Chapter 864 Tactics to Kill Dong

"horrible,"

"This Inter Milan..."

In his hotel in Milan, Van Gaal has been thinking about how the team will deal with Inter Milan for the past few days, and has repeatedly watched the video of Inter Milan's games.

In order to inspect Inter Milan, he flew to Milan after finishing the league game on Saturday.

Seeing Inter Milan easily win over Juventus in Turin made him feel that Bayern Munich's away trip was worrying.

Everyone knows that Inter Milan is powerful, but if you don't watch the game at the scene, you don't know how terrifying it is.

Throughout the 90 minutes of the game, Inter Milan has been suppressing Juventus. Even if they don't beat Juventus with more, Inter Milan will always be like this.

Bayern Munich will face them the day after tomorrow.

Perhaps Bayern Munich's only advantage is physical fitness?

He could only comfort himself like this.

"Dong,"

"How to guard against him?"

He often talks to himself and thinks about Dong Fangzhuo.

"And Sneijder, Milito, even Balotelli."

It's not just Dong Fangzhuo that gives him a headache, it's the entire Inter Milan offensive system.

If there is any consolation for Van Gaal, it is that the defending champion was never able to win the title the following year...

And this is exactly what Inter Milan wants to change.

The last time this was done was AC Milan. It happened at the Prater Stadium in Vienna in 1990. The Rossoneri defeated Benfica 1:0 with Rijkaard's goal, successfully defending the championship and becoming the last to win the championship so far. A team that successfully defended its title in the Champions League. After the UEFA Champions League was restructured in 1992 and the qualifications were awarded to non-league champion teams, the difficulty of defending the title instantly increased. So far, no team has been able to win the championship for two consecutive years despite being flanked by many powerful players.

In fact, in the past 20 years, the Champions League has lacked not only the defending champion, but even the opportunity to defend the title has rarely appeared. AC Milan did it in the 1994-1995 season. They won the championship after beating Barcelona 4:0 the previous year, but the next year they failed to fulfill Louis van Gaal's Ajax youth team in the final. The following year, Ajax lost on penalties to Juventus in the final. In the third year, Juventus lost to Dortmund in the final. After three consecutive years, the next team that got a chance to defend the title was Inter Milan last season.

Now, Inter Milan has the opportunity to become the fifth team in 20 years to challenge the almost impossible task of defending the Champions League title. According to Mourinho, reaching the semi-finals means there is a 25% chance of winning the championship. As long as they can get past Bayern Munich, as long as they can appear in the final, the possibility of Inter Milan successfully defending the title is definitely more than 50%. Regardless of whether the opponent is Barcelona or Real Madrid. In a game that determines the outcome in 90 minutes, after excluding the factors of home and away, and with equal luck, it can be said realistically that no team in today's football has a greater chance of winning than Inter Milan. However, after entering this stage, the outcome of the game can no longer be simply measured by strength. If Inter Milan wants to become the first defending champion after the Champions League restructuring, in addition to their own efforts, Inter Milan also needs a little luck.

For the first leg of the semi-finals, Bayern celebrities came out to support Bayern Munich.

Former coach Heynckes believes: "Bayern represents German football in Europe. In the two-leg match against Manchester United, their performance was worthy of a place in the top four, especially the confidence the team showed, which is even more commendable. Bayern We are currently in a very good situation, and we have all seen it. They recently doubled Schalke, and this is what Bayern should be like."

Heynckes said: "Chance to win the championship? Why can't Bayern win the championship? I think they have a chance this season. They will not be at a disadvantage in the two games against Inter Milan, and the final will be determined by a single game. Everything is determined. It can happen."

The Bayern Munich captain also expressed his opinion: "We are now at the top of the league.

We have also reached the finals of the German Cup and the semi-finals of the Champions League, but so far we have not been able to get anything. I must warn my teammates that now we must be wary of Inter Milan, which is the most terrifying team in Europe. opponent. But when people’s attention is focused on Inter Milan, we actually also have the opportunity to win the Triple Crown. I believe everyone is familiar with the truth that a hot favorite will die..."

"At Bayern you have to give it your all," Van Bommel said. The pursuit of perfection is the spirit that Bayern has always maintained under the leadership of senior leaders such as Rummenigge and Hoeness. "Everyone can feel the spirit of this club. It's a sense of superiority emanating from incredible confidence. It's unique here, unlike other clubs, and I'm attracted to Bayern's desire to succeed. It's not about letting Where a player learns, he must come to Munich ready to fight."

Sagnol said: "The only one who can beat Bayern is themselves. I think Bayern is the favorite to advance, but the Champions League is always full of dangers and variables. Bayern has an iron-blooded style that other teams do not have. Bayern is not afraid of any technically superior team."

When reporters mentioned that Bayern might win the Triple Crown this season, coach Van Gaal joked: "If that happens, I will leave Munich immediately. Obviously, I can no longer make the team better. But for now, we have to wait and see.”

But there are still people who are calm, such as Robben.

After scoring a hat-trick against Hannover and assisting his teammates to score a goal, Robben once again conquered the German media. After the game, people were intoxicated by his dream performance and even compared him to Dong Fangzhuo, who was killing everyone. However, The humble Robben said in an interview after the game: "Obviously, Dong is better than me."

He has also played the role of Bayern's key man more than once, but Robben is still unwilling to be too high-profile: "I have just made some progress. We have to see that there are many great players in the world, such as Ronaldo and Messi. But Dong is undoubtedly a star of another level, he can be said to be a lone front-runner." Robben praised.

"But we must go all out for Wednesday's showdown with Inter Milan, because football is a sport of 11 people after all, and we cannot be timid just because Inter Milan has a great star like Dong."

"Everyone told me that a player's best period is when he is 25 or 26 years old. I feel it is a very good time now. But we haven't achieved anything yet! I hope to win championships, preferably three. come together."

Bayern Munich is sharpening their skills and seems to want to take the Inter Milan flag.

Just at this time, something unexpected happened in Europe. The Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland erupted. The high-altitude volcanic ash formed after the volcanic eruption gradually spread over the European continent after the wind direction in northwest Europe changed, causing a large-scale suspension of European flights, and the airspace of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries was closed for a long time , which has also had a huge impact on football.

The suspension of air transportation has forced teams participating in the European war to choose land transportation, and UEFA's decision is almost unkind. Since this year's World Cup cannot delay the event, they announced the first legs of the Champions League and Europa League semi-finals. The game went on as scheduled.

This resulted in Bayern Munich, who was a guest in the first round, having to travel a long distance to Inter Milan's home court. The road distance between Munich and Milan is more than 400 kilometers. The Bayern team took a bus and traveled for about 5 hours before arriving in Milan. Originally the straight-line distance was only 350 kilometers and it only took half an hour to fly, but it ended up taking so long.

However, Bayern's senior management was stingy and only went to Milan on the day of the game. This worried Van Gaal, who had been waiting in Milan for a long time. At the pre-match press conference, he rarely got angry and blasted the club.

"A club that aims to win the Champions League is reluctant to spend money at the most critical time. It is really unreasonable!"

“This was a pretty bad trip!”

"Although the five-hour journey is not very long, it still leaves the team members in a bad state. I can no longer let my team members do adaptive training. I need to let them have a good rest for an afternoon!"

Inter Milan is naturally waiting for work, and this time it fully enjoys the home court advantage.

Van Gaal suppressed the anger in his heart and continued his press conference, but his mind was not on the press conference at all. Bayern Munich fans also expressed concerns about the team. They are not as optimistic as Bayern soldiers.

"How to defend against Chinese Dong?"

Fans who experienced Manchester United's 7:1 massacre of Bayern Munich have offered suggestions online.

"I think if we do four things, we can keep Chinese Dong away from scoring goals. These are what we can learn from Mourinho."

"One of the methods: the "counter-attack tactic". Use one player to stare at the Chinese Dong throughout the game and do not need to assume the responsibility of regional defense. However, with Bayern's current personnel configuration, if you want to find a player on the defense who can counter the Chinese Dong, It’s a bit difficult for people.”

"Method Two: "Blocking Space Tactics." The entire team blocked the backcourt space, allowing the Chinese Dong to pass one person but not two.

"Method three: "Separation tactics." That is, pay attention to sealing off the connection between Chinese Dong and his teammates and isolating them. But this method is also very troublesome, because Chinese Dong is definitely the kind of person who can go straight to the Yellow Dragon alone. player of!"

"The fourth method: "logging tactics". That is, using rough fouls and taking turns to invade to contain the Chinese Dong. I think the fourth method is more practical."

"Of course, the combination of these four methods is the most effective."

"In fact, Inter Milan also faces the problem of how to defend Robben, right?"

As for Inter Milan’s reaction? Just as "Gazzetta dello Sport" reporter Cerutti shouted in a front-page editorial: "Bayern come here! This Inter Milan, which has the color of European war, flattened Stamford Bridge and conquered Moscow, is not afraid of anyone. "

Kings do not need to shout and kill every day, because they only need to use actions to tell their opponents that they are the most powerful...
