The match against Stuttgart will be the first official match that Rong Guang will play in as a Bayern Munich player wearing a Bayern Munich shirt - the warm-up games two seasons ago and before this season will naturally not be counted.

In Japan, the commercial match is also not counted, and the game can be changed by six people on both sides, so it is naturally not an official match.

An official match is a match in which only three players can be substituted.

Originally, the German League Cup had no audience, and the attention was far less than that of the league.

After all, it is an official competition with the nature of a warm-up match.

And because there are many participating teams, it is divided into many games, and it also lacks the excitement and suspense of the Super Cup of other national leagues, so everyone's attention is naturally not enough.

But this time, Bayern Munich played in the League Cup, but it received a lot of media and fan attention.

At Bayern Munich's new home stadium, the Allianz Arena, which can accommodate 66,000 people, has seen more than 50,000 people.

These people all came to make their debut in the official tournament of the "RR Pair".

Because of their performance in the warm-up tournament in Japan, the media spoke highly of the "RR pair" and successfully whetted everyone's appetite.

Everyone was intrigued.

Many of them can only watch the games in Japan live on TV, not live, and in some places, they don't even have live TV, so they can't watch them if they want to.

Therefore, the League Cup has become a great opportunity for everyone to see the performance of the "RR Combination" up close.

Before the game, the media was very optimistic about this game, believing that the "RR combination" would be powerful, and Bayern Munich would definitely beat Stuttgart easily.

Bayern Munich fans and media alike have high hopes for the attacking pairing.

There are even media that compare Bayern Munich's "RR combination" with Brazil's "RR combination" back then.

believes that in terms of offensive ability alone, Glory and Mackay are not much worse than Ronaldo and Romario.

Glory is younger, and Mackay is in his prime, and if they can play consistently, Bayern Munich will benefit from at least another four years.

Four years is enough for Bayern Munich to re-emerge and dominate in Europe and usher in an era.

The thought of this makes many Bayern Munich fans excited.

Today's match against Stuttgart could be the beginning of that era!

And they will be there to witness this historic moment!

With this mentality, more than 50,000 Bayern Munich fans poured into the Allianz Arena.

Even the Chinese media paid close attention to the match.

Originally, CCTV would not broadcast a game of this nature in the Super Cup, and they broadcast the Bundesliga, not the Super Cup.

However, because Bayern Munich has glory this year, because of the high-profile "RR combination", CCTV specially temporarily purchased the broadcast rights of all the League Cup with Bayern Munich this season.

It is to cheer for glory and allow Chinese fans to see the performance of the "RR group" - the game in Japan is broadcast live by no TV station in Chinese mainland, and fans can only watch the game through the Internet. However, the live broadcast effect is very poor, and due to the limited network speed, it is almost no different from watching a slideshow.

This time, CCTV announced the live broadcast of the German League Cup, and it still won a lot of points for Chinese fans.

And so the much-anticipated League Cup semi-finals began.

Bayern Munich host Stuttgart.

Bayern Munich fans walked into the stadium with a relaxed mood, and the reporters in the media gallery did not think there was any suspense in this game. They're already starting to guess how the "RR Combo" will perform in the game – it's much more interesting than guessing the winner.

But when the game actually started, everyone soon realized that the situation was not quite what they had thought......

In this game, Stuttgart also seemed to realize that Bayern Munich was very strong, so on the road, they did not rush to attack, but set up an iron bucket formation, intending to defend to the death.

The Carabao Cup is a matter of victory, even in the semi-finals. Therefore, as long as the game is tied in 90 minutes, it will go directly to 30 minutes of extra time, and if it is tied in overtime, it will be a penalty shootout.

Stuttgart clearly wanted to drag the game into a penalty shoot-out, which would be more beneficial for them.

In a penalty shootout, no matter how good the "RR combination" is, it is only two goals, and it does not determine the final outcome of the game.

In the face of Stuttgart's stubborn defense, Bayern Munich certainly hopes to break through the opponent's goal through their strong attack, especially the "RR combination".

Bayern Munich fans were particularly excited in the stands and they were constantly cheering on the team.

Give Stuttgart a taste of the power of this European-beating attacking combination!

Rong Guang and Ma Kai are also very active, constantly interspersing running positions in the game, looking for opportunities.

But......

Thirty minutes passed and Bayern Munich failed to score.

Not only did they not score, but even the threat to the Stuttgart backline was not as great as one might think.

In people's imagination, as soon as the "RR combination" is powerful, it must be devastating, and the opponent's backline will be exhausted and eventually collapse.

But in the actual game, what people saw was that the "RR pair" was helpless in the face of Stuttgart's stubborn defense.

The two men were separated by Stuttgart, and there was no effective connection at all, and naturally they could not threaten Stuttgart's goal.

In the 31st minute, Rongguang forced a long-range shot in the bag of three people in Stuttgart, and the football flew directly to the back stands.

Five minutes later, Mackay picked up the ball on the edge of the box and he didn't even have a chance to shoot and was cut off by a Stuttgart player......

“…… It can be seen that Rong and Ma Kai are both very positive and hard-working, and there is no problem with the attitude of the game...... But what is it that makes people feel that something is wrong? Beckman, the game's commentator, frowned and voiced the doubts of many TV viewers.

They also feel that Bayern Munich's performance in this game always has an indescribable awkwardness, but they can't say why this will happen.

It just doesn't feel right.

After another six minutes, it was again Mackay who picked up the ball in front of him, intending to pass the ball to Pizarro in front of him after being driven into a dead end.

But this time, because the intention of the pass was too obvious, his pass was cut off by a Stuttgart player in the middle of the game.

Stuttgart then took advantage of the situation to launch a fast attack, and the Bayern Munich players were unprepared for the goal to be conceded here, and their return was half a beat slower.

Stuttgart's fast break was a great success, and it was Danish striker Tomasson who sent the ball into Kahn's goal!

"Unbelievable! Stuttgart took the lead! Kahn was furious after conceding the goal, and he was not happy with his team's performance! The goal was a bit of a surprise...... Bayern Munich bombarded Stuttgart's goal for so long without scoring, and Stuttgart won it with a counterattack! ”

"Mackay made a mistake in the front pass and caused the team to concede a goal! Bayern Munich is now behind the score! ”

As Karn jumped up from the ground and snarled at his teammates with fists at him, Magath stood on the sidelines, frowning.

Henk stood beside him, not speaking, but sighing inwardly—his fears seemed to be coming true.

In this 40-minute game, Rong Guang and Ma Kai obviously did not form any effective cooperation.

It's not that the two of them don't pass the ball to each other. The pass still has to be passed, but if it's just passing the ball to each other, it's not called coordination.

When you need to move forward, when you need to accelerate, two people can't cooperate, which is the most deadly.

And there is a big question, in the offensive, who is the main one?

Is it Rong, or is it Mackay?

Bayern Munich's players are not very clear, but I am afraid that the two of them may not know what to do......

If they all want to focus on themselves, this attack will not be successful.

Magath's idea should be for Glory and Mackay to be able to combine at the edge of the opposing penalty area, and both can use their best power.

But the actual effect is not good......

Both of them have to be the protagonists, so who will be the supporting roles?

Sometimes, someone always needs to be sacrificed, right?

Who sacrificed?

No one wants to sacrifice themselves, right?

They played like this, and the rest of their teammates were a little confused.

For example, the one just now, Mackay passed the football to Pizarro, but Pizarro didn't want to cooperate with Mackay at that time, and at the moment when Mackay passed the ball to him, he stepped forward. His aim was to bring Stuttgart's defenders back, to distance them from Glory and Mackay, and to give two men a chance to shoot.

But Ma Kai chose this time to pass the football over, and it stands to reason that this kind of pass, the center must retreat and pull out to receive the ball. Pizarro is going forward, so how can he catch the ball?

The opposing defender stepped forward and Pizarro received the ball before he could.

Pizarro couldn't even adjust his center of gravity, and could only watch the opponent break the ball and fight back.

Mackay looked at the Stuttgart people who were celebrating, his mouth slightly open and his eyes a little glazed.

Not far from him, Rong Guang was gesturing and shouting at him, "Pass me the ball just now!" ”

That's right, Glory's position just now is indeed better than Pizarro's, if Mackay doesn't pass the ball to Pizarro and let Pizarro pull the opponent's back line back, there will be a gap in front of Glory. At this time, Mackay's passing of football to glory will completely disrupt Stuttgart's defense.

Stuttgart's defenders could go to the defensive glory and leave Pizarro unmarked. Glory can pass football to Pizarro.

At the same time, Ma Kai can also take the opportunity to run to the vacancy.

This attack can be regarded as a live.

But unfortunately, Ma Kai didn't see the glory at all.

He ran forward as he passed the ball – he wanted to play a one-two with Pizarro hitting the wall, so that Pizarro had his back to the goal and passed the ball back, whether he could shoot or break through.

It's just that Pizarro didn't expect Mackay to choose to pass the ball to him at all, so he didn't cooperate with him at all......

Glory was yelling at Ma Kai, but Ma Kai didn't notice him at all.

His gaze was glazed for a moment, then he turned and walked away.

Glory rolled his eyes behind him.

Duan Haoran, the Chinese commentator who always had his eyes on Rong Guang, naturally saw this scene, and he thought of something in his heart, but he was not sure, and the most important thing was if his idea was right...... Isn't the "RR Combination" we are looking forward to as good as we imagined?

He hesitated, but in the end he didn't say what he had seen and what he had in mind.

Because he still has fantasies in his heart, he hopes that this is just a normal emotional venting between teammates, and it will not affect the relationship between the two people, nor will it affect the performance of the "RR combination".
