Chapter 515 "War of Words" Between the British and German Media

"Looks like I'm really sick..."

Could it be that he looked at Lao Lei's back strangely, muttered something to himself, then shook his head with a wry smile, and walked slowly towards the locker room...

Regardless of whether there is an inside story about the result of UEFA's draw, the "Master-Apprentice Showdown" they created with the help of the relationship between Murphy and Rangnick has indeed successfully attracted the attention of the public. Where is Hoffenheim and Murphy After Tottenham were tied in Group A, the media and fans were in an uproar, and now Tottenham and the team coached by Rangnick met in the knockout stage, and the outside world was once again "thundered" by UEFA's approach. light.

The British "Sun" commented sarcastically: "UEFA officials have once again proved with their actual actions that there is always only what you can't think of in the Champions League, and there is nothing they can't do. 06-07 In the 08-09 season, Real Madrid met Lyon in the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League. There are countless examples of this. It is very common for Heim to encounter in the group of death. As for Tottenham’s meeting with Schalke 04 led by Ralph, it is already doomed. It has to be said that although we I am disgusted and tired of the almost idiotic approach of the United, but on the other hand, we are still grateful, after all, such a game full of gimmicks is more likely to arouse the fans' desire to watch."

The Times, another authoritative sports magazine in the UK, published the headline "No matter who the opponent is, the victory will belong to Bai Lily!" Most of the attention is focused on the players and coaches of both sides: "Although UEFA's move seems to us to be very stupid, but the matter has become an established fact, and we don't need to bother to argue. It's meaningless. For us, how to win is the most important thing."

"Judging from the comparison of the strengths of the current lineups of the two sides, Tottenham is undoubtedly stronger. Talented players such as Mo, Rafael, and Gareth are in hot form. Even giants like Manchester United and Liverpool can't beat them. Can Schalke 04, the top player in Europe, accomplish a miracle that many giants cannot? The answer is obvious."

"From the perspective of the coaches of both sides, Tottenham coach Redknapp has many years of coaching experience in top teams. His changeable tactics and excellent on-the-spot command ability are important factors for the team to be hopeless; but Rangnick is obviously also an excellent academic head coach. Maybe a few seasons ago, some people would have questioned Rangnick's command of "boom and paper". He has become the most representative coach in German football. Both coaches have their own advantages and disadvantages, but in comparison, Rangnick should be better. Although Redknapp has enough coaching experience, he But there are few outstanding personal honors, and on this point, Rangnick has more say than him, after all, he is a veritable champion coach."

"To sum up, Tottenham's lineup has an absolute advantage, while Schalke 04 is even better in coaching. The two teams can be said to have their own strengths. In theory, both sides have a chance to win, but From the actual situation, Tottenham's chances of winning are at least [-]%. Their strong fighting spirit and thirst for honor are even hotter. Now Tottenham is gradually embarking on a high-speed road. Proving how tenacious and unyielding they are, they will crush any 'enemy' who dares to block their way forward!"

"They are a group of idiots who are afraid of chaos!" Germany's largest and most authoritative sports media "Bild" first expressed their strong dissatisfaction to UEFA, and then brought the topic to the upcoming "Master and Apprentice" In the big battle of "Dueling", "To be honest, every time Mo returns to Germany to play against a Bundesliga team, for us, there will be extremely complicated emotions. Mo is from the Bundesliga to the world. He Just like our most beloved child, whenever he has a good performance, we will cheer for him. But when his opponent is changed to a Bundesliga team, we will be very conflicted. We want him to play well , and worry that he will dominate the game and kick our team into the abyss of elimination. In this season's Champions League group stage, we have already experienced such ambivalence of expectation and worry, and now, we are about to do it again Facing this tangled mentality for once.”

"Kicker" also published their views on this focus battle. They believe, "Judging from the current strength and status comparison of the two teams, Tottenham is undoubtedly the favorite to advance. But Schalke 04 is not It's not that there is no chance. If they can restrain Mo's performance, Tottenham will weaken half of their offensive ability, and Schalke 04 will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Although how to curb Mo's performance has become a difficult problem for the whole world, However, as Mo's former head coach, Rangnick is very familiar with Mo, and he is aware of any of Mo's characteristics and shortcomings. Rangnick is a smart head coach, and he will definitely be able to formulate tactics that limit Mo's performance. In this regard, We will wait and see!"

The British counterparts obviously held a sniffy attitude towards this kind of argument made by the German media. Tottenham's local media "London Sports" responded in a mocking tone: "We are always creating For us, no matter how difficult it is, we will keep moving forward. Our strengths and weaknesses have long been exposed to the eyes of all European teams, and they are always looking for Ways to beat us. Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Inter Milan... They have all become our defeats. We don't think Schalke 04 is stronger than the above teams. Although they are also a long-standing history A solid veteran team, but compared with today's Tottenham, they are more than one grade behind in terms of the team lineup and the team's future planning.... As for how to defend Mo, I think Sha Erkers don’t need to waste their brain cells on this point, in London, in Tottenham, Mo is the incarnation of God, he is omnipotent! When have you ever seen God and will be found for flaws? Mo He is perfect, he will always use his light to protect the White Lily Legion!"

"God will also take a nap! In the world of football, nothing is impossible, and any miracle is possible!" The response of the "London Sports" obviously angered the German media, and the "Munich Ball" had strong words retorted, "No team will always be strong and beautiful forever. No one knows what will happen in the next second! Today's Tottenham is undoubtedly the best team in Europe. Of course you have enough Reasons to think that Tottenham will win this competition, but who can guarantee 100% that this game will not be the beginning of Tottenham's downfall? Mo is indeed very good, but he is still A player is a person, he cannot beat the opponent's entire team with his own strength. Otherwise, what is the meaning of football matches? Every time Tottenham have a game, they only need to let Mo You get on the field, other players can play poker or take a nap in the dressing room, and then wait for the end of the game to enjoy the victory. Ha, can it really be like this? I think so, because the British obviously believe that God is omnipotent. Impossible words!"

"I think the German counterparts obviously misinterpreted the meaning of our remarks. God's remarks are just a metaphor, just a compliment to Mo. In this era that needs heroes, Mo is undoubtedly the hero of White Hart Lane. A hero, he has shown his strength and greatness countless times by riding alone on the Savior. With him, we are full of confidence in victory!"

"Confidence is a very good quality, but if self-confidence is too inflated, it will become arrogance. We do not deny the strength of Tottenham, but please do not equate strength with victory. The game has not yet started. It is still unclear who will win the game. Schalke 04 has every chance to create a miracle. Their strength is not weak. There are many outstanding stars in the team, and the first round will be played in Gelsenkirchen first. We work wonders to facilitate..."

"The reason why a miracle is called a miracle is because the probability of it happening is very small. With all due respect, no matter which aspect the two teams compare, Schalke 04 seems to have no advantage at all..."

"Advantages are created on the court with both feet, not just a few innocuous words before the game!"

"No matter how you refute, the strength of Tottenham is unquestionable. Victory will definitely belong to Tottenham Hotspur!"

"Are you talking nonsense? I think so. It's really weird that the victory belongs to the British team before the game has even started..."

The British and German media launched a vigorous "war of words". The two sides criticized each other fiercely, and published reports in newspapers and TV to promote their own country's teams.What makes people feel strange is that the "war of words" in the media was extremely lively, but the two teams involved did not have the slightest word, let alone the players of the two teams stood up and made some "amazing words". ", even the staff of the club did not come out to make any statement.

In fact, the coaches of Schalke 04 and Tottenham Hotspur are not fuel-efficient. They are both passionate coaches. If they had changed their opponents, the two personality coaches would have already pinched each other.But Rangnick and Redknapp have been friends for many years, and the two teams have no feuds. In addition, Murphy and Rangnick had a good relationship before. Although the media quarreled fiercely, the two teams really There is no "hostile" emotion.The head coaches of the two teams have issued a "ghost order" within the team, requiring their respective players to only focus on training and make the best preparations for the upcoming game.

When the "war of words" between the British and German media intensified and got out of hand, the two head coaches who were so yelled at by fans and the media finally showed up in front of the media.

Redknapp said in an interview with reporters: "Any game is equally important to us, and so is this Champions League knockout match. No matter who the opponent is, we will do our best for this game. With the best preparation, we will spare no effort in chasing victory."
