Chapter 778: A chance to change the game
(No surprise, this final should be written tomorrow, and I still owe it before, and I will make it up in the last two days, so ask for some votes at the end)
Finally, when the game reached the 80th minute, the first substitution of the game appeared, from Bayern Munich, which was unexpected and reasonable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Veteran Van Bitten replaced Schweinsteiger, Timoschchuk moved forward to the central midfield, and Kroos followed suit to move forward to central midfield.
"It was a bold substitution, and does Schweinsteiger's departure signal that Heynckes has given up on deciding the outcome of the game in normal time and is ready to drag the game into a penalty shoot-out?"
Indeed, Schweinsteiger, who has been the true heart of Bayern Munich's midfield this season, has now replaced him with a defender, which naturally leads to speculation as to whether he is prepared to rely on defense to drag the game into a brutal penalty shoot-out.
Everyone knows how important this game is, but for Heynckes' substitution, the party Schweinsteiger is not dissatisfied.
Because he knows very well that his mentality at the moment is really not a problem, if it weren't for the performance of his teammates who are too good, maybe he will become a sinner completely.
Of course, this is not an escape, but to face up to his own mistakes, such an important game, a little mistake can ruin the whole game, not to mention that he let go of such a big mistake.
And when Bayern Munich made a substitution, Van Basten also stood up and looked at the bench, at the moment, Manchester City's players had just finished warming up.
With Van Basten's gaze, everyone on the Manchester City bench looked at Van Basten with anticipation, as said before, who doesn't want to play in such an important game as the Champions League final.
Van Bitten's situation Manchester City's players have said to understand, especially the more aging Van Bitten, although the defensive ability is still there, but his shortcomings in turning speed and flexibility are becoming more and more obvious.
Obviously, after the replacement of Van Bitten, Dzeko's role will definitely be reduced, although Dzeko is not clumsy, but it also varies from person to person.
Van Basten clearly has the idea of making a substitution at the moment, bringing on a more flexible and running player, and at the moment on the Manchester City bench, Balotelli is undoubtedly the best candidate.
When he moved his gaze to Balotelli, a hint of hesitation flashed in Van Basten's eyes, he knows best that Balotelli has improved as a manager this season, but Balotelli has hesitated Van Basten in his previous actions.
For Manchester City at the moment, Balotelli is a double-edged sword, even an uncontrollable double-edged sword, and it is more likely to hurt himself, after all, no one knows what Balotelli will do on the field.
Eventually, Van Basten took his eyes off Balotelli and called out the not-so-surprising name, Adam Johnson.
As for Balotelli, when Van Basten's eyes took off him, the expression on the Italian's face changed slightly, not disappointed, but a hint of anger and indifference.
Then Manchester City also made a substitution, Adam Johnson came on, replacing striker Dzeko, then Aguero moved across the middle, and Adam Johnson appeared in Aguero's original position.
'A targeted substitution, but it was a bit of a surprise for Van Buss to have that substitution because Balotelli was still on the bench.
"Maybe ~~~ After this game, the team that is interested in Balotelli can ask Manchester City for a price, but the giants should also be careful, with the situation of Manchester City, it seems that they will definitely have to make some moves in the front line this summer."
Of course, Balotelli's problems in this game are just an episode, and the real focus is still on the game, which is now in the final moments, and the substitution choices made by the two teams at the moment are very different.
Bayern Munich's substitution was clearly aimed at strengthening the defence, with the intention of taking the game to a penalty, while City's substitution must have been intended to decide the outcome in normal game time.
After the substitution, Manchester City launched a decisive attack, passing a few feet, the ball came to Li Feng's addition, and Bayern Munich began to retreat in full.
Timoshchuk was very careful, from the beginning of the match, he kept a safe distance from Li Feng, and his attention was very concentrated, and when Li Feng wanted to use his explosive power, Tymoshchuk would immediately foul him.
Timoshchuk is an old fritter, and his familiarity with Li Feng is not inferior to Schweinsteiger, if Schweinsteiger is Li Feng's first partner, then Timoshchuk is second.
In this case, Li Feng chose to split the side, Adam Johnson, the new Manchester City winger is the most physical player on the field, and the defense he faces is also the weakest link of Bayern Munich's defense, Contento.
The next two waves were all launched from the right side of Manchester City, the first wave of attack was from Li Feng's side, Adam Johnson used his abundant energy to directly attack the Contento defence, and finally completed the bottom cross.
It's just that this cross was a high ball, which was cleared by Van Bitten, and Bayern Munich turned to attack, but just when the ball just crossed the half, the ball returned to the feet of Manchester City.
Kroos was blocked by Li Feng and Yaya Toure this time, the ball was poked away by Yaya Toure, Silva took the ball, a big foot shift, and once again came to the feet of Adam Johnson.
It's just that this time Adam Johnson didn't cross from the bottom, but directly held the ball and cut inside, but the kick was really bad, and the ball flew out of the bottom line.
A minute later, the referee took out the second yellow card of the game, and I have to say that the situation in this game was still a little unexpected.
After all, the game had just begun, and Bayern Munich got a yellow card, but when the referee took out the second yellow card, the game was almost over.
A foul from Contento, when Adam Johnson was about to attack Contento for the third time, the Bayern left-back told Adam Johnson with a vicious flying tackle not to treat him as a soft persimmon.
And although he got a yellow card for the foul this time, it did make Adam Johnson relent, and in the next few minutes, although Adam Johnson was still active, he did not have the momentum and momentum just now.
In the 88th minute, Manchester City once again ushered in a good opportunity, a free kick opportunity in front, with the cooperation of his teammates, Li Feng grinded into the hinterland of Bayern Munich little by little this time.
When Tymoschchuk reacted, Li Feng had already appeared outside the Bayern Munich penalty area, and a subsequent foul directly gave Manchester City a direct chance to change the game, a direct free kick from outside the arc of the penalty area.
It is impossible for Bayern Munich not to know about Li Feng's free kick, and it can even be said that Li Feng's free kick has really entered the master level from Bayern Munich. (To be continued.) )
