Chapter 18: Green Hollywood
Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga has always been known as the green Hollywood, because this club staging "wonderful dramas" such as intra-team quarrels and fights every day. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info put down Robben when Ram was training last year, and then Robben was directly pushed down. This year is still full of turmoil, first Van Bommel slapped the end of the season Schchuk in training, and then Muller complained that Robben was too lonely and was locked by Robben...... Recently, the two main players in the team, Ribery and Robben, had another big fight in the dressing room, because in the game against Schalke, Robben repeatedly went it alone, which made Ribery, who has 16 assists recorded, very dissatisfied.
Let's wait and see what drama there will be in the future.
However, Bayern Munich is constantly fighting, but the team's record is very good.
After knocking out Premier League giants Manchester United, Bayern Munich is finally reaching the last four of the Champions League again after nine years, and in the semi-finals, Bayern Munich will face Blackburn.
In the quarter-finals, the battle between Bayern Munich and Manchester United can be described as twists and turns. In particular, in the second leg, Manchester United led 3-0 at Old Trafford, but were eventually reduced to 3-2 by the tenacious Bayern Munich, which made Manchester United out of the Champions League with a disadvantage of fewer away goals.
Bayern Munich's tenacity was well received, but that didn't guarantee Bayern Munich a place in the final. Van Bommel wants his team to see this more clearly and not get carried away by the victory.
'We're at the top of the league and we've reached the final of the German Cup and the last four of the Champions League, but we haven't been able to get anything so far. Speaking to Bayern Munich's official website, Van Bommel said: "I have to tell my team-mates that they have to be wary of Blackburn Rovers now, which is a very difficult opponent. ”
Van Bommel will miss the first leg of Bayern Munich's match against Blackburn Rovers due to a yellow card against Manchester United. However, Van Bommel does not believe his absence will diminish Bayern Munich's hopes of qualifying.
'It's an insult,' Van Bommel said, 'I don't think it deserves a yellow card, but I have to accept it anyway. Schweinsteiger was also absent in the first leg against Manchester United and we made up for it very well because of his absence, and I don't think I will be there and I won't be able to stop us from moving forward. ”
Due to the impact of Icelandic volcanic ash, the European route is almost paralyzed, and like Barcelona to Milan by bus, Blackburn will also take three luxury buses to Germany, the whole journey is 855 kilometers, and the journey will be spent in Stuttgart for a night.
Bayern Munich, who are at home, are at ease. So far, Bayern Munich have kept their hopes of winning the treble this season. Now the Bayern Munich coach is probably most worried about Ribery, the French "scar man" is being investigated by the French police because of his involvement in the ** scandal. If Ribery is not available for tomorrow's match between the two teams, Bayern Munich's strength will inevitably be greatly affected.
In the season when Bayern Munich won the championship nine years ago, Heathfield, the champion coach at the time, said that Bayern Munich is more mature now than it was nine years ago. "We had players like Elber, Sauer and Effenberg, but now Bayern Munich has the wings of Ribery and Robben, and it's no worse than it was then. I think Bayern Munich are at least 60% sure. ”
For Blackburn, the main defender Marcos Alonso suffered a tackle on his ankle in the match against Wigan Athletic last weekend, and according to Carlo Ancelotti, there is a strong possibility that Alonso will not be able to play tomorrow morning, although this is actually just a smokescreen thrown by Blackburn.
In this game, Bayern Munich captain Van Bommel and left wing-back Situ were absent due to suspension, and Van Gaal, who came back soon after being fired by Abou, continued to discharge 4-4-2, Muller and Olic partnered in the front, in midfield, Ribery and Robben were separated on both sides, Schweinsteiger and Pranic partnered in the back, and in the backline, Demichelis and Van Bitten partnered in the center, and Lahm and Contento served as two wingbacks. Bout continued to guard the goal, with Lahm captaining the field.
Blackburn, after the last league game against Wigan Athletic, the team has reached the peak in all aspects, and Carlo Ancelotti has not made much adjustments, still in the regular 4-4-2 lineup.

The game is playing,
Bayern Munich's defense today is very targeted, their pre-game thinking is to defend Torres and Drogba like Manchester United in the English derby, and when they come to target Torres and Drogba, Blackburn's scoring ability will be wasted!
Indeed, nearly half of Blackburn's goals this season have been scored by Torres and Drogba. However, many teams want to defend Torres and Drogba, but Torres and Drogba are physically fit, and pulling back and forth in a wide range often makes the opponent's defense move back and forth, which increases the chance of leaks at the back, unless there is a strong focus on defending and relying on strong centre-backs to mark, or the overall defensive space is very tactically disciplined.
Bale received the ball and Frank Lampard simply fell to his feet before breaking diagonally down the left. Rahm immediately blocked Bale's route straight into the box, Bale was not in a hurry to break through with his speed, and nimbly played with the football with both feet, which spun under his feet like an obedient pet.
Facing Ram, Bell tentatively used his bicycle to confuse the other party, but Ram stood firmly, he knew exactly what he should do, and lowered his weight to make fake movements for Bale.
Bale was a little depressed, and the experienced Ram didn't take feints, so he decided to use his speed to force the attack.
Without any feints, Bell suddenly pushed forward with the outside of his instep, and his two long legs started quickly, and he stepped to Ram's side in just two steps.
Ram was shocked, this was the first time he was playing against Bale, and he didn't have an intuitive impression of Bale's speed before, but this sudden start, Ram immediately realized that his prediction had made some mistakes. Unable to keep up, Ram slammed his body into Bell in a very old-fashioned way to slow Bell down.
Sure enough, Ram's collision from the side and back caused Bale's steps to stumble, but the impact was not great, who called Ram such a small body?
Fortunately, Ribery, who returned from the front, was fast, overtook behind Lahm, and rushed to Bale's side to force his position with his body.
Ribery's defence was fierce, and Bale got a taste of the opponent's ferocious defence. After Ribery was in position, his arm slammed into Bell's chest with a ground-to-ground movement.
This time the forced position has blocked the route for Bale to continue to break through, but Bale will not admit defeat easily, he uses his hands and elbows to resist Ribery in turn, pushing and shoving, taking advantage of Ribery's steps to mess up the rhythm, Bale suddenly stretched out a kick, and actually hooked the football back.
Bale gritted his teeth and endured the pain, his feet were faster, his eyes were fast, and after hooking the ball back, he stuffed it straight and was assigned to the side for the first time.
After receiving the ball, Alonso and Pranicman dragged each other, forced overtaking from the outside and broke into the penalty area, and Pranic did not show weakness, and the tackle left Alonso with the ball.
Fernando Torres and Didier Drogba raised their arms in the box to signal the referee for a penalty, but the referee only glanced at it twice and ignored it, and Pranic took the opportunity to clear the ball and finally prevent Blackburn's onslaught.
With the advantage of the home field, Bayern Munich took the initiative on the field for a while in the following game, and made several consecutive combinations on the two wings, and played well, but unfortunately the final kick was a little worse and could not penetrate Cech's ten fingers.
Blackburn's passivity on the field also made Torres and Drogba helpless to continue to retreat, but the game was relatively easy, Van Bitten and Demichelis, who were responsible for marking them, had been operating at the edge of the penalty area and did not seem to care about Torres and Drogba's movement in the midfield.
Bayern Munich came close to taking the lead in the 24th minute when Franck Ribery combined with Schweinsteiger to kick the wall and burst into the right-hand side of the box with a powerful shot saved by Cech, before Muller scrambled to smash the ball wide before Muller fired in front of the six-yard box.
Lekburn's quick counter-attack, Bale pretended to break through, and the flexible dribbling at his feet made Rahm secretly bitter, Bale pretended to pass the ball to Lampard inadvertently, Lampard made a gesture to retreat, and immediately passed the ball back to Bale, and then let go of the speed and rushed to the baseline.
It was an old routine between Gareth Bale and Frank Lampard, with Bayern Munich players habitually moving towards corners on the left.
At this moment, Bale did not immediately plug the ball through, but picked up his left foot and struck the lower middle of the ball, and with a sharp and flat wide transfer, the attack was transferred to the feet of Bentley on the right side of the penalty area.
Bentley stopped Bale's pass and rushed to Bayern Munich's penalty area as soon as possible. In the face of Bayern left-back Contento, Bentley did not have any fear, the feints at his feet became more and more flexible, constantly testing Contento's flanks, and once Contento made any tendentious moves, Bentley would immediately break through in the opposite direction.
But Contento is also the main player of the Bundesliga giants after all, standing firmly in his position and not giving Bentley any chance. In the midst of the stalemate, Bale moved from the left and Frank Lampard stepped forward to meet him.
Bentley played the ball back to Frank Lampard and Pranic immediately pressed to block the route Lampard could break through. Frank Lampard also knew he wouldn't rush up to make a save, so he stopped the ball with ease, looked at his team-mates and suddenly struck a right-footed push to the left.
Pranic subconsciously raised his foot to block, but it was just a feint by Lampard, and with a swipe of Lampard's left foot, the ball changed direction and drilled between Pranic's legs.
After Frank Lampard broke through Pranic quickly, he was about to shoot a long shot before running into the box in the middle, and no one in world football did not know the power of the Blue Devil's long-range shot, Schweinsteiger hurriedly turned his back and blocked it with his back.
It was just that Frank Lampard suddenly turned into a short ball, and the ball went straight to Torres and Drogba, who had left off their opponents to mark their opponents and cut straight into the box.
The ball flew into the box and Van Bitten and goalkeeper Boutzi came out to block the ball, but Torres was the first to touch the ball between the two. With a flick of Torres' long legs, the ball flew towards the back of Bout's head.
Although Bout was criticized by many fans, he was also quite strong to be able to sit firmly in Bayern's main force, only to see Bout jump bravely, leaning back and stabbing the football with his fingers, the speed of the football was suddenly slowed down a lot, hitting the goal crossbar and rebounding back into the penalty area.
Just when the hearts of Bayern Munich fans were relieved, a blue and white figure suddenly rushed out of front of the Bayern Munich goal and ran into the goal - Drogba, who was near the goal, quickly stepped forward when Torres picked the goal, and the Ivorian monster who was about to shoot saw the rebounding football and shook his head smartly, and the football jumped over Bout who fell to the ground and flew into the goal from the center of the empty goal.
The ball is in!
1:0!
Didier Drogba was the first to break the deadlock for Blackburn, 1:0!
The situation on the pitch immediately changed, and it was clear that Bayern Munich could not easily concede defeat at home, or even a draw, and they soon changed their tactics and fought fiercely up front.
Frank Lampard makes a tackle at the back and passes straight to Torres up front. Before Torres could catch the ball, Demichelis behind him crashed into Torres's body, Torres was caught off guard and stumbled, but Torres quickly stabilized his footing and grabbed the football first.
But as soon as he turned around with the ball, Bayern Munich rushed up alone. Van Bitten rushed up fiercely and fought hard with Torres, Torres and Van Bitten collided together, Torres gritted his teeth and knocked Van Biteng away, and he wanted to change the line to break through with the ball at his feet, but Van Bitten used his scissor leg hard and tripped Torres to the ground with a kick.
Torres is only physically better than the average footballer, but he does not have the perverted level of his teammate Drogba, and Bayern Munich's successive fouls have left Torres devastated and lying on the ground for a while.
Under Frank Lampard's leadership, five players on the pitch surrounded the referee, constantly complaining and protesting to the referee.
Sure enough, the protests worked.
The referee showed Van Bitten a yellow card, ignored Van Bitten's protests, called Lahm to his side and gave him a few warnings. (To be continued.) )
