Chapter 407: Towards the Six Crowns
On Tuesday, Rossi caught up with the final training session before the game.
The opponent is AFC Champions League champion Kashima Antlers.
Kashima Antlers, known as the "Killer of the Weak Team" and "The Specialist of the Big Ball", have stable results as their biggest feature.
Asian teams are inferior to European teams in terms of overall strength, due to differences in physical fitness and training style.
As more and more Asian countries learn from the modern football of Europe, the scientific training method has improved the physical fitness of players.
Speed and agility are the characteristics of Asian players, so dexterous technique, fast running, and relentless scrambling have become the main ways for clubs in the J-League to develop players.
In response to this, Heynckes also held a discussion meeting in the afternoon.
Although Rossi came from the European youth system, he is Chinese at heart and has the same physical conditions.
But he can become a world-class striker, which makes Bayern players impressed, and they dare not underestimate their opponents.
Bayern's Hummels, Jule and Martinez are all slow defenders who turn around and can be passed by the dexterous Kashima antlers striker if they are not careful.
This is also the most common way for Asian teams to attack against European teams.
"Luo, what do you think?"
Also Asian, Rossi's statement would be more convincing.
"Teamwork and aggressive running are their biggest weapons, and if you want to beat them, you have to break their teamwork first."
"As long as they can't run, 1v1 will definitely not win us!"
The 1v1 mentioned by Rossi is a heads-up situation formed by Asian teams with rapid advancement.
In such a situation, the defender will subconsciously take care of the ball carrier and receiver, and it is easy to be blown up by the agile player.
If the defense line is in place and you concentrate on defense, it is rare to be able to break through the defense directly.
Heynckes nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, this is the characteristic of the Japanese team. They have a high success rate when counterattacking, but there is no way to do positional warfare. ”
"So, the first thing we have to do is to block their cooperation!"
Immediately afterward, Heynckes drew the high pressing tactics of the game on the tactical board and patiently explained how each player should do in their respective positions.
The meeting did not end until 6 p.m.
At the pre-match press conference, the most asked question from the Japanese media was about Rossi's transfer.
In fact, this is also a psychological warfare, which will more or less affect the mentality of the players and affect the game.
Heynckes smiled, did not answer, and skipped the question of the reporter and let another reporter ask the question.
The Japanese reporter was very embarrassed by the lack of answers, because the matter had already been clarified by the authorities, and Heynckes could refuse to answer questions that had nothing to do with the game.
Besides, what level of coach is Heynckes, it's not interesting to ask you questions, and you deserve to be embarrassed in front of everyone.
After the warm-up, players from both sides returned to the locker room and waited for the announcement to enter the stadium.
Captain Manuel Neuer is making the final mobilization.
"In our national league, there are a lot of players from South Korea and Japan, don't underestimate them."
"But I'm glad that Rowe is our teammate."
At this time, Mueller shouted in a broken Chinese.
"little Japan!"
Although his teammates didn't understand it well, they immediately echoed Mueller's serious and excited look.
"little Japan!"
"little Japan!"
Rosie laughed widely.
Muller, this joke is more than dare to say anything.
Don't say I taught it!

In the players' tunnel, the two teams are lined up for entry.
Rossi looked at the number 30 player opposite, Yuki Abe, who was only 19 years old.
This is one of the few players in Heynckes to pay attention.
He has good speed and skill at his feet, and it is said that he is getting the attention of La Liga teams, and perhaps in the near future, he will enter La Liga.
He was stared at by Rosie, uncomfortably.
After all, with Rossi's current achievements, it is a real proof that Asian players can also gain a foothold in the top league.
It is the idol they worship.
But Rosie didn't like to be adored by them.
They are just opponents.
As soon as the two teams entered, there were cheers and tsunami cheers.
In addition to some Bayern fans who felt on-site support, many local fans wore Bayern's No. 4 shirt, which was completely at home.
With the bonus of this atmosphere, Bayern captain Manuel Neuer won the tee off when he guessed the coin.
Moments later, both players were in position, with Rossi standing in the centre circle, waiting for the whistle to kick off.
Kashima Antlers' head coach Tsuyoshi Oiwa has been staying at Kashima Antlers since the player retired, starting as a head coach for 6 years.
Just one year after becoming a regular, he led the team to win the AFC Champions League, and the scenery was infinite.
But just now, Da Yangang, who was still full of confidence, felt the oppression and majesty from the famous marshal when he shook hands with Heynckes.
Masaka, this is the temperament of a world famous handsome?
Drip!
The whistle pulled him back to reality and Bayern went on the attack.
The speed and ability are a notch higher than the previous competition.
In just a few seconds, Oiwa felt the pressure from the best team in the world.
Kashima Antlers are a regular 4-4-2 balanced formation that allows players to quickly adapt to the pace of the opponent's game.
But today's Bayern is extremely excited.
After a few passes, Bayern pushed through the half and distributed the ball to Koeman.
The French winger used his speed to force his way down the opposition wing and cross from the bottom.
Kashima Antlers' full-back Nishidashi didn't even have time to interfere with his feet.
Doubts instantly crossed Koman's mind.
Is this really the best team in Asia?
The cross came to the middle with precision, Lewandowski jumped up with his legs, leaned back slightly, gathered enough strength, and pushed the ball hard.
Kwon Chun-tae stood in place, his face changed greatly, and his hands were subconsciously raised, just to block the ball.
It's not that he reacts quickly, but it's a high-speed flying and arcing cross, and it's not easy for Lewandowski to get it.
And Lewandowski didn't expect it to be passed on so easily.
It's just bad luck that the top is too right.
Even if Kwon Chun-tae doesn't stretch out his hand to block it, he will hit him in the face.
Ooh!
Just as the fans were lamenting their disappointment, a figure suddenly hit the small penalty area and landed at the spot.
Stopping the ball,
Shoot!
Everything looks so easy and chic.
The only one who can do such a thing is Rosie!
