Green Journey

Chapter 96 The Problem Shouldn't Be Big!

On March 3, the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, Saxony, eastern Germany.

The third round of the German Cup is about to start, with the Leipzig Red Bull playing against Wolfsburg at home.

Fans who have followed the Bundesliga for a long time may know this club, which is also one of the products of the Jinyuan football era.

Looking at the world of football, if you want to gain a foothold in the top league, the club must have strong financial resources to support it.

For example, the Wolfsburg club, the reason why they have such dazzling results this season is because they have the Volkswagen Group behind them.

Without the financial support of the Volkswagen Group, Dieter Heiking would not have been able to buy De Bruyne, Perisic, Gustavo, etc., and there would be no fans of countless other clubs in Germany. Envious grades.

The Leipzig Red Bull also has this condition, but the gold master behind them is not selling cars, but selling a certain functional drink.

After the team became one of the many clubs acquired by the Red Bull Group, they began a gorgeous journey of transformation.

In 2009, the Leipzig Red Bull was just an ordinary club in the fifth semi-professional league in Germany.

After receiving a steady stream of financial support, Leipzig jumped four times in six years and successfully entered the Bundesliga Professional League.

This year is also the first Bundesliga professional league in the history of the Leipzig Red Bull team.

At the beginning of the season, their momentum was very fierce, and they even led the Bundesliga Bundesliga clubs for a time.

It's a pity that during the winter break this year, they were targeted by the three major Bundesliga powerhouses Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen.

These three clubs started one after another, poaching many of their main players in succession.

Including Kimmich, a talented player who is still playing in the team and can play as a midfielder and full-back, he will go to Bayern next season.

Therefore, this led to a major blow to the Leipzig Red Bull's plan to rush to the Bundesliga this season.

But Chu Zheng knows how bullish this Leipzig bull is, and they will enter the Bundesliga next year as the second runner-up of the Bundesliga.

Then as a newly promoted player, he defeated Bayern, Dortmund, Leverkusen and other powerful players, and occupied the top position of the Bundesliga for a long time.

If it weren't for the lack of background and the decline in the second half of the Bundesliga, they would never be runner-up, and they would definitely be able to stage the myth of Kaiserslautern again.

Therefore, Chu Zheng let Niu Benben choose Leipzig Red Bull.

"Didn't you say you have a game today?"

At the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, Chu Zheng and Zhao Dudu appeared in the stands of the fans of the Leipzig Red Bull. The two came to see Niu Benben's career debut today.

"Originally I was the starter, but the result of the Europa League draw came out the day before yesterday, and then I was unlucky!" Chu Zheng looked depressed when he mentioned this.

A few days ago, the results of the one-eighth draw for the Europa League came out.

Wolfsburg was very unfortunate. They drew the only giant team in the top 16, Inter Milan, one of the Serie A Milan duo.

This is a formidable enemy.

Therefore, Dieter Heijin, who was disrupted by the result of the lottery, directly kicked Chu Zheng out of the 18-man roster, and asked him to buy more time to rest, so as to cope with the upcoming fierce battle.

What else can Chu Zheng do? Although he really wants to compete, he also knows the truth that one cannot eat alone.

Every season is actually a table of delicious food for professional players.

The Europa League and the Bundesliga are the two most delicious dishes on Wolfsburg's table this year.

The main players like Chu Zheng have already eaten the most delicious food, so there must be some left for other players, otherwise they will be black-footed.

In addition, people like Dost, Gustavo, Jilavoji and others are also sitting on the bench.

At 4 o'clock in Berlin time, under the cheers of 3000 fans at the Red Bull Arena, the game officially kicked off.

After the game started, Chu Zheng focused on the Leipzig Red Bull.

Under Chu Zheng's continuous observation, he found that the Leipzig Red Bull team played very openly, not conservative at all.

The players are also young players with plenty of energy.

In terms of defense, the Leipzig Red Bull is also very active and fierce. Although the players are young, they handle the ball very cleanly without any muddling.

As for Wolfsburg, Dieter Heiking can be said to have changed the team from head to toe today.

Bendtner started, and Hundt, Schurrle, Maranda and other players with more physical fitness were also played in the midfield.

Knoch and Naldo partnered in the backcourt today.

Goalkeeper Glenn also topped off Benaglio.

Although many players were rotated, the game was played vigorously.

Chu Zheng only watched it for less than ten minutes, and based on the situation of the game, he analyzed that it shouldn't be a big problem for them to win this game.

Soon Chu Zheng's prediction was confirmed.

In the 28th minute of the game, De Bruyne suddenly made a 45-degree cross from the ribs under the intensive defense of the Leipzig Red Bull.

Bendtner took off in the middle and hammered the ball directly to help Wolfsburg lead 1-0.

Then the Leipzig Red Bull launched a fierce counterattack.

But today Naldo and Knoch performed very well, and they cooperated with Rodriguez and Sebastian Rong, who started after the rotation, to kill the Leipzig Red Bull's offense time and time again.

As for Niu Benben, Chu Zheng also observed carefully.

So far in the competition, Chu Zheng's evaluation of him is quite satisfactory, which is in line with his perception of Niu Benben's strength.

But soon Chu Zheng was taken aback by Niu Benben's wonderful defense.

In the 38th minute of the game, De Bruyne moved from the ribs to the wing and received a cross from Hundt.

He saw that the position between Niu Benben and another central defender of the Leipzig Red Bull was a bit loose, and the distance was a little too wide, so he suddenly smashed the ball and sent a very concealed through ball with his left foot, thinking Look for Bendtner who advanced from the top of the arc.

However, what is amazing is that Niu Benben was already prepared.

This guy's long legs stretched directly to the passing line, not only stopped the ball, but also managed to keep the ball under his feet.

This successful interception made Chu Zheng's eyes light up.

Niu Benben's successful interception this time is not as easy and simple as it looks on the surface.

Chu Zheng could tell that Niu Benben deliberately left the gap for the Wolfsburg players. It was a trap.

And Chu Zheng knew that De Bruyne's through ball was very fast, and it was difficult for ordinary players to stop the ball even if they successfully intercepted it.

But Niu Benben did it with a good sense of the ball, and his interception of the ball also fully demonstrated his good little skills.

"Papa, papa, papa!" Seeing this scene, Chu Zheng applauded along with the Leipzig fans.

But soon he found that Zhao Dudu was sitting on a chair and playing with his mobile phone.

Chu Zheng looked down and saw that Zhao Dudu had taken off his high heels, so he smiled and sat down.

"Hey! Put it on!" Chu Zheng took out a pair of pink flip-flops from his backpack and handed them over with a smile.

Seeing the flip-flops with labels still hanging in front of him, Zhao Dudu was stunned, then took them with a smile and put them on, stood up, looked up at Chu Zheng, and said in surprise: "It fits pretty well, no Thinking of you as a big man, you are quite careful!"

She overslept at noon and almost missed the appointment with Chu Zheng, so she got up and put on a pair of shoes and went out.

Waiting for the train going straight to Leipzig only to find out that they are high heels.

I planned to buy a pair of shoes at the stadium mall to change, but I forgot. Zhao Dudu didn't expect Chu Zheng to be very careful.

Chu Zheng smiled at Zhao Dudu and didn't answer, then stood up and continued watching the game.

Zhao Dudu took a few glances at Chu Zheng's back, and soon focused on the game on the court.

In the 44th minute of the game, Niu Benben performed brilliantly again.

Rodriguez accurately found Bendtner in the back point in the bottom pass from the left.

As a result, at the critical moment, Niu Benben flashed out, and with his good jumping force, Bendtner, the former Premier League genius, cleared the ball.

In the second half, Niu Benben, who was playing better and better, fully devoted himself to the game and staged wonderful defenses several times.

No matter how big the opponent is, this guy will shovel and grab it when he goes up. If he can't get the shovel, he will directly knock him down. His defensive style is very fierce.

"It's the first time I've seen Niu Benben's wholehearted devotion!" Zhao Dudu looked at Niu Benben who was very active on the field and said with a smile, "Usually this kid is always laughing and cursing absurdly! "

"Football is our men's romance! You women don't understand." Chu Zheng replied with a smile, "That only shows that you don't know this kid very well."

"Don't look at him as a fool, but in fact, this kid is very stable in his work!"

"Maybe it has something to do with that incident!" Zhao Dudu said suddenly.

"You mean that he was jealous of others and almost killed him?" Chu Zheng asked.

"You know?" Zhao Dudu was surprised, "He even told you about this? It seems that he really regards you as a brother!"

"Hehe!" Chu Zheng smiled, "The four of us kowtowed before!"

"Although it is Jesus who is worshiping, I don't know if Master Guan, the old man, would mind!"

"Haha!" Zhao Dudu laughed so hard.
