princely elegance

Chapter 50
Capello and Heathfield are really a bit of a bitter brother nowadays.However, although they each sympathize with each other, football has always been the winner is king, and there has never been mercy.Now that Capello has fired first, Hitzfeld will naturally not be a turtle.

In an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the old coach who took over the Bayern coach recently talked about his prospects for this crucial game. In his eyes, although this year's World Player of Football Cannavaro joined Real Madrid, Real Madrid's defense is still Not much improved.

"The coach can't solve Real Madrid's defensive problems. Capello is a master of defensive strategies, but he can't change this in a short time. Just look at the goals they conceded in La Liga this season. He knows Real Madrid is fragile, so Since the beginning of the season, we have been adopting the tactics of double midfielders to strengthen the interception of the midfielder. In the first round, Gago played as a single midfielder beyond my expectations. I have to admit that he is a genius, but if the second round is still a single midfielder If the formation of the waist, I will let him know that he is still too young."

"Our chances of progress are greater than 50 per cent. We have shown that we can put a lot of pressure on them and we know how to exploit the weaknesses in the opponent's defense. At the Allianz Arena, we have the psychological advantage, and the away-to-home schedule is very difficult for us. Favorable. Just two goals away, I will show the fans a classic comeback!"

Hitzfeld's words made all Bayern fans very excited. The old coach has a high prestige in the hearts of the fans.His status in Germany can be said to be Bosque in the hearts of Real Madrid fans, and his past resume also shows that he is the top coach in the world.

However, although the old coach showed a confident look in front of the media, many media knew that Bayern's real situation was not optimistic.

Real Madrid's two midfielders are injured, and Bayern is not without injuries. Brazil's central defender Lucio suffered a big toe contusion in last Saturday's 3-2 away game against Hertha Berlin, while Bosnia and Herzegovina's midfielder Salihamidi Odd sprained his left knee during Monday's practice, and both are likely out early Thursday.The only good news is that the main left-back Lahm returned from injury at this critical moment. He took a rest on Monday and did not participate in training.

But even if this is the case, the situation is still very bad. Even fans who don't understand football know how important Lucio is to Bayern.He is the only world-class defender in the Bayern lineup, and his dominance on both ends of the offense and defense can make all fans feel at ease.Now it is heard that he may not play. Among the results of media speculation around the world, the probability of Real Madrid winning has reached 70%.

"Hmph, maybe I won't appear, it's just a smoke bomb!"

However, when Capello heard the news, he just snorted disdainfully, and he used this method a lot.Before the game, he intentionally spread the news that his team's general was injured, making the opponent underestimate the enemy. During the match, he made the opponent feel that his prediction was wrong, and then he lost his mind and finally collapsed.

"What if Lucio is really injured?"

Tactical coach Luis put forward his own point of view, thinking that this is a rare opportunity. If there is no defense line against the Brazilians, he believes that the tactics should be modified to score more goals and kill the suspense of the game in the first half.

"In this game, he will definitely play, not to mention that he is not injured, even if he is really injured, as long as it is not serious, Heathfield will let him play!"

Capello came to his own conclusion very decisively, and his analysis of this game was correct.The second round was a real battle of life and death for both sides.Today's Bayern can only fight for this honor. In this last glimmer of hope, they will definitely break the boat and use all their strength.

The assistant coach present heard what Capello said, and he didn't object anymore. After all, he is the head coach, and he only needs to refer to the assistant's opinion.

However, Capello also played a trick. He has been hiding his roster and did not announce it in advance.False and real, this kind of means can be played by you and I can also play.You said that you have two players injured, our Beckham and Reyes are really injured, but as long as I don't announce the roster, you can guess!
Sure enough, Hitzfeld frowned at Capello's hiding.His formation has been greatly affected. One thing Capello guessed correctly is that Lucio will indeed play. Can't do it.Although Real Madrid's defense line is scumbag, their attack line has always been world-class.Without him, the back line can't hold back at all.

But he has to do some work in the midfield. Hargreaves, Van Bommel and Schweinsteiger will definitely play, but the remaining one is Demichelis or Salihamidi strange.The former is better defensively, but what they need now is to score goals. Although the gap between the two goals cannot make them desperate, it is still a lot of pressure.

"I'll tell you to let that kid Gago be the single midfielder!"

Hitzfeld finally made up his mind and put Salihamidzic in the starting lineup. Now they have no way out, and they must attack aggressively to have hope.

But when it came time for the game, Hitzfeld found himself underestimating Capello's shamelessness.

Emerson, Gago, Diarra!

Capello directly put up a three-back midfielder. Although he expected that Real Madrid, which had a goal difference of two goals, would defend and counterattack, he did not expect that he would put up his face and put on a defensive formation.

The back line is the impregnable Torres, Ramos, Cannavaro, and Carlos; in addition to Gago and their three midfielders in the midfield, Raul and Higuain serve as avant-garde, and Ruud van Nistelrooy single-pointed forward.The standard 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree formation is indeed very suitable for the current scene.

When Sissfield got Capello's starting lineup before the game, his face immediately turned dark. Although Real Madrid's defense line is not strong, but the number of people has piled up, and the poor defense line will become an iron wall.But you still have to show your confidence in front of the players.

"I don't need to say how important this game is. Real Madrid played in a defensive formation, which means they are afraid of our attack. We need to score two goals and not concede a goal to reach the quarter-finals. Is it difficult for us?"

"It's not difficult!"

Van Bommel was the first to yell out, and he yelled loudly. He has now established his prestige in the locker room with his outstanding performance. As he yelled, many players yelled.And the shouts of those players drove all the rest of the players, and for a while, the momentum in the locker room rose to the extreme.

"Very well, then, I won't say much about the unnecessary things. The tactics that should be arranged have also been rehearsed. Let's create a miracle!"

It has to be said that what Heathfield said was very tempting, and instantly stimulated the state of all the players to the limit.But he knows it's superficial and if they don't score in the first half, or allow Real Madrid to score, they'll be routed quickly.This season's Bayern is more fragile than he expected.In Effenberg, after the old generation of Matthaus left, Bayern lacked a sense of blood. They are now like Real Madrid, and it is time to change their blood.

At this time, Heathfield envied Capello instead. He had half a season longer than himself. After cleaning up the superstars who disobeyed him, he supported young people like Gago and Higuain. .As long as he is still in Real Madrid next season, he might be able to re-form a team not inferior to the peak white giants in 96.

It has to be said that Hitzfeld and Capello know each other very well, and Capello really thought about changing blood for Real Madrid in the summer.But these have to wait until he can stay in the post, and in order to appear at the Bernabeu next season, this game must be won.

"Look, I just said that Lucio will play, everything about them is under my control!"

After Capello got Bayern's starting list in the locker room, he began to cheer up the Real Madrid players, but his trick is also very effective. The head coach is wise and powerful, and it will also greatly increase the confidence of the players.

"Fair, your position should be higher in this game. Remember, you have to connect to the midfield and don't let your opponent pinch you!"

In this game, Gago is more of a central midfielder, and he needs to connect the entire team in the midfield.This is a very novel attempt, but Gago feels that he can do this, after all, he has all the potential that a central midfielder should have.He needs a fierce game to stimulate his talent, so that he can truly become the world's number one midfielder.

When the two sides stepped onto the court, the atmosphere between each other could be said to be on the verge of breaking out.His face was tense, as if the other party owed him money.

When Ma Kai shook hands with Ruud van Nistelrooy, the cameras on the scene were all aimed at these two people. Everyone knew that Ma Kai had always regarded Ruud van Nistelrooy as his lifelong opponent.It's just that Van Nistelrooy's expression was very calm. From a calm point of view, Van Nistelrooy won the victory, and Ma Kai was too excited, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he wanted to challenge Van Nistelrooy.

Before this game, the players on both sides rarely fought a war of words, because the head coaches of the double-reversals attracted the attention of the media to themselves.

After Gago and the others came to Munich, they were ordered by Capello not to be interviewed by the media, and they sat in the hotel wholeheartedly, and then became familiar with the venue.Bayern also tacitly restrained their players and trained with all their heart. After all, they lost the first round, and they really started a war of words. This cannot be refuted.

After Raul and Kahn, who took the lead, quickly separated, they didn't even bother to say a word.

Before the game started, the fans at the scene began to boo loudly. It has to be said that the fans in Germany are much better than those in Spain.They really created an advantage in their own home court, so that the voices of the five thousand Real Madrid fans who came with the team could not even make a splash.

The referee blew the whistle and Real Madrid kicked off!
