Chapter 661: The Second Duel
The second half of the game was kicked off by Bayern, and I don't know what Guardiola said to the players in the dressing room, but after the start of the game, Bayern's offensive was much more fierce than in the first half, although Bayern also had a few good attacks in the first half, but the overall was a little dull, and now it is different, and it hit the backfield of Manchester City at the beginning.
In the first five minutes, Bayern had four attacks, but none of them came from Zhang Shujie, including Lewandowski twice, Gotze once and Yan Tao each once, although Zhang Shujie has not yet shot, but Lewandowski and Gotze's shots are all obtained by his goal in the middle.
Three of those four shots were wide of goal, and only one hit the woodwork, which was successfully defused by Ma Junqiang.
City were not without chances to counter-attack, as they cut off Bayern twice at the back and formed two counter-attacks, both of which resulted in shots from Dzeko and Silva.
Manchester City is now mainly on defense, Bayern also took advantage of the situation to increase the momentum of the attack to the maximum, almost suppressed Manchester City in the second half, in the next seven minutes or so, Manchester City did not even have a half, but because the "blue moon" defense is well arranged, Bayern did not have a good chance for a while, only Lahm tried a long shot in the penalty area in the seven minutes, hit Liang Xiran and bounced out.
"Look at Bayern's momentum, they are determined to win the opponent, much stronger than the offensive in the first half. However, Manchester City's defense is indeed stable enough, and Bayern has few opportunities to put the ball in the penalty area, so they can only pour their feet outside the box. ”
Yan Tao's pass to Zhang Shujie was pushed out by Yaya Toure, and after Lahm received the ball, he made a mistake in protecting the ball, which was snatched away by Fernandio and then passed to Sagna on the left. Sagna gave Silva again, Silva used his excellent ball control skills, surrounded by Gotze and Alaba and did not concede the ball, because Bayern was eager to attack before, the backfield was not manpowered, Silva pulled two more people, so that Sagna who was inserted behind was undefended.
Silva distributed the ball, Sania caught it on the run, Alaba hurried back to catch it, Sania saw that there was a lot of space ahead, slammed the ball hard, and then ran forward at full speed, leaving Alaba behind.
"Manchester City had a very good counter-attack, Bayern's backfield can be open, not long ago the continuous wave of attack has made them ignore the backfield defense, can Manchester City take advantage of this opportunity?"
Sagna came to the right side of the penalty area, Dzeko and Yaya Toure in the middle were outflanked in place, and Bayern Munich only had Yan Tao as a defender, and it was impossible to prevent two people, Boateng, Lahm and other players were still on the way back to defense, not in place, if Sagna passed the ball, Bayern would be very dangerous.
In order to control the ball, Saña slowed down a little, and Alaba was about to catch up, when Sagna suddenly rushed diagonally into the penalty area, Alaba was cut by him in a position, and he couldn't stop it, so he had to reach out to pull him, but Saña accelerated and shook his hand, Alaba not only did not pull it, but he fell to the ground.
Yan Tao wasn't sure who he would pass the ball to, so he could only stand between Dzeko and Yaya Toure, and see who he passed to stop whom, and Sagna picked the ball and passed it behind Yan Tao, where Dzeko was.
Yan Tao turned around and ran towards Dzeko, but he was a step too late, Dzeko hit the goal with a header, and pushed it in the opposite direction of Neuer's movement, this kind of goalkeeper is generally helpless, and there is only a theoretical possibility left to save, Dzeko even began to celebrate the goal in advance.
But at this moment, Neuer showed his characteristics as a world-class goalkeeper, in the case of a completely cheap center of gravity, he twisted, stretched out his left hand, and held the ball with one palm, blocking Dzeko's attack, Dzeko seemed to be stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect Neuer to save this kind of ball.
Not only him, but all the Manchester City players, including the fans and manager Manuel Pellegrini, were surprised, it was this brief stunned moment that allowed Manchester City to fail to grab the second landing point, and Lahm, who was in place, kicked the ball to the front.
"Neuer's god-level performance! If nothing else, this will be the best save of the game, and even the best save of the year! It's incredible, this is the goalkeeper of the world champion team, and Dzeko's goal is almost in vain. ”
Ma Junqiang on the other side could see it clearly, and he himself was shocked, and said to himself: "It's too mysterious, isn't it? ”
The fans at the scene gave Neuer a round of applause, and indeed, Neuer deserved it.
I don't know if Manchester City was saved by Neuer, which made the team a little distracted, Ram's big foot cleared and kicked straight to the feet of Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie leaned back to Kompany, stepped on the ball and turned around and pulled, and then knocked, the ball leaked between Kompany's legs, and then Zhang Shujie bypassed him again, controlled the ball and accelerated forward, he looked up and saw that there were only two Manchester City players in front of him, and these two people were none other than his teammates in the national team: Liang Xiran and Ma Junqiang.
The first thing to face is Liang Xiran, Zhang Shujie slowed down, knocked the ball back and forth with his legs, and the movements made by the swinging legs were half-truths and half-truths, and Liang Xiran couldn't figure out what his next move would be, let alone when he would dial the ball over.
Zhang Shujie hooked the ball with the instep of his left foot, and was already making a gesture to dribble to the left front, Liang Xiran moved, but Zhang Shujie suddenly paused, and after quickly changing his feet, he attacked from the right, Liang Xiran thought that he might shake a shot, but he couldn't guess what he would do, and now that the action is out, Liang Xiran wants to try to intercept.
Zhang Shujie has been more than half a position smaller than himself, Liang Xiran bullied and pressed up, poked the ball on the tip of his right foot, not far away, and it was still within Zhang Shujie's control, but it also forced Zhang Shujie to make another adjustment in order to re-carry the ball and continue to move forward, at this time, Liang Xiran got closer, got closer to Zhang Shujie, and fell to the ground with a sliding tackle, shoveling the ball out of the bottom line.
Zhang Shujie hooked his calf when he broke through and fell to the ground, but Liang Xiran did not foul this time because he tackled the ball first, and Zhang Shujie hooked his leg and fell, which is a very beautiful defense.
"This defense is very beautiful, Liang Xiran didn't let Zhang Shujie rush over this time, if he really let it go, it would be a problem for Ma Junqiang. ”
Zhang Shujie stood up from the ground with a smile, but Liang Xiran was still on the ground, he gasped for breath, a hand appeared in front of him, he turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Shujie.
Liang Xiran smiled, and also stretched out his hand, let Zhang Shujie pull himself up, and said: "We have two one-on-one, one win and one loss, which can be regarded as a draw." ”
Zhang Shujie smiled: "There is still a lot of time, you still have to think about how to stop me from the next game." After saying that, he walked to the penalty area and prepared to fight for the top corner.
