After the opening match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach, the new Bundesliga season kicked off the next day.

Werder Bremen, who are considered title rivals by Bayern Munich, have lost their glory but still performed well, beating Bielefeld 5-2 at home. Klose was excellent in this game, scoring two goals alone.

At the end of the first round, Werder Bremen are in first place with a five-goal advantage, and Bayer Leverkusen, who beat Eintracht Frankfurt 4-1, are second.

Bayern Munich, who scored three goals, are third.

The second round of the league is Bayern Munich against Bayer Leverkusen, who are second in the league, and if they can win, they will replace them or even go further.

After the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Magath gave his players a day of rest and the team resumed training a day later. The main content of this day's training is to summarize the gains and losses of the previous game, and Magath reviewed this game for everyone.

While watching the video of the match, Magath praised Rongguang's performance.

This made Ma Kai a little unhappy.

Look, that's why I have to score for something!

He said to himself in his heart.

Because only when you score a goal will you be noticed, you will be recognized and affirmed, otherwise everything you have done before is meaningless.

In the next game against Bayer Leverkusen, I have to score!

Ma Kai swore in his heart.

"Although he didn't score, Mackay was more motivated to participate in training...... It's a welcome change. On the sidelines of the training pitch, Magath said to assistant coach Genk.

"yes, he's never been like that before." Although Genk was vaguely concerned about Magath's "RR Combo" tactics, he also had to admit that Mackay's performance in training was much more positive than before.

Perhaps it is really as Magath said, because the arrival of glory has brought pressure to Ma Kai, and the two have formed a healthy competition.

If that's the case, it's a blessing to the team.

Even if two people can't coexist, having two excellent goalscorers is a blessing for Bayern Munich.

He hopes that there is really only a "healthy competition" between Ma Kai and Rongguang, and not ...... "vicious competition".

A week later, the second round of the Bundesliga began.

Second-class Bayer Leverkusen host third-place Bayern Munich.

In this game, Magath sent out the same starting lineup as in the first round of the league.

Glory and Mackay still started together, ambushing Pizarro and waiting for the opportunity to score.

For this match, the media and the audience also have great expectations, hoping to see a wonderful game and see the wonderful performance of the "RR combination".

It was a really good match.

This was evident from the goal scored four minutes into the game.

In the fourth minute, Ballack shot from outside the penalty area, and the football rolled into the bottom left corner of the goal against the turf, and Bayern Munich took a one-goal lead away from home!

Leverkusen's counter-attack then quickly levelled the score.

By the fourteen minutes had been played, two goals had already been scored by both sides.

"I watched this game! But so far, the 'RR Combo' hasn't started to take off! ”

Commentator Marcel Leif said.

He's not entirely right.

It's not that they didn't start to exert force, but they couldn't exert their strength at all.

At the beginning of the game, Rongguang still followed the tactics of the head coach and honestly sought cooperation with Ma Kai.

But compared to the last game, Ma Kai has intensified.

As long as Rongguang passes the football to Ma Kai, don't expect Ma Kai to pass the football back, even if it is far away from the goal, Ma Kai will not pass the football to Rongguang, he would rather pass it to others.

This is like a single output, football can only flow from glory to Mackay, and it is absolutely impossible to flow from Mackay to glory!

In the last game, Mackay will still pass the football to glory, and the two will look for some cooperation - not too close to the goal.

And in this game, Ma Kai was obviously unwilling to let Rongguang score again, so he simply didn't create opportunities for Rongguang.

The threat that Glory gave him made him no longer care about the manager's request.

Even if you don't have a good chance, you can't let Glory get a chance!

※※※

Magath is definitely not an idiot, he can see if the players are playing according to the tactics.

In the first game, there was a good cooperation between Rongguang and Ma Kai, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

But in this game, after watching it for more than ten minutes, he realized that the situation was not right.

In the past ten minutes, the two sides played very openly, and each side had many offensive opportunities. It's just that no one can grasp it.

But Bayern Munich could have taken it.

If it weren't for Mackay's waste, Bayern Munich would have been more than capable of extending the score.

How did Mackay go to waste?

After Rongguang passed the football to him, he chose to do it alone, and would never think about passing the football back or anything else.

As a result, he didn't score on his own!

Magath, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned, he had already spotted Mackay's problem.

But for what did Ma Kai suddenly become like this?

In the last game, although Ma Kai also did some solo work, but in general, there is still a connection between him and Rongguang.

At that time, these two people were indeed a combination.

But now......

Magath suddenly remembered the concern that assistant coach Genk had once expressed to himself.

These two people are partnered together, who is the master and who is secondary?

Now it seems that Mackay does not want to be a green leaf......

Actually, Magath has thought about this before. But he didn't say that he must ask who makes safflower and who makes green leaves.

He believes that in this attacking combination, there is no question of who is the main force and who is the support. Both have the ability to be the main force, and both have the ability to assist the other.

So in terms of status, there is no difference.

It's just that in each attack alone, there will be a similar division of labor. When this attack is dominated by Glory, Ma Kai needs to cooperate with Glory. In turn, when Ma Kai is needed to be the main attacker, Glory will give Ma Kai a hand.

It is possible that several attacks in a row will be dominated by glory. In this way, the opponent's defense will change its strategy, adjust its focus, and strengthen the defense of Glory.

And in this case, the defense against Mackay will definitely not be as tight as before. When the time came, when everyone thought that this attack was still the main attack of glory, they suddenly passed the football to Ma Kai, so that Ma Kai got a great opportunity.

The reverse is also true.

This is how Magath envisions a beautiful "RR Pair" partner.

The two people are on equal footing, which is the need to make a primary and secondary division of labor in the attack, but it is not fixed, but it is adjusted at any time.

But he didn't expect that Ma Kai didn't seem to be satisfied with his arrangement.

It was as if he wanted to fix his position.

But how is this possible?

It's not that Magath is more inclined to glory, but if it is fixed, it will be much easier for the opponent to defend.

This is a situation that Magath has always avoided.

Now it seems that Ma Kai really wants that......

Magath frowned, how to solve this problem?

※※※

The game lasted 20 minutes and the score was still 1:1. After an initial high-tempo battle, both sides slowed down and goals ceased to be scored.

At the beginning of the first half, the two sides played very openly, or rather a little chaotic, so there were a lot of opportunities for both sides.

But now, both teams have realised that the game can't be played like this, otherwise it will be too easy to be scored.

It's better to stabilize the defense first.

Bayer Leverkusen stabilized the defense, and Bayern Munich's attacking opportunities were not so easy to appear.

Mackay now only hates that he couldn't take advantage of the opportunity to score in the first ten minutes, and that was the best time to score, and Bayer Leverkusen's defence is like a big-eyed fishnet, full of holes! It's like you can score a goal in any way.

But even so, he still didn't score.

During that time, he had three shots on goal, all of which were wide of the goal.

Could it be that today's luck is still not on his side?

Ma Kai was a little anxious, he didn't score a goal himself, so he naturally paid more attention to the glory of his rivals.

Now that the football has been passed to Glory by Ballack, his eyes have shifted to Glory.

Glory retreated slightly and received the ball right in the direction of the attack.

Bayer Leverkusen's defence has been set up and it doesn't look like there's a good chance of it.

Mackay ran quickly, hoping that Glory would pass the ball to him. Although he will not pass the ball back to himself, I still hope that he will continue to pass the football to himself.

Mackay thought.

Now the chances that Glory has been given are far worse than the ones he has had before, so Mackay thinks Glory will definitely pass the ball.

And as long as he runs to the right position, the odds of him passing to himself will become very high.

Anyway, I haven't seen Glory so far, and I'm upset that I don't pass the ball to him.

So, he can still look forward to it.

However, Ma Kai must not know that after wasting three chances in a row in this game, he has been completely labeled as "incompetent" in the heart of Rongguang.

The last game was a waste of chance, and it can be said that it was bad luck.

So I got so many opportunities in two games in a row, but I couldn't score, and the glory was gone.

He's too lazy to partner with such a person, he's going to do it himself!

So when Ma Kai looked at Rongguang and waited for Rongguang to pass the football to him, he saw that Rongguang chose to break through directly!

He dribbled the ball towards Bayer Leverkusen's neat defence!

Idiot!

After Ma Kai saw this scene, he scolded anxiously in his heart.

Isn't it self-defeating to bring it up like this?

Boy, how can your mind be so unclear?

You're going to pass the ball to me, and we'll do it!

Cooperate to break through their defenses!

Their defense line is so tight now, it is very difficult for you to break through if you want to see your own strength!

Just thinking about it, he saw Rongguang facing the two defenders of the opposing party, and with a shake of his body, he actually drilled through the two of them!

Belch......

"Croquettes!!"

Marcel Leif shouted.
