After moving from Bayer Leverkusen to Bayern Munich in 2002, Ballack's status and prestige in the team skyrocketed, and so far, he has even become a veteran like Kahn. Especially in the German national team, Kahn has successfully taken over the captain's armband.

In fact, after Ballack transferred to Bayern, his performance has been unsatisfactory, far from the level of Bayer Leverkusen. Fortunately, this season, Heathfield finally found a suitable position for Ballack after exploration and research - left midfield.

According to the lineup of Heathfield in this game, Ze Roberto and Demichelis are in the middle, Schweinsteiger is the right midfield, and Ballack plays the left wing.

However, in the pre-match research, Qiao Wanxian found that Ballack's role on the field is actually more like a forward player with both offense and defense, giving up the left side to the old and strong Lizarazu, this tactical change, a bit similar to Real Madrid Zidane's virtual left midfield, whether Mourinho borrowed from Heathfield, or the German learned from the Portuguese coach, it is unknown.

On the evening of April 6, Stamford Bridge, England.

The 04-05 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals are just around the corner when Chelsea host Bayern Munich.

Players from both sides slowly walked out of the players' tunnel with cute little ball boys for the Zuihou opening ceremony before the game. The Stamford Bridge stands, which can accommodate 41,841, were full of people, and occasionally there were even radical fans who lit up blue smoke, and countless blue temperaments fluttered in the stands, forming an excellent home atmosphere.

As the players slowly walked into the stadium, the on-site master of ceremonies shouted the names of every Chelsea player, and the players accepted the cheers and shouts of the fans like heroes...... It's as if the game is over and you're winning.

On the other hand, when the Bayern Munich players are recited, the voice is slightly flat, and the applause is sparse, and it is obvious that the number of enthusiastic fans in Germany is not large.

When Chelsea have a home game, the first wave of high tides at Stamford Bridge has almost become a routine. For example, in this game, when Qiao Wanxian looked leisurely and just revealed half of his figure, Stamford Bridge was already a sea of cheers.

"Joe Cannon!"

"Joe Cannon!"

"Joe Cannon!"

……

The audience shouted in unison, and Qiao Wan was idle...... It's been a long time coming!

Heathfield led Bayern Munich to the European Champions Cup for the first time in 25 years in the 00-01 season, and is a well-deserved meritorious coach of the club.

As the hero of the Allianz Arena, Heathfield was a little silly when he saw this scene, what is the situation? With a smile and a wave of his hand, this Joe cannon can set off a monstrous wave at Stamford Bridge? Even if British Prime Minister Tony Blair comes, that's it, right?

When shaking hands with Qiao Wanxian, Heathfield still couldn't believe that this young man could really take on the mission of composing the grand "blue" road of Stamford Bridge? At least for now, the spectacle is astonishing.

"You're great, young man!" Heathfield sighed from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that Qiao Wanxian didn't know what a compliment was at all, so he smiled proudly: "Where is this, when I take the big ear cup, let's drink together again!" ”

Qiao Wan's idle words left Heathfield speechless.

Arrogance, arrogance! You have to understand who you are against, the head coach of Bayern Munich! Chelsea's opponents in this game! Big ear cups? Are you so confident you can knock out Bayern?

Fortunately, Heathfield is very personable and did not have a seizure on the spot, but he has decided in his heart that he must teach you a lesson while Chelsea is short of major generals! Gradually, his eyes were fixed on Chelsea's number three.

Hearing of Cannavaro's injury, Heathfield's first instinct was that Jovan would send German international Hut and John Terry to partner in central defence. Huth performed well during the national team training camp, knows the Bayern players very well, has big field experience, and is much better than the young Vidic. Surprisingly, Jowanxian still made a desperate bet on Vidic, a Serb, which made Heathfield see a lot of hope of winning.

After the opening ceremony, which lasted almost five minutes, referee Pedro Henry from Portugal blew the whistle for the start of the game.

There are many hidden dangers in the Chelsea backfield, especially the lone back Stoke Parker, whose trembling appearance makes Jowan smile wryly. Fortunately, the powerful attacking system up front is intact, with Kaka, Joe Cole and Frank Lampard all returning from injury, and Wayne Rooney is unusually fit after a game off.

It's just that after all, it is a knockout match, and there are too many players on both sides who have not experienced such a big scene, and in the first few minutes, both sides played cautiously and carried out tentative attacks.

But after the first ten minutes, in the restlessness of the field, Bayern Munich took the lead in losing his breath, if he did not take advantage of Chelsea's main defender Makelele injury to develop an attack, once he returned to the team, it may be even more difficult to defeat Chelsea. In the two-legged match against Barcelona, although Makelele did not score, he received high-profile praise from the media in various European countries, and he almost single-handedly resisted half of the opponent's attack.

At the critical moment, Bayern Munich's core figure Ballack stepped up, and a long-range shot and a header from the German captain almost put Chelsea in front of the goal, causing Bayern fans to shout excitedly.

How can the Chelsea players tolerate arrogance on their home turf? The disciples trained by Qiao Wan will be repaid every one!

The young Spanish right-back faced the legendary French left-back Lizarazu, showing the stunned nature of the newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and twice drove straight into the right flank, giving Kaka and Rooney shooting opportunities respectively, forcing the Bayern defence to scramble.

"The Anglo-German battle at the national team level, we can't accept it. But on the club side...... Chelsea will surely teach the arrogant Germans a profound lesson! The sworn enemy of Britain and Germany, in the face of Bayern Munich Club, the commentator mocked: "It is said that Ballack once again refused to renew his contract, and his contract with Bayern has 14 months left to expire. ”

After 20 minutes of the game, the game was still inconspicuous, very unlike Joe's cannon style, Boas whispered: "Wan Xian, Ballack often leans on the middle, Bayern's left promenade is only Lizarazu alone, even if Ze Roberto assists in defense, it can't withstand the impact of Joe Cole and Ramos in turn, I suggest that Kaka also get closer to each other to form a local advantage of playing more with less." ”

Qiao Wan waved his hand, flatly refused, and smiled weirdly: "It's okay, don't worry." Ze Roberto is not easy to control, or Demichelis is a little more relaxed......"

Demichelis was originally a centre-back, but it was difficult for Bayern Munich to shake the absolute mainstay of Lucio and Robert Kovac, and Heathfield preferred to switch to a central midfielder.

For Demichelis, Qiao Wanxian is still relatively familiar with him, he is the favorite general of intellectual engineer Pellegrini, and he is used as the main force in River Plate, Malaga, and Manchester City. However, what interests Qiao Wanxian the most is his "nerve knife" temperament, which often has defensive misposition and low-level mistakes, especially on key occasions. It is precisely because of this that Demichelis, who is firmly in the main force in the giant Bayern, unexpectedly failed to be selected for the German Shijie Cup.

Heathfield abandoned German midfielder Frijns in favour of Demichelis for a cameo, apparently prioritizing his defensive prowess. Qiao Wan saw it clearly and thought clearly, that is, he planned to completely smash all the strategies of the enemy.

A slap in the face is the most painful.

But who would have thought that the Bundesliga overlord would launch a Mourinho-like defensive counterattack!

It was a throw-in opportunity, and Sagnol's not thick arm burst out with an amazing liliang, and the ball was thrown by him more than ten meters and went directly to the feet of Schweinsteiger.

After receiving the ball, normally speaking, Schweinsteiger would often choose to dribble, break through, and use his individual ability to seek opportunities, but this time, he did not stop the ball and took advantage of the situation to make a long pass......

The next stop in football is Peruvian striker Pizarro.

Although he failed to threaten the Chelsea goal with a number of crosses over the past 20 minutes, Bayern Munich had enough faith in him as a player or as a manager.

It was a Chelsea mistake and Bayern counter-attacking with a quick sideline ball. When the ball reached our own back, the suddenness of the counter-attack meant that there were only three men in front of the penalty area: Pizarro, Nemanja Vidic and John Terry.

Pizarro and Vidic jumped for the first time. Captain John Terry showed the quality of a shijie-level centre-back at this time, and he was less than four steps away, taking care to protect the second drop of the ball while keeping an eye out for other Bayern Munich players.

Who would have thought that Pizarro, who has been in an up-and-down state and has always been underestimated, has deceived everyone when handling the ball this time.

Before the ball flew overhead, he struck in an unusually sleek pose in the air, but as the ball was about to hit his head, Pizarro unexpectedly tilted his head to the side.

This sudden stroke of genius made Vidic, who was close to him competing for the top, not find the football at all, only to see a white trace swaying, and a string of wind sounds of "whoosh" in his ears, he did not have the slightest reaction!

Suddenly, an uncontrollable exclamation rang out at Stamford Bridge.

On the large screen at the top of Stamford Bridge, the ball whizzed over the heads of Pizarro and Nemanja Vidic towards the Chelsea penalty area, and beside them, a figure in a red and white jersey sped past like a ignition missile, at a speed that would make the wind blow.

Mr ma!

Dutch striker Mackay scurried in and rushed towards the ball like a red whirlwind.

Single Blade?

Single Knife!
