Chapter 189 Falcao Scored Twice

Thomas Muller is an orthodox Bayern Munich player. He was born in Wilhelm, 40 kilometers outside of Munich. He is also a model for German players to become famous at a young age.

Can it be imagined?

At just 4 years old, Thomas Müller started his football career as a member of Wilhelm's Pal club while his peers were still frolicking.

After completing 7 years of training in the Parr club, Müller joined the youth training camp of Bayern Munich Football Club, and in 2007 in the German A-level youth league, played 26 times and scored 18 goals, helping the team win the 19-year-old The following Bundesliga runners-up.

In the 8 years of Bayern's youth academy, in addition to daily training, Muller also completed secondary school studies, and he has to take the train to and from the school and the training ground every week.

On August 15, 2008, in the Bundesliga match between Bayern Munich and Hamburg, Muller replaced Miroslav Klose in the last 10 minutes and completed his official debut in the first team.

In the summer of 2009, Muller was promoted to the first team of Bayern and became an official member of the first team.

From the beginning, Müller was positioned as Bayern's fifth striker after Klose, Gomez, Toni and Olic, but with his outstanding performance, Müller quickly took his place and also caused the likes of It is the attention of many German football legends such as Gerd Muller. Now Muller has become a recognized striker genius all over the world, and he is also regarded as the pinnacle of Bayern Munich's striker in the next ten years.

Thomas Muller's best performance was not in the Bayern Munich club, but in the German national team. While officially entering the Bayern Munich first team, Muller was also selected for the German national team.

The 2010 World Cup in South Africa was the battle for Muller's fame.

In the first round of the Group D group stage, Muller scored a goal and provided an assist for the German team, and then in the quarter-final against England, Muller scored twice to help the German team 4-1 beat England.

In the quarter-finals of the World Cup, Germany defeated Argentina 4-0. In the third minute, Muller completed his fourth goal in the World Cup.

The German team failed to enter the final. In the competition for the third place, Germany defeated Uruguay 3-2 and won the third place in the World Cup. Muller scored another goal in the game, scoring the fifth goal in the World Cup, and had three assists. He won the World Cup Golden Boot and the best rookie, becoming the youngest Golden Boot in history.

With such a performance in the German national team, Muller has naturally become the No. 1 striker of the national team. More importantly, Muller is only 22 years old. German players have always become famous late, and many of their peers are still in the youth team. However, Muller has become the golden boot of the World Cup. It is conceivable how many German fans will support Muller.

When Müller came on stage, the Bayern Munich fans gave huge cheers, and they hoped that Müller could play to help Bayern Munich score a goal.

After Thomas Muller played, it was of course impossible for Bayern Munich to rewrite the score for a short time, and two minutes later, taking advantage of a dead ball, Atletico Madrid also made a substitution adjustment - Raul Garcia changed Kevin De Bruyne.

In this regard, the stadium broadcaster Berbat commented, "Bayern replaced Muller in the hope that Muller can help the team score goals, while Atletico Madrid's substitution is obviously to strengthen the midfield."

After two months, Atlético de Madrid fans have gotten to know several players who have joined the team. Kevin De Bruyne's ability is good. He can be said to be the 'David Beckham' of Belgium. In terms of ability, he is indeed very similar to Beckham, but he is not the kind of pure midfielder. He is not very good in defense and support. In the 433 formation, perhaps he should play better Erkao's 'right forward' position.

Raul Garcia is different. He is a pure midfielder and has a very tough defense. As the old man of the team, he and his teammates need not say more.

This substitution adjustment is still easy to interpret, and whether it has any effect depends on the game.

After Muller's appearance, Bayern Munich wants to continue to strengthen the offensive and break the gate of Atletico Madrid in one fell swoop. If they want to get points, they must first score goals. Anything else is meaningless, so they have no choice.

But Atlético Madrid players know that - it's time to counterattack!

————

Bayern Munich has been attacking for a long time, so long is enough for Atletico Madrid to adapt to their offensive, and when it comes to attacking ability, Atletico Madrid admits that it does not lose to the opponent.

The reason why Bayern Munich can maintain continuous suppression is that, more importantly, Bayern Munich is a backward side. They have a heart to fight. Atletico Madrid don’t have to fight like that. , so it is more important to stabilize the defense before.

But it is impossible for any team to attack the whole game all the time, just like Atletico Madrid in the first 20 minutes of the first half, they must slow down the pace and make some adjustments to ensure the state and performance of all players.

Same goes for Bayern Munich.

Although they have been looking for attacking suppression, except for Thomas Muller, who just came on stage, the other players have not kept up with their physical fitness and energy. If they were not eager to score goals, their rhythm would have slowed down.

Atletico Madrid is going to counter-press back and force them to slow down.

On the field, Thomas Muller got the ball.

Heynckes has high hopes for Muller. In the case of Gomez's poor performance, he can only rely on Muller to be better. In fact, he does not like to put pressure on a young player. He won the 'World Cup Golden Boot', but after all, he is only 22 years old. In the eyes of many people, Muller is still too young. In another 2 or 3 years, he will truly grow into a 'general', but now Bayern Munich Can only rely on young Muller.

Thomas Muller got the ball and met Rafael Varane.

Before on the bench, Muller noticed Varane, a teenager four years younger than himself, but he successfully froze Gomez, which must not be underestimated.

Muller glanced left and right and found that his teammates were not in a good position, so he still chose to grab Varane's point. Like Gomez's idea, as long as he broke through Varane, he would have the opportunity to face the goal. .

But Mueller also failed!

When the two were about to touch, Muller twisted his body to the left and raised his left foot, as if he wanted to pass the ball, but Varane was not fooled, and now Varane's personal ability has grown Many, he is already an excellent central defender, it is difficult to deceive him with ordinary movements, and he is not moved at all when he sees Muller's movements.

Varane was not fooled, and Muller hurried to protect the ball. He was much more cautious than Gomez.

But at this moment, Varane suddenly stretched out his right foot. Muller did not expect that the opponent would take the initiative to stretch his foot. He couldn't react in time, and the football under his feet was hit by Varane's toe.

The football rolls behind you.

Raul Garcia, who just played, grabbed the ball. When the football was at his feet, Garcia was even a little dazed. He didn't expect to receive the ball as soon as he played.

But he reacted immediately - isn't this the best chance to fight back!

Raul Garcia no longer hesitate!

He gave the ball directly to Morris in the front left. Morris was in the middle. In defense, he mainly paid attention to the front of the penalty area. When Raul Garcia got the ball, he immediately ran forward.

The two are in perfect harmony!

When Morris received the pass, he turned his back to the attacking direction. There were Bayern Munich players behind him, and Schweinsteiger was also on his side. If he dribbled the ball at this time, it would definitely delay some time. , and it will also increase the risk of counterattack, so Morris decisively chose to pass the ball.

Morris handed the ball to Mario Suarez on the side, and immediately continued to charge forward.

Schweinsteiger, next to him, didn't switch to defending Mario Suarez, because he knew it didn't make sense at all, and he ran with Maurice.

But when the two rushed together, Schweinsteiger found the gap!

Morris is 34 years old!

A 34-year-old player, logically speaking, his physical fitness should decline in an all-round way, not to mention his explosiveness, but the two of them rushed forward at the same time, and within a few steps, he and the other side pulled down two or three positions!

How is this possible!

Schweinsteiger was very surprised. He kept charging forward, only to find himself getting further and further away from Morris.

"No wonder he got the Ballon d'Or..." Schweinsteiger smiled wryly.

At the same time, Mario Suarez also passed the ball to the wing Ozil.

Ozil is quite fast.

He received the ball and launched a counterattack on behalf of Atletico Madrid.

————

In the eyes of Bayern Munich players, Atletico Madrid's counterattack is no different from the previous one. The opponent also counterattacked several times before, but failed to threaten.

This time will be no exception!

Under this mentality, Robben, Ribery, and forward Thomas Muller were not in a hurry to retreat, but waited in the frontcourt, hoping that the teammates in the backcourt could stop them, and Throw the ball back.

It's not surprising that Thomas Muller has no defensive assignments.

Robben and Ribery are different.

As side avant-gardes, the two of them must have defensive tasks, but up to now, Bayern Munich has been attacking for so long, and their physical fitness and energy have not kept up.

This thought is just comforting.

Robben and Ribery think so, other Bayern Munich players are not much better, they are thinking about how to break the Atletico Madrid goal, rather than how to deal with Atletico Madrid's counterattack.

Soon they knew they were wrong!

Under the 'B-TF' tactical system, Atlético de Madrid's counterattacks are all over the line, and even the two full-backs and central defenders have moved forward significantly, regardless of the position of Bayern Munich's frontcourt players.

When Ozil dribbled the ball towards the bottom line, left back Felipe Kasmirski had already followed, and Bayern Munich's right midfielder Ribery had just crossed the midline.

Watching Atletico Madrid's counterattack, Ribery already felt the crisis.

Ribery has played for Derby County before, where he became famous. He is very impressed with Wansheng. He clearly knows Wansheng's ability to lead the team and some of Wansheng's tactical ideas, although a lot has passed. But in fact, Atletico Madrid's play style still has the shadow of Derby County's tactics.

A wave of counterattacks, pressing on the whole line!

Atlético de Madrid now is much tougher on the offensive than Derby County back then.

That's it, Ribery realized that the team was a threat. In the few years in Bayern Munich, his running has become a little used, and he has forgotten the feeling of running around the field when he was in Derby County. Maybe some teammates think that. Atlético de Madrid players kept running back and forth, almost wasting their energy, but it was because of this that Derby County could win the Premier League title that year.

now what?

Will this wave be a 'waste of physical energy'?

Ribery ran back and couldn't help but look to the sidelines, the familiar figure was standing there, as if feeling the attention, Wan Sheng also looked over.

The two looked at each other.

Wan Sheng smiled and nodded to Ribery, who was panting and had no expression.

At the same time, Felipe Kasmirski also received the ball, he crossed the ball to Mario Suarez, who followed, and Suarez passed Raul Garcia.

Atletico Madrid's continuous crosses made it impossible for Bayern Munich to make key defenses.

This is a classic counter-attack routine in Atlético de Madrid's daily training.

When many teams counterattack, the emphasis is on speed, but Atletico Madrid is different. Their speed is already fast, so there is no need to emphasize too much. Instead, the efficiency of the counterattack needs to be paid attention to.

How can we increase the efficiency of the counterattack?

That is to make the counter-attack more tactical. In the counter-attack on the whole line, Atletico Madrid easily occupies the advantage of the number of players. They pass the ball continuously, which delays some time, and also makes the defense arranged by the opponent lose. effect.

That's it right now.

In the face of Atletico Madrid's counterattack, Bayern Munich quickly organized the defense, but the defensive line they built was on the left side. Atletico Madrid used continuous crosses to send the ball to the right side.

The player's movement is definitely not keeping up with the ball.

When the football reached Raul Garcia's feet, Bayern Munich had no choice but to defend him.

Raul Garcia's position is facing the goal. Bayern Munich's central defender Bud Stuber came and sealed it in the middle, but Raul Garcia did not choose to break into the penalty area by himself, but handed the ball to the right of the penalty area. side.

There, Falcao followed!

————

"Falcao—!!"

Calderon Stadium broadcast Berbat shouted, "This is a good opportunity! Falcao!"

All eyes were on Falcao because he was rushing to the football, because he was unguarded, and what happened next could be imagined.

"Falcao has a great chance!"

No need for the narrator to remind him, Falcao had already reached his position, and he raised his right foot without hesitation--

Big shot!

The football roared towards the far corner of the goal!

After finishing the shot, Falcao stared at the football with a fierce face, as if staring at the enemy of life and death.

"Falcao—"

"—Shoot!!"

Amid Berbat's roar, the football hit the left post and bounced into the net.

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Neuer flew to make a save, but Falcao's shot was too powerful and the speed of the football was too fast for him to keep up.

The next moment, the Calderon Stadium broke out!

The sound of the tsunami of Atlético de Madrid fans made the stadium into an unprecedented heat. Atlético de Madrid's second goal, which can also be said to be the goal to seal the victory, completely mobilized the enthusiasm of the fans.

German media and fans were stunned.

In the eyes of many German media and fans, Atletico Madrid participated in the Champions League for the first time in more than ten years. Even if they played well in La Liga last season, they are like Werder Bremen who can win the league title 'occasionally' , Stuttgart, Schalke 04 and other teams, to the UEFA Champions League is not the same.

Bayern Munich is completely different.

Bayern Munich is a traditional giant in Europe. Even if the domestic league results are not good, their rich game experience makes them feel like a duck to water in the European war.

Therefore, for the four teams in Group A, the most promising one is Bayern Munich, followed by Manchester City and Atletico Madrid, which are the 'new Champions League'.

Then, it doesn't seem to be the case...

The German media are full of expectations for the game at the Calderon Stadium. They hope that Bayern Munich can get a good start in the Champions League, but so far, Atletico Madrid has scored two goals, and Bayern Munich has not scored a goal.

Two goals behind!

The German media and fans are somewhat unacceptable.

Atlético de Madrid fans no matter what their opponents think, they desperately shouted their best wishes for the team's goal!

————

Falcao stood in a daze on the field.

When he finished the shot, his mind was blank, and the only thing he thought about was to score the ball, but after finishing the goal, he suddenly felt a little confused.

"I scored another goal?"

"I scored two goals against Bayern Munich?"

After the brain stopped running for two or three seconds, under the cheers of the entire team, Falcao finally reacted. He jumped up suddenly, raised his arms and shouted, and then roared wildly.

Before his teammates caught up, Falcao ran directly to the sidelines. He made a move that made the fans in the audience stunned - jumped forward with force, and slid and kneeled directly on the grass.

This action... is very difficult!

Wan Sheng was a little stunned, he was afraid that Falcao would be injured in such a celebration.

Other teammates also rushed over, and many people gave a thumbs up to Falcao's celebration--

"……sharp!!"

"The action is so cool!"

"You're not hurt! You startled me!"

Falcao smiled excitedly and hugged every teammate who came over, he knew this moment belonged to him. (To be continued ~^~)
