Chapter 402 King Nan fell down three times in the same pit

Chapter 402 King Nan fell down three times in the same pit

Martin assisted Mahrez to lead Bayern as a guest. The mood of the home fans at the Allianz Arena became particularly bad, as if they had seen the final outcome of facing Arsenal in the past two seasons.

The mentality of the Bayern players who played at home adjusted quickly. They still used the same tactical operations in the restarted game to see if they could find Arsenal's defensive loopholes.

Lewandowski's pass did not find the advancing Thomas Muller, but it does not mean that this offensive method cannot work.

The defense of falling to the ground and putting down shovels is a one-shot deal.

It's easy to say anything if you touch the ball. If you don't touch the ball, you may make a fatal mistake.

Ribery created a good opportunity on the left, and Robben on the right was not to be left alone. He tested Arsenal's concentration on the left rib through his superb left-foot cutting skills.

But with Martin's help, Robben never found the right time.

Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena in Munich are becoming more and more confused, but thinking about falling behind 0:1 has great variables.

What if the score is evened?

With this idea in mind, Bayern fans gave out loud and loud cheers to cheer for the home team in their hearts.

The Arsenal fans who accompanied the team on the expedition were not to be outdone. Even though the number of fans present was at an absolute disadvantage, they did not hesitate to give out loud shouts and cheer for the outstanding players.

Taking a one-goal lead as a guest is obviously not safe enough.

If possible, a two-goal lead must be achieved before the end of the first half.

By then, the huge psychological advantage will help your beloved team set the tone for reaching the Champions League finals for three consecutive seasons!

As time passed by, Heynckes realized that he could not eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he signaled the players to be steady and not to be affected by the overall forward movement and ignore the offensive and defensive balance.

From the perspective of losing the ball, focusing on offense and light defense is the source of losing the ball.

If the two full-backs pay attention to the protection behind them, or take turns participating in the attack.

It is impossible for Martin to assist Mahrez to take the lead away from home.

Heynckes has very good control over the team. No player disobeys him and focuses his energy back on the balance between offense and defense.

Martin, who is highly expected by Arsenal fans, keenly captured Bayern's slowdown in offensive rhythm. His offensive strategy after switching from defense to offense became to take control of the overall situation.

Since you don't have the ball, then...it's my turn now.

The control of football changes and the home team can only passively defend.

But Robery no longer had the speed he had when he was young, and he couldn't keep up with the speed of switching from defense to offense.

This... is also the fundamental reason why Martin chose to strengthen control when Bayern relaxed.

The Premier League is all about fast pace. Facing a team that cannot counterattack quickly, you can do whatever you want.

As the time came to the end of the first half, Heynckes's frown deepened, and strong uneasiness swept through his body instantly.

The Bayern fans in the audience seemed to have a premonition, and the explosive momentum dropped significantly. They all looked nervously at the Arsenal players who continued to attack and organize.

Arsenal captain Martin has received the most attention.

As the player who directly creates the most scoring opportunities in today's world football, the media can't wait to say that Martin has become the player who has directly participated in the most scoring since the beginning of modern football!

Faced with various opinions from the outside world, Martin has never forgotten his original intention and maintained a high level of attention to the game.

While organizing the offense, he will also calm down and catch Bayern's defensive shortcomings to see if the defensive system led by Boateng and Hummels will make undue mistakes at a certain moment.

After 45 minutes of regular time, the fourth official held up the electronic sign indicating one minute of injury time.

Just when everyone thought the first half was likely to end like this, an accident occurred.

Robben's left-footed cross from the right was headed out of the penalty area by Van Dijk. With his back to the attacking direction, Martin overpowered Javi Martinez and Tolisso and headed the ball back to Xhaka.

Xhaka, who was on the right edge of the arc at the top of the penalty area, stopped the ball with the arch of his left foot, and Tolisso pounced on it after it landed.

Xhaka, who had already adjusted his steps, raised his left foot and kicked the ball towards the attacking right rib.

Hummels, who was guarding the left side of the center circle, looked at the football flying behind him, adjusted his retreating step, and took off from the right spot.

At this critical moment.

The moment he exerted force on the forefoot of his right foot, he felt his thigh muscles tear. The feeling was not particularly strong, but it affected the take-off height.

Therefore, Hummels, who had made several successful headers in this game, made a strange mistake this time...

The insufficient height of the take-off directly causes the accurate judgment of the landing point to be useless.

"Hummels...is on top!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice suddenly rose an octave higher.

Mahrez, who was chasing the football, saw Hummels instinctively slow down after taking off, but after keenly catching Hummels jumping off the top, he accelerated again immediately and chased the football that bounced off the ground.

"wowoowoowoooooo——"

The subconscious screams of Bayern fans rang out above the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Heynckes, who was already heading towards the tunnel, stopped instinctively when he heard the sudden sound and looked towards the court in horror.

What he saw a second ago was the steady Hummels retreating and adjusting, preparing to take off for a header...

Could it be?

"what the fuck?"

Heynckes' pupils shrank suddenly.

Mahrez caught up with Hummels' overturned ball in a few quick steps, and rushed towards Neuer, who was wondering whether he should abandon the goal and attack.

He stood at the penalty spot, ready to save at any time.

At this time, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!

"wuwuwuuuuu——"

The Bayern fans in the audience reacted and booed hysterically.

Obviously, they hope to interfere with Mahrez's handling of the ball in this way.

However, players with the word "horse" have a very good mentality and are difficult to be influenced by the outside world.

Mahrez brought the ball to the front of the penalty area at high speed before slowing down.

Right center back Boateng, who was chasing back at high speed, was still running with all his strength, but he seemed to have lost the chance to get in position.

As soon as his right foot touched the line of the penalty area, Mahrez immediately picked up his left foot and shot into the far corner.

Goalkeeper Neuer didn't expect Mahrez to come at all, and his reaction was so slow by one tenth of a second.

It was just about tenths of a second too late, and it was already too late to make a save...

Neuer's body had just pounced to the right before it was close to the ground. The football flying towards the lower left corner of the goal passed by first, grazing the inner edge of the left goal post and rushing into the net...

No one expected that Arsenal would expand the score at the end of stoppage time in the first half.

The Bayern fans in the audience became confused, pursed their lips, and stared blankly at the Arsenal players celebrating the goal.

For the unplanned goal, Arsenal players celebrated wildly.

In addition, ending the first half with a two-goal lead greatly boosted the team's morale.

Bayern coach Heynckes let out a long sigh, then turned around and walked towards the tunnel.

If anyone looks at it, they will definitely feel that the back figure is very lonely.

Going into the halftime break with one goal behind, there is a high probability that the game will come back to win in the second half.

Being two goals behind means it will be difficult to recover.

Not to mention turning defeat into victory, the possibility of evening the score is very slim.

……

Hummels, who was lying on the ground, was even more depressed. He strained his thigh muscle and no one seemed to notice.

Until the attentive Javi Martinez discovered that something was wrong with Hummels, and after asking, he immediately signaled the sideline doctor to come on.

After diagnosis by the team doctor, Hummels can still persist.

The on-site director showed the camera to Hummels who was being diagnosed by the team doctor, and then restored the wonderful replay of the few seconds when the roof fell.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said solemnly: "Mats Hummels seems to have strained his thigh muscle when he took off. This... is not good news for Bayern, which is two goals behind..."

Immediately, a close-up shot of Mahrez, who scored twice, was pushed to the face.

That's the way it is in football matches, the goal is always the one that gets the most attention.

"Mahrez performed very well today. He twice received wonderful passes from his teammates and scored, helping Arsenal lead Bayern by two goals as a guest."

Central 5 commentator He Wei laughed and said: "Heynckes still underestimated the super personal abilities of other Arsenal players. Almost all the energy from offense to defense was put on Martin, so that other players neglected to defend, especially Mahrez was in great form today."

"This also shows that Arsenal is now a very mature team. When opportunities arise, there will always be players to seize them. In the past, such scoring opportunities were all taken by Martin, who was both a father and a mother."

Guest commentator Xu Yang talked eloquently.

At the end of the first half, the scoreboard showed 0:2.

The home team goes first and the away team goes last. Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena in Munich frowned and looked listless.

Arsenal fans who traveled with the team were filled with excitement and celebrated the two-goal lead with joy.

They know that as long as there is no active suicide, the possibility of defeating Bayern as a guest is more than 80%.

The players returned to their respective locker rooms, and each TV station focused on the end of the first half and conducted an orderly review.

Substitute players from both sides went to the court to warm up and prepare for possible appearances in the second half.

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and the starting players from both sides returned to the court one after another.

After more than ten minutes of calming down, the home fans in the auditorium also regained some of their energy and cheered for the players on the field who were fighting again.

Being two goals behind has become a reality. What we can do now is to continue to cheer for the team and hope that they can perform at their best in the second half and achieve a comeback.

Before the change of sides, Bayern took the lead in making adjustments.

However, this adjustment is not active, but passive.

At the end of stoppage time in the first half, Hummels strained his thigh while taking off and was unable to continue the game, so teenager Süle came on as a substitute.

Regarding this adjustment, Heynckes was also helpless.

The team has serious injuries, and the only central defender available is Javi Martinez, who plays as a defensive midfielder.

Vidal is still recovering from his injury. Once Javi Martinez withdraws to serve as central defender, there will be even greater flaws in the key midfielder position.

In the absence of extra options, the only choice is to use Süle, who has performed well this season.

※※※※※

"aoaoaoooooooo——"

Lewandowski's two consecutive shots led to Cech making wonderful saves one after another. Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena in Munich were like chicken blood and let out hysterical shouts.

The main forward Lewandowski continuously found shooting opportunities in the penalty area, and the whole team was greatly encouraged.

Coach Heynckes, who was standing in the technical area where the home team coach directed the game, seemed to see the possibility of narrowing the gap.

Before equalizing the score, the most important thing to do is to narrow the gap.

Once the home goal is scored, he believes an equalizer is only a matter of time.

It is even possible to overtake the score.

Wenger was dissatisfied with his team's performance at the start of the second half.

The opponent's striker continuously found shooting opportunities in the penalty area. Although he did not concede the ball, there was also a problem with the defensive system.

If not taken seriously, the probability of conceding the ball is very high.

Martin also realized that the back line was a bit unfocused. He took the lead and drove the players of the entire defensive system through large-scale running.

The Bayern players who originally found the offensive feeling were suddenly confused.

Every time I look up, I always see Arsenal defensive players nearby, and I don't dare to make too many adjustments.

Even for Franck Ribery and Robben, as they age, their physical functions decline greatly, and their ability to fight is particularly obvious.

Many five-goal battles have ended in failure.

In order to ensure control of the football, it is extremely important to speed up the passing rate and reduce the time the football stays at the feet.

Arsenal, who were leading by two goals, didn't really care. They played back and forth according to Bayern's slow-tempo style of play.

It's a pity that such an offensive method only increases the proportion of ball possession in vain.

Lewandowski, who had two consecutive shooting opportunities before, never got the ball in the penalty area again.

Shooting becomes nonsense.

Sixty minutes into the game, the scoreboard still showed Bayern trailing the away team Arsenal 0:2 at home.

Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, the on-site director showed the camera to Heynckes and Wenger respectively.

The situation is now relatively stalemate, and neither side has created an absolute scoring opportunity.

Appropriate substitutions and adjustments may be the best way to solve the current problem.

Wenger was not in a hurry, he was leading by two goals anyway.

Heynckes didn't know how to adjust.

Hummels strained his thigh and was taken off the field, which was equivalent to making an involuntary substitution.

There is still half an hour left in the game, and there are only two substitutions left, which becomes precious.

Once the adjustments you make don't work, there's less room for further adjustments.

Besides, the players on the field are in good physical condition and in good condition.

So Heynckes did not make any personnel adjustments.

The score displayed on the scoreboard did not change for a long time, and the home fans in the auditorium became more and more anxious.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but they always feel that if they don’t score for a long time, they might lose a goal...

Coach Jupp Heynckes also feels the same way.

The thunder is loud and the rain is small, which is an important precursor before the ball is lost in the football match.

In the 67th minute, the uneasy premonitions of Heynckes and the home fans became a reality.

Bayern was unable to attack for a long time, and the offensive players continued to press forward.

Tolisso got the ball in the middle and thought that Lewandowski's forward movement was very secretive. He sent a careless through ball.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by Van Dijk long ago. His long legs stretched out to intercept the pass that was about to roll towards Lewandowski close to the ground.

Arsenal's passing speed from defense to offense is very fast. Van Dijk intercepts and pokes the ball to Martin in one go.

Facing the advances of Tolisso and Javi Martinez, Martin and Xhaka, who had their backs facing the direction of the attack, played an exquisite combination with the ball.

Turning to face the offensive direction, he received the ball and protected the ball 360 degrees on the spot. He turned around and passed Tolisso who was making a tackle. Then, without giving Javi Martinez a chance to get closer, he sent a penetrating kick to the left rib of the backcourt with the inside of his left foot. Strong oblique straight plug.

Bayern's two central defenders Boateng and Süle were on both sides of the arc in the center circle. Boateng, who instinctively stretched his feet, did not touch the ball.

Jule, who is 1.95 meters tall and weighs 99 kilograms, is extremely capable of frontal defense. Turning around to pursue him is similar to turning around on an aircraft carrier.

When Heynckes saw Mahrez passing through the center line at a speed visible to the naked eye in pursuit of Martin's pass, he froze in place.

The same offensive routine, breaking through three lines of defense?

"wowowooooo——"

The Bayern fans in the audience were all numb.

Neuer, who was ready to attack, did not wait in front of the goal like he did in the previous two goals. This time he chose to abandon the goal decisively!

However, what he didn't expect was that Martin's ground-to-ground through ball did not continue to accelerate as it seemed, but became slower and slower.

But Neuer knew there was no way out and could only pounce on the ball.

Mahrez is not particularly fast, but Martin's passing is very good.

If the same pass is passed by another player, Neuer will most likely clear the ball first.

Martin's pass was aimed at Mahrez and took various factors into consideration.

What is consistent passing and running?

This... is the consistency of passing and running!

Mahrez, whose speed has not slowed down, took the lead and smashed the ball out with the inside of the instep of his left foot. Then he jumped up and avoided Neuer's tackle. He stumbled slightly after landing, but it did not affect him.

After adjusting his steps, Mahrez, who was full of confidence, directly kicked the ball to the unguarded goal about 35 meters away from the goal on the right rib of the attack...

Boateng, who was chasing back at high speed, was still a few meters away from the top of the penalty area. He instinctively stopped when he saw the football flying toward the goal.

The flying football fell into the unguarded goal without incident and hit the snow-white net.

"Goooooooooooooal——"

"Mahrez! The third goal! Arsenal leads 3:0 against Bayern as a guest!"

"Incredible game! Bayern Munich fell in the same pit three times!"

"Oh My God! There may be no surprises for the teams that advance to the Champions League finals! Arsenal and Real Madrid have a high probability of reaching the Champions League finals for the third time in a row!"

……

The commentator in the live commentary box/remote broadcast room blurted out at this moment.

At the same time, Mahrez, who scored the goal, was also particularly excited.

He knows the weight of this goal.

A three-goal lead as a guest and a hat-trick!

The most handsome guy in this game!

This is his best game since joining Arsenal!
