Vol 2 Chapter 136: Top Battle

In Schalke 04 suffered a two-game downturn, Bayern Munich scored one win and one draw behind, 2:1 Lectra Frankfurt, 0:0 draw against Stuttgart, seven wins, two draws and one loss after a round of 23 points To the top of the list, Schalke 04 was six wins, three draws and one loss with 21 points, one less win and two points behind.
The next twelfth round of the league is the first battle that Germany is looking forward to, Bayern Munich VS Schalke 04, a strong dialogue between two winning teams.
Throughout the week, all sports media in Germany are making predictions about this game. Interestingly, Bayern's support group did not have an advantage when facing the Bundesliga team for the first time.
Looking at the odds of professional bookmakers, the odds of the two teams are surprisingly exactly the same. The official odds of William Hill are 1 and 1.5. Even for the odds of the half-time champion, Schalke and Bayern are not By comparison, that is to say, bookmakers still think that they can get out of the current dilemma as soon as possible.
In terms of public opinion, Bayern because of its long tradition of giants, naturally has a lot of reputation support, such as the legendary German goalkeeper Kahn, as Bayern’s veteran door god, he has full confidence in Bayern: "I can not imagine Bayern Munich continuous Without the Bundesliga championship in two seasons, no team in the Bundesliga can do this. According to the law, this season's champion should be Bayern. Van Gaal's Bayern is full of vitality and there is no lack of experienced veterans. I think There is no reason why they can't win... Although Schalke's offensive ability is second only to Bayern, they should not have a chance in this game. Hans Boot has been playing very well this season."
Kahn also did not forget to stand in the position of his predecessors to praise his juniors-Bayern's main goalkeeper Bout this season.
Since replacing Lensin in the second half of last year, Bout has been playing very well. His excellent goal line save technique quickly stabilized Bayern's defense. Bayern lost seven goals in the first eleven rounds of this season, compared with the same period last year. They threw thirteen goals. Once the defense is stabilized, Bayern's attack power naturally needs no question-Robben and Ribery's "Robery" combination has created twelve goals.
Not just Kahn, former Bayern coach Klinsmann said more directly in an interview with Deutsche Television II: "Even Real Madrid can't win two consecutive Allianz Arenas."
It sounds like a final judgment, the result of this game seems to have been finalized.
Bayern’s supporters are all famous in Germany, and Schalke 04’s supporters are the ten coaches of the other 16 teams in the Bundesliga-except for the Wolfsburg coach who aims at the championship. Mingfa, Bremen coach Schaff and Dortmund coach Klopp, almost all other Bundesliga coaches support Schalke. Bayern has been too strong in the country for a long time, so most teams want to see Bayern suffer.
After leaving Schalke, Sloemka, who took over from the Hanover 96 club, was a staunch supporter of the old club. During a survey interview with German TV station 2, he said: "This Schalke is more aggressive. , Enough to cause a lot of trouble for Bayern."
Speaking of which, he specifically asked: "Can Zhou guarantee a healthy appearance?"
The answer I received was that I did not receive any news that Zhou Tiancheng might be absent, not even the media's gossip.
Slomka grinned: "Then this question is meaningless, Schalke will definitely win!"
...
At the Schalke base, in addition to the traditional training subjects, Magath has added an item these days: watch videos, all videos of Bayern since this season.
In the past, he or the team's tactical analyst Gellin explained the characteristics of the opponent's key players to the players, but this time he wanted everyone to feel more intuitively.
The research objects of players in different positions are different. The defenders and goalkeepers study Bayern's striker groups Mario Gomez and Klose. The forward players focus on Van Bitten, De Mikelis and goalkeeper Butt. And Zhou Tiancheng, his task is the heaviest, Schweinsteiger, Van Bommel, Robben, Ribery are all his concerns, because Magat has the most stringent requirements on his running range in training, From the side to the middle, the entire midfielder Magath asked him to cover without dead ends
In the last training class, we focused on the regional key-pointing man, requiring everyone to take the initiative to press the high position to force the robbery. Looking at the players who were sweating and panting after training, Maga nodded: "I am very satisfied with your current state. The game with Bayern Munich will be so difficult. Don't think that you won an away game last year. This time, it will be a matter of course that you will win. Your opponent is the least expensive team in the Bundesliga. The capital effect, you can see it without me saying. Robben and Ribery are the best side attack in the Bundesliga. Hand... Week, you pay more attention to Robben in this game, especially in the restricted area. If you find him inside, you must close in time."
"But what about Schweinsteiger and Van Bommel?"
"Lewis will help you block the middle when you go to stare at Robben."
Holtby patted Zhou Tiancheng's shoulder: "You can rest assured in my defense zone ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Zhou."
Zhou Tiancheng was still a bit hesitant. He was not questioning the head coach, but worried that after he was attracted away, Holtby could not cope with the situation.
At this time, the more confident he was, the more worried Zhou Tiancheng was. This guy was too taken for granted. "Piggy" and Van Bommel are real superstars. He can tell that Holtby revealed It is not because of the strong and excited self-confidence of the opponent, but really that the Bayern players are nothing.
Although Zhou Tiancheng also thinks Bayern is nothing great, the team will definitely win. But this can be said when inspiring morale. He never cares when facing opponents.
Contempt for opponents is strategic, and opponents must be valued tactically. Zhou Tiancheng has always believed that this sentence makes sense.
...
The importance of this match in Munich is the highest in the history of the two sides, and it is not even weaker than the national derby of Bayern and Dortmund. At the Joseph Strauss International Airport in Munich, promotional posters for the two sides' games were placed at the entrance of the airport. Welcome the media from various countries who came to participate in the live report.
The German Football Association has received signals from 150 national television stations to provide demand. Forty of these countries will send forward reporting teams to the Allianz Stadium to explain.
Since Schalke 04 is the defending champion, and this game will directly affect the direction of this year's championship, it seems very significant.
