i want to be king

Chapter 682
Bayern's summer training location is still chosen in Donaueschingen.

This is Bayern's luck. In the past three years, the team's training camps have been chosen in this small town on the edge of the Black Forest, which has brought Bayern extraordinary luck. Therefore, the Bayern giants and Heynckes are somewhat superstitious about this place.

After a week of training in Donaueschingen, the team headed to Salzburg, Austria to challenge the Red Bull Salzburg away.

In the first warm-up match, Bayern's performance was not satisfactory. They were almost forced to a draw by the Red Bull Salzburg in the away game, but in the end it was Su Dong's goal that helped Bayern narrowly win the away game [-]-[-].

This battle is not only Bayern's first warm-up match of the new season, but also a farewell match for former Bayern player Niko Kovac.

The time that the Kovac brothers played for Bayern is not counted, and the elder brother Niko Kovac only played for two years. The two brothers happened to join the team during the dark period of Bayern. In fact, they did not get much praise.

But when Niko Kovac's Salzburg Red Bull sent an invitation to Bayern to attend Niko Kovac's farewell match, Bayern still agreed without hesitation.

In this regard, Bayern is still very humane, which is related to the fact that the club's management is all professional players.

Today, many former legendary stars and celebrities, including Gerd Muller and Sepp Meyer, are now playing in the club's management or coaching staff.

If you really want to talk about football genes, Bayern should be regarded as the team with the strongest football genes among the many giant clubs in Europe. Even the top three giants are legends in the past. Looking at European football, can you find a second team?

……

The day after the Salzburg Red Bull game, Bayern returned to Munich and participated in a friendly match with the fans' representative team.

In the past two or three seasons, Bayern has been going overseas, ignoring domestic fans. Although the international market development effect is gratifying, Munich is the foundation of Bayern.

This year, Bayern's training camp is rooted in China, so a friendly match with fans was specially arranged.

Needless to say, Bayern beat the fan representative team with a big score of [-] to [-].

This is the difference between football fans and professional players.

In fact, many of Bayern's fan representative team have received formal youth training, and they are all amateurs who play amateur leagues all the year round, but in front of real professional players, especially top professional players like Bayern, they are simply vulnerable.

If it hadn't been for Bayern to stay strong in the end, the fan representative team would lose even worse.

However, the game is a big score, but the atmosphere is very good, this is not a game at all, but a show.

Heynckes also gave every first-team player a chance to play, some played half-time, and some played a dozen, 10, 1 minutes. Obviously, he also hoped that they could show themselves in front of more than [-] fans.

In particular, some local rookies, including Bud Stubel, have aroused fans' pursuit.

……

The first Deutsche Telekom Cup was held at the Schalke Stadium.

The four teams invited to participate, the protagonist is Bayern Munich, and the other three are Hamburg, Schalke [-] and Stuttgart.

Different from other competitions and cups, the Telecom Cup has a special format.

The four teams fight each other two by two. The winners of the semi-finals will join the finals, and the losers will compete for the third and fourth places.

The four games were played in two days, and each game was divided into two halves, but only three and 10 minutes.

If the two sides are tied within 10 minutes of the game, it will go directly to the penalty shootout.

Although it is a sponsor game, it is also a warm-up match.

Heynckes hid the main players in the first half, and the result fell behind Hamburg [-]-[-].

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Bayern sent their main players to play. Su Dong scored two goals in a row, helping Bayern reverse Hamburg [-]-[-] and reach the final.

A day later, still at the Schalke Stadium, Bayern faced the winners of the other match, Stuttgart.

Not long after the opening, Sudong assisted Thomas Muller to score a goal, and then Olic made another victory.

Before the end of the first half, Su Dong sealed the victory for Bayern.

Subsequently, both teams made substantial substitutions in the second half, and neither team was able to score.

In the end, Bayern defeated Stuttgart [-]-[-] and won the first Deutsche Telekom Cup.

Although it is not an official event, it is also a cup championship after all.

It is not difficult to see from the two warm-up matches that the strength of Hamburg and Stuttgart has improved significantly, especially Hamburg.

Peking University has invested a lot of money this year, and it is obviously ambitious to make a difference in the new season.

…………

…………

With the suspension of the German League Cup, since last year, Bayern and Dortmund made an appointment to host the German Super Cup.

Although the German Football Association and the Bundesliga have turned a blind eye, the official has never recognized this cup.

This year, Bayern still took the lead and invited Werder Bremen, who was runner-up in the cup, to host the German Super Cup again. As a bargaining chip, this game was held at Weser Stadium in Werder Bremen.

Although it still has not been officially recognized, sponsors and TV stations have carried out live broadcasts one after another, and [-] fans walked into the Weser Stadium to cheer for the two participating teams.

The game was very intense, and Bayern scored the first goal in the No.201 minute.

Taking advantage of a corner kick, Su Dong assisted with a header and Pepe scored a goal.

The header connection between the two has always been a major killer in Bayern's set-piece tactics.

Afterwards, Werder Bremen took advantage of Bayern's defensive error and stole a goal, successfully tying the score.

But after changing sides in the second half, Toni Kroos made a cross and Su Dong hit the goal from a small angle, which once again made Bayern overtake the score.

In the end, relying on Su Dong's one pass and one shot, Bayern defeated Werder Bremen [-]-[-] and successfully defended the German Super Cup.

Although it has not been officially recognized, whether it is the media's publicity or the discussion of the fans, this event is called the Super Cup. It is not difficult to see from this that this event has achieved initial success.

It was just seeing the clues, so the German Football Association also came forward to say that it is seriously considering the long-term holding of the German Super Cup.

Needless to say, seeing the profit, the Football Association came out to pick peaches.

But Bayern and the Bundesliga team are also happy, after all, this is also a traditional game.

…………

…………

After playing the German Super Cup, Bayern ushered in another warm-up match.

The opponent is the unanimous underdog from Stuttgart, Stuttgart Kickers.

This friendly match was organized to commemorate Kicker's honorary chairman Metzel, and Bayern was also invited to participate in this warm-up match out of morality.

Since they had just played in the German Super Cup, Bayern played with a full bench in this game.

But even so, Bayern still beat their opponents with a score of ten to zero.

The teenager Thomas Muller scored a hat-trick in this game, and Klose, Olic and other players also scored goals.

Although there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides and the game does not have much practical significance, it is also a joy to be able to beat the opponent. Bayern also practiced their coordination routines through this continuous running-in.

…………

…………

Returning to Munich from Stuttgart, Bayern ushered in another sponsorship game, the Audi Cup.

This is also part of the sponsorship contract.

But the advantage is that the standard of the Audi Cup is obviously higher, and all the world's top teams are invited.

This year's four teams are Bayern against AC Milan and Manchester United against Boca Juniors.

The four games were also played in two days.

And this is also the last warm-up match for several giant teams before the start of the European League, which is of great practical value.

……

Facing AC Milan in the semi-finals, Bayern took advantage of the home field advantage at the beginning of the game and played with momentum.

In the 8th minute, Su Dong received a cross from Robben and volleyed 18 meters in front of the goal, piercing AC Milan's goal and opening the scoring for Bayern.

Four minutes later, Thomas Muller scored another goal, extending the score to two to zero.

In the 209th minute, Thomas Muller made a cross from the right of Lahm. Thomas Muller quickly inserted the ball to the back and flew the header to the middle.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Zambrotta was denied the ball in his own half in 6 minutes. Franck Ribery crossed and Schweinsteiger sent a through ball from the left rib.
This is Bayern's first appearance at the Allianz Arena this season, and Sudong used a hat-trick to please the home team fans.

Subsequently, Heynckes made consecutive substitutions, and Su Dong was also substituted.

The two teams played more and more. First, Pirlo scored with a direct free kick, and then Thomas Muller made another goal, and finally locked the score at [-]-[-]!

Bayern beat AC Milan and reached the final of the Audi Cup.

……

A day later, the Audi Cup final.

After Manchester United's difficult victory over Boca Juniors the day before, this game rotated eleven players.

But for Bayern, Su Dong still starts.

No. 18 minutes, it was a goal from Su Dong, which opened the scoring for Bayern.

This goal also maintained until the end of the game.

In the end, with Su Dong's goal, Bayern beat Manchester United [-]-[-] and won the Audi Cup.

……

Deutsche Telekom Cup, German Super Cup, Audi Cup.

The season has not yet started, Bayern has won three championship trophies.

Although they are all warm-up matches, the gold content is not low. The opponents are either Bundesliga powerhouses or European giants, and Bayern has shown strong dominance and competitiveness.

Su Dong performed steadily as usual, Ribery and Arjen Robben and other players also performed normally. The most surprising players in the warm-up match were young players such as Thomas Muller, Toni Kroos, Budstuber and Hummels.

These players have shown a very high level in this summer's training and preparations. They not only won the praise of the media and fans, but also made Bayern management and the locker room recognize their strength.

Some voices even began to appear, saying that more efforts should be made to support local players.

And through the series of outstanding performances in the summer training camp, Bayern directly raised the expectations of the media and fans for the new season to the full. Everyone believes that Bayern will be the best choice for the Bundesliga champion in the new season.
