Chapter 406 Dare to confront Bayern?yes but not much

While the two teams were fighting in full swing, news came from the other side of the stadium.

Benfica led AEK Athens 2-0 at home, basically securing the victory.

In this way, Bayern only needs to draw to qualify for second place in the group.

But the coaches of the two teams are not satisfied with the current score.

The currently confirmed group No. [-] are Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain, Porto, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund.

If Bayern qualify second in the group, they can only avoid Dortmund in their own league. The rest of the opponents are very strong. Heynckes does not want to meet them so early.

Ajax is a typical Dutch team that focuses on offense but not defense. Facing a strong team like Bayern, if they defend, they will die faster.

Also, when Heynckes made everything public, you Ten Hag could only draw at home, which is not a good face to spread.

Brother Teng also wants to save face.

Combining various factors on and off the court, the two teams will definitely not stop at this point in the last 20 minutes.

After the substitutions between the two sides, the tempo picked up again instantly.

In the 72nd minute, Bayern took the lead in starting the team.

After taking off the opponent's corner kick with both hands, Neuer trotted and sprinted, throwing the ball forward.

Lewandowski returned to Tiago in the middle circle, turned around and advanced.

Since De Ligt participated in the corner kick attack, it was too late to return to the defense. De Jong could only reach out and pull, trying to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.

But Thiago dribbled with a low center of gravity, quick steps, and a small change of direction to accelerate, throwing off De Jong's hand.

After taking a few steps, Leitona had already plugged in from the back row and ran all the way along the baseline.

After receiving a pass from his ballmate, he used a paused rhythm change to mobilize Mazrawi's center of gravity, and strode the ball forward.

This time, Mazraoui's turn was not slow, sticking tightly to the left side of Leitona, blocking the line of the inside cut and cross.

In the forward acceleration, Mazraoui has been trying to use his body to fight, disrupting the opponent's dribbling rhythm.

But Leitona's center of gravity was not affected at all.

Just when the two were about to enter the penalty area, Leitona waded the ball a little too big, and the ball was a little far away from his control range. Mazraoui decisively tackled the ball.

But he still underestimated Leitona's speed, before his foot touched the ball, Leitona stepped away.

This time, the strength was a little stronger, and with the forward rush of the body, Leitona could no longer stop the ball and could only sweep the ball to the goal.

Onana blocked the near corner, but the ball was fast and passed under his armpit.

When he looked back, Lewandowski had already appeared.

It's empty!
Just as the fans of the home team behind the goal got up with their heads in their arms, a figure suddenly came, and before Lewandowski shot, he fell to the ground and slid to clear the ball in front of the goal line.

[Unbelievable, simply incredible! 】

[Ajax staged the ultimate goal line rescue! 】

[It's their captain! 】

[Central defender De Ligt! 】

[Can you believe it, he was fighting for a header in the Bayern penalty area just now! 】

[He actually returned to his home defense area so quickly! 】

[This speed! 】

[This hard work! 】

【This is the captain of Ajax! 】

After completing the clearance, there was an astonishing roar in the stadium.

It's too stable, too morale-boosting!

After the clearance ball was unloaded by Blind with his chest, he directly kicked and transferred to the right.

This time, it was Ajax's counterattack.

Before Leitona had time to return to the defense, Vidal immediately rushed towards the ball.

Ziyech, who was dribbling the ball, suddenly stopped, and the front of his right foot passed the ball between Vidal's legs, avoiding the fierce grab, and cut inward.

Tadic was already starting forward, running from the half-space into the Bayern penalty area.

boom!
Ziyech's pass passed directly between the two central defenders.

[Very clever pass, passed behind Hummels! 】

[Let him have no time to take care of it! 】

[Neuer is out! 】

Whoa! ! ! !

In the amazement of the home fans, Neuer was ahead of the opponent and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.

The suffocating offensive and defensive transformation of the two teams did not look like they fought for 70 minutes at all.

The reason for this is the tactics of both sides.

Teams that both emphasize high pressing and inserting in the back row can frequently use each other's space to attack and score goals.

If they encounter those weak teams who are afraid of their own strength and choose to hide and defend, it will be difficult for them to find offensive space.

Both teams are veteran giants, how could they shrink back and fight counterattacks?
In the past few years, there are not a few teams that dare to play against Bayern.

Especially after the 70th minute, there are very few teams that can draw with Bayern.

Based on this alone, Ten Hag's coaching level dare not be underestimated.

However, just after the game entered the 80th minute, the evenly matched balance was instantly broken.

First of all, it was Bayern's substitution adjustment, with Leitona removed and Kingsley Coman replaced.

In this game, Leitona's performance was quite remarkable, posing several threats on the wing.

Ajax's corner, cleared by Hummels, falls to Thiago.

Under Blind's press, Thiago passed Kimmich back.

boom!
Kimmich made a precise guidance from the backcourt and passed the ball to Koeman's feet, forming a 1v1 situation on the wing.

Koeman was not obsessed with breaking through with the ball. When he saw Rossi go forward, he used the arch of his right foot to push an arc behind the ball and bypassed Tagliafico.

Rossi occupied a favorable position when he advanced, deliberately slowed down and adjusted his body balance.

This pause caused the left central defender Wobel to make a mistake in his judgment on the tackle.

As soon as he hit the ground, Rossi flicked the ball away at a faster speed.

Not only did his tackle miss the ball, but it tripped Rossi into the penalty area.

The moment the whistle blew, he knew he had made a serious mistake, so he stood up and raised his arms, looking very innocent.

But the referee decisively pointed to the penalty spot and showed him a yellow card.

There is no problem.

Rossi stood in front of the penalty spot, after hearing the referee's whistle,

approach,

Great shot!

No one expected that Rossi, who has always focused on cunning, would shoot a simple, direct and vigorous volley.

The whole process seemed to say, sorry, I'm in a hurry!

Before the goalkeeper Onana had time to react, the ball had already flown into the net, and he angrily kicked the ball into the net again.

With the score behind, Ajax immediately stepped up their attack.

They used the last substitution spot, removed the full-back Tagliafico, and replaced the attacking midfielder Labyard.

But at this time the rhythm of the game is no longer on Ajax's side.

Bayern's attack is tight and flexible. It counterattacks but does not require too much to steal the ball. It emphasizes retreating, but it is not a brainless all-back defense, but an orderly retreat with attacking and harassment.

Under such a defense, Ajax's defense played with fire, Wobel made a pass error and was cut off by Muller.

Bayern immediately launched a frontcourt counterattack.

Muller made a pass to the center, Lewandowski turned his back to meet the ball, and used his arch to the left without stopping the ball.

Rossi also kept the ball, and used the arch of his foot to pad the ball to Koeman on the right.

With continuous pass and cooperation, Ajax's defense was played around.

Koeman on the weak side was unguarded, made a fake shot and passed the ball straight forward.

Lewandowski then stepped in to outflank and poke the ball into the net.

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 】

[Bayern can lock the victory in advance! 】

[Ajax did a perfect job in the previous 80 minutes! 】

[But in just a few minutes, an instant defeat! 】

[Bayern leads 3:1! 】

[In retrospect, there are not a few teams that dare to play against Bayern! 】

[But there are not many who can win! 】

[Ajax's courage, willpower and hard work are all worthy of respect! 】

[But today's winner is Bayern Munich! 】
