Maccabi Haifa lineup

Obviously, Maccabi Haifa coach Levay avoided being beaten in the midfield, and gathered heavy troops in the midfield, with the whistle of the Slovenian referee, Bayern's first Champions League game officially began, and Li Feng's first Champions League game was about to be staged.

With the performance of the last few games, Li Feng's teammates have begun to believe in Li Feng, if they passed the football to Li Feng because of Van Gaal's tactics, then after the previous rounds of the league, they began to talk about football to Li Feng willingly.

Ribery, who got the start for the first time this season, seemed a little excited, and just opened with Li Feng to raise his hand to ask for the ball, for Ribery's request, Li Feng naturally would not refuse, so after the formation of the two sides opened, Li Feng directly sent the ball to Ribery's feet.

However, it is clear that Levay has made sufficient preparations for the season, and at the moment when Ribery just got the ball, Maccabi Haifa's fullback Maslera and defender Cajar directly surrounded Ribery, seeing that the other party was encircling him, Ribery did not fight hard, and he didn't dare to mess around when he had just recovered from injury, so he directly passed the football back to Li Feng.

The left side is not good, then the right, Li Feng unloaded Ribery's return pass and transferred the ball to the right side without stopping, Peter Pan Robben has already been waiting for him, although Messhumal and Berkeley are fast, but they are not as fast as Peter Pan, Robben uses speed to force the encirclement.

Soon Robben burst into the vicinity of the baseline with the ball, Meschumar and Berkeley were in hot pursuit, in the face of such a situation, it was obviously impossible to cut inside, so Robben immediately got up to pass, Olic and Muller were already in position in the penalty area, and finally Olic grabbed the ground and carried Teixeira to play a clumsy cushion shot, but unfortunately, the football did not fly into the goal, but flew out of the bottom line by grazing the crossbar.

Didn't score, but Bayern showed their strength as a top European giant, in the next time, Bayern officially took over the rhythm of the game, under the combing organization of Li Feng and Schweinsteiger, Bayern launched a furious attack, Maccabi Haifa is like a boat in the sea at the moment, there is a possibility of capsizing at any time~~ It should be said that there is a possibility of being broken at any time.

It's a pity that Bayern took it for granted, and no one thought that in the face of the bombardment of Bayern, Maccabi Haifa carried through the first half, and at the end of the first half, the score was still 0:0.

Faced with this situation, Van Gaal naturally couldn't accept it, soon after the start of the second half, Van Gaal replaced Ribery, who was a little weak, obviously for the current Ribery, he couldn't play a full 90 minutes, the first half was very cool, but the physical consumption was also very strict.

Gomez up, Ribery down, Bayern played three strikers, Robben became a free man in the midfield, and Gomez's play also brought Van Gaal's tactical requirements, Van Gaal asked Li Feng and Schweinsteiger to properly control the ball in the midfield and lead Maccabi Haifa out.

So after the game started anew, Li Feng and Schweinsteiger began to control the football in the midfield, launching a wave of attacks from time to time, and finally broke through Maccabi Haifa in the 60th minute, and the goal was not scored by Bayern's midfielder, but by the header from central defender Van Bitten.

It has to be said that the tall and strong Van Bitten's header is of a very high standard, he can score a few corners every season, and in his 300 professional games, Van Bitten has scored almost 40 goals, which is definitely not a low goal rate.

In the 60th minute, Robben received a direct pass from Li Feng and went straight to the penalty area, Gomez's shot was saved from the bottom line, Bayern corner kick, Bayern's two central defenders Bard and Van Bitten began to crowd the Maccabi Haifa penalty area, although Bard is also very tall, but his header is really incomparable with Van Bitten, so Robben, who is responsible for kicking the corner, directly found Van Bitten, and the latter did not disappoint him, forcing the Maccabi Haifa defender to throw out a strong header to break the deadlock for Bayern.

After a one-goal lead, Bayern played more calmly, after all, now the lead is Bayern, if Maccabi Haifa does not want to lose, it is inevitable to attack, and the outcome is exactly like this, after falling behind, Maccabi Haifa cannot be indifferent, although in the group of death, but it is obviously impossible to give up.

In the last few tens of minutes, Maccabi Haifa and Bayern started to attack, Maccabi Haifa got several good opportunities, but Bayern goalkeeper Bout was excellent, high and low block blocked all Maccabi Haifa's shots out of the goal,

And Bayern's luck is not very good, the second goal came at the last moment of the game, for the goal was Bayern Munich's Muller, for this, Li Feng couldn't help but wonder if this guy has a last-minute goal halo, how to feel that he always scores at the last moment of the game, in the eighty-second minute, Gomez pulled out of the penalty area to receive a pass after Schweinsteiger forced a breakthrough, and then passed the ball to Muller on the left, who shot directly into the goal.

But Bayern's goal is not over, in the 88th minute, Bayern made a comeback, Li Feng burst into the side of Maccabi Haifa after the half, Pranjic took advantage of the situation, crossed near the bottom line, Mullen outflanked in front of the goal, following the last round of the league, scored twice in two consecutive games, and both were in the last moments of the game, both goals were scored within ten minutes.

In the end, with Van Bitten's header and Muller's brace, Bayern Munich won the first victory of the Champions League as he wished, making a good start for the next Champions League journey, and when Bayern was even happier Juventus drew 1:1 with Bordeaux at home, and Bayern, who won all three points, occupied the first place in the group.

Li Feng's first Champions League game was very uneventful, with no goals and no assists, but his role in the Bayern squad became more and more important.
