Chapter 502: Picking the Wrong Competitor
Under Schweinsteiger's wide-eyed gaze, Glory did not stop his passing to the past, but shot directly at the goal without stopping!
Rongguang's choice didn't even make the two Hannover 96 players who came up to defend him not expect that Rongguang was going to stop the ball, and stopping the ball would delay some time, which was just enough time for them to post it.
They calculate very precisely and don't waste a second.
But they didn't calculate that Rongguang didn't stop the ball, but went straight to the feet!
"Sakae-long shot!!"
At Marcel Leif's roar, the football rolled in front of Glory, and at the same time, Glory's right foot was also picked up, and it was kicked hard and accurately!
Bang!
The soccer ball changed direction and flew towards the goal!
Then flew between the two Hannover 96 players who pounced, and the two saw the football flying over, and subconsciously deviated to the side, looking as if the football had blasted the two of them away!
Enke only saw the ball fly by when the two teammates dodged away, and he took to the air and pounced on the ball.
But this time, he still can't reach it!
He was still a little far away from the football, and finally let the football pass him and hit the goal directly behind him!
※※※
“TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!” Marcel Leif roared at the sky.
The Allianz Arena is boiling again.
"Glory shoots directly from a distance – beautiful! Huh! Pretty!! Glory does not stop the ball and shoots directly from a distance! Bayern Munich lead Hannover by two goals at their home stadium by 96! Glory scored twice! It was just a few more than the first goal he scored...... Seven minutes! ”
Duan Haoran shouted excitedly.
Now he completely relaxed, and no longer worried about glory.
No matter how much Bayern Munich players try to help Mackay, there is no way to threaten the status of glory. Even if Mackay scores in the next game, glory will still be at the heart of Magath's trust.
Like him, the Chinese fans in front of the TV also felt relieved in addition to the excitement.
Ma Kai would never be a threat to such glory!
※※※
After Glory scored, he ran to the bench and hugged Lucas, who was waiting. Thank you Lucas for accompanying him these days.
At the same time, he naturally hopes that everyone will pay more attention to his good friends.
You can't always let Lucas sit on the cold bench, right?
The rest of their teammates rushed up to them, hugged them and celebrated the goal together.
Lucas said to Glory in the noisy crowd, "You kid...... Poor Roy Mackay! ”
But it was too noisy, everyone was screaming and roaring, and Glory didn't hear what Lucas said clearly, only saw Lucas's mouth moving, and his voice was intermittent.
"What did you say?" He asked aloud.
Lucas couldn't help but roll his eyes, do you want to shout out this kind of thing in front of so many of my teammates?
"Nothing!!" He replied loudly.
※※※
Roy Mackay still didn't come up to celebrate, and he turned his head to look at the glory that had been overwhelmed by his teammates.
Two goals were scored in ten minutes, and both of them were long-range shots at the level of the world's world.
How can you compete with such an opponent?
Or rather...... In fact, I was wrong from the beginning?
He shouldn't want to compete with Glory for the core.
Some people are born to be core......
He was a little discouraged.
I worked so hard and with the help of my teammates, but I haven't scored yet.
And what about glory? People definitely don't get as many chances in this game as they do. It took two long-range shots to score two goals.
That's the gap.
That's the gap between the core and the core.
※※※
When Neulule saw this conceded goal, he couldn't help but hold his head in his hands.
Wishful thinking can't be done.
He planned to concede only one goal before the end of the first half, and now concedes two.
And more seriously...... Both of these goals were scored by Glory with little chance. This would give an impression to the players of Hannover 96. That is, the glory is unstoppable, as long as there is glory on the field, they don't want to achieve their tactical goals, so in this case, what is the point of resisting and struggling?
It's going to make it easy for players to lose confidence.
And once the players lose confidence, the game will definitely not be won.

"Look at Roy......" A reporter in the media gallery noticed Ma Kai wandering outside alone, his head bowed, his hands on his hips, and a look of loss.
"It's pathetic. But in reality, I think it's his own fault. He should be well aware that at Werder Bremen, Elton played his role and tried to defend his place at the heart of the team. But not only did he not retain his central position, he also lost his starting position. From an absolute workhorse to an absolute substitute. This is the end of the competition with Rong...... If Mackay can learn enough from Elton, then he should understand where he fits into this Bayern Munich team. Rong is the core, and the meaning of his existence is to serve this core well......"
A reporter spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said.
His views are widely recognized.
Journalists in the media gallery agreed with this view.
A team always has a core, but it can't have two cores at the same time, and there are two cores that are not prioritized. That's definitely not going to work.
Ma Kai should be very aware of Rongguang's strength, and wanting to challenge such an opponent is an act of self-defeat.
But he insisted on going his own way, which eventually led to such an end.
If he can correct his mentality, he will actively cooperate with Rongguang and play for the core of Rongguang, maybe he will be able to play well and play a very good performance, so that his position in the team will not drop much compared to before, and even more stable than before.
Just like Klose, Kaiserslautern was the main centre-forward, and after going to Werder Bremen, he quickly corrected his position.
He is involved in the opponent's defender for the glory, that is, he serves the glory.
And Glory also reciprocated, and also created a lot of opportunities for Klose.
The two complemented each other well, and in the end the team achieved good results, and Klose also won a series of honors personally.
It's a win-win.
In this respect, Roy Mackay's emotional intelligence is really inferior to Klose's.
※※※
At half-time, Magath did not criticize Roy Mackay's performance, but everyone knew that Mackay's time was running out.
The manager's patience is rapidly being drained.
Even if he hadn't been replaced at half-time, he wouldn't have been given much time in the second half.
Roy Mackay kept his head down, he didn't notice the manager's performance, but the other players did.
During the entire half-time, Magath didn't even look at Roy Mackay!
What does this mean?
I'm afraid Ma Kai has been completely beaten into the cold palace......
Even with their help, Mackay's fortunes may be difficult to reverse.
One reason is that Mackay's lack of performance is partly the reason.
But it cannot be ignored that as a competitor of Ma Kai, Rongguang's performance is too good.
※※※
At half-time, Hannover 96's head coach Neulule made a tactical change.
'Now we're two goals behind, so we have to go out and attack. Don't worry too much about this score, let's fight to the death with them! Maybe we'll be able to get a good result? The Bayern Munich players probably wouldn't have thought we would have such a crazy comeback, but this is our chance! ”
Despite the low morale of the team, Neulule tried to do everything he could to boost everyone's morale and hope to fight back in the second half – even though he himself felt that this hope was too slim.
※※※
At the beginning of the second half, Hannover 96 changed the defensive posture of the first half, but attacked boldly.
The Bayern fans in the stands were excited, they could finally see an open game.
In the previous positional battle, although Bayern Munich also had a lot of opportunities, it only scored two goals in half a day - if it wasn't for Glory's outstanding performance, maybe there wouldn't have been even a goal. So that kind of game is really not enjoyable to watch.
Everyone likes to see games with a lot of goals......
As soon as Hannover 96 attacked, there were a lot of gaps in their backline, and these openings were really for Bayern Munich to take advantage of.
So doesn't Hanover 96 know this?
Of course they know the truth, but they don't have a choice.
If you don't attack, you will lose, and if you attack, you will lose, but if you don't attack, there will be no chance at all, and there is still a glimmer of hope for attacking.
That's all they can do.
※※※
When Hannover 96 started to attack aggressively, there would be a lot of holes in their backline, and these holes were all Bayern Munich's attacking opportunities.
It stands to reason that this is also an opportunity for Mackay.
If he wants to do his best to save his fate, he should at least score a goal.
In this way, even if he still can't steal the core of glory, he can at least guarantee a place in the team's starting lineup.
He was going to tell Magath that he was still useful.
But Mackay seemed to have lost his fighting spirit, and after the start of the second half, he made two mistakes in a row, one to lose the ball and one to pass the ball out of bounds.
"Roy is done......" A reporter shook his head in the media gallery.
He was completely intimidated by Rong's performance...... He's a little distracted. There was also a reporter next to him who held the same view.
"If he keeps playing like this, he will be replaced sooner or later......"
Sure enough, after seeing Mackay's performance, Magath asked assistant coach Genk to call Misimovic to warm up.
He's going to make a substitution.
When Misimovic ran from the bench to the warm-up area, he was immediately given a shot on live television.
Tell TV viewers through this lens language that Magath has lost patience with Mackay, and the Dutch striker is about to be replaced!
It's amazing that Bayern Munich's top scorer in the previous two seasons has fallen to this point......
