After a lap in the five major leagues, Jovitic scored twice, and Hertha Berlin, who conceded two goals, finally got out; in Serie A, the young Simone scored a wonderful goal, and Verona, who conceded three goals, turned defeat into victory. It can be called a classic, both of them have a common name-frustrated genius. Just one was bound by cruciate ligament injuries, and the other carried a heavy load under the halo of the second generation, but in fact, on the night when the two men were elated, another star, Patrick Hick, whose career was like a roller coaster, also killed happily. In the game against Feldt, he finished his senior year at Bayer Leverkusen and became the first "Mr. Sixi" in the history of the pharmaceutical company in the Bundesliga.

The disparity score of 7-1 was a massacre, and the fourth-year happiness within 27 minutes was a masterpiece, so the fans got to know Hick again. The Czech star has scored 12 goals in 11 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, scoring an average of one goal every 71 minutes more efficient than Lewandowski, so it is no coincidence that Hick is second only to the Polish star in the Bundesliga scorer list. But for Hick personally, this gorgeous show has redemptive significance. Looking back more than a year ago, it was seriously suspected that Czechs who had worked as parallel imports in Rome were not worth 26.5 million euros at all, but within more than a year, Bayer Leverkusen proved that it was a good deal, even good value for money.

Compared to the surprise of the Big four, Hick had already solemnly introduced himself at the European Cup this summer. He and Ronaldo both scored five goals, but according to the official rules of the European Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had more assists, ended up with the title of best scorer. But Hick, who took second place, was not empty at all, and won the best goal award in the European Cup by virtue of his ultra-long-range volley shot against Scotland. Although Hick, who was defined by the outside world as famous in World War I, created a star effect, he did not wait until the olive branch extended by the giants after the European Cup, and the scandal did not develop further. In a sense, the calm that exceeded outside expectations is a mental blow. After all, born in 1996, he is handsome and able to play, not to mention testing his success on the stage of the European Cup.

It is not the high transfer fee that deters the giants, but Hick's injury history and giants' robbery. When he joined Rome for 42 million euros at the age of 21, it was a good opportunity to explain his youth, but he only scored eight goals in 58 games, winning the reputation of "parallel imports" and the title of "Golden garbage Award". Rome fans satirized him even more: "for the sake of your beautiful model sister, forgive you." For Mengqi, the general manager who has always been famous for being accurate, this is one of the few mistakes, and for Hick, he has always been bitter: "I don't know what went wrong with my experience in Rome, but this kind of thing always happens in the football world." maybe I wasn't 100% ready for a transfer at that time. "

In fact, Rome can completely avoid detours, because Hick also has an identity-the person who has been returned by Juventus. When playing for Sampdoria, the Czech, who started in Serie A for the first time, gave the first ball to the "Old Lady". Since then, Juve have been keeping an eye on the 1.9-meter big man, unfortunately in the "hand-holding" session. Hick's heart has arrhythmia, and it is still the same after a second medical examination. Although his agent and medical experts in the Czech Republic believe that Hick, who takes care of the national team, the national youth team and the club, is only too tired to develop angina pectoris, such an accident will maximize the risk during a medical examination. Juventus' prudence is also a normalized procedure.

Although the "stepping on thunder" incident in Rome was scheduled for two medical examinations, and Hick's failure came from disobedience, the professional standard of "Hawk Eye" Mengqi was naturally questioned when the accounts were settled afterwards. the change of direction also made Hick farther away from the rich and powerful. At that time, some media thought that Rome might be the ceiling of the club he could get in touch with, and when he put on his Roman shirt for the first time. Surrounded by the camera, he boasted that "this is the right choice", while the last player to move from Sampdoria to Roma was Montella, and the good memories he brought to Roma fans have not been copied in the Czechs.

Times have changed, and perhaps the good memory of Hick was only sustained in the second leg of the 2017-18 Champions League quarter-final when he and Dzeko formed the Twin Towers in attack, allowing the high-flying Roma to beat Barcelona at home, creating the famous Roman miracle. It is worth mentioning that this is his Champions League debut, but he saw no sign of recovery in the Eternal City, and he was once asked to stay away from the penalty area with a bit of overlap with Dzeko.

Although Hick, who is on loan to Leipzig, is not rich in playing time, but as a substitute, he contributed 10 goals and declared: "everything is fine here." As a charter, naturally reveals the feeling of nostalgia, perhaps Leipzig coach Nagelsmann than Rome coach Difrancesco and K. Fonseka know him better, at least he is fully qualified for the task of Werner wingman. Roma have stated in their loan contract: "Red Bull of Leipzig can choose to pay about 29 million euros to buy out the player." It was thought to be the key to unlock Hick's demons, but the epidemic was raging and all clubs were tight, while Leipzig's request for a 50% discount was rebuffed by Rome, which had suffered losses. Go back in time? This is clearly a backtrack that Hick is afraid of.

There are always people who know Hick, and Voller is one of them: "he is a typical center, technically excellent, strong header, able to hold and control the ball." But the Germans are not trying to persuade Hick to return to Rome, but strongly recommend him to join Bayer Leverkusen, whom he is in charge of. After all, Voller, who is now the CEO of a pharmaceutical company, did not hesitate to pay a transfer fee that would stop Rome's losses in time, and added a second-share clause. During the epidemic, the sale of 26.5 million euros was easy to attract attention, but Voller believed in his vision. In fact, this is also a deal about Bayer Leverkusen's plans in advance, especially after Vlad and Havertz left the team, Hick gradually gained a foothold. So much so that Voller's praise reached a new height: "the arrival of Hick has given Bayer Leverkusen an internationally renowned center."

If 13 goals were in order in 36 games last season, Hick has completely recovered to the point of full firepower this season, which is lucky for Bayer Leverkusen and the pleasure of being reborn after the robbery. When he first entered Serie A, he boasted that he would one day play for a big club like Manchester United or Real Madrid. Recalcitrant was one of his obvious labels at that time. If he was willing to trace back, he could talk back to his coach openly as early as when he was a teenager. Now, after two accidents with very different styles, Hick doesn't care about the eyes of the outside world, so he just wants to chase the light on the ordinary road. Just like the big four Xi and the European Cup shot behind, is the precipitation of accumulated strength, is the release of lost knowledge.

"I want to play every game" vision, will naturally drive the wind and rain of Hick, some bitter, only their own understand, and only they do not want to repeat.
