Chapter 298 The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie
This article by Zhang Wendong of "Sports Weekly" also attracted media hype and attention after it was published, and the two sides launched a heated debate on this issue.

Those who support Rongguang's participation in the Asian Cup think that Zhang Wendong is changing the concept secretly and talking nonsense.The Chinese team is not the French team, Alihan is not Jacquet, and Rongguang is not Cantona—it is almost as good as Zidane.There is still half a year to go before the Asian Cup, so we can start working on the team's lineup and tactics from now on.

Those who oppose Rongguang's participation in the Asian Cup believe that the current Chinese team is not weak, and they are playing at home, so they have a great chance of winning the championship, and there is no need to strengthen their strength.In order to enhance such a little strength, overthrowing the lineup and tactics that the team has worked so hard to adapt, it is picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons, and the gains outweigh the losses.Besides, Rong Guang suddenly joined the team as a pure rookie, what happened to the locker room?In terms of achievements, although he has only played professional football for two years, he has won more heavyweight championships than all other international players, and his net worth is also the highest in the history of Chinese football.It's all right if you say that he is a veteran like ***, but he is still a melon egg. How do you let those old international players face him in daily training and games!
So judging from the atmosphere in the locker room, Rongguang is eligible to be selected for the national team, and he can't want it.

No matter how strong he is, it is useless to destroy the unity and stability of the team.Football is an eleven-man sport, so even if he really stands out from the crowd, he won't be able to show his strength if he doesn't have other teammates to help him on the field.

Both sides have their own positions and reasons, and their reasons are very convincing and reasonable.

So no one can convince anyone.

Of course, among the fans, those who scold the Football Association still account for the vast majority, and they will not understand and support the Football Association's approach just because "Sports Weekly" endorses the Football Association.

Scolding the Football Association is a "politically correct" approach among Chinese fans.

In any case, it is right to scold the Football Association.

Just the scolding of the fans and the pressure of public opinion cannot change the mind of the Football Association.

During the debate, the Football Association remained silent.

What they want to say has already been said through Zhang Wendong of "Sports Weekly", so there is no need to waste words.They have always had such a noble and glamorous image.

I don't care what the media says about them, let alone what the fans think.Among the media and fan groups, various black histories of the Football Association have been circulated, and I have not seen what they have said or done.

Moreover, I dare not have the media challenge the Football Association face to face and ask them to explain clearly about Rongguang.

When the Asian Cup is about to be held, no one in the Chinese Football Association dares to offend in person.

Therefore, the Football Association can remain silent in the face of media doubts.

No one can shake them-now is not the Chinese football that will set off a black storm ten years later.

Domestically, in the media and on the Internet, everyone is arguing about whether Rongguang should be selected for the national team to participate in the Asian Cup, but Rongguang doesn't care about it at all-he doesn't even care about it.

He is still training and competing step by step.

During this period, he played a German Cup game.Although he didn't score a goal, he still used his excellent attack to help the other players of the team to contain most of the opponent's defensive attention.

In the end, Werder Bremen defeated Gretel from the Bundesliga 3-0 away.

But this game has nothing to say, everyone has gradually gotten used to Rongguang's performance.

Instead, another German Cup quarter-final has become the focus of everyone's attention.

This game is Bayern Munich's challenge to the Bundesliga team Aachen.

Bayern Munich, who played away in the first half, fell behind by two goals. The score of 0:2 put them in a big crisis.

And even worse was the performance of the Bayern Munich players on the pitch.

Hitzfeld played the main force in this game, a group of veterans with rich experience and outstanding strength, this lineup is not weak.

In the league, Bayern Munich has fallen too far behind, and Hitzfeld hopes to seize the opportunity of the German Cup, at least to have a championship.

He has decided to leave Bayern Munich after this season, but before leaving, he wants to win at least one championship to preserve his reputation, and at the same time prove to those who have been questioning and laughing at himself that Heisfeld is not old enough for them to wantonly insult!

So he attaches great importance to the German Cup.

But who would have thought that the leader of the Bundesliga, who had done his best in the first half, would achieve such a dick...

In the away game, he couldn't hold his head up when he was beaten by the second-tier younger brother Aachen, conceding two goals in a row!

Heathfield stood on the sidelines and watched the game. What chilled him more than the score was that he could not see the possibility of his team winning on the court.

Even if it is an away game, there is still a huge gap in strength between the two sides. How could it be possible to play like this?

He looked at the veterans.

Have they really lost momentum?
Is it really not enough to rely on these old guys who fought the world with me?
Seeing that the first half was coming to an end, Hitzfeld, who was standing on the sidelines, closed his eyes.

He felt a kind of pain, the pain of a collapsed belief.

He realized that what he had insisted on before would no longer work.

He has to make a change, or now he could end the season with an early bid for the title and end up with nothing.

In the face of sticking to his own principles and the cruel facts, what choice should he make?

Heathfield closed his eyes, but what emerged in his mind was the scene of Bayern Munich challenging Werder Bremen on the field in the first half of the season.

It was the figure of Rong Guang sprinting back and forth in front of the world champion Lizarazu, and it was the figure of Lizarazu clumsily working hard but was finally shaken and broke his knee and collapsed to the ground.

The old guy who worked hard got hurt, the old guy who stayed on the court was smart...

Young, young...

In the end, Rong Guang's energetic figure occupied all of Heathfield's mind.

He broke through Jeremiah, Ballack, Lizarazu and Link, and the ball that shot the football into Kahn was replayed repeatedly in Hitzfeld's mind, and the loop continued.

Heathfield, who closed his eyes, finally bowed his head. He lowered his stubborn head to the cruel reality.

That's it.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

For the sake of the championship, for the sake of dignity, for the sake of fame... so why not make changes?

At the end of the first half of the German Cup quarter-finals, Hitzfeld, standing on the sidelines, suddenly looked ten years older.He bowed his head and his back was slightly hunched.

But he has already made a decision in his heart.

It's time to change.

※※※

In the second half of the season, Heathfield replaced three young players in one breath. The 19-year-old "Little Pig" Schweinsteiger replaced Salihamidzic, the 21-year-old Misimovic replaced Pizarro, and the 19-year-old Trokhovski replaced veteran Sauer.

In the midfield, Hitzfeld changed his previous rigid tactics and played a big shift.

Schweinsteiger went to play right midfielder, which is still his job.

Trohovski is a versatile midfielder who can play in any position, so it is normal to replace Sauer as the left midfielder.

Misimovic played the second striker, but in fact Bosnia and Herzegovina is best at the front midfielder.However, there is no attacking midfielder in Hitzfeld's tactics at all-Rongguang was changed from an attacking midfielder to a striker by Hitzfeld in Bayern Munich at the beginning.

He made such a substitution adjustment at halftime, and Hitzfeld showed his courage.

In the end, this seemingly desperate adjustment has received very good results.

In the second half, under the leadership of the three young men, Bayern Munich exploded with great energy, and they completed a Jedi counterattack at the Tivoli Stadium.

No.601 minutes, Schweinsteiger suddenly cast a cold arrow outside the penalty area, the football went straight into the dead corner and flew into the goal of Aachen!
"Schweinsteiger! Beautiful long-range shot! He helped Bayern Munich get back a goal! Now they are only one goal behind!" To the cheers of the commentator Bela Reddy, Schweinsteiger ran with open arms.

He thought about what manager Hitzfeld had said to him at half-time.

"Use your strength to change the game, Schwein."

How could Schweinsteiger not know what this sentence means?

In the first half, he watched anxiously from the sidelines. He had already thought about how many times, what would happen if he went on the court, what would happen...

Now that an opportunity presented itself in front of him, if he didn't know how to seize it, he really deserved to be a substitute for the rest of his life!

This beautiful long shot made him clearly feel that he had seized the opportunity and strangled the throat of fate!
A bright future seems to have been blown out by this kick!
※※※

"Little Pig" Schweinsteiger's long-range shot sounded the horn of counterattack for Bayern Munich.

Misimovic, who was playing in a position he was not familiar with, also scored a goal to equalize for Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich's Jedi counterattack in the second half frightened Aachen. Only at this time did the Bundesliga team realize that the game against them was not an unknown person, but the majestic Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich!
The huge psychological gap prevented the Aachen players from performing well in the following games. In the end, they were reversed by Bayern Munich 3:2 with a two-goal lead, and they missed the semi-finals of the German Cup...

However, Bayern Munich had a Jedi counterattack in the second half, a shocking reversal.

The best performers were naturally the three youngsters who were replaced at halftime.Both Schweinsteiger and Misimovic scored. Although Trohovski did not score or assist, his breakthroughs and passes from the front and side also put great pressure on Aachen's defense.

They proved the strength of young people to Heathfield, and also made Heathfield's wavering heart firm.

Rejuvenation is already an inevitable trend. It is absolutely wrong to blindly ignore it, turn a blind eye to it, and avoid talking about it.

Hitzfeld has decided to use more young players in the next league, give them more playing time, let them participate in the competition for the team's main position, and stimulate the group of old guys who don't seem to have any hunger.

He hopes that the vitality of these young people can bring change to the stagnant Bayern Munich.

If the next games are played like the second half of this game, maybe...the league championship is not completely hopeless?
Hitzfeld's heart came alive again.
