Eight Hundred and Fifty-Seven Finals Home, How About You?

Finale da hoam!

This Bavarian dialect [Go home in the final] has completely become a buzzword in Germany.

When the countdown to the Champions League final entered, the tension of the fans is also rising, and the heat of the whole city is also getting more and more boiling.

Relying on the advantage of the home court, Munich uses red and white as the main colors of decoration, and Manchester City's sky blue is not mentioned at all.

In the words of Jung, head of marketing at Bayern Munich, "We want the whole Saturday to be a red and white festival."

Starting from Wednesday, more than 2,000 huge posters have been placed on every subway platform and every square, so that fans can see Bayern stars everywhere on the streets of Munich.

Jung also revealed that more than 200 million people around the world will watch the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday. This will be the biggest event in the world, and its influence will even exceed the Super Bowl in the United States.

The Munich Tourism Bureau also released estimated data. Before and after the final, it is expected that as many as 140,000 tourists will arrive in Munich, and more than 40,000 tourists will stay here overnight. This will bring huge economic benefits to hotels, hostels and bars in Munich .

Since the tickets for the UEFA Champions League final were sold out early, the Munich city government specially provided super-large screens around the stadium and other places. Many fans’ meeting places and locations for watching the game were also sold out. It is expected that there will be more than 100,000 Fans gathered outside to watch the game.

In the face of such a huge Champions League final, the Munich police also dispatched 2,000 police officers to closely monitor fans with violent records. At the same time, the sale of alcoholic beverages in glass bottles will also be prohibited.

The reason is very simple, the glass bottle is a weapon of destruction.

The United Kingdom and Germany are old rivals.

From the national team to the club, Manchester City and Bayern are now meeting in the Champions League final, which further exacerbates this tense atmosphere.

According to the distribution of tickets for the UEFA Champions League final, it is estimated that 25,000 to 30,000 British fans will enter the country. Germany is investigating the group of British fans entering the country. At the same time, it is also closely cooperating with the British police to reject more than 80 British fans. Violent ex-con football hooligans head to Germany.

On the day of the final in Munich, the city railway will add 20 cars and 160 staff.

The whole city is doing everything it can to meet the demands of the Champions League final.

But the sudden influx of such a huge number of fans will be a huge test for the entire city.

Of course, the German side has even begun to consider the championship celebration after the final.

After all, if Bayern win the title at home, the celebrations will be overwhelming.

...

It was in such an atmosphere that Manchester City arrived in Munich at noon on Friday.

From the airport to the city center, you can see along the way that the buildings on both sides of the street are hung with blue and white flags and patterns, which are the colors of Bayern.

Huge posters of Bayern players can be seen at almost every intersection.

On the LCD screens in the street, the advertisements that were originally playing were also turned into promotional advertisements for Bayern and the Champions League final.

Many sponsors even specially asked Bayern players to cooperate with the shooting of the advertisements of the Champions League final, in order to achieve the effect of setting off the atmosphere.

There are Bayern fans everywhere.

To say that Bayern really makes money, the response is fast enough.

After reaching the Champions League final, they specially launched a series of products for the Champions League final, such as a cheering T-shirt for the final at 8 euros, as well as flags, handkerchiefs, scarves and the like.

These goods do not look expensive, but the sales are extremely hot, which has led to an upsurge in fan shops.

But behind this is Bayern's control over all aspects of souvenir production, sales and even logistics, which is by no means a simple sentence.

After all, from the second round of the Champions League semi-finals to now, it has only been about 20 days.

Not only that, Bayern also fully mobilized 22 sponsors and began to carry out all-round publicity from all angles, not only in Germany, but even in the whole of Europe, and even the whole world.

Sitting in the bus of Manchester City, Gao Shen looked at the scenes outside the window, recalled what he saw, and couldn't help feeling the strength of a veteran giant team like Bayern Munich.

If you insist on the background, then this is the background.

The whole world knows that the Bundesliga has the lowest ticket prices, but Bayern Munich is able to rely on strong commercial operation capabilities to become one of the teams with the highest revenue in the world, not even losing to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United Wait for the team.

There is no advantage in the price of tickets, and there is no advantage in broadcast rights income. Bayern relies on commercial income.

In this regard, Bayern can even be said to be the best in the world.

Many people think that this depends on the overall economic strength of Germany, which is of course true, but with such a backing, such strength must be tapped out.

Not to mention anything else, in this Champions League final, Manchester City is much worse than Bayern.

The gap caused by this difference is also all-round.

For example, the final income.

From the fans' point of view, it is of course concerned about who will win the championship.

But from the perspective of a company's management, the championship is nothing more than a title, at best a bonus, but what they are most concerned about is the increase in influence brought about by the finals and the real commercial benefits.

Compared with the latter, the championship is more icing on the cake.

Gao Shen can even assert that even if Manchester City wins the championship, they will lag far behind Bayern in terms of income.

This is the real difference.

It is not to say that Mansour can build it up in a short period of time by spending money.

Manchester City's commercial sponsorship system still relies more on the Abu Dhabi consortium, which makes it impossible for them to do what Bayern is currently doing. In a short period of time, they mobilize sponsors from all over the world to promote and promote together, and then form a momentum .

In this regard, Manchester City still has a long way to go.

Even if they have been relying on the Abu Dhabi consortium and Mansour, it may be difficult for Manchester City to get out of this road.

When a person can easily get money when he is flat, who is willing to earn those thankless hard-earned money?

This is human nature.

...

The itinerary for the day before the final is fixed.

After Manchester City arrived at the hotel, they took a lunch break, and then Gao Shen held a meeting.

In fact, there is nothing to say. Basically, it is to let everyone relax and not be too nervous. They even discussed what to eat for noon on the day of the finals.

In the afternoon, under the arrangement of UEFA, the team set off to the Allianz Stadium for pre-match familiarization training.

This is full of routines again.

The final was held at the Allianz Arena, and there were many media reporters and staff at the final venue. This made it impossible for Manchester City to conduct targeted training at the final venue.

More is still getting familiar with the venue.

For example, test the distance of a wide cross.

After all, the width and length of the court are different, and the strength and angle of the players' kicks must be adjusted accordingly.

It is worth mentioning that Gao Shen specially arranged a penalty kick drill.

Moreover, he also simulated penalty kicks against Bayern Munich players to train Neuer.

There is another very interesting detail, that is, at the scene, some fans played the banner of hoping that Neuer will go home.

"The final is home, how about you?"

Gao Shen also noticed that Neuer's expression was indeed a bit complicated.

Manchester City gave a lot of money and honors, but Manchester City is a British team after all.

Jerome Boateng is more free and easy on the contrary, and it is estimated that it has something to do with no one calling him home.

Now this kid is doing very well in Manchester City.

This kind of advanced tactical play has high requirements for the central defender.

David Luiz and Kompany are the main central defenders, but Boateng is now faintly among them, and he has made great progress.

Boateng was in the German national team not long ago, and in an interview, he publicly expressed his deep gratitude to the head coach.

Because, it was Gao Shen who gave the order to die, requiring him to get rid of his bad habits, so he made great progress.

The process of breaking a habit is painful, but the rewards are gratifying.

After scanning around, Gao Shen felt that it was necessary to have a good chat with Neuer after going back.

Before the finals, you can't let your main goalkeeper have a lump in his heart.

Of course he believes that Neuer can handle it, but it's best to let it go.

...

After participating in the field familiarization training, Gao Shen handed over the team to Carlo and Brian Kidd, and under the arrangement of the staff, he went to the Allianz Stadium to prepare for the pre-match press conference.

This is also the routine of the Champions League final every year.

It is the fourth time to participate in the UEFA Champions League final, and Gao Shen is very familiar with this set of procedures.

The biggest difference between this year's Champions League final and previous years is that it is held at Bayern Munich's home court.

Bayern's office is not in the Allianz Arena, but this is their territory, including Beckenbauer, Rummenigge and others will basically be here.

Especially when it comes to the press conference, they will accompany UEFA officials to the scene.

While waiting for the press conference, as soon as Gao Shen appeared, he was immediately greeted by everyone.

Thirty-one years old, with three Champions League titles in hand, Gao Shen can be regarded as the hottest top coach in world football today.

The major clubs cannot guarantee that they will not cooperate with Gao Shen in the future, so they are very polite to him.

Even Platini, Blatter and others treated Gao Shen with courtesy.

To put it bluntly, Gao Shen is based on solid achievements.

In deep memory, Bayern this season won the Sanya King.

Now, the situation seems to be even worse.

In the league, they fell behind to Klopp's Dortmund early on, and lost the German Cup, leaving the Champions League final.

On the other hand, Manchester City, whether it is in the Champions League, Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup this season, has made great strides. The four fronts go hand in hand, and now they are short of the Champions League.

In contrast, Bayern's multi-line combat plan is clearly a failure.

In this regard, Beckenbauer is also very clear about the reasons.

The overall strength of the team has not yet arrived!

The so-called overall strength here includes many aspects.

This is like Gao Shen's previous life. Many people are wondering why Real Madrid can win the Champions League three times in a row?

metaphysics?

Shit!

To put it bluntly, it is the overall strength!

When James Rodriguez, Isco, Kovacic, Asensio, Morata and other stars sit on the bench and can put together another strong lineup at any time, your strength will come.

The worst way to play is to fight with you for exhaustion. If you are almost exhausted, I will kill you with substitutions!

Who told me that the players on the bench are better than you?
