Chapter 446 Close to Idol
Three minutes later, at the age of 41, Bremer, with deep eyes and resolute appearance, walked into the conference hall.
Born in Hamburg, Germany, Bremer joined Kaiserslautern at the age of 21 in 1981 after emerging from Ullenhorst and Saarbrücken. From 1986 to 1988, Bremer played for Bayern Munich and won the Bundesliga in 1987. In 1988, Bremer and Mateus joined Inter Milan to help Inter win their first Serie A championship in 17 years by 11 points. In 1993, Bremer returned to Germany and returned to Kaiser. He won the FA Cup in 1996 and the Bundesliga in 1998. In the summer of 1989, Klinsmann put on the Inter jersey, and three German carriages took shape, which was also the best time for Inter Milan in the past 20 years.
However, Bremer's most brilliant achievement is still in the World Cup. As a left-back, Bremer is the first person in the West German team to win the championship in 1990. In the team's scorer list, Mateus ranked first with 4 goals, and Bremer (3 goals) tied for second place with Klinsmann and Waller, only one goal away. In terms of assists, Bremer is the assist king of West Germany, with a total of three assists and one of the most assists in that World Cup.
Although such a legendary superstar has left professional football, his influence is still there. Many old Italian reporters are familiar with this great golden left foot, so Bremer's popularity in Milan is not much less than Jiang Mu. When Bremer entered the hall, the hall immediately applauded.
Seeing the idol appear, Jiang Mu stood up and shook hands with Bremer. He solemnly said for a long time before sitting down separately, waiting for the beginning of the press conference.
The UEFA host first invited Bremer, the head coach of the visiting team, to speak.
Bremer nodded to the reporters, and then sighed, "When I came here, I remembered the successful experience I had achieved at Inter Milan. I was very excited to review those games that were as important as this one. For a long time, Inter Milan performed badly, but I know they will rise sooner or later, because Inter Milan is a great team.
Speaking of the opponent, Bremer said: "Now Inter Milan is very strong, and President Moratti has found a suitable coach. I know that the fans are very supportive of their team. In this case, it is difficult to win the game away from home, but we must overcome the difficulties by ourselves, because the European championship is the most honor I yearn for.
Bremer praised Basler, who has been paying more attention to fans and the media recently. "Mario can add a super in front now. His excellent performance is an important reason for our recent rise in performance. He is still our trustworthy core in this game. However, only when the whole team performs well. At that time, talented players are more likely to stand out. We can't rely on one player alone to save the team.
When the reporter asked Bremer about the difference between being a coach and being a player, Bremer said funnyly, "When I was a player, I really hoped that I could stand on the sidelines and command. Now that I am a coach, I often can't wait to play in person."
As a superstar who has played in Serie A and Bundesliga at the same time and has won the championship, the reporter will inevitably ask Bremer to talk about the difference between the Bundesliga and Serie A. Bremer replied: "Each league has its own characteristics. There is only one super first-class team in the Bundesliga, that is, Bayern, but other strong teams have the opportunity to win the championship, while Serie A has three giants, and other teams have no hope of winning the championship, which is different from other leagues. I think players should choose the most suitable league for them based on their experience throughout their career, so that they can succeed.
Then Jiang Mu first talked about the upcoming game when he spoke. "This will never be an easy game. Kaiserslautern will always surprise people, just like they won the championship as soon as they rose to the Bundesliga. In the league that did not perform well in the past. In the cup, they may also do something surprising. I have observed all the games of Kaiserslautern in the last five seasons. They have played very well. Although there are not so many daunting names in their lineup, it does not affect their lethality at all.
Jiang Mu has not been defeated by any opponent since he took office, which also makes reporters curious about when Inter Milan will suffer the first defeat. Jiang Mu said that the later the failure, the better.
"Every team will fail. Even if we are put into Serie B, we may fail. The difference is only the time of failure. I hope that the later the failure will come, the better. Just like what I did in Alkmaar, I hope the defeat will come after we win the championship."
Although Jiang Mu rarely announced the team's starting lineup in the morning, the reporter couldn't help raising this question that made everyone curious.
Jiang Mu replied: "It is difficult to choose 11 players from 30 players in excellent condition. All players want to participate in such an important game, but unfortunately, we can only send 14 players at most. I have confirmed the personnel. The goalkeeper will still be Frey. The other players are Sanetti, Cordoba, Materazzi, Grosso, Pirlo, Dibianio, Sedorf, Rekoba, Vieri, and there is another player. I won't say anything. Let's leave a space for everyone's imagination.
Then a reporter asked Jiang Mu if Inter Milan is a perfect team. If it is not perfect, how far is this team from perfect?
In this regard, Jiang Mu said that Inter Milan is not a perfect team, and it is far from perfect, but he also believes that there is no perfect team in the world. Jiang Mu explained to the reporter what kind of team Inter Milan is now. "This is not a perfect team. A perfect team may not win the game, but this is a team that can win the game. We have all four things, which we can beat. The main reason for the seemingly unbeatable opponent is that when I took over this team, we were scattered, and 11 players had dozens of hearts, because many people were still distracted. At that time, no matter how perfect the configuration of the team was, it was difficult to win the game, so I didn't plan to buy people, but in terms of cohesion. Let's start. In the end, our transformation was successful. Inter Milan won 11 league games in a row, and the UEFA Cup was also three wins and one draw. What we need to do now is to maintain this state, instead of thinking about buying people.
When the reporter asked Jiang Mu if he was concerned about who would win the other League Cup semi-final, Jiang Mu replied, "I don't care now, but after the game, I definitely want to know who will advance. Liverpool and Barcelona are very powerful teams. They are both likely to win the League Cup, but we and Kaiserslautern also It's not bad. We are all likely to win the championship.
An Italian reporter asked, "When you took over Inter Milan, you once said that you would win at least one championship, and now it is possible to win the league and the cup. Which one do you think is more likely?"
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "It's the same big."
A German reporter said, "Coach Jiang Mu, which champion do you prefer?"
Jiang Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's like you asking me whether I like my left hand or right hand. It's difficult for me to answer."
Jiang Mu's metaphor made the reporters at the scene laugh. Bremer was also surprised by Jiang Mu's ability to control the atmosphere of the press conference. He felt that he was very good at dealing with the media, but when Jiang Mu was so old, he was like a young man with the cunning reporter. Compared with Jiang Mu I don't know where it is.
Then the reporters asked a few more questions. When the host saw that the time had come, he announced the end of the press conference. Jiang Mu and Bremer shook hands and said goodbye. However, this time, Jiang Mu felt that Bremer used much more strength when shaking hands with him than before the press conference. It seemed that the superstar young marshal was more competitive.
The game starts at 7:45 p.m., and the stadium is basically full 30 minutes before the start of the game.
Due to Inter Milan's excellent results, the attendance rate of an ordinary league match is as high as more than 90%, and such a semi-final of the UEFA Cup has attracted many Inter Milan fans.
Inter Milan's commentator Skapini wears an Inter Milan jersey and holds the list of appearances submitted by both sides, but there is no guarantee that there will be any change when the players come out of the locker room, because Jiang Mu has always done unexpected things and is full of strangeness.
When there were 5 minutes before the start of the game and the two teams lined up from the locker room under the leadership of Norwegian referee Pedersen, Scarpini was relieved, because the players were exactly the same as those on the list.
"... Kaiserslautern's starter: goalkeeper George. Koch, defender Ramucci, Harry. Koch, Booker, Latin Nijo, midfielder: Christo, Basler, Strasser and Deyokov, striker: Klos, Roqueventz... This is an offensive starter. Although Coach Bremer is a full-back, he is obviously ready to get an away goal in Meacha today, but they want to Be careful not to be beaten into a sieve by Inter Milan...
Inter Milan's starting lineup is no different from what Jiang Mu said at the pre-match press conference. It is rare for him to be so honest. Now the last starting mystery has also been revealed. He is Dalma. In this way, Inter Milan's lineup has become 442, goalkeeper Frey, and the four defenders are Sanetti. , Kordoba, Materazzi, Grosso, four midfielders: Pirlo, Dibianio, Sidov, double strikers: Rekoba, Vieri, but because Rekoba is the ninth and a half, Zanetti can play midfielder, so this lineup can also become 451, 361. If bolder, it can also become 433, it's not that Zanetti and Darma have played wingers... Let's see how the 11 players of Inter Milan are combined in a while.
