Bayern's charter flight quietly arrived at Milan Airport.
A red luxury bus was waiting on the tarmac.
As soon as the plane stopped, the luxury bus drove over and stopped not far from the aircraft ramp.
When the players walked out of the cabin and stepped down the gangway, the female bus driver Sandra Corning and her co-pilot were already waiting in front of the bus, smiling and waving to the players, showing her signature smile.
The players all laughed when they saw them, walked over and gave them high fives one by one, got directly into the bus, and sat down in familiar fixed positions.
Everyone knows very well that Sandra has been in Milan with her co-pilot for two days. During these two days, they have traveled back and forth from the airport to the hotel, and from the hotel to the Meazza Stadium.
Several times, especially to find out the traffic situation in Milan at various time points.
In fact, Bayern has very detailed records of various data on these away games, which can be traced back to more than ten years or even decades ago, which can help the team make better away decisions.
For example, what is the best hotel to stay at during an away game?
Don't underestimate this.
When Ferguson played away to Roma, he complained that the soundproofing facilities of the hotel where the club stayed were so poor that the team's sleep was affected and they could not sleep peacefully. This affected Manchester United's performance in the next day's game.
But every time Bayern goes to an away game, the team will make the most appropriate arrangements, from hotels to transfers to other aspects.
At this moment, there is a kitchen on the bus, as well as some four-person tables facing each other, which can provide some temporary meals for the players. There are also ingredients and drinks brought by the team from Munich, refrigerators, and faucets.
Ceramic stoves and restrooms are all standard features on team buses and are not new at all.
Unlike other teams such as Manchester United, which transformed a 3.89-meter bus into a double-decker bus in order to increase seating capacity, Bayern did not do this. As a result, the bus was very spacious and the space was very comfortable. They tried to provide the best to the players.
riding experience.
It is worth mentioning that this luxury bus sponsored by MAN of Germany in 2008 is also equipped with wireless network, which is very advanced among the buses of European giants.
After picking up the players, the red luxury bus slowly drove out of the airport.
With a length of fourteen meters, a width of two and a half meters, and a height of nearly four meters, this luxury bus looks very powerful and domineering.
Especially the red car body is printed with the names of the team's major sponsors, and the team's slogan is written in German on the side.
"Life is about unity!"
This is undoubtedly a philosophy that represents Bayern and even German football.
The German tank, the core and most basic combat power, isn't it unity?
At the rear of the car, there is another slogan, "The Triple Crown is on the way!" This is what Mann wrote on this newly sponsored luxury bus after winning the Triple Crown in 2008. It looks like
Particularly domineering.
Not to mention the Bundesliga, even in the entire European football world, which team's bus dares to write like this?
But after successfully defending the Triple Crown last season and being dominant in the Champions League this season, who dares to question Bayern's strength? Who dares to say that they have the strength to challenge Bayern?
The players sat in the bus, and the female driver Sandra was responsible for taking them safely to the hotel.
Tomorrow night, Milan Meazza Stadium, Champions League semi-finals!

What is the difference between Mourinho and Rijkaard?
This is the question that Barcelona players have heard the most in the past two years.
Everyone is very strange, why is it that Mourinho's coaching achievements are already so brilliant, but the doubts about him in Catalonia have never stopped, and have even intensified?
Not only fans of other teams don't understand, but even many overseas Barcelona fans don't understand.
That doesn't make sense, does it?
Professional football is all about performance. If your performance improves, what reason do you have to question the level of the head coach?
But only when you are in Barcelona, only the people around Barcelona, and even the players and staff within Barcelona, can you feel the difference more clearly.
Mourinho's desire to control the team is very, very strong!
If Rijkaard is free-range, as long as it does not affect the players' performance on the court, he basically does not interfere with the players' private lives off the court. Even if Ronaldinho often hangs out in nightclubs, he can
Tolerate, even acquiesce.
Rijkaard's management model is the most comfortable for the players. Even Su Dong still says that Rijkaard is the most comfortable head coach who has ever led him, because
What he advocates is to govern by doing nothing.
But this management model will have a drawback, which is that when players slack off, Rijkaard has no very effective method because he basically does not interfere with the players.
Mourinho goes to the other extreme. He interferes very roughly in every aspect of the players' lives and is extremely strict. He is even so demanding that when the players are interviewed by the media, he often gives "guidance on what to say and what not to say."
"Opinion.
One of the most obvious changes is that during the Rijkaard period, there was no need to concentrate the night before a Barcelona game. The players were basically at home and relied entirely on their own consciousness.
But after Mourinho came to power, the first thing he did was to abolish this rule, requiring all players to gather with the team the night before the game, and during the team training period, no family members were allowed to visit.
This is just a small part of it.
Many Barcelona players are very disgusted with Mourinho's rules. Some even the club staff and management can't stand it. They feel that he controls too much and is too lenient, and his requirements are very harsh.
It is always said outside that he has such good results, why does Barcelona still question him?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, it should be the other way around. If his grades were not so good, the voices questioning him would be louder, and he would even be kicked out long ago.
At least, at this moment, Messi has the urge to drive Mourinho away.
…
At the hotel where Barcelona gathered before the game, the staff delivered dinner on time.
Yes, Mourinho requires eating two hours before going to bed and not falling asleep with thirst or hunger.
But his dinner was the same, milk, sardines, vegetables and fruits.
The problem is, none of these have any flavor.
Every time he eats these things, the gluttonous Messi feels like chewing wax, tasteless.
"How long are you going to eat this kind of thing?" Messi threw away the spoon in his hand with a clang, and let out a depressed sigh.
He especially misses Su Dong’s nutritious meals.
Xavi, Iniesta and others on the side also felt bored, but they could only resist the feeling of vomiting and put these things into their mouths one by one, because they were really not delicious.
But, on the eve of every game, they have to eat these things.
At best, it means changing from one vegetable to another vegetable, and from this fruit to another fruit.
This is just the beginning. Tomorrow’s three meals a day must be strictly in accordance with the regulations. This is simply not done by humans!
"Be patient!" Iniesta advised.
"Actually, he made an exception today and allowed us to go to bed after watching this game. Just be content." Harvey also felt very helpless, even a little numb.
He feels that his way of playing football is becoming more and more mechanical and rigid.
In the past, although he was constantly passing the ball again and again, those seemingly boring passes were somewhat different, especially mixed with some of his understanding and analysis of the situation on the court.
But now, he doesn't need to analyze or judge, he just needs to follow the routine arranged by the head coach.
Of course, he wouldn't do it completely, but it was like a tight spell was placed on him, making him feel restricted.
Not only are daily management at two extremes, but even technical and tactical styles are also at two extremes.
Rijkaard emphasizes doing whatever he wants and letting things flow, while Mourinho emphasizes safety and control.
Originally, Barcelona introduced Ibrahimovic in the hope that Ibrahimovic, Eto'o and Messi would form the sharpest attacking combination in today's world football. Unexpectedly, Mourinho transformed Eto'o into a winger.
, keeping him away from the penalty area and the goal.
Ibrahimovic and Messi have been unable to find a point of agreement, which has become very embarrassing.
The current situation is that Ibrahimovic, Eto'o and Messi are not satisfied.
The team is making great progress on the court, but only those in the locker room know what the situation is inside the team.
…
During the live TV broadcast, at the Meazza Stadium, players from Inter Milan and Bayern entered the stadium one after another.
Su Dong stood at the end of the team, but he still stood out from the crowd.
When Messi saw him, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
Su Dong misses Rijkaard's period, so why doesn't Messi do the same?
At that time, Barcelona had Su Dong and Ronaldinho, and that was the happiest time for Messi.
Many people criticized him and said that he was unwilling to cooperate with Ibrahimovic. But the problem is that the Swedish center's brain circuit is not in the same channel as his. How can he cooperate if they don't want to work together?
Can't he cooperate with the high center?
Then why did you cooperate so well with Su Dong in the first place?
Do you want him to be like Eto'o and change himself to cooperate with Ibrahimovic?
Does the Swedish center have this kind of ability?
Since his debut, only one and a half players have made Messi willing to do this.
Half is Ronaldinho, and the other is Su Dong.
In Messi's heart, Ibrahimovic does not have such qualifications yet!
"Su...should we be able to win Inter Milan tonight?" Messi suddenly asked.
Xavi and Iniesta looked at each other and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Bayern's strength is indeed better than Inter Milan.
"If we perform normally, there should be no problem." Iniesta guessed.
Harvey believes, "Inter Milan is playing at home after all. If Mancini defends tightly, Bayern may not have a chance. The Serie A team's defensive strength is still very strong."
Messi looked at Xavi and then asked: "Do you think Samuel and Materazzi can guard Su?"
Well……
Harvey was speechless.
This is indeed a big problem.
If the two central defenders could hold on, Inter Milan would not have asked for Lucio before.
Materazzi is already thirty-six years old, and Samuel is also thirty-two years old.
It's really embarrassing for such a combination to defend Su Dong!
