Chapter 548: Leave a gift for the away fans
Although there are Dortmund fans here to support Chelsea, after all, it is different from last season's Champions League final, which was played at Dortmund's home stadium Westfalen, so Dortmund has a lot of fans, but this time the match is the second leg of the semi-final, played at the Allianz Arena.
Allianz Arena, that is Bayern's lair, the roars of nearly 70,000 people in the stands can be heard to death, and ordinary people are not able to play football with peace of mind, and it is estimated that they will be impetuous.
Of course, this is just for ordinary people, Chelsea's players are not ordinary people, they have experienced more than one devil's home stadium, so let alone 70,000 people, even if it is 100,000, it may not be able to make them shake.
This is the same as killer killing, the first time you may not be able to do anything, but the more times you do it, it doesn't matter, and it may even give birth to a pathological sense of excitement.
Maybe Chelsea is really a bit sick now, and when you see Bayern Munich fans on the streets, some of them are not afraid and panicked, but excited from the heart.
Especially Lin Yu, if there are too few fans on the other side, it may not be able to arouse his enthusiasm.
Of course, there is another reason that the old hatred that can never be abandoned!
That unforgettable hatred has been engraved in the bones of the Chelsea team, no matter how many players have been changed, it cannot be forgotten and will not be forgotten!
In order to get revenge, they must step over the body of Bayern Munich in order to meet Barcelonian in the final. Then come to a hearty duel and completely spill out the old nest of gas. And so as not to always be buried in my heart and feel uncomfortable.
Chelsea want to knock Bayern out of the country, but Bayern don't want to be embarrassed in front of those 70,000 fans. If you count the fans in front of the TV, that's probably even more than that.
And because of the 1-3 defeat away, Bayern Munich must now score early, and if they want to eliminate Chelsea, they must at least play a 2-0 game, and then rely on the advantage of away goals to advance to the final.
So from the very beginning, Bayern has been attacking, and they can't do anything about it, if they don't attack. The team is about to be eliminated.
On the other hand, Chelsea played calmly and orderly, Lin Yu was placed in the midfield position, becoming a qualified interceptor and organizer, although he really wanted to score, the team's victory is obviously more important than his own goals, anyway, he still has two more goals than Messi, even if he doesn't score in this game, it doesn't matter. It's still the top scorer list.
The whole Chelsea played very seriously and hard under his control, and Bayern's attack was completely blocked. This makes Guardiola very unhappy, but there is nothing that can be done, everyone knows that Mourinho likes to defend and counterattack. He likes to stand his ground first and then wait for an opportunity to attack. You ask him to play teams that don't attack, and he doesn't.
Before Lin Yu joined Chelsea. Chelsea have been unable to break through dense formations on many occasions, and have lost to teams that should not have lost, but rather strong teams with a more aggressive attack, and they are not afraid at all.
That's why some fans complained at that time that Chelsea was a typical shake M, a masochist, and they would not play until others attacked, otherwise they wouldn't know how to play.
Fortunately, Bayern Munich met today is an absolute powerhouse, and Bayern's style of play is also advocating attack! What's more, even if you don't attack, you can't do it, you will lose away from home, if you don't attack, then wait to be eliminated.
Bayern, who wanted to attack, met Chelsea, who were determined to defend, and both teams played their respective strengths.
But the scene looks lively, but there is nothing substantial, you must know that the football game has nothing but goals, nothing else is meaningful, if you don't score, then wait to lose, this is a football game.
Some media even said that this first half was simply a tacit ball, the two sides kicked back and forth, and even shook hands, and when the first half ended, it was all zero, and no one scored a single goal.
"The first half didn't look so ugly, the two sides attacked and defended each other, the game was very lively, and there were several shots on goal, even corners and free kicks, but such a wonderful scene, but the most substantial thing was missing, which was the goal! Perhaps because of Chelsea's desire to be safe, Bayern Munich's attack was fierce but meaningless. The Sky Sports commentator analysed the first half: "I was hoping for Chelsea to score something in the second half, as long as they score a goal, it will be very good and Bayern Munich will have almost no chance of a comeback." ”
"For fans who stay up late to watch the game, the excitement is indispensable, but at the same time, can you make some gains? I don't think anyone wants to get up late at night to watch a game only to see a zero-and-zero game, right? Zhan Jun sat in the live broadcast room, looking a little bored, although the game scene was very exciting, but there was no wonderful game with a goal, he really had no interest in appreciating it, he didn't like draws, draws were the most boring games.
The German commentator analyzed: "Obviously, Mourinho has played his shameless tactics again!" Of course, this is understandable, after all, his team won 3-1 at home to Bayern Munich, even if they don't score a goal away from home, as long as they can maintain this scoreline, then they can definitely advance, in that case, what reason does he have to attack? If you defend with all your might, you can still hold on to a place in the finals. ”
There is a strong taste of unwillingness in the commentator's words, although he knows that Mourinho's approach is normal, but he just can't get used to it, if it goes on like this, Bayern Munich, which he supports, will lose.
"Pep Guardiola is a famous manager, but on-the-spot command is not his forte, I wonder if he can come up with a solution to the current dilemma? If there is no goal, Bayern Munich will really be eliminated! ”
As the narrator said, Pep Guardiola watched the entire first half. I'm happy with the team's performance, but it's not a league. It's not the kind of game that you can give up at will, and Chelsea can choose to defend and counter-attack. But they can't, they have to do it!
He knew that the core of the problem was that Lin Yu had changed his position.
In the past, when Lin Yu played as a center forward, he always liked to attack, so his position was relatively forward, and he would often move to the offside position, and when his teammates wanted to pass the ball, he would suddenly run back to achieve the anti-offside trap.
And now Lin Yu is playing in the midfield. His main task is to defend, Guardiola was completely overshadowed by Mourinho's trick, and throughout the first half, he didn't even have a chance to adjust, after all, football is not a basketball game, and there is no right to call a timeout.
Pep Guardiola has defeated Mourinho many times, but he has also been overshadowed by Mourinho's strange tricks many times, and he prefers to attack in a regular manner than Mourinho. I came with the routine.
But now it can't be so much, the first half is over, and there are only 45 minutes left for them plus stoppage time, if they can't score yet. Then they are really going to be eliminated by Chelsea, which is something that no one wants to see.
Attack!
It's just such a simple word, in Guardiola's opinion. Bayern Munich now have no way out at all, except for more fierce attacks. Everything else is nonsense.
And Mourinho obviously had this in mind, and he also understood that Bayern Munich failed to score in the first half. The second half is going to be even crazier, and it's going to be a matter of willpower and consistency in the team's performance.
He told the players: "Listen, in the second half we faced Bayern Munich Munich who had no way back, they must have attacked like crazy, I don't want anyone to make a little mistake at the back, because one mistake can lead to our good situation becoming of course!" ”
"In order to avoid conceding the ball, Torres, you should also pay attention to pressing more in the front court, don't be stingy! You know? The same goes for the rest of the players, now is not the time to skimp on energy, the Champions League final is still far away, we have to win the game in front of us first. ”
Speaking of this, Mourinho looked at Lin Yu again and said: "You can make some forward pressure in the second half, you can't let Bayern Munich attack too fiercely, otherwise you will have to lose the ball sooner or later, only give them a little more pressure, they don't dare to completely press up!" ”
"I know, Coach!" Lin Yu understands that in the second half, it is also time for him to exert his strength, Bayern Munich may indeed attack like crazy, but he Lin Yu is also a player who is good at scoring goals in the second half, for him, nothing is impossible!
Mourinho's requirement for the team is not to concede goals, but Lin Yu has stricter requirements for himself, he feels that since he wants to ensure promotion, then instead of pinning his hopes on not conceding goals, it is better to simply score another goal and completely kill Bayern Munich, so that they even have a complete fighting spirit to play.
In the second leg of the quarterfinals against Roma, Lin Yu did just that, he let the players of Rome taste what it means to cry without tears, and what it means to be completely desperate!
"So, lads! With 45 minutes left and stoppage time, are you confident of taking out Bayern? ”
"Yes!"
"I didn't hear that!"
"There's-!"
"Well, that's what you want! After all, we are guests, and since we are guests, we have to give a wonderful performance to the more than 70,000 fans, and we can't let them buy tickets for nothing! ”
"Haha, that's right!"
Everyone was amused by Mourinho's words, and they wanted to give a gift when they were guests, but this gift may not be willing to be accepted by Bayern fans.
A loss, or a couple of goals, whatever it is, I'm sure they won't be happy.
At the beginning of the second half, as Mourinho expected, Bayern Munich's offensive became very fierce, almost at all costs, as if it didn't care whether Chelsea could fight back, because if they didn't score, they really had no hope, so even if they fought to the death, it was standing to death, which was much better than being in a nest and not being able to show the strength of the giants at their home stadium.
Despite the mental preparation, Chelsea are clearly still a little unable to withstand this kind of almost crazy attack, and feel that the defense is becoming more and more difficult.
Seeing this situation, the nearly 70,000 Bayern fans in the stadium shouted excitedly, cheering for their own team, and on the other hand, it was also a mockery of Chelsea, asking you to defend, in the face of Bayern's powerful attack, can you defend against it?
"Ribery broke through with the ball, Ivanovic didn't dare to kick easily, but Ribery suddenly flashed an angle and shot!"
"It's dangerous! The ball hit the middle of the goal and was taken out of the bottom line by Cech with one palm! ”
'Gotze took a corner, Van Bitten headed it in, the ball hit the ground, then bounced towards the goal, it was Cech again, he blocked the ball with his legs, and then it was cleared by Terry's big foot, but the ball fell to Bayern Munich's feet!
……
At the beginning of the second half, similar attacks abounded, so much so that even Lin Yu couldn't get out of the way to attack, but there was no trace of panic in his eyes, and he was assisting his teammates in defending while also thinking about how to change this disadvantage.
