Chapter 543: Unstoppable Su Dong
Real Madrid vs. Bayern, this duel between mortal enemies, coupled with the Soviet Union's Eastern Conference, made the Bernabeu Stadium packed on the night of September 18th, with 80,000 Real Madrid fans entering the stadium to cheer for Real Madrid.
Although they were playing away, Bayern still performed very bravely and did not show any cowardice.
As soon as the game started, Bayern dared to press forward.
Su Dong took the first shot of the game, less than two minutes after the start of the game. He made a sudden shot from outside the penalty area, which was slightly off target, but still made Casillas break out in a cold sweat and made the 80,000 Real Madrid fans at the scene tremble with fear.
This kid is a troublemaker wherever he goes!
Schuster was very nervous. The Bayern player he was most worried about tonight was Sudong, so he kept signaling the players to stay calm, especially to pay attention to controlling Sudong.
Metzelder and Cannavaro are the focus of defending Su Dong, and naturally they are also the focus of Schuster.
After Bayern took the lead, Real Madrid reacted quickly and launched an offensive.
Since Schuster took over as coach, there has been a very obvious change in Real Madrid's offense, with an increase in ground penetration and coordination.
Especially in the frontcourt, the triangle connection between Raul, Guti and Van Nistelrooy has become a very important means of attack for Real Madrid. Raul and Van Nistelrooy's large-scale running in the front also provides more routes for Real Madrid's midfield to pass the ball.
In the twelfth minute, Real Madrid passed the ball into the penalty area again. Sneijder got a chance for a long shot and made a long shot from outside the penalty area, but failed to pose a threat.
But soon, Real Madrid created an opportunity.
After a straight pass from Guti, Van Nistelrooy inserted into the left side of the penalty area and made a lob pass to the middle.
The ball passed Lucio and went straight to the post. Raul quickly inserted himself, but at the critical moment, Pepe stayed firmly in position and headed the ball away, defusing the most threatening attack of Real Madrid since the opening.
This attack also sounded the clarion call for Real Madrid, and also made the Real Madrid fans at the scene very excited.
The entire Bernabeu Stadium was cheering for Real Madrid players, especially Raul.
This is Real Madrid's 300th Champions League game. As the team's leader, fans naturally hope that Raul can score a goal, open the door to victory for Real Madrid, and also make a good start for the new season of the Champions League.
…
Su Dong stood near the center line.
He looked towards his own half and saw Pepe clear the ball.
Schweinsteiger got the ball, but Real Madrid quickly counterattacked on the spot and Schweinsteiger immediately passed the ball to the side.
After Capello's one season, there has been an obvious change in Real Madrid, that is, the players' defensive enthusiasm has increased.
The most obvious ones are Raul and Van Nistelrooy, who have a wide range of activities.
But Bayern is no pushover either. After a series of passes, Real Madrid's counterattack failed to be effective.
After Marcelo got the ball on the left, he quickly moved forward.
Seeing this scene, Su Dong quickly moved forward diagonally, ready to move forward at any time.
Real Madrid's defense was retreating quickly, especially Metzelder and Cannavaro, both of whom followed Su Dong closely.
Marcelo dribbled the ball across the center line on the left and passed it to Ribery.
The French winger got the ball and went straight to the middle, trying to dribble past Real Madrid's defensive midfielder.
Gago played as a single defensive midfielder and had difficulty dealing with Ribery, forcing Ramos to come forward to defend. In this way, he gave up the right side.
After Ribery attracted attention, he passed the ball to the left.
Marcelo came up from the side, took a big step to catch up with Ribery's pass, and dribbled directly to the left side of the penalty area.
Ramos was prepared and reacted very quickly, but Marcelo still seized the opportunity and passed the ball into the penalty area with his left foot.
Su Dong deliberately slowed down and waited at the top of the penalty area. After seeing Ribery pass the ball to Marcelo, he was already prepared. When he saw Marcelo pass the ball, he quickly moved forward.
Although Su Dong is tall and has long legs, when he suddenly moved forward, Cannavaro, who had his back to him, was left behind. Only Metzelder was facing him and reacted quickly to catch up.
But after rushing through the penalty spot, Su Dong took the lead and kicked the ball.
The ball landed in front of the small penalty area, and Su Dong shot it at the right time. His right foot just happened to cushion Marcelo's cross, causing the ball to change direction and go straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
Casillas flew to save the ball, but no matter how quick his reaction was, he couldn't stop the shot that was so close.
One to zero!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the sixteenth minute, sixteen minutes into the game, Su Dong scored the first goal for Bayern!"
After Su Dong scored the goal, he got up from the ground, rushed to the sidelines, ran all the way, and finally stopped in the corner area, waving his arms and shouting, celebrating his goal in the Champions League again after more than half a year.
At this moment, the 80,000 fans at the Bernabeu have not yet recovered from their shock, and everyone is still confused.
Bayern players were the first to react, especially Marcelo, who rushed towards Sudong first, jumped directly on his back, and waved his arms towards the Real Madrid fans in the stands.
"A quick counter attack from Bayern Munich, played very quickly."
"Marcelo and Ribery cooperated very well on the left, pulling Ramos out of position, allowing Marcelo to make a cross and assist Su Dong to shoot in front of the goal, opening the scoring for Bayern."
"It should be said that this goal is very characteristic of Bayern's attack this season, with both flanks playing very actively."
…………
…………
After Bayern scored the first goal, Real Madrid launched a crazy counterattack.
In the next five minutes, Higuain created two consecutive crossing opportunities on the right, and Van Nistelrooy got the ball both times, but one hit the side net and the other was blocked by Lucio, who blocked the ball directly out of the baseline.
Not long after, Raul took the ball and planned an attack again, passing it to Higuain. The young Argentine player shot slightly wide of the far corner.
Later, Raul got a chance himself. A low pass from the left gave him a chance to shoot in the penalty area, but he failed to put enough power into the shot and was easily caught by Kahn.
Real Madrid's fierce attack was quite threatening, showing the offensive strength trained by Schuster this season, but Bayern's defense was also very tightly organized, especially the three midfielders and the back line, who were very actively involved in defense.
Modric successfully intercepted the ball when cooperating with Lahm and quickly passed it to Robben.
The Dutchman got the ball on the right and dribbled straight towards Heinze.
Both of them played in the Premier League before, Robben at Chelsea and Heinze at Manchester United, and they have competed against each other many times.
This time, after getting the ball, Robben rushed directly towards Heinze.
The Argentine left-back was also facing a formidable enemy and did not dare to be careless at all.
But even so, as soon as the two came into contact, Robben made a fake move, changed direction and cut inside, directly shaking off Heinze, dribbling the ball inside and heading straight for the Real Madrid defense line.
Gago's problem was exposed when facing Ribery during Bayern's goal just now, and it was even more obvious this time, that is, he could not defend against attackers like Ribery and Robben at all.
When Robben cut inside and headed straight for the defense line, Gago was unable to stop him, and Metzelder had to abandon the defense line and go straight for the ball, which looked just like Ramos abandoning the wing defense just now.
Robben decisively passed the ball into the penalty area and behind Metzelder.
Su Dong cut in diagonally, stopped the ball, and volleyed it!
The ball went into Real Madrid's goal again.
Two to zero! "GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Another double goal!"
"God, Su Dong is unstoppable this season!"
"Real Madrid's defense was completely exposed in the face of Bayern's powerful attack and sharp counterattack."
Facts have proved that Heynckes' judgment was correct. Relying solely on Gago, Real Madrid's midfield did not have enough defensive capabilities and could only be exposed to the opponent's offensive firepower again and again.
This is why Real Madrid faced Atletico Madrid, Villarreal and Almeria, all of whom had more than 20 shots from their opponents, while Bayern's offensive firepower was even greater than that of these players.
After Su Dong scored the goal, he started running wildly to celebrate, but his mind was full of thoughts about another question.
Does Schuster know about Real Madrid's defensive problems?
The answer is obvious, he definitely knows.
European teams all purchase various analytical data, and Real Madrid is no exception. They even have their own dedicated analysis team, so it is impossible for them not to know about their own defensive problems.
Then why did Schuster still adopt Gago's single defensive midfielder style when facing Bayern at home?
This is probably because in addition to the environment and pressure given to him by Real Madrid, he is also gambling.
If he wins the bet, he will gain both fame and fortune and continue his outstanding performance in the first three rounds. If he loses the bet, he can take the opportunity to adjust the team's tactical play with justification.
Real Madrid is really interesting.
They not only want to win, but also want to win beautifully.
So even though Heynckes led Real Madrid to win the Champions League that year, he was still fired.
There were also two coaching periods by Hiddink and Capello, and their results were actually quite good. However, because the team did not play well, Real Madrid could not accept their football.
From the moment he took office, Schuster was destined to adopt a more offensive tactical style, which was also more risky.
Especially in the Champions League, facing a strong team like Bayern, can Real Madrid's weak defense hold up?
But there is no way. Although coaching Real Madrid will bring fame and fame, the pressure and burden of performance are also quite staggering, and not everyone can bear it easily.
…
Facts have proved that even though the team was two goals behind, Schuster still had no intention of defending.
After the restart, Real Madrid was still looking for opportunities to attack.
Schuster didn't seem to mind losing a few balls behind him, he just wanted to score goals in front.
But everyone knows that Bayern's two goals shortly after the start of the first half and Su Dong's double goal have completely exposed the illusion of Real Madrid's wonderful performance this season and told everyone that Real Madrid's defense is still weak.
Of course, the prerequisite is whether the opponent has a strong enough defense to block Real Madrid's sharp attack, and at the same time rely on strong offensive power to penetrate Real Madrid's goal.
How many teams with such strength are there in European football and in La Liga?
