Chapter 171 Robbie Robery World Cup Golden Boot Champion A strong opponent! (Fifth update)
"Okay, all the players have been assigned to their positions. Now I will introduce the starting lineups of the two teams."
"The team wearing red jerseys is Bayern. Heynckes arranged a classic 4-1-4-1 formation. The goalkeeper is: "
"Bayern continued with their usual formation and regular starting players."
"Alaba needs to rest for 1-2 weeks due to a back muscle strain, so today Bayern's starting right back is Rafinha, who has quite good footwork and ball-touching ability, but is always lacking in defense and helping the team attack. Perhaps this will pose a hidden danger to Bayern's defense."
"Manchester United are wearing the black away jersey. Mourinho has deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation. The goalkeeper is: "
“Same line-up as last time out against Liverpool, except Phil Jones is now on the right centre-back.”
"Xiaochu will be the starting left midfielder. In this game, he will face Kimmich, an equally young and excellent player. His transfer value this season is as high as 53 million euros."
"What kind of friction will there be between the two today? Who can continue his dominance on the wing?"
“I believe today’s wing confrontation will be very exciting!”
Zhan Jun's excited voice echoed in the LeTV Sports studio.
Manchester United's previous Champions League group matches were against unknown teams such as Basel and CSKA Moscow. Even when they entered the knockout stage, they were drawn against Sevilla, a team that had basically no star players.
But this game was completely different.
Bayern's lineup is full of stars and every player is famous.
"Robery" who once dominated the football world, Thomas Muller, the World Cup Golden Boot, Silver Boot, and Best Newcomer, Lewandowski, the emperor, and James Rodriguez, the Puskas Award winner. Each of these names is well-known.
Although today's game started at three in the morning, nearly ten million Chinese fans still flocked to the live broadcast room. They were all looking forward to Chu Feng competing with those superstars.
If there is one more beautiful goal, it will be enough to make them excited for several days.
They waited until everyone in the family fell asleep, then quietly slipped into the living room, turned on the TV and turned the volume down to the minimum.
Then he took out the midnight snack he had prepared long ago, as well as the Heineken beer he must buy once a year, and looked expectantly at the faces of the players flashing across the screen.
When the photographer pointed the camera at Chu Feng, they all clenched their fists at the same time.
The barrage on the screen fell like snowflakes. - [Come on, Xiao Chu! ] - [Bayern is not easy to play! Heynckes has won 11 consecutive European games! ] - [Bayern's lineup is not afraid of dense defense. Heynckes' midfield technical team is concentrated to play the threat of wing attack, and then create threats by collective forward insertion. ] - [Fortunately, Alaba did not play today, otherwise he could have blown up Manchester United's right side. ] - [But Bayern's defense is not very good. The defensive strength of the single defensive midfielder is limited. Martinez cannot give Kimmich enough help. Xiao Chu should be able to open up the situation on the wing. ] - [Don't underestimate Brother Ji, he is not the kind of stuff like Arnold! ] - [Kimmich's defense is too different from Lahm, so don't think too highly of him! ] - [I heard that Ribery has Chinese ancestry, is it true? ! ] - [According to rumors, rumors! He is a descendant of Zhu Yunwen, the eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang. ] - [.]
The view returns to the green field.
Muller guessed the direction of the coin and chose the right to kick off.
After the players from both sides were ready, the referee Danny Mekelly blew the whistle and the game officially began.
Beep! Bayern's formation moved forward frantically, and as the ball continued to move, the players also kept moving.
The Manchester United players decisively retreated to an area of 30 meters, actively squeezing the space for intensive defense.
In fact, Mourinho's intention is very clear, which is to concede as few goals as possible away from home. It would be best if the game ended 0-0.
If you cannot avoid conceding goals, then you must look for opportunities to create away goals.
He wants to drag the suspense to Old Trafford, take advantage of the home field and then have the final battle with Bayern.
But Heynckes certainly can't let him have his way.
As expected, Bayern's attack direction was on the right side. Rafinha, Ribery and James Rodriguez fiercely attacked Manchester United's defense through simple and effective passing and cutting.
9th minute of the game.
"Ribery dribbled the ball down the wing! Beautiful! He continuously changed his center of gravity to shake off Valencia and completed a breakthrough from the outside!"
“Old but still strong!”
The scar on Ribery's face looked more hideous and terrifying, like a thug with an extreme personality.
But who would have thought that he is actually the most humble and friendly person in Bayern.
This scar comes from a car accident when he was 2 years old. Although Ribery's speed is not as good as it was in the past, he has more experience. He seized the opportunity when Manchester United's formation moved backwards and sent a cross pass.
Bang! The football rolled rapidly along the grass.
"Lewandowski! The Polish striker held off Phil Jones!"
"You want to turn around and shoot directly!?"
No.
In Bayern's system, Lewandowski is not a striker who only takes on the ball. He often takes on responsibilities such as fulcrum, ball distribution, and scoring.
From God's perspective.
Bayern players swarmed into the penalty area, but not without any order. Instead, they formed a network that could occupy the largest area.
This can greatly increase Bayern's ability to seize opportunities in the penalty area.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If the attack fails and Manchester United counterattacks, they can also press on the spot.
Although Bayern themselves dominate the Bundesliga, their tactical level and player strength are beyond doubt.
After Lewandowski attracted the attention of Phil Jones and Smalling, he turned his back and swept the ball to the right side of the penalty area.
At this time, a man jumped out!
He was like a cunning fox, emerging from the shadows and suddenly showing his sharp fangs.
Thomas Muller!
He went straight into the space created by Smalling's movement.
Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena.
Kick!
Bang! The football shot out and headed straight for the lower right corner of the goal.
De Gea fell to the ground as quickly as possible to save the ball, and his fingers just touched the ball.
But it was not enough. The football made a slight bend, hit the inside of the right goal post, and bounced into the center of the goal.
“Nice goal!”
"Bayern's frontcourt offensive group had great tacit understanding. Both Ribery's cross and Lewandowski's transfer were brilliant. Muller's keen sense of smell allowed him to find the best offensive route and send the ball into Manchester United's goal in one fell swoop!"
"Bayern scored the first goal within 10 minutes of the start of the game!"
"Manchester United is in big trouble!"
"Perhaps it's because they haven't played a high-level Champions League game for a long time. They don't seem to have entered the game state yet, and the defensive players in the backcourt did not communicate in time."
"well!"
Zhan Jun let out a long sigh.
Zhang Lu sat up straighter instead. "Don't be too anxious. Mourinho should be able to make adjustments in time. As long as we can keep the pace steady, Manchester United is not without a chance."
