Football irons are burning

Chapter 134 Ronaldo
The game continues.

Kaiserslautern, who led by two goals, returned to a familiar rhythm and began to play defensive counterattacks.

The ability of the players to read the game is quite strong. At this time, they can also save energy appropriately.

Under this rhythm, the Schalke 04 team was at a loss. Although they controlled the ball, they did not attack effectively.

Time flies by quickly, and the half-time game passed quickly.

Just before the end of halftime, Li Tie cut off the ball at Wilmots' feet, and then made a long pass. Ruud van Nistelrooy succeeded in turning offside.

The counterattack routine is also very smooth, and the current Kaiserslautern is very healthy!

And this goal almost sealed the victory.

Back in the locker room, Magath didn't even arrange tactics. Now that the team is running so smoothly, why should he intervene?Isn't it easier to be such a head coach?

In the second half of the game, the opponent really didn't have any recovery skills, and after a short attack, he disarmed and surrendered early.

In the end, the game ended with Kaiserslautern winning. In these two rounds, the two not weak opponents fell at the feet of Kaiserslautern.

In the post-match press conference, Magath was very satisfied with the team's performance. He thought that as a coach, he didn't need to say anything. The team's ability to execute tactics is very good. The team's goal this season is to win the double or even the triple crown.

Stevens also lost this time convinced, thinking that the two teams are not in the same class.

"There is no doubt that Kaiserslautern is superior to other teams, and even Bayern is willing to bow down. Our goal is the UEFA Cup. We hope that the team can quickly get out of the shadow of defeat and don't take this game too seriously. Li Tie is more mature. Everyone should be aware of his role in the midfield, but can Kaiserslautern keep Li Tie?"

Stevens finally came to sow discord, but what he said was true. Kaiserslautern might not be able to keep Li Tie. How many superstars can the Bundesliga team keep?
Magath was also noncommittal about this, and there was nothing to refute.

This is the tragedy of the Bundesliga teams. With good stars, they are easily poached by rich clubs.

"Perhaps, the team will play more games without Li Tie in the future." Magath thought to himself.

In the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, Kaiserslautern tied Benfica 0:0 in the away game. The group stage remained unbeaten with 5 wins and 1 tie, and successfully qualified from Group F.

Li Tie was suspended, Magath continued to use Deco as the midfielder, and Deco performed well.

Magath also seems to have found a replacement for Li Tie.

The matches of other groups in the UEFA Champions League have also ended one after another. The most eye-catching death group, Barcelona and Manchester United drew 3:3, which has become a game that everyone talks about.

Although Barcelona advanced by two goals, Manchester United soon tied.

Before the end of the game, Zhang Xiaorui rode through the barrier alone, sent the ball into the empty goal after passing four defensive players of the opponent, and the game overtook the score again.

But before the Barcelona fans finished celebrating, Manchester United equalized again. Giggs made a cross from the left and Yang Cheng volleyed into the goal, fixing the final score at 3:3!

In the ranking of the death group, Bayern jumped to the top of the list after defeating Brondby, and Manchester United ranked second in the group with 10 points.

And Barcelona was eliminated miserably, which made them have to cast a sad atmosphere in the 100th anniversary celebration.

This season's Champions League final is held at Camp Nou. If Barcelona can enter the final, then the 100th anniversary celebration will undoubtedly shine brightly.

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. Barcelona was finally eliminated from the group and left the opportunity to others.

After the other group matches, the quarterfinals will follow.

Kaiserslautern, Bayern Munich, Olympiacos, Inter Milan, Juventus, and Dynamo Kiev won six groups, while Manchester United and Real Madrid were the two No.2 with the best results. These eight teams entered the final eight.

Some are happy and some are sad. Among the eliminated teams, there is no shortage of Premier League champions Arsenal. Therefore, the Champions League is a tournament that is prone to upsets, similar to the World Cup.

On December 12, the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals was held in Switzerland.

At the same time, FIFA will also present the World Footballer of the Year award.

This year is the year of the World Cup, so this ceremony is quite grand.

It is estimated that many people will participate in these two ceremonies, so this year they actually got together. Under normal circumstances, UEFA and FIFA are incompatible. It is impossible to put UEFA's UEFA Champions League quarter-finals draw in a scene like World Footballer.

But there are exceptions to everything, and this time is the exception.

Li Tie also participated, and he was also nominated as the World Footballer, but he also knew that there must not be many votes.

The main shocking force should come from this season's Bundesliga. He led Kaiserslautern to consecutive victories, which is enough to win the eyes of coaches from all over the world. However, in the World Cup, the Chinese team stopped in the top eight, which deducted a lot of points. The World Footballer of the World Cup year will basically be produced among the champions and runners-up of the World Cup.

At the entrance of the venue, Li Tie ran into Ronaldo. Ronaldo hugged Li Tie very warmly, and Li Tie responded to him.

"Li, I'm so glad we met for the first time. Next season, we will definitely sweep Serie A." Ronaldo whispered mysteriously.

Li Tie was taken aback, thinking to himself that Moratti had given Ronaldo a chance, this kid won't show it to the outside world, right?
After all, I am still in Kaiserslautern. Once my transfer next season is known, it will be more or less affected.

Therefore, Li Tie also said in a low voice: "Ronnie, don't spread this matter to the outside world, you know what I know. By the way, take care of your wounds, let's do a big job next year."

"Hey, I understand. I didn't even tell my girlfriend about it. This season is a bit difficult. I got injured and the team ranked sixth. Li, maybe you will play in the UEFA Cup next season."

Ronaldo laughed.

Li Tie thought to himself that this is not a good thing. He is used to playing in the Champions League, so it is not okay for him to play in the UEFA Cup.

It seems that I have to study Inter Milan and find a way to add some capable players to Inter Milan during the winter break.

The expansion of the Champions League next season is a foregone conclusion. Maybe the third in Serie A will also be able to participate. In this case, Inter Milan still has hope.

"There's still half a season left, so it's too early to talk. Ronnie, you have a great chance of being elected today, how are you doing? Are you ready to give an award speech?" Li Tie asked with a smile.

Ronaldo said in a low mood: "Impossible, I only won the World Cup runner-up, and I am not the top scorer. It is impossible to give me this honor."

In the World Cup, the Brazilian team finally lost to the French team and finished second, and Ronaldo's performance in the final was very bad, so Ronaldo thought he was not him.

Li Tie also heard some World Cup rumors. There are many speculations about Ronaldo's slump in the final. One kind of thinking is that Ronaldo ran into his girlfriend Suzanne having an affair with others and caused emotional loss.

Li Tie secretly wanted to ask Ronaldo?

The fire of gossip still ignited, but then he thought, this is Ronaldo's sad thing, so it's better not to rub salt on the wound.

Li Tie patted Ronaldo on the shoulder and said, "Calm down, if you give it to you, take it. It's okay if you don't. Let's fight for it next year."
