Michael Ballack had his second best game of the season, the first being a midweek Champions League win away to Maribo, where he contributed two goals, and the second, today, with two assists. Just when everyone thought he would lose his form because of that shameful incident, he actually played an impressive game in the game.

At least in Zheng Zhi's opinion.

This is a different Michael Barak.

Therefore, after the game, Worrall also brought him to the press conference, giving the general who has suffered for the past few days a chance to vent in front of the media.

Worrall couldn't hide his excitement and said directly at the press conference:

"I have to admit that this fight has allowed me to discover the best Ballack, and difficulties make people grow."

"I'm now sure that Michael is already the best midfielder in Germany, he showed Germanic tenacity when he was going through the biggest difficulties of his life, and I hope the media will stop hyping up his private life and take a good look at his performances on the pitch, next year is the European Championship, he deserves a place in the German national team in midfield."

"This is the best player in Germany."

The German media is not as harsh as the British media, Ballack's performance is indeed impossible to hide, and then "Bild" named him the best midfielder of the week, although Zheng Zhi also scored 1 point, but it was still Ballack who stole the limelight, and "Bild" even suggested - can Worrall consider making Ballack the core of Bayer Leverkusen's midfield? He has already shown his decisive role in two games, after all, Ballack is not just Bayer Leverkusen's Ballack, he is also Germany's Ballack. Worrall should think well for Germany and develop the best midfielder for Germany.

"Bild" has a different point of view, although affirming Ballack's contribution, but believes that Ballack's excellence is based on Zheng Zhi, they say - whether Ballack is really enough to become the core, he must be able to lead the team to success in Zheng Zhi's absence, not to mention that it is only two games now, and there are many, many tests to meet him.

Obviously, the German media could not hide their excitement, but they were also cautious and did not want to be ambitious. Many celebrities have also come out to review Barak.

Breitner, who is at the National Sporting Desk, said: "Michael has really grown, I watched the game, he wasn't like that before, if you can shoot, he doesn't choose to pass, and that shows in the national team, but this afternoon's game was really different. But I would say that Ballack is not the only one who will take on Germany's future, I think Deisler's performance is even more impressive, he is full of creativity and his performance on the right side is simply unbeatable. Also, I think we should give more opportunities to Schneider in Frankfurt, who has been doing really well this season, and although Eintracht Frankfurt has not had a good result, he has given it his all. ”

Bayern Munich Barroughs also praised Ballack: "There is no doubt that they have put us under a lot of pressure, Zheng is the first to bear the brunt, Michael is not far behind, I have seen them grow and be strong, we do see a very terrible team rising, when external objects cannot interfere with their performance, it shows that they are really strong, we have to face such opponents." ”

"Michael's strong rise shows that Bayer Leverkusen is not just Zheng Zhi's team, they will become even more terrifying. Bayern and Kaiserslautern are struggling to catch up, but they don't show a hint of burnout. This year is destined to be a brilliant year for Bayer Leverkusen. Even Hertha Berlin coach Jürgen Roberto, the coach of the upcoming rivals, thinks so.

This week, Ballack's popularity suppressed Zheng Zhi, a Champions Cup, a league, and a farce, he was the absolute protagonist.

Normally, Zheng Zhi is the most dazzling player, but this week is not the same. Even the domestic news media are not very adaptable.

Sina.com - Zheng Zhi is no longer the core of Leverkusen? Pipe dream.

Although Barak and Zheng Zhi are teammates, from the standpoint of the Chinese people, they will definitely not recognize that Barak can replace Zheng Zhi, and they will definitely criticize this kind of news that 'threatens' Zheng Zhi's position. For this reason, they also took out the Chinese Olympic team for comparison - the Chinese Olympic team is an example, the National Olympic team with Zheng Zhi can defeat Spain and Argentina, and the National Olympic team without Zheng Zhi directly lost 0:5, don't you believe it? Bayer Leverkusen can try.

Sohu community - Germans will also float, how can Barak Hede replace Zheng Zhi? Just because he scored two goals and assisted twice? Forgot Zheng Zhi's gorgeous performances in the first two games? Besides, how bad was the start of this game? If Zheng Zhi didn't keep fighting fires in the backfield, I don't know if Leverkusen could launch a Jedi counterattack later! How important was Zheng Zhi's first equalizer? Although it was Ballack who gave two assists in the back, there was no goal from Zheng Zhi? Hehe......

"Sports Weekly" - Barak is very good, this is undeniable, but to forcibly erase Zheng Zhi's credit, it is not right, without Zheng Zhi, there would be no Barak!

I didn't expect the reaction of the Chinese media to be so strong, and the German media just blew Barak, there is no problem? But they don't want to.

The same is true for Chinese fans, especially those studying in Germany, who have left messages on sports media websites:

"Zheng Zhi is the biggest contributor to Leverkusen, not Balak."

"Without Zheng Zhi, there would be no Barak."

"Zheng Zhi is the real heart of Bayer Leverkusen."

"Do you know the ball?"

"Just two games? Oh my God, think about the home game against Lazio, who is the slasher? Only when playing a strong team will Zheng Zhi's role be highlighted! ”

"Why did Milan and Juventus have an affair with Zheng Zhi, why not Ballack? Think about it. ”

"Why is Real Madrid rumored to buy Zheng Zhi? Think about it? ”

"Why did Manchester United play Zheng Zhi's idea? Think about it. ”

Although a lot of transfer news went unconfirmed, fans threw it out.

……

……

The German media was also surprised, they didn't expect the reaction of Chinese fans to be so strong, and the protector was anxious. Then Bild, following the example of Sport, launched a fan survey on its website – who is the real heart of Bayer Leverkusen?

30,000 Bayer Leverkusen fans poured into the website to vote.

The results are clear at a glance, Chinese fans are more careful, and as many as 66% choose Zheng Zhi, that is, only 34% of fans choose Ballack. Barak has not been able to shake Zheng Zhi's position for the time being, although his approval rating is not low.

At this time, Eintracht Frankfurt coach Schuster jumped out, and he said directly in an interview with "Kicker": Does this matter still need to be discussed? Michael is indeed very good, but if he is the core of Bayer Leverkusen and Zheng is just an assistant, then Bayer Leverkusen can give Zheng back and see what he can bring to the team. People are always so habitually forgetful, who was the reason why Eintracht Frankfurt were able to finish fourth in the league last year? If Worrall wants to start a war and plan to dominate the industry, he should know that without Zheng, there will be no Barak! Of course, if Michael's kid is smart enough, he should be low-key and study hard next to Zheng, and he can also become one of the top midfielders in the world. But he will always be a little bit worse than Zheng, because geniuses always have a little more than mortals, the ball is at his feet, Ballack may have two ways of passing, but Zheng may have ten, twenty ......

Zheng Zhi's teacher opened his mouth and openly stood on Zheng Zhi's side. In one German and one Chinese, he supported the Chinese. And thinks that Zheng Zhi is only a genius, but Barak is not. Two ways of passing and ten ways of passing also clearly distinguish the realm of the two.

Naturally, these discussions quickly reached the ears of Zheng Zhi and Barak, and they must have had ideas in their hearts. However, the two of them were not taboo, and they even took it out directly in the training ground to communicate.

It was Barak who took the initiative to talk.

"Oh my God, it's about to turn into an invisible war?" Barak held the newspaper in his hand and said calmly in front of Zheng Zhi, "Zheng, no matter what the media and fans think, I am very clear about myself. ”

"You may not know, but I've been comparing myself to you last year, and the first few games of the season too."

"But in the last game, I suddenly felt like I was stupid and couldn't see where I was. It wasn't until the last game that I recognized myself. ”

"So, I'm not going to be like the media and the fans think, in fact, what they said was right, without you, there would be no me, I've messed up a lot of games, and without you, I think it would have been pretty bad, I'm like a dumbfounder. For example, this incident is terrible, but the way you and I handled it is a world of difference, and when I think about it again, I feel even more naïve, so I am happy to learn by your side until I catch up with you. ”

Zheng Zhi's eyes froze, and he was once again convinced of what he thought in his heart, this is definitely a qualitative change Barak, a Barak who knows how to think and self-analyze himself, it is really terrifying.

But he still smiled, "Michael, you have indeed grown, everyone can see it, what you say is basically right, but there is one sentence that is wrong." Without me, there would be no you, this sentence is very wrong, Zheng Zhi is Zheng Zhi, and Barak is Barak. Our ideas should not be dictated by anyone. Only after the end of our careers can we see the best truth, and now, we just need to encourage each other, cheer together, and win honors. ”

"And there's nothing wrong with a team full of competition, because we will eventually become stronger because of good competition. We may not be in the same team for a long time in the future, but our friendship and the brilliance we have created will not be erased. ”

"Yes."

Zheng Zhi is Zheng Zhi, Barack is Barack, but we have a great friendship, and together we create a brilliant future that will not be erased. Barak said in his heart, he agreed with Zheng Zhi's statement.

……

……

At this time, far away at the Dynamo Kyiv club in Ukraine, the ace of the team, Sersi Rebrov, was also thinking about almost similar questions, but his mind was full of many questions.

Shevchenko is Shevchenko, Rybrov is Rybrov!

However, at this time, he was full of doubts, and he also questioned everything he had done.

In the first two years, he led the team to a big killing in Europe with Shevchenko, and from 1997 to 1999, the Dynamo Kiev team amazed the European continent with the image of a dark horse. The Barças will not forget how they were slaughtered 4-0 by the Ukrainian side on their home turf in the 97-98 season, and in 1999 Sheva almost succeeded in killing Bayern's dream of a final in the cold wind of Kiev.

He and Shevchenko shine both domestically and in Europe.

This summer, Shevchenko left to go to his favourite football club, AC Milan, and he chose to stay.

Originally, AC Milan wanted to pack their twin stars directly, but at the last moment, Rebrov turned down Milan's invitation and did not go to Milan with Shevchenko.

The reason is actually very simple, because he is reluctant to Dynamo Kiev, and after the legendary coach Lobanovsky is retained, he chooses to stay and be loyal, and wants to continue to bring hope to the city.

Because Lobanovsky said that he would definitely lead Dynamo Kyiv to the Champions League final, Shevchenko is gone, but he wants Rebrov to stay and continue to lead this team to lead the team to the first great dream.

However, the new season is coming.

Too bad the team has lost two straight games in the group stage of the Champions League, and the dream is instantly out of reach. If there is another defeat at the Bayer Arena this time, there will be only theoretical hope left.

Dreams and reality are sometimes too far apart. Especially when compared with Shevchenko, it is even more incredible.

AC Milan have had a terrible run in the league, but Shevchenko is now at the top of the scorer charts with 5 goals! In the Champions Cup, Shevchenko also overcame obstacles.

Shevchenko has now become the pride of the whole of Ukraine, and his Rebrov shine has long been overshadowed, although he is still the top scorer in the Ukrainian league, but what is the comparison?

He doubted,

Shaken.

"Sercy?"

"It's time to go."

The familiar voice of the old handsome sounded, the glorious handsome of the former Soviet Union and Ukraine.

"Hmm."

Sersi Rebrov nodded, not responding further. This time at the Bayer Arena, he lacked confidence in his own. Looking to pull teeth out at Bayer Leverkusen's home turf?

He misses Shevchenko, but is full of resistance to Shevchenko.

Maybe there is something that will never come back, when the path of two people has forked in the road.
