Chapter 076 Gua Shuai stirs his liver fire for no reason
When Zhuo Yang walked into the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, he was not cheered by the audience. It's been four years since he left the Bundesliga, and the horrific memories he once left here are fading, and football is the Rhine that flows forever forward, and time washes everything.
Especially when he 'turned his back' on Germany and chose to return to the Chinese national team the year before last, his relationship with him here began to become shallow. Except for the scorching favor that can still be received in Hannover, in other cities, Zhuo Yang is just a superstar in the past.
The same is true in the city of Stuttgart, where people may simply be grateful for the curse that Zhuo Yang threw at the head coach back then.
In February 2006, under the curse of 'Zhuo Yang', Italian gold medal veteran Trapattoni stepped down, and the little-known Alminfer took over. No one expected that in the following 06-07 season, Alminfeld's Stuttgart beat Bayern, Bremen, Schalke and Madiburg to the Bundesliga throne in one fell swoop.
It was the only flashpoint of Coach Alminfeld's coaching career, and he hasn't shone since. In November 2008, Alminfe was sacked due to poor results, and the famous full-back Marcus Babel, who had just retired in Stuttgart a year earlier, took over.
Stuttgart finished fourth last season and qualified for this season's Champions Cup, but Babbel was sacked after a nine-game winless run in the Bundesliga, and now Stuttgart is coached by Swiss Christian Gross.
Gross didn't improve much since he took over, and at one point they were in the relegation zone, but fortunately, they were already in ninth place before they welcomed Barcelona.
But it was precisely this ninth that made Guardiola angry with the whole team yesterday.
In fact, Gua Shuai's fire is a little inexplicable, because no one despises Stuttgart. When Gua Shuai analyzed the tactics of the team, he was intoxicated with passionate emotions.
"Why do you underestimate that others are ninth? What happened to the ninth? Don't think that Barcelona's unbeaten league run and six consecutive wins in Germany is remarkable! ”
The Barcelona players said in their hearts: Yo, we have won six in a row, we are so awesome! You don't remind us that we forgot.
When they boarded the plane and left Barcelona, the Barcas were thrilled with a big home win over Racing Santander, a free-kick and icebreaker.
Thierry Henry scored his first goal of 2010 from a free-kick and centre-back Marcos netted his first goal of the season. Zhuo Yang's free kick was the icing on the cake, and Xiaobai scored his first goal in La Liga this season.
In the 83rd minute, 19-year-old midfielder Thiago received a pass from Messi after breaking through, shot hard at the leg of the central defender and scored the goal, which was his first goal in the Barcelona first team.
This Thiago is very interesting, he was born in Italy, his father Mazinho was the main midfielder of the 1994 World Cup-winning Brazilian team, and it was Mazinho who danced the cradle dance with Romario and Bebeto in the TV classic. Thiago himself is a Spain Under-15-19 international. He also had a brother, who was two years younger, also in La Masia, named Raphinha.
Guardiola continued to angrily rebuke: "You have no right to underestimate the enemy!" ”
We didn't underestimate the enemy, did we?
"The Stuttgart strikers are very impactful!"
We know!
"If anyone thinks they can easily beat Stuttgart away from home, get out of here now!!"
Everyone looks at each other, you look at me, I look at you. I don't understand what Gua Shuai is about, and I don't dare to ask.
Perhaps it was because of Real Madrid's careless away capsizing on the previous match day that Guardiola's head was tightened, and the pressure of the Champions League knockout round was not trivial.
Real Madrid lost 1-0 to Lyon at the Stade Gerrain yesterday, how hot was the game? Kaka, who has always been a gentleman on the court, not only almost got into a fight with Marcon, but also kicked Tulalang's arm to the point of blood, and even reprimanded his teammate Diarra on the field.
Too much pressure, too much pressure!
In fact, Stuttgart won the championship in 06 with a lot of luck, the departure of Zhuo Yang and Ballack, the duo of Madiburg and Bayern fell into a slump because of the loss of the core, and the whole year's league was led by Schalke 04 and Bremen one after another, alternating leads, but the last laugh was Stuttgart, who only stayed at the top of the table for only three rounds.
That year, Madiburg loaned young defender Tashcher to Stuttgart and sold rising midfield star Khedira to them.
Khedira actually came from the Stuttgart academy, and he angrily defected to Madiburg because of the unwarranted suppression of the echelon coach, and later in order to develop better, it became inevitable to return to Stuttgart, which was eager for talents.
Under the six musketeers are the four young men of the peninsula, and now they are all working hard all over the rivers and lakes, plus trolls, potatoes, stammering, tsars, Dionysus, Jesus, Xiao Song, etc., the football 'Madibao Gang' has begun to become a climate.
"Brother Zhuo, Pompon said he didn't want to stay in Milan anymore, you know?" Khedira asked Zhuo Yang.
"He told me. Alas, this kid has been a bit emotional lately, and I advise him to take another look, and don't worry about it yet. ”
Pompong is not very comfortable at AC Milan, his fellow countryman, coach Leonardo does not appreciate his style, the central defenders are more focused on Nesta and Tissy, and he is also a substitute at right wing-back, so it is strange that Pompong can be happy.
Zhuo Yang advised Peng Peng to wait, and he learned from Barbara that Leonardo would definitely leave this summer, and Milan had secretly searched for a new coach.
AC Milan lost 3-2 at home to Manchester United at San Siro yesterday, without Cristiano Ronaldo, without Grandpa Mo or even without Anderson.
"What about you? Is it decided? Zhuo Yang asked Khedira.
As soon as Khedira returned to Stuttgart, he was the main force of the team's midfield at the age of 20 and became a major contributor to Stuttgart's victory that year. As soon as the TV camera gave a close-up, it was the big face of Khedira, who was taking the ball, so he was nicknamed 'face brother'.
Since winning the championship that year, Stuttgart has gradually withered, and it is estimated that it will take a reincarnation to be so brilliant again. For the face brother who has achieved great strength and seen the scenery, it is difficult to strengthen himself by continuing to stay only by feelings, and it is difficult for Stuttgart's small cage to fit the eagle of Khedira.
"In the summer, when the World Cup is over, I'll think about it carefully." That being said, the meaning is that summer is definitely leaving, but the exact place to go has not yet been decided.
Khedira has become the main force in the German midfield, as long as there are no injuries and no huge dip in form, he will be determined to drive South Africa in the summer. Germany are one of the favourites to win the World Cup this summer, and Khedira and others have been trying to be consistent this season, all for the World Cup. The depression in Pengpeng's heart is also worried about not having a ticket.
Stuttgart was able to fight out of the Champions League group, mainly because of good character, the strength and weakness in Group G, Stuttgart and Sevilla were pre-'guaranteed' before they played. But the round of 16 bumped into Barcelona head-on, and before they played, everyone knew that they were more than lucky.
Or can Pep Guardiola become a famous coach? He was right, as Stuttgart continued to beat Barcelona to the ground and the game was thin.
