Chapter 166: War in the Age of Peace

In addition to the media in Munich, the media in other regions were also frightened by Bayern Munich's terrifying performance, and they all thought that in Bayern Munich's state, even if Dortmund has been chasing after them, it is very likely that they can only see the opponent win the championship by two points in the end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhou Yi said very well, do your best, but if Bayern Munich does not make mistakes, it makes no sense for Dortmund to do well.

Some media believe that with Bayern Munich's current state, when Dortmund and Bayern Munich have a direct dialogue, even if Dortmund has the advantage of home stadium, it may be difficult to stop Bayern Munich. And as long as Bayern Munich can draw with Dortmund away from home, it can be considered a victory.

For a while, the whole of Germany, except for Dortmund, people everywhere else thought that there was no suspense about this season's league championship - if Bayern Munich couldn't win the championship in the end, it would be too unreasonable!

So what did the Dortmund media report on Bayern Munich's performance?

Of course, they don't make a big deal about Bayern Munich's terrifying strength, what they do is "pick thorns" - even if you Bayern Munich performs well, it's not perfect, there are shortcomings, even if it's a little shortcoming, we have to pick it out for you and then amplify it.

First of all, they think that Bayern Munich's performance is not flawless, of course, there are dry goods to say so, if they just say "Bayern Munich still has problems", it is equivalent to saying nothing, can only be despised.

The Dortmund media really came up with dry goods.

With almost the whole of Germany applauding Bayern Munich's excellent form, the Dortmund media calmly pointed out Bayern Munich's problem - their poor corner defence.

In fact, Bayern Munich's defense this season has been very good, and they have only conceded a total of 13 goals in 27 league games.

Not only were they the best in the Bundesliga, but they were even the best in Europe – and they conceded the fewest goals in Europe at the same time.

In La Liga, the team that conceded the fewest goals in 27 league games was Atletico Madrid, who also conceded 24 goals, and this is the result of their possession of Sun Pan.

In Serie A, the team that conceded the fewest goals after 27 rounds was Bayern Munich's next opponent in the Champions League quarter-finals, Juventus, who conceded 18 goals after 27 games.

At the end of the 27th round of the Premier League, it was Manchester City, who were second in the second place at the time, who also conceded 24 goals.

The leaders conceded the fewest goals after 27 league games in Ligue 1, conceding seventeen goals.

This is the case in the top five leagues, with Ligue 1 having conceded the fewest goals except Bayern Munich, both conceding seventeen goals. As soon as the peers set off this, it can highlight Bayern Munich's excellent performance in defense.

In other leagues, the team that has conceded the fewest goals in the Portuguese Super League is currently Porto, who have conceded just eleven goals, fewer than Bayern Munich. But considering that the Portuguese Super League has only 30 rounds in total and has only played 24 rounds so far, Porto have conceded eleven goals in 24 rounds, three fewer than Bayern Munich. And how many goals did Bayern Munich concede in the 24 league games?

Eight, single digits!

So, if you have to pick a bone in Bayern Munich's eggs, blaming the defense seems to be the most unwise.

But the Dortmund media is talking about defense.

It's just that they added a qualifier - defense in corners.

And if you take a closer look at their analysis, there is some truth in what they say.

In the 9-2 slaughter of Hamburg, Bayern Munich scored nine goals but conceded two, and how were these two goals conceded?

It's all from corners.

Hamburg, who were suppressed throughout the game, had only 10 shots on goal, only three of which were in the woodwork. On the other hand, Bayern Munich, just shot in the range of the goal frame as many as 22 times, only 5 shots missed, 27 to 10, the huge gap between the two sides in the game situation, just by this technical statistics can know a little bit of one or two.

With such a big disadvantage, Hamburg only won three corners in the whole game, and two goals were scored in those three corners, which is such an efficiency that is beyond words......

If it's just this game, then the criticism and accusations from the then Borussia Tertmund media really look like it's a bone in the egg.

But the problem is that this isn't Bayern Munich's only corner goal conceded recently.

The two corners conceded in this game were Bayern Munich's third and fourth in the last three competitive matches.

Since the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal, Bayern, who have been solid in defense this season, has begun to expose their problem: fear of corners.

In the Champions League match against Arsenal at home, Bayern Munich were in the ascendancy at full-time, conceding points from a corner before the end of the game, and Koscielny's header once gave the visitors hope of qualifying, and Bayern Munich was also criticized after the game. But just a week later, Heynckes' side conceded points again from a corner against Bayer Leverkusen, this time with a very amateurish problem, and the team didn't even have a special person to protect the back post in the corner kick set-up!

The two goals conceded against Hamburg this time also came from corner kicks.

Hamburg's first corner of the game resulted in the goal.

Van der Vaart pinpointedly found Bruma in the box, Dante made a mistake on the mark to give his opponent an easy header, and Brufon's header from close range left Neuer helpless. Boateng jumped to his feet in anger after conceding the goal, which showed that he was unhappy with the way he conceded the goal.

It stands to reason that there was a problem in the defense of the corner, so the Bayern Munich players should be cheered up in the next corner? No, Hamburg's second corner resulted in another goal. The strong and tall Westermann was completely undisturbed in the corner-kick duel because Bayern Munich had Tony Kroos in front of him...... Kroos, who was not outstanding with his header and was not physically strong at all, was no match for Westerman when he was fighting for position in the penalty area, and was easily thrown away by the opponent.

Bayern Munich, who have conceded a total of 23 goals in all competitive games so far this season, have conceded five goals in their last three games, and four of those five goals have been conceded from corners.

Through these numbers, it should be possible to know how abnormal the recent consecutive corner kicks have been for Bayern Munich, right?

Of course, when the Dortmund media reported on Bayern Munich's corner kick defense problem, they did not say that they were speaking for Dortmund, but under the guise of asking Bayern Munich to pay attention to this problem in the next Champions League game.

In their reports, they repeatedly mentioned the next Champions League quarterfinals, mentioned Bayern Munich's opponent Juventus, and even explicitly said that Bayern Munich should be careful that this weakness is exploited by Juventus.

What is the purpose of this, can't a discerning person still see it?

Just tell Juventus that this is a little gift from you.

And the Dortmund media also mentioned how Bayern Munich was killed by Chelsea in the final last season, when they were leading the whole game?

This shows that there is a precedent for Bayern Munich to lose a corner kick in the Champions League.

Losing the Champions League final on their own home soil is a scar for Bayern Munich, and Dortmund's move is to tear open Bayern Munich's scars and sprinkle them with salt and pepper noodles.

It stands to reason that the German media seems to be unanimous in a foreign war like the Champions League, but Dortmund's media has instead helped Juventus to come up with ideas, which is absolutely "politically incorrect". But the Dortmund media did just that.

And in addition to surprise Bayern Munich's Champions League opponents, they also sow discord, claiming that Bayern Munich has performed so perfectly under the leadership of the old coach Heynckes this season, which is certainly something to be happy about, but for Pep Guardiola, who is about to take over Heynckes, I am afraid it is not good news.

When Bayern Munich announced that Pep Guardiola would take over as the team's head coach next season, everyone was dissatisfied with Bayern Munich's previous two league title defeats to Dortmund, and they hoped that Guardiola could lead Bayern Munich back to the top, which implied dissatisfaction with Heynckes' work.

The result?

After the news was announced half a season in advance, Heynckes' Bayern Munich played better and better, and was equalized by Dortmund at home in the first half of the season, and never lost at all in the second half of the season.

Heynckes' side behaved like a protest against Bayern Munich's hierarchy announcing Pep Guardiola's ownership half a season earlier – a claim that everyone, including Heynckes himself, denied, but it does lend itself to conspiracy theories......

So the Dortmund media are desperately touting Heynckes' excellent performance at this moment, and when Pep Guardiola takes over the team, most Bayern Munich players will probably still miss Heynckes. Maybe this is not the case at all for Bayern Munich, but the lie has been repeated a thousand times to become the truth, and as long as the Dortmund media continues to drum and shout like this, maybe Bayern Munich will be brought to the ditch?

It's the same thing that the Munich media keep hyping that Dortmund are being given special care by too many referees.

The power of public opinion is very powerful.

From influencing the court to influencing the small people of Shengdou, the influence is everywhere, pervasive, moisturizing things silently, and the people who have been affected do not feel that they have been controlled by public opinion.

※※※

From claiming that Dortmund had been taken care of by the referee, to advising Bayern Munich's Champions League opponents, to sowing discord between Bayern Munich's two former managers, the rivalry between the two teams has been so fierce this season that supporters on both sides have done everything they can to stumble on each other in order to break each other.

It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong, and it's not a first between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, nor is it an isolated one.

Because that's football, it's war in peacetime. (To be continued.) )
