Chapter 271 The Devil's Schedule ([-])
After winning Schalke 04 in the away game in the league, Borussia Mönchengladbach took another big step forward thinking about the league championship. Now there are 8 rounds left in the league. Borussia Mönchengladbach leads Bayern by 14 points, which is a huge advantage.

Unless Borussia Mönchengladbach self-destructs the Great Wall, otherwise this season's league championship will not fly away.

Not only the fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach think so, even the opponents think so. The media overwhelmingly believes that the league championship has lost its suspense.

The pressure of the league is gone, Borussia Mönchengladbach is now focusing on the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek.

If they win this game and get 9 points in three games, they will have a clear lead in this group. Coupled with the continuous home games in the future, they will have a good chance of qualifying for this group.

Before the game, Hilton called.

"Nick, we beat Arsenal and won the League Cup!"

Hilton said very excitedly.

Nottingham Forest beat Arsenal 6-5 on penalties at Wembley Stadium to win the League Cup.

"Oh, congratulations, then give bonuses to the players, don't be stingy, so that the team will be more motivated to fight."

Nick is also very happy, which means that Nottingham Forest can participate in the UEFA Cup in the 01-02 season.

Nick is busy with Borussia Mönchengladbach for a short period of time and has no time to pay attention to Nottingham Forest.

其实诺丁汉森林还在英甲联赛中高歌猛进，38轮联赛30胜7平1负拿到了97个联赛积分，在英甲联赛还剩8轮的情况下已经领先了No.3布莱克本23分，下一轮只要在客场战平沃特福德，就能提前7轮重返英超联赛。

Next season, Nottingham Forest will really generate income for Nick, and both the Premier League and European competitions can bring a lot of income.

At 18:30 on Wednesday night, the match between Monchengladbach and Paris Saint-Germain officially started.

Both Micoud and Ronaldinho start the game, and Karl is bound to win the game.

When the players on both sides shook hands, Nick specifically expressed his respect to Okocha.

"Jay Jay, great to meet you, you are the most skilled player I have ever seen."

"Thank you, Nick, you are also the best big man I have ever seen, I wonder how you do those moves?" Okocha is also very friendly, obviously watching Nick's game video carefully.

"Haha, that's just to imitate the movements of you masters during training. I don't know how to do it, but it seems to work well." Of course Nick would not tell him that he was a time traveler, and that he had such good skills in his previous life.

Nick's admiration for Okocha comes not only from language, but also from reality.

"Jay Jay, I think if you want to play in the Premier League, you can consider Nottingham Forest. Next season, they will participate in the Premier League and UEFA Cup. You can rest assured that your weekly salary will be the highest in the team."

Nick directly invited Okocha to play at Nottingham Forest. If there was Okocha, Nottingham Forest would probably directly enter the ranks of the top Premier League teams.

"Nottingham Forest? Is that the team that has won the European Champions Cup twice? Then you can think about it. Why, do you have a stake in it?" Okocha is also a good person, and he understands it as soon as he hears it.

"Haha, my friend's team, my friend. Now this team has no offensive core, I think you can get to know them, it should be in line with your playing philosophy."

Nick did not deny that although Nottingham Forest has future superstars such as Ribery and Robben, they are still very young. If a mature star like Okocha helps them, it should be of great help to them.

Nick then shook hands with Anelka, a troubled teenager. Leaving aside Anelka's off-court affairs, he is still a very good shooter on the court.

After the official start of the game, Borussia Mönchengladbach took advantage of the advantage of the home field to quickly control the situation on the field. Perhaps Nottingham Forest's victory in the League Cup brought good luck to Nick. Less than 4 minutes after the start of the match against Paris Saint-Germain, Nick scored with a header from a corner kick, opening the door to victory for Borussia Mönchengladbach.

"GOOOOOAL! Nick's header is too rare. We are used to Nick's violent shots and wonderful arcs. We rarely see him score with a header. Now the score is 1:0. Borussia Mönchengladbach is always reassuring. It's hard to imagine that this is their first season back in the Champions League. They are the most eye-catching team in the Champions League this season."

Riedel paid homage to Borussia Mönchengladbach with his signature commentary.

Nick is also very happy to score so early. Physical advantage is also one of the contents of football games. Now the game is obviously beneficial to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The game was still controlled by Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Probably seeing Okocha's performance, Ronaldinho was unwilling to be lonely, and he wanted to compare skills with Okocha.

In this way, the fans at the scene were feasting their eyes. The skills of both of them are so excellent, not only fancy, but also very threatening.

In the 8th minute, Okocha showed off his skills in front of Nick. Before Nick could react, Okocha shook his feet and rushed out. This is his typical sudden speed change breakthrough, and Nick was also passed by him.

Fortunately, Nick's reaction was fast enough and his speed was fast enough. He quickly turned around and caught up with Okocha. Seeing this, Okocha passed the ball.

Afterwards, Ronaldinho also began to perform. After Borussia Mönchengladbach passed the ball a few times, Micoud passed the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho was on the crotch and passed the Paris Saint-Germain defender Deu. Then, when another central defender Pochettino rushed to intercept, the ball went directly to the unguarded Huntelaar.

Naturally, Huntelaar would not miss the opportunity, he made it overnight and rewritten the score to 2:0.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Goal in again! The goal is the Dutch teenager Klaas Jan Huntelaar! This young player who joined the team during the winter break has already scored two goals in the Champions League. He has the potential to be an excellent shooter. And only 10 minutes into the game, Borussia Mönchengladbach has already led by two goals. The difference in strength between the two sides can be seen. It is only a matter of time before Borussia Mönchengladbach wins the game."

Riedel is very optimistic about Huntelaar. In fact, he doesn't need to be optimistic. Huntelaar will also develop into an excellent shooter, and the experience in Borussia Mönchengladbach will allow him to learn more.

After leading by two goals, Borussia Mönchengladbach still insisted on attacking. Paris Saint-Germain can only feel that they are unlucky today. Borussia Mönchengladbach's offensive efficiency is too high, and they cannot seize the opportunity.

Although Okocha was in the middle of the field, he was still unable to convert the offensive into a goal. Anelka has wasted many opportunities.

The football game ebbed and flowed, Paris Saint-Germain failed to seize the opportunity, and their morale was hit, which made the Borussia Mönchengladbach players look confident.

In the 39th minute, Ronaldinho broke through again. He played Paris Saint-Germain's entire defense alone, and then rewritten the score to 3:0 with a kick. The suspense was lost early in the game.

This kind of game made the visiting team completely lose interest. Although Okocha was still working hard, other teammates couldn't fully devote themselves.

The ensuing games were boring, and Borussia Mönchengladbach was also happy to save their energy. Anyway, with 3 points, it doesn't matter whether you play or not.

Both sides scored a goal in the second half, and the final score was 4:1. Borussia Mönchengladbach scored all 3 points at home, and directly scored 9 points in a wave of three consecutive victories.

In another game in the same group, Barcelona drew 2:2 with Juventus in an away game, and the snipe and clam fought for the fisherman's benefit. This gave Borussia Mönchengladbach a 5-point lead in the group, and the group qualifying is just around the corner.

This devil's schedule is finally coming to a perfect end.

There is no doubt that Borussia Mönchengladbach did a good job in this devil's schedule. Except for a draw, they won all other games. Next, it is time to pursue the victory.
