I am Crazy About Money in Football

"Can I trust you?"

Suddenly, Grande looked at Ye Feng seriously and asked.

Although Ye Feng didn't quite understand what Grande meant, there was no second answer to this question.

"Of course you can believe it."

Grande lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and then when he raised his head again, his expression had a hint of fanaticism unconsciously.

"If we strategically abandon these two Bundesliga games and focus all our attention on the game against Manchester United, then can you guarantee that we can win at least one of the last three Bundesliga games!"

No one can absolutely guarantee victory in a game, no matter how high your winning rate is, this is common sense in football.

But now Grande needs Ye Feng to give him an answer.

Ye Feng finally understood what Grande meant.

As long as he promises him that he will win at least one of the last three games, Grande will make a decision.

It can be said that I can completely influence Grande's judgment.

Maybe if it were someone else, you would never be able to give people assurance easily because you don’t have absolute strength.

But Ye Feng is different!

"You can make any decision and I will win any game you want to win."

Without a trace of hesitation, Ye Feng assured Grande categorically.

Grande took a deep look at Ye Feng and then made a decision.

Patting Ye Feng on the shoulder, Grande left.

Ye Feng stood there and looked at Grande's back until Grande's figure disappeared from sight, then he chuckled and then turned around and left.

The next day, Grande announced the squad and starting list for the game against Leverkusen in training.

All the main players were not selected, and those on the list were all young players who had not had many opportunities to play, and there were many who were temporarily transferred from the second team.

This means that Grande gave up the game.

His decision is to prepare for the Champions League with all his strength.

Ye Feng smiled!

Although there is an element of gambling involved, Ye Feng will definitely turn it into a sure-win gamble.

If I can't win three games, I can really retire directly and just be a loser!

That's what we should do. If Grande doesn't choose the Champions League, Ye Feng will be disappointed.

When the media announced Bayern's attitude towards the game, German football public opinion did not criticize Bayern one-sidedly.

Even speaking, for the absolute majority of German fans, Bayern's approach is very suitable for them.

After all, German clubs are not strong in European football. Even Bayern has not won the Champions League for a long time. If it can really win the Champions League, it will be an honor for German football.

As for saying Bayern doesn't respect the Bundesliga, wait until you steal Bayern's championship first before you say that.

However, it is not without controversy.

First of all, Dortmund and Schalke 04 are full of complaints.

Three teams, Dortmund, Shakhtar and Pharmaceuticals, are vying to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Only two of them can stand in the Champions League next season.

Now Bayern has directly given up the game against Leverkusen and handed over three points. This is not good news for the other two teams.

Especially Schalke 04, because their lead over Leverkusen is too small. If they don't perform well in this game, they will be surpassed by Leverkusen in every minute.

Although Dortmund has a slight lead, they still don't want to see Bayern give points to Leverkusen.

So the current controversial voices are coming from these two teams.

However, the controversy of public opinion cannot make Bayern change its mind. Now that the choice has been made, there is certainly no reason to change it easily.

If Bayern really loses the Champions League for the sake of the league, it will be called more losses than gains.

On the day of the game, even with three Bayern teams playing, the Allianz Arena was still full.

Who doesn’t expect miracles to happen?

If these young people defeat Leverkusen, wouldn't Bayern already win the Bundesliga championship trophy?

Even with this idea, even Bayern players who cannot play are full of hope.

If you lose, you will be calm and not surprised. If you win, you will make money.

The young Bayern players who played are also full of hope. They hope that they can decide the championship by themselves. They hope that they can contribute their own strength to the team's championship.

However, strength is still king in football after all. No matter how high the fighting spirit is, it still cannot affect the outcome of the game when the strength is very different.

Therefore, Bayern lost in the end.

The young players who gritted their teeth and tried their best only lost one goal to Leverkusen's veteran. It was this goal that prevented Bayern from winning the championship in advance in this game.

When the young players walked off the court in despair, Grande walked over and hugged them one by one.

"Keep your head up!"

"If you think this is a failure, you will always be a failure."

"Your performance is great. You can be proud of being able to push Bayer Leverkusen, who has done their best, to this level."

"They are a giant club competing for Champions League qualification."

"I believe that after the training and baptism of the game, your progress will be faster and faster. When you meet them again on the field in the future, you will definitely win."

...

For young players, encouragement must be the main thing. It would be unfair to measure the performance of young players based on the outcome of the game.

Moreover, Grande didn't lie. He really felt that the young players played very well. After all, they had only played in the third-level German Bundesliga before, which was very different from the Bundesliga.

Don't say that Ye Feng is an exception. There is no one like Ye Feng.

Today's game is destined to become a valuable asset in their career experience and may even affect their lives.

Ye Feng actually applauded the performance of the young players in the stands, even though he himself is actually a young player.

Many of the players on the field were his former teammates in the German Bundesliga 3. Compared with when he was in Bayern's second team, everyone's strength seemed to have made great progress.

Ye Feng was sincerely happy for them. Although Ye Feng had the best relationship with Mueller, it did not mean that his relationship with other friends was bad.

Perhaps, it won't be long before these young players will leave Bayern's second team and look for their own futures.

I don’t know what the scene will be like when we meet next time.

I don't know why, Ye Feng suddenly felt very sentimental, as if he had experienced the changes of spring and autumn.

...

After the game, the media and public opinion still hyped it up. After all, there are still many people who have not watched the game and do not know the specific details. A wave of shock will only attract some attention.

After all, the battle between the teams competing for the championship and the teams competing for Champions League qualification can be regarded as a highlight.

So after deliberately ignoring the fact that Bayern has all the young players in the second team, there is too much to do.

For example - "Bayern failed in the title race, but Leverkusen made a strong move into the top three."

Another example - "Sitting on the sidelines, Ye Feng and the acting head coach have to talk about the conflicts."

Anyway, for those journalists who never care much about reputation, sales are everything. As for whether the things they report and comment on have happened or not, they don’t care much.

Of course, this kind of eye-catching news can only be timely. After the mass media reports the details of the game, fans will suddenly realize that this is what happened.

After a day of excitement, the news of this game has disappeared, because a larger wave of traffic is on its way.

The Champions League semi-finals are about to begin.

This time, Bayern’s opponent is Manchester United from the Premier League.

This game is destined to be a battle between dragons and tigers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the pinnacle battle in European football.

Three days in advance, the entire Manchester United team arrived in Munich and prepared cautiously.

And Bayern does not dare to be careless at all. This first round of competition is likely to determine who can make it to the final.

...

"Do you know anyone at Bayern?" Ye Feng asked captain Lahm.

Ram shook his head. Although he didn't know why Ye Feng asked, he still answered like this.

Ye Feng nodded. In fact, he just asked casually.

Because when he was watching games as a child, he always envied the way players from both sides talked cordially and cared about each other in the tunnel. It felt like everyone was old friends off the court.

If it is slightly better in the Bundesliga, at least a large part of them are Germans. Everyone has a common language, and after playing for two seasons, even if they are not so familiar, they still know each other more or less.

After all, they may have been at each other's throats on the court. After all, they may have played tricks on each other on the court, and they may have even drawn swords on each other. It would be a bit nonsense if they didn't know each other at all when they got to the court.

But because the accumulation was too short, after leaving the Bundesliga and entering the European competition, there were almost no acquaintances at all.

So every time he saw captain Ram chatting cordially with his opponents, Ye Feng imagined that one day he could do the same.

Ye Feng really doesn’t know anyone in the Manchester United team.

Although he has been preparing for the game in the past few days and has been watching videos of Manchester United's recent games at night, and sometimes he can get some news about Manchester United from the news, so Ye Feng can recognize most of the players of Manchester United.

But when it comes to meeting, it really doesn’t happen once.

There are no Germans in the Manchester United team!

Well, there are no Chinese either!

Ram definitely didn't know what Ye Feng was thinking. If he knew that Ye Feng was so boring, he would definitely stay away from Ye Feng quietly to avoid being infected by Ye Feng's various inexplicable quirks.

Now, the whole Bayern team is preparing seriously to face Manchester United. Even if based on paper strength, Manchester United is not even ranked in European football, but if you really underestimate Manchester United, underestimate it. That old man standing in front of the Manchester United coaching bench, you will definitely pay the heaviest price.

The fact is that Manchester United's lineup is indeed not good.

Take a look at Manchester United's starting lineup predicted by the media.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, after winning the Champions League, his form plummeted due to age and other factors. He is about to have a grandchild. How can he jump as high and far as young people?

Of course, in terms of the goalkeeper position, before Neuer arrived, Bayern actually had nothing to show off, and everyone was just half-assed...

On the back line, the center back combination is one of the top in Europe. The combination of Ferdinand and Vidic is far behind Bayern. After all, this position is Bayern's weakest link.

But apart from the centre-back, no one from Manchester United can compare with Bayern!

Bayern's two full-backs are Alaba and Lahm. One has unlimited talent and the other is among the top three in the world. How do Evra and Rafael compare?

In the midfield position, even if Carrick and Park Ji-sung are tied together, it is not enough for Ye Feng to drink alone.

Even though many people think that Carrick is an underrated midfield master, it turns out that his current ability is not as good as that of Xiaozhu, who is also an organizational midfielder.

On the wing, Giggs and Valencia are so old that they can hardly fly, and the two can't do anything except cross. How can they be the opponents of Bayern's devilish wings?

You know, the gap between the wing combination of Robben and Ribery and the title of the strongest wing combination in world football is only one Champions League championship.

Perhaps when Bayern really wins the Big Ears Cup this season, the two of them will officially become gods.

On the front line, Manchester United is a combination of Hernandez and Rooney, which seems to be no worse than Bayern, especially Rooney. After Ronaldo left, he completely let himself go and directly launched a charge towards the top center.

Of course, this is just a look. At least Rooney's scoring efficiency is not as good as Ye Feng in the midfield...

Judging from the lineup comparison, Manchester United's chances were almost completely crushed, which even the English media had to admit.

But the problem is that Manchester United has never won with its lineup.

Manchester United is a typical system team. As long as Ferguson is still the head coach of Manchester United, Manchester United will always be a championship-competitive team.

Otherwise, how could they win the Premier League and reach the Champions League semi-finals with their lineup.

Chelsea, Manchester United's opponent in the quarterfinals, has a much more luxurious lineup than them.

Even when Manchester United won the Champions League two seasons ago, their lineup had nothing to show off except Cristiano Ronaldo.

Therefore, if you speculate on Manchester United's strength based on the lineup, it is absolutely a crazy idea.

...

"Bayern and Manchester United are on fire and the war is about to break out."

"Ye Feng VS Rooney, the superstars decide the direction of the game!"

"The Champions League championship is the best retirement gift Ferguson gave himself."

"Is this a suspicious formation? Ye Feng is suspected of being injured during training and is doubtful for the battle!"

"Manchester United lost Ronaldo and Bayern gained Ye Feng. This is the only difference between the two teams."

...

The media was reveling in the excitement. Before the game, various news about the game attracted the attention of the fans and hyped up the atmosphere of the game.

Various comment articles are also emerging one after another, analyzing the possible winner of the game from various angles.

What lineup, what referee, what head coach, what pre-game diet, even from the weather point of view, they can all speak clearly and clearly. You have to admire the clever thinking of these media practitioners!
