Chapter 611 Su Dong's Prophecy
When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, everyone in Bayern breathed a sigh of relief.
Bayern really needs to take a breather right now.
Especially Rensing.
Tonight, the performance of the little lion king was so poor that Lucio, Pepe and others were very dissatisfied with him.
But when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, everyone was on their way back to the locker room. Sudon, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Lucio, Pepe and others all came over to encourage him, hoping that he could adjust his mood and keep working hard.
Rensing’s problem is not actually his ability, but his psychological quality.
Su Dong is optimistic about Neuer, emphasizing two points: better physical and mental qualities.
Rensing's performance tonight really completely overturned Bayern's impression of him, because before Kahn retired and in the previous few games of this season, Rensing's performance was still good.
Why did it turn out like this tonight? Why did you use your fists to hit him when you could just throw it?
A detailed analysis is very complicated. To put it simply, I was not confident enough in myself and my technical movements went astray.
The situation on the field changes rapidly and players have to make decisions in an instant. Rensing seemed hesitant and not decisive enough many times in the first half. He also lacked confidence when saving the ball. He was worried about gains and losses and his technical movements were distorted.
This is not a problem unique to goalkeepers, but a common problem in every position, and even in all high-pressure industries.
To put it bluntly, he is just a young man of 24 years old.
"It's okay, we can win. Don't put so much pressure on yourself and relax a little." Su Dong encouraged.
Rensing took a deep breath and nodded, but his expression was still very solemn and nervous.
In the past, there was Kahn, a big tree that provided shelter from the wind and rain, and Rensing was a substitute beside him. He was also a young player, so everyone was more tolerant of him. But now that Kahn has retired, Rensing has to stand on his own, especially facing competition from Neuer, which immediately exposed Rensing's lack of confidence.
Does that mean that without Neuer, Rensing won't have any problems?
Wrong! Problems that are supposed to happen will happen sooner or later.
Another point is that Renxin is too honest.
When playing football, especially the goalkeeper position, you can't be too honest. You have to be a little wild and be able to let go.
The forward has a partner in the front line, the midfield has a partner, and the defense has a partner, but the goalkeeper is the only one standing alone in front of the goal.
Many times, they have to make important decisions alone, which puts them under pressure that outsiders cannot imagine, and they even feel like they are fighting alone.
Honest people are popular in the locker room, but they suffer a lot on the court! …
Heynckes stopped Su Dong in the player tunnel.
He hopes that Su Dong can work harder in the second half and try to score another goal.
"We must win this game!" Heynckes stared at Su Dong and said.
The game must be won, but according to Heynckes, he does not intend to replace Rensing during the half-time break.
This is not difficult to understand.
Many fans look at the game from a rational perspective, analyzing the problem from a purely technical and tactical point of view, and think that someone should be substituted. Yes, there is nothing wrong with this.
But they overlooked one problem, that is, when a head coach leads a team, the top priority is never technical and tactical issues, but management. To some extent, when coaching a top club, managing the locker room is more important than technical and tactical issues.
Anyone can see that Rensing's confidence is indeed problematic. Substituting him now is a timely measure to stop the loss. Neuer will sit on the bench, so isn't it better to let him play?
But if we look at it from a management perspective, the problem is not that simple.
Rensing is popular in the management and the locker room. He is an honest kid who has been a substitute for many years in Bayern. He has a lot of experience and has been trained as the successor to Kahn in the past few years. If he is directly replaced at halftime because of a loss of control in the first half, what is the cost? Many people may not realize that replacing Rensing at this time is tantamount to sentencing Rensing to death.
Let's ask ourselves, who doesn't make mistakes? Who doesn't make mistakes?
It can be said that Rensing played too poorly in this game and it is highly likely that he will gradually lose his position. As long as Neuer performs stably, there is no suspense in getting the starting position, but the problem is that it cannot be tonight and cannot be during the halftime break, otherwise, it will chill the hearts of many people in the locker room.
The players' hearts were chilled, and it would not be easy to get it back.
This is why, in many cases, changing coaches can solve the problem.
Many fans would find it strange that the problem is there and everyone can see it, but the head coach can't see it? The management can't see it? If none of them can see it, then why can he see it if he changes the head coach, even a bad head coach?
It’s not that they can’t see it, but that they can’t make the decision and have no way to solve the problem.
This falls under the category of management.
Su Dong understands Heynckes, and Bayern also has the confidence. Even if they lose tonight, it’s no big deal.
"Don't worry, I will try to score another goal in the second half." Su Dong nodded in agreement.
Heynckes nodded gratefully, and soon sighed again, "Do you know how to predict the future?"
"What kind of prophecy?"
"Didn't you say in the last bet that Neuer would be a starter within five rounds?"
It’s really amazing, this is exactly the fifth round, neither more nor less.
Judging from the current situation, Neuer is really better than Rensing.
Su Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt that he had suddenly become a charlatan. Thinking of this, Su Dong shook his head, patted Heynckes on the shoulder, and walked straight into the player's tunnel.
This old guy is quite cute!
Heynckes was stunned and felt that Su Dong was too mysterious.
…………
…………
After the second half, everyone was surprised to find that Bayern did not make any substitutions.
Rensing still appears on the starting roster.
At the beginning of the second half, Bayern took the lead in launching an offensive.
In the 51st minute, Marcelo dribbled the ball across the center line on the left and tried to launch an attack but failed. He immediately passed the ball to Schweinsteiger, allowing Bayern's midfield to reorganize.
Schweinsteiger passed the ball to Modric. After stopping the ball, the Croatian quickly moved forward and suddenly sent a precise through ball.
The ball passed between Bremen's left-back and Naldo and rolled directly to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area.
Robben sprinted forward at an extremely fast speed, caught up with the ball before the baseline, glanced at the penalty area, and made a half-high cross with his right foot.
In the penalty area, Su Dong quickly inserted himself and at the front of the small penalty area, before Mertesacker, he kicked the ball and sent the ball back into the Bremen goal from under goalkeeper Wiese.
3 to 2! Scored twice!
In an instant, the entire Allianz Arena erupted in thunderous cheers once again.
All Bayern fans breathed a sigh of relief, but they still felt that the game was not stable enough and kept encouraging the players to keep trying.
…
Just over six minutes had passed since the goal and Bayern continued to exert offensive pressure on Bremen.
In a long pass between the left and right sides of the 30-meter area, Schweinsteiger moved the left side of the field to the right side. After Lahm got the ball, he passed it directly to Robben.
Robben dribbled the ball on the right side of the penalty area and tried to cut inside, but was double-teamed by the defenders and passed the ball back to Modric.
When the Croatian midfielder stopped the ball, he suddenly made an over-the-top diagonal pass, transferring the ball to the left side of Bremen's penalty area.
Su Dong ran to an unguarded space at some point, and facing Modric's pass, he chested the ball and volleyed it with his right foot without waiting for the ball to hit the ground.
The ball was blasted into Bremen's goal by Su Dong again! "GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"hat trick!!"
"Su Dong performed a hat trick again!"
"Bayern played a wonderful offensive battle with Bremen tonight. Both teams were not conservative at all and played the game very unrestrainedly, which gave Su Dong more room to play."
"He's got a hat trick so far and also assisted Robben's goal."
"Four to two, Bayern has expanded the lead again."
…
The score of 4 to 2 seemed to have settled the game.
But just when everyone thought that Bayern had secured victory, Bremen got a free kick opportunity on the left side of the penalty area due to a foul by Lucio.
Logically speaking, this is not a dangerous area.
Unexpectedly, when Diego kicked the ball into the penalty area, Rensing once again left the goal and rushed to the place where the ball landed, and swung his right fist high, trying to hit the ball out directly with his fist.
Indeed, Rensing hit the ball, but the ball punched out by his fist was headed by the opponent's player. The ball did not fly far and fell directly into the penalty area. Rosenberry easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.
3 to 4! The entire Allianz Arena sighed helplessly.
What kind of operations are these? ...
After scoring a goal, Werder Bremen took the opportunity to launch a wave of attacks on Bayern, trying to equalize the score again.
But Bayern also seized a chance to counterattack in the 81st minute.
Pepe made a long pass, Su Dong turned his back to the direction of attack, stopped the ball, turned around and got rid of it, drove straight into the game with the ball, pulled all the defensive players around him, and then suddenly passed the ball to Olic on the left rib.
The Croatian striker caught up with Su Dong's pass in front of the small penalty area and easily shot the ball into the goal, scoring another goal for Bayern.
5 to 3! But the Bayern fans in the stands were not taking it lightly.
Who knows if Rensing will cause any more trouble in the next game? Afterwards, Bayern also adopted more defensive tactics, hoping to maintain this score.
Werder Bremen also suffered huge consumption and did not have much energy to continue pressing and attacking.
In the end, Bayern beat Werder Bremen 5-3 at home thanks to Sudong's hat trick and two assists.
This battle certainly won Su Dong a lot of applause again, especially in the Champions League group stage and the Bundesliga, he performed hat tricks in two consecutive games, and when he left the field, he was stood up and applauded by 70,000 fans in the Allianz Arena.
But at the same time, it also exposed Bayern's problems and weaknesses.
Especially goalkeeper Rensing.
