Chapter 364 Lineup Confirmation
Compared with the Telecom Cup a week ago, Bayern's lineup is relatively complete in this game. Kroos, Ram, Schweinsteiger, Klose, and Badstuber all started, but the most important Neither of them entered the big list, Robben, who was injured and absent, and Ribery, who has not yet fully recovered.

Schalke 04 is much more relaxed. Although the whole team still needs time to get in, Sun Wu and Rakitic did not participate in the World Cup. They have experienced Magath's devil training from beginning to end. The competitive state is maintained well.

From the first minute of the game, the rhythm fell into the hands of Schalke 1. Sun Wu didn't care about a Super Cup, but wanted to find all kinds of loopholes in his formation by playing against giants like Bayern.

The two most important things are the premise of Westerman's position. After Bordon returns to China for retirement, can the new central defender support it? Although there is no Robben and Ribery, Olic and Gomez, Al Tuntop and Klose are not low.

On the other hand, it is necessary to look at the offense and defense on the left, whether Raul can find an opportunity behind Cavani, whether Fuchs' forward advance timing is accurate, and whether his return to defense is timely.

This may be the easiest match against Bayern in the official game, without Van Bommel, without Otter, without Tymoshchuk...

Cross will not follow Sun Wu like a shadow, and when Sun Wu counterattacks with the ball, no one will throw a flying shovel in the diagonal stab.

In the 32nd minute, Schalke 04 launched a counterattack. Sun Wu sent an experimental long pass... The pass was a bit big, but Cavani did not give up. The ball poked open, waded past goalkeeper Kraft, and sent the ball into the empty goal from a small angle.

Tsk tsk, body, speed, explosive power, will and even technique...everything was fully displayed in this goal. Sun Wu rubbed his hands a little excitedly.

"I heard that you recommended the Uruguayan striker to the club?" Kroos suddenly asked in a low voice.

Sun Wu glanced at his friend alertly, "How do you know that!"

"I heard Manu say it in South Africa." Kroos looked at Cavani who was rushing to the sidelines to celebrate, "I'm curious, how do you know which players are not well-known but very good?"

Looking at Sun Wu's puzzled eyes, Kroos added: "I met Hummels the day before yesterday, and he mentioned that you once suggested to Magath to acquire the Polish center forward who just moved to Dortmund..."

Sun Wu twitched at the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked away... This reason is really hard to find. Even if some media newspapers claim that Sun Wu will be an excellent head coach after retirement, it is not enough to start collecting player information at the age of 20. Let's work?

The game was a bit unremarkable. Schalke 04, who tasted the double crown last season, did not have a strong desire (desire) for a Super Cup, and preferred to use it as an opportunity for training; while Bayern Munich was powerless, Most of the main players participated in the World Cup in South Africa in poor condition, and Robery was also absent due to injury.

On the contrary, the cooperation between Fuchs and Raul on the left is getting more and more tacit, but this is also related to Ram being replaced early.

In the 72nd minute, Sun Wu sent a precise oblique ball in the middle. Raul entered the penalty area half-single-handedly and grabbed the ball before the goalkeeper Kraft. Fuchs sent the ball into the penalty area, and Cavani beat Badstuber to head in the empty goal.

2:0.

Kroos, who was standing outside the penalty area, was a little envious. This Uruguayan is indeed very good. In comparison, Gomez is very powerful in the penalty area, but he is incompatible with the team's offensive system.

Van Gaal and Magath on the sidelines were indifferent. Everyone knows that the gold content of this Super Cup is very low, and if they win the Super Cup, there is a high chance of losing the league championship. This is a common thing in European leagues.

In the 75th minute, Magath replaced Sun Wu with Hitzlsperger.

5 minutes later, the accident happened.

Draxler took a corner kick, and Cavani, who took off from behind, was sandwiched between Bad Stuber and Tymoshchuk. When the attacking goalkeeper Kraft pushed the ball away from Cavani's head, the crowd dispersed After driving, everyone saw that both Cavani and Badstuber fell to the ground.

Sun Wu got up abruptly, he couldn't be so unlucky!
The team doctors of both sides entered the field, and after 5 minutes, both Cavani and Bad Stuber were carried out of the field on stretchers.

"How is it?" Sun Wu didn't stay to watch the last few minutes of the game, he went straight back to the locker room, grabbed team doctor Günter Pfeiler and asked, "Is the problem serious?"

"A sprained ankle is not a big problem." Gunter Pfeiler said with a wry smile: "But when he landed, his shoulder was pressed to the ground by the Bayern defender and goalkeeper, which was a bit troublesome."

"Damn it!" Sun Wufei kicked a plastic bottle off the ground, "Where's Badstuber?"

"It's even worse, the cruciate ligament is torn."

The door was pushed open, Magath walked in sullenly, "Time?"

Gunter Pfeiler hesitated for a moment, "The specific situation will have to wait for the results of the hospital, but it should not be less than six weeks."

One and a half months!Sun Wu looked at Magath speechlessly, but the Bundesliga will begin in just over a week.

What's more terrible is that Sanchez, who can play center in the team, has left the team. Asamoah, who played only 4 times in the team last season, has retired. Cavani is injured and no one can replace him. Raul is not expected to play center. .

Although they won the first championship of the season, the atmosphere in the Schalke 04 team was quite depressed. After returning to Gelsenkirchen, Magath called a meeting with the coaching staff overnight. Farfan, Draxler, and Raul were placed in the center position, but the effect was very poor.

It’s okay for Raul to say that after all, he has played as a center forward, but the other two can only play as a virtual center forward, but not everyone can play this game. Magath’s tactical ability can be regarded as excellent, but he still has a little distance from Guardiola. , the latter can be called a "master".

However, Magath still has some money left in his hands. This summer, he introduced many players, but Metzelder, Raul, and Hitzelsperger all joined for free. Cavani is the only one who really spends money. people.

The situation changed in mid-August, and Sun Wu is also responsible for this.

At the beginning of 2009, the comeback Sun Wu chose Wolfsburg as the starting point for a new start, where his best friend was Edin Dzeko. This outstanding big man was invisibly influenced by Sun Wu in many ways.

The biggest impact is that Edin Dzeko's desire for honor or ambition is stronger than in his previous life. After winning the top scorer last season, Dzeko became a big hit in the transfer market.

After a lengthy negotiation, on August 8, Manchester City, which spent a lot of money this summer, brought Dzeko to the Blue Moon with the club's transfer bid king, 11 million pounds.

And just over a week ago, Manchester City just used 3500 million pounds to take Aguero into their arms.

With money in hand, Wolfsburg began to look for Dzeko's successor. In the end, they chose Huntelaar, who was frustrated in AC Milan, and Helmers, Leverkusen.

In this case, Magath took advantage of the mid-air to intercept Mario Mandzukic for 800 million euros. In fact, Dinamo Zagreb had already reached an agreement with Leverkusen to sign the medical examination. However, it is clear that Magath, the double champion for two consecutive years, is much more attractive than Heynckes.

On August 8, Mandzukic arrived in Gelsenkirchen to complete the medical examination.

On August 8th, Mandzukic made his official appearance at the Veltins Arena and started training with the team in the afternoon.

On August 8, in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, Schalke 17 played an away game against German team VfR Allen, and Mandzukic sat on the bench.

The starting center Raul was in vain in the first half. In the second half, Mandzukic came off the bench and created a penalty just 3 minutes later. Farfan hit the opening goal.

In the 75th minute, Farfan reciprocated and counterattacked with a cross. Mandzukic hit the penalty spot and scored his first goal.

Sun Wu, standing in the middle circle, pondered in his heart. In terms of types, Mandzukic and Cavani have similarities, but there are also big differences. But one thing is that both are modern forwards, and both have strong athletic ability.

The arrival of Mandzukic gave Sun Wu more confidence in this season. Farfan, Cavani, Mandzukic, Raul and Draxler...

As for injuries, Sun Wu has decided to equip the most important teammates with medical insurance cards, such as Cavani after recovering from injury, such as Mandzukic who cannot be absent at present, such as the world's best midfield setter Rakitic...
