Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 394 An Alternative 'Marathon' Competition

Before the game, the Bayern Munich club was very firm. They repeatedly issued press conferences saying that 3 goals is not an insurmountable gap.

All Bayern players also showed a high-spirited look to the outside world, which made Bayern fans renew their confidence in the game. They all expected Bayern to create a miracle and complete a big reversal to defeat Chelsea and advance to the Champions League final.If Bayern can complete this difficult task, then the championship is almost in the bag.

The fans all hope that Bayern can create another glories and strive to bring the team to a higher point.

"We lost 3 goals in the last game. It is really difficult to score at least 4 goals in this game to enter the final. But it is not impossible to complete. We will strive for all hopes of victory. In the history of football There are many, many teams that have reversed, and Bayern will strive to achieve this, we have the confidence and ability to do it!"

On the official website of Bayern Mourinho, there is such a message, which constantly encourages the players, which makes many players regain their confidence, and the fans also turn to pay attention to this game again. Seeing a Bayern with an enterprising spirit and hard work, this must be a brand new Bayern.

After the 2:5 loss to Chelsea at the Olympic Stadium, the atmosphere of Bayern has always been like this. The whole team seems to have learned a lesson and is abnormally united. What the media and fans see is the spirit of courage and improvement. This makes everyone feel that Bayern still has some hope--
As long as you work hard, there is hope, right?
Even if it is 3 goals behind, even if it is an away game, there is hope of winning.

As long as there is hope, there is motivation! !

As a result, there were quite a few Bayern fans who came with the team from Germany to watch the game. At 12:[-] noon, there were already many fans wearing Bayern jerseys at the entrance of the Stamford Bridge Stadium.They gathered together, holding props to cheer for Bayern in their hands. It seemed that they were quite a bit like Chelsea fans in their momentum.

Unfortunately, the outside is outside, and the inside is inside!
Even if all the Munich fans were moved to London, there are so many seats at Stamford Bridge, and most of the rights to sell tickets are in the hands of Chelsea. Will they sell so many tickets to Bayern fans? ——
the answer is negative.

In fact, the total number of tickets in the hands of all Bayern fans is less than 2000, which is not even one-twentieth of the Blues fans.

For this reason, Bayern even has staff responsible for communicating with fans to respond to the situation with UEFA, but this kind of thing is not clear at all. Claiming that it was bought by a Bayern fan” also made Europa League helpless. If it really intervened in the investigation, it would not be worth the loss. Even if Chelsea sold fewer tickets to Bayern, it is human and reasonable.

Although there are relevant regulations in the Europa League, even if the investigation results show that Chelsea is responsible for all this, it will only be fined, and this small amount of money is not worth the big fight.

As a result, there are only less than 1800 Bayern fans who can enter the Stamford Bridge Stadium. This is nothing compared to Chelsea's nearly 4 fans.This has enriched the scalpers who bought more tickets outside the stadium. The original ticket price of 68 pounds for the UEFA Champions League semi-finals has been raised to more than 300 pounds. Even so, the supply is still in short supply. It is even said that a Bayern fan who came with the team, Even paid £1500 for a ticket from a Chelsea fan.

More than 2 hours before the start of the game, the players of the two teams rushed to the stadium to adapt to the venue under the leadership of the team coaches.

Of course, the Chelsea players are already very familiar with this field. They only do some relaxing exercises on the field, and the atmosphere is very lively with smiles and smiles among each other; Bayern's half is completely different. They are all working hard in adaptive training, and their training is very serious.Several players practice passing and catching the ball with each other, as if the real game has started.

The difference in the performance of the players on both sides made the fans who just entered the stadium clearly see that the mentality of the two teams is completely different.

Faced with this situation, the Blues are delighted. They feel that only by relaxing can the team play well. In fact, before the opening game, Chelsea seldom show much solemnity. Their active atmosphere can drive The players have a more stable mentality and enter the game state earlier without being nervous.

On the other hand, Bayern fans feel that Chelsea is very arrogant. They simply look down on Bayern Munich who came to Stamford Bridge, but they don't shout angrily. , Bayern is more likely to come back.

Before half an hour of adaptive training was over, Chelsea players walked towards the locker room in twos and threes, and when Chelsea's half was cleared, Bayern didn't even leave alone. While the German reporters at the scene were delighted, they immediately took pictures of these, which is evidence of Chelsea's carelessness.

If Bayern can make a comeback after the game, then this evidence will become the basis for them to laugh at Chelsea and England's arrogance. Of course, if Chelsea wins smoothly, then this video and photo can be discarded directly.

In the locker room before the battle, the team's head coach Jose Mourinho did not look as relaxed as the players. He looked very solemn, and kept reminding the players in the locker room to be careful, never Careless, but on the tactical level, he didn't say much, he just mentioned defense briefly.

In the end, Mourinho concluded: "...Be sure to pay attention to Bayern's offense. Their Ballack, Hargreaves and even Frings may become the starting point of the offense. Lucio, R. Kovac could also be involved in the attack."

"Defensively, the focus should be on the middle lane. The opponent's midfielder Ballack is very strong. You must be careful with his header. They are likely to take advantage of the high altitude and play a similar attack with a high-lobed cross. My The requirement is to guard the penalty area, shrink the formation, shrink the defense line, and give up the middle ground to the opponent. Our focus is on defense. We must do a good job in defense. We have the advantage of 3 balls in our hands, so don't rush to press. Goals, that will give the opponent a chance."

Seeing the serious expressions of the players around him, Mourinho nodded before continuing: "Allen, when you have the opportunity, take the ball more. We are mainly defending in this game, and we are relying on you on offense. .Alkin, when you look for opportunities, you should also go forward from the left. In this game, the team's offense is mainly centered and left. When attacking, the speed must be fast."

"...Also, Alan, you have to stand a little more forward, don't always come back to participate in defense, and trust your teammates..."

Before walking out of the locker room, Mourinho said a few more words to Wang Li, emphasizing his role. Even if he can't get the ball, it is a deterrent to Bayern. If he returns to the backcourt to defend, it will definitely not be worth the candle .

Wang Li was also very clear about this, so he just nodded in response.

In fact, before the game, although Wang Li also considered a lot, the focus was still on the internal atmosphere of the team, but he did not make any analysis of the game. Of course, most of these are the work of the head coach, he is just a player. , but it is undeniable that, as Bayern said, they may still come back, although this possibility is very small, but Wang Li does not want this to happen, then Chelsea will definitely be crucified , and his results will not be too good.

It was the first time to participate in the UEFA Champions League, a competition for the highest honor of European clubs. Wang Li didn't want to hand over the trophy because of negligence, so he listened very seriously to Mourinho's words at this time.

On the other side, in the locker room of the visiting team, coach Magath is constantly boosting the morale of the players. In fact, it is useless to do anything else. No matter what tactics are used by Bayern players, and this game They can only fight to advance.From the first minute of the game to the end of the game, only continuous offense can give the team hope for promotion.

As for defense, it needs to be considered after tying the score. However, Chelsea scored 5 goals in the away game.

They have no choice but to fight to the death!
…………

Players from the two teams quickly gathered in the player channel.

When he first played the game, Wang Li turned his head and looked around the fans stands. The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge today is completely different from that of the last league game. More than 1000 Bayern fans saw this situation, but Wang Li felt very boring.

With more and more games, he felt that some evil potential in his heart broke out. Before each game, he likes to provoke the fans, scoring goals in the anger of others, trampling on the dignity of others, will let him Lift your spirits.

But now, the entire stadium is full of Blues fans, and the faint cheers and shouts of the Bayern fans can't startle a wave and are drowned out.If he went to provoke the fans, I am afraid that instead of anger, they would welcome crazy cheers.

Regarding this point, although Wang Li is somewhat proud of his reputation in London, he also finds it a bit boring. This kind of competition is really beneficial, and it seems that there is no challenge at all.

After the start of the game, according to the head coach's tactical thinking, Wang Li has been lingering near the middle, running back and forth constantly. This is to look for opportunities, but also to implicate Bayern's backcourt and prevent them from attacking with all their strength.

But what he didn't expect was that his approach made Bayern's defensive players red-eyed, and they had to run along, which made Lucio and Sagnol, who were in charge of defending him close to him, less than 10 minutes away. Tired and out of breath within minutes.But Wang Li is lucky to run with internal strength, as long as he doesn't sprint a lot, he doesn't need much physical strength.

The gap between the two sides is clear at a glance.

This scene was completely seen in the eyes of the two head coaches on the sidelines. Mourinho smiled softly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was somewhat mocking, while Bayern coach Felix Magath on the other side seemed helpless. Before the game, he told Lucio and the two of them to defend Wang Li closely. He felt that only in this way would he be safe. Very difficult.

But the current situation is that the physical fitness of the players under him is not good, and the physical fitness of the black-haired boy on the field seems to be inexhaustible. The two sides fight for physical fitness, and Bayern is completely defeated!

So in desperation, seeing the game progressed to the 15th minute, when Lucio could hardly keep up, Magath stood on the sidelines and quickly ordered R. Kovac and Lizarazu to replace the above two To defend Wang Li.

Under such circumstances, Bayern's backcourt was messed up by a Wang Li who didn't get the ball, and all four defenders were unable to step forward to support. Bayern's offense was vigorously launched every time, but every time it failed. .However, it is a blessing in disguise. In the case of weak offense, the defense is much stronger. Chelsea played several counterattacks but failed to find any opportunities.

Wang Li, on the other hand, is still running around the midfield. His running is not too regular. He just runs back and forth following the position of the football, looking for the best position to catch the ball. It is the Chelsea player who gets the ball, and his position will ensure that his teammates can pass the ball easily.

Faced with this situation, it's not that Bayern's defenders don't run close to each other.

"Alan, look at Alan, he is still running! It's unbelievable. I think from the beginning, although he didn't get the ball a few times, the eyes of most fans and the screens of many TV stations often went to catch him. figure."

At this time, taking advantage of the gap between the ball going out of bounds and the game being stopped, Graham couldn't help but comment: "We can find that although Chelsea's offense seems to be weak in this game, Allen rarely takes the ball. But the frontcourt and the backcourt are equally exciting. Allen’s constant running made the Bayern players helpless. In order to prevent accidents, they could only run along. At the beginning of the game, Lucio and Sagnol followed him. , now it has been replaced by R. Kovacs and Lizarazu. We can see that Lizarazu seems to be a little out of breath after following, oh~~~, he stopped, the expression on his face Looks helpless, oh my god, Alan has run from the beginning to the present, I am really worried about his physical fitness, but it seems that he has no problem, really..."

By the 20th minute of the game, almost half of the fans in the audience had already fixed their eyes on Wang Li. They didn't care about Chelsea's halftime defense at all. The team had a 3-goal advantage. Even if Bayern scored a goal, it doesn't matter at all, but the 'marathon' game in Bayern's half is more eye-catching.

Wang Li didn't know this, but he was still running, but the situation was different now.

When Wang Li found out that the two Bayern players who were following him had been running with him, he decided to keep running. No matter who is afraid of the other, as long as the physical energy of these Bayern defenders is exhausted, it will be much easier for Chelsea to fight back. Yes, that's what he thinks, and he just keeps doing it.

…………

"Aschloch!!!"

At this time, coach Magath, who was sitting on Bayern's coaching bench, saw the situation in Bayern's backcourt and couldn't help but swear. When he played against Chelsea last time, he didn't realize that the black-haired kid was physically fit. It's so perverted, now that the race is about to reach No. 30 minutes, this black-haired boy is still running non-stop, and his speed is even faster than a marathon.

Not only that, but the football field is not a step-by-step and rhythmic running like a marathon. Wang Li circles around the field, going left and right for a while, stopping for a while and sprinting quickly, which is extremely exhausting. Exercise, at least the two of Lucio were exhausted and out of breath just now, and now it seems that R. Kovac's physical fitness seems to be declining very quickly, which makes Magath feel incredible.

Judging from the face of the black-haired boy, his physical energy doesn't seem to be consumed much. Could it be that he has twice as much physical energy as the Bayern players? How is this possible! ?
Magath never believed this kind of thing. In his opinion, Wang Li on the field was just pretending, 'Since you want to run, then we will follow!As long as we tire you out, we can let go of the attack! ', he thought so in his heart, and he did so.

So, soon Lucio and R. Kovacs replaced R. Kovac to defend Wang Li. What Magath meant was to let them run with Wang Li to see who would run out of energy first.

For other players, the main battlefield is still in Chelsea's half. Although there is no backcourt support, Bayern's offense has dropped a bit, but it is still very sharp. Chelsea had to defend with all their strength to keep the goal.

In the 30th minute of the game, Bayern's offense finally paid off. Hargreaves made a direct pass from the penalty area to the left and right, giving striker Salihamidzic a chance. After receiving the ball, he turned and drew Thomas Clark, whose sight was blocked by the defenders, had no time to react, but the football had already entered the net.

Bayern pulled one back.

But at this time, except for more than 1000 Bayern fans, few people cared about Bayern's goals. The Blues fans were more concerned about the track and field match between Wang Li and Bayern's defenders.

When Bayern was celebrating, at least on the surface, Wang Li's face didn't change at all, and his physical energy didn't seem to be consumed much. On the other hand, it was not the case with the Bayern defenders. The four defenders seemed to have just played a whole game. Yes, sweat is all over the body, and the weather in England in May is not too hot. This situation can only be attributed to their physical exertion.

"Alan!! Alan!! Alan!!!"

"Saint Allen, who can't die!!"

"It's amazing, Bayern boys, you still want to compete with Allen, haha, you can't control yourself!!"

……

No one booed Bayern's goal, and there were still shouts related to Wang Li from the audience. This scene made the foreign reporters present feel incredible, but the FA officials and English reporters took it for granted.

If a survey is now conducted to find out who is the most influential person in London, then it is estimated that 60% of the respondents will vote for Wang Li, and the British Prime Minister and the Queen have to stand aside. The influence among the public cannot be compared with Wang Li, who has been in the heat for a season.

Especially this is the Stamford Bridge Stadium! !

So what if Bayern scored?Chelsea fans feel that this game is just a gimmick, and the club's stars are the focus, especially Wang Li.

Seeing Wang Li's unexpected 'marathon' with the Bayern defender just now made the fans even more excited. As for Bayern's goal, who would care! ?
