There is a belief called football

Florence!

This city should be known to everyone. As the center of the European Renaissance, anyone who has gone to school will see this name in their textbooks.

The city has three major characteristics - food, beauty, and a long history.

But Bayern Munich players have no time to appreciate all this when they come here. Li Qiao found that Sammer's army is stricter than Klopp. For example, if the team performs well in Dortmund, at least the players have time to relax, but in Bayern, this is impossible. Unified collective activities.

Arriving in Florence, the first thing Summer did was to take the players to the "Frankie Stadium", which is a bit... How should I put it?A bit dated and arguably not up to modern football standards.

The entire stadium is like a big dustpan, facing the sky on all sides, without any rain-proof facilities, which means that you can only bring your own rain gear to watch the game in this stadium.

But fortunately, Florence is a famous sunny city, and there is really not much rain here. When watching Serie A highlights, I often find a very interesting thing, that is, whenever Florence plays, the goalkeepers of both sides will wear a baseball cap, because the sun is too dazzling.

According to the weather forecast, the day of the game was sunny in Florence, which is good news for Summer.

After stepping on the field, Summer handed over the task of leading the team to the assistant coach, and he led the technical analysis team to start work.

In Bayern Munich, the way the coach works is a bit different from Dortmund. In Dortmund, the technical team is also served by assistant coaches, but in Bayern, there are three independent technicians. Their task is to help Sammer analyze everything about the game.

After analysis, there are only two people who attracted attention in this Fiorentina team-one is the Slovenian international "Ilicic", and the other is their head coach-the Portuguese "Paul Sousa".

Who is Paul Sosa?It's hard to explain because if you've seen Portugal's golden generation (Figo, Rui Costa, Nuno Gomez, Deco, Maniche, etc.) then needless to say, if you haven't it's hard to imagine.

It's like we've heard Pele is good, but none of us know how good it is.

Let's put it this way, he is Portugal's "Simeone", a successful player who has successfully transformed into a coach.

Faced with such an analysis, Sammer nodded his head to express his approval. In addition, Sammer mentioned a name, which is the powerful forward "Babacar" from Senegal. Like Ilicic, he is a player with good skills and excellent body.

In addition, Bayern's technical team can't analyze anything. The overall decline in Serie A has greatly reduced the ability of Serie A teams to attract talents. If you look at Fiorentina's player list, you may shake your head and say: "I don't know".

*****

This game attracted the attention of the Chinese media. It is very simple. There are Chinese on both sides of the war. Bayern is Li Qiao, and Florence is "Ding Mu".

You may ask, facing the competition of "Ilicic" and "Babacar", does Ding Mu still have a chance in Florence now?

Of course, this is just like Ibrahimovic was in AC Milan back then, but Inzaghi has his own value of existence.

If it is a tough battle, then a strong striker like Babacar is the first. If it is a positional battle or a counterattack, then an opportunist like Ding Mu will be useful. However, Ding Mu will definitely not start this game because the opponent is very strong.

Before the game, Li Qiao's cell phone rang. It was a message from WeChat. When he slid open, it was the WeChat group of the Chinese national team.

"What should I do this time? I don't know who to support. The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Both teams have players from the Chinese team."

"Support Li Qiao," Qi Bing said, accompanied by a smirking emoji.

Another person sent an emoji of Erkang, "Why?"

"Because Li Qiao used to be the buddy who slept on my upper bunk",

"Pfft", everyone complained.

Everyone said something to each other, and the conversation was very lively, but the parties involved - Li Qiao and Ding Mu, did not speak.

"I said Li Qiao, is Ding Mu there?"someone asked.

………….

Still no answer.

"Everyone said, in the hot football market of our Chinese Super League, if Li Qiao and Ding Mu come back, how much will it cost?" !

This topic is very slippery. On the one hand, it arouses everyone's interest because it is about "money", and on the other hand, it is making comparisons, which seems to hurt feelings.

Someone said: "I guess Li Qiao's words, someone is willing to buy 1 million euros."

Another person said: "Ding Mu, I estimate 4000 million."

"What about me?" Qi Bing asked.

"You estimate that it will be 500 million euros if you are exhausted."

"I'll spray you to death with a sip of ice soda," Qi Bing said.

Everyone sent "haha" emojis one after another.

When I was having fun, someone chatted with Li Qiao in private, clicked on it, and it was Ding Mu, "Welcome to Florence, I was supposed to treat you to dinner, but the coach is so strict that I can't get out."

Li Qiao chuckled: "I am the same, as long as you want to, you don't have to eat."

"Are you starting?"Li Qiao asked.

There was a pause, "I don't start",

Li Qiao felt very sorry.

"But I may still play, don't think we will be subdued when we see Bayern",

Li Qiao still hehe, "Those who can enter the Champions League are not easy to deal with."

Ding Mu has always regarded Li Qiao as his role model. Li Qiao has won the Champions League now, and he is a veritable number one brother among Chinese players. Ding Mu envies Li Qiao at the same time as his goal.

In fact, Ding Mu's two seasons in Serie A, his strength is obvious to all. His goal next season is to go to Juventus. Of course, to achieve this, it is not enough to excel in the league, the important thing is to excel in the Champions League.

Ding Mu didn't chat with Li Qiao, but said goodbye and got off.

Li Qiao saw that other people were still talking freely, and they were talking about unnutritious content, so Li Qiao turned off the phone to mute and ignored it.

*****

After the game started, Sammer was stunned. The expected battle turned into an encounter, and Bayern was strongly resisted by the opponent.

Paul Sosa formed a 442 formation, with 4 engineer midfielders lined up, and 4 defenders forming two lines of defense.

The forward line is as expected by Sammer, "Ilysic" partnered with "Babakar", but different from Sammer's expectations, these two players are not so much as forwards, but as repairs.

In other words, they often return to defense to make up for the gap. In this way, the 11 players on the Fiorentina field are all for defense. Paul Sosa has thoroughly studied Bayern!

At 20 minutes into the second half, Paul Sosa made a substitution, and it was this substitution that made him praised by the media as a master like Guidolin after the game.

He replaced "Ilysic" with "Ding Mu", and it was this substitution that kept Bayern from retreating in the away game.

*****

"Chinese"?Sammer pondered in his heart.

Ever since he got to know Li Qiao, he had a certain liking for the Chinese players, but at the beginning it was just a liking. But after a closer look, Sammer found that this little guy was unusual. Every time he moved, he was very characteristic. Instead of fighting for the ball, he went behind the defensive player. Yes, he was betting on the defensive player's top.

This is a typical opportunist. It’s like the arctic fox in the Arctic staring at the grizzly bear hunting from a distance. If the grizzly catches too much salmon this time, the arctic fox is the one that can’t eat. If not, then it can only be hungry.

The same is true for Ding Mu. His survival depends on his opponent's mistakes. This makes Summer a little worried. He is very afraid of Boateng's mistakes.

Every time Fiorentina's goalkeeper "Tatarusanu" takes the ball, he looks for the front striker with a big foot. The reason is also very simple. Fiorentina's midfield and defense have been pressed into a line.

Overlooking from a high altitude, there are no clear three lines in Florence now. The only thing that exists is two teams, one team defends, and the other team prepares to participate in defense.

This time "Tatarusanu" took the ball and drove it to Bayern's left half, which is the side defended by Boateng.

Boateng retreated while watching the ball. He instinctively spread his arms, like an eagle protecting his food, to control his sphere of influence.

I thought it would be foolproof, but unexpectedly, Boateng did not meet the Fiorentina striker to compete with him for the top. Looking around, there were no players within 5 meters of him.

Boateng was amused at first, and then changed his mind. At first, he just broke the ball out of the sideline first, but now that the situation is so easy, he wants to control the ball.

It is always bad to have too many ideas. Boateng jumped up and realized that he was not high enough, but you have no focus in the air, so what else?

Ding Mu behind him finally found a good opportunity. He quickly broke into the penalty area with the ball, and there was a strong enemy in front of him-Neuer.

At this moment, Ding Mu was very calm, surprisingly calm, Neuer wanted to pounce, but what he thought was extraordinary.

Stepping on the ball with his left foot, followed by his right foot, Neuer knew he forgot, unless there was a foul or the opponent didn't score, otherwise...

In the end, such a situation did not happen, and Ding Mu pushed the ball into the empty goal, 1-0.

After scoring the goal, Ding Mu ran to the stands and raised his arms and shouted. Summer looked helpless, "Punishment for the arrogant", he thought to himself.

Indeed, since the start of the season, Bayern has not lost a game, and it is impossible to say that the players have no self-aggrandizement at all.

Maybe this pot of cold water came just in time.

1 to 0 is also the final score. Bayern suffered a defeat in Fiorentina, and the form of Group E has also become confusing. People's expected Manchester City and Bayern's tale of two cities has gradually become the Three Kingdoms.

At the press conference after the game, Sammer just said that the loss was his responsibility and left in a hurry.
