The victory did not delight the players and fans.

Because the opponent Manchester City has an away goal, and the team's center Lewandowski, after being diagnosed by the team doctor after the game, has a sprained ankle.

To be on the safe side, the team doctor recommends a break of up to a month.

Then we missed the second leg against Manchester City.

Heynckes had a serious problem in front of him.

Against Hertha Berlin at the weekend, Heynckes tried a forward combination of Rossi and Muller.

Since the two are not pure center forwards, Bayern have also changed in midfield.

Martinez was at the back, James was linked in front and back, and Vidal and Thiago took turns to ensure a balance between attack and defence.

In addition, there are two energetic new blood, Tolisso and Goretzka, who give the forward line enough logistical guarantees.

Although it was only a narrow 2-0 win over Hertha Berlin, Bayern's overwhelming control and fluid attack were full of spectacle.

The next opponent in the league is the fuse that led to Carlo Ancelotti's dismissal, Bayern suffers from Borussia Mönchen.

Playing away from home, Heynckes did not relent, using young and more impactful players to attack Borussia Mönchenchen.

In the first 20 minutes of the first half, Rossi scored two goals and took the lead.

In the second half, Bayern even used a devastating offensive, scoring one goal each by Muller, Gnabry, and Koeman, defeating the opponent 5:0 and avenging the first encounter.

A week later, Bayern beat Wolfsburg 6-0 at home, showing their dominance in the Bundesliga.

At the end of the 25th round of the league, Rossi was firmly on the scorer list with 14 goals.

In the Champions League, he finished behind Messi's eight goals with six goals.

Rossi is growing into a striker that will strike fear across Europe.

On the personal honor display cabinet in the honor room, Rossi is also missing a very important award - the European Golden Boot.

In the last 11 years, a total of four players have won this award, namely Diego Forlan, Suarez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

Among them, Diego Forlan won 1 time, Suarez won 2 times, Ronaldo won 4 times, and Messi won 5 times (in the 13-14 season, Ronaldo and Suarez shared this honor with 31 goals).

Judging by Rossi's current league goal total, it will be a bit difficult to compete for the European Golden Boot this season.

Because so far, Messi has scored 20 goals.

The reason for this is that Messi has unlimited right to fire at Barcelona.

And Bayern will not concentrate the team's firing rights on one person.

Even if Lewandowski is injured, Bayern will not hand over the burden of attack to him.

This has also caused Rossi to score league goals every season in the Asian Championship.

But compared with Messi and Ronaldo's 30+ data per season, there is still a big gap.

In the big win over Wolfsburg, Heynckes was vaguely aware that Rossi, who had been replaced early, was a little unhappy.

He's hungry to score!

But he was replaced early in preparation for the important Champions League second leg in midweek.

Heynckes, who once won the Golden Boot in the three major European Cups as a player, understands Rossi's thoughts very well and empathizes.

The goal of a striker is to score goals.

But now that the pressure of European competition is so huge, he doesn't dare to let Rossi work too hard, resulting in injury or fatigue, which affects the team's combat effectiveness.

But the emotions of the players also have to be soothed.

On Tuesday, the entire Bayern squad flew to the city of Manchester, and two hours after arriving at the hotel, the squad began training.

For this training session, Heynckes was only open for an hour for the media to film.

The remaining hour and a half is a closed session.

During the time given to the media, Heynckes was on the sidelines, having a twenty-minute one-on-one conversation with Rossi.

This scene was also captured by the media and put on the front page.

At the moment, Rossi is a very important player for Bayern, and being interviewed by the head coach alone before the big game is enough to attract the attention of the media.

Then, at the press conference the next day, media reporters also asked questions about this.

Heynckes laughs: "Rowe is one of the key players in the team and I would love to take the time to talk to him. And he is also very smart and we had a great conversation! ”

When asked by reporters about the details of the conversation, Heynckes said calmly: "It's a difficult question to answer because it involves some tactical arrangements for our game tomorrow night. ”

After hesitating for a while, he said slowly: "I'm just telling Rowe that you are an absolute top striker right now, and I will let you catch up with Messi's goal tally." But tomorrow night, what you're going to do is help the team win. ”

In a word, it not only shows that he strongly agrees with Rossi's position of strength, but also makes you unable to disobey orders.

Took Rosie to death.

If Ancelotti is a kind and kind father, it makes people feel very affectionate.

Then Heynckes is Mario Puzo's godfather Corleone, which is awe-inspiring.

The strikers are hungry to score, but what the team needs is to win.

These are the words that Heynckes conveyed to Rossi through the media.

The game will start at 8 p.m. sharp.

As soon as night fell, fans began to pour into the Etihad Stadium.

The North Grandstand, also known as the Family Grandstand, is a special grandstand where you can bring your children to watch the game.

Manchester City's strong rise this season has given fans hope of winning the title.

Fans brought their children to witness the team's highest honour step by step.

In order to create the atmosphere of the home stadium, fans held blue and white team flags, waved non-stop, and sang the Beatles song "Hey, Judy!" in unison. Immerse yourself in the blue ocean.

“Na na na na na na……”

“na na na……”

“hey Jude！！！”

The singing continued until both teams entered, and then stopped.

Manchester City starts.

Goalkeeper E: Desen Moritte.

Backline: Danilo, Laporte, Stones, Kyle Walker.

Midfielders: David Silva, Gundogan, B Silva.

Forwards: Sane, Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling.

Manchester City's main centre-back John Stones returned from injury, but Zinchenko was suspended for a red card.

Otamendi, Fernandinho and De Bruyne returned from injury and were on the bench.

Away Bayern starts the game.

Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer.

Defence: Alaba, Hummels, Boateng, Alphonso Davies.

Two midfielders: Vidal, Thiago.

Midfielders: Koeman, Muller, Gnabry.

Center Rossi.

Bayern's injury squad is also not optimistic.

Kimmich and Martinez are suspended for accumulating yellow cards.

Tolisso and James are injured and are exempt from fighting.

Manuel Neuer and David Silva came to the centre circle to guess the coin, with home Manchester City kicking off first.

After the whistle was blown by Italian referee Osato, singing was heard again in the stadium.

City switched to a 4-3-3 formation, but once the game started, the full-backs on the side with the ball would press forward to make it a 3-3-4.

Then the winger adducts in and attracts the defence, and the full-back can get into that gap.

Manchester City did so solely because Bayern's right wing-back Kimmich was suspended, and the young Alphonso Davies was called on to take him by surprise.

Just two minutes into the game, centre-back John Stones played the ball down the wing and was played straight by B-Silva to Walker in front.

Taking advantage of the fact that the opposing defender did not enter the game, Walker burst into the box with the ball and crossed from the bottom line.

Sergio Aguero cut diagonally into the box and shot at goal.

Boateng quickly fell to the ground and slid the tackle and used his body to block the shot off the line.

[Manchester City, who won the EFL Cup, is full of confidence in this game! ] 】

[At the beginning of the game, use a through ball to penetrate Bayern's side! ] 】

[Almost got off to a dream start!] 】

[This is a knock on the mountain! 】

[Next, let's see how Bayern takes over!] 】
