Chapter 534 The answer is revealed!
In the past few years, in the Bundesliga, the only teams that can really pose a threat to Bayern are Werder Bremen and Schalke 04.
Especially Werder Bremen.
Bayern's performance is always unsatisfactory when they visit the Weser Stadium.
In the past few years, Bayern has only won one game at the Weser Stadium. That was in the 2004-2005 season, when Magath led the team to a narrow 2-1 away win over Werder Bremen, and it was Klose who scored for Bremen at that time.
In the remaining nine games, Bayern had five losses and four draws, without winning a single game.
Therefore, many people say that the match against Werder Bremen will be a real test for Bayern in the new season.
Werder Bremen is not only Bayern's number one competitor on the road to the championship, but also Bayern's nightmare in the past few years.
Every time Bayern comes to the Weser Stadium, they play poorly, and Bremen fans are not polite to Bayern, especially this season, after Klose "defected" to Bayern, the confrontation and hatred between the two teams has intensified.
As soon as the two teams entered the field, the Bremen fans at the scene burst into deafening boos.
The Bundesliga has a very notable feature, which is that the home atmosphere is particularly strong and passionate.
Su Dong thinks this is a good idea.
…
After the 4-0 win over Rostock in the last game, Heynckes held a post-match summary meeting. He affirmed the team's performance, but also pointed out many problems.
Ribery was awarded full marks by the media, but Heynckes criticized him at the summary meeting because Ribery always increased the speed too quickly, which was not acceptable.
"We need to slow down and not fight for the ball, which is true in the Bundesliga and even more so in the Champions League."
"What I mean is that we should not always be slow, nor should we blindly pursue speed, but we should combine fast and slow, and give full play to speed when we switch from defense to offense."
"The opponent likes to control the ball, which is a good thing for us. We don't compete with them and let them control the ball. After we grab the ball, we suddenly accelerate and launch the fastest counterattack to destroy the opponent's defense in one fell swoop."
Heynckes also reminded Schweinsteiger, and especially Modric, to pay attention to controlling the tempo.
It is up to Bayern to control when to go fast and when to go slow.
You may not have the ball, but you cannot lose control of the rhythm.
It can be said that after the planning and experimentation in the second half of last season and the running-in of pre-season training, Heynckes has already had a complete set of tactical ideas. He has begun to know how to maximize the power of Bayern's current lineup.
At the same time, he is also considering the Champions League.
There is no doubt that he highly admires La Liga, especially Barcelona's ball-control style of play, but he does not think that this style of play can work in the Bundesliga and at Bayern. It might be okay to let Modric play Barcelona's passing and controlling style, but it would not work for Schweinsteiger, Van Bommel and others to play this style.
Therefore, Heynckes' goal has never been to control the ball, but to control the tempo.
Werder Bremen is famous for its offensive football and ball possession in the Bundesliga. Bayern does not intend to fight with the opponent for ball possession in this game.
It's about how fast the opponent switches from offense to defense. Is Bayern faster in switching from defense to offense? Or is Bremen faster in switching from offense to defense?
In just six minutes, the answer was revealed! …………
…………
In the sixth minute of the game, Mascherano intercepted the ball on the center line near Bayern's half, and Modric got the ball on the right side of the center circle, dribbled forward and launched a quick counterattack.
Su Dong glanced at the right side and saw Robben sticking to the right side line and starting to support Modric.
He did not sprint forward or run to the right immediately, but continued to move forward slowly.
Bremen's left-back Schulz of course followed Robben closely, which forced Mertesacker to move to his own left side so that he could assist Schulz at any time.
In a one-on-one match, Robben could get past Schulz in minutes.
Not only that, Vranjes also returned to defense, blocking Modric and supporting Schulz at any time.
Midfielder Bauman was standing in the middle. Su Dong had just been on the left side of the middle and he still did not move at this time. He jogged forward in a straight line to attract Naldo to this side.
In this way, the gap between the two central defenders, Naldo and Mertesacker, was exposed.
According to Baumann and Naldo, they controlled Su Dong in a corner. As long as they followed Su Dong, the gap in the middle would not be a big problem, because Bayern had no other players who could use it.
Not only that, in order to prevent Robben from cutting in from the right, after Modric passed the ball to Robben, Schulz wanted to force Robben to the wing as soon as possible, and Vranješ was also on the inside to assist and protect him.
Su Dong glanced at Robben from a distance, and the Dutch Peter Pan was also looking up at him.
Although the two were dozens of meters apart, after looking at each other, they both realized each other's intentions.
Su Dong, who was originally running in a straight line forward, suddenly sped up, turned and rushed behind Baumann, heading straight for the empty area between Naldo and Mertesacker.
Almost at the same time, after Robben stopped Modric's pass, he also accelerated and dribbled the ball straight to Schulz. When his opponent had no way to retreat and kicked the ball, Robben cleverly changed direction and cut inside, then suddenly accelerated and dribbled past Vranjesh.
Vranješ stood outside the penalty area with his back to the goal, following Robben who cut inside, but the ball was always controlled by Robben's left foot, and he had no way to stop Robben's subsequent pass.
At this moment, Su Dong just rushed to the top of the arc, and Robben's left-foot pass just came in front of Su Dong.
After Su Dong accelerated to catch up, he pushed the ball directly into the penalty area without stopping.
The ball changed direction and slid into the penalty area.
The two central defenders, Naldo and Mertesacker, double-teamed him at the same time, but Su Dong was very fast. After rushing into the penalty area, he took the lead in controlling the ball, avoided Naldo, and blocked Mertesacker with his shoulder.
Su Dong's strong physical confrontation made it impossible for the two central defenders, Naldo and Mertesacker, to gain any advantage. Standing in the penalty area, they dared not commit fouls. After controlling the ball, Su Dong swung his right foot and suddenly hit a ground ball.
The ball shot out from Su Dong's feet and went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Wiese was standing on the right side. When he saw Su Dong kicking the ball, he dived to the right, but no matter how long he stretched his arms, he couldn't reach the ball.
The ball just brushed the left post and hit the side net of the goal.
It all sounds long, but in reality it happens in the blink of an eye.
By the time the Bremen fans reacted, Su Dong had already rushed into the penalty area and shot with his right foot.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the sixth minute, just six minutes into the game, Su Dong scored the first goal for Bayern!"
“One to zero!”
After Su Dong scored a goal, he raised his arms high in excitement and turned to look at Robben.
The Dutch also rushed over cheering and hugged Su Dong tightly.
Other Bayern players also ran over, high-fiving or hugging, to celebrate Su Dong's goal. Even Kahn, who was far away, gave Su Dong a thumbs up.
“It was really a wonderful collaboration.”
"Bayern's counterattack was very fast. Mascherano intercepted the ball, Modric pushed forward, Robben dribbled inside from the right, passed it to Su Dong, and went straight into the penalty area."
"Werder Bremen's defense was very passive and seemed a bit stiff in the face of Bayern's flexible offensive movement."
"From the slow-motion replay we can see that Su Dong's movement was very smart. He deliberately kept a certain distance from Robben and Modric, confusing Werder Bremen's defensive players, especially Baumann."
"When Robben got the ball, Su Dong suddenly accelerated and cut into the gap between the two central defenders. Robben also chose to cut inside and passed the ball to Su Dong's forward line with his left foot."
"The rest was purely a performance of Su Dong's personal strength. He controlled the ball and shot it under the pressure of two central defenders, Naldo and Mertesacker. It was not easy."
"One to zero, Su Dong takes the lead for Bayern!"
…
Bayern's counterattack goal caught Werder Bremen off guard and they took the first goal.
After the game resumed, Bayern continued to play steadily and was not obsessed with controlling the ball, but focused on controlling the rhythm.
Werder Bremen did not dare to be too arrogant and started to play more cautiously.
The focus of Bayern's midfield stranglehold is near the center line.
There is a special feature of stealing the ball here, that is, after the ball is intercepted, it can often be sent directly into the 30-meter area with just one pass.
Just like this time in the 20th minute, Schweinsteiger successfully intercepted the ball and quickly passed it to Ribery.
Ribery dribbled the ball diagonally forward and when he reached the edge of the penalty area, he made a beautiful through pass.
Inside the penalty area, Su Dong blocked Naldo with his back, intercepted Ribery's pass with his right foot, and turned to his right side, which is the left side of the court.
Naldo only felt the pressure on his body ease, and before he could react, Su Dong had already wiped past him.
This kick stopped and passed, leaving the Brazilian center back with no temper at all, and he didn't even have time to commit a foul.
After Su Dong got rid of Naldo, he chased after him and first pretended to shoot with his right foot, tricking Wiese into making a move, then he easily shot into the near corner with his left foot.
The ball passed by Wiese and rolled into Werder Bremen's goal again.
2-0! Double goal!
Su Dong clenched his fists again and celebrated the goal loudly.
Ribery was the first to rush over and celebrate the goal with him.
The French scar-faced man, who was only 1.7 meters tall, was unable to hold Su Dong and could only hug his waist tightly. The huge difference in height made Ribery look particularly small.
When Messi stood next to Su Dong, he was also very small, but he had long Argentine hair, which made him look bigger visually. Ribery not only looked thin, but also had very short hair.
As for the Mediterranean guy who came over to celebrate, although he had no hair, he was still 1.8 meters tall.
What Maradona said was actually absolutely correct. Robben, who is 1.8 meters tall, and Ribery, who is 1.7 meters tall, have completely different playing styles.
For someone like Su Dong, who is 1.95 meters tall, to be able to play like this is simply against the will of heaven.
