Chapter 391 True Form

Seeing Salihamidzic's goal, the entire Olympic Stadium erupted instantly, and Bayern fans shouted Salihamidzic's name frantically. In his seven seasons at Bayern, he has indeed earned a lot of popularity and won unanimous recognition from Bayern fans.

"Goooal!! Our Salihamidzic! He helped the team take the lead!" The commentator of the German Sports TV was excited.

"Our angel's wing, he scored again. This is his seventh goal for Bayern this season, a golden goal. In the first leg of this semi-final known as the Champions League final, Salihamidzic became the protagonist. Look, his goal celebration is full of passion and charm!"

"The ball goes in! Goal!"

"The ball...went in. What a pity!"

...At the same time, media from various countries made different calls. Compared with the excitement of German TV stations, the voice of the English media was much lower.

Still on Sky TV, commentator Graham - "The ball goes in. This is Bayern's No. 13 Hasan Salihamidzic. He is a player from Bosnia and Herzegovina and has played for Bayern for seven seasons. However, this striker has made many appearances but not many goals. On average, he only scores one goal every five games."

"Now that Bayern is leading, it's not easy to play against Chelsea. From the form point of view, after the two teams' probing attacks, Bayern has the momentum to suppress them. However, maybe Mourinho wants Bayern to play like this, Chelsea's counterattack speed is very fast..."

Graham's analysis is correct. It seems that he has figured out Chelsea this season, even more accurately than some coaches.

In the Chelsea coaching booth, head coach Jose Mourinho sat there, crossed his legs, chewed gum, and looked relaxed. In fact, although Bayern scored first, he was not too upset.

This is Bayern's home ground. As one of the world's top teams, it is not surprising that Bayern scored first. Mourinho would be surprised if Chelsea could easily score several goals in a row.

And now, with this goal, Mourinho feels more relaxed.

He curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile and turned to look at Magath in the Bayern coaching booth, thinking about the situation that would follow and making up his mind.

A strong opponent is not scary; what is scary is an unknown opponent.

After more than 20 minutes of the game, Mourinho has roughly understood the way Bayern Munich plays. He knows that the tactics he arranged before the war are correct. This kind of team has a strong sense of integration and the entire team is a whole. Thinking of this, Mourinho has some admiration for Magath in his heart. In just one season, it is not easy to completely turn Bayern into the style of the German team.

But... this integration seems complete, and every player is closely connected with the team's tactics. But in the absence of an outstanding midfield commander, how close can the relationship between players and tactics, and between players be?

Thinking of this, Mourinho felt much more at ease.

Bayern is indeed very strong, and the German team's style of play is indeed very aggressive, but Bayern lacks a commander on the field. If they had a central midfielder like Ronaldinho, Kaka or Riquelme, Mourinho would definitely have a headache. But now, their seemingly intensive coordination, smooth offense, and timely defense in the zone are all just paper tigers. As long as they use extreme speed, rhythm, or a step-by-step suppressive style of play, they can easily break this tactic.

Chelsea has absolute speed, fast-paced offense, and even its step-by-step suppressive offense is no worse than Bayern. As a result, it is uncertain how the next game will develop.

However, judging from the current situation, Bayern will definitely launch a massive attack, while Chelsea is best at defensive counterattacks.

Thinking of this, Mourinho was very satisfied with today's lineup. On the court, Robben and Joe Cole were both known for their speed, and Wang Li possessed the best speed among football players.

…………After the game resumed, just as Mourinho thought, Bayern Munich began a massive attack. In their home court, head coach Magath also believed that they should score as many goals as possible to find an advantage, so that they can play better away from home.

In the 28th minute, Bayern defender Lili Zarazu passed the ball to Ze Robert, who dribbled forward from the wing, but his speed was not fast. After being entangled by Lampard, he had no choice but to dribble the ball to the bottom line. During the fight between the two, Lampard kicked the ball out of the bottom line.

Bayern got a corner kick, but Frings' corner kick was easily cleared by Carvalho.

In the 31st minute, Chelsea launched a counterattack. Captain John Terry made a long pass to Wang Li, who competed with Kovac and easily got the ball. After that, Wang Li made a long pass to Robben on the wing, who then passed it horizontally to Joe Cole. Joe Cole shot from 25 meters away from the goal, but the ball hit Lucio's leg and flew out of the goal.

Afterwards, Chelsea's corner kick was cleared by Ballack's header.

In the 33rd minute, Chelsea counterattacked again. Hargreaves wanted to steal the ball from Lampard in the frontcourt, but the latter passed it to Wang Li. Wang Li took the ball and chose to take a long shot directly from the corner of the penalty area, but the ball was blocked in time by the opponent's defender Sagnol.

In the 34th minute, Bayern attacked and young player Guerrero got a chance on the left side of the penalty area. He tried a long shot which was very accurate, but unfortunately the ball deflected and was cleared by the Chelsea defender, allowing Bayern to win a corner kick.

However, Chelsea cleared the ball easily again.

...After nearly a few minutes of the game, Bayern's head coach Magath felt something was wrong, as if the situation was not developing in the direction he had imagined.

Bayern's attack did suppress Chelsea completely, but this suppression seemed to be more intentional on the part of the opponent, and Bayern's attack could hardly threaten Chelsea's goal. On the contrary, every time Chelsea counterattacked, it could pose a great threat to Bayern's goal!

But before Magath could figure out what was going on, the situation on the field had changed dramatically.

During this period of time, Wang Li has been trying hard to find opportunities. After 30 minutes of the game, he has already been familiar with Bayern's backcourt defense. Except for Lucio, the abilities of the other defenders are not enough to threaten his offense.

So, finding an opportunity, Chelsea launched another quick counterattack, but this time, facing the defense of two defenders, Wang Li did not choose to pass the ball... R. Kovac, Lizarazu!

These two defenders can be said to be Bayern's absolute main defenders. In the first 30 minutes of the game, they were responsible for defending Wang Li.

In the previous game, the two did quite well. At least Wang Li failed to score and his two shots were blocked. This made them feel that Chelsea's No. 21 was nothing special. When the team's attack failed again and the black-haired boy received a pass from his teammate, they still stepped forward to block Wang Li's attack route as before.

But in fact, Wang Li was just observing Bayern's attack and defense. He did not impulsively use his personal ability to force a breakthrough or shoot. Although it might score a goal, it was unwise and would not help him in the subsequent games at all.

During his nearly one season at Chelsea, he learned to play football with his brain.

Now, he has fully understood the strength of the two defenders in front of him. Only by surprising others can he have a better chance of scoring. Bayern's backcourt almost thought that he would pass the ball, but this time he chose to force a breakthrough!

Originally, facing these two guards, Wang Li still wanted to use some internal strength, moves, and technical breakthroughs. However, the two men in front of him seemed to be careless. They cooperated with each other to attack from both sides, and there was a gap in the middle when they closed the door.

This is not an opportunity for other players, but it is enough for Wang Li.

He just kicked the football with his toes, and the ball flew through the gap at a high speed. Then Wang Li easily took a step forward and passed between the two.

It was a simple move, but it shocked the whole audience!

Germany's playing style is not much better than England's. They also focus on physical strength and ignore technology.

Seeing Wang Li's beautiful dribbling, exquisite speed and strong breakthrough, which directly shook off the two people, the Bayern fans were shocked like country bumpkins, but in the blink of an eye, they immediately booed in unison, and some fans even shouted "sissy". Obviously, these fans may think that Wang Li's action is just fancy moves. Of course, on the other hand, this is also a kind of jealousy.

After passing Lizarazu and R. Kovac, there was a clear space in front of Wang Li!

None of Bayern's players realized that Wang Li could break through two people so easily, so their defense was extremely inadequate. At this time, Wang Li was in the left corner of the penalty area, but there were only two defenders in this position, and they were left behind by Wang Li.

Faced with this opportunity, Wang Li chose to shoot without hesitation!

For him, when there is no one guarding him, there is almost no difference between a 20-meter shot and a 10-meter shot. What he is best at is the powerful volley.

Amid the fans' screams of horror, the football instantly crossed the barrier of space and suddenly appeared in the net. During the whole process, Bayern's super goalkeeper Kahn had no reaction at all. This world's top goalkeeper was also stunned!

"The ball goes in! The ball goes in!"

Graham, the commentator of Sky TV, had obviously been waiting for a long time. When he saw Wang Li score, he shouted without hesitation: "Allen! St. Allen! He scored the equalizer for Chelsea! It's beautiful!"
