Chapter 189: Falcao with two goals
Thomas Müller is an orthodox Bayern Munich player, he was born in Wilhelm, 40 kilometres outside of Munich, and he is also a model of German players who rose to fame at a young age. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Is it conceivable?
At just 4 years old, while his peers were still playing, Thomas Müller began his football career as a member of the Parr club in Wilhelm.
After seven years of training at Parr, Müller joined FC Bayern Munich's academy and scored 18 goals in 26 appearances in the German Bundesliga A in 2007, helping them to a runners-up finish in the Under-19 Bundesliga.
During his eight years at Bayern's academy, Muller completed secondary school in addition to his daily training sessions, and he had to travel by train to and from the school and the training ground every week.
On 15 August 2008, Bayern Munich made his senior debut in the final 10 minutes of Bayern Munich's Bundesliga match against Hamburg in place of Miroslav Klose.
In the summer of 2009, Muller was promoted to Bayern's first team and became a regular member of the first team.
From the beginning, Muller was positioned as Bayern's fifth striker after Klose, Gomez, Toney and Olich, but with his outstanding performance, Muller quickly achieved his position, and also attracted the attention of many German football legends such as Gerd Muller, and now Muller has become a recognized forward talent all over the world, and is also regarded as the pinnacle of Bayern Munich's forward line in the next decade.
Thomas Müller's best performance was not at FC Bayern Munich, but in the German national team, where he was also selected for the German national team at the same time as he officially entered the first team of Bayern Munich.
The 2010 World Cup in South Africa was Muller's battle for fame.
In the first round of Group D, Muller scored a goal and provided an assist for Germany, and then scored twice in the quarter-final against England to help Germany beat England 4-1.
In the quarter-finals of the World Cup, Germany beat Argentina 4-0, and in the third minute, Muller scored his fourth goal in the World Cup.
Germany failed to reach the final, beating Uruguay 3-2 to finish third in the World Cup, while Muller added another goal to score his fifth goal and three assists to win the World Cup Golden Boot and Rookie of the Year, becoming the youngest player in history.
With such a performance in the German national team, Muller has naturally become the No. 1 striker of the national team, and more importantly, Muller is only 22 years old so far, German players have always been relatively late in becoming famous, and many of his peers are still in the youth team, but Muller has become the World Cup Golden Boot, and it is conceivable how many German fans will support Muller.
When Muller came on, the Bayern Munich fans let out a huge cheer, hoping that Muller would be on the field to help Bayern Munich score.
After Thomas Muller's appearance, it was of course impossible for Bayern Munich to change the scoreline for a short time, and two minutes later, taking advantage of a dead goal, Atletico Madrid also made a substitution - Raul Garcia replaced Kevin De Bruyne.
In this regard, the stadium broadcast Belbart commented, "Bayern replaced Muller in the hope that Muller could help the team score, and Atletico Madrid's substitution is obviously to strengthen the midfield." ”
After two months, Atletico Madrid fans have learned about several new players in the team, Kevin De Bruyne's ability is good, he can be said to be Belgium's 'David Beckham', in terms of personal ability, he is indeed very similar to Beckham, but he is not the kind of pure midfielder, in the defense and support of the middle, he is not very good, in the 433 formation, maybe he should play Falcao's 'right forward' position.
Raul Garcia is different, he is a pure midfielder, he is very tough defensively, and as the old man of the team, he and his team-mates are not to say much.
This substitution adjustment is still easy to interpret, and whether it has a role depends on the game.
After Muller's appearance, Bayern Munich want to continue to strengthen the offensive to break through the door of Atletico Madrid in one fell swoop, they want to get points, they must first score, and there is no point in saying anything else, so they have no choice.
But the Atletico Madrid players know it - it's time to counterattack!
――――
Bayern Munich have been attacking for quite some time, and this is enough time for Atletico Madrid to adapt to their attack, and when it comes to attacking ability, Atletico Madrid believes that they are not losing to their opponents.
The reason why Bayern Munich can maintain continuous suppression, more importantly, Bayern Munich is the lagging side, they have a heart to dare to fight, Atletico Madrid does not have to fight so hard, they are already ahead, and Bayern Munich fight is worth the loss, so it is more important to defend solidly before.
But no team can attack the whole game all the time, as Atletico Madrid did in the first 20 minutes of the first half, and they have to slow down the tempo and make some adjustments to ensure that all the players are in shape and playing.
The same goes for Bayern Munich.
Despite their constant search for attacking press, with the exception of Thomas Muller, who had just come on, the players were a little out of shape and energy, and their tempo would have slowed down if it weren't for their desperate desire to score.
Atletico Madrid is trying to push back and force them to slow down.
On the field, Thomas Muller got the ball.
Heynckes has high hopes for Muller, in the case of Gomez's poor performance, he can only hope that Muller can be better, in fact, he doesn't like to put pressure on a young player, Muller won the 'World Cup Golden Boot' last year, but after all, he is only 22 years old, in the eyes of many people, Muller's age is too young, and in another 2 or 3 years, he will really grow into a 'big general', but now Bayern Munich can only rely on young Muller.
Thomas Muller got the ball and met Raphael Varane.
Earlier on the bench, Muller had noticed Varane, a young player four years younger than him, but he managed to freeze Gomez, which must not be underestimated.
Muller glanced left and right and saw that his team-mates were not in a good position, so he chose to break through Varane's point anyway, and like Gomez, he had a chance to face the goal as long as he broke through Varane.
But Mueller also failed!
When the two were about to touch each other, Muller twisted to the left and raised his left foot, as if he wanted to pass the ball out, but Varane was not fooled, now Varane's personal ability has increased a lot, he is already an excellent central defender, it is difficult to deceive him with ordinary actions, and he is not moved at all when he sees Muller's movements.
Varane was not fooled, and Muller rushed to protect the ball, he was much more cautious than Gomez.
But at this time, Varane suddenly stretched out his right foot, Muller didn't expect the opponent to take the initiative to stretch his foot, he couldn't react, and the football under his feet was hit by Varane's toes.
The ball rolls behind you.
Raul Garcia, who had just come out, grabbed the ball, and when the football was at his feet, Garcia was even a little stunned, he didn't expect to receive the ball just after he came out.
But he reacted immediately - isn't this the best chance to fight back!
Raul Garcia doesn't hesitate anymore!
He gave the ball directly to Morris in front of the left, Morris was in the middle, and in defence, he focused on the front end of the penalty area, and when he saw Raul Garcia get the ball, he immediately ran forward.
The two have a tacit understanding!
When Morris received the pass, he was facing away from the attack, and there were Bayern Munich players behind him, and Schweinsteiger was also on his side.
Morris handed the ball to Mario Suarez on the side and continued to sprint.
Schweinsteiger, who was next to him, didn't turn to defend Mario Suarez, because he knew that it didn't make sense, so he ran with Morris.
But when the two rushed together, Schweinsteiger found the gap!
Maurice is 34 years old!
A 34-year-old player, logically speaking, should have an all-round decline in physical fitness, not to mention explosiveness, but the two of them rushed forward from the same starting point, and in a few steps, he pulled down two or three positions with the other party!
How is this possible!
Schweinsteiger was so surprised that he kept rushing forward, only to find himself getting farther and farther away from Maurice.
"No wonder he won the Golden Globe......" Schweinsteiger smiled wryly.
Meanwhile, Mario Suarez also played the ball to Mesut Ozil on the wing.
Ozil was quite fast.
When he received the ball, he launched a counter-attack on behalf of Atletico Madrid.
――――
In the eyes of the Bayern Munich players, Atletico Madrid's counter-attack was no different from before, and the opponent had several counter-attacks before, but none of them could threaten.
This time won't be an exception!
In this mentality, Robben and Ribery on the two wings of the front court, and even forward Thomas Muller, did not rush back to the defense, but waited in the front court, hoping that their teammates in the back court could stop and pass the ball back.
Thomas Muller doesn't have much to do on defense, so it's no surprise that he has that mentality.
Robben and Ribery are different.
As fullbacks, the two must have defensive tasks, but now, Bayern Munich has been attacking for so long, and their physical fitness and energy are a little unable to keep up.
This thought is just to comfort yourself.
Arjen Robben and Ribery thought so, and the other Bayern Munich players were no better, thinking about how to break down the Atletico Madrid goal rather than how to deal with the Atletico Madrid counter-attack.
Soon they knew they were wrong!
Under the 'B-TF' tactical system, Atletico Madrid's counterattacks are pressed across the board, and even the two fullbacks and central defenders have moved forward in a big way, regardless of the position of Bayern Munich's frontcourt players.
By the time Ozil dribbled the ball to the bottom line, left-back Filipe Kasmirski had already followed, while Bayern Munich's right-back Franck Ribery had just run past the halfway line.
Watching Atletico Madrid's counterattack, Ribery already sensed the crisis.
Ribery has played for Derby County before, which is where he became famous, he is very impressed with Wan Sheng, he clearly knows Wan Sheng's ability to lead the team and some of Wan Sheng's tactical ideas, although many years have passed, but in fact, Atletico Madrid's style of play still has the shadow of Derby County's tactics.
A wave of counterattacks, pressed on the whole line!
The current Atletico Madrid, in terms of attack, is much tougher than Derby County back then.
That's it, Ribery knew that the team was a threat, in the years at Bayern Munich, he was a little used to running, and he forgot a little bit about the feeling of running all over the field in Derby, maybe some teammates thought that Atletico Madrid players kept running back and forth, which was almost a waste of energy, but because of this, Derby County was able to win the Premier League title that year.
What now?
Will this wave be a 'waste of energy'?
Ribery ran backwards and couldn't help but look to the sidelines, where the familiar figure stood as if he felt the gaze, and Wan Sheng also looked at it.
The two looked at each other.
Wan Sheng smiled and nodded at Ribery, who was out of breath and had no expression.
At the same time, Filipe Kasmirski also received the ball, and he passed it across to Mario Suarez, who followed, and Suarez passed it to Raul Garcia.
Atletico Madrid's continuous crosses made Bayern Munich unable to make a key defense at all.
This is a classic counter-attacking routine in Atletico Madrid's daily training.
When many teams counterattack, the emphasis is on speed, but Atletico Madrid is different, their speed is already fast, and there is no need to emphasize too much, but the efficiency of the counterattack needs to be paid attention to.
How can I increase the effectiveness of my counterattack?
That is to make the counter-attack more tactical, and in the counter-attack of the whole line, Atletico Madrid can easily take advantage of the number of players, they pass the ball horizontally in a row, delay some time, and at the same time make the opponent's defense useless.
That's how it is now.
In the face of Atletico Madrid's counterattack, Bayern Munich quickly organized the defense, but the defense they built was on the left side, and Atletico Madrid used continuous crosses to send the ball to the right.
The player's movement certainly can't keep up with the ball.
By the time the football got to Raul Garcia, Bayern Munich had no hands to defend him.
Raul Garcia was facing the goal, Bayern Munich centre-back Bad Stuber was still in the middle, but Raul Garcia did not choose to burst into the box himself, but handed the ball to the right side of the box.
There, Falcao followed!
――――
"Falco—!!"
Calderón Stadium broadcast Belbart shouted, "This is a good opportunity!" Falcao! ”
All eyes were on Falcao as he was rushing towards football, because he was unguarded, and the next scene could be imagined.
"Falcao has a great chance!"
Without the narrator's reminder, Falcao had already run into position, and he picked up his right foot without hesitation--
Volley hard!
The soccer ball roared into the far corner of the goal!
After finishing the shot, Falcao stared at the football, his face fierce, as if staring at a life-and-death enemy.
"Falcao—"
"-Shoot!!"
With Belbart's roar, the ball hit the left-hand post straight and bounced into the net.
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer flew to save, but Falcao's shot was too powerful and the ball was too fast for him to keep up.
The next moment, Calderón Stadium erupted!
The sound of the tsunami of Atletico Madrid fans plunged the stadium into unprecedented heat, and Atletico Madrid's second goal, which can also be said to be the goal that sealed the victory, completely mobilized the enthusiasm of the fans.
The German media and fans were dumbfounded.
In the eyes of many German media and fans, Atletico Madrid participated in the Champions League for the first time in more than ten years, even if they played well in La Liga last season, but just like Werder Bremen, Stuttgart, Schalke 04 and other teams that can 'occasionally' win the league, they can't go to the Champions League.
Bayern Munich is a different story.
Bayern Munich is a traditional European giant, even if the domestic league results are not good, rich game experience has made them like a fish in water in European competition.
Therefore, for the four teams in Group A, Bayern Munich is the most likely to qualify, followed by Manchester City and Atletico Madrid, who are the 'new tenders in the Champions League'.
Then, it seems that this is not the case......
The German media are full of expectations for the game at the Calderon Stadium, hoping that Bayern Munich can get off to a good start in the Champions League, but so far, Atletico Madrid has scored two goals and Bayern Munich has not scored one.
Two goals behind!
The German media and fans were a little unacceptable.
Atletico Madrid fans didn't care what their opponents thought, they desperately shouted to send blessings to the team's goal!
――――
Falcao stood on the playing field in a bit of a daze.
When he finished the shot, his mind went blank, and the only thing he wanted to think about was to kick the ball in, but after finishing the goal, he suddenly felt a little confused.
"I scored another goal?"
"Against Bayern Munich, I scored two goals?"
After two or three seconds of his brain stopping, Falcao finally reacted to the cheers of the whole team, jumping to his feet, raising his arms and shouting, and then roaring wildly.
Before his teammates could catch up, Falcao ran straight to the sidelines, and he made a move that stunned the fans - jumping forward hard and sliding directly to his knees on the grass.
This action ...... It's very difficult!
Wan Sheng was a little dumbfounded, he was afraid that Falcao would be injured as soon as he celebrated like this.
Other teammates also rushed over, and many gave Falcao a thumbs up for his celebratory gesture.
“…… Terrible!! ”
"The action is so handsome!"
"You're not hurt! Scared the hell out of me! ”
Falcao smiled excitedly and hugged every teammate who came by, knowing that this moment belonged to him. (To be continued.) )
