Zhang Shujie was standing in the living room.

He crossed his hands on his hips as if he were on the court. He watched the Chelsea players celebrating the victory through the TV screen, and the camera gave Li Mu and Xu Ziyi, the two heroes who were the two Chinese stars' pass and shot, which ensured Chelsea's path to promotion.

The final score of the game was 0:1, Bayern lost to Chelsea at home, and fell to the semi-finals for two consecutive years, Zhang Shujie will not represent Bayern in the Champions League again, and he will definitely wear the jersey of other teams the next time he participates in the Champions League.

That night, Zhang Shujie called Li Mu and Xu Ziyi to congratulate them on reaching the finals. On the phone, Li Mu said something to him: "In the Champions League final two years ago, when I lost to you, I told you that I would definitely beat you in the Champions League, and now, I have done it." ”

Zhang Shujie smiled: "Yes, you did it, you are stronger than two years ago, I congratulate you and hope you can win the Champions League final." ”

Li Mu said affirmatively: "It will be!"

With the elimination of Bayern, Guardiola is also questioned, when Heynckes chose to retire after winning the treble for Bayern, Bayern in order to maintain his position in Europe, deliberately hired Guardiola to continue the dynasty with a high salary, but in the past two seasons, Guardiola has fallen in the semi-finals. It stands to reason that reaching the Champions League semi-finals is not a bad result, but two years ago, Heynckes left him a treble-winning team, which also caused Guardiola's starting point to be too high, so his Champions League semi-final record is also difficult to convince.

and his tactics, which have also been criticized in recent years. It is true that his pass-and-control style of play has achieved great success in Barcelona, so he will transplant this tactical style to Bayern, but he ignores a problem, Bayern is not Barcelona, and there are no ball control masters like Iniesta and Xavi in the team. He was flanked by Muller, a German who was not skilled with his feet, and Franck Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, two stars who couldn't say anything about their ability, but they liked to find their way through the quick attack, and the slow-paced Tiki-Taka didn't suit either of them.

Taking a step back, even Zhang Shujie, who is very comprehensive in technique and speed, is quite critical of Guardiola's use of this set of tactics. Especially when counterattacking, he hopes that the team can be faster when counterattacking, and use simple and effective passes to hit the ball to the front, but in Guardiola's thinking, no matter when, possession is paramount.

Not only Zhang Shujie who was dissatisfied with his tactics, Yan Tao was also a very representative figure, and even Yan Tao scolded Guardiola for being a sissy, so Yan Tao, who could not play the main force under Guardiola, could only go away to Milan City.

Judging from the past two years, Guardiola has not been successful at Bayern, but he can't be sure that he is a failure, and he has won two league titles, although it is not uncommon for Bayern to win the championship at home.

Pep Guardiola has a three-year contract with Bayern Munich and now two years have passed, and there is no trend to justify his intention of renewing his contract, although the club have offered him a new contract, but he has not responded positively. He has at least one more year left next year to prove himself, and if he doesn't win the Champions League yet, according to his character, he is likely to leave Bayern.

With the Champions League eliminated, the German Cup lost to Borussia Dortmont, and the league won the championship early, Bayern's season can be said to be over early, and the remaining two league games have no other meaning than to add a few simple wins and defeats to Bayern.

On May 16, Bayern played away against Freiburg, Zhang Shujie started the game, did not score, Bayern lost 1:2 to the opponent; seven days later, Bayern faced Mainz at home, Zhang Shujie was still the starter, he scored twice in this game, and increased his league goals this season to 23, Lewandowski and Schweinsteiger scored a goal each, Bayern won 4:0, and ended his league journey this season perfectly.

Then came the award ceremony, Zhang Shujie suddenly found that the Bundesliga championship did not have much attraction to him, and Bayern encountered too few threats and challenges in China, perhaps this is also the reason why Bayern has always been a little powerless when encountering strong opponents in the Champions League in the past two years. Zhang Shujie needs a stronger challenge – of course, this is not an excuse for him to want to leave Bayern, but it is no longer possible for him and Pep Guardiola to get along.

The fans at Allianz Stadium knew that Zhang Shujie was leaving, and although they didn't know where his next home would be, these fans still put up banners and hoped that he would stay. Zhang Shujie is thanking these fans, he knows that they are the real fans of the team, or his own fans, and he knows that there will definitely be no Lewandowski fans in this.

This was his last game for Bayern, many teammates were reluctant to let him go, Martinez wanted him to stay the most, the two transferred in the same year, the relationship was very good, Martinez also said to him: "You are leaving, even I want to leave." ”

Zhang Shujie didn't know if he was serious or joking, but he also smiled: "Okay, I'll contact you when I determine where to go." ”

Zhang Shujie didn't expect him to really follow him, but Zhang Shujie was very satisfied with his intentions. This Spaniard is one of the few friends Zhang Shujie has in Europe other than his own compatriots. He doesn't have much nostalgia in the Bundesliga, probably Martinez can be counted as one, by the way, and Xu Zhixin, the 19-year-old young man scored in this round of the game, which was the first goal of his club career.

Well, Xiao Xu, congratulations!

When Zhang Shujie walked back to the locker room, the fans on both sides of the stands suddenly became excited, and some fans shouted: "Zhang, don't go! We are reluctant to let you go! Don't go!"

"Zhang, you stay, we need you, the team needs you!"

"We want you to stay at Bayern all the time, I can't imagine Bayern without you!"

Zhang Shujie looked at the fans and felt a little sad. In fact, no matter how deep his contradictions with Guardiola and Lewandowski are, the fans are innocent, although a few fans occasionally booed him, but most of the fans like him and are eager for him to stay at Bayern Munich.

Zhang Shujie waved to the fans and said: "Thank you, thank you for your love for me, my original intention is to stay, but many things are out of my control." ”

He's not making excuses, he likes Bayern and he likes these fans. Sometimes, professional football wants to be a piece of rivers and lakes, and people in the rivers and lakes are often involuntarily.

He silently took off his jersey and threw it into the stands, taking one last look at the adorable group of fans before turning and walking into the players' tunnel.
