Chen Qing's first opponent after obtaining the new skills is Leverkusen.

Leverkusen is located between Dusseldorf, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia (Harmony), Germany, and Cologne, a large city under the jurisdiction of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is an ancient city in Germany. It has been more than 800 years since its establishment.

However, Leverkusen is not a big city, with an area of ​​only 80 square kilometers and a population of less than 200,000.

Like Wolfsburg, Leverkusen is also a well-known factory team in the Bundesliga.

The predecessor of Leverkusen Football Club was the gymnastics club of the famous German pharmaceutical company Bayer. It was founded in 1904. It was not until 1913 that the football team became independent and established Leverkusen 04 Football Club.

So Leverkusen also has a nickname called Pharmaceutical Factory.

Unlike Wolfsburg, Leverkusen's history is much more exciting.

The turn of the century from the 20th to the 21st century was the most glorious time in Leverkusen.

From the 1996-97 season to the 2002 season, Leverkusen won the runner-up in the Bundesliga four times and reached the Champions League final once.

In April of the 2001-02 season, fans of the pharmaceutical factory felt that the team could win the first triple crown in the new millennium.

The result was the Bundesliga, German Cup, Champions League, and Leverkusen defeated the third line.

Within 18 days, the Triple Crown's expectation turned into a bubble.

On May 15, 2002, at the Hampton Park Stadium in Scotland, Michael Barack passed by the Big Ear Cup and became a memory of a generation.

Time flies, things change.

Leverkusen is now different from the phenomenon-level team that shook the entire Europe six years ago.

Except for the team's old captain, Carsten LaMelo and the right midfielder Bainder Schneider, no one else has experienced that magnificent history.

Moreover, there are no two of these people on the roster of this game.

Lamelo has been playing for the team for 13 years. In fact, he planned to retire last season. However, Leverkusen's lineup is a little worried because the team will play in the League Cup this season. With the lobbying of the team's senior management, Lamelo renewed his contract with the team for another year as a firefighter.

Schneider's condition is not optimistic. In the last round of the league, Leverkusen played against Stuttgart at home, the 34-year-old veteran injured his cervical spine. Just two days ago, on April 25, Schneider underwent cervical spine surgery in Hannover. Even he himself was not sure whether he could play for the team next season.

Since ancient times, famous generals have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white hair on earth.

Leverkusen's head coach Michael Skibe was also a professional player in his early years and played for Schalke 04. However, his career was not going well. He only played 14 Bundesliga games and retired too early due to injury at the age of 22.

After retiring, Skibe stayed at Schalke 04 and became a youth training coach. There, he spent two years.

Afterwards, Skibe switched to Dortmund, from a youth training coach, to an assistant coach, to a first-team head coach who was forced to open business. Skibe, 33, was the youngest head coach in the Bundesliga at that time.

Perhaps the positions of youth coaches and assistant coaches are more suitable for Skibe. Although Skibe's performance in leading the team was not too bad, he was finally dismissed and accepted the invitation of then German head coach Rudy Woller and became the assistant coach of the national team.

To put it quietly, when Skibe left Dortmund, the team ranked fifth, and his successor, Austrian head coach Bainder Klaus, almost brought the Hornets to relegation, if Dortmund's management had not fired the Austrian in time.

After Rudy Woller resigned from the national team and became the football director of Leverkusen, Skibe received an invitation from Woller to become Leverkusen's head coach.

I have to say that Skibe's career is still very inspiring.

Perhaps related to his experience, Skibe is a head coach who likes to reuse young players.

Goalkeeper: René Adler

Defenders: Gonzalo Castro, Manuel Ridrich, Karim Haji, Vlatislav Grasco

Midfielder: Simon Rollfez, Arturo Vidal, Tranquillo Banetta, Paul Freir

Forwards: Stefan Kislin, Tiofanis Jekas

In this game, the average age of Leverkusen's main lineup is only 24 years old.

Wolfsburg's starting lineup is not much different from the previous game. After all, it has been 8 days since the German Cup final, and the players' physical fitness is completely fine. Apart from replacing Makoto Hasegawa with Gentner, Magath did not make any other adjustments to the lineup.

Leverkusen's home court, Bayer Athletic Stadium, is not big, with only 22,500 seats.

This is an absolute small court, and sometimes it cannot even meet the football watching requirements of Leverkusen team members.

Leverkusen has 26,500 members.

Such a small court is one of the main factors that restrict Leverkusen. The meager ticket revenue is not enough to keep big stars like Barack, Ze Roberto and Lucio.

Standing on the court, the not-so-intensive crowd reminded Chen Qing of the first game he participated in with the Wolfsburg Youth Team more than a month ago, and the audience in that game was about 20,000.

At that time, Chen Qing was still surprised that there would be so many people watching a third-level football match.

Unlike at that time, Chen Qing is no longer alone now.

Because of the exposure of his relationship with Chen Qing in the German Cup final, Imokin Clark's focus was adjusted by the agency and moved from the UK to Germany.

Although Leicester Model Management Company does not have an office in Germany, the company is obviously happy to see its models coming together with the popular Bundesliga.

Such exposure far exceeds the operating capabilities of the brokerage company itself.

16-year-old Clark has appeared in the Bird of Pictures as his new first love girlfriend in the Golden Boots of the German Cup. Bird of Pictures is one of the largest daily newspapers in Germany and Europe.

This is conducive to the expansion of Leicester's business in Germany.

The eye-catching economy is more active than ever before, driven by the powerful modern media society.

The two people who are in love are not opposed to this arrangement.

At this moment, Clark was watching his boyfriend's game in the visiting team stands on the court.

Marcelinho's wife Estella and his mother Elita, who were sitting next to Clark, are present in almost every game.

The captains of the two teams shook hands under the leadership of the referee and held a ceremony to guess the side.

Just like most of the time, Josue got the ball.

The Brazilian midfielder is a good coin guessing player in the bar. He relies on this trick to help countless girls. This skill is not abrupt at all when he is used on the court.

In the middle circle of the court, Dzeko put his waist on the ball, and waited for his teammates to take the place.

At six o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle while pinching his stopwatch.

At this moment, the sun is slowly set, dyeing the west sky red.
Chapter completed!
