1167 Blade Weakness and Demon Dragon Unleashed
Liverpool's attack in the 54th minute of the game almost crushed Louis van Gaal's pen.
Alonso launched an attack from the centre of the field and played a diagonal pass down the right flank to Kuyt.
Kuyt dribbled forward to the dangerous flank in front of the box before crossing the ball to Steven Gerrard.
Fernando Torres stepped forward into the box, while Kuyt cut inside.
Gerrard crosses diagonally from the edge of the penalty area on the right flank.
Kuyt receives Gerrard's pass and heads straight into the net after cutting inside!
Bout blocked the near corner of the net and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand in the face of Kuyt's header.
The reason why Van Gaal reacted violently was that Bayern Munich's defense was still pinned down by Qin Xiong.
Even if Qin Xiong still "disappeared" in this attack.
But as long as Qin Xiong is on the court, he will be extremely valued!
Koeman saw this and now began to shift Liverpool's attacking focus, while Qin Xiong mainly completed the strategy and containment work.
Bayern Munich are also aware of this, if they continue to attach great importance to Qin Xiong's existence, then it is very likely that the defense elsewhere will be blown up by Liverpool!
Gerrard + Torres + Kuyt, the three-man attacking group, isn't it enough to make Bayern Munich feel a lot of pressure? What's more, in the context of the defensive attention itself being restrained and distracted by Qin Xiong.
The players on the pitch don't have time to think about it, especially the attacking players in midfield.
For them, scoring goals is the number one priority.
Bayern Munich launched a threatening attack in the 60th minute of the game.
Schweinsteiger and Ribery combined with a pass on the left side of the pitch, and then under the interference of Gerrard, Schweinsteiger passed the ball to Olic in front of him.
Olic knocked the ball back to Thomas Muller, who played the ball to Robben.
Bayern Munich's best performer this season was Arjen Robben, who received a pass from Muller before cutting across the box. Defenders around Liverpool rushed to press him.
However, Skrtel and Aager were still focused on blocking Olic and Muller, but no one expected Ribery to cut diagonally into the box from the left and to the side close to Robben.
Arjen Robben tucked the ball straight into the box.
Ribery formed a one-shot ball!
Countless Bayern Munich are looking forward to staring at Scarface, hoping that he can turn this God-given opportunity into a goal!
Franck Ribery was diagonally facing the goal, he didn't shoot from a very good angle, and he wasn't a goalscorer. He struggled to control his footwork and finish the shot.
A volley blasted out!
After the shot, he looked up and saw the ball flying towards the goal with a heavy force, but the next second, Ribery lowered his head in disappointment.
The football flew into the arms of Reina!
"It's a shame that Ribery's shot was easily picked up by Reina, and in this case Ribery was only focused on power, and lacked angle, he seemed to shoot the ball directly into Reina's arms. Bayern Munich could create good chances in attack but were disappointing in their final shot. ”
It's not just the fans who are disappointed. And Van Gaal.
Bayern Munich have been a bit of a weak forward this season.
Among the forwards, whether it is Thomas Muller, Klose, Olich, or Gomez, their goals may add up to a good number, but the average goal per game rate is too low!
Before the game, Fleet Street made a statistic.
That is to add up the number of goals scored by Bayern Munich's strikers other than Robben. A result was obtained.
The total number of goals they have scored is 2 less than Qin Xiong's total goals in the Champions League + League in a single season!
Other words. Qin Xiong alone has scored more goals than Bayern Munich, except for the above four plus Ribery combined!
Robben is a winger, but Robben's goal rate this season has been very high, with a total of more than 20 goals.
But this is clearly problematic.
In other words, there is a huge imbalance in Bayern Munich's ability to take chances.
Although Qin Xiong in the Liverpool team is also the player with the highest scoring percentage, Torres has also scored 30 goals in the league + Champions League so far this season.
Bayern Munich's striker has scored about the same number of goals as Liverpool's midfielder Steven Gerrard.
The problem that plagues Bayern Munich is that they can only pin their hopes on Ronaldo himself. It's a bit difficult for Peter Pan to create and seize opportunities, and Robben occasionally performs magic, but that doesn't mean it can become a stable phenomenon.
Even Liverpool. Barcelona, Real Madrid, don't dare to say that they pin all their hopes on Qin Xiong, Messi, and Ronaldo, which will make them win, but it can't guarantee the highest winning rate.
Van Gaal felt helpless, he was missing a goal machine!
In the 67th minute of the game, the Liverpool midfielder broke the ball, Thomas Muller tried to turn around after receiving a pass from Schweinsteiger, and he was viciously pressed by Mascherano and lost the goal.
Muller, who knelt on the ground and complained to the referee, did not receive any response.
Liverpool are on the offensive again.
Mascherano passed the ball to Alonso, leaving the Liverpool commander in charge of organising the attack.
Alonso took stock of the situation and watched the six-way before delivering the ball to Kuyt's feet with precision.
At this moment, Bayern Munich's backfield defenders will see Liverpool attacking on the right side again, instead of Qin Xiong's left side.
They were afraid that Liverpool would break through the defence again, so they began to shift their focus and adjust to a balanced defence.
Van Bommel moved to the middle of the box.
Van Bitten and Demichelis were in the middle, while Lahm and Bad Stuber were also decently close to the edge of the box.
As Kuyt dribbled forward to advance the attack, Gerrard was also rushing forward down the middle, and Gerrard would also be watching his opponent's defensive changes.
When he noticed the changes in Bayern Munich's defence, there were some changes in his trajectory along the middle.
He leaned slightly to the right.
Fernando Torres up front also observed Bayern Munich's defensive adjustments, as he was originally in the middle and began to lean towards the right.
It looks like Gerrard and Torres are on the side close to Kuyt.
Trying to play a triangle attack.
Bayern Munich's back line naturally began to lean towards this side.
But in the process of adjustment, not everyone is in sync.
Then, there will be a vacancy.
Qin Xiong is also running, and this time, he is still running on the in-cutting line.
But the space in front of his eyes was constantly expanding.
He knew in his heart that his team-mates were creating better attacking opportunities for him, and that would require Bayern Munich to change first, and then Liverpool to adjust accordingly.
At this moment, the situation that Liverpool really wanted in the second half finally appeared!
Qin Xiong was released! (To be continued.) )
