When Lucas Sutton lifted his blindfold and woke up from his sleep, he found himself still in heaven.

"Hey, haven't arrived yet?" he asked the glory next to him in a strange way.

Rongguang shook his head: "It's fast, it's hovering."

"Round?" Lucas became even more strange.

"Well, look out the window."

Hearing Glory's words, Lucas turned his head and looked out the porthole, and found that the sky was covered with clouds in the distance, with lightning and thunder in the dark clouds.

"this"

"March thunderstorm, planes are waiting for the weather to improve..."

Before Rong Guang finished speaking, he heard the sweet voice of the stewardess from the cabin radio: "Ladies and gentlemen. We are very sorry to notify you... Due to the bad weather in Manchester, we will land at John Lennon Airport in Liverpool..."

"Ah?" Everyone's cry of disappointment came from the cabin.

But the planes cannot be diverted by their will.

Amid the exclamation, the direction has been changed.

"It's the first time I've been playing so many years that I've encountered such a plane taking place in other airports... This is really an ominous sign," Lucas Sutton sighed.

"Shut up, Lucas" Schweinsteiger, who was sitting in front, stood up and turned to Lucas.

Lucas shrugged.

※※※

The plane finally landed in Liverpool. After waiting for a while, all the players waited for the bus that temporarily transferred from Manchester, and then took the bus to Manchester.

Generally, European teams play away games and take planes, but buses also have to accompany you. From the hotel to the competition venue, you need to rely on buses.

Each team has several buses and a fixed driver.

However, the bus does not take a plane with the team, but has to set out in advance to the destination. Fortunately, there are roads in the whole of Europe now, and even the continental European islands have undersea tunnels or ship ferries, so traffic is not a problem.

Therefore, if the plane cannot fly, the team will choose to take the team's bus directly to the away game. These buses are very luxurious buses, including bars, kitchens, toilets and other living facilities. Except for the poor rest, there are everything.

But unless it is absolutely necessary, no one will be willing to take a bus to play away games in the Champions League. Because the journey is long and the journey is exhausted, it is easy to get tired. Fatigue will greatly affect the condition.

Even ordinary people will be very tired if they are allowed to ride on a long-distance bus for a day and a night, let alone players who need to stay in shape. They have very high requirements for rest. If they don’t have a good rest, their game condition will be affected.

Even a slight impact will be magnified and expressed in the game, and will eventually become an important weight to determine the victory or defeat of the two teams.

So for Bayern Munich, this away trip was already a struggle.

It was supposed to land directly at Manchester International Airport, but due to weather reasons, the players were allowed to land in Liverpool for half an hour at the airport. Then, in order to wait for the bus coming from Manchester, the team waited at the airport for almost an hour.

I returned to Manchester from Liverpool. Because the weather was bad, there was a traffic jam on the highway, which delayed more than 40 minutes.

After finally arriving at the hotel, all the players were exhausted.

Seeing this, Magath, who had originally planned to arrange for a training game in the evening, had to cancel the training game.

Because the players are so tired, what they need now is rest, not training

The media reporters who specialize in tracking and reporting on Bayern Munich couldn't help but frown when they saw the players with tired faces outside the hotel lobby.

"This mental state is very rare."

"Of course, you'll know if you look at the troubles of this trip today."

"Fortunately we came here early. If tomorrow is a game against Manchester United, I really don't think they can win away games. Even if they lose the game, I think it's understandable..."

"I hope they can quickly adjust their status in these few days..."

Everyone was talking, until the last Bayern player disappeared in the lobby, and the conversation continued.

Manchester the next day was still cloudy and rainy, but it was much smaller than yesterday's thunderstorm. But the drizzle was always constant, which was still annoying.

In the morning, the whole team took a bus to Carrington, the training base of Manchester City Club. Next door was the training base of Manchester United Club, and the two sides were very close.

Before the training began, Manchester City's head coach Stewart Pierce came to the training ground to meet Bayern Munich's head coach Magath, greeted him as the host, then chatted for a few words, and left. After all, he also had his own job.

Then Bayern Munich's entire team started training in the rain

"It's so wet here, I think my underwear is all wet," complained Lucas.

His complaints caused laughter from the players.

"I'm afraid it's not the bad weather that Lucas gets your underwear wet," Schweinsteiger shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, Schweiyin is right." The other teammates immediately followed suit.

Assistant coach Henk glanced at Lux, who caused laughter, and said to the players: "This is typical weather in Britain, you have to hurry up and adapt.

Magath looked up at the sky. According to the weather forecast for the next few days, it will keep raining in Manchester and on the match day.

What will rain in Old Trafford turn into the turf when it rains for several consecutive days?

I hope the stadium drainage system is good enough...

I don't fucking want to play a water ball

When the players got used to it, Magath walked to the middle of the players and said to them: "Change the plan, guys. The training content we will start from now on will be mainly high-altitude balls."

The players looked at each other.

Bayern Munich mainly plays ground attacks in the Bundesliga, which is a typical European football style.

Why do you suddenly change to playing high-altitude balls?

"We have also seen this weather condition. According to the weather forecast, there will be rain in the next few days and will continue until the match day. So we must be prepared for the rain battle." Magath explained. "It rained for several consecutive days, and the situation of the game venue can be imagined. Under such a venue, it is no longer suitable for us to continue to play on the ground, so we must make appropriate adjustments... For this reason, we will mainly use high-altitude balls in this game. When we attack the opponent within 30 meters of the area, we must make more air passes, and then... Lucas."

"I'm here, coach" Lucas raised his hand.

"And... Rong, you will shoulder the heavy responsibility of using headers to conduct air strikes in the game..."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Glory.

Rongguang has been practicing heading, which is what everyone knows. So when they look at Rongguang, they are not surprised that the head coach will let Rongguang head the ball in this game, but instead cast a trusted look at Rongguang.

Bayern Munich players have seen Glory's heading ability in these months of daily training.

Glory's progress in heading practice was as fast as his speed, as amazingly fast.

The teammates didn't care about Rong Guang's header in the last league game. The header was too hasty, and it was normal for Rong Guang to not reach it, so there was nothing to be surprised.

Now that the head coach said he wanted to play high altitude ball and let Rongguang compete for the header, his teammates naturally supported Rongguang and would not have any doubts like "Can he do it?"

Rongguang raised his chest in the eyes of everyone: "Look, coach."

"Very good, let's start training now." Magath waved and assistant coach Henk walked out.

Amid his whistle, training officially began.

※※※

Bayern Munich trained in Manchester for a few days, and the rain lasted for a few days, which was very big and small, which made people very unhappy.

On the first day, when Lucas said that his underwear was wet, there were still players in Bayern Munich who burst into laughter, as if Lucas was telling a funny joke.

But now, no one has joked about what Lucas said.

Because their feelings are similar to those of Lucas...

The only thing that made Magath happy was that he decided to do high ball training as soon as he arrived in Manchester. After these days of training, the players are no longer so unfamiliar with the way they frequently crossed during the offense.

Now, at least, he can still play against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Otherwise, if we continue to stick to the ground offensive style, Bayern Munich will kneel down in this game.

After finishing the last day of training, Bayern Munich took a bus back to the hotel.

After a night off in the hotel, the next day was the match against Manchester United.

But when the team's bus arrived at the hotel where they were staying, they found that the hotel was full of police cars, fire trucks and ambulances.

A cordon was set up at the hotel gate, and there were police guarding the Internet.

They are stopping the reporters carrying cameras, cameras.

In addition, there were some ordinary passers-by watching, and everyone was in the same position - looking up at the sky with a terrified expression.

"What's going on?" Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in amazement.

"Did we go to the wrong place? We were doing well when we came out, but why did we become like this when we came back?"

"Look," Lucas Sutton, who was lying on the car window and looking out, suddenly pointed at it and shouted.

Everyone rushed over and looked out the window.

It didn't matter when it saw it, and everyone was shocked.

They then found that about seven floors of the hotel... thick black smoke came out of several windows, and firelights were reflected from those windows from time to time...

The fire truck had already set up a ladder, and the firefighter with a water gun was standing on the ladder and rising.
