Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 743 Not afraid of counterattack?
"Coach Magath said before the game that Bayern will break the two records since Mourinho took office at St. James' Park, namely unbeaten at home in all competitions and 21 consecutive unbeaten in the Champions League. , now let us see if he can fulfill his promise... After all, these two records of Newcastle are not easy to come by. The two strong players in Spain, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​have planted a big here. somersault."

Before the start of the game, the ESPN commentator said to the camera, and then the camera flickered, and there was an interview with Bayern Munich manager Hoeness. He supported Magath's statement: "We have seen Newcastle in the Champions League. The vast majority of their goals in the last game were quick counter-attacks, and that doesn't happen to us."

The Newcastle fans in front of the TV yelled: "We will not only counterattack quickly!"

"Okay, now the game has started, the first kick-off is Bayern Munich... They didn't rush to attack, but organized back and forth in the midfield... Magath sent a four-five-one formation in this game , it seems that although he showed confidence before the game, he still puts caution first in the game."

"Of course! The Germans don't dare to attack aggressively!" In a bar, a Newcastle fan raised his beer and shouted loudly: "We are the strongest! The Germans are not us at all. opponent!"

Needless to say, there are historical grievances between Britain and Germany. The two world wars alone are enough to make the two countries feud. Even in football, there are many grievances and grievances between the two countries.

Although it is the birthplace of modern football, in the history of world football, the performance of the England national team is far inferior to that of the German national team, which is second only to Brazil. The England national team was eliminated by the German national team three times in the World Cup finals. , was also eliminated by the German national team three times in the European Championships, and their one-time World Cup championship results cannot be compared with the brilliant record of the German national team's three-time World Cup championship and three-time European Championship championship. The only thing that makes them proud is probably In the 1966 World Cup held in mainland China, they defeated the then West Germany team in the final.

It's just that after entering the 21st century, the contest between the England national team and the German national team still wins and loses each other, but at the club level, the Premier League team has the upper hand, and only Bayern Munich has a club in the Champions League. In terms of competitiveness, the teams entering the Champions League in the Premier League all have the strength to attack the championship, and they are all strong teams that cannot be ignored by other league teams.

But as the best team in the Bundesliga (at least in terms of historical results), Bayern still dominates the European arena. For many years, the Bundesliga has relied on the Bayern family to support the European arena, and only Bayern is distracted. In the case of the Champions League, other teams may win the Bundesliga championship.

But then again, although there are many factors in the downturn of the Bundesliga, it is undeniable that Bayern spared no effort to poach other domestic clubs, which is also one of the factors for the overall decline of the Bundesliga.

Take Bayer Leverkusen, the only one that was able to form a long-term confrontation with Bayern in the Bundesliga in the late 90s and early 21st century. They have almost become Bayern's talent pool, from Sergio to the Kovac brothers, from Ze From Roberto to Ballack, basically everything that could be dug was dug. If Pei Wei hadn't stepped in, Lucio would have moved to Bayern this season in history, not only Leverkusen, but also other The team has also been poached by Bayern. Dortmund's Frings, Hertha Berlin's Deisler, Bremen's Pizarro... Basically, teams that can pose a threat to Bayern cannot escape this fate.

Of course, Pei Wei has no intention of complaining for those teams. After all, in the world of professional football, it is a skill to be able to poach so many players who play an important role in other teams-who makes you unable to keep good players, just like Newcastle now , It’s not that they have dug a lot of people, but they are not as aggressive as Chelsea.

Being able to poach people from domestic league opponents so smoothly and repeatedly succeed, this in itself proves Bayern's strong attraction, and this is also the most different thing about Bayern compared with other Bundesliga teams-just like the king in YY's novel. The same domineering spirit, other teams can't shake their bodies if they want to shake their bodies.

So Mourinho has never underestimated Bayern's strength.

************************************
Ballack's shot from outside the penalty area hit Dawson and went over the baseline. Bayern forced a corner kick at the beginning of the game, but soon Dawson cleared the corner kick over Mackay, and the ball fell to Hargreave. At the foot of Si, Bayern continued to attack.

Ballack took the ball in the middle. After transferring to Bayern, Ballack quickly became the core player of this veteran Bundesliga team. He is also known as the only world-class superstar among active German players. When you are in the German amateur league, you must be full of emotions.

However, Ballack does not seem to be the kind of sentimental person. He has the unique characteristics of the Germans-resolute, strong, disciplined, and will do his best in every game.

Nie Fei, who returned to defense, planned to stop him from the side, but Ballack didn't give his former midfield partner a little face. He just squeezed Nie Fei's defense away with his body and broke through easily.

Nie Fei was knocked so hard that he sat on the ground and looked at Ballack's back with a wry smile. When he and Ballack were partners in Yunjia Tianyu ten years ago, they knew that this midfield partner was like a tank. Just as strong, I didn't expect this guy to give me any face...

Nie Fei was broken through. Naturally, other Newcastle midfielders would not let Ballack look like this. Essien quickly went up to meet him, while Makelele was watching behind him. As long as Ballack is not paying attention, he may be caught by him. neutral.

Facing this pair of midfielders with the best defensive ability in Europe, even if he is as strong as Ballack, he dare not take it lightly. But that is not a level that can be played at any time, not to mention that the game has just started, so there is no need to entangle with the opponent here.

Ballack dunked the ball, turned around halfway, used his physical advantage to push Essien behind him, then raised his foot and passed the ball to Ze Roberto on the left.

Nie Fei has not had time to return to the defense. Now Newcastle's right flank is only defended by Maicon, which is a place that can be used.

Ze Roberto took the ball forward, and after attracting Maicon's attention, he immediately knocked the ball to Lizarazu who was in the middle.

Lucio headed the ball ahead of Ma Kai. Although the Dutch striker is 1.9 meters tall, he is not good at heading the ball.

Bernard got the ball and Newcastle immediately began to switch from defense to attack.

Obviously Bayern was very wary of Newcastle's quick counterattack. Salihamidzic immediately forced Bernard to prevent him from immediately launching a long pass to counterattack, while the others immediately began to quickly return to defense.

Seeing that the ball could not be passed, Bernard dunked the ball and passed it back to Lucio at the front of the penalty area.

Seeing that Newcastle seemed to be planning to control the ball, several Bayern frontcourt players slowed down their defense. Anyway, the defenders have basically returned to defense. It is better to stay in the frontcourt to harass and prevent the opponent from easily hitting the ball. frontcourt.

Who knew that Lucio looked up to observe the situation in the frontcourt, and then immediately made a long pass!
This kick was beyond the expectations of the Bayern players. They have carefully studied Newcastle's counterattack. Although Newcastle's counterattack is very fast, they are not blind long passes, but quickly hit the ball through fast mid-short passes. Go to the frontcourt, and then use Nie Fei, Ribery, Ibrahimovic and other players with excellent organizational breakthrough ability to form a deadly pass-compared with the direct long pass from the backcourt, although this kind of counterattack seems a little slower, But it is more efficient.

But Lucio made a long pass!
Magath was startled, and quickly raised his head to look forward, and then he was relieved. The four defenders on his side were basically in place, and the opponent only had Drogba at the front, and Ribery and Nie Fei were slightly delayed. In the latter point, Ibrahimovic is still near the middle circle.

Robert Kovac stepped back and jumped up to head the ball, but Drogba also jumped up. His height and jumping ability are a little higher than Kovac's. Under his interference, Kovac's header clearance did not go far, but instead hit the ball in front of Ribery!

Faced with this generous gift, Ribery naturally would not be polite. After taking the ball a step, he immediately made a cross pass and handed the ball to Nie Fei who moved from the right to the center!
To say that Bayern's defense did not make any mistakes, Lizarazu was less than three meters away from Nie Fei before Nie Fei got close to the ball, and he would soon be able to entangle Nie Fei.

In desperation, Nie Fei did not stop the ball, but swung his right foot and took a long shot before Lizarazu came up to defend!

Naturally, Kahn would not be afraid of this long-range shot of nearly 30 meters. He immediately judged the direction of the ball and reacted at the same time.

but……

After the ball flew into the penalty area, it hit Demichelis' outstretched leg and bounced to the near corner. Kahn, who had already made a save, could only watch the ball fly into the goal!
The moment the ball flew into the goal, the whole city of Newcastle gave out huge cheers!

"Aren't you afraid of counterattack? Haha! We are going to counterattack!" A fan shouted loudly as he poured the beer in his cup into the sky.
