Champion’s Heart

Before the game, the two sides had already started a war of words.

Uli Hoeness, the chairman of Bayern Munich, publicly criticized the Bundesliga schedule: We have just finished playing in Barcelona, ​​and we have to rush back to Germany non-stop. After a day of rest at home, we have to rush to Dortmund non-stop. There are only two days! The team doesn't get a good rest at all, and the players are very tired. On the other hand, Dortmund, in the Champions League, they played one day earlier than us, so they don't have to move after returning home, and they can just wait and work at their home court... …I really don’t understand why there is such a bad schedule. Why can’t our game with Dortmund be moved back one day, why can Hamburg and Wolfsburg be played on the night of May 5th, And we have to be on the night of May 4th? Will Hamburg and Wolfsburg participate in the Champions League? Can’t the league arrange the schedule flexibly and make temporary adjustments for special circumstances?”

To be honest, Hoeness's complaint is valid. Bayern Munich will challenge Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals on the night of May 1st. After the game, Bayern Munich will immediately take a connecting flight back to Munich. When they arrive in Munich, it will be the early morning of May 2nd.

Then the team was disbanded on the spot, but the players could only rest for half a day. On the afternoon of May 2, the team had to gather for training.

On May 3rd, they will take a flight to Dortmund as a team to prepare for the game on the evening of May 4th. They cannot go too late because they only have time on the evening of May 3rd to conduct acclimatization training on the field. The game will be held on the evening of May 4th.

During this period, the Bayern Munich team was indeed non-stop, flying from Munich to Barcelona, ​​Barcelona to Munich, and then from Munich to Dortmund. Flying three times to three places in four days, let alone professional players who have high physical requirements, even ordinary people are exhausted after such a tossing, and the Bayern Munich players have to face a game soon. High-intensity important games.

Hoeness was complaining about the official Bundesliga schedule, but he was still teasing Dortmund. Dortmund general manager Zorc naturally would not pretend not to hear it. He jumped out and retorted: Hoeness complained. The schedule is too intensive? Then why didn't he say that between the two Champions League semi-finals, they had one more day of rest than us? Dortmund didn't complain about UEFA's schedule when they played in the Champions League semi-finals. Why did they get to Bayern? For Munich, the ordinary schedule has become an unacceptable bad arrangement? I understand, Hoeness must have made excuses for Bayern Munich's failure in advance. If Bayern Munich loses to Dortmund in the away game, then this The blame can be completely thrown to the Bundesliga officials...

Moreover, it was also the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. We encountered a tenacious resistance from Real Madrid in the away game. We fought very hard until the last moment and exhausted all our energy. And what about Bayern Munich? Facing a team away from home. The opponent who had no fighting spirit won without a fight. They even made substitutions in advance in order to prepare for the game with us. I don't believe it when they say that they spent all their energy in this game.

This is no different from a warm-up match within the team!

Zorc not only scolded Barcelona, ​​but also mocked Barcelona...

The two teams quarreled, and other teams took advantage of them. Hamburg and Wolfsburg expressed aggrievedly, Do you blame me for not being able to participate in the Champions League?

Real Madrid and Barcelona were beaten again...

Fortunately, the Spanish media no longer cares about what happens in Germany, otherwise there would definitely be a cross-border war of words.

There are constant quarrels among the club's top brass, and at the player level, the spat is no less intense.

Bayern Munich center back Van Buyten said in an interview that the advantage now lies with Bayern Munich: We are two points ahead and we have a psychological advantage, so as long as we draw this game, we will win.

Regarding Van Buyten's remarks, Zhou Yi, the core of Dortmund, responded this way: Does he (Van Buyten) really think so?

After getting the reporter's affirmative answer, Zhou Yi made a relieved expression and movement, and then said with a smile: Then I'm relieved. Because based on my experience, I think a tie can be anything. Anyway, it is often the most dangerous time, and this Van Buyten stands up very well.

After he finished speaking, the Chinese reporters who interviewed him laughed. The German reporters may still be a little confused, but the Chinese reporters really understood the meaning of Zhou Yi's words.

In the history of Chinese football, there have been too many examples of whatever happens if it's a draw, but in the end everything backfired.

So much so that a draw means qualifying has become a curse in Chinese football.

Zhou Yi said this not only to express his confidence in defeating Bayern Munich, but also to be self-deprecating, so that his attitude would not be so arrogant and annoying. This is also a characteristic of Zhou Yi. Even if he attacks others, he will still make people feel cute.

Zhou Yi's war of words was relatively gentle, but the other players were tit-for-tat, and the atmosphere was very explosive.

Bayern Munich captain Lahm also agreed with Hoeness's point of view in an interview, believing that the schedule is really unfavorable to them.

In this regard, Dortmund player Grosskreutz ridiculed Lahm for being like a woman: As a professional player, complaining about the schedule is really not manly enough in my opinion. The schedule is fair and anyone can have a schedule. What should I do when things don’t go as I want? Does everyone have to change the schedule when they don’t go as they want? Today Bayern Munich can request to modify the schedule, but tomorrow other teams can. In this way, won’t the entire league be in chaos? ?”

In response to Grosskreutz's ridicule of the Bayern Munich captain, Schweinsteiger hit back: Dortmund players had better not come out and talk nonsense. They are obviously the beneficiaries of the schedule. We are just fighting for our own Reasonable interests.”

Piszczek sarcastically said: This is the first time I have seen the league leaders care so much about a small thing. It seems that they also know very well that facing us at the West End Stadium is a very scary thing.

Kuba said: If I were a Bayern Munich player, I would shut up during this period, rest and train, instead of complaining about insufficient rest time and spending my rest time in the media.

Some Bayern Munich players also expressed confidence. For example, Franck Ribery believed that they would win on the away road: There is nothing more exciting than defeating an archenemy on the road to win the league championship!

Reus responded: There is nothing more exciting than beating a bitter enemy at home to win the league title.

Of course, in the war of words, Mario Gotze is a name that no one can avoid.

Before the game, the Dortmund media wrote an article criticizing Bayern Munich's behavior of poaching his team everywhere as an act that damages the competitiveness of the entire Bundesliga and the entire German football.

...Hoeness invented a trick, that is, against opponents who cannot win on the court, they can use money to win the opponent in the transfer market and poach the opponent's core players, which not only strengthens their own strength, but also weakens them. Competitors, it’s really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.” The Dortmund media sarcastically said.

Some public opinion believes that before Dortmund's home game against Real Madrid, the news that Gotze was about to transfer to Bayern Munich was a long-planned move by Bayern Munich officials, aiming to interfere with Dortmund's preparations for the Champions League semi-finals and shake Dortmund's military morale. In fact, Dortmund's military morale has indeed been shaken. If the Dortmund team had not burst out with huge energy at the last moment and stabilized the military morale under the leadership of Klopp, otherwise the final result would have been hard to say...

Regarding this statement, Bayern Munich's media resolutely refuted: ...I would like to remind Dortmund, who has always talked nonsense, that it was not our Munich that announced this news at the official level first, but it was your Dortmund. Finally It was not our Munich media and reporters who broke the news first... It is nonsense to say that Bayern Munich did this to attack Dortmund. You must know that after this matter was suddenly exposed, Bayern Munich was also caught off guard...

Now the Dortmund media has started to hype Gotze's transfer again, just to find reasons for their subsequent failure. To turn all hatred towards Bayern Munich. I think there is a very bad trend in Germany, that is, unscrupulous Stigmatizing Bayern Munich... Dortmund believes that Bayern Munich's poaching has harmed the interests of German football, but in fact it is Dortmund themselves who are poaching!

...The Dortmund media are always used to bragging about their youth training capabilities, as if the Dortmund first team are all people trained by their youth academy. Don't talk about Reus and Grosskreutz, according to UEFA's definition , players who have been registered with the club for three seasons between the ages of fifteen and twenty-one are youth players trained by the club. Both Royce and Grosskreutz played in the Red and White Allen. Who threw them to the regional league teams like garbage? Don't mention Zhou Yi. He didn't receive professional training at all before he was seventeen years old. His experience in the Dortmund youth team was more like a transition to join the first team. , His current achievements have nothing to do with the training of Dortmund’s youth training team...

...Sven Bender was recruited by Dortmund from Munich 1860, Gundogan was recruited from Nuremberg, and Subotic was recruited from Mainz... Even the veteran Kyle and Weiden Feiler was also recruited from Freiburg and Kaiserslautern... He said all day long that he was cultivating youth training, and then he was stolen by Bayern Munich, but he didn't look in the mirror and examine himself...

Munich's media counterattack was very sharp, and they all got to the point. In fact, Dortmund, like Bayern Munich, has to poach people from various teams to form its own first team. But this is actually a very normal transfer behavior. It's just that there will be different interpretations from respective standpoints.

During the war of words, some media went to interview Gotze and asked him if he had mixed emotions about the upcoming game.

Gotze shook his head: No. I am now a Dortmund player, and my task and goal is to help Dortmund win the championship. Let's talk about my matter with Bayern Munich next season.

He is still confident in saying this now. In the two rounds against Real Madrid, he assisted a goal, scored a goal, and also created a penalty kick. He is said to be a major contributor to Real Madrid entering the Champions League final. , I believe there will be no objection.

Klopp refused to discuss topics related to Gotze: Gotze is still my player. What do you want me to say?

Grosskreutz was unwilling to talk about Gotze during the interview, but his starting point was not to get Gotze out of this public opinion storm, but he did not bother to mention Gotze's name: Don't mention that to me. People’s names.”

As a good friend of Gotze, Reus will naturally not be let go by the media at this time. He is relatively gentle: Everyone has the right to choose. Gotze made his choice. As his friend, I All I can do is bless him. But I also believe in his work ethic and he will definitely try his best in the next game.

What does Zhou Yi think of the topic of Gotze?

It is Gotze's freedom to go wherever he goes, and no one can blame him for this. Of course, the timing of this news being exposed is indeed a bit... delicate, but this is not Gotze's responsibility. I think there is no need for everyone to grasp this point. Let go. Gotze himself definitely doesn’t want things to turn out like this, so he should turn his attention to the game. To be honest, let the managers do the transfer market, now it’s on the football field... …”

A reporter asked: Will you go to Bayern Munich one day?

Hearing this question, Zhou Yi laughed: How is it possible? I go to Bayern Munich to win the championship I won in Dortmund again? It doesn't make sense.

After saying that, he waved his hand, turned around and walked away. (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.com (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
