Chapter 297, The Strongest Opponent

When the players of the two teams warmed up, the head coaches of the two teams shook hands and greeted each other on the sidelines.

This is the first time Kintag met Josep Guardiola, the two had never met before. Unlike Mourinho's cold temperament, Guardiola's temperament and speaking style are somewhat similar to Professor Wenger, elegant and polite.

Guardiola said to Kim Tiger very friendly: "Coach Tiger, I have always wanted to meet you, the best coach in the Premier League this season, and today I finally have the opportunity."

Jin Taige also replied very politely: "It is also my honor to be praised by the six-time champion coach."

The two were chatting on the sidelines, not at all like the head coaches of the two teams who were about to meet each other on the court.

The two met today for the first time, and they only had one contact before. It was because of Rooney's affairs. Guardiola wanted to bid for Rooney and had a phone call with Jin Taige. Apart from that, the two had no communication.

Guardiola looked at Jin Taige in front of him. He had a special closeness to Jin Taige. This feeling cannot be described, but he felt that Jin Taige was very nice.

The two chatted briefly, and Guardiola brought the topic to Rooney again.

"Tiger, I am still very interested in Rooney. If possible, I hope to sign Rooney this summer. We can still discuss the price."

Jin Taige nodded: "No problem, you have also discussed the transfer with Rooney's agent, and he is also planning to leave this summer. As for whether to go to Munich, London or Madrid, it depends on the price and Rooney's attitude." .”

Guardiola looked at the field and saw that Rooney was warming up, and he broke the goal with a burst shot.

"Will Rooney play today?"

"Well, he has been in good form recently, so he has been in the starting lineup. I will not put him in the sidelines just because he wants to transfer. After all, if he is not in good form, the transfer price in the summer will not be good. talk."

Guardiola smiled, and he looked at Jin Taige with great interest: "Tiger, you are such a frank person, I like dealing with people like you."

But Kintag asked back: "Did Kroos come to Manchester today?"

Hearing Jin Taige's question, Guardiola was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Oh, he has been slightly injured recently, so I didn't put him in the starting list."

"Oh, I see.

"

Because the main lineups and starting rosters of the two sides are no longer secrets, the two have no taboo when talking about players.

The two chatted a few more words, and then returned to the sidelines where the players trained, preparing for the game for a while.

"Josep, good luck, if you have the opportunity, we can have a drink together after the game."

"Alright Tiger, good luck to you too."

Watching Kintag turn around and walk towards his players, Guardiola thought to himself: It seems that Kintag is still very interested in Kroos. This transfer involving two players really needs to be carefully considered.

Thinking of this, Guardiola looked at the tactical board in his hand, and then at the players on the field. Bayern players have performed very well recently. They are currently thriving in the league, and they will be able to defend the league title in a few games. So Guardiola is also full of confidence in this game.

At this time, on the other side of the field, Jin Taige also stood on the sidelines and looked at the players on the field. He nodded and thought to himself: The players are in good condition today.

Assistant coach Phelan was helping the team in training, while Scholes had just finished sorting out the materials and came to Kintag with a few notebooks and two tablets: "Captain, here you are."

Kintag took the tablet, which showed Bayern's starting lineup. He said solemnly: "Today's opponent is the strongest opponent we have encountered so far this season."

Up to now, Kintag has fought at least two rounds against the strong teams in the Premier League. Except for the 1-4 loss to Manchester City at the beginning of the season, Manchester United remained unbeaten in the rest of the games. In the dialogue, Manchester United has the upper hand. In the Champions League this year, they have played against Leverkusen, Real Sociedad, Olympiacos and other teams, but these teams are not the top European teams. Compared with the super-first-class teams, there is still some gap. Today's opponent, Bayern Munich, is currently one of the hottest teams in Europe.

Bayern was the champion of the Champions League last season. They are all strong in all lines and have no weaknesses. Since the famous coach Pep Guardiola was invited as the team coach this summer, this domineering Bundesliga powerhouse has a strong technical and tactical cooperation. It is much more delicate.

If Manchester United can continue to advance beyond Bayern this time, then this brand new Manchester United can really compete with the top European teams.

After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to their locker rooms for the final preparations before the game.

In the locker room of the home team, Jin Taige pointed to the tactical board, explained the opponent's lineup to the players, and explained each position in detail. Unlike the past, Jin Taige's face is full of serious expressions today.

After the explanation, Kintag said solemnly to everyone: "Guys, our opponents today are extraordinary. They are the champions of the Champions League last season, the Bundesliga hegemon, and one of the best teams in Europe at present. We want to step on Bayern and continue to move forward, which is very difficult. Therefore, in this game, you must cheer up and face them with 100 strength and state!"

In the visiting team's locker room, the Bayern players looked relaxed. Guardiola seemed to be chatting with them, talking about the game.

"This Manchester United team is different from the past. They are currently in the stage of changing from old to new. There are many young people in the team, so they must be very aggressive. In the last round, Manchester United lost 0-2 to Olympia. In the case of Kos, the comeback with 4 goals at home is enough to prove that they have a certain strength. However, in the Champions League group stage, there were several mistakes in several games, which shows that their stability is not enough and they are currently In the league, they are also going hand in hand with Manchester City, and there is a lot of pressure to compete for the championship. So for this game, I have no special instructions, you just need to play against Manchester United according to the usual way of playing. I believe you will be able to win the game."

Players on both sides are ready to go, and a big battle is about to begin!
