Chapter 641: Head on Blow
"Audience friends, welcome to the 19th round of the 2007-2008 Bundesliga season. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"We're doing it live at the Allianz Arena in Munich right now. ”
"Today's match is between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen, who are playing away. ”
"For this competition, we have invited the famous best-selling author and host of the German Public Broadcasting Union, Alder Zegler, to welcome Alder. ”
"Hello, I'm Alder Zegler, your true Bremen friend. ”
"Haha, Alder, your opening statement is a direct statement. ”
"Yes, I never hid it. ”
"As far as I know, you've been working for Werder Bremen for a few years since 2001 as a stadium announcer, and you've published a number of books about Werder Bremen, so you're certainly familiar with the team. ”
"Yes, I am a native of Bremen, I know very, very well and love Werder Bremen. ”
"OK, so what are you expecting from this fight?"
Alder Zegler thought for a moment, "There is no doubt that the signs of Bayern Munich winning the title are very clear so far this season, and although I hate to say that, I don't think anyone can stop Gao Han and his team. ”
"Hmm. The moderator nodded in agreement.
"But I would say that from this season to now, there have been a few games in which Bayern Munich have almost been held to a draw or even lost, but there has never been one like today, full of suspense from the start, and I think Werder Bremen is the team with the best chance to beat Bayern Munich and this game is the best chance of the season. ”
"Do you think Werder Bremen have what it takes to take the three points from the Allianz Arena?"
"Of course. Alder Zegler nodded, "As far as I know, Schaff has been preparing for this fight for the past week and I think he should have enough strategy to deal with it. ”
"Okay, we've got the starting line-up for Werder Bremen here, so let's take a look. ”
Werder Bremen's starting line-up list immediately appeared on the TV screen.
'The goalkeeper is the Weese we know, with Tosic and Passane at the left and right wing-backs, and Mertesacker and Bowman in the centre-backs. ”
"Well, it should be said that this set of defenses is not unexpected. ”
Schaff changed his previous strategy of playing with two strikers and played five in midfield, with Daniel Jensen and Borowski behind, Hunt, Diego and Hanic up front, and Rosenberg as the lone striker. ”
Speaking of which, the host looked at Alder Zegler, "What do you think of Werder Bremen's starting lineup?"
"Very targeted. ”
"Targeted?"
"Yes, we all know that Gao Han has always attached importance to the midfield, Schaff has been a double striker in the previous two games, and the result was lost, a very important reason is the loss of midfield, and this game he strengthened the midfield, obviously to suppress Bayern Munich, and we must note that Van Bommel is absent, which will have a great impact on Bayern Munich. ”
"Okay, now let's take a look at the home team, Bayern Munich's starting line-up. ”
"Judging by the squad we got before the game, Bayern Munich seem to play with a back five. ”
'The goalkeeper is still Manuel Neuer, the two wing-backs on the left and right are Marcelo and Lahm, and Bad Stuber, Jerome Boateng and Hummels start, but we can't guess what kind of formation Gao Han will come out of for the time being, as Boateng and Bad Stuber have both played in a number of different positions this season, including left-back and centre-back. ”
'The front three remained the same, with Franck Ribery, Klose and Arjen Robben and Schweinsteiger and Luka Modric in midfield. ”
"Alder, what do you think of Bayern Munich's starting line-up?"
"I don't understand it either, but one thing I wonder is, why just two midfielders?"
After a pause, Alder Zegler added: "I think Gao Han is likely to adopt a 541 style of play, with Ribery and Robben retreating to play as full-backs and adopt a counter-attacking strategy. ”
"You mean, Gao Han will play a defensive counterattack?"
"I don't rule out that possibility, because the absence of Lucio and Van Bommel does have a considerable impact on Bayern Munich's defence, and everyone knows that Werder Bremen are better at attacking. ”
"Okay, let's wait and see. ”
As soon as the host's voice fell, I saw an extremely enthusiastic cry from the entire Allianz Stadium.
"We saw players from both teams walking into the pitch one after another, and at the front of the pitch was referee Southten Kinhofer, who is also a very experienced Bundesliga referee. ”
"The Allianz Arena fans were very welcoming to the home team's players, and the live radio was shouting the names of the home team's players one by one, and the fans cheered for each one. ”
"yes. Alder Zegler also had to praise, "The Allianz Arena has been very hot this season, and it is enviable. ”
"Captains Bowman and Lahm were guessing the edge, and Werder Bremen were given serve. ”
"Bayern Munich's formation seems to be a bit different from what we had assumed, with the two full-backs Lahm and Marcelo moving up the front and even on par with Schweinsteiger and Luka Modric, leaving behind the centre-back duo of Bad Stuber, Hummels and Boateng. ”
"It seems that Gao Han did take a different style of play in this game. ”
Alder Zegler was also a little surprised, "This is indeed a bit of a surprise, with a back three, then Bayern Munich's backline is three 19-year-olds, is this a bit too much?"
Gao Han's back three was obviously aimed at Werder Bremen's double striker, but now that Schaaf has removed a striker and switched to a single striker, using Hunter and Harnick to attack the wings, I am afraid that Gao Han's wishful thinking will be frustrated. ”
"When the time comes, Hunter, Harnick and Diego, especially Diego, will be very threatening to play in the back row. ”
The moderator obviously agrees with Alder Zegler's judgment as a back three is a rarity.
…………
…………
With a whistle from referee Kimhofer and the cheers of the Bayern Munich fans in the stadium, the game finally began.
Werder Bremen was the first to gain serve, but Bayern Munich did not press up for the ball as usual, but steadily retreated, which allowed Werder Bremen to quickly stabilize the ball and quickly advance through the half.
Just forty-one seconds into the game, Diego was twenty-five meters in front of him, and after receiving a pass from his teammate, he fired a low shot directly and hit the first shot of the game, but it was slightly wide.
But this shot also showed the sharpness of Werder Bremen.
Since the beginning of this season, Werder Bremen has conceded four goals in two games against Bayern Munich, which can be said to be a complete defeat, but everyone is very unconvinced.
Even, in the first two minutes, Bayern Munich struggled to hold the ball.
"Hey, Mats, pay attention to the depth, a little further back. ”
"Holger, Jerome, don't be so inward, widen a little more on the sides. ”
Gao Han directed the game from the sidelines, adjusting the players' positions.
Although the team has practiced many times in training, it is still the same set of pass-and-control play in its bones, but in the game, Bayern Munich was a little dizzy when it was hit by Werder Bremen's opening attack.
At the end of the day, it's the lack of experience of young players and the lack of adaptation to new tactics.
Werder Bremen took advantage of Bayern Munich's unstable foothold to quickly launch waves of attacks.
In the fifth minute, Rosenberg suddenly pulled to the left side of the box, and Jerome Boateng did not follow up immediately, resulting in Rosenberg receiving a pass from a team-mate and sending a low cross from the left to the middle.
At this time, Diego suddenly stepped forward into the penalty area, grabbed Hummels' tackle, poked lightly, let the ball avoid Hummels's tackle, and then accelerated to catch up, and gently sent the ball into the close goal.
……
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!”
In the fifth minute, just five minutes into the game, Werder Bremen opened the scoring for Bayern Munich. ”
"The whole Allianz Arena was silent. ”
"It was definitely a head-on blow for Bayern Munich, conceding a goal in the opening five minutes, which was obviously quite a disadvantage. ”
During the slow-motion replay on live TV, Alder Zegler was also very excited.
"Look at Werder Bremen's attack, as I said earlier, the back three doesn't protect the wings enough, Rosenberg is smart, he pulls to the left to receive the ball, and then crosses into the box to play to the advantage of Diego's back insertion. ”
"I would say it was a mistake at the defensive level of Bayern Munich, Schweinsteiger couldn't keep up with Diego, but in general, the cold line-up is still largely responsible. ”
It was Diego's 10th goal of the season and a very good attacking striker. ”
……
There was a dead silence at the Allianz Arena, followed by a flood of boos.
Boo is Werder Bremen, who celebrate the goal.
Not to mention being pressed by the opponent at the beginning, and being scored by the opponent in five minutes, how can this kind of game be played?
The players on the pitch were all looking a little frustrated, and this time it was indeed their mismatch.
But conceding the ball in five minutes, this ......
"It's okay, it's okay, cheer up, guys!"
Gao Han's shouts came from the sidelines, causing all the players to look over in unison.
"I remember what I told you before the game, it's okay to lose the ball first, remember? cheer me up, steady, steady!"
It was only then that the players remembered that the manager had just repeatedly emphasized in the dressing room that the first half should be steady?
Even conceding a goal first was expected by the manager.
"Don't worry, don't worry, just concede a goal, we can still get it back, but we can't rush. ”
"Listen to me, don't worry, take your time, and stabilize your position first. ”
"Like we did in pre-game training, do you understand?"
Gao Han looked confident on the sidelines, clapping his hands and encouraging the players, without the slightest anxiety between his words, as if he hadn't been scored at all just now, coupled with the words in the locker room before the game, all the players calmed down.
In particular, the three youngsters of Hummels, Boateng and Bad Stuber are even more relieved.
For Gao Han, they all have inexplicable confidence.
And since the boss said it doesn't matter, then it definitely doesn't matter, and he will definitely be able to chase it back in the second half.
But the premise is that from now on, you have to stabilize your position.
