Chapter 118: Champions League Semifinals!
Chapter 118 Champions League semifinals!
On May 1, on the afternoon of this day, the whole Bayern Munich team walked out of Manchester Airport.
The old handsome Heynckes who walked in the front was in good spirits and his eyes were bright.
And the Bayern Munich players behind him also talked and laughed one by one, and walked out of the pick-up port.
In addition to Bayern Munich fans, the most people who came to the airport were journalists.
"Mr. Heynckes, have you found a way to deal with Manchester United?"
"Mr. Heynckes, what do you think will be the outcome of the away game?"
......
The reporters' microphones reached out, but Heynckes smiled and didn't answer. It's not press conference time, and he's not obligated to answer any reporters.
The players in the back also ignored the microphones of the reporters, pulled their luggage, walked out of the airport, and boarded the red bus that had departed from Munich a week in advance, passed through Belgium, through France, and through the Undersea Tunnel in the English Channel, all the way to Bayern Munich.
Although the Bayern Munich players didn't say anything, the media didn't run out of news to write about.
"Bayern Munich came to Manchester three days early, they borrowed Manchester City's training base, and they rented a five-star hotel nearby, and now this floor is always watched by Bayern Munich players, no one wants to go in! This speaks volumes about how seriously Bayern Munich takes this game!! ”
"In the last round of the Bundesliga, except for goalkeeper Neuer, Bayern's main players have all been rested, and they have basically locked the league championship in the league, so Heynckes has the capital to do so, for this game, even if the league loses a few games, Bayern Munich still has a lot of confidence to win the championship!"
According to insiders at Manchester City's training base, Heynckes has banned Bayern Munich's players from going out, and they are returning to the hotel to rest in addition to training at the training base. Bayern during this period was fully committed to this game. Of course, Manchester City also provide a good service for White Hot Munich, and the training base is fully open to Bayern Munich these days, and Manchester City even let the players train on a different field for this purpose - their training base is big enough anyway. ”
The media reported on Bayern Munich's arrival in Manchester from all angles.
England's well-developed media can be regarded as an eye-opener for Bayern Munich players.
Even some tabloids even reported that Boateng took a whitening mask at night, and I don't know if it was an advertising fee from the mask manufacturer...
Manchester United are much more low-key than their opponents, and of course Manchester United Munich from England are more experienced in dealing with the English media.
Manchester United, of course, also take Bayern Munich very seriously as an opponent.
After winning Swansea and returning to Manchester, Manchester United did not even take a holiday, but went straight to the preparations.
Until the press conference the day before the game, the tension was getting stronger.
'Bayern Munich are a strong team, they play with a lot of discipline and they have rediscovered their style under Heynckes, so it's a very difficult opponent for us. Carlo Ancelotti was reluctant to reveal too much in his press conference.
The same can be said of Heynckes, but he also hails Carlo Ancelotti's work at United as "great and remarkable", a compliment that is not easy to come out of the mouth of an arrogant German.
The English media at the scene listened very well. After all, England has always failed to bargain with Germany in football, so much so that English football legend and now BBC host Lineker famously said: "Football is a game in which twenty-two players run on the pitch and the Germans win in the end." ”
The English felt the same way, and they fell at the feet of the Germans countless times ...
Speaking of England fans mentioning Germany, the general mood is similar to that of Chinese fans mentioning the South Korean team - I hate him, but I can't always play....
But that's different now, because United are not an all-English team. Their on-field captain Li Qingshan is a Chinese, and several main players are French, Argentine, and Spaniard......
In short, there are still the most English people, but people from other countries than the English do not think that "football is a game that the Germans win." ”
They don't have the demons of the English.
......
The media distraction did not distract the two teams from preparing for the game.
On May 3rd, Old Trafford, there was a drizzle in the sky, typical English weather.
In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United's home match against Bayern Munich is about to begin!
The players from both sides have already stepped into the pitch to warm up.
After the body is stretched, there is a warm-up session with the ball.
In the round shooting, Li Qingshan sent the ball into the goal with a burst shot, which caused screams and cheers in the stands.
Some of Bayern's players quietly looked at Li Qingshan, who was their main opponent in this game.
Judging by his shots, he is in excellent form, both physically and in peak form.
It's not easy to defeat such an opponent....
Heynckes wasn't really counting on a win at Old Trafford, with the away and home fixtures giving Heynckes more room to maneuver.
In this game, Heynckes is actually prepared to be stable, and it is of course the best to win the game, even if he does not win, a draw is an acceptable result for Bayern Munich!
When they return to Bayern's home stadium in Munich, Bayern will wrestle with Manchester United again!
But for Manchester United, it's a game you can't lose!
Because once you lose at home, it will be very hanging away from home, Bayern Munich is not a fish belly team, the opponent is a Bundesliga super giant, and it is a super strong team in the Champions League.
They have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for several seasons in a row!
In the face of such an opponent, it is absolutely not to be taken lightly.
The warm-up was over quickly, and the game was about to start when the players from both teams came out of the tunnel again.
The cheers at Old Trafford were so loud that everyone's eardrums were shaken.
On television, Ancelotti and Heynckes shook hands with each other.
"Fans and friends!! Now we are broadcasting live for you the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United at home against Bayern Munich!! ”
The voice of the commentator Duan Xuan and the cheers of the scene came at the same time, which shocked the Chinese fans who were staying up late to watch the game.
