Champion’s Heart

Chapter 165 War of words

? At the press conference after the game, Stuttgart head coach Labbadia did talk about Shaheen's foul. He believed that Shaheen should be sent off with a direct red card, and believed that if Shaheen was sent off, the situation of the game would be very different. A fundamental reversal will occur, and Stuttgart is not without a chance to equalize the score.

Regarding Labbadia's statement, Klopp's response was that at that moment, he did not see clearly what was happening on the court. Since the referee has made the penalty, all anyone needs to do is respect the referee. Penalty. As for whether Stuttgart can equalize the score if Shaheen is sent off, Klopp said this question is not worth mentioning and refused to answer.

What Klopp didn't say, Dortmund's media gave the answer. They believed that Labbadia was too high-minded about Stuttgart's ability. Even if Shaheen was sent off, at most the two teams would have the same number of players. In the remaining game time, With little time left, Stuttgart has no obvious advantage. How can it be possible to equalize the score?

Besides, is Klopp a fool? If you know your team is missing one player, why don't you shrink your defense? As long as Dortmund shrinks, it will not be easy for Stuttgart to score goals.

So Labbadia was just venting his emotions randomly, and it didn't make much sense. Even if Shaheen is sent off, it will not change the outcome of Dortmund's victory in this game.

In fact, Labbadia's words did not have much influence in Stuttgart. The main reason is that the Munich media is hyping up the situation. Under the guise of complaining for Stuttgart, it is actually fighting for the interests of Bayern Munich.

The Munich media also interviewed Atkin, the referee who officiated the game. Atkin also admitted that he did not see Shaheen's tackle clearly. After the game, he re-watched the video and thought that Shaheen's action was It was indeed a foul, and this foul should have resulted in a red card.

These words made the Munich media feel as if they were on drugs. They were extremely excited and tried their best to hype that Dortmund benefited from the referee's mistakes in law enforcement.

Of course, even if Atkin admitted that he missed the red card to Shaheen, it would not be able to change the outcome of the game. Football is not allowed to change the penalty based on video on the field, let alone after the game is over.

The Munich media are also aware of this, so they are so vigorously reporting on the misjudgments in the match between Dortmund and Stuttgart. They are not hoping to change the result of the game and award Dortmund a draw - there is no legal basis for doing so.

So does the Munich media’s approach make no sense?

Of course not.

In doing so, they are actually creating the public impression that Dortmund has repeatedly benefited from the referee's misjudgments. When they continue to promote this, many people who don't know the truth will believe it and think that Dortmund is really Received more special care than other teams during the game.

Once this kind of public opinion is formed, it will affect Dortmund's subsequent games. For example, in a certain game, the referee may be more inclined to support Dortmund in the game to prevent himself from being attacked by public opinion or excessive attention. For opponents, some of the penalties that Dortmund could have rightfully benefited from have become more favorable to their opponents.

Such penalties may not matter once or twice, but when accumulated, they may become an important weight in determining the final league championship.

This is the wishful thinking of the Munich media.

In this regard, the Dortmund media naturally wanted to speak out for their team.

As a result, the media from the two places had a dialogue across the distance.

Dialogue is a slightly more civilized term. In Chinese Internet parlance, it means tearing each other down.

It doesn't sound nice to argue, but the conversation seems much more civilized.

But in fact, it is not very civilized, and both sides have a strong smell of gunpowder.

Dortmund has taken away the league championship from Bayern Munich for two consecutive seasons. Since the two sides have been direct competitors in the past two years, they have a very strong sense of competition and have to compete with each other in various fields. For example, Dortmund's general manager Zoë Erke criticized Bayern Munich's poaching in Germany, which is a cancer affecting the development of German football.

Bayern Munich, in turn, criticized Dortmund for poaching players. According to statistics, it was Dortmund who bought the most players from other German clubs.

The competition for the league title this season is even more exciting, and the atmosphere between the two sides will naturally be stronger.

As for what happened this time, what do the players think?

As the core of Dortmund, Zhou Yi naturally cannot avoid such controversial topics. Reporters will catch him and ask him what he thinks no matter what.

It has nothing to do with us, right? Zhou Yi asked in response to the reporters' questions. The media talks and fights with them. They rely on this to attract attention. Of course they have to fight. But we don't have to.

Zhou Yi spread his hands.

But will the controversy of public opinion affect the team? a reporter asked.

The impact is not big. Zhou Yi shook his head, We often have wars of words like this, and everyone is used to it. The media is free to say whatever they like.

Then are you worried that the public pressure created by Munich will affect the referee's penalty against Dortmund in future games? another reporter asked.

Don't worry. Zhou Yi said with a straight face, I believe that every referee has their own judgment and will not be easily affected by public opinion. And it is useless to worry about this kind of thing, right? Just be yourself, as long as If we perform well enough, we can offset a lot of other negative factors.

Zhou Yi seemed very confident when he said these words. Although his team is actually two points behind Bayern Munich in the standings, his statement made it sound as if they were two points ahead. Just be yourself and don't worry about others. This argument is not ordinary. Is that something only leaders say?

However, as the core of the team, it is normal for Zhou Yi to say this. He needs to use such a statement to stabilize the morale of the army. If the core players of a team show a lack of confidence, how can it be possible to lead the team to victory? Aren't other players even more panicked? Don't even say that he lacks confidence. If he doesn't show confidence, it will be easy for the Munich media to seize the opportunity and hype it up. Then there will be gimmicky and sensational headlines like Borussia Dortmund Core Surrenders Early. According to reports, it has become a psychological war against Dortmund.

Compared with Dortmund's stumble and defeat of Stuttgart, Bayern Munich's side was much smoother. While their own media was having a war of words with the Dortmund media, the team defeated Hamburg with an astonishing score of 9:2 at their home court. This score shocked the German football world.

You know, this score was played against the background of Bayern Munich preparing for the Champions League quarter-finals next week - Bayern Munich has made a rotation, Alaba is slightly injured in the defense and is absent. Stavo played as a left back in this game.

In the midfield, Martinez, who will be suspended against Juventus, partners with Bastian Schweinsteiger, Robben and Shaqiri start, Ribery comes on the bench, and veteran Pizarro serves as the single arrow on the front line. Mandzukic comes on as substitute.

Just like that, Bayern Munich scored nine goals. Veteran Pizarro scored four goals and assisted two goals in the game. He is the first person in the history of the Bundesliga to score four goals and assist two in one game.

In addition to Pizarro, Robben scored twice in this game, and Shaqiri, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Ribery each scored one goal. This kind of offensive power is simply terrifying.

The score of 9:2 also allowed Bayern Munich to tie the record for the largest single-game goal difference in the Bundesliga since the new century. The previous record was also created by Bayern Munich itself - in the 2011-2012 season, Bayern Munich defeated Freiburg 7-0 at home. There was also a person who completed the fourth goal in that game, and that was Bayern Munich center Mario Go. Max.

But in fact, that game in the 2011-2012 season was not the first time that Bayern Munich beat its opponent by seven goals in the new century. Another season earlier, in the 2010-2011 season, Bayern Munich beat St. Pauli 8:1 on the field. Gomez completed a hat trick in the game.

Bayern Munich will cause a tragedy almost every season.

However, compared with the previous two tragedies, Bayern Munich scored nine goals in this game, which was the game with the most goals. So it can be called the tragedy of the century.

Compared with Dortmund's controversial victory, Bayern Munich's performance was impeccable and flawless, as dazzling as the sun in the sky.

The Munich media excitedly declared after the game: This is a championship-level performance!

No team can stop Jupp Heynckes' team this season!

Bayern Munich uses its strength to crush its opponents, and the league championship is within easy reach!

Heynckes' team will continue to dominate the league!

Just looking at these titles, if you don’t understand the current situation of the Bundesliga at all, you will definitely think that Bayern Munich has won the league seven rounds ahead of schedule, setting a new European League record... (To be continued.)
