Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 69 The Scary Bayern
Gerd Müller has been bitter about Bayern's loss to Chelsea in the Champions League final last season.

In that game, Bayern had the upper hand on the scene and kept playing against Chelsea, but the result was that they couldn't score.

Robben, Franck Ribery, Gomez, Muller and others missed the opportunity to score one after another, and were finally dragged into a penalty shootout by their opponents, and unfortunately lost the game.

If Bayern had Lin Quan last season with a player like Lin Quan who is sharp in dribbling in a small area, good at breakthroughs and good at running, maybe the result would be completely different.

After falling behind, Bayern immediately launched a crazy counterattack.

If it is said that at the beginning of the game, Bayern was still considering staying strong for the Champions League game four days later, and did not try their best in the game.

So at this time, they have been completely irritated, and they have long forgotten about the Champions League game!
They are like an angry lion, madly attacking Werder Bremen!
Bayern Munich's offensive was like a wave, and wave after wave kept hitting Werder Bremen's defense.

Werder Bremen is like a small boat in a storm, and may be swallowed by the opponent's attack wave at any time.

In order to defend their own goal, almost all Werder Bremen players retreated to their own half, and even the center Arnautovic retreated to the center circle to participate in the defense. Bayern's half is empty enough to run!

The situation on the field has been completely controlled by Bayern Munich. They continue to form an offensive, threatening Werder Bremen's goal time and time again.

However, Bayern's luck seems to be not very good. They had a total of 11 shots in the first half, but only 3 shots were within the range of the goal frame, and they did not score a goal.

Finally, after 45 minutes of hard work, the first half ended, and Bayern Munich returned to the dressing room with a goal behind.

On the other side, although the Werder Bremen players took the lead by one goal, the team couldn't see any joy from the top and bottom of the team. Only the players were panting heavily in the locker room.

In the last stage of the first half, Bayern's offensive was too fierce. Their impact was too strong, and they were very good at pulling and tearing Werder Bremen's defense line with repeated cooperation.

If the Werder Bremen players hadn't spared no effort to run, made up for the lack of skills and awareness with diligent running and active fighting, and had managed to stabilize the defense, they would have been defeated by Bayern at this time!
However, the price of doing so is also very high. After only playing for one half, the Werder Bremen players felt unprecedentedly tired.

According to this rate of consumption, they will definitely not be able to persist in the second half. After six or seven 10 minutes, the players may lose their energy.

In the locker room, the physical therapist is taking the time to massage and relax the players.

And Coach Schaff is deploying the tactics for the players in the second half.

"You guys did a great first half, I'm proud of you, but the game is not over yet, it's not our time to be happy!"

"In the second half, Bayern will definitely continue to strengthen their offense. Robben, Gomez and others will be replaced, and our wing will face a more severe test!"

The players nodded one after another. Ribery alone in the first half made them feel very difficult.

If Robben plays again and Bayern's Robbery combination is activated, their offensive firepower in the frontcourt will be upgraded to another level.

This is a huge test for Werder Bremen's defense!

"So, in the second half we played like this..."

……

On the other side, the visiting team's locker room.

After Heynckes arranged the offensive tactics for the second half, he found the team's forward Pizarro alone and said to him:
"Claudio, the team is in adversity and needs an old player like you to stand up!"

"Coach, just give your orders, and I will carry them out to the letter!"

"Very good, I will replace you in about 60 minutes, so after playing in the second half, don't worry about the consumption of physical energy, do everything possible to attack the opponent's defense line, consume the physical energy of their defenders, whether the team can win the game depends on You and Cross are exhausted!"

Heynckes saw Werder Bremen's physical problems, so he planned to make substitutions around 10 minutes into the second half.

The two who were replaced were striker Pizarro and midfielder Kroos.

Before replacing these two, he hoped that these two would run more, attack the opponent's defense line more, and consume the opponent.

In this way, when the substitute players are familiar with the rhythm of the game and officially enter the state, they can just catch up with the bottleneck period of the opponent's physical exhaustion.

In Bayern's formation, Pizarro is not the kind of absolute star.

As he is older, he has no advantage over Gomez and Mandzukic.

Therefore, Heynckes never placed too much expectation on him, but used him as a tool man.

Hearing what the old man said, Pizarro nodded expressionlessly.

Although he was not reconciled in his heart, he could only accept it helplessly.

After all, he is just a not so important rotation player in Bayern, and his status is far behind the absolute core when he was in Werder Bremen.

Being able to play football is already a good result for him, what extravagant hope can he have?

At the beginning of the second half, Bayern continued to speed up the pace of the game.

The ball flew back and forth in Werder Bremen's penalty area, and Werder Bremen's goal was once again severely tested.

Shaf held his chin, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He can clearly feel that the fighting of Bayern players is more fierce and active, especially the midfielder Kroos and forward Pizarro.

The two seemed to not care about the physical consumption at all, running tirelessly and attacking Werder Bremen's defense.

In order to prevent them, Werder Bremen even received a yellow card.

Schaf subconsciously looked at the coach bench on the other side, guessing the intention of the old coach Heynckes in his heart.

Bayern's bench is so luxurious, and personnel adjustments will definitely be made in the second half.

And the people who were replaced, he had already guessed, must be Pizarro and Kroos.

Because according to their current style of play, the physical fitness of the players is simply not enough to support them to play the whole game.

Heynckes is really ruthless, using this method to consume Werder Bremen, but Werder Bremen has nothing to do.

Schaf glanced at his team's bench and could only shake his head secretly.

Their bench depth is simply incomparable with Bayern Munich.

No. 60 minutes, the fourth official raised the substitution card, and Bayern Munich took the lead in making personnel adjustments.

No. 10 Robben came on and replaced No. 39 Kroos.

No. 9 Mandzukic played, replacing No. 14 Pizarro.

Seeing the adjustment of the opponent's personnel, Schaff immediately stood up from the coach's bench.

Mandzukic! ?
Bayern didn't play Gomez, but Mandzukic?

Originally in history, Gomez sprained his ankle in the Telecom Cup and Werder Bremen match, and he had to rest for 3 months after undergoing surgery.

But at this time and space, although Gomez was also injured, it was not his ankle, but a thigh strain. He recovered after six weeks of rest.

In the last round of the game, Gomez also played on behalf of the team and scored a goal, and his state is absolutely fine.

As a result, Heynckes did not replace him, but replaced Mandzukic?
Schaff was a bit confused about Heynckes' intentions, because in his opinion, Gomez must be better than Mandzukic, and Gomez and Bayern teammates cooperate tacitly, far better than Mandzukic in this summer window. The transferred newcomers are more adaptable to Bayern's tactics.

But Heynckes just didn't use him!
This made Schaff feel a little nervous. The opponent's substitution was beyond his expectation, which made him feel inexplicably worried.

After Robben and Mandzukic played, Bayern's style of play changed again.

Robben activated the connection, and Robben started a crazy breakthrough and cut inside on the right.

Elia, whose physical fitness had already declined, couldn't defend against the opponent at all, and was passed by the opponent time and time again.

And with the high point of Mandzukic in the penalty area, Bayern's header threat has been greatly improved.

In just 5 minutes of playing, Mandzukic completed two goals, and the threat was extremely high!

Schaff realized that something was wrong, and immediately made personnel adjustments. He replaced Elia and replaced Lukimya, using his height and strong physical fitness to limit Mandzukic.

At the same time, he moved captain Fritz forward from the left-back position, returned to the midfielder position, and began to play double midfielders to increase the protection of the front of the penalty area.

But this approach did not achieve very good results. On the contrary, after Elia left the field, Robben had more room to move on the right.

In the 75th minute of the game, Robben dribbled away after receiving a pass from his teammate on the right.

After making a cross exchange with Ribery, he suddenly made a pass from the bottom and passed it to Mandzukic in the penalty area.

Mandzukic had a chance to hit the goal himself, but after he stopped the ball in the chest, he shot his teammate and passed a nanny ball to Ribery who inserted later.

Ribery didn't waste the opportunity created by his teammates, he shot the ball into Werder Bremen's goal and equalized the score!

Werder Bremen led for most of the half-time score advantage, and it was gone!
