Chapter 111: Double-teamed by five people, this treatment is comparable to Messi!
"Haha, this kid is in trouble!"
In the stands, De Visser saw that Werder Bremen's attack was blocked, and after Lin Quan passed the ball back, a smile appeared on his face.
Six months ago, Chelsea competed with Bayern Munich in the Champions League final. Everyone in Chelsea still remembers the strong strength of Bayern's midfield and backcourt.
This season, the addition of Javi Martinez has further strengthened Bayern's midfield and backcourt.
Coupled with a player like Mandzukic who is aggressive in defense and brave in offense, Bayern's impact is even more exaggerated than last season.
In this game, Werder Bremen is in a very bad situation.
However, the more this happened, the more he became curious about how the No. 10 player of Werder Bremen would perform in adversity? …
If the several attempts in the first ten minutes only made Lin Quan suspect that Bayern's tactics today were aimed at him.
As the game progressed, he became more and more determined that the opponent's defensive tactics today must have been carefully designed.
After passing Ribery on the wing again, Lin Quan was intercepted by Martinez again.
This time Lin Quan did not hesitate and did not give the opponent a chance for physical confrontation. After accelerating, he dunked the ball three times in a row, causing Martinez to temporarily lose his defensive position.
Seizing this opportunity, he immediately dribbled the ball towards the opponent's penalty area.
But Bayern's left-back Alaba caught up and blocked him.
Behind Alaba, Boateng has already taken position, ready to assist his teammates to end his attack at any time.
Martinez was right behind Lin Quan, actively chasing back.
Lin Quan didn't have time to get past Alaba, so he moved sideways with the ball, trying to create more space and look for opportunities to shoot or break through.
Alaba is a left back. Usually, when the opponent leaves his defensive area, in order to avoid losing his defensive position, he will choose to give up marking and hand over the marking task to his teammates.
But this time, although the two central defenders Boateng and Dante had already rushed forward, the left back Alaba did not go back, but followed Lin Quan like a piece of taffy.
Lin Quan was very surprised. Didn't Bayern need a left back? He looked up at Bayern's left backcourt and found that Ribery had run back at some point and temporarily replaced Alaba as Bayern's left back.
At this time, Martinez caught up with Lin Quan from behind.
Another defensive midfielder, Gustavo, also came over and blocked Lin Quan's passing route.
Lin Quan was suddenly trapped in a double-team by five opponents!
The ball couldn't be passed and there was no passing route, so he could only choose to dribble the ball forward and force a breakthrough.
He first dodged Alaba's interception with a fried meatball, then pulled the ball and turned around to avoid Dante's steal, but before he could get past Boateng, Martinez pushed him down from behind.
It was a foul outside the penalty area and the referee awarded a free kick but no card.
Hama had an apologetic smile on his face. He reached out and pulled Lin Quan up from the ground in a friendly manner, and patted him on the back.
He had actually shown mercy just now.
If Lin Quan was not his teammate in the national team, he would have made the tackle long ago and would not have given the opponent any chance to break through.
Lin Quan was very depressed, as he had experienced being double-teamed many times.
However, he had never experienced being double-teamed by five people. This kind of treatment was rare even for Messi.
Especially when the opponent is of Bayern Munich's level, is it necessary to make such a big fuss just to deal with a young player? For Werder Bremen's free kick, Lin Quan and De Bruyne discussed how to kick.
De Bruyne also played very depressed in this game, and he was also closely marked by the opponent.
Gustavo and Scholes were always by his side, limiting his receiving and passing of the ball. If he stuck to the ball a little more, he might be intercepted.
Under such tight defense from his opponent, De Bruyne, who was weak in physical confrontation, performed poorly.
His passing success rate dropped a lot in this game, and he also made three turnovers.
Fortunately, his position was relatively forward, and when the ball was lost, the players behind him quickly organized a counterattack, preventing Bayern from making any threatening shots.
Two equally depressed people stood in front of the football, you looked at me and I looked at you.
Lin Quan judged the distance between the penalty spot and the goal and chose to give the opportunity to De Bruyne.
After a run-up, De Bruyne chose to kick the ball. The football flew over the wall of people, suddenly dropped, and flew towards the lower left corner of Bayern's goal.
But before the ball entered the goal line, a large hand appeared in front of the football and knocked the ball out.
Neuer! After Bayern's goalkeeper saved the opponent's shot, he roared with dominance! The fans at the Allianz Arena applauded their goalkeeper for his outstanding performance.
Neuer's performance has been getting better and better this season.
After being tied by Werder Bremen away from home, he kept eight clean sheets in the next 11 league games and conceded only seven goals in half a season.
Many times, before the opponent could threaten the goal, he would be actively attacking and finish off the opponent in the penalty area or even outside the penalty area.
His large range of activities also earned him the title of gatekeeper.
Just looking at the area where he moves, he is not a goalkeeper, but a defender who lags behind to defend.
This goal was not kicked by Lin Quan, but after Neuer saved the penalty, his eyes looked at Lin Quan.
This time, I won’t let you score from me again! Central defender Dante discussed with several teammates and felt that this ball was still very threatening.
If Neuer hadn't been in good shape and hadn't reacted quickly, we might have really lost the ball.
"We can't give the opponent such a good position for the set-piece. The opponent's No. 6 is a free-kick expert. Don't give him any chances!"
Dante is experienced and knows that after limiting Werder Bremen's conventional offensive means.
Long shots and set pieces will be their biggest threat to Bayern, and long shots can be effectively curbed by protecting the dangerous area in front of the penalty area.
As for set pieces, this requires players to be smarter when defending.
If you must commit a foul, do it in a less dangerous position. Don't wait until the opponent reaches the front of the penalty area or even inside the penalty area before committing a foul.
That's not a foul, that's a crime!
Werder Bremen's corner kick, De Bruyne made a penalty kick.
Phil Krug was unable to outsmart Boateng, as the latter was too strong physically and also gave Phil a push before jumping.
Phil suffered the consequences of his youth and inexperience. If Arnautovic was on the court, he would definitely use his butt to nudge the opponent before jumping, so that he could gain the upper hand in the header.
After Bayern got the ball, they quickly launched a fast break, and Ribery dribbled the ball towards Werder Bremen's half.
Many of Werder Bremen's players were in the opponent's half and did not have time to withdraw.
This is a great opportunity for Bayern!

Ribery was unguarded on the wing, and he did not choose to dribble the ball down the wing and make a cross, but instead cut inside towards Werder Bremen's penalty area.
Werder Bremen currently has only three defensive players in the backcourt, while Bayern also has three men on the counterattack.
The two sides formed a three-on-three situation!
Seeing Ribery cutting into the dangerous area, captain Fritz rushed up immediately.
Ribery did not waste time trying to dribble past the defense, but quickly passed the ball to Robben on the other side, who then passed it to Ribery.
Ribery, who had already run out of space, could have shot directly after receiving the ball. As a last resort, Werder Bremen's central defender Papastathopoulos had to abandon Mandzukic and step forward to intercept.
Seeing the opponent's central defender move, Ribery made a lob pass, and the ball flew over Papastathopoulos' head and fell into the penalty area.
At the same time, Mandzukic pushed away the defender who was marking him, jumped high, and smashed the flying football with his head like a god of war.
The ball whizzed towards Werder Bremen's net. Milicz tried hard to make a save, but still failed to change the fate of his own goal being breached.
In the 32nd minute of the first half, Bayern took advantage of a counterattack opportunity, with Ribery assisting Mandzukic to score a goal, changing the score to 1:0!
The Allianz Arena turned into a sea of celebration, with 60,000 Bayern fans celebrating the goal with great joy.
On the visiting team's side, 5,000 Werder Bremen fans stared at their goal in a daze, each of them with a worried look on their face.
The team played very passively in the past 30 minutes and was almost completely restricted in offense.
Apart from De Bruyne's free kick, there were no threatening attacks.
Lin Quan did try several long shots from outside the penalty area, but due to the interference of Martinez, these long shots failed to pose a threat.
One of the kicks even fired an anti-aircraft gun and flew into the stands.
This kind of outrageous shot is very rare in Lin Quan's body.
Being behind in the score is not scary, it's just one goal. With the strong offensive power shown by Werder Bremen this season, there is still a chance to equalize or even reverse the situation.
But the team's proud offense seemed to be completely frozen in this game.
This is what worries the fans of the Parrot Army the most.
Without offense, Werder Bremen is nothing! In the live broadcast room, fans also noticed the abnormality of Werder Bremen: "What's going on? Lin Huang and De Bruyne seem to have no sound in this game?"
"They were restricted by Bayern's tactics!"
"Martinez was following Lin Quan the whole time during the game, and Lin Quan couldn't move freely in the front court."
"Yes, Bayern's defense is very targeted. They use Martinez as the main player and form a blockade area for Lin Quan in the front and back courts, which limits his activity area to the periphery of Bayern's left penalty area, making it difficult for him to threaten Bayern's penalty area."
"As for De Bruyne, his physical confrontation is a little lacking. Once the opponent actively engages in physical confrontation, he has a hard time holding the ball. Bayern's front and back midfielders have been doing this all the time, which has essentially cut off the connection between him and Lin Quan."
"Didn't you notice? From the first half till now, there hasn't been a single direct interaction between De Bruyne and Lin Quan."
"Hiss, that seems to be the case. Then how do we break Bayern's defensive system?"
"There's no better way. If you have to, you have to fight them in the midfield. Your midfield is stronger than theirs. If you defeat them in the midfield, you can control the situation and help Lin Quan get out of trouble."
"Indeed, but Bayern's midfield is too strong!"
"With this level of midfield toughness, even Barcelona can't play well!"
"Don't be so mean to the Bayern fans above. Barcelona easily scored 4 goals against Bayern before and swept them!"
"Haha, what year are those? How dare you compare them with the games from the 2008-2009 season? The current Bayern is a level stronger than the Bayern Munich that was in a period of transition, right?"
"That's right, this Bayern is obviously stronger than four years ago, but what about Barcelona? The old lady's New Year is getting worse every year!"
"Haha, the fans of King Nan are really good at talking nonsense. You only dare to fry fish in the fish pond of the Bundesliga. If you have the guts, come and compete with me, Sa, openly in the Champions League!"
"Barcelona fans, don't be complacent. Don't meet me, or Bayern will teach you a lesson!"
"Haha, I'm looking forward to it. I hope Bayern will be beaten 4:0 again at Camp Nou!"
The topic was quickly diverted by the fans of Barcelona and Bayern, but the onlookers were not afraid of making trouble and gave them a serious analysis:
"Barcelona and Bayern both finished first in their groups, so there's no chance for them to meet in the round of 16, but there might be a chance in the quarter-finals or semi-finals!"
