Chapter 117: Ending the defending champion’s road to defense (fourth update, please vote for me)
Chen Yingxiong's direct free kick hit the goal, and the few Liverpool fans in the stands burst into loud cheers.
And when Chen Yingxiong rushed to the stands and roared at the Bayern Munich fans in the stands, those fans roared with him: "We are here for revenge!!!"
At the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich fans fell into a brief silence because of Chen Yingxiong's goal. The stadium was taken over by Liverpool fans. Although it only took over for a few seconds, it was enough for Liverpool fans to They have made their voices heard.
Then the Bayern Munich fans finally reacted and suppressed the Liverpool fans with boos and curses.
But there is a voice in my heart that I can't suppress no matter how hard I try to get out - we may lose...
※ ※ ※
Neuer looked very angry when he lost the ball - he was not angry with his teammates. There was nothing wrong with his teammates about the ball. He was angry with himself.
Before the game, he said he would keep Chen Yingxiong clean, but he ended up scoring a goal.
After conceding a goal, he said that Chen Yingxiong's goal quota for this season is gone and he can only score one goal at most.
Well now, the opponent has scored two goals... I have been humiliated!
In fact, this conceding of the ball cannot be said to be his own responsibility.
At that time, he had tried his best, but there was nothing he could do to get the ball.
Because Chen Yingxiong's goal was a standard falling ball, but it was different from the previous ball that exceeded the crossbar and then dropped rapidly. The ball he shot went around the wall and began to fall rapidly. This kind of ball It is the most difficult free kick for a goalkeeper to save.
The goalkeeper would rather fly up and pounce on the ball in the corner. Nor willing to fall to the ground to save the ball.
I have to say that when Neuer pounced down, his movements were very stretched and graceful. But saving is not about whose movements are graceful...
Although it is not his responsibility to lose the ball, others will not think so. As long as he loses the ball, he will put the responsibility on the goalkeeper.
Neuer thinks so too. No matter what, if you lose the ball, you lose the ball, don't make excuses.
He clenched his fists, feeling angry.
Chen Yingxiong!
His goal is to become the number one goalkeeper in the world, but Chen Yingxiong is like a mountain that spans in front of him. If he cannot cross it, he will not be able to become the real number one in the world.
※ ※ ※
Another person who was unhappy with Chen Yingxiong's goal was Mario Gomez.
But Gomez was not angry, but depressed. His competitors have already scored two goals, but he has not scored a single goal in this game.
Bayern Munich did score a goal in the first half, but he was not the one who scored the goal. This was what made him most depressed.
He regards himself as Chen Yingxiong's competitor, not in the entire Champions League process, but as a competitor in this game.
He felt that he could compete with Chen Yingxiong in a single game.
Now, Chen Yingxiong has two goals, but he has none.
Who is strong and who is weak? I’m afraid the spectators outside the field already know it, right?
Mario Gomez had some depressing thoughts.
※ ※ ※
In fact, Neuer and Mario Gomez are typical symbols of the mood of the Bayern Munich team. Some people are angry, some people are depressed.
However, Magath no longer cares about regulating the players' emotions. He now has to find a way to score Liverpool's goal.
Now Bayern Munich is in a dilemma. If you attack, you may continue to lose the ball. If the game ends like this without attacking, Bayern Munich will also lose.
What a dilemma!
Magath, who was troubled by this problem, did not notice the changes in the players' emotions.
※ ※ ※
In the Liverpool dressing room, Martin O'Neill praised the team's performance.
Two away goals were scored at the enemy's home court. Just this performance was enough to make Martin O'Neill happy, not to mention that the team is still leading in the total score.
He is very relaxed, and so are the players. Even if the opponent equalizes the score or even loses the game because of underestimating the opponent, he is not worried.
What's more, he doesn't think the current team is likely to lose the game.
You must know that Liverpool has Chen Yingxiong, and Martin O'Neill knows best how much Chen Yingxiong wants revenge. If he wants revenge so much, can he allow Liverpool to lose the game away from home?
So in the second half of this game, Liverpool's players can play with a relaxed attitude.
※ ※ ※
After the start of the second half, the Bayern Munich fans in the stands were quite enthusiastic. Whenever Liverpool got the ball, they booed. During this time, Liverpool fans were silent again, but Liverpool fans were not in a hurry - Bayern Munich fans booed, and they just shut up.
They're not worried about their team, either.
Because after the first half of the game, they were all convinced of one thing - even if they didn't make a sound, the heroes could still hear their voices.
This time, they no longer need to shout out Chen Yingxiong’s name to ask him to come forward to help...
They can watch the second half of this game with a relaxed mentality. As time goes by, they are definitely not the ones who should be anxious!
※ ※ ※
Liverpool fans have the right idea.
Bayern Munich's offensive was quite fierce at the beginning of the second half, but after ten minutes, their offensive gradually slowed down.
Because they found that Liverpool's counterattack was also very sharp.
This Liverpool team is not only strong when it comes to positional warfare, they are actually better at defensive counterattacks!
Bayern Munich was eager to equalize the score in the second half and pressed forward to attack. Liverpool just retreated to defend and counterattack, leaving Chen Yingxiong in front. Even Sanchez and Bale had to return to defend, but this gave them space to sprint during the counterattack. As long as Chen Yingxiong can control the football in the frontcourt, Sanchez, Gotze, Bell and others can boldly counterattack.
When Chen Yingxiong's shot was held up by Neuer and hit the goalpost, Bayern Munich began to recover.
Because they know that if they continue to attack like this, it will only be a matter of time before they concede the ball.
You should calm down now. Even if you lose at your home court, losing 1:2 is better than losing 1:3 or 1:4.
We only lost one goal, and it doesn't mean that we are really hopeless even if we go to the away game.
But Liverpool didn't want to let them go. They were eliminated here last season. If it was just a small victory in the end and gave them hope of a comeback in the second round, it would be a bargain for them!
Therefore, Bayern Munich retreated to defend, and Liverpool pressed forward slightly, no longer insisting on defensive counterattacks.
Because the frontcourt attack lineup is strong enough, Liverpool's defenders do not have to press forward all at once, and then be counterattacked by the opponent.
That won't happen in this game.
※ ※ ※
In the 80th minute, Liverpool launched an offensive. Chen Yingxiong acted as a bridgehead in the frontcourt. He used his head to pass the football to his teammates and then stepped in. Gotze tried to break through, but he sent the football through a through ball. Going out, Gareth Bale received Gotze's through ball in the ribs of the penalty area, and then without any hesitation, he shot directly with his left foot and made an arc with his left foot.
The football went directly around goalkeeper Neuer's hands, hit the inside of the far post, and bounced into the goal.
"3:1! 3:1! Liverpool led Bayern Munich 3:1 in the away game! It's unbelievable! Is this the same Liverpool team that was eliminated by Bayern Munich last season? In just one summer, it happened Such a big change!”
"Bale's goal completely ended the suspense! Not only the suspense of this game, but also ended the suspense of the second round!"
"It's over, it's all over... The defending champion's road to defending the title is over!"
Under the announcers' announcements of excitement or frustration, Liverpool's players hugged each other tightly to celebrate the victory.
Bayern Munich's players were all stunned, and some could not accept this reality - as the defending champions, they completely lost hope of advancing to the next round in the first round of the quarter-finals...
※ ※ ※
When Bale scored, the tens of thousands of Bayern Munich fans in the stands of the Allianz Arena fell completely silent. They were all stunned by what they saw.
This time Liverpool fans showed off their voices and singing skills, and Bayern Munich fans did not stop them.
The Bayern Munich fans who surrounded them all held their heads in their hands and stared blankly at the players on the field, dumbfounded.
As for the cheers of the Liverpool fans behind them, they turned a deaf ear and could no longer hear them in their hearts.
As for the heroic words before the game, "We will make the Liverpool fans unable to pronounce a syllable for ninety minutes!", they have forgotten it to an unknown place.
Trailing 1:3, with little game time left, Bayern Munich almost couldn't come back in this game. And through this 80-minute game, everyone can see that Bayern Munich is indeed not on the same level as Liverpool.
They were able to defeat Barcelona and win the Champions League last season. It has to be said that they were just lucky...
※ ※ ※
Liverpool fans were singing and dancing in the stands. They waved their arms and shouted the name of Gareth Bale, the hero of the goal, and the name of Liverpool.
Later, they simply sang the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" to express their support and love for this Liverpool team.
※ ※ ※
Magath stood on the sidelines and sighed.
The game is over...
He even felt that his time at Bayern Munich had come to an end.
He brought a Champions League championship and a league championship to the team, but this tactic was too controversial. From the first day he used this tactic, the criticism in the media never stopped. He was tired too.
He turned around and walked back to the coaching bench, then crossed his arms over his chest and sat down without saying a word.
He no longer cared about what was happening on the field.
※ ※ ※
In the end, relying on Chen Yingxiong's two goals and Bell's finishing goal, Liverpool defeated Bayern Munich 3:1 in the away game, not only scoring three away goals, but also a victory.
This score has basically announced the end of Bayern Munich's title defense.
With Bayern Munich's tactics and strength, it is very difficult to beat Liverpool by more than two goals at Anfield.
However, for Bayern Munich supporters, what upset them the most was not just losing the ball, but what Chen Yingxiong said in an interview with reporters after the game.
"Now you believe that I am here for revenge, right?"
You have to believe it even if you don’t believe it, everyone is killing it so much that Bayern Munich is about to be eliminated!
