Chapter 531: Mutual Attack
March 12, Allianz Arena, the second leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Today, Bayern Munich will accept the challenge of Arsenal at home, Bayern visited the Emirates Stadium in the last round, and still won 2:o against Arsenal after losing Zhang Shujie. In particular, Zhang Shujie also appeared in the lineup in the best condition.
Less than two years after coming to the team, Zhang Shujie was already the team's number one superstar and won the Ballon d'Or, Bayern fans can finally shout: "We not only compete with Real Madrid Barcelona in terms of strength, but also are not familiar with them in terms of star quality." ”
Indeed, with Zhang Shujie's Golden Ball Award, fans are indeed more confident, and "Huang Saren" is more worthy of the name.
Arsene Wenger changed his tone from the previous round, saying: "Bayern are really many, especially after Zhang Shujie, I know that it will not be easy for us to win, but we will definitely go all out and try to create miracles." ”
In order to win and qualify, Wenger even used the "miracle" twice, and it is conceivable that he understands very well that it is a very luxurious thing to win Bayern away from home.
Pep Guardiola is different, he is much more relaxed than Arsene Wenger, but he still made a polite remark in front of the media: "Arsenal are not an easy team to play against, although we won in the round, but it doesn't mean that we can be careless today, after all, we haven't decided who will show up yet, we have to take the game seriously." ”
The process of the game is actually as the two managers said, Bayern's players do have a good attitude, and Arsenal's players are indeed doing their best, although on the field, Arsenal still lost slightly, but Arsenal also organized several attacks, and it was also quite threatening. Among them, the attack in the ninth minute was the most important, Ozil went straight through the middle, Boateng stretched out his foot and failed to stop the ball, and Yan Tao squeezed Giroud away with his body, but Giroud still gave the ball to Caraso before he fell to the ground, Caraso shot the ball in front of the penalty area, and the ball passed through Neuer's hands and hit the crossbar.
The ball did not have this year, but it scared the Bayern fans a lot, Guardiola quietly exhaled on the sidelines, and the moment Caraso shot just now, he was very nervous.
Bayern, as a Bundesliga powerhouse and the new Ballon d'Or winner, was so shot by Arsenal at home, so it was natural to return the color. And the person who "avenges" Bayern is their top scorer.
Robben cut inside on the right and didn't get space to shoot, and he crossed to Zhang Shujie, who was picking up in the middle. Koscielny stuck behind him, and at this moment Zhang Shujie rubbed the ball with his left foot, the ball flew vertically, and then half-turned and picked the ball with his right foot, and picked it over Koscielny's head, and he himself bypassed Koscielny and strode into the penalty area.
It was also a powerful shot, Zhang Shujie's shot was more powerful than Carasso's previous goal, and goalkeeper Fabianski struggled to lift the ball off the crossbar with one palm.
After that, both sides went on the offensive but did not get another shot on goal for 15 minutes, and aside from this flaw, the game was actually very exciting. It was even full of a lot of gunpowder, Zhang Shujie was tripped by the opposing defender three times, two of which allowed the opponent to get a yellow card, Vermaelen and Arteta have been yellowed, only Mertesacker escaped the referee's punishment because of the foul on Zhang Shujie, but also received a verbal warning.
Wenger is a little apprehensive every time he sees Zhang Shujie win the ball, he knows how powerful this striker is, and he has learned it last season. He had observed Zhang Shujie countless times from the video, hoping to find some weaknesses, but in the end he was disappointed and could only reluctantly conclude that as a striker, Zhang Shujie did not have any weaknesses.
This is also why Zhang Shujie defeated Messi Ronaldo to win the Golden Ball, because he is too perfect, so perfect that it is difficult to come out of such a person for decades. In Wenger's impression, there is no striker who can be as flawless as him, whether it is technique, degree, explosive starting ability, or the shooting skills that a striker should have, he has it all, not only the balance of the left and right feet, but also the header is also excellent.
Ronaldo, who was only about twenty-four or five years old, was close to this level, but it is a pity that Ronaldo has begun to transform, abandoning breakthroughs and explosions, and turning to physical training.
On the field, Bayern Munich was attacking, Ribery handed the ball to Zhang Shujie's feet, Cazorla couldn't even pull him to prevent him, but had to give up chasing Zhang Shujie for fear of winning the card, and watched him go away.
Mertesacker and Chamberlain decided to trap him, Zhang Shujie glanced to the right, and Yan Tao had already caught up. So he rubbed the ball high and passed it to Yan Tao's feet.
This is also another scary point for Zhang Shujie, whenever he attracts the attention of the opponent's defense, and at the same time he has no better shooting opportunities, and his teammates are in a better position, then he will definitely hand over the ball.
Yan Tao passed to the penalty area, Muller jumped up to head the goal, failed to top the power, the ball had a rebound in the penalty area, and the ball was confiscated by Fabianski.
Arsenal counter-attacked, and after a four-legged pass, the ball hit the Bayern backfield and now it was Mesut Ozil in possession. As one of the few purely technical midfielders in the English League, Mesut Ozil is a perfect fit for Arsenal's tactics, and Arsenal's attack is basically his playmaker. Seeing that Giroud was being defended to death, he dismissed the idea of passing the ball to him and tucked the ball into the right.
Sagna had already come up, tangling with Alabaa near the touchline, and after an unsuccessful forced breakthrough, Sagna did not concede the ball either, passing the ball to the middle, Cazorla transitioned to Podolski, who took the ball forward and took a long shot directly from outside the box.
The ball eventually went over the crossbar and Neuer didn't make a save, and he knew it was a little too far off the net when he saw the ball's trajectory.
Thirty-eight minutes into the first half, neither side has scored, but the attack is back and forth. In contrast, Bayern still has some advantages, and Chen Hui believes that the side that scores first should be Bayern.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Giroud received a cross from Ozil and hit the goal, but Neuer saved the ball, Yan Tao kicked the ball outside the penalty area, Arteta followed up and shot again, and was defused by Neuer in front of the goal.
The ball was not out of bounds, Arsenal had to hurry to find a follow-up shot, Bayern had to find a way to clear the ball, Podolski smashed out of the crowd and stabbed in the six-yard box, Neuer was still at the other end of the goal, it was too late to make a second save.
The ball flew into the Bayern goal and Arsenal led 1-O away. After three shots in quick succession, Arsenal scored a surprise goal at the Allianz Arena towards the end of the first half.
