Chapter 385: The head coach of the two teams who behaved abnormally
The managers of both teams can't choose to rest like their own players, and they still have a lot of chores to take care of.
Kurtz and Magath attended the pre-match press conference to express their opinions on behalf of their respective teams.
A reporter from Sport Bild asked Kurz:
"What kind of expectations do you have for this game, after all, today's opponent is Schalke 04, and Schalke 04 has fallen at the feet of your team twice in a row this season, including 0:5 such a heavy defeat, will this result give your team a greater psychological advantage in every game?"
Kurz himself showed himself to be very confident.
He said in a tone that was first suppressed and then raised: "Regarding the opponent Schalke 04 in this match, I can only say that they are very strong, or more definitely, their strength is far above us, there is no doubt about it.
In the face of such an opponent, there is no basis for judging by the historical record alone, because the time is different, and the performance of the opponent team will naturally be different, and Schalke 04 was more disturbed by the Champions League before.
But if Schalke 04 will win this game, it would be too much to take it for granted, we Kaiserslautern have never been afraid of being strong, and we came to the final of today's game, and we are not here to go through the motions, my requirements for the team are very simple, that is, we must win this game and win the championship!
Schalke 04's attack is very sharp, their forward line has a very strong striker, but also a long-established and experienced mainstay, as well as a very strong substitute, against such a team, it is impossible to win the game by blindly defending, the opponent will always find the holes in our defense and take advantage of them, so I don't think we rule out the possibility of taking the initiative in this game, so maybe there will be a greater hope of victory. ”
Kurtz's general meaning is to say, although the opponent is stronger than his own, but my generation is not scared, why not fight?!
However, Schalke 04 coach Magath showed a very low-key performance in an interview.
"Kaiserslautern has been one of our standout teams in the Bundesliga this season, and the fact that they have achieved such a great result in just one season after only being promoted to the top flight shows that they have their own way to succeed.
As we all know, we have suffered a lot against them in the league, and their frontcourt players, in the case of Ni Tu, always pose a great threat to us!
So there is no doubt that the next game will be extremely difficult and we have to be as prepared as possible to face Kaiserslautern, who are not the underdogs we imagined, on the contrary they are very strong! We have to protect the defence and not let their sharp attacks find their chances and hopefully we can get the result we want. ”
It's really a very strange thing, combining the remarks of the managers of the two teams, the relatively weak side behaves very arrogantly, while the stronger side seems to be extremely low-key, which is indeed a strange thing.
The reporters said they were very surprised, they really couldn't understand what the managers of the two teams were doing, if the two of them were adjusted, it would seem normal, although Schalke 04 did not have the upper hand in the game against Kaiserslautern, but the strength is there after all!
"This is the German Cup final, I really don't understand, is it Mr. Kurz who is drunk and pretending to be angry, or is Coach Magath too old to lift a knife?"
People prefer to believe in what they already believed, Schalke 04 is the true son of the German Cup in their hearts, and Kaiserslautern is at best a rebel who has committed trouble.
Kurtz and Magath's rhetoric went viral because it went beyond what was expected, and the public wanted to hear something new and strange, and now their eyes are temporarily shifted from the league to this final, which may not be what they expected.
Because this is a cup final, the lottery seems to be more optimistic about Schalke 04, an online platform set the initial odds at 1.6, 2.5, 3.5, and Schalke 04 also played a handicap.
Perhaps the market was not optimistic about Kaiserslautern's prospects for the final in the first place, and people did find reasons for their own opinions.
"Although you Kaiserslautern killed Schalke 04 twice in the league, but there is a reason for that, people have played against Manchester United in the Champions League, and they have focused on the Champions League, in order to prepare for the Champions League, Schalke 04 has to give up some leagues as appropriate! But now it's different, they don't have the Champions League this season, and the league performance is average, only this German Cup can be fought for, can they not be ruthless? ”
Another point is also the reason why the public is generally not optimistic about Kaiserslautern, because Kaiserslautern has already qualified for the Europa League, and his desire to win is naturally inferior to the hungry Schalke 04.
Moreover, the "Bundesliga Red Devils" squad is thin, and they have wasted too much precious energy and energy to secure a fifth-place advantage in the league, and decisive players like Ni Tu have been working almost all season except for a few injuries and absences.
"Where did Kaiserslautern get all this energy and stamina? They're not machines, they'll definitely know tired! They were still preparing for the league a week ago, and now they are simply overworked, and they have to adjust in ten days and half a month, but they don't have the time! On the contrary, Schalke 04 has been successfully relegated in May, and the preparation is naturally more sufficient! ”
In short, Kaiserslautern is dead this time! Schalke 04 must win this time!!
However, the remarks of the coaches of both sides did cause some confusion to the outside world, and everyone did not know what caused each other to be like a tune, and it seemed that Kurtz was more confident, while Magath showed a lack of confidence.
What is the reason for the "big change of personality" of the two coaches, everything can only wait until the start of the game to "reveal the truth".
People don't have to wait too long, the time is fast approaching, and as the whistle gets closer and closer, there is a frenzy in and around the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany.
Red and blue are the main colors here, they are confronting, blending, and together they create waves of people!
No matter how unusual the performances of the two teams were, the audience and the spectators in front of the television were already looking forward to the moment the whistle blew.
What kind of play will Ni Tu have in this game? Will he change his life for Kaiserslautern?
