Chapter 739 Fighting for the Three Consecutive Championships!
On the morning of the match day, Su Dong, accompanied by Nuno Cruz and other personal trainers, went to the hotel gym for a regular training session to activate his body. He then returned to the room to take a shower and change clothes. When he came out, he happened to meet Bayern giants and legends who came to visit the hotel.
The faces of senior management such as Beckenbauer, Rummenigge and Hoeness were filled with bright smiles.
Just yesterday, UEFA announced the revenue of European teams in the European arena in the past ten years. Bayern won the first place without any suspense, becoming the most profitable giant in the European arena in the past ten years. Following them were the Galacticos Real Madrid and Manchester United. Barcelona ranked fourth. It is not difficult to see the influence of Bayern.
If Bayern does not plan to store war food, but continues to maintain the current situation and retains the players in the team, Bayern will still be the undisputed king of European football in the next few years.
But now, Bayern prefers to build high walls and store large amounts of food.
Regardless of whether they can win three consecutive titles, having reached the Champions League final for three consecutive years and won the championship twice is a very dazzling honor in the history of the Champions League.
If they can win the Champions League again, with three consecutive years of trebles, then today's Bayern will definitely be the most powerful dynasty in Bayern's history, or even in the history of European football, bar none!
After all, Real Madrid's five consecutive championships were more due to the inception of the Champions League, but today's European football is a place where many heroes compete for supremacy.
Because of this, the arrival of Bayern giants did not put any pressure on the team, but instead constantly encouraged the players to play to their best level in the game and not to have too much pressure on performance.
When he came to Su Dong, Beckenbauer said nothing. He took a step forward and hugged Su Dong deeply, giving him a long hug that seemed very deep.
Su Dong's coming to Bayern involves too many conflicts of interest, but one thing is certain.
That is, this deal is definitely the most successful deal in the history of Bayern and even in German football.
Without Su Dong, without the fifty league goals he brings every season, as well as the goals in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, how can Bayern fight for the treble? How can they defend their titles and win three consecutive championships?
Do you really think that all Bundesliga teams are pushovers? Or that all Champions League teams are losers? Or, as many media conspiracy theories claim, is Platini the godfather?
What's more, for Bayern, Su Dong is not only a goal scorer, but also a source of confidence.
This is why Bayern's performance is completely different with and without Su Dong.
At this point, there is actually no need to say many things anymore, as we understand each other's thoughts.
Su Dong came to Bayern to win three consecutive Champions League titles, and Bayern also fulfilled its original promise to Su Dong and maintained the team's competitiveness for three years.
Can we win three consecutive championships?
It all depends on how Su Dong and Bayern perform tonight!
To some extent, this is beyond the control of Bayern management.
Su Dong is very clear about this, so he has nothing but gratitude towards Bayern's management and coaching staff.
The two sides parted ways amicably. Perhaps a few years later, when Su Dong is old and retired and wants to transform into a head coach, he will return to Bayern and learn from the German football scene.
Because he has always felt that the German football system is very suitable for China.

After the bosses left, the players followed Heynckes into the meeting room.
The main question is how to limit Barcelona tonight.
This is actually a very serious issue, and Bayern has been studying and discussing it repeatedly over the past period of time.
Let me tell you about the simplest and most inconspicuous detail.
The whole world knows how the offensive combination of Messi and Alves plays, so the question is, when Messi cuts inside, will Marcelo follow?
Then, who will guard Alves in the vacant wing? Will Ribery return to defense? Or will Schweinsteiger go to the wing? If Ribery returns to defense, how will we play in the counterattack? If Schweinsteiger goes to the wing, who will cooperate with Marcelo in the middle to guard Messi?
This is just a chain reaction of a very, very subtle, insignificant decision on the court.
Questions like this are almost endless.
So, some people say that coaching is a metaphysics, which is actually true.
Because it's too complicated.
Not only does it involve eleven players on your own team, but it also involves eleven players on the other team, and each person's decision is unpredictable.
If this isn’t metaphysics, then what is it? Even the control freak Rafa Benítez said that if he had eleven robots, he could win all the games.
See, he wants robots, not people! The same is true for Heynckes now.
When facing Barcelona, you have to stay focused when defending, stay focused and don't make any mistakes.
Therefore, we need to rehearse and communicate all the details and possible accidents in advance so that everyone has a clear idea of what they need to do.
The coaching staff had even suggested replacing Marcelo with Badstuber in the starting lineup.
Why? Because Badstuber has a long pass and is better at defending.
But in the end, Heynckes chose Marcelo.
However, he asked Schweinsteiger and Modric to move back a little and, together with Mascherano, protect the defense line, especially the flank defense.
On the offensive end, Ribery retreated a little, responsible for supporting and connecting, while Su Dong and Robben were at the front.
"Speed! Our biggest advantage is speed!" Heynckes emphasized this point again.
"Ibrahimovic's sticky ball slowed down Barcelona's speed, and he was not very willing to engage in counter-attacks. Coupled with Messi, Barcelona's frontcourt pressing was not as good as before. These were all opportunities for us."
Su Dong and Robben are both very fast players. They are very powerful when dribbling the ball and have strong individual combat capabilities. For someone like Su Dong, he is even considered super strong and can take on two defenders alone.
Bayern's theme is defense and counterattack, so speed is crucial.
As for Messi, Heynckes also arranged a prison for him. As long as he gets the ball, no matter on the left, right or center, he will be double-teamed immediately.
This is also normal.
Everyone believes that Barcelona's Mourinho must have tailored such a defense for Su Dong.
This is the deterrent power of superstars! As long as they are on the court, even if they don't receive the ball, all teams must be on guard.
…………
…………
After waking up from a nap, Su Dong made a video call with Wang Chuqing, his parents and others.
They were staying in the same hotel but had only met last night as they had been travelling since arriving in Madrid.
When they were on video call, they were visiting the famous Goddess of Harvest Square.
That was where Real Madrid celebrated after winning the championship.
"They said that coming here to pray can help you beat Barcelona tonight!" Wang Chuqing said with a smile in the video.
"Who said that? Just because we are mortal enemies?" Su Dong found it nonsensical.
"Whatever, we're here to check in anyway."
After chatting on video for a while, Su Dong went to the hotel swimming pool for a swim.
These are habits he has developed over the years. He knows how to activate his body and muscles before the game so that he can perform better in tonight's game.
Of course, the role of Nuno Cruz and others is to arrange Sudong's training according to Sudong's situation on the day and the time of the game.
For example, today, the competition was held at around nine o'clock in the evening, and I planned to swim in the afternoon to relax.
After having dinner with teammates and resting for a while, Bayern set off for the Bernabeu Stadium.
…
Although the game has not yet started, the area around the Bernabeu and even the entire city of Madrid is already crowded.
The entire Avenida de la Castilla was blocked, with traffic control also implemented in the surrounding areas centered on the Bernabéu.
Only the buses of Bayern and Barcelona, as well as some police cars and vehicles of the organizers, were allowed to enter.
Along the way, we can see that the fans of Bayern and Barcelona are clearly divided. They are all walking in groups towards the Bernabeu, and many of them are carrying various flags and banners.
Seeing Bayern's conspicuous luxury bus passing by, Bayern fans chased after it and shouted, while Barcelona fans booed.
Last year's Champions League final was held in Rome, Italy. Barcelona had relatively few fans and was dominated by Bayern.
But this year is different. It is held in the capital of Spain, which is equivalent to Barcelona's home court. More Barcelona fans will flock to Madrid.
As early as this morning, the Madrid government announced a series of measures to ensure the safety of fans from both sides in Madrid tonight, because there were too many Barcelona and Bayern fans at the venue, especially Barcelona fans.
Many of these fans were unable to buy tickets and were unable to enter the Bernabeu Stadium to watch the game.
Some will choose to go to bars, while others will go to open-air squares arranged by the municipal government to watch the live broadcast.
Of course, for better management, each open-air venue will be arranged for different fans to avoid confusion.
…
When Bayern's bus arrived at the Bernabeu, Su Dong and other teammates slowly got off the bus, thunderous cheers were heard at the scene, and Bayern fans were cheering for the team crazily.
There were many people in the crowd shouting Su Dong's name.
Although he is about to leave Bayern, he is still irreplaceable in the hearts of Bayern fans! Bayern's players did not go directly into the player tunnel, but thanked the fans who were isolated by iron fences a few meters away from them, which made them receive even warmer cheers from the scene.
Countless Bayern fans were shouting "Win the Championship" at the top of their lungs, calling on the team to win the third consecutive championship tonight and create a new record in the club's history! After interacting with the fans for a while, Bayern, at the urging of the organizers, entered the player tunnel and came to the home team's locker room.
When Bayern players were preparing for the last training session before the game in the locker room, a crazy cheer like a tide broke out again outside the stadium.
Obviously, Barcelona has arrived too.
The Champions League final is about to begin!
