Chapter 48 Holding the thigh?
"Before the game against Juventus, Magath announced the starting lineup of this game. To everyone's surprise, the person who served as the starting center was not Roy Makai, but Lucas Sutton. I think many fans will immediately have such a question in their minds when they hear this name? 'Who is Lucas Sutton? So this time, let's introduce to you this unexpected starting center."
"Lucas Sutton is a player produced by the São Paulo youth team. Before transferring to Bayern Munich, he played for São Paulo. After Fabiano left the team, he became the starting center of the team. He played 67 times in São Paulo and scored 31 goals. However, in the eyes of Brazilian media and fans, he is not popular. Because this center is not fast except for goals, he has extraordinary abilities. His footwork is not even considered a Brazilian player... Such a player is really an alien in Brazil. Because Santa Cruz was seriously injured in the training camp before the season, he joined Bayern Munich. It is worth mentioning that Lucas Sutton and Rong have a very close relationship. They have been teammates in the São Paulo youth team and the first team of São Paulo..."
German TV stations began to introduce the starting center Lucas Sutton of the game to German fans, especially Bayern Munich fans that night.
This introduction is even more detailed than Lucas Sutton when he joined the team.
However, the details do not mean that the media recognizes Lucas Sutton's first release.
This can be seen from the tone and words used in their reports.
"...In this game, Brazilian striker Lucas Sutton started for the first time. He joined Bayern Munich because Santa Cruz was injured and Magath needed a substitute center. It is said that Magath asked Rong for his advice at that time, so Rong recommended his good friend Lucas..."
The Munich Daily did not say it more explicitly, but everyone can see why Lucas was able to join Bayern Munich and why Bayern Munich fell in love with Lucas because he was Rong Guang's friend. So in fact, Lucas' performance and strength are not important at all. It is just that Bayern Munich Club gave Rong Guang a face.
There are even more straightforward statements, such as the report of the Munich Evening News:
"The reason why Lucas Sutton was able to join Bayern Munich was because Bayern Munich club was discussing a contract renewal with Rong at that time... According to people familiar with the matter, Rong said that he wanted him to agree to renew the contract with the club, and the club had to agree to his conditions. In addition to the surprising salary increase, Bayern Munich must introduce Rong's good friend in Sao Paulo, Lucas Sutton... When Rong first joined Sao Paulo, he was Lucas part-time coach of his enlightenment. He was also Rong's best friend in Sao Paulo. He was the first person he came into contact with after coming to Sao Paulo. The relationship was extraordinary..."
Through these reports, Lucas Sutton's image in everyone's mind has become a player with little strength. The reason why he came to Bayern Munich was entirely because he hugged a thick golden thigh.
So no matter how good you play, it is better to hold your thighs... You see, Ma Kai is very strong, but he can't even make a starter. Lucas, a parallel player, can squeeze out Ma Kai because of his good relationship with Rongguang and start in such an important game.
When the media talks about Lucas, their tone is very contemptuous, and they are despised by Lucas' behavior. Shouldn't a professional player use his actual performance to prove his ability and value? The practice of gaining benefits by establishing good relationships with big-name stars always gives people a feeling of being "not a man".
"If Bayern Munich loses to Juventus in this game, I think Magath must be responsible for his starting list..." Some media have begun to consider what happened after Bayern Munich lost the game.
※※※
The Allianz Stadium was built for the World Cup in Germany and was intended to be used to home the two famous teams in Munich City - one is Bayern Munich and the other is Munich 186.
The most characteristic of this stadium is that its exterior walls are all composed of inflatable airbags with constant atmospheric pressure of 350 Pascals. The inflatable airbags are light-transmitting, so they can appear in different colors on the walls.
During the day, this white stadium looks like a swimming ring or a lifeboat.
And at night it is the most glamorous moment for this stadium.
Its exterior walls will change colors as the light changes.
When Bayern Munich competes here, the exterior walls are red - this is the color of Bayern Munich's home court.
If Munich 186 plays here, the exterior wall will be blue, because the color of the home jersey of Munich 186 is blue.
When the German national team competes here, the exterior wall turns white.
Now, under the night sky of Munich, the Allianz Stadium looks like a red lifebuoy, sending a red light that symbolizes a "warning".
"If you can't win this game, I don't know if this lifebuoy Magath can be used..." Before the game started, a reporter looked at the spectacular exterior wall of the Allianz Stadium and sighed.
Because Magath did not choose Magath, but chose Lucas, many reporters were not optimistic about Bayern Munich defeating Juventus at home.
Capello's Juventus is at its peak, and they completely dominate the Serie A football in Italy. Now the "old woman" fans hope that Juventus can make a breakthrough in European football under the leadership of Capello.
For the most successful team in Italy, Juventus, their performance in the European game is not as good as AC Milan, which makes their fans feel uneasy.
They don't want to be the team that can play the league the best, they also want to be the team that can play the Champions League the best.
Now is the best time for this team, and their goal is to win the Champions League this season.
Bookmakers also listed them as one of the biggest hits to win the championship.
This is a very difficult opponent.
If it was Bayern Munich five years ago, it would be impossible to be afraid of Juventus at all.
But now... Bayern Munich is at the lowest point in recent years, and Juventuszer is very strong, with one rising and the other falling. Everyone is not optimistic about Bayern Munich, even if it is Bayern Munich at home, it makes sense.

In the visiting team locker room at Allianz Stadium, Italian coach Capello is making the final mobilization for the Juventus players who have just returned from warming up.
"…Bayern Munich abandoned Roy Makai in this game and chose Lucas Sutton. We know little about this player, but it doesn't matter. He will definitely not be the protagonist. Bayern Munich's most threatening player is Rong. This team is entirely supported by him. They have not yet formed an overall offensive idea, so they have to rely on the stars' personal flashes. In this game, you must keep a close eye on Rong..."
The name of Glory was written on the prompt board by Capello, big and very eye-catching.
It can be seen that Rong Guang is the most threatening player in Capello's heart. As for other Bayern Munich stars, Rong Guang is not as good as Rong Guang.
Because this Bayern Munich is essentially no different from before, the only thing that can bring changes and breakthroughs to Bayern Munich is glory.

Although he was dissatisfied and puzzled by Magath's choice of Lucas Sutton, when Bayern Munich players walked out of the player channel, the Bayern Munich fans in the stands still cheered loudly to welcome the Bayern Munich players.
They hope to see a wonderful victory at home - the so-called fans are that no matter how many objective analysis there have been before, they still hope that the team they support will win with a lucky mentality. This kind of support is subjective. Since it is subjective, it must be irrational and calm, and there is no reason to say.
Lucas and Glory walked together, they were one after another.
The camera lens of the game live broadcast was also aimed at the two of them, first sweeping over Lucas, then sweeping over the glory.
Glory is being watched because he is the most threatening star in this Bayern Munich team, even surpassing Barack.
If Bayern Munich wants to win this game, it must depend on Glory's performance in this game.
The focus on Lucas is because of some controversy before the game.
Lucas replaced the injured Pizarro starting instead of Makai, which made the media criticize Magath's choice. After joining the team, he made the first appearance and the first starter, which was in such an important game. Is it good or bad for a player like Lucas?
If Bayern Munich loses this game, then Lucas is likely to become the main person in charge of the loss and bear tremendous pressure with Magath.
To be honest, this is not a suitable time to play.
So everyone can't understand why Magath had to let Lucas start in this game.
Could it be that Magath really believes in Lucas' ability?
However, when studying his performance in St. Paul, I didn't feel that I had any outstanding abilities.
Study his performance at Bayern Munich...well, he hasn't performed anything in Bayern Munich.
Everyone thought that Lucas must be a little nervous when he started and played in such an important game.
But through the close-up, they were surprised to find that Lucas was smiling and talking to Rongguang very happily
※※※
"Look, Lucas, this is Allianz Stadium. You haven't played in this stadium yet? Do you perform better then, don't be nervous, don't hold me back." Rongguang said to Lucas who was walking in front of him.
Lucas turned around and curled his lips to Rongguang: "Stop kidding, Rong, I am the one who has played football at the Maracana Stadium, and we have seen the world."
Then both of them laughed.
Since St. Paul's farewell, this is the first time they have fought side by side in the game.
Having an old partner around me is really full of confidence and passion.
No matter how powerful Juventus is, it is not a big deal.
