long live football

After a brief appearance in London, Karl rushed back to Munich without stopping, where there is still a whole team waiting for him to command.

It was already morning after getting off the plane, he drove directly to the training base, and then stood outside the court to observe silently without disturbing the players: Even if there was only one assistant coach to supervise, the players behaved honestly In fact, they sweated in different training programs according to the plan, rarely talked to each other during exercise, and no one deliberately cheated.

The discipline shown by the players satisfies Karl.

Many fans often wonder why many players who become famous at a young age and have excellent talents fail to reach the heights people expect in the end?Why are there so many short-lived meteors in football?In addition to the irresistible factor of injury, can a player be ruined so completely by just a sentence of "poor self-control"?

Just imagine, if there is such a talented player, when others go to bed at ten o'clock every night, he clubs until two or three o'clock in the morning; Calorie food, alcohol and even drugs destroy his body; when others train hard during the day or even give him extra meals, he is drowsy and tries to find various opportunities to be lazy; when others study football skills in their spare time, But he was thinking about how to enrich his private life... How could such a person maintain a high competitive state for a long time?

No matter how high the talent is, it can't help being wasted unscrupulously. It's the best ending for these players to lose everyone. Some people even have their lives ruined because of this. For example, Gascoigne, the most imaginative genius in England in the past, was 90. The representative figure of English football in the [-]s, the soul player of the national team, ruined his career due to alcohol and drugs, and later suffered from severe depression and violent tendencies, which further ruined his family.

The longer he sits in the position of head coach, the more Karl can understand Ferguson's thoughts.The Red Devils coach once caused a lot of criticism for his excessive control over the private lives of his players, but Carl now feels that if it weren't for Ferguson's strict supervision methods, perhaps Manchester United would not have cultivated so many excellent stars without interruption.

But even if Ferguson's skills are superb, there are still fish that slip through the net under his nose-Lee Sharp was discovered and trained by Ferguson together with Ryan Giggs. Ferguson was praised as a "natural winger", but now he has been ruined by alcohol and a profligate private life, and has been reduced to playing in the League One.

The orderly scene on the training field comforted Carl, but he also felt ashamed: when the players worked hard for the game, he left the team to participate in commercial activities... The more I think about it, the more guilty I feel .

Well, I still can't be so responsive to Mendes in the future.

……

Unconsciously, Munich 1860 ushered in the second confrontation with Lyon.

Different from the match against Real Madrid, before the Lions and Lyon played against each other, there was no off-court news, such as psychological warfare. Although the media expected Karl and Lyon coach Houllier to fight, the two coaches finally decided. Let them down.

The fundamental reason lies in Houllier. The Lyon coach was extremely low-key one week before the game. Not only did he not accept interviews after training, he even refused to answer any questions related to the Champions League after the Ligue [-] game.

Houllier is really trying to avoid starting a pre-match dispute with 1860 Munich. One reason is that he knows he is not good at verbal wars, and the other reason is that he knows that his opponent is very good at it.

The characteristic of German football has always been to rely on strength to fight recklessly, and the coaches produced in Germany are also the same. The iron and blood spirit of the supremacy of strength runs through every cell of their bodies. Most Germans do not like to play tricks outside the field.However, now there is such a weirdo as Karl Oston, he won't lose to any German team when he is playing hard, and when he is playing tricks, he can compete with a famous coach like Capello... Holly I thought I was highly respected, so I didn't want to provoke Auston on purpose.

Because there was no verbal war before the game, the French side responded calmly to this European war, but in the German press, many media hyped up the "Munich 1860 Revenge Battle".

In the eyes of the German media, although Lyon's lineup this season is the strongest in Ligue [-], the Lions lost a bit unjustly when they played against them for the first time. How long will it take to get back on the field?

At the end of training the day before the game, some reporters surrounded Karl at the gate of the base and asked: "Lyon players have arrived in Munich and are staying in a hotel in the city. You will play against each other tomorrow. Do you have anything to say to them?" of?"

After thinking for a while, Karl said in a flat tone, "The Allianz Stadium has just been watered this morning, and the turf will be moist enough for the game tomorrow. Lyon players are welcome to try it."

From this sentence, the German media felt the deep resentment of the head coach of Munich 1860: It turns out that this man has always held grudges in his heart!

……

As soon as the Lyon players walked out of the player tunnel, they were filled with heat from the oncoming sound waves.

They were stunned immediately: Why is the outdoor stadium warmer than the tunnel?We must know that the outdoor temperature in Munich is already close to zero, and the indoor heating has already been adequately supplied. It stands to reason that there should not be a situation where the outdoors are warmer than the indoors.

But it didn't take long for the Lyon players to discover the reason why they felt warm: in the surrounding stands, the fans of Munich 1860 wearing blue and white fans opened their mouths and greeted the guests from afar with German-style national curses. Warmest "Welcome".

So, the heat wave just now was caused by the carbon dioxide exhaled by these fans?

Some Lyon players couldn't help imagining the following picture: These brutal German fans were still munching on bread, sausages and beer one second, and sprayed their breath on all Lyon players without hesitation in the next second ...

This not-so-beautiful association made many Lyon players show "(╯﹏╰)" expressions in an instant.

In the stands closest to the Lyon warm-up area, thousands of 1860 Munich fans were still booing Lyon players enthusiastically. They vowed to let the French team experience what is called "the enthusiasm of German fans" from time to time Yes, there are fans shouting loudly in the stands: "Tremble, Lyon!"

Did the Lyon players tremble?

I don't know about this, but there must be some players with cleanliness among them who feel uncomfortable in such air quality.

……

Because it is a home game, the keynote of this game for 1860 Munich is offense.

As for Lyon, they have a strong midfield lineup this season, and it is impossible for them to stay in the backcourt because of the away game.

The start of the game was a wonderful confrontation.

"Munich 1860 got a chance first..."

"Beckham passed the ball from the right, Lars took the ball, and after a two-for-one cooperation with Ozil, the front of the penalty area crossed... Portillo pushed in front of the goal! Oh, what a pity, Lyon goalkeeper Coupe's Flying and pushing it away from the goal."

Bavarian radio commentator Gayner is now very familiar with Munich 1860, and he is also very familiar with explaining Lions games. He can even include a few private words when the situation on the field is not so tense: "1860 at home. The morale of the players is very high, and there have been very few mistakes since the start of the game. Just now when Lars tackled the football at the feet of Lyon player Toulalan, neither of them slipped. This fully demonstrates the fact that An The turf quality of the Allianz Stadium is much higher than that of the Gerland Stadium...Allianz is worthy of being one of the best quality and most modern stadiums in Europe, and all German fans should be proud of it.”

"Lyon launched a counterattack...Revieux made a long pass from the back, the ball flew straight into the center circle, Juninho came in from the back, and relied on his wealth of experience to swipe the ball away at the feet of Las... Thiago... ... Fred ... two quick short passes, and Lyon are closing in on the Lions penalty area!"

"Steal the ball! Steal the ball! Quickly steal the ball! Hummels and Janker surrounded Fred. Fred stabbed a pass with his right foot, and the football passed between the two of them!"

"It's Malouda! Lyon striker Malouda rushed in! He slowed down with the ball and seemed to be looking for a chance to shoot before the defenders surrounded him! Left or right? Up or down? In which direction of the goal did you shoot?"

"In the stands behind the Lions goal, many fans have stood up because of nervousness. They seem to be very afraid that the team will lose the ball... But Koch seems to be calmer than all of us, with a trace of hesitation on his face There was no expression on his face, and he jumped decisively towards the right of the goal..."

"Wonderful save! The football was held in Koch's arms without any struggle. It looked like Malouda had aimed at Koch's arms and kicked it just now... The Lyon striker's face appeared. Disappointed expression, but I want to say to him: It’s still early! When the forwards of other Bundesliga teams face Koch, they often taste the taste of despair. Now it’s time for players in other leagues to feel the dire straits It's..."

"But although we didn't concede the ball, the scene just now was really dangerous. Lyon, who has a strong midfield lineup, can also play a needle-like cooperation when launching an attack."

"Oston stood on the side of the court as usual, and he gestured toward the court - is he going to shrink the defense and play a conservative tactic? Want to temporarily avoid Lyon's fierce artillery fire?"

"No! With his gesture, the running of the Munich 1860 players on the field suddenly accelerated. Oston was ordering the team to continue to strengthen the attack! It seems that the Lions at home are different from usual. They abandoned all Cautious and especially territorial on the pitch."

"The Lions fans in the stadium cheered constantly, and a large part of them were directed at the coach's bench. It seems that they all support the decision just made by the team coach. Yes, the fans just love to watch offensive football .”

"Look at how much the German fans love Austen! They raised their arms and cheered him like a king. Austen is a German coach and coaches a German team, but recently in some In the national news, it is praised as a rose of England... Isn't it ridiculous?"

Gaynor, who vented his dissatisfaction with the English newspapers in words full of personal emotions, was distracted by a sudden exclamation in the stadium, and he refocused on the game: "Uh, it seems that just now There was a fierce scramble near the middle circle. Sorry, because of my personal neglect, everyone missed that must be a wonderful scene. Now, a Munich 1860 player is dribbling the ball at a very fast speed, and it seems that he is preparing to go towards Watching Lyon break through at halftime, he is..."

Gaynor frowned suddenly, because he couldn't recognize the player at a glance - after training for the past two seasons, Gaynor has actually developed a "special ability", that is, it was Munich on the field. When a 1860 player takes the ball, he doesn't need to look at the number on the opponent's jersey. With just a short glance, he can accurately name the player based on his body shape and hairstyle. This also allows him to explain the Lions' offense Sometimes, it is often possible to synchronize the words and the game situation, and occasionally make predictions.

However, Gaynor did not immediately recognize the 1860 player with the ball in his brief glance into the court. This can only be explained by one situation, that is, Gaynor is not very familiar with the dribbler.

In the 25 Munich first team with only 1860 players, who is Gaynor not familiar with?

The player who was sprinting across Lyon's half at the speed of the wind had the number "11" printed on the back of his jersey.

"It's Irving! It's Michael Irving with the ball!"
