Chapter 166: Challenging Munich
When the last game, Heathfield followed Qiao Wanxian back and forth and announced the starting lineup in advance, but the home game was very well hidden.
It wasn't until before the start of the game that Qiao Wanxian finally knew the starting lineup of Bayern Munich.
The goalkeeper is No. 1 Kahn, right-back is No. 2 Sagnol, the two central defenders are No. 3 Lucio and No. 5 Robert Kovac, and the left-back No. 69 Lizarazu. Not much has changed at the back.
However, the midfield has changed a lot.
Double midfielders No. 23 Hargreaves, No. 8 Frins, No. 20 Salihamidzic on the right, No. 11 Ze Roberto on the left, and No. 13 Ballack in the front.
Heathfield have stockpiled five big men in midfield and are clearly aware of the strong control of Chelsea's midfield and intend to compete with Chelsea in midfield. Hargreaves was unsuspended, Demichelis came to the bench and Salihamidzic returned to the main team...... It can be said that Heathfield has undergone a major makeover in Bayern's midfield.
However, the most confusing thing is not the midfield, in the attack, Heathfield actually gave up Mackay and Pizarro and chose the No. 33 Guerreiro to start. Can the Peruvian striker, who grew up in Bayern's academy, really achieve the effect of a surprise soldier?
From 6 p.m., a large number of Bayern fans began to wear the home team uniform, or wrap the club scarf, and bustle in line to check in for admission.
The atmosphere at the home of the German team is one of the best in Europe, and almost every fan who watches the game wears the home team's jersey, which at first glance is very shocking.
Before the game, Bayern Munich's honorary chairman Beckenbauer ambitiously shouted the slogan of reaching the Champions League final, and the team's coach Heathfield was also full of confidence in an interview with Bild: "We will beat Joe's blue army at the Allianz Arena to create a miracle, which not only represents Bayern, but also represents the glory of German football." At this moment, I am sure that all Germans will support us! ”
In fact, Heathfield was right.
At this time, the whole of Germany is expecting the Bundesliga giants to teach Joe Cannon a lesson at home. Before the game, Joe's rhetoric was very fanning, and even directly elevated the clash between Chelsea and Bayern Munich to the national team level of England and Germany.
In recent decades, England is at a serious disadvantage against England and Germany, and Chelsea wants to help the England national team save face in English football?
The idea is haode, but ...... Hum! Don't use Germany as a stepping stone!
Although Qiao Wanxian has a good impression of the German media, the competition between fans is ...... It's still in dire straits.
With half an hour to go, the atmosphere was already in full swing. There had been a lot of friction between the home and away sides at the time of the previous entry, and the fans on both sides began to attack with pleasure.
British and German ...... A pair of rivals ever!
It doesn't seem like it's a game anymore, it's a war, a war of football!
For a time, the stands were flying back and forth with water bottles, fruit cores, coins and other fan lethal weapons. Huge numbers of German fans tried to outnumber these enemies from afar, but England fans were known for their savagery and fierceness, and there were many cases where they won more with less.
"The game is about to start and fans on both sides have already kicked off the pre-match pre-match with their fiery tempers in the stands, and the Englishmen have once again shown their rude side to the whole shijie!"
Since the outbreak of the Heysel tragedy, the quality of England fans has been questioned by the whole Shijie, and the Bayern commentator of this game is obviously a staunch patriot and merciless criticism. The large-screen footage on the scene also cooperated very well, accurately aimed at the Chelsea fans in the stands, and the exposed black pressed chest hair looked really terrifying.
After ten minutes of noisy and fiery atmosphere, the cheers erupted like a tsunami, instantly sweeping the entire stadium, and a huge wave of sound seemed to be something tangible, rising into the sky, blowing a large hole in the clouds in the sky.
The players from both sides lined up and walked out of the tunnel in this obscuring sound.
The on-site master of ceremonies tore his throat like a chicken blood and began to chant the name of every home team player, and with each person, the sound of the Allianz Arena in Munich would climb one by one.
"Oliver...... Kahn! ”
"Hargreaves!"
"Vicente Lizarazu!"
"Michael...... Barack! ”
"Torsten Frijns!"
"Ze...... Roberto! ”
……
After chanting and introducing the players of Bayern Munich, people originally thought that the on-site emcee named Michel Spid would introduce the opponent Chelsea according to the usual practice, but where did he think, he directly threw a sentence: "Let's look forward to the victory of the game!" ”
That's the end!
She had no intention of introducing Chelsea players at all!
The more than 50,000 German fans in the stands were slightly stunned, and then hahadaxiao greeted them with heroic cheers.
There is no doubt that the guy named Michels Speed gave Jo Wanxian and the Chelsea players a big disadvantage, and only used a small gesture to convey the attitude of the German towards the opponent of the game.
A game is a game, and on the pitch it's an enemy, but it's far from being as friendly as it is off the pitch.
Soon, the referee from Italy blew the whistle for the start of the game in full anticipation.
The competition is officially on!
In an instant, it was as if two heavy cavalry fighting to the death on the prairie made the most direct, savage, frontal, and violent charge.
With two tackles from Claude Makelele and Hargreaves, Chelsea and Bayern Munich kicked off a killing night with their own actions.
Bayern Munich's 4-5-1 formation has shown their determination to compete with Chelsea in midfield.
Isn't Chelsea known as invincible in midfield and in the world? Then let's give it a try!
Take a look at Bayern's midfield 5, Ze Roberto, Ballack, Hargreaves, Frijns, and Salihamidzic are all strong and fierce players; On the other hand, Chelsea, although there are also five people in the midfield, only Makelele has the intensity and trembling scramble.
CCTV commentator Tao Wei said before the game: "It is clear that Heathfield intends to disrupt the fluidity of Chelsea's midfield with a tough style of play. Just like in the first leg, at Stamford Bridge, Heathfield's midfield four had already achieved good results. The 5 midfielders in this game are highly intensively hoarded, and the two sides will definitely set off a white-hot competition in the midfield. ”
"Yes, but Chelsea's midfielder Claude Makelle is back from injury, and although he is still a single midfielder, he is certainly much better than Scott Parker in the first leg. I think Chelsea can play with a couple of Bayern players in this game between applause. ”
Qiao Wanxian's popularity in China is extremely high, and the commentator Duan Xuan subconsciously praised two sentences, but he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. Tao Wei is a die-hard Bayern fan, and sure enough, I saw his ugly face on one side.
On the pitch, the game was intense.
Due to the impact of Qiao Wanxian's Toda and Kaka's transfer turmoil, Chelsea did not conduct adaptive field training in advance. The unfamiliarity with the pitch limited the flow of Chelsea players, and of course it was directly related to Bayern's ferocious scramble.
Ten minutes before the game, the two sides were evenly matched.
In the 14th minute of the game, England midfielder Hargreaves kicked a through ball from the edge of the penalty area to give Bayern's odd striker Guerreiro a good chance to shoot.
But perhaps the reason for the tension and pressure was that the Peruvian youngster's one-on-one effort from near the penalty spot was too angled and was hit off the crossbar by Cech with the instep of his foot.
Bayern Munich won the first corner of the game.
The Bayern fans in the stands cheered after their regrets, more happy than having scored!
Because, for them, this is a very good sign, at least it shows that in the face of the man who has set the most incredible winning streak in the top five leagues, the team they support is not without hope of victory.
Hargreaves takes the corner.
In the penalty area, Sevilla central defender Vidic's header cleared before Ballack, but the football did not fall far, Bayern Munich left-back Lizarazu met the ball and shot angrily!
