Vol 2 Chapter 44: The heart of the champion cannot be underestimated

While Schalke won the Champions League, Klinsmann sat at his villa house in Munich and watched TV, his expression was not easy.
In the eyes of ordinary fans and the media, Schalke only staged a violent anti-anti classic game, but as Bayern coach, Klinsmann saw more.
Schalke 04 can withstand Liverpool's mad bombing with the team's defense, and finally with Zhou Tiancheng's appearance to achieve a quick counter-attack, against a team with a strong whole and a key core, Klinsmann has some headaches It is really not easy to take the current situation of the team into consideration.
Turning off the TV, Klinsmann shook his head: "The Champions League will be settled first."
Klinsmann decided to do simple things first. Bayern had two wins and one draw in the first three rounds of the UEFA Champions League Group F. Compared with the situation in which the league is in a quagmire, the situation in the Champions League is obviously much better.
When the Champions League match day is over, the center of gravity of the two Champions League teams returns to the Bundesliga. The entire German media is paying attention to Schalke 04 and Bayern.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern is its own attribute, especially after Klinsmann took over, Bayern's scores in the league showed a rare big slip, which made the pervasive reporters shake the team's various problems one by one. come out.
This is not the Schalke media out of nowhere deliberately disturbing opponents before the war, just when the league reached the third round, Bayern's royal media "Süddeutsche Zeitung" began to question Klinsmann is not suitable for Bayern. In the formation, Klinsmann has been wandering between 3-5-2 and 4-4-2, and the basic tactics are not clear. After losing to Wolfsburg 2:4 away, Lucio, as a defender and team deputy, actually publicly bombarded Klinsmann's daily training for the Munich media: "His team has as many as ten An assistant, but we simply don’t know what to practice every day!"
Even the descendants of his men showed dissatisfaction, and the entire German media wondered whether Klinsmann had encountered a more serious locker room crisis.
Ironically, when Klinsmann took office, Bayern's general manager Hernes also openly told the media that Klinsmann's arrival will make the team more united...
At this juncture, the significance of this game is even more subtle. A local sports newspaper in Gelsenkirchen, the "Sportsman", is even more vocal. If Schalke 04 beat Bayern at home, Klinsmann’s The handsome position may not be guaranteed.
This is obviously a way of creating trouble for opponents, but it just broke out at this time, regardless of whether other media believe it or not, they are very happy to seize this point and stir up this matter. Soon, Klinsmann was already on the verge of being "off get out of class" in many German sports media.
But what is interesting is that everything seems to be very beneficial to Schalke 04, but the gate of the Schalke training base was closed a few days before the game, blocking the entire training field with roadblocks and screens, completely refusing the media to enter And shooting, but a state of imminent enemy.
Slomka is very experienced, and only in this way can the interference of outside news be reduced, so that everyone can fully pay attention to this game.
In the past few days of training, the team has targeted the side defense. Zhou Tiancheng was also asked to go to the side defense more often. Slomka in the Bayern's big list focused on Frank Ribery’s The name, just to say that this is Bayern's number one dangerous man this season.
Including Zhou Tiancheng, all the players have their eyes fixed, others needless to say, everyone understands.
Zhou Tiancheng deliberately called up Ribery's data in the system the night before. He hasn’t used the system in a long time, but a big player like Ribery, and the head coach is deliberately paying attention to assisting defense, it is necessary to pay special attention.
System administrator Qidan Harvey made suggestions to Zhou Tiancheng: "Frank Ribery, the all-round attacker in the midfield, is capable of multiple positions on the left and right wings of the midfield, the left forward, the wing forward, the shadow forward. The ball skill is first-rate, and the inward breakthrough is sharp..."
"Hey, it's okay, I feel like I've run into a big boss." Listening to the system's report, watching the data of Ribery's speed 85, shot 84, and long pass 88, Zhou Tiancheng felt that Ribery seemed to have no solution.
"The host doesn’t have to worry. With your current game experience, you should know that no matter how sharp the wing is, all offensive end must be in the middle, so you have two choices, either end the ball before the opponent takes the rhythm, otherwise you must Stand firmly in the key area of ​​the middle road, and avoid being confused by the opponent's impact."
Zhou Tiancheng laughed bitterly, this is completely reasonable nonsense, and a high-level confrontation with the giants, want to follow his own rhythm, which is so easy?
The importance of both sides in this game is self-evident. Compared to the psychological advantage of the home team, the Bayern locker room, Klinsmann's final mobilization was a bit sad. "The reporters said that I have to pay this game. I can go out of the team, but all of you have to understand that we are a great team, the only top player in the Bundesliga! This season we lost a lot of games that could have been won. So now facing Schalke , We are not fighting for the situation in the standings, but for the dignity and honor of Bayern. If you love this team deeply, please come and beat them on the court and tell those who want to see our joke, their eyes The weakest Bayern can still reap the Bundesliga leader!"
...
Bayern came with the belief of taking a three-pointer. Klinsmann chose a 3-5-2 attack formation today. Marcel Leif understands very well: "Although the three-back formation is indeed quite risky on the road, Klinsmann's consideration is understandable. Bayern has no retreat. If they have ideas about the league champion, they must win. And the thickness of this midfield is even more unusual. Schweinsteiger, Van Bommel and Ze Roberto were present at the same time. Perhaps this is the only way to limit the hot week."
Originally in everyone's mind, Bayern is in a relatively low challenger posture. Schalke 04 only tied a Ruhr Derby at home this year. The rest of the games won, with obvious psychological advantages. The result was only three. Minutes~EbookFREE.me~ Klose took a high-point pass from Hamet Altentop on the left and bombed it from close range. Bayern took the lead.
And in the next two minutes, Bayern midfielder steals Rakitic twice. After Van Bommel's long pass, Klose's national team partner Podolski ran out to form a single shot twice.
The opening Schalke 04 didn't recover, and the reporter and the narrator were also ignorant. This is not like Bayern under the regular state this season, it is completely the championship posture of last season.
Everyone was wondering, what did Klinsmann do to bring this team back to life so quickly?
Munich TV station's commentary Tuff Bowman finally saw the familiar Bayern, he shouted ecstatically: "Hahaha! This is what Bayern looks like, yes, that's it! Seen? This is just the return of the king 'S overture!"
In the Beijing studio, Duan Xuan's tone was a little dignified: "Bayern's opening performance is the same as the previous two teams. Schalke 04 must be in trouble. Is Zhou Tiancheng going to turn the tide?"
Tao Wei laughed beside him and then said: "After all Bayern ruled the Bundesliga for a long time. His ranking does not show his strength. He should still be the strongest in the Bundesliga. Facing any team, there are still psychological advantages. At least he If you don’t make a fuss, it’s because other teams have to fear him for a three-pointer, not to mention he is still the defending champion!"
Duan Xuan strongly agrees: "Tao's guidance is very clear. Now Bayern has once again explained a truth on the court: the strong and the strong, never underestimate the heart of a champion!"
