Chapter 75 Near the Battle of Waterloo

(one)

"Patton, for the city of Brussels, if you were asked to name three scenic spots with representative surnames, which three would you name?" Heidi asked.

Chen Zhuo said without hesitation: "The first place, for me, would be the ancient battlefield of Waterloo..."

The ancient battlefield of Waterloo is located in the small town of Waterloo, 18 kilometers south of Brussels. It was here in 1815 that the great hero Napoleon was besieged by the Prussian army and the Anglo-Dutch Allied Forces, ending his history in Europe.

In 1826, people used the guns and cannon abandoned by Napoleon's army on the Waterloo battlefield to build an iron lion, which was 4.5 meters long, 4.45 meters high and weighed (tons), guarding this ancient battlefield in the ups and downs.

"I used to think that one of the benefits of being a football player is that you can go to many cities when the visiting team is playing, and you can experience the city's sights and scenery... It's a pity, haha, recently I feel that this seems to be a luxury wish, like this

Once, we came to Brussels two days in advance to adapt to the venue and training. After the game in the evening, we will go to Leverkusen tomorrow..."

Chen Zhuo's content was unscripted, but it was very true. The director did not shout to stop, but also whispered through the ear pulse to remind Heidi to pay attention to follow his train of thought and not to interrupt him.

Heidi wouldn't interrupt him. She didn't feel that this was a recording of a program, it felt like two people chatting. In Heidi's opinion, the director's reminder was a bit redundant.

(two)

"The second attraction, haha, maybe this has something to do with me being Chinese. Maybe my ranking is different from everyone else's. Everyone will rank the peeing child Julien second or even first." Chen Zhuo laughed.

He said.

Heidi said with great interest: "Oh, let me guess, what would you rank higher than the peeing child? Atomium, City Hall? Royal Museum of Art... Oh! Constant Vandens

Torque Stadium…”

Chen Zhuo smiled and shook his head, neither.

Pointing to the table, Chen Zhuo picked up the coffee and said, "This is it, this cafe. I thought the program team chose this place for a reason."

Heidi looked at the director. The director was stunned for a moment and looked at the stage manager. There was no such paragraph in the lyrics. As for why he chose this place, it was convenient! This five-story White Swan Cafe is located in the city center, a short distance from the city hall and the square.

They are all very close, making it convenient to shoot the outdoor scenes of Chen Zhuo and Heidi chatting while walking around, and this five-story cafe has a large enough space...

"Oh, okay, where we are sitting now is the place where Marx and Engels wrote the "[***] Manifesto". I said this has something to do with me being Chinese, haha..."

The director frowned. This kind of ideological stuff would definitely have been cut during the Cold War. Now... let's analyze it later when editing. Anyway, only a few minutes of the four-hour recording were kept in the final cut.

Most of them fell off!

Heidi nodded frequently. This kind of job that can combine work and be in close contact with Chen Zhuo is really a pleasure. Unfortunately, it is too short. There are only 4 hours a week and you have to make an appointment in advance. This is different from being alone with two people.

Heart-to-heart conversations are completely different. Alas, let’s leave it like this for now. I can’t be more greedy...

This time, the recording time of the program was set from 11 to 1 o'clock, which lasted two hours. Chen Zhuo and Heidi finished the two hours by eating some light meals, drinking a cup of coffee, and chatting.

When the time was approaching, a ray of sunshine shone through the window, and Heidi shouted happily: "Sunshine! It's not easy to see sunshine in Brussels in March!"

Brussels in March is at the intersection of late winter and early spring. It is a rainy city. From November to February of the following year, Brussels has 17 to 23 rainy days every month. Although there is a slight rain in March,

It has improved and there are not so many rainy days, but it is still gloomy every day.

(three)

The sun also shines on the Konstantin Vandenstock Stadium, the home ground of Anderlecht.

Football is the most popular sport in Europe. Each national league has its own "rich" team, and every city has its urban heroes who belong to football.

The Anderlecht team, founded in 1908, is the undisputed "rich team" in Belgium. This giant team only gradually came to prominence after the Second World War. In the 53 years from 1947 to 2010, they only failed to enter the top team twice.

Five, in 51 seasons in the top five, (won the league championship).

The peak was from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. In the seven seasons from 1976 to 1983, they won the Champions League five times. Constan van den Stock was the chairman of Anderlecht Club during that era.

, this stadium is also his monument.

The sun showed its face at noon to say hello to Chen Zhuo and Heidi. In the afternoon, the weather became gloomy again. When the audience began to enter the venue before the evening game, sporadic rain had already begun to fall.

"You have already changed to long-spiked sneakers. The biggest difficulty for us in today's game may be the weather! Anderlecht's players have completely adapted to the venue in this climate, and this venue is absolutely suitable for us.

For most of the players, this is their first time!" Labbadia emphasized to the players at the end.

Compared with the previous game of Hertha Berlin, there was only one adjustment. Ruud van Nistelrooy started in place of Torun. The two goals scored by the team after Ruud van Nistelrooy came on the field in the previous game were both Ruud van Nistelrooy's shots that were blocked by his teammates. Labadi

Ya discussed with Moniz and planned to let Ruud van Nistelrooy start in this game, intending to use Ruud van Nistelrooy's condition and experience to open up the situation as soon as possible.

Another change is that the captain's armband is worn on Chen Zhuo's left arm. In the last game, his ability to command and dispatch was obvious to the coaches and players. The third captain Rost also took the initiative to propose before the game that this game

Chen Zhuolai serves as the on-field captain. In addition to commanding and dispatching on the field, he also uses English to communicate with the referees. Everyone thinks that Chen Zhuolai is fully qualified.

This is Chen Zhuo’s second start, and it is also Chen Zhuo’s second time wearing the captain’s armband, but it is his first start as captain. On March 11, Chen Zhuo’s first official Bundesliga game was on February 13.

In less than a month, his rapid progress has surprised everyone again and again.

The only regret for the Chinese audience is that the CCTV Sports Channel did not purchase the broadcast rights for this Europa League match, and Fengyun Football did not arrange it. Only some die-hard fans watched the text live broadcast on the Internet.

The Constant Vandenstock Stadium, which can accommodate 26,000 people, was full, but only 500 tickets were allocated to Hamburg fans. Compared with those wealthy teams, Anderlecht believed that it had a chance to win Hamburg.

What's more, the Hamburg team played with this kind of "substitute lineup", which "irritated" them even more!

This time Boss Wang and the Chinese fans from the Chen Zhuo cheering group did not come to Brussels. They could not stop what they were doing and follow the Hamburg team on their travels every day. They will be waiting there at Leverkusen on the weekend.

.

Although the Chinese fans did not come, the five-star red flag and the charging horn have become two indispensable props for fans to cheer for the Hamburg team. Many international students from the Free University of Brussels were also assigned to the visiting team's stands, although they occupied the only space for the visiting team Hamburg.

There is only one spot among the 500 tickets, but everyone still welcomes this small cheering group.

In addition to the five-star red flag and the charge number, Hamburg fans have another prop this time. Almost every one of them has the sentence "i~miss~u~too" written on their blue scarf. The live broadcast footage was also specially found.

Among the 500 spectators in the stands, Heidi, the initiator of these words.

Of course, the home court is more about the white and purple colors of Anderlecht, and their team song with a few roosters crows before the chorus. In the drizzle, Anderlecht fans made

Loud noise.

(five)

What happened after kick-off was that the Anderlecht team had the same idea as the Hamburg coaching staff. They launched a fierce attack and did not give Hamburg players time to adapt to the slippery field.

Before the game, the team also analyzed the technical statistics of this opponent. In their league games this season, Anderlecht did not score in 0 games and scored 1 goal in 2 games.

, scored 2 goals in 12 games, and scored 3 or more goals in 13 games!

Of course, it is also related to the weak level of other opponents in the Belgian league, but this data is enough to show that they have a strong offensive system!

In addition to the 16-year-old Lukaku, the trident in Anderlecht's attacking system also includes Moroccan midfielder Bousufa and Belgian forward Suter. The three of them have jointly contributed to the 40 goals so far.

). In this game, Moroccan midfielder Bousufa was absent due to injury, which was a big loss for them.

Also in terms of defense, Anderlecht has kept 16 clean sheets in the league, conceding 1 goal 6 times, conceding 2 goals 4 times, and conceding more than 3 goals only 1 time.

Just a field!

This strength, which is very different from other teams in Belgium, ensured that Anderlecht achieved a good result of 21 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in each game.

Behind these data, Chen Zhuo also put forward a point of view, which Labbadia thought was very reasonable.

(six)

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins.

Waterloo? Before the game, some media used this word to express concerns about Hamburg. During the chat at noon, Heidi also asked about Chen Zhuo.

Chen Zhuo replied with a smile: "Napoleon lost at Waterloo, but Prussia won. Could it be that they warned Anderlecht in this way, be careful, the Germans are coming! Haha!"
