476: Drogba is a great actor on the pitch!
On the night of the finals, Bayern welcomed his defensive player Van Biden, who had been absent due to injury for a long time. He was ready to play.
"We lost the game two years ago, and at home we have enthusiastic fans, so I think it's special, when you play at home, you turn the pressure into motivation.
I scored five goals in half a season. I have the genes to play center in my blood. I also have a good understanding of positioning balls. I think the coach should let me try a higher position in this game.
Of course, I don't think we need me to score because we have a lot of the best offensive players in the world."
Bayern celebrities also talked about their views on the finals.
Former Bayern Munich striker Ma Ke believes his old club will win the final victory: "They have a great chance to win the championship, and the home advantage is undoubtedly an additional motivation.
It is incredible to be able to play at home in the Champions League final. It has never happened. Bayern players are the top players, so they definitely want to keep the trophy in Munich.
I think Wang will become the player who will ultimately decide the game because he has proved this in many important games. I know clearly that many media talk about him again during this period, thinking that he has never experienced such an important game as the Champions League final, so he is very likely not able to fully perform at his level in the game.
They took out the first half of the German Cup final as a certificate. In the first half of the German Cup, the king did not shoot a single shot, and there was no other flash point except for a few crosses from the wing.
But those who hold this view forgot the second half of the German Cup. Wang found the rhythm of the game in the second half and used a hat trick to help Bayern win the championship.
So I think even if the Champions League final king performed poorly in the first half due to nervousness or other reasons, please don’t worry about Bayern’s supporters, because he will explode in the second half!”
Austrian midfielder Herzog played for Bayern in 1995-96. He once followed Bremen in the 92-93 season to reverse Bayern and won the championship in the penultimate round. He said: "Bayern has some problems with the defense this season, but they have the strongest front line, so I think it will be Bayern who will win the championship in the end.
Because we all know that Bayern wants to achieve the triumphal title, and now the opportunity is in front of them, I think they don’t want to miss it!”
German midfielder Barack, who has played for the final rivals Bayern and Chelsea, believes that although Chelsea is relatively weak, they still have the possibility of winning the cup in the end: "You can look at their odds against Barcelona. Now it seems that Bayern is also popular, and has home advantage and experience. But Chelsea knows their strengths, they have a difficult season, their performance over the past few weeks shows what they can do, and they have an incredible belief in winning."
On the 19th, the day before the game, UEFA arranged a pre-match press conference in advance.
Bayern coach Heinkes said: "This is our last game of the season and the championship we want to win the most. Fans also hope that we can put the championship trophy in Munich, and they write their own voices in the streets and alleys.
So, all we have to do is win the game and leave the trophy in Munich.”
When talking about the lineup, the coach said: "Gustavo's absence has had a great impact on us, but Cross can retreat to his position, and Muller replaces Cross, so if we look at it this way, our strength has not been greatly affected.
Whether Ribery can play depends mainly on his recovery. I don’t rule out letting him play on the bench, because he repeatedly told me that he doesn’t want to miss such an important game.”
When talking about Chelsea's powerful striker Drogba, Heinkes believes that the Ivory Coast center Drogba in Chelsea will be the biggest threat: "Drogba has been the top scorer in the Premier League for so many years. He is very dangerous and can score goals at any time.
In addition, Mata, Lampard, Sturridge and Karau are all high-level players, and Torres, who have achieved great improvements."
Heinx then bluntly accused Drogba of being an "actor", saying: "Sometimes, Drogba is an excellent actor on the court."
Heinkes also said that Chelsea acting coach Di Matteo is a very good coach and his work will make Bayern difficult to deal with: "We should not forget that he has a very calm attitude on the road to leading the team forward.
I personally think that he is doing a cool job of controlling the team, and he can blend in harmony with the players, which is a very important feeling."
Heinx also supported Di Matteo's "recommended" and said: "He did a fantastic job, and you should see his results regardless of winning or losing. You need continuity, and I don't think anyone would object to him continuing."
The next appearance was Chelsea acting coach Di Matteo, who believed that it was very difficult to defeat the home team in Bayern's territory, but Chelsea was ready to defeat the opponent.
"It's hard to win tomorrow because Bayern is a very good team, they play at home, are familiar with bad situations, turf and locker rooms. They have the best defense, you can't just say four goals in one German Cup.
They have done a really good season and we have to play well to beat them. We try to play the best game tomorrow and strive to beat them.
If both teams suspended players can compete in the finals, you will find two better teams.
We realized that Bayern has a lot of great players, very strong, and playing at home, which may be a little advantage for them. But we have a lot of great players, and I think we have the same chances as Bayern."
Many names are linked to the Chelsea coaching position, including Guardiola and Capello.
Dimateo revealed that he has not even talked to his boss Abu about the future.
"We don't have time, or it's not appropriate to talk about this before the Champions League final. We're focusing all on how to succeed.
I don't know how to control the future, so I focus all my attention on this final. I won't think about my personal matters, I will try to think from the perspective of the team and the team.
Maybe it's a little selfless, but I do think so. What happened to me this season is completely unpredictable, and it's hard to think that a former Chelsea player will take control of Chelsea in the future."
Due to the suspension of captain Terry, the team's deputy Lampard will lead the team to Bayern with the captain's armband. Di Matteo said: "Lampard is simply amazing. Whenever the team needs him to stand up, he always stands up.
At Camp Nou, he showed outstanding leadership and was a natural leader. I think he is the right candidate for the Chelsea captain in the Champions League final."
Heinx said Drogba was an "actor", and Drogba immediately denied it: "So far, not. Bayern has a great coach with rich experience, and I respect him very much, that's all I said."
