Therefore, this week has been very hard for Tong Yi and the players of Munich 1860.

Tong Yi hopes that the players of Munich 1860 can cheer up and get into the rhythm of the game.

Munich 1860's opponent in the first round of the Europa League was Bratislava, a powerful team from Slovakia. Even in Slovakia they can be called a wealthy family.

Before Czechoslovakia was disbanded, Bratislava was a strong team in the league. Moreover, it was the Slovak team that won the most league championships at that time, winning a total of 8 domestic top league championships. In 1969, they defeated Barcelona 3-2 and won the European Cup Winners' Cup.

After Slovakia became independent, they won a total of 8 domestic top league championships and 6 cup championships, including 4 league and cup doubles.

This team is truly a powerhouse.

Last season, they finished second in the league, losing to Srina by just three points, but they won the domestic cup. It can be said that they are still the top team in Slovakia.

Tong Yi is still very cautious about such a team.

Tong Yi doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.

After all, the Europa League is a breeding ground for upsets, and he doesn't want to be eliminated in the first round.

Tong Yi directly said to his own players, "This is a very crucial game for our league. This is the first European war for our team Munich 1860, so I hope you can give one percent." When you are in perfect condition, you can defeat your opponent and advance to the next round."

Senderos shouted loudly, "Understood, we will definitely defeat our opponent!"

Tong Yi also said, "Don't underestimate our opponents. They are Slovakia's top teams. We must show our best form. Do you understand?"

The players of Munich 1860 nodded and said they understood.

Tong Yi actually also understands that Bratislava will definitely think that this game is their opportunity. After all, Munich 1860 is only a newly promoted team from the Bundesliga. They were still a Bundesliga team last season. They will definitely The people are no worse than Munich 1860.

Our opponent Munich 1860 has been in the Bundesliga for several years. They have been away from the European competition for a long time. This is their huge disadvantage, but we are different. I believe that we can defeat

Munich 1860, we have the strength. "

Shipp was very confident at this time, as if they had already won.

Shipp also faced questions from media reporters and said, "Tong Yi? This Chinese coach? To be honest, I don't know much about him. At present, I only know that he got the position of head coach of Munich 1860 through a woman. , I think I am very confident in facing any opponent. Because except for my mother when I was a child, I have never relied on any woman. What I rely on is strength. We must win this game!"

See, Heap is so confident.

Shipp was born as a player and almost always plays in China, where he is considered a good player. After his playing career ended, he became a coach. Served as assistant coach and head coach for many teams. He once became the assistant coach of the Slovak national team in 2003 and 2006. In 2008, he stayed in the Slovak national team again as an assistant coach.

He has been the head coach of Bratislava since last season.

In Tong Yi's memory, he has heard of this guy's name, because in 2012-2013, this guy became the head coach of the Slovak national team.

Therefore, this one still has some strength.

No wonder, he is so arrogant now and does not take Munich 1860 seriously at all.

Yes, in his eyes, Munich 1860 is probably a German second division team.

Yes, there is still a gap when they face the Bundesliga team in Bratislava, but they are very confident when facing the Bundesliga team. At least Hipp is very confident!

Seeing Shipp's confidence, the fans in Bratislava are also full of confidence. They also firmly believe that their team can defeat 1860 Munich and advance to the next round of the Europa League.

He was even a native of Bratislava, Slovakia for the first time. He did not support his hometown team in this game, but supported Munich 1860, which surprised Tong Yi and the others.

Later, he accidentally learned that there was a player in Belgium nicknamed Tintin, who said he looked like the protagonist of the cartoon. So he began to lock up De Bruyne and became a die-hard fan of De Bruyne.
