Chapter 577: Cold Moscow
Moscow was actually as cold as Fan Shang thought, and only when it came here did he know what it was. It's not enough to see the northeast of the Celestial Empire here.
After getting off the plane, the team hurriedly got on the bus, got off the bus and hurried into the hotel, and entered the house, which was absolutely cold and fire outside.
The rest of the game is not important, the important thing is two points, concede less balls, don't get hurt, this is what Fan Shang said to the players after stepping on the field.
There was no snow or anything when I stepped on the field, the field was hard, the soil on the ground was frozen, and it was said that it would snow on the day of the race, and the situation would definitely be worse than now.
To be honest, the overall strength of Lokomotiv Moscow is not very strong, as far as Fan Shang is concerned, there is no rival in the same city, CSKA Moscow is strong, but their home record is very good, in the group stage, they relied on the excellent performance of the home team to beat Inter Milan to get the second place in the group and get the right to qualify.
So Fan Shang had to be extra careful when he arrived at the home of this locomotive in Moscow. Of course, Fan Shang complained before the game, "I think UEFA should limit these players who are close to the Arctic Circle, and don't hold games here in winter, this kind of stadium does not need players to collide, as long as they fall to the ground, it is estimated that there is no need to use force to break a bone." ”
Many managers of continental European teams agree with Vincent's complaints, and they have also suffered losses in the freezing weather of Russia. But UEFA has no voice, to be honest they can't change it at all, the home-and-away system, can you not let the family play at home? So it's better to respond than to be silent.
However, Platini still called Vincent and told him not to talk nonsense, his words made UEFA ugly, so maybe there were any more draws or referee arrangements that could be unfavorable to Vincent.
"With such a small belly, didn't you just tell the truth!" Fan Shang was a little helpless, but it's okay, the draw has passed, and the referee? The story of Italy and the shamelessness of Real Madrid, the rest are really pediatrics in front of Fan Shang.
The weather on the day of the race was really calculated by the weather forecast, and it began to snow in the morning, although the snow stopped at noon, but the snow on the field was no joke.
Fan Shang said in the words that he learned from books since he was a child, that is a scene of a bumper harvest, why? "Ruixue Mega Year". However, the game can't be kicked in the snow, so the staff began to clean up the field as soon as the snow stopped, and the snow was shoveled out of the field until the afternoon game started, but the stadium was still not green, it was still white.
No way, the game can't be canceled because of this kind of thing, so it still has to be done on time. Today's game ball has been changed from ordinary black and white to orange, which is so conspicuous that the players may not be able to see the ball.
Today, all the players of Bayern Munich basically wore a tights first, and then put on the jersey, so that they could keep a little warmer, it was too cold.
The same pre-match ceremony, both teams are wrapped like bread, no one can be stupid to wear shorts and stand in the ice and snow to listen to the theme song of the Champions League, even the referee is the same.
Although Fan Shang still used the 451 formation in this game, but the selection of players was very cautious, those with glass physique, those who were easily injured were taken down by Fan Shang, Fan Shang put on the field in this game are tough guys, and there are also older ones who are also hidden by Fan Shangxue, if they are injured, young people still recover faster.
So Fan Shang's lineup today basically belongs to the use of a few main forces to pull most of the substitutes in the game, today's Bayern Munich starters are: goalkeeper, Kahn, four defenders, Lahm, Link, Kovac, Sagnol, five midfielders, Ballack, Jeremes, Schweinsteiger, Salihamidzic, Ze Roberto, forward Ziegler.
Today's Fan Shang's requirements are much simpler, that is, defense, offense or anything else, as long as Fan Shang concedes as little as possible in this game, he will be satisfied. Ze Roberto played the role of a full-back, and Ribeiro still looks a little fragile now, so Fan Shang didn't dare to let them play, so he used the combination of Salihamidzic and Ze Roberto, and the striker is Ziegler's durable center forward, which is the most suitable.
As soon as Bayern Munich began to shrink, waiting for the Moscow locomotives to attack, at this time Vincent demanded that this weather station be closer and warmer.
Lokomotiv Moscow really didn't expect Bayern Munich to put their posture so low, what they have been practicing is how to hold under Bayern Munich's powerful offensive and organize effective counterattacks.
But how is it different for Bayern Munich now, this time, Lokomotiv Moscow will not play, they have basically never enjoyed this kind of treatment, and they are a little helpless in the face of this situation.
The head coach of Lokomotiv Moscow, Semien, also feels a little difficult now, but these players in his hands have never studied how to break the secret, Bayern Munich is doing this, and the field may be chaotic.
Sure enough, the current attack of Moscow Lokomotiv is like a headless fly, with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, there is no main attack point at all, and they do not have a clear goal for whether to attack from both sides or from the middle, and even if they reach the offensive position of the two wings or the middle, they must choose how to send it into the penalty area next.
It's no joke, you can agree with the defenders of Bayern Munich, so after 25 minutes of scoring in the first half, Lokomotiv Moscow did not have a single shot on goal, in fact, the ball did not even enter the penalty area, and was basically destroyed by the defenders on the side or in the midfield.
However, up to now, Bayern Munich's counterattack has not been effectively organized, and the defense is fine, but as soon as it comes to attack, the players feel a little unable to run, mainly because they feel too hard, and the spikes are uncomfortable to run on, and there is a feeling of stepping on this concrete ground to kick the ball.
It's okay at the beginning.,The more you go to the back, the more powerful this feeling is.,Before the opening, the staff dealt with it.,But now it's frozen.。
Fan Shang also didn't want the players to do it, and when he saw that Salihamidzic and Ze Roberto were running a little awkwardly when they were about to counterattack a few times, he simply gave up the attack, and with a wave of his hand, the players were in a defensive position.
