Chapter 585: Champions League Semi-Final (1)

So the next league game is very crucial, if Bayern Munich can win Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Werder Bremen can't win in the league, then Bayern Munich will win the league eight rounds in advance, and if Werder Bremen can win, Bayern Munich can only win the championship seven rounds in advance.

However, before this league game, Bayern Munich will travel to England for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, which will be more challenging than that league game.

Anyway, in Fan Shang's heart, he feels that this Bundesliga champion is basically in his hands, but the Champions League must be fought for.

Claudio Ranieri is a typical Italian manager, believing in the credo of making fewer mistakes and taking advantage of opponents' mistakes, based on defense and scrambling, and relatively passive dogma in attack. To be honest, he and Fan Shang's thinking is actually similar, but Fan Shang is more aggressive than Ranieri in counterattacking, and the players used by Fan Shang are all well-known players, so there is such a big gap between the two results.

However, Ranieri has a good ability to quickly knead the team, why is he called "tinker", that is, after taking over a new ball every time, Ranieri can only build the team in a short period of time, of course, it is the type of defensive counterattack.

Chelsea continues to use Ranieri to coach is really the right choice, this summer Chelsea with the support of Abramovich ruble, it is simply a whole new team, and only Ranieri can make the team quickly become effective in the first year of taking over, of course, except for Fan Shang, if Fan Shang is the champion, he will definitely not run.

Even so, the current Chelsea fans are actually quite satisfied, if it weren't for Arsenal's rebelliousness this year, so far undefeated in the league, then it is really not necessarily the current Premier League leader.

However, Chelsea did not let Arsenal be arrogant in the Champions League, and in the quarterfinals, it was Chelsea who eliminated Arsenal over two legs to enter the semi-finals, which can be regarded as revenge in the league.

Bayern Munich's recent schedule is really tight, not to mention this Champions League, after the Champions League is over, they will return to Germany to play a round of league games, and there will be a German Cup semi-final in the middle of the week after the league, the interesting thing is that the opponents of these two games are the same team, Borussia Mönchengladbach, it is estimated that they will become the second team after Hamburg to be killed by Bayern Munich on multiple fronts.

This is the game that Bayern Munich will complete in these seven days, and Vincent has entered the annual devil's schedule stage, but Vincent is definitely a painful happiness, because it means that the team has the possibility of winning championships in many competitions, and many people are envious of it.

However, Vincent is still familiar with this kind of schedule, starting from Bordeaux except for the time when he led the French national team, the other teams have to have a period at this time, Bordeaux was a lot of games at that time, a month or even a month and a half of a week of double matches, and the French Football Association in order to cooperate with the Champions League to adjust the game time.

Now Bayern Munich's little difficulty is nothing at all in front of Vincent.

Therefore, Vincent will definitely not keep his hands when he plays against Chelsea, and will definitely send all the main players.

The weather in London in April is quite good, at least there is a lot less rain, and the weather is relatively warmer, not as wet and cold as winter.

Chelsea has no advantage in the climate now, Chelsea's home stadium Stamford Bridge is also an old stadium, but it has been repaired several times, and now it is relatively advanced, Vincent has actually played here, and there is no problem with the venue at all, but the British stadium fans are too close to the stadium, I don't know if these German players will not be used to it, especially the non-stop abuse in the game, you must know that the German English is quite six.

At this level of the Champions League semi-finals, there is basically no stumbling between opponents, Bayern Munich's stepping on the field in London, training and rest are all going well, and Chelsea is also handling it quite properly.

Vincent has nothing to blame and believes that Bayern Munich will be as suitable as Chelsea did when he returns to Munich.

Ranieri is not a man of many words, and Fan Shang will not make any remarks before the game as long as his strength is not too much inferior to the opponent, unless the opponent comes up to provoke first.

So the heat of this game really didn't reach the height of a Champions League semi-final, even if it was a conversation between two strong teams, it wasn't hyped up that Mars hit the earth.

So the limelight of this match was suppressed by the other semi-final, Manchester United and Deportivo La Coruna. Why, the attention of other people's games is higher than here, who let Ferguson's big hair dryer continue to blow, coupled with the media hype, the attention of that game has gone up like this.

However, the two teams should be attacking each other, and the game between Bayern Munich and Chelsea should be a battle between two defensive counter-attacking teams if nothing else, because Vincent himself will not attack first, and according to Ranieri's conservative nature, he will not come up to risk attacking, and it is not surprising that this game will be a dull game.

After looking at the starting lineups of the two teams, Fan Shang was even more sure of this matter, and both teams used the 451 formation at the same time.

For Chelsea, goal: Cudicini, four defenders, Gallas, John Terry, Desailly and Bridge, five midfielders, Duff, Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele, Parker and Petit, striker Crespo.

Bayern Munich, goalkeeper Kahn, back four, Lizarazu, Metzelde, Kufuor and Sagnol, five midfielders, Franck Ribery, Ze Roberto, Ballack, Jeremes and Robben, striker Batistuta.

Both teams are also defensive counterattacks, Chelsea's is much more conservative than Bayern Munich's, it can be seen from their midfield, five midfielders, four are midfielders, especially Petit's play, he is old this year, in fact, his position in the team is unstable, but in this kind of game that needs to fight defense, Ranieri still put him on the field, which proves that Ranieri really attaches too much importance to this game, and he doesn't want Chelsea to concede goals.

Fan Shang is relatively better, at least both wings are on the field. Another interesting thing is that this game is a competition between Argentina's new and old strikers, Batistuta and Crespo, which belong to the inheritance relationship, and who can score first today is also a highlight.
