Chapter 284: Away Goals, Is It Really That Important?
In less than 10 minutes, Bayern scored first.
It was definitely a dream start for Bayern, who came first home and then away.
And after Arsenal attacked strongly, they used the counter-attack to score.
It was definitely a morale-boosting goal.
Arsene Wenger looked sluggish, returned to his seat, covered his mouth with his hand, and discussed his next tactics with the assistant coach.
Mustafi was absolutely world-class defensively.
It's just that Rosie's forward running position is too smart.
It's a textbook running position that can be used as a teaching material.
Bayern fans celebrated wildly and it lasted for a long time.
This is different from the domestic league.
The opponent is Arsenal of the Premier League and a regular in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
Every goal counts.
After the resumption of competition, Arsenal did not lose their fighting spirit.
After all, it is an away game, and even if it ends with the current score, it is very advantageous to return to the home game in the next leg.
Bayern continued to press forward.
Carlo Ancelotti's tactics in this game were very clear, starting with a rush to attack, pressing the opponent and not giving Arsenal any chance.
Under Bayern's fierce frontcourt scramble, Arsenal's ball was significantly weakened, and Bilda made a successful steal in midfield and distributed the ball to Thiago.
As a midfielder, he has a lot of space to get the ball up front under the protection of the double midfield.
He dribbles and pulls the opposition defence and then splits the ball to the right.
Peter Pan, Robben, arrives in the right-hand corridor that he is familiar with.
In the face of Corcoran's defence, Robben flicked the ball sideways to the left, adjusted his body balance in small steps, and followed up with his left foot.
Robben's shot was so fast that the defenders couldn't defend it at all.
The ball arcs through the air and goes down the underside of the crossbar into the net.

γAryang...... Robben !! γ
The home stadium erupted in earth-shattering cheers again.
In three minutes, two goals were scored in a row, and both were exciting, it was really enjoyable!
The professor in the audience finally couldn't hold back and stood on the sidelines, with a serious expression and his hands crossed in front of his chest.
These two goals show the strength of Bayern's individual and team ability.
If it continues like this, the team will collapse sooner or later.
It must be attacked.
When it comes to attacking football, Arsenal are not weak at all.
Arsenal kick off and Bayern continue to press.
Xhaka, the team's new signing, dropped back to the back line to help ease the pressure.
In the 15th minute, Arsenal's pass in midfield was cut off by Vidal.
The opportunity to counter-attack is in front of Bayern once again.
But Arsenal immediately organized a fierce counter-attack on the spot to delay Bayern's ball.
Martinez's pass was also cut off by Arsenal striker Sanchez, who launched a counter-attack.
In the face of Bayern's blockade, Sanchez used his personal ability to run wildly with the ball all the way to the penalty area.
Martinez is a little less than in terms of speed.
Seeing Sanchez getting closer and closer to the penalty area, he hit Sanchez directly with his body and put him to the ground.
Drip!
Yellow card + free kick in front.
The decision was undisputed.
Martinez used a yellow card to ruin the opponent's one-on-one chance, and this wave was not lost.
Arsenal's free kick is relatively close to the goal, and it is not easy to shoot directly at the goal, so you can only rely on clever shots.
XXX stands in front of the ball and takes a low arc with his left foot towards the bottom left corner of the goal.
This is a direct shot with poor speed and angle.
For Noyer, it's definitely a piece of cake.
However, the ball bounced off the ground to mislead the goalkeeper's judgment, and the ball bounced off the ground and hit him in the chest and bounced towards the goal.
This mistake directly caught the Bayern players off guard.
Xhaka flanked in the shot.
Fortunately, Nuo Yin'er reacted very quickly in the second time and flew to block.
The ball hit him in his arms, and then Noyer rolled over and crushed under him.
The danger in front of the goal made the home team fans exclaim.
After this wave of attacks, Arsenal seem to be gradually regaining their form and playing with more and more confidence.
Two minutes later, Arsenal's attack came again.
In a corner kick that seemed to have no great chance, Laiwan accidentally kicked down the robbing Koscielny when he cleared the siege, and was whistled for a foul by the referee.
Arsenal get a penalty!
Laiwan rushed to the referee for the first time.
It has been repeatedly shown that he did not see his opponent and that this clearance was not aimed at people at all.
But the referee told Levan again in a resolute tone that it was an undisputed penalty.
You weren't given a yellow card because you didn't mean to commit a foul.
Arsene Wenger finally breathed a sigh of relief and clenched his fists.
After a long siege, the effect was finally obtained.
It could have been a penalty that changed the fortunes of both teams.
Sanchez stood on the penalty spot and slowly ran after hearing the referee's whistle!
[Sanchez shoots!] γ
γHit the bottom left corner of the goal!γ γ
[Noyer pounced!!! γ
[Sanchez followed up with a follow-up shot, is there anything else?] γ
[The ball is in!] γ
[Arsenal pulled a goal back!] γ
After the goal, Sanchez frantically rushed near the corner flag and opened his arms to meet the hugs of his teammates.
It was his 20th goal of the season for Arsenal.
It's a veritable thigh for the team.
The Bayern fans behind him shook their fists angrily.
Noyer's first save already showed his world-class goalkeeping qualities.
But he couldn't stop the opponent's second follow-up shot.
The score came to 2:1!
Although Bayern were ahead, Arsenal had a valuable away goal that could have made the difference between the two legs.
Sure enough, after scoring the goal, Arsenal began to shrink their defense and concentrate on counter-attacking.
It's Bayern that's in a hurry now.
They went on a frantic attack towards the Arsenal penalty area.
In the 21st minute, Alaba's cross hit the arm of the defending team, and the referee did not make any indications.
In the 25th minute, Laiwan's header was saved by goalkeeper Ospina.
In the 30th minute, Rossi shot on goal, and Koscielny, who was also back to the defense, successfully cleared on the goal line.
Arsenal defended with a tenacious team and defused Bayern's attacks again and again.
The first half ended soon and the players from both sides returned to the dressing room.
'In the second half, we should have used more crosses from the flanks and threatened them with headers!'
'We only have a high spot in the box and it's easy to be targeted.'
"Then let Billa step forward, he will never run out of strength!"
'In doing that, we have an empty midfield. In case they fight back, how to defend it? β
"There's an away goal on the other side!"
In the Bayern dressing room, the players began to have a heated discussion again.
Offensively, they have a variety of offensive means.
But now the key is how to organize an effective defense when the offense is ineffective.
Arsenal can't be given any chance to score.
"Luo, what do you think?"
Captain Ram, patted Rossi on the shoulder.
Although he has only joined the team for more than half a year, Rossi's performance has won the absolute trust of his teammates.
This kind of trust gives him a certain say in the locker room.
'Why should we care about scoring away goals?'
Rossi's words silenced the Bayern dressing room.
Don't care about away goals, what's the joke you're kidding?
If it ends with the current scoreline, the next leg against the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal only needs 1:0 to qualify.
That's what a valuable away goal is all about.
"As long as we win both legs, does it still make sense to score away goals?"
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
