Four Hundred and Thirty-Five I Am Julius Caesar!

In the final round of the Champions League group stage, the away game against Bayern Munich is actually of little significance.

Unless Naples suffers a disastrous away game, otherwise, it is basically impossible to lose the strength and level shown by Bayern this season. It is estimated that Klinsmann himself is not sure that he can beat Naples at home, so the ending is actually over. It is destined that Gao Shen will arrange a rotation lineup, play four-two-three-one, let Pellet, Vidal, Hamsik, Nainggolan and other players all start, let them also feel a little bit, the Champions League when they challenged the giants away. atmosphere and rhythm.

As a result, what people didn't expect at all was that in the twenty-fifth minute of the game, Vidal's long-range shot hit the post first, which made the Allianz Stadium break out in a cold sweat, and also triggered a burst of chaos in the penalty area. Melee.

After Naples got the ball, they reorganized and Valencia crossed from the right to near the penalty spot. When Hamsik kicked the goal, he hit the blocked leg of Demichelis and turned back. Turned into the goal guarded by Lensing.

One to zero!

Everyone in the Allianz Arena was stunned.

Gao Shen was also stunned.

Own goals!

After that, Naples continued to insist on their own tactical characteristics, suppressing Bayern on the scene until the 82nd minute, Bayern won a free kick in the frontcourt, Ze Roberto seized the opportunity, and finally equalized for Bayern. The two sides shook hands one to one, and no one could win. After six rounds, Naples qualified as the top of the group with a record of four wins and two draws.

At the same time, Naples is also the team with the most goals in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season. It can be said that it has won all the applause. Third, Zenit lost miserably in the two away games after entering the cold winter. It can be seen that the Russian devil's away game also has an impact on the Russian Super League team.

Several other groups in the Champions League have also decided their rankings.

But Gao Shen discovered one thing very depressingly, that is, the Champions League this season is a bit weird.

In other words, it feels like they are deliberately aiming at Naples to win the first place in the group. Of course, the purpose is to avoid the second place in the group that performed well, but the second place in several groups this season is actually superior.

Such as Arsenal, Lyon, Villarreal, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea...

Of course, compared with the top teams in the group, such as Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Manchester United, etc., these are indeed relatively weak, but in any case, to be able to break into the Champions League knockout round, for Naples, who participated in the Champions League for the first time after more than ten years,

After all, it is still a good thing. Everyone on the team is also full of energy. Gao Shen encourages the players and reminds them at the same time, telling them that the test of the Champions League knockout round will far exceed their imagination, especially those rich teams. Each one is a very troublesome opponent.

After finishing the lecture in the locker room, under the arrangement of UEFA staff, Gao Shen came to the press conference hall of the Allianz Arena.

Before it was time to enter the field, Gao Shen unexpectedly ran into football emperor Beckenbauer.

…

Although the astonishment and excitement of seeing stars and legends when he first arrived has long passed, Beckenbauer is still an exception after all.

After the press conference, Beckenbauer invited Gao Shen to the VIP area of ​​the Allianz Arena for a drink.

At first, Gao Shen thought he would meet other people, such as Bayern's high-level Rummenigge and Hoeness, but he didn't.

This made him mistaken.

I thought that Bayern was looking at Klinsmann's poor performance and wanted to get in touch with him and invite him to coach.

I have to say that coaching Bayern is also a good choice at this juncture.

But for Gao Shen, dealing with the relationship with Ribery and Robben will also be a big trouble.

There is no doubt about the strength of these two big-name superstars, but from a high-level standpoint, whether they are willing to be used by him and whether they can cooperate to execute his tactics is a question.

Of course, at this stage, it shouldn’t be difficult, because Ribery is eager to succeed, and Robben is also eager to prove himself again, but this idea flashed through Gao Shen’s mind, and he thought it was funny because Bayern didn’t have it at all. this means.

The door told Bao Xiaochang that he was very attractive and had long sleeves. Whether it was UEFA or FIFA, he was very open, so when UEFA President Johansson was about to step down, there were even rumors that Blatter wanted to recommend Bei. Kenbauer came out to run for UEFA president.

But in the end, Beckenbauer did not stand up, but Platini came out to run for the election. There is also news that the reason why Beckenbauer did not come out was to compete for the chairman of FIFA and become Blatter's successor. Well, the football emperor actually has very little power in today's Bayern, but in world football, his influence is great.

When meeting in private, Gao Shen doesn't mind revealing some things.

For example, his first football-related book was Beckenbauer's autobiography.

"Do you remember the Bertelsmann Book Club?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.

When Beckenbauer heard it, he immediately remembered, "Remember, I am a signed writer and a member of the book club of Bertelsmann."

"I've seen their production, your autobiography, I'm Caesar."

"Really?" Beckenbauer was very happy, "When this book was launched in China, I specially went to the Chinese launch ceremony. If I had known that you liked this book, I should have met you in the first place.

Gao Shen laughed, and smiled bitterly in his heart: I was still a child at that time!

With this layer of relationship, chatting will be more relaxed and comfortable.

It’s been too long, and Gao Shen actually doesn’t remember the contents of the book very clearly, but Beckenbauer was very impressed with his trip to China, and he was very active in chatting, and he was still very impressed with some scenic spots

"Next time you come to Shanghai, China, call me, I have a house in the best location on the bank of the Huangpu River, overlooking the entire Huangpu River, and then I will find someone to receive you, and I promise to make you return home full of rewards.

Beckenbauer readily agreed.

The topic gradually changed from China to football.

Klinsmann's coaching position has been shaken, but the relationship with Bayern's top management is still very good, and they have always maintained close ties.

This is actually a characteristic of Bayern's management.

As professional players, they have maintained a good personal relationship with many head coaches. Even if they were fired because of the poor performance of the team, they would leave room for each other. For example, Hitzfeld and Heynckes, they They all left after coaching Bayern and were invited back again.

Among them, Heynkers was poached back even after retirement, which would have been basically impossible without a very good personal relationship. When Klinsmann was drinking with Gao Shen before, they talked about many things, and Gao Shen also talked about He shared some of his own thoughts on German football and Bayern, and he seemed to have relayed them to the Bayern management including Beckenbauer.

Beckenbauer also chatted with Gao Shen about German football and Bayern.

Gao Shen also answered all questions, knew everything, and he also asked Beckenbauer a lot of questions about youth training. German youth training has a very strict system and order. As a famous German football player, Beckenbauer started from scratch. In the end, he personally experienced this process, and even he was the most important initiator of this plan. As early as the second half of the 1990s, he had realized the shortage of German football talents. Bai Gaoshen also got a lot from Beckenbauer. Things that outsiders cannot know, although these youth training knowledge is useless for the time being, it is hard to guarantee that it will not come in handy in the future.

Gao Shen chatted with Beckenbauer for over an hour before leaving.

But he didn't know that as soon as he left, Rummenigge and Hoeness came back.

"Frantz, how do you feel?" Hoeness asked with a smile, looking at Gao Shen's leaving direction,

Beckenbauer nodded, "He is a very thoughtful young man, and he has already proved his ability in Naples. Many of his ideas coincide with ours. I think Rummenigge can be included in our consideration." They exchanged glances with Hoeness and nodded.

In terms of specific matters, Beckenbauer really has no real power in Bayern, but his words are still very useful in many major decisions. After all, he has an extraordinary influence in Bayern and German football.

Among other things, the fans attach great importance to his opinion.

Currently,

Sixteen rounds of Serie A have been played, the team ranks second in the standings, and the first is Hoffenheim, who later became famous and performed the miracle of Huo Cun. The two teams have the same points.

But Bayern is behind on goal difference.

But this is why Bayern caught up. In mid-October, Bayern even ranked eleventh in the standings. At that time, the management had already moved the idea of ​​changing coaches, but Beckenbauer publicly stood up to support Collins Man, later, the coach of Bayern gradually figured it out, and the team's performance gradually improved, and it is now the second place in the standings.

Champions League group stage qualification, Bundesliga standings second place, this winter break report card is not bad, within the acceptable range of Bayern, but if Klinsmann wants to stay in Bayern, he still needs to show more convincing strength achievement

"Although Gao Shen has successful experience in coaching Real Madrid, he is still too young and must be carefully considered." Rummenigge said.

Both Beckenbauer and Hoeness nodded. With Klinsmann's precedent here, no one dares to be careless. If Klinsmann is withdrawn in exchange for a younger Gao Shen, the team will fall into a trap again. Chaos, so what to do?

Even, when that time really comes, I am afraid that someone from the Big Three will have to stand up and take responsibility for this decision. This is a situation that no one wants to see.

Besides, Bayern has always chosen to be familiar with the selection of coaches. Right now, Beckenbauer and Gao Shen met and chatted for a while. Many things are hard to say. The biggest difference between Bayern and other teams is that the management Knowing about football, they also know that selecting a coach is a very serious matter that must be done with caution and cannot be chosen lightly. But Gao Shen has already entered the scope of Bayern's investigation.
