Chapter Eighty-Seven: Bing Allianz

Before the battle started, two generals fell first. Ancelotti's face was so gloomy all day long that even Digan didn't want to provoke him. Who knows if depression will lead to menopause.

When the team was training, the atmosphere was also very depressing. There are not many people who can use the first team. This time, the opponent they have to face is a strong opponent like Bayern Munich. It is basically useless in the league, and the Coppa Italia has also been eliminated. Under such circumstances, the UEFA Champions League has become the last hope of AC Milan this season.

No one wants to experience a season where all four players are empty, especially after experiencing such a fart in Istanbul last season, Milan players are more eager than anyone to use success to wash away their humiliation.

Degan was quieter than usual today. Although he expressed his confidence in winning when he was interviewed by reporters, he is also very clear that although Bayern Munich has not yet reached their peak, they are still difficult to deal with.

Although Bayern Munich does not have young talents like Muller and Kroos, everyone in the lineup can be called a top player.

Goalkeeper Kahn is the German national goalkeeper, the top five super goalkeepers in world football, and the leader of Bayern Munich. Although in the German national team, his position has been replaced by Lehmann, but in Bayern, whether it is high-profile Newcomer Lensing, or the penalty goalkeeper Bout, who has been rumored with Bayern, is not enough to replace him.

Whenever football pundits are asked to select a world-class player from the german squad, the name of oliver kahn is bound to spring to mind, the bayern munich goalkeeper has made a name for himself , he is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and a model player who has maintained a high level for many years.

In 1986, Kahn started his football career in his native city of Karlsruhe. A year later he joined the youth team of FC Karlsruhe. Although he stood out here, he was never favored by the national youth team.

In the autumn of 1990, Kahn ushered in his debut in the Bundesliga and left a very deep impression from the beginning.

It took him just three seasons to establish himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the Bundesliga. In October 1993, his outstanding performance won the call of the national team, and was selected for the German team to participate in the 1994 FIFA World Cup squad, but only as a substitute for Bodo Ilgner, and he did not have a chance to play.

At the beginning of the 1994/1995 season, Kahn joined the Bayern Munich club and has since won numerous championship trophies with the team, both domestically and internationally. The 2.5 million euros paid by the Bavarian club set a record for the highest transfer fee for a goalkeeper at the time. Since then, Kahn has become Bayern's first-choice goalkeeper.

Kahn's football career took a hit in November 1994 when a torn ACL kept him out of action for five months. However, this forced long absence has had a positive effect, and when Kahn returned to the field, he was mentally stronger and quickly found his best form.

In June 1995, in a match with the Swiss team, Kahn made his national team debut. However, in the 1996 European Championship in England, he still had to play as a substitute. The 1998 World Cup in France brought an even greater sense of loss to Kahn, who had to serve as a substitute goalkeeper for the third consecutive international competition. After the World Cup, Andreas Kopke announced his retirement. It was only then that Kahn had the opportunity to become the undisputed number one goalkeeper in the German tank.

In 2000, Kahn was voted the 2000 German Footballer of the Year and the best goalkeeper in Europe. In the 2000/2001 season, Kahn reached the pinnacle of his sports career so far. As well as winning his fourth German Bundesliga trophy, he also lifted the European Cup that season.

After a disastrous defeat in 1999, Bayern once again had the opportunity to challenge for the highest honor of European clubs in two years, and Bayern Munich, which has been far away from the top of Europe for 25 years, is definitely as eager for this trophy as their opponents in the final. Rencia Football Club.

In the final, the two teams were tied in 90 minutes and extra time, and finally had to go to a brutal penalty shootout. With Kahn's outstanding performance, he saved three penalties, thus helping the German giants win The first Champions League trophy in the new century after the era of Beckenbauer and Gerd Muller! At the end of the season, the team also won two championships in the league and the European Champions Cup!

Kahn's outstanding performance is also one of the important factors for the German team to win tickets to the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. It can be said that looking back at the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, Kahn was a well-deserved protagonist in the German team and even the entire cup.

After experiencing the World Cup, Kahn fell into a downturn for a while, but these cannot but decide something. When he continued to play for the Bayern Munich club and the German national team, Kahn proved to the world that he is still the first goalkeeper of the German team .

Left-back Lizarazu, in his showcase of honors, every major trophy can be found: World Cup wins for the national team, European Cups, Bundesliga titles with Bayern Munich, DFB-Pokals, European Cups and Toyota cup.

Lizarazu can be regarded as one of the top left-backs in the world. Although he is not physically strong, he has excellent defensive awareness, is good at steals, and has a good sense of position. In addition, he often relies on speed and technology to break through the opponent's side defense, adding more routines to the team's offense.

As a flying full-back, Lizarazu often advances from the back line to attack. He is very brave, stable, and has a good defensive awareness, good at steals, and his assists are quite sharp. With the characteristics of fine footwork and strong side penetration, he is flexible and agile in running back and forth, and he is also a penalty shooter. Lizarazu has held the position of the main left back of the French team for many years and is one of the best assisting full backs in the world. His dribbling on the left is one of the important offensive methods of the French team and Bayern Munich one.

Central defender Lucio, with a height of 1.88 meters, Lucio has excellent physical fitness. He is extremely amazing in terms of jumping, explosive power and speed. It is difficult for even forward players to match him in physical fitness. Lucio, who has the tactical literacy of the European and the talent of the South American, makes full use of his physical advantages. He can always look down on the opponent's arrows in the game, and sometimes there will be amazing games.

Lucio has a very high standard in the timing of his interceptions, and his kicks are accurate and fierce. The ability to compete for the top and head the ball is one of Lucio's strengths, and his presence also increases Bayern Munich's air defense capabilities.

In the summer of 2004, Lucio left Leverkusen and moved to Bayern Munich for 12 million euros. After coming to Bayern, Lucio finally won his first Bundesliga title and the German Cup title.

However, Lucio also has shortcomings. After the defensive position, Lucio does not have a bad sense of position, but the problem is that he likes to rush to the frontcourt to attack too much, often leaving gaps behind him, and he often Difficulty concentrating.

Lucio's partner Van Buyten in the central defender position, as Degan's teammate in the Belgian national team, Degan knows him very well, his style is fierce, and he can devote 100% of every game. Although he is not very tall, but The jumping ability is amazing, especially as a marking center back, even when the national team is training, Degan often suffers from him.

Right back Sagnol, in 2000, he was spotted by Bayern Munich and came to the Bundesliga giants with a worth of 7.7 million euros. In Bayern's first season, Sagnol won the European Champions Cup and the Bundesliga double with the team, and he also became the absolute main force in the team. An important weapon for Bayern's offense, and his defense is also quite good.

In addition to the four King Kong on the back line, Bayern also has a strong player like Ismail and a young rookie like Lahm. Although in the powerful Bayern, they can only be used as substitutes and rotation players, but they are also Possesses the strength of the main force.

In terms of midfield, the first thing I have to mention is Schweinsteiger, the representative of Bayern Munich's young players. He has plenty of energy, a strong figure, and comprehensive skills. At first, he served as the team's winger, and was transformed into a defensive midfielder by Magath. This change made him shine. The playmaker of the midfield and the metronome of offensive and defensive transitions.

Although he is young, Xiaozhu is now the most indispensable offensive and defensive hub of Bayern. The fledgling Xiaozhu has impressed the hearts of fans with his skillful dribbling, but under the leadership of Magath, he is now fancy. There are fewer movements, but the ability to protect the ball has been greatly improved, and the movements are becoming simpler and more practical. The slow progress in the counterattack is the biggest shortcoming of Xiaozhu, but the good vision and overall situation make up for the slow speed of Xiaozhu in the fast counterattack. suffer.

Demichelis has strong one-on-one ability, good header and high pass success rate. He is a sharp weapon against speed forwards in the back line. Jose Aguilia, president of the Argentine River Plate Club, once commented on Demichelis and said: "Watching him play reminds me of Beckenbauer back then."

In the position of the defensive midfielder, he is a weapon for Bayern Munich to deal with speedy forwards. He has an elegant style of play and can perform well in any defensive position to complete the task. Moreover, he has strong adaptability and can organize the team's overall offense and defense. Good at playing football with his brain, Rummenigge praised him as "Santa Cruz in the defense", but fans of River Plate's rival Boca called him "the butcher in the defense".

Deisler, a super genius of German football, he is extremely fast, has exquisite dribbling skills, precise crosses, and direct free kicks are extremely lethal. He has all the technical qualities to become a master. He has played against Ballack, Together Klose is seen as a leading figure in the future of German football. But injuries and psychological problems have kept Deisler from reaching the heights people expected, but this season Deisler's state is very good, and injuries seem to be far away from him.

Fighting spirit, both left and right foot skills are relatively proficient, and he also has a certain distance shooting ability. In addition, Hargreaves is also an all-round player. In addition to the midfielder, he can also play the role of full-back and full-back. His defensive ability It is more than enough to be used at the right back position, and on the wing he can also take advantage of his passing the ball, and also has excellent positioning skills, free kicks and corner kicks are more threatening.

Michael Ballack, a flag player in German football, has amazing physical fitness and endurance. He can play as an attacking midfielder, as well as an organizing midfielder or a defensive midfielder.

While playing for Deportivo, he scored 22 goals in the 99/00 season and helped the team win the league championship in one fell swoop. In the summer of 2003, Ma Kai moved to Bayern Munich. Ma Kai scored 23 goals for the team in the first season, second only to the top scorer Elber.

Peruvian Pizarro, he really became famous in Werder Bremen. After joining Bremen, he quickly adapted to the rhythm of the Bundesliga. Werder Bremen have scored 38 goals in 70 appearances in the third tier. After the end of the 00/01 season, Bremen was powerless to stop Pizarro's determination to develop in a big club. For a time, clubs from abroad, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Inter Milan, were eyeing this popular star in the Bundesliga. After rejecting the invitations of these clubs, Pizarro politely declined the invitation of Dortmund and announced on June 7, 2001 that he would join the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

After coming to Bayern, Pizarro continued the good momentum of the Werder Bremen period. He scored his first goal in Bayern in the second round of the 01/02 season against Schalke 04. The Peruvian kid quickly got He was recognized by the fans, who affectionately called him "the god of the Incas".

In Bayern's days, whether the striker partner is the Brazilian Elber or the Dutch striker Ma Kai, Pizarro can cooperate well with them to maximize Bayern's attack power. No matter what the team's performance is, he is one of the most stable players in the team, and the number of goals in several seasons is also very stable.

Bayern Munich has a strong lineup, and what's even more troublesome is that, unlike AC Milan, which is full of wounded soldiers, Bayern Munich doesn't have any wounded.

It's no wonder that Ancelotti's fat face, as if someone else owed him 50 million, left only the last straw in his hand, only to realize that this straw It was full of thorns.

It is conceivable that if you are eliminated by Bayern Munich in the first round, what kind of fate will be waiting for Ancelotti. There is no doubt that I have never liked Ancelotti, and I have long lost patience with Ancelotti Berlusconi fired the fat coach after the end of the season, and he will never show mercy.

Ancelotti also feels the heavy pressure now. During the team training today, Galliani and general manager Braida went to Milanello again and stood on the sidelines.

"Are you nervous?" Gattuso approached Degan and asked in a low voice.

Degan looked at Gattuso and saw that the Italian butcher had a serious face. He couldn't help but wonder: "Of course not! Why should I be nervous!"

"But what we have to face next is Bayern Munich!" Gattuso is not as relaxed as Degan. He is the key to this game. Ancelotti said before that he is responsible for man-marking during the game Barack.

That's Barack!

The veritable No. 1 player in Germany, the No. 1 master, even Gattuso has no confidence to complete this task.

"Bayern Munich!? Can they play twelve people in the game?" Degan asked, looking at Gattuso.

Gattuso was taken aback: "Of course not!"

Digan put on a clear look: "There's nothing to be nervous about, we're no worse than the Germans!"

Gattuso stood where he was, watched Digan run away, and it took him a long time to react, and he also smiled: "That's right! What's there to be nervous about!"

That night, the entire AC Milan team boarded a flight to Munich, Germany. At the airport, Degan was surrounded by reporters and accepted a short interview.

"I know that many people are not optimistic about us now because of the injuries encountered by Milan, but football games are not so simple. The result can only be known when the game is over. We will work hard, even in the away game. We also want to strive for victory! Bayern Munich is indeed very strong, but AC Milan is not bad, they have home court advantage, and we also have our own advantages!"
