Hantcek sat on the stage at the post-match press conference and faced a large group of reporters and said:
"Our players have been fully rested. We will form the strongest lineup in the Champions League next Wednesday, and everyone will be in the best condition to face the Madrid Pirates... Becker is in good condition. He has already tied
Caesar's record, this is an amazing achievement. But I think he will not stop here. He will set a new record in the game next Wednesday. I have great confidence in him..."
A reporter raised his hand and asked: "Would it be difficult for you to eliminate your old club?"
Hantcheck shook his head and curled his lips: "I am now the head coach of Blue and White Munich. My job responsibility is to lead Blue and White Munich to win, no matter who the opponent is. I am a professional head coach, so I know what I should do.
What."
"After the first leg, some Madrid media criticized you for lacking respect for your old club. What do you think?"
"I think the greatest respect for my former club is to go all out to beat them in the game. When I coached Madrid Pirates, I also repeatedly emphasized the importance of winning. And what I did in Madrid last week,
It’s just for the pursuit of victory. I believe people who really know me should understand that this is my way of showing respect..."
After Hantcek left the interview, the head coach of Wiesevogelburg appeared at the press conference.
As soon as he sat down, he said: "I came a little early, so I stood outside and listened. Then I wondered if I had gone to the wrong place. I came to the press conference after the Champions League match between Munich and Pirates of Madrid.
?"
At this point, he smiled: "I'm kidding. In fact, I just blessed Hantcek after meeting him, hoping that they can eliminate Madrid Pirates in the second round next Wednesday... In this way
, we defeated the Blue and White Munich, and the Blue and White Munich also advanced to the finals, everyone is really happy..."

"mess!!"
The commentator roared in a long voice.
On the pitch, Hu Lai ran from the goal to the corner flag area, and then made his signature celebration.
"Scored twice! This is Hu's second goal in this game! He helped Madrid Pirates rewrite the score to 2:1! They finally led Turias in the away game! Hu's condition is really good
Ah! At the same time, this is also his thirty-second consecutive league goal, and his fifty-third league goal!"
"Although Hu scored consecutive goals and was in excellent form. However, because he had to compete with the Kings of Madrid and Catalonia for the league championship, Parotti did not make a substantial rotation of the team's lineup in this game, which will definitely affect the Pirates players.
Their physical fitness... And in the match between Blue and White Munich against Wiesevogelburg on the weekend, all players were rotated. They would rather lose than ensure that the players' physical fitness was sufficient..."
"... In addition, perhaps in order to allow Hu to continue his scoring record in the league, Parotti has not dared to make any adjustments to Hu and has to let him play in every game. This will definitely accumulate Hu's
The level of fatigue, at the end of the season, a slight difference in physical fitness may affect the performance in the game..."
The German commentator first praised and then disparaged.
In front of the TV, Munich head coach Hantcek said to several coaches around him: "Don't listen to the commentator's nonsense. Facts have proved that Hu's physical fitness will not have any problems for you. He has been almost full attendance this season.
He missed two Copa del Rey games and one Super Cup, and played in all other games, but have you seen any physical problems with him?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"So we still have to carry out the strictest defense against Hu in Wednesday's game and don't give him any chance. Only by containing Hu's goal scoring possibility can we reverse and eliminate them at home."
At the 70th minute, Hu Lai was finally replaced.
Then in the 82nd minute, Parotti used the last substitution.
But it wasn't Maxi Carey who was replaced.
"Parotti probably won't let Kyrie play in the second round," Hantcek asserted upon seeing this. "Otherwise, he won't let Kyrie play the whole game."
"Doesn't that mean the Buccaneers will choose a more passive strategy in the second round," first assistant coach Michel Studd said.
"It should be like this. Parotti wants to play defensive counterattack."
"But can they defend it?" Second Assistant Coach Grimand Elmer asked. "They are not good at defense."
"The Pirates are not a defensive team, but that doesn't mean they can't defend well. But..."
Hantcek hesitated for a while before shaking his head and said: "Parotti is still too timid. If I were him, I would attack at the beginning of the away game to disrupt our pre-match plan.
Don't let us play comfortably..."
"'Good guy', he still lacks a bit of personality." Aylmer commented. "Otherwise, why did he win 2:1 in the first leg last season and be overturned by the King of Madrid in the second round away from home? There is something missing.
He is too courageous and too cautious. In the league, his cautious approach can help the team win the championship, but in the Champions League, if he is timid, he will fail."
Madrid Pirates' head coach Ettore Parotti was heavily criticized after being eliminated by their arch-rivals in the Champions League semi-finals last season.
He can be regarded as the person directly responsible for the loss.
Some people say that Parotti was too conservative and cautious when he went to the away game with the total score leading, which ultimately led to the team's failure.
Parotti has not defended himself, and has confirmed such criticism.
After the initial defeat, there were rumors that Parotti would be fired. It was believed that such a personalityless head coach could no longer lead the Pirates forward.
If Parotti hadn't led the team to the league championship in the end, he might have been fired...
For comparison, when Hantcek led the Madrid Pirates to be eliminated by the Turin Bulls in the Champions League semi-finals, there were no rumors about Hantcek's dismissal after the game.
From this we can see who is more popular.
Hantcheck didn't want members of the coaching staff to talk too much about his successor, so he got the conversation back on track.
"Okay, don't worry about who Parotti is. We just need to do our own thing. Now, the good thing for us is that without Kyrie, their offensive threat will be relatively small. The bad thing is that
On the other hand, if we fail to score, the space behind us may be caught by them. So I require the whole team to maintain enough high pressure and fast pace to play this game, and to be physically prepared..."
He began to assign tasks to the coaching staff.
Everyone also became serious, got rid of the previous chatting and gossiping state, and entered into the rhythm of work.

Before Mark Becker left for training, his wife stopped him at the door:
"I have been praying to God for this matter for a week. Just this morning, I received her revelation. The Lord told me that you will definitely score a goal in tomorrow's game and break Caesar's record."
When Becker heard this, he smiled slightly, then lowered his head and gave his wife a passionate kiss: "Thank you, Elsa. I am full of strength now."
"Come on, Mark, you are the best!"
The couple said goodbye at the door. Becker will not return home after training.
He will stay in a hotel with his teammates to recharge his batteries and prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals tomorrow night.
And his wife will also go to the scene to cheer for her husband and witness with her own eyes the special moment when the Lord sends blessings.

"Melli! Melli is dribbling the ball at high speed! In front of him is the goal of Sporting Amsterdam. No one can stop him anymore... Beautiful! The ball is scored!! Melli Banega! This is his game.
The second goal! Although it is only sixty-five minutes, the game is over! Ladies and gentlemen! The game is over! The King of Madrid has led Atlético Amsterdam 2:0 at their home court, with a total score of 5:1!
Is there any suspense about the outcome of this game?"
The Crown Stadium sounded the majestic team anthem of the King of Madrid.
During the team song, Melli hugged and celebrated with his teammates.
In the distance, in a corner beyond the reach of the camera, Chen Xingyi was leaning over with his hands on his knees, breathing heavily.
This is the fourth time he has played against Melli this season, and it is still so disappointing...
I originally wanted to join Hu Lai in the final and stage a "Chinese Derby" in the Champions League final, but now I can only watch the King of Madrid reach the Champions League final for the second consecutive season...
Mellie is the superstar that everyone is looking for, but he is hidden in the darkness outside the spotlight.
Damn! I really learned from Hu Lai the experience of being eliminated by Meili...
Chen Xingyi thought mockingly.
"The Kings of Madrid have reached the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons. They will have the opportunity to challenge for two consecutive championships!"
