Chapter 667: Bayern's Way Forward

Zhang Shujie's injury made Guardiola have to redeploy and change tactics. The formation is good, Bayern has a lot of players in the midfield, and they are all very capable, the key is in the tactics, Zhang Shujie is not there, there will be a big change in the choice of tactics.

Pep Guardiola has two plans, the first is to let Muller play the shadow striker and partner Lewandowski, and the second is to make Lewandowski the team's single arrow. Theoretically, both solutions can work, but the actual effect needs to be proved by the competition.

On September 27, Bayern played Cologne at home, and Guardiola sent Lewandowski and Muller with Gotze behind him, Bernat and Robben on the left and right, Lahm and Alonso playing double midfield, three defenders are Alaba, Boateng and Yan Tao, and the goalkeeper is still the German international Neuer.

On the surface, it is just that Zhang Shujie on the forward line is replaced by Muller, but the fact is that no one can replace Zhang Shujie's role, Muller is not good, and Lewandowski is not good. Now Lewandowski is the main point of attack, but it is not Lewandowski who scores this goal, but Gotze, and the person who assists is Muller. In addition, Cologne defender Halfa accidentally set himself up for an own goal, and Bayern won 2-0.

Pep Guardiola was still very satisfied with the performance of his disciples, although Lewandowski did not score, but he managed to attract the center of gravity of the opponent's defense and create a scoring opportunity for Gotze. Bayern are in control of the normal game, and Pep Guardiola will continue to play like this.

In the second round of the Champions League on October 1, Bayern went to Moscow to challenge CSKA away, Moscow in early October was already a little cold, Bayern players seemed a little uncomfortable, but in terms of hard power, Bayern still had a very good advantage and was able to control the situation, in the twenty-two minutes of the game, Lewandowski was tripped by CSKA defender Mario in the penalty area, Bayern got a penalty, Muller personally took the penalty shot, Bayern led 1:0.

Then CSKA held on to the score, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, Bayern pressed all of them and besieged CSKA's goal, but at the end of the game, they could not expand the score, and 1:0 was also the final result. Bayern weren't particularly happy with the result, having failed to win at home to Manchester City in the first round, and now it's time to grab points, with as much goal difference as possible, but in Moscow they managed to pick up just one.

It was also on this day, in the match between Manchester City and Roma held later, the blue moon at home was forced to draw 1:1 by Roma, lost the opportunity to pursue Bayern, and could only continue to rank behind the "Southern King".

Meanwhile, another Premier League giant, Chelsea, beat Sporting Lisbon 1-0 away, with Chinese midfielder Xu Ziyi scoring the only goal of the game in the 68th minute of the second half. After scoring twice against Aston Villa in the last round of the Premier League, Xu Ziyi won another Champions League game. It was his third goal of the season and he has four assists in five Premier League appearances and two Champions League games, and with his three goals averaging, he averages one goal per game.

Li Mu's performance in this game was average, and the best team of the match was awarded to Xu Ziyi and teammate Courtois, with a post-match rating of 8.5 points, but Li Mu's overall performance was also qualified, giving him 6.5 points.

Back in the league, Bayern hosted Hannover 96, Lewandowski scored twice in the sixth and thirty-eighth minutes of the first half, and Robben scored two more in the second half, and Bayern beat Hannover 4-0.

On October 18, Bayern played at home against Werder Bremen, for the next round of the Champions League, Guardiola let a number of main players rest, including Lewandowski, but the powerful Bayern will not be afraid of Bremen's challenge by virtue of the home advantage. In the 20th minute of the game, Muller assisted Lahm to open the scoring, in the seventh minute, Alonso changed the score to 2:0, and in the 43rd minute, Muller scored a penalty kick, and Bayern had already led 3-0 in the first half. In the second half, Gotze scored two goals, and Lahm scored another goal to lock the score at 6:0!

Bayern used such a wild victory to go to the Stadio Olimpico in Italy to challenge the Roma team. Before the game, the Roman prince Totti said that he would definitely cause trouble for Bayern in the game. However, the course of the game was completely different from Totti's.

Roma worked very hard in the game, but there was a huge difference in quality, Robben scored a goal in the opening ten minutes, Bayern led 1-0 away, Gotze extended the score in the 23rd minute, and two minutes later, Lewandowski's goal gave them a three-goal lead.

The game played less than half an hour, and Roma, who was playing at home, was already 0:3 behind. Although it was speculated that Roma would be difficult to play in this game, they did not expect Bayern to score three goals in just 25 minutes. Totti said that he was going to cause trouble for Bayern, but now it seems that this sentence has become a joke, and the trouble has not been created, and his team is still in trouble.

In the 30th minute, there was a serious mistake in the Roma backline, Robben seized the opportunity to make the score 4:0, and in the 36th minute, Roma winger Iturway fouled Lewandowski in the penalty area when he returned to the defense, so that Roma was awarded a penalty, and Muller made it 5:0 in one fell swoop!

The first half ended with Roma trailing by five goals, and in the second half, Bayern began to make frequent substitutions, with Muller, Lewandowski and Goetze being substituted in succession, but Bayern still scored a goal each in the 78th and 80th minutes through substitutes Franck Ribery and Shakiri in the 80th minute, while Roma scored a face-saving goal in the 66th minute by Gervinho.

Bayern defeated the city of Rome with a score of 7:1. Claim: "It's a shame, it's not that Roma have lost the Champions League by such a big margin, in 2007, Roma lost 7-1 to Manchester United. The difference is that it was away and today it was home. ”

said: "Compared with Bayern, Roma's strength is indeed much worse, and the score of 7:1 is a proof of this." Roma suffered the same defeat as Brazil at the World Cup, not only with the same score, but also with almost the same scoreline. ”

Bayern have scored seventeen goals and conceded only one goal in the last three games, and this is still without Zhang Shujie. It must be admitted that Bayern as a whole is indeed too strong, which should be a cause for joy, because if any team relies too much on one player, it may be difficult for the team to reach the end, such as last year's Champions League semi-finals.

Just when Bayern was winning continuously and the whole team was happy, there was a discordant voice in the team!
