Chapter 222: Attack! Super Mario!!
Chapter 222: Attack! Super Mario!!
Everyone said that Gotze would be Germany's Messi, but Gotze didn't want to be Messi, he wanted to be Germany's Gotze.
When Gotze was still warming up, he felt like he was in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2014, that crazy stadium, that mecca in the hearts of Brazilians, the Maracanã stadium.
He was warm on the sidelines like he is now, and he had a hunch that he was going to be the savior of the team, and he was Gotze and he could do that!
It's the same now!!
If one flash of brilliance is enough for the national team, the World Cup title is enough to make Gotze a celebrity in the history of German football, but at the club, Gotze has not achieved much, and he has not yet won the Champions League.
In the 2013 Champions League final, Dortmund faced Bayern Munich, and although Gotze had already confirmed his joining Bayern Munich, he was still a member of Dortmund at that time.
It's just that Gotze, who was plagued by injuries at the time, didn't have a chance to play in the Champions League final, and he was in the stands, watching his team lose to his future club.
Götze joined a division of kings, and before he joined, Bayern Munich won the treble and became the king of the whole of Europe, but the team's previous honors cannot be counted on his head.
Now there is such an opportunity in front of him, and this time, he definitely does not want to miss it!
Gotze turned his head to look at the room.
Bayern Munich is still 1-2 behind Manchester United!!
Soon, Götze was warming up and he was standing on the sidelines, Guardiola babbling in his ear about something.
"German genius Gotze!! He's coming!! On the commentary seat, Duan Xuan's voice was already a little hoarse!
Germany's genius Gotze, known as Germany's Messi when he debuted, may be the highlight of his life in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, in the extra time stage, scored a killer goal in 113 minutes, helping Germany defeat Argentina led by real Messi 1-0, allowing Germany to win the fourth World Cup, and also creating the history of the Champions League team winning the first championship in South America. When the German coach Loew was about to replace Gotze, he said to him, "Now you have a chance to prove that you are better than Messi!" Gotze really lived up to expectations!"
"This time, Pep Guardiola also brought on Gotze, can he do what he did at the World Cup?!"
The German commentator was also chanting: "Gotze is coming!! This is our German Messi!! No!! In the World Cup, Gotze has already beaten Messi!! This time, he will also defeat his opponent!! He has such strength!! ”
Bayern fans chanted, as the hero of the World Cup, Gotze still has a high status in the hearts of German fans.
"Gotze is going to play!!"
"Let's get one, Mario!!"
"Super Mario!! You're going to score goals!! ”
As if the fans were praying to the gods, this was the last substitution for Bayern Munich, and for Bayern fans, this was the last straw!
But will he be able to save Bayern Munich's fortunes?
Guardiola explained in Gotze's ear, and he looked at Gotze, who was eager to try, and even a little impatient, and finally said the last sentence.
"Come on! Mario!! Let's go up!! Now you have a chance to prove it!! You're Mario Gotze!! You're better than all the players!! ”
Gotze glanced at Pep Guardiola.
The Spaniard, whom he didn't like very much, finally said something that he liked.
That's right, I'm Mariogertze!! Not what a German Messi!!
I'm a good player!
I brought the World Cup to my country!! Does Messi have it!!
Lao Tzu is not the German Messi!! I'm Mario Gotze!!
The diminutive Götze puffed out his chest and his face was full of rebelliousness. His fighting intent is burning now, and he can't wait to play now and turn the world upside down!!
But at this time, it was Manchester United who were attacking with the ball.
Mata cut in on the side and made a one-two with Li Qingshan, Mata entered the penalty area, and Li Qingshan's ball was delivered immediately!
Mata didn't have time to adjust to his left foot and stabbed directly with his right foot!
"Mata"
There was an exclamation in the stands, but Neuer still played well, fell directly to the ground, took the ball into his arms, and then quickly turned around, ready to counterattack quickly!!
However, Manchester United retreated quickly, and Neuer saw that there was no chance of a fast attack, so he immediately stabilized and waited until all the players were out of the box before throwing the player to Lahm.
Rahm took the ball and spun around and then passed forward to Robben.
As soon as Robben got the ball, substitute Ashley Young gave him a dismissal.
I saw Ashley Young rushing up directly, squeezing his body and carrying Robben to the ground.
Referee Eriksen quickly remembered the whistle and then pointed to the sidelines, signaling that Bayern Munich could complete the substitution.
Gotze on!
Vidal under !!
"Pep Guardiola replaced Vidal with attacking midfielder Gotze, which is a signal to attack!! It's been almost eighty minutes now, and it's time to give it a go!! The German commentator's voice was hoarse.
After this game, I don't know how many people will lose their voices.
Compared to Manchester United, Bayern Munich's substitutions were much more rapid.
Vidal went straight out of the touchline from the other side, and then Gotze immediately ran into the field and pointed at several Bayern Munich players on the field.
Soon, Bayern's formation changed again.
The two Spaniards, Xavi Alonso and Javi Martinez, formed a back two, with Gotze playing in the midfield position, with Ribery and Robben on the left and right flanked respectively, and Lewandowski up front.
Bayern Munich's formation was adjusted back to 4231.
This is the second time that Bayern Munich have changed their formation in this game, first from 4231 to 433 and then from 433 to 4231.
Being able to adjust the formation frequently without affecting the team's combat effectiveness is one of the hallmarks of a strong team.
It's just that the biggest difference between Bayern Munich's 4231 and their starting 4231 is that in the No. 10 position, Gotze banned Thomas Muller.
Thomas Muller is a player with strong forward attributes, and putting him in the number ten position is more about using his forward and running positions, looking for opportunities to shoot in the box, and expecting Thomas Muller to organize the team's attack like a striker, which is obviously difficult for a strong man.
Gotze, on the other hand, is a player who is good enough to play the role of a midfielder, and when necessary, he is still very capable of shooting forward!!
Once Götze came on the pitch, the game was quickly resumed.
Ashley Young's foul was committed in Bayern Munich's half, so the foul was still a good deal for Manchester United.
Rahm passed the ball out and to Gotze.
Götze had his first touch of the ball soon after coming on the pitch.
However, he immediately passed the ball back to Xavi Alonso, and then he ran back to meet it.
Xavi Alonso passes through and hands the ball back to Mario Gotze.
Gotze has just come on the field, and his physical fitness is definitely no problem, let him get the ball more, and it can also allow several veterans who have consumed a little too much physical energy during this time to take a proper slowdown.
In charge of defending Gotze is his teammate Kramer on the national team.
But this time, Kramer was tricked by Gotze.
I saw Gotze first slash over the ball with his left foot, made a feint and then turned in the direction of the incoming ball, then picked up the ball slightly with his right toe, and then kicked the ground with his left leg, and he passed Kramer at once!!
"Beautiful turnaround !!" Even Duan Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.
Götze's footwork is indeed excellent, and German football rarely produces such a talented player, so it is no wonder that even Beckenbauer praised Götze as "God's gift to Germany"!
After completing the turn, Gotze opted to continue dribbling the ball and smashed the ball with his left foot past Carrick.
Compared to Gotze, the old Carrick's movement rate is too slow!!
"Another !! It's time to get out!! The German narrator was excited.
Indeed, now Gotze has attracted the defense, Herrera rushed over, plus Rojo behind him, as well as Carrick and Kramer, who had just been passed by Gotze, Gotze's series of performances restrained Manchester United's four defensive forces!!
However, Götze didn't seem to mean to pass the ball, and after getting past Carrick, he was about to shoot, and then continued to dunk with his right foot, ready to dunk Herrera again.
This time, however, Herrera's position was not lost, and Gotze dipped the ball, but the man was blocked behind him, and the football was controlled by Rojo.
Gotze immediately raised his hand to protest Herrera's blocking foul, but the referee crossed his hands to indicate that there was no problem!!
Rojo launched a long counterattack with a big foot, and Gotze had no choice but to pat the turf and turn back to participate in the defense.
"Götze, who has just come on the stage, delivered a series of gorgeous performances!! Let's take a look at his ability to get rid of the feet of the two in a row!! He deserves a place in the Bayern squad!! The German narrator shouted.
The fans were also applauding Götze's performance, and Bayern Munich now need such a breakthrough, even if the choice after Götze's breakthrough just now does not seem reasonable.
United's counter-attack didn't work out and the players quickly retreated to their own half of the defence.
Soon, Gotze got the ball again!!
He is now the axis of Bayern's attack and football will always get to his feet.
Gotze took the ball and spun around, and this time he easily got past Carrick, forcing the veteran Carrick to foul and receive a yellow card.
'Gotze was very active when he came on and his nimble footwork caused all the problems for the United defence!! We must be vigilant about this point!! Duan Xuan also said loudly.
This time Bayern Munich's free kick was also taken by Götze, it was a free kick from a long position, and everyone thought that Götze would pass to the penalty area, so that Bayern Munich's other players would compete for headers!
But Götze didn't choose to do so, he directly hit them vigorously, and the ball went out of the bottom line from the post at the other end.
So far, Gotze has been outstanding.
But then, Gotze's successive choices to go it alone quickly made Pep Guardiola on the sidelines and Bayern Munich players on the field a little dissatisfied.
In the 82nd minute, Gotze chose to dribble the ball himself again, he got past Herrera, and then hit the ball over the crossbar from long range.
Lewandowski and Arjen Robben both threw their hands towards Gotze in the United penalty area, but Gotze ignored it and turned away.
Now that the game time has come to more than 80 minutes, Manchester United is not investing much in attack now, Ashley Young followed Robben inch by inch, he completely gave up his left winger's attack, and even when there was a chance to counterattack, Ashley Young did not go up.
The manager has already explained to him that he needs to keep an eye on Robben!!
Most of United's players were actively involved in defending, giving the ball to Bayern Munich.
They just need to hold on for another ten minutes without conceding a goal to win the Champions League!!
In the 84th minute, Bayern Munich's attack came back!!
Gotze received the ball closer to the United goal this time!!
Sure enough, this time he still chose to excel himself.
The prepared Manchester United players worked together to strangle Gotze's ball, and Bayern Munich's attack was in vain!
Pep Guardiola was now a little skeptical that he had made the right appearance for Gotze, and he looked furious on the sidelines, shouting at the sidelines: "Mario!!" Passing !!"
Captain Rahm also came over to communicate with Gotze: "Mario, you have to trust your teammates!! You can't finish everything yesterday!! ”
Gotze nodded, indicating that he understood.
But then, Gotze went his own way again.
With Gotze firing anti-aircraft guns again, Bayern Munich's attack then began to go more to both sides, deliberately bypassing Götze.
But Gotze didn't care, he still ran very the field.
Robben's attempt to cut inside was unsuccessful, and Ashley Young followed very closely!
Ribery had a chance to cross from the flank, but Lewandowski's header was completely denied by his former team-mate Hummels.
As the game time went on, Bayern Munich's players began to get a little anxious.
The fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines.
Stoppage time of this game.... Three minutes!!
Wayne Rooney was already on the sidelines, and sure enough, Carlo Ancelotti would still have brought him on the pitch.
However, at this time, Bayern Munich was still attacking with the ball.
Arjen Robben didn't shake off Ashley Young with two feints in a row, and it looked like the England winger was working well at full-back.
It was at this time. Robben heard Gotze's voice: "Arjan, here!!" ”
Robben, who had been forced into the corner, had no other choice at this time, he passed the ball and Gotze got it on the wing.
As a result, his next move surprised everyone.
I saw Gotze stop the ball slightly to his left side, and then his left foot was up......
"No...."Robben wanted to shout, this left foot is not Gotze's main foot, and the angle is not good now, now the shot is undoubtedly to return the ball to Manchester United.
Pep Guardiola also reached out...
But in this case, Gotze hit a ball of fallen leaves with a strange and erratic route.
The soccer ball went into the goal before everyone could react!!
Two to two!!
In the midst of the stunned eyes, Götze was the only one who celebrated so wildly!
