Chapter 574 Cold Moscow
Moscow is actually as cold as Fan Shang imagined, and it is only here that I know what it is like to be cold.It is not enough to look at the Northeast of Heaven here.

After getting off the plane, the team quickly got on the bus, got off the bus and hurried into the hotel, and entered the house, it was an absolute contrast to the outside world.

Other things in this game are not important, the important thing is two points, less conceded goals and no injuries, this is what Fan Shang said to the players after stepping on the field.

There was no snow when I stepped on the field. The field is hard and the soil on the ground is frozen. It is said that it will snow on the day of the competition. The situation will definitely be worse than it is now.

To be honest, the overall strength of Lokomotiv Moscow is not very strong. From Fan Shang’s point of view, they are not as strong as their rivals in the same city, CSKA Moscow. However, their home record is very good. In the group stage, they relied on their outstanding performance at home. The ability to beat Inter Milan won the second place in the group and the right to qualify.

So Vincent must be extra careful when he arrives at the home court of Lokomotiv Moscow.Of course, Fan Shang still complained about this frozen soil field before the game, "I think UEFA should restrict these players who are close to the Arctic Circle, and don't hold games here in winter. There is no need for players to collide, as long as they fall to the ground, it is estimated that breaking a bone does not require force."

Regarding Vincent's complaints, many head coaches of continental European teams agree, and they have also suffered from the cold Russian game.However, UEFA has no voice. To be honest, it is impossible for them to change the home and away system. Can you stop letting them play at home?So the answer is better than silence.

However, Platini still called Fan Shang and told him not to talk nonsense. What he said made UEFA ugly, so maybe there is any draw or referee arrangement that may be unfavorable to Fan Shang. .

"Such a small belly, didn't you just tell the truth!" Fan Shang was a little helpless, but it's okay, the lottery has passed, and the referee?The story of Italy and the shamelessness of Real Madrid, the others are really childish in front of Vincent.

The weather on the day of the competition was really determined by the weather forecast. It began to snow in the morning of that day. Although the snow stopped at noon, the snow on the field was no joke.

Fan Shang used the words he learned from books when he was a child, that is a scene of a bumper harvest, why? "Auspicious snow heralds a good year".However, the game cannot be played on snow, so the staff began to clean up the outside of the field as soon as the snow stopped. Before the game started in the afternoon, the snow was shoveled out of the field, but the field was still not green, it was still a vast expanse of white. .

There is no way, the game cannot be canceled because of this kind of thing, so it must be carried out on time.Today's game ball has been changed from ordinary black and white to orange. This color is conspicuous, otherwise the players may not be able to see the incoming ball.

Today, all the players in Bayern Munich basically wore a tights first, and then put on the jerseys, so as to keep warm a little bit, it is too cold.

The same pre-match ceremony, both teams were wrapped like a piece of bread, no one can just stand in the ice and snow in shorts and listen to the theme song of the Champions League, even the referee is the same.

Although Fan Shang still used the formation of 451 in this game, he was very cautious in the selection of players. Those with vitreous physique and those who were prone to injury were all taken down by Fan Shang. In this game, Fan Shang put on the field are all tough guys , and there are also older ones who were also hidden by Fan Shangxue. If they are injured, young people should recover faster.

Therefore, Fan Shang's lineup today is basically a few main players pulling most of the substitutes in the game. Bayern Munich's starting lineup today is: goalkeeper, Kahn, four defenders, Lahm, Link, Kovac, Sagno Er, five midfielders, Ballack, Jeremiah, Schweinsteiger, Salihamidzic, Ze Roberto, striker Ziegler.

Today Fan Shang's requirements are much simpler, that is defense, don't worry about offense and so on, as long as he tries to concede as few goals as possible in this game, Fan Shang will be satisfied.Ze Roberto played the role of a full-back. Ribeiro is still a bit fragile now, so Vincent did not dare to let them play, so he used the combination of Salihamidzic and Ze Roberto. The striker is A durable center like Ziegler is the most suitable.

As soon as the opening game, Bayern Munich began to shrink, waiting for the Moscow locomotive to attack. At this time, Vincent requested that the weather should be closer and warmer.

Lokomotiv Moscow really didn't expect that Bayern Munich could put their stance so low. What they have been practicing is how to defend against Bayern Munich's powerful offensive and organize an effective counterattack.

But why is Bayern Munich different now? This time, Lokomotiv Moscow will no longer be able to play football. Basically, they have never enjoyed this kind of treatment, and they are a little helpless in the face of this situation.

The head coach of Lokomotiv Moscow, Semien, also feels a bit difficult now. The players in his hands have never studied how to break the secret. If Bayern Munich does this, the field may be chaotic.

Sure enough, the current attack of Lokomotiv Moscow is like a headless chicken. There is no main attack point at all, and they do not have a clear idea whether to attack from both sides or from the middle. The goal, and even if they reach the offensive positions of the two sides or the center, they still have to choose now in what way they choose to send them into the penalty area in the next step.

This is not a joke. You can agree with Bayern Munich’s defensive players, so 25 minutes into the first half, Lokomotiv Moscow didn’t even take a shot. In fact, the ball didn’t even enter the penalty area. Or the defenders in the middle of the field are destroyed.

But so far, Bayern Munich's counterattack has not been effectively organized. It is okay when defending, but when it comes to attacking, the players feel that they can't run. There is a feeling of stepping on this concrete floor to play football.

It was okay at the beginning, but the feeling got worse as it progressed to the end. At least the staff took care of it before the opening, but now it was frozen again.

Fan Shang also didn't want the players to hold them. Seeing that Salihamidzic and Ze Roberto ran awkwardly when they were about to counterattack a few times, they simply gave up the attack. With a wave of his hand, the players all stood on the defensive side. Location.
