I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 141 A must-win duel!
On the morning of the flight to Munich, Guardiola called Zhao Jinge, who was recovering from training, to his office alone.

"Zhao, how do you feel? Is your leg still hurting now?"

Guardiola is very concerned about Zhao Jinge's injury, although he knows in his heart that such a flaw is not a big problem,

But for the player he relies on the most at present, Guagua still asks Zhao Jinge how he feels after being injured every day.

Guardiola has already regarded Zhao Jinge as the biggest guarantee to start his second career.

The second Messi, this is a gift from God!

"I'm good boss, I can't wait to score goals at the Allianz Arena."

Zhao Jinge returned to the team for training two days ago. I don't know if it was due to the blessing of the system. He recovered very quickly. As of today, his body has completely recovered to the state before the injury.

Judging from the feedback in the two days of training, Zhao Jinge performed very well in training after his return.

In Zhao Jinge's own opinion, his minor illness was nothing at all. Although the pain was severe at the time, there was no major injury.

After a full rest, after two days of resuming training, the whole person looks very energetic, and his condition is getting better and better. It has been more than a week since he played a formal game, and Zhao Jinge is full of enthusiasm for the game. fighting spirit.

"It looks like you're recovering well, which is great!"

Guardiola first motioned Zhao Jinge to sit down first, and then poured him another glass of water.

"Zhao, I came to you today just to talk about the game against Bayern. I hope you can come off the bench in the game!"

Guardiola got straight to the point and stated his decision.

"Substitute?"

After hearing Guardiola's decision, Zhao Jinge reacted greatly for a while.

After coming to Manchester City for more than half a season, Zhao Jinge has regarded himself as the backbone of the team's striker.
If it is an ordinary game, he will accept Guardiola's suggestion to rotate or come off the bench, but this is a strong duel with Bayern Munich in the Champions League knockout round!

Of course, Zhao Jinge would not be willing to give up the starting position easily, and in his opinion, it was not because of his arrogance, but if the current Manchester City striker lacked him, he might not be able to play against the Bundesliga South King.

"Boss, why did you make me a substitute all of a sudden? Are you worried about my health? The team doctor has checked me this morning, and my health is top-notch now! I can definitely play the entire game!"

Zhao Jinge questioned Guardiola's decision. For such a game that related to the fate of the team, he would never allow himself to sit on the bench and watch his teammates desperately.

"Calm down, Zhao! I know your body has returned to health. I am going to substitute you because of tactical needs. Listen to my explanation first!"

For Zhao Jinge's reaction, Guardiola had expected it a long time ago. It is indeed a tactical need for him to make his striker a pillar and substitute:
"Zhao, you know, if we want to successfully take away the victory from the Allianz Arena, we must rely on the offense from the wing. Their two fullbacks and even the winger are the focus of our attack."

"Although their wide players, old and young, are quite different from the strength of previous years, you cannot deny that they still have the best strength in Europe."

"So I want to use you as a sharp knife on our bench. I will let Mane continue to attack the side of Robben and Ram from the beginning of the game. He does not hesitate to attack physically and consume Bayern's right side as much as possible. Physical reserve and status.

When there is half an hour left in the second half, you will be sent on the field with plenty of energy to finalize the whole game. "

"Although Robben and Lahm are old, they can definitely perform at the top level in the first hour of the game when they are physically fit. Stop your attack!"

"The last reason is that you have just experienced your first injury. I want to be more cautious in using you."

After listening to Guardiola's explanation, Zhao Jinge finally understood the head coach's thoughts and tactical intentions.

Just let him substitute, which is somewhat unacceptable:

"Boss, I understand what you mean, but let me play the first half, I can definitely play the role you said in the second half, you believe me! Even in the first half, Bayern's wide players will definitely not be able to stop me! "

Zhao Jinge still wants to start, if not, who wants to play as a substitute?And Zhao Jinge believes that with his current physical reserves, he will not have any problems kicking from start to finish.

"I understand, and I sure believe you can do it."

Guardiola understands Zhao Jinge's desire to start, but tactically speaking, letting him substitute is the best choice:

"Zhao, do you believe me? Ancelotti has been using a relatively conservative four-two-three formation in this year's games against strong teams.

According to his usual practice in the game, Ancelotti will adopt more cautious tactics in this game. Bayern Munich is definitely a hard nut to crack when the opponent is physically strong, and the game is likely to become a continuous tug of war . "

"Zhao, I don't want to waste your energy on the endless tug-of-war! According to the news I got from Germany, both Robben and Ribery are healthy!
These two veterans Ancelotti is very likely to only play Robben and Lahm to form a strong side, and then use two young people to consume us on the other side, and finally use Ribery, his killer!

Ancelotti is a master tactician. He will definitely make targeted tactics for this game, but Bayern's current lineup is aging, so he can only use such a veteran as an assaulter after hand-to-hand combat. "

Having said that, Guardiola stood up and walked to Zhao Jinge's side and patted him on the shoulder:

"Zhao, I am different from Ancelotti, he can only use Ribery who has entered the end of his career, and what I can rely on is you who have become one of the best players on the planet!"

Zhao Jinge looked at Guardiola who was looking down at him. He could see his sincerity and seriousness from the head coach.

Although he played as a substitute, Guardiola gave him the highest tactical weight, and it can be said that he put all the hopes of winning on himself.

"You are the team's best scorer. At the critical moment, you will play as the team's winner, and I believe you will definitely not let me down, and you will not let this team down. United Stadium won, do you understand? Zhao!"

After Guardiola finished speaking, he stared at Zhao Jinge's face with calm eyes, waiting for the disciple's answer.

To be honest, if this person was not Zhao Jinge, Guardiola might not have given so many explanations for other Manchester City players.

He is Guardiola!One of the most successful coaches on the planet!Ordinary players must obey his orders unconditionally!There are only a few exceptions.

It is precisely because he attaches great importance to Zhao Jinge's feelings that Gua Shuai will explain his tactical ideas to Zhao Jinge from beginning to end, so as to eliminate any possibility that Zhao Jinge, a young man, will have conflicts with himself.

"Boss, I know what you're thinking, if you think we're more likely to win this game, then I can substitute.

I believe in you, you will lead us to victory! "

Zhao Jinge finally decided to follow Guardiola's arrangement. In fact, he still felt that he could perform satisfactorily throughout the game.

However, Guardiola's tactics are indeed very feasible. According to his pre-match arrangement, it can indeed increase Manchester City's possibility of winning.

As long as he can beat Bayern Munich, Zhao Jinge is of course willing to accept a substitute, just a substitute for a game. In order to win, Zhao Jinge will not care about this grievance.

After having lunch at noon that day, the Manchester City team took a bus to Manchester Airport and boarded a flight to Munich.

After several hours of flying, the Manchester City team arrived at Munich International Airport, 28 kilometers northeast of Munich, Germany, near the evening of the afternoon.

Surprisingly, a small group of Manchester City fans who arrived in Germany in advance took the initiative to pick up the plane, which made the Manchester City players feel very excited after the long flight.

It is really a very rare thing to have fans come to pick up the plane in a foreign country, which directly improves the morale of the whole team, at least these lovely fans cannot be disappointed.

After taking the bus prepared in advance to the hotel where he was staying, Guardiola immediately rushed to the Allianz Stadium and participated in the pre-match press conference held that night.

At the press conference, Guardiola announced Manchester City's 18-man squad, almost all of Manchester City's main players are included in the squad,
As for who will start, Guardiola did not announce on the spot. Before the deadline set before the game, Gua Shuai will definitely not announce his starting in advance.

He also wanted to rely on Zhao Jinge's injured smoke bomb to see if he could cheat the honest man Ancelotti, at least to cover up his tactical intentions.

When interviewed by media reporters, the question that many media are most concerned about is whether Zhao Jinge will play in this game.

In this regard, Guardiola has always emphasized that Zhao Jinge is currently recovering well, but whether he can play or not depends on his performance in training tomorrow.

When a reporter asked Guardiola how he viewed the game, Guardiola said he believed it would be a wonderful game, because Bayern Munich is the strongest team in the Bundesliga and Manchester City is the strongest team in the Premier League.

"This will be a contest between the two strongest teams in their respective leagues! This represents a collision of the highest level between the Bundesliga and the Premier League!

Both teams have a luxurious lineup composed of a large number of top stars, and Carroll is also one of the greatest head coaches in the world, so I believe this is definitely an exciting contest. "

When some reporters asked Guardiola how he saw himself playing against his old club again?Will City suffer yet another defeat at the Allianz Arena, as they did at Camp Nou?When such a problem.

Guardiola's answer was full of his own confidence:
"You know, this year, Manchester City has invested a huge amount of money. For Manchester City, it is not enough to win the Premier League.
We must make a breakthrough in the Champions League, we must break through the history of the team and enter the quarter-finals!This is what we have to do this season! "

"If we can't do it, then our huge investment in this year will be a failed investment! It will lose everything!
So we came to Munich with the belief that we must win! "

"Bayern Munich is a great team and I had the honor of coaching here for two years,
But this also makes me very familiar with this team. I believe that Manchester City now has enough strength to compete with Bayern!

It will be very difficult, but we must do it! "

Just today, Bayern chairman Hoeness said in an interview with Bild that Bayern is strong enough this season. Not only are they far ahead in the Bundesliga, but they also double-killed Juventus, the current Serie A class bully, in the Champions League group stage. Tooth.

For Manchester City, who qualified second in the group, the chairman of Bayern, who has always said some shocking words, is still outspoken:

"Our Bayern team is a team with an excellent tradition, we have an amazing historical background and strong comprehensive strength.

Compared with some teams that have risen by relying on Jinyuan football in recent years, Bayern undoubtedly has a clear advantage.

Manchester City, I'm talking about Manchester City, Pep didn't do well at Bayern, he was a nightmare performance last season, so he was dismissed from Bayern.

This season he went to Manchester City.

Although they spent a lot of money, as a team that has never reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, I don't think they will pose any threat to Bayern!
Tomorrow will be an easy win! "

Yes, Hoeness used such words as easy to describe tomorrow's match with Manchester City.

In his view, Bayern's victory over Guardiola's Manchester City is a matter of course.

When a reporter showed Hoeness's speech to Guardiola.

In this regard, Gua Shuai certainly does not agree.

For this Bayern's first, his second chairman, Gua Shuai naturally released harsh words:

"Let's wait and see! Who will be the real winner."

Guardiola replied confidently.

The next day, Guardiola's press conference speech spread throughout Europe.

After learning of Guardiola's harsh words, Bayern Chairman Hoeness quickly responded:
"Maybe my choice of words is not good enough, but Guardiola did a mess last season. I don't believe he will improve significantly at Manchester City. We will win this game!"

The announcement between the chairman of Bayern and the head coach of Manchester City attracted the attention of the whole world, and everyone was looking forward to the wonderful match that night!
