Chapter 520 Four fingers

From the 23rd round to the full four rounds of competition before the start of the Champions League, the entire league became a duo of Leiden Oriental and Chelsea.

In the 24th round, Chelsea beat Portsmouth three-to-zero at home, and Leiden Oriental beat Blackburn 2-0 away.

In the 25th round, Chelsea beat Blackburn 1-0 away, and Leiden Oriental defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at home.

In the 26th round, Chelsea's winning streak was finally frozen in the eighth game. They were tied by Manchester City 0-0 at home, while Leiden Oriental made a thrill of 3-0 away and narrowed the gap between them and Chelsea to two points!!

During this period, Leiden Oriental focused all its attention in the league. Except for not being eliminated in the FA Cup that had just begun, Leiden Oriental, who sent all substitutes in the two league cup semi-finals, was eliminated by Liverpool by one to two. Liverpool's performance in the league this season is very average, but his performance in the cup is pretty good.

In the 27th round, the last round of the league before the start of the Champions League knockout round, Leiden Oriental suffered from stubborn resistance at home. Perhaps because of the reason why Leiden Oriental was distracted by the Champions League, Middlesbrough resisted quite strongly. Leiden Oriental only relied on Ronaldo to make a goal that laid the victory after the end of the game with ten minutes left before he relied on Ronaldo to make a goal that laid the victory - but Ronaldo also paid the price for this breakthrough - during the physical examination after the game, Ronaldo was found to have a strained ligament in his right knee, which was his old injury, so he would take a break for two months.

In other words, in the next Champions League knockout round, Leiden Oriental cannot count on Ronaldo - by the time he returns from injury, the Champions League has reached the semi-finals - if Leiden Oriental can enter the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Chelsea continued their desperate victory, relying on Goodjohansen's second half goal, they beat Everton with a slight away goal, continuing to suppress Leiden East's two points.

After a national team game, Leiden East welcomed its opponent in the Champions League quarterfinals.

In the draw ceremony at the end of last year, Leiden Oriental once again had a good chance of revenge. Their opponent in the Champions League quarterfinals was Leverkusen. Leverkusen created a miracle in the 2001-02 season, and then they performed extremely badly in the following season and almost relegated in the Bundesliga. Last season, they began to recover and won the third place in the league and returned to the European arena. In the same group as Real Madrid, Roma and Dynamo Kiev, they performed well, defeating Real Madrid three-to-zero home, and defeating Roma three-to-one away, and averaged away games with their opponents. If they hadn't performed poorly in Dynamo Kiev, they could even beat Real Madrid to become the first in the group.

Barack and Lucio have become a past trend. Leverkusen now relies more on young rookies like Voronin and Berbatov, and loyal veterans like Novotney and Ramilao also performed well, which allowed Leverkusen, who are not favored to qualify from the Death Group.

All four Premier League teams have entered the semi-finals of the Champions League, among which Chelsea are not very lucky. They met Barcelona, ​​which performed well this season. Arsenal and Manchester United have also had bad luck. Arsenal's opponent is a Bundesliga team like Leiden Oriental, but they met the Bundesliga overlord Bayern, while Manchester United met the Serie A giant AC Milan...

Of course, Real Madrid and Juventus, who also have to fight for life and death, have a hard time. Inter Milan is as lucky as Leiden Oriental. They met Porto, which is not as good as before, while Eindhoven vs Monaco, Werder Bremen vs. Lyon, began to show UEFA's new ideas - at least one or two teams outside the four major leagues should be kept into the quarterfinals of the Champions League or even further away.

"Pratini, the birdman, seems to have started to move now." Looking at the lottery list, Xiao Ming thought in his heart. More than two years later, Platini relied on vigorously to win over countries and clubs outside the three major leagues to support him, and defeated the highly prestigious Johnson as the chairman of UEFA in the election. It seems that Platini, who is now the UEFA executive committee, has already started his own actions.

Xiao Ming naturally did not welcome Platini's appointment. Although his approach to restricting the quota of the four major leagues and increasing the quota of teams in small and medium-sized countries is very popular among weak football countries, as long as he is a fan, there is no dissatisfaction. Fans watch the game to see the competition between the giants and the famous names fight to the death on the court. Who would like to see the contest between the Cyprus League champion and the Israeli League champion? I guess no one except their own country's fans want to see it?

The biggest source of attractiveness of European competitions is those giant clubs, which is beyond doubt. However, in order to defeat the highest prestige in UEFA, Platini has always led UEFA and FIFA to confront Johnson, who has been leading UEFA and FIFA, adopted the approach of attracting support from small countries, which has indeed caused great damage to the interests of many giants.

Maybe I should think of a way to prevent this guy from succeeding.

Xiao Ming thought to himself that Platini was a great star when playing football, but after entering politics, he became a dirty politician. What's more, if his approach succeeds, it will hurt Xiao Ming's vital interests - Leiden East is now a wealthy family, and if it hurts the interests of the wealthy family, Leiden East will inevitably be hurt.

But now is not the time. The old man Johnson is actually quite amiable. He may also help Johnson. No matter whether he does this, he will offend Platini. Anyway, after he comes to power, he will definitely harm the interests of the wealthy families, and Leiden East will not be able to escape.

On February 24, Leiden Oriental challenged Leverkusen away.

For Leverkusen's head coach Ogental, defeating Leiden East at home is their only chance. Leiden East has always been one of the most famous devil's home courts in Europe. Although they have lost at home, they have lost very few times and have maintained a complete victory at home this season. Although Leverkusen played well in the Champions League this year, they failed to win in three away games in the group stage, including a two-to-four defeat to Dynamo Kiev.

Ogental sent a strong lineup in this game. The goalkeeper was penalty goalkeeper Butt, veteran Schneider served as the right back, the left back was Placente, the center back was teamed by captain Novotney and Brazilian Juan, midfielders Ramilao, Babic, Bierovka and Krzinovik, and the forward line was teamed by Bulgarian center Berbatov and Brazilian striker Franza, a typical one-high and one-fast combination.

Xiao Ming sent out a 451 or 433 lineup. Ronaldo was unable to play, so Pirlo was able to partner with Gerald and Marklele in the midfield. The two wings were Ronaldo, and the forward of the breakthrough was Fanny.

On the way to Bayer Arena, Leverkusen fans kept stretching out four fingers after seeing the bus from Leiden East, and they kept shouting something. There are no Germans in Leiden East team now, and other players can't understand what they are shouting. Only a few players who participated in the away game against Leverkusen three years ago vaguely guessed what those Leverkusen fans were shouting.

Xiao Ming showed a smile on his face, and Gerald's face looked gloomy, as if water was about to drip. Daniel had no expression on his face, but his eyes seemed to be on fire.

Ice and fire are two different kinds of heaven. Xiao Ming thought in his heart.

It was not until Xiao Ming went to the locker room that he coughed.

"I think many of you are still wondering why the Leverkusen fans I met on the road stretched out four fingers to our bus, but I think many of you know why." Xiao Ming sat down casually, then pointed at Daniel: "Daniel, you said."

"Three years ago, we lost four goals on this court." Daniel said with a simple expressionless expression.

Then, the players who had only transferred in the past few years immediately reacted.

"That's it on the court. Leverkusen did play very well three years ago, and played four of us at home... But what's next? They won three runner-ups that season. Although we didn't enter the semi-finals of the Champions League, we won the FA Cup and the league double championship. Who can say that we failed that season? On the contrary, the whole world knows that Leverkusen was extremely bad that season... Sorry, Lucio, I didn't laugh at you players. That season you were just bad luck and had too much appetite... If you could give up a certain game as soon as possible, maybe you could win the first top league championship in club history."

Lucio shook his head with a wry smile, and then said that he didn't mind.

In fact, when he saw Leverkusen's fans make this move on the bus, he understood what Leverkusen's fans mean, and at the same time, he also knew that in this way, I am afraid that Leverkusen will have difficulties at home...

"On the football field, there is no unbeaten team, nor a team that can win forever. Even if we beat an opponent, we don't need to laugh at this opponent - of course, besides the mortal enemy - we have actually forgotten that game three years ago. Although that game was the first time we were eliminated in the Champions League, it was just an ordinary defeat. Leverkusen performed better than us, so they won, and there was nothing to say, but if their supporters thought they were qualified to laugh at us like this after winning one game, they would be wrong! Leverkusen is not worth mentioning at all! Even if they beat Real Madrid in the group stage, the group stage and the knockout stage are completely different worlds! We are members of the four consecutive Premier League championships and are the most powerful ball in Europe

One team! The team that made us humiliated last season, and this season has been humiliated by us again! No team can humiliate us all the time, and Leverkusen can't do it either! It's great to be able to meet them in the first round of the Champions League knockout round! So we can beat them hard and let them know that don't think that if you beat us one game, you can beat us forever! Let's use our performance on the court to tell them that that time was just a sleep! Today, although it's away, we don't need to leave any face for them at all! Score a few goals if you can score, don't stop the goal! Get one, draw them once, two, draw them twice! Give me four! Five! Use loud slaps to wake them up, not all teams can be arrogant in front of Leiden East!"

Daniel slammed the table violently, then waved his fists and roared: "Go and suck them!"

"Slap them four times!" Gerald slapped the table and shouted loudly.

Ashley Cole, Marklele, Van Nie, Ronaldo... The players who participated in that game three years ago rushed out of the locker room like a group of lions. Next were other players who were infected by their emotions. Lucio walked at the end and nodded to Xiao Ming with a wry smile: "Boss, now it seems that my old club is in trouble."

"There's no way, who lets them stand on my opposite side." Xiao Ming pointed at Lucio with a smile: "Lucio, don't be weak."

"Boss, I'm a professional player." Lucio said unhappily, then turned around and ran out of the locker room.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming turned around and saw the table that had been knocked down by Daniel and Gerald's punches. He shook his head in dissatisfaction: "What are these two guys doing to destroy other people's locker room? I have to pay this bill..."

MacDonald, who was about to go out, staggered and almost twisted his feet when he heard this.

Leverkusen fans put out large slogans in the stands at Bayer Arena, some targeting Leiden Oriental: "This time, you will bring four holes home!" Some targeting Lucio, who left Leverkusen to Leiden Oriental: "Lucio, tell you, your choice is wrong!" "I went to the UK, but you still don't have the Champions League!"

"Tsk, it's a fanatical atmosphere." Xiao Ming and Ogenthal shook hands, but said something that seemed to have nothing to do with the game: "I don't know if the security work in Bayer Arena is doing well... If more than 20,000 people riots due to being too disappointed, it would be a very troublesome thing..."

Ogental's face changed, but Xiao Ming had already let go of his hand and turned toward the visiting team coach's seat.

"Damn Chinese..." Ogenthal cursed in a low voice, and then returned to his position - Xiao Ming's words just now were very meaningful - if Leverkusen was beaten up by Leiden East at home, then maybe these fanatical Leverkusen fans would do something bad...

Leverkusen's players soon noticed something was wrong after the kickoff. Leiden East has always started to block the game from the midfield. This is not surprising, but in today's game, Leiden East's midfielders' players seemed to be extremely active in running...

Run and block, Premier League team Leiden Oriental seems to play harder than Bundesliga team Leverkusen. Even Pirlo, who usually seems to be running, was blocking back and forth in the midfield, which made Ogenthal feel very strange. With such a way of playing, isn't Leiden Oriental afraid of physical fitness problems in the second half?

However, he had no chance of surprise. After running unremittingly in the midfield, Leiden East quickly stopped Leverkusen's attack. Daniel stole the ball under Bierovka and immediately knocked the ball across to Pirlo.

Looking up, he saw that Ronaldo on the right had already started to start. Pirlo did not hesitate and immediately raised his foot and passed the ball to the frontcourt!

Placente looked up and judged the ball passing behind him. He immediately turned around and ran back, but a figure wearing the Leiden Oriental Blue away jersey who was a little taller than him had already run towards the landing point of the ball like a gust of wind!

Ronaldo rushed past Placente quickly, then immediately raised his leg after running to the ball landing point, removed the ball, then adjusted the direction of his progress, and began to quickly break through to Leverkusen's penalty area!

"Roar! Cristiano!" Xiao Ming shouted with his arms waving on the sidelines.

Although the direction he faced was near the bottom line at the beginning, Ronaldo had slowly adjusted his direction during the running. When he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he had already shot at the angle!

Seeing Butter's figure getting bigger and bigger in front of him, Ronaldo did not hesitate anymore. He raised his right foot while running and shot suddenly!

Butt responded in time, and made a side save and saved the ball from the bottom line!

Seeing Butter save his shot, Ronaldo jumped up twice in a row, then looked regretful.

"It's okay, continue to attack!" Xiao Ming shouted loudly from the sidelines, then turned around and waved his hand at Leiden East in the half, signaling the players to press forward boldly.

Your home court? You have to play at your home court! See if your fans still have the four fingers to stretch out their faces, and look at the banner that wants Leiden East to go home with four holes, so I feel embarrassed to hang it in the stands!

After going to the UK, Lucio still has no Champions League? Let's take a look! Let's see if Lucio has a Champions League after he arrived in the UK!

To infuriate a team like Leiden East? This is the biggest mistake you have made!
