242 Bayern Munich

Unlike Li Bin's joy, as soon as the Champions League quarter-finals came out, the Serie A teams were wailing everywhere.

There are three teams in Serie A that have entered the quarterfinals. Logically speaking, there should be hope for further progress. However, when they saw the draw, the Italian media felt half cold.

Milan plays Chelsea, Liverpool plays Valencia, Manchester United plays Roma, Parma plays Bayern Munich - after the four lineups of the top eight are revealed, how do you look at the results and what hope does Serie A have?

Yes, Manchester United has been in dire straits in the past two years. Last year, they were even unlucky enough to be at the bottom of the group. They didn't even get to play in the UEFA Cup and went home to rest. However, no matter how depressed they are, they are still Manchester United. This year, something went wrong with Chelsea. Manchester United can't

Immediately rise to the top of the list? What is the chance of winning when Roma meets Manchester United? No one can tell this, but no one dares to have too much confidence.

Milan drew Chelsea, which makes people feel even more desperate. Chelsea has always been the most eye-catching presence in the Champions League in the first two seasons. Although they were frustrated by Liverpool and Barcelona, ​​no one can deny that they are the top team in the world.

Team. Although this season, because Cech is injured, their strength may be slightly worse, but Milan is also full of injuries. In this game, how can Milan compete with Chelsea?

The same goes for Parma's final game against Bayern: Bayern is the Bundesliga hegemon after all, and its experience far exceeds that of Parma. Parma has only beaten Arsenal once, but compared with Bayern, a team that has won the honor of European hegemony.

, there is still a big difference in terms of weight.

"I'm afraid no one in Serie A will enter the semi-finals this year."

The predictions made by the media are very pessimistic.

However, Li Bin was overjoyed after drawing the lottery.

Bayern Munich was selected in the draw, which can really be said to be the best draw that Parma can encounter now.

Of course, it might be better if Parma could draw two teams, Valencia and Roma. However, Valencia had just finished playing against Inter Milan. Li Bin estimated that the people from UEFA, even for the broadcast

If they pay more, they will not let them touch Serie A teams again. Although Roma is good, but in the same country, unless all four teams from one country enter the quarterfinals, it will be difficult to encounter them.

, it is inevitable that people will be suspected of walking away. Apart from them, there are the three remaining strong bones of Milan and the Premier League. Playing with these teams will be difficult for Parma to cope with. However, they met Bayern Mourinho. I hope they can still play.

Bigger. Li Bin doesn't think that his character is so strong that he always draws good lots. He doesn't count on Valencia or Roma. Bayern Munich is the best opponent he considers.

Compared with the prosperity of the Premier League, the current Bundesliga is in decline. Due to poor performance, they are now the fifth league in Europe, surpassed by Ligue 1. They are still

In 2007, the financial crisis had not yet come, and the superiority of the Bundesliga system could not be reflected. The financial constraints were very obvious. Their league competitiveness and overall level were far worse than other leagues. There are idiots in the Premier League.

The rich are constantly spending money, and the aftermath of the family-run business in Serie A is still there, while the two giants in La Liga have different personalities and status. These teams are not short of money, but the Bundesliga has a balance of payments policy and cannot spend as much money as it does now.

If you are extremely poor, your strength will naturally be lacking.

Moreover, in addition to the overall environmental reasons, Bayern is not strong now: if it were strong, they would not have only finished fourth in the league after half a season, nor would they have started last month.

Inside the team on the eve of the Champions League knockout rounds

A turmoil broke out in the locker room, and Magath, who was the first to defend the domestic double championship in the history of the Bundesliga, was fired and replaced with Hitzfeld as coach. It is not a good sign for a team to change its coach before the game. Their strength

How, one can imagine.

Moreover, Bayern Munich has just experienced Ballack's betrayal this season, and its strength has been greatly shaken. It cannot show the domineering power it should have in the league, and Bayern's management has no idea what is going on in their head, and they are dismissing Magath.

At the same time, it was also announced that a major purge would be carried out after the season. Ma Kai, Van Buyten

, Pizarro, Santa Cruz, Lyle and others are all rumored to be purged in the media. In addition, Hargreaves, who has been seduced by Manchester United, and Sauer, who announced his retirement after the season, a team has less than half of the players.

Players may leave after the season. After such a large-scale turmoil, it will be difficult to play well again.

"This is the best signing. I had the worst plan. I was prepared to play Liverpool and Chelsea, first home and then away. In that case, we would have to really defend our home court. Now

Since it is Bayern, we can try to counterattack at home. If the counterattack is good, maybe we can really enter the semi-finals."

"Bayern is not that easy to deal with, and our signings are not good either."

Esposito retorted. Everyone knows that in the Champions League knockout rounds, the best draw is to be away first and then home. The atmosphere is always much better if you have your own fans supporting you at your home court. Li Bin also knows this,

In his memory, the old rivals in the Premier League, Liverpool and Chelsea, who can win basically depends on who draws first away first

Signed by the host - What is sad is that when Mourinho was at Chelsea, Liverpool always played first before host. After he left, it became Chelsea's first guest before host, so his record against Liverpool was quite miserable.

, but a mediocre person like Grant has become the meritorious coach who defeated Liverpool - the first-off draw is a good draw for the team.

However, Li Bin just sighed and said, "Lorenzo, think about it for yourself. You also know the composition of UEFA. Those people are really willing to let us draw the first guest first."

Do you want to sign? Rossi, the biggest star in our team, endorses Nike.

The endorsements of other people are even more miserable. Arshavin actually endorses women's underwear, which is considered the only one for players... UEFA's sponsor is Adidas, and they will never let us get a good lottery.

Let's have fun in the midst of hardship, this can be considered a good thing."

"But Bayern is not as weak as we thought. They still entered the top eight teams."

"It was Real Madrid who defeated them." Li Bin said, "You have also seen the current level of Real Madrid. To put it bluntly, it would be strange not to advance when you meet them. No matter how bad Hitzfield is, he will not be promoted."

As for losing to the current Real Madrid."

Esposito wanted to defend Capello, but he didn't know what to say.

"Very good. If the opponent is Bayern, we can probably win. Bayern is a typical team with a weak midfield. Their current midfielder, Sauer is retiring and Ballack is leaving.

Karimi's form is in and out of form, Hargreaves always wants to go to Manchester United, the newly joined Van Bommel is in average form, and Dos Santos has not played at all. Such a team will be difficult to break even if we retreat across the board.

Our gate, this is the most suitable opponent for us."

In the past few seasons, Bayern has experienced some troubles. Deisler had to retire at a young age, and Ballack believed that he could not get more honors at Bayern and would go to Chelsea to compete for honors. What is more tragic is that he

Honors between Chelsea and Chelsea are also ugly. Instead, Chelsea got them as soon as he left.

Champions League. Among the remaining players, Sauer is also facing the problem of retirement, and Hargreaves, an English-German mixed-race man who obviously grew up in Canada and attended Bayern's youth training and has never returned to England, is joining

After acquiring English citizenship, he always hoped to join Manchester United through the help of sponsors.'

Returning to the British Empire where he has never really lived. Such numerous problems do not include several other people: Bastian Schweinsteiger is currently in poor condition, and Van Bommel has been unable to integrate, and the new Porto

Erski proved that the best rookie in the World Cup can win over Ronaldo, but his strength is as good as

Cristiano Ronaldo is not comparable at all, plus Pizarro is ready to leave, and Demichelis once wanted to retire after the World Cup because he was not selected for the national team. Now Bayern is a rag bag with leaks from all sides. No matter how they play, there will be problems.

Yes, I only finished fourth at the halfway point, which was already extremely embarrassing.

Moreover, during the winter break, they had just experienced an internal strife: Magath was dismissed by the players because Magath's training was too harsh - Magath is a coach whose training methods cannot be described as cruel.

, he was accused of harsh training, and his defense was: My players have never

People have been exhausted to death - physical training with the goal of not exhausting people to death is probably just such a weird thing. Players who were once coached by him publicly stated: If Magath was the captain of the Titanic, I don't guarantee that the ship would not be damaged.

It will sink, but I guarantee that all passengers will have enough strength to swim back to Southampton...

It was precisely because he was too harsh that the Bayern players kicked him off the stage. Although the Germans have always been proud of their willpower, the Bayern players are obviously not the time when the ligers were in power. Since their leaders

It was the squirrel and the pig, who obviously thought it was more important to have a good rest, so they did not hesitate to launch another special skill of German football: internal strife. And the facts proved that even Magath was unprecedented in the Bundesliga.

The coach who has defended the Bundesliga domestic double crown, even Bayern can still beat Inter Milan in the group and win the first place in the Champions League group. However, in the face of unanimous opposition from the players, the so-called meritorious coach and champion coach are nothing. Players

In the battle with the coach, the club always favors the players rather than the coach. Even Mourinho in the 2007-08 season was fired for offending the locker room, let alone Magath?

After dismissing Magath, Bayern had no choice but to bring back coach Hitzfeld. After Hitzfeld took over, he suffered a 0-3 defeat at Nuremberg in the first game. Even the veteran coach, who was used to ups and downs, said,

I didn't expect the team's problems to be so serious.

After Hitzfield came to power, he carried out some reorganizations and made the team a little better. In the Champions League, they eliminated Real Madrid and reached the quarterfinals, but in essence, their strength was still not very good. In memory,

After this season, Bayern only finished fourth in the league. They were so angry that they finally changed their stingy style and started spending money to buy people.

They bought Ribery and Toni, but even if they did, they couldn't even play in the Champions League and could only play in the UEFA Cup - however, in my memory, they were led by Arshavin in the UEFA Cup when St. Petersburg Zee

Zenit was defeated, and now that Arshavin is no longer at Zenit St. Petersburg, maybe they can win one more championship.

However, those are all things for later.

The problem now is that compared to Parma, they are only weak or not strong. When they encounter a team that can't even get into the top three in the Bundesliga, Parma has to win no matter what.

"Inter Milan, Bayern Munich... double matches a week, that's great. It's time for me to become famous. Just see how I do and win them all!"
