Football Giants

After the three-to-zero game between the two sides in the first round at the Allianz Arena, everyone is looking forward to the second round of the St. Mary Stadium battle, and both sides also talked about each other before the game.

For example, Guardiola said that Bayern Munich still has a chance, and the away game must come back.

Even the generals of the Bayern Munich team, as well as the club's top officials, have expressed their views that the team still has the possibility of reversal.

But how about Southampton?

The same is not to be outdone. Even Bielsa, who has never been good at expressing his views in front of the media, seldom replied that we have never lost at St. Mary's Stadium. This is a domineering remark.

But no matter how the two sides fight before the game, how the media build momentum, even the media of the two countries are about to entangle this game with the grievances between England and Germany for many years, but the real battlefield is still on the football field.

Compared with the first round, the two sides hardly changed.

Not only the lineup has not changed, even the starting tactics have also not changed at all.

At the beginning of the game, Bayern Munich took the lead in the game.

Southampton played at home and organized the defense patiently, allowing Bayern Munich to attack.

This made the Bundesliga Banba feel very helpless, because they found that the copper wall and iron wall that could not be penetrated in the first round was still not broken in the second round.

At this time, even the live commentator at St. Mary’s Stadium has acted as a master tactician, unceremoniously pointing out Bayern Munich’s striker, thinking that Thomas Muller is not suitable for playing center at all.

Bayern Munich’s frontline problem can be considered a long time ago. Initially, they wanted to introduce Mandzukic but failed. After that, they have not been able to find a suitable center. Until recently, Lewandowski was freely introduced from Dortmund.

But the Bundesliga striker wants to play for Bayern Munich and has to wait until next season!

Don't look at Bayern Munich always controlling the ball, but in fact, they didn't get the first shot until the 25th minute, but Ribery's shot was obviously crooked.

Within half an hour, Bayern Munich had only one shot.

Instead, it was Southampton, who was absolutely inferior in possession. In the first half an hour, there were a total of three shots and two straight shots.

The offensive efficiency of Bielsa's team is still very high!

But what really changed the game happened at the 36th minute.

Hazard took the ball from the left and caused a foul by Rafinha and won an opportunity for Southampton to set the ball.

Tony Cross came to take the penalty. Harvey Martinez was in the penalty area. With Varane's screen, he defeated Dante and hit a header to open the record for Southampton!

This score was finally maintained until the end of the first half.

In the second half, Guardiola finally couldn't help but made adjustments, pulling Ram back to the defense, and handing the entire midfield to Schweinsteiger and Thiago.

Obviously, this is a gambling gambling!

It’s just a pity that Schweinsteiger failed to take up this burden. Bayern Munich also failed to solve the old weakness of the frontline. There were a lot of frontcourt errors. Southampton was in the 57th minute and the first. In seventy-one minutes, he seized the opportunity twice and counterattacked to score.

The heroes who scored were Ibrahimovic and Suarez.

At this point in the game, the suspense has been completely lost.

With a total score of six to zero, it would be a strange thing if Bayern Munich could come back in the last twenty minutes!

This also makes Bayern Munich's senior management feel very depressed.

"Can we recall Tony Cross?" Bayern Munich's acting chairman Herbert Heiner asked.

"If I have an idea, I can arrange someone to contact Southampton!"

He is the chief executive officer of Adidas. He was also a professional player who played in the low-level leagues, but he has always been a fan of Bayern Munich. He is the representative of Adidas' management in Bayern Munich.

In the two rounds of the game, Tony Cross's performance in midfield was too eye-catching.

The last game performed well, and this one was in the deadlock stage, using a precise free kick to assist Harvey Martinez to break Bayern Munich's goal and break the deadlock on the field.

Not only that, he played in the midfield. Whether it was organization and sorting, or passing and dividing the ball, he was very good, and even his defense was much better than before.

Today's Tony Cross is really good at both offensive and defensive, and both are very good.

On the other hand, in these two games, Bayern Munich’s two midfielders, Schweinsteiger and Thiago, were completely compared by Tony Kroos, especially Schweinsteiger, who was completely unsuitable This type of midfielder.

But the question is, how easy is it to introduce Tony Cross?

"When we sold Tony Cross to Southampton, Yang Huan's offer was as high as 60 million euros. After several years of outstanding performance, if we want to recall again, what price can we get?" Lu Menigger asked helplessly.

The sale of Tony Cross that year was an absolute bargain and a very successful deal.

Is it not a success to sell a teenager midfielder for 60 million euros?

But from the current point of view, this is hard to say.

After all, Bayern Munich is desperately short of a midfielder similar to Tony Cross.

"Besides, Southampton can't sell Tony Cross!"

Hearing that Rummenigge said so surely, Karl Hopfner also asked strangely: "Why?"

"I have received news that Real Madrid has decided to bring in Modric. I heard that the total transaction price will exceed 70 million euros!"

"Seventy million?" Carl Hopfner was almost frightened.

70 million euros to introduce Modric?

Did I hear it wrong?

"The transfer bubble in European football is too serious now, and the major teams are not bad on the accounts. The value of players has naturally risen, especially for players like Modric and Tony Kroos. It's scarce."

Rummenigge said sorrowfully.

"But, in any case, we can't undermine our philosophy of operating Bayern Munich because of the transfer of signings. We only bring in players that we can."

<> "You mean..." Hopfner asked.

"Harvey Martinez!" said Rummenigge, pointing to the Spanish central defender on the court.

"Originally, my first choice was Varane, but Yang Huan’s attitude was very firm and impossible, so I set aside and wanted to bring in Harvey Martinez. He didn’t reject it. It seemed that he should be a little hopeful. but……"

Having said that, Rummenigge turned his head and looked at Hopfner, "Karl, how much money can the team put into operation this summer?"

Carl Hopfner is Bayern Munich’s chancellor of finance and has been in charge of Bayern Munich’s finances for decades.

After listening to Rummenigge’s words, he thought for a while, “Although we introduced Lewandowski for free transfer, the players’ salaries are quite high and the pressure is relatively high, and Guardiola proposed to introduce For a goalkeeper, Liverpool’s Renner is the first choice, worth three million euros."

"Preliminary estimates are that the funds we invest in the summer transfer operation cannot exceed 40 million euros!"

"Forty million euros?" Rummenigge frowned.

Can you buy Harvey Martinez for these 40 million euros?

If Bayern Munich quoted such a price, I am afraid Southampton would throw a sentence on the spot, 40 million euros?

You can't even buy a leg of Harvey Martinez, fuck!

"Can't there be more?" Rummenigge asked.

Hopfner thought for a while, "Up to 50 million euros, no more, this is the limit of the club."

Rummenigge is still a bit disappointed, because there is still a certain distance from the psychological price of Southampton.

It has become a top priority for the team to introduce a strong central defender.

The frontline problem can be solved by Lewandowski, and the midfield problem can also be solved, but the problem of the back line is a big problem, because everyone knows that the most lacking in European football is the central defender.

Especially a high-level, commanding central defender like Harvey Martinez!

More importantly, the Spaniard is only twenty-five years old now, at the peak of his time, and he was introduced. Together with Jerome Boateng, the two can guarantee that Bayern Munich's defense will not be a problem in the next few years.

This transfer operation is cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

Hopfner was a little strange seeing Rummenigge frowning, "What? 50 million euros is not enough?"

Rummenigge shook his head, "I called Ron Gurley, and they offered a high price of 70 million euros."

"70 million euros?" Hopfner was shocked.

The chancellor of Bayern Munich even wondered if the world is too crazy?

A central defender quoted 70 million euros?

"This offer is a bit high, but you should know that the teams that are interested in Xavi Martinez now, besides us, are Real Madrid and Barcelona!"

At this moment, Hopfner suddenly realized.

The team that the Western Super League duo fancy, the media hyped once, the value soared by 10 million, the team's price, another 10 million, nothing said!

"It must be Harvey Martinez?" Hopfner was skeptical.

If successful, this may be Bayern Munich's most valuable player in history.

"I am confident that the price should be able to be negotiated, but..."

"Just what?"

Rummenigge looked at Somer, who was in charge of athletic affairs, "We may have to send away some players."

Everyone knows what this means.

"Everyone knows that Southampton likes young rookies the most, so I consider adding the teenagers from the team to the transfer to fill the gap."

After hearing this, Summer was reluctant, but he couldn't refuse Rummenigge's request.

As the youth academy of a giant team, it was meant to serve the first team.

This kind of service is not about providing an endless supply of talents for the first team. Don't be silly, which giants count on this?

The real service is that in some transfers, young players are added to the transfer negotiations to increase transfer chips.

For Bayern Munich ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the entire Bundesliga is their youth academy, who can't dig?

Therefore, they don't pay much attention to their own youth players, basically they are rented out. For example, Ram, Tony Cross and others have performed well on loan and returned to the team.

But there are also a large number of players who choose to stay out after their outstanding performance, such as Dortmund's Hummels.

As for the examples of Schweinsteiger and Thomas Muller, who have always played for Bayern Munich and promoted from the youth academy to the first team, there are really few examples, and their situation is also quite special.

Especially Thomas Muller.

No one would have thought that this guy would perform so well in the World Cup, would he?

Therefore, it is normal for Bayern Munich to add players to the transfer.

But, I don't know who Southampton will be fancy to?
