long live football

The next day, the news that the main goalkeeper of Munich 1860, Lambert Koch, had a dinner with the popular TV presenter Lena Carver, was published in "Bild", "Munich Daily", "Welt" and "Welt". Süddeutsche Zeitung and other media gossip pages.

In the news, Lena Carver wore a bright red dress. Knowing that there were reporters squatting and still holding Koch's arm tightly when entering and leaving the restaurant, she seemed to be announcing to the public that Koch's real girlfriend had just been released.

One is the brightest young star in German football, and the other is the most talked-about football host in the World Cup. The love affair between Koch and Linna has attracted unprecedented attention and attracted the envy of countless men and women.

The woman is jealous that Linna is the youngest and most promising goalkeeper in Germany - in the current German national team, Kahn has withdrawn, Lehmann's competitive state has declined again this season, and other substitute goalkeepers are no younger than Koch. He is talented, older than Koch and similar in strength to him. If the national team coach Lufken made up his mind earlier, maybe the German team's No. 08 jersey in the 1 European Cup would have to be replaced.

Men, on the other hand, are jealous of Koch's love affairs.Linna is five feet six inches tall, with a full upper circumference of 109cm (it is said that she has undergone surgery for career development), long brown curly hair, and blue-brown eyes. I can't sit still as the host of a football talk show.

In any case, this love affair has made the German media happy to hear and see. The entrance of the training base of Munich 1860 is more crowded than usual. In the past, most of the players waiting there for the end of training were fans who wanted to sign autographs or meet their idols. Most are journalists.

When Karl walked into the locker room, there was a lot of chaos here. The young players surrounded Koch and laughed loudly. There were too many people talking, and it was hard to hear what they were talking about for a while.

Seeing the head coach enter the door, although the players didn't immediately fall silent, they immediately fell silent, but the narrow smile on their faces couldn't be concealed no matter what.

Karl has the habit of reading the newspaper while eating breakfast, but now he pretends nothing happened, talking to the players about today's training arrangements as usual.

It's just that when his eyes swept over Koch, he was still a little worried: Lena Carver looked somewhat similar to Cris's ex-girlfriend Gemma. Although Koch was very smart, he didn't have a lot of emotional experience. Can he bear this kind of woman?

After finishing the training arrangement with one mind and two minds, Karl pressed everything back to his heart: No matter how long the head coach's hands are, there is no reason to intervene in the players' love affairs.

When the players walked out of the locker room one by one, Koch deliberately fell last.

Carl looked at him.

Koch licked his lower lip uncomfortably, and lowered his eyes: "The TV station invited me to be a guest on the show, a total of three episodes." Going to the TV station to record a show will inevitably affect his daily training, and he is usually the one who pays the most attention to training. Yes, now I have to ask for leave just after falling in love, will the boss...

"It's "Lina Watching Football"?" Carl thought of this first.Now many media have begun to refer to Koch and Linna as "golden boys and girls". It would be strange if the TV station did not take the opportunity to hype.

Koch nodded, keeping his head down but not raising it.

Carl saw his uneasiness: "Go ahead, doing more publicity is also a good thing for you." After a pause, he added: "Almost everyone on the team who is about your age is happy , you were a little lively when you first joined the team, but now you are becoming more and more calm, I have never been worried about you."

Koch finally couldn't help raising his head, and saw the calm expression on the boss's face as usual, and the eyes, still wise and firm, making people feel... at ease.

Carl patted him on the shoulder, turned and walked out of the locker room.

Koch felt a little lost, but he was a little happy when he thought of Linna's sweet look when she acted like a baby.

……

Throughout February, 2 Munich played a total of 1860 games - 8 league games, 5 Europa League games, 2 German Cup, which is almost a double match every week.Although the high-intensity training during the winter break allowed many players to maintain or even improve their physical fitness, most of them still felt tired after playing so many games.

There will be fewer games in March than in February, but the competition will become more intense as the league progresses towards the end, and the opponents the Lions will encounter in the UEFA Cup will only become more and more fierce. In order to allow the players to breathe a sigh of relief After a break, Karl rotated in the No.3 Bundesliga match against Stuttgart in the fourth round, and several main players were placed on the bench by him.

Munich 1860's away game against Stuttgart was very slow and dull, and ended with a score of 0:0.

Stuttgart's strength this season is very strong, and it has not fallen from the top five positions in the standings since the beginning of the league, so this draw did not surprise Karl.

Dzeko, Ozil and others sat on the bench for 90 minutes.

Many fans hope that their favorite players can play the entire season, as if only in this way is the player valued by the head coach, but the attendance rate is not an absolute criterion for judging the main player status. Some players have enough attendance, but one When it comes to important events, they will disappear from the starting list. Some players may not play every game of the season. They will definitely start in important events. The latter is the real main force of the team.

No coach will leak his lineup to the outside world, and fans tend to think wildly when they find out that the team lineup has changed during the game, and at the same time they don't know what the coach is thinking, for example: "Who didn't play? , is there something wrong with him?" "Is the team changing tactics?" "Is the head coach snubbing so-and-so?" The speculations like this are endless, and they will continue until the player returns to the court and performs. will calm down.

Discussions not only exist among fans, but also among players. "Guess what the head coach will do in the next game" is one of the most common pleasures in football. As long as there are no serious people to provoke, this kind of thing will not become news .

But the most indispensable thing in this world is a caring person.

Hitzfeld is very concerned about their city rivals: "1860 Munich's big rotation against Stuttgart was really unexpected. Yes, I watched the game at home. Austen was like a newspaper. As mentioned, he is very good at buying players. Misimovic he bought in the winter is also an excellent young man. Bosnia and Herzegovina players are always so good and cheap, but—”

"Oston is still too young after all, he doesn't know how to use players better." A tone of sincere consideration for others: "Misimovic has a high ball quotient, his running and passing His footwork is simply outstanding. If he is paired with a good partner, I think he will become the future assist leader in the Bundesliga... No, no, no, a good striker does not mean a good partner. Owen is very capable, but obviously Dzeko is even better. It is suitable to be partnered with Misimovic on the front line, they are even teammates of the national team, there must be a tacit understanding in cooperation...but." Some regrettable tone: "Auston actually put Dzeko on the bench Look, he doesn't seem to care much about the high center on the team."

Some words call the end.

Talking too much will make people feel that there is a conspiracy, but talking less will show a feeling of being outspoken.

The reporter who interviewed Heathfield went back and rushed out a manuscript overnight: "Bayern coach fights against injustice: Dzeko should be reused more in the Lions!" "Why does the Bayern coach pay so much attention to 1860 Munich recently?Many fans thought hard: Hey, could it be that they want to poach someone?

Hitzfeld fancy his players?Karl laughed. If the news had come out during the transfer period, he might have been worried for a while, but the transfer window has already been closed... It's better to say that the other party is provoking Lions players fight among themselves.

……

What kind of news media is your favourite?scandal!

What kind of newspaper can make sales to a higher level?Still a scandal!

In this world, no matter in which circle, scandals get the most attention.

In addition to the heavyweight transactions during the transfer period that can attract a lot of readers' attention, the news that reporters like to write most on weekdays is the locker room fights other than stars taking drugs, recruiting prostitutes, cheating, and racial discrimination.

The more news of discord in a team with more stars and high popularity, the more fans will pay attention to the follow-up, and the newspaper will become very easy to sell. Write for months on end!

Hitzfeld’s words lightened the inspiration in the hearts of many reporters: For a long time, the dressing room of Munich 1860 has been peaceful and quiet, and there is often no scandal for several months. After a long time, everyone mistakenly thinks that there is a Holy place of peace.But in fact, how can a team with dozens of stars be monolithic?Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!There must be power divisions in the Lions team, and there must be players wrestling!The reason why there was no sign of it before was because they did a good job of keeping secrets, or everyone didn't find a good target at all!

Heathfield is right!Who are the two most useful strikers in Munich 1860?One is Portillo, who regards Auston as a mentor and was rescued by the latter himself, and the other is Owen, who is a private friend with Auston and is activated by the other party...not his own, nor does he seem to have a personal relationship Dzeko, although talented, is always put on the bench by Auston.

Quite a number of journalists can make up their minds, and the more they think about it, the more they tear up: Dzeko, a child who is loved by no one, must have suffered a lot of grievances in private. Should he say that he has no resentment in his heart?Believe it or not, we don't believe it anyway!And we have to use the pen to make the whole world agree with our conclusion!

Munich 1860 was just like this. They had no problems at all, and they didn’t let out any rumors, but they just got caught up in a palace fight by the whole world. Shao Jiayi, who became popular with Dzeko, What do the media think: Even Dzeko has become a pitiful boy in the Lions team. Asian players like Shao Jiayi, who are usually unknown, are probably more transparent and oppressed in the locker room. ?

The good-natured person immediately approached Karl to discuss the news.

Karl has already determined that Hitzfeld is going to keep making trouble for himself in the public opinion, and perhaps what awaits him next will be a war of words that lasts for several months.He first explained to the reporter the reason why Dzeko was placed on the bench in the last game, and then said lightly: "I didn't expect that Mr. Heathfield is so energetic when he is nearly [-] years old, and he pays so much attention to the teams in the same city." Then he must worry more about his own team, and Bayern Munich's results will be improved soon."

As soon as this passage spread, everyone knew it was an insinuation: Bayern is still under the pressure of the Lions in the standings!

Karl originally meant the same thing: the Bayern coach's hands are too long. Instead of sticking his nose into other people's homes and sniffing around all day long, it is better to sweep the snow in front of his own house.

Apart from this passage, Carl didn't say much else.

He doesn't speak, someone wants to speak.

Dzeko played the game quietly and lived, and suddenly one day he became a figure in the whirlpool of public opinion. The outside world's speculation about him is simply ridiculous. Honest people are a little annoyed after watching too much: you have slandered me and my teammates so much Any more from Mr. Alston?It's just too bullying!

Dzeko, who has always disliked being interviewed by reporters, took the initiative to approach the media this time: "Who said I was left out by the boss when I sat on the bench in the last round? It was because I just finished the UEFA Cup and was too tired, so I asked for a good rest." Preparing for the next round of games! We don’t have any discrimination or oppression in our team! As early as when I first joined the team, the boss said that the last game is completely up to us to compete for posts, whoever is stronger in the match If you perform well, whoever has the chance to start will have the chance to start, and whoever said that we form a clique must be because we have watched too many Hollywood movies... In short, you are not allowed to wrong the boss, or I will be anxious to you!"

If the previous words make people suspect that Dzeko was instructed by someone to come out to clarify to the media on purpose, the last sentence completely makes people believe that the Bosnian center is indeed loyal to Karl.

Other players in the Munich 1860 team also came forward to make sarcastic remarks.

Beckham: "I don't know if I am a bully or a bullied character in the eyes of the media? If you have written a script, please let me know. I have always been interested in acting in movies."

Misimovic: "The boss doesn't like Edin? Where did this come from? Has no one told you that the reason why I can join 1860 Munich is because Edin recommended me to the boss!"

The media tried to expose the shady scene in the Lions locker room, but they were slapped in the face. The jubilant football commentators who jumped in the columns these days were a little embarrassing. The gossip pages were clean for several days, and there was no negative news about 1860 Munich. .

Heathfield was a little disappointed. He thought his speculation was correct. Dzeko was not a direct descendant of Orston, and he must have never received much love from the head coach in the team. Such a person should provoke him a little bit. Will give birth to a double heart... But how did he jump out and speak for Auston so quickly?It's really ignorant.

However, Hitzfeld is a conspiracy theorist. He firmly believes that all team locker rooms are tricky.

So he went on to express his thoughts: "I understand Dzeko speaking for his team. After all, he still has a few years of contract with Munich 1860. I really admire Auston's way of managing the team. I don't know how he usually What has been instilled in the players, his players have shown an extraordinary unity on the outside."

In the new episode of "Lena Watches Football" on Saturday night, the beautiful female anchor Lena Carver specifically raised the issue of the Munich 1860 dressing room in order to increase the ratings of the show: "Karl Alston is really Will he brainwash the players? Or does he have a lot of high-pressure policies, even controlling what the players say in interviews?"

The face of show guest Lambert Koch immediately fell.

……

Hitzfeld seems to be on the bar with Munich 1860.

People who don't know thought he changed his job again, and the new job was called "Concentrate on Advocating the Lions for 30 Years".

But everything has two sides. 1860 Munich did have some troubles because of his constant eye drops, but at the same time, Hitzfeld, as the head coach of Bayern Munich, has been talking bad things about his rivals in the same city. He drew some criticism.

The players of Bayern Munich have been a little depressed recently: Although I know that the head coach will not praise the players of Munich 1860 for no reason, but the boss, can you stop praising so frequently?The best team in the Bundesliga is clearly Bayern Munich!The best players are obviously us southern stars!Hearing his coach say good things about the rival team all day, anyone who hears too much will get bored!trouble!Get angry!

The players exchanged these words many times in private, and did not dare to respond directly to the head coach: one is that Heathfield is their immediate boss, and the players dare not question the behavior of opposing the head coach in person; He is also a well-known "iron-blooded coach". He manages the locker room very strictly and does not communicate with players in a soft-spoken manner.

There is no way, when the grievances accumulate to a certain level, the players can only figure out their own way, and then secretly let these grievances be "listened to heaven".

On Sunday morning, club chairman Franz Beckenbauer made a "caring" call to Heathfeld: "I know you have been saying good things about Munich 1860 recently to motivate the players and make them perform better in the derby. But there is a limit to everything, and if the aggressive method is used too far, it will directly damage the morale of the team."

Hitzfeld smiled: "Arousing dissatisfaction in the hearts of the players and making them more indomitable in the match against Munich 1860 is also one of my purposes, but if I spend so much saliva just wanting this benefit, that's okay. It's just not worth it."

Beckenbauer immediately heard the voice: "I know you still want to provoke them to fight among themselves, but didn't you succeed?"

"That's also one of the goals. Success is the icing on the cake, and failure can't hinder the overall situation." Heathfield was a little proud: "I just need to care more about this brother team and let their players understand how good they are. Let the whole world know how good they are, that's fine. Isn't Auston very proud that his players are always more powerful than famous? I just want to help him and make his players famous and powerful! "

How to say that Bayern Munich is also a giant in football, and Hitzfeld is also considered a world-renowned coach. Whether it is the coaches, players and fans of other teams, or the chairman, manager and scouts, he will take it seriously.Beckenbauer has been in the football world for decades, and he has been in a high position and has cultivated into a human being long ago. What does he not understand when he talks about this?

After laughing heartily a few times, Beckenbauer sighed, "Otmar, you really are getting more and more cunning."

There are more stars in a small team, which will inevitably lead to the coveting of other teams. In football, there are many giants who hold a lot of money and want to buy future stars. Bayern’s management understands the principle of sustainable development. But what about the directors of Munich 1860?If one can't hold it, Germany's most talented team in recent seasons will become a supermarket that has opened.

In addition, when young players become more and more famous and become stars, they will inevitably have dreams of being rich in their hearts. They will feel that a small team cannot hold their own Buddha, and those who do not have deep feelings for the team will immediately find themselves a home. Those who have a deep affection for the team will not struggle with money. They will feel that the annual salary of hundreds of thousands of euros is no longer worthy of their fame and status, and they will definitely clamor for a contract renewal and a salary increase.

It's an extremely tricky combo.

He sighed a few times for the head coach of Munich 1860, and Beckenbauer thought with some anticipation: Oston has always been a persnickety person, I wonder if he can see what Hitzfeld is up to this time?How will he respond?

If Alston could solve these troubles cleanly, Beckenbauer would feel very, very...uncomfortable.

Why are all the good things in other people's bowls?
