Chapter 265: The Battle for the Golden Boot in the League

Looking at the performance of the players on the field of Bayern Munich, Heynckes on the sidelines was obviously relieved, although he shouted before the game to beat Bayern Munich to end the team's losing streak, but only he knew in his own heart how it actually was, but after the German Schalke 04 dropped the chain, the old coach was a little happy in his heart.

And from the performance after the opening, it seems that winning the championship in advance has indeed had a huge impact on Bayern Munich, and it has been thirty minutes since the opening, in these thirty minutes, Bayern Munich players have been a little absent-minded, and the offense has become a little scattered, although there are no fatal mistakes in defense, but small mistakes are also continuous, and the fight is not active.

In this game, Bayern Munich still sent the strongest lineup according to the pre-match arrangement, Bad Stuber was on the left, the front two wings were Ribery and Robben, the middle Li Feng and Schweinsteiger partnered, Gomez returned to the starting line-up on the front, and Muller sat on the bench.

For Bayer Leverkusen, the goalkeeper goes without saying, Adler, defender Castro replaces the suspended Schwab, Reinerts replaces the injured Hyypia, and the midfielders are Kroos, Vidal, and Russ. The combination of Bender and Barnetta, with Kiessling and Derdyyok up front, is also the main lineup for Bayer Leverkusen.

In the first 30 minutes of the game, Bayer Leverkusen had a clear advantage, under the organization of Kroos, Bayer Leverkusen frequently attacked the hinterland of Bayern Munich to create danger, and successively created a few good shots, on the contrary, Bayern Munich was mediocre and had few shots.

Bayern Munich's best performance in the first 30 minutes was striker Gomez and goalkeeper Bout, Gomez has been sitting on the bench since recovering from injury, and now it is rare to return to the starting line-up and naturally want to perform well, Bout is at a critical juncture of contract renewal, for the veteran who is about to turn 36. This will be the German goalkeeper's last contract.

In the 35th minute, Bad Stuber pulled to Barnetta, gifted Bayer Leverkusen a free-kick and added a yellow card for himself, and then Barnetta took a free-kick and Derdiyok headed in from 11 yards out, which was lifted away by Bute.

Four minutes later. Bayer Leverkusen produced one of the most dangerous attacks of the first half, Kroos moved across the middle and picked out Barnetta's pass to Li Feng, who dribbled past Bad Stuber into the box, Bayern Munich's defence was clearly porous, and Van Bitten and Demichelis were deflected away by Kiessling and Derdiyok.

Barnetta was almost in front of the goal and couldn't defend, Barnes finished a powerful shot about ten meters in front of the goal, although the ball went past Bute, but unfortunately Bayer Leverkusen was a little less lucky. The ball eventually hit the post and bounced off the bottom line, and Bayern Munich narrowly escaped.

Van Gaal was obviously not satisfied with his protégé's performance, but he also knew that it was inevitable, and the news of winning the title before the game would definitely have a huge impact on the team and a huge emotional swing for the players, but it was one thing to be clear. It's another thing to be angry and dissatisfied.

In the end, the first half of the two sides ended in a 0-0 draw, and Van Gaal, who returned to the dressing room, did not give face to his group of disciples who had just won the championship: "You guys acted like shit in the first half. It stinks, you think that if you win the league, you can let your guard down and you don't have to play well? Don't forget, we still have the Champions Cup, we have the German Cup final, now. I'll just say that if you still play like this in the second half, then you won't have to play for the rest of the games. ”

In the face of Van Gaal, who was a little furious, the starting eleven didn't even dare to breathe, they knew their own business. The performance in the first half was indeed unsatisfactory, so they did not have the slightest rebuttal, they could only bear it silently, and the most important thing was to gather their minds first and deal with the second half of the game.

With this in mind, players from both sides took the field again, and the second half of the game restarted, with Bayern Munich having the right to kick off directly into Leverkusen's half, announcing the revival of Bayern Munich's offensive.

After being silent for the whole first half, Li Feng took the lead, he forced Vidal, and sent an overhead pick pass in the face of Rathbender, the ball flew directly into the Leverkusen penalty area, Gomez rushed into the Leverkusen penalty area, and pressed Reinerts to blast a header, which was blocked by Adler, and then the corner kick was directly picked up by Adler.

Seeing Bayern Munich's strong attack, Heynckes frowned slightly on the sidelines, and his heart was full of an ominous premonition, in fact, Heynckes knew that the first half was a great opportunity for them to take the lead, but unfortunately Bayer Leverkusen was a little unlucky, although the attack was strong, but it was a kick off the goal.

Soon, Heynckes' bad premonition became a reality, and in the fiftieth minute, Li Feng broke through in the middle again, but was caught by Vidal and Rathbend, Li Feng rushed forward and passed back with his heel in desperation, and Schweinsteiger immediately sent a through pass after getting the ball.

Ribery took a step sideways, crossed Castro's inside, and successfully caught up with the ball while bursting into the Leverkusen penalty area, but before Ribery had any further action, Castro reached out in a hurry to pull Ribery directly, and the referee Kirsche whistled and pointed to the penalty spot.

Although the whole Bayern Munich knows that Li Feng does not take penalty kicks, Ribery still wants to give this opportunity to Li Feng, after all, Li Feng is competing with others for the league Golden Boot, and Kuranyi has basically withdrawn from the league Golden Boot competition because of the red card in the last game, because Kuranyi was chased for two games after the game, which means that Kuranyi will be suspended for a total of three rounds.

However, although Kuranyi withdrew from the competition for the league's Golden Boot, another striker in the Bundesliga caught up, that is, Wolfsburg's leading striker Edin. Dzeko, with his four-goal performance in the last two rounds, Dzeko also raised his goal tally to 18, the same as Kuranyi, two goals behind Li Feng.

In addition to Dzeko, there are two other strikers in the Bundesliga who threaten Li Feng's Golden Boot position: striker Kiessling in the opponent's line-up for this game, who is currently close behind with 17 goals, and Dortmund striker Barrios, who has scored 15 goals.

For Ribery's kindness, Li Feng still suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and after hugging the French Scar Man, he still refused the opportunity to take the penalty, I have to say that Li Feng's quality is really rare in the eyes of outsiders, in fact, Li Feng knows his own business, if he takes the penalty, it is estimated that there is a chance of more than 90% of the penalty being lost.

In the end, the penalty was taken by Arjen Robben, and the Dutch Peter Pan did not disappoint, and after the referee's whistle, Robben saved it in one fell swoop to help Bayern Munich break the deadlock. (To be continued......)
