I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 36 Bayern Munich, which was defeated across the board, marched eastward to Ukraine (for further reading)

After Zhao Jinge's unscrupulous teammates knew about this, they called one after another to tease him.

A few old fritters also said that he couldn't let go, and that after the end of the season, he planned to take Zhao Jinge to some high-end places to meet the world.

These schadenfreudes!
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Jinge, who was overwhelmed by the harassing calls from his teammates, was just about to turn off his phone.

Suddenly received a call from De Bruyne. Zhao Jinge didn't want to answer it at first, but felt that De Bruyne was not the kind of person who chewed his tongue. After hesitating for a while, he still connected the call.

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhao Jinge heard a loud noise from De Bruyne, as if there was a celebration.

"Zhao! What are you doing? Why did you answer my call so late?! Turn on the TV and watch the 31st round of the Bundesliga, Leverkusen vs. Bayern Munich at home!"

"Watching a game? A Bayern Munich game?"

Feeling a little depressed, Zhao Jinge turned on the TV casually.

"Yes Zhao! Now Leverkusen is leading [-]-[-] at home! Now that the Bundesliga is on the real-time standings, we are back to the top of the list!"

"It was nothing short of a surprise!"

Bayern behind? !Zhao Jinge, who hadn't turned to the game channel, immediately cheered up when he heard the news.

"Kevin, I'm looking for the game channel, this is the best news I've heard today!"

"Zhao, you are right! The injury has had too much impact on Bayern.

Although our schedule is very tight, the main players are very tired.But luckily no one was injured.

Bayern's current injury list is enough to make up a main lineup! "

"Who says it's not! Champion! This year's Bundesliga champion is coming! Kevin! As long as we don't make mistakes later! We are the Bundesliga champion!"

Zhao Jinge, who was mentally cleared after the rain, found the game channel and confirmed that Bayern was really behind, and immediately shouted excitedly at home.

"No! No! No! Zhao, calm down, don't get excited!"

"Kevin! You told me not to get excited! Listen to your excited voice, are you trying to tell me not to get excited?"

"That's Michelle and the others making noises. I didn't yell like you! Well, I'm going to tell other people the good news. See you the day after tomorrow!"

After De Bruyne notified the good news, he hung up the phone and went to remind other teammates to watch the game.

Zhao Jinge sat on the sofa and stared at the TV screen intently, completely turning into an absolutely loyal Leverkusen fan.

When seeing Sun Xingmin of Leverkusen miss a good opportunity, Zhao Jinge slapped his thigh in disappointment, wishing to replace him and play for Sun Xingmin!

Seeing that Bayern Munich was struggling to support Leverkusen, they kept cheering for Leverkusen and clapping their hands.

Zhao Jinge's expression changed at any time with the development of the game situation.

That's a position Leverkusen absolutely supports.

It is not too much to say that a 30-year-old Leverkusen fan came uninvited!
Under the eager expectation of Zhao Jinge and other Wolfsburg players, Leverkusen lived up to expectations and won Bayern Munich with a score of [-]-[-] at home.

Once again, Wolfsburg was sent to the top of the standings.

Guardiola was criticized by the media after losing in the league.

Said that he brought Bayern Munich from the previous year's triple crown to last year's German double crown last season.

I am afraid that even the Bundesliga champion will not be able to defend this year!
Moreover, in the Champions League semi-finals, facing Barcelona, ​​which is in full swing this year, Bayern, which is full of injuries, is also the one that is not favored.

All of a sudden, Bayern Munich's championship situation deteriorated extremely. A large group of German celebrities with Bayern background immediately gave pointers to the team, especially Guardiola.

It is because of Guagua that Bayern has fallen into this situation today.

A good team of the top triple crown, handed over to you, has been reinforced, and the result is almost unable to hold the Bundesliga.

Apart from you Guardiola, who is qualified to take on this responsibility? !

Guardiola was caught off guard and lost control inside and outside.

Outwardly, we must deal with the accusations of the media and celebrities, and we must take responsibility for the current results of the team!

Internally, it is necessary to appease the Bayern executives who have been dissatisfied with him and the locker room affected by injuries.

But as the saying goes, blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly!

On May 5, Guardiola led Bayern Munich to challenge his old club Barcelona on the field.

In this game, Guardiola decided to take the initiative in controlling the ball at the Nou Camp and improve the midfielder's ability to control the ball so that MSN could not target.

An incomprehensible 3421 formation was directly dispatched.

Seeing this bold attempt, Carragher, who was explaining the game on Sky Sports, said he couldn't understand Guardiola's changes.

"It's so brave and crazy to use a back three against MSN."

This bold change really limited MSN's performance before 70 minutes.

But when the game entered the final stage and Bayern's midfielders were exhausted, the situation suddenly deteriorated.

Messi played his peak performance, from 77 minutes to 80 minutes, scoring two goals in 4 minutes.

And sent an assist in the 94th minute to help Barcelona beat Bayern Munich [-]-[-].

Guardiola's decision to change after the game was criticized by all the media and a large number of Bayern fans!
At the end of his second season at Bayern, Guardiola suffered an unprecedented crisis of confidence.

Once this season's Bayern has no results, then Guardiola's situation can be imagined.

The angry Bayern executives and the European media waiting to see Guardiola fall from the altar will never let him go easily.

After get out of class became Guardiola's only choice.

Meanwhile, on May 5, Wolfsburg will travel to Dnipro, the fourth largest city in Ukraine.

On the second day, May 5, they will play the Europa League semi-final first leg here.

On the plane, the Wolfsburg players were extremely happy, without the slightest sense of fatigue during a long-distance flight.

Obviously they already know the news of Bayern Munich's defeat at Camp Nou, otherwise they wouldn't be so happy.

Arnold even said something full of irony.

"It seems that Germany's European honor this year depends on our Wolfsburg!"

Hearing this, Dieter Heijin frowned.

He felt that his players disrespected his semi-final opponent a little bit, which was a big taboo in the game.

The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength, not to mention the opponent in the semi-finals, the biggest dark horse in this year's Europa League!
Dieter Heiking immediately criticized the few who danced the most, warning them not to get carried away with joy just because they heard bad news about Bayern.

Not to mention the attitude and behavior of underestimating the opponent just before the game just because the opponent is weaker.

There are not too many games lost because of underestimating the enemy in the history of football.

After the lesson of Dieter Blackkin, the entire Wolfsburg team has corrected their mentality.

On the plane, I continued to learn about my opponents in the semifinals from various materials.

In the semi-finals of the Europa League, Dnipro is one of the least promising teams.

In addition to their opponent Wolfsburg, the other semi-final is between the Serie A powerhouse Fiorentina and the Europa League king Sevilla.

These three teams, no matter which one is much stronger than Dnipro.

In the Ukrainian Super League, the strongest team is undoubtedly the Shakhtar Donetsk who can often play in the Champions League group stage, but once it enters the knockout round, it is kicked out by the major giants.

That's right, it was you, Bayern Munich!
In the quarter-finals of this year's Champions League, the miners were just slaughtered [-]-[-]!
And Dnipro has been playing the role of the middle and upper reaches of the Ukrainian Super League.

Although he can often play European games, he only plays a small and insignificant role in it.

This season Dnipro originally got the qualifying tickets for the Champions League.

But in the competition for the Champions League qualifying round, he was defeated and could only compete in the Europa League.

Dnipro played stumblingly in the group stage, and in the final round they beat Saint-Etienne at home to advance in a thrilling manner.

But after entering the knockout round, Dnipro's performance made the eyes of the fans shine.

First, one win and one loss eliminated Olympiacos, who was also brushed off by the Champions League qualifying round.

Then in the second round of extra time in the quarter-finals, they eliminated the Eredivisie giants Ajax through the advantage of away goals.

Immediately afterwards, in the quarter-finals, the Belgian giants Bruges advanced to the semi-finals with one goal.

Finally, in the semi-finals, it came to Wolfsburg, and it was an out-and-out dark horse!

Although it is quite different from Wolfsburg in terms of hard power.

But in the first three knockout rounds, which round of opponents were not eliminated when they were stronger than Dnipro?

There are no underdogs in the Champions League semi-finals, and of course the Europa League semi-finals are the same.Which of the teams that can reach the semi-finals has no real skills.

At this moment of the semi-finals, it is not only the hard power of the players that determines the game, but also the performance and tenacity at the critical moment are also the winners and losers of the game.

The next day, May 5th, in Dnipro's home court, Dnipro created a frenzied atmosphere among the fans that was not lost to Westfalen.

More than [-] Dnipro fans poured into their home stadium.

This is the first time that Wolfsburg players have encountered such fanatical fans in recent games!
They are looking forward to Dnipro's victory at home court.

It is best to be able to go all the way, reach the finals or even win the cup.

That will be the brightest moment in the history of Dnipro!

With players from both sides entering the field, the game is about to begin.

Dnipro started the 4231 formation at home.

Goalkeeper: Baiko.

Guards: Fedecki, Chebeyashiko, Douglas, Leo Matos.

Midfielder: Kankawa, Fedorchuk as the defensive midfielder, Matthews, Konopyanka, and Rotan as the frontcourt trio.

Forward: Kalinic.

Dnipro's performance is so good this year, he has become a well-deserved dark horse in the Europa League.

It mainly depends on the two core players who played well in the team.

They are Konopyanka, known as "Ukrainian Messi", and Kalinic, a talented striker from Croatia.

Although these two have not yet grown to the point where they can enter the sight of the rich.

But there are also many traditional strong teams in the five major European leagues who have taken a fancy to them and want to bring them to a higher level of league this summer.

For example, Leverkusen, Lazio, Sevilla and other teams have the intention to introduce both of them.

Wolfsburg's starting lineup is also the main force, and the formation is still the same 4231.

Goalkeeper: Benaglio.

Defenders: Vierinha, Naldo, Knoch, Ricardo Rodriguez.

Double defensive midfielders: Gustavo, Arnold.

Left and right midfielders: Perisic, Zhao Jinge.

Front midfielder: De Bruyne.

Forward: Dost.

Wolfsburg travel to Ukraine, although the players were lifted by the news of Bayern Munich's defeat.

However, the fatigue brought to the body by long-distance flights is obviously not something that can be erased by one or two good news.

Moreover, he was facing an unfamiliar opponent who had no record of fighting before.

Dieter Heiking's bottom line for the team is not to lose.

In the next round, returning to Wolfsburg's home court, Wolfsburg, who has recharged his batteries, will naturally have a very high chance of winning against Dnipro, who is on the expedition.

Therefore, after the opening, Wolfsburg played a little conservatively.

Appearing very cautious, De Bruyne was actively observing Dnipro's game rhythm while holding the ball in his own half.

Zhao Jinge also used several breakthroughs to understand Dnipro's defensive strength and today's referee's penalty scale.

Dnipro did not take the initiative to attack either. After all, they were the weak side. Almost all tactics in the Europa League match were defensive counterattacks.

As time passed, De Bruyne gradually became familiar with Dnipro's style of play and began to signal his teammates to follow him forward.

After receiving Zhao Jinge's indication that the referee's penalty scale is stricter and the opponent's defense is not weak.

De Bruyne began to take the initiative to speed up Wolfsburg's offensive rhythm.

Frequently use the way of dribbling the ball to cause fouls by the opponent's defenders and get the opportunity to set the ball.

Under Wolfsburg's continuous impact, the opponent's full-back Fedecki and midfielder Kankawa soon received yellow cards.

However, because the place of the foul was not very good, De Bruyne and Zhao Jinge, each with a free kick, failed to achieve results.

Dnipro was barely able to fight back under Wolfsburg's offensive.

In their offense, only Konopyanka and Kalinic can be in the frontcourt, posing a certain threat to Wolfsburg.

But only two people were restricted by Wolfsburg in the defensive area of ​​the backcourt, with more defense and less rigid restrictions.

Although there are constant fouls and cards, Dnipro is worthy of being the super dark horse of this tournament, and he can still firmly defend his core area.

At least in terms of defense, it is definitely not worse than Borussia Mönchengladbach, or even stronger!

The opponent's core players were besieged on their own side, and Zhao Jinge, Dost, and Perisic also suffered the same treatment in the hinterland of Dnipro.

Amid the cheers and shouts of more than [-] fans at home, Dnipro defended his goal without moving.

In the first half, the two sides scored a goalless draw and ended with a score of zero to zero.
