Chapter 974: Eight Finals!
After a lapse of five years, Zhang Shujie and Heynckes met again. Compared to five years ago, Heynckes does not look old, probably because he has not coached for many years, and he has not been anxious for any team, so the pressure is not so great.
In fact, after helping Bayern win the treble in 2013, Heynckes announced that he would retire and no longer coach, but Bayern's record in the first half of the year was not good, the club fired Ancelotti, Heynckes urgently returned to fight the fire, and brought Bayern, which once fell to the third place in the league, back to the top of the table, and the Champions League also reached the quarterfinals.
I have to say that in this Bayern team, Heynckes' prestige is unmatched, neither Ancelotti nor Guardiola can compare to him.
"It's been years, Zhang. Heynckes shook hands with Zhang Shujie and smiled.
Zhang Shujie also said: "Yes, it's been five years. ”
In the past five years, although the two have not met, they have often contacted each other by phone and message. It was in the hands of Heynckes that Zhang Shujie grew into a superstar comparable to Mero, so Zhang Shujie can be said to be in love with this German veteran.
Heynckes said: "In the past few years, your growth and progress have far exceeded my imagination. ”
Zhang Shujie said: "If I didn't have your guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”
"No, you're wrong. Heynckes said, "You have achieved what you are today because of your own efforts." The only thing I can do is get you to play more games and nothing else. ”
Zhang Shujie smiled and did not reply.
Heynckes added, "How many goals are you going to score for us today?"
Zhang Shujie did not hide it, and said: "Of course, the more the better." ”
Heynckes smiled: "Then ask my defender and goalkeeper if they say yes." ”
"No, I'll just promise myself. ”
Heynckes laughed heartily and said, "Go to your queue, you're about to enter the arena." ”
Zhang Shujie nodded and walked over, shaking hands with his Bayern teammates along the way, and the other Milan players and Bayern players greeted each other. This is often the case on the football pitch, when the stars of two strong teams meet in the players' tunnel, even if they don't know each other very well in private, they will greet each other very friendly.
Yan Tao also had a few acquaintances at Bayern before, especially the players in the backline, such as Neuer, Boateng, etc., and they were also very enthusiastic with each other, and Zhang Shujie, who had been at Bayern for a longer time, was even more familiar with them, and he came all the way and greeted everyone.
When they walked up to Lewandowski, the two looked at each other, then laughed at the same time and shook hands in a friendly manner. In the past, when the two played for Bayern together, the contradictions that arose were known to the whole team, but now after so many years, they have all let go.
Zhang Shujie stood at the front of the team, he sorted out the armband, and after a while, he followed the referee on duty and slowly walked to the court.
******************
CCTV Studio, Beijing, China. This Champions League match CCTV5 was narrated by old partners Xu Yang and He Wei, and at this time I only heard He Wei say: "Now the players on both sides have begun to enter the field, and the game will start soon." ”
Zhang Shujie and Neuer were picking sides, Zhang Shujie chose the tee off in the first half, and Neuer chose the venue. Both players were already in their positions, with Silva standing in the centre circle, waiting for kick-off. The stadium also became quiet at this moment, and the fans, who had been a little noisy before, also quieted down, waiting for the game to begin.
"Toot!" the referee blew the whistle and the game began. Silva knocked the ball to Chen Zihua, who passed it back to Locatelli.
******************
"Good morning, viewers, you are watching the first leg of the quarterfinals of the 2017/2018 UEFA Champions League, against Bayern Munich and AC Milan, Bayern Munich in red shirt and red shorts, AC Milan in white top and white shorts. In the first half, Bayern Munich attacked from left to right, and AC Milan attacked from right to left. Bayern lined up 4231 in this game, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, defenders Alaba, Hummels, Boateng and Bernate, two defenders Vidal and Thiago, three forwards Xu Zhixin, Muller and Robben, and center Lewandowski. ”
As soon as He Wei's words were finished, Chen Zihua gave a diagonal plug to Rodriguez on the left side in the backfield, Rodriguez got the ball and wanted to play a one-two with Silva to beat Robben, but the experienced Robben saw through it in advance, broke the ball, kicked out of bounds, and AC Milan got a throw-in.
He Wei continued: "AC Milan's formation is 352, and this formation has been used a lot by Inzaghi this season. The goalkeeper is Donnarumma, the defenders are Romagnoli, Yan Tao and Leonardo Bonucci, the midfield five are Locatelli, Xu Ziyi, Rodriguez, Chen Zihua and Conte, and the forwards are Andre Silva and Zhang Shujie. ”
Rodriguez threw a throw-in, he threw the ball far away, almost flew half of the field, flew to Bayern's penalty area, Chen Zihua headed a little, point to Silva, Silva picked up his left leg in the big penalty area line is a burst shot, Neuer flew to save, did not touch the ball, but the ball hit the post and popped off the bottom line.
There was a burst of exclamations from the Bayern fans at the scene. He Wei also said: "This is very sudden, of course, it is not that the shot is sudden, but Milan's opportunity came very suddenly, and it has only been two minutes since the game started." ”
Xu Yang said: "Maybe Bayern Munich didn't expect AC Milan to shoot in such a short time. What's more, they didn't expect that as soon as Milan's throw-in was thrown, they would be able to get a shot. ”
"That's right. This kind of game still needs to pay more attention, to talk about absolute chances, there are very few absolute chances when the strong are talking, but those 'opportunities that are not opportunities' may be grasped. ”
"That's right, just like between Bayern and Real Madrid last season, Ronaldo's last two goals are absolute chances, and nothing else. And at that time, Bayern's physical fitness was a little unable to keep up with Ronaldo to face the goal alone, but at this time, the game just started, and Bayern's physical fitness did not exist and could not keep up. ”
Heynckes knew why, it was careless. Fortunately, it was not Zhang Shujie who shot this time, otherwise Bayern would likely become the team that conceded the fastest goals in the Champions League this season. In fact, let's not talk about Zhang Shujie, if Silva can hit the goal with his right foot, Bayern's goal may be very dangerous.
Neuer took a goal kick, the two teams scrambled in the midfield, Locatelli had the upper hand in the battle with Thiago, the ball went to Zhang Shujie's side, at this moment, Zhang Shujie had returned to the center circle, he just stopped the ball, he saw someone on the left side forced up, and at the same time, someone pressed over behind.
