Chapter 173 Peter Pan defeated by time! (Second update)
Mata was in an undisturbed situation and had enough time and space to adjust.
He stopped the ball in front of him, raised his left foot slightly, and made an accurate pass.
The football drew a dazzling arc and flew towards the penalty area, between Boateng and Hummels.
Two figures suddenly appeared in the picture.
Black and white double evil, double ghosts knocking on the door! Chu Feng attracted Boateng's attention, Lukaku seized the opportunity to cut in diagonally, and slammed his head hard on the ball.
A header from this distance is very threatening and it is difficult for the goalkeeper to react.
Ding! The football hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line. Ulreich heard the crisp sound and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It’s worthy of being our own goal, it saved a life at the critical moment.
Since Neuer was seriously injured, he has become Bayern's starting goalkeeper as he wished, but whenever he performs poorly, he will be criticized by the harsh Bayern fans.
So he has been under a lot of pressure recently, and he urged his teammates: "Defend more seriously, don't miss any more people!"
Boateng and Hummels nodded.
At this time, Lukaku covered his head in annoyance.
I wasted a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and there is a high possibility that I will become Manchester United's sinner. The overwhelming pressure is suffocating.
The reason why he always disappears in strong confrontations is because he is not mentally strong enough.
If he can play football with the same idea of "I am the best in the world" as Ibrahimovic, even if he cannot become a top striker in football, he can still become a world-class player.
"Romelu, hurry up and get back to defense!"
Chu Feng didn't comfort her and urged her.
The game starts again.
With Heynckes' timely adjustment, Bayern's defense line moved forward several meters, and the distance between them and Martinez was shorter.
This will provide strong support when Manchester United besiege Martinez.
Facing Bayern's high defense, Manchester United subconsciously wanted to take advantage of the space behind Bayern's defense.
But Bayern's attack on the left side became smoother and smoother, squeezing and deforming Manchester United's overall formation, and Pogba was suppressed and unable to organize an attack.
17th minute of the game.
J. Rodriguez took the ball from outside the penalty area and passed it straight into the penalty area, but Phil Jones fell to the ground to intercept it, and then hurriedly cleared it with a big kick.
“Oops, poor quality!”
"Hummels had already moved to the spot and headed the ball to Rafinha on the left."
"It's the same script again!"
"Manchester United was confused by Bayern's wing attack and could only find opportunities through large-scale transfers in the backcourt."
"But the problem is they can't get the ball to the strikers!"
"If this continues, it will be easy for Bayern to use the players' individual abilities to break through, just like the last goal. Mourinho needs to make adjustments quickly!"
Zhan Jun gradually became anxious. He didn't want to see Chu Feng's Champions League journey end here.
The cheers at the Allianz Arena grew louder and louder.
Manchester United players gradually adapted to the intensity of the Champions League games. Although they still looked very embarrassed on defense, their support for each other was much better than at the beginning of the game.
Whenever Ribery had the ball near the wing, Valencia would choose to defend inside and outside to prevent Ribery from cutting inside to shoot or connecting with his teammates.
The rest of the players on the back line chose their defensive positions appropriately to limit the attacking routes of Bayern's supporting players.
The Manchester United fans in the stands had just let go of their worries, but they were immediately worried again.
Bayern's attack is not limited to the right side.
The central advancement team led by James Rodriguez carried out meticulous penetration from the middle.
The Colombian superstar was loaned to Bayern for 13 million euros this season.
I remember that he burst onto the scene with a wonderful volley and after transferring to the Galacticos, he thought he was going to reach the peak of his life, but life is always full of unknowns.
After going through many hardships, he returned to his mentor, but who would have thought that Ancelotti was fired by Bayern before playing just a few games.
Fortunately, Heynckes had a keen eye for talent. James Rodriguez's face was filled with a confident smile, as if he had found his former self.
At that time, as the most critical midfield engine, he planned one threatening attack after another and played with the opponent's defense at his fingertips.
Bayern's current personnel configuration is more suitable for his performance.
With Martinez protecting him behind him, he can give full play to his talents on the offensive end.
With Robben and Ribery on both sides, he can make up for his lack of breakthrough ability.
The most important thing is Mueller.
The master of space capture and the expert of off-ball movement fit together perfectly!
Pass the ball, run, and pass it! Simple and effective passing and cutting.
Bayern's frontcourt established perfect coordination and connection, like a sharp knife, constantly cutting and pulling Manchester United's defense.
Manchester United players once again felt the pressure at the beginning of the game.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In just 8 minutes.
James Rodriguez received the pass from Martinez in the 30-meter area and cleverly dribbled the ball to avoid Matic's pressing.
His movements are not fast, but they give people a unique sense of beauty.
classical!
Manchester United's defense was tight and solid, covering the entire penalty area.
No space?
But James Rodriguez was not going to pass the ball into the penalty area, as Bayern had the most powerful individual weapon.
Bang! The ball left James' left foot and rolled to the right in a big diagonal line.
Bayern's No. 10 rushed into the center of the screen! His left foot continuously touched the ball at high speed, and the terrifying frequency was shocking.
The whole world knew Robben was going to cut inside, but no one could stop him.
In fact, this is a very simple technique that every player will learn when they are first enlightened.
Little Touch! But to be like Robben, with a flawless combination of man and ball and perfect rhythm in every step, it is not something that can be achieved through training alone, it also requires a God-given talent.
Ashley Young couldn't keep up, and neither could Smalling.
When arriving at the front of the restricted area.
Robben suddenly kicked the ball. This was the area he was most familiar with and he could score with his eyes closed.
But there was a sour feeling in the body.
Robben made a slight adjustment, twisted his body and shot with all his strength! Bang! A crisp sound echoed in everyone's ears.
The football spun violently as if to strangle Manchester United's defense, drawing an exaggerated arc and flying towards the upper left corner of the goal.
Bayern fans stood up and raised their hands to cheer.
But their voices were stuck in their throats and they couldn't come out.
"Unfortunately, the quality of this shot was not high and it failed to hit the goal frame!"
"Robben is already 34 years old. His playing style is very physically demanding and he has been injured frequently before."
"Perhaps he has been defeated by time and no longer has the magic he once had!"
There were continuous cries of regret at the Allianz Arena.
The scene that flashed countless times in the minds of Bayern fans did not happen. They also knew that Robben was old and no longer the "Peter Pan" of the past.
Maybe he will leave Bayern soon.
So they hope that Robben, Ribery and other veterans can lift the Champions League trophy once more before leaving.
