Chapter 481: There Seems to Be a Drama?
Magath said that the reason why the "RR combination" did not play well was because the two people did not have a tacit understanding enough, and the time they worked together was relatively short.
Many people agree with him.
Objectively speaking, the time that Rongguang and Ma Kai have been together is indeed too short.
No one can expect two players who have only played together for more than ten days to suddenly get acquiesced and cooperate with all kinds of gods.
Although they were not happy with the performance of this attacking pair against Stuttgart, they were also expected to be tolerant and timeless.
This attacking duo can be said to have made everyone have high expectations, so that they are willing to treat them so leniently.
Rongguang still trains hard every day, and Ma Kai's training is a little harder than usual.
Time flies by in everyone's efforts.
The league is finally coming.
In the first round of the league, on August 6, Bayern Munich will host Borussia Mönchengladbach.
This match is also the opening match of the Bundesliga season.
Since the game against Stuttgart, all the way up to now, Bayern Munich has not scheduled any matches.
They were immersed in training at 51 Sebena Street.
But everyone didn't relax for a moment to stare at them.
Everyone is waiting.
After a week, what kind of thing will the "RR group" come up with this time?
It was a disappointment to make its first official appearance.
And this time?
Although a week is actually not a long time, plus the previous ten days, Rongguang and Ma Kai have been together for almost a month.
Even if you can't do it very tacitly, it's better than when you did it against Stuttgart, right?
That's what many people think in their hearts.

Against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Magath still put Rongguang and Mackay in the starting line-up at the same time.
This did not come as a surprise.
“…… Ahead of the game, Magath announced the starting line-up for Bayern Munich. Rong and Mackay were both in the starting line-up, and the high-profile attacking duo continued to start. In the Carabao Cup against Stuttgart, the two of them did not show what everyone was expecting. So what kind of performance will they show this time? Is it an improvement from before? It's really exciting......
Marcel Leif said as he sat in the commentary booth at the scene.
The Allianz Arena was once again packed, and many of these people were coming for the "RR Combination".
In the match against Stuttgart, the "RR Combo" did not perform well.
But now that it's been a week, it's time for them to show something, right?
Borussia Mönchengladbach isn't a strong team either – it was, and it doesn't anymore.
They came close to relegation last season, finishing fourth from bottom with just one point, narrowly escaping relegation.
In the face of such an opponent, you can really expect the performance of the "RR Combination".
After the start of the match, the connection between Rong Guang and Ma Kai was indeed more than before.
At the edge of the penalty area, the two men had more cooperation.
This also makes everyone look forward to their next performance.
“…… It can be seen that Magath's coaching staff has done a lot of work in the past week...... Rong and Mackay have worked together a lot more than they did in the last Carabao Cup......"
Marcel Leif nodded.
"Okay, Rongguang passed the football to Ma Kai, and the two of them cooperated!"
If you only listen to this commentary, you will definitely think that what a beautiful match between Glory and Ma Kai is.
But in reality it was just an ordinary pass......
The Chinese commentator Duan Haoran was so excited that he was naturally a little surprised.
Chinese fans didn't complain about him, because they were in the same mood as Duan Haoran, and they both wanted to see Rongguang and Ma Kai together.
Ma Kai also has a lot of fans among Chinese fans.
Magath stood on the sidelines, his expression much more relaxed than in the previous game against Stuttgart.
The week's hard work was finally in vain, and the practice between the two of them increased.
And this also shows that his previous inference is correct, that is, the two people do not cooperate well because they have little time to cooperate, and they are not tacit enough.
Now that there is more time to cooperate, the tacit understanding will naturally increase.
Magath believes that if this continues, it won't be long before Glory and Mackay succeed in realizing their tactical ideas.
As long as this offensive combination can take shape in September, it will be fine. At that time, the Champions League group stage was just starting.
As for the league, he didn't care too much.
With Bayern Munich's quality, it shouldn't be difficult to win the league without relying on this attacking pairing.
Magath has such confidence in his team.
The most direct significance of Rongguang's joining Bayern Munich at present is not to strengthen Bayern's strength, but to greatly weaken the strength of its main rival Werder Bremen.
Werder Bremen, without its glory, poses no threat to Bayern Munich.
And Werder Bremen is no longer a threat, so who else in this league can threaten Bayern Munich?
In fact, Bayern Munich's performance last season was good, and if Werder Bremen, who despises Glory, is too strong, I'm afraid Magath will really lead the team to the league title......

Rongguang cooperated with Ma Kai more in the game according to the coach's arrangement.
Especially at the edge of the box.
Still, he felt the same awkwardness as he did in the last Carabao Cup game – with Mackay always in his vicinity.
It looks like he's picking up on the manager's request, but it's just a little too close......
Despite this, Rongguang also passed the football to Mackay.
But because the two people are too close, the ball is not considered to be passed to the empty place.
After Mackay received the ball, Borussia Mönchengladbach's defenders were still standing in front of them.
After passing the ball, Rongguang chose to run on his own. This is also the request of the manager, so that he can create chances, and I hope that Mackay can pass the football over, so that this attack can be regarded as alive.
So he stepped forward decisively.
Sure enough, as soon as Glory ran like this, the defenders of Mönchengladbach did not dare to move, and some people followed Glory to retreat.
At this moment, the defensive pressure in front of Ma Kai suddenly lightened.
However, Mackay did not pass the ball through.
When Rongguang looked back at Ma Kai, what he saw was Ma Kai's decisive self-breakthrough move!
Because Glory helped attract most of the defensive forces, Ma Kai's breakthrough was a success!
He managed to burst into the box and then shot with his feet.
Football eventually slides out of the door.
But this is already the most threatening attack played by the "RR Combination"!
Although it missed, the commentators were still applauding the attack - mainly for Mackay, of course.
"Mackay's shot! What a pity! However, this attack gave us a glimpse of the legendary 'RR Combo'! ”
"That's right, two people have to have such a cooperation. Only in this way can Bayern Munich's attack be a threat! ”
"Rong's forward step drew attention for Mackay, which gave him a chance to get out of the defence...... Keep playing like this, and I'm sure the goals will come sooner or later! ”
※※※
Glory wasn't surprised that Mackay would come on his own.
Because that's what was mentioned in the training. When the two of them attack, either of them can choose to come by themselves or pass to their teammates, and there are no strict rules.
Magath really has high hopes for this attacking combination. Full autonomy is given to two people.
Mackay didn't score the goal, and Glory only regretted it.
Now she is no longer the hairy boy who didn't know anything in Brazil. Now that he is playing more and more games, he has a deeper understanding of football than before.
At this time, it is not possible to ask Mackay to pass the football to himself. After all, your own forward thrust can be a feint. And the defenders have always followed him, so his chances are not particularly good, and it is normal for Ma Kai not to pass the ball to him.
And isn't it a matter of courtesy in football games?
I've created such a good opportunity for you, and you'll pass me the ball next time, right?
What does Glory think.
Until now, Glory has not regarded Ma Kai as a competitor.
Since you're not a competitor, you can coexist amicably.
※※※
In Glory's thoughts, after Mackay has a breakthrough, and then, he passes the football to Mackay, and the defenders of Borussia Mönchengladbach will definitely not be able to make up their minds.
It won't be like just now, when two defenders are resolutely inserted as soon as they are inserted.
Now Borussia Mönchengladbach's defenders will think about it and hesitate. At this time, as long as Ma Kai can pass the football to himself in time, he will be able to form a good shooting opportunity!
So when the two of them faced a dense defense at the front of the penalty area again, Rongguang did not hesitate to pass the football to Ma Kai this time!
Then he quickly stepped forward!
As he had expected, after Mackay's previous successful breakthrough shot, the defenders of Borussia Mönchengladbach did not pounce immediately, but hesitated!
This is the time!
Rongguang looked back at Mackay, ready to confirm how Mackay's pass came from, whether it was a boccia, a half-high ball, or an overhead ball?
Then according to different passes, he also has to make different countermeasures, after all, the skills required to ground the ball and the top ball are completely different.
But what did he see?
It was Mackay who didn't hesitate to shoot with his feet!
Bang!
The ball hit the Borussia Mönchengladbach defender directly and bounced off in reverse......
I didn't come to my side at all!

Tomorrow night's semi-final between Brazil and Germany, I'm not optimistic about Brazil at all, Neymar is on and Thiago Silva is suspended. This Brazil team didn't play well, but they haven't faced any strong teams before, so they can stumble and reach the last four, but I think that's the end of their journey. This year's Brazil team really didn't have a championship at all.
So I predict that Germany will beat Brazil by two goals!
