Chapter 489 This time is different from the past! China Derby! (Ask for a monthly pass)(1/2)
Zheng Zhi sincerely wished Deisler the best player he won, and he also called Deisler.
Deisler was also very happy after receiving Zheng Zhi's call.
"Zheng, thank you,"
"Thank me? Why?" Zheng Zhi fainted. What did Desler thank me for? It was not what I gave it to him. It was something he had won by himself.
"Thank you for encouraging me last year."
"I have gained a new understanding of injuries. The reason why I am not injured now is entirely due to you. I exercise a lot every day now, in order not to hurt myself and maintain a healthy body."
Deisler explained the reason.
"That's it," Zheng Zhi on the other end of the phone smiled, "You can treat me to a meal."
"It's a must. When my winter break arrives, I'll see you and Michael."
"I hope you will be in the mood at that time, and we will still be at the top of the list by then."
"Don't worry, we will just hold on to the points. We still have a game next year, and the competition for the league championship is far from over. However, you should pay attention to the Champions League. Our starting point is better than you, and you may not be able to qualify from that group."
"Okay, if you win Bayern, you will be crazy, right? There are still five rounds of group stage. Don't forget that you didn't lose in the first stage in the first stage, and you almost got eliminated later. Everything has just begun. The league is the same, please encourage each other!"
"Okay, you're right. No matter what, Bayern Munich can't fall behind first, but I'm looking forward to you going wrong first."
...

His eyes returned to the Bundesliga.
On Friday afternoon, Yan Qiang ran to the city of Munich and interviewed another Chinese player, Shao Jiayi. This weekend is the Chinese derby, and he has to write a lot of things. Chinese fans have put too much attention on Zheng Zhi, but ignored Shao Jiayi.
In fact, Shao Jiayi performed well in the Munich 1860 team, but he was incomparable to Zheng Zhi.
"It's really interesting to be able to play against Zheng Zhi in the Bundesliga. I remember we have never been an opponent," Shao Jiayi said after training on Friday, "Let me think about it. Zheng Zhi joined Leverkusen in the summer of 1998. I joined 1860 at the beginning of this year, but when I came, the game had already been finished, so we had never played against each other. I almost became teammates in the National Youth Team, but I still missed it. In China, we had no chance to meet. I heard that Guoan quoted a price for Liaoning last year, but Zheng Zhi was already abroad at that time."
Regarding the derby that is about to start, Shao Jiayi has no more time to sigh and nostalgia. For him, whether he can perform well in this game depends on whether he can continue to perform well in a new position. All signs indicate that his position in the Munich 1860 lineup is about to change. According to the team's training situation in the past two days, if nothing unexpected happens, Shao Jiayi will play as a midfielder in the game to be a Bayer Arena on Saturday.
Shao Jiayi moved to the middle, which had been like this as early as the last league and the German Cup. At that time, the 1860 coach of Munich made adjustments to Shao Jiayi in the league.
In this game, Shao Jiayi scored a goal himself and created a penalty for his teammates, but they were all completed by switching to behind the front arrow in the second half.
Perhaps because he tasted the sweetness, when the German Cup in the middle of the week, Shao Jiayi was directly arranged by the head coach to become a midfielder in the lineup. As a result, the team easily won the victory, and Shao Jiayi contributed another assist.
"The position is always changing..." Shao Jiayi was a little at a loss. "I prefer to play on the left, but the head coach seems to want me to play on the middle."
"Is the middle lane not good? The responsibility of the front midfielder is more important."
Yan Qiang smiled and said, "Just like Zheng Zhi."
Shao Jiayi also smiled, but he smiled bitterly, "I don't think so much because I want to be like Zheng Zhi."
"Why? Because I'm afraid of comparison?"
Shao Jia nodded a little.
"But Zheng Zhi rarely plays for the front midfielder. He usually plays for the back midfielder. Actually, I think we really lack a front midfielder. You played well in these two games. We can't just expect Qi Hong. If Qi Hong can't play, someone will always take over."
Yan Qiang looked at the problem from the perspective of the national team and believed that it was a good thing for Shao Jia to play the front midfielder.
"The pressure is high, and I will be compared every day. Zheng Zhi can not only assist but also score goals. His data is too eye-catching, so he will naturally feel pressure on himself."
"Sometimes I think that if Zheng Zhi plays a striker, he can score a lot of goals."
"Ah, what you said is really possible. What would he look like if he played a forward? I'm really curious. I think it's good to be a shadow striker. He has scored a lot of goals recently. Even the striker has not been able to play a hat trick at Old Trafford, but he did it. How many world-class strikers are so angry that you're so angry?"
"Uh, yes, so I think Qi Hong dared to replace him in Frankfurt. It was really brave. This was a double-edged sword. If it was good, it was better, and if it was bad, it was worse."
"Then don't you have to continue to get ahead of the middle?"
"In tomorrow's game, you will often form confrontations in the game and perform well. People across the country are looking forward to you to complete a wonderful Chinese derby in the game. Front midfielder vs. Back midfielder, this is what everyone expects. You don't need to escape."
"I can only say that I did my best to perform well."
From Shao Jiayi's words, it is still obvious that he has no confidence. Zheng Zhi's influence is too great. The more he pays attention to it in China, the more he feels pressured.
When he returned to Leverkusen, Yan Qiang sent a manuscript back to China, with the title being very awesome "The Most Fierce Bundesliga Chinese Derby in History".
The partner website Sina.com also reprinted this article.
Netizens were also very interested after reading the content.
"Yo, Zheng Zhi vs Shao Jiayi,"
"This is a very interesting point."
"Shao Jiayi should be able to play the front midfielder. Then he will face Zheng Zhi, who plays the back midfielder."
"He ranks fourth in 1860, and is 7 away from Leverkusen. He has the strength to fight Leverkusen, and maybe he will do Bayern a big favor."
"Although I don't like Shao Jiayi, I think if Jiayi can beat Zheng Zhi, then Shao Jiayi will become popular. Then we have a good front midfielder and a good back midfielder, hehe."
"You think too much, just look at Qi Hong's situation. How difficult is Qi Hong's Frankfurt now? He can beat Zheng Zhi by one-third of his level, and he has only one Zheng Zhi in China. Similarly, we should not have too high expectations for Shao Jiayi. We must keep a normal mind. It is already thankful that there is another Shao Jiayi? I dare not think about it, so, a normal mind, a normal mind..."
"Gayi is different from Qi Hong. Jiayi played well in 1860. Qi Hong couldn't play it himself, so it's still worth looking forward to!"
...
...
It can be seen that they have great expectations for the ordinary Bundesliga match between Leverkusen and Munich 1860.
But Zheng Zhi, one of the parties involved, didn't think so. On Saturday morning, Zheng Zhi watched Saturday's game very easily. He said: "What Chinese derby is it? It's all made by your media."
If it was his previous life, he still felt a little fresh and expectant, but now Zheng Zhi is in a very calm mood. When talking about the Chinese derby, Zheng Zhi smiled and said, "In Germany, there is no such thing as a Chinese derby. I don't know what Gen One thinks, and do you value this very much. For me, this is a very ordinary game, and I won't have any special preparations for this game. To be honest, I don't have any special feelings for such a game. If I really want me to say what the Chinese derby makes me feel, then I can only make it up. Besides, the game has not been played yet, and I don't know if the two of us will play together in the final game."
"At least from my own sense, the Germans have never cared about the two Chinese players' matches in the league."
Zheng Zhi said that he has been paying attention to Shao Jiayi's performance in the game recently. He said: "Germany is not like in China, but he has watched less Bundesliga games on TV. I have not officially watched Shao Jiayi's entire game in Munich 1860, but I have watched Shao Jiayi's performance in the highlights after each round of the Bundesliga, including his goals and assists. Jiayi played well in 1860, and it is really not easy to adapt to the Bundesliga in such a short period of time."
To throw away the Chinese derby factor, because the two teams are in the championship group, the match between Leverkusen and Munich 1860 is also very important. Zheng Zhi said: "In fact, if it were not for this special period, whether it was the match between Munich 1860 and Freiburg, there would be no difference. If you win, you will get three points. But now everyone is competing for the championship, so the situation may be different. It is precisely because of this special time that this match will attract special attention."
"Munich 1860 has a good momentum in the two rounds, but our team also won two consecutive games. In terms of mentality, we should have an advantage over our opponents. I think our team is better in terms of strength. After all, the game is ultimately about strength, not to mention that we are still at home in this game, and our advantage will be greater. In terms of results, I am more optimistic that our team will win in this game."
In fact, Zheng Zhi is still a German media and a German who underestimated him. "Photo Biography" said that the two Chinese may determine the direction of the game. Whether it is Zheng Zhi or Shao Jiayi, they have excellent form this week. The bigger highlight is that if both of them can play, they will directly confront each other on the court, which depends on how the head coaches of both sides will arrange their troops.
According to the current idea of the 1860 coach of Munich, he also wants to build Shao Jiayi into the core of the team, but compared to Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi is a purer offensive player, and his role in defense is almost zero. However, from the side, it can be seen that the role played by Chinese players in the Bundesliga is becoming more and more important.
At noon, Bayer Arena welcomed many Chinese fans, including fans wearing red and black shirts No. 10, and fans wearing blue and white shirts No. 8, that is, some support Zheng Zhi and some support Shao Jiayi.
These fans walked together and did not divide into two camps. Instead, they had a very happy chat together.
"I support Add One this time, and I hope Add One can perform well."
"What a joke? You should support Zheng Zhicai. Zheng Zhi wants to win the championship. Even if he works harder, he will never win the league championship with 1860, so he should support Zheng Zhi!"
"It's better to do this. Add a goal or assist, and Leverkusen won the game in the end? Anyway, I can't win the league championship in 1860, so it's okay to lose. Just keep the top four."
"This is OK."
Well, one was born by his biological mother and the other was raised by his stepmother. In the end, everyone reached an agreement to support Zheng Zhi to win and support Jia Yi to perform well.
At the afternoon press conference, Munich 1860 coach Lorrant also retreated Shao Jiayi to the forefront, and he even compared Shao Jiayi to Zheng Zhi.
"For me, Shao Jiayi is Zheng Zhi from 1860. At least on the offensive end, he has the same outstanding role."
"I'm very glad that I have another Chinese. He has helped the team very much. Of course, his role is not as important as Zheng Zhi, but I believe he will take Zheng Zhi as an example and will also play an excellent season."
"The showdown between the two of them will be very interesting today, and I'm looking forward to it."
Shao Jiayi sat next to him and blushed. He was embarrassed to compete with Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi is now hailed as world-class. He is now just an ordinary player who firmly holds the main position of 1860. How embarrassed are these words to be heard by Chinese fans.
"The head coach is so awkward, I'm embarrassed."
"Zheng Zhi is the banner of our country's football and a role model for us to learn from. There is a big gap between me and him. I am just Shao Jiayi..."
Humility, you have to be humble, otherwise even Zheng Zhi, who will be laughed out loud, would not be able to be regarded as a 1860-year-old.
Zheng Zhi heard it clearly outside the press conference, and also felt that Shao Jiayi was too low-key. It is not a good thing to be too low-key. If Shao Jiayi does not have the ability and does not have his own advantages, can he play the main player in this team? Definitely not, this is a team ranked fourth in the Bundesliga, but not all Acats and Dogs can become the main player.
When he and Woller appeared at the press conference, Zheng Zhi also took the initiative to talk about Shao Jiayi.
He said: "Gayi has his own advantages. I am not the same type of player, and he is better than me in some aspects. For example, his straight pass is more penetrating than me, his physical confrontation is better than me, and his running speed is faster than me."
"Our position and responsibilities on the court are different, and the tasks we have to complete are also different. However, one thing I agree with is that Zheng Zhi is Zheng Zhi, and Shao Jiayi is Shao Jiayi. There is no need to compare him with me, and there is no need to put too much pressure on him. I believe he can endorse himself."
These words were also broadcasted in China through ccbv5. ccbv5 broadcast the game an hour in advance, and Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Lu hosted the program on the spot.
"Zheng Zhi is right. Zheng Zhi is Zheng Zhi, plus one is plus one. We not only have Zheng Zhi, but also Shao Jiayi, Li Weifeng, Yang Chen, and Li Yin, for example, Yang Chen, and now we have finally gotten out of underestimation and got rid of our dependence on Zheng Zhi. Although his goal rate cannot be compared with last season, his goal rate for every two games is also good. We cannot ask him to have a higher goal rate in a team like Frankfurt, right?"
After Zheng Zhi left, everyone's expectations for Yang Chen were not that high. Everyone also realized Yang Chen's true strength. He is not a world-class player. He is just an Asian-level striker. Yang Chen's data is as long as he is not inferior to Iranian striker Ali Dai.
Similarly, Shao Jiayi is also. Shao Jiayi's data and performance do not need to be compared with Zheng Zhi. He only needs to produce Asian-level data. The one who compares with Zheng Zhi should not be Shao Jiayi, but at least it should be at the level of Nakata Hidesho. Perhaps, it is still a little lower...
"I'm getting a data now,"
"It is said that 350 million fans are paying attention to this game! It's so crazy."
Huang Jianxiang suddenly changed his mind and touched the TV broadcast of the game.
"Hehe, it's really crazy."
"But every household has a TV, so it's normal for so many people to watch it?"
