heir to the red devil

Chapter 1097
Hearing what Phelan said, Kintag also nodded: "Wayne, you have been in good form recently. If you can keep it up, you may still have a chance to catch the last train of the World Cup."

Rooney smiled bitterly: "An 'old man' like me will not be seen by Southgate. My national team journey has long since ended."

Several people were chatting, talking about their recent life, the food in Germany, and the weather here, as if they were on vacation.

In fact, when Rooney just left Manchester United, his relationship with Kintag was very cold.However, as time went by, the relationship between the two eased a lot.After all, Rooney's departure was also due to the issue of contract renewal salary. He and Jin Taige had no direct conflicts.

Especially last summer, in the Shuangde farewell commemorative match, Jin Taige and Rooney met again, and the relationship between the two gradually warmed up.Although not as good as before, we can still be regarded as ordinary friends.

It is precisely because of this that there is media speculation that Rooney may leave Bayern this summer and return to Manchester United.

Now a few people are chatting without mentioning tomorrow's game at all. Everyone can avoid this topic.

Rooney invited Kintag and the others to have dinner, but Kintag politely declined: "Wayne, the players are still waiting for us to have dinner together. I appreciate your kindness. If I have a chance to go back to Manchester, I will treat you to dinner."

"Do you want to eat that delicious Chinese food?"

"necessary!"

Everyone laughed.

On the way Rooney drove home, he also recalled the scene of chatting with Kim Tag just now.He looked at everything on the side of the road, and the German language made him feel very strange.

Although he has been here for four years, he still misses England and everything there.

Maybe, I should consider going back...

At six o'clock the next evening, the Allianz Arena was already full of voices.

There is still more than an hour before the game will start, and the fans have begun to enter the stadium one after another.

At this time, players from both sides also walked out of the locker room and went to the court to warm up before the game.

On the sidelines of the court, Kintag met the old coach Heynckes. The last time the two met was at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.At that time, Jin Taige won the honor of the best coach in 2017, which was awarded to him by Heynckes.

When we met again today, the old man seemed very cordial.

"Best coach, long time no see." Heynckes said with a smile.

Jin Taige said modestly: "Old man, in front of you, I am just a student, and you are the world's top football coach."

Heynckes looked at the Allianz Arena, he was a little emotional: "Sometimes I really envy you, you can get all the honors at such a young age. Your football journey is still very long, but my Football is coming to an end. After this game, maybe I have two more Champions League games, maybe one more, and it will be the last time I will fight for the Champions League."

Kintag smiled and asked: "Old coach, don't say that, maybe one day you will come back to Bayern. You are the flag of the Allianz Arena."

The old coach looked at Jin Taige and said seriously: "I am ready for this game, young man, you may encounter many difficulties."

And Jin Taige also replied very seriously: "Today will definitely be a wonderful game, I wish the old man good luck!"

Among the Manchester United players warming up on the court at this time, Kroos was passing the ball with De Bruyne and moving his limbs.Once again set foot on this familiar stadium, Kroos was filled with emotion.

Looking at the people wearing Bayern jerseys on the opposite side, many of them are old acquaintances of Kroos.Even so, he still didn't go over to say hello.

On this stadium, there are no old Bayern players, only Bayern's enemies!
Like Kroos, Rooney did not go over to say hello to his Manchester United acquaintances.He saw the familiar Ashley Young and Valencia. When he was at Manchester United, Rooney had a good relationship with them.However, they did not start this game.And Rooney is Bayern's starting striker today and is about to play.

This is better, so as to save acquaintances from being unnatural when they meet each other on the field.

On their respective benches, Kintag and Heynckes are studying each other's starting lineup.

Recently, the coaches of the two teams have watched countless opponents' game videos, and the two sides know each other very well.There are no secrets about the lineups of both sides, and the style of play is also very open.

Both teams are teams with distinct characteristics, and there are top players on all lines. Today's game is very difficult for both sides.

Despite this, the two coaches are still using the last time to think about the team's tactical arrangements and adjustments after on-the-spot changes.

After the warm-up, in the locker room of the visiting team, Kintag did not make any tactical arrangements.

"Guys, the tactical play of this game, I have said it many times, and we have executed it many times, so I don't want to say more. Bayern made some changes in this game. They played 4-5 before. There are more -1s, and they chose 4-4-2 in this game. This formation is relatively balanced, and their biggest advantage is the combination of the two wingers with Robery."

"It is no exaggeration to say that the Robery combination is definitely the top three wing combination in the world! Our wing defense task is very heavy in this game. Alonso and Kimmich, you two shoulder the heavy burden in today's game! In the game, you should be as conservative as possible, and don't press easily and give Robery a loophole behind."

"Van Dijk, Koulibaly, you have a heavy task today. You have to be careful of the inside cuts of the Robery combination, especially Robben. His inside shots are extremely difficult to defend! So you must strengthen your defense ... Kanter, you should also try to help the defense and protect the position in front of the penalty area."

"Their two forwards are Rooney and Muller. Neither of them is a traditional center forward. They have a wide range of activities and strong passing ability. For the two of them, we will adopt a zone defense method today. Don't be confused by them."

"Bayern adopted a 4-4-2 formation in this game. They want to maintain a balance of offense and defense; and my request is also very clear-seek stability in the away defense and seize the opportunity to break fast!"

At this time in the locker room of the home team, the Bayern players were very serious, sitting quietly in their seats and listening to Hai Shuai's final arrangement.Hai Shuai once again explained the tactics of flying both wings to the players, and the players also kept it in mind.

Heynckes looked around, looked at all the players, he knew the importance of this game, and the players knew that this game must be won.Only by winning this game can they face the next game more calmly and play at Old Trafford more safely.

Heynckes was silent for a moment, looked at the players, and said a word slowly but firmly.

"This game must be won!"
