"What are they going to do with us, you say?"
On the bus to the Red Rebels Stadium in Bayern Munich, Olic looked out the window and could see the striking Red Rebels Stadium in the distance, which has almost become a landmark of Manchester. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Sitting next to Olic is Bayern's captain Philippe? Lahm is another player in the Bayern team who came out of the Red Rebels, and in front of them is Robben who is also looking at the Red Rebels stadium not far away.
Olic and Lahm are good friends, Robben is a bit withdrawn in the team, he doesn't have too many good friends, he has a little to do with everyone on the football field, and the rest of the time he does his own thing, not at all like a player from the Red Rebels.
"Maybe... It's going to be boo! Ram had some regrets.
Since Kahn's retirement, the captain's armband has fallen on Lahm's arm, which is a reward and an encouragement to him, who is already one of the captains of the German national team.
Compared to when he left the Red Rebels, Lahm now looks more sedate, although he is not tall and a little less typical of German players, but he is very qualified for the captaincy of Bayern.
Perhaps, he was born to play for this team, from the moment he joined Bayern's academy!
When the Bayern Munich team bus turned into the fork from the main road and approached the Red Rebels Stadium, you could vaguely see the distance of the fast lane, and the vicinity of the stadium players' entrance was already crowded with Red Rebels fans, all wearing red jerseys, obviously waiting for the Bayern Munich bus.
This made the players on the bus take a sharp breath, after all, the home team fans attacked the away team's bus repeatedly, and it can even be said that it happens several times a season, do the Red Rebels fans want to smash the Bayern Munich bus?
"They won't do that!" Robben suddenly spoke, and the projection in his eyes was trust, absolute trust!
The bus door opened, and Robben was the first to step out of the bus, when he heard a sudden uproar from the nearby Red Rebel fans.
"Arjan!" A lot of fans started shouting.
In the distance, three Red Rebel fans immediately pulled out a banner and saw that it read, "Welcome home, Arjan? Robben! 】。
Soon, when they saw Rahm also coming down, they immediately followed the uproar and also pulled out a banner welcoming Rahm home, which made the atmosphere of the scene very warm, and Robben and Ram, two Red Rebel veterans, took the initiative to walk in front of the fans, sign autographs for them, and accept photos through the iron fence.
"Perhaps, they have forgotten about me!" Olich smiled bitterly.
The fans are forgetful, and when Olic played for the Red Rebels, the Red Rebels were still in the lower leagues at that time, there were not many fans, and Olic was not a big star in the team.
However, the moment he got out of the bus, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly exploded, and all the fans screamed "Ivica, Ivica? Olich", along with a banner welcoming him, judging from the momentum of the scene, he seems to be more popular than Robben and Ram and others.
Not only Olic was surprised, but the other Bayern players were also a little surprised.
Oh my God, they really remember me!
This moved Olich a little, and the feeling that had passed for many, many years suddenly came to his heart.
It's been seven years, he's been out of the city for almost seven years, but the people here still remember him, and still remember the contributions he made to this team, even if they seem insignificant.
At this moment, Olic was eager to go up and meet the Red Rebels fans, as if he had been away from home for many years and returned home with his family, but his work ethic discouraged him, and he wore a Bayern shirt and could not make a move that embarrassed Bayern.
Even, when he got to the football field, he had to do everything he could to beat the Red Rebels, even in the depths of his heart, he still loved this team deeply!
…………………… Players from both sides walked into the pitch one after another to warm up.
Olich, Robben, Lahm and other three Red Rebel veterans all took the opportunity to warm up and came to Mourinho's side one after another, hugging the Portuguese tightly, and the live TV camera quickly captured this scene.
'It's amazing to see Jose Mourinho fatherly soothing Arjen Robben, Lahm and Olic as if the three players were still Red Rebels players and there wasn't even the slightest antagonism between them.
Even the commentators at the scene were embarrassed by this scene, and although he had been commenting on football games for many years, he rarely saw such a heart-warming opening.
"Perhaps, according to the surname of the Portuguese madman, he will let his three former proud disciples play their strength in the game as much as possible, he always has an inexplicable confidence in his team, as if the Red Rebels can defeat all strong enemies!"
After meeting Mourinho, Robben and the three were courteous to the Red Rebels players, especially a group of former teammates, who took advantage of the warm-up time to get together and talk for a while.
If you are careful at this time, it is not difficult to find that Robben was smiling when he talked to Kaka, which is an expression that Bayern fans rarely find on his face after he joined Bayern, but now, back to the Red Rebels Stadium, back to this place he knows and loves, he really smiles!
The stands of the Red Rebels Stadium are different from other stadiums, they are not high, and the lowest stands are close to the grass of the stadium, which allows the players to see every move of the fans on the field, and the fans can also observe the movements of the players up close, and the momentum created by the fans in the stands can be completely and completely transmitted to the stadium.
Standing in the middle of the stadium, listening to the movements and sounds of the Red Rebels fans from all directions, Olic felt as if he were in a rough sea, and he couldn't help but cheer at the feeling of being in the spotlight.
This is the home of the Red Rebels? A temple for Red Rebels fans?
Olic looked around, he was really, really excited, because he found that although the home field of the Red Rebels had changed, the atmosphere, the smell, had not changed at all.
It's been 7 years, it's been 7 years, and when he returned to the Red Rebels Stadium, he was still worried that he would feel strange, but at this moment, he suddenly found that he was the one who became the most!
Seven years ago, when he left the Red Rebels, he was a young player with a reputation, and seven years later, when he returned to the Red Rebels, he was already old, 29 years old is really not small for a professional player.
Sometimes, he will also contact the group of teammates who were in the Red Rebel Army back then, Juninho Jr. has already begun to consider retiring, he has already enrolled in the Red Rebel coaching training course in advance, his house in Manchester has not yet been sold, he said, for many years to come, Manchester, Newton Heath, or his home!
Max? Senna is also old, and he still has a very important role to play for Manchester United, so that the almost 33-year-old has not yet thought about retiring, and he still hopes to play for Manchester United for a while longer.
But it's kind of ironic, Max? The money Senna earned at Manchester United was given to the Red Rebels and handed over to the Red Rebels' investment and financial experts to be responsible for investing in him, not only him, but also many Red Rebels veterans.
The annual income is stable at more than 8%, and even 20% at high times, although some expenses and donations are deducted, but the player's income is still very high, which also makes many Red Rebel veterans have been taking this investment method.
Xiao Yu is a world-renowned rich man, and the Red Rebels are also a well-known giant team in football, they set up an investment advisory group, just to help players manage their finances, there is no need to be greedy for the players' money, isn't it?
Almuña and Hangrande at Arsenal, Colo? Toure is at Manchester City, Hleb and Abidal are at Barcelona, and the only players who remain in the team are John Terry and others.
Before you know it, you're getting old!
"The boss asked me to ask you, how are your family and children?" Curtis came up to Olrich and asked with a smile.
Olich was a little moved, and couldn't stop nodding, it was Xiao Yu who appointed him to join the Red Rebels, and this became a turning point in his career, and joining the Red Rebels became the proudest thing in this life.
"Take your kids and family to Manchester when you have time, see the boss, look at the boss, look at us, and Jim? Look, Kassel, the old man seems to be very moved! ”
Curtis was amused, but anyone could hear his excitement.
Every time they ushered in the old generals of the Red Rebels, their old courtiers of the Red Rebels were very embarrassed one by one.
Who would have thought that the team that had just been promoted to League One seven years ago would be able to produce so many superstars? Who would have thought that the League One team could be transformed into the supergiants it is today?
No one could have imagined it, because all of this is like a dream!
"You've matured a lot, Curtis!" Olich smiled and patted Curtis on the shoulder.
When he joined the Red Rebels, Curtis was 14 years old, Messi was 12 years old, two little kids mixed together all day, oh, and De Rossi, he was 16 at the time, but he was so young, Michael? Johnson and Ismail are also eleven or two years old.
But in a blink of an eye, these little imps have grown up!
Messi is one of the best superstars in the world today, Curtis is also the premier centre-back in football today, or is it the captain of the Red Rebels, Ismael and Michael? Johnson is already the best Academy player for the Red Rebels and is an important member of the squad, with De Rossi being the main midfielder.
At that time, the Red Rebels were only a team in the national league, and there were very few players in the team, except for the first team, there were few regular youth players in the academy, so they were very familiar with each other, unlike now, there are twenty or thirty people in each age group in the youth training system, and some people have trained in the same training base for several years but do not know each other.
"You have to be careful, it's Alves who is in charge of guarding you in this game, he won't let you have a good time, that kid is still an offensive freak like back then!" Curtis said with a smile.
Alves, who had been on loan from Brazil during his training camp with the Red Rebels, was impressed by Olic as a player on the right flank, as a winger, wing-back and full-back, but what remained constant was his attacking momentum.
Now he is the world's leading right wing-back, but his attack has not diminished at all!
"And me, you've got to be careful, Ivica!" Messi didn't know when he came over, and hugged Olich tightly, he was not tall, almost not enough to reach Olich.
Olic responded enthusiastically, but he couldn't help but feel absorbed in his heart, the most important task given to him by Klinsmann in this game was not to attack, but to cooperate with Lahm at left full-back, and join forces to limit the right side of the Red Rebels, the combination of Alves and Messi.
Lahm is biased towards attack, Olic is fast, physical, not weak in defense, and the combination of the two on the left just complements each other, while Bayern's formation in this game is to use 442 parallel positions, and Olic is the left midfielder.
Sometimes, Olich really felt as if he was going through an absurd stage play, and he couldn't connect the brilliant world-class superstars in front of him with the little kids he watched grow up with, and that gap really made him feel confused.
Fortunately, when he didn't know how to respond to Messi, the warm-up time was over, and the players had to return to the dressing room to accept the manager's tactical set-up.
Bayern Munich used 442 tactics in this game, and the goalkeeper was Rensing, and after Kahn's retirement, it was once rumored that Bayern had a crush on Adler and Neuer, but in the end neither player made the trip.
From left to right, the backline is Lahm, Lucio, Van Bitten and Oddson, who was loaned by Bayern from AC Milan during the winter break and was Bayern's main player on the right side for the second half of the season and played in the Champions League.
From left to right in midfield, Olich, Ze Roberto, Schweinsteiger and Robben are the two strikers, and the two strikers are a combination of Klose and Toney, which is also the main lineup of Bayern this season, and Klinsmann is not careless at all in the face of the Red Rebels.
The Red Rebels, for their part, were equally careless, with the new magic quartet of Ronaldo, Sergio Aguero, Lionel Messi and Kaka starting again, with Cesc Fabregas and De Rossi behind them, Patrice Evra, John Terry, Curtis and Alves behind them, and goalkeeper Petr Cech.
Both sides are playing with their main forces, and it is clear that no one wants to relax in this game, after all, this is a Champions League knockout round, and the stakes are high.
Klinsmann said before the game that although Bayern is a guest, they are still striving for a win!
When he said this, he seemed confident!
