Chapter 589 Fortunately, we still have him

Rong Guang's actual performance afterwards proved that the TV broadcast's favor for him was justified.

Villarreal's dense defense was indeed successful when they scored in the first half. When the first half ended, they only conceded one goal-that is to say, after they switched to a defensive stance, they did not concede a goal.

So it seems that their defense is really good.

If it continues like this, it seems that they are really going to return to Spain with a small loss.

It turned out that at this time again, only 6 minutes into the second half, Rong Guang used a sudden long-range shot from outside the penalty area to blast away Villarreal's goal for the second time.

2: 0!

Pellegrini's wishful thinking has completely failed!
Two goals behind is already considered a very dangerous score.

If the score ends, then even if he returns to his home court, he is not very sure that the team can eliminate Bayern Munich.

That meant Villarreal would have to score three goals at home, or take two and send the game to penalties, before being lucky enough to knock out Bayern Munich.But the German team's penalty kick... obviously has an advantage over the Spanish team!
And if it is only one goal behind, then the pressure on Villarreal will be much less.

Now the score of 0:2 makes it difficult for engineers to make decisions.

Press out to attack and try to get an away goal?If the score becomes 1:2, it will be more beneficial to Villarreal. They only need a 1:0 victory at home.

But the risk of doing so is also great-to score goals, they must increase their investment in offense, which will inevitably reduce the team's defensive strength. After all, the number of players on the field is limited and fixed.The more troops you put into defense, the fewer are involved in attack.Conversely, the more people you attack, the fewer people defend.

When there are fewer people, many problems are likely to occur.

For example, it is easy to be scored by the opponent.

So in the end, it is very likely that I haven't scored a goal yet, but Bayern Munich scored the goal first.

You must know that Rong's speed is very fast, Villarreal presses forward to attack, and the space behind him...is simply a natural racetrack for Rong Guang, allowing him to gallop freely.

In the end, Pellegrini made a decision. He decided to carry out a "limited" counterattack on the basis of a solid defense.

That is to say, only when the opportunity is particularly good, more troops will be invested in the attack, otherwise the defense will continue, and only two or three people will try to attack Bayern Munich's defense.

This is a compromise that reflects Pellegrini's mentality of struggling and hesitating when making this decision.Want to attack, but don't want to lose the ball.

But how can there be such a perfect thing in the world?

So the result is that Villarreal neither scored an away goal nor continued to keep clean sheets.

Towards the end of the game, Schweinsteiger headed in front of the penalty area to score the ball into Villarreal's goal for the third time.

Now, even the suspense of the second round is over!

Just after Schweinsteiger scored, Rongguang was replaced by Santa Cruz.

He was treated with a standing ovation from all the Bayern Munich fans.

In this game, the glory of scoring twice is definitely the biggest contributor. Without his timely goal, no one knows what the final game will be like.

Fortunately, we are honored!
This is what many people think at this time.

In the first two seasons, they did not win, so he could only watch Werder Bremen excel in the domestic league.

But now, it has been replaced by Bayern Munich fans to enjoy the glorious privileges.

They have a blast!

At the post-match press conference, Magath also expressed this view.

"We entered the game a bit slowly, and the players were not very focused. The opponent played very well, so we were dangerous for a while. But at this time, Rong scored and the whole team returned to normal. Rong's goal is very important. Football is a collective sport. I don't want to put the credit or role of one individual on the team as a whole... But I still have to say: Thank God, Rong is our player!"

And Pellegrini also said: "We were almost able to take the lead. Once we get the lead, the situation will definitely become different. Our tactics are right, there is no problem. It's just... It's a pity that we didn't win."

When the Chilean spread his hands and spoke in Spanish, he had a rather helpless expression on his face.

Yes, besides being helpless, what else can I do?

A manager, tactically right, who did everything he could.

But there are some things he still can't control.

That's the flash of talent in a talented player.

Of course, he can use some means - tactical and technical - to curb the performance of the opponent's core players, but even if he can strictly restrict the opponent for 89 minutes, it is difficult to match the opponent's 1-minute talent flash.

As long as 1 minute, the genius can put his well-prepared tactics in vain.

This is something that makes the head coach very helpless and discouraged.

There really isn't much they can do.When the game starts, in many cases, whether they can win has little to do with their tactical arrangements, but more to do with the performance of the players.

Once the opponent has a player who performs better than they expected, then the game may undergo earth-shaking changes.

"Fortunately we have him!"

After the game, the German "Bild" used such a title, and the photo used the moment when Rong Guang scored the first goal.

Anyone who watched yesterday's game will know what they're talking about just by glancing at the headline.

Yes, luckily we have him!
Timo Brower was silent in this game.

Because there is nothing dark about Rongguang's performance.

The Chinese media naturally started a new round of touting.

Chinese fans are used to it, but they still follow this routine—as long as Rongguang has an outstanding performance in the game, they will look forward to seeing how the Chinese media reports after the game, especially the European media reports summarized by browsing Chinese websites on the Internet.

That's the coolest.

Seeing those authoritative European media who used to feel particularly cold, scrambling to praise the glory, all kinds of surprises and exclamations, Chinese fans feel very cool.

There is quite a feeling that the former princess is now their concubine.

After playing the Villarreal game, Bayern Munich was tied 2:2 at home by Cologne in the league.

The most dazzling person in this game is Cologne teenager Lukas Podolski.

He scored twice in the game to help Cologne draw with Bayern Munich 2:2 away.

But anyone who watched the game based on the timing will think that Bayern Munich drew with Cologne at home...

Two goals from Podolski gave Koln an away lead.

No.605 minutes, Magath put on glory.

After Rong Guang came on the stage, he used a personal breakthrough in the second minute of No.80 to create a murderous intention.At that time, the entire Cologne defense line rushed over and surrounded him.

Because everyone knows how powerful he is.

At this moment, he passed the football!
Glory spread the football among the crowd!
Lucas Sutton slapped the horse and stabbed the football into the goal with no one defending at all!
2: 2!

Bayern Munich "draw" Cologne in this way...

After the game, many media praised Poldowski's performance, while the Munich media questioned Magath's employment.

"In the first round against Villarreal, Bayern Munich had already defeated their opponents 3-0. It can be said that they have advanced ahead of schedule. There is no need to save energy for the second round and let Rong sit on the bench. Rong can start this game... If Rong starts, there is no suspense for Bayern Munich to beat Cologne at home..."

"It is said that Magath did this because he was worried that Rong would be injured... I think Magath's protection of Rong has reached a perverted level-Rong is not a flower in a greenhouse, and needs such careful care..."

"...It's not that rotations are not allowed, but rotations must be done with purpose. Some positions obviously cannot be rotated... For example, Rong's position does not need to be rotated. His physical strength is fine, and he rarely gets injured. So why rotate him?"

In the eyes of these media, if Magath does not rotate Rongguang, but lets Rongguang continue to start in this game, then in this game, Bayern Munich will not be tied by a team like Cologne.

It won't let that Podolsky show off.

But the clones don't think they're taking advantage.

"If it hadn't been for the honor, we should have taken away a victory in the away game. I regret that I didn't do this... So although I personally scored two goals, it is insignificant in front of the team's results..." Podolski said a little annoyed when he was interviewed by the media after the game.

This young kid has a bit of a "newborn calf is not afraid of tigers". When his teammates are happy for the away draw with Bayern Munich, he frowned to express his dissatisfaction.

Think about it too, if it weren't for the glory, he would have become the hero who led Cologne to defeat Bayern Munich in the away game, that would be a real fame in the first battle!

Before that, the situation was favorable to Cologne, but when Rong Guang came on the field, the situation changed—it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a sudden change.

Driven by Rong Guang, Bayern Munich regained their rhythm and initiative. Before, they were forced to be in a hurry by Cologne. Later, when they wanted to attack, they couldn't find the direction and rhythm.

After Rong Guang played, the most important role was to give Bayern Munich's offense a direction.

This direction is the glory, where the glory is, where the football will go.

And it can be clearly seen that when Rong Guang played, the Bayern Munich players obviously had more confidence in the offense, and they knew how to play.

If it weren't for the last time, Bayern Munich could completely reverse it.

That's why the rest of the Cologne players thought it was a big deal for them to draw against Bayern Munich.

And it was precisely because of the contrast between before Rong Guang played and after Rong Guang played that Podolski felt uncomfortable.

Anyone faced with this "cooked duck can fly" situation will be upset...
