Chapter 65 The Bundesliga giant is coming
Before the game against Bayern, Lin Quan received a call from Guardiola.
October 1st was the day of his and Sera's wedding, and he needed to confirm when Lin Quan would return.
"After the game against Bayern, if there is a flight in the evening, I will fly there directly. You don't need to come to pick me up. I will just ask someone for the way out!"
After hearing Lin Quan's arrangement, Guardiola thought for a moment and advised:
"Then you should come back on the morning of the 30th. The public security situation in Catalonia is not good. I'm worried that you will be in danger if you come back at night!"
Lin Quan thought about it for a moment. The unemployment rate in Spain is very high, and there are separatists making trouble in Catalonia. It is indeed quite dangerous at night.
So he followed the good advice and accepted Guardiola's proposal.
"How about it? We're about to play Bayern. Are you confident you can beat them?"
After chatting about life matters, the two naturally talked about football-related topics.
This match between Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich has attracted much attention not only in the Bundesliga, but also in Spain and even throughout Europe.
In the entire five major leagues, there are currently only two teams that maintain a winning streak: Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
Coincidentally, the strength of these two teams is also at the top level in European football. The two teams have a large number of fans, so they have aroused widespread discussion on the Internet.
Everyone is curious, which of these two teams can maintain a longer winning streak, and who will be ended faster?
"To be honest, I don't have much confidence. Although the coach has arranged some targeted tactics, we may not be able to play those things when we encounter a top team like Bayern."
The overall strength gap between Werder Bremen and Bayern is huge, and Lin Quan does not believe that he can erase the huge gap between the two teams with his own personal strength.
Football is not a sport for one person, but a sport for eleven people. If there is a problem in any link, the team will lose.
And Bayern in the 2012-2013 season?
Can you find his flaws?
Lin Quan doesn't think he has such a vision. He feels that Bayern this season is undoubtedly the strongest team in football today.
How can a team that can sweep Juventus 4:0 and massacre Cosmos Barcelona 7:0 be an easy one?
"Well, it's good to be able to recognize the reality and not be blindly arrogant just because we played a few good games."
On the other end of the phone, Guardiola smiled happily when he heard Lin Quan's words.
"However, Bayern is not invincible."
Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, then quickly cheered up and listened carefully to the lecture.
After a few minutes, Guardiola hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone in his hand, he shook his head and laughed.
Brat, I can only help you so far. Whether you can create a miracle depends on your own performance!
On the other side, Lin Quan also fell into deep thought after putting down the phone.
As a time traveler, he certainly knew that Bayern Munich hired Guardiola as Bayern head coach after Heynckes retired.
But he didn't expect the contact between the two sides to be so early, and Guardiola had so much knowledge of the situation within the Bayern team.
I'm afraid, both parties have already signed a contract of intention in private.
To be honest, Guardiola's coaching at Bayern was not a success.
Heynckes' Bayern has achieved the ultimate, but Guardiola's radical reforms did not achieve better results based on Heynckes. Instead, they destroyed the original super lineup and allowed Bayern to win in the Champions League. His performance declined severely and he failed to create a new dynasty.
Thinking of this, Lin Quan sighed.
Forget it, let Bayern be Bayern. At worst, I can go over and help him and save him from being scolded!
…
On September 29, the much-anticipated sixth round of the Bundesliga officially started.
At 15:30 in the afternoon, Werder Bremen, ranked third in the league, played at home against Bayern Munich, ranked first in the league.
This is the most watched game in this round of Bundesliga matches. Many media, including German TV 1 and German Sports TV, chose to broadcast the game live.
The huge Weser Stadium was packed with seats, and all 50,000 tickets were sold out as early as the day before the game.
Among the 50,000 spectators at the scene, there were 45,000 Werder Bremen fans and 5,000 Bayern Munich fans who traveled with the team.
The huge stadium seemed to have turned into a sea of green. Werder Bremen fans used loud singing to suppress the cheers of Bayern Munich fans.
"These noisy crows, do they think they can win by being louder?"
"Don't worry, our team will definitely humiliate them on the field!"
"Yes, today we not only want to win the game, but also beat their goal into a sieve!"
"Haha, with Werder Bremen's defense level, our powerful attacking group can score at least five goals today!"
Although the Bayern fans were suppressed in terms of momentum, they were not panicked at all.
They all feel that their team can win the game and do it with a big score.
After all, the two teams are completely different in terms of their hard power and recent state in the league.
In the predictions of major experts before the game, everyone was optimistic about Bayern Munich, which further deepened their confidence.
In the commentary box at the game, the famous German football commentator Beckmann took advantage of his free time before the game started to chat with several invited guests.
Because today is the match between Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich, the TV station invited celebrities from both teams to serve as commentators.
Werder Bremen received an invitation from the legendary captain Marco Bode. He was once the top scorer in Werder Bremen’s team history. He played for Werder Bremen for thirteen seasons and finally won the Werder Bremen hung up his boots and was one of the representatives of that era who only played for one team in his life.
The one Bayern received an invitation from was Gerd Muller, the current world record holder, the top scorer in Bayern Munich's history, and known as the Golden Bomber.
Gerd Muller is a legend in German football and is relatively old, so Beckman first asked him what he thought of this game:
"There is no doubt that Bayern Munich will win this game. The only suspense is, how many can they win?"
Gerd Muller said it with peace of mind, and seemed not to think there was anything wrong with his statement at all.
Of course Marco is not happy. Although he respects the opponent as a veteran in football, he cannot let the opponent be so presumptuous and demean his home team in his home stadium!
"I disagree with Mr. Gerd Muller's statement that football is round and no matter how strong a team is, it cannot guarantee a 100% victory over its opponents.
Although there is a strength gap between Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich, they are not completely without a chance of winning.
This is the Weser Stadium, and I believe the boys from Werder Bremen can create miracles at their home court! "
Beckman could hear Marco's guilt, after all, he even used the word 'miracle'.
He knows that many viewers are not Bayern Munich fans, and ordinary people like to watch stories of the weak defeating the strong.
So he gave Marco some advice:
"Marco is right. Werder Bremen are ranked third in the Bundesliga this season and have only lost one game in five rounds. Their midfield and frontcourt capabilities should not be underestimated, especially De Bruyne and Lin Quan. These two young players have already contributed a lot of wonderful cooperation and goals to everyone!"
"Moreover, Werder Bremen defeated Bayern Munich in the Telecom Cup more than a month ago, which shows that Bayern Munich is not invincible!"
Gerd Muller shrugged: "For a giant like Bayern, the Telecom Cup is just a warm-up match for training.
In addition to losing to Werder Bremen this year, they have also often lost in the past few Telecom Cups and have not even won a championship until now. This is enough to show that they do not take this event seriously. "
“Therefore, I think it’s unconvincing to take the Telecom Cup competition as an example!”
What Gerd Muller said was reasonable, and neither of them could find a reason to refute it.
But he suddenly changed the topic and said:
"But Werder Bremen's No. 10 player is indeed a young man with great potential. If Bayern's defense takes it lightly, he might score a goal."
Gerd Muller has long noticed this young player who has recently emerged from Werder Bremen. He appreciates Lin Quan's talent very much and has praised Lin Quan many times in front of reporters.
However, every time after he praised Lin Quan, he would say:
"An outstanding young player like him should come to Bayern Munich to play. This is the best destination for him!"
Just like what he said when he recruited Messi when he broke his historical record.
This guy always wants to lure the best players to the Allianz Arena!
