Chapter 549: Run! Teammate!
Scoring in a downwind situation is just the icing on the cake, scoring in a headwind situation, that's the true nature of a superstar!
So far in the game, Chelsea has indeed encountered trouble, and the trouble is not small, at this time, it is most necessary for Lin Yu to score, or help his teammates score!
Lin Yu is not the kind of striker who can't do anything without the support of his teammates, he is good at fighting alone, and even if he is left alone in the front court, he can cause huge problems to the opponent.
Although he played in the middle of the field today, the striker's heart will not change, he wants to score, he wants to score very much, because no matter how good you intercept, you can't change the score, but if you can score a goal, the score will change, and the situation on the field will be reversed immediately.
Although Bayern is strong, they have lost to Chelsea twice in a row, including last season's Champions League final, the first leg of this season's Champions League semifinals, so they are psychologically weak, and now if Lin Yu can score a goal, it will not only be as simple as changing the score, but may even completely destroy Bayern Munich's psychological defense, making them fall into a state of complete collapse.
There will always be times when people will collapse, and when you completely lose hope, what else can you pursue?
Lin Yu's hard work also inspired his teammates, everyone remembered what Mourinho said at halftime, and they all wanted to do Bayern here, and then go to the Champions League final to defeat Barcelona with shame and hatred.
Once the flame of revenge burns, it must be irrepressibly exhilarating, if not revenge. Then you will be scorched by this flame, and you will be in pain. Never wake up from it.
A ball! It only takes one ball to kick Bayern Munich into a dark and boundless hell! One ball is enough!
Torres worked hard today, but he was well guarded. But he didn't give up, he was still fighting, grabbing! Lin Yu saw his teammates working so hard, and he had a little more confidence in his heart, at least his teammates were not the kind of lazy and unmotivated, which was to be thankful.
Fighting spirit!
There is morale!
There is a goal!
So what else is needed?
That's when someone needs to step up!
More than 30 minutes have passed in the second half, but the score has not changed! The Chelsea players are still afraid to relax, but they are very happy with the situation because Bayern want to eliminate them. You have to score two goals in a row, but now the game is ten minutes away, and Bayern wants to score two goals in such a short period of time, which is really unrealistic.
The Chelsea players are now very stable, but the Bayern Munich players are starting to get upset, playing more and more urgently, often making some low-level mistakes, passing the ball incorrectly, and passing directly to the feet of the Chelsea players. Shooting anti-aircraft guns, random long-range shooting, completely out of order.
Seeing this, Lin Yu knew. The time has finally come for the counter-attack, Bayern are hoping to score, and now the defense is very weak. Even Torres began to go untapped. Only when he has the ball will someone follow him to intercept it. The rest of the time, Torres was like a free man, with no one to interfere with his movements.
Sky Sports' commentary looked very confident: "Seeing this, I am basically sure that Chelsea has won, but there is no shadow of the goal, if this game can end with a score of 0:0, it is also a good ending, Bayern's previous offensive was not bad, but this period of time because I wanted to score too much, but the game was very chaotic, people who don't know, I thought which amateur team came to wear Bayern's jersey." ”
The German commentator was not in such a good mood, and he kept muttering: "Shameful turtle tactics! Have the ability to pull out and attack! It's anti-football! Anti-football! ”
It's a pity that his words can only resonate with Bayern fans, anyway, the defensive counterattack does not violate the rules, and the iron bucket formation can only be done with tacit understanding.
Guardiola finally chose to make a substitution, he ripped off Van Bitten, who turned slowly, and replaced Robben! At the same time, Mandzukić replaced Tonik Rose!
He's going to play with a back three because he's going to have to attack!
Now, Bayern's front court has gathered five people, Ribery, Robben, Thomas Muller, Mandzukic, and Gotze, each of whom has a strong attacking power and is definitely a huge threat to Chelsea's defense, but the weakness of this formation is the defense.
Three defenders, single back, once they encounter an offensive, it is really difficult to defend, but Guardiola can't take care of so much, now they must score two goals in ten minutes, this task must be crazy, not to mention that Van Bitten in that position, may not be able to play much role, after all, Torres and Lin Yu are very fast, once the offensive starts, it really can't be stopped.
In response to Bayern's substitution adjustments, Mourinho also made a substitution, he replaced the physically exhausted Frank Lampard with Demba Ba, and planned to play a two-striker tactic.
Since you choose a back three, then I choose a double striker, do you really think my team can't attack?
Lin Yu withdrew further back, he now has to make up for Lampard's defensive responsibilities after he is off the field, but in terms of his strength, this is not a difficult thing, but he is now getting farther and farther away from the penalty area, so it is more difficult to score, but to help the team score, you may not have to score yourself, in fact, Mourinho replaced Demba Ba, just to tell Lin Yu that this game can be appropriately selected to pass.
Lin Yu has no opinion on Mourinho's arrangement, this is the so-called capable person works harder, he defends well and organizes well, in this case, in the case of having established a lead, there is no need to take risks, he can play a defensive role, he is also quite satisfied, not to mention that he has already thought about it, anyway, now Messi is still two goals away from his record, and he is not afraid that there will be no goals in this game.
Demba Ba and Torres are different types, and Torres needs distance and space to be able to rush up in order to play to his strengths. Demba Ba, on the other hand, is more suitable for stumbling catches, as long as the ball comes from the back. He can basically get ahead of a defender unless the opponent fouls. Otherwise, it's really hard not to let him get the ball.
These two men stand in front, basically without flaws, Demba Ba takes the ball, Torres waits for an opportunity to attack, this may also be the standard two-forward tactic in the past, Torres is now more like a shadow striker than a center.
Bayern Munich want to attack, but now they find that having Demba Ba up front is also a big problem. Lin Yu's passing, can always accurately find Demba Ba's point, three defenders and one back, there is not much to do about Demba Ba and Torres, it has been several times, and it was almost successfully counterattacked by Torres.
Pep Guardiola walked around the sidelines, looking nervous, and so far he had not scored, and he was getting more and more desperate. The less time there is left in the game, the slimmer the hope of scoring a goal becomes. Without Chelsea's attack, it is estimated that their players should slowly collapse.
Who can get one!
As long as you can get one! It can make the scene a lot better! In previous games, it was not uncommon to score two goals in a matter of minutes.
When the game came to the eighty-fifth minute. An accident left Guardiola ecstatic. He almost jumped on the sidelines.
It was a bit of a frustration at the time, but Chelsea defended well overall. But after all, Bayern Munich also has the kind of player who can decide the outcome with one kick.
Franck Franck Ribery had his back to the ball, Thomas Muller and Arjen Robben cut in at the same time, and before the Chelsea defenders could intercept, Ribery deftly flicked the ball back, leaping just over the heads of the Chelsea defenders before falling to Thomas Muller's head.
Thomas Muller wasn't in a great position at the moment, he saw Robben and then a header was knocked out to Robben.
At this time, Cech thought Thomas Muller would shoot because of a mistake in judgment, so he went to defend Thomas Muller's shooting line, but who knew that the ball ended up at the feet of Robben.
"Empty door!"
The German commentator shouted excitedly.
"Robben shoots!"
Peter Pan's solo shot wasn't great, but the shot from close range didn't go wide and hit the net right into the net, cutting through the Chelsea defence.
"One more!"
"One more!"
The whole stadium was thunderous, the Bayern Munich fans were boiling, they saw hope, they saw the hope of qualifying, as long as they can score another goal, this game can be over, they will eliminate Chelsea by away goals and successfully qualify for the final.
Many people are already fantasizing about the title, and for Barcelona, they are really not afraid, and if they can reach the final, they have already won the title.
Mourinho spread his hands, a little helpless, this ball is really the power of the star, even if the defense is good, it is very troublesome, so Mourinho will choose the appropriate attack, otherwise if it is just a simple defense, it will be a completely passive situation.
However, he was not frustrated for long, because after a few tens of seconds, Chelsea equalised again, and in a way that no one expected.
Robben didn't celebrate, and neither did the other Bayern players, who carried the ball to the midfield and signaled the referee to blow the whistle as soon as possible, because they had another goal to score.
But they didn't know that this anxiety had caused them a lot of trouble, and a goal they had worked so hard to win turned into a floating cloud.
Standing at the center of the midfield, Lin Yu and Demba Ba were broken.
"Knock the ball to me and run straight ahead, you know?" Lin Yu said to Demba Ba.
"Got it!" Demba Ba absolutely admires and admires Lin Yu, Lin Yu's words, of course he will listen, and if he can score a goal in such an important game, it will be a supreme honor for him.
Then, the referee's whistle sounded.
Demba Ba knocked the ball to Lin Yu and then quickly moved forward as Torres sprinted.
Gotze and Thomas Muller in midfield rushed towards Lin Yu, hoping to force Lin Yu to make a mistake and lose the ball, so that they could counter-attack on the spot and then have a quick counter-attack.
But they don't look at it, who is this person with the ball? He's Lin Yu!
When has the ball under Lin Yu's feet been cut off by two or less players? Unless it's a foul, there's no point at all.
But this time, Lin Yu didn't stick to the ball, he showed a bright smile at Thomas Muller, who came over, and then suddenly a big kick pumped the ball directly towards Bayern's goal.
"He shot! He actually shot at goal! Shot near midfield, is it because I want to score too much? The German commentator obviously didn't care about Lin Yu's approach, and he didn't think that Lin Yu's shot would pose any threat to Neuer.
But when the commentator saw Neuer's position, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It's too forward, it's really too forward, this is simply a chance to give others a chance to hang the door!
Manuel Neuer quickly returned to the defence and kept his eyes on the ball, but he didn't see Torres and Demba Ba in the sprint.
Torres had already crossed the entire Bayern backline by this point, while Demba Ba was a little slower, but not a little more than Bayern's.
Because they started early, and Lin Yu's shot was just right, just not to put the two in an offside position.
Bad Stuber certainly can't catch up, speed is not his forte.
Lahm is desperately chasing back, Schweinsteiger is also desperately chasing back, and Alaba is also chasing back, because before, when Demba Ba and Torres rushed forward, the two fullbacks were going in opposite directions, they wanted to attack, they wanted to create offside, but this was used by Lin Yu instead.
