Green Dragon

Chapter 264 The most wretched Bayern

Conceding two goals in just 4 minutes in the opening game, the morale of the Schalke 04 team suffered an extremely serious blow.

For a moment, they didn't know whether they should stabilize their defense or launch a counterattack.

Head coach Rangnick clenched his fists tightly, but he was at war with heaven and man in his heart.

Since taking over the team in March this year, he has successfully helped Schalke, which was deeply in the relegation zone at the time, to retain a seat in the Bundesliga. A double harvest at the level and at the competitive level.

In the summer, they retained almost all the main players of the team-except for the captain Neuer who had been sold by the top management-and added to the lineup. Obviously, the goal of the new season will never be relegation.

Rangnick's coaching ability has also been confirmed in practice:

In the first official game of the new season, they defeated the Hornet Dortmund and won the German Super Cup. After that, they also achieved 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in various competitions, and the league ranking entered the upper reaches. The German Cup was successfully promoted, and the Europa League also entered the group stage with a big score of 8-2 in two rounds, which reversed the decline of last season.

It seems that Schalke is in a good situation, but only Rangnick, who is in it, knows that the club is far from being as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

Like those things that happen in all clubs, as the head coach, there are extremely serious conflicts between him and the top management-about transfers, about tactical style, about the main players...

If he can defeat Bayern in this game, perhaps within the club, he will gain higher prestige and greater voice. Even if it is a draw with his opponent, Rangnick will also gain more voices of support.

But if it fails, those high-level officials will not hesitate to add insult to injury...

So he finally made a decision.

Rangnick let go of his fist, and swung his right hand vigorously in the air:
"All-out attack!"
-
Heynckes laughed.

He heard the voice he wanted most from the opponent's mouth.

Schalke wants to fight against himself?

sorry!We're going to fight back!
-
Bayern's formation completed the contraction in a short period of time, forming a tight defensive system in their own half.

Although Müller had little effect on the defensive end and Kroos was a typical defender with eyes, Schalke was still cautious and treading on eggshells when passing Bayern's first line of defense.

Because Bayern's first line of defense... is a defensive striker!

"It can be seen that Raul and Huntelaar are very cautious when holding the ball. They were scared by Long Shute's sudden attack just now..."

Duan Yixuan commented on the two biggest stars of Schalke, feeling very relaxed and happy.

Tao Wei was as happy as he was:
"I remember that in last season's Eredivisie and Champions League matches, Long Shute, who was still playing for Ajax at the time, often staged lightning attacks. I have suffered a lot, as an opponent who has fought against, Schalke shouldn't be so careless!"
-
Schalke dare not relax their carelessness now, and they use all their energy to launch a fierce attack on Bayern.

This time is different from the last UEFA Champions League semi-final. Schalke scored 2 away goals in the first leg, so they were a bit reluctant to make progress after returning to the home court, which led to a comeback by Ajax, but This time they decided to attack with all their might.

Raul's physical fitness is fine, Huntelaar has gradually found his form in recent rounds, Farfan is still vigorous, and the three generals lead Schalke's offensive line to launch a fierce attack on Bayern!

Facts have proved that if Schalke really fights for life, even Bayern's defense will be under tremendous pressure, not to mention...their defenders are always a little unreliable.

But this game is okay, Heynckes did not use his favorite general Van Buyten, but put the more energetic Boateng in the middle, and partnered with Bader to form a double gate, Lahm and Raffini Ya escorts the left and right ends, no matter in height or speed, he can compete with the opponent's striker.

Gustavo in the middle is undoubtedly a strong player on the defensive end, and the vice-captain Schweinsteiger is also unequivocal. In addition, Long Shute, who has a deep retreat, and although his defensive ability is insufficient, he has no fighting attitude. It has to be said that Ribery, this midfield defense is enough to make Schalke fall into a quagmire.

Raul was once again entangled by Longshute.

Originally, these two players would never overlap, but Long Shute found him.

The Lord of the Rings, who has entered the final years of his career, met the bloody Long Ritian, and the two sides announced the outcome almost after the first confrontation.

Raul Kong has a wealth of experience, but he can't get rid of this young man who has exploded himself in terms of explosive power, speed, reaction, physical fitness, balance, and confrontation!

Long Shute... that is a man who can defend one-on-one with top superstars such as Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka, Ibrahimovic, Suarez, etc. without losing the wind!

What makes Raul even more humiliating is that the red No. 8...after successfully defending himself for 5 minutes...has dropped the historical top scorer in European wars to defend his old Ajax teammate Huntra Already!

What does he mean... the Dutch monkey deserves more attention than himself? !
Raul is angry!

But he is helpless!
He is still old after all.

At the age of 34, he is no longer the omnipotent boy in white at the Bernabeu. His feet can no longer move the violin. Whether it is Badstuber or Boateng, as long as they are close to the defense, Raul's Spanish bullfighting There is no way to dance lightly.
-
"Oh!"

Raul fell to the front of Bayern's big penalty area.

He struggled to get up from the turf, but felt powerless for a while.

Under Boateng's defense, he couldn't even break in casually? !

He could only watch as Boateng stretched out his thigh and kicked the football that was originally passed to him to the side.
-
Boateng's first choice to clear the siege is of course Lahm on the left.

Ram didn't take the ball, he directly handed the ball to Ribery, who was more than ten meters away.

In the absence of Robben, King Allianz has indisputable influence on the field, especially when the other sharp knife dragon special defense is too deep, he is the only force in Bayern's counterattack.

"Franck Ribery's one-man assault! Farfan to defend him! Passed! Atsuto Uchida! Passed! King Allianz turned Schalke 04's right corridor into a green passage that belongs only to him! Beautiful !"

From Duan Yixuan's exclamations and praises, Ribery single-handedly rushed towards Schalke's half, Farfan and Uchida Atsuto were easily left behind in his charge!

Papadopoulos was frantically chasing him back, and Hewedes and Matip also quickly approached this side. In the penalty area not far away, the panicked expression of Schalke's new goalkeeper Ferman has also changed. panoramic view...

As the core of Bayern's frontcourt attack, Ribery's goals are not as prolific and efficient as Robben, but he always has a way to create threats when facing defenders and goalkeepers.

So what about three-teaming?
He has at least 4 ways to form a shot.

Forcibly breaking through, making an emergency stop and changing direction, cutting inside and pulling horizontally, using rhythm to disrupt the defensive rhythm... He can all get opportunities!
Franck Ribery did not choose the first two. After all, he is also a 28-year-old player. He will no longer be as violent as he was when he first debuted. Stopping and changing directions in an emergency will also damage his knees. As for cutting inside...no one compares Robben knows this trick even more.

So he is going to adopt the rhythm change that he is better at.

Just as Ribery's shoulders sank, he was about to make a simple but practical feint, but his eyelids suddenly twitched!
He saw an afterimage in the corner of his eye!
The afterimage of red!
That afterimage is advancing furiously in the middle!

That area... was completely empty!
In just 0.2 seconds, Ribery made a decision.

His shoulders continued to tilt to the left, and he assumed a posture of forcing a breakthrough from the left, which attracted Hewedes and Papadopoulos to slide shovels at the front of the penalty area like crazy, forming a formation in front of Schalke's goal. Two Great Walls of sliding shovels...

But none of them could shovel anything.

King Allianz gave up being a hero after galloping his horse for 50 meters!

Ribery pushed the ball diagonally and became a spectator!
He watched the red afterimage "rumble" into everyone's field of vision from behind, and then rushed into Schalke 04's defenseless restricted area!

"This is... No. 8! Long Shute!"

Even Duan Yixuan couldn't believe his eyes!
He was at least 15 meters behind Ribery, but in the blink of an eye, he appeared in Schalke's half? !
Even though Ribery took a little time to connect the two, but...

There are no "buts" in Schalke goalkeeper Felmann's mind, which is now blank.

His eyes saw the red number 8 swinging his right leg again.

Then his ears heard another "rustling" sound from the net behind him.

Officially rated by UEFA as a five-star football club at the Schalke Stadium, at this moment...

No more sound!
