Chapter 600： New captain

As early as the winter break of last season, the German Football Association announced the suspension of the 2008 German League Cup.

The reason is that because of the European Cup, the League Cup schedule is affected.

But in fact, everyone knows that this is just a bad excuse.

The German League Cup adopts a knockout system. There are a total of six teams, including the Bundesliga Champions, Cup Champions and the top four teams in the Bundesliga. However, such a confrontation is not very attractive, especially there is no way to attract sponsorship Quotient.

In the final analysis, professional football is still business-oriented, and games without commercial value are often unsustainable.

What's more, the participating teams have always regarded the League Cup as a warm-up event and would not care about it at all.

In this case, the suspension of the League Cup did not cause too much controversy.

Instead, at the beginning of this year, Bayern took the initiative to launch an initiative, hoping to resume the German Super Cup.

Like the Super Cup of other countries, the competition system is a single match between the league champion and the cup champion. This is undoubtedly more suspenseful and more commercial than the lengthy League Cup.

At least it can be seen from the fact that the Super Cup in other countries can continue to be held for so many years.

As a result, Bayern's initiative has been supported by other Bundesliga teams, especially when Bayern won the Triple Crown and played with Bayern in the Super Bowl when it was the Hornets Dortmund, which attracted the support of many sponsors.

Not to mention that Dortmund was only ranked 13th in the league last season, but as one of the most brilliant teams in Bundesliga history, Dortmund still has a very good fan influence.

Bayern vs. Dortmund, such a Super Bowl itself is full of fancy, sponsors are also rushing.

The German Football Association did not give approval, but acquiesced to Bayern and Dortmund to organize themselves.

The time was set at the end of July, and the location was chosen at Dortmund's home stadium, Signal Iduna Park Stadium.

Although this event has not been officially titled by the Football Association, everyone knows that this is actually the German Super Cup.

It is worth mentioning that Dortmund decided to change coaches after a poor performance last season and chose Mainz coach Klopp, who had failed to lead the promotion in the Bundesliga.

The 40-year-old German marshal was once Bayern’s head coach candidate and was favored by Hoenes.

But unfortunately, in order to be safe, Bayern chose the old coach Heynckes, which made the young coach switch to Dortmund.

This will also be the first official game of Klopp coaching Dortmund.

Before the team headed north for Dortmund, Bayern held a locker room meeting at the training center on Sebena Avenue. A crucial decision to make was to choose the captain.

After Kahn retired, the captain's vacancy came out. Deputy captain Saniol currently plays less time, so in some warm-up matches, the captain's armband is worn on Ram's arm.

In fact, many stars in the Bayern team used to be captains in their respective teams, such as Van Bommel, but in Bayern, Van Bommel's current positioning is still a rotation role, especially when Tymoshchuk joined, as well as Modric. Van Bommel's situation will be even more embarrassing when he shines in the European Cup.

The Dutch have some strength, but Schweinsteiger and Modric have both acted vigorously.

After the change of position, the piggy is not only Bayern's midfielder, but also performed very well in the German national team.

Not to mention Modric, one of the best players in this European Cup.

In this case, Van Bommel is very difficult to compete with them.

If in accordance with the usual practice, after the captain retires, the deputy captain is the most powerful contender, but Sagnol is not in a good position now.

After a serious injury, Sagnol lost his main position, and even clamored to leave the team for a time. Now people are staying, but the position is still not available. After all, the age is there.

Su Dong was originally very competitive. Many Bayern players and management, including Kahn, believed that if he was elected, there would be basically no suspense.

But before the election, Su Dong took the initiative to clarify in the locker room that he would not come out for the election. He had no interest in this aspect, and he wanted to concentrate all his energy on training and competition instead of being distracted by other affairs.

Some people are keen to be the captain and hold a certain amount of power, but Su Dong doesn't need it.

Firstly, he is not of this kind of personality, and secondly, he does not need this power, because his current privilege itself is above the whole team. Whoever is the captain, or even the head coach, does not have to treat him as an uncle. What?

It’s better to be polite to each other. Who provokes Su Dong and makes him unhappy, this captain, this head coach is still doing a long time?

Therefore, Su Dong retreated, but it seemed atmospheric.

The final result was that Ram was unanimously elected as the new captain of Bayern.

This is also very interesting. Ram and Ribery are tied for the shortest player in the team. As a result, Ram has become the captain and has to go ahead in everything and make an appearance for his teammates. It's funny when you think about it.

However, Ram did a very good job in serving his teammates.

The deputy captain elected three, Sagnol, Lucio and Schweinsteiger.

Although Sagnol has lost his main position, he is a club meritorious service and it is understandable to retain his position as deputy captain.

Lucio's deputy captain is a carrot that Heynckes hangs in front of him, so that the Brazilian central defender can continue to improve himself, and it is best to make himself more calm.

On the contrary, it is the piglet Schweinsteiger, who is regarded as the object of Bayern's top and bottom.

The captain was elected, and the locker room began to formulate some rules, basically the same as before, no problem.

But as usual, the new captain asked everyone in the team to have a big meal, which was regarded as a meeting ceremony.

Subsequently, the club informed the outside world about the choice of the dressing room, and received the approval of Heynckes.

The media and fans are basically satisfied with this result. More than 30% of fans agree with Ram as the captain.

But what's interesting is that there are more fans choosing Su Dong as the captain than Ram, so that after the result, many fans still feel wronged for Su Dong, why didn't he come to be the captain?

Although he was the captain, due to his participation in the European Cup finals, Lahm returned to the team later and the progress was not consistent with the team. Therefore, Sagnol started the Super Cup against Dortmund.

It is said to be the Super Bowl, but it is actually a more formal warm-up match.

I don't know if it was because of the missed captain, Sagnol was very active at the beginning of this game.

In just eight minutes, he instigated an offensive on the right, Robben picked a pass in the middle, Su Dong headed from close range, broke Dortmund's goal, opened the record for Bayern, one to zero!

Losing the ball did not water the enthusiasm and desire of the Hornets players.

At home, Dortmund played very oppressive. The team adopted a tactic of pressing and oppressing the whole court, just like a crazy boxer, constantly waving his fists.

This chaotic punch of the Hornet made Bayern also have to temporarily avoid its edge.

Until the 27th minute, Sagnol initiated an offense from the right. Robben dribbled the ball in and sent a straight pass with his left foot. After Su Dong succeeded in offside, he dribbled the ball past the attack. Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, easily pushed the empty goal and succeeded, two to zero!

...

Ending the first half with a score of two to zero, Heynckes made a significant substitution during the intermission.

This is not a formal game after all, and there is no strict restriction on substitutions, so Heynckes replaced seven main players in one breath during the intermission. Obviously, he still hopes to use Dortmund to investigate the players.

With the departure of the main players such as Su Dong, Dortmund's tactical play gradually revealed its power. In the beginning of the second half, he even pulled two goals and successfully equalized the score.

Su Dong was also stunned to watch from the sidelines.

Hummels was obviously unable to adapt to Dortmund's fast-paced whirlwind after coming off the bench. He seemed a little dwarfed, his performance was not ideal, and Van Bitten was also not much better.

Fortunately, in the 73rd minute, Otter counterattacked after stealing the ball and assisted Olic to score a goal.

In the end, Bayern narrowly beat Dortmund 3-2.

…………

…………

After playing the Super Bowl from Dortmund, Bayern returned to Munich for a break, and Bayern played another warm-up match with Cologne.

In the eighteenth minute of the opening, Su Dong used a long shot to penetrate the Cologne goal and set the record for Bayern.

After that, Bayern firmly controlled the game and did not leave Cologne an opportunity to take advantage of.

Before the end of the first half, Saniol on the right side came in again, and Robben made a two-on-one match with Robben, and sent the ball to the goal. Su Dong rushed to the goal and made a calm push. Hit, two to zero!

After changing sides in the second half, Heynckes replaced all the starting players again and replaced eleven players in the second half.

Bayern played a bit chaotically in the second half, but it soon improved.

What is unexpected is that a sudden rainstorm disrupted the process of this game and prevented the performance of Bayern players in the second half.

Especially in the last ten minutes, it ended hastily.

In the end, Bayern defeated Cologne with a 2-0 in the first half.

…………

…………

The warm-up matches and the Super Cup Lien Chan won the victory, Bayern Munich's tyrannical strength allowed them to get the unanimous recognition of the media and fans.

Everyone believes that Bayern is the number one favorite for Bundesliga titles this season.

Heynckes also expressed confidence that he hopes to lead Bayern to win three consecutive championships.

In the history of the Bundesliga, only two teams have won three consecutive championships, namely Bayern and Monchengladbach.

Bayern has had three consecutive championships, namely Beckenbauer and Ged Müller's 70s, and the mid-1980s, as well as the turn of the century when Heathfield coached, which are the pinnacles of Bayern history.

After Beckenbauer led Bayern to win the first three consecutive championships in the history of the Bundesliga, Monchengladbach also quickly won a three consecutive championships. At that time, the soul leader of Monchengladbach was the top scorer. Heynckes.

Yes, it's the current Bayern coach Jie Lao.

Therefore, this old man still has a lot of affection for this.

But Bayern's challenge is not small. The first game of the new season is the North and South Derby, against Hamburg.
