English football legend Lineker once said that football is a game of 22 people and the Germans win in the end.
Lineker is no ordinary man, he is a very famous striker in England. He is currently the second most scored goal in England for the national team, and the first is the famous Bobby. Charlton. Charlton just had one more goal than Lineker.
Not only that, Lineker is also a "clean slate". Because he has a proud record of never receiving a yellow or red card in his entire career. Therefore, Lineker's popularity in English football is very good.
It's just that Lineker's international career was a tragedy, because he came into the strongest time of the German national team. In the end, in desperation, Lineker uttered the poignant words.
When he said this, Lineker was too devastated. This is also the flip side of the argument that German football was strong at the time. German football is very strong, and their team is a machine. Each player is a part of the machine, and they are able to run the whole game exactly as they were set up before the game.
That's the scariest thing about German football.
And when it comes to German football, there is one club that has to be mentioned.
That is Bayern Munich, the overlord of the Bundesliga and the first giants of the Bundesliga. It can be said that the development of the Bundesliga is the history of other clubs competing with Bayern. First there was the two-man rivalry between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayern, then the "north-south rivalry" between Hamburg and Bayern, and of course there were clubs that challenged Bayern's dominance.
Including Borussia Dortmund, Bremen, Stuttgart, Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke and many others, but they are generally just shooting stars. It has never been able to truly shake Bayern's rule.
The German side has won the Champions League five times so far, including three for Bayern.
And since Borussia Dortmund dominated in the mid-nineties, Bayern have begun to completely consolidate their position in the Bundesliga.
Now Bayern is at its peak again.
On December 6, the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, under the leadership of their head coach Heathfield, came to the town of Blackburn with great dignity.
Of course, compared to a megacity like Munich, which is home to millions of people, Blackburn is a small country town in their eyes.
When they arrived at Ewood Park, none of them had ever looked at Ewood Park. The stadium is also too backward, not only are there not many seats, but many of the facilities are also a little old. Although the Olympic Stadium in Munich has some history, it couldn't be better than Ewood Park.
The arrival of Bayern Munich, a Bundesliga giant, completely detonated the already hot ball market.
Williams is smiling every day. The Premier League is getting better and better, and Blackburn are the best in the league. Of course, Williams was even happier with Blackburn's performance in the Champions League.
Although it only broke through to the group stage, the income earned is already not much different from the income of winning the League Cup last season.
Williams now thinks that if he can make it out of the second round of the group stage, then the income and prize money will add up to a large amount. It's all white money.
Unlike Williams's relaxed mood, George's brow was furrowed even tighter.
Although Bayern Munich is very strong, George is definitely not the one who will shrink back when he sees the opponent's strength. Even if the opponent is a strong team like Bayern Munich, George has only one thing on his mind, that is, how to defeat him.
Bayern Munich is strong, that's recognized.
Elber, a tragic player who has never been called up by the national team, does not mean that he is not strong enough. That's because Brazil has stronger strikers like Romario and Ronaldo. But that didn't detract from the success of Elber's club career.
Elber's individual technique is very delicate, especially in one-on-one situations, and he can often use excellent dribbling skills to break through the opposition defender's defence and score goals.
In addition to Elber, Bayern also has Tiger Effenberg.
If we talk about the later Arsenal Walcott, the nickname is "Little Tiger". Then Walcott is a little tiger who has no tiger power and no teeth. But Effenberg is a real tiger.
Effenberg is Germany's best midfielder in recent years. Effenberg is a natural leader and is very aggressive in midfield. He is one of the best midfielders in German football and even European football at the moment.
If Effenberg is domineering, then Sauer next to him is an aura. Sauer's style of play is light, agile and delicate. Sauer has incredible footwork and insight. The media has a lot to say about Sauer. "Intelligent", "Sensitive and Free", "True"...... All of these glamorous, evocative words filled the front pages of the newspapers with Sauer's performance on the pitch.
Bayern's attack should be direct, direct, delicate and delicate.
Of course, Bayern is not without its shortcomings.
There is absolutely no perfect team in this world. Bayern are really strong right now, and they don't have too many shortcomings in each line. But that doesn't mean Bayern are really invulnerable.
Bayern's biggest problem of late has been a bit of inconsistency at the back.
The three central defenders of Kufuor, Link and Anderson have conceded more goals recently. Their form has been up and down, whether in the Bundesliga or in the first round of the group stage, Bayern conceded more goals.
So if this game is going to have a good result, George has to let Blackburn go out. But how to choose a balance between offense and defense is the biggest problem.
"At the beginning of the season, the English media said we were a strong team, but what is a strong team?"
Before the game began, George made the final mobilization in the locker room. With Blackburn's strength steadily rising, George has rarely used this method. But against Bayern today, George used this kind of encouragement again.
"A strong team is not afraid of any opponent. A strong team not only shows that you must have strength, but more importantly, you must have the heart of a strong person. We've beaten Manchester United, Arsenal in the Premier League, and Bayern Munich. ”
"Bayern is not a team that cannot be beaten."
"As long as we beat Bayern, then the whole of Europe will be watching us. When the time comes, the whole of Europe will agree that we are a European powerhouse. Are you afraid of Bayern? ”
Sagnol was always the first to stand up to meet George.
"Head, we're not afraid of Bayern. Bayern are the champions of the Bundesliga and we will soon be champions of the Premier League. ”
'Yes, we are Premier League champions. Not afraid of him Bundesliga champion! ”
In fact, the Bundesliga is still very strong at this time. Even more fierce than the Premier League. It's just that the investment in the Bundesliga has always been more sensible, except for Dortmund, which will not operate. In the Bundesliga, there are very few large turnbacks.
But since the inception of the Premier League, the Premier League has been a big splash of money. So it looks like the Premier League is more prosperous.
George raised his hand to silence everyone.
"Looking back at history, the rise of any great power depends on war. Only by defeating another powerful country and stepping on the corpse of a strong country can it be recognized by the world and become a new powerful country. ”
"It's the same in football. If we want to become a strong team, we have to step on the corpse of a European giant in order to be recognized by European football. Do you want to be strong? ”
All the players are whistling. Then shout: "Yes!" We want to be strong! We're a strong team! ”
"Yes. If we want to be a strong team, Bayern is our first opponent, now go out, kill Bayern and tell European football that we are coming! We Blackburn also came over to grab a meal to eat! ”
"Kill Bayern!"
"Bayern!"
The Blackburn players walked out of the dressing room in a menacing manner. Looking at the eyes of the Bayern players are vicious. This made the Bayern players inexplicable.
Bayern is a Bundesliga giant, and it is also a European football giant. Blackburn Rovers is just a team that has just risen, and Bayern is completely innocent and innocent. These Blackburn players are getting nervous.
George came out early, waited for Heathfield to come out, and shook his hand.
Heathfield is one of the most famous coaches in Europe at the moment.
He has achieved a lot. Of course, the most brilliant thing was when he was at Dortmund, Heathfeld led Dortmund to the top. He led Borussia Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles and a Champions League triumph.
After coming to Bayern, he has already led Bayern to win two Bundesliga titles. Of course, in his first season in charge of Bayern, he led Bayern to the Champions League final. It's just that they were defeated by Manchester United in the final.
Of course, this season, Heathfield reached the Champions League final again. And also won the Champions League.
Heathfield is a true European manager.
If it had been George four or five years ago, he would have been in an adoring mood when facing Heathfield. But today it's completely different, and George is in his sixth season as head coach. Although there are not many famous marshals I have seen, there are quite a few.
He has played against coaches such as Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Robson, Houllier and Graham. They also played Bosque in the UEFA Super Cup this season. Therefore, in the face of Heathfield George, there is no longer the same nervous feeling as before.
How about Heathfeld winning the Bundesliga? What about Heathfield's Champions League triumph?
It's just that he's older than himself. I will get these honors one by one in the future.
"Hello everyone. I'm Martin. Taylor. Now we will broadcast live to you the second match of the second round of the group stage of the Champions League, which is a highlight of Group C. Blackburn Rovers of the Premier League host Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. ”
'The players from both teams have started to play so let's look forward to a good game. Commentating on the game with my partner was my old partner Andy. Gray. ”
