long live football

The same-city derby not only raised the excitement of the fans to the highest level, but also made the players of the two teams have to work hard and dare not work hard in the game.

Throughout the first half, the players of Bayern and the Lions played very hard and created many wonderful coordinated attacks.

But all of them only bloom but not bear fruit.

Because the performance of Kahn and Koch is too bad.

Even the commentator, nearly half of the 45-minute game was commenting on the state of the two goalkeepers.

By the end of the stoppage time in the first half, the other players loosened their nerves and began to walk off the field. Some players who were not very physically strong even showed signs of exhaustion, but the goalkeepers of Bayern and the Lions were still there. He was in high spirits, and felt that a dozen or twenty wonderful saves would not be a problem.

Many people think: "The goals of the two teams are so difficult to break, this game will end in a draw."

Klinsmann thinks so too.

This is the first Munich derby he has encountered since he took office. Losing is too embarrassing and winning is too difficult. If it is a draw, it is a result acceptable to him, the club and the fans.

Therefore, Bayern's starting list for the second half has not changed.

1860 Munich made a substitution.

Misimovic replaced Khedira.

Although Khedira has outstanding talent, Misimovic, the captain of the Bosnian national team, obviously has more experience. precious things.

Only from this one substitution, Klinsmann deduced: Oston is not a person who is willing to be mediocre, he does not want to fight.

In contrast, I only had the heart to seek peace after halftime, isn't it too unambitious?

Before Klinsmann finished thinking about whether his behavior was appropriate or inappropriate, something happened on the field.

In another attack in Munich 1860, Dzeko took a long shot 25 meters away and was saved by Kahn. The football happened to fall at the feet of Bayern defender Lyle. When the football was exerting its strength, there was a small mistake.

Lyle originally wanted to pass the ball into the midfield and give it to Schweinsteiger, but perhaps it was because he was too eager to pass the ball and the foot was not strong enough, the football landed before it flew to Schweinsteiger. On the ground, it was actually closer to Misimovic.

Schweinsteiger stayed with Misimovic for a while.

The former did not expect such a short-distance pass to be deviated, while the latter was shocked by a big pie falling from the sky.

Misimovic reacted faster than Schweinsteiger, and when Schweinsteiger was about to move, he had already moved.

The captain of Bosnia and Herzegovina took the lead and stabbed the ball to his teammate Beckham a few meters away.

And Beckham, taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, raised his right foot and slammed the ball towards the goal!

The Lions players who hadn't pulled out Bayern's half-court defense just before attacking, as well as Bayern's central defenders rushed towards the penalty area.

A few people looked at the football flying high above the field and hesitated: Is this a pass or a shot?

"The football flew into the penalty area and there is still no sign of whereabouts. This is a shot!" The commentator exclaimed.

"How far is the place where Beckham just shot? 40 meters, it must be more than 40 meters!"

The Allianz Arena was full of exclamations, and the fans did not expect that just a few tens of seconds later, 1860 Munich could pose a threat to Bayern's goal again.

Portillo and Dzeko also seized the opportunity to seize favorable terrain in the penalty area. As long as the football fell to their feet, with such a short shooting distance and such a good angle, Bayern's goal was at stake.

Swinging between the two uprights of the goal for less than a second, Kahn chose the left side of the goal closest to Portillo and the others.

Between receiving a pass in the penalty area and directly raising his foot to shoot, and a long-distance curve ball 40 meters away, Kahn believes that the former is more threatening.

Bayern's central defenders just made up for the penalty area, but they saw that the football did not stop, and they were not blocked by their jumping bodies, but continued to fly toward the goal.

Kahn has blocked the goal left.

The football drew a curved arc and got into the net from the right.

"1:0! 10 minutes after the start of the second half, 1860 Munich finally broke the deadlock on the field!"

"A super long-distance shot from 40 meters! Beckham's ability to break the goal is still so good. This shot was so wrong, but it was completed perfectly!"

After holding on for half the game, it was 1860 Munich who scored the first goal. The Bayern fans were very sad.

But Kahn was more sad than them. He sighed at his own side, looked at the opponent's goal and thought: Retirement is imminent, God is not willing to let him win even a bet?

……

After Beckham scored, the already noisy Allianz Arena suddenly became boiling like boiling water.

All 1860 Munich fans are celebrating this goal.

The head of the camera was raised a few centimeters silently, and the lens was aimed at Carl's face.

Carl, however, seemed to have a tacit understanding with the photographer. When the camera was moving, he also turned his body slightly and threw it a head.

Want to take a picture of his cracked smile?

uh-huh.

Lions fans chanted Beckham's name.

Accompanied by these celebratory cheers, the bench of Munich 1860 was also full of joy.

Hasler and Garrard danced like crazy in front of the coach's bench. They not only hugged all the substitute players sitting near them, but also clapped shoulder to shoulder and smirked: "Oh yeah!"

It was in stark contrast to the eerie silence at Bayern.

Although the two rows of seats were full, the entire atmosphere on the Bayern coach's bench was lifeless.

Klinsmann's expression was not so much smelly as it was a little anxious and confused.

The problem of Bayern's offensive power has not been resolved, and a big hole has appeared in the originally solid defense line.

No matter how brave Kahn is, no matter how he is called a "keeper", in fact he is still a person.

With the help of his teammates, he can create a miracle of a zero-block opponent, but if his teammates can't help in defense or even hold back, he can only save a goal after 50 minutes of the game. Very brave performance.

Although it has been a few months of hard work and reform, Bayern still has a lot of problems...

Klinsmann thought a little bit hard.

Looking back at the faces on the bench, Klinsmann could not help but cast a glance at 1860 Munich while considering which player to replace.

Although it is now a hostile relationship, Klinsmann has to sigh: Oston's vision for selecting players is really vicious.

Even these players on the bench are highly qualified and coveted, not to mention the world-class or quasi-first-class stars in the starting lineup.

However, these players were recruited by Orston from the transfer market at extremely low prices!

How could he be so good at buying people?

Occasionally, other coaches can find a cheap and high-quality young player in the transfer market. It is like winning a lottery after a short time. However, Oston buys these players as if they are wholesale. Heap rubbing back.

It's true that people are more annoying than people.

Klinsmann hopes that in the transfer market this summer, he can also have the same as Oston, no, some half of his good luck will do.

After the score was 1:0, Bayern Munich also launched two counterattacks in succession, but they failed to score.

Klinsmann made up his mind to make a substitution.

But who to change, he still hesitates, because he attaches too much importance to this game, so he really wants to have an immediate effect as soon as the change is made, because he has a lot of hope, so he hesitates at the critical moment.

In front of the coach's bench, several assistants gave him advice one after another.

Klinsmann listened to too many suggestions, not only did not feel suddenly enlightened, but even more headaches.

……

In the end, Klinsmann chose to supplement the defense.

He replaced Lyle, who played like a headless chicken in the first half, with guard Sagnol.

If it weren't for Lyle's pass error, maybe Bayern and 1860 are still in a 0:0 stalemate, and they won't fall behind, and Klinsmann won't rack his brains against the team like he is now The sewing was done.But it is useless to say anything now, the truth is to cheer up the team quickly.

Five minutes later, seeing that Sagnol was well integrated into the game and strengthened the team's defense a little, Klinsmann used up another substitution.

Bayern's situation gradually opened up, and they began to actively and fiercely fight against the Lions.

The fight between the two teams in the midfield brought the game back into a stalemate.

In the 65th minute, Portillo, who had been silent for most of the game, finally broke out. After receiving a pass from Las in the middle circle, he broke through from the right to the Bayern penalty area. With a two-for-one cooperation, the Spanish striker turned around and volleyed the goal after reaching the penalty area, blasting the football into the goal through the gap between Kahn's fingers.

"2:0! This is the real offensive power of the Munich 1860 striker!"

"The balance of victory has been completely tilted."

This goal completely shattered the fantasies of Bayern fans about this game.

Those slogans in the stands, "Bayern must win! 1860 bow down!" and other slogans have been put away in despair.

Munich 1860 became more and more courageous in the Vietnam War, but they failed to continue to score goals.

Because the two conceded goals had made Kahn feel ashamed, for the rest of the game, he had to grit his teeth and hold on to the end.

But two goals are enough for the Lions.

They gradually slowed down the rhythm, circled the ball in the midfield, and slowly increased the possession rate.

Although Bayern's fighting spirit has not diminished, there is no hope of a comeback.

Because Klinsmann finally realized clearly through this actual battle that whether it is because of insufficient lineup or insufficient team integration, the current Bayern Munich, from the frontcourt to the backcourt, the performance of players in various positions is actually comparable to that of Munich 1860. There is a certain distance.

After using up the last substitution quota, seeing that the situation on the court could not be changed, and no player had a flash of inspiration to save the team from danger, Klinsmann sighed and admitted.

The head coach has stopped doing anything off the court, and the players on the court have gradually lost their aggressiveness.

The score was finally fixed at 2:0.

……

Koch put aside his teammates who were celebrating, and walked to the deserted Bayern half to exchange jerseys with Kahn.

On his face, there is absolutely no feeling of bragging after winning the game, but there is only stability and calmness on his face.

If Kahn was a little envious of Koch's rise in the past, envious of Koch's youth and talent, now he has some real admiration.

Emotions and anger are not visible. Even Kahn himself could not be unhappy after winning when he was 20 years old, but the young man in front of him did it.

It really is a new generation replacing the old one.

Thinking of this, the depression on Kahn's face after the loss almost disappeared. Not only did he change jerseys with Koch, but he also took the initiative to exchange a hug with the other party.

Koch felt strange: "When I walked over just now, you still looked gloomy. Why did you change your face in just one minute?"

Kahn showed a rare smile: "One reason is that he is about to retire, and the other reason is that he suddenly thought that there are many people in Germany who are more unlucky than me." Because of his appearance, his smile is actually uglier than crying.

Koch couldn't understand what the other party was sighing with emotion. He heard calls from other teammates behind him. He nodded to Kahn for the last time, turned and walked away.

Kahn put Koch's jersey on his shoulders, turned and walked towards the player tunnel.

As he walked, he thought: Although it is a pity that he could not retire together with the new football record he created in the last year, but thinking about it carefully, he has earned all the money he should have earned in his life, and all the honors he has won , The national team and the club's double captain, participated in the European Cup and the World Cup as the No. 1 national team, won the best player, and even won a Golden Globe!What's not to like?He should be content.

Although Lehmann replaced the main position in the 06 World Cup, the decision was made by Kahn himself, no matter whether he quit the national team or hung up his boots in the club. No one forced him. It's a complete retreat.

Compared with Kahn himself, the German goalkeepers 20 years later are really miserable-their future and future are destined to be crushed by a man named Lambert Koch, and it will be difficult to turn over.

……

"I thought there would be suspense, but the result was a game that was expected." When the game ended, the commentator shook his head and sighed into the microphone.

"Bayern Munich made the same mistake as the German national team in this game."

"While the team's skills have been greatly improved, the ball possession rate is getting higher and higher, and the scenes are getting better and better. At the same time, Bayern and the national team have lost the iron-blooded style of the past, and the style of play has become more and more serious. Soft—high-altitude bombing, long-range shots, free kicks, and reversals at the last minute, these were once synonymous with German football, but with the development of technical football, these football traditions seem to be becoming more and more The harder it is to see the team stick in the game."

The commentator was a little dissatisfied: "The original intention of the Bayern executives to resign from Heathfeld and change Klinsmann's coaching was to reshape Bayern Munich's tactical system, but judging from this game, the new tactical system has not yet been built. The old traditions have been thrown away-Bayern under the Greek coach can often turn the defeat into victory at the last minute, but Klinsmann's team gave up the game from the moment they fell behind.

"For a team, the most important thing is not any fancy tactics, but spirit."

"Klinsmann should get back the dominance of Bayern as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if they win against the other 1860 teams, they will have to shrink back when they meet Munich [-]."

……

After the Munich derby, the lions breathed a sigh of relief.

After completing the most important battle in the second half of the Bundesliga season, they can finally concentrate on other games.

Such as the German Cup, as well as the Champions League.

In late March, 3 Munich ushered in the German Cup semi-final against Dortmund.

The Lions easily defeated their opponents 3:0.

Dortmund is also one of the traditional strong teams in the Bundesliga. In the past 20 years, their duel with Bayern Munich has been regarded as the German national derby by default.

However, Dortmund's current strength is not enough. This team nicknamed "Bumblebee" has fallen into a financial quagmire that almost went bankrupt in recent years.

Speaking of the reasons for Dortmund's sinking, in fact, like the original Premier League Leeds United, it was because of the excessive pursuit and desire for European competition honors, and the reckless investment in the team, a large amount of transfer fees and star salaries. The reason for the club's crazy investment is to use gold dollars to pile up a European championship, and then use the profits obtained from the Champions League to fill the financial deficit.

But they overestimated their own strength. Their desperate and crazy gambling did not bring Dortmund the Champions League. On the contrary, they won nothing in the Champions League. The unsatisfactory business became the final fuse, and Dortmund's financial problems were erupted like a volcanic eruption. The flames that burst out almost burned this century-old club, if it weren't for the fans and some sympathetic banks. The company extended a helping hand at a critical time, and the "Bumblebee" has gone bankrupt due to financial crisis.

Dortmund is currently undergoing a difficult asset restructuring period. Apart from paying bank interest, all support from the Hornets is based on the minimum operating standards. Financial difficulties make them stretched in the transfer market. Naturally, they cannot buy good players without money. , The strength of the team will not rise temporarily.

Victory over Dortmund, Munich 1860 didn't take much effort, and at the same time the results of another German Cup semi-final came out. Wolfsburg eliminated Hamburg and will compete with the Lions for the German Cup champion.

However, the final of the German Cup will be held at the end of April, and there is still some time before now.

March passed in the blink of an eye, and at the beginning of April, the quarter-finals of the Champions League between 3 Munich and Arsenal will also begin.

The first round was played against Arsenal at home.

Because they both pay attention to the cultivation of young players and have achieved outstanding results, Carl has been evaluated by several media as being very similar to Wenger. Now the two are really going to face each other head-on. The reporters dug it out and called the match between Arsenal and Munich 1860 "the young version of Wenger and Wenger's big showdown."
