Chapter 408 High Gamble(1/2)
After the Champions League draw results came out, Leverkusen players on the training ground also started to talk.
"I'm a grass,"
"The Death Group."
"Lazio, Dynamo Kiev, we want to compete with them for the quota. Lazio is definitely not to mention. The key is that we want to play Dynamo Kiev, they must grab points at home and away games. It is very important to play Lazio away games!"
"Dynamo Kiev is also very strong. Bayern almost fell at their feet last year. Eastern European teams are always mysterious. You don't know if some demons suddenly pop up in their team. Didn't Dynamo Kiev jump out of a very terrible striker last year? He was bought by AC Milan and forgot what he called it."
Barack and Beinrich were analyzing, but they just couldn't remember the name of the striker who AC Milan bought in the past.
"Shevchenko."
Zheng Zhi interrupted aside.
"People call it Ukrainian nuclear warhead."
"Ah, Zheng, you actually know him. Yes, everyone calls him a Ukrainian nuclear warhead. It's scary to hear this nickname, but I think he is actually not that strong. The main reason is that the defense lines between Real Madrid and Bayern were too bad last year. They were all big names and didn't stare at people at all. If I were me, I would stare at him without temper."
Barak scoffed at Shevchenko's nickname.
"Michael, not necessarily. Before you really fight, you will never know the true strength of your opponent. Why don't I make a bet with you?"
"What bet?"
Barack became interested.
"I bet this guy can get the best scorer in Serie A."
"Just this season."
"Ha?" Barack laughed, "What are you kidding?"
"A rookie from Eastern Europe came to his first season in Serie A. You actually said that he could win the Serie A top scorer? This is absolutely impossible."
Barack grinned, "You're sure to lose, tell me, what are you going to bet with me?"
He absolutely does not believe that a rookie can win the best scorer after just entering the World Cup. Are Serie A defenders all fools? It is impossible...
"Let's do this, at the end of the season, a Lamborghini sports car?" Zheng Zhi smiled strangely, "If the bet is large enough, it will be more attractive."
"Ah? Isn't it crazy?" Barack's chin was about to fall off. He was paralyzed. The bet was too big. Judging from his current income, it would cost two months to buy the latest Lamborghini sports car!
"I know you have a lot of money, but you can't waste it like this, right? Forget it, I won't bet with you. It's meaningless to know that I won." Barack waved his hand, quite loyal, and didn't want Zheng Zhi to spend money.
"Don't, I have a lot of money, but it doesn't mean I will definitely lose. No one knows who the European champion in 2000 is not? Didn't you read sports news? That guy ranked fourth in the odds of winning the Serie A scorer list. Of course there is a reason for me to bet with you. Hurry up, do you dare to gamble? Are you afraid of losing?"
"Bah, am I afraid? I am saving you money. Since you have to give me the money, I have no choice. I will bet with you. We have to find a witness."
"Stefan, you testify to us. If Shevchenko wins the Serie A top scorer this season, I will lose to him one of the latest Lamborghini sports cars. If Shevchenko doesn't get it, he will lose to me!"
Stefan Beinrich rolled his eyes, wondering what to say, are young people so generous nowadays? He just plays like this at any time. This money is not picked up for nothing after falling from the sky. Don’t you feel sorry for it?
"Zheng, you've thought about it. I feel that the probability of your loss is too high, there is no need at all. You might as well bet on Batistuta or Ronaldo. These two great masters are in Serie A. Are there any other players doing anything? I think the biggest probability is that Ronaldo won the best scorer or Batistuta, as long as these two guys are not injured. If you are injured, it's not the same level as others."
Beinrich grabbed the back of his head, and seemed to think something was wrong again, "No, Bielhof won the top scorer just after he arrived in AC Milan last year. Milan's midfield is so strong, it's too easy to feed the forward. Michael, you have to think about it."
"What are you thinking? Although Bielhof won the top scorer as soon as he arrived in Milan, it is not his first year of playing football in Serie A."
"Think about it, how many years he has played in Italy before, he knows everything about the Italian league!" Barak is obviously very familiar with Italian football and Bierkhov.
Indeed, Bierkhov is an old man in Italy. He came to AC Milan later in his career. His resume is actually quite rich, but he has not been in a wealthy family before.
Born in 1968, Bierkhov became famous in the final of the 1996 European Championship. At the age of 28, he came on as a substitute in the final between the German team and the Czech team. After he touched the ball for the first time after he took the field, he tied the score 1:1 for the lagging German team. Finally, he scored the winning ball and became the hero of the Germans. Later, Bierkhov won the best scorer in the Serie A at the age of 30 and became the captain of the German national team.
Oliver Bielhoff is a late-stage "big master". When the "German tank double gun barrel" composed of Woller and Klinsmann bombarded, Bielhoff could only be an audience. When Woller retired, he caught up with the opportunity to partner with Klinsmann. It was because of his appearance that the vacancy left by Woller was filled.
Indeed, the 1996 European Cup was like a watershed. Before that, Bierkhov was just an unknown person. Neither in Hamburg nor Borussia, Bierkhov got many opportunities to play, so he left Germany and came to Austria to join Salzburg. His days in Austria were quiet and happy. Bierkhov scored in the average Austria A goal was easy, but when Inter Milan extended an olive branch to him, he still came to Italy without hesitation. However, as soon as he entered the giants, Bierkhov could not find a place in Inter Milan and had few playing time. He was loaned to Ascoli in the second half of the season and was sold to the team at a cheap price after that season.
In Ascoli, Bielhof fell into a trough because he doubted whether he was suitable for Serie A. However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and devoted himself to the game. Bielhof chose the No. 20 jersey we were familiar with in the future. As a result, although he scored a lot of goals and won the best scorer in the second division in a few seasons, Ascoli, who had limited strength, not only did not advance to Class A, but also fell into Class C. Ascoli's chairman could not bear to have a strong player buried it, so he recommended Bielhof to Udinese. In this way, Bielhof came to Udinese in the summer of 1995 and embarked on the road to take off.
In Udinese's first season, Bielhof, who had been suffocating for a long time, scored 17 goals in one breath, most of which came from headers. His powerful header became a beautiful landscape in Serie A. Udinese also relied on this powerful weapon to achieve a good result of 10th place. Not only that, Bielhof's outstanding performance also enabled him to receive invitations from both the German team and the Italian team, because his grandmother was Italian, and he could represent the Italian team. But after repeated weighing, Bielhof still chose Germany where he was born, which led to the famous "golden ball" he later went to the European Cup.
Barak believes that Bielhof and Shevchenko have essential differences. Shevchenko is a rookie, but Bielhof is not!
However, no matter how many reasons are, Zheng Zhi believed in his judgment and thought he clearly remembered that Shevchenko won the Serie A top scorer in his first year of joining AC Milan. The number was still very gorgeous. 24 goals, Bielhof scored 18 goals when he won the Serie A top scorer, 6 less. Moreover, Shevchenko won the top scorer more than once. Four years later, he scored 24 goals and won the top scorer again.
"Okay, that's it. You must remember to save the money and buy me a Lamborghini at that time." Zheng Zhi was very satisfied with Barack accepting his bet.
At this moment, Robert Kovac came, and the Croats were shouting loudly.
"Neuropathy!"
"It's so psychopath!"
"Damn bastard, he left without saying a word. This matter has been hidden for so long!"
"Robert, what's wrong? Who made you angry? Could it be that my wife ran away with someone else, right?"
Beinrich looked at Kovac with an angry face and actually dared to joke with him.
"roll!"
"Isn't it a fucking Nico running away!"
"Damn it, he became a traitor!"
Niko Kovac, his biological brother.
"Ah? You mean, he ran away with your wife?" Beinrich's mind had not turned around yet.
"Stefan, will you die if you don't joke?" Robert Kovac glared at him.
“He went to the hamburger.”
"I can't figure out why he did this, what's the point of going to burgers? Is the future of burgers better than Leverkusen?"
Robert's voice finally became a little gentler, but his eyes were still full of resentment.
"I can't figure it out either." Beinrich finally became serious.
"What can I do where to go? If I have to find a reason, I think it should be because of money, right? Apart from money, I can't understand why he made such a choice."
"Well, that's all." Zheng Zhi nodded as well.
"He really shouldn't have left."
“He’ll miss a lot.”
"However, we have lost a defender now, which is really too hasty. I don't know if the leader will buy another defender. I feel that the back line is still a bit thin. I hope Lucio can grow up as soon as possible!"
...
...
※※※※
At this time, Woller was also furious because he had just found out.
He rushed to the fat man's office and roared.
"Fatty!"
"Are you crazy? Why sell Nico?"
"Do you think we have too many people on the back line?"
"Damn it, it's so damn!"
"You're a pig!"
Although Waller is usually gentle, he is also a vicious guy when he is so arrogant. He has many classic quotes that make people hate him and want to kill.
The most famous one is the grudge between him and Bierkhov. His humiliation of Bierkhov is very classic. Birkhov may have to be treated by Muller Wolfart (the team doctor of Bayern and the German national team). Always shooting with headers will cause pain to his body, which may have left behind sequelae.
Is he worthy of talking about football philosophy? His own football philosophy is still not a single word. No, he has his own football philosophy, but he can play Brazilian football with a pair of Maltese feet. It would be better not to talk about it.
Now, based on Kalmond's figure, Waller directly scolded him as a pig, which is very appropriate.
"Rudy,"
"I can't do anything about this,"
"He doesn't renew his contract and insists on leaving."
"Maybe, the salary given by the Hamburger is too high, so he believes that his choice is correct."
Kalmond also had a good temper. Waller scolded him like this. He was not angry, but instead explained with a smile.
"We still have time, we have more than ten days left. I will try my best to find a defender for you. But I think our lineup is actually very reasonable and there are enough staff. Don't you think that our midfielders can actually play as defenders?"
"ha?"
Waller immediately glared, "You let my midfielder play the defender?"
"Who will play midfielder?"
"A fat man, you can't get the grades!"
"Don't even think about it!"
"Okay, okay, that's all I said. I mean, it's really the worst time, you can change your mind. You'll have to go to Duisburg the day after tomorrow, play the game with peace of mind, and leave the rest to me."
"Rudy, you can do it!" Kalmond's right hand pressed heavily on Waller's shoulder, and his eyes became serious. "There is nothing we can't solve."
