Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 748 I'm Satisfied
Bayern leveled the score in 4 minutes, and at that time, they were in heaven.

But after 27 minutes, they were in hell.

9 minutes, No. 70 minutes, No. 801 minutes, Newcastle relied on Essien, Franck Ribery and Didier Drogba to score a goal each, leading Bayern four to one!
This is almost a score that can send Newcastle directly to the next round!

How long has it been since Newcastle lost [-]-[-]?No one has counted this, but what is certain is that after Mourinho took office, Newcastle has never lost three goals in any game!
If the game ends with this score, the only thing Bayern can rely on is that they scored a goal in the away game-but with Newcastle's offensive strength, can they guarantee not to concede a goal even at home?

Newcastle's four goals, like four mountains, weigh heavily on the heart of Bayern coach Magath.

He replaced Frings with the last striker on the bench, Peruvian teenager Guerrero, and Mourinho immediately made adjustments, replacing Nie Fei with Janus to strengthen the defense in the middle, and Newcastle began to recover.

It’s not that Mourinho likes to accept as soon as it’s good. In fact, he prefers to maximize his advantage when he has an advantage-but in the period just now, Newcastle, who launched a fierce attack, also consumed a lot of energy. Imagine how suppressed it was before Obviously very unrealistic.

For this kind of recovery defense, Newcastle has long been familiar with it, and Bayern's counterattack is not too fierce. First, because of the drop in morale caused by consecutive goals, and their physical fitness is almost exhausted in the defense just now, against Newcastle. The goal isn't too much of a threat.

Seeing the passing of minutes and seconds, the fans of Newcastle were relieved, and they were a little tired after shouting for more than an hour. They began to watch the game with a more relaxed attitude.

Well, this game is probably going to be like this... Looking at the weak looks of the Bayern players, this game must have been won four to one.

In fact, most of the Bayern players think the same way. Although the German team is characterized by tenacity, it is undeniable that Newcastle's wave of three consecutive strikes did give them too many blows.

Ballack didn't give up, but he couldn't make any waves alone, and except for Schweinsteiger, Sauer and Guerrero, who had just replaced him, no one else had much physical strength to help him.

Seeing that the game went to 10 minutes, Mourinho used up the last substitution spot, Larson replaced Ibrahimovic-this substitution was entirely out of the idea of ​​delaying time, so Ibrahimovic was also slow He walked down the field, applauding to the stands as he walked.

Add 2 minutes.The pace of the game in the second half was very fast, so there was no need for stoppage time. The Newcastle fans in the stands had already begun to celebrate in advance. For them, this night will be another happy night. Wouldn't it be the best enjoyment for a fan to have a drink at a bar and happily discuss with other fans the happy scenes in the game just now?
******************************************
Ballack received a pass from Schweinsteiger, maybe because Bayern seemed to have no fighting spirit, maybe because the game was in the last minute of stoppage time, Newcastle's players did not immediately respond. He formed a press, just stopped in front of him.

But even so, in front of Ballack, there is still a monolith. The seven defensive players of Newcastle can say that the entire penalty area is tightly guarded. Ballack looked up, and there were no teammates who could form a strong support for him.

Although he didn't look up to watch the electronic display screen above the stands, Ballack also knew in his heart that stoppage time was almost here, and as soon as the attack was over, the referee would blow the whistle for the end of the game.

And even if he stayed for a while longer, the referee might end the game directly, because the place where he stopped the ball was not in the dangerous area.

He didn't want to just give up like this - as long as the game is not over, there is still fighting.

What's more, this is not a league. If it was a league, it would be over if it reached this point, and now it's a two-round knockout match!If you can enter one more, you will have more hope!
Thinking of this, Ballack gritted his teeth and rushed forward with the ball alone.

Makelele came up to defend him, but he was forced to rely on his own body to rush over. Although Makelele had excellent defensive ability, after all, there was a huge gap in height between him and him, and he suffered a small injury some time ago, so he was He rushed over easily.

But immediately, Essien and Janus, two defensive midfielders with excellent physical fitness and equally strong defensive ability, came over. Even if Ballack was a lot bigger, it was rare to rush over.

But for Ballack, if he can't make it through, he still has to go -- if he can make it through, maybe he can even tie the score to [-]-[-], so there is still hope to get it back at home. If he can't make it through, it's just a ball, Sometimes it can be worlds apart.

At this moment, he heard a familiar voice: "Michael, this way!"

Ballack immediately passed the ball to the source of the sound without thinking, and then accelerated, rushing past Essien and Janus!
With his explosive power, it was difficult for Essien and Janus to catch up with him for a while.

The one who received the ball was Sauer, who had just come on the field. This talented but always troubled genius still got the ball under the pressure of Maicon, and then did not give Maicon a chance to defend. The ball poked in front of Barack!
The running pass between the two cooperated seamlessly!

After receiving the ball, Ballack has reached the front of the penalty area, took the ball forward and rushed into the penalty area!

"Damn it! These guys are careless! Why is there such a big gap between the defender and the midfielder!" Pei Wei cursed in a low voice.

Defense has never been based on a large number of people, because no matter how many people there are, there will be no more than eleven people. For such a large penalty area, even if all the members return to the defense, it is impossible to have no flaws. The real defense depends on the third line Compact, making the opponent's attack space narrow.

But just now, there was no tightness between the back line and the front line, but there was a space of about two meters, allowing Ballack to rush into the penalty area. Such a player entering the penalty area is very dangerous!

Lucio rushed over, intending to break Ballack's ball, but this time he made another rash mistake, and Ballack took advantage of the opportunity to dunk the ball to the side, dodging his outstretched foot!
Not only dodge him, but also dodge a gap that can be shot!

In desperation, Lucio, who had already rushed over Ballack's body, subconsciously reached out and grabbed Ballack's jersey...

"Beep—" The Dutch referee Temmink's whistle blew, and he rushed over quickly, pointing his finger at the penalty spot!

penalty!At the end of the game, Bayern won a penalty!
The Newcastle players surrounded the referee, but Lucio did commit a foul just now. Although it seemed easier to fall with Ballack's size, Lucio's foul was undisputed.

When the appeal was fruitless, the Newcastle players had to disperse—maybe things weren’t that bad, Petr Cech was also good at saving penalties... His size alone, with his long arms stretched out, almost occupied Most of the goals, the penalty kick players will be the first to beat their hearts when they see him like this.

Ballack quietly put the ball on the penalty spot, and after hearing the referee's whistle, he ran up and shot!

"The ball went in! Ballack calmly hit the ball in! Cech judged the right direction, but the ball was too fast! Bayern tied the score at two to four! Maybe this penalty will be a turning point for Bayern!"

As soon as Larsson and Drogba kicked off, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. When Ballack took the penalty kick, the time for the end of the game had already arrived, so as soon as Newcastle kicked off, The game is over.

In this battle, the final score was four to two. Newcastle won, but it was not a complete victory. Bayern lost the game and lost the initiative, but they kept hope.

It seems that, not to mention that everyone is happy, at least everyone has their own gains. In the cruel knockout match, such an ending seems to be easier for both sides to accept.

But what about in practice?

The coaches of both sides were late for the press conference after the game. The grumpy Magath reprimanded the players after returning to the locker room, especially the performance in the last 10 minutes. Extremely dissatisfied, except for Ballack, Sauer, Kahn and Schweinsteiger, the other players were criticized one by one by him.

Mourinho's performance was not as intense as his. After all, he won the ball: "Today we played a game that was close to perfection...Why do we say it is close to perfection? I think everyone should know it in their hearts. The advantage of four to two looks It sounds big, but it’s not. At its peak, AC Milan could win [-]-[-] at home and get eliminated [-]-[-] away. What’s more, we only won [-]-[-]? I don’t want to be in such a situation I will see it in future games. A game is a war, and if you relax before the war is over, you may cause unnecessary losses. I hope everyone will keep this in mind in the future.”

After ringing enough alarm bells, Mourinho still praised the performance of the players, after all, this was indeed a wonderful victory.

However, after appearing at the press conference, the two coaches were all smiling. Mourinho said: "I am very satisfied with a beautiful victory." Hopefully, at the Allianz Arena, we can make up the difference of the last two goals."

Are you really satisfied?Probably other than themselves, only God knows...
