Chapter 390: Magat's Confidence
readx;
After such a long period of tentative contact, the Bayern players have a little understanding of Chelsea and have confidence in their hearts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 As a result, in the 17th minute of the game, they couldn't help but launch the first wave of big attacks.
The attack was led by England midfielder Owen on the wing. Hargreaves initiated.
Hargreaves, 24, born in Canada to a Welsh father and an Irish mother, never lived in England or played for an English club, but he joined the England squad and was named in England's 23-man squad for the 2002 World Cup, when he was the only player not to play in the Premier League.
The midfielder who can enter the England squad should not be underestimated, and after receiving a pass from the back, Hargreaves suddenly shook off Alkin who was following him. Robben, this time the sudden start of the surname was very fast, and the Dutch kid was directly thrown away by him by as much as 2 meters.
After that, Hargreaves stepped forward about 10 meters with a big foot, and under the bag of two defenders, he passed the ball to the middle with another precise kick.
There's Barak!
Ballack is a late bloomer, having been questioned by fans since joining Bayern Munich in 2002 at the age of 26, and it is only now that he has been recognized by the club and the fans.
After so many years of hard work, Ballack brings an incomparable wealth of experience and fierce temperament. Roberto made a one-two, and directly shook off the clingy Frank. Frank Lampard, facing Ricciardo. Carvalho's interception, he suddenly started and forcibly used 190's tall body to rush and pass people!
He succeeded, and Carvalho was helplessly left behind by him.
After dribbling the ball from the left to the bottom line, Ballack turned around to stop the ball, changed direction with a big foot, shook off Carvalho who wanted to steal again, and found space to pass the ball to the middle.
There weren't many people in the Chelsea penalty area, so Salihamidzic got his chance when he jumped up and swung his head on goal, but the ball was punched out by goalkeeper Thomas. At this point, the penalty area was chaotic and the defenders were extremely careful, and finally the ball was kicked out of the box by Terry, but it was at the feet of Ballack again.
Ballack did not hesitate to meet the ball and hit the goal with his legs and feet!
Football is played on defender William. Gallas's body, changed direction and bounced towards the left corner of the goal!
At the critical moment, goalkeeper Thomas. Clarke fished it with his hands, and the ball grazed the post and flew out of the bottom line, bringing Bayern's sudden attack to an end.
"Michael. Barack!!! ”
"Barack!! Barack!! Barack!! ”
The 29-year-old German man showed his strength as a result of the attack, which had just ended, and the Bayern fans in the audience were shouting his name excitedly.
Although it is a bit of a pity that the goal did not go in, Bayern fans believe that in this situation, Bayern will soon be on the scoresheet.
In the Bayern coach's box, coach Felix. Magath was also very satisfied with this attack, in his eyes there was more than one Ballack, and Owen who launched the attack. Hargreaves was also impressive, and without him leading the attack, Ballack would not have had a chance to perform.
Although Magath only took charge of Bayern's coaching at the beginning of the season, he now knows the team well up and down, if you use an analogy, Ballack is a general who charges on the football field, more than brave, but the overall picture is slightly insufficient.
At this point, Hargreaves is a bit stronger, and the youngster is only 24 years old this year, although his personal ability needs to be improved, but there is still a lot of room for development.
Thinking of this, Magath couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Chelsea player in the black jersey on the pitch - Frank. Frank Lampard.
Prior to his arrival at Chelsea, Frank Lampard had been the team's commander, and as a midfielder he lacked individual qualities, but his unusually good big-picture vision, superior defensive ability and precise passing allowed him to thrive in the midfield position, and as a midfielder, he was still the initiator of the team's attack.
And now Bayern Munich, what is lacking is such a player.
Ballack, Hargreaves, Frings and others are all unsuitable to be the core of the team, they rely more on individual ability and fighting spirit in the game, in this case, Magath only uses team tactics to forcibly pinch them together and make the team as a whole.
This is always the case in German football, where teams often win by hearty scores when they encounter weaker opponents than themselves, but when they encounter stronger teams, they often become powerless and can only surrender.
That's what happens when there's no team commander, and Magath knows that the football atmosphere in Germany simply doesn't produce that kind of talent.
But for this game, after watching the attack just now, Magath felt that victory was not a big problem.
Now, the team has completed the tentative stage, after the players understand the opponent, as long as the team is really running, both offensive and defensive will be very motivated, a machine can always play more powerful than a single part, and in Magath's eyes, Chelsea rely more on the individual ability of a few players, but not Bayern's opponent.
As Magath pondered, the game went on.
In the 24th minute, Bayern Munich launched another wave of attacks. Robert and the two set off a speed storm on the wing, accurate passing, fast diving dribbling, so that the football quickly reached the bottom line, after that, Ballack turned to the big penalty area, and Ze. Robert brings the ball to the baseline and crosses with his feet.
Ballack, who had just entered the penalty area, happened to run to the landing point of the ball, and his height of 190cm gave him an innate advantage in the penalty area.
This time the header was very powerful, but the angle was not tricky, goalkeeper Thomas easily punched the ball out, but the ball fell to the feet of the Bayern players.
Guerreiro got the ball, and the 20-year-old striker, who was a substitute for Bayern Munich and made just 10 appearances in his entire season, was questionable.
This time, Guerrero was probably too excited to participate in the semi-finals of the Champions Cup, he chose a long-range shot directly from 25 meters away from the goal, and the ball was hit with no power at all. Terry kicked back.
The ball fell near the left-hand halfway.
Wang Li was in the middle circle, but his position was a little far away from the point where the ball landed, but when he had the opportunity, he still ran towards the ball.
Bayern Munich's centre-back R. Kovac jumped up to stop the ball with his chest, and after taking a step forward, he was about to pass forward to Frijns.
"Be careful!"
Behind Kovac, teammate Lucio shouted, Kovac only saw a black shadow pasted over, and then the ball at his feet disappeared, his right foot did not kick the ball, his body was under his habitual surname, and he fell directly on the grass, and when he grinned and supported his body from the grass with his left hand, he noticed that it was the opponent's No. 21 player who snatched his ball, but at this time, he was already more than 5 meters behind, and it was too late to stand up and chase back.
After Wang Li grabbed the ball, Lucio clung to him.
Lucio, who is 1.88 meters tall, has excellent physical fitness, whether it is bounce, explosiveness or speed, etc., it is extremely amazing, even the striker players are difficult to compare with him in terms of physical fitness, and Lucio, who has both European tactical literacy and South American talent, makes full use of his physical advantages, and can always look at the opponent's arrow figure to death in the game, and from time to time there will be a shocking work.
As one of the members of the 2002 Brazil World Cup winners, Lucio himself is the anchor of Bayern Munich's backfield, and his ability is not exaggerated if he is the strongest central defender in the Bundesliga.
When Wang Li was stuck by Lucio, he wanted to use speed to shake off but couldn't, and the back and forth shaking seemed to be ineffective for the big man next to him, when he had no choice but to use a forced change to a strong burst, Bayern's other two defenders Sagnor and Lizarazu also surrounded them, the three of them were in front of a circle, in the absence of any gap, Wang Li could only stop the ball, and then handed the ball to his teammates with a kick back.
Behind him was Joe. Cole.
But at this time, he still had Hargreaves who was running back to defend, and when Wang Li passed the ball, Hargreaves reacted and immediately stepped forward to steal. Cole received the ball in a hurry, stopped a little, and was directly snatched back by the opponent.
Taking advantage of this counter-attack, the Bayern players reacted and immediately continued to attack.
At this time, the Chelsea backfield was a little chaotic, just the ball was at the feet of Wang Li, many people desperately ran forward to find opportunities, but in the blink of an eye, the ball was at the feet of Bayern again, and they wanted to regain their position to defend but it was too late, and the football passed at the feet of Bayern players several times, and it reached the feet of striker Guerrero.
Guerrero had already missed a shot just now, and in his frustration, this time he was very steady, and after dodging Terry's hook with the ball, he kicked it to Salihamidzic who was running in a good position next to him.
The modest Salihamidzic is a nightmare for any opponent's left-back, and Bayern fans affectionately nicknamed him "Angel Wings", and even Cruyff said: "Hassan is one of the best strikers in the world".
As Bosnia and Herzegovina's first striker, Salihamidzic had an excellent shot on goal, and after receiving a pass from Guerrero, he instantly started to shake off Carvalho next to him, and then volleyed the ball straight into the corner of the goal.
In the face of this close-range shot, Thomas was also powerless.
Referee Temenk blew the whistle to make it 1:0, and Bayern scored the first goal.
