After defeating Vicenza with three goals in the away game and avenging their revenge on the league battlefield last season, Fiorentina immediately ushered in the Champions League group match with Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich in the following week.

This season is really bad for Bayern Munich. Although they got Ze Roberto and Frings in the summer transfer market, Fink, Thomas Link, Kufu The aging of the main players such as you has made the strength of this top giant drop sharply. They are no longer the top strong team that could compete with Fiorentina for the Big Ears Cup two years ago.

However, neither Bayern Munich's top management nor the players below have a clear understanding of this.In their view, Bayern is still the top European team that can lead Manchester United for most of the game, but only missed the championship trophy because they relaxed their vigilance at the last minute. The current decline in the Champions League is only because of the main players. Has not yet recovered from the fatigue brought about by the World Cup, coupled with a moment of carelessness, did not try a victory in the first two rounds of the group stage.

This kind of view is very popular among Bayern supporters. In the eyes of fans, this team with Elber, Sauer, Ze Roberto, Frings and many other famous players will definitely compete for the Champions League trophy. Strength, they will definitely be able to play their due demeanor in this match against Fiorentina, and use practical actions to justify themselves!

However, in the third round of the Champions League group stage, the Bayern fans who came to Munich's Olympiastadion to cheer for the home team can be said to have come in good spirits and returned in disappointment.Although Bayern players tried their best in the game, trying to take advantage of the home court to win their first victory in the Champions League this season, Fiorentina, who played all the main players, firmly grasped the field after the start of the game The initiative, from beginning to end did not give the home team any chance!

The 29-year-old Vieri turned Bayern's defense upside down with his strong body and the sprint ability not inferior to most speed forwards, and scored a goal in the No.13 and No.208 minutes of the game, helping Fiorentina early He quickly established a two-goal lead.And Vieri's strike partner and close friend Inzaghi also played well in this game, sealing the victory for the team with a goal, which fully demonstrated his power as a top shooter!

The icing on the cake for Fiorentina was Ballack, the current leader of the German national team. En's ten-finger pass expanded the score to four to zero!

Looking at the Bayern players who were suppressed by Fiorentina's fierce defensive counterattack and the almost breathless oppressive defense on the court, and the bloody 4:0 score on the big screen hanging above the court , Bayern fans sitting in the stands watching the game, and Bayern executives such as Hoeness and Rummenigge watching the game in the VIP box finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

"It turns out that the reason why the team performed so poorly in the Champions League this season is not just because of the aftereffects of the World Cup." Seeing that the goal guarded by Kahn was broken by Fiorentina for the fourth time, Hoeness Rubbing his chin, he analyzed with a pensive expression, "Karl (Rummenigge), I think we need to clean up the team next summer. Looking at the current performance of the team, it is obvious that It’s time to tear down and rebuild.”

"Well, you're right." Rummenigge nodded, agreeing with Hoeness's opinion, "From the current situation, most of the players who occupied the main positions in the team last season After the start of the new season, the state has declined very seriously. For example, in the current starting defense, the other three players except Kufuor and Sagnol are all veterans over 33 years old. Thomas Link And Oliver (Kahn) is 34 years old, Lizarazu is [-] years old, at this age, it is really beyond their ability to deal with the top strikers who are in their prime."

After thinking about it, Rummenigge added: "Besides, even Sagnol and Kufuor are not very safe in the defense. Although Kufuor was a defensive player in the past Titans, and his 26-year-old age can be regarded as the golden age among defenders. However, the early death of his beloved daughter in an accident this summer has completely destroyed his spirit. There has been a sharp decline since the start of the season, and there is still no sign of recovery so far. I suspect that Kufuor is likely to be depressed because of this, and he will never regain his peak state of the year, it should” (Note: Kufuor The daughter actually died in January 03, here the time has been advanced by more than three months due to plot needs.)

"And Torsten Fink and Michael Tannat. Seeing that Rummenigge started to think about the targets that need to be cleaned up next summer, Hoeness also brought up some players that he had already planned to send away." They are not too young, and they have already passed their peak in terms of status, so it is the best choice to send them away as soon as possible to make room for good seedlings with more potential."

As the German national team suffered disastrous defeats in the 98 World Cup and the 2000 European Cup, which greatly changed the tradition of reusing veteran players in most German clubs, many team managers began to change their thinking and increase the training of young players. Instead of blindly relying on veterans like before.People like Deisler, Claudio Pizarro, and Hargreaves all joined the Bundesliga Hollywood under such circumstances. However, if Bayern wants to truly realize the youth of the team, they still have to There is a long way to go.

"But fortunately, there is no strong enemy that can compete with us in the domestic arena this season." When it comes to things related to the league trophy, Rummenigge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Dortmund is fighting for the financial crisis. There was infighting, the players couldn't concentrate on the game at all, and the record dropped a lot. This season, they will definitely not be able to compete with us for the league championship. Leverkusen has been poached by you. They are still worried about relegation and don't care about making trouble for us. Other teams, such as Schalke 04, Werder Bremen and Stuttgart, are strong and have some good players, but they still can't compete with us. We're on par, so it's nothing to worry about."

"Well, as long as we can keep the league this season, that's fine. As for the Champions League, that's it for now, and we will be next year." As the general manager of Bayern Munich, Hoeness attaches more importance to the Bundesliga championship than Europe. arena.In his eyes, the league is the foundation of a club.Therefore, Hoeness can accept the reality of the team's poor performance in the European competition, but absolutely cannot tolerate the result of losing the league championship!

Therefore, under the guidance of this kind of thinking, Hoeness and Rummenigge, who were watching the game in the box, did not consider the issue of coaching change, but were just thinking about which teams should poach from next summer and complete the ball as quickly as possible. The rebuilding of the team!
