Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 382 Loose and dignified

All the off-court affairs have little to do with Wang Li. Although sometimes when faced with media interviews, he can't help but go back and joke a few words, or reveal some interesting stories, beat his opponents, etc., but all of these are He didn't put it in his heart. In the stage before the game, all he needs to do is to adjust his mentality and try to keep himself in the best condition, that's all.

What he didn't know was that at this time, whether it was the European media or the media of the ancient oriental country, he had already been fired.

Everyone believes that he is the key to the outcome of the two teams. If you want to win Chelsea, you must not let him play. This is already a law recognized by the media and fans. What is commendable is that no matter where Chelsea In the state, no matter what kind of pressure the game faces, Wang Li has never performed abnormally because of the pressure so far. This makes most people feel incredible, and because of this, Chelsea has never had a fail.

People don't know why the dark-haired kid never plays badly, they can only interpret it as his ability to deal with pressure.

Therefore, many European media did not care about the question of "whether Alan Wang will perform abnormally", but pushed Wang Li to the focus of the entire game and the cusp of the storm, even the English media did the same. Now They have begun to have blind trust in Chelsea and Wang Li.

"The most critical battle in the European War! Alan Wang decides the outcome of the match!"

Many media have used a similar tone, and such sentences really attract the audience's attention.

This game is listed by many media as the most critical battle in the European war. Whether it is Chelsea or Bayern Munich, whoever can qualify will win the UEFA Champions League trophy.

At this time, many media have ignored Liverpool and Eindhoven. A dark horse is always a dark horse. It is a very good result to reach the final. They do not believe that the two can beat the winner between Chelsea and Bayern.

In a video, the highlights of Wang Li's wonderful performances in the match between Chelsea and AC Milan are continuously played. Every time he attacks, he is surrounded by many AC Milan defenders. It is worthy of pity, but he always uses outstanding skills and amazing physical confrontation ability to pass these big men, and then shoot the ball into AC Milan's goal.

From the perspective of clipping this video, the match between Chelsea and AC Milan was almost a one-man challenge to the entire AC Milan by Wang Li. The hit rate of this video was very popular on the Internet. It made many fans shout and enjoy watching.

Before the war, this put even more psychological pressure on Bayern. Facing such a player, how they should defend to limit his performance may become Bayern's first consideration.

In fact, Bayern coach Felix Magath is full of confidence in the battle.

This year, Bayern Munich's strength has reached a peak, whether it is Ballack, Hargreaves or goalkeeper Kahn, their strength has reached a peak state.

And not long ago, they had just eliminated Arsenal in the quarter-finals. Although Magath didn't know much about the English team, this did not prevent him from imagining--since he had crossed the powerful Arsenal , Why can't it cross Chelsea again, which is also from the Premier League and from London?

But imagination is imagination. Magath still has to study Chelsea's game video carefully before the game. After research, he also found that the media said it was right, and Wang Li's defense is the key to victory.

…………

Two days before the war broke out, the English media had already gone crazy. In their view, this Chelsea VS Bayern match would determine the winner of the European Champions Cup. Many media called it "not the final final!" '

Therefore, when they realized that the English team was about to win the UEFA Champions League trophy, the English media immediately became enthusiastic. They kept giving Chelsea advice, and some said that they should insist on advancing slowly and attacking the German pigs. Surrender, some say they will take advantage of the last upload against AC Milan, with Allen alone in the frontcourt, Chelsea will be invincible first, and some say... In short, the media are constantly talking about it .

Mourinho ignored the media, he only insisted on his own ideas, but in fact, the Portuguese is still hesitant about how to play this game.

Since 99, Chelsea has never played against Bayern. The two teams almost know nothing about each other, and a league like the Bundesliga is somewhat different from the Premier League and Serie A. Those videos of Bayern and the Bundesliga team , it doesn't make much sense at all, and you can't see anything from it.

All this made Mourinho worry.

He likes to have everything in his hands, but he doesn't know Bayern Munich.

Therefore, when formulating tactics, he can only try to ensure stability, and everything has to start with the backcourt defense.

In the previous transfer rumors, Robert Huth's statement made Mourinho very satisfied. At the critical moment of winning the championship in the final stage of the season, the harmony in the dressing room is very important, and the loyalty of the players to the team is also very important. Although Huth is only a substitute player at Chelsea, it is undeniable that his ability is still good. At least in the eyes of the Portuguese, he is a good supplement to offense and defense.

Probably because of this reason, in the starting list announced the next day, Robert Huth's name was impressively listed, and Bridget, who failed to make the starting list, stuck out his tongue helplessly.

"These are the most threatening figures in Bayern Munich." In the locker room, Mourinho pointed at the tactical board with a serious face, holding a stack of materials in his hand, explaining to the players what to pay attention to in the game .

"Barack! When defending, you must pay attention to him. He is tall and flexible, and his header is very good. Ballack is a key figure in Bayern's midfield. No matter what, he must be restricted. This person is Over to you, Frank."

"No problem, boss!" Lampard nodded.

"You must pay attention to defending Salihamidzic. This striker has been in very good form recently. In the last two Bundesliga games, he has scored 2 goals in a row. He is fast and explosive. This time Bayern will definitely start him in the game..."

"In terms of offense, we have to focus on their flanks. Hargreaves and Ze Robert are not strong. The flanks are Bayern's weakness. Alkin, we must pay attention to increasing the number of breakthroughs and gain opportunities for the frontcourt. "

"Remember, you must be steady!" Speaking of this point, Mourinho said very confidently: "Bayern's strength is not as good as ours. What we need to do is to play steadily. As long as we can exert our full strength, they must not be opponents."

"Bayern Munich's first leg is at home and the second leg is at Stamford Bridge. The schedule is not good for them. Matega will definitely allow them to increase their attack and score as many goals as possible to find an advantage, so our first thing to do is We need to stabilize the defense and look for opportunities to counterattack."

Mourinho began to analyze the possible situation of the game for the players again: "If they take advantage of the home court advantage and press out to attack, then our chance will come. Allen, in the game, see the opportunity to retreat a little bit later to To find more opportunities to counterattack, what we have to do is to find the flaws in Bayern's attack and give them a fatal blow."

When explaining tactics to the players, Mourinho showed confidence and solemnity. Even if he was not very sure in his heart, he had to show this look, so that the players knew that they must have confidence in the game, and they must serious.

And when Mourinho speaks to reporters before flying to Munich, he will be another face --
"Bayern Munich? Yes, they are strong in the Bundesliga, but it's only the Bundesliga..."

"Barack? This player is good, I think he will be very suitable for Chelsea, yes, I need him..."

"Kahn? Sorry, I only know that Allen scored a lot of goals. Their goal should not be a funnel that day. Also, I think Thomas is very good. Maybe he is better than Kahn. You don't think so. ?"

……

In short, in front of the media, Mourinho has always shown a very arrogant look. This appearance and words blew up the entire German media. It didn't take long for them to press Mourinho' contempt German football' hat.

It's a pity that the Portuguese didn't care about this at all. He still cheerfully took the players on the plane in front of the reporters and arrived in Munich, Germany on the night of the 27th.

…………

The German Olympic Stadium, which was built in 1936, was originally designed to accommodate 10 spectators, and now it can accommodate 7.5 people.It is said that after the end of this season, the stadium will undergo a comprehensive reconstruction and expansion, and Bayern's home stadium will also be relocated to the Allianz Arena in Munich.

On the night of April 4, the whole of Munich was overcrowded, and the enthusiastic atmosphere of football filled this ancient stadium.

For this competition, the Imperial Court of the Ancient Oriental Kingdom has obviously done a lot of work. The sports channel has switched the screen to the inside of the stadium half an hour before the game, and 10 minutes before the start of the game, the game commentator and special guests Chapter guidance has appeared in front of the TV screen.

"There are still 10 minutes before the start of the game, let's first announce the starting rosters of both sides!"

"Chelsea played a 442 formation, Thomas Clarke in goal, Glenn Johnson, Ricardo Carvalho, John Terry and William Gallas in defenders, Joe Cole on the right. , Dutch teenager Arjen Robben on the left, Lampard and Claude Makelele in the center, forwards Wang Li and Didier Drogba."

"Bayern Munich also formed a 442 formation, the goalkeeper Kahn, the defenders from left to right are Sagnol, Lucio, R. Reins, Ballack and Ze Roberto, strikers Salihamidzic, Guerrero."

At this time, the special guest Director Zhang spoke. As a guest, what he said was of course much more 'advanced' than the commentator's simple explanation: "From the perspective of the formation of both sides, this game will be a game of temptation and anti-test. Contest. Both sides are in a 442 formation, the same tactics, maybe Chelsea's offensive ability is stronger, but this is Bayern's home court, so after the game starts, the two teams will start a fierce battle in the midfield. It will also be very intense and exciting, and we look forward to this being a…”

After the chapter guide finished the analysis, it was the turn of the on-site commentator to give some "simple" introduction: "Let's look at Chelsea's starting lineup. Thomas Clark is said to be Wang Li's teammate in the Wolves youth team, but now they Both have become the main players in Chelsea, and Thomas is only 19 years old. It seems that he has already squeezed out Chelsea's position in Mourinho's heart. It seems that the England team will not have to worry about the goalkeeper in the future."

"From the point of view of the formation, Wang Li's position is a right forward or a center forward. However, his position in the game has always been debated, and his running position is not fixed. We can only expect him to play better in this game. played out."

…………

Under the signal of the referee, players from both sides entered the field in an orderly manner.

As soon as Wang Li just walked into the stadium, he was greeted by countless middle fingers and loud boos, but he was mentally prepared for these, and he didn't feel much at all. On the surface, he was just harmless towards the nearest The fans smiled, but in a place where the referee couldn't see, his little finger stretched out unconsciously, and he held it up high, for fear that the Bayern fans would not see it.

It seems to have become his signature move every time the visiting team enters the pitch.

Obviously, this action irritated the Bayern fans. They yelled at Wang Li with their teeth and claws, and kept threatening to fight back in this way, but Wang Li turned a deaf ear to it. Knowing more about football, Wang Li is more and more relaxed on the court.

However, this does not mean that the referee will let him go.

Recently, the European Referees Association has received feedback from many fans that Chelsea players always provoke fans during the game. After investigation, they found that this black-haired boy in particular, he has this kind of action in every game. As a result, Wang Li was blacklisted by the referee association.

The referee of this game is Temenke from the Netherlands. Before the game, he was informed that he must pay attention to Chelsea's Alan Wang before the game started.

Temenke remembered this sentence, and he did the same, but Wang Li's movements were too subtle. Practicing Taoist inner skills made him very sensitive, and he could easily detect the referee's vision. In the dead corner, except for the arms, there is no movement on the whole body.

But this did not prevent Temenke from guessing when he saw the fans being furious, so he stopped the coin guessing work of the captains of the two teams, and ran over to warn Wang Li: "You'd better not provoke the fans, Don't make any small moves!"

Temenke's expression was fierce, but he couldn't do anything if he didn't see it, and Wang Li was also surprised that the referee noticed his actions and gave him a warning, but he knew that he might be being targeted, So, he just explained that he was innocent with a harmless face.

"I didn't do anything, those fans didn't want me to play..." Wang Li explained.

However, his random explanation makes sense to Temenke. The kid in front of him can score 2 goals in almost every game. Of course, Bayern fans don't want him to appear in the stadium where the two teams play superior.

"Okay, pay attention to your movements." Temenke calmed down, said Wang Li, and then ran to preside over the coin guessing work.

Behind him, Wang Li waved his hand indifferently, attracting wild curses from Bayern fans.

After the two captains finished guessing the coin, Chelsea won the right to kick-off. Players from the two teams stood on both sides of the court, waiting quietly for the referee Temenke to blow the whistle to start the game.

…………

After the start of the game, Wang Li did not come up to attack.

For this game, Mourinho's tactic was defensive counterattack, but Chelsea didn't know Bayern well, so after the opening, the Chelsea players kept falling in the backcourt in a tacit understanding. Take the lead in passing the ball back, stabilize the formation, try to control the situation, and make a step-by-step test.

During this process, Wang Li only wandered in the middle. This game is too important, and he is also very steady in preparing to find out the opponent's routine first, and is looking for offensive opportunities.

With Wang Li in the Chelsea midfielder and Lampard, the midfielder is more stable under the leadership of the two, making it very difficult for Bayern to steal.

After Bayern coach Felix Magath led the team to defeat Arsenal, although he was full of confidence in this contest with Chelsea, he was very stable.

In Germany, Magath is a very famous local coach. The team he led has won 3 Bundesliga titles, 2 World Cup runner-ups, a European Cup title, and a European Champions Cup title. For a football coach, it can be said to be very successful.

Therefore, even Mourinho respected him very much. Before the game, the two shook hands very cordially.

As an experienced head coach, Magath's tactics for the team are also to test the opponent's routines first, and then look for offense.However, the difference is that Bayern's follow-up is a massive offense, while Chelsea is a defensive counterattack.

It is now at the Olympic Stadium in Germany, Bayern Munich's home court, and they must use their offense to gain an advantage, so as to reduce the pressure at Stamford Bridge in the second leg.

In this way, the tacit agreement between the head coaches of both sides made it so that in the first 15 minutes before the opening, neither side took the initiative to attack the ball, but kept trying, and the middle road became the main battlefield. I am using my best efforts to win hope for the team's victory.

"Stand back a little, pay attention to defense!"

"Gallas, go to the right, Frank pay attention to Barack!"

……

In the backcourt, captain John Terry kept communicating with his teammates and telling them what to do.

In fact, Terry attaches great importance to this game. At Chelsea, he and Lampard have hardly won any honors, and now this match is extremely important to the team's Champions League road.

It is impossible for him not to pay attention.

In order to win, Terry has devoted himself to the game.
