Go back to the past and be the king

Chapter 219 Before the Game
Because of Lu Chen's red card suspension, in the league, they faced Bochum at home, and 1860 Munich was defeated by Bochum in the last minute at their own home court.

After seven league rounds, even though 1860 lost to Bochum at home in the last round, they still occupy the No.4 position in the standings.

This season, traditional giants such as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, as well as last season's Bundesliga champion Wolfsburg, seem to be out of shape. The top four are occupied by Leku Watson, Hamburg, Hoffenheim and Munich 1860.

However, the lead in the league does not bring 1860 more help in the cup.

The defeat in the Europa League in the last round cast a shadow over 1860's qualifying in the European competition.

And after Lu Chen returned to China to participate in the competition, he never practiced with the team at all, and Lu Chen flew in the sky for more than ten hours.Kurtz couldn't believe that Lu Chen could still maintain his best condition.

Although this game had a great impact on 1860's qualifying, Kurtz still didn't dare to risk Lu Chen's injury and let Lu Chen start. He just let him come on the bench with the team.

You know, Lu Chen's absence of only one or two games has such a big impact on 1860.If Lu Chen was injured and absent for ten days and half a month, Kurtz would not be worried to death.

"Actually, sir, my state doesn't affect the game at all." When Lu Chen returned to the club, he felt completely different from the national team, where he was the absolute core.

As long as it doesn't involve core issues, Lu Chen's request will be agreed.

However, Kurtz was very firm on this issue, "No! I said no!"

When Lu Chen wanted to say something, Kurtz said firmly, "If you stay here, you won't even have the chance to come on the bench!"

Lu Chen had no choice but to leave Kurtz's room, but before he left, he still said: "Sir, I really have no problem! It's better to return me to play soon..."

After Lu Chen made such a fuss, Kurtz's original resentment towards Lu Chen's return to China to participate in the irrelevant competition also dissipated a lot.

"This little guy is really energetic." Kurtz smiled and said nothing.

During this period, Athletic Bilbao did not invest a lot in the cup due to their unfavorable start, but they still sent most of their main players in this game at their home court.

But their coach Caparros said: "I don't know if Lu Chen will play in this game. Although I haven't seen him play a few times, I know he is the most threatening player in Munich 1860." , like Messi in Barcelona!"

He also did the intelligence gathering work in 1860, and he knew that Lu Chen had rushed back to participate in the national team's competition, and he had no time to participate in the Europa League competition.So he spoke with a lot of confidence.

You know, among the most popular young players in football, the most popular are Neymar, Pogba, Gotze, Coutinho and Lu Chen.

Neymar rose to fame at a young age, at the age of 13, was considered the next legend of the Santos team and was hailed as the new Pele.It is considered to be the person who is most likely to become the king of the ball and inherit Pele's mantle in the next era.

Perhaps because he is not in Europe, far away from the core area of ​​football, his international reputation is not as high as that of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen is known by the media as the most likely Asian player to win the Golden Globe Award.

Lu Chen didn't become famous when he was young. Although he would always perform well in the Tottenham youth training camp, because his position was never fixed, he didn't have much fame.

However, when he really stepped into the professional league, his performance surprised everyone.

This also made the top management of Tottenham secretly rejoice that Lu Chen was only rented out instead of sold, let alone whether Lu Chen's future growth trajectory will be as people think.

Even now, Lu Chen's net worth is enough for them to make a fortune.

When Caparros heard a reporter reminding him that Lu Chen had arrived here, his expression changed obviously.

However, he changed his mind, when Lu Chen traveled a long distance, even if he was forced to play, his strength would not be displayed much.After all, no matter how powerful Lu Chen is, he is still a human being, and he is still a young man.

Everyone is tired, and Lu Chen can't avoid it.

So he answered these reporters with a smile and said: "If I were the head coach of 1860, I would not let my players play after a long journey. But unfortunately I am not. I heard that their head coach's tactics are It depends on Lu Chen. If this is the case, I can only say sorry, you can no longer win this game."

What Caparros said was very irritating, so a German reporter jumped out directly, "No team can win a game with just one player, and the same is true for us in 1860. We won the German Cup last season. It is inseparable from the hard work of our whole team. This time, regardless of whether Lu Chen can play or not, we can win a victory!"

Caparros smiled, "I believe what you said, and there are many teams that can win at our home court. But, it won't be your team!"

"Then wait and see, sir!"

"Wait and see!"

Interviews and the like, that is, a way for the coaches and players of both sides to talk to each other, is also a way for the media to maintain sales.

But this is not very interesting, the game still depends on the players' feet to play.

Although many reporters wanted to interview Lu Chen, Lu Chen directly refused.

In this game, Lu Chen was not included in the starting list, but he was included in the 18-man squad.

Continuing the league lineup, in the Europa League match, Kurz still used the strongest lineup.

It's no wonder that some media once criticized Kurtz. They said that Kurtz is only suitable for leading the team to play in the cup, not the league.

Because Kurtz often catches a lineup and uses it to death, this is acceptable for cup games where there are not many games, but it is not enough for several front lines or league games.

The lineup of Athletic Bilbao has also been announced, and as expected, it is also the main force of most of them.

Mengorka Elysos;

Defensive line: Ettore Osio; Anthony Iraura; Amorebieta; Xavi Castillo;

Midfielders: Javi Martinez; Gavi Rondo; Gulpegui;

Forwards: Yeste; Llorente; Gaizca Toquero.

The difference in strength between the two sides is not too big, it just depends on how the two sides play.
