Chapter 132 The suspense is gone

After the first leg of the match against Villarreal, German media believed that Bayern Munich had definitely advanced to the semi-finals.

Such a result is already the best result in the Champions League after Magath coached Bayern Munich, and it is also the best result of Bayern Munich in the Champions League in recent seasons.

Sure enough, after the glory, it is different...

German media already have this view.

Bayern Munich is able to advance to the semi-finals this time, and Glory is truly a great contribution.

The German media are already looking forward to the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich's opponent in the semi-finals is likely to be the English team Arsenal.

Arsenal defeated Juventus 20 at home in the quarterfinals of the first leg. Although Juventus is home in the next leg, with the current state and strength of this Arsenal team, it is really difficult for Juventus to turn the tables.

This is actually somewhat similar to Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich has glory, while Arsenal has Henry.

No one believes that Villarreal can still turn the tables at home.

They're already three goals behind

However, just before the second leg of the match with Bayern Munich, the local media in Villarreal suddenly began to take everyone to review the classic reversal battles in Champions League history.

They mentioned the 203264 Champions League, and in the quarter-finals, La Coruña met AC Milan.

In the first round, at AC Milan's home court, Kaka helped AC Milan defeat La Coruna 4l.

At that time, everyone thought that the defending champion AC Milan must have advanced to the semi-finals, and La Coruña definitely had no chance to turn the tables.

But just after La Coruna returned to home, they played an amazing score.

40

In the first half, "Super Laco" had already led AC Milan with three goals.

The defending champion was completely fooled. The players were cursed and had no idea how to deal with the game.

Later, La Coruña eliminated AC Milan with a total score of 4 and advanced to the semi-finals.

Why did Villarreal's media re-report the old story?

Obviously, they also hope that what "Super Laco" did that year can also do it.

Villarreal's official website is also holding an event, hoping that fans can fill the love song stadium by then, creating a terrifying home atmosphere and helping the team defeat Bayern Munich.

Villarreal fans also seemed full of confidence when interviewed by reporters. They really didn't have the least sign of being eliminated...

"We want to fight back hard at home, and we want the Germans to know that Villarreal is not easy to mess with."

"During World War II, the Germans invented the submarine group tactics. Now it's our turn to 'yellow submarines, follow their example."

And it’s not just the media that have confidence, but it’s not just the fans that have confidence.

Villarreal's players seem to be quite confident.

Needless to mention their attitude during training, they also seemed very confident when interviewing with reporters.

"Bayern Munich is very powerful, but this is at our home court. We have no way out and can often burst out with stronger energy..." In an interview with reporters, the team's top scorer Diego Fran said.

Even Riquelme, who has always been taciturn, expressed confidence: "It is difficult to overtake after three goals, but it is not as difficult as impossible."

The team's head coach Pellegrini said even more: "When we just participated in the Champions League this season, no one believed that we could qualify from the group. But we finally got the right to qualify as the first in the group. In the Champions League, we were miracles, so why not continue to create miracles?"

From top to bottom, you can't see any pessimism in the entire Villarreal team. If you only start paying attention to this team now, you will definitely think that Villarreal achieved a good result in his first encounter with Bayern Munich, which gave them the confidence to eliminate Bayern Munich in the second round.

"It's really strange, what makes Espanyol so confident?" Henke, the team's assistant coach, also felt very strange after receiving the information sent back from Spain.

"I don't know. But that has nothing to do with us." The team's head coach Magath shook his head. "We just need to play according to our own play, there is no need to pay attention to the other party."

The B0 in the first round gave Bayern Munich such confidence.

"Then this is the starting lineup for this game, look at it." Henk handed the paper in his hand to Magath.

Magat took over Henk's starting lineup and glanced at it. This starting lineup is Bayern Munich's away game against Villarreal.

This is based on how the players performed in training in recent days.

It was not said who must be the main force.

The goalkeeper who starts every game like Kahn is not because he is Oliver Kahn has such an opportunity, but because as a main goalkeeper, Oliver Kahn will maintain his own form, so his condition has always been very stable and his training attitude is very positive.

Even if it is glory, in addition to rotation, the primary factor that determines whether he can start is his condition and performance in training.

Magath finished reading the list soon.

He nodded: "Very good, everyone on it is here. Let's set off for Spain in the afternoon."

※※※

As Bayern Munich's assistant coach, Michael Henk doesn't understand why Villarreal is so confident, which is normal because Bayern Munich's starting list was drafted by him.

But Villarreal doesn't know what kind of starting lineup Bayern Munich will line up in this game...

Pellegrini believes that after Bayern Munich defeated Villarreal in the first leg, he should choose a rotation lineup in the second leg, and the players will also be relaxed and underestimated.

Then this is Villarreal's opportunity.

As long as you grasp it well, you may not be able to create an incredible epic reversal at home like La Coruna

※※※

When Bayern Munich arrived in Villarreal that afternoon, the whole team went to the Love Song Stadium to train in the evening to adapt to the venue.

Magath went to attend the pre-match press conference.

If nothing unexpected happens, the starting list of both sides will be announced.

Of course, it is not ruled out that one wants to maintain aesthetic sense and catch the other party off guard, and does not announce the starting list. It will not be possible for everyone to know exactly who can start the starting lineup until two hours before the game begins.

However, Magath obviously did not plan to do those tricks away.

At the pre-match press conference, he released the starting list of this game very frivolously.

This is also the media's most concerned.

Will Bayern Munich really rotate after the first round of victory and hide the main players?

After answering several questions, Magath threw out the starting list: "Next, I will announce the starting list for tomorrow's game..."

Everyone held their breath and the scene became quiet. They listened to Magath, starting from the goalkeeper, and read out the starting lineup of Bayern Munich in this game.

Especially those Spanish journalists, they all know that Bayern Munich's starting lineup in this game may be directly related to the outcome of this game.

"Oliver Kahn Lucio, Ismail, Lizarazu, Saniol..."

But as Magath reported these names one by one, the expressions on everyone's faces changed.

Because from these names... Bayern Munich doesn't seem to be planning to rotate, these people are all main players

It's Bayern Munich's strongest lineup

At this time, the Spanish journalists were still illusions. They thought that even if that was the case, as long as there was one person not appearing, Villarreal would still have a chance.

That person is...

"Rong."

Just as he thought of this, Magath pronounced his name.

When a group of Spanish journalists heard the name, their sitting posture changed, as if they had lost their strength. They had been straightened, but after hearing the name, they couldn't help but lean back until they leaned on the back of the chair before stopping.

Why does this happen?

Because they knew very well that Villarreal had to attack in this game, and had to attack in order to score goals. It was impossible to play a defensive counterattack like in the first round.

Then when you press the attack, there will inevitably be a lot of room behind you.

If Bayern Munich has no glory, although these spaces may be used by Bayern Munich, their utilization efficiency will not be too high, and the Villarreals are still a bit lucky.

But now that we have gained glory, many people's luck mentality has disappeared.

Because Rongguang's ability to seize opportunities is really too strong.

And after Villarreal pressed on the attack, the gap behind them seemed to be tailor-made for glory...

So what else can we talk about creating miracles and reversals?

I'm afraid the goal was pierced by glory before they scored.

When they think of this very likely scenario, these Spanish reporters have no expectations for the next game.

A game where the result of a game is destined... what is the value of attention?

Yes, La Coruña once reversed AC Milan at home.

But Bayern Munich is not AC Milan.

Moreover, the glory today is more mature and threatening than Kaka at the time.

So with him, it is unlikely that Bayern Munich will be reversed by Villarreal.
