Chapter 972 German Cup ([-])

On May [-]th, the final of the DFB-Pokal officially kicked off at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. Although it was only an internal match in Germany, it still attracted the attention of many people. After all, everyone thought it was a preview of the final battle of the Champions League.

It is precisely for this reason that a large number of media around the world are focusing on this game. Many TV stations have sent their strongest broadcast team to broadcast this game. Even the Chinese themselves said that this is also The most watched game since the establishment of the German Cup.

The reporter stand was full of famous journalists and professional football players from all over the world. Since the leagues of various countries have ended one after another, and the European Cup is getting closer, many players and coaches also appeared in this place. Some of them were affected The TV station invites them as reposting guests, and some of them are to watch their favorite players next season, so it really looks like a football carnival from a distance.

The most surprising thing is that not only the head coach of the national team like Loew, but also people like Wenger, Ferguson, and Mourinho appeared in the stands. When everyone noticed their appearance, they immediately thought of countless It seems that the target of their attention should be one person.

Schalke already won the championship once last year, but because they did not face any strong challenges, they were regarded as just an addition to the league championship. Who would have thought that things have become like this this season, so the morale of the whole team is also showing soaring.

Magath's lineup has been decided long ago. In the last league game, he hid most of the main players and was already guessed, but this time they were obviously right.

Naturally, the lineup is still the 4-2-3-1 that Schalke has shined in the Champions League recently. The goalkeeper is still Zhang Chong from China. The back line is from right to left. Spanish giant Escudero, German central defender The combination of Howides and Metzelder, the Italian full-back Criscito, this defense has proved to be very successful, and their cooperation is becoming more and more proficient, but many people outside think that this combination will not exist for long. They have all become the targets that various giants want to compete for.

Midfielders Gundogan and Fuchs played as defensive midfielders. It is reported that Bayern is very interested in Fuchs. They really want to introduce this player, but because the door of the transfer market has not yet opened, Schalke The game is not over yet, so both sides are still only in the intention stage.

Mata and Joaquin are on the left and right wings. These two have become the real wings of Schalke in recent games, but Mata has become the target of the outside world. It is said that on the day the league ended, Schalke The club has received inquiries from at least three clubs.And Joaquin once again attracted the attention of the Spaniards because of his outstanding performance in the final stage of the league. The head coach of Valencia has said in public that he hopes to return to Valencia to help his own team. , and Atletico Madrid are also very interested in him.

Ai Huan is still standing in the front position, and the rumors about his transfer are the fewest, but even Schalke fans think that Ai Huan is the most unsafe. His current terrorist attack power has swept across Europe. Such a super player's 8000 million is absolutely unstoppable. Although the club has recently started contract renewal negotiations with him, the news from the club has made everyone feel helpless. It is said that Ai Huan's asking price is very high, which has already exceeded the club's price. within the acceptable range.

But even if the club says so, Ai Huan still exists like a god in Gelsenkirchen. There are even a large number of fans who say that this kind of performance must be done with a salary increase. Huan left, after all, his value is too high, which is beyond most people's expectations, but it can also be seen from the side of Ai Huan's influence in Gelsenkirchen.

This incident is like what the mayor of Gelsenkirchen said, every time the door of the transfer market opens in the past two years is the moment when we feel that we will lose Ai Fan, unless we can see it in the next home game He played again, otherwise we can only keep praying, hoping that God can stay a little longer, and we can't do anything except this.

On the front line, it is not Raul who has always been identified. This time Magath sent Demba Ba. His performance in the last game was average, and he has not been squeezed into the main lineup recently. Sending him to play in the game really made many experts feel a little speechless.

However, the news about Demba Ba's transfer is equally overwhelming. After all, he also scored more than a dozen goals this season. Although his state has declined in the second half of the season, it does not mean that no one is interested in him. .

Bayern also set up exactly the same 4-2-3-1 formation. Heynckes sent all the main players he could send. The goalkeeper was Schalke's main goalkeeper Neuer last season. Boateng, Bud Stewart and Alaba, midfielder Gustavo and piggy Schweinsteiger formed the midfielder, Robben, Kroos and Ribery formed the former Yangtze River Delta offensive combination, Ge Max is Bayern's main striker and naturally he will not be ruled out.

The only thing that surprised everyone was that Muller did not play, but it was still a bit weird to many real experts. After all, this was just a German Cup final. Do Bayern really want to go all out?

Mourinho's assistant coach in the stands asked softly, "Jose, Bayern's formation is beyond your expectations?"

Jose Mourinho sneered, "It's true that Heynckes is a good coach, but his limitations are obvious to all. He still can't put his face down in this game. He always feels that he is Bayern. If he changes his That way of playing will be said to be showing weakness to Schalke, but in fact winning is the most important thing. The current Schalke is not the team that they were allowed to beat casually at the beginning, Magath The record of wins against Bayern has always been high, and those players among them are currently at their peak. If you want to use this style of play that is mainly me, it is simply death, not to mention there is Ai Huan. "

"Can neither Gustavo nor Schweinsteiger control him?"

"Are you kidding me?? If someone dared to say that he can defend against Ai Huan, then the price of this person would have already broken through the sky." Mourinho replied with a smile, and then the smile disappeared. Without saying a word, if it is really that simple, can Ai Huan be worth so much money?
