Super Marshal

In the morning, before training, there was a lot of chatter in the locker room.

All the Bayern Munich first-team players gathered around Schweinsteiger curiously and were a little puzzled.

Is this guy a masochist?

"Hey, let me tell you, Bastian, did you take the wrong medicine today?" Captain Kahn asked with curiosity on his face.

"Who took the wrong medicine?"

"You took the wrong medicine. You came here early in the morning and trained yourself to look like this. Do you still have the strength to train?"

As soon as Kahn finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

is not that right?

When they came, they saw that this naughty boy in the locker room had trained himself to the point of sweating for the first time. Wasn't this because he had taken the wrong medicine?

"What do you know? I'm trying to improve myself, practice more, and start a small game, do you understand?" Schweinsteiger looked like you don't understand, so don't make fun of him, but it made people around him feel even more confused. funny.

"But, Bastian, if you are like this, will you still have the strength to train later?" Ram asked with a smile.

Schweinsteiger waved his right hand and said, "Tsk, it's just a little amount of exercise. For me, it's just a warm-up."

"No, I just heard that you ran around the training ground a lot to warm up? When did you have such courage?"

"That's right, I also heard that you offended our coach and were punished, right?"

"Who said that?" Schweinsteiger became nervous, "Who said I was fined?"

After a pause, the new defensive midfielder who was just halfway through his transformation said again, "Am I going to play as a defensive midfielder? So I want to improve my physical fitness. You said, a deep-lying midfielder, physical fitness Is it okay if it’s not good?”

Everyone nodded for a while, these words were really justified.

How could he have such an awareness despite his normal behavior?

"Needless to say, from what I know about you, there are only two possibilities." Ram obviously didn't believe him, "Either you have been punished and dare not admit it, or you have been broken up in love and are venting your excess in this way. Energy, it’s your choice.”

The entire locker room burst into laughter.

Bastian Schweinsteiger, who is usually very active in the locker room and smooth-talking, was now questioned by Lahm and couldn't even answer a word. He was immediately speechless.

In fact, he was fined.

Just now, he heard head coach Gao Han patting him on the shoulder, pointing at him and saying, you are you, what I want is you. He was so moved in his heart that he just burst into tears of gratitude, right?

Can it bear fruit?

The vengeful head coach turned around, stood up, patted his butt and said one sentence.

"Didn't you just say that you haven't warmed up yet? Go ahead, warm up your body, and continue running around the training ground until your teammates arrive. Of course, I am very democratic. You can also choose not to Run, but wait for the training session..."

With nothing to do, Bastian Schweinsteiger had no choice but to run.

Thinking of this, he felt his tooth hurt.

Fortunately, I was almost moved by you and almost cried, but you turned against me and were so heartless, it was too much!

You actually intimidated a young player. Is there a head coach like you? Can he still have the bearing of a head coach?

Isn't this just a joke to you? As for retaliating against me like this?

I really didn’t expect you to be such a person. I misjudged you!

Schweinsteiger dragged his tired body out of the locker room following his teammates.

He saw the head coach standing on the training field from a distance, and looked at Gao Han with an extremely resentful look. He was extremely hopeful that the head coach would be able to realize it at this time. Considering that he had just run for such a long time, he should Take a proper rest and reduce the amount of exercise. At the very least, there is no need to warm up.

Unexpectedly, Gao Han was so thick-skinned that he ignored his look and motioned for them to start warming up and prepare for training.

Schweinsteiger almost cried now.

How much he regretted why he had to tease the head coach just now? Can't you just tell me if you have something to do?

It's all the fault of bad mouth.

…

"Hey, have you noticed that something is not right about Schweinsteiger today, especially the way he looks at you?" Cantarero was the most sensitive and attentive person, and he immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Yes? No? Isn't it the same as usual?" Gao Han pretended to be dumbfounded, but he almost laughed out loud in his heart.

Brat, are you kidding me? I don’t even think about who is the boss of the team!

After returning to Bayern for three days of training from Dusseldorf, the team immediately set off north to Stuttgart.

According to the rules of the League Cup semi-finals, both the league champion and the German Cup champion have the advantage and can play at home. This time Bayern Munich will challenge the league champion Stuttgart.

After this team won the championship in an upset last season, it also went through some reorganization, sold a number of players and introduced nine players. The overall strength of the team has been improved to a certain extent.

However, although Bayern Munich was playing away from home, the opening attack brought trouble to Stuttgart, especially on the two wings. Robben on the left seized an opportunity in the eighth minute, forced a breakthrough and passed in From the back point, Ribery pushed in and scored, opening the scoring for Bayern Munich.

After that, the Bundesliga giants continued to adopt their own pass-and-control style, trying hard to control the ball and rhythm.

Stuttgart fought hard and used aggressive pressing to fight Bayern Munich.

But as the game progressed, Gao Han's attention was gradually attracted by one of the opponent's players.

"Thomas, please help me see if that number 28 is Sami Khedira?" Gao Han asked with concern.

Thomas Tuchel took a closer look and nodded: "It's him, that's right."

"But why did he play behind? And he was still a single midfielder." Gao Han was a little confused.

If he remembered correctly, Khedira should have played as an attacking midfielder last season. Why is he now a single defensive midfielder?

"Stuttgart has changed their style of play this season and should have adjusted Khedira's position."

Gao Han nodded slightly and took a quick glance at Khedira's data. The potential was only 170, which looked relatively ordinary, but his teamwork and competition input were quite high. He was obviously a very capable executive. player of.

The basic skills are very solid, and his passing and receiving skills are also reasonable. The most important thing is his running and covering without any effort.

For a player with a height of 1.89 meters, speed and explosive power are definitely not allowed to be too much. However, Khedira's running at a constant speed is quite good, and his response awareness is also very good. It can be regarded as Stuttgart's high-pressure tactics under Bayern Munich. , one of the few bright spots.

Of course, perhaps in the eyes of many people, Khedira has almost no bright spots to speak of.

"What's wrong?" Thomas Tuchel was a little confused.

Because Khedira looks pretty average. As a single defensive midfielder, he has coverage, but he doesn't make much contribution defensively.

"This is a very smart player. He is always running and seems to be doing a lot of useless work. But if you pay close attention, you will find that he is often running in our passing line or opening the door for his teammates. Defensive focus.”

Thomas Tuchel was stunned for a moment, and then he really looked at it carefully.

As a result, after Gao Han's little breakthrough, he really found out that things were exactly as Gao Han said.

"This player is both offensive and defensive. He seems to be versatile, but a bit mediocre, but his brain is definitely good." Gao Han smiled appreciatively.

Thomas Tuchel was a little surprised. He had no doubt that if Gao Han's words spread, Khedira would definitely become famous overnight, and even his worth would skyrocket.

"It's just... kicking the midfielder, what a pity." Gao Han shook his head with some regret.

…………

…………

Gao Han's regret for Sami Khedira did not prevent Stuttgart's defeat.

Bayern Munich entered the halftime break with a 1-0 lead in the first half. In the second half, they continued the team's style of play, actively adopting tactics of passing and controlling and high-position pressing to firmly control the game.

Gao Han also intended to use his opponents to practice the team's tactics, so he did not make too many changes and adjustments. Therefore, throughout the second half, Bayern Munich firmly controlled the situation, but only scored one goal.

In the end, this semi-final ended with Bayern Munich defeating Stuttgart 2-0.

In another game, Schalke 04 scored four goals in a row after conceding one goal first, especially before the end of the first half, scoring three goals in a row, and finally won the game 4-2. An astonishing reversal to meet Bayern Munich in the finals.

Three days later, the German League Cup final took place at Leipzig's Central Stadium.

Van Bommel was suspended after accumulating yellow cards in the semi-finals. Gao Han was forced to adjust his tactics and use Toni Kroos to partner Modric and Bastian Schweinsteiger to form a new midfield three.

However, during the game, Schalke 04 adopted very fierce fighting tactics, which made it difficult for Bayern Munich to effectively control the ball. On the contrary, Schalke 04 frequently seized on Bayern Munich's mistakes to launch counterattacks.

In particular, forward Kuranyi and midfielder Rakitic got opportunities to hit the goal, but they were resolved by goalkeeper Neuer, trying to keep the goal.

However, Bayern Munich's passing and control also made many mistakes under the opponent's high pressure, and they were never able to create opportunities.

Until the 31st minute of the first half, Hummels made a long pass from the backcourt. Robben came in at high speed from the left. After receiving the ball, he entered the penalty area and passed the ball low to the goal. Klose picked the ball After passing the opponent's central defender Kostakic, he calmly pushed and scored.

After that, Schalke 04 made a crazy counterattack, and Bayern Munich began to regain its position. It still adopted a pass-and-control style of play in the midfield and backcourt, and patiently looked for opportunities.

In the end, after 90 minutes of hard work, neither side could score again. Bayern Munich finally defeated Schalke 1-0 and won the German League Cup.

But after the game, not many people will care about the ownership of the cup championship. They are more concerned about the situation reflected during the game, that is, Bayern Munich played relatively passively throughout the game and did not have many decent offensives.

The only goal in the game came from the player's personal performance, which disappointed many people.

On the contrary, Schalke 04, both the team as a whole and the players have performed at a very high level and even had an advantage on the field. This has also made many people full of confidence in Schalke 04's performance this season. expectations.

Gao Han also said in an interview with the media after the game that Schalke 04 did perform well.

"We didn't perform at our best level, but I never worried about that because I knew we would get better as the games went on and as the league went on."

At the same time, Gao Han also said that this League Cup championship can bring confidence to Bayern Munich, and the return of three players who participated in the World Youth Championship can also greatly increase the team's strength.

"The new season is about to start, and I believe everyone will see a different Bayern Munich by then."
