"As we all know, Bayer Leverkusen is the representative of the Bundesliga technical teams in recent years. Their offense is very gorgeous and smooth. In the heyday of the pharmaceutical factory, no matter whether it was Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern or Real Madrid, they could not stop Leverkusen. Sen's offense. After Munich 1860 took over from Karl Osten, they have always performed particularly well in terms of offense. Their outstanding young players in the frontcourt make the Lions stand out in the Bundesliga. "

"So most of the media and fans' general prediction for this game before the game is that this will be a wonderful game with a big score. Of course, Leverkusen has a great chance to win in the end. After all, it has been a whole year since 1860 Munich Haven't played in the Bundesliga before, and most of their players are very unfamiliar with the top league... However, in their own home court, with their inherent advantages, 1860 Munich will change their previous style of play and be strong. Defense is something that many people have not thought of..."

There was a bit of doubt in the words of the Bavarian radio commentator Gehner, which also surprised many fans who wanted to see the battle.

Except that at the beginning of the game, Munich 1860 took advantage of their first kick-off and launched an attack, most of the time they played very...cautiously, most of the kicks happened in their own half, the players They never rush forward and they do look more defensive than offensive.

However, halfway through the first half, the change in the situation on the field made Gaynor full of praise for Munich 1860: "Berbatov attacked in front of the goal! Aha, this goal was not scored! Thanks to the defender Janke of Munich 1860 Berbatov and Johnson have never left their positions. They jumped up and blocked the football after Berbatov's shot! Although the ball was not blocked, it still changed the trajectory of the flight. The shot rubbed against the post Fly out!"

"Lions goalkeeper Hoffman breathed a sigh of relief! When Leverkusen launched this wave of offense just now, his attention was always on Rolfes who was dribbling the ball, and he never thought that he would pass the ball to Bale Batov, if Munich 1860's defense is not strong enough, the score on the field has changed at this time..."

"Leverkusen's offense is very efficient! They have shown a complete upper-class offensive level in the Bundesliga! The defensive counterattack tactics of Munich 1860 seemed a bit conservative at first, but if I evaluate it now, I think Oston's choice is very good. Wisely, he chose a tactic that fits against Leverkusen, rather than blindly following the team's usual style of play in the past, and he clearly knows what the team needs more in which situations."

The camera switched to the live broadcast, and gave a five-second close-up of Karl Oston who was standing on the sidelines like a sculpture. Since the end of the 04-05 season, the Bundesliga teams have received their own TV broadcast share, and After Munich 1860 just reaped the biggest sum (the TV broadcasting share is distributed according to the ratings, whichever team has the highest ratings will also get more money), all TV stations and teams have learned that placing a statue near the stadium can rival the Super League. The mascot of the model can also bring a lot of money to the club, not to mention that many female fans have long said frankly, "If there is no Carl, we will not watch any football games!"

In recent days, every time Munich 1860 matches, the ratings have increased again, a large part of which is contributed by female fans. Male fans are surprised by women's enthusiasm for football, but a post on a local forum in Munich has ruthlessly exposed the truth: Germany The hot weather has been frequent recently, when will Auston wear less clothes for us to see?

That's right, although formal attire has its own style, but it's those hot and cool outfits in summer that can really make female fans scream.

It's a pity that Carl Alston is obviously confused. Although the temperature in the city has reached 30 degrees, he has already discarded his coat and suit jacket, but every time he comes to the stadium, he still wraps himself tightly—— Today he is wearing well-tailored black trousers, a white shirt with a collared waistcoat, and a goose-yellow pinstriped tie. A pocket watch is pinned to the waistcoat. The overall look is quite literary and artistic at the beginning of the last century.

However, because this dress is too dense, it is only possible to capture the muscle lines of the eyes through the close-fitting clothes when walking. The female fans can't even see a piece of skin they want to see. They hold the remote control and face the TV. The computer screen kept complaining about Karl Oston's stinginess: "Will you die if you show more flesh?! Or just wrap your coat! What's looming is the most annoying!"

Gaynor glanced at the video screen and wondered inwardly: "Isn't it all shirts and trousers plus a suit, and I haven't seen any extraordinary clothes, how can I be named the best attire? Women's taste It's really weird..."

In July, the German edition of "Vogue" magazine held a selection activity for "Germany's most well-dressed celebrities" for all VIP members. Karl Alston ranked No.7 in the men's list, second only to Hollywood superstar Alan Cranstone behind, and the only sports person on the list.

Vogue, one of the world's top five fashion magazines, is most famous for its French and American editions, but the influence of the German edition in the fashion industry cannot be underestimated. After all, there are many well-known designers and brand operation directors in the fashion industry. They are all Germans, not to mention that the VIP members of the magazine are also known to be picky in the industry, and those who can make them all praise must have their own shining points... But this shining point Gaynor, who is a straight man, can't understand that's all.

……

What is the difference between the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga? The Munich 1860 players on the field can really feel it now-once Leverkusen’s offense starts, it is like a storm. The difference between focusing on one or two players is that the Bundesliga players are all very capable, and each of them can have an impact on the defense of 1860 Munich, especially their striker Berbatov, who last year Once Mr. Bulgaria dribbled the ball, the hearts of several players on the Lions' defense line immediately felt a thump.

It is a recognized fact that teams in low-level competitions cannot keep their stars. Most of the main players of the Bundesliga teams are practical players, but the Bundesliga is different. Stars can be seen everywhere in the Bundesliga, especially in strong teams such as Bayern , There are a lot of world-class players. It is these stars who have raised the strength difference of the Bundesliga and Bundesliga to a qualitative level.

The reason why stars are stars is precisely because their personal qualities are very strong, and they can shine on the court from time to time, and then change the pattern of the entire game for the team...

"Leverkusen midfielder Fryer passes the ball into the 1860 box... Berbatov! Berbatov again! He jumps from the spot... It's a header!"

"It's so dangerous! The ball flew off the crossbar again! Berbatov is the kind of player who can change the rhythm of the game. The scene just now was really thrilling for the goal of Munich 1860, but today's Munich 1860 seems to be divided. Fortunately, the Lions' goals have escaped disaster many times."

The Lions players, who had evacuated from the midfield and returned to the defense in an emergency, looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief—fortunately, they strictly followed the boss's order to implement tactics, otherwise, they would have died miserably today.

In fact, before the start of the first round of the Bundesliga, the dressing room of Munich 1860 was filled with an atmosphere of "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers". There are more than 20 players in the first team, and less than ten players have played in the Bundesliga. Without personal experience, they didn't feel how terrible Leverkusen was at all. They even clamored before the game to "make the medicine factory look good!" After Carl's tactical decision was made, many players still insisted on their own ideas... ...Now, they are all rejoicing.

……

In the 40th minute of the first half of the game, Leverkusen still failed to break through the Munich 1860 defense line, and because of the opponent's interference, the rhythm of the pharmaceutical factory gradually slowed down.

Leverkusen coach Klaus Augenthaler was a little surprised by the calm performance of the opponents Munich 1860 players in the game-you must know that most of the players sent by Oston are young players!What is the biggest problem with young players?Easy to be impulsive and inexperienced, it is easy to mess up and create opportunities for the enemy when attacked by oppression.

But Augenthaler did not see all of this from Munich 1860. In his eyes, this team can be described by the word "stable" from the beginning of the game to the present, and these two words are precisely Most of the current football teams that are dominated by young players lack the most.

Why does Munich 1860 have such a temperament?

Augenthaler can only think of one possibility: Karl Orston is very good at training players, and he must have a high prestige in the team, and he can suppress any impulsive emotions produced by the players.

Augenthaler didn't think there was anything difficult about this game-Leverkusen is a mid-to-upper team in the Bundesliga, while 1860 Munich is just a newly promoted team, and there are not many stars in the team.

But now, Augenthaler feels that the development of the situation is a bit beyond his expectations. If Leverkusen fails to score a goal in the entire first half... Augenthaler is thinking about how to deal with it.

At this moment, some commotion gradually appeared in the stands of the Allianz Arena:

Leverkusen fans have been singing the team's team song in the stands since the start of the game, but as the game progressed, the singing became more and more unstable. Many fans gave up singing and switched to shouting and cursing. Ways to vent their energy: They are eager to see Leverkusen break through the opponent's goal. After all, the fans of the pharmaceutical factory think that their strength is stronger than 1860, but the opponent's goal has been unable to attack for a long time. Seeing that the first half of the game is almost over , The situation on the court is still not warm, how can they not be in a hurry?

Finally, after seeing yet another attack by the team was dispelled, the fans of the pharmaceutical factory couldn't stand anymore. They stomped their feet, stretched their arms forward, and shouted: "Run! Pass the ball-shoot- Alas! What kind of fucking ball is this kicking!"

"Go! Go! Shred them!"

"Massacre! We want to see the massacre!"

"Attack! Attack! Shoot through their goal!"

The sound made by Leverkusen fans in the Allianz Arena failed to boost the morale of their own players, but it angered the fans of the home team-the Allianz Arena is the home stadium of Munich 1860, not Leverkusen!And the Allianz Arena is full today, which means that apart from Leverkusen fans, there are more than 6 Lions fans.

The fans of the pharmaceutical factory are clamoring to penetrate the goal of the Lions. Isn't it because they don't pay attention to these 6 people?

The fans of Munich 1860 were full of anger. They suddenly stood up from their seats and quickly launched a counterattack. They puffed up their mouths and booed violently in the direction of the away stands!

This is a burst of sound that can shake the entire stadium!

The terrifying volume and fierce momentum seemed to swallow up the more than 1000 seats in the away stands!

The Leverkusen fans were shocked. Facing the boos from the entire stadium, they felt chills and fear-compared with more than 6 other fans, the shouts of these pharmaceutical factory fans just now seemed to be precarious. I don't know where the small boat was swept away by lightning, thunder, storm and flood.

Even the game on the field was affected a little, because the noise was so loud that some players on the field stopped running and covered their ears in shock.

Augenthaler, who had been sitting on the coach's bench, turned pale. He held his breath and remained silent for a few seconds before recovering, and then a burst of anger surged into his heart: "Brutal Munich people, what are you doing?" What are you going to do? Are you trying to provoke me to have a heart attack? Wait, I will show you what Leverkusen is in the second half!"

……

"Do you still want to swarm Leverkusen to shreds?" Karl asked his players with a smile during the intermission.

The players laughed embarrassingly. Many of them had issued such "rhetoric ambitions" before the game as "Leverkusen is very good at attacking? See if I don't pierce their goal three times!".

"Actually, if you tell me now that you want to kill Leverkusen, not only will I not scold you, but I will also encourage you." Carl said with a smile.

Several players raised their heads quickly, their expressions filled with the word "disbelief". Just yesterday, they were scolded bloody by Karl because of their contempt for Leverkusen.

"I didn't tell you any lies." Carl looked at the players: "Have I ever done this?"

Those players shook their heads quickly.

Carl smiled and said: "I like your arrogant disdain when you know each other well, but I don't like your arrogance when you are in a state of ignorance. It is not a good habit to make judgments without knowing each other. There is an old Chinese saying that'know yourself and know your enemy A hundred battles are victorious', if you can say that you are not afraid of each other after fully understanding each other, then it is a true confidence performance..."

It was quiet in the locker room, the players, especially the younger ones, listening and thinking.

As for Karl, seeing their thoughtful expressions, he also felt a little emotional in his heart.

He is well aware that his coaching style is changing, and he prefers to pour cold water on his players recently.

When most people think of "halftime break + head coach", what they think of is that the coaches use words to motivate the players during the halftime break, so that their morale will be greatly increased, and they will not be afraid of any opponent. It doesn't matter if it's a super giant, because "being willing to cut the emperor down" is one of the most exciting parts of the football field.

However, if the head coach can only talk about encouraging morale, that's not okay. Most of the time, the coach is more calm than the players.

The players are the ones who execute the orders, and the coaches are the ones who assign the orders. What if the planners can't be calm and take care of the overall situation?

Especially in Munich 1860, the players in the locker room are too young and too impulsive, and it is easy to make mistakes when they are passionate.For example, before this game, some players did not know the intensity of the Bundesliga game because they had not personally experienced it, or perhaps they had not recovered from last season's Bundesliga title. They couldn't see the situation clearly and shouted for a game A good start to the league, giving Leverkusen a good look... But the situation in the first half is there. If Munich 1860 really fights against Leverkusen regardless, although they may break through the goal, but their own The gate must have been opened a few times too...

Munich 1860 is a fast-moving carriage, driven by this group of young players, they are energetic and energetic, they never seem to tire, and they never seem to let the carriage slow down, but they also have to tie the reins around their necks. , and the other end was held in Karl's hand, so that when they ran to the edge of the cliff, they reined in and let the carriage turn slowly.
