Football irons are burning

Chapter 25 Press Conference

The Bundesliga resumed on January 1. After a one-month wait, all clubs are gearing up.

The weather conditions are still a bit harsh, and it is still snowing in some places.

In one of the first three games, Bayern beat Hamburg 3-0 at home, closing the score to only 2 points.

This means putting pressure on the Kaiserslautern team. If they can't win, Bayern will reduce their point advantage.

However, Kaiserslautern's opponent Schalke 1 on January 30 is not a good stubble, they are now ranked fifth.

Coupled with away games, the difficulty can be imagined.

The team arrived in Gelsenkirchen two days earlier, and the weather was still cold, but Li Tie grew up in the Northeast, so the climate was not a problem for him at all.

At the press conference before the game, Rehhagel unexpectedly brought Li Tie to participate!

Obviously, Rehagel valued Li Tie very much, and he also let the media know his favorite general.

However, Li Tie didn't have stage fright either. When he arrived at the press conference, he was very calm.

After the press conference started, people soon noticed Li Tie, and there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Many people, who didn't even have any information about Li Tie, were dumbfounded.

On the contrary, the Chinese media was very happy. This time, Lin Hai, a reporter from the 5 sets of Bundesliga interview team, came to interview.

After the coaches of both sides finished speaking, some people began to ask Li Tie questions.

"Hello, Li Tie, I'm Hannah, a reporter from Bild. We don't know that Kaiserslautern has signed a Chinese player. I want to ask, what is the purpose of the club? What can you do for the team?"

The first questioner was a blonde German female reporter.

Li Tie smiled and said: "It seems that everyone still has a certain skepticism about Chinese football. This is normal. I personally don't shy away from this. Chinese football is indeed far behind European football, and the strength of Chinese players is not small compared to European players. However, the purpose of my coming to the Bundesliga is not to travel. I will do my best to help the club win one victory after another. I am not talking about it. I hope everyone will remember what I said today. Kaiserslautern will definitely stay at the top of the standings at the end of this season. !"

Chinese reporter Lin Hai immediately applauded, but very few people responded to him.

Then, another reporter asked: "Li Tie, hello, I am Joseph, a reporter from Kicker magazine. Does what you just said mean that Kaiserslautern issued a declaration of victory?"

Li Tie smiled and said: "You can understand it this way. In my dictionary, the champion is always in the first row. Since we are already leading, why not lead to the end? Competitive sports pursue the highest, fastest and strongest, and football is the same. Our goal is to be the champion."

Joseph asked: "Why are you so sure? You must know that Bayern defeated Hamburg 3-0 yesterday, which has already demonstrated the strength of the team. As far as I know, Kaiserslautern lost Michael Ballack during the winter break. This is our excellent player in Germany. Can you replace Ballack? Can Kaiserslautern's old lineup survive to the end? I don't think so."

Li Tie smiled slightly and said: "Michael is indeed a phenomenal midfielder. I don't have to doubt that he will become the leader of the German team in the future. My goal is to become the leader of Kaiserslautern. I don't care if other teams win or lose. We will always win and finally win the Bundesliga silver medal. As for the age of the team, this is not a problem at all. We rely on the team as a whole. They've done a pretty good job and are role models for our young players."

Joseph also wanted to say that the microphone was snatched away by Lin Hai.

"Hi Li Tie, I'm Lin Hai, a reporter from the 5th set. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on completing your first Bundesliga performance." Lin Hai said excitedly.

Li Tie smiled and said, "Thank you."

Lin Hai said: "We all know that you played an extremely important role in the top ten games, but the Bundesliga and the top ten games are completely different levels of competition. Are you ready to lead the team to victory?"

Li Tie still smiled and said: "Of course I am prepared. I will try my best to win every game. This is my football belief. Although the Bundesliga is more intense than the top ten games, the teammates around me are also stronger. There is no doubt that the strength of Kaiserslautern is stronger than that of the national team. I will also play a greater role in this system."

Lin Hai then asked: "Then will you have assists and goals?"

Li Tie said with a smile: "It all depends on the opportunity. I will not miss any chance to score. Of course, the team's victory is more important."

At this time, Rehhagel immediately said: "Okay, let's end today's interview."

Rehhagel was very satisfied with Li Tie's performance, but the rookie showed arrogance, which was in line with Emperor Otto's temper.

He is also full of expectations for Li Tie, expecting that this is a new leader of Kaiserslautern.

However, in order to protect Li Tie, he stopped the reporters from asking more questions.

After getting down, Rehhagel said: "Li Tie, your speech just now is very domineering. Yes, we Kaiserslautern are going to issue a championship declaration now. You, a newcomer, seem more domineering when you say it. But in the future, you should talk less when dealing with these people, so as not to let them talk nonsense in the newspaper and make you feel uncomfortable."

Li Tie smiled and said: "Coach, I don't care about these things. I also said a little more on a whim, but I will prove that Kaiserslautern will definitely win the championship and achieve a legend."

Rehagel laughed.

The next day, the media wrote articles one after another, giving mixed praise to Li Tie's speech.

Bild: Chinese rookie domineering champion declaration, Kaiserslautern is no longer low-key.

Kicker: China's new aid is full of talk, and the future of the Red Devils is worrying.

Süddeutsche Zeitung: Chinese player Li Tie speaks loudly and ambitiously, but football is not just about talking, the Chinese need to prove their own strength.

The views of the media are, of course, their own.

Li Tie will not care about this.

But he also wants to thank these media, because of their publicity, Li Tie has a certain reputation in the German football circle.

Indeed, it is hard for such a crazy person not to attract attention.

Even Li Tie himself felt that he was really a little crazy?Wasn't he like this before?

Is it because after merging a few guys, the mouth also became bigger?
At 1:30 pm on January 4, the competition officially started.

In Kaiserslautern's starting lineup, the team's forwards are still Marshall and Rischer's partner, the front midfielder Hristov, Li Tie and Sforza play double midfielders, the three backs are Bremer, Ruth and Schonberg, and the two full-backs are Wagner and Latino.

The goalkeeper is still Kuba.

This game was also broadcast live by 5 sets. The Bundesliga has always been live broadcasted domestically. In the second half of this season, three Chinese players joined in at once.

"Good evening, fans and friends. Today we are live broadcasting a focus match in the 21st round of the Bundesliga. The leader Kaiserslautern played against the fifth-ranked Schalke 04 team. Li Tie, who everyone cares about, is likely to start. Director Zhang, what do you think?"

In the live broadcast room, Huang Daxian said a little high-spirited that he was in a good mood, and finally a Chinese player landed in the five major leagues.

Hey Zhang originally commented on the Serie A, but now he is also invited to comment on the Bundesliga. He and Huang Daxian cooperated well in the top ten games, and he himself is willing to comment on games with Chinese players.

"Hey, needless to say, Li Tie will definitely start. Kaiserslautern sold Ballack during the winter break. Li Tie is sure to be on top of his position. Li Tie's ability is undoubtedly no problem. His performance in the top ten is obvious to all. Through unremitting running, he can provide effective protection for the team's defense. In addition, his counterattack ability cannot be ignored. Often times he launches a counterattack by stealing the ball at this point, and the efficiency of scoring goals is very high. As we all know, Kaiserslautern's defense line The age is aging, and Li Tie's role is also crucial." Zhang Heihe said.

Huang Daxian immediately saw the starting lineup, and immediately said: "The starting lineup has come out, and Li Tie is indeed the starting lineup. He has become the first Chinese to start the game in the five major leagues."

"Hey, that's right, Kaiserslautern is right to use Li Tie."
