Midfielder

Chelsea can get a moment of respite before the big battle, which may be a good news for them who may lose Mourinho, but Bayern Munich does not have the same luck as Chelsea. They still have to grab points in the league. They can't relax at all in the remaining rounds of the league.

The huge lead has allowed Chelsea to land early. Even if they lose the next few games, it doesn't matter. Failure now can't shake their possibility of winning the league championship, but the Bundesliga giants now lead the standings by only five points, and teams such as Leverkusen are still struggling to catch up.

Anyway, Bayern can't be careless now, otherwise, if they are not careful, they may lose the league championship trophy.

Not to mention whether Magath will allow such a situation to happen, even Bayern's board of directors cannot tolerate such a thing. After all, after a large investment, their goal is to reshape the glorious era of winning the Champions League.

You have to know that the mid-1970s was the golden age of Bayern Munich. Winning the Champions League three times in a row is also a glorious page in the history of the Champions League. It is the representative of German football.

Therefore, Bayern Munich does not want to give up on either the Bundesliga or the cup, including the Champions League, which they want to embrace.

It is only four years since they last won the Champions League. After buying players such as Ballack, the giants of the Bundesliga are plotting another restoration. Now that they have reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, it is a good opportunity.

In this round, Bayern Munich will face Wolfsburg, whose strength can only be regarded as the lower level of the Bundesliga. In the first half of the season, they easily solved their opponents with a score of 3:1 at home. It seems that this may only be an asymmetric game. It seems that it is not difficult for Bayern Munich to win.

If this game is put in the middle of the league, Wolfsburg may only be slaughtered on the grass by Bayern Munich, and even they themselves will not deliberately fight to the end with the boss of the Bundesliga. After all, such a game really has no chance of winning, and they don’t need to devote all their energy to entangle with the opponent.

But now is not the beginning of the league, it is the end of the Bundesliga season, and the teams competing for the championship are desperately grabbing points. Similarly, those teams that have not yet been able to relegation also want to get ashore as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Wolfsburg is now one of the many relegation teams, and their relegation situation is still very bleak.

They are now only one point away from the relegation circle. With the last five rounds of the league left, in addition to winning every game, they have to fight hard even for a draw, even if they have to face the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, otherwise they don’t know what will happen tomorrow.

You must know that in the next few rounds of games, Wolfsburg only has two games at home, and the rest are all away games.

And there are two games against the same relegation teams, so they dare not slack off at all, and must strive to get every point, even if the opponent is Bayern Munich, they have to risk their lives to fight.

In such a game, Wolfsburg can only choose to fight with their backs to the wall, and this is still at their home court.

As the only two home games, Wolfsburg can only fight hard. Anyway, these guys are ready to fight Bayern Munich to the death, but Magath doesn't seem to care about it.

Now the Champions League game that will start on Wednesday is what he cares about most. As for Wolfsburg, it is obviously not within his consideration, and this tough guy obviously wants to use the opponent to complete the warm-up preparation before the big game.

When Magath rushed to the away game for this game, he sent all his main players. Ballack, Kahn and others were all in the starting list, including Pizarro, who had just recovered from injury recently, and was also pushed to the front line by him.

It can be seen that compared with Greg, who was promoted from an amateur team, Magath obviously trusts Pizarro's offensive ability more. Greg and Hashemian can only be backups, and Pizarro and Makay are the main choices.

But Magath obviously underestimated Wolfsburg's ambition to fight to the death at home, especially in the opening stage, while these big names under his command have not recovered yet, the opponent has already pounced on them with fangs and claws.

If it weren't for Kahn's saves in front of the goal, they might have fallen behind in the first ten minutes of the game. You know, Wolfsburg had six consecutive direct shots in the first ten minutes of the game.

Lucio and Kovac, the two main central defenders, were embarrassed by the opponent's impact style, especially Lucio, whose face was almost twisted with anger after being shot by the opponent.

"Fuck! What are you thinking! Why didn't the midfielder intercept! Just let these guys come like this!"

With Lucio's temper, he didn't care who he scolded. Anyway, he was so embarrassed by the opponent's attack, so he had to find a scapegoat to vent his anger. The midfield led by Ballack naturally became the target of his anger.

Not only did Magath himself not expect the opponent to fight so hard, many Bayern players were also confused by the opponent, including Ballack, who has always been regarded as the soul of Bayern's midfield, and they were also confused by the opponent.

Although Magath kept loudly reminding the players to concentrate on the sidelines, it seemed to be of no use under the opponent's fierce bombardment. Bayern Munich's midfield found it difficult to organize an effective counterattack in a short period of time.

Wolfsburg's attack never stopped. Their three attacks after the opening were really fierce. Even the defense of the Bundesliga leader was chopped into pieces by them, and it was in chaos.

Kahn is not an omnipotent God after all. Although he is the patron saint of the team, the goal he guarded was finally penetrated by the opponent's continuous attack in the 26th minute of the first half.

Lucio and Kovac's consecutive headers failed to defend this wave of attacks. The opponent broke through their defense with six consecutive crosses, and the opponent's forward's supplementary shot finally broke through Kahn's ten fingers.

Although Bayern Munich equalized the score with Makaay's goal ten meters in front of the goal after the start of the second half, the rhythm of the game has not been in their hands, and Magath's three substitutions have not been able to reverse the passive situation.

And the worst thing happened in the 70th minute of the game. Pizarro suffered an ankle contusion due to a physical confrontation with the opponent's defender, and finally had to be carried off the field on a stretcher.

This injury completely disturbed Magath's heart. Not only was Bayern Munich tied 1:1 by the opponent away from home, but he also received bad news after the game. This contusion may require Pizarro to rest for ten days.

However, in the interview after the game, Magath still kept silent about Pizarro's injury. After all, he was also looking forward to a miracle. If Bayern lost this main force of attack now, this away game would definitely be difficult to play.

Pizarro's injury was enough to make Magath depressed. Makay's old injury also showed signs of recurrence after the end of this game. In order to equalize the score, the Dutch shooter was also thrown to the ground by the opponent's goalkeeper.

If it weren't for this guy's strong sense of self-protection, he might have been more seriously injured than Pizarro.

But the ankle sprain also requires him to rest for about three days. Although the team doctor said that it would not affect the away team Chelsea's Champions League game, no one can guarantee what kind of competitive state Makaay will be in when he plays.

Now, whether Magath is willing to consider the possibility of Greg playing or not, he must be sure to take this guy to Stamford Bridge. After all, compared with Hashemian, this guy who came from the amateur league is more reliable.

But whether he can rely on this guy to knock Cech's ten fingers, even Magath himself is not sure. He can only hope that Makaay can recover quickly, and this time Mourinho is not on the sidelines, which can make the opponent feel flustered.

Otherwise, according to the game status of Bayern and Wolfsburg, their away trip this time may encounter great troubles, which is not as optimistic as those German media estimated.

Magath's trouble is Mourinho's happiness. Anyway, he has confirmed that he can't command on the spot, but this guy is still studying Bayern's game, but he is very happy to watch the game between Bayern and Wolfsburg.

Not only was he happy, Lin Yi, who watched the game with him, was also very happy, because the Bundesliga boss played too hard in this game, and even the final draw was a lucky result for them.

And when they saw Pizarro injured and left the field, the master and apprentice had a smirk on their faces, and Brito, who was watching on the side, was quite speechless. There was no way, everyone who was Chelsea's opponent would be treated like this.

"If there was no Pizarro's charge in the frontcourt, Bayern's frontcourt offensive ability would be much weaker. Although Greg's personal ability is good, he still has too little experience in such a big game."

Mourinho can now finally cross Pizarro's name from the notebook in his hand. At least this guy can't play in the first round. Relying on Mackay's high point alone, he wants to win free space from Terry and Carvalho's double-team? It can only be said that Magath is too naive. Even with Greg, it would be difficult to do this.

Lin Yi was not interested in who would be Bayern's main striker. While watching the game, he focused all his attention on Ballack. He knew that guy was the engine of Bayern Munich's midfield.

Although Mourinho did not tell him anything, Lin Yi knew that this game would probably be a stalemate. In the absence of an absolute advantage in physical confrontation, whoever has stronger creativity will likely win.

And the contest between him and Ballack would probably dominate the final result of the game. The German running on the field has now become Lin Yi's next prey.

Maybe there won't be too many scenes where the two of them collide head-on on the field, but Lin Yi is ready to get rid of this dual core of Germany and Bayern at Stamford Bridge.

"It's just another opponent, no big deal." When Mourinho and Lin Yi mentioned Ballack, Lin Yi answered casually.

Mourinho didn't say anything after that. He knew what kind of freak he had taught. Not many people could make him angry. In the end, let the 90-minute game verify all this.

Winning or losing, for both teams, is just a 180-minute contest. . .

(The Heat can basically be sure to sweep, but the test will only start in the second round. . .)
