Chapter 40 Super sense of ball, Heynckes’ shock
Gomez's unexpected injury forced Heynckes to replace him with another substitute center, Mandzukic.
Mandzukic is a new player that Bayern brought back from Wolfsburg for 13 million euros this summer.
Compared with Gomez, who has superb shooting skills, a keen sense of smell in front of the goal and is very good at seizing opportunities, Mandzukic is far behind in all aspects.
However, Mandzukic is one of those players with strong mental attributes. He works hard on the court and never gives up easily even in adversity.
After he came on the field, he actively fought in the frontcourt and ran back and forth without hesitation, causing huge pressure on the Werder Bremen players holding the ball.
Led by him, Bayern's frontcourt players also further increased their pressing intensity.
At this time, Werder Bremen's players were even more unable to hold the ball, and they began to make more mistakes.
In the 51st minute of the game, Robben broke through and hit the goal. The ball went over the crossbar and flew into the stands.
2 minutes later, Ribery made a pass from the left, and Mandzukic deflected the ball due to interference from the defensive player.
Seeing that the team was besieged by the opponent, Werder Bremen's goalkeeper Militz wanted to use the goal kick to delay the time and give his teammates some breathing time.
He put the football down and picked it up again. He seemed to be dissatisfied with the lawn where it was placed, and pretended to step on it a few times.
At this time, Bayern's players quit and protested to the referee, thinking that he deliberately delayed the game.
The referee knew his thoughts clearly and immediately gave him a yellow card.
After receiving the yellow card, Militz did not dare to delay and drove the ball into the frontcourt with a big kick.
Since the players in the backcourt can't hold the ball, then play it to the frontcourt, the farther away the better.
Werder Bremen only had Arnautovic in the frontcourt, but in the battle with the opponent's defender, he took the lead in grabbing the spot and returned the ball to Lin Quan.
After Lin Quan got the ball, he was immediately pressed by Kroos.
Bayern obviously learned the lesson from conceding the ball before and knew not to let Lin Quan increase his speed.
Faced with Kroos' pressing, Lin Quan didn't panic, stopped the ball, turned around, and easily passed the latter.
But Lahm came over from the flank again, and Boateng and Gustavo in front also blocked his forward breakthrough.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Quan was trapped by four opponents.
There was no way to continue dribbling the ball forward, so he immediately changed his dribbling route, moved laterally, and took the ball to the left side of the court.
Several Bayern players saw him going to the wing and hesitated for a while.
Except for Lahm who chose to continue to follow him and wanted to cooperate with Kroos who was chasing from behind to defend him, the two defenders Boateng and Gustavo did not dare to continue to follow him.
They are defenders and do not dare to lose their position, otherwise the opponent's players will easily penetrate their defense.
Lahm was very fast. He caught up with Lin Quan and stepped down to grab the ball without hesitation.
Although Ram failed to grab the ball, he bumped into Lin Quan while he was grabbing the ball, causing Lin Quan to stagger a little.
But Lin Quan persisted and did not fall to the ground until he brought the ball to the sideline. When Ram came to grab the ball again, he kicked the ball to Ram's foot and the ball rolled out of the sideline.
The linesman raised his flag to indicate that the ball belonged to Werder Bremen.
Lin Quan did not throw the foul ball himself, but signaled his teammates to come over and serve.
De Bruyne understood what he meant and trotted over slowly.
Although he said he was running, he was actually slower than walking.
Bayern's players protested to the referee, but the referee ignored their protests.
De Bruyne ran to the sideline, picked up the football and glanced at the players in the frontcourt.
Finding that there was no particularly good point for the ball, he threw the ball back to his own backcourt.
Bayern's players immediately rushed towards the Werder Bremen player holding the ball, and the player holding the ball passed back to his defender.
The defender passed back to the goalkeeper in front of the goal when Bayern's frontcourt players rushed over.
The goalkeeper stepped on the ball, and when the opponent was about to rush in front of him, he drove forward with his big foot.
The Bayern players who sprinted all the way were so angry that they almost felt like they were out of body and ascending to heaven!
They felt like they were being played by each other, who walked him like a dog.
Their physical fitness had already declined in the second half, but after sprinting like this, their breathing became faster.
After the goal kick, goalkeeper Militz glanced at the Bayern players:
Don't you like to grab the ball?
Then go grab it!
But the distance is a bit far, so you have to run a little longer.
Arnautovic didn't have many chances in the frontcourt in this game. Werder Bremen had too little possession of the ball, and he couldn't get the ball alone in the frontcourt.
Except for a few headers, he didn't get the ball very much, so he didn't even sweat much, which kept him physically strong.
After seeing the football flying over, Anautovic jumped high and grabbed the landing spot again.
Lin Quan saw his teammates grab the first spot and ran to the left side alertly. He knew that Anautovic had a habit of ferrying the ball to the left.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Quan started, the ball landed in front of him.
Cross, who was tracking him, failed to keep up with the opponent when Lin Quan started, which caused him to take a step slower. When he tried to catch up again, he was already at least 2 meters away from the opponent!
Two meters is not too far. If you are facing an average player, it is possible to catch up if you chase back in time.
Because when players are dribbling the ball, their movement speed will be slower than when they are without the ball.
Cross was desperately chasing after him, but in front, Ram was already in position. This time, he would never let the opponent pass him easily.
As Cross chased after him, he realized something was wrong.
The distance between the two doesn't seem to have gotten much closer!
The guy's speed with the ball was almost the same as without the ball, with almost no drop!
How can this be?
Cross was shocked, he thought he couldn't do this!
Not only himself, but no one around him, or even anyone he knew, could do this!
Except for that guy, Barcelona’s No. 10!
To do this, you need an extremely good sense of the ball!
And Messi just happens to have an excellent sense of ball at a historical level!
Could it be said that this guy's sense of ball is catching up with Messi's?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Lin Quan acquired Messi's attributes, and naturally acquired Messi's super ball sense.
So he can easily complete this kind of dribbling that seems incredible to others.
Even if you look carefully, you will find it.
Every time Lin Quan touches the ball, it is extremely reasonable and the force is even. The distance between the ball and his body will not exceed one meter, even when moving at high speed.
This alone is enough to prove his strength, and this is something that anyone with playing experience can see at a glance!
Uh-huh!
Bayern's 68-year-old coach Heynckes couldn't sit still. He stood up and clenched his hands involuntarily.
At this time, he already understood that he had underestimated the little player on the opposite side.
This young man is even better than he imagined, even better than Messi who came out of nowhere back then!
Cross failed, he failed to catch up with Lin Quan.
And the latter was once again facing Bayern's left-back Philipp Lahm at this time!
