Chapter 433: The dazzling Han Niang.
Although Thiago is a midfielder, he is also a midfielder who can attack and defend at the same time, and he originally wanted to insert an assist in Bayern Munich's attack. But when he saw Tony Cross thrust forward in front of him, he hesitated and didn't step forward.
Because once he goes up, the team will not have a back and the middle will be very crowded, so he will stay at the back.
And it was at this time that he saw that Medessatt's clearance ball was passed by Ozil to Li Zihan, and Li Zihan rushed forward with the ball on the wing.
Thiago feels that his opportunity has come, and if he defends Li Zihan's counterattack, then he will definitely add a lot of points in this game.
Although favored by his mentor Pep Guardiola, Thiago is not highly regarded at Bayern. With big guy Schweinsteiger and powerful midfielder Javi Martinez, he's more of a rotation. And due to Guardiola's single-back tactics, there is an obvious surplus of four backs, and Guardiola can only sell Brazilian Guztavo.
The Brazilian midfielder was still very good at Bayern last season, and as a full-time defensive midfielder, he was one of the key contributors to Bayern Munich's treble last season.
But because there are so many people in this position, Guardiola wants to bring in his own disciples, and he has to sell Guztavo, which is relatively not in line with his requirements.
Therefore, Bayern Munich's players believe that the arrival of Thiago forced their former teammates to leave, and Guztavo did not help less in defense last season, so backfield players like Neuer and Boateng still have a good impression of Guztavo. And Dante, a central defender who is also a fellow Brazilian countryman, is a very good friend of Guztavo, so these people naturally have no good face for Thiago.
Although it will not turn his face or break out conflicts and contradictions, it is still okay to put a stinky face on him
Therefore, Thiago very much hopes to prove himself in the team, only to prove that he is better than Guztawo and can help the team more than the other party, then naturally everyone's impression of himself will change.
Strength is also respected on the football field, and if you have strong strength, you can win the respect of your teammates and opponents, and Messi and Ronaldo may be an exception.
Looking at Li Zihan who rushed to the backcourt with the ball, Thiago's eyes lit up.
As long as I defend his counterattack, then it won't be long before I will be promoted and raised, win the respect of my teammates, play a role, sit firmly at the core, win Bai Fumei, and walk to the peak of my life!
It's a little exciting to think about.
Thiago clenched his fists and rushed towards Li Zihan, who was dribbling the ball.
Although Li Zihan was immersed in dribbling the ball, his afterglow kept paying attention to the shape of the surrounding scene.
Li Zihan is also known for his wide vision, and he can often find many things that other players can't find on the field, which is why Conte recruited him into the Juventus training base in the first place.
So he soon spotted Thiago coming for him, but he didn't look up and observe, still keeping his head down on the ball, but he deliberately slowed it down a little.
Thiago quickly came from the middle to the side, and was diagonally in front of Li Zihan. He pays attention to the movement of the opponent's feet, and is ready to reach out to block the ball or block people.
Originally, Thiago wanted to come directly to a flying tackle, and he was sure that the ball would be shoveled out of bounds to buy time for his team-mates to return. But after seeing that Li Zihan took the initiative to slow down, he put aside this idea.
Anyway, it's all about delaying time, and since he knows him so well, why should I tackle the ball, maybe I have to tackle someone and foul someone.
Thiago doesn't care, he cares about which foul
Li Zihan slowed down and was waiting for Bayern Munich's defenders? He's not that stupid, he's just waiting for Thiago to come up.
Seeing Thiago slow down not far in front of him, pressing to put on a defensive posture, Li Zihan immediately made a move.
He got up with his feet, but instead of passing the ball to centre-forward Giroud in the middle, he picked it up. The ball flew over Thiago's head, and Thiago was stunned for a moment, trying to jump to knock the ball down, but his legs were not ready to exert their strength.
This pick was obviously unexpected by Thiago, because after seeing the opponent slow down, Thiago thought that Li Zihan would use a sudden acceleration to get rid of him again. Li Zihan has this characteristic, and his dribbling skills and fast and flexible breakthroughs at his feet make him often try this trick again and again.
So Thiago pressed his waist and stabilized his center of gravity to defend the ball at the opponent's feet, but he didn't expect him to be so crisp with a high jump.
Thiago, who landed again, reacted immediately, and since the ball could not be snatched, he left people behind and used tactical fouls.
But when he stretched out his hand, Li Zihan had already accelerated from his side and rushed over without the ball, and he was empty.
Soon, Li Zihan regained the ball behind Thiago, and did not give the opponent a chance to turn and chase back, and immediately continued to advance with the ball.
Seeing that the full-backs and midfielders were unreliable, Boateng felt that he still had to rely on himself.
Boateng left his position in the middle and went to the wing to intercept. Although Giroud is also very dangerous in the middle, he is obviously far behind Li Zihan with the ball, even if Li Zihan does not have the ball at his feet, he is his first choice for defense.
Li Zihan saw Boateng coming over and made a feint to cut inside and look for an opportunity. Boateng immediately got into position and tried to push him to the touchline.
After all, once he enters the middle of the inner line, Li Zihan, who takes the ball, can directly face the goal, and for his shooting skills, several defensive bigwigs of Bayern Munich have been famous for a long time, but they dare not be careless. But it's different on the flanks, because they can't directly threaten their goal.
But Li Zihan's inward cut was just a feint, and after Boateng was fooled, he immediately dunked the ball back with his right foot, flicked his left foot, and accelerated past Boateng's side.
Li Zihan's goal has always been the sideline
Li !! Well done, continuous acceleration pauses to get rid of, against a giant like Bayern Munich, his dribble breakthrough is very threatening, and at the same time it has proved his ability even more. ”
"The ball that Thiago just picked was so beautiful, and Thiago, who is also one of the geniuses of the younger generation, was sluggish in front of Lee like a rusty old machine. watched the other party pass themselves. ”
"Boateng was deceived by Lee again, and Lee scored that goal with a very deceptive Marseille sleuver, and now it's like this again"
Although Boateng completely exploded Li physically, the smart Li did not have any physical foundation with him, and did not give the other party a chance to stick up. gave full play to his fast and flexible characteristics, and Boateng, who is a little more than 1.9 meters tall, obviously can't keep up with the action!! ”
Seeing that he had been deceived again, Boateng did not have time to be annoyed, but quickly turned around and followed. has been stuck in the position of the inner line, as long as Li Zihan has the idea of cutting inside, he will immediately stretch out his long legs.
Li Zihan was half a body ahead of Boateng, and the ball had already come to the rib position parallel to the penalty line and the sideline. Just as he wanted to cut in, he was tripped by Boateng's long legs.
"Foul !!"
Li Zihan's body fell to the ground, and it seemed that Boateng blocked the opponent with a very successful tactical foul.
When Li Zihan was about to stick to the grass, he suddenly stretched out his hand to support the grass. The body bounced off the ground quickly, and a series of movements were beyond everyone's expectations.
Then he staggered forward almost bent over against the grass, and his body was also in the middle of falling to the ground and not falling
"Lee, he's very tenacious. Clearly unwilling to accept a foul set-piece and a yellow card. ”
The referee's whistle was in his mouth, hesitated for a moment, but did not blow, and soon raised his hands to signal that the attack was strong and the game continued.
And Li Zihan also miraculously stumbled a few steps before finding the center of gravity and standing up from the ground, and accelerated past Boateng with a ball.
Boateng, who was half-kneeling on the ground, didn't care about the step that had just tripped the other party, which was too big and hit the egg. Immediately stand up and continue to chase back.
Li Zihan !! It was so beautiful that Boateng's foul couldn't stop him either, and apparently he shook off the German centre-back. ”
Just when Li Zihan was about to reach the sideline, he suddenly stopped the ball with a kick. Boateng, who was trying to chase back, couldn't stop at all, and rushed directly to the bottom line due to physical inertia, but fortunately he stopped on the bottom line instead of hitting his head on the billboard.
But for Li Zihan, this is enough.
Giroud immediately stepped forward and was ready to jump up to meet Li Zihan's sideline cross, but Dante didn't dare to be careless and followed him all the time.
Li Zihan also didn't cut inside by himself, leaning over and preparing to pass the ball when Boateng hadn't come back yet.
Dante knew it was a high ball as soon as he looked at the opponent's posture, and it was a perfect fit to have Giroud in the box.
And Giroud had already rushed forward when Li Zihan was out of position, and ran directly to the near corner of the goal in the small penalty area.
And at this time, Li Zihan's pass also came out, but it was not a lot of imaginary high balls, but a boccia ball.
When Li Zihan was leaning around, he saw that his right foot was about to come to a high ball cross with the instep of his foot. But when his foot touched the ball, he poked it out with his toes.
The ball rolled towards the middle of the penalty area at a high speed, and Boateng tried hard to spread his long legs, trying to stop the ball, but his movements were still a little slower.
It's just that Li Zihan, who finished passing the ball, heard a "tearing" sound, but he didn't pay attention, but looked at the middle of the penalty area with all his attention.
