Chapter 246: The Burger in Its Original Form
Before the start of Hamburg's away game against Bayern Munich, when the Hamburg players entered the Allianz Arena for a warm-up, there were boos and invectives from the stands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Despite the high-profile comments made by head coach Fink and several of his teammates before the game, Feng Quan had long expected his team to face hostility from opposing fans at the Allianz Arena. But such a strong reaction from Bayern fans was somewhat unexpected for him.
Not only that, when the players of the Hamburg team finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room, Feng Quan saw the players of the Bayern Munich team who were preparing to warm up on the field, and obviously felt that the other party was not good, and even contained a little angry gaze.
Although he has participated in many games, the opposing players will often have unkind eyes in their eyes. However, it is indeed extremely rare for Bayern to have such a look of anger in their eyes.
Therefore, before the game officially began, Feng Quan had a very strong sense of foreboding in his heart......
ββββββ
Despite preparing for the Champions League quarter-final against Juventus in midweek, Bayern Munich did not field all of their main players. But for them with a terrifying squad thickness, even if some non-main players start the game, they are not much inferior in terms of strength.
For example, Xherdanshaqiri, who started for Bayern Munich in this game, known as the "Swiss Messi", is the best proof of this.
If it were another club, Shaqiri's strength would have been able to firmly occupy a starting position in the team.
Unfortunately, as long as "Peter Pan" Robben and Franckribery "Scar" Franckribery remain healthy, "Swiss Messi" will have to give them two substitutes if he wants to play in his favorite wide position. Or when the manager needs to rotate the squad to get some starts.
And this time, Shaqiri, who rarely got a chance to start, after the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, was like a hungry wolf who hadn't eaten for a long time, and "showed a fierce eye" into the team's attack. And, less than 5 minutes into the game, they knocked on the door of the Hamburg team.
At that time, Tonikroos, who was the forward midfielder of Bayern Munich, received a pass from his teammate on the right side of the front field, and first prepared to cross into the penalty area. When Hamburg's defender RincΓ³n was subconsciously about to stretch his leg to block the passing line, Kroos slammed the ball with his right foot and then passed the ball to Shaqiri near the top of the box.
Claudio Pizarro and Javi Martinez, who were inserted into the box, as well as Arjen Robben roaming to the left side of the field, attracted most of the attention of the Hamburg defenders. Therefore, when Shaqiri received a pass from Kroos, none of the Hamburg defenders stepped forward to interfere with him.
So, after a slight adjustment of "Swiss Messi", he directly got up with his left foot at a position 212 meters away from the goal and completed a long-range shot.
The next moment, the football was seen sticking to the turf and heading straight to the bottom left corner of the goal. Although goalkeeper Adler swooped towards the left side of the goal at the first time, he still couldn't stop the goal from being broken.
After the goal, Shaqiri rushed to the corner chess area, and then kept shaking the corner flagstick while roaring wildly.
For the Swiss, who is a bit frustrated in the Bayern team, such a goal is too much needed. Despite his limited playing time so far this season, Shaqiri has also scored six goals for the team. However, of the five goals before this game, with the exception of the one against Borussia MΓΆnchengladbach, which was a crucial equaliser, the remaining four goals were all icing on the cake when the team's victory was decided.
Today's goal against Hamburg was Shaqiri's first opening since joining Bayern.
ββββββ
I don't know if they were frightened by the ferocity of their opponents, or if they conceded a goal too early and caused the Hamburg players to panic.
Just 10 minutes after Shaqiri's opener, Bayern headed in a corner from the left. Arjen Robben's short pass from a corner to Shaqiri, who won the ball and crossed into the box, where Schweinsteiger leaped high and headed home from close range.
Interestingly, the last time away to Hamburg, the "Little Pig" also scored with a header, and it seems that the Hamburg players are not comfortable with his back-to-back goal grabbing.
Ten minutes later, it was another corner, only this time on the right side. Robben's corner kick was blanched by Hamburg centre-back Bruma and flew to the back of the net.
Immediately afterwards, Claudio Pizarro, who shook off Westerman's marking, fired a direct volley. Adler reached out to block it, but he couldn't stop the ball from running into the top right corner of the goal.
After another five minutes, Robben won the ball on the right and cut in laterally and handed the ball to Pizarro in the corner of the box. After the Peruvian veteran's light back-heel pass and Robben collided with the wall, Robben had to push the ball into the bottom right corner of the net from inside the box.
Although in the previous game, the Hamburg team also had the experience of falling behind in the first half, and then fighting back to win in the second half. However, there has never been a situation like today, when the first half of the game was not over and it was already four goals behind.
Although Adler at this time, he was roaring loudly at the defenders of his team to vent his dissatisfaction. But Feng Quan, who was standing outside the penalty area and was responsible for guarding against the opponent's long-range shots, only saw a slightly sluggish expression on the faces of those teammates who were "roared". It looked as if Adler's roar hadn't reached their ears at all.
Especially before the game, Son Xingmin, who had said in an interview with reporters that "the gap between Hamburg and Bayern is just the back line", completely "disappeared" in the first half of the game......
Therefore, even though he was extremely unwilling, after seeing this scene, Feng Quan's heart was also very clear that what the Hamburg team was going to face today was destined to be a fiasco......
ββββββ
Although most of his teammates have lost confidence because the team is behind by a large score, Feng Quan himself did not choose to give up.
Taking advantage of Bayern's brief relaxation after taking a big lead, Feng Quan received a pass from Badelli on the left side of the front, and first relied on the terrifying speed advantage to overtake Shaqiri's defense first.
In the face of Rafinha's defense, which replaced Philippoplahm in this game, Feng Quan first crossed the ball with his left foot, then flicked the ball sideways with the outside of his right foot, and then went directly to the outside of the penalty area a little to the left, and completed a heavy bombardment with his right foot.
Although the angle of Feng Quan's long-range shot was not very tricky, because of Bayern goalkeeper Manuelneuer, he did not expect him to shoot directly from that position. In addition, the ball shot by the wind hit the back of the opposing central defender Dante in the middle of the flight, causing a refraction.
So, before Neuer could react, the ball crashed into the net......
ββββββ
Feng Quan, who pulled back a goal, did not make any celebratory movements, but quickly ran to the goal, and then picked up the football and ran quickly towards the center circle. And, in the process of running to the middle circle, when passing by a few teammates, he shouted at them: "The game is not over yet, even if we lose, we can't be beaten down by our opponents......"
Although Feng Quan knew very well that it would be difficult for Hamburg to get out of the Allianz Arena today, he did not want to see his team being defeated by their opponents.
However, it is a bit of a pity that the goal pulled back by Feng Quan did not seem to have much of an incentive for his teammates, other than to get the home Bayern team back into the game......
