readx;

Bayern Munich were resolute ahead of the game, repeatedly issuing press conferences saying that three goals is not an unbridgeable chasm and that the team is confident they will revert to their underdogs at Stamford Bridge and will try to fight for any promotion hopes.

The Bayern players also showed a fighting spirit, which gave Bayern fans renewed their confidence in the game, and they all expected Bayern to pull off a miracle and complete a comeback victory over Chelsea to reach the Champions League final. If Bayern can accomplish this kind of difficult task, then the title is almost in the bag.

Fans are hoping that Bayern can achieve another great achievement and try to take the team to a higher point.

'We lost by three goals in the last game and we had to score at least four to get to the final, so it's really difficult. But it's not impossible, and we're going to fight for all hope of victory. In the history of football, there are many, many teams that have completed big comebacks, and Bayern will strive to do it, and we have the confidence and ability to do it! ”

On the official website of Bayern Mourinho, there is such a message, which continues to encourage the players, which makes many players regain their confidence, and fans have begun to pay attention to this game again, they want to see a Bayern with the spirit of striving for progress, this must be a new Bayern.

After the 5-2 defeat to Chelsea at the Olympic Stadium, the atmosphere at Bayern has been like this, the whole team seems to have learned their lesson, and the media and fans see a spirit of courage, which makes everyone think that Bayern still has some hope - if you work hard, there is hope, right?

Even if you are 3 goals down, even if it is an away game, there is hope for a win.

As long as there is hope, there is motivation!!

As a result, there were many Bayern fans who came from Germany to watch the game with the team, and at 12 o'clock at noon, there were already many fans wearing Bayern jerseys at the gate of Stamford Bridge. They gathered together, all with props in their hands to cheer for Bayern, and it looked like they were a bit of a rival to the Chelsea fans.

It's a pity that the outside is the outside, and the inside is the inside!

Even if all the Munich fans were moved to London, with so many seats at Stamford Bridge and most of the rights to sell tickets in the hands of Chelsea Football Club, would they sell so many tickets to Bayern fans? -- The answer is no.

In fact, all Bayern fans have less than 2,000 tickets combined, which is not even a 20th of the Blues fans.

For this reason, Bayern even has a staff member who is responsible for communicating with fans to react to UEFA, but this kind of thing is not clear at all, Chelsea's spokesman said that "tickets are sold too fast, and thousands of tickets are bought by fans who claim to be Bayern", which also makes the European League helpless, if it really intervenes in the investigation, it is simply worth the loss, even if Chelsea sells some less tickets to Bayern, it is human nature and reasonable.

Although the European Union has relevant regulations, even if the results of the investigation come out, all this is Chelsea's fault, but it is only a fine, and this small amount of money is not worth the big deal at all.

As a result, there are fewer than 1,800 Bayern fans who can enter Stamford Bridge, which is a drop in the bucket from Chelsea's nearly 40,000 fans. This is rich for scalpers who buy more tickets outside the stadium, the original 68 pounds of Champions League semi-final ticket prices have been noisy by them to more than 300 pounds, even so it is still in short supply, and it is even said that a Bayern fan who came with the team, in order to buy a ticket, even spent 1500 pounds from a Chelsea fan to buy it.

More than 2 hours before the start of the game, the players of the two teams rushed to the court to adapt to the field under the leadership of the coach of the team.

The Chelsea players are of course familiar with the pitch, and they only do casual relaxation exercises on the pitch, giggling and laughing at each other. Bayern's half was completely different, every player worked hard to adapt to the training, and they took their training very seriously. Several players pass and receive the ball to each other, as if the game has actually begun.

The difference in the performance of the players from both sides made it obvious to the fans who had just entered the stadium that the mentality of the two teams was completely different.

The Blues were delighted with the situation, feeling that the team was relaxed to play the game better, and in fact, Chelsea rarely looked solemn before the start of the game, and their lively atmosphere led to a more stable mentality and a quicker start to the game without being nervous.

On the other hand, Bayern fans feel that Chelsea is very arrogant, they don't look down on Bayern Munich who came to Stamford Bridge, but they don't shout angrily or anything, but hope that this 'arrogance' continues, and only if the opponent is careless, Bayern is more likely to turn around.

Before the half-hour acclimatization training was over, the Chelsea players walked towards the dressing room in twos and threes, and when Chelsea's half was clean, Bayern didn't even leave alone, this difference in seriousness, so that the German reporters who entered the scene were delighted at the same time, and they also immediately filmed these, which is evidence of Chelsea's carelessness.

If Bayern can make a comeback after the game, then this evidence will be the basis for them to laugh at Chelsea and England's arrogance, of course, if Chelsea win smoothly, then the video and photos can be discarded.

In the pre-war locker room, the team's head coach, Jose . Mourinho's expression was not as relaxed as the players, he looked solemn and constantly reminded the players in the dressing room to be careful and not to be careless, and on a tactical level, he didn't say much, only a brief mention of the defence.

Finally, Mourinho concluded: "...... Be sure to keep an eye out for Bayern's attack, with their Ballack, Hargreaves and even Frings likely to be the starting point of the attack, as well as Lucio and R. Kovac at the back. ”

"Defensively, the focus is still on the middle, the opposition midfielder Ballack is very strong, you have to be careful with his headers, they are likely to take advantage of the high altitude and play a similar attack with high lob crosses. My requirements are to keep the penalty area, shrink the formation, shrink the defensive line, give the middle ground to the opponent, and our focus is on defense, the defense must be good, we have the advantage of three balls in hand, don't rush to press the goal, that will give the opponent a chance. ”

Seeing the serious expressions of the players around him, Mourinho nodded, and then continued: "Allen, when you have the opportunity, bring the ball more, we are mainly defensive in this game, and we rely on you offensively." Altyn, you look for opportunities to cut forward from the left side, the team's attack in this game is mainly in the middle and the left side, and the speed of the attack must be fast. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Also, Alan, you have to stand a little bit forward, don't always come back and defend, and trust your teammates ......"

Before walking out of the locker room, Mourinho said a few words to Wang Li, emphasizing his role, even if he can't get the ball, it is a deterrent to Bayern, and if he returns to the backfield to defend, it will definitely outweigh the losses.

Wang Li was also very clear about this, so he just nodded and responded.

In fact, before the game, although Wang Li also thought about it a lot, but the focus is on the atmosphere within the team, but did not do any analysis of the game, of course, most of these are the work of the head coach, he is just a player, but it is undeniable that just like Bayern said, they are still likely to turn the tables, although this possibility is very small, but Wang Li does not want this to happen, then Chelsea will definitely be crucified, and his result will not be too good.

Participating in the Champions League for the first time, a competition for the highest honor of European clubs, Wang Li didn't want to give away the trophy because of a momentary negligence, so he listened to Mourinho's words very seriously at this time.

On the other side of the visiting dressing room, coach Magath is constantly boosting the morale of the players, in fact, it is useless to do anything else, no matter what tactics are needed by Bayern players, and this game they can only fight in order to qualify. From the first minute of the opening game to the end of the game, only continuous attacks can make it possible for the team to hope for promotion.

As for defence, that's something to consider when tying the scoreline, but Chelsea have scored five goals away from home, and the goal advantage is so great that they have to chase at least four before they can think about defence.

They have no choice but to fight to the death!

………… The players of both teams quickly gathered in the tunnel of the players.

At the beginning of the game, Wang Li turned his head to look at the fan stands around him, the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge today was completely different from the last league game, the entire stadium was completely covered in blue, and there were only a small corner with a pitiful more than 1,000 Bayern fans, seeing this situation, Wang Li felt very bored.

With more and more games, he feels that some evil potential has exploded in his heart, and before every game, he likes to provoke the fans, and scoring goals in the anger of others and trampling on the dignity of others will lift his spirits.

But now, the whole stadium is full of Blues fans, and the faint cheers and shouts of the Bayern fans are drowned out without a single wave. If he provokes the fans, I am afraid that it will be greeted not by anger but by crazy cheers.

On this point, although Wang Li is also a little complacent, because of his reputation in London, he also feels a little boring, such a competition is really too advantageous, and it seems that there is no challenge at all.

After the start of the game, according to the manager's tactical thinking, Wang Li has been hovering near the middle, constantly running back and forth, which is looking for opportunities, but also to involve Bayern's backfield, not allowing them to attack with all their might.

But what he didn't expect was that his approach made Bayern's defenders red-eyed, and they had to run along, which made Lucio and Sagnol, who were in charge of the close defense of the whole field, exhausted and out of breath before 10 minutes. But Wang Li's luck and internal force running, as long as it is not a large sprint, it will not use much physical strength.

The gap between the two sides is clear at a glance.

This scene was completely seen in the eyes of the two managers on the sidelines, Mourinho smiled softly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was still a little mocking, and on the other side, Bayern coach Felix. Magath seemed helpless, before the game he instructed Lucio and the two must defend against Wang Li all over the court, he felt that only in this way was foolproof, if this black-haired boy scored a goal, Bayern let alone advance to the final, even if it was difficult to save face.

But the current situation is that the physical fitness of the players under his command is not good, and the physical fitness of the black-haired boy on the field seems to be inexhaustible.

So in desperation, seeing that the game was going on in the 15th minute, when Lucio and the two were almost unable to keep up, Magath stood on the sidelines and quickly ordered R. Kovacs and Lizarazu to replace the above two to defend Wang Li.

In this case, Bayern's backfield was messed up by a Wang Li who didn't get the ball, and all four defenders were unable to step forward to support, and Bayern's attack was launched every time, but every time it was in vain. However, when the attack was weak, the defense was much stronger, and Chelsea played a few counter-attacks but could not find any chances.

Wang Li, on the other hand, still runs around the midfield, and his running does not have much regularity, just running back and forth along the position of the football to find the best position to receive the ball, so as to ensure that as long as a Chelsea player gets the ball, his position will ensure that his teammates can pass the ball easily.

In the face of this situation, Bayern's defenders are not running closely.

"Alan, look at Alan, he's still running! It's incredible, I think from the start, even though he didn't get a few balls, most of the fans were looking at him from time to time on the TV screens. ”

At this time, taking advantage of the gap between the game ball going out of bounds and the game being suspended, Graham couldn't help but comment: "We can find that although in this game, Chelsea's attack seems to be weak, and Allen rarely takes the ball, but the front and back are just as exciting. Allen's constant running made the Bayern players helpless, in order to prevent accidents, they had to follow, just now, he was followed by Lucio and Sagnol, and now it has been replaced by R. Kovac and Lizarazu. We can see that Lizarazu seems to be a little out of breath when he follows behind, oh~~~, he stopped, and the performance on his face looked helpless, oh my God, Alan has been running from the beginning to now, I am really worried about his physical fitness, but it seems that he has no problem, it is really ......"

By the 20th minute of the game, almost half of the fans in the stadium had their eyes fixed on Wang Li, they didn't care about Chelsea's half-time defense at all, the team had a three-goal advantage in hand, even if Bayern scored a goal, it didn't matter at all, but Bayern's half-time 'marathon' game was more eye-catching.

Wang Li didn't know this, but he was still running, but now the situation was different.

When Wang Li found that the two Bayern players who were following him had been running with him, he decided to keep running, fighting for who was afraid of whom, as long as the physical energy of these Bayern defenders was consumed, it would be much easier for Chelsea to counterattack, he thought so, and only kept doing it.

β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€œaschloch!!! ”

At this time, the coach Magath sitting in the Bayern coach's seat saw the situation in Bayern's backfield, and couldn't help but burst into a foul language, in the last time he played against Chelsea, he didn't realize that the original black-haired kid's physical fitness was so perverted, and now the game is about to go to the thirtieth minute, this black-haired kid is still running, and the speed is even faster than the marathon.

Not only that, but on the football field is not the kind of gradual and rhythmic running of the marathon, Wang Li goes around the court, a moment left and right, a moment of stopping and a quick sprint, this is an extremely physically demanding sport, at least just now Lucio and the two are tired and out of breath, and now it seems that the physical fitness of R. Kovac and the two seem to be declining rapidly, which makes Magath feel incredible.

Judging by the brunette kid's face, it doesn't seem that his physical energy is consumed much, is it possible that he has twice as much physical energy as the Bayern players, how is this possible!?

Magath would never believe in such a thing, in his opinion, Wang Li on the field was just pretending, 'Since you want to run, then we will follow!' As long as we get you out of the game, we can let go of the offense! That's what he thinks in his heart, and that's what he does.

So, soon Lucio and the two replaced R. Kovacs to defend Wang Li, and Magath meant to let them run with Wang Li to see who would consume their physical energy first.

For the rest of the players, the main battlefield was still in the Chelsea half, although without the support of the back, Bayern's attack dropped a little, but it was still sharp, and Chelsea had to defend with all their strength to keep the goal intact.

In the 30th minute of the game, Bayern's attack finally paid off, Hargreaves made a straight pass into the box from the left and right, giving striker Salihamidzic a chance, who received the ball and turned and volleyed, but the defenders blocked the view of Thomas. Clark didn't have time to react, but the ball was already in the net.

Bayern pulled a goal back.

But at this time, apart from more than 1,000 Bayern fans, few people cared about Bayern's goals, and Blues fans were more concerned about Wang Li and Bayern's defenders' track and field matches.

When Bayern celebrated, at least on the surface, Wang Li's face did not change at all, and his physical energy did not seem to be much consumed, while on the other hand, the Bayern defenders were not, the four defenders seemed to have just played a whole game, and they were covered in sweat, and the weather in England in May was not too hot, which can only be attributed to their physical exertion.

"Alan!! Allan!! Allan!! ”

"The saint who can't run to death. Allan!! ”

"It's so godly, Bayern boys, you still want to fight with Allen, haha, don't do it yourself!!"

…… No one booed Bayern's goal, and the crowd was still shouting about Wang Li, a scene that surprised the foreign journalists present, but the FA officials and England reporters took it for granted.

If a survey were to be conducted now to find out who the most influential person in London was, it would be estimated that 60 percent of the respondents would vote for Wang Li, and the British Prime Minister and Queen would have to stand aside, and their influence in the public would not be comparable to that of Wang Li, who had been on the Heat for a season.

Especially since this is Stamford Bridge!!

What if Bayern scored? Chelsea fans feel that this game is just a flower, and the club's stars are the focus, and Wang Li is the top priority.

And seeing Wang Li just so unexpectedly having a 'marathon' with Bayern defenders made the fans even more excited, as for Bayern's goals, who would care!?
