Midfielder

"The arrogant Germans lowered their high heads." This was the most frequently reported headline by the English media after the match between Chelsea and Bayern Munich. This was also a true portrayal of the match.

Those English reporters will not praise the German spirit. In their view, if you lose the game, you have lost. What is the use of talking about the ozone layer? The door guarded by Kahn was knocked three times by Chelsea.

Don’t you, Bayern Munich, claim to have conceded the fewest goals in the Bundesliga? So why was he kicked like this at Stamford Bridge?

If Chelsea's forwards had not wasted several opportunities in the second half, the score might have been even more exaggerated. Although the Bundesliga leader scored a penalty kick, so what? Can failure be saved?

Didn’t Magath say he wanted to end Chelsea’s unbeaten record at Stamford Bridge? What did he do? Only Ballack's penalty kick can cover him up, except for penalty kicks? What did Bayern Munich's core midfielder do again?

Under Makelele's close marking, Ballack basically became an invisible man throughout the game.

Apart from contributing three shots, he had no other performance at all, let alone coordinating the team's offense.

Let's look at Lin Yi's performance. That's what a midfield commander should do. That kid sent a total of 87 passes in the whole game. Although the number is not as exaggerated as usual in the Premier League, it is relatively low. Judging from the success rate and the degree of threat created, you will clearly know that these 87 passes gave Bayern Munich a lot of headaches.

There were a total of eighty kicks to pass the ball, but the accuracy rate was as high as 95%. Moreover, this kid's passes were not meaningless cross passes or backcourt passes. Every time he took a kick, he was heading towards Bayern Munich. Let go of the weakness.

Even Frings, who has always been a strong player in Bayern's midfield, complained to a familiar German reporter after the game, "That black-haired kid is like a devil. I can't even see his shadow." Can’t catch it!”

Not only Frings complained, but Hargreeves also complained. Almost all of the two of them's energy was consumed in entangled with Lin Yi. Even so, they couldn't really stop the kid from causing trouble.

Lin Yi's game can be said to have made many German fans know him, because under the joint attack of the two Bayern players, he is still the protagonist on the court, and his black hair has become the most eye-catching color on the green field. .

Kenyon got to see Lin Yi's appeal after the game. Because this kid is getting better and better in competitive form, Chelsea's No. 20 uniform has been sold out for the third time this season.

According to Mendes, Lin Yi is like a mobile cash machine. Every game he plays may drive the club's ticket and jersey sales. Only three times a season? This is actually not surprising at all.

Just look at the mobile phones endorsed by that kid. Because of the youthful duo of him and Selena, Nokia's sales in Europe increased by at least 20 percentage points in the new quarter. This is still the most conservative estimate.

"If Chelsea lets go of Lin Yi, it will be its biggest loss. The value of this kid is just emerging. In the days to come, this kid will become a money-making machine that everyone will envy."

Of course, Mendes is not a capitalist, and he will not try his best to squeeze Lin Yi's value. For a little guy who is not yet eighteen years old, he still has at least fifteen years of bright future, but the premise is that there is no injury. sick.

Now the Chelsea club has specially equipped a private nurse doctor for that kid to facilitate the coordination with Faria's training plan. Whether Lin Yi's health can be guaranteed is definitely the top priority of the Chelsea team.

Even Mourinho pays attention to Lin Yi's physical data from time to time, but this kid is indeed a little crazy recently. Whether it is training or actual combat, when others are starting to feel tired at the end of the season, he is very energetic.

Anyway, the sharper Lin Yi's mental knife is, the further Chelsea will go in the Champions League.

As for Bayern Munich, who had been defeated by them in the first round, no one thought they could reverse it.

Journalists in England have always been so unkind, especially before the game. Those Germans also said in newspapers and TV that without Mourinho's on-the-spot command, Chelsea would definitely be in disarray.

In fact, not only the German media, but also many football commentators and reporters also predicted this game.

In their view, without Mourinho, a cunning guy, Chelsea is bound to be in chaos.

But they forgot that Mourinho is no longer there, but there is still an apprentice brought out by Mourinho on the court.

That kid is even more threatening than Mourinho. When he is on the court, he is tougher than anyone else!

The beasts at Chelsea used cruel facts to educate the arrogant Germans. Things on the football field are not determined by your predictions. Strength! The green field is a place where you can conquer all opponents with strength!

The ridicule of the English media at this moment is to ridicule those who underestimate Chelsea and underestimate a group of beasts. You will eventually pay the price! Three to one is just to teach you a lesson, and I will let you say goodbye completely in the next round!

Faced with the clamor from the English media, the Germans seemed very silent, and even they themselves were embarrassed to say anything.

What else can you tell? In the ninety-minute game at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea had proved everything with the score. Is there anything more to say now? Bayern Munich was defeated by their opponents, that's the fact.

Magath is a standard "madman" on the football field. This is a recognized fact in German football. However, after this game, the German media gave Magath a brand new nickname for free, "Arrogant Madman".

"Bayern Munich died from the arrogance of its own attitude at Stamford Bridge." Although the score of 1 to 3 can be recovered at home in Magath's opinion, it is almost dead in the eyes of many German media.

“As a bystander, it’s hard for me to understand why Bayern can act in a somewhat arrogant manner when the team’s forwards are out and the team’s overall strength is significantly lower than its opponents. When facing Chelsea, don’t forget, we are playing the first leg at Stamford Bridge.”

It is estimated that even the German media, which has always prided itself on being rigorous, severely stepped on Bayern Munich's away defeat this time. In their view, this failure was entirely due to problems with Magath's tactical arrangements.

"For a veteran team with forty years of experience in European competitions, such a sense of psychological superiority is always hidden in their hearts in a rather subtle way. Although they have not said it out loud, they have always been thinking this way. ”

"After all, compared with Bayern's glorious record of winning the three major European Cups, Chelsea, with its pale history, is like an upstart in their eyes. It was this arrogance that made Magath choose offensive tactics in the away game."

But in the end, Magath learned a lesson. Everyone saw it. Without Ballack's penalty kick at the last moment, Bayern Munich might have been sentenced to death by now.

After such a disastrous defeat, Bayern Munich may be able to find a lot of past glory to awaken their confidence in a comeback at home. After all, their predecessors have staged too many great counterattacks.

For example, reversing Hungary in the World Cup final, and defeating France after falling behind by two goals in overtime.

Many German media are calculating for Bayern Munich how likely they are to reverse at home, but compared with the Germans' careful calculation, Mourinho and Brito said this when studying the next round of the game.

"The two-round knockout format gives both sides more opportunities to prepare mentally. Bayern Munich wants to rely on its own tenacity to come back? This possibility is of little use to Chelsea at least."

Mourinho knows very well how tough the players he has brought out are. Just look at the games Chelsea have lost this season. You can know that a small loss by one goal is the limit. Do you want it to collapse? That's simply not possible.

Although Mourinho was still unable to take command in the second round, after experiencing a tough match at home, Brito finally felt confident, not to mention that his players were not afraid of their opponents at all.

Especially Lin Yi, who said in an interview, "What predictions do you have for the away game a week later? Do you still need to ask? Apart from winning, Chelsea does not consider other results. ”

"It is our plan to advance to the semi-finals. As for how scary Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena is, it has nothing to do with us. All we have to do is win the game away from home and then lock in the semi-finals. That's it."

When Lin Yi said this, the German reporter who was responsible for interviewing him planned to kindly remind him that the Allianz Arena had only lost once this season, and Bayern Munich was not that easy to deal with.

"Didn't you lose once? Don't worry, after a week, this loss will become twice."

These were the last words Lin Yi left to the reporter. The German's jaw probably dropped to the ground.

Lin Yi made it clear that he was challenging Magath. Especially when he heard that guy declare that he would solve Chelsea in half the game, Lin Yi already knew what he should do. Did he still need to think about it? Damn it!

Let us renew our relationship at the Allianz Arena in a week. Lin Yi has long been prepared to leave a deep memory for the Germans in the away game. He must let them know clearly that Chelsea will not be allowed to be ignored by others.

What can the Bundesliga boss do? When you get to the court, you will still be able to relax! If you don’t believe it, just wait and see.

Anyway, Lin Yi didn't intend to save face for anyone, especially his opponents. . .

(Kobe Bryant is very powerful. He had to rely on this guy to defeat the Hornets. Although he was injured, when he dunked, he still showed the explosive power of Peter Pan...)
