Chapter 687: The Situation Is Not Good
Zhang Shujie is on the training ground.
This is Bayern's last training game before the match against Chelsea, although Zhang Shujie cannot play, it does not mean that he has the right not to train.
The intensity of the training is not too high, and it is relatively free. Robben walked up to Zhang Shujie and asked in a low voice, "Zhang, what you said in front of the media that day wouldn't be true, right?"
Zhang Shujie asked rhetorically: "You mean leaving Bayern?"
"Otherwise, what else?"
Zhang Shujie smiled and said, "There is no lie. ”
Martinez also walked up: "Zhang, do you really want to go?"
Zhang Shujie looked at him and said: "Me and Guardiola are like that, why are you still staying? Europe is so big, there are so many teams, doesn't anyone want me yet? Isn't Real Madrid all offering?"
Martinez said: "I know, 120 million, it's really expensive! But Zhang, I really don't want you to go." ”
Zhang Shujie patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "It's okay, there will always be a day to leave." Let's train, at least until the end of the season, we're teammates. ”
After speaking, Zhang Shujie walked away with the ball.
Martinez looked at his back and suddenly felt pity. In European football, "Huang Saren" is the collective name of the three strongest teams, Real Madrid Barcelona has Ronaldo and Messi, two Golden Ball winners, and Bayern also has Zhang Shujie, but Zhang Shujie wants to leave, in that case, Bayern's commercial value and attention in China will be inferior to those two teams.
The soldiers of the iron-clad camp and flowing water, maybe Zhang Shujie is right, sooner or later they will leave.
**********************
Zhang Shujie returned home, there was no training in the afternoon, and the Champions League match between Bayern and Chelsea was about to start later, and Zhang Shujie, who was suspended, did not want to go to the scene, so he simply watched the game at home.
He took a shower first, and then talked to Li Mu on the phone. Li Mu is now staying in the hotel where Chelsea is staying, Xu Ziyi is in a room with him, and the three of them have a few small talks on the phone. During this period, Li Mu and Xu Ziyi both asked him about the transfer, but Zhang Shujie didn't say much, and he didn't mention AC Milan for the time being, mainly because he was too lazy to explain.
At 9 p.m. (Beijing time) on May 23, the second leg of the Champions League semifinals between Bayern Munich and Chelsea began, Bayern's lineup changed, Gotze replaced Zhang Shujie, who could not play, and Chelsea was the same as the starting lineup in the previous round, with no changes.
Bayern at home is naturally attacking with all its might, but Chelsea is defending with all its might, and giving up possession of the ball, Mourinho is to play a counterattack in defense, if you can steal a goal, then Chelsea's promotion will be stable, even if you can't score, it doesn't matter, as long as Chelsea does not concede more than two goals, it is the Premier League giants who finally advance to the final.
After half an hour of play, Bayern had nine shots on goal, but none of them could break Courtois's ten fingers, while Chelsea, only two shots were completed by Li Mu.
Zhang Shujie was a little anxious looking at Bayern's offensive, even if he decided to leave Bayern this summer, but anyway, he is still a Bayern player, and he definitely hopes that Bayern can go to the final final. Even with two national team mates and friends at Chelsea, he doesn't want Bayern to lose, the stadium is a battlefield and there is no humanity to talk about.
Lewandowski's header was pushed out of the bottom line by Courtois, who was tall and armed, Bayern took a corner, Lahm drove to the penalty area, and Lewandowski grabbed the header again, this time without Courtois to save, Terry blocked the ball with his body, Fabregas passed to Hazard, Hazard ran more than ten meters along the left side and knocked it to Xu Ziyi, who came to answer.
This is a counterattack from Chelsea, played very fast, Xu Ziyi got the ball after a diagonal stopper, found Li Mu in front, at this time Li Mu moved from the left to the right, Costa in the middle was outflanked in place, Li Mu shook off Alaba and passed the ball to the middle.
Costa grabbed the point, and Boateng pasted it, but at the moment when he was about to touch the ball, Costa suddenly leaked and leaked the ball to Xu Ziyi in the back, and at this time, Xu Ziyi was already undefended.
Facing Neuer, Xu Ziyi very calmly pushed a near corner. Even if Neuer is the best goalkeeper in the game, there is nothing he can do at such a close position, and he can only watch the ball go into the net.
0:1! Bayern are down by one goal at home. This is Xu Ziyi's fifth goal in 12 Champions League games this season, although this number of goals is not as good as Li Mu, but as a midfielder, it is not easy for him to have such a number of goals, don't forget that he also has five assists!
Zhang Shujie looked at Xu Ziyi, who was celebrating the goal, and shook his head helplessly. I don't know why, Bayern's backline has always been marked with a lack of attention when dealing with rapid counterattacks in the past two seasons, and the goal scored by Ronaldo in last year's semi-finals was also like this, which was a more serious defensive mistake.
Chelsea are 3-0 up on aggregate and they have an away goal on their to, and the end of the first half means Bayern will need to score at least four goals in the second half to come back and make sure they don't concede again.
Zhang Shujie saw Guardiola's helpless eyes through the TV screen. If it hadn't conceded this goal, Bayern would have scored two more goals to send the score into extra time, but now, everything is very difficult and the situation is very bad for Bayern. Perhaps Pep Guardiola also understands that it was almost impossible to get four goals forward in the second half against the bus-swaying Chelsea defence.
Zhang Shujie got up to make a cup of coffee, and when he came back, he saw that Chelsea were taking a free-kick, a free kick directly in front of the goal. Zhang Shujie was a little puzzled, the free kick that Chelsea got was less than two minutes after Bayern conceded the goal, you must know that Bayern just had control of the ball after restarting the ball in the center circle, could it be that they were snatched back by Chelsea so quickly?
If you think about it, that's all it can be. Zhang Shujie didn't see the picture just now, he guessed that it should be Chelsea who snatched the ball from the feet of the Bayern players when they were pressing in front, forcing Bayern to foul in their own backfield, which gave Chelsea such a direct free kick facing the goal and only 27 meters from the goal.
The time for the first half had come and there was no stoppage time. But for football to favour the attacking side, the referee will now have to wait until Chelsea have taken the free-kick before blowing the final whistle. Pep Guardiola knows what Li Mu is capable of, and the Chelsea no.10 has scored five free-kicks in all competitions this season, two of which have come in the Champions League.
Li Mu took a deep breath, ran up, and hit the middle of the ball with his right foot, the ball went around the human wall and fell towards Bayern's goal.
With a "dang", the ball hit the post, bounced into the air, and then fell outside the baseline. Before Li Mu had time to regret and Guardiola didn't have time to rejoice, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the half, and Chelsea temporarily led Bayern 1:0 away.
