Chapter 63 Van Buyten's Confidence
But Guardiola doesn't think this Chinese guy can threaten his team.
Because the central defender he is going to start is the Belgian veteran Daniel Van Buyten.Li Qingshan is a center forward who relies on headers as his main scoring method, and Van Buyten can be regarded as his nemesis to some extent.
At least Guardiola thinks so.
The Belgian central defender born in 190 is 96cm tall and weighs [-]kg!With outstanding physical advantages, it is a high-altitude barrier for the defense of Bayern and the Belgian national team.
From the perspective of Li Qingshan's physical data, except that he is younger than Van Buyten, he does not have much advantage.In Guardiola's view, Bayern Munich's defense with Van Buyten doesn't need to worry much about Li Qingshan's header.
Instead, he paid more attention to Guangzhou Evergrande's midfielder Konka. This midfielder with excellent ball control and passing ability is likely to find gaps in Bayern's defense. In addition, they still have two A fast player.When dealing with the opponent's counterattack, the team's defense still needs to pay special attention.
Although the opponent seems difficult to compare with Bayern Munich, Guardiola, as the head coach, still made detailed arrangements.
For Bayern's stars, this game is probably about the same intensity as the warm-up match before the season, or even worse.
Of course, what Li Qingshan said also reached their ears.But they didn't pay much attention to him, but regarded him as a conversation piece after dinner.
After coming to Morocco, Guardiola did not arrange too intensive training intensity, mainly the training content of passing the ball to each other.For the Bayern players, this kind of training is really the easiest.
"Hey, did you hear that? The striker against us in the next game has played 48 games so far this season and scored 53 goals." When the Bayern players got together, Gotze danced and danced. Said.
Of course they knew who "that striker" was.
"Average more than one goal per game, sounds so cool!" Mueller grinned and exclaimed. As a forward, he certainly knows how difficult it is to average more than one goal per game.
"It's just an improvement in the level of competition in Asia." Alaba said, spreading his hands.
"And most of them are headers!" Gotze added on the side, "I heard that he is very strong physically, and he is best at headers!"
Ram pinched his chin and said, "Then we have nothing to worry about. With Daniel here, he has no chance to head the ball!"
Ram looked at the usually low-key and introverted Belgian and said.
Van Buyten also grinned when his teammates mentioned him.For him, there really was nothing to worry about.He is taller and stronger than his opponent, and his competition experience is not comparable to Li Qingshan.
In this frontal defense, Van Buyten is not afraid of anyone.
The Belgian veteran still has this confidence.
The time for the game came soon. On the evening of December [-]th local time (BJ time has reached December [-]th), the outside of the Agadir Stadium began to have the atmosphere before the start of the game.
The fans of both sides are wearing red jerseys. Looking from a distance, it is difficult to distinguish the belonging of the fans of both sides.But after walking in and looking at it, you can still distinguish it very breathlessly.
Judging from the number of fans, Bayern Munich fans are naturally larger than Guangzhou Evergrande.As a European giant, Bayern Munich has fans all over the world.In Morocco, there are naturally many Bayern Munich fans.The distance between Morocco and Germany is not too far, and many local Bayern fans in Germany also made a special trip to Morocco.
The fans of Guangzhou Evergrande are mainly Chinese and overseas Chinese from Morocco and nearby countries. It can be easily distinguished from their skin color that they are fans of Guangzhou Evergrande.
CCTV began to transfer to the live signal of the game two hours before the start of the game.Outside the stadium, CCTV set up a camera to take pictures of the fans entering the stadium.
Bayern fans wearing Bayern Munich jerseys walked past the camera, noticed the camera, Bayern fans leaned over and shouted at the camera: "Southern Star! Southern Star!!"
Bavaria is located in the south of Germany, so Bayern is also known as the star of the south by fans.
As soon as they passed by, a group of fans wearing Guangzhou Evergrande jerseys walked over together.
When they saw the CCTV camera, they walked up to the camera and shouted in unison: "Come on Evergrande!!!!"
Many of them are not football fans, but in order to support the teams from their home countries, they came from Morocco and North Africa to cheer for Guangzhou Evergrande.
An hour later, both teams were handed to the Adigarh pitch one after another.
After the warm-up, players from both sides returned to the locker room.
In this game, Guangzhou Evergrande was drawn at home, so they can use a more spacious and luxurious home team locker room, while Bayern Munich stars can only go to the visiting team locker room.
Lippi stands in front of his players.This is the practice before every game, as a manager, there is always something to say.
Lippi is well aware of the gap with Bayern Munich, so he doesn't have much hope for this game.
But when you step on the football field, you have to do your best, and you can't just raise your hands and surrender just because the opponent is strong.
Although there is a big gap between his team's strength and the opponent's, Lippi still made targeted arrangements based on the team's personnel structure.
There is no doubt that this game is the rhythm of Guangzhou Evergrande's main defense and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.As the overlords of Asia, they are always able to occupy most of the time on the field in the Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League. They use patient offensive organization to tear through the opponent's defense.But in this game, Guangzhou Evergrande obviously cannot do this.In this case, Lippi made some adjustments to his starting lineup.
From the original 4231 formation, Lippi removed one player from the forward line and replaced it with a defensive midfielder. He temporarily put Muric on the bench and Zhao Xuri stepped in to change the formation to 4321.
Three defensive midfielders are arranged in the midfield.In fact, Guangzhou Evergrande has mainly been training to get familiar with this formation these days.
However, in the locker room at this time, the players of Guangzhou Evergrande seemed very quiet. Everyone looked very serious, without a smile.
Lippi frowned slightly. Guangzhou Evergrande, as a dominant team in the league, still showed its fear when facing Bayern Munich.
Most of them came to Morocco with the mentality of a vacation, and what they thought in their hearts was probably to take a trip to the Club World Cup and be satisfied after passing the first round.In front of the powerful Bayern Munich, they dare not show their minions.
Only Li Qingshan looked normal, he was sitting on a chair in the locker room as usual, waiting excitedly for his appearance.
This is the mentality that a player of a truly dominant team should have, Lippi nodded slightly.
But Lippi didn't say anything to reverse the nervousness of the players, but directly turned the tactical board around and began to emphasize some key points in detail.
It is the first time for Guangzhou Evergrande to put on such a defensive formation, but for Lippi, as an Italian coach, defense is his housekeeping skill.
How to position the three defensive midfielders and how to position the full backs.When there is a chance to counterattack, how does the small team of three in front move and cooperate.
The players watched Lippi write and draw on the tactical board, as if they were dealing with an ordinary Chinese Super League game, and the tension in their hearts disappeared a lot.
After all, as a world champion coach, Lippi's aura is still enough to infect the players of Guangzhou Evergrande.
Lippi's style is like this. When he is rarely excited to boost the morale of the team, he is like an engineer, allowing players to position and pass the ball according to his intentions.
When the players from both sides lined up and stood in the player tunnel, the players from Guangzhou Evergrande seemed a little cautious again, while the Bayern Munich players standing on the other side of them looked relaxed, and some were still covering their mouths and in front of themselves. The teammates behind him were chatting about something.
Only Li Qingshan looked normal. He stood in the last row of the team, looking at the exit of the player tunnel.
When the referee team standing at the front took a step, the players from both sides followed behind them and stepped onto the court one by one.
