Bayern Munich's original home stadium was the famous Olympic Stadium in Munich, which hosted the World Cup and European Championship finals, and its unique Alpine-like snow-white roof is a major feature. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoLater, in preparation for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the German side decided to rebuild a new stadium in Munich, which is now the Allianz Arena (allianz_arena). The foundation stone of the modern stadium, which cost almost 300 million euros, began in October 2002 and was completed in April 2005.

The stadium was originally built by the clubs Bayern Munich and Munich 1860, as well as by the Allianz Group, which under the contract had joint ownership of the Allianz Arena, and the Allianz Group contributed 90 million euros in exchange for the naming rights for 15 years.

Bayern Munich also sold 10% of the club's shares to Adidas for 75 million euros in order to finance the construction of the stadium. Halfway through the construction, another club, Munich 1860, told Bayern that they had run out of money and could not continue to invest in the stadium construction. Bayern Munich had no choice but to buy Munich 1860's stake in the Allianz Arena, which will now belong to FC Bayern Munich, and Munich 1860 will continue to use the new Allianz Arena on a lease until 2025.

The new Allianz Arena is characterised by their façade canopy, which is made up of a transparent diamond-shaped membrane structure that shimmers in the sunlight and has a magical visual effect. At night, it can be lit up in red, blue and white (red for Bayern Munich, blue for Munich 1860, and white for the German national team).

From the outside, the stadium looks like a lifebuoy or a rubber boat, which is why the people of Munich also refer to the stadium as a "seat belt" or "rubber boat".

It's night, and the Allianz Arena glows red throughout.

It's a matchday at Bayern Munich, and it's Bayern Munich who play here.

Their opponent is Mace, who is also red as the main color.

The stadium stands with a capacity of 66,000 people are full. Bayern Munich have been reduced to playing in the UEFA Cup this season, but their fans are still supportive.

Ten minutes into the game, the two sides ended the tentative phase and Bayern Munich began to attack in a big way. Naturally, they will try to score more goals when they play at home first, and at the same time let Metz score less or try not to score at all, so that they can take the initiative in the second leg.

Metz knew what tactics Bayern Munich would use, so they played defensive counter-attacks in this game.

Hold on first, and then wait for the opportunity to fight back. Defence is a top priority and a 0-0 draw away from Bayern Munich would be a big win.

Although he joked off the court that he would wave to Chu Zhongtian for the ball in the game, but when it came to the game, Ribery didn't care about doing so. He constantly attacked Mace's defense on the side, and in order to defend him, Chu Zhongtian would sometimes make up for the side.

Fifteen minutes into the game, the two have already had three direct face-to-face chances.

In the first two times, Ribery used the cooperation of his teammates and himself, as well as his speed and technique to break through Chu Zhongtian. The third time occurred in the fourteenth minute, when Ribery repeated his old trick and wanted to break through Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian didn't give him time to make a move, and decisively and quickly shoveled down.

The Ribery people stepped over, but the football was left behind by Chu Zhongtian.

Looking back and seeing Chu Zhongtian still lying on the ground, Ribery hurriedly turned around and threw himself at the football.

Chu Zhongtian had expected that Ribery would not give up so easily, if the opponent was someone else, Ribery might have lost possession like this, but in the face of himself, this person would definitely be entangled with himself to the end. So he didn't have time to get up, he lay on the ground and swept the football out with his right foot.

Promans received the ball swept by Chu Zhongtian and passed it to Menez in front.

Ribery pounced.

"Hell!" He muttered.

Chu Zhongtian got up from the ground with a smile, and then patted him on the back. "You're not fast enough." He deliberately angered Ribery.

※※※Although Chu Zhongtian successfully prevented Ribery's breakthrough, the team's condition was not good. In terms of strength, the gap between the two sides is too large. It's not the gap between Metz and Sevilla, it's the gap between Metz and Bayern Munich. Although Metz also won the Champions League champion AC Milan, it was the UEFA Super Cup, and the team was holding their breath. The fighting spirit in this game is obviously not as good as in that game.

And Bayern Munich's style is very Kemez, they are tougher and more direct than AC Milan.

Metz is good at playing attacking football, with delicate feet, well-organized passes, and many short passes.

Bayern Munich is much more direct, defending with high pressure in the midfield, and then using the individual abilities of Ribery, Toney and others to impact Metz's defence.

Bayern Munich fielded the strongest squad they could field in this game.

Goalkeeper is Oliver. Kahn (oliver_kahn). The central defenders were Lucio and Demichelis, and the left-back was Marcel. Jensen (marcell_jansen) and right-back is Philippe. Ram (philipp_lahm). There is a fan in the midfield. Bommel (mark_van_bommel), Frank. Ribery, Schweinsteiger, Ze. Roberto (ze_roberto). The striker is Luca. Tony (luca_toni) and Podolsky (lukas_podolski).

Among them, Fan. Bommel plays a similar role to Chu Zhongtian, connecting midfield and defence, and he was used by Bayern to replace Ballack after Ballack's transfer to Chelsea. Ballack is a midfielder who is both offensive and defensive. Bommel too, just one size weaker than Ballack.

Schweinsteiger is a midfielder, with a delicate technique and a long-range shot.

Ribery and Ze. Roberto was on both flanks, Podolski often retreated, and Luca was on the flanks. Toney plays a strong centre-forward, up front, not dropping back easily, threatening Metz's goal with his headers and shots.

In the twenty-third minute, Metz launched a counterattack, Chu Zhongtian took the ball in the midfield, Schweinsteiger came up to interfere, he passed the football to Promans who was inserted behind, and continued to run forward. As a result, when Promans passed the ball forward to Menez, the football hit Van Van. Beaumel's leg bounced off and was intercepted by Ribery, who was back in action.

Ribery received the ball and turned around, did not pass the ball to anyone, and rushed forward with the ball himself!

Chu Zhongtian was originally running forward, but when he saw Ribery break the ball and then turn around and take it forward, he knew what this kid was going to do. Although the two of them no longer play football together, that tacit understanding is like a broken thread of lotus root, and it is still tied as if there is nothing.

He immediately turned and chased after Ribery.

This time, even if it is a foul, Ribery will be stopped!

Ribery also knew Chu Zhongtian's thoughts, so as soon as Chu Zhongtian got closer, he passed the football out.

As soon as Chu Zhongtian wanted to foul, he pounced, and could only watch the football being sent out by Ribery, and there was an obvious loophole in the middle!

Podolski pulled out to catch the ball and also pulled out his defending centre-back Rodriguez.

Ribery didn't stop after passing the ball and continued to cut straight forward.

However, Chu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, he saw that Podolski did not shoot, but passed the football to the side again.

Ribery catches the ball.

He started to chase again, but it was too late. Receiving the ball, Ribery did not continue to break down, but crossed directly, and the ball went over the heads of the unprepared Metz defenders and landed very precisely on Toney's chest, which he used to unload the ball, and then turned and volleyed with his feet!

The football flew into the goal with a roar, and the goalkeeper Wenbi hadn't reacted at this moment!

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Bayern Munich beat Metz with a nice counterattack! ”

The Allianz Arena was full of jubilation.

Ribery, who had completed the assist, ran towards Tony, and he had a good relationship with him in the team.

Watching Ribery and Tony hugging each other to celebrate the goal, Chu Zhongtian had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

What was once a good friend has become an enemy today...... For the first time, he experienced this feeling deeply.

"Frank. Ribery's assist, this is a welcome gift for his old club! ”

After hugging Toney, Ribery did not continue to celebrate the goal and withdrew from the circle. He turned around and saw Chu Zhongtian, and he found that Chu Zhongtian was looking at him, so he shrugged his shoulders at him and grinned.

※※※ Conceding only one goal is not very unacceptable for Metz, even if it ends the game with this score, Metz should be happy, on the contrary, Bayern should feel regretful.

So conceding the ball didn't allow Metz to press all the way to an equaliser. Fernandes did not give such instructions, and Metz continued to defend and counter-attack, aiming for fewer goals conceded.

Ribery is very active, more active than the veteran Ze on the other side. Roberto is much more active, perhaps trying to put on a show in front of his old club and tell them that he is doing well now.

Sometimes he was on the right and sometimes on the left, and the back and forth caused a headache for Metz's backline. Chu Zhongtian had to temporarily give up the task of organizing the attack, and came back to help defend and help his teammates defend the Ribery that was a headache for them.

When Ribery faced Chu Zhongtian, it was as if he had been stimulated, and he was even more energetic.

When Ribery saw Chu Zhongtian running towards him, he was full of dribbling speed, and then turned his back to Chu Zhongtian.

Originally, he could have broken through with the ball in a straight line, but now he turned around unexpectedly and gave up the opportunity to move forward, as if he was going to fight a positional battle.

Chu Zhongtian suddenly felt a little déjà vu in front of him—he seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it all of a sudden...... As soon as Ribery turned his back to Chu Zhongtian, he immediately knocked the football back with his right foot, and then ...... Turn around!

Chu Zhongtian remembered that he had seen this trick in an intra-team training match, and at that time, Ribery's relationship with him was not as good as it is now, Ribery was one-on-one with him, and he was dizzy by this trick...... Still coming?

Chu Zhongtian is not what it used to be, and he immediately made his own defense when Ribery turned around. He didn't tackle the ball and didn't stop Ribery, but turned and retreated.

Ribery's right foot knocked the ball over, and his left foot served as a support foot to support the body to complete the turn, and at the same time, the toe flicked the ball forward!

Next, according to the plan, he should accelerate the pursuit of the ball and completely shake off the stunned Chu Zhongtian.

But the situation was not as he imagined, when he turned around and took the football away at the same time, what he saw was not a horse Pingchuan, but Chu Zhongtian's back.

Chu Zhongtian took advantage of the opportunity when he turned around and dialed the ball to complete the card position, separating the football from Ribery.

Ribery couldn't stop the car and crashed head-on, only to be bounced to the ground by the reaction, of course. And Chu Zhongtian looked back at Berry and controlled the football under his feet.

"Hey! Block fouls! Sitting on the ground, Ribery raised his arms and shouted to the linesman who was nearby.

The linesman ignored him.

Chu Zhongtian took control of the ball and turned around, and then shook his right index finger at Ribery. Then, under Ribery's unwilling gaze, he passed the ball out.

"Don't think of me as I was three years ago, Frank."

"You bastard......"

※※※The first half ended like this. Bayern Munich slowed down a bit after the goal, and Metz did not show that they had to score, so a 1-0 loss was a good result for them.

At half-time, Fernandes praised the team's performance, except for the counterattack failure to give Bayern a chance, Metz's defense was well organized and did not give Bayern Munich too many chances. Toney had just three shots on goal in the first half, one of which went in, and the other two didn't even go inside the woodwork.

It can be seen that Metz's defense against Tony is very successful.

The only trouble came from Ribery. As Bayern's most active player in the first half, he gave the Metz defence a headache.

But fortunately, Chu Zhongtian's assistance in defense gave Ribery a headache too.

Fernandes instructed his team to continue playing like this in the second half, defending solidly and waiting for opportunities to counter-attack. If there is no good chance, it is better to give up the opportunity to counterattack than to give Bayern another chance to score. As for what it means to be considered "no good counterattack opportunity", it depends on the players on the field to grasp it, especially how Chu Zhongtian masters this degree.

Metz's tactics are simple, try to win away from home with fewer losses and score another goal if you can.

And Bayern Munich's tactics are also very simple, which is to attack.

A one-goal lead is not safe.

Bayern Munich coach Otmar. Heathfield (ottmar_hitzfeld) was unhappy with their team's performance in the first half as they slowed down the tempo after scoring a goal and were less hungry for goals.

He asked Bayern Munich to step up their attack in the second half and be sure to score again, at least one more.

This will not give Metz a chance to return to the home court and turn the tables.

After the start of the second half, Bayern Munich did strengthen the attack, but Metz had already anticipated it, so they also strengthened the defense, and for a while they couldn't even get past half of the game, so they shrank in their own penalty area. Judging from the scene, of course, this is ugly, but compared to the result, it is not a big deal to be ugly at this time.

It's not often that Metz has played such ugly games, but when they decided to do so, they must have been with the belief that "results come first".

The only difference from the previous one was that Ribery had previously played as a counter-attacking arrowhead in front of him, and he had excellent speed and individual skill, and he was very capable of fighting alone, and sometimes he was able to solve problems alone.

It's different now, Metz is on the defensive, but there is no one who can fight back, and Ribery is on the other side.

So Mace can only defend to the death, Chu Zhongtian has taken the ball several times to look up, and it is clear that there is a chance in front, but because there is no suitable person to respond, he can only choose to give up, regain control of the football, and then pass back and forth, the opponent's defenders and midfielders have all retreated like a low tide, and then want to attack? Let's play a positional battle with Bayern Munich.

In the end, because he couldn't find a suitable opportunity, he had to force a long-range shot or simply a rough cross. With Lucio and Demichelis letting go, Ibisevic didn't get much of a decent chance. The striker, who has been in the air in Ligue 1, has not performed well against a Bundesliga giant-level defence.

However, Menez was able to create some chances with his flexible footwork.

For more than half of the second half, Bayern Munich besieged Metz, and Metz defended it. Occasionally, there will be a few opportunities to fight back, and it will not be painful.

The German fans at the Allianz Arena chanted and cheered for their team. For Bayern Munich fans, playing in the UEFA Cup is an uncommon experience, how many years have they been competing in the European Champions Cup?

However, Bayern Munich fans don't think it's a good thing to be able to play in the UEFA Cup at all, they just want to crush every opponent they meet, and finally announce their return with the UEFA Cup winner, next season they will go to the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Cup? Whoever wants to play is going to play!

The Metz fans, who were small in the stands, only 3,000, spoke when their voices were drowned out by the cheers of the Bayern Munich fans.

The only thing that gives them comfort is that the team has not conceded another goal so far, and the opponent is attacking so fiercely, but the score is still 0:1.

"As long as we can go back with this score, we will win! Back at home, I'm sure Metz will find a solution to Bayern! ”

"Ribery is still so active, but I'm conflicted...... I don't want him to leave......"

"Don't be stupid, he's doing so well at Bayern, why don't you leave?"

"If we had Ribery, we would have had at least two chances to counter-attack directly from the back! Now...... Pity! ”

Since the fans of Metz could not sing loudly, they gathered together to express their opinions.

They don't think it's okay to lose this game by this scoreline, but it doesn't mean that everyone on the pitch thinks so.

At the very least, Chu Zhongtian has been looking for every possible opportunity to counterattack. At the slightest opportunity, he will not hesitate to pass the ball, and the next thing is to see the ability to pick up his teammates.

It's just a pity that so far no chances have been created to score. In the second half, the Bayern backline could easily play poker. Lucio, the Brazilian centre-back, has provided assists from the back on several occasions, starting from his own penalty area with the ball alone, training several people, and then breaking through to the edge of the Metz penalty area and distributing the ball again. It's like the Metz players are air.
