Chapter 495: Over the Mountain
The pinnacle showdown between Bayern Munich and Barcelona officially kicked off at the Allianz Arena.
Compared to the other Real Madrid vs. Dortmund in the semi-finals, this game between the two world's supergiants battled shirtless, this is indeed a much-anticipated matchup, and even their home fans are willing to use more hard performances to create an atmosphere for the team.
Bayern Munich fans are cheering on the 11 red figures on the pitch in their own way, and for them, watching the game in action is definitely more than just watching the game.
Barcelona's football style is unique, and many people can't imitate it no matter how they imitate it, and many people may not be comfortable with the middle style of play at the beginning, such as Ni Tu, a player who has been "living in Germany".
The German team doesn't usually play the same game as the opponent they are facing, and they know that they can't play like that anyway.
"Barcelona play really fluidly, they keep the football firmly at their feet, so it's definitely not good news for Bayern!"
Leif even had to praise his opponent in the match.
There is no doubt that he is rooting for Bayern Munich, but at least he can maintain the demeanor of a well-known commentator outside of Ni Tu.
As a fan, the most important thing you should do is to support your home team and cheer them on, instead of attacking a part of the team according to your preferences.
The game lasted about 5 minutes, but for Ni Tu, these 5 minutes were definitely not very cool, it was really awkward, he only completed 3 touches.
Because he is in the middle of the field, the pressure he faces is not ordinary, although Xavi and Iniesta are not good at defense, but they only need to use their smart minds and dexterous feet to make Ni Tu unable to do anything.
On more than one occasion, Harvey wanted to tease Ni Tu.
In addition, even if Ni Tu has a chance to get the ball, he has to face the metronome-type Busquets.
"So far, Ni Tu hasn't played effectively, but he doesn't need to be too anxious at all, wait patiently, the opportunity will always come!"
Zhan Jun is actively excusing Ni Tu, of course he knows that he can see that his fellow has not yet entered the state of the game, maybe we are still outside the scope of the game.
Some of the problems Ni Tu encountered were not all his own problems.
Before the game, head coach Heynckes deliberately emphasized that defense is the task of each player, not a single person's business.
"When it comes to defending, we can't afford to sit on the sidelines, especially in this game, we have to be 100 per cent motivated to face this opponent!"
Therefore, Ni Tu will choose to faithfully implement the arrangement of the team coach in most cases, and this time is no exception.
In the face of the threat of Barcelona's midfield, it is difficult to rely solely on Schweinsteiger and Kroos to keep the team's debut in front of "Habaib", Ni Tu must "use his own shortcomings and attack others' strengths" for the benefit of the team.
But Ni Tu didn't complain, on the court, the interests of the team are the most important, and you can't do everything by yourself, right?
Andres Iniesta is curious about this somewhat stubborn opponent:
"What kind of person is still working so hard when he knows that it is impossible and knows that he is doing useless work?"
And Harvey simply wants to teach Ni Tu a lesson because of his opinion of the Chinese, and last summer it was also a Chinese who made his own beloved club disgraced, and it is understandable to hate the house and Wu a little.
"Yellow skin, black hair, it seems that the Chinese that this head coach simply said are not very good, there is not much threat!"
But a master like Harvey rarely does that kind of thing that capsizes in the gutter, he just despises Ni Tu strategically, but he does not give up the slightest intention of attaching importance to the other party tactically.
Not to mention, Ni Tu's talent in the game against Arsenal was enough to make Xavi wary.
"Ni Tu is a little tired of this, what you should do now is not to be played by the other party as a monkey!"
Leif is venting his frustration, he will not find reasons for Ni Tu's mercy like his Chinese counterpart, he is just from the perspective of a fan, which is not a big denigration.
Judging purely from the performance, Leif satirizes Ni Tu like this, Ni Tu still deserves it.
Heynckes is still a little tangled.
On the one hand, he is satisfied with Ni Tu's attitude towards the game and the execution of his orders, like Robben and Ribery will not run and defend as hard as Ni Tu;
On the other hand, the old coach felt that this was killing Ni Tu's merits, and he did half the effort, and he completely failed to achieve his original intention of sending him to the field instead of Muller.
Ni Tu is not omnipotent, he will not be like in some stories, he can "score Cristiano Ronaldo, can assist Messi, can organize Xavi, retreat can defend and laugh at Tinny, maybe he can compete with Buffon Cassie for goal......"
Ni Tu doesn't have such an ability, and he rarely makes headlines because of trouble, he is just a player, the offensive ability is much stronger than the defensive player, you can also understand that he is a "lame" player, but he is definitely a person with a strong will, he has already been a deserter once, and he will never allow himself to do it a second time.
Heynckes decided to change his tactics slightly, and he made the bold decision to give Ni Tu more freedom. At the time of the dead ball, he pulled the "little pig" Schweinsteiger who was rehydrating on the sidelines:
"Bastian, protect Ni Tu in front of you more, I'm going to let him go!"
Schweinsteiger doesn't disobey the head coach and, as the team's metronome, knows when he should be there for his teammates.
So Schweinsteiger brought new instructions from the head coach to Ni Tu.
"The game has come to 20 minutes, and it didn't take long before that Piggy seemed to say something to Ni Tu, Ni Tu was more active than before, and he began to directly impact the Buskes area more!"
The CCTV commentator is a host surnamed Shao, and he is very happy that Ni Tu can be active.
Ni Tu knows how his teammates feel when they give him new instructions, and he is eager to prove himself.
After replying to Schweinsteiger with a firm look and a nod, Ni Tu resolutely looked back at the "Habaibu" in front of him.
There is a mountain in front of you, and that is over the mountain!
