Although it was just a friendly match, half of the German sports media reported on the game, especially on the same day, when Bayern Munich beat the Spaniard in La Liga 2:1 at the doorstep, it was even more contrasting.

"Kickers" - 2; 1 and 7:1. In the preparations for the new season, it is obvious that Leverkusen has been at the forefront, while Bayern Munich is far behind. Leverkusen, who has experienced the Dorm poisonous storm, is not only not affected, but has quickly entered the state. Barack and Zheng Zhi, who joined the summer, perfectly integrated into the team. With all the firepower, they played 7:1 so that Aston Villa could not find the direction to return to Great Britain.

"Photo" - Terror! Terror! Terror! The midfield iron triangle composed of Zheng Zhi, Barack and Emerson seems to be able to crush any midfield combination, and they are surrounded by helpers like Ze Roberto, Lamelo and Beinrich, who have sounded the horn of charge for the new season.

"Frankfurter Report" - A Zheng Zhi quickly made Leverkusen's midfield chemical reaction, while a Qi Hong, has not allowed us to see anything yet.

"Spiegel" - There is no doubt that the attack power displayed by Leverkusen 7:1 Aston Villa is quite shocking. If they can score another amazing score against Parma next time, then this team will be enough to make the German earthquake.

In England, because there was a lack of reporters following the team, no newspaper reported the game as soon as possible. However, when it was on BBC Sports News that night, the game quickly attracted the attention of fans across England.

When the BBC host read this news, fans across England were in an uproar.

"Wardfack?"

“1:7?”

"Is Gregory sent the youth team? I don't believe it."

However, after the host read out the first list, everyone realized that the truth was not what they imagined.

"God, all the main forces attacked and were beaten 1:7? How strong is this Leverkusen? Did they capture all the aliens on Earth? But there is only one alien on this planet, and Ronaldo is in Inter Milan."

"No matter how strong he is, he can be better than Manchester United? Where are the Aston Villa's players traveling? They are not playing football at all. I guess they are on the road. I might as well just sell my face to Leverkusen. I can only understand this way, ah, damn it, can I admit that they really lost such a shameful score?"

“Unacceptable, totally unacceptable.”

Even Birmingham, who is still in the low-level league, couldn't help but jump out and laugh at them. The Birmingham Chairman said in an interview with the Guardian: "This is simply a joke. You must know that we tied Liverpool 1:1 yesterday. I can't imagine how they lost 1:7 in Germany. The whole Birmingham, no, the whole England's face was thrown away by him."

Aston Villa fans even petitioned the club to reevaluate the players to see if they are still suitable for playing in Aston Villa, and they don't want to be relegated at the end of the season.

Aston Villa's head coach Gregory had to hold a press conference and explained it seriously to media fans.

"We were really not ready, nor did we expect it."

"We really met a pretty powerful Leverkusen."

"When we lost the first goal, we didn't have a premonition of the massacre, but when the second and third goals came, we knew that we were going to have big trouble today. I rarely see a team playing like this, even if we play Manchester United, there is no such oppression. We were defending, defending, and running to defend. My players even cramped three at the last moment. Believe me, it was a team that was even stronger than Manchester United. We played with Manchester United twice last season. Although Manchester United gave us a strong sense of oppression, we were not powerless to fight back, but we really couldn't do it when facing Leverkusen."

"We only had two chances in the whole game, and Dabring caught one of them, and it was that simple."

"You can look at the German media reports, and I believe they were also very shocked."

※※※※

Parma's bus slowly drove into Leverkusen City and finally stepped down at the Yundeng Hotel. The Yundeng Hotel is part of the North Stand of Bayer Stadium. The place where Parma lives is really convenient. During the game tomorrow, they just walk to the locker room, and even save on the bus.

The team was a little tired, and head coach Alberto Malesani let the players rest early after the team's meal, but he was still careful and asked the assistant coach to secretly monitor in the corridor, so as not to avoid Argentine Ortega running out to play again.

A total bad boy.

However, Ortega, one centimeter taller than Maradona, has always been known as Maradona's successor. Maradona has just bought it from Sampdoria less than half a month. This guy has violated the rules twice and has not stopped during the training camp. He is now a little confused about whether it is right or wrong to buy him. At present, this thorn still needs to be trained.

Alas, what's wrong with learning Maradona? Why do you have to learn his bad side? Doesn't you know how to plan your career at the age of 25? Sometimes, Malesani really thinks Ortega is a brainless person.

Can Ortega be known as Maradona's successor not awesome? But he has never been able to beat people's expectations. Just like many years later, people praised Messi as Maradona's successor. In fact, they have a lot in common. Putting aside height, they are very similar in terms of technology. Ortega is extremely skilled at the foot, and has a strong ability to break through balls. At the same time, he has a very strong ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal. He is a typical No. 9 player and is often used as a front midfielder.

Or use the right winger. The 20-year-old Ortega participated in the 1994 World Cup in the United States. In the 1998 French World Cup, he performed well as the core of the midfield. However, due to too many dribbling under his feet, Ortega seemed a bit "independent", which is one of the reasons why he has never received talent. What is even more impressive is that in the quarter-finals between Argentina and the Netherlands, Ortega was overwhelmed by a Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar, but was sent off by a red card, and the Argentina was also eliminated...

Ortega is the core of his team, and Malesani is not worried. Today's Parma is powerful and not inferior to any Serie A team. From the perspective of later generations, this team can be said to be extremely star-studded. As one of the seven Serie A sisters, no matter where they take it, they can be top-notch.

The first person to be hit is the young player Buffon... If Zheng Zhi met the young player Buffon now, Zheng Zhi would probably have a lot of feelings. 20 years later, the young player Buffon has not retired. He is another Lucio-like old fairy...

The best-in-class defense line is Buffon, who is on the rise, and the future Golden Ball Award Cannavaro and world champion Toulam are extremely luxurious. Benarivo also has a place in the Italian national team.

The midfield creativity is slightly insufficient. Fosse and Dino Baggio are both representatives of Italian central defenders before the appearance of sleeping skin. They are engineer-type panacea, but they are not creative enough. Although Ortega is very sharp, he is occasionally mentally disabled.

The forwards include Crespo and Amoruso, who can be regarded as a slightly smaller version of Barti and Ronaldo, and there are also fierce players and fairies like Divalio and Dinatale on the bench.

After squatting at the stairs for nearly an hour, the assistant coach finally returned to Malezani to report on his work.

“No movement,”

"Nothing should be unexpected."

"Yeah," Malesani nodded, "This is the best. In fact, if he wants to go out, we can't stay with him all night. If he has this restless heart this season, then we can only admit it."

Malesani shook her head, not wanting to think about Ortega's mess anymore. As the saying goes, it will rain, and if Ortega wants to get married, no one can stop him. At worst, he will deal with him next summer.

"By the way, I heard that Leverkusen won Aston Villa 7-1 at home?" Malezani prefers to talk about tomorrow's opponent Leverkusen.

"Yes, the German media were reporting on this game crazily the other day." The assistant nodded, then spoke again, not talking about the game. "We should have bought him at the beginning, so there would be no more trouble."

"Who?" Malaisani was a little puzzled, not knowing who the assistant coach was talking about, but he quickly reported it.

"Ah, he."

"The boss doesn't agree, what can I do? If we can quote at the beginning of the year, I believe we can get it, but we can't even open the words, alas!" When Malezani thought of missing Zheng Zhi, he felt a little uncomfortable. The Tanji family looked down on Chinese players so much. He had to buy Ortega. At the beginning of the year, he had decided to buy Ortega in the summer.

Of course, Malezani will not make trouble with the Tanji family in this matter. After all, his main lineup is still there. In addition to having more problems, Ortega believes that Ortega is much stronger than Zheng Zhi, and is in his year of playing. In addition to letting Chiesa go, he is still very satisfied overall.

Of course, if Zheng Zhi can be brought to him and become Ortega's substitute, that would be the most perfect result.

It turned out that at the beginning of the year, when Florence and Frankfurt played a warm-up match, Parma set his sights on Zheng Zhi, but because of the club owner, Zheng Zhi missed the fate with Parma.

But if Zheng Zhi knew about it, he probably wouldn't have chosen Parma, because he knew that Parma's future was far inferior to Leverkusen...

"You mean, he directed this game?" Malezani's mind was still very flexible.

"It's not like him directing it, but he plays a very important role in it. The iron triangle formed by him, Barack and Emerson has raised Leverkusen to a new level. With the two wings, Aston Villa is like an amateur, and it's not surprising that the big score will appear."

"Oh, it's just an ordinary team in England. There's nothing to do with it. The score doesn't represent real strength. Playing with us tomorrow, they won't have such a chance. But it's good that we can just test our strength in the new season."

Maresani, who won the UEFA Cup, would not be shocked when he heard this news. In this era, Serie A is still the era of a small World Cup, and they really don’t look down on clubs from other countries, even German clubs.

...

...

On the contrary, Waller took this game seriously. The next day, in the home team's locker room, Waller began to stimulate and mobilize Leverkusen's players.

"The team next door is the UEFA Cup champion this year."

"If we win them, it means that our last 7:1 victory was a real victory and we can defeat all opponents."

"If we lose to them, that score is a joke."

"I believe a lot of German media and fans are waiting to see our jokes, especially those of Bayern Munich, because they don't believe you have the ability to score a 7:1 score. They long for you to be rubbed on the grass by the League Cup champion, and then it's best that we lose a lot of miserable loss."

"Can we let them see jokes?"

"cannot,"

"We are not the cowardly Bayern Munich, we will lose to the Champions League!"

"So even if the opponent is the UEFA Cup champion, we have to beat them back!"

"Let them see, we are stronger than them!"

"Go on, guys!"

Today, Volal's starting lineup was just an adjustment, that is, Novotney became the starting center back, replacing the young Lucio, and there was no change in other positions. He believed that the only weakness of the team in the last game was Lucio. Now let Novotney return to the starting position, this is the most powerful Leverkusen.

But he and the team actually don’t know much about Parma, only what they see on TV.

Only Zheng Zhi is the most experienced.

In the player channel, what impressed him the most was actually not Buffon, but the future Evergrande coach Cannavaro.

I have to admit that Cannavaro was so handsome when he was young, and the perfect Italian male model. Of course, Buffon is not much worse...

Just like when he met Lippi in the first three months, Zheng Zhi's eyes were complicated and gentle when he met Cannavaro. The man in front of him had too many interactions with him at Evergrande.

I don’t know if it’s because of his handsome appearance, Cannavaro is born to be very sensitive to human gazes. He felt the strange gaze that Zheng Zhi cast to him.

A handsome person is always watched, even if it is a man's gaze...

Zheng Zhi's smile and gentle gaze made Cannavaro's whole body instantly get goosebumps. For the first time, he actually took the initiative to move his gaze away.

A little disgusting ~

Isn’t there no comrade who says he likes him, it’s a lot in Italy, but isn’t it normal in Germany? At this moment, Cannavaro suspected that Zheng Zhi was also of this type…

Unfortunately, Zheng Zhi was reborn half a year earlier. If he had been reborn in the second half of the year, his eyes might not have been so gentle, because Cannavaro directly committed suicide in the second half of the year, and personally ruined the future of Evergrande in the AFC Champions League and the league. Then, Cannavaro was sent to learn the company's corporate culture, and Zheng Zhi replaced him and became the acting coach...

Zheng Zhi also felt Cannavaro's discomfort, and finally turned his eyes back and talked to Barak for a few words.

“Michael,”

“We will have very little space in this game,”

"There will be no longer space to play Aston Villa. We have to keep the formation more compact, you have to increase the range of running. When defending, you have to stop them from playing in the backcourt as soon as possible. Those two guys are also very difficult, and you won't be easy when the ball is in front."

His chin turned and pointed at Fosse and Dino Baggio. Generally speaking, he still remembered the core lineup of this team back then. Although many people had forgotten their faces and only knew half of them, the back of the jersey was clearly written.

"Don't worry,"

"They can't stand me, and their legs are not as long as my third leg."

Barack stood up with his chest and was confident.
