Chapter 361 : The Champions League knockout is coming!

Bayern beat Kaiserslautern three goals at home. Of course, Bayern fans were very happy. They saw the majestic team in the first half of the season and saw signs of the team's recovery.

The Hornets did not give Bayern a big gap. They defeated Leverkusen with one goal at home, achieving four consecutive victories after the winter break!

He is in a hot state and looks up to the Bundesliga champions.

After the leagues of various countries, the Champions League quarter-finals came as scheduled.

On the 15th, the Champions League knockout stage began, and Ligue 1 powerhouse Lyon played against the Greeks at home, but the Greeks won a small goal and took the lead.

Leverkusen, who just lost to Dortmund last weekend, faced the powerful Barcelona at home.

Even in the away game, Barcelona also has the advantage on the field and controls the rhythm of the game. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the La Liga giants won three-to-one and entered the quarterfinals with one foot!

On the 16th, Russian powerhouse St. Petersburg Zenit played against Portuguese giant Benfica at home. This was a goal battle. In the end, St. Petersburg Zenit narrowly won 3-2.

The battle between AC Milan and Arsenal also began this evening. This is the most eye-catching game in this round of knockout matches. What is surprising is that the Serie A giants actually won four to zero!

Milan tied the team's single-game goal difference record for the Champions League, while Arsenal set the team's 222 European games loss record.

Arsenal's poor performance angered the British media, and the Sun even said: "It's a shame to the Premier League!"

Milan Sports Daily praised AC Milan, saying that they have returned to their former overlord style.

The Champions League knockout match was indeed dangerous, even a team like Arsenal was defeated by four goals.

The remaining four games in the Eighth Finals will be played next week.

...

At Bayern training base, the players conduct ball practice on the training ground, and Heinx chats with assistants on the sidelines. Their chat theme is of course the Champions League match this weekend and next Thursday.

Whenever there is a Champions League match, major European leagues will start to be upset. Although Bayern has been prepared to lose the league, this is a little later.

Now the Hornets are eyeing the back, and the gap between the two teams has narrowed from 17 points before the winter break to 13 points.

"My opinion is not to let the King play in the Bundesliga, and let Olic play, because the Champions League is more important."

The assistant gives his own opinions.

At the end of the conversation, Wang Qi's use became the last focus.

Robben and Kroos were absent due to injury, which had an impact on Bayern's offense and also reduced Heinx's flexibility in deploying troops.

"Basel... King can play both games."

Give up the Bundesliga for the Champions League?

Is Basel very strong? So strong that Bayern wants to give up the domestic league?

Bayern's opponent in the quarterfinals is the Swiss powerhouse Basel. The two teams have fought three times in history, and Bayern all won.

Does doing so increase Basel's threat?

Of course, Heinx does not agree with his assistant's opinion. Now he is just Basel. In the future, will he give up two domestic league games when he meets a giant like Manchester United and Barcelona?

If this continues, how many rounds can the thirteen-point advantage stand?

The biggest problem with fighting on several fronts is this, which is also the most troublesome thing for the giant teams, especially at the end of the season, several fronts may compete for the championship. If the coach is not careful in making arrangements, it may lose all the game.

This is also a proposition that tests the coach's ability.

"When Freiburg is playing, the king doesn't have to play."

The assistant did not give up his ideas easily. Freiburg is now at the bottom. Does a king need to win a match against such a team?

A season is very long, and there are many games played in a long season. Can it be completed by the main players alone?

Of course it is impossible.

The role of a substitute player is, on the one hand, that the main player must replace the main player when he is injured, and on the other hand, that it is to give the main player a chance to rest.

Playing with a team like Freiburg is the best chance to take a rest.

What's more, the Champions League is coming soon.

Heinx actually thought about this question a long time ago. The reason why he wanted Wang Qi to play against Freiburg was because the team's overall condition was not very good recently.

After the winter break, Bayern's overall condition could be "bad". If Wang Qi hadn't turned the tide, Bayern would have broken the Bundesliga's unbeaten golden body and would have even lost several games.

So, Heinx has become accustomed to Wang Qi on the court.

That's why he hesitated before playing against a team like Freiburg.

"Frank performed well in the last game, and with Olich and Peterson, our attack power is still strong."

The assistant teacher continued to talk about his reasons.

Ribery did a good job in the last game, not only threatening the opponent's goal many times, but also sent out several wonderful passes.

In the last goal of the last game, the French forward broke through two opponents on the left and sent a wonderful pass, creating a goal opportunity for Gomez.

Heinx took a deep breath, made a decision, nodded slightly and said, "You convinced me, and do it according to your opinion!"

...

On the 18th, the 22nd round of the Bundesliga began.

Dortmund challenged Hertha Berlin away in this round. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the Hornets won a goal and won five consecutive victories after the winter break!

At 4:00 p.m. on the 19th, the match between Bayern and Freiburg began. Heinx adopted the advice of the assistant coach, put a large number of main players on the bench and sent out a substitute.

Is the main lineup of the wealthy club strong, or is the main lineup of a civilian team strong?

Actually, this is a very interesting topic and many people are arguing about it.

After the game started, both sides were very cautious. As time went by, the pace accelerated significantly, and both sides attacked and defended each other.

Both sides did a good job in the first half and did not give the other party any chance. Both sides exchanged blank sheets and entered the second half.

After the second half began, Freiburg, who played at home, seemed to think that Bayern was just the same, thus increasing the offensive intensity.

Bayern's defense is once again tested.

However, Neuer's performance is still steady, resolving the crisis in front of the goal again and again.

After resisting Freiburg's fierce attack, Bayern returned to his face. In the 17th minute of the second half, Ribery broke through from the left and caused the opponent to foul.

The Frenchman sent a free kick into the penalty area, Peterson headed the ball, and the football went over the crossbar.

Five minutes later, Bayern made a comeback. As the most famous star on the court, Ribery showed his value, entered the penalty area and shot low, and the football slipped out!

As time went by, Bayern slowly controlled the rhythm of the game. In the 37th minute of the second half, Bayern launched an attack from the right, and Olic made a cross from the bottom.

Football magically crosses the middle lane to the back point!

Ribery, who arrived, rushed to the corner with a kick!

Surprisingly, the Freiburg goalkeeper magically saved the football from the baseline, and Bayern missed the best chance to score.

In the following time, Freiburg never gave Bayern another chance, and in the end the two sides exchanged blank sheets with zero to zero.

This is the third draw in Bayern's five games after the winter break!
Chapter completed!
