Chapter 182: Facing the Bundesliga Giants (2)

Lao Lei's words to the Munich reporter were also immediately published in major newspapers the next day, and once again succeeded in making European football realize his unruly character. Few young players are as open-mouthed as Lao Lei's, and he has to be so dismissive and direct when facing the giants. His words almost unveiled the fig leaf of Bayern, and last season's performance in the Champions League is something that every Bayern fan or staff member does not want to recall.

This naturally led to a series of verbal wars on the Bayern side. In particular, the response of the lion king Kahn was the most intense, bluntly saying: "That kid who doesn't know the height of the sky will never appreciate the greatness of a club like Bayern." He never thought he could join Bayern, he would never deserve Bayern. The rest of the Bayern players such as Ballack, Pizarro, and Kufuor also issued their own responses, saying that they would teach Lao Lei and Porto a good lesson at the Allianz Stadium.

On the side of Porto, although Mourinho also has a bit of a headache for Lao Lei's mouth, he is unreservedly on Lao Lei's side in front of outsiders. Speaking to the media, he bluntly said: "I don't know what people are surprised about, Reima just told the truth." Maybe Bayern in the 01-02 season was really good, but that was just in the past, wasn't it? IMHO, I don't see any reason why Bayern can put a big deal in front of us right now. Victory? That's ours. In addition to Mourinho, the Porto players who played their hearts in the group stage also came out to support Lao Lei, and released the words of a victory at the Allianz Stadium.

Just as the pre-match war of words gradually heated up, Mourinho stopped the players' shouting in time. I came out alone to fight the German media. This is an old trick used by Mourinho, using a war of words to beat the opponent's feelings. Influence the preparation of others, and take over all the quarrels on your own side. Let your disciples be fully prepared for battle. However, to Mourinho's disappointment, he has never been able to lure Bayern head coach Heathfield out, so he can only scold the old fox in his heart. Thinking about the other party's coaching experience and resume, Mourinho also knows his own tricks, and it is estimated that the other party has seen it I don't know how many times, so he had to give up the tactics of the war of words and bury his head in preparation for this game with Bayern.

In the elimination of the Champions League, the away game is very important because of the saving zĂ i of the away goal system. A team's home station results. It is often the ability to directly influence how far the team can go in the Champions League. And Mourinho, although he is confident in front of the media, still attaches great importance to it in private. After all, this is the first time he has led the team to play the knockout round of the Champions League, and he is facing the famous green Hollywood Bayern, and he has some bottomlessness in his heart. So in the days of preparation, Mourinho often stayed up all night to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this Bayern team's tactics. Against such a team, even if it is superior in strength, but a negligence may make the team fall into defeat, not to mention that the real strength of Porto is about the same as Bayern, at most it is better than Bayern on the table. Such an advantage is not enough to reassure Porto. After all, no one knows what kind of performance Bayern will break out in this game, still sluggish, or return to the top.

In order not to let the disciples be too confident. Mourinho also deliberately caught Lao Lei, a rising bird, and reprimanded him well. With the relationship between Lao Lei and Mourinho, Lao Lei naturally knows what Mourinho means. So he was honestly punished by Mourinho. In fact, although Lao Lei doesn't look down on Bayern verbally, he actually attaches great importance to it in his heart. After all, he himself was with Barak. Karn and the others have personally fought against each other, how can they not look down on their strength. Those remarks were just a displeasure to the Munich media's magnanimous style. At the same time, the great stadium of Allianz Stadium was also favored by Lao Lei. As a person who has a hobby of conquering great stadiums, how could Lao Lei let go of Allianz Stadium. After tasting the taste of the Bernabeu, I don't know what the Allianz Arena tastes like, Lao Lei said in his heart, licking his lips with his tongue, and his eyes showed a greedy gaze like gluttony.

As for Bayern, Heathfield is also preparing for the game in earnest. Seeing Mourinho's psychology and tactics, he ignored him at all, prepared for the game with peace of mind, and later ordered that the players were not allowed to be interviewed, and he was not fooled at all. Heathfield were not at all careless about this game in Porto. As a manager, he himself knows best what Bayern Munich's current form is like.

The backwardness of the style of play, the continuous upgrading of staffing, these problems are clear to him. But he is stubborn by nature and does not want to make changes. In particular, the glory of the past has strengthened his view. The glory of 01-02 years, and the current situation are very different, which makes him unwilling to accept that his set is outdated. When the reform of the era comes, people will always find it difficult to accept the new era because of the glory of the king, but in fact, this is just self-deception. But as a successful manager, who's to say that Heathfield didn't succeed because of this stubbornness, and it's impossible to say what is right or wrong.

But the reality is always cruel, especially under the trend of reform in the new era. The inaction of the European season in the past two years has made Bayern's top management tolerate Heathfield, the club's former meritorious coach, to the extreme. For Bayern, it is normal to win the title at home, but the club needs and cares more about the team's performance in the European arena. When a manager's results no longer meet the requirements given by the club's hierarchy, it is when he wants to stay away, most of such clubs are giants, such as Real Madrid, such as Inter Milan, such as Barcelona, and of course Bayern.

In fact, Bayern's top management has also given Heathfield an ultimatum a long time ago. This season's results for Bayern, at least the league title and the Champions League semi-finals, if not, Heathfield can be ready to find a job again. In addition to the club's top management, there is also a growing dissatisfaction among Bayern fans with Heathfield, who have forgotten that this is the champion coach he had enshrined two years ago. So the pressure on Heathfield at this time is really not small, if you win, you have the possibility of staying, and if you lose, you can only go. Although Bayern will not dismiss Heathfield in the middle of the season, they will definitely face the situation of leaving after taking over the season.

Just when both sides were nervously preparing for the game, due to the fierce war of words between the two sides, the attention of this game rose again. In fact, this game did not receive much attention from the media of other countries except for the media attention of both countries. At this time, football reporters from all over the world flocked to Manchester. In addition to the only pair of giants in the 1/8 knockout round between the Red Devils and the White Giants, there is also the sensational story of Beckham's return to Old Trafford, which is more talked about than Porto's confrontation with Bayern. And this war of words finally attracted more reporters to watch the battle. This made Lao Lei and Mourinho, the power of the master and apprentice who would later be known as the news-making machine to create topics, and gradually showed it in front of European football.

The day of the game was fast approaching, and the Porto players were warming up before the game. During the entire warm-up time, more than 70,000 Bayern fans who came to the scene used their strong boos to express their welcome to Lao Lei and others. However, after Lao Lei came to Porto, Porto's players have long been accustomed to such treatment. Like Maniche and others, they were even brought up by Lao Lei to have the same habit and enjoyed the boos of the opposing fans very much. If you don't boo a few times away from home, you don't feel very comfortable.

When Porto was warming up, Lao Lei accidentally looked to the other side, and saw that Karn and the others were pointing at him with unkind expressions, and it didn't seem to be saying anything good. And this is, Karn also saw Old Ray looking at him. Then he suddenly waved his clenched fist at Lao Lei a few times, and the meaning of the demonstration was very strong. Old Ray was already surprised by such a level of provocation, and immediately made a gesture of spreading his hands out, shrugging his shoulders, and indifferent to Karn, while the corners of his mouth pulled down with a disdainful smile.

At this time, the camera broadcast on the spot also discovered the confrontation between Lao Lei and Karn, and pointed the camera at the two people. Let the Bayern fans on the scene clearly see the small exchange between Lao Lei and Kahn on the big screen, and the expression that Lao Lei does not "respect" Kahn immediately made the boos of Bayern fans go up a level, and some fans also scolded Lao Lei for personal attacks, and stretched out their middle fingers. Kahn is the captain of Bayern, and the Golden Retriever Lion King has become the spiritual leader of Bayern, so Bayern fans will naturally not be very polite to Lao Lei, who is-for-tat with Kahn.

Since the stands at the Allianz Arena are close to the stadium, the distance between the fans closest to the stadium and the stadium is a strip of separation. In such an atmosphere, the boos of the fans naturally became louder when they reached the ears of the players. Such a distance can bring up the atmosphere of the scene even more. And compared to Real Madrid fans, there is no doubt that the atmosphere at Bayern is more enthusiastic.

However, such an atmosphere did not make Lao Lei flinch, but his eyes lit up, and his eyes showed a more excited look. Looking at the fierce Bayern fans around him, Lao Lei decided to add some material to them.

He walked to the center of the pitch and stopped, raised his hands, and came to his ears to make a trumpet shape.

Then start turning in place.

His eyes were full of provocation and disdain, and the corners of his mouth skimmed out a trace of disdain.

Although he did not speak, everyone knew what he meant.

Where's your boo?! Loud point! Louder!!

After 3 seconds, "Shh!!h ”

This became the most moving music in Old Ray's ears! (To be continued......)

PS: Apologies for error correction: There was a bit of a ridiculous error like 1/16 in the previous chapter. After the crying ghost himself suddenly remembered, he couldn't cry or laugh. Apologies! Apologize!! Such a mistake is really undeserved. I hope you can forgive me!!
