Chapter 402 Psychological warfare before the game

Author: Sanjingshou

At noon on Monday, the Bayern Munich players' special plane stopped at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam.

The Bayern men's team in suits and ties just got off the plane, causing a burst of screams from the fans.

In the past two years, Bayern's fans around the world have gradually begun to increase, which can be seen intuitively from the sales of jerseys.

But more than 66% of jersey sales belong to Rossi alone.

It can be said that the driving force behind Bayern's expansion of global influence is Rossi.

Bayern, which has received a generous reward, certainly hopes to retain Rossi and is currently conducting multi-party negotiations.

But Rossi’s agent responded decisively.

Not renewing the contract!

Only a few people within the team knew about this news. Once it was made public, it would cause internal turmoil within the team and affect results.

Bayern had no choice but to continue mediating.

After checking into the hotel, Heynckes immediately held a press conference.

In the announced first-team roster, Robery was absent due to injury, and James and Tolisso were also exempted. This has a considerable impact on Bayern's overall strength.

Regarding the team's injuries and fatigue, Heynckes just smiled lightly and said: "This will not affect our game. We have enough good players to rotate."

"Of course, the position will be fine-tuned after the rotation. This is what we do in daily practice."

After hearing his answer, the media immediately asked: "What adjustments have you made to your starting lineup for this game?"

Heynckes leaned back, crossed his hands on his chest, and said, "You want to know the starting lineup? Of course, no problem."

After finishing speaking, Heynckes announced the starting lineup for this game.

Generally speaking, in order to ensure that the tactics are not leaked, the starting lineup is usually announced one hour before the game.

There are still more than 30 hours before the game starts, and the opponent has a lot of time to study.

This also reflects from the side that Heynckes is confident about this game.

Retona Sanchez appeared on the starting lineup, which surprised many people.

Bayern has many options on the wing. Coman and Rossi are the first choices, and after Robbery, the Portuguese teenager comes.

This time, Retona actually beat Koeman and appeared on the starting list, which instantly attracted the media's interest.

But Heynckes was unwilling to reveal more, leaving the media and opponents to guess.

The reporter, who didn't have much information to dig up, shifted the topic to Ajax's golden boy.

In the last match, the defense led by De Ligt made Bayern's powerful forward line collectively misfired, and also caused Rossi to fall into offside traps many times.

Heynckes put his hands on the table, dragged his chin, and said easily: "At that time, I was just a retired ordinary old man, so I was not qualified to evaluate the performance of the two of them at that time. Now I am the head coach of Bayern, and I am looking forward to the meeting between the two of them tomorrow."

Duel."

In the face of the media, this group of "old Jianghu" behaves with ease. No matter what you want to hear, I will only say what I want to say without finding any flaws.

After the press conference, it was already afternoon, and Heynckes led the team for open training at the stadium near the hotel.

Not only the starting lineup was announced, but the training content was also disclosed.

Anyone else would have long been labeled as being careless and underestimating the enemy, and being extremely stupid.

But this man is the famous coach Heynckes!

He would not make such a stupid mistake unless he had dementia.

The video of Bayern's public training soon appeared on the desk of Ajax coach Ten Hag.

Regardless of whether it is a conspiracy or not, since others have made it public, you have to read it.

If you don't look at it, you will be the one who underestimates the enemy and is careless.

Bayern's training consists of routine training content, nothing special.

Ten Hag closed the computer and pinched his nose bones with his fingers to relieve fatigue.

I wasted another hour and gained nothing of value.

Ten Hag secretly scolded the staff for putting it in front of his desk without reviewing it, which was a waste of time.

When he thought about it again, he felt vaguely that he had been tricked by this old man.

He was so angry that he slapped his hand on the table.

In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, with less than 20 hours left before the game, the Ajax head coach and team captain attended the pre-match press conference.

Ajax, known as the "Arsenal", has cultivated a large number of stars through its youth training system and is well-known in Europe.

Frenkie de Jong and De Ligt, as the twin stars of Ajax, have attracted the attention of European giants.

Especially Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt, who just won the Golden Boy Award, is already worth close to 80 million at the age of 19. It is said that Juventus and Barcelona are interested in recruiting him.

He was full of confidence against Bayern Munich.

The flashing lights in the audience made coach Ten Hag's bald head shine especially brightly.

As soon as the two sat down, interviews from the media started pouring in.

As the final round of the Champions League group stage, the match between Ajax and Bayern Munich is undoubtedly a focus battle.

This is not only about whether the defending champion can make it out of the group stage, but also attracts attention from the teams that lock in the qualifying group in advance.

The first-place team in the group hopes that Bayern can lead by 3 goals and avoid playing against them.

The second-placed team in the group can just pray that Ajax can maintain a draw at home.

None of them want another "tragedy" from the defending champion.

Ten Hag was unusually calm, with a confident smile on his face.

When the two teams met in the first round of the group stage, he led his team to conquer the Allianz Arena and caused a big upset.

This former coach of Bayern's second team was not well-known, but after defeating Bayern, he stood in the middle of the Allianz Arena, with his hands in his pockets and looking around.

This image is engraved in the hearts of every Bayern fan.

Arrogant, domineering, domineering, a bit like the villain Obadiah Stane in the movie "Iron Man".

This is the intuitive impression Bayern fans have of him.

But Heynckes didn't think so.

Running the army with an iron fist is Ten Hag's greatest strength.

The most important thing for a team is the stability of the locker room. How to manage the locker room and suppress the team's big names is the first problem the head coach needs to solve.

Ten Hag did a good job in this regard.

Facing the swarm of questions from media reporters, Ten Hag was in a good mood and answered with a smile.

When a media asked him whether he was ready to defeat Bayern, his expression showed a subtle change.

Are you ready?

What does this question mean?

The opponent has already announced the starting lineup and training. If Ajax loses again, it means that he, the head coach, is not prepared and is derelict in his duty!

Only then did he feel Heynckes's scheming.

"We have been preparing and preparing seriously for every game, not just because the opponent is Bayern."

Ten Hag's answer was quite pertinent, but there was a stubbornness in his tone that refused to admit defeat.

Subsequently, the media turned the conversation to De Ligt, who had just won the European Golden Boy Award, and their feelings about competing on the same stage with the 2016 European Golden Boy winner, Retona Sanchez.

"To win the Golden Boy Award, his strength is extraordinary. I am looking forward to playing with him, learning from each other and beating him."

This is a contest between golden boys, and De Ligt seems confident.

Now Retona Sanchez is a semi-main player in Bayern, which is somewhat inconsistent with his golden boy status.

[Let’s talk about Rossi, you guys are facing off directly. 】

De Ligt smiled with a hint of disdain and said: "His offense is very good, but I am confident that I can guard him."

Oops!

As a sigh of relief came from the press conference, the eyes of the media reporters suddenly brightened.

Because he found the gimmick of this news.
Chapter completed!
