Chapter 255 Bosque's First Crown

No one knows when Ronaldinho's fiery state will end. His crazy performance has made the entire Champions League tremble. Florentino even called Edward and offered a sky-high price of 1 million euros.

The chairman of Real Madrid really deserves to be a successful businessman. This transfer fee alone can cause a shock in the whole of Europe, making Real Madrid the most exposed team in the summer, thereby maintaining the commercial value of Real Madrid.Anyway, in a membership-based club, you can spend as much money as you want. He is not afraid of expensive people, but he is afraid of being too cheap.

It's a pity that Edward didn't give any face to him, so he resolutely refused to accept Florentino.In the previous life, Ferguson and Manchester United suffered a lot from this transfer, so how could Edward repeat the same mistakes.

This sky-high price seems shocking, but compared with Ronaldinho's role and his stable state for ten years, even a transfer fee of 1 million euros is a loss.

It is impossible for Edward to agree to this kind of business. Again, if a team wants to take Ronaldinho away, they can only pay 10 billion euros.

Without reaching this price, it is impossible for Ronaldinho to leave Union Berlin.

联赛继续高歌猛进，欧冠的第2回合当中再次2:0完胜，ac米兰总比分5:0淘汰了英超豪门，柏林联合终于迎来了本赛季的第1场决赛。

In the final of the German League Cup, their opponent is a relatively unexpected team, Wolfsburg.

Edward is not a fan of the Bundesliga. He doesn't know the two teams that entered the League Cup final this season, but he knows that it must not be Wolfsburg, because Wolfsburg's performance is not very good. Now that the opponent has entered the final, let him Feeling very surprised.

But he doesn't think Wolfsburg will cause Union Berlin any trouble.

Now the only one in German football that still has some threats to Berlin Union is Bayern Munich. If other teams don't take advantage of Berlin Union's nap, they have no chance at all.

Originally, the final was supposed to be held at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, but playing in Berlin is a torture for the visiting team. Even though this stadium is not the home stadium of Union Berlin, it is completely no different from the home stadium of Union Berlin. Under the strong protest of Fort, the game was changed to a neutral pitch.

At the beginning, the German Football Association preferred Bayern Munich's home court, but how could Edward agree to such a thing?
Playing at the Allianz Arena is like playing an away game.

In the end, the game was arranged at the Auf Schalke Stadium, the home of Schalke 04.The relationship between Union Berlin, Bayern Munich and Dortmund is very bad. Apart from them, there are better stadiums, and only the allies of Union Berlin are left.Union Berlin has only one attitude. If they do not accept Schalke 04 playing the final at home, they will continue to play in Berlin.In the end, both parties could only accept this request.

In fact, this is a relatively fair thing. After all, if you play in the Ruhr area, there will be many Dortmund fans who will come to cause trouble for Berlin Union.

It can even be said that there is a small disadvantage for Union Berlin. After all, Schalke 04 fans will not know how good the relationship between Eduardo and Aschauer is.

When dealing with the enemy, Dortmund fans will be more excited, but for an ally, Schalke 04 fans may not be able to show such great enthusiasm.

But Union Berlin doesn't care about these details. In the face of absolute strength, they are not afraid even if they go to Turkey to mention the game.

Even the Wolfsburg players never thought that there would be hope of winning this final. As professional players, they also had motivation to win, but the exaggerated strength gap between the two sides made them feel desperate.

The strength of Union Berlin is obvious to all. If there is a disagreement, they will learn in various ways. This is already well-known in Europe. Even the Premier League giants like Liverpool have suffered a lot from them.

Although Wolfsburg is also a giant in Germany and has the support of the Volkswagen Group behind them, their current results are much worse than their Liverpool.Not to mention that AC Milan lost to Union Berlin 5:0 in two rounds. You must know that S-Milan was the Champions League champion two years ago.

But in this case, they can only fight to the death. For the Wolfsburg players, this game may not win the championship, but it is also a game to make their dignity. They would rather die standing than live on their knees. better.

Before the start of the game, the fans of both sides in the stands were about the same. After all, the home and away tickets were divided into the same number, and the local neutral fans, the fans who came to support Union Berlin and Wolfsburg were not in the majority of Union Berlin. In this regard, they have a slight advantage, but more fans of the local teams can tell from the jerseys they wear. Blue and yellow are not the colors of the jerseys of the two teams in the final.

The coach of Wolfsburg did not miss every opportunity to encourage the players. Magath pointed to the stands and said to the players: "See, we are also very popular, not worse than Union Berlin at all, even for Fans, we have to show our best performance today."

The fans also knew that it was difficult for them to win the championship today, but they still followed the team to the Ruhr area to watch the final. This kind of support moved the Wolfsburg players very much.

With the support of someone, even if you know you can't do it, you have to do it. This is the fate of professional players.

Of course, there is also a reason for the cheapness of German tickets. The Bundesliga tickets are very cheap. Even if this game is the final, when buying tickets for a group, you only need to spend more than ten euros for the regular price ticket, which is more than twenty euros. , Compared with the tickets in England, which cost dozens or even hundreds of pounds, the gap is not ordinary.

In any case, the Wolfsburg players decided to fight Union Berlin.

However, after only a few minutes of the opening, they felt that the idea of ​​a fight might not be realistic.

Although the level of support from fans on both sides is similar, Wolfsburg still has the upper hand with the support of Dortmund fans.

However, the strength gap between the two sides is not so easy to smooth out. The glass is bonded and the sharp offense makes it difficult for them to adapt.Even when Union Berlin was passing the ball, they felt the insurmountable sky, notice that they didn't touch the ball for a full 5 minutes.

This feeling makes them very uncomfortable. They really have the motivation and the heart to fight to the death, but this is a football game, and they can't even get the ball. What a fart.

It's not that they haven't met Union Berlin before, but Union Berlin has never had such a strong control. Is this the change brought to them by the Spanish coach?
This is indeed a bit uncomfortable.

When facing strong teams such as Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg with poor performance can at least find room to resist, but they are completely at a loss in this situation where they can't even get the ball. How to play football?

In this case, Magath can only let the team keep retreating, employing people to pile up a line of defense in the penalty area, waiting for the opportunity to fight back.

But they thought too much. In fact, a team of the level of AC Milan has no way to fight back against Union Berlin.

Union Berlin's defense line is becoming more and more stable now. Nesta is the world's number one defender when he is healthy. He not only defends accurately and tackles decisively, but most importantly, he seems to be the leader of Union Berlin when he directs the defense line. The entire line of defense is uniform.

Wolfsburg's personal tactics did cause a little trouble for the glass United, but in the 13th minute Van Persie's barb goal in the penalty area gave Berlin Union the lead.

In this case, Wolfsburg's defense is meaningless. When the score is behind, they want to make the game not a waste of time, so it is only possible to survive standing up if they come out.

Wolfsburg's offensive ability is still good, and Magath is very artistic in training the team, but when facing Union Berlin, they are definitely at a disadvantage in attacking.

After they confessed, Union Berlin got more opportunities. The opponent's half-court was free when Union Berlin made a sharp pass, which could easily tear apart the opponent's defense.

Van Persie, Arjen Robben, and Ronaldinho made sharp breakthroughs in the frontcourt, and they stabbed Wolfsburg one by one.Soon Wolfsburg became scarred and bleeding. Union Berlin's offense was simply not something they could defend, and they had even more brain problems when playing against each other.

During the intermission, Union Berlin had already led 4:0, and Ronaldinho scored twice. This kind of score happened for the first time when Union Berlin entered the League Cup final. The last time the League Cup final was in the first half They did not propose such a score.

But for fans, it feels like this kind of thing is commonplace.

Union Berlin's offensive ability is also too strong. No one thinks that Wolfsburg is not strong enough. After all, they are also a team in the middle and upper reaches of the Bundesliga. They can enter the Champions League if they fight hard.

But the gap between Union Berlin and Germany's second group is just that big.

Now the territory of the Bundesliga is a super double strong and a melee.This draw is Union Berlin, and then the two strong teams are Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich. Although Schaff's team lineup is a bit worse, he has evened the gap with Bayern with his coaching ability.

Then there are traditional strong teams such as Wolfsburg Stuttgart.Another interesting thing is that at the beginning of this season, after being studied by Union Berlin, Dortmund has suffered a lot all the way. I am afraid that the bankruptcy at the end of the season will make them worse.

Even the commentators are persuading Wolfsburg to strengthen their defense and not to lose too ugly in the final.

The advantage of Union Berlin is too obvious, the game is completely in their hands, and Wolfsburg has nothing to do.Their offense was good, but unfortunately they couldn't break through the glass United's goal, but after every attack, Union Berlin's counterattack made them very uncomfortable. In this case, their defense became a piece of paper.

This game is really unplayable.

Magath is also very pragmatic. After a head coach figured it out, he replaced two defensive players at the beginning of the second half.

Before the start of the game, they still had the idea of ​​fighting, but they were already four goals behind and played against the glass jointly, that would be out of their minds.

If Union Berlin is allowed to score again, not to mention the biggest score difference in the League Cup final, it may even become the biggest score difference in German football.At that time, Magath would have no excuses and could only dismiss get out of class sadly.

Now this game is not about him leading the team to compete for the championship, but fighting for his own coaching position.It is very difficult to win when playing against Union Berlin now, but what kind of scene you lost and how many goals were scored by Union Berlin are important data used by the German media to measure the ability of a coach.

You can't just say that there is a big gap in strength between the two sides, and then be marked with a double-digit score. This kind of performance is unjustifiable, and there is no excuse for explanation.

Seeing that the opponents are very savvy and the tight schedule of Union Berlin has no idea of ​​killing them all, Bosque arranged for the players to mention health football.

Union Berlin is fighting on 4 fronts, so it would be better if they could save some effort in the final.

So the two sides tacitly began to bring up the tacit ball.

So in the second half, many fans felt disappointed. Both sides failed to score again. The players of the two teams had no intention of fighting hard. Even the players of Union Berlin, only a few people were motivated, such as Ronaldinho, who performed consecutive hat-tricks. The record of consecutive hat-tricks in German football is still interrupted.

At the end of the game, Union Berlin lifted the League Cup championship trophy lightly. This is the first championship of Union Berlin this season and the first championship of Union Berlin of Bosque Vocational Education.

It's just that the players of Union Berlin are not very excited. Their vision is already high now. They have no interest in the German domestic cup champion at all. They are not going to hand it over to others, but they are not ready to celebrate. In the eyes, it is like eating and drinking water, which must be obtained and cannot be handed over to others, but no one will feel excited just because of eating and drinking water.

In the post-match press conference, Magath had no doubts about the strength of Union Berlin.

Half of his behavior was sincere, and the other half was to justify himself.

After all, losing to a strong opponent is nothing too embarrassing.

The score of this game is also reasonable, and Magath's coaching position can be regarded as preserved.

The final did not cause much trouble in Germany, and no one thought Wolfsburg could beat Union Berlin in the final.The strength of Union Berlin is stronger than any other team in football before. In the summer, the most discussed thing in the coaching forum was how to deal with Union Berlin. That's weird.

The consensus they have reached is to use defensive counterattacks and set-piece tactics when playing Union Berlin. This is the simplest and most effective way, and of course it is also compared to other tactics.Generally speaking, the coaches are still having a headache for Union Berlin. The tactics of Union Berlin have been continuously improved and evolved by the three coaches, leaving them no time to crack them.
