Some media believe that Hoeness is just bluffing.

Because this season's Bayern Munich, in addition to reaching the final in the Champions League, the table on other fronts is not very good.

The Bundesliga has long ended, and Bayern Munich has accumulated 73 points in the league, losing to Borussia Dortmund and only finishing second. Borussia Dortmund topped the table with 81 points and won the league title.

In the just-concluded German FA Cup, although Bayern Munich reached the final, they lost to Dortmund 2:5 in the final and were beaten by Dortmund in the league and FA Cup.

Now, Bayern Munich is actually only one Champions League left.

If they can't beat Manchester City in the Champions League final to win the title, they will have a clean basket this season.

Such a result is unacceptable for a German giant like Bayern Munich.

So they have to win this Champions League.

Bayern Munich's only advantage right now is the final venue.

The final was played at their own home stadium, the Allianz Arena. They know the venue well, and they also have the support of tens of thousands of home fans.

But at the same time, it can also become a pressure for them.

If they don't play well on their home turf, the pressure will be overwhelming with boos.

When the time comes, they may be overwhelmed by the pressure.

Hoeness hopes that Bayern Munich can lift the title on their home turf, and in doing so, it will be a powerful response to those who have been obsessed with glory.

After Manchester City finished their training in Manchester, the whole squad flew to Manchester City for Munich three days before the start of the game.

Glory has become the most high-profile person in the Manchester City team, from the time he got off the plane to the time he stayed at the local hotel, there were reporters trying to interview him throughout the whole process. I'd like to hear what Glory had to say about Hoeness's words.

But Rongguang did not give interviews.

"There's nothing to say, let football do the talking." When the bus went to the hotel lobby, Rong Guang waved to the reporters outside.

Reporters can only guess from his expression how Rong Guang is feeling now.

“…… When he said this, he smiled, and it was obvious that he was relaxed. Munich is a place he knows very well. ”

"Rong's smile represents his self-confidence ......"

At the beginning of the season, when Rong announced that he would help Manchester City successfully defend the Champions League, he was met with a lot of doubts and ridicule. But now, he and Manchester City have reached the Champions League final and are just one step away from successfully defending their title. Maybe...... Will he really make zào history? ”

※※※

Rongguang refused to be interviewed, it was his own decision, and Benitez did not ask all the players to shut up when facing reporters.

In addition to glory, Kaka is also the focus of journalists.

Kaka couldn't even play at Real Madrid last season, and when he moved to Manchester City this season, he was also thought to have come here purely to get a high salary.

But now, as the main player in Manchester City, he helped the team reach the Champions League final!

Kaka has only won the Champions League in his career, and whether it is compared to Messi or glory, this puts him at a disadvantage.

Kaka also wants to win the Champions League again, otherwise he would not have left AC Milan and came to Real Madrid.

It's a pity that at Real Madrid, he didn't achieve this wish, not only himself, but the whole team was not able to achieve this goal.

He was only in his first season at Manchester City, and he had already reached the Champions League final. What he couldn't achieve with so much effort at Real Madrid seemed to be easy at Manchester City.

And the cartoon Guò's excellent performance at Manchester City has also returned to the Brazilian national team.

If he can also help the team win the Champions League, his place in the Brazilian national team will be even more secure, which will help him participate in the 2014 World Cup in his home country.

In just one season, his career and life have changed 180 degrees.

This shift is also what the media is most interested in.

So before the game, there were also a lot of media interviews with Kaka.

Unlike Glory, Kaka did not turn down these interviews.

He spoke about his season at Manchester City.

“…… When I first chose to move to Manchester City, I said that I wasn't here to mess around, I really wanted to contribute to the team. I'm glad I found my place in the team and helped them reach the Champions League final. ”

Kaka said this with a big smile on his face, and the smile couldn't be closed at all.

'Of course I hope we can win the title, but Bayern Munich is also a very strong team and this is their home turf. So it's going to be a very tough game for sure. I respect every opponent and I'm going to give it my all. ”

A reporter asked a sensitive question: "You also played a season at Manchester City, so you and Rong also got along together for a season, did the two of you have any trouble getting along in this season?" How does it feel to be a teammate with him? ”

Kaka still had a smile on his face and replied without the slightest hesitation: "It's not the first time I've been teammates with him, so I don't feel anything special." As for the trouble? No, there is no trouble between us. ”

It can be seen that Kaka's mood is really good, and even Rong Guang can't make the expression on his face change.

And before the tournament, I didn't see any nervousness on his part at all.

Not only Kaka, but the whole of Manchester City, the players interviewed showed such a common trait.

It's not tense at all, it's relaxing.

This mentality is something that many teams can't come by.

This means that when they are in the game, they will play better than their opponents.

Two seasons of unbeaten streak didn't seem to put any pressure on this team at all. Since the Champions League was restructured, no team has been able to successfully defend the title, and this has not made it difficult for Manchester City's players in the slightest.

Where does this ease and ease come from?

From their captain, Glory.

The experience of playing side by side together has made them believe in their captain very much. With glory by their side, even if they are facing a team of aliens, they will not lose confidence.

※※※

Although Rongguang still has friends like Schweinsteiger, Ribery and Lahm at Bayern Munich, Rongguang did not contact them before the final, and they certainly did not contact Rongguang.

Because they know very well that it doesn't make much sense.

They went to look for Glory before the game, and they didn't let Glory remember the old friendship and show mercy to them, on the contrary, it would only be a little embarrassing.

The city, which Glory once knew so well, was now no different from any ordinary away city for him.

On May 19, the day of the Champions League final came as scheduled.

From the moment the teams of both sides took the bus to the Allianz Arena, the televised broadcast began in full swing.

Fans of both teams gathered outside the Allianz Arena to greet their teams.

Every time a bus arrives, it can set off a huge cheer.

The façade of the Allianz Arena is also lit up in the night sky, alternating between red and sky blue, representing the two teams participating in the match.

Red is the main color of Bayern Munich, while sky blue represents Manchester City.

It is very dazzling in the night sky.

During the warm-up, the stands were almost full, and the appearance of players from both sides caused bursts of cheers in the stands.

The FC Bayern Munich fans took full advantage of the fact that it was their home stadium and spread the well-made TIFO in the south stand.

That's where the most die-hard Bayern Munich fans gather.

Back then, Glory enjoyed the same treatment as a king here.

But today, on their TIFFO are the Bayern Munich players of today, with captain Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Robben and Ribery, and Thomas Muller, all of whom are the pride of Bayern Munich fans.

Glory is a thing of the past, hidden in memory.

After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the dressing room to make final preparations for the upcoming game.

In City's dressing room, Benitez said: "It's our last game of the season, gentlemen. We've had a fantastic season, but if we don't play well in this last game, then all the hard work ahead is meaningless. There are only 90 minutes left, so let's do our best and leave no regrets. ”

He didn't say too many pretty words, because he didn't need to.

This team is very mature now, they know what to do and they are not afraid to carry the pressure.

As a manager, you really just need to do a good job in terms of technique and tactics and training.

Benitez now thinks about it, his decision to become Manchester City's firefighting coach was really the most correct decision in his coaching career...... I don't know how many people want to be the head coach of this team!

Meanwhile, next door, Louis van Gaal is cheering up the team: "Manchester City are not an invincible team. There is no such thing as zài in this world. As long as you don't rush and play according to what we train, you can beat Manchester City! Remember, patience is important! Manchester City are on the counter-attack, and the main way they score is actually due to the mistakes made by their opponents, so not making mistakes is more important than anything else! And patience is the basis for not making mistakes! ”
