326 The Story of the Locker Room(1/2)

It was already 12 o'clock after I finished writing. At this time, I sent it out and there were a lot of gift coins...

-

February 22, 2012.

Basel, Switzerland.

St. Jacques Park Stadium.

"Drip, drip...drip!"

Nikola Rizzoli, a gold medal whistle from Italy, blew two short and one long and three whistles.

1-0.

International practice: the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.

Looking at the score on the big screen in the sky, Heinx waved his arm helplessly, turned around and shook hands with Basel's head coach Fogel.

Swiss fans in the stands sang their team songs.

"The competition is over!"

He Wei, who was thousands of miles away, sighed:

"Never before the game would have expected that Bayern Munich, who has big-name players such as Robery, Gomez, Ram, Neuer, Muller, Kroos, and Timoshchuk, would lose to Basel in an upset. For Bayern, who just lost the top spot in the league, this must be a double blow..."

“…”

Tao Wei, the guest who was a commentator with him, was already so shocked that he couldn't speak. Although he looked at the screen, his eyes obviously lost focus and felt a little empty.

Where did Bayern Munich, who was so powerful that the whole of Europe was shocked at the beginning of the season, went?

-

“Beep.”

Long Shute turned off the simulated game scene in his mind, shrugged, and sat up from the sofa.

The statistics of the game have been clearly presented to him.

Basel and Bayern have a ball possession ratio of 43% to 57%, and Bayern still firmly controls the situation.

Throughout the game, Basel could only threaten Neuer with a few counterattacks, but it was the last chance of four counterattacks, which allowed them to send the football into Neuer's wicket.

Why did Bayern lose?

Those main players started the game like history, and it seems that everyone is in good shape, but... why did they lose the game like history?

He didn't know, and the system didn't tell him the answer.

If it weren't for his own part of Bayern, he would even suspect that these players had participated in a fake ball incident together.

But he knew even more that this was impossible, Ribery, Robben, Gomez, Ram, Muller, Neuer... How could these players allow their dignity to be trampled on so much?

Maybe this is football.

Too many factors can affect the results.

You are obviously ten times or a hundred times stronger than your opponent, but you may not be able to defeat him 100%.

If you let Bayern play with the Chinese team a hundred times, it is very likely that Bayern won 100 consecutive victories...

-

The league was behind Dortmund, while the Champions League lost to the unknown weak team, making Bayern, who was already in a bad situation, even more at the forefront. All comments stood on their opposite side:

"The giant killer appeared again, and the last giant club eliminated by Basel was called Manchester United!"

"Bayern in this state still wants to enter the Champions League final held at Allianz Arena?"

"Gomez didn't score goals in four games, Robery only knew how to fight alone, Kroos was invisible throughout the game, Muller was unable to make the situation, Alaba's offense and defense were misaligned, Dimoshchuk was useless, Ram could only pass back, Rafinia lost its status in advance, Bad and Boateng had no tacit understanding, Neuer attacked blindly... What is Heinx's tactic?"

"What is lost is the best. In contrast, Van Gaal is really a tactical genius!"

"It is definitely a mistake for Bayern to choose Heinx, whose tactical ideas are outdated and backward!"

"From 2 points ahead of Dortmund in the first half to 2 points behind now, who will take the blame for the current passive situation?"

"Hynx, although I am very grateful for saving Bayern many times, please leave now!"

"Sentences cannot be eaten as food, modern football does not require sentiment!"

"Why have the garbage team like Bayern been touted as the second largest team after Barcelona and Real Madrid in recent years?"

"No offense, no defense... Why am I disappointed with Heinx's Bayern?"

"Schweiser Steiger or Longsen? Who are the key men of Bayern who are absent due to injury?"

"Exciting news! The core battle between Long Shute and Robben is the biggest reason for Bayern's decline in performance!"

"The locker room is undercurrent, Robben, Heinx, or Dragon? Who will become Bayern's first departure?"

"From the championship Grand Slam to the double-line defeat, choosing Bayern may become the biggest failure in Longshute's career?!"

"Ram, Ribery, the piglet can't wait! Heinx owes them a championship!"

"Crisis! The quarrel was revealed in the locker room meeting after the game. If you don't win, you may change your coach immediately!"

...

Although the gossip is often made out of nothing, at this time, even the most optimistic Bayern fans will think that the club is in a storm.

Last season, all four major players made Van Gaal step down in a panic. If he repeats the same mistake this season, Heinx would never leave the game with a decent look.

Of course, for Bayern, an insignificant champion like the German Cup is not within their considerations. If you want to keep the coach, you must at least win one of the league and the Champions League. At least you cannot lose hope of competing for the trophy in advance in February.

As the media described, on the day after losing to Basel in the Champions League, Bayern, who returned to Munich, held a closed-door meeting.

Sports director Neringel personally chaired the meeting. He repeatedly emphasized the great significance of unity and discipline to the team, and then wanted to use honor to stimulate the players' desire to win.

But this group of players is definitely not without desire to win. Their problem may be... Most people's desire to win is too strong, which leads to the situation where everyone is the main focus and the whole team is in a mess.

It is also inevitable that quarrels will break out in this situation.

Ribery took the lead in firing, accusing Robben of invading his space too much and rudely robbing the serve of the free kick on the left.

Robben pointed the muzzle directly at the head coach. He accused Heinx of transferring Ram from behind this season and always swaying in the right back use, which led to Boateng, Rafinia, and even Alaba not forming the best tacit understanding with him.

Gomez and Muller believe that the two wings support the forwards too little and seize too much firepower, resulting in Muller's goal count this season is less than one hand...

The back line complained that midfielder teammates did not work hard when defending, especially Kros, a young man who likes to play elderly health balls. As long as he is on the court, Bayern is almost as short of one person to fight when defending.

Goalkeeper Neuer was also full of complaints: Bayern's defenders are tall and slow to turn. If they face Reus and Gotze's skillful offensive players, they often cannot even support a round and are easily broken through. Neuer often becomes one-on-one with the opponent's forward if he is not careful this season...

The more the teammates argue, the more angry they become. If it weren't for the respected club's No. 1 boss, Henes, was sitting next to him, it wouldn't be surprising even if they fought.

Since he has been recuperating in the past two weeks and has not participated in the competition, Long Shute and Schweinsteiger were just listeners at the beginning of the meeting.

"Don't you say a few words, Bastian?" Long Shute turned his head to look at the piglet, but the latter shook his head.

Although this double-level deputy from Bayern and Germany has a typical Germanic face, he is a good person who is unwilling to speak bad things in his personality. It may be difficult for him to criticize his teammates in person.

So Long Shute coughed.

But... none of the teammates who were quarreling with him...

So he stood up and dragged his still sore right leg to jump onto the conference round table!

"Bang!"

There was a dull sound echoing in the conference room, but the quarrels were temporarily suppressed by the dull sound.

Hones frowned, but said nothing.

"What are you going to do?"

Nelinger asked harshly.

The sports director regretted it at the beginning of the meeting because he found that he could not control the players at all!

"Silence a little."

Long Shute successfully attracted everyone's attention, and then he sat on the table.

"I don't know what you are arguing about. Are you summarizing the results of this season?"

He grinned, sarcastically sarcastically:

"Does our league have no hope of winning the championship? Or have we been eliminated in the Champions League? None of them are? Then why do each of you look like a dirty face?"

"I suddenly want to tell you a story, Alger, and Frank."

His eyes passed by Robben, who had a gray face and Ribery with a hideous face:

"There was a player who became a professional player at the age of 20 and signed with him a club in a declining second-rate league. This was originally a hopeless place. But perhaps God blessed him, when he was 21, he won the Champions League with his 'luck'."

He deliberately said the word "luck" very heavily and slowly, and then continued:

"But he knew that it was absolutely impossible to defend the Champions League again in such a small club that lacked financial support, so he transferred to a top European club with many top players. He thought with these teammates, they could form an invincible force and bring all the championship and glory back."

Long Shute's words turned around:

"But he didn't know that those teammates were famous and had better skills, and their tempers were greater than each other. Everyone thought they were the best in the world and felt that as long as they handed the ball to themselves, they would definitely be able to solve the battle, so they didn't need to cooperate with others. For them... maybe they were just to make up enough players to play?"
To be continued...
