Inter Milan won the league steadily, ensuring that they can prepare for next Tuesday's battle with peace of mind.

The opponent Leverkusen experienced a shock. Bayern Munich and Dortmund took the lead and won the victory one after another, giving Leverkusen considerable pressure. The opponent Hertha Berlin is not weak, but his away record is mediocre, but Leverkusen played for nearly 90 minutes but did not score a goal. Until the stoppage time, Schneider shot through the opponent's goal with a long shot, and Leverkusen finally scored 3 points.

Zheng Zhi watched the live broadcast of the game at home and was also worried about his former boss. He still remembered that Leverkusen in his previous life ended up going to the league championship because he fell to Hertha Berlin, and then lost the German Cup final and the Champions League final, becoming the unprecedented Sanya king.

Unexpectedly, I won this time, which means that Leverkusen may change his destiny again. History has long been different from his previous life.

Zheng Zhixin thought that if this is the case, then there will be many unexpected factors in the second leg semi-finals. Klopp's Leverkusen was not the Leverkusen team led by Top Mueller in his previous life, and these are completely two different teams. Leverkusen's morale can even be said to be higher than when he tied Inter Milan in the first leg.

Although Inter Milan beat Piacencha, the situation they appeared in the Champions League is actually not optimistic.

On Monday morning, Mourinho gathered the large force and headed towards Leverkusen. Zanetti was unable to go with the team due to the suspension of the second round (I wrote the wrong tongue last time, but the suspension of the second round). Recoba was unable to stay in Milan due to the fake passport incident and Stam had to stay in Milan due to the drug test incident.

What gave Mourinho the most headache was the position of the central defender. In the first round, both Cordoba and Carvalho suffered all the hardships of Berbatov. Neither of them could stop Berbatov from scoring. This time, he would definitely have a headache. In the league, he tried to let Grosso play the central defender because Grosso had a height advantage, but now he was still undecided and was not sure whether to let Grosso play a temporary guest appearance as a central defender.

Another position is the front line. Vieri has not been in good shape recently. He was wondering if Tony starts at home and forms a forward team with Ronaldo, but the effect of Tony's starting lineup may be worse than being a substitute surprise?

With these questions in mind, the team arrived at Leverkusen. There is still a day and night left for Mourinho...

Inter Milan chose to prepare for the training ground of a German C-level club, but did not arrange large amounts of exercise and the training was also open to the public. Many local fans appeared here, screaming Zheng Zhi's name.

Fans will not forget the greatest glory that Zheng Zhi brought to Leverkusen in history. Although the legend has left, his story has been circulated here.

It can be said that when Zheng Zhi returned here, it was as warm as returning home. After the training, he stayed alone to meet the autograph and photo requirements of each fan.

Perhaps in the eyes of fans, he has never been a match for Leverkusen, but has always been a legend of Leverkusen.

The reporters from "Kicker", "Boards" and "Frankfurter" also surrounded him to interview him. Zheng Zhi did not refuse and patiently answered every question.

"Zheng, what does it feel like to come back here?" The Frankfurt Report took the lead in raising the first question.

"It feels very quiet, unlike Milan City. It is not noisy or fashionable at all, but it is very suitable for life. I like my time in Germany. I originally wanted to walk around, but time does not allow it. I suddenly realized that although I have been in Leverkusen for a year, I have not gone shopping more than ten times? I am far from understanding this city, which is a great regret. I think I will come back here one day and have a good look."

"That means, you will transfer back one day?"

"No, I didn't say that. I mean after retirement, as for before retirement, I don't know where my next stop will be." Zheng Zhi waved his hand quickly and corrected the reporter's problem.

"Zheng, if you were asked to choose a place, Frankfurt, Leverkusen and Milan, which place would you choose?" The reporter of Biography also asked a question.

"This is really hard to answer. Every city does not have the characteristics of each city, but if I were asked to choose, I would definitely choose our country's city, Chenyang, or... Guangzhou."

Guangzhou?

Yan Qiang's eyes lit up in the Sports Weekly, and it was strange. Why did Zheng Zhi mention Guangzhou? He hasn't lived in Guangzhou for a long time? Chen Yang is understandable. After all, it is his hometown, but Guangzhou, are you sure it's not just a casual talk?

"Will you celebrate if you score a goal in the game?"

"Haha, if I can score, I can't celebrate."

"Worrying that the fans are booing you at home?"

Zheng Zhi was silent for a few seconds, "If everyone wants this, this is their right."

"Did you think about where you are next stop?"

"No, I only consider the game tomorrow night. Okay, there is not much time left, I have to rush back to the hotel." Zheng Zhi took the initiative to terminate the interview.

...

※※※※

On Tuesday, the war was about to break out.

Almost the whole of Germany was spinning around the game.

Bretner, a commentator of German National Sports Television, predicted the prospects of the game, and he warned Leverkusen.

"I don't think the game is that simple. Leverkusen is now in a high morale, thinking they have one foot in the finals, but I must remind them that they have not touched anything now. Think about the result of Bayern Munich in the last two seasons, everything is tragic. Bayern Munich once had the advantage of leading two goals and could not beat them, but now Leverkusen is just taking advantage of the away goal difference. What is the reason to be so happy?"

"What's more, they should know the Chinese people best and know how powerful Chinese people are. Of course, this is also their biggest advantage. Maybe they can limit Zheng again?"

"Of course I'm not attacking Leverkusen. I just advise them to be cautious. On the contrary, I'm optimistic that Leverkusen can change all this and they have the ability to do it. Klopp's team is full of surprises and expectations. This is an excellent team that has reached the present with team spirit."

Of course, Klopp's team will not be proud. Klopp knows that they have won nothing now. He praised Inter Milan at the pre-match press conference:

"They are defending champions, experienced and experienced, and we are just challengers."

"Inter Milan is very likely to break our dream of reaching the finals of the Champions League. We know we have a bigger chance of winning, but Inter Milan has always been a team that can create surprises. We tied Inter Milan 2-2 at the Meazza Stadium last week was one of the best games the team has played this season, and we have to play the same level in this week's game to ensure we advance to the finals."

"Inter Milan is perhaps the best team in Europe. They have top stars like Zheng Zhi, Ronaldo, Vieri and Buffon. They will definitely try their best to defeat us, but we are ready and we are confident in the victory."

At the same time, Mourinho only focused on his own team at the press conference.

"Last week we were tied by Leverkusen at home and they scored 2 away goals, which put us in a less favorable position, but remember last year's Champions League semi-finals turning defeated Bayern Munich? This time we can do it."

"This year's Inter Milan team is stronger than last year. In Europe, our away results are no different from home. We will score a goal at Leverkusen, which is the decisive. Our road is difficult, which I imagined. But we are only one step away from the final, so we can definitely play a good show of turning the tables in Leverkusen."

Both sides announced the starting lineup early.

Leverkusen:

Goalkeeper: Butter

Defenders: Sebetzen, Hap, Novotney, Placentet

Midfielder: Beinrich, Basturk, Rib, Schneider, Lamelo

Forward: Berbatov

Inter Milan:

Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defenders: Panucci, Cordoba, Carvalho, Grosso

Midfielder: Dibiagio, Zheng Zhi, Dalma, Pirlo

Forward: Ronaldo, Tony

Obviously, Klopp's team tied Inter Milan 2:2 away in the first leg. Today they played at home and could calmly arrange a 451 formation to deal with Inter Milan.

Inter Milan is definitely not conservative. They must score away goals, either score at least a 2:2 draw, or they must win Leverkusen so that they can advance to the final.

The Italian Sky Sports Station was already on the verge of war. Bergomi appeared at the commentary scene. He was wearing a suit and tie, and he kept fiddling with the collar in front of the live broadcast camera. The former captain seemed to have become a member of Inter Milan and seemed to be rushing to the battlefield.

"There are three minutes left, and the game is about to begin."

"Players on both sides are walking in the Bayer Arena. Judging from the starting lineup of both sides, Klopp only chose one striker, the formation should be 451, but this must be a smoke bomb, the formation is dead, the players are alive, they are like hunters hiding in the dark, holding a hunting rifle and shooting Inter Milan's goal at any time."

"But Mourinho has no choice. His team must win. The fantasy draw appears? No! Abandon this idea and be braver. We will beat Leverkusen!"

The home fans at the scene dyed the stands a red ocean, with only a small piece of white surrounding the south stands.

"Bainder!"

"Bainder!"

"Bainder!"

Bainder Schneider's name resounded throughout the game, and he is now the core player of the Leverkusen team, and fans of course screamed his name.

In the past, the one they called Zheng Zhi the most, but today, no matter how many Leverkusen fans who like Zheng Zhi are, they will not call him again, because Zheng Zhi is now an opponent, and they must be a team fan, not a fan of the people!

More than 2,000 Inter Milan fans were unwilling to be lonely. When they heard the other party shouting Schneider, they also began to make noises.

"Zheng!"

"Zheng!"

"Zheng!"

Although the sound is small, it is very harsh.

The fans of Leverkusen were so dazed. Didn’t they shouted like that back then? Almost they shouted with Inter Milan fans.

...

Beep,

A loud whistle sounded, and the first game of the second leg of the 2001-2002 Champions League semi-finals started!

As soon as the game started, Inter Milan did not launch a tide of attack as everyone predicted, and Leverkusen could not take the initiative, so the two teams focused on stability after the game, and mostly spent the time tug of war in the midfield.

Although Inter Milan has not scored away goals for the time being, their goal is not just a draw, but a victory. As Mourinho said in the locker room, only by playing with the highest goal can there be better results.

After nearly ten minutes of testing each other, Inter Milan took the lead in attacking. Zheng Zhi's position moved forward, which was a very strong signal!

Leverkusen coach Klopp's eyes also froze randomly and immediately started shouting loudly from the sidelines.

"Attention Zheng!"

"Attention! Middle Road!"

It is no secret to targeting Zheng Zhi. Klopp doesn't even need to call a secret code. Even if he can keep Zheng Zhi in sight, he will be half successful.

Pirlo retreated slightly and echoed Zheng Zhi in the middle. The two men made continuous wall-to-wall cooperation, quickly touching Leverkusen's midfield. Rib blocked Pirlo alone, but Pirlo firmly handed the ball to Zheng Zhi's feet.

Schneider and Lamelo double-teamed Zheng Zhi almost at the same time, but Zheng Zhi still confidently controlled the ball under his feet. He first shot his back in the direction of Lamelo, and then pulled the ball back to spin!

Although neither Lamero nor Schneider lost his position, Zheng Zhi then made another move of fried croquettes and passed through the two of them lightly.

I know he might do this, but I just can't help it?

"Aowu~"
