Chapter 494: Barcelona
Heynckes seems to be taking a risk, wondering why he would occasionally include Ni Tu in the starting line-up for Champions League games, especially in the first of crucial games.
Ni Tu played almost an hour in the two legs of the quarter-finals and provided an assist, giving a decent performance, while Bayern Munich also beat the "old woman" Juventus with two scores of 2:0.
Now, Bayern Munich's semi-final opponents have finally been confirmed, and they will play Barcelona over two legs.
"The first leg between the two sides will be played at the Allianz Arena and Bayern Munich will have to find a way to get past it, and if possible, the final will be against both Bundesliga teams!"
The attention of the Champions League is too high, especially when entering the knockout round, it is basically a love and killing between some giant teams, and the duel between the giants and the giants every season will always produce some interesting things.
In the semi-finals, Bayern Munich will face Barcelona, while on the other side, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund will play a direct battle between the two league groups of the Bundesliga and La Liga.
Before the game, most people were inclined to the side of La Liga, because La Liga is a god-like presence in two football worlds called the "Spanish Super League".
Ni Tu was unexpectedly named into the team's starting lineup again, this time playing in a two-striker position, and in the middle is a role that he hasn't officially played in a long time.
The old handsome Heynckes chose Ni Tu not only for the sake of adventure, but naturally had his own considerations.
Against a team that takes the flow of passing to the extreme, Barcelona's goalkeepers are likely to have a slight technical advantage over the strikers of other teams, and if their team does not have some skilled players, it is very likely that the attack will not be smooth.
Heynckes knows that it's impossible to really compete with Barcelona on the pitch by simply stacking technical players, and Barcelona's style of play is deep in the marrow, even if it sometimes seems a bit overwhelmed, controlling for the sake of control.
The accumulation of decades is not something that anyone can directly compete with in this way.
But if Heynckes wants to learn from other teams' hard-bridged and hard-horse play, it would be unrealistic and gambling to rely entirely on a high striker like Mandzukic or Gomez for winning or losing.
In Lao Shuai's opinion, it is more risky than sending Ni Tu Mall in any case, and giving up most of his skills can be said to be self-defeating martial arts.
Ni Tu has an advantage over Müller, that is, his skills are much better, and Ni Tu's small skills are not possessed by Inzaghi in Germany.
Therefore, in the game against Barcelona, he is fortunate to team up with "Robery", and in the forward position is Gomez, who has been injured and stopped in the first half.
Such an offensive combination still looks quite imposing, but it is not without risk, and the relationship between Ni Tu and Gomez seems to have been very good, and there are concerns that the two will not form an effective connection.
For Heynckes, this is indeed a situation that he has no way to grasp, but he must take risks, and sometimes, the reason why gamblers are willing to gamble is because he knows that there is too much value in the return.
"Ni Tu has always had a good reputation in key competitions, hasn't he?"
Heynckes is not only chatting with his partner, but also like cheering himself up, the coach of the team against Barcelona will definitely face huge pressure in the game, and a match of this level, if you are not careful, you may be crushed.
"Maybe Ni Tu can once again bring unexpected gains to the team, hopefully...... I hope so. ”
It seems that the old handsome's expectations for Ni Tu are quite high!
Ni Tu has been told that he will start against Barcelona, which makes him excited that he can finally get a glimpse of the formation of some of the biggest clubs on the planet, and he is eager to get some release in such a encounter.
Yes, no one wants to hang like this all the time, thinking that they spent 20 million euros on the team to buy it, and the intermittent appearance of the whole season is really embarrassing.
"For us Chinese fans, this is about to end a season, it is a season of ups and downs, it seems that the spring of Chinese football has come, Ni Tu and Wu Xiaomu two players have joined the European giants, but we all know that these two people have nothing to do with Chinese football itself......"
National TV made a special feature because two players represented their respective teams in the semi-finals before the game, analyzing the semi-final matchups that were full of topics.
"It's not just the competition between leagues, the confrontation between giants and giants, but also the contrast between Chinese reds, the wonderful Champions League, waiting for your participation!"
Perhaps this Champions League match will get unprecedented attention at home, Ni Tu doesn't know what kind of horror level the compatriots who support him now, he is now in Germany and not in his hometown in the East, but even if he is now in distant Germany, he has heard of it to a certain extent.
Hofnog said to Ni Tu: "Now is the time for you to perform well, one game may be worth half a season's effort!" ”
It is true that no matter what, Ni Tu should fight for his full potential.
Both sides were calm in the lead-up to the game, and no one seemed willing to get out of the way, and it seemed that both sides wanted to battle it out through their performances on the field, rather than a week-long war of words.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a confrontation between "Robery" and "Habaibu", and the core lineups of both sides are biased because of the existence of one person.
Lionel Messi is undoubtedly at the heart of this matchup, and in the eyes of many, how well the king plays will directly determine the outcome of this game for Barcelona.
Although Chinese fans are looking forward to Ni Tu's appearance, to be honest, only a small part of the people who really see Ni Tu as a decisive force can be counted.
The game will start soon, and unlike a few years ago, this time Messi will be replaced by another Chinese, and Ni Tu will replace Wu Xiaomu as a reference for the Argentines in this game, if Ni Tu really has this ability.
"The Allianz Arena has a big game, the Bayern Munich fans must be praying that their team can show their great form this season, this is their home stadium, Robben and Ribery can be said to have a very heavy burden on them, I hope the two of them can bring a victory to the team!"
Leif was expecting something from the team's two big guys, and he didn't seem to have Ni Tu in mind for the decisive range.
When it comes to dealing with Ni Tu, he is really ignorant. …
