2005年的整个4月上旬是属于欧洲冠军联赛的日子,从4月5号到13号,将有8场欧冠四分之一决赛举行。

On the 12th, Karl appeared in the stands of the Munich Olympic Stadium.

Because of the UEFA Champions League match between Bayern and Chelsea, Mourinho has become the most frequently mentioned foreign coach in the German media these days, and since he has been linked with the most popular coach of the Bundesliga Bundesliga, Karl Oston, for Newspaper sales, the media will naturally exaggerate the gimmick between the two to the maximum.

"Munich 1860's coach Karl Austen appeared in the away stands of the stadium! He was surrounded by Chelsea fans in blue jerseys. Auston showed everyone with practical actions in today's game Which side is he on in the game?"

"But I don't know what the purpose of Oston's coming to the Olympic Stadium today is to repay Mourinho's support for Munich 1860 a few days ago? To observe the strength of Bayern Munich? After all, everyone knows that Munich 1860 next season will be [-] In all likelihood, there will be a promotion, and the Munich derby will be repeated. Or, is he simply here to watch a high-level Champions League match?"

The protagonists of today's game are Bayern and Chelsea, but the commentator kept talking about Karl Oston before the game, and it took four to five minutes: "In any case, I personally feel that Oston It is very interesting, and this kind of fun is not only reflected on the field-his performance in the last round of the Bundesliga 5 against Cologne in the Bundesliga was really wonderful! And off the field, as we all know, Mourinho is not in the coaching circle. A few friends, Ferguson didn't say a few good things about his colleagues, but when these two famous coaches mentioned Auston, they all praised him..."

"Ah, by the way, according to the news from the British "Sun", after the show at the Allianz Arena this summer, 1860 Munich will play a friendly match with Manchester United. Buy tickets on the given website.”

When he's on the court, Karl thinks a lot—about players, tactics, opponents, and more. His mind is always spinning fast and non-stop.

But watching a normal game in the stands is a novel experience for him, because here, he hardly needs to use his brain, he only needs to use his eyes to see and ears to listen.

However, as a matter of habit, Karl couldn't help but began to figure out the formations of Bayern and Chelsea, observing their starting players, and predicting who would win the game.

This made him incompatible with the excited and excited atmosphere of the fans around him. In addition, even when he was in the stands, he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. From a distance, there was a touch of gray sandwiched in blue, not to mention how conspicuous it was.

When he caught a camera closest to the stand pointing the lens at him for the Nth time, Carl couldn't help but frowned. He stared at the camera tightly until the photographer who was watching couldn't take it anymore, so he moved the bracket and turned the lens on himself. moved away.

But he didn't know that the cameraman just gave him close-ups all the time, and the lens kept zooming in and zooming in... For a long time, countless Bundesliga fans watching the live broadcast of the game were staring at the TV obsessively Those eyes in the plane.

What kind of eyes are those.

Just like the sky before a snowstorm in winter, sometimes it is blue, intertwined with a little silver halo, sometimes it is gray, and the pupils are full of inorganic light.

The air can also be suffocating when it's staring at you.

And that face will remind people of Tolkien's stories about dragons and elves.

……

Throughout the game, Bayern and Munich failed to completely suppress each other.

Bayern Munich's offense is very fierce, and the cooperation between their players is excellent, but Chelsea's defensive counterattack tactics are even better. Every time Bayern's offensive wave is followed by a counterattack wave from the Blues, it is extremely efficient. kind of counterattack.

Bayern coach Felix Magath's on-the-spot command was not as good as that of Mourinho, who made two extremely efficient substitutions in this game - once with Deloitte. Barbados replaced Robben and Bridge once with Carvalho. The former scored Chelsea's second goal of the game after five minutes on the pitch, while the latter blocked Bayern Munich. Attack after attack, Chelsea took care of the penalty area. In the last 5 minutes, the Blues did not concede a single goal.

As for Magath, he didn't respond when Mourinho made a substitution. He waited for the opponent's substitute to come on the field and achieve brilliant results, and then hurriedly made adjustments to Bayern, but at that time he had already lost Taking the lead, even half of the effect of repairing a dead sheep has not been achieved.

But today is Bayern Munich's stadium after all, and Bundesliga fans are notoriously fanatical throughout Europe-nearly 90 home team fans were either shouting or singing for more than [-] minutes. When Chelsea got the ball, they booed crazily. To Carl, that sound could shock a heart patient. The Chelsea players on the field suddenly heard the loud noise and reacted a little slower with the ball, and then were cut off Ball's reaction is also understandable.

With the support of the fans, Bayern finally won the game 3:2.

Champions League knockout rules, after two home and away games, the team with the most total goals advances.Now, Chelsea's total number of goals is 6, Bayern's is 5, Chelsea eliminated Bayern Munich and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Mourinho lost one game but won the whole campaign.

This can't help but remind Karl that when Mourinho led Porto to eliminate Manchester United last year, he played exactly the same trick.

Counting this time, he has personally experienced Mourinho's Champions League road for two years. Carl thought, Mourinho's tricks are exactly the same in the two years, will he remain the same in the future?When I can lead the team back to the Bundesliga and return to the European battlefield, is it possible to meet Chelsea?

And if you encounter Mourinho, can you become an opponent who can defeat him?

A completely passionate impulse surged in Karl's chest.

As soon as the referee blew the final whistle, Mourinho slid on his knees on the turf of Munich's Olympic Stadium.

He raised his fists to the sky, kneeling on the lawn, surrounded by Blues players who surrounded him, pulled him up, and then lifted him into the sky together.

Thanks to the ubiquitous English media promotion, the whole of Europe knows that the celebration of this personality coach after the victory is very wild. However, before the Bayern players have completely left the field, the coaches and players of the Blues are on the field Unscrupulous celebrations began on the Internet, which was simply an act of stabbing Bayern's heart with a needle.

So the Olympiastadion in Munich erupted in the most intense boos of the day, sent to the entire Chelsea team by angry Bayern fans.

The Blues players on the field were shivered by the loud noise, but among them, Mourinho still looked fearless.

Karl captured all this in his eyes and couldn't help marveling again: In the first season of coaching Chelsea, Mourinho made the Blues far ahead in the standings, more than ten points more than the No.2 Arsenal , far away from the other 19 Premier League teams, and almost locked the league championship.Now, he has brought Chelsea to the semi-finals of the Champions League. This blue team has the best Champions League result in history... Madmen do have crazy capital.

He squeezed away the bustling exiting fans, turned into a fork in the road, and walked towards the central aisle.

There are security guards at the entrance of the channel to prevent fans from sneaking into the stadium when people are not prepared, but as the Munich 1860 coach who shares the stadium with Bayern Munich, Karl's face is familiar to all the staff. He took the initiative to help open the small door.

In the mixed area, there was another kind of excitement. Hundreds of reporters formed into two groups and kept throwing various questions to the coaches of the two teams.

Mourinho has the most reporters around him, while Bayern coach Magath has fewer people around him.

Although Karl has never communicated with Magath face-to-face, he also knows a little about each other through newspapers and games. In view of their peer status and the possibility of future confrontation, he politely looked at him when Magath looked at him. He nodded slightly towards the other party.

Unexpectedly, Magath immediately pushed aside the crowd and walked over, and extended his right hand to him: "Felix Magath, I finally saw you today!"

Carl shook it up: "Carl Oston, the emotion you just expressed is exactly what I want to say."

Magath smiled: "Then I think we should have a common language."

Carl also smiled and said: "Today's game is very regrettable, but Bayern has a very strong strength, and they can come back in the European arena next year."

"Compared to the Champions League, I am more looking forward to playing against you next season." Magath's expression did not seem to be polite at all. On the contrary, he seemed sincere: "Munich 1860 is now completely different from before. Yes, I'm very interested in you now, to be honest, I can't wait."

Karl was a little flattered, but his expression didn't change much. On the contrary, he joked to himself: "In my dreams, I want to stand with Bayern in the Allianz Arena."

Magath laughed.

At this time, the group of reporters on Mourinho's side had gradually dispersed, and some media that hadn't interviewed Magath at the beginning came and surrounded the Bayern coach. Karl walked towards Mourinho and congratulated him. .

Mourinho, taking advantage of Karl's unpreparedness, suddenly attacked and hugged him intimately, and patted him on the shoulder with a big smile.

Judging from the opponent's actions, Karl judged that Mourinho was probably overwhelmed with excitement.

He glanced around Mourinho: "Hey, your body is full of grass clippings and a little dirt." Carl reminded.

"I guess it was done on the lawn just now..." Mourinho muttered, took out his phone from his pocket and started to press keys, and said to Carl casually, "Help me clean it up."

Carl thought he heard it wrong: "What did you say?"

"Help me clean up the grass clippings."

Karl turned his head and looked around - the mixed area was crowded with people, even not far from him and Mourinho, there were a few holding cameras, seemingly interviewing Bayern coach Magath, but they would look back from time to time Look at them, it seems that the journalists who will come back every chance they have are eyeing.

"Why should I do this for you?" Carl raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Come on, you like me so much, why don't you even want to do me a favor?" After a pause, Mourinho, who knew the ambiguity as soon as the words came out, quickly explained: "The report you were interviewed by the Chinese media , I read it when it was reprinted back to England, you are my friend, and you admire me so much, why can't you do me a little favor?"

Mourinho's words were very frank, as if his request was very reasonable.

"Do your own thing." Carl said displeased, "It's not like you don't have hands."

Mourinho raised his mobile phone: "I'm busy."

"You have two hands."

"Both hands are busy." For a BlackBerry with a full keyboard, it's easy to use all ten fingers.

"...Are you still playing with your phone at this time?"

"It's not for fun." Mourinho looked up at Carl, showing off his dimples with a smile: "I'm reporting the promotion news to my boss, although he must have known it by now, but I still have to say something, otherwise Transfer funding this summer will be difficult."

Carl was speechless.

He took two steps to the side, scanned Mourinho's whole body with his eyes, then lifted up the sleeve of his suit, stepped forward to cover the opponent within his reach, and pointed his palm at those Where the grass clippings were stained, they slapped up and down indiscriminately.

"Oh, take it easy!" Mourinho twisted his waist and hopped his feet, not forgetting to hold on to the keyboard of his mobile phone and type: "Shoot cleanly, I will attend a press conference in a while, and I will wear grass clippings to make headlines." But it's very disrespectful."

Carl then started more "gentle".

After sending a beautifully worded, stinky and long email with the subject line "Boss, we have eliminated Bayern!", Mourinho stuffed his phone back into his pocket, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw Karl blocking it. Faced with his face, he took out the beige silk handkerchief in his left breast pocket, and used a slow, delicate, and graceful movement... to wipe his palms?

"Did the dirt get on your hands?" Mourinho asked him suspiciously.

"No." Carl smiled, "It's just that I accidentally touched your butt."

Mourinho: "..."
