12 May 1998, Munihei Olympic Stadium.

This time, the focus is not limited to Europe.

According to the figures provided by the German National Sports Channel, the match will be broadcast live in more than 120 countries around the world, and the total number of viewers is expected to exceed 150 million.

This is a milestone breakthrough for the previous Bundesliga broadcast, which has only reached a maximum of 80 million.

The breakthrough was so magnitude that German sportsmen wailed.

Such a number is not only unprecedented, but probably the last!

There is no way, the battle for the top of the list, which is simply aimed at the Bundesliga championship, even if it is mixed with more grievances and hatreds, cannot be compared with the European Champions Cup and the European Cup, let alone the World Cup ratings of hundreds of millions at every turn.

The match in front of us can attract hundreds of millions of neutral spectators, and the snowballing influence of Kaiserslautern is the real decisive factor. As for Bayern Munihe, the Bundesliga title, and the historical feud between the two teams, these are just backgrounds, and they can't hide the light of the real protagonists.

A grassroots civilian team, without any big investment, as a promoted horse, scored 77 points, 70 goals, and 48 goal difference in the 32nd round of the Bundesliga!

If that's not enough, plus win all 4 matches in the German Cup, eliminate the new European champions, and enter the final!

There is no fluke in such results. In the 10-month league game, they did not hide themselves in obscurity from the very beginning, and since the pre-season warm-up match against Bayern Munihe, they have continued to cooperate with the media and the club, making their voices heard on various occasions. Wave after wave of discussion was set off on the topic of discussion.

Revenge, gratitude, golden boots, growth

Such an ordinary family background, such a thin lineup, and such a high-profile promotion horse. This allows each of their games to be played under high magnification. Almost every opponent did not ignore them, did not cowardly before fighting, and tried everything to defeat them.

It is against this backdrop that they have achieved the highest winning percentage in the top five leagues. Until today, before this game, the number jù had replaced a qiē exclamation, making everyone shake their heads silently.

"Miraculous" is no longer enough to describe them, "miracles" have been overused, and "miracles" have become no longer new.

What other words. Can you describe them?

Crazy?

However, all those who watched their games could clearly feel the outrageously calm patience, and they could not ignore their unmoved wisdom in the face of temptation, and even every opponent they had played against could clearly feel the light of tactics.

Maybe. It's just the results that are crazy, and one or two simple adjectives can't sum them up all.

"Honestly. The qiē in front of me is really like a dream. By the way, Mueller, this time last year, do you remember? ”

Amid the roar of the 78,000 spectators standing up en masse, Smittel quickly samoher and talked. A strange feeling welled up in his heart, so he turned his head and asked the old man with a solemn face next to him.

Gerd Müller's golden club career was spent in this stadium, and even though he now loves the Red Devils with all his heart, he can't let go of that black-and-white photographic memory.

365 goals in 427 Bundesliga games, 40 goals in a single league season. He scored 67 goals in 48 games in a single season, 68 goals in 62 games for the national team, won 7 Bundesliga, 4 Champions Leagues, 2 European Cups, 1 World Cup, 1 European Cup Winners' Cup, 1 Club World Cup, 18 top scorer titles, 525 goals for Bayern Munich Munihe, 1,216 official matches, 1,461 goals

The King of Efficiency?

The god of records?

Why did he only start professional training at the age of 18, and only 11 years later, before he was 29 years old, he left the national team without authorization and became a drunkard who was disliked by everyone?

Why do you feel bored to live when you have won the championship and the top scorer, and left football and your buddy Beckenbauer?

Did you really do it to the best in football?

Is there something that has been overlooked other than victory and glory?

"Oh, of course I do."

Gad Müller woke up from the memories and turned his head to look at his old partner with an excited face.

Smittel was also immersed in the old man's favorite memories, completely oblivious to the strange feelings of the guy next to him.

"Just one year later, I remember that at that time, Kaiserslautern was two points behind the opponent and was about to need a game to decide the championship, when the media exposed the news that the star Mo was blackmailed by Bayern Muni."

"Yes, the football emperor's other eyes did not impress him, and later because of Rehhagel and Basler, he completely went to the opposite side of Bayern Munihe."

"At the end of the season, there is a very good chance that he will leave Kaiserslautern. Can I call it a 'miracle' that this kind of thing, which is difficult for any club to talk about, has been unanimously approved by supporters? ”

Gad Müller is fluted again.

Such a miracle?

Why didn't I think about it?

A qiē are too smooth lì for the sake?

Or, leaving that guy and being nothing by himself?

"I started shaking hands before the game, it seems that the expressions of each one are not full of gunpowder as I imagined?" Smittel's words were thrown out and no one answered, and there was something strange in my heart. The game hadn't officially started yet, and there was no sound on TV, so he continued his one-man show.

"Maybe Elber's previous speech played a role, as a professional player, it is inevitable that you will have this experience, especially a high-impact transfer." Gad Müller sighed in his heart and turned his mind back.

Why has you been able to maintain your enthusiasm for ten years?

I thought the little guy was like himself, but now it seems that he is more like the guy on the high podium!

"Yes, the players who poured all the passion of the fans into their hometowns once left their homeland, and even suddenly became opponents, enemies. No one can remain calm in such a situation. Being able to understand each other, tolerate each other, and send blessings to each other is already a miracle in the world. ”

"Perhaps, such a thing happened to Kaiserslautern and it can no longer be called a miracle."

"Haha." Miracle' used too much, it's not worth anything at all now! Okay, kidding aside, the game starts right away, so let's break down the starting lineups of both sides. ”

Interpreting the lineup, the two old guys are already familiar with this kind of thing.

Even if the national sports station didn't broadcast the Kaiserslautern game live, the two guys would still get together and replay the video of their game over and over again, discussing and thinking at the same time. Hope to find out more information from it.

As a commentator, instead of looking for sufficient numbers, not understanding the background of the players, not studying the historical records of the two sides, but like a head coach, he studied the video footage of the game of the two sides over and over again, such a strange commentary is rare in Germany.

Perhaps it is this love from the heart that makes the two old guys controversial at the same time. It has also gained great popularity. As long as the national station broadcasts a game of the Bundesliga Red Devils, there is no doubt that they will choose two starters.

This game in front of you. There will be dozens of languages, and tens of thousands of commentators are doing the same thing with them, but if you want to select the word "authority", the two still deserve it.

Rehhagel is going to be angry with them, what kind of powerful lineup does this have to be!

"In fact, although our facial expressions are calm, we can't hold back in our hearts."

The starting line-up has already been released. It was only in order to cooperate with the TV broadcast that the two kept holding back. Now that the game is about to start, it's a good opportunity to unleash.

"Haha, we weren't the only ones who got the starting list before the game started, I believe everyone is looking forward to it as much as we do, right?"

"Bayern Munich and Kaiserslautern ahead of this round. Both won by three goals, and it stands to reason that there is no reason for the two teams to change their tactics and change their starting line-up immediately if there are no contingencies. ”

Perhaps, in the eyes of the two famous coaches, this game has far more content than any previous game. Therefore, many things that are taken for granted cannot be thought of from a conventional perspective! ”

"Well, Trapattoni put Basler, who scored two goals in the last game, on the bench, handed over the midfield organization to Sauer, put Salihamidzic and Anderson on the side, the defensive midfielder is still Jeremes, and the forwards are of course Elber and Ziegler, who are in hot form, and the defense line has not changed."

"The information revealed is simple."

"Yes, Elber has retreated many times in recent games to participate in the midfield organization, and his position change has led to a more efficient passing in the Bayern midfield, and in this wave of ten consecutive wins, his goal efficiency has decreased slightly, but the role he plays in the attack is much higher than before."

The starting lineup chose Salihamidzic and Anderson, who are extremely capable of breaking through on the wings, and abandoned the sharp but potentially double-edged beast Basler, obviously to prevent the opponent from turning the direction of the game into the unknown with the smell of gunpowder again. Sauer retreated from the midfield position and handed over much of the middle of the pitch to Elber, a tactical change that smelled of imitation. ”

"Haha, the Italians will probably be unhappy with your statement."

"Alas, it's not a day or two since we're thankless, and one more person isn't nothing."

'That's right, the midfielders are in the back, the strikers drop back into shadows, and this change is the first to be made by their opponents, Kaiserslautern. The fact that Bayern Munich can be used seamlessly reflects the team's ability to adapt. ”

"Yes, imitation is nothing, and defeating the inventor in the same way can be regarded as a way to show respect!"

"Their opponents, the starting line-up they fielded was amazing!"

"I'm not surprised, I want to just dial the time to 90 minutes later and see how it goes!"

"It's a good thing you don't have that ability, Mueller. The game has begun, let's watch and talk. ”

"Actually offering a striker formation at the beginning, what is Kaiserslautern going to do?"

"Who could have guessed, maybe they were going to attack!"

"Too bold, right, to turn the game into an open-ended attack in this situation?"

"It's crazy to do that, let's look for evidence from the game!"

Rewind to two days ago.

How do you convince Rehhagel to play against each other?

You Mo had an idea after learning that Jiang Xiaolan was pregnant.

On the team bus, the guy leaned over to the head coach and sat down with a big grin.

Rehhagel's recent relationship has not been good, and the reason goes without saying. The problem, of course, is with the guy who came over.

As the head coach, the most proud disciple is about to leave at such a young age, even if he is as strong as an iron man, he will inevitably feel sad and lost. He really didn't expect to be so fragile in the last game, and he was still scared after coming down.

repeatedly told myself not to be emotional, but it still went wrong!

Thankfully, these guys are more sensible than the other. Otherwise, if he really ruined his plan to win the championship, he could only call his old buddy Coleman and go to jump the Rhine together.

"BOSS, ARE YOU FREE?" You Mo bent down solemnly, his face was very stern.

Rehhagel really didn't want to see him now, but it was not easy to push him away directly if he sent it to the door, so he also tightened his face, "Say, what's the matter." ”

The two of them asked and answered so strictly. Obviously, it made a car of people a little uncomfortable. exchanged a bunch of glances with each other, and no one came up with a reliable answer.

Let's wait and see what happens!

"I'm going to be a dad!" You Mo cleared his throat and said a carload of unsatisfactory answers.

It's been four months, it's worth taking it seriously?!

"Well, good thing, why talk about it now?" Rehhagel was going to reach out and knock on the goods, but he was really in a bad mood, so he was lazy.

"I just got the news this morning!" Yu Mo accentuated his tone. Emphasize the word "today".

"Oh? Oh, is Lan pregnant? Rehhagel was stunned. react.

The faces of the carload of people changed slightly.

This guy doesn't seem to be planning to tell jokes to tease the boss!

"You're amazing, just guess!" You Mo's eyes flashed, selling cuteness.

"Dan is a very enthusiastic guy and has only been working for a long time, so getting pregnant again is not a good thing for her." Rehhagel coughed twice, and finally a smile appeared on his face. It's a pity that it passed in a flash.

"Well, that's right. By the way, BOSS, the mood of a woman looking forward to a new life after ten months of pregnancy is not like when we are about to end a season. Looking forward to the championship? You Mo nodded violently, smiling.

Rehhagel froze suddenly, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart. It's not clear, but it's like life, beating in my heart.

This guy, isn't it?

"Huh? Don't say it's really like it! When a child is conceived in October and once it is born, it is a mule or a horse, a monkey or a stone, and then we will know. ”

When the carload of people was in a daze, Lu Wei muttered to himself.

Everyone couldn't bear it anymore and looked sideways.

Did this guy curse your brother like that?

"That's right, it's all 10 months, it's all looking forward to it but not rushing, it's all getting harder and harder in the end. Your analogy is very apt, but what about the purpose? Rehhagel took a deep breath, calmed his intense heartbeat, and spoke slowly.

"We've led us to where we are today, when we win and we win the championship. Such a game is like the labor pains of childbirth, and if you don't come up with psychological preparation to deal with the tenth-level pain, you will inevitably feel timid. ”

Facing the bright eyes of the car, You Mo paused, and his voice became thick.

"Everyone wants to see what kind of growth we have reached this year. However, if there is no enough weighty opponent, where can it be measured? ”

Bright eyes began to glow, including Rehhagel.

"So, I think that if the champion is regarded as a little life that is about to be born, then the strength we show in such a game is the best motivation to bring life from the darkness to this world!"

The carload of people seemed to realize something, and their breathing became heavy at the same time.

"In the last game, you told us 'don't have regrets', and now, you haven't changed your mind, have you?"

Rehhagel stood up suddenly, looked around, and smiled.

"Of course, let them see!"

I've been busy lately, and I'm really embarrassed to use such a weak update to ask everyone for tickets.

Then thank you, partners who have never left you along the way.

It was your company that kept me going, it was your encouragement that made our protagonist full of courage, and it was your advice that made this book go from a dream story to a text.

Thanks again! (To be continued......)
