Chapter Sixty-Seven: Going to the meeting alone and challenging Neuer
In order to limit Schweinsteiger, Schaff sent wing-back Hunt back to mark him closely, limiting his passing and breaking.
Although it is impossible for Hunt to completely lock up the piglet, his presence still reduces the threat of Schweinsteiger to a certain extent.
However, after the piggy was restricted, Bayern's attack immediately changed.
Franck Ribery began to take over the burden of attack and became the new attacking core.
Bayern also consciously passed the ball to Ribery to increase his chances of breaking through and cutting inside.
For a moment, Werder Bremen's right flank became noisy.
Ribery at this time was definitely at his peak.
His break-through and in-depth cut, as well as his combination with Arjen Robben, gave Bayern an unrivalled ability to attack from the wings.
Although Robben did not play in this game, Ribery still put on an excellent performance.
In the 22nd minute, Ribery cut inside with the ball and passed to Muller, who dribbled horizontally, took away the defender and passed the ball back to Ribery.
The two switched positions in the process of passing, leaving the Werder Bremen players who were marking them in a trance.
At this moment, taking advantage of the leakage in the opponent's defense, Ribery immediately dribbled into the penalty area.
Pizarro, meanwhile, had already run out of space in the box, just waiting for a through ball from his team-mate.
One of Werder Bremen's defenders stepped forward to intercept Ribery and the other cut off his pass to Pizarro.
But Ribery was so fast that he shook off the Werder Bremen defender with a single acceleration and dribbled close to the edge of the six-yard box.
At this point, he didn't have any angles to shoot, but Bayern already had three players cut into the Werder Bremen box at high speed, and no matter who they passed to, they could get a great chance to hit the goal.
Just when everyone thought he was going to pass the ball, Ribery saw the gap in the defender's position, took a step into the box, and shot straight at goal.
The ball was hit very suddenly, Militz didn't expect the opponent to hit the goal directly, and he jumped in a hurry when he was not prepared, but he didn't touch the ball at all.
Fortunately, Ribery's shot was too small when he hit the post, and the ball bounced off the post, allowing Werder Bremen to escape.
The opponent's opening attacks were extremely threatening, and if it weren't for the slight lack of luck in the final shot, Werder Bremen might have fallen behind by two goals at this time.
Seeing that the opponent was using Ribery as the core of the attack, Schaff immediately made adjustments, allowing De Bruyne to consciously lean to the right of the team and assist Lin Quan to defend Ribery together.
Lin Quan and De Bruyne are the kind of players who are strong in attack and weak in defence, and it is too difficult for them to defend Ribery one-on-one.
In addition to strengthening the defense on the wing, his arrangement also has another meaning, that is, to use De Bruynelin's attacking ability and the tacit understanding between the two to play a cooperation in the front court, so that Werder Bremen's attack has improved.
is always pressed and beaten by the other party like this, and no one can withstand Bayern's terrifying offensive firepower.
They have to burn the flames to Bayern's half!
After seeing the manager's gesture, De Bruyne immediately moved to the right and formed a triangle position with right midfielder Lin Quan and right full-back Selassie to block Ribery's breakthrough space.
Ribery didn't take Lin Quan and De Bruyne seriously, and after receiving a pass from his team-mate, he accelerated and changed direction, ready to pass Lin Quan.
Ribery is very fast, he does a good job of receiving the ball and handling the ball in detail, which makes his first step on the break difficult to defend and you can't keep up with his tempo.
Lin Quan's defensive ability is very scummy, and he was easily passed.
But he did not give up, but immediately pursued in the rear.
He knew his team-mate would be in front of him, and it was impossible for Ribery not to slow down when he passed his team-mate, and as long as he paused, he had a chance to break the ball!
Seeing that Lin Quan was broken through, De Bruyne immediately intercepted Ribery.
De Bruyne's defensive ability was also very scummy, but under Lin Quan's continuous sparring, his defensive ability improved rapidly.
The breakthrough tricks of ordinary wide players are almost familiar to him.
Ribery tried to take advantage of the change of tempo for the first time, but De Bruyne was not fooled, he calmly stepped back, stuck his position, and did not let his opponent succeed.
Hey?
This kid can defend well!
Ribery was a little surprised in his heart, he thought he could easily get past the other party, but he didn't expect it to be unsuccessful.
So he pulled himself together, lowered his center of gravity, and put his weight on his right foot.
Ribery started his own ghost step, constantly using the continuous change of rhythm to seek a breakthrough.
De Bruyne also lowered his center of gravity and focused his attention, but saw the opponent suddenly pick up the ball, the ball flew from De Bruyne's left side, and then Ribery sprinted at full speed, trying to eat the opponent raw with speed.
This move was almost a famous trick for Ribery, he was very explosive and started extremely quickly.
The defender has enough time to turn around and get past the opponent's obstruction, which is difficult for the opponent to stop unless it is a foul.
De Bruyne turned around and was half a position behind, but he hadn't completely lost his position.
So he desperately clinged to Ribery, trying to stop Ribery from speeding up.
Although Ding Ding's height is very high, his weight is a little light, and he quickly fell behind in the confrontation with the scar man, plus he was half a position behind, he didn't hold it for a few seconds, and the opponent's acceleration made his body lose its center of gravity, and he fell to the ground with a snap, and fell to the ground, falling a.
Fortunately, Werder Bremen's full-back Selassie had already rushed towards the ball at this time, he touched the ball first and quickly passed the ball to Lin Quan.
Lin Quan has been desperately chasing back, and there are no other Bayern players around him at this time.
He turned around without receiving the ball and then flew towards Bayern's half with the ball.
After being pressed by the opponent for more than 20 minutes, it was their turn to take a bad breath.
Seeing his teammate break through with the ball, De Bruyne quickly got up from the ground and rushed out, spitting out the grass clippings in his mouth as he ran.
Arnautovic also started running wildly up front, trying to get out of the open space.
Although Lin Quan had no intention of passing, his teammate's running position still managed to take away a defender and help him disperse some defensive pressure.
Franck Ribery chased after the goal he conceded, and he was in Bayern's tactical system, with both attack and defence, and the entire left flank was his range of activity.
It's no wonder that he is the king of Allianz, Robben is not, the gap between the two in terms of defensive enthusiasm and role is quite large!
Ribery is fast, but Lin Quan is not slow either.
He ignored Ribery, who was chasing after him, and drove the ball directly to Bayern's second half.
Seeing Lin Quan coming with the ball, Bad Stuber immediately stepped forward to intercept, intending to cooperate with Ribery to strike back and forth, and cut off the opponent's ball together.
Lin Quan did not continue to break through along the side, he saw Bad Stuber come forward to intercept, and immediately cut inside to the middle.
Gustavo couldn't sit idly by at this time, he rushed towards Lin Quan, intending to wrap up the three and cut off the ball at his feet.
This kid's breakthrough at the Allianz Arena last time impressed the entire Bayern, and even if he was sandwiched by three people, Bayern's players still did not have absolute confidence in their hearts.
If it was the first time he met Bayern, Lin Quan might continue to break through like a stunned man.
But this time, he chose to trust his teammates.
After attracting Gustavo's pressing, Lin Quan didn't look behind him, and directly crossed the ball and knocked it into the rib space at the front of Bayern's penalty area.
Gustavo's departure made a temporary defensive void here, and Bayern's other midfielder Schweinsteiger was unable to rush back to defend at the first time near the center circle because he was very active in the attack.
Bayern centre-back Dante, with his vast defensive experience, is aware of this problem and is ready to step forward to plug the gap.
But before he could get in place, Lin Quan had already passed the ball.
Immediately afterwards, a green figure rushed over like a lightning speed, appeared here first, and took away the pass that Lin Quan knocked over.
Dangerous!
Dante and goalkeeper Neuer both sounded the alarm in their hearts, and the opponent in this position is very likely to hit the door directly!
And De Bruyne also bent his bow at this time, pulled his right foot back, leaned back, and completed the preparation before shooting!
Neuer saw the opponent's posture and knew that it was a heavy artillery, so he immediately adjusted his position and prepared to fly to save.
Dante put his hands behind his back, leaned slightly to the side, and lifted his right leg in an effort to block the shot.
It hurts to hit the body with a heavy artillery shot, and in serious cases, you can even be kicked.
Therefore, when intercepting the opponent's heavy artillery, the defender needs to overcome the fear in his heart and dare to step forward to block the eye, which requires courage!
De Bruyne saw the actions of the two, but surprisingly did not choose to hit the goal, but held it high, gently picked up the ball, and with a pick-up pass, the ball crossed Dante and passed into the penalty area.
At the same time, another green figure smashed into the box from the left side of the Bayern penalty area at great speed.
Werder Bremen's number 10 receives the ball in the box!
At this time, only the Bayern goalkeeper and his goal were left in front of him!
