April 12, Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany.

There was still half an hour left before the game began, but the stadium was already full, and some Bayern fans unfurled banners welcoming Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao home. But there were a few fans who didn't really welcome them, especially Zhang Shujie, who considered the Chinese striker a "traitor".

Zhang Shujie, who was warming up on the field, could naturally see this, but he didn't think he was at fault, because of his injury and disagreement with Guardiola, he would choose to go to San Siro, which is a very normal thing in professional football, do you want to go to the bench because of the personal grudge between Zhang Shujie and Guardiola? You must know that Zhang Shujie was a Ballon d'Or winner at that time, and he didn't worry about leaving home at all, so let him be a substitute? That is simply impossible.

Chen Hui and Zhou Ye sat in the press box, compared to Zhou Ye's reporting task is not as heavy as Chen Hui, after all, Bayern has only one Chinese player, while Milan has four. Due to the large amount of work, Chen Hui usually does not pay much attention to other leagues, and he has not watched Xu Zhixin's game in Bayern, so he can only judge the quality from the data. However, Xu Zhixin is not a "typical striker", especially in the category of wingers, he is not a prolific goalscorer, which is fundamentally different from Ronaldo and Neymar, he is more like an assault winger like Robben and Hazard.

Even so, Xu Zhixin's 16 goals and 16 assists in 36 games for Bayern this season are good enough, and at just 22 years old, he has firmly occupied a starter, and Heynckes will decide whether to play left or right depending on the situation on the field.

Chen Hui flipped through the data, and Zhou Ye said beside him: "If you look at the game process, Xu Zhixin's performance is even more exciting than the data on paper. ”

"Then I'm looking forward to it. Chen Hui said with a smile.

"Seriously, Chen Hui, any of these Chinese players you reported on are at least the top three players in the world. Let's talk about Zhang Shujie, say that he is the world's No. 1, I don't think anyone will object; and Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi, last year's World Footballer of the Year and this January's Ballon d'Or, both of them ranked second or third; and Yan Tao, I remember someone said at the beginning that the best defender in Serie A is either Yan Tao or Bonucci, and now it seems that Yan Tao is the best one, and in the world, except for Ramos, who else can compete with him for the title of the world's No. 1 central defender?"

Chen Hui couldn't help nodding when he listened, in the past two years, Chen Hui has not thought about this issue carefully, and when Zhou Ye said this today, it is really true. Chen Hui glanced at him and said, "Zhou Ye, let me tell you the truth, Milan today is much stronger than Bayern." ”

Zhou Ye smiled bitterly after hearing this, and said: "Indeed, Bayern's squad is facing aging and urgently needs to be replaced, and AC Milan's players are at their peak, and the age structure is very reasonable, only Bonucci is over 30 years old in the main lineup, but he is only 31, which is not too old for a defender." Among the other players, Zhang Shujie is 27 years old, the 'twins' are 26 years old, Conte is 24 years old, Rodriguez will only be 26 years old in August this year, Yan Tao is 27 years old, these players are all at the age of creating brilliance, and there are some young people under the age of 22, this Milan team is really too strong. ”

Chen Hui leaned back in his seat and said: "I think even if it is an away game, AC Milan will win as a matter of course. ”

Zhou Ye nodded and said, "That's right. But it wouldn't be surprising if Bayern won. ”

During the conversation, the players on the field had already warmed up and walked into the locker room one after another. Inzaghi was already ahead of the curve and was waiting for them in the dressing room.

The players walked in one by one, sat down in their respective positions, Inzaghi looked around, and then said: "I thought a lot before, but I still decided, less is better, tactically, we have practiced too much, I have not arranged any special play, now the whole world knows our tactics, and also knows our offensive ideas, but it doesn't matter, tactics are only one aspect, the key is to see everyone's execution, we believe that you can be the same as before, perfect execution of tactics." ”

Without waiting for the players to answer, Inzaghi added: "The formation is still 352, it's just, Rodriguez, I need you to run back and forth more, understand?"

Rodriguez nodded, "Understood." ”

This player was not a very good runner in the past, sometimes he ran up, and he couldn't run back in the shortest time, and his left side needed someone to fill in the position, usually Xu Ziyi played this role. But this will definitely not work in the long run, if you do this, Xu Ziyi's physical exertion will be very large, and the more it will be in the later part of the season, the more obvious it will be, Inzaghi can't let Xu Ziyi be too tired.

'Players in other positions, each with his own role. After speaking, Inzaghi looked at the time, it was still sufficient, and said: "Okay, I will leave all the rest of the time to you, and you can arrange it yourself." ”

Compared with AC Milan, Bayern Munich's dressing room is much more nervous, Heynckes can be said to be very careful with Zhang Shujie, he said: "You must not be one-on-one with him, his ability, you also know, except for the set-piece, do not use the way of marking to defend him, you can't prevent it, you have to defend together, if he gets the ball, at least two people go to card!

The Bayern players nodded slightly, especially Boateng, who nodded his head the heaviest. After all, in the game, he is very likely to be the one who faces Zhang Shujie the most.

Heynckes seemed to know this, and he deliberately glanced at Boateng before continuing: "Our goal is still to break through the wing, and the middle is the main one, they only have three defenders, and the two sides will be our main point of attack, and the central players must follow up, otherwise we will waste the attacking opportunity in vain." Inzaghi must have studied our attacking tactics and that's okay, a team like ours isn't afraid to be studied because we're capable enough. After a pause, Heynckes said, "I won't say anything else, the game is about to start, you guys get ready." ”

Ten minutes before the start of the game, the players of both teams also walked out of the dressing room, the main players stood in the players' tunnel, and the substitutes went to the bench first, and the head coach of course had to go to the coach's box first.

Zhang Shujie had just walked out, and as the captain, he naturally had to go to the forefront of the team, but at this time, a person stopped him: "Zhang!"

Zhang Shujie looked back and saw that the person who shouted to him was none other than Bayern Munich's head coach, Heynckes. The Bayern meritorious veteran did not go to the coach's seat first, but deliberately waited for Zhang Shujie here.

Zhang Shujie smiled: "Sir." Then he walked over.
