Seven Hundred and Sixtieth Chapters Roll Calf

After the 3-0 match between the two sides at the Allianz Arena in the first round, everyone is very much looking forward to the second round at St. Mary's Stadium, and the two sides were also arguing before the game.

For example, Guardiola said that Bayern Munich still has a chance, and the away game will definitely come back.

Even the generals of the Bayern Munich team and the club's top executives have also expressed their views that the team still has the possibility of reversal.

But what about Southampton?

Also not to be outdone, even Bielsa, who has never been good at expressing his position in front of the media, very rarely replied, we have never lost at St. Mary's Stadium, such a domineering statement.

But no matter how the two sides fought before the game, how the media created momentum, and even the media of the two countries almost entangled this game with England and Germany for many years, the real battlefield is still on the football field.

Compared with the first round, the two sides have hardly changed at all.

Not only has the lineup not changed, but even the starting tactics have not changed at all.

At the beginning of the game, Bayern Munich, who played away, took the lead in grasping the initiative of the game.

Southampton, who played at home, patiently organized the defense and let Bayern Munich attack.

This made the Bundesliga class bullies feel very helpless, because they found that the iron wall that could not be broken in the first round, still failed to break through in the second round.

At this time, even the on-site commentator at the St. Mary's Stadium acted as a tactical master, unceremoniously pointing out Bayern Munich's striker, thinking that Thomas Muller is not suitable for playing center at all.

Bayern Munich's striker problem has been around for a long time. At the beginning, they wanted to introduce Mandzukic but failed. Since then, they have not been able to find a suitable center. It was not until recently that Lewandowski was freely introduced from Dortmund.

But if the Bundesliga striker wants to play for Bayern Munich, he has to wait until next season!

Don't look at Bayern Munich has always controlled the ball, but in fact, they didn't get the first shot until the 25th minute, but Ribery's shot was obviously very crooked.

Within half an hour, Bayern Munich had only one shot.

On the contrary, Southampton, who is absolutely at a disadvantage in possession of the ball, had a total of three shot opportunities in the first half hour, and hit the goal twice.

The offensive efficiency of Bielsa's team is still very high!

But what really changed the situation of the game happened in the 36th minute.

Hazard made a breakthrough with the ball from the left, which caused a foul by Rafinha and won a chance for Southampton to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Toni Cross came to take the penalty, and Harvey Martinez was in the penalty area. With the cover of Varane, he overwhelmed Dante and scored with a header, opening the scoring for Southampton!

This score was eventually maintained until the end of the first half.

In the second half, Guardiola finally couldn't bear it, made adjustments, pulled Lahm back to the defense, and handed over the burden of the entire midfield to Schweinsteiger and Thiago.

Obviously, this is a desperate gamble!

It's just a pity that Schweinsteiger failed to take on this heavy burden, Bayern Munich also failed to solve the old problem of weak front, and made many mistakes in the frontcourt. In the 71st minute, he seized the opportunity twice in a row, counterattacked and scored.

The heroes of the goals are Ibrahimovic and Suarez respectively.

At this point in the game, the suspense has been completely lost.

With a total score of six to zero, it would be a strange thing if Bayern Munich could come back in the last 20 minutes!

This also made Bayern Munich's high-level officials feel very depressed.

"Can we recall Toni Kroos?" asked Bayern Munich's acting chairman Herbert Hainer.

"If I have an idea, I can arrange for someone to contact Southampton!"

He is the CEO of Adidas. He used to be a professional player who played in low-level leagues, but he has always been a fan of Bayern Munich. He can be regarded as the representative of Adidas in Bayern Munich's management.

In these two rounds of the game, Toni Kroos' performance in midfield was too eye-catching.

He performed very well in the last game, and this game was in the deadlock stage. He used a precise free kick to assist Harvey Martinez to break through Bayern Munich's goal and broke the deadlock on the field.

Not only that, he sits in the midfield, whether it is organization and sorting out, or passing and distributing the ball, he is very good, and even the defense has improved considerably compared to before.

Today's Toni Kroos is really good at both offense and defense, and both are quite good.

On the other hand, in these two games, Bayern Munich's two defensive midfielders, Schweinsteiger and Thiago, were completely outmatched by Toni Kroos, especially Schweinsteiger, who was completely unsuitable. This type of back.

But the question is, is it easier said than done to introduce Toni Kroos?

"When we sold Toni Kroos to Southampton, Yang Huan's offer was as high as 60 million euros. After several years of outstanding performance, if we want to recall it again, what price will we come up with?" Lu Meinig asked rather helplessly.

Selling Toni Kroos back then was definitely a bargain and quite a success as far as this deal was concerned.

Selling a young midfielder for 60 million euros is not considered a success?

But from the current point of view, it is difficult to say.

After all, Bayern Munich is in desperate need of a defensive midfielder similar to Toni Kroos.

"Besides, Southampton can't possibly sell Toni Kroos!"

Hearing what Rummenigge said with certainty, Karl Hopfner also asked strangely: "Why?"

"I received news that Real Madrid decided to introduce Modric. I heard that the total transaction price will exceed 70 million euros!"

"Seventy million?" Karl Hopfner was almost taken aback.

Seventy million euros to introduce Modric?

Did I hear it wrong?

"Now the transfer bubble in European football is too serious. The accounts of the major giants are not short of money. The value of the players will naturally skyrocket, especially for players like Modric and Toni Kroos. Scarce."

Rummenigge said with a sigh of relief.

"But, in any case, we cannot destroy our philosophy of running Bayern Munich by transferring new players. We only bring in players we can afford."

<> "You mean..." Hopfner asked.

"Javi Martinez!" Rummenigge said, pointing to the Spanish centre-back on the pitch.

"Originally, my first choice was Varane, but Yang Huan's attitude was very firm and it was impossible, so I settled for the second best. I wanted to introduce Harvey Martinez. He didn't reject it outright. It seems that there should be some hope. but……"

Having said that, Rummenigge turned his head and looked at Hopfner, "Karl, how much money can the team put into operation this summer?"

Karl Hopfner is Bayern Munich's finance minister and has been in charge of Bayern Munich's finances for decades.

After listening to Rummenigge's words, I thought about it for a while, "Although we introduced Lewandowski as a free transfer, the players' salaries are high and the pressure is relatively high, and before Guardiola proposed to introduce Lewandowski A goalkeeper, the first choice is Liverpool's Reina, worth three million euros."

"Preliminary estimates show that the funds we invest in transfer operations in the summer cannot exceed 40 million euros!"

"Forty million euros?" Rummenigge frowned.

With 40 million euros, can you buy Harvey Martinez?

If Bayern Munich quoted such a price, I am afraid Southampton would throw out a sentence on the spot, 40 million euros?

Can't even buy a leg of Javi Martinez, fuck off!

"Is there no way more?" Rummenigge asked.

Hopfner thought for a while, "At most 50 million euros, no more, this is already the club's limit."

Rummenigge is still a little disappointed, because there is still a certain distance from Southampton's psychological price.

It has become a top priority for the team to introduce a capable central defender.

The striker problem can be solved by Lewandowski, and the midfielder problem can also be solved, but the defense problem is a big problem, because everyone knows that the most lacking in European football is the central defender.

Especially a high-level, commanding central defender like Harvey Martinez!

More importantly, the Spaniard is only twenty-five years old now, and he is in his prime. With the introduction of him, together with Jerome Boateng, the two can guarantee that Bayern Munich's defense will have no problems in the next few years.

This kind of transfer operation is cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

Seeing Rummenigge frowning, Hopfner felt a little strange, "What? Isn't 50 million euros enough?"

Rummenigge shook his head, "I called Ron Gourley, and they offered a very high price, reaching 70 million euros."

"70 million euros?" Hopfner was shocked.

The Bayern Munich chancellor even wondered, is the world too crazy?

An offer of 70 million euros for a central defender?

"This offer is a bit high, but you should know that the teams that are interested in Javi Martinez now, besides us, are Real Madrid and Barcelona!"

At this moment, Hopfner suddenly realized.

The team that the two heroes of the Western Super League have their eyes on has been hyped by the media once, and its value has soared by 10 million.

"Must be Harvey Martinez?" Hopfner was a little skeptical.

If successful, this could be Bayern Munich's most expensive player ever.

"I am confident that the price should be negotiated, but..."

"Just what?"

Rummenigge looked at Summer, who was in charge of competitive affairs, "We may have to send some players away."

Everyone knows what this means.

"Everyone knows that Southampton likes young rookies the most, so I consider adding the young players in the team to the transfer to fill the middle price difference."

After hearing this, Summer felt a little reluctant, but he couldn't refuse Rummenigge's request.

As the youth training of a wealthy team, it is originally to serve the first team.

This kind of service is not what provides an endless supply of talents for the first team, don't be stupid, which giants count on this?

The real service is that in some transfers, young players are added to the transfer negotiations to increase the transfer chips.

For Bayern Munich, the entire Bundesliga is their youth training camp, who can't they want to poach?

Therefore, they do not pay special attention to their own youth training players, and basically adopt the method of renting out. For example, Lahm, Toni Kroos and others all performed well on loan and returned to the team.

But there are also a large number of players who choose to stay outside after performing well, such as Dortmund's Hummels.

As for Schweinsteiger and Thomas Muller, who have always played for Bayern Munich and have been promoted from the youth academy to the first team, there are really few examples, and their situation is quite special.

Especially Thomas Müller.

No one would have thought that this guy would perform so well in the World Cup, wouldn't he?

Therefore, it is normal for Bayern Munich to use players as a transfer head.

It's just that I don't know who Southampton will look at?
