Fame with a ball

On April 4th, Juventus went to Munich, Germany, to compete with the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals.

From the early arrival in Munich to prepare for the game, and the game is about to start, none of the reporters was able to successfully interview Juventus players or coaches, especially those who flew from China to report the first game after Lin Zhigao was banned. Reporters complained loudly, "Damn Capello!" or "Mystery again, this is not the Champions League final!"

In contrast, Bayern Munich head coach Joseph Heinkertz, who is willing to be interviewed by reporters and has a very kind attitude, is very kind: "Juventus is a century-old giant, and so is Bayern. This is a match between a giant and a giant. In the contest, I hope that our two sides can play with dignity like we have played many times before, and contribute a wonderful game to the fans."

Immediately, a reporter asked him: "In history, Juventus and Bayern have faced each other no less than 10 times, including 6 times in the Champions League, and Bayern Munich has only won 2 times. Can you predict the score of this game? Or, is Bayern Munich confident of winning Juventus at home?"

Heinkerz is personable: "Our last confrontation with Juventus was in the 09-10 season. Compared with that time, they have changed a lot. Of course, Bayern has also changed a lot, so we use the past results to compare. It's wrong now. All I can say is that this is our home ground and no team can easily win at the Allianz Arena."

The series of interviews that Joseph Heincketz accepted before the game all performed in a personable manner, neither humble nor overbearing, which made many media once optimistic that Bayern Munich would defeat the Serie A overlord Juventus at the Allianz Arena at their home court - although in recent years Because of Dortmund's strong rise, Bayern's record in the domestic league is not good, but in the Champions League, Bayern's record has always been good, even in the Bundesliga, it is impossible for a second team to appear in the European arena in a short time Go as far as Bayern Munich.

……

From a distance, the Allianz Arena at this moment looks like a huge ruby ​​located in the north of Munich.

The most modern stadium in Europe, costing more than 3 million euros, can accommodate 66000 fans to watch the game at the same time. Allianz is the pride of all Munich people and even Germans. It is also the home of two city teams Bayern Munich and Munich 1806. At home, because of the advanced plastic air cushion wrapping exterior wall technology, the Allianz Arena can change color at night - when Bayern Munich's home team is fighting, the outside of the stadium will be lit red by lights, if it is the home team of Munich 1806 game, the outer wall turns blue.

When Lin Zhigao entered the stadium, he did not receive much applause from the fans. Firstly, it was because this is Bayern Munich’s home stadium. Second, it was also because the cost for fans to follow the game was too high for cross-border competitions. This time, he came to Juventus in Germany with the team. There are only more than 2000 fans, and the cheers must be no match for more than 6 Bayern fans.

On the contrary, the flashing lights in the reporter area were all connected together, and some Chinese reporters shouted loudly in Mandarin: "Lin Zhigao, look here!"

Liu Jianhong was even more excited and said into the microphone: "I finally saw Lin Zhigao warming up on the field again!"

"It's really been a long time. Although it's only 20 days, I don't think it's too much to use the word long time." Zhang Lu said with a smile: "He was missing in the previous rounds of Serie A, and I didn't have any enthusiasm for the commentary. gone."

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides in this game. Bayern Munich is playing a 4231 defensive counterattack formation. Goalkeeper Neuer, defenders Lahm, Boateng, Badstuber, Rafinha, midfielder Schweinsteiger, Gustavo, Franck Ribery, Müller, Arjen Robben up front and Gomez up front."

Looking at Juventus' starting formation, Liu Jianhong smiled: "Juventus is playing a 352 formation this time. Reverse the tactics of ordinary home and away teams! You must know that 352 is generally a tactic used by the stronger side of two teams with a big difference in strength. But Bayern Munich is obviously not a weak team!"

"I think Capello's tactical arrangement is very meaningful." Zhang Lu interjected: "The hesitant 352 formation has a large number of midfielders, so it is easy to actively organize attacks, steals, and even siege opponents. If this If the striker is strong at the time, continuous attacks are inevitable. As we all know, Lin Zhigao's suspension is finally over, and his long-suppressed desire to score goals, coupled with such tactics, may have a bonus effect."

The commentator's guess was correct. From the very beginning of the game, Lin Zhigao showed an extremely strong desire to attack.However, because the two teams were more cautious in defending after the opening, it was not until the 16th minute that Lin Zhigao had his first shot.

The tentative attack started from Bayern Munich.

In the 14th minute, Bayern defender Lahm made a long pass from the right. Franck Ribery headed the ball wide. Gustavo saved the ball and ran to the Juventus half.

Bayern's defense pressed up in time, but the ball was intercepted by Marchisio at the front of the penalty area.

Marchisio passed the ball to Pepe, and Pepe made a super long pass in the middle. The football directly penetrated the empty Bayern midfield and flew into the penalty area!

Lin Zhigao immediately started near the center line, took the ball behind the center line, and broke into the penalty area!

The Italian commentator shouted excitedly: "This ball is not offside! This ball is not offside!"

Rafinha and other defenders hurried back to defend, but Bayern's goal was at stake!

Lin Zhigao has formed a single-handed momentum, and only the goalkeeper is left in front of him!

Neuer ran out of the goal line, met Lin Zhigao, and then jumped forward with his whole body, aiming at the football at Lin Zhigao's feet!

"This is a world-class save!" Liu Jianhong explained nervously: "But...he missed it! Lin Zhigao cleverly stopped the ball when he hit Neuer! Then he turned around and ran away After taking two steps, Lin Zhigao kicked the door!"

Neuer jumped into the air, gnawed a mouthful of grass clippings, and tried his best to turn around, trying to straighten his body and trip Lin Zhigao, but it was too late!

Lin Zhigao opened the door of Bayern with the most unskilled shot!

"The ball has been scored!!!"

Lin Zhigao opened his mouth excitedly, stretched his arms, ran from the goal back to the center line, and then slid on his knees.

The other Juventus players had already come up to meet him. Pepe slapped Lin Zhigao on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "It is easier for us to score goals when you are on the court. This is at the Allianz Stadium!"

Neuer's face was ashen, and he sat cross-legged in front of the goal, covering his face with his hands.

Liu Jianhong sighed: "Neuer has done everything he can, but Lin Zhigao's goal came too suddenly, he couldn't stop it!"

……

It is unacceptable for Bayern fans to be preempted by the visiting team in their own stadium!

The boos of more than 6 people were so loud that they almost overturned the Allianz Arena, and the cheers of thousands of Juventus fans were like a drop of water falling into the sea, which was indistinct.

Bayern fans want to use their momentum to make their enemies fearful and terrified.

However, how can a team that has seen the Bernabeu home battle be afraid of the momentum that is almost half weak?

The Juventus players continued to play calmly, playing a variety of organization and cooperation, looking for opportunities for the second attack.

In the 21st minute of the game, Juventus scored again!

In terms of offense, Bayern Munich has always been stronger on the side than the center, so Juventus beat the weak with the strong, and this time they will start from the center!

Vidal took a diagonal shot and passed the ball to the left. Pepe received the pass and deliberately killed dozens of seconds. After attracting enough opponents, he suddenly kicked the ball and made a pass!

Lin Zhigao jumped in immediately, received the pass one second faster than Robben, and then immediately turned around and dribbled the ball to make a breakthrough!

Seeing this, Bayern defender Lahm immediately turned and returned to defense!

Ram is petite and has an obvious advantage in speed. After he turned around, he accelerated suddenly, and even almost rushed to the same level as Lin Zhigao.

The sense of crisis increased, Lin Zhigao glanced at Ram's position out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly started to speed up!

Ram's nerves tightened, and he immediately started to speed up.

After Lin Zhigao accelerated for a few seconds, he suddenly changed direction again!

The flexible Bayern defender had to follow up immediately.

In this way, the two ran into the Bayern penalty area one after the other.

Lin Zhigao's sometimes changing direction and sometimes speeding up the throwing mode made Lahm feel miserable. When he barely chased into the penalty area, his ankle already felt a bit unbearable.

Cursing Lin Zhigao's "deceitful technique" in his heart, Lahm prepared to find the right time to steal the ball.

At this moment, Lin Zhigao suddenly passed the ball!

He passed it to Vucinic who appeared in Bayern's penalty area at some point. Even Lahm, who was focused on confronting Lin Zhigao, didn't notice when Vucinic came to the penalty area!

After Vucinic received the pass, he didn't play any fancy skills. He directly lifted his right foot and volleyed from a small angle 10 meters from the goal!

Neuer flew to block the ball, but the ball passed through his armpit and went straight into the net!

"GOOOOAL!"

The Italian commentator was full of praise: "It is a seamless passing cooperation, and the tacit understanding among Juventus strikers is unparalleled! Vucinic's shot angle is very good. Although the skill is lacking, luck has ensured that Juventus Tuss can continue to lead in points! Moreover, Lin's performance also surprised me. I thought he would get all the chances to shoot himself today, but—”

"Lin used his own actions to prove to the world that his speed advantage is not only used for offense, he can do both assists and defense!"

Before the end of the first half, Juventus had already led by two goals. Everyone on the coaching bench smiled. They didn't expect these two crucial goals to come so easily.

Behind the coach's bench is the fans' stand. At this moment, some emotional Bayern fans are shouting angrily: "Fucking coach, what kind of bullshit tactics did you arrange? The goal is about to be smashed by the opponent!"

"If you don't score any more goals, you will be smashed to death!" "This game is so fucking useless!" Along with the scolding, some mineral water bottles or horns were smashed into the ceiling above the coach's bench, making a loud "crackling" sound.

These voices reached the ears of Bayern coach Heinkertz, making him extremely uncomfortable.But at this moment, he can't continue to feel that his fans are hard to serve. It is a big taboo to put too much personal emotion into the game. Heinkertz must prepare for a change-since the defensive counterattack is very important to the current Juventus. Tus is invalid, so what kind of tactics can ensure Bayern's unbeaten home game?

……

The first half ended with Juventus leading by two points. During the intermission, Capello told everyone in the locker room: "Although Bayern Munich's current situation is very serious, the possibility of them continuing to stick to the end in the second half is very slim. The German media and Bayern fans will tear up their head coach after the game. Of course, this is an exaggeration. But What I want to say is that Bayern can't wait for such a defeat at home, so in the second half, their tactics will definitely change, Heinkertz is desperate, and it is not impossible for Bayern to play against us!"

The Juventus defenders felt a lot of pressure.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Bayern Munich showed its fans the determination to attack!

In the 49th minute, Schweinsteiger made a long pass from the center and drove the ball to Ribery who was inserted from the wing.

Franck Ribery used his superb technique at his feet to dribble past people, then passed the ball to Thomas Müller at the front of the penalty area.

Thomas Muller raised his right foot 10 meters in front of the goal!

At this time, Lin Zhigao, who was assisting the team to return to the defense, just ran behind Muller and was hesitating whether to hook the football, but saw that the thin big man in front of him had already shot the football quickly, and then he didn't know what to do. Is it slipping under the feet, or the center of gravity is unstable, after the body swayed left and right, it suddenly fell backwards!

Lin Zhigao, who was standing less than one meter behind him, had a bad luck. He was caught off guard and was hit head-on by the back of Mu Le's head, and almost fell to the ground with him.

Fortunately, Muller was not heavy. Lin Zhigao gritted his teeth, took a step back with his right foot, put his toes on the turf, pushed forward with both hands, and barely arched Muller, who was out of balance.

Muller was flailing his hands in the air, tilting his head back, trying to see who was holding him up.

From the corner of Lin Zhigao's eyes, he caught a glimpse of the referee yelling a whistle and walking towards this side. He immediately pushed Mu Le away like a frightened bird, jumped back three meters, and raised his hands at the same time. Looking at the referee with a particularly innocent look, to the effect: Look at how far I am from him, I didn't foul!

The referee looked at Lin Zhigao's expression speechlessly, nodded after a while, and waved his hand to signal the game to continue.

Mu Le almost fell on the back of his head just now, but this time he was pushed by Lin Zhigao, and he almost fell into the mud again. He finally stood up straight, and after heaved a sigh of relief, he showed Lin Zhigao an excessive With an innocent smile, showing ten teeth: "Thank you."

Lin Zhigao breathed out like the rest of his life after a catastrophe, waved at Mu Le, and then ran to the middle circle.

Liu Jianhong was amused by this scene and couldn't stop laughing: "Lin Zhigao has to be thankful that Mu Le is notoriously thin, otherwise, with his height, it would be normal for him to grow to [-] kg. One hit on the body, not only a serious injury but also an internal injury!"

Muller's unstable center of gravity before the shot still affected his scoring state-the shot directly hit the crossbar and bounced out because of the high angle.

The morale of Bayern Munich has been hit hard.

Bayern coach Heinkertz stood on the sidelines, waving his hands to encourage the Bayern players. The players finally regained their morale and continued to attack.

Schweinsteiger pulled the ball to the wing, and Ribéry and Robben made a few side-to-side crossovers, successfully tearing apart part of Juventus' defensive strength.

Gomez took the opportunity to plug in, looking for opportunities at the front of the penalty area.

Franck Ribery passed the ball to Gomez, but was snatched away by Barzagli who appeared halfway!

After getting the ball, Barzagli was a little ecstatic. He wanted to kick the ball back to the center, but he missed it because of his excitement!

Gomez's football sense is excellent. After football returned to Juventus's control, he was not in a hurry, but waited for the opportunity to stand aside and wait for the opportunity.

Now, this opportunity is waiting for him!

Taking advantage of Barzagli's step in the air, Gomez immediately stretched out his right foot and swiped it. After hooking the football away, he rushed forward without stopping, and then pushed the football into the net from a small angle 10 meters in front of the goal!

2: 1!

Shocking cheers immediately resounded in the Allianz Arena, and countless Bayern fans did not applaud the team from the bottom of their hearts until this moment.

The Bayern players feel that they only really see the hope of an equalizer from now on.

However, Juventus quickly extinguished this small spark of hope!

After being pulled back by the opponent, while the Bayern players were still immersed in a little joy, Juventus had already launched a quick counterattack!

Buffon threw the ball to Cáceres, and Cáceres made another long pass to Lin Zhigao!

After Lin Zhigao received the pass, he took a deep breath and came to the Bayern half in the blink of an eye like a gust of wind from the midfield!

More than half of the game time has already passed, and most of the players' physical strength has been exhausted. Now the players who can maintain the normal rhythm of the game on the court and actively fight are considered rare.

The one who can still run with the ball at high speed, and even run most of the court in one go?

That's a monster!

Many Bayern players watched Lin Zhigao run past him like Daoguang with their mouths open, and then they suddenly woke up and chased after him!

After chasing and chasing, Lin Zhigao began to change speed and turn to run again.

The Bayern defenders complained endlessly, and some players with slightly weak willpower were still seeking relief in their hearts: Whether it is passing or shooting, you are always good at it, choose one quickly, I really can't stand it...

Lin Zhigao seemed to have heard these calls, and when he was more than 20 meters away from the goal, he suddenly stopped.

Without any warning, he suddenly raised his right foot and hit the football hard with the back of his foot!

The football roared and flew towards the Bayern goal!

Neuer calculates the time to take off!

But when the football flew in front of Neuer, he found sadly that the shot was too fast, and it was too late for him to kick it!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Juventus has secured the victory! Lin scored twice!!!"

Up to now, there are only ten minutes left in the game, but there is still a gap of two goals between Bayern and Juventus. Juventus' defensive ability is world-renowned, so it is not an exaggeration for the commentator to say that the victory is sealed at this moment.

It stands to reason that the next ten minutes should enter garbage time, but to the surprise of all fans watching the game (except Bayern fans), the game is still very good, because whether it is Bayern Munich or Juventus , In the remaining games, the offensive football style is still maintained!

Juventus has tasted the sweetness of victory, hoping to take advantage of the momentum to take away one more away goal.

The reason why Bayern Munich has not given up so far is because they have always played German football, and the biggest feature of German football is tenacious will!

Until the 90th minute of the game, until the referee blew the whistle to indicate that stoppage time had begun, the Bayern players never gave up hope of attacking. It is a pity that God did not stand on their side today, but chose theirs. opponent!

Juventus take away a win from the Allianz Arena!
