The two hundred and sixtieth chapters are appointed
Bayern Munich and Dortmund both reached the Champions League semi-finals and were not split together.
This has caused some German media to think about whether the Champions League final of this season will re-show the scene of last season and become a civil war for German football?
As long as Dortmund eliminates Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich eliminates Real Madrid, they can meet in the finals again. I feel excited when I think about it.
But I'm afraid neither team will think so. They both hope that they can reach the finals, while their arch-rivals will be eliminated in the semi-finals.
Spanish media believe that there is a data that may indicate that Atletico Madrid will win the championship this time. If Atletico Madrid wins the championship, it means that Dortmund will be eliminated.
The reason for the Spanish media is quite "fatalism". To put it bluntly, it is superstitious. They analyzed the similarities between the Champions League champions in recent seasons and found that since the 2007-2008 season, except for last season and last season, all Champions League champions have either been Barcelona or eliminated Barcelona's team.
For example, the 2007-2008 season was Manchester United. After meeting Barcelona in the semi-finals and eliminating Barcelona, Manchester United beat Chelsea in the heavy rain in Moscow and won the championship trophy.
The Champions League champion in the 2008-2009 season was Barcelona.
The Champions League champion who advanced to the 2009-2010 match was Inter Milan. Mourinho led Inter Milan to eliminate Barcelona in the semi-finals. Among them, the classic manifestation of Mourinho's coach tactics against Barcelona away.
Barcelona also won the Champions League championship in the 2010-2011 season.
According to this rule, Atletico Madrid, which eliminated Barcelona, has a high chance of winning the Champions League this season.
However, the German media sneered at the Spanish media's argument. If this was a rule, it would have been broken long ago and had been invalidated.
Because the 2011-2012 season and the 2013-2014 season have nothing to do with this rule.
Dortmund won the championship last season. Dortmund did not meet Barcelona anyway. Bayern Munich, who eliminated Barcelona in the semi-finals, was defeated by Dortmund in the final.
As for the 2011-2012 season, the league champion of that season was Chelsea, but they did not meet Barcelona either. Dortmund eliminated Barcelona after a hard battle in the quarter-finals, while Dortmund, who eliminated Barcelona, was defeated by Chelsea and missed the final.
So this can prove that the Spanish media is simply far-fetched, and this deliberately created coincidence cannot stand scrutiny at all.
The German media did not get entangled with the Spanish media on this issue. They just listed the data to slap in the face, and then paid attention to the next "Tianwangshan Battle" in the Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich faces Dortmund at home, and this game is the focus of everyone's attention, the entire German football world... no, it is the most important thing in the entire German sports world.
In the just-concluded Champions League most game, both teams eliminated their respective opponents and entered the Champions League semi-finals.
In this way, the impact of the Champions League on both teams will be the same. There is no situation where a team is eliminated and must do its best to ensure the league championship.
Although the battle is imminent, Dortmund still gave the players a day off.
On the one hand, of course, because everyone was very tired at this time of the league. They just played a Champions League game, which brought burden and pressure to the players' physical fitness and psychology. The players need to rest and release some pressure.
On the other hand, perhaps because both teams are too familiar with each other and have been entangled in the Bundesliga for many seasons and in the last four seasons. Because they are too familiar with each other, there is no need to do more targeted training. At that time, what reactions will be between each other in the game should be guessed. Since that is the case, it is better to let the players rest more. At this time, physical fitness is more important than tactical training.
However, Dortmund did this, and Bayern Munich, who is also familiar with his opponent, did not do this. Guardiola did not even give him a half-day holiday. After playing the Champions League match with Manchester United in the evening, the team started training again the next morning.
There are probably two reasons.
The first reason is that Bayern Munich's lineup is stronger than Dortmund. They also rotated some of the rosters in the Champions League. In addition, in previous games, Bayern Munich had rotated, so their main players' physical fitness must be better than Dortmund. After all, since the players were frequently injured, Dortmund has been using the residual lineup to support it now.
The second reason is that the conditions are not allowed to play between Bayern Munich and Manchester United on Wednesday night, April 9, while their game against Dortmund is on Saturday night, April 12, Saturday night. The full play is full, and there is only two days in the middle. If Bayern Munich rests for another day and a half, it will be time to prepare for Dortmund. So Guardiola did not give the team a holiday.
The second reason also made Munich's media quite dissatisfied. They criticized the Bundesliga for not being flexible enough when setting the schedule. Although the schedule was decided at the beginning of the season, it could also be adjusted. In this case, such an important game is close to the Champions League, but it still insists on scheduled on Saturdays. Why can't it be scheduled on Sunday nights? In this way, Bayern Munich can also have more day, and whether it is rest or training, it is much calmer than it is now.
Of course, the complaints of Munich media were mocked by Dortmund media: "...Munich media said that the game should be adjusted to Sunday night? Have they forgotten that their team still has a German Cup semi-final in the middle of next week, and the opponent is Keserslautern. If the Bundesliga really switched this game to Sunday, then will the Munich media complain that the German Cup semi-final arrangements will make them have no time to rest before the start of the match between Bayern Munich and Keserslautern? In short, the schedule is to satisfy Bayern Munich. Never let Bayern Munich feel a little wronged, otherwise it will be unfair and favor Dortmund. To be honest, we have been tired of hearing such arguments in recent years. Can Munich media change a new reason next time?"
These two local media are really tit-for-tat and full of gunpowder.
The Dortmund media had complained about the schedule of the Champions League. The first leg of Dortmund was the second day of the game, and the second leg turned into the first day of the game, resulting in a one-day less rest time for the team. It was ridiculed by the Munich media.
Now the feng shui is changing, and it is Dortmund's turn to mock and criticize the Munich media.
As long as Dortmund and Bayern Munich have a competition, the tradition of fighting against each other in the two local media will continue to continue...
There is no right or wrong in this kind of quarrel, only a position. The so-called "butt determines the head" means wherever the butt sits, you will naturally speak for it.
※※※
After a full day of rest, the players who participated in the midweek Champions League returned to Brakel's training base and practiced with the team to prepare for the Saturday night's game.
Because Bayern Munich and Dortmund are both too familiar with each other, it is unlikely to make a surprise new one, and the current time is not allowed at all. No team can learn a new tactics and new formation in one day of training.
In this case, instead of making some so-called secret weapons, it is better to use the weapons at hand and master them well.
Therefore, during the two days of training, we mainly conducted regular training, and strengthened the training of set pieces and defense.
At the same time, because this game is very likely to determine the ownership of the league championship this season, the media also made a lot of hype before the game, and the celebrities and supporters of various teams from both sides have come forward to join the battle of words.
For a moment, the spitting stars flew around and all kinds of remarks became rampant.
In other words, it’s only two or three days before the game. If you dare to prepare for a week, what scale will this verbal battle become...
Players on both sides are also the main interview subjects of the media.
For example, Gotze, a player who once played for Dortmund.
Gotze is in good shape recently. He didn't play in the last Champions League game at all, not because Guardiola abandoned him again, but because he asked him to rest in that game and prepare for this game against Dortmund.
Everyone wants to hear what Gotze thinks of this game.
Of course Gotze knew what these media thought, so he was very cautious when answering this question. First of all, he praised Dortmund's performance this season: "...I'm very happy to see them reach the Champions League semi-finals like us..."
Then he couldn't dissatisfied the supporters of Bayern Munich, so he immediately changed the subject: "But I am a Bayern Munich player now, I will fight for the honor of our team. I long to succeed here, and now I feel good."
On Dortmund, although Zhou Yi is the core, the media prefers to interview Groskreuz. When this Dortmund supporter faces the media, he always has amazing words and provides the media with hype ammunition.
He spoke out his dissatisfaction with the traitors.
"We will beat them away and win the league championship this season! Let those who leave see how wrong it was to choose to leave!"
Of course, as the core of the team, Zhou Yi cannot help but interview him. What did he say?
"I think it's wrong for you to call this game the 'finals'..." Zhou Yi started to educate the media reporters who hyped this game. "How can the league have the concept of 'finals'? After this game is over, there are still four rounds left in the league. Losing any of them will lead to a change in the final result. So we need to consider it a longer-term..."
Everyone thought Zhou Yi was saying some "correct nonsense", but Zhou Yi continued: "If you want to win the championship, you must ensure a complete victory. Not only can you defeat Bayern Munich, everything will be fine, we must continue to win! We will definitely not give Bayern Munich a chance to turn the tables!"
Then everyone suddenly realized that Zhou Yi was the one who spoke the most! Before he could play in the game against Bayern Munich, he had already decided to win the game...
