Chapter 113: Perform a miracle and eliminate Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena!
Werder Bremen fans saw Lin Quan blocking the ball, and they all gasped for breath, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Quan himself was also frightened, he was short and couldn't fight for the top in the penalty area, so he simply ran to the goal line to help the goalkeeper make up the defense.
Unexpectedly, the crooked hit was right, and it happened to meet Mandzukic with a header.
If the opponent is in the upper left corner of this ball, then his height must be powerless.
But the other party was in the lower left corner, and he happened to be bumped into by Lin Quan.
After blocking the opponent's shot, Lin Quan himself was scared into a cold sweat.
If he slows down the ball for half a second, it may be too late.
Mandzukic is worthy of being called an air tyrant, and his header is not only powerful, but also angled.
If it weren't for Lin Quan's timely rescue, this goal would have been scored.
"Lin, how did you do it, you're amazing!"
After goalkeeper Militz got up from the ground, a bear hug took Lin Quan in his arms, and he spoke incoherently with excitement.
Other teammates also rushed over, praising Lin Quan's head while praising him for his cleverness.
Everyone's faces were full of expressions for the rest of their lives, it was too thrilling, it was really thrilling!
His interception really saved the whole team, otherwise they would have seen Bayern people celebrate wildly on the pitch at this moment!
"Don't get too excited, go back and rest first, it's time for overtime!"
Captain Fritz reminded.
On the sidelines, Schaaf and the members of the coaching staff also looked excited.
However, he did not forget his duty, and while letting the players sit on the ground to save energy, he hurried to explain to them how to play in extra time.
Since there was no break in the middle of the overtime.
For Werder Bremen's players, it will be very difficult in extra-time.
After a whole intense game, all the players on the field had a lot of physical exertion.
Their fitness may not be enough to play the whole extra time, and the players have to grit their teeth and persevere.
Bayern only need to score one goal and it is almost impossible for them to equalize in their current form, which means they will be eliminated.
So, no matter what, Bayern can't be allowed to score.
The five-minute break ended quickly and the players from both sides returned to the field to continue playing.
As Schaff had guessed, Bayern's players began to attack as soon as they came up.
They are also clearly aware that Werder Bremen's players have reached their physical limits, so they want to completely break the opponent in one go.
It only takes one goal to break the will of Werder Bremen players.
In the case that the opponent has no physical strength and the will is broken, they will win the game safely, and may even expand the score.
After successive stubborn resistance from Werder Bremen, Bayern's players obviously hate Werder Bremen very much!
If they had the opportunity to deliver a heavy defeat on their home turf, they would never have missed it.
Because Bayern has always been in control of the game, the physical consumption of their players is smaller than that of their opponents.
If not, they may not have the strength to continue the siege of Werder Bremen at this time.
Bayern's attack was very ferocious, and the offensive wave after wave.
In the seventh minute of extra time, Ribery cut inside again and forced his foot to shoot past Werder Bremen's full-back.
The kick was not threatening, but the ball hit the defender's leg as it flew and refracted in the air.
Militz was shaken, and although he made the first adjustment, he still couldn't get the ball.
This time, Lin Quan was not in front of the door and could no longer help him resolve the crisis.
Just when everyone thought it was a sure goal, Bayern's players were ready to celebrate.
The ball hit the post.
There was a clatter, and the ball was denied by the post.
A sigh rang out at the Allianz Arena, and countless Bayern fans hugged their heads in annoyance and watched in disbelief at the football flying out of the bottom line.
Such a good opportunity, I actually encountered the goalpost trouble!
This damn goalpost, how can you betray your team!
Werder Bremen's players were taken aback, especially Lukimuya, who almost caused an own goal, and repeatedly apologized to his teammates, saying that he didn't mean it.
He was a little too nervous, and when he saw the ball coming, he subconsciously kicked out, and he didn't even think about the consequences of doing so.
If it weren't for luck, the ball was ejected, and he would have been the sinner of the team when he scored this own goal.
Fortunately, his teammates didn't blame him, not only was he nervous, but who in the whole team wasn't nervous now?
Aware of the gap in the defense on the right side, Werder Bremen further contracted their formation and more closely protected their own penalty area, not giving the opponent a chance to burst into the penalty area to shoot.
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking into the penalty area, Robben, Schweinsteiger, Kroos and others could only take turns to take long shots from outside the box.
Militz, who was beaten out of the state, had divine help and resisted high, and he was stunned to resolve all these long-range shots of the opponent.
Seeing that all offensive means were ineffective, Bayern's players began to get anxious.
The time of the game passed minute by minute, but they were slow to break through the opponent's door.
The tactics devised by the previous coach did not seem to work, which made them feel anxious.
Fifteen minutes of the first half passed quickly, and the second half of extra time began.
On the sidelines, Heynckes saw that his players, especially the few players who had been involved in the attack in the front court, were out of energy.
He made a decisive personnel change: Shakiri came on to replace Robben.
Gomez comes on for Mandzukic.
Mandzukic did his best in this game, and after seeing the substitution cards raised on the sidelines, he didn't even have the strength to go off the field, and left the pitch directly from behind the goal of Werder Bremen, slumping to the ground.
He wants to see his teammates kill the game and win at the closest distance!
The siege of Bayern continued, and the energetic Shakiri slyed like a loach in the Werder Bremen penalty area.
And Gomez also gained an advantage with his abundant physical strength in the confrontation with defenders in the penalty area.
For a moment, Werder Bremen's goal became precarious again.
In the 23rd minute of extra time, Kroos saw Shakhiri's spiritual movement and cleverly sent a pass over the top.
The ball was not sent in the direction of Shakiri's run, but in the opposite direction.
As a result, the players who defended Shakiri did not realize the danger at the first time, and it was not until Shakiri quickly turned around to catch the ball that they realized that the ball was actually passed to Shakiri.
Shakiri is only 169, very short in height, and very light in weight.
It's very difficult for him to hold the ball in front of a tall defender.
However, Kroos took advantage of his team-mate's counter-run to create an opportunity for him to get away from defenders and get away with the ball comfortably.
Well passed!
Shakiri sighed in his heart, took the ball and half turned to look at the direction of the goal, and chose to shoot directly without hesitation.
Militz realised the danger when he saw Kroos' pass, quickly moved to the near corner, leaped high and saved his opponent's shot.
Seeing that his teammates had missed this opportunity, Kroos sighed helplessly.
This shooting technique is a bit of a waste of his wonderful pass, if it is not Shakiri but Robben who assists, it will be a bad goal.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Quan not far from him.
I heard that this guy's shooting skills are also very good, and if he were his teammate, he would probably be able to brush up a few more assists every season.
Bayern missed chances in a row, which made Heynckes on the sidelines a little nervous.
The tactical design worked, but the players couldn't score goals, and he couldn't do anything about it.
He was reminded of the Champions League final against Chelsea seven months ago, in which Bayern's players also missed consecutive chances to score, and were dragged into a penalty shoot-out by Chelsea, who were then eliminated by Chelsea in the shoot-out.
Could it be that the scene of the Champions League final will be repeated in the German Cup?
But just as he was thinking this, the Allianz Arena erupted in a loud cheer.
"What's going on?"
Heynckes asked the people around him as he looked at the arena.
At the moment when he was stunned, the Bayern player seemed to have broken the goal.
Heynckes didn't see who scored the goal, only Bayern's players celebrating wildly on the pitch.
"It was Gomez, Ribery's long-range shot was saved by the goalkeeper and he scored from inside the box!"
Assistant coach Hillman's face turned red with excitement, and after saying this, he couldn't hold back, and rushed to the field to celebrate with the players.
With only seven minutes left in extra time, a goal was scored at this time and the game was almost over.
Without physical fitness, Werder Bremen, who can no longer run, what will they turn the tables around?
Heynckes also understood this, so he couldn't help but get excited.
An ordinary match in the third round of the German Cup, I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
It feels like you're playing in the final of the German Cup!
This victory was not easy to come by!
He glanced at assistant coach Grande, who was older and less passionate than the youngsters, so he just stood on the sidelines and applauded the players, rather than rushing out onto the pitch to celebrate.
The two looked at each other and smiled, hugged each other, and patted each other on the back.
"It's not easy!"
"Well, it's not easy!"
"Our opponent, this game is too tenacious!"
"Yes, with their lineup, it's really not easy to push us to this point!"
On the playing field, Lin Quan returned to his own goal, scooped up the ball, and put it back in the middle circle.
He didn't rush his opponent, just quietly waited for his opponent to celebrate.
Before heading to the Allianz Arena, the team was mentally prepared for the loss.
Against a team as strong as Bayern, no team in the whole of Europe dares to say that they are confident of beating them.
Even those football giants whose players are worth hundreds of millions of euros can't do it, what confidence does Werder Bremen have to say that they will win?
To be able to play like this is already a super level for them.
With the difference in the hard power of the two teams, it is normal for Werder Bremen to lose two or even three goals in this game.
But is it really willing?
The team has fought to this point, to this extent.
Are you really willing to accept a defeat on the road?
No, I'm not reconciled!
He decisively opened the system store and looked at his own points.
After the Nuremberg game, he returned to 18 points, and one more win would have saved up 20 points to take his injury talent to the next level.
But at this time, he couldn't wait, he spent 10 points and upgraded his physical talent to a level!
By the time extra time started, he was out of fitness.
If it weren't for the physical talent he had redeemed before, he would have been unable to hold on.
However, the low-level talent worth 10 points had limited effect, and he tried to pass several times but failed due to lack of fitness.
And without his counter-attacking threat, Bayern can press through the half with impunity and bombard their goals indiscriminately!
Lin Quan knew that he would be leaving Werder Bremen next year, so he always wanted to leave something for the fans of Werder Bremen.
The league champions don't have enough depth on the bench to compete with Bayern.
But in the Cup, they can still fight.
As long as Bayern Munich is eliminated in this game, then among the remaining opponents, only Dortmund can pose a threat to them!
If Dort is distracted by the league and the Champions League, he is eliminated by other opponents early.
They will have a better chance of winning the championship!
Therefore, as long as they eliminate Bayern, they have a good chance of winning the cup!
After the physical talent is upgraded, it is directly used with the help of the system.
Suddenly, Lin Quan felt a steady stream of power return to his body!
He glanced up at the time on the scoreboard, there were still 6 minutes left in the game, and it was enough!
At the urging of the referee, the Bayern players finally ended their celebrations and returned to the field.
When the game restarted, De Bruyne kicked the ball to Lin Quan, who did not return the ball after receiving the ball, but immediately dribbled the ball to the opponent's half.
"Is he crazy?"
The audience at the scene saw that Lin Quan was going to challenge the entire Bayern Munich by himself, and they all showed surprised expressions on their faces.
Did this kid get hit by a lost ball and become delirious?
Cross was right in front of Lin Quan, so he was the first to rush up.
After smashing the ball, changing direction, and after three touches of the ball, Kroos, who was weak defensively, was cleared cleanly.
Martinez and Piggy Schweinsteiger also rushed up, Lin Quan still didn't pass the ball, one kicked to lie down, one accelerated, rushed past the two, and rushed over at high speed to receive his pass.
How could this kid still have such a strong explosive power at this time, didn't he have no physical strength before?
After being passed, 10,000 question marks flashed through Martinez's mind, and he couldn't figure it out.
Bayern's defenders are going to scold their mothers!
Less than five seconds after the kick-off, the opposing striker was in front of him, and the plot developed completely beyond their predictions.
"Stop him!"
On the sidelines, Heynckes, who had been calm for a whole time, finally couldn't calm down at this time.
The indomitable momentum of his opponent brought him a great shock and made him feel great danger.
If you can't stop him early, I'm afraid this ball will not be able to prevent it!
There is no need for Heynckes to remind him that when Lin Quan arrived in front of the big penalty area, almost all four of Bayern's defenders pounced.
They knew too well that this guy was a threat in the box, and they couldn't let him break into the box so easily.
Facing the pressure of the four people who came up at the same time, Lin Quan couldn't bear it.
He passed Dante, but before he could pass the second man, he was shoveled down by Alaba.
The referee blew the whistle just in time to show Alaba a yellow card and awarded Werder Bremen a free-kick.
When he took out the cards, he glanced at Lin Quan in some surprise.
This kid is really a tiger, he is single-handedly taking on the opponent's entire team, and he almost succeeded!
On the sidelines, Shaf, who was already preparing to disarm and surrender, saw Lin Quan's crazy attack, and the whole person was not calm.
"Peterson, quick, you get on the field and replace Yunuzovich!"
He turned his head and locked on striker Nils Petersen, who had been on loan from Bayern, and didn't even give him time to warm up, sending him straight on.
Petersen was stunned, he thought he wouldn't have a chance to play in this game.
As a result, before the end of the game, the head coach actually called his name.
After quickly undressing and running onto the pitch, Peterson ran to De Bruyne and Lin Quan, who were about to take the free throws, and whispered to them.
Lin Quan glanced in the direction of the coach's seat and saw Sha Fu nodding to himself.
De Bruyne took the free-kick and he stepped back a long distance and Neuer judged he might have to take the ball.
So hurriedly move your feet and prepare to make a save.
The free-kick was taken, and unexpectedly, it wasn't a straight lift goal.
The ball flew into the box and landed on the left side of the box near the baseline.
It's a pass!
And Lin Quan appeared here, received the ball, and was not offside!
Bayern's players were so afraid of Lin Quan that they didn't even think about it, and rushed to Lin Quan in a swarm, trying to stop him from shooting.
But Lin Quan didn't shoot himself, but passed the ball back to his teammates who were in the empty space because the Bayern players left.
Nils Peterson received his pass.
He remembered the question he had about Lin Quan in the last game, after he missed Lin Quan's wonderful pass.
And Lin Quan gave his own answer with a pass!
The boss actually passed the ball to me!
Petersen tried desperately to hold back his excitement, and after glancing at Neuer's position, he fired the ball out with a push.
Under the watchful eyes of the 65,000 fans in the stadium, the ball pressed against the ground, brushed Neuer's fingertips, and rolled into the net!
The score became 2:2, and Werder Bremen stubbornly equalized in the 26th minute of extra time.
After scoring the goal, Peterson excitedly rushed to Lin Quan and gave the other party a warm hug.
"Boss, I scored, I scored, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
Lin Quan smiled and patted his head:
"Well done, Peterson, you're a Werder Bremen hero!"
Peterson was praised by Lin Quan like this, and immediately smirked happily.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something.
Oh no, I look like a Bayern player, I just scored the Bayern goal, and I'm celebrating so excitedly......
Shhh......h
Petersen's goal was a huge blow to Bayern's morale, and the victory flew away!
How can you not be angry?
What's even more infuriating is that the people of Werder Bremen were not conscious at all, and celebrated for two minutes in front of the boos of more than 60,000 fans in the away stadium before it ended.
Now, Bayern has even less time to attack.
After kick-off, Bayern wanted to launch a fast attack and try to beat Werder Bremen.
However, Werder Bremen's morale has fully recovered, and the players seem to have forgotten about their physical fatigue and are doing their best to hold on to the opposition's attack.
Five minutes later, after three minutes of stoppage time, the referee was finally willing to blow the whistle for the end of extra time.
The two sides went into a brutal penalty shootout!
In the penalty shoot-out, Neuer saved a penalty from Werder Bremen, despite his courageous performance.
However, the morale of the Bayern players was greatly affected, and they missed two goals when they made free throws.
In the end, Werder Bremen won a penalty shoot-out and miraculously defeated Bayern Munich away from home to advance to the next round of the German Cup.
