The old commander's voice suddenly sounded stiff, and Sauer knew that he had misunderstood.
"Coach, that's not what I meant. When I was at Bayern, I lived a good life, grew up very fast, and won many championships. However, I just chose another way of playing football now. I want to play football in a different way before retiring. , trying different ways of playing, that’s all.”
Seeing Sauer's serious look, Hitzfeld smiled: "Don't be nervous, I'm just joking with you. I understand what you mean. This is just like what happened a few years ago - the deputy mayor of Berlin retired. After that, he actually worked as a silversmith for a year. He said he wanted to try a different life. I guess you meant the same."
Sauer nodded.
"Well, I hope I can see a completely different and upgraded version of Sauer in the game today."
While Sauer and Hitzfeld were chatting, several Bayern players were also muttering on the pitch.
Lucio asked: "What were the two of them talking about?"
Sagnol shrugged: "Let's talk about family affairs and reminiscing about old times. Maybe we can also talk about the tactical arrangements for the game."
Van Bommel shook his head: "I guess the old coach must be questioning Melmut and complaining about why he didn't stay at Bayern for one more year."
Lucio nodded in agreement: "Yes, since Melmut wants to play for another year, he can definitely come back at Bayern. The club will definitely welcome him. Why must he go to a relegation team like Cottbus?" .”
Schweinsteiger felt very regretful: "We have encountered widespread injuries this season and lost a lot of points, otherwise we would not have lost the top spot. If Melmut is still at Bayern, then he will definitely be able to A lot of relief.”
"Let's go over and say hello to him later?"
"Forget it, it's not appropriate to go to the opponent's camp now. Let's have a chat in the player tunnel later."
"makes sense."
After the two teams warmed up, Yun Sheng specifically told Shaoer: "You can go back a little later and chat with your old teammates."
Sauer shook his head: "Thank you coach, but I don't need special care. Until the end of the game, there are no old teammates here, only new opponents."
When Sauer said this, Kahn happened to pass by him.
The two didn't speak. Kahn gave Sauer a hard blow on the shoulder, and Sauer nodded to him and the Bayern players, saying hello, that's all, and then went straight to the visiting team's locker room.
Lucio frowned: "He seems to have completely turned into a Cottbus player."
Kahn said coldly: "As he wished, there are no former Bayern teammates in the Cottbus camp today, only Bayern opponents!"
Back in the locker room, the Bayern soldiers no longer talked about Sauer, as if the former Bayern star had nothing to do with them.
After Hitzfeld emphasized the precautions again, he said seriously to the players: "We are now one point behind Cottbus and ranked second in the league. This is a shame for us! I don't think a relegation team You are qualified to ride on our heads! You must win this game, there is no second choice! If you cannot defeat your opponent, then your winter break will be shortened and you will return to the team early for training! Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Heathfield's words scared everyone, and the vacation was shortened. This was a big deal for the players who had worked hard for half a year.
In the visiting team's locker room, Yun Sheng was also chatting with the players about the game.
"Guys, you have confidence, which is a good thing, but we must also pay attention to them in our hearts. As the Bundesliga hegemon, Bayern's strength is undoubted. You may encounter a lot of trouble, that's for sure. But I want to say it again Remind you that you are number one in the Bundesliga and you are the better team!"
The head coaches of the two teams were making final preparations in the locker rooms, and the live broadcast room was also busy. Schroeder was introducing the starting lineups of both sides.
"Bayern's starting lineup has been slightly adjusted today. Due to the impact of injuries, some of their main players have been absent due to injuries, and many young people have been given the opportunity to play."
"Bayern's starting lineup today is a 4-4-2 formation. The goalkeeper Kahn, the defenders from left to right are Lahm, Lucio, Van Buyten and Sagnol, and the four midfielders from left to right are Ze Roberto, Van Bommel, Schweinsteiger and Ribery, the forwards are Toni and Klose. The seven substitutes are: Lensing, Janssen, Hummels, Altentop, Tonik Rose, Sosa and Podolsky.”
"Bayern has been seriously injured recently, and many of its main players are injured. Toni and Klose have just recovered from injuries, and defender Demichelis and midfielder Altentop are injured again. Therefore, in this game, young La La Tom and Bastian Schweinsteiger got the chance to start. These two young players have unlimited potential. Their performance today will largely determine the trend of the game."
"As for Cottbus, they also have important players absent today. Adriano received a red card in the last game and cannot play in this game. The main central defender Kukilka and midfielder Bandrovski They have been recovering from injuries and they are also missing many key players.”
"Today their starting lineup is still a 4-4-2 formation. The goalkeeper Hildebrand, the defenders from left to right are Waksmut, Fick, Da Silva and Ipsa, and the four midfielders are from left to right. From left to right are Shao Jiayi, Sauer, Li Tie and Yu Hai, and the forwards are Shaheen and Cassano. The seven substitute players are: Tremel, Cvetanovic, Basila, Lyle Hill, Zibisi, Rost and Tretko.”
"The biggest change in this game is that Yunsheng put the young Shaheen at the forward position to replace Adriano, who missed the red card. Let us wait and see whether the Turkish boy can fulfill his important task of destroying the city."
Looking at the starting lineups of the two teams, Hesl sighed repeatedly: "Bayern is really unlucky this season. They have suffered injuries continuously, especially some time ago, their two striker stars Toni and Kroos were both absent due to injuries. This caused them to lose a lot of league points, otherwise with Bayern's strength, it would be absolutely impossible for them to be ranked second in the league."
"But I believe that after this game, Cottbus' top position and unbeaten record in the league will be ended. But having said that, they can stay at the top for so long. Yunsheng's luck this season is really good, which is a bit too much. .”
Schroeder looked at Hesl: "Oh, according to you, Cottbus will lose this game?"
"That's natural! Bayern will win this game!" Hesl said decisively.
