Generally speaking, if a team loses to an opponent in an important match such as the Champions League final, the next time they meet that opponent, they will definitely promote the word "revenge".

For example, "We must take revenge", "This is a perfect time for revenge", "This is really a great time for revenge", ah...... This kind of thing.

On the one hand, it is to heat up the atmosphere of the game, and on the other hand, the media also needs this gimmick.

But this match between Lazio and Bayern Munich is special.

Before the game, Bayern Munich did not release any cruel words, saying that they wanted to settle accounts with Lazio.

The media in Munich also seemed very low-key, and the coverage of the game was also very normal, and there was nothing to fan the flames.

If you just look at the pre-match atmosphere in this game, you will think that the relationship between the two teams is very good, this is their first meeting in the Champions League, and there is no previous record of any head-to-head meeting.

Because the peace is peaceful.

But in reality, this is not the case at all.

Bayern Munich is a team that Lazio has seen more times in the Champions League.

Not counting this time, they've already played each other three times.

Two were in the knockout stages and once in the Champions League final.

A total of five games.

In fact, in terms of historical head-to-head records, Bayern Munich has the upper hand. Twice they met Lazio in the knockout stages, and they eliminated each other.

In five games, they won one, drew three and lost one.

If only the last five games were analysed, one would think that Bayern Munich had the better chance of winning this one.

But in fact, the game that Bayern Munich lost was unforgettable, because they lost in the Champions League final.

Reaching the Champions League final two years in a row should have been a remarkable achievement.

But......

But twice in a row he has been a foil to the best team in today's football, once to foil Barcelona, and once to make a green leaf for Lazio.

Especially the second time, they lost the Champions League final without a match.

The first time they lost to Barcelona, they still scored in the final, and in the end they only lost 1:2.

In the match against Lazio, they lost a 0:4, both from the scene and the score, they lost without words.

The defeat was also a wake-up call for Bayern Munich, who intend to change the future of the entire team this season.

For this, they fired the Dutch coach Louis van Gaal. Coach Heynckes was brought in from Bayer Leverkusen.

However, in the first year, they did not ask Heynckes to make any demands on him, and did not put pressure on him.

At a minimum, Bayern Munich is guaranteed to play in next season's Champions League.

This is almost no difficulty for Bayern Munich in an environment like the Bundesliga.

So Heynckes equals no pressure.

It all started with the Champions League final against Lazio.

The Germans were completely convinced by that game, and they realised that it was time to make changes, not only in terms of personnel, but also in terms of tactical thinking.

Lazio and Barcelona swept across Europe with football, winning two six-time titles in a row.

Such brilliant results naturally made other teams want to learn again.

And with the media's in-depth analysis of tiki-taka tactics, more and more people know how to play tiki-taka.

When Heynckes arrived at Bayern Munich, he studied with Lazio. On the basis of tiki-taka, speed is incorporated.

Because Bayern Munich has such an advantage.

Their two wings, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, are both very fast players.

※※※

Because of the above reasons, the smell of gunpowder in this game is not as strong as people think.

Heynckes was very low-key before the game.

Chang Sheng's annoying big mouth didn't spray everywhere either.

In fact, the main reason for this situation is that Lazio is in too good shape and too strong.

Let Bayern Munich's defeated men not be able to resist the idea of revenge.

Think about it, how funny and idiotic it must be for you to shout the slogan "I want revenge" against the only team in European football that has won all seasons so far......

Would anyone believe it?

I'm afraid that I won't even believe it.

So far, Lazio have not lost a single game, a draw, a draw, a single match, a draw, a single match, a ...... Win all!

Such a result has never been seen in European football, and it is completely absent in history.

Lazio's form this season has been unprecedented.

After winning Italy's first treble, the team did not disintegrate, and instead of losing the desire and glory to win, it was stronger, in better shape, and had a deeper desire to win.

They are like a pack of wolves that never have enough to eat, chasing every victory.

In such a state, Bayern Munich did not think that they would have a chance to eliminate this opponent.

In fact, to be able to draw at home to Lazio and break their winning streak of the season is already a remarkable achievement – if they could.

Because the opponent is too strong, such a strange atmosphere was formed before this game.

That is, both sides are polite.

But everyone knows that Bayern Munich's politeness is a last resort, the opponent's strength is too strong, they are not polite, but they are afraid of losing even worse. Because Chang Sheng is a cautious bastard, and if you provoke him, wait for him to get revenge.

Lazio's politeness was that Bayern Munich was completely ignored.

This is not to underestimate the enemy, this kind of ignorance is completely domineering.

Because for Lazio, they really don't care about the quarterfinals, and their goals are all finals.

If they are caught in a bitter battle here, doesn't that mean that they are too incompetent?

※※※

When Lazio arrived in Munich, they received media attention, and in Munich, they were even welcomed by Lazio fans from Germany.

This made Lotito, the president of the club who came with the team, very happy.

Before, such a thing was unthinkable.

Now, Lazio also has their own fans overseas!

This is the result of Lazio's continuous performance over the years.

Think about Lazio going to Qatar to play the Club World Cup, how those rich West Asians treated Lazio with respect.

This is a concrete manifestation of Lazio's growing influence abroad.

In Munich, Lotito will also give an interview to the German media about the rise of Lazio.

It's also a good way to promote your club, and Lotito won't turn it down.

It seems that the 4:0 in the Champions League final completely convinced the Germans.

In that case, it is good news, and hopefully the winning team will have a smooth ride and a win at the Allianz Arena.

Lotito thought to herself.

※※※

When the focus of the battle kicked off on time at the Allianz Arena, Lotito, who was sitting on the podium, didn't think so.

Because Bayern Munich has shown great tenacity.

It's completely different from their pre-match low-key peace.

Of course, their tenacity is not in attack, but in defense.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that "Bayern Munich's players are simply blocking eye-catching defenses with their bodies".

Heynckes used running to restrain Lazio's attack in this game.

The line of thought is the same as Allegri's tactical thinking in AC Milan's vs Lazio match.

Maybe Heynckes was inspired by watching that game, but not necessarily?

However, Bayern Munich are clearly much more prepared than AC Milan.

Because Heynckes has been working fitness since he took on this team last summer.

Because from that moment on, he knew who he should let Bayern Munich learn from......

It can be said that today it is the students who beat the teacher.

Because of the preparation, Bayern Munich had to cope with it with ease.

Unlike AC Milan and Lazio, they ran out of energy in the first half.

That would certainly give them the lead and score.

But it also put them in an unsustainable situation in the second half.

Bayern Munich is much smarter.

They didn't demand to be able to completely suppress Lazio in the first half, as long as they could put Lazio under enough pressure in key areas that Lazio couldn't attack properly.

In this way, their physical consumption is definitely not as large as that of AC Milan, and their physical reserves are also more abundant than those of Lazio.

So they're going to be much more comfortable and relaxed than AC Milan.

If all goes well, they will be able to hold on until the end of the game.

Although they can't score, they can also prevent Lazio from scoring.

For them, it was not easy to draw 0-0 at home to Lazio and it was worth celebrating.

As for winning?

They don't even think about it.

Under the guidance of such a tactical idea, Bayern Munich played resolutely.

After just ten minutes, Lotito in the stands frowned, and he felt that Chang Sheng might have hit a hard bone.

Even harder than AC Milan in the first half.

※※※

The director of the live broadcast also seemed to know this, and at this time, the close-up was cut to Chang Sheng.

It seems to want to tell the audience that this game feels like a test for Chang Win.

So what will Chang Sheng's expression be now, and what countermeasures will he make in a while?

Chang Sheng's face in the close-up is expressionless and looks very calm.

If you only rely on this lens, you don't want to see what Chang Sheng's heart is thinking.

"I think Lazio will have more of that in the future...... Ever since Mazzari's Napoli came up with Lazio Fitness, Allegri's AC Milan have first thoroughly incorporated this idea into their tactics. Now it's Bayern Munich's turn again...... This is a situation that Lazio has to face. It's like they used to have to face all sorts of stubborn defenses and defensive counter-attacks. Lazio's victory was won by confronting and solving problems again and again, but what about this time? ”

So said He Ping, a commentator for China's zhōngyāng TV station. (To be continued.) )
