Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: A Disappointing First Half
Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: A Disappointing First Half
Immediately after the match against Athletic Bilbao, the whole Atletico Madrid team flew to Munich to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Atletico Madrid, who came out of the league through a rotating lineup, successfully won three consecutive victories, and this time Atletico Madrid in Munich sent all the main starting lineups to face the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich.
Although they were mentally prepared for the difficulty of the game, the current result has made the Atletico Madrid players a little stunned.
The Allianz Arena was brightly lit and full of people.
Under the illumination of the lights, the sweat of the Atletico Madrid players slid down their faces, shining with a crystal light. One by one, the players stood on the field, panting like cows.
On the scoreboard, the score shown was 2-0, with the home team Bayern Munich leading.
And now it's game time.......... It's only been ten minutes!
'Pep Guardiola's side were in full swing at home, they controlled the game from the start, then quickly tore gaps on the flanks and scored twice against Atletico Madrid.
"It's still Bayern Munich who are in possession, and during this time, Bayern Munich's possession rate once reached a terrifying 80%! Visitors Atletico Madrid had a measly 20 per cent possession, which was not enough time for them to organise an effective attack or two. ”
In the stands, the Atletico fans who had arrived with Atletico Madrid were silent, and their team showed signs of collapse at the start of the game, making it difficult for them to accept the reality for a while.
And the fans of Bayern Munich were singing loudly.
"Which team in Munich is famous in the world? Who is the national record holder? Who has dominated the 100-year history of the Bundesliga? ”
"Bayern Munich! Southern Star, you never say never! ”
"Whether it is adversity or heaven, we will always share your fate!"
"Bayern Munich, the king of Germany!"
This is Bayern Munich's team song "Southern Star", which is constantly flying over the Allianz Arena at the moment, and their team's performance can indeed make them proud enough.
On the other side of the pitch, Bayern Munich's players were celebrating their second goal. The player who scored the goal was Muller. Muller is a very special player, he is not fast, he is not physically strong, and he is not the best with the ball, but he is undoubtedly a top player.
There are a lot of beauties in this world, some beauties can probably be seen at the first glance, they are dazzling, and some women's beauty needs to be seen at the second or third glance, you will be surprised.
And Mueller is the fourth-eye beauty.
Muller has a lot of awareness and he always plays the ball in key positions. If it weren't for the discernment of Muller's Bayern Munich coach at the time of 19, perhaps Muller's final way out would have been to be swept away by Bayern's academy and then get a job in some second and third leagues until he retired.
This goal was also a typical Mullerian goal, Ribery broke down the wing and crossed to be cleared by Miranda, but Muller suddenly appeared on the line of the ball cleared by Miranda and scored the ball in a very awkward position, which was also Bayern Munich's second goal of the game.
Bayern Munich's first goal came earlier, less than three minutes into the game, Robben opened the scoring for Bayern Munich after cutting inside on the right and firing into the far corner.
The premature conceded goal completely disrupted Atletico Madrid's plans, and then Bayern Munich's attack became more and more sharp, and in the tenth minute, Muller helped Bayern Munich to change the score again.
It's 2-0 and it's a really difficult game for Atletico Madrid.
Pep Guardiola was in the dugout, and Bayern Munich were now fully capable of the most optimistic scenario he had envisioned. His team has played against Li Qingshan, and he has observed Li Qingshan's performance in the past two seasons, which makes him attach great importance to Li Qingshan's offensive ability.
And the need to contain the opponent's attack, in Guardiola's opinion, piling up defenders in the penalty area is not a very good way, Guardiola's idea is to attack! And keep possession, when most of the possession is on your side, the opponent will have fewer attacking opportunities.
And the most important thing, of course, is to score, Bayern Munich took advantage of Atletico Madrid's unstable foothold in the opening stage of the attack, and it really received good results.
The Atletico Madrid players were wiping their sweat and feeling a little confused.
With only ten minutes into the first half, the opposition had scored two goals, and with the opposition in high spirits, it looked like they could only try not to concede more goals in this game. If you lose by a score of 0-3, even if you return to your home stadium, there is basically no drama.
Bayern Muni is worthy of being the tiger of the Bundesliga, and when Atletico Madrid relaxed a little, he was bitten twice by this tiger.
"Atletico Madrid are in trouble, they are in big trouble! They were 2-0 down in the opening 10 minutes, and their opponents were Bayern Munich! It's going to be a tough game. ”
The TV broadcast gave the camera to Simone, who stood on the sidelines and grabbed Li Qingshan to say something. Obviously, in the eyes of the broadcasters, the key to this match of Atletico Madrid is these two people.
Then Atletico Madrid began to stabilize their mentality under the instructions of the coach on the sidelines, and now for Atletico Madrid, the most important thing is not to concede any more goals, and now the game time is still very long, and Bayern Munich's two consecutive dull sticks make Atletico Madrid a little untenable, therefore, in the first half, seek to stabilize the defense, try not to let the opponent score again!
Even Li Qingshan retreated to half time to participate in the pressing of Bayern Munich's ball-handling players.
With Atletico Madrid's conscious retreat to defense, it was not easy for Bayern Munich to score for a while, and the score remained unchanged until the end of the first half.
Coming from two goals down in the first half was of course a great disappointment for the players, and the Atletico Madrid players walked back to the dressing room with their heads down as soon as the whistle blew at the end of the first half.
Bayern's players walked off the pitch with their heads held high, talking and laughing, with relaxed expressions.
"For Atletico Madrid, it's really a faint look that makes people feel like a basin of cold water is poured on their faces. The first half! ”
