Chapter 299: The Strongest Almighty King
The Robery combination is still galloping on the two wings of Manchester United, and every time they dribble the ball makes Kintag frightened.
Although De Gea performed very well in this game, if the Robery combination continues to be so impactful, it will be a matter of time before the goal is conceded.
And there is center Mandzukic in the middle, he is also a very strong center.
In the 24th minute of the game, Bayern's offense came again.
This time it was Robben's consecutive breakthroughs on the left. Neither Martial nor Valencia could stop Robben. .
"The frequency of Robben's feet is very fast, he passed Martial! Valencia can't catch up with him at all!"
"Roben's cross, the ball found Mandzukic!"
"De Gea is on the alert, waiting for this goal!"
"Mandzukic didn't shoot, he headed sideways!"
"Franck Ribery suddenly appeared, he volleyed! The goal is scored!!! Bayern lead Manchester United 1-0 away!"
"The subtlety of this ball is that Robben's consecutive breakthroughs from the left created an opportunity for Mandzukic to find that his position was not good in the middle. He selflessly chose Ribery, who came in after the header was ferried, to go in at high speed and hit the goal directly. ! De Gea is going to defend Mandzukic and shift his focus early, so he is already out of position, and he has nothing to do with this ball!"
"Bayern attacked wildly for 20 minutes and finally got the desired result!"
At this time, the away fans who came with the team celebrated loudly and expressed their satisfaction with the team's lead.
But Guardiola on the sidelines just applauded and didn't make too excited moves. It seemed that he had expected this result a long time ago.
The Manchester United fans were a little disappointed, but they still suppressed the cheers of the Bayern fans with their loud cheers, and continued to cheer for the Red Devils.
Kick-off again, the game continues.
Kintag looked at the players on the sidelines. He was very quiet at the moment, without any frustration of losing the ball, and he did not make any tactical adjustments to the team.
Because he understands that his players have worked very hard, and they are not to blame for the conceded goal.
There is still time in the game, Manchester United still have a chance!
Since Kim Tiger took over the Manchester United coach last summer, he has chosen to continue the 442 formation and the two-wing style of play in the Ferguson era. Because Giggs' physical condition has declined rapidly and Nani's state is unstable, Kim Tiger is decisive. Righteous new aid Mahrez and Martial, let them become the two full-backs of the team, and become the carrier of the new wings.
And in more than half a season, the two of them have galloped in the Premier League with their excellent foot skills and dribbling ability, and they have become the two major weapons for Manchester United to destroy the city.
But today, Mahrez and Martial misfired. The two of them did nothing in the attack, and the one defended by Bayern had no chance. These two young players did nothing in front of the sophisticated Bayern defense. Except for Mahrez who used his speed to create some opportunities, Martial was even more tightly marked and had no chance at all.
And in this game, because of the impact of Robery's combination, Evra and Valencia were firmly pressed in the backcourt, without any chance to move forward, and could not provide any help for Mahrez and Martial .
Jin Taige stood on the sidelines, staring closely at the situation on the field, motionless.
Since the first day of coaching until now, Kintag feels that today's game is his most difficult game, and Bayern is his most difficult opponent. Even in that 1-4 defeat to Manchester City, Kintag only had anger and vengeful anger in his heart, without any fear or lack of self-confidence.
but at the moment,
Jin Taige suddenly gave birth to a trace of despair. He has played all the cards in his hand, and the team can only play like this, being overwhelmed by Bayern. Jin Taige looked at the bench. He didn't think his substitute players could turn the tide and change the situation on the field, so he had to continue to rely on the players on the field.
Jin Taige was a little anxious. He shouted at the players on the sidelines: "Go out! Use offense to relieve the defensive pressure!"
Kintag was in a hurry, and the players on the Manchester United field were even more anxious. Although they had only played for about half an hour, they were already sweating profusely. Their opponents seemed to have one more player on the field than them. Both can create offensive opportunities. Hearing Jin Taige's shout, the players also gritted their teeth, they can't always be in such a passive situation, they must strive for the opportunity to counterattack!
In the next period of time, Manchester United gradually adapted to Bayern's style of play, not as hasty as it was at the beginning. Kintag arranged and adjusted the defensive formation on the field: he let Kanter use his ability to run in a large area to help Valencia on the right to defend Robben while Smalling closely guarded Mandzukic , Liberate Vidic, let him attack properly, and prevent Ribery from going forward.
Under Manchester United's series of tactical changes, they gradually gained a firm foothold. And Mahrez and Martial also have more opportunities to move forward.
But even though they had a chance, they couldn't break through Bayern's penalty area at all. The flames of the war had just burned through halftime before being extinguished by one person.
This person is Bayern's field captain Lahm.
There is a very classic joke.
Someone once asked Guardiola: "Who do you think is the best left-back and right-back in the world?"
Guardiola replied directly: "It depends on which side Lahm plays."
"Then who do you think is the best midfielder in the world?"
Guardiola's answer is also very positive: "It depends on whether Lahm plays the midfielder."
"Then who do you think is the best midfielder in the world?"
Guardiola's answer is still very firm: "It depends on who the player is with Lahm."
Jin Taige didn't know whether these words were true, but Lahm's strength should not be underestimated. Since this season, Guardiola has built Ram into a defensive midfielder, and Ram has once again demonstrated his plug-and-play characteristics. His super high ball quotient allows him to still play well in the defensive midfielder position.
In today's game, Bayern's commander is Lahm. He dispatched the team in midfield and made Manchester United suffer. In the offense, Lahm was in charge of dealing the cards, deciding the direction of the team's offense. Now that Manchester United had come out, he led the defense and completely extinguished the signs of Manchester United's offense. Although Ram is not tall, his defensive positioning is very precise, and his prediction of the ball is also world-class. The defense he leads makes Manchester United's offensive players feel desperate.
Facing the powerful Bayern, Manchester United players have nothing to do. At this time, a player is needed to stand up and help Manchester United out of the predicament!
