707 Who Will Win?
Morning, Sebena training base in Munich. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
An Audi with a familiar license plate sped from a distance, slowly stopped at the entrance of the training base, rolled down the side window of the driver's car, and looked at the security guard who was standing and saluting him with a smile like the first sunshine in the morning.
"Good morning. ”
"Good morning, Mr. Gao Han, I didn't expect you to come today. ”
"The team battle is coming, and I can't rest assured. ”
After politely replying to the security guard, Gao Han waved again and drove into the training base.
Just after he stopped, when he got out of the car, he saw another car coming in at the gate, and it was assistant coach Thomas Tuchel.
The other party seemed to be a little surprised when he saw Gao Han, so he rolled down the window to say hello, and then parked the car in the parking space.
"I thought you wouldn't be here today. Thomas Tuchel laughed as he got out of the car.
He's an assistant coach, and if Gao Han doesn't come, he's going to be in charge of this morning's recovery training.
This is also the consistent arrangement of Gao Han's coaching.
Although there were no midweek games this week, as is customary, there was a day off as usual, but this morning there was still a recovery session to adjust the physical condition of the players and also to sum up yesterday afternoon's game.
Thomas Tuchel is a good helper, he has helped Gao Han deal with many things in the past, and this time Gao Han took a leave of absence, he also took on the role of acting head coach.
"You also saw it last night, our four old people are guarding in the hospital, and there is nothing wrong with me at all, and they even drove me to sleep directly last night, and they didn't even let me hold my son, you say, what's the use of me keeping it?" Gao Han said with a smile.
He and Lin Xia are both only children, and the two pairs of elders in the family are extremely fond of the third generation, and they take care of Lin Xia meticulously, but it is Gao Han, who is black-eyed about this, and is criticized for being rough at every turn, and Lin Xia is a smooth birth, after sleeping last night, he has been a lot of energy this morning, so he urged Gao Han to come to work.
"Alright, alright, I know you're happy. Thomas Tuchel laughed.
The two joked and walked side by side in the direction of the first team's training building.
At this time, there were already a lot of people at the Sebena base, the breakfast room was open, and the staff who cleaned and maintained the site also came to work early, so the two kept meeting acquaintances along the way, and people kept congratulating Gao Han.
When I came to the breakfast room, as usual, I ordered a breakfast, and the two ate face to face.
"Thomas, you go back and give me the report and the video of yesterday's game, I have time to look at it. "As soon as Gao Han talks about work, he becomes very serious.
"Okay, I'll get back to you right away. ”
Gao Han nodded, continued to eat breakfast, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, how was the Barcelona game?"
'They were at home to Huelva this week, but the performance was average, Iniesta scored in the first minute, but after that they couldn't extend the score, and it was only in the second half that they made it 2-0 with an own goal, which I don't think was ideal. ”
"Is there any manpower on Dremler's side to watch the game?" Gao Han asked with concern.
Wolfgang Dremler, the head of Bayern Munich's scouting team, had communicated with him earlier, asking him to arrange scouts to follow Barcelona games and submit a report for each game.
"I think there is, but I'll have to ask again. ”
I only finished the game last night, and I want to report it early this morning, which must be unrealistic, and Gao Han himself is not that kind of emergency, so he is not in a hurry.
'If I'm not mistaken, Barcelona didn't play in midweek either, they travel to Madrid to face Getafe at the weekend and the next week it's a double game with two La Liga games. ”
"Well, yes, after Getafe, we played Sevilla at home in midweek, then we played Valencia away, and after we played the Batsoldiers, we played in the semi-finals of the Champions League, where we played away and then home. Thomas Tuchel remembers it well.
Gao Han is very familiar with La Liga, and these three teams are not easy to play.
Recently, the Catalonia region where Barcelona is located is fighting for independence, which has caused protests throughout Spain, so many people have vented this sentiment on Barcelona.
Getafe is a team in Madrid, and it is certain to be dead when it meets Barcelona, Sevilla and Valencia are both strong, and Barcelona will fight continuously, and the physical consumption will be not small.
Bayern Munich also has to play in the middle of next week, the semifinals of the German Cup, but the opponent is Mainz, and it is still at home, as for the two opponents in the league, Schalke 04 and Eintracht Frankfurt are both playing at home, and the strength of these two teams this season is not strong, Gao Han can use the rotation lineup to play these games.
As for the main force, it is to prepare for Barcelona with all its might.
"Thomas, for the next three races, I need you and Sergio to run for me. ”
"Tracking the Barcelona game?" Thomas Tuchel knows a bit.
Gao Han nodded, "The current situation in La Liga is very tense, Guardiola will definitely go all out, these three games will be the best way for us to get acquainted with and understand them, and I have also asked Sergio to collect the video of Barcelona's games this season, and then we will focus on this team." ”
Tuchel was puzzled, 'But didn't we just play them before the season?'
He still remembers that before that game, Gao Han also made enough preparations, collected a lot of materials, and even arranged for someone to follow the warm-up match in Barcelona.
"It was before the season, Thomas, the football game is changing rapidly, their pre-season tactics, it doesn't mean that they will continue to be used until now, and with the deepening of the schedule, many of the problems exposed before the season may have been improved now, and many of the problems that were not there before may have been exposed now. ”
Thomas Tuchel nodded, having followed Gao Han for two seasons, and of course knew that Gao Han's style of action was meticulous pre-match preparation, and he knew almost everything about his opponent.
"Then I'll arrange it, I'll follow these three games. ”
If it weren't for Lin Xia giving birth to a child during this time, Gao Han would even follow him by himself, because many things can only be confirmed if he sees them with his own eyes.
It's just that now, he will definitely not be able to withdraw in a short period of time, and it would be good to be able to travel for two days and play away from home.
"Also, you tell Dremle and ask him to arrange for someone to follow Manchester United. ”
"Manchester United?" Thomas Tuchel was a little surprised.
But soon, the Germans were relieved.
Indeed, Manchester United's two games in the quarter-finals were too impressive, especially the spirit shown by the Red Devils, which was truly impressive.
Judging from the situation in the Champions League semifinals, Bayern Munich is slightly inferior to Barcelona, but with Gao Han in charge, the chances of winning are greater, and it can even be said that it is the favorite, and the upper half is Atletico Madrid against Manchester United, and the two teams are unpredictable.
Heynckes and Alex Ferguson are both veterans of European football, both of whom are very experienced, and on the cards, they are also evenly matched, but if you look at the performance in the quarter-finals, Manchester United undoubtedly have more fighting spirit and desire to win.
Of course, the game hasn't been played yet, and it's hard to say who will win or lose.
It's just that Tuchel is full of curiosity, Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid, Ferguson vs Heynckes, who will win?
…………
…………
Although Gao Han returned to the team, every player was very excited to see him.
However, as the previous day's race was not directed by Gao Han, Thomas Tuchel and Sergio Garcia were the winners of the wrap-up meeting, with Gao Han in charge.
After the morning training, the team ushered in a day of vacation.
At the weekend, Bayern Munich hosted Schalke 04.
Gao Han played with a half-main and half-substitute lineup according to his previous arrangement, and finally defeated Schalke 04 1-0 with Robben's goal in the 21st minute.
However, at the end of the 70 minutes, Schalke 04 midfielder Jones was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards, but just six minutes later, Ribery also received a second yellow card and was sent off.
After the game, Gao Han objected to the second red card, thinking that the referee's decision was somewhat balanced.
While Bayern Munich defeated Schalke 04, Barcelona played very hard against Getafe away from home, and if it wasn't for Messi's killer goal, Barcelona might not have been able to get out of the way.
At the other venue, the Premier League was suspended for the weekend due to the FA Cup, and Manchester United hosted Everton in the FA Cup semi-finals, only for Ferguson's side to be held to a tight defence by Everton, and after 90 minutes of play, the two sides ended in a 0-0 draw.
But in the final penalty shoot-out, United withstood the pressure and won the FA Cup 4-2.
After winning the FA Cup, Manchester United ushered in two more home games, beating Portsmouth 2-0 and Tottenham Hotspur 5-2, playing a rare excellent form.
In La Liga, Barcelona returned to the Camp Nou and beat Sevilla 4-0 at home, but in the weekend's game, it was Valencia who drew 2-2 away.
Yes, it was Barcelona who held Valencia to a draw.
Messi started the first half, but just before the end, Maduro and Hernandez scored twice in three minutes to put the score in the lead, and Barcelona did not score until the 87th minute of the second half.
In the end, the two sides played to a 2-2 draw.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, defeated Schalke 04 after returning from the high cold, and then beat Mainz 4-1 in the semi-finals of the German Cup in midweek to successfully advance to the German Cup final.
In the other German Cup semi-final match, Werder Bremen drew 1-1 with Hamburg, but eventually eliminated Hamburg 3-1 on penalties and met Bayern Munich in the final.
In the Bundesliga at the weekend, Bayern Munich hosted Eintracht Frankfurt.
Just three minutes into the game, Klose set up Ribery to open the scoring for Bayern Munich.
In the seventeenth minute, Ribery reciprocated the favor by assisting Klose to score and extend the score to 2-0.
In the 36th minute, Bayern Munich had a corner kick opportunity, and Modric took the corner kick and assisted Lucio to score a goal to make it 3-0.
After the break, Gao Han replaced two players in one go, actively saving for the Champions League semi-final in midweek.
Just three minutes into the second half, Toni Kroos' goal sealed the win for Bayern Munich.
In the end, the Bundesliga giants beat Eintracht Frankfurt 4-0.
And after this game, the much-anticipated Champions League semifinals are finally here.
