Chapter 1006 Passive
At the Allianz Arena, the home fans were celebrating wildly, and even a large number of fans were shirtless and waving their jerseys. You must know that the temperature in Germany in early April did not exceed 5 degrees, and the players on the field were all wearing long sleeves.
"It's unimaginable in the first minute and 23 seconds of the game!" Zhan Jun looked at this scene in surprise, "De Gea's goal was lost in 1 minute and 23 seconds."
"Alderweireld was obviously a beat slower." Zhang Lu said frustratedly: "Alaba's breakthrough was very decisive..."
Although Sun Wu had already explained before the game that Bayern's left back Alaba was very capable of assisting, Pavard still could not resist.
Bayern successfully scored in their first attack, which was bad news for Manchester United.
Draxler took the ball on the left wing, and Bernardo Silva retreated to defend, but the former sent a cross. Alaba took the ball in the ribs and forced a breakthrough through Pavard into the penalty area.
Alderweireld's defense was delayed for a beat, and the Austrian full-back sent an inverted triangle pass first. Ronaldo attracted Kanter's attention outside the penalty area, and Thomas Muller, who ran diagonally into the penalty area, reached the point. The push shot from the ball point hit Lucas' heel and scored.
"Manchester United paid the price." The German commentator gloated: "Manchester United trained Thomas Muller into a world-class star, but sold him to Bayern Munich for 60 million pounds..."
Mike Phelan and Rolf looked ugly on the sidelines. Among the Premier League and even European giants, Manchester United ranked second in terms of goals scored in the first ten minutes of this season. The first was Manchester City. This is different from their high opening position. The pressing tactics have a lot to do with it. Unexpectedly, instead of scoring this time, we conceded the ball.
Glancing at Alaba who was grinning widely, Sun Wu sighed. He had been eyeing Alaba when he was still in the Bundesliga. Unfortunately, this guy showed up too quickly, and Bayern has always lacked a world-class star on the left. Bayern will not let him go no matter what.
"Bah bang bang!" Sun Wu clapped his hands and gathered his teammates, "Don't worry, we have enough time to reverse the score."
It’s hard to say who can gain a foothold in a wealthy club like Manchester United and be selected by Sun Wu, but at least his psychological quality is excellent.
But even so, Bayern's successive attacks put great pressure on Manchester United's midfield and backfield. Although Robery did not start, resulting in a lack of breakthroughs, Draxler's distribution and Thomas Muller's ghosts Movement, Alaba and Lahm's constant forward assists brought enough trouble to Manchester United.
"Bang!" Sun Wu couldn't hold back and shoveled Ronaldo from the side. He got up and shouted loudly: "Andel, Andel!"
Herrera raised his hand to indicate that it was his own problem. His attention was attracted by Thomas Muller who was inward. Thiago moved forward to contain Kante. Ronaldo took the ball without anyone defending and turned to face the goal. The Colombian midfielder has scored 8 long-range shots from outside the penalty area this season, and Sun Wu was forced to bring him down.
With a sullen face, Sun Wu made a gesture to Griezmann and Falcao in front, indicating that he should come back to defend and withstand this wave of offensive.
But the situation still did not improve. Sun Wu retreated to make the center slightly safer, but Bayern's wings still firmly suppressed Manchester United. Alaba, Lahm, and Draxler kept making fuss on the wing, and Thomas Muller and Lewandowski Dorfsky and Ronaldo also kept running sideways left and right trying to find loopholes in Manchester United's defense.
In the 10th minute, Ronaldo sent a wide arc pass from the left rib. Thomas Muller ran in a roundabout way and inserted in front of Lucas and nodded the ball in the back.
Lewandowski beat Alderweireld and headed the ball slightly over.
In the 13th minute, Alaba made a comeback and once again forcibly broke through Pavard. This time Alderweireld made a timely defense, but he did not intercept the ball, but overturned Alaba a little outside the penalty area.
"This is the first yellow card in this game." Zhan Jun shook his head, "But Alderweireld has been shuffled in the quarter-finals, but his partner Van Dijk still has a yellow card."
"The angle is very small... Thiago... is directly attacking the goal!"
"boom!"
"Thiago's curling ball hit the near post!"
"It's just a little bit close. If it hits the door frame, there is nothing De Gea can do..."
Sun Wu turned his head and glanced at Heynckes who was quiet on the sidelines. The old coach's choice today surprised him.
After carefully taking stock of Bayern's game data in the past two seasons, Sun Wu made a basic judgment on Heynckes. This is a relatively balanced coach in terms of formation, offense and defense. He will not press high positions without any worries, and will not He will not shrink back and put the bus. The Bayern team in his hands has a distinctive feature, it is very orderly.
Lahm and Alaba are both world-class full-backs. The two of them pressed forward to the 30 or even 20-meter area at the same time, and Thiago in the center did not retreat to protect but pushed forward. In the past two years at Bayern, Very rare in competition.
Sun Wu thought in his mind that maybe this was related to the lack of strong breakthrough ability of Draxler, Thomas Muller and Ronaldo, but it was more likely that this was a strange move made by Heynckes.
While constantly running and sweeping outside the penalty area, constantly checking for leaks and filling gaps, Sun Wu carefully watched the positions of Bayern players from a "God's perspective".
Thiago moves forward very frequently, and Ronaldo moves more in the ribs, which also leaves room for the former to move forward. Javi Martinez always stays in the midfield and backcourt to guard against Manchester United's counterattack. His position is sometimes Further back than Hummels and Boateng.
Draxler always stayed wide, Thomas Muller...well, sometimes he didn't quite understand the movement of this guy. It was normal for him to lose position, so although Lahm pressed deeply, But always behind Thomas Müller.
Sun Wu's eyes fell behind Draxler and Alaba, which was a very, very empty field.
Alaba underestimated Manchester United too much, or Heynckes underestimated me too... Sun Wu pursed his lips tightly. Of course he could see that Javi Martinez stayed in the backcourt to make up for it. This gap.
Moreover, Bernardo Silva is not fast, which is also a key factor for Alaba's courage to press.
This is a vulnerability that is easy to find but difficult to exploit.
Sun Wu was a little hesitant. He had a way, but there were too few people in the frontcourt to threaten the goal guarded by Neuer.
At this moment, Alaba, who was on the rise, moved to the middle. Sun Wu was not careful about being brushed by the opponent.
"It's over... Alaba!" Adam Simpson shouted: "Long shot!"
"boom!"
Van Dijk rushed up to block the shot with his back, but then Ronaldo took the ball and volleyed it from the line of the penalty area. De Gea made a side dive and hit the ball out of the baseline.
"The situation is too passive!" Zhan Jun spoke nervously a few minutes faster, "Bayern is completely suppressing Manchester United. In 20 minutes so far, Bayern has had 6 shots, 1 goal, and 1 goal post. , the other 4 times were all within the door frame!”
Zhang Luyouyou added: "Manchester United has not had a shot so far..."
Sun Wu also knew that he was too passive. If he continued, it would be almost inevitable to lose the ball. Although he was not sure yet, he had to start, at least to make Alaba be honest.
