After avenging last season's league defeat with a three-goal win away at Vicenza, Fiorentina will face Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in the Champions League group stage in the coming week.

This season has been a terrible one for Bayern Munich, and although they have received strong reinforcements such as Ze Roberto and Frings in the summer transfer market, the ageing of key players such as Fink, Thomas Link and Kufuor has caused the top giants to drop significantly, and they are no longer the top team that could compete with Fiorentina for the Big Ears Cup two years ago.

However, neither Bayern Munich's top nor the players at the bottom have a clear understanding of this. In their view, Bayern are still the top European team that can lead Manchester United for most of the game, only to miss out on the trophy because they let their guard down at the last minute, and the current decline in the Champions League is only because the main players have not recovered from the fatigue brought by the World Cup, plus carelessness did not taste a win in the first two rounds of the group stage.

Such a view is very marketable among Bayern supporters, and in the eyes of fans, this team with Elber, Sauer, Ze Roberto, Frijns and many other famous players definitely has the strength to compete for the Champions League trophy, and they will definitely play in this match against Fiorentina with due style and make a name for themselves with practical actions!

However, in the group stage of the third round of the Champions Cup, the Bayern fans who came to the Olympic Stadium in Munich to cheer for the home team can be said to have come with excitement and defeat. Although the Bayern players tried their best to win their first Champions League of the season by taking advantage of their home advantage, Fiorentina, who played in full force, firmly grasped the initiative on the field from the start of the game and did not give the home team any chance from start to finish!

The 29-year-old turned Bayern's backline upside down with his strong physique and sprinting ability comparable to most speedy strikers, and scored goals in the 13th and 28th minutes respectively to help Fiorentina build an early two-goal lead. Vieri's striker partner and best friend Inzaghi also had an excellent performance in this game, sealing the win for the team with a goal, which fully demonstrated his power as a top goalscorer!

The icing on the cake for Fiorentina was the current leader of the German national team, Michael Ballack, a midfield superstar who could attack and defend as the game drew to a close, with a trademark back-cut shot that broke Kahn's 10-finger barrier to extend the score to 4-0!

Looking at the Bayern players who were embarrassed by Fiorentina's fierce defensive counterattacks and almost breathless pressing defense on the field, as well as the bloody 4:0 score on the big screen hanging over the stadium, Bayern fans sitting in the stands watching the game, and Hoeness and Rummenigge watching the game in the VIP box, and other Bayern executives finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

"It turns out that the reason why the team will perform so well in the Champions Cup this season is not just because of the sequelae of the World Cup." After seeing Kahn's goal scored by Fiorentina for the fourth time, Hoenessmo rubbed his chin and analyzed with a pensive expression, "Karl (Rummenigge), I think we need to do a big purge next summer. Looking at the team's current performance, it is clear that it is time to completely tear down and rebuild. ”

"Well, you're right." Rummenigge nodded and agreed with Hoeness, "As things stand, most of the players who were in the main position in the team last season have been in a very serious decline since the start of the new season. For example, in the current starting backline, the other three players except Kufuor and Sagnor are all veterans in their thirties, Thomas Link and Oliver [Kahn] are 33 years old, and Lizarazu is 34 years old. ”

After thinking about it, Rummenigge added: "Moreover, even Sagnol and Kufuor are not very safe at the back. Kufuor has been a defensive stalwart in the past, and at the age of 26, he is a true prime age for defenders. However, the early death of his beloved daughter in an accident this summer has completely destroyed his spirits, and his competitive standards have plummeted since the start of the season, and there is still no sign of recovery. I suspect that Kufuor will probably collapse because of this, and will never be able to return to the peak form of the year, should" (Note: Kufuor's daughter actually died in January '03, and the time was advanced by more than three months due to the need for the plot.) ）

"And Tolsten Fink and Michael Tanat." Seeing Rummenigge start to think about the goal of purging next summer, Hoeness also pointed out some players he had planned to send away for a long time, "They are not young, and they are already past their prime, so it is best to send them away as soon as possible to make room for those good seedlings with more potential." ”

With the German national team's heavy defeats at the '98 World Cup and Euro 2000, the tradition of most German clubs reusing veterans has been greatly changed, and many team managers have begun to change their mindset and increase their efforts to develop young players, rather than relying on veterans as before. The likes of Deisler, Claudio Pizarro and Hargreaves all joined the Bundesliga in this situation, but Bayern still has a long way to go if they want to truly rejuvenate the team.

"But fortunately, there is no strong opponent in the domestic arena this season that can compete with us." When it comes to things related to the league trophy, Rummenigge can't help but sigh out, "Dortmund is in the midst of a financial crisis, the players can't concentrate on the game at all, and the record has dropped a lot, and this season will definitely not be able to compete with us for the league title; Bayer Leverkusen was poached by you two of the most important generals, and they are still worried about relegation after losing the midfield engine, and they can't care about making trouble for us at all; Other teams such as Schalke 04, Bremen and Stuttgart, despite their quality and some good players, are still not on par with us, so there is no cause for concern. ”

"Well, as long as we can keep the league this season, as for the Champions Cup, that's it for the time being, next year we'll be there." As managing director of Bayern Munich, Hoeness values the Bundesliga title far more than it does in Europe. In his eyes, the league is the foundation of a club. So, Hoeness can accept the reality of the team's poor performance in Europe, but he will definitely not tolerate the result of losing the league title!

Therefore, under the guidance of this thinking, Hoeness and Rummenigge, who were watching the game in the box, did not consider the question of changing the coach, but were just thinking about which teams to poach from next summer and complete the rebuilding of the team as quickly as possible!
