Bayern are familiar with Chelsea, and Chelsea are familiar with Bayern.

Last year's Champions League feud will be contested in the semi-finals this season.

Bayern felt that they had lost badly, they thought they could have won Chelsea without the help of the referee, who in turn affected their performance and made them lazy.

Of course, although I would love to meet Chelsea, Bayern Munich really didn't expect to meet Chelsea here before the semi-finals.

Pep Guardiola has analyzed Chelsea thoroughly, from the defensive and attack, to develop corresponding strategies, and it seems to be the head of the road and the order.

However, behind this seemingly stable situation, there is a huge hidden danger.

This hidden danger is one person, and that is Lin Yu!

Thinking about it, Guardiola didn't think of a way to deal with Lin Yu, and now he can only pin his hopes on his players, hoping that the players can adapt to the situation and find a way to deal with Lin Yu on the field, after all, the game is changing rapidly, and he can't formulate a suitable strategy off the field, but it may not be impossible on the field.

Lin Yu's strength is well known, Guardiola knows that, and his players know it, but they are not afraid, there is nothing to make Bayern Munich feel afraid.

However, no matter where they hid, they seemed to be able to hear Lin Yu's name, and Lin Yu's name was always present in newspapers, on TV, on the radio, and even on the Internet of mobile phones.

In the past few days, there have been more and more transfer scandals about Lin Yu, and local tyrants such as Manchester City, Grand Paris, and Monaco have made bids. However, the Chelsea manager was tight-lipped, stating that 'the team is only thinking about playing well at the moment. Nothing about transfers will be considered. ”

Originally, Bayern's club management also hoped that the transfer turmoil could disturb Lin Yu's mood and make Lin Yu's state worse. Even they made an offer, but unfortunately, the denial over there was very resolute, as if they had never thought of letting Lin Yu transfer.

Truth is dead, the top management of Chelsea Football Club, at least club owner Abou, manager Jose Mourinho, and managers know about it, but they haven't announced it to the public. What I'm afraid of is affecting the team's form.

In a discussion meeting within the team, Guardiola conducted a comprehensive analysis of Lin Yu, although he has not yet found a way to deal with Lin Yu, but I believe that it will not hurt to tell Lin Yu's characteristics to the players, maybe the players themselves can think of a way to deal with it.

"Listen, Lin Yu said that he was a center forward, but in fact his role was more like a striker, and he was not only responsible for scoring goals. He also takes into account defense and organization, so to speak, he is a panacea in the frontcourt...... No! It should be the king of all gold balms! Because he's top in every way, even defensively. There aren't many defenders who can compare to him! ”

"Modern football is all about diversification, and it's rare to see a striker who will stand in the box and ask for the ball and then score a goal with a stumbling shot. Yes, but it is gradually going to be eliminated by the times. Because of the tactics of a lot of teams. All require strikers to be able to hold the ball, and even a certain amount of dribbling skills. This is especially true for the big teams! ”

"Lin Yu is definitely not a traditional center forward, he may be regarded as a representative of the modern center forward, if you really want to choose someone to compare with him, it is Messi...... Of course, many people may not think that Messi is a center forward, and they have always felt that Barcelona plays without a striker, but in fact, I just use Messi as a center forward, but this center forward is different from the center in the traditional sense, Lin Yu's role in Chelsea is very similar to Messi's role in Barcelona! ”

"Although I don't want to admit it, I must say that in terms of threat, Lin Yu may be much greater than Messi, because Messi has a congenital disadvantage after all, and his threat in the penalty area is not as great as outside the penalty area, but Lin Yu is different, he has a body, height, and a header, and he may be more terrible than some traditional center forwards in the penalty area, because his brain is very smart, he is good at judging the trajectory and landing point of the ball, and he knows how to seize opportunities!"

"Coach, if you say this, isn't Lin Yu really without any flaws?" Ribery asked, a little unconvinced.

"That's right! You're right! He also has flaws, but his flaws are on the mental level, he is more arrogant, he is easily angry, and technically, I really don't see any obvious shortcomings in him. Pep Guardiola explained.

"So we're going to provoke him in the ring?"

"Provoke him? Don't you see the end of Rome? It was because of the anger of Roma that Lin Yu led to the big defeat at home! Pep Guardiola shook his head.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do?"

"I've thought of a lot of methods, but none of them are very operable, like last season, try to cut off the connection between other Chelsea players and Lin Yu, and let Lin Yu be isolated! But it turns out that the effect is not good, Lin Yu's ability to fight alone in the front court is too strong, and his steal is too ruthless and accurate, once the front court is stealed, we may lose the ball! So I thought about it for a long time, and I think that the fixed method is meaningless, we can do this first, and then after we play, you will adjust and change according to the actual situation, after all, it is you who are on the game, and only you have the deepest feeling for Lin Yu! ”

"Coach, I think it's very strong, it's better to simply attack away from home, and don't give Lin Yu any chance to counterattack, in this way, no matter how strong his offensive ability is, it doesn't matter." Tony Ross thought for a moment.

"The idea is very good, but it is not easy to implement, after all, it is Lin Yu, shrewd as a fox, sensitive as a cheetah, terrifying as a demon! Even God has to be cautious in the face of that person, let alone us. Pep Guardiola smiled and said: "But it works, I think Chelsea will definitely choose to defend and counter-attack, and we will use their tactics." Keep them under hold and if you can score earlier. Maybe it's going to be a lot better. ”

Pep Guardiola knows Mourinho too well and he knows that Mourinho is a pragmatic man. Even if it is at home, it will choose a comprehensive defense, and then steal a goal if it can be stolen, and the home team will never concede a goal easily.

So the tactical arrangement he finally decided on is, of course, also related to Mourinho, but Lin Yu is still a variable in it, which is the only thing he is not worried about.

"How long can you hold out if you are allowed to attack? How many minutes can you score? Pep Guardiola asked.

"Coach, this maybe. Chelsea are known for their excellent defence. Ribery frowned.

"No, you have to have faith, you should think like this - if you don't score, you lose! That way, you won't feel like it doesn't matter if you score or not. Pep Guardiola reiterated: "It's important to remember that this is the Champions League semi-final, not the league, and it's very likely to lose two or three games in the league to win the title, but once you lose one semi-final. Then the situation will be very bad! It's not the first time you've played in the Champions League, you know that, right? ”

All the preparations before the game are for a showdown after all!

The match was played at 3:45 p.m. EDT, and at this time. The more than 80,000 fans at Stamford Bridge have already filled the stands.

Chelsea fans, Bayern Munich fans come here. Just to be able to see a good game.

Chelsea fans, in particular, have won the Champions League twice in a row for Lin Yu and Jose Mourinho. They'd rather come early than wait here for a long time.

They have Drogba in their hearts. There's Frank Lampard, but now, they're also going to have to cheer for Lin Yu.

They all remember the scenes in the Champions League final last season, the final was not played at Stamford Bridge, so at that time their strength was too weak, and they could only watch their team being bullied but couldn't help, but now it's different, this is Stamford Bridge, there are nearly 80,000 Chelsea fans here, if the referee is really not afraid of death, he can learn from the guy in last season's final.

In fact, not only Chelsea fans, in the stands, there are many fans of other Premier League teams also came to the scene, now among the top four, the only Premier League team is Chelsea, although many people don't actually want Chelsea to win the championship, but those who support the Premier League, but very supportive of Chelsea, they don't want to see the Bundesliga riding on the head of the Premier League.

There are also media people in England, and even some celebrities, in fact, you can see now, there are tennis stars Nadal and Djokovic on the scene.

Not only that, but even legendary coaches like Alex Ferguson came to watch the game, and after retirement, he did have this spare time.

In addition, people like Rooney and Gerrard were also on the scene, making this game seem to be not a duel between Chelsea and Bayern Munich, but a duel between the Premier League and the Bundesliga.

The atmosphere was good, at least for Chelsea, but not for Bayern Munich, who were away from home, and you can imagine the spectacular scene when more than 70,000 Chelsea fans roared at the same time, even if you are bold, you will probably be frightened.

"It's not a good game for Bayern Munich, Chelsea are notoriously difficult, Bayern don't take much advantage of Chelsea!"

"Jose Mourinho has already thrown the bombshell of two consecutive titles, so in this game, Chelsea will definitely play desperately, and it is indeed a problem for Bayern."

"The strange thing is that there is no Lin Yu in the starting list we just got, he was placed on the bench, this list is wrong, right?"

Lin Yu didn't start, this is something that many media people can't believe, after all, everyone can see Lin Yu's hot state, everyone knows Lin Yu's identity and status at Chelsea, and the vital role he plays, unless Mourinho doesn't want to win, let Lin Yu sit on the bench, it's really unreasonable.

But that's the case, Lin Yu is indeed on the substitute list, and these media people have confirmed it several times, and the result is the same.

"Mourinho is crazy, he's just playing with fire, not Lin Yu, although Chelsea is not a weak team, but compared to when Lin Yu was on the field, the difference is a lot!"

"I think the happiest people should be Messi and Ronaldo, they can finally take advantage of this opportunity to catch up with Lin Yu's goals! Tomorrow is the game between the two of them, and they must be watching it in their respective homes or clubs today. ”

When the reporters were talking about these things, they were obviously full of dissatisfaction with Mourinho, this is not that they necessarily support Lin Yu, but they feel that if the game lacks Lin Yu, it will be a lot less worth paying attention to, the reporters who come here, I don't know how many are actually here for Lin Yu, now Lin Yu is sitting on the bench, can they be happy?

In order to stir up the atmosphere of the game, of course, the reporters want to mention Messi and Ronaldo, because at present, in terms of goals, only these two people are likely to catch up with Lin Yu.

Although Bayern Munich's Franck Franck Ribery has also performed well, his goals have only been four so far, which is simply incomparable. (To be continued......)
