北京时间2月27日凌晨2点,央视五套同步直播05-06赛季德国杯半准决赛,慕尼黑1860对阵斯图加特的比赛。

In such a moment of silence, the male fans lowered the volume to the lowest level and held a can of beer, while the female fans pulled their husbands and sat in front of the TV waiting for the start of the game.

When the starting lineup flashed on the TV screen, many fans felt a little disappointed because Shao Jiayi's name did not appear in the starting lineup.

Some people swayed from side to side, got up and turned off the TV and went to sleep, but more people chose to continue to watch the game. If they initially paid attention to the 1860 Munich team because of Shao Jiayi, a large part of them now People, from only liking Shao Jiayi alone, rose to liking the whole team.

"Sports Weekly" conducted a survey a few years ago. The data shows that among non-Bundesliga fans, 1860 Munich is the second most famous team after Bayern Munich. Among non-fans, many people have only heard of Munich. In 1860, I had never heard of Bayern Munich because "there were Chinese players playing in Munich 1860" and "they seem to have a handsome coach".

CCTV host Huang Jianxiang was in charge of explaining the game tonight. After a little thought, he immediately understood the reason why Shao Jiayi did not start: "According to the current policy of the German Football Association, there is no limit to the number of foreign players in league games, but in the German Cup, There is a limit of 3 foreign aid places, that is to say, only 3 non-German players can play. Karl Oston sent Portillo, Dzeko and Dante in this game. Their nationalities are respectively It's Spain, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Brazil, so there is no other spot for Shao Jiayi."

Shao Jiayi will not play in the game, which will naturally reduce the appeal of the game to Chinese fans, but Huang Jianxiang, as a senior CCTV commentator, is not old-fashioned. He is well versed in the skills of attracting fans with other topics: "Many Fans should all remember the golden voice commercials that have been rollingly broadcast in various David TV commercials since years ago. Although many people on the Internet are complaining that the commercials are poorly shot, I have to admit that its effect is very deep. People's hearts..."

As soon as this remark came out, many fans laughed angrily and happily: How can this be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is simply haunting!Guangxi Golden Throat Group has done a great job. It not only bought the prime advertising time of CCTV and local David TV, but even made the idea of ​​this year’s Spring Festival Gala. The advertisement was broadcast on TV every day, and many people watched it too much during the day. The phrase "Protect your throat! Please use a golden voice!" appeared in my dreams at night.

"Guangxi Golden Throat Group doubled its turnover in the first quarter of this year. It is reported that they plan to go public in five years. However, these have nothing to do with our football matches. What is relevant is that they are said to be planning to invite Munich 1860 this summer. The team came to China to visit the factory, and the Munich 1860 club has not yet given a positive reply. It should be evaluating the gains and losses of the China trip... If there is no invitation from the Chinese team to play a friendly match, the China trip will not bring much commercial value to the Lions. "

Music was playing in the Allianz Arena, and the players and coaches of the two teams began to enter the stadium.

Seeing Carl, Huang Jianxiang suddenly became gossiping: "British tabloids have been hyping up something these days. It is rumored that Carl Oston and Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo jointly adopted a racehorse. It is said that it is a racehorse. It's just a juvenile pony, but it's pure blood. Now the media all over the UK are speculating about what kind of name this horse will be given, and how it will perform in the field after training and adulthood..."

……

"The referee's whistle sounded and Stuttgart took the kick-off."

"Ex-Milan Danish star Thomasson kicked the ball to Grünschall, who was holding the ball and tried to make a breakthrough towards the 1860 Munich half-time...Lars Bender pressed, Grünschall wanted Turned to pass, but Sven Bender was on the other side of him... Nice tackle! No foul! Sven passed the ball to Russ, who accelerated forward with the ball..."

The first wave of cheers erupted at the Allianz Arena less than a minute into the game, and the Lions fans were excited for the team's aggressiveness.

Perhaps today God did favor 1860 Munich, who played at home. Lars easily brought the ball into the Stuttgart half, and then passed it to teammate Ozil.

Ozil's breakthrough in the middle was harassed by the Stuttgart player Meera. He passed the ball to Sven. Meera approached Sven, and the latter immediately knocked the ball back a few seconds later.

Munich 1860 firmly controlled the ball, and Stuttgart's defense was retreating quickly, and some of their central defenders even used a sprinting posture.

Perhaps because he is good at chess, Ozil is good at reading and controlling the game. His long passes are often as accurate as a scalpel, but he also has a weakness, that is, when facing the opponent's rough close press , Often the choice is not to directly confront others, but to pass the ball.

Just like now, Özil, who has already dribbled the ball to the right of the penalty area, saw Stuttgart defender Del Pierre rushing towards him viciously, and kicked the ball towards the center of the penalty area reflexively.

There are two Munich 1860 players in the Stuttgart penalty area, one is Portillo and the other is Dzeko.

The ball was a bit crooked and too high. Portillo, who was guarding the middle of the penalty area, couldn't catch it, but Dzeko, who was on the left side of the penalty area, took off on the spot and just caught the ball!

Dzeko made a diving leap to the top of the rapidly falling football!

"TOOOOOR! Dzeko scored a good start for 1860 Munich! And now the game is not even 3 minutes away!"

At the moment when Dzeko scored, Carl raised his hand with a smile, and clapped a few times with the enthusiastic calls of the fans.

Since the outbreak of Dzeko, the team has gradually scored more headers, and the aerial offensive power of Munich 1860 has been effectively supplemented. If the team's air defense ability can also perform so well, it will be perfect.

The Munich 1860 players began to run back and wait for the re-kick-off. Karl stood on the sidelines and waved his arms at them, asking them to continue to strengthen their offense in the next game.

……

Not only defense can stabilize the situation, but also offense.

When the opponent has no backhand power due to continuous attacks, the situation on the court is completely in the hands of one's own side.

In the 19th minute, an attack organized by Stuttgart was resolved by Dante and Yankel in the midfield, and Yankel handed the ball to Johnson.

Johnson hit Ozil horizontally, and Ozil knocked back again after taking the ball for a few steps. In this back and forth pass, Munich 1860 once again bullied Stuttgart into the half.

In the 21st minute, Özil suddenly lifted his right foot and launched a beautiful diagonal long pass from the backcourt, which was passed directly to the team's left.

Portillo passed through Stuttgart's defense at lightning speed. He was about to raise his foot to shoot in the middle of the penalty area, but was suddenly tackled to the ground by Stuttgart defender Babel who emerged from the side.

Portillo rolled on the ground holding his right leg, frowning, but he didn't cry out. After pressing his right leg with both hands to confirm that the pain was not severe, he stood up with the support of his teammates.

And at this moment, the referee's whistle sounded.

The referee first asked about Portillo's situation, and then awarded a penalty to 1860 Munich. Because Babel's foul action was not serious, he only got a yellow card instead of a red card.

No player was sent off, but Stuttgart coach Almin Fei still looked like a bolt from the blue: being awarded a penalty kick in such an important game basically lost more than half of the chance of victory.

Portillo shook his right leg, turned to his teammate Dzeko and said, "Do you take the penalty?"

But Dzeko shook his head, looked at Portillo's steady posture and said, "Of course you take the penalty."

Portillo stood in front of the penalty spot, took a deep breath, and raised his right hand.

When the referee blew his whistle, he struck out like lightning, and instantly hit the middle and lower part of the football with his right foot!

A sharp arc!

Stuttgart goalkeeper Hildebrand pounces to the left of the goal!

But the football went into the net from the right side of his body!

"Oh oh oh oh!" The fans cheered with their heads up and their mouths wide open!

Carl thought with relief: Javier's penalty kick rate is much higher than last season. The soft-footed shrimp in the past has now become the team's penalty shooter, which shows that his mentality has really become stable. , is no longer the kid who likes to worry about gains and losses.

……

At the end of the first half, 1860 Munich had a 2-goal lead, while Stuttgart had no points.

When half-time passed five minutes and the players celebrated their first-half lead, Carr put his hands down and said: "It's not the time to be happy yet, we haven't won the final so try to stay calm, boys. .”

The players controlled the degree of cracking at the corners of their mouths, and the locker room gradually became quieter.

"I've told you countless times, don't underestimate your opponent, it's the leader's worst enemy. Stuttgart are not a team in the middle and bottom of the league, they are sixth in the table and Armin Fei will definitely do something in the second half Trying to change the situation, in fact, even if it is a regional league team, it is impossible to stand still on the court and wait for us to abuse, so you have to be calm in the second half and consolidate our lead, you know?"

"Yes, boss!" The players replied obediently.

"Our tactics remained the same in the second half, but we had to play more steadily, Javier, Edin, and control the active area within the midfield when not attacking."

"Christopher, Dante, move the defense back a little bit, don't go too far forward."

"Mesut, Lars, increase the ball possession..."

The cup is not a league. The league schedule usually lasts from August to May of the next year. There are more than half a year and more than 8 tug-of-wars. Even if you fall down once in a while, you can get up quickly. Similarly, the German Cup is a single-elimination system, and 5 Munich, which wants to go further, cannot afford to lose even a game.
