Chapter 151: The Declining Bayern Munich

In fact, Bayern Munich's recent poor performance is also related to their injuries.

Robben, the team's absolute main force last season and the top scorer who scored 23 goals, was injured at the beginning of the season and has yet to return. It is said that he may miss the entire season.

Robben's absence will have a great impact on Bayern Munich's strength.

He was an important contributor to Bayern Munich's ability to win the league and cup double last season and reach the final of the Champions League.

In addition, Ribery, another core player of the team, was also plagued by injuries at the beginning of the season. He played only 62 minutes in the fifth round of the league in Bayern Munich's 2:1 victory over Hoffenheim. He was replaced by Altintop due to injury.

In the subsequent sixth round of the league, Bayern Munich lost to Mainz, and in the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Bayern Munich defeated Basel in the field, and Ribery was not able to play.

And judging from his injury, it is very likely that he will not play in the next game against Dortmund.

With such serious injuries, it is naturally difficult for Bayern Munich's performance to improve.

In addition to injuries, Bayern Munich has hidden dangers in many aspects.

After the team's outstanding performance last season, Van Gaal may have thought that the magic has been accomplished, so he made very little move in signings.

But just at the beginning of the season, the team fell into a wave of injuries, leaving Van Gaal unavailable, which really gave him a sap.

In addition, Bayern Munich's defense has always been problematic.

Since they bought Lucio, who was playing in his prime, Bayern Munich has never had a reassuring candidate for central defender.

Van Buyten, Demichelis and Budstubel always make some inexplicable mistakes to prove their presence.

There was even a joke circulating online to mock Bayern Munich's defense.

After the teenager Paterson came to the first team of Bayern Munich, he met Budstuber. Budstubel asked Paterson: "Have you set any goals for yourself in the new season?"

"Score more goals than you concede," Paterson said.

Hearing this, Budstube laughed loudly and said, "Then you are doomed!"

In addition, the state of the old goalkeeper Bout has become unstable.

Some not-so-good rumors frequently spread between Van Gaal, the players, and the club's top management.

In short, all the performances of Bayern Munich this season are translated as a capital "bad".

Under such circumstances, they came to an away game to challenge Dortmund, who has been in good form recently, can they have any good fruit to eat?

Because Bayern Munich has been too bad recently. So much so that Dortmund players like Gross Kreutz are embarrassed to laugh at them anymore. Because there's no point in laughing at them either.

But Klopp doesn't think this game will be easy to play. He believes that Bayern Munich is a team with that special ability. When encountering adversity, they can often burst out with huge energy.

So if you look down on them. They'll leave you dead without a burial.

Before the game, his arrangements were still very cautious.

But Zhou Yi has a different opinion. He feels that his head coach is too cautious.

He has simulated many times in virtual space. Dortmund wins more than loses less.

Bayern Munich have been in really bad form lately, and it's hard to see signs that they might suddenly explode in this game.

Before the game against Bayern Munich, Zhou Yi looked very relaxed.

He didn't regard this game as a difficult game. In his opinion, the difficulty is far less than the Ruhr Derby.

※※※

Facts also proved Zhou Yi's judgment.

After the game starts. Dortmund, who is bent on revenge, is not something that Bayern Munich can beat.

At the beginning of the first half, Bayern Munich could still compete with Dortmund.

When the first half progressed to the late stage, Bayern Munich's defense began to have various problems...

"Van Buyten missed someone! What a risk! Mark almost scored!" Marcel Leif exclaimed. "It's a big miss... but it doesn't seem to surprise us at all. Because that's what impressed us the most about Bayern Munich's defense this season - they had four players at the back. It's a bomb, who knows when it's going to explode!"

Marcel Leif is like a prophecy. The bomb on Bayern Munich's defense really exploded!

Just a minute into the second half, Van Buyten sprained his knee in a defense and fell to the ground in pain...

"Ah. Van Buyten is injured. Judging by his painful appearance, it is very likely that he cannot continue. For Bayern Munich, the start of the season is really bad! Robben will miss half the season, Ribe Li has not recovered from his injury, and now they will add another Van Buyten to the injured list..."

The TV broadcast immediately cut to a close-up shot of Van Gaal on the sidelines, who was frowning and looking gloomy.

After Van Buyten was injured, Van Gaal replaced Demichelis.

However, this substitution may be completely worse for many Bayern Munich players.

If Van Buyten and Badstube are still time bombs in Bayern Munich's defense line, and it is unknown when they will explode, then Demichelis will directly detonate the bomb when he comes up...

But there is no way, who told Van Gaal to bring only the defender Demichelis to the West **** Stadium in this game?

So he can only replace Demichelis now.

It's not that Van Gaal doesn't want to bring more defenders, it's just that the current wave of injuries on the team has left him with no extra options on the bench.

Demichelis is already considered the most reliable substitute.

※※※

The game then continued, and Dortmund obviously took Demichelis' place as a breakthrough, and started to play here consciously.

Zhou Yi passed the football here again and again, and Mark, Shinji Kagawa and Gotze also took turns attacking Demichelis' defense zone, hoping to make him make mistakes in his busy schedule.

Such continuous pressure is effective.

In the 52nd minute, Zhou Yi once again passed the football to Demichelis' defense zone. Gotze went up to catch the ball, and Demichelis followed suit.

Unexpectedly, Gotze didn't stop the ball at all, but directly knocked the football back with his heel, and the football went behind Demichelis...

At this time, Mark took advantage of the situation and waded the football into the penalty area!

Then facing another defender Bad Stuber who came up, he made an action to shoot.

Budstuber didn't dare not stop him, he fell to the ground and stretched out his feet to intercept, but Mark kicked the football back and just dodged Budstuber.

Then he quickly took a shot, and the football flew into the goal from the tip of Bout's finger...

"The ball has been scored!!! The ball has been scored!" Norbert Dicole shouted from the stands holding a microphone. "We lead Bayern Munich 1-0! The one who scored the goal was Mark—"

He raised his voice.

Immediately after the stands, everyone shouted: "Wagner!!!"

Here, there are also Mark's parents. At this moment, they don't seem to be Mark's parents, but like ordinary die-hard fans. When they call their son, which is also their last name, they don't feel uncomfortable at all.

※※※

After Mark's goal, Dortmund continued to storm Bayern Munich's goal.

In fact, Van Gaal's Bayern Munich has a strong ability to play defensive counterattacks. Even Tao Wei, a guest commentator in China, analyzed why this summer, Van Gaal's team rarely signed, especially did not introduce defenders.

He believes that Van Gaal hopes to make the Bundesliga team feel that Bayern Munich's defense is weak, and then press up and attack Bayern Munich, so that Bayern Munich can play a defensive counterattack...

Let’s not talk about whether this kind of thinking is reliable, even if Van Gaal really thinks so... But Robben was injured before the start of the season. After the start of the season, Ribery was also injured in a few league rounds. The personal abilities of the two wings The strongest player can't play, what ability does Bayern Munich have to fight back?

Now that Dortmund can press so unscrupulously, it is to bully Bayern Munich that they do not have the ability to counterattack quickly.

In this game, Bayern Munich did not have a player with fast speed and outstanding personal skills in the midfield.

Even if they knew that there was space behind Dortmund, the ball could be passed, but no one could run up.

On the contrary, Dortmund got a lot of opportunities after continuous pressure.

Eight minutes after Mark's goal, he had another chance in the box.

But this time his shot was saved by Bout.

The football flew out of the penalty area behind him.

Zhou Yi appeared on the spot where the football landed, then stopped the ball, and then swung his feet to make a long shot, but it was just a fake move. After tricking Van Bommel into jumping over, he passed the football to Shinji Kagawa on the left.

Then he continued to rush into the penalty area.

Shinji Kagawa also understood what he meant by running like this, and then passed the football between the two Bayern Munich players, and Zhou Yi happened to run to that position. After receiving the ball again, he turned around and faced the goal.

This time, he swung his feet again, but no one could interfere with him again!

shoot!

The inner instep of the right foot made an arc, and the football ran forward against the turf, bypassing the goalkeeper Bute who fell to the ground to make a save, and finally rolled into the... goal by rubbing against the far post!

The ball went in again!
