Football irons are burning

Chapter 118 Deco's Transformation

After staying in his hometown for a week, Li Tie returned to Germany.

Back at the club, Li Tie was a little dumbfounded.

On the international match day, the Kaiserslautern players suffered serious losses.

Van Nistelrooy injured his foot again and will be out for two to three and a half weeks.

Stankovic also strained his thigh and will be out for about three weeks.

Carvalho's head was broken and he needed 38 stitches. Two weeks' rest is the minimum. Ferreira sprained his ankle and had to rest for two weeks.

Drogba went back to Africa to participate in the warm-up match. He also injured his ankle and had to rest for two weeks. However, this guy didn't feel any sadness. He probably had a lot of emotions and didn't take the injury seriously.

Li Tie smiled wryly when he got the news. How could these people he found so easily be hurt so easily?

Is it another kind of karma?
I have a system, and my strength has multiplied many times, but the luck of my teammates is too bad, right?

The entire team is healthy, and there are only 15 people at present. If there is another injury, I am afraid that we will have to stop cooking. The 11-man lineup will not be able to be discharged by then.

Kaiserslautern host Wolfsburg in the 8th round of the league on the weekend.

The helpless Magath made another strange formation.

Tony and Di Natale continued to form the Italian risk combination, Shao Jiayi, Deco, Schneider and Li Tie formed the three midfielders, Zheng Zhi, Hart, A. Friedrich, and M. Friedrich formed the German defender combination, and the goalkeeper was Bout.

Deco was pushed to the position of the attacking midfielder.

However, this passive change really made Magath taste the sweetness very quickly.

In the 5th minute, Deco volleyed with the ball in the frontcourt, and the ball went into the net, 1:0!

Deco finally got out of the way.

In the position of the attacking midfielder, he played obviously very creatively.

This made Magath very excited. When he saw Deco scoring a goal, he jumped up by himself.

Afterwards, Deco disrupted Wolfsburg's defense in the frontcourt. His technique was very practical. He passed the ball when it was time to pass, and he was unambiguous when it was time to shoot.

In the 16th minute, Deco made a precise pass and gave Di Natale a chance to face the opponent's goalkeeper alone. Di Natale scored with a volley, 2:0!

In the 26th minute, it was still Deco who passed the ball to Tony. Although Tony's feet were a little messed up, he still got a chance to kick and shot, rewriting the score to 3:0!

Tony also opened the goal account.

But the key person is still Deco!

Deco had been used as a right midfielder before, but Magath's helpless move in this game had such a magical effect.

It seems that the future competition between Deco and Stankovic will give Magath a headache.

In the final game, Kaiserslautern defeated Wolfsburg 4:1 at home and continued to lead the standings.

At the press conference after the game, Magath also praised Deco, but this time he did not call on the Brazilian coach to recruit Deco.

He advertised to his disciples many times before, and although he has created a large number of international players, he is now also suffering from the FIFA virus, which makes his team passive.

But even if you don't say it, I am afraid that Deco's performance will be difficult to be buried. Who can not watch the leading players in the Bundesliga?
With Deco's performance, Li Tie didn't go up to assist much. He stuck to the defense and allowed Wolfsburg to only shoot 3 times!
Now Li Tie seems to be the Red Devils' pinnacle of stability. With him defending in the midfield, the teammates are particularly relaxed.Therefore, even if the defense in this game is a rookie defense, it still allows the opponent only 3 shots.

Kaiserslautern won, and Bayern also won. They defeated Schalke 1 team 3:04 away in a strong dialogue and continued to be entangled with Kaiserslautern.

You win and I win, and you tie and I tie. Bayern is really interesting.

Bayern's lineup is obviously much more complete than Kaiserslautern's lineup, and they don't have many injuries.

Although the score did not win as much as Kaiserslautern, they were even better than Kaiserslautern in terms of scene control.

In the next round, the two teams will have a direct dialogue. This is definitely a game where sparks hit the earth.

The media is already building momentum, and the next round of this contest is called the German National Derby.

The stability of the two teams in the league has made other teams feel desperate. This is indeed a German national derby.

In the past, there was no national derby in German football. Strictly speaking, Dortmund, Stuttgart, and Bayer Leverkusen could not compare with Bayern.

Since the merger of East and West German football, although Bayern has not monopolized the league championship, their strength and reputation are still second to none in Germany.

Stuttgart and Dortmund both used Bayern as the second child, but they all fell quickly. Now Stuttgart is still in the 13th league, and Dortmund is better and stays in the sixth position.

Leverkusen's rise is very slow, that is, in the past few years.

They were blocked again this round and were tied 2:2 by Frankfurt. Qu Hanqing scored two goals alone, which became a stumbling block on Leverkusen's way to win the championship.

Now they are 7 points behind the top of the list, and even 4 points behind Hertha Berlin, which is third, which obviously does not have the ability to compete with Bayern.

Although Kaiserslautern's rise is slow, but now their strength has surpassed other teams by too much. Therefore, only the dialogue between Kaiserslautern and Bayern can be called the German national derby.

This does not rule out that the media deliberately uses this to attract attention, but the strength of the two teams is indeed enough for the title of the German national derby.

Li Tie is quite willing to accept this view.

Italy has the national derby between Juventus and AC Milan, Spain has the national derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid, and England has the national derby between Manchester United and Arsenal, so Germany should also have it.

Now that the level has risen to the concept of national derby, there is no reason for anyone to lose in this game.

The disadvantage for Kaiserslautern is that this is an away game, and there is no doubt that the opponent will have a certain advantage.

But before that, the two teams have to complete a Champions League group match, Kaiserslautern away to PSV, Bayern and the Danish team Brondby away.

Kaiserslautern left Germany for the Netherlands after finishing against Wolfsburg.

Going to the Netherlands in advance, of course, is to familiarize yourself with the venue and adapt to the environment as soon as possible. This Champions League group match is also very important to Kaiserslautern. If you want to qualify for the group, it is the most stable to get the first place in the group, and the second place in the best group is a bit hanging.

Eindhoven is the fourth largest industrial city in the Netherlands, with a developed industrial economy and a high level of football.

Many fans may be familiar with Ajax, but in fact Eindhoven is also a giant team in the Eredivisie. Together with Ajax and Feyenoord, they are known as the top three in the Eredivisie. The Eredivisie champion basically rotates between them.

The alien Ronaldo and the lone wolf Romario all came from Eindhoven. They regarded Eindhoven as the first stop to land in Europe. Stars such as Gullit, Cocu, and Koeman also spent their careers here.

In the current group form, Eindhoven is 2 points behind Kaiserslautern, so this home game is very important to them. If they want to compete for the first place in the group, they must beat Kaiserslautern at home.

However, this season they have sent masters such as Cocu, Reziger, and Zenden to Barcelona, ​​and their own strength has also declined.
