According to the rules of the German League Cup, the first knockout round was scheduled to be held in a neutral stadium, and Bayern Munich's match against Werder Bremen was arranged at the LTU stadium in Dusseldorf. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although it was only a German League Cup, this match attracted thousands of fans.

According to the information provided by the organizers, on the first day of ticket sales, more than 50,000 tickets were sold out, and even many fans who could not get tickets were looking for scalpers everywhere to ask for a ticket.

This is not only a matchup between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen, but also Gao Han's first official game in charge of the Bundesliga.

The match was scheduled for the afternoon, and from the morning onwards, fans from all over Germany and Europe flocked to Düsseldorf and gathered around the LTU Arena.

In the past half month, there has not been much news about Bayern Munich and Alpine.

After spending a transfer budget of 100 million euros in a row, Bayern Munich is still cleaning a group of redundant players in the transfer market, streamlining the team's squad configuration, and saving the team's expenses.

The only information that fans and the media know is that Gao Han led the team to Donaueu Schengen for training, and played two warm-up games, one was a 6-0 victory, but the second was only a 1-0 win.

According to media reporters who went to watch the game, the first game was played very well, but it basically continued Bayern Munich's traditional style of play, but the second game changed a lot, adopting a more proactive high-pressing pass-and-control play, but the effect was not ideal.

The opponents in both games were not strong, and Bayern Munich won as a matter of course, but the performance in the second game was not satisfactory, which also led many people to worry about whether Gao Han would be able to get out of the way by challenging Werder Bremen in the first game.

In addition to attracting fans, the game also attracted many veterans and celebrities of German football.

Bayern Munich's Big Three gathered in Fortuna Dusseldorf to oversee the team's first official match of the new season.

Before entering the court, the Big Three were interviewed by media reporters, and they all expressed their confidence in Gao Han and believed that he could bring different changes to the team.

In addition to the Bayern Munich Big Three, the German Football Association also arranged for many people to come to the scene, and the national team head coach Loew also came to watch the game in person.

"Hehe, you're here too, Juachim. ”

On the rostrum, as soon as Loew saw the Bayern Munich Big Three, he immediately greeted him, and Beckenbauer was also very happy to see the national team coach, and several people greeted him eagerly in the stands.

"Mr. Gao Han's first official game, I definitely want to watch. Loew smiled and explained his purpose.

"Moreover, I have long been interested in the several youngsters he has promoted and brought in, and I was curious to hear that he promoted Hummels to the main position, and I also heard that he has transformed Lahm and Schweinsteiger into a central midfielder, so I want to see it even more. ”

At present, the midfield of the German national team is also very lacking in this kind of organizational players, especially after Schneider and other players retired, although there is Ballack, but more players like Kyle and Frijns, which are somewhat inconsistent with Loew's team strategy.

According to Loew's idea, he still wants to be able to play more active passing.

And now, Gao Han's coaching at Bayern Munich is undoubtedly opening the way for him.

'Lahm played a group game and I heard he was doing well, but he soon went back to left-back and Schweinsteiger was fixed, but the performance was mediocre and we were a little worried. Beckenbauer's face was grim.

They are very aware of Gao Han's preferences, and they also know Gao Han's coaching philosophy, which is precisely the reason why they invited Gao Han to coach, but everyone knows that the most scarce thing in European football today is the organizational back, because this has become the standard for strong teams and the target of giant teams.

But Loew didn't seem to be worried, "I don't think so, Mr. Gao Han has always been very accurate in seeing people, and he has his own ideas for employing people, since he uses Schweinsteiger, then he must have his ideas, let's take a good look." ”

Everyone also thinks that this is the truth.

However, Thomas Schaff is a well-known attacking maniac in German football, and his Werder Bremen team has always been the most attacking team in the Bundesliga.

Gao Han faced Schaaf in his first official game, and the team had just regrouped, so it was difficult to say whether he would win or lose.

…………

…………

In fact, the course of the game also confirmed the speculation of the outside world.

Bayern Munich has just regrouped, although it has been training for two weeks, but the players are still relatively unfamiliar with each other, coupled with the new football concept brought by the high cold, almost all the players are still adapting, which makes Bayern Munich play a bad start.

Instead, it was Werder Bremen who took full advantage of Bayern Munich's weakness and created a shot on goal in the opening two minutes.

When the game reached the ninth minute, Schweinsteiger did not follow the opponent for the first time, Borowski passed diagonally to the right, Fritz inserted the ball and shook off Lyle, passed to the goal, Borowski stepped in, grabbed ahead of Lucio, grabbed the point and scored, opening the scoring for Werder Bremen.

The goal also boosted the morale of Werder Bremen.

Every one of their players knows very well that this game is against Gao Han, and as long as they can beat Gao Han, then what awaits them will be a fight to become famous.

And Gao Han also knows very well that the start is unfavorable and the game is not good.

"Bastian. Gao Han walked to the sideline and shouted.

Schweinsteiger, who was on the pitch, turned his head and saw the head coach waving towards him, and immediately ran out quickly.

"You're too nervous, take it easy, you should have followed just now. ”

Schweinsteiger nodded, he knew he had made a mistake, "I'm worried I'm going to get too far out of position." ”

He has never played in this position alone, which makes him a little confused, especially in the official game, when the opponent is so shocked, he is a little confused.

"Don't worry, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you should think about it, you still have a Van Bommel in front of you, he will protect you. ”

Piglet nodded vigorously, "I understand how to do it." ”

"Remember, stay calm, keep the ball under control, if you're not sure, try to pass as little as you can forward, more to the sides and behind you, what I'm asking of you at this stage is to pass the ball consistently and transition. ”

Schweinsteiger nodded, "I see." ”

"Go ahead. Gao Han patted him on the back and sent him back to the court.

But Gao Han did not retreat, but shouted at Modric on the field, signaling the Croatian midfielder to be more active, to be active in getting the ball and asking for the ball, and Van Bommel should actively press the opponent and protect the midfield.

When he had done this, he slowly retreated, but exhaled heavily.

"Van Bommel is too tall and not flexible enough. Cantarero said.

These words hit the nail on the head with a pinpoint to the problems in the Dutch midfield.

Van Bommel has a clear advantage in attacking action, he was the team's third-leading scorer last season, and he can defend later, but his height of 1.87 meters and his age make it difficult for him to put constant pressure on opponents in this position in midfield.

"Look at it again, and if it really doesn't work, put Schweinsteiger on top and let Lahm play in the back. Gao Han also had a countermeasure, thinking that he was still very satisfied with the result of the group match in which Lahm played in the back.

As for Vidal, who he is also quite optimistic about, he has not yet returned to the team, and it is not very clear what the situation is.

After thinking about it, Gao Han still entered the coaching system.

"Start using a five-star passing card, target: Schweinsteiger. ”

"Start with a five-star assist card, target: Luka Modric. ”

"The combo card effect was successfully activated, and the ball was passed without fail. ”

…………

…………

I don't know if Werder Bremen relaxed the pressing of Bayern Munich's midfield after taking the lead, or Gao Han's adjustment was working, all the people who knew how to analyze the situation on the scene gradually found that the Bundesliga giant's midfield and backfield passes began to gradually become smoother.

Schweinsteiger was a little slow and hesitant to pass the ball, but now he plays very concisely and efficiently, often receiving the ball with one foot and hitting the ball with the other, and players such as Modric, Van Bommel, Hummels, Lucio and Lahm have also begun to move around Schweinsteiger.

"Okay, take your time, that's all, don't rush, control the ball first, steady the rhythm. ”

In the stands, Loew heard Gao Han's call.

It doesn't sound like he's trying to hide it from anyone, including his rival Schaf.

As Schweinsteiger gradually stepped into the role, coupled with teammates around him at all times, Bayern Munich's midfield and midfield control gradually became smoother, and Werder Bremen tried to come out and press several times to no avail.

But it was in the 24th minute that really changed the game.

Luka Modric dropped back to meet Schweinsteiger and when he received the ball with his back to the attack, Frings followed closely behind him.

But just when the Croatian received the ball, he suddenly made a sharp stop and turned to get rid of it, and after shaking off Frijns, he suddenly rushed forward with the ball.

The sudden change took everyone in the stadium by surprise and shocked the fans in the stands.

I saw Modric take a few steps forward, in front of the defender close, a diagonal pass to the right side, Ribery received the ball on the right side, faced the opponent's defender one-on-one, crossed the ball, suddenly accelerated, shook off the defender and crossed with his right foot, and hoisted the ball into the penalty area.

Klose grabbed the most powerful position early and headed home from close range.

However, Werder Bremen's goalkeeper Wiese blocked the ball with one hand at the crucial moment, but the ball did not fly out, Van Bommel cut in from behind, and near the goal line, directly with his forehead to push the ball into the goal.

The referee's whistle sounded for the goal, and the whole audience cheered!

One-to-one!

Everyone on the pitch rushed to Van Bommel to celebrate his goal.

On the sidelines, Gao Han was also full of surprises, because Van Bommel reacted very quickly to this stop-up shot.

In fact, the Dutchman should have been on the lookout for Wiese to make a save, so even if the ball flew straight out at the time, he would have been able to fight before anyone else could hit the goal.

Of course, if you want to go back to the credit, Modric's escape and push, Ribery's forced breakthrough, are quite good.

'Okay, that's it, keep the rhythm and keep playing like that. Gao Han applauded and shouted from the sidelines.

After the equaliser, Bayern Munich's players clearly became more confident.
