Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 395 Desperate Bayern

The game at Stamford Bridge was very unusual, and it has even turned into a farce. The main reason is that everyone's attention is not focused on Bayern's attack in Chelsea's frontcourt, but on Bayern's backcourt. 'Athletics Competition'.

At this moment, because various TV stations are also very 'adapting to the people's will' to point their cameras at Bayern's backcourt from time to time, many, many people all over the world are watching this farce, and their minds have also shifted from the game to Bayern's backcourt. Interesting.Human beings have a great potential for gossip, especially in today's busy world. In a life full of rules and regulations, people always like to pay attention to things outside the rules. This is gossip, which is very formal. 'Athletics' in the second leg of the semi-finals is something out of the rules.

This really deserves a lot of attention.

Among these spectators, there are also some people who really pay attention to the game. They are the coaches and players of the Liverpool team.

In a small meeting room at Liverpool FC, the 19 uninjured players of the entire team are gathered together, watching the live TV broadcast on the big screen. This is the live broadcast of Sky Sports TV. Occupying 60% of the market share, due to its professionalism and entertainment, these football clubs also like to watch this TV station when watching live broadcasts.

At this time, the current anchor Graham is explaining the current situation of the game——
"... fans, right now Bayern are bombarding Chelsea. Hargreaves has the ball, he's dribbling forward, Gallas comes up and they're fighting for it , Beautiful! He made a straight pass to Ge... Guerrero turned around and volleyed! Oh~~~~~~, the ball hit Scott Parker's thigh and bounced out of bounds, Saliha Midzic runs to the sideline to serve, Frings scrambles..."

"...The two teams are anxious, so let's take a look at the situation in the backcourt. Allen is still running, and he seems to have been wandering around the middle circle, followed by Lucio and Liza Lazu, let's take a look. R. Kovacs seems to be exhausted. He squatted on the ground with helplessness on his face. Obviously, he is really tired. I really don't know what these Germans are thinking. Trying to compete with Allen with two guards is really overkill."

"Speaking of this, it suddenly occurred to me that in this season, every time Allen starts, even if he plays the whole game, he doesn't look tired after the game, and he can even celebrate the victory wildly with his teammates and fans. From this point of view , His physical fitness must be very good. These Germans actually want to compete with him in physical fitness. Could it be that their brains have become a paste?..."

……

While Graham was nagging, in the small conference room, the faces of the Liverpool players were expressionless. Their eyes were fixed on the black-haired boy who played freely on the TV screen, but there was envy and jealousy in their hearts. , resentment and helplessness, almost everyone here has played against Wang Li head-on on the court, but no one has the confidence to defend him.

At this time, the head coach Benitez was standing next to the TV screen. He listened to the anchor on the TV chattering and praising Chelsea and Wang Li, but he also drooped his forehead helplessly.

Since yesterday's victory over Eindhoven in the Netherlands, the Spaniard has been thinking about how to face Chelsea, which is like a tiger and a wolf.

In this season, Liverpool and Chelsea played against each other three times, two home and away games in the league, and one bloody battle in the League Cup final, but they lost all three times, and only one game was decent, and the other two games were big. Defeated, for this reason, they also lost a League Cup.

In the Chelsea team, the one who impressed them the most is of course Wang Li. Now, in the match between Bayern and Chelsea, Wang Li can stir up the Bayern backcourt even if he doesn't get the ball. The players can't think about it. In fact, everyone in the conference room is not sure about the next final.

The head coach's thinking is different from these players. Benitez will not consider the previous failure record, just watching the game on the screen, studying Chelsea's tactical strategy, and the role of each of their players in the tactics. role.

Although from the point of view of the situation, Chelsea seems to have no power to fight back against Bayern Munich, but as a professional football player, it is obvious that Bayern's goal just now is just a little bit of luck. Chelsea's defense is very good. Strictly speaking, on the court, you may be able to score one goal with luck, but if you want to score the second or third, how easy is it?

The main reason for Chelsea's weakness now is that they have the advantage of scoring goals, and they don't want to fight Bayern.

If the game progresses to the second half, the Bayern players will be weak in terms of physical strength and spirit. Chelsea only needs to fight back at will to pose a great threat to Bayern. If they can't keep up, how well their defense can do remains to be tested.

"It's not luck that the Portuguese won the championship!!"

At this time, watching the game on the TV screen, Benitez also felt a little emotional.

The outside world said that Chelsea's success was inseparable from Wang Li's goal, but Benitez, as a top coach, knew that with Mourinho's ability, coupled with Chelsea's foundation and new aid, Even if Chelsea didn't have that black-haired boy, they could still get good results. Even if they weren't as brilliant as they are now, it would not be a problem to win 1,2 or [-] championships.

Although the game is not over, Benitez and the Liverpool players already know that their opponent in the final will definitely be Chelsea.

If it is facing Bayern Munich, then Liverpool still has some chances of winning, but even Benitez has no idea how to play against Chelsea.

However, in the room, the Spaniard did not express his feelings on his face, he just looked confident, and only in this way can the players increase their confidence.

If you don't even have confidence in the game, and your strength is even worse, it will be impossible to win.

…………

Back at the Stamford Bridge Stadium, the game has now reached the 42nd minute of the first half, and the scoreboard hanging in the center of the stadium still shows "0:1" in red. The home team is behind the former visiting team, and Bayern is leading by one goal.

But if you count the score of the last round, the total score is 5:3, Chelsea still has an absolute advantage, and now the first half of the game is coming to an end, but the situation on the field has changed a bit, Chelsea is closely In the defense, they began to counterattack continuously, and Bayern's backcourt was messed up by Wang Li, and their defense was very loose.

However, the ball was still in the hands of Bayern at this time. Frings got the ball in the middle, and he kicked it to Ze Robert on the side.

Before this game, according to the German media, Ze Robert had already had private contact with Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue [-]. This midfielder is likely to transfer to the beautiful Paris in the summer. Therefore, Now Ze Robert's heart may have already left Bayern, and in the remaining games of the team, it will become a bargaining chip for him to fight for better treatment for himself.

Therefore, he performed very well in this game. In the past halftime, he passed the ball from the wing and dribbled the ball well, and the most important thing is that he dared to fight. The style is eye-catching, but this time, after receiving a pass from Frings, he chose to break through with the ball.

As a midfielder, Ze Robert is better at defending than attacking. Just like what Chelsea coach Mourinho said, Robert's dribbling ability is not strong, but this time facing Frank Lampard Defensively, Ze Robert made a fierce effort and directly broke through!
"Beautiful, Ze Robert!!" Seeing this neat breakthrough, the German commentator immediately shouted.

However, after breaking through Lampard, Ze Robert ran into trouble, because Scott Parker was right behind Lampard, and Robert hadn't taken two steps with the ball before he was tackled by the experienced Parker .

However, Ze Robert also stepped forward fiercely to grab the ball again. Parker didn't pay attention and almost let him grab it back. However, after reacting, Parker stabbed the ball to Makelele in front of him. This allowed the ball to be firmly in Chelsea's hands.

After the French man received the ball, he swung his kick and kicked the ball to Alkin Robben on the side.

Before the game, Mourinho specifically told him to strengthen the breakthrough from the side. Since Chelsea can't make a big push when counterattacking, the number of offensive players is not too many, and Robben's breakthrough has become a very important one. means of attack.

In the first half, because the ball was in Bayern's hands most of the time, Robben only had 2 breakthrough records, and the ball was directly intercepted once, which made him have no sense of breakthrough. With so much confidence, Robben felt that as long as he found an opportunity, he would pass the ball to Wang Li. This was the only way to be safe. If he lost the ball again, it would be bad if Bayern counterattacked.

At this time, R Kovac who happened to be on the sidewalk came to meet him. Robben concentrated a lot. He didn't look at Kovac at all, but just stared at the opponent's legs. Many defenders use this method to Defense, so as not to be deceived by the fake moves of offensive players, but the purpose of Robben's doing this is to find opportunities to speed up the dribbling past. He doesn't do too many fancy dribbles, and clean breakthroughs are what he is best at of.

At the moment when R. Kovac and Robben crossed each other, Robben hurriedly wiped the side of the ball with his right foot. Vache brushes past.

"Roben!! He broke through!!" Sky Sports TV anchor Graham shouted.

However, Robben, who was dribbling the ball on the court, felt that this time seemed too easy. This kind of doubt made him turn his head slightly and glance at Kovac who was following him out of the corner of his eye, feeling amused in his heart.

It turned out that Kovac didn't have much energy. In the first half, he ran with Wang Li for almost 10 minutes. This kind of irregular running exhausted his physical energy, and Kovac couldn't defend at this time. It's just for show, what he hopes most is to enter the intermission immediately so that he can go to the locker room to recover his energy.

At this time, he jogged and followed Robben, but the distance between the two was getting wider and wider.

Bayern attacked too hard just now, which left Robben with nothing in front of him after a simple change of direction to pass Kovacs. He glanced at Wang Li in the middle, hesitating in his heart whether to pass the ball.

Wang Li is following two defenders, Lucio and Lizarazu, and besides R. Kovac, there is only one Sagnol in the backcourt. If Robben passes the ball at this time, then All the offense was on Wang Li. If he wanted to score a goal, he had to face the steals of two defenders and pass a goalkeeper Kahn.If he does not pass the ball, Robben needs to pass Sagnol, and it is possible to face Kahn alone, but this situation is not practical, as long as he breaks through Sagnol, who is slightly ahead, then The two guards defending Wang Li will definitely send out one to block——
This is the best chance to pass the ball.

These thoughts only stopped in Robben's mind for a moment. After thinking about it, he had already dribbled the ball to Sagnol's side.

In fact, Sagnol is also similar to R. Kovac, his physical fitness is not much, in the first half, he has been defending Wang Li with Lucio, but his physical fitness is average, not as good as He was a year younger than Lucio.

In normal times, these physical fitness is enough, even if the game lasts 120 minutes, he can barely support it, but the more than 20 minutes of running close to the body just now made him feel tired.This is not really excessive exercise, but the reason why the amount of exercise is too high in a short period of time.

This feeling made him feel dazed when he was defending, but his body couldn't keep up with his brain's reaction in some movements.

So, this time Robben's breakthrough was very easy. Sagnol wanted to stretch his legs to intercept, but he failed. Robben's speed was too fast! !

After passing Sagnol, Robben dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area. Normally, he could shoot from this position, but now the situation is very favorable. He doesn't need to make such a lucky long-range shot.Sure enough, Lizarazu, who was defending Wang Li, came over and ran to intercept Robben, but at this time, Robben passed the ball.

Lucio, who was standing next to Wang Li, kept staring at Robben. When he saw him pass the ball, Lucio speeded up and ran towards Robben. He wanted to catch the ball before the black-haired kid next to him. , Drive the ball directly out of the danger zone.

However, no matter how fast his activation speed was, it couldn't be faster than Wang Li.

Wang Li knew that Robben was going to pass the ball, and when Lizarazu just ran to intercept it, he had already started it.

The speed at which Lingbo microsteps are taken is by no means comparable to that of Lucio, at least in terms of starting speed, there is a huge difference between the two, not to mention that Lucio is also feeling physically exhausted at this time, and his physical strength is also a bit weak. lacked.

On the court, Wang Li stopped on the spot almost like a screeching brake. Under the eyes of the fans and hundreds of millions of spectators around the world, he calmly made a complete 180-degree turn in the direction of the ball, and then immediately used his right As soon as his foot rubbed against the side of the ball, the ball rolled over from the left side of Lucio behind him, while Wang Li stepped over from Lucio's right side.

Turn around and score the ball!
This movement was so gorgeous and so smooth that a few Bayern fans in the audience couldn't help applauding, but after reacting, they immediately stopped gesturing and looked nervously in the direction of Bayern's goal.

There, there is only the last Kahn!
Kahn has always been the pride of German football and the pride of Bayern! !

When the team encountered a crisis, Kahn stood up every time and defended the last barrier for the team. This time, Bayern fans hope that the veteran can stand up again and contribute to Bayern! !
Kahn did exactly the same thing. Seeing Lucio being easily swayed, he immediately rushed out of the goal with a roar, and the breeze blew his blond hair, making him look more like a lion. That ferocious face will definitely shock most players.Kahn's staring eyes were fixed on the football under Wang Li's feet. He didn't look at Wang Li's movements at all, but rushed towards the football suddenly.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the ball, Kahn's confidence was getting stronger and stronger. Years of goalkeeping experience told him that he had blocked all shooting angles with his body, and it was impossible for the kid in front of him to score a goal if he wanted to shoot directly.

That's right, Wang Li also knew this, but he was still not in a hurry to shoot.When Kahn was about to slam the ball, he just tapped the ball slightly to the left.

"Lizarazu? Allen made a mistake?"

At this time, Lizarazu was following to Wang Li's left, but just as the ball was about to roll to Lizarazu's side, a blue figure suddenly appeared in the middle - Alkin Robben! !
Robben calmly and hard kicked the bottom edge of the football, and the football flew into the goal without any suspense.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooy !!!!!!!!"

"Roben, Robben, Alkin Robben!!"

"The goal was scored, beautiful cooperation!! Allen gave the ball to Robben at the last moment, and Robben pushed the empty goal and rewritten the score to 6:3. Bayern wants to advance to the final, they have to play again in the second half To score 4 goals, we believe it is absolutely impossible!! There is no doubt that Chelsea has advanced."

Seeing Robben's goal, Bayern was in despair. Even Ballack and Kahn, who had always been upbeat, felt that the team had no hope.

Yes, they want to give up.

Originally, before the game, Bayern still had some hopes of completing the reversal, but now after 45 minutes of the game, the team still has a difference of 4 goals. How easy is it to score 45 goals in 4 minutes?What's more, the opponent has a black-haired boy with a sharp attack. It is already good not to let Chelsea score in the second half.

The situation is truly hopeless.

On the sidelines, head coach Felix Magath was stunned. Even though there were still 45 minutes left in the game, what was the point of the second half?
He doesn't know either.
