Chapter 300 Meeting Seven Hundred and Twenty-Three Days Later!

The topic of Barcelona creating another miracle continues for a long time, but in addition, the media also began to pay attention to another team,

RB Leipzig!

This is the only remaining team in the Bundesliga.

It is hard to imagine that after Bayern Munich was eliminated, the Bundesliga's only team turned out to be a team that had only been founded for 11 years.

Yes, RB Leipzig was founded in 2009 and entered the Bundesliga in 2017. In eight years, it completed a quadruple jump in the league and jumped to the top level.

After being promoted to the top level, RB Leipzig still performed well, finishing second in the league, but failed to prove itself in the European arena, so it did not make its name known.

The following year was their first Champions League appearance.

This year, RB Leipzig was divided into Group G, along with Besiktas, Monaco, and Porto.

The young RB Leipzig scored two wins, one draw, three losses and 7 points in the group stage, ranking third in the group and missing the qualifying stage.

At that time, the average age of this RB Leipzig team was only 23 years old, making it a complete youth team.

Young people have always been the center of the conversation. If there are no accidents, even if they fail to advance, they can still leave a certain influence with their performance.

But they were unlucky, and 2017 was destined to belong to that 'North London Youth Storm' team.

Tottenham Hotspur, this is the craziest team in 2017.

Carrying the pride of the Premier League championship, they overcame all obstacles and met Real Madrid in the final.

In this battle of honor, they relied on their tenacious offensive attitude to fight Real Madrid for 120 minutes, and finally won the Champions League championship that year with Yi Le's key penalty kick in the penalty shootout.

Yes, this is a complete youth storm.

Compared with them, RB Leipzig pales in comparison.

Although RB Leipzig also performed very well, they failed to prove themselves after all.

In the 2017-2018 season, they ranked sixth in the league and missed the Champions League.

In the 2018-2019 season, they made a comeback and met Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League quarter-finals.

This is a Tottenham team whose core has left.

RB Leipzig felt that they had enough strength to win them, but in fact, even if the core Yile left, they still could not win this game and missed the Champions League quarterfinals.

In three years, their only progress was from the group stage to the knockout rounds.

After the game, the young players of RB Leipzig were not discouraged. This may be a characteristic of young people. They always maintain sufficient fighting spirit.

The time has come to 2019-2020.

This season’s Champions League is surprising.

In the Champions League semi-finals, the traditional giants have fallen into disgrace. Only Barcelona and Manchester City are ranked two, and in the top half are Lyon and RB Leipzig respectively.

Especially RB Leipzig? They stepped on Atletico Madrid and reached the Champions League semi-finals.

No one feels that their promotion is due to luck.

After all, facing a team like Atletico Madrid, luck is too small a factor. In fact, after four years of experience in the Champions League, this team is ready to make sharp changes at any time.

And this year? They showed the most gorgeous gesture to the world.

Of course, RB Leipzig's road to winning the championship is still long.

They need to win against Lyon in the top half to reach the Champions League final.

Even in the final, they have to face Barcelona or Manchester City? These two giants.

...

The topic of RB Leipzig is inspiring enough? But due to the intensity of the game, people still pay more attention to the lower half.

Barcelona VS Manchester City.

These two teams have so much history.

First, Guardiola faces his old boss, while Messi faces his mentor.

Second: The showdown between the two super midfielders in football.

Guardiola single-handedly created the Dream Three Dynasty. Is he the perfect head coach in the hearts of Barcelona fans? If he had not left, he might have been in charge of Barcelona.

And under his guidance? What kind of future Barcelona will move towards is also unknown.

In this regard? The media interviewed Guardiola.

During the interview, Guardiola said: "Barcelona's resilience has always been there, especially that crazy game, which I still remember vividly. Yi's performance made me feel very scared. Although Messi's performance was also outstanding, Manchester City The main restriction target is Yi, this is an undoubted fact!"

"In the midfield, we have enough confidence. They have Yi and we have De Bruyne. Believe me, this is a wonderful midfield duel."

"'Transphobia'?" Guardiola waved his hand and said with a smile: "That was a long time ago. Now De Bruyne is even stronger. He has the support of the whole team. In this case, he has Qualifications to compete with Yi Le!"

De Bruyne’s ‘transphobia’ has always been a hot topic in the media.

Although this topic gradually disappeared as Yile left the Premier League, it burst out with vitality again at this time.

All fans who witnessed Tottenham's miracle season know that that year, Yile penetrated all the Premier League midfielders.

Even someone as strong as De Bruyne was unilaterally suppressed by Yi Le, and even developed 'transphobia' for a time, which became a hot topic among the media and fans.

Several years have passed, and now, when these two best midfielders in football meet again, what kind of sparks will burst out is worth looking forward to.

Faced with this topic, the media once again approached De Bruyne non-stop.

De Bruyne showed no resistance to this interview.

De Bruyne: "There was a lot of pressure on me when I first came to the Premier League. I don't deny that Yi's performance made me feel crushed. I also felt very sorry for him to leave the Premier League. After all, I haven't proven anything yet. He But we have already entered other leagues. Over the years, I have been looking forward to the battle between us."

The reporter asked: "The two of them haven't faced each other for several seasons, right?"

De Bruyne nodded and said: "To be precise, it is 723 days. Since we belong to different leagues, the only chance for us to meet is the European war. And every time in the European war, we always fail to meet."

The reporter asked: "So, this is a reunion that lasted 723 days?"

De Bruyne smiled and said: "It should be a battle. In fact, Yi and I have never had a real duel. Every time, I can't overcome the fear in my heart, but this time, I will go all out. This time Not only is it the Champions League semi-finals, it’s also a stage for me to prove myself.”

After a pause, De Bruyne continued: "After this game, no matter what the result is, I want to invite him to dinner and exchange contact information. In fact, the connection between us is due to media hype. But I don’t have any friendship, but I really hope to make this friend, his efforts will always inspire me, and we can make progress together.”

De Bruyne solemnly said the last words to the camera.
