(Correct, the previous chapter was not Yakai, it was Lemayer)

“We want a league title,”

Outside the Leverkusen training ground, fans played such banners. Leverkusen's desire for championships is no less than any European century-old giant club.

"Zheng, bring it back."

"Michael, bring it back."

The bus slowly drove out, Zheng Zhi and the others saw the banner and heard these sounds. Although they only came to the fifth round of the league, the fans could not wait and did not hide their ambitions and hopes.

Barack lay in front of the window and waved his hand, enjoying the atmosphere very much. Zheng Zhize looked at it quietly, and his heart was also very excited.

This club, which has a history of 96 years, has never won the league championship, and its best result is only second place.

Not to mention the league championship, it should be said that Leverkusen won the domestic champion in Germany.

All their honors can only be written in three lines.

UEFA Cup champion: 1 time (1988)

German Cup champion: 1 time (1993)

German Cup runner-up: 1 time (2002)

As the team that is second only to Bayern Munich now, they need the glory of the championship to be crowned.

Perhaps only today's opponents are worse than them, that is Hertha Berlin. Since the Bundesliga was founded in 1963, and Bayern won n championships in 36 years of Bundesliga history, many old clubs have joined the "none-year championship". The most famous of them is Hertha Berlin, which was founded in 1892, has a history of 107 years. In 1900, Hertha Berlin, as one of the founding members, witnessed the birth of the German Football Association.

But after entering the Bundesliga era, this capital team has never scored a championship. The team's best record in the Bundesliga era was the runner-up in 1975. It is worth mentioning that in the 1992/93 season, Hertha Berlin's second team Hertha Berlin entered the German Cup final (the German Cup allowed the German team's second team to participate). In the final, they lost to Leverkusen 0:1, and almost created a miracle, they also gave Leverkusen the only domestic championship trophy in the history of the team.

The two teams are brothers in trouble.

This season, Hertha Berlin has a terrible league record because of being a member of the Champions League. Now it ranks second to last in the league. It's so miserable. However, the Champions League results are OK, tied for the first place in the group with AC Milan. But the problem is, their bench is so thin that they can really withstand multi-line combat?

Leverkusen's bench thickness is not very good, but their players are awesome, Barack is awesome, Zheng Zhi is awesome, and the players in other positions are also awesome, so Leverkusen's performance on both fronts is now very good.

How can I say it? It’s because both teams are eager for results and don’t want to give up. It’s so painful that there is no awesome champion in a century of history.

This is not only the Bundesliga.

For a team, having a century of history is undoubtedly a proud thing. However, among the five major leagues, there are several teams. Although they have a century of history and are frequent visitors to the top leagues, they always miss the championship. Whether in the ancient times when major leagues were just established, the strong were competing for hegemony, or in the current situation of major leagues, the major leagues have been established. Whether in their own country or in Europe, they have never been able to win their own top league or European Cup championships.

For example, in the history of the English League for more than a hundred years, each team has been in a state where you and I will play. Many teams have left their own championship marks in the English League. In addition, due to its unique competition system, the FA Cup has always been a hotbed for small teams. Many teams (such as West Ham United and Southampton) have won their first championships with the FA Cup. After 1960, with the addition of the English League Cup, small teams have more opportunities to pursue their own glorious moments. For example, Middlesbrough, Swansea relied on the League Cup to get rid of their fate of no championship.

So, is there any time-honored brand in England that has not been crowned for a century? The answer is that one of the time-honored brands is Fulham. Fulham was founded in 1879 and has a history of 129 years, but for most of the time they have been fighting for relegation, and the championship has never come to the "farmers". The team once reached the Cup finals, and in the 1974/75 FA Cup, they finally lost to West Ham United 0:2.

Is it pitiful?

Another Premier League team that has not won the championship for nearly a century is Crystal Palace. With a 95-year history, they once won the third place in the old English League One in the 1990/91 season. In addition, they also reached the FA Cup final once. Apart from that, they had nothing.

Italy.

Compared with the complex English football, Italian football is much more pure. In Serie A history, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan have always been the Italian league champion contenders. Other teams can occasionally disrupt order or win championships in the Italian Cup. The most famous team without championships in Italian football history is Udinese. In their 103-year history, in the 1954/55 season, the team won the best Serie A second in history, and in the 1997/98 season, Udinese won the third in Serie A under the leadership of Zacheroni.

Apart from Udinese, Palermo, a 100-year-old team, has not won any championship. The team has reached the Italian Cup final twice, and apart from that, it has nothing.

Spain has been in La Liga for 70 years since the first league in 1929. However, only 7 league champions have been born in these 70 years. The strength of Real Madrid and Barcelona has made it extremely difficult for other La Liga teams to get into the championship, so the Copa del Rey has become a battlefield for many small teams to create history. Because La Liga was founded late, many teams have no history of a century.

In the current Spanish football world, the more famous champions are Atletico Santander, Malaga and Levante. However, this year La Coruña seems to have hope of rewriting the La Liga situation, and Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are all left behind by them.

In these European teams, unless the club suddenly joins a large consortium and then buys stars frantically, it is not easy to win the championship glory?

At this time, many Leverkusen fans drove their private cars and followed Leverkusen's bus and headed to Berlin together. They were the craziest fans of Leverkusen. Whenever Leverkusen went to the away game, they would definitely appear in the away stands, but today they actually formed a team and followed Leverkusen's bus.

"crazy!"

"It's so crazy. What are these guys trying to do? Are you going to go to war?"

Berlin fans were also shocking to see the vast Leverkusen team arrive outside the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

When they saw the banner in Leverkusen's hand, they were excited.

Others are so happy.

People have all put out the championship banner, but Hertha Berlin fans can't. It's so sad. Although Hertha Berlin has a good performance in the Champions League, it ranks second to the bottom in the league.

Can Hertha Berlin make a difference in the Champions League? They don’t believe that they only want the league championship, but Heness Jr.’s head was kicked by a donkey and actually fought on both sides!

What is he thinking?

Moreover, Heness and his brother completed a dirty task and actually gave Desler to Bayern Munich.

Although the exchange of Iranian Ali Deiy is also good, why should I give up Desler instead of both of them taking it?

Since you want to compete for the championship, you have the heart of a champion, but your operation is so stupid?

Especially as Deisler's performance at Bayern is getting better and better, Hertha Berlin fans are even more unwilling to accept it.

But the raw rice has been cooked, what can I do...

Now the only real star in Hertha Berlin is Pretz. But he is about to turn 30!

"Can we win today?"

"I don't know, but I feel hopeful. After all, we can draw the strong AC Milan away. What are we afraid of? I feel that the team is about to rebound."

The away draw with AC Milan in the Champions League did indeed bring confidence to fans.

In fact, in the locker room, Berlin Hertha coach Jurgen Robert also motivated the players so much.

"We can draw against five Champions League winners AC Milan, and we will naturally not be afraid of Leverkusen!"

"Look at their fans, they have all played the championship banner. It's really ironic. They think they are already the league champions, and all we have to do is give them a headache!"

“We can’t be their stepping stone.”

“It’s time to get back on the right track!”

"Our goal today is to score three points without reservation."

"They are so tired that almost everyone competes in the national team."

Yeah?

Ali Dai frowned slightly.

Because Zheng Zhi's name flashed in his mind, Zheng Zhi did not participate in the national team competition.

In the 0:7 game, Ali Dei also read the news, and Zheng Zhi never returned to the game. Leverkusen's most important player took a week off, which was the most troublesome thing.

Born, Alidei was full of vigilance against Zheng Zhi. Of course, he no longer compared himself to Zheng Zhi because the distance between him and Zheng Zhi was too far away and could not be compared with him. Although he could play the main force in Hertha Berlin, the key is to have self-knowledge. Now the peak of Asia is Zheng Zhi and Shunsuke Nakamura. He has nothing to do with him. But his younger brother Madawikia should have hope, he is rising rapidly.

In the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Jurgen Robert lined up all the main players without any reservation. Woller chose some rotations, the back line changed, Novotney started, Lamelo sat on the bench, and in the midfield, Ponte replaced Ze Roberto, and on the front line, captain Kirsten sat on the bench today, and Neuville and Burdaridge partnered with the front line.

Zheng Zhi and Barak are Iron Man and irreplaceable types, and they still appear in the starting lineup. Of course, if Emerson returns from injury, they may be rotated, after all, even Iron may not be able to withstand it.

The competition begins, and the style is similar.

Leverkusen once again set off an offensive storm, and Barack and Zheng Zhi took turns to attack! Aggressive!

This is Waller's latest adjustment. He no longer sticks to Zheng Zhi or Barack's position. The two people's position is mutually successful.

Just ten minutes into the game, the two men completed a shot, not counting Neuville's two kicks.

Fans have the heart to be a champion, and Barack and Zheng Zhi also have the ambition to win.

Leverkusen is not AC Milan, Leverkusen is even more terrifying. This is what the players of Hertha Berlin strongly felt after ten minutes of the game. The Italian team's offense is even worse than Leverkusen!

They then held on for another 5 minutes, but still conceded the ball in 16 minutes.

Zheng Zhi left the left, and the Brazilian Ponte, who started the game, made a cross from the left. Barack, under the cover of his teammate Burdalic, pushed the ball into Hertha Berlin's goal.

In the last game, Zheng Zhi scored two goals, and in this game it was Balac's turn to pull the onion in the dry land, rewriting the score to 1:0.

"Michael!"

"Michael scored the fourth goal in the league, he is as good as a striker!"

"No one can stop him."

"Herta Berlin seems to be staying at the second-last position in the league."

Bretner is not optimistic about Hertha Berlin at all.

After falling behind with one goal, Hertha Berlin tried to counterattack, and captain Pretz led the team to charge, but Novotney was in good condition after his comeback and did not give Pretz an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Unable to control the game situation, then was sneak attacked by Leverkusen. In the 22nd minute, Zheng Zhi made a straight pass from the middle, Neuville easily reversed offside and then swept the ball in front of the goal. Beinrich followed up and pushed the ball, rewriting the score to 2:0.

It seems that the overall situation has been decided, and Leverkusen is almost insulated from the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

At the end of the first half, Hertha Berlin didn't shoot a single shot.

The terrible Leverkusen! The offense and defense are quite awesome.

On the Berlin Olympic Stadium, it seemed that it was full of devastation. After the change of sides, Waller made another adjustment. Barak got a chance to rest. Libu, who had been out of the battle for a long time, came up and Zheng Zhi rushed forward.

As a result, Zheng Zhi finally got an assist, and his light pass allowed Neuville to score directly against the goalkeeper.

With three balls in hand, Leverkusen finally stopped the battle, and Hertha Berlin's morale was completely gone.

"Why, we played so well against Milan, but we couldn't beat Leverkusen?"

"Oh, what's wrong with us?"
