Chapter 387 Bayern in the deep doldrums
Portuguese giants Benfica are the second club in history to win the Champions League, having reached the Champions League final seven times.
Benfica is also known as the "Eagle" because the club has an eagle as its mascot.
There are also quite a few stars from Benfica, Eusebio, Rui Costa, Nuno Gomez, Caniggia, etc.
The team's hottest star today is Joao Felix, who is only 18 years old.
It is said that he is the most powerful contender for this year's European Golden Boy Award, attracting the attention of many giants.
On this trip to Lisbon, Rossi was not selected for the squad because of a cold and stayed in Munich.
At this time, everyone found out that Rosie would actually get sick too.
The high attendance rate and extremely low injury rate make fans worship it as a god.
Unexpectedly, Rosie, who was stopped by anyone, was actually stopped by a cold.
Ahead of the trip to Lisbon, the fans were also confident in the team.
Even without Rossi, with the current team's lineup, it can easily win.
But no one expected that Bayern would be forced to draw away from home.
The lineup didn't change much, the tactical play was clear, but it didn't score.
The form of the players is surprisingly poor.
Shots that were close to goal didn't take their chances.
After the game, the German media unceremoniously failed the whole team and even attacked the head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
The norm of a winning streak will quietly become the fuse of the collapse at a certain moment.
Back in the league, fans thought they would recover after this small upheaval.
What people didn't expect was that Bayern faced Augsburg at home, fell behind in the first 89 minutes, and finally relied on Rossi's assist to Lewandowski to make a difficult comeback.
The oppressive atmosphere quickly made Ancelotti aware of the crisis.
He started working on the player's mindset and wanted to make a difference.
But Bayern lost to Hertha Berlin in the league.
Give the top spot in the standings to Borussia Dortmund.
Three games without a win instantly pulled Ancelotti from the altar position.
Some German media began to question his tactical backwardness and was no longer suitable for the current Bayern team.
In both games, Ancelotti's command was terrible.
Rossi was caught up in endless runs before scoring the face-saving goal.
His offensive ability is still there, but he no longer has the aura and chic he had before.
Even after the goal, Rossi continued to shoot the ball angrily, venting the pent-up emotions in his heart.
In the unfavorable situation of the team, An Fat's substitutions did not work.
The few young players who tried to keep before were mediocre and did not have the role of last season's surprise soldiers.
All this points to Ancelotti.
Ancelotti, who was caught in the storm of media accusations, showed extraordinary calmness.
On the training ground, he is still an old man walking with his back on the sidelines.
In the face of the media, his humor always defuses the crisis.
But the loss rang the bell for An Fat to get out of class.
With a four-game winless streak, Bayern host Ajax.
Bayern fans used a huge Champions League trophy banner to cover the entire east stand of the stadium, and the momentum was impressive.
But the condition of the players is far inferior to that of the fans in the stands.
Matthijs De Ligt.
The 19-year-old Dutch centre-back showed a composure and maturity at the Allianz Arena.
He can not only resist the impact of Lewandowski, but also make up for his teammates in time, command the defensive line, and try to protect the city gate.
Rossi's four offsides in this game can be seen in his ability to command.
Offensively, he hit three headers in the box, all of which were within goal range, and also scored a goal.
In the end, Ajax beat Bayern 1-0 away and took away three points.
Behind Matthijs De Ligt's highlight performance is the confusion and helplessness of Bayern's players.
Five games, 3 draws and 2 losses, the invincible Bayern, the recent sluggish performance, caused dissatisfaction among fans.
Not only the head coach, but even Rossi, Lewandowski, Muller, James and others have not been spared.
The next game is to face the bitter master Menxing, and the media unanimously believes that this is Ancelotti's last chance to redeem himself.
On Friday, after training, Rossi drove a sports car out of the training base and met waiting fans, holding sarcastic signs to vent their dissatisfaction.
Driving a sports car and playing a shit-like game, where can the fans tolerate it.
I don't know where the ice cream flew out of nowhere, and it smashed directly into the car window.
Back at the apartment, Pixie looked at the stains on the glass and became a little worried.
Since being with Rossi, she has not seen him treated like this by fans, and the recent negative media news has been unanimously aimed at him, which makes her a little uneasy.
"I'm going to have to bother you to wash the car again, Pixie!"
Rosie looked relaxed.
Pixie hugged him from behind and said softly: "Luo, if you can't stay here, let's go back to the UK, with your current strength, where can you go to play?" ”
Rossi frowned slightly, and said, "Who has been looking for you recently, is it Omar?" ”
With just one sentence, Rosie sensed a hint of abnormality in his girlfriend.
Pixie, who didn't dare to hide it, told the story as it was.
This summer, Riyad Mahrez, who moved to Manchester City, quickly became a regular under Pep Guardiola.
Recently, Bayern has been in the dark news, and he wants to take the opportunity to invite Rossi to join Manchester City and play in the Premier League together.
That may be what their manager Pep Guardiola thinks.
Two years ago, he may have looked down on Rossi as too lazy and unproactive defensively.
But the growth of these two years has slapped those managers who look down on Rossi.
Among them is Pep Guardiola himself.
Not defensive?
How Rossi used pressure to make the goalkeeper miss.
After listening to his girlfriend's report, Rossi smiled: "You, care is messy, I am very grateful that you care about my situation, as for the transfer, I have my own ideas." ”
Pixie knew he had always had a point, and since he said so, he didn't bother with it anymore.
I'm just afraid that if I continue to stay here, I will usher in more verbal attacks from fans.
It's normal for a team to have ups and downs.
Especially Bayern, in the previous two seasons, the most impressive defeats were the Champions League and Real Madrid's penalty kicks.
Other than that, it seems that there has never been a loss.
Coupled with the glory of the five-time crown at the beginning of the season, it began to make the players appear to be underestimated.
Once this emotion spreads, the recovery time is uncertain.
The previous Chelsea was affected by many aspects, and it will go directly from the championship to the relegation battle.
Even if you can't let a giant like Bayern plummet, it has a great impact on the mentality of the players.
Rossi was also affected because of Ancelotti's tactics.
Rossi, who has been identified as the core, needs the support and cooperation of the team.
If his teammates are not in good shape, it will be difficult for him to save the team on his own.
This is also the embarrassing situation in the previous game, he spent nearly 8 kilometers to run to score a goal.
Therefore, the game of Borussia Mönchen at the weekend is not only Ancelotti's self-help, but also a key game for Bayern's rapid recovery.
