Chapter 397 Saint Allen King
On the field, the score is now 2:3, and Chelsea, playing away, has taken the lead.
But Wang Li's second attack did not change anything. Bayern Munich's players continued to attack according to Magath's tactics during the halftime break. Although Wang Li's one-stop attack just now shocked the players on the field, they also knew that Chelsea had the power to counterattack, and if the opponent was given a chance, the black-haired boy alone could easily break through the goal guarded by Kahn. However, as the top team in Germany, Bayern's players still firmly implemented the coach's tactics.
This is the Germans, the German team. Maybe it is a bit old-fashioned, but the perseverance in it is not something that ordinary people can do.
On the field, Bayern launched an attack again.
This time, Hargreaves did a good job on the wing. After shaking off the Chelsea defender, he passed the ball directly to Frings. It was a brilliant pass because Frings was in a very good position, near the left side of the penalty area. He could shoot from this position or pass the ball directly into the penalty area, which was very dangerous for Chelsea.
But in comparison, Freese is more 'old-fashioned'.
Because he was in this position, he had no confidence that he could score, and the previous time had proved that the opponent's goalkeeper's performance in this game was no worse than Kahn, so he had no confidence that he could score.
So, Freese chose to pass the ball to Ballack again.
During this period, Barak was very depressed because Wang Li followed him.
After Wang Li scored, although Chelsea was ahead in the score, the situation was still precarious under Bayern's massive attack, so Wang Li returned to the backcourt and followed Ballack. This made many Chelsea players look at Ballack, a 190cm strong man, with some sympathy.
True sympathy...
This time, seeing Freese pass the ball to him again, Ballack ran two steps towards the ball without thinking, trying to stop the ball directly. But at the moment when he slowed down, a black shadow rushed over, and the football left the predetermined rolling route and coiled at the feet of the black shadow.
Looking at the '21' behind the black shadow, Barak was filled with anger.
This is the third time.
Without thinking much, Ballack quickly ran back and joined the team's defense.
Ballack is a midfielder, not a pure striker. He has many advantages, talents and abilities in offense. In defense, he is also good, with accurate and fierce steals and decent defensive awareness - he is a qualified defensive player.
However, Ballack's speed is not that good. His tall stature gives him physical advantages, but also limits his speed and flexibility.
He ran back desperately, but found that the football was getting farther and farther away from him.
Chelsea's counterattack was too fast.
This attack was finally ended by Arjen Arjen Robben. Under the defense of Bayern players, the Dutch boy made a powerful shot that missed the post and threatened Kahn's goal, but of course it did not change the score.
After this lesson, Ballack no longer pushed forward so far and decided to retreat a little.
This was not a rash decision. In fact, although Ballack was tall, he was not stupid. He was very smart. Now the team's offense was difficult to be effective, and the head coach did not seem to have any intention of changing tactics. At this time, retreating slightly could make Bayern's offense more efficient, and it could also lead other players to slow down the attack a little, reducing the pressure on Chelsea to counterattack after stealing.
In fact, these are secondary, and the most important thing is that Ballack thought, "Since this black-haired boy is defending him, then he can also defend the black-haired boy." In this way, as long as one of them gets the ball, they can do a head-on duel---
Barak wanted to see how big the gap was between him and this boy who was less than 19 years old.
This is a rare opportunity.
For Ballack, the pursuit of the highest level of football is the highest pursuit of his career. Whenever he thinks of this, his nervous heart becomes hot in the fierce game.
So, the fans in the audience then enjoyed a fair one-on-one duel.
Ballack is half of Bayern's offensive core, and he is the most important person in Bayern's offense. Wang Li is undoubtedly Chelsea's offensive core, he is the initiator, passer, and even the goal scorer of the offense, and he is involved in every link of the offense.
Therefore, these two people have the ball very often.
However, this situation did not manifest itself on the field in the following game time - even though Ballack had retreated, he still could not get the ball.
Wang Li didn't know what the big man next to him was thinking. He just followed his own ideas, closely following Ballack, looking for opportunities to steal the ball and counterattack. He thought so and did so. Whenever a player passed the ball to Ballack, no matter how accurate the pass was or how tricky the angle was, with his graceful body movements and speed, Wang Li could grab it directly.
So, in terms of being defended, Ballack was completely defeated.
"Michael is in trouble, he can't get the ball..." Although the German TV commentator didn't want to mention this issue, the duel between Ballack and Wang Li on the court attracted most of the fans. Now the situation is obvious: "The opponent's No. 21 player Allen Wang did a great job in defense. He actually prevented Ballack from getting the ball. This is incredible..."
Graham of Sky TV said frankly: "...these two players are totally incomparable. Under Allen's defense, Ballack couldn't play because he couldn't touch the ball, while Allen used the passes from Bayern players to Ballack to steal and counterattack again and again."
"Oh my God, Allen is so outstanding. I didn't expect he has the potential to be a guard. He really can do everything..." The commentator of the ancient oriental court station.
After a few times like this, Ballack realized that after he chose to play 1v1 with Wang Li, he would not be able to get the ball using normal means.
During this time, Ballack tried almost everything, but he found that although he was much taller than his opponent, he had no physical advantage, and was even at a disadvantage in this regard. Just now, he squeezed a little harder and felt a burst of pain in his ribs, which made him feel incredible. He finally understood why this black-haired boy had not suffered any injuries throughout the Premier League season---
With this physical condition, it’s good enough that others don’t get hurt.
In desperation, Ballack retreated further back and decided to save face through defense. 'If I can't get the ball, I'll defend you instead, and you won't be able to get the ball either.' This is what he thought and what he did.
But it turned out that this idea was very naive.
When Wang Li discovered that the big guy next to him had retreated so far back and the intensity of Bayern's attack had weakened a lot, his mission was accomplished. In this way, there was no need for him to stay with Ballack at all.
Ballack wanted to challenge him one-on-one, but he had no such idea at all. He didn't think there was much point in defeating this big guy.
So, he began to wander around the center line looking for opportunities. As for the big guy who was following him, he chose to ignore him.
Although Ballack's defense is very good, there is still a gap between him and Lucio. It would be strange if he could do what Lucio couldn't do.
At this time, the situation on the field had changed with the duel between Wang Li and Ballack. Bayern's offensive was consciously weakened, and Chelsea's counterattacks were frequent and were about to evolve into active attacks.
In the backcourt, Makelele intercepted the ball from Frings and passed it to Wang Li. Although Ballack was next to Wang Li at this time, the Frenchman did not consider this at all. He did not think Ballack could grab the ball.
It turns out that this trust was not unfounded.
Facing the incoming ball, Wang Li ran to Ballack with light steps, stood in a horse stance, and squeezed him tightly with the back of his body. Otherwise, if he rushed forward, Ballack would feel that he had no strength in his body. The black-haired boy in front of him was like a thousand-year-old tree, with its roots entangled in the grass, and he could not squeeze him at all.
So, Wang Li calmly stopped the ball, then kicked it with his heel, and the ball passed between Ballack's feet. At the same time, he turned 180 degrees and quickly caught up with the ball.
Man-ball split
Barak was easily thrown off again.
This is just the beginning.
One minute later, Ballack defended Wang Li again. This time, the pass was from Arkin Robben. After Wang Li received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, facing the defense of Ballack and R. Kovac, he did not pass the ball. Instead, he swayed left and right, causing Ballack to lose his balance and almost fall on the grass. R. Kovac was even more unstable and fell directly on the grass. Then, the two of them stared at Wang Li as he shot a powerful shot at the goal.
Fortunately, this time Kahn showed his real strength, he roared, and punched the ball away with both fists, his angry eyes showed a sense of superiority, but in fact no one knew that under his ferocious appearance, Kahn's mouth was tightly grim, his wrists were lightly pinched, and he kept thinking "pervert" in his heart.
He felt like his hands were about to break.
Watching the black-haired kid holding his head in frustration and sighing, running towards his own half with the disappointment of not scoring a goal, Ballack turned his head to look at Kahn, then looked at Kovac, and the three of them smiled bitterly. Ballack felt that the white '21' on the kid's back seemed to be a deep mockery of him---
Singled out? Does it really make sense?
At this moment, Barak's resolute heart was shaken.
However, as an orthodox German, Ballack still tried his best to participate in the game.
Once again, Wang Li used his "shadowless kick" to dazzle Ballack, then easily shook him off and ran away with the ball. Ballack gritted his teeth, took a step forward and chased after the figure at the fastest speed.
"Oh?" The commentator at the Olympic Park Stadium lamented: "Michael was left behind. He was chasing the ball. He was trying hard..."
But hard work does not mean results, at least for Ballack now, the more he chases, the further he feels from Wang Li, which makes people feel a little desperate. Speed has always been his weakness, but for the team's victory, he has to keep working hard to play, but the effort without seeing the results still makes people feel numb.
"Does it make sense to do this?" At this time, Barak suddenly had this thought.
He turned around and saw the disappointment in his teammates' eyes and the silent Bayern fans in the audience. He didn't know what he was still holding on to here.
What's here?
What can I get here?
What am I pursuing?
Ballack didn't know all this. At this moment, he seemed to see the end of Bayern. At least, it would be difficult for them to win this game. In this passive situation, even the head coach Magath did not stand up to try to change the situation. It can be seen that the head coach did not have any good solutions. As an ordinary player, what can he do?
Ballack stopped panting, his hands on his knees, his eyes fixed on the black-haired kid who was struggling for position with his teammates in the Bayern penalty area, and an indescribable hope arose in his heart---
"If I had that kind of skill, could I change the passive situation by myself?"
This thought made him feel like his whole body was filled with heat
In today's world, football and basketball are two major sports for all mankind. Football games have always emphasized teamwork, while basketball games emphasize the individual.
In basketball games, often an outstanding star can easily change the situation of the entire team and allow the team to achieve absolute victory in a season. There are many such players, such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, etc. The skills of these superstars have reached a certain level. When this level of strength is brought into play, no one can even defend against them.
Football matches are different. Maybe a player's inspiration can win a game, but that is also the result of the team. Throughout the season, the team must rely on many players to achieve good results, so these European giants must recruit a large number of stars to supplement the team's lineup.
After all, football is a sport for 11 people, and the power of a single person is too small.
However, at this moment, Ballack felt that, in a football match, when a person's skills reached a certain level, he could also decide the victory of the game, just like the black-haired boy on the football field.
He alone can almost challenge half of Bayern's backcourt, or even more. If he has 2 or 3 strong teammates around him, then every attack is likely to threaten Bayern's goal. This is the current situation.
Although Ballack is already old, he feels that his strength has not reached its peak. He can pursue a higher level of competition, higher level teammates, and higher level skills. He suddenly feels that it is time for him to leave Bayern.
With this thought in mind, Ballack saw the black-haired boy, who, after receiving the pass from his teammate in the penalty area, deftly shook off Lucio and R. Kovac, and with a low shot, the ball passed over Kahn's hands and flew into the center of the goal.
2:4.
This result was really disappointing, but at this moment, Barak was not too disappointed, but felt a surge of heat in his heart, 'Have I already given up hope for the result? ', when he realized that his thoughts were a little wrong, Barak immediately thought.
'Or, I no longer have any attachment to this place, and it's time to leave?'
Without mentioning Ballack's thoughts, after seeing this goal, Sky TV, Court TV, England Sports Channel... and so on, almost all the media supporting Chelsea, all shouted out---
"The ball goes in, the ball goes in"
"Alan is Alan again and he scored a hat trick"
Graham was so excited, he was a pure Chelsea fan at that moment, "In the 86th minute, the 86th minute, Chelsea was leading by 2 goals in the away game at 2:4. When we were still worried about the situation of the game, Chelsea scored again. This goal allowed Chelsea to step half a foot into the final and into the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul. This goal absolutely made Bayern lose all fighting spirit, even in the Olympic Stadium"
"Hat trick after hat trick, I can't even remember how many hat tricks this is for Alan, how many goals he has scored in the Champions League, it's really too many to count, he is so strong, Saint Alan King, he deserves this name"
In the ancient country far away in the East, many fans also opened their beers at this time, either drinking alone at home or celebrating with friends.
As an English player, Wang Li's reputation in China has developed rapidly, but he has not entered the hearts of the general public. Many people know this name and know that he has performed well in the Premier League, but in fact, few fans really recognize him, especially those fans who have faith in their hearts.
Some of them like AC Milan, some like Inter Milan, some like Manchester United, and so on. It is not easy to get them to accept Wang Li, who is half Chinese.
But with this wonderful goal and Wang Li's outstanding performance in the second half, his image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If we make a statistics, his recognition among Chinese fans is already catching up with David Beckham.
It is incredible that Wang Li has gained such a reputation in just a few months. But it also shows how good he is. He is much better than those so-called big-name stars.
