Chapter 492: The Most Outstanding Defender

This is Yan Tao's first goal for Bayern and the thirteenth goal of his career! Ten for clubs, two for the national team, and one for the National Olympic team. As a young defender at 22 years old, it's amazing to have such a statistic!"

After the goal, Yan Tao was very excited, he ran to Zhang Shujie's side, jumped on his friend's body, and Zhang Shujie also hugged him with a smile. Chen Hui stood in the press booth and looked at the two Chinese players in the field with a smile on his face, if Bayern can win this game, then today's manuscript will be very well written.

To be honest, Guardiola was very surprised, he didn't expect Yan Tao to not only assist Zhang Shujie to score a goal, but also block a must-score goal for Kiessling, especially Yan Tao's header before the end of the first half, which was an additional surprise.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Bayern Munich was able to walk to the locker room with a goal advantage, while Bayer Leverkusen's players were a little frustrated, seeing that the half was about to end, but they conceded the goal. Fortunately, with 45 minutes to go, Bayer Leverkusen were not completely out of chances in the second half, but Bayern looked like they had more chances.

In the locker room, Guardiola specially named and praised Yan Tao, and fully affirmed his performance, and although Yan Tao was a little proud in his heart, he was still very modest on the surface.

Chen Hui recorded Yan Tao's goal in detail, even more detailed than the previous record of Zhang Shujie. In Chen Hui's view, Zhang Shujie's goal is not an uncommon thing, it is commonplace, on the contrary, Yan Tao, who rarely gets so much playing time today, is different, his one goal and one assist are enough to appear in any magazine.

In the second half of the game, the players on both sides did not make any changes, but Leverkusen raised the offensive more violently, perhaps because of the home advantage, a lot of fans, or maybe the coach's advice at halftime.

Bayern, on the other hand, only had the ability to parry for a while.

The commentator couldn't help but say: "Bayer Leverkusen completely suppressed Bayern in these ten minutes, which seems a bit incredible, but it is the case, if it wasn't for Kiessling and Sam each squandering a great chance, Bayer Leverkusen should have overtaken the score." ”

Bayern's defense is currently the busiest, Yan Tao's save and a goal in the first half gave him great encouragement, so he was also leaky in defense, and did not let the opposing striker get a chance to shoot in front of him.

Bender slashed in the middle to find Kiessling, and Boateng, who was defending Kiessling, slipped at his feet, allowing Kiessling to successfully counter offside, and once he received the ball, he would surely form a single knife.

At the critical moment, Yan Tao didn't wait for Kiessling to grab back, he stepped up to grab it himself, blocked the route of the ball, and successfully intercepted the ball halfway, and Kisling ran empty. However, after he passed the ball to Schweinsteiger, "Piggy" failed to protect the ball and was snatched back by Leinerts, and Bayer Leverkusen won the ball again.

Bayern's backfield team gave Bayer Leverkusen another wave of attacking opportunities, Leinerts split the ball to the right, Bonisch got the ball and leaned on Lahm, forced a cross, Boateng, who was close to Kiessling, actually missed the top during the battle, and Kiessling unloaded the ball from his teammates in the penalty area.

"Kiessling alone against the goalkeeper, Bayern are in danger!"

Neuer attacked, Kiessling pretended to shoot, deceived Neuer to the ground, and then buckled, deducted the Bayern door god, empty goal!

Kiessling kicks and shoots!

Yan Tao fell sideways and raised his feet!

The ball hit Yan Tao's leg and bounced off the bottom line.

Bayern had a false alarm.

"Yan Tao saved Bayern again! Bayern escaped death again! It can be said that Yan Tao is the best defender in this game, there is no one!"

Bayer Leverkusen's corner did not threaten, Boateng headed the ball out, Sam wanted to make up for it, but Yan Tao cut the ball first and knocked it to Kroos in front.

As soon as Kroos got the ball, it was definitely to push Bayern's attack, and the young Kroos is now the chief playmaker of the Bayern team, and his grooming in the midfield is excellent even if you look at today's football.

Bayer Leverkusen's players almost all came up from the corner and are now desperately trying to get back into defence, and Bayern are a good chance to counter-attack.

Kroos gave the ball to Ribery on the left, Ribery took out seven or eight meters, stuffed forward, Alaba's assist along the sideline, and after receiving the ball, he looked at the front court, sent a long pass, and found Zhang Shujie.

Under the pressing and pulling of Toprak, Zhang Shujie unloaded the ball.

Mueller came up.

Zhang Shujie saw that Muller's position was better, because Leverkusen's defense had not completely retreated, so Muller was almost unguarded, so Zhang Shujie did not entangle with Toprakdo, and knocked the ball to Muller.

Toprak saw that his teammates had not yet run to the defensive position, so he could only leave Zhang Shujie alone and run towards Muller. Muller was only a few steps away from the penalty area, and Toprak simply couldn't wait for his team-mate to return, he had to go up.

In this way, Bayern formed a two-on-one.

Muller then sent the ball diagonally forward at 30 degrees and sent it into the penalty area, Zhang Shujie strode in, Leno had already come out to block the angle, but Zhang Shujie gently took the ball and walked out of an empty goal.

This is the same as the situation of Kiessling a few minutes ago, but Bayern was lucky to let Yan Tao out of the siege, but Bayer Leverkusen did not have such a lucky person.

Zhang Shujie gently pushed with his right foot, and the ball jumped over the goal line and glued to the net!

The score became 3:1! It was the fifty-eighth minute of the game, and Bayern had a two-goal lead over Bayer Leverkusen!

The home fans fell silent and the away fans cheered loudly. Zhang Shujie patted his heart and ran towards Muller, the two hugged each other, and then his teammates also ran over to celebrate the crucial goal with the two.

Hyypia shook his head and walked back to the dugout, his players had been attacking Bayern's goal for more than ten minutes, and without scoring a goal, Bayern knocked on their own city with one chance. It can only be attributed to the ability of the striker.

Hyypia was thinking that it would be nice if he also had Zhang Shujie on his team. But on second thought, a team like Leverkusen will definitely not be able to keep this great god.

After the celebration, the players from both sides walked back to half court, and the Bayer Leverkusen players kicked off in the centre circle and the game continued.
