Chapter 367 I know how to break their goal!
On the afternoon of February [-]th, at the Olympiastadion in Munich.
The No.20 second round of the Bundesliga focuses on Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund at home.
For the UEFA Champions League round of [-] knockout match against Barcelona in the middle of the week, Bayern coach Magath hid a number of main players in this focus battle, but even so, Bayern Munich still played a crazy offensive.
Only 5 minutes into the game, Bayern got a corner kick. After Dortmund made a clearance, Sagnol made a cross from the right. Dutch center Makaay volleyed from the back point, but was blocked by Dortmund's defender. Salihamidzic, who was unguarded, scored an empty goal.
Just 1 minute later, Sauer sent a direct pass from the middle, and Ma Kai inserted a low shot from the left side of the penalty area, making another victory for Bayern Munich.
The game has completely entered the rhythm of Bayern Munich, and Dortmund can only defend passively.
No.208 minutes, Salihamidzic made a pass from the right and was cleared. Sauer passed the ball. After Pizarro and Ma Kai cooperated with each other, the Peruvian striker shot from the outside of the instep near the penalty spot, further expanding the score for Bayern.
Six minutes later, another beautiful back-and-back volley pass from Sauer broke through Dortmund's defense very imaginatively. Ma Kai succeeded in turning offside and scored a single-handed goal.
Four to zero!
This score was maintained until the end of the first half.
After changing sides in the second half, Bayern Munich further expanded its lead in just 10 minutes. It was still a direct pass from Sauer. After Ma Kai succeeded in countering offside, he scored again and staged a hat-trick.
……
Magath was all smiles throughout the game.
From the first minute, Bayern Munich completely controlled the situation and did not give Dortmund the slightest chance.
In the first half, Bayern Munich had twelve shots, Dortmund had two shots, and the score was four to zero.
The Hornets didn't even have a chance to threaten the Bayern Munich goal.
All of this depends on the overall outstanding performance of the team. More importantly, this is still in the absence of many main players and the core midfielder Ballack is absent due to injury. How can this make Magath unhappy?
All the Bayern fans did not hesitate to give their applause and cheers. They were all satisfied with the team's performance.
More importantly, after the winter break, Bayern Munich has indeed adjusted quite well.
Judging from this game, Sauer and Ma Kai are in very good condition. The former's agility and the latter's efficiency have been fully displayed in this game, and Pizarro has also played his own value.
It is worth mentioning that many of Pizarro's goals this season were scored within the first three to 10 minutes of the first half.
"Seeing that they are in such a good state, I am starting to feel a little troubled, who will be arranged in the middle of the week?" Magath said with a wry smile.
Behind him, the assistants in the coach's bench were also amused.
This is indeed a happy trouble.
The front line is not a big problem, Ma Kai and Pizarro are relatively stable, but in the midfield, Sauer, Salihamidzic, Ze Roberto, Demichelis, plus a Ballack who doesn't know if he can catch up, and the genius Deisler...
Thinking about it is really a headache!
"Barcelona's recent state is also quite good, especially after Marcos Senna joined, they only conceded one goal against Zaragoza, and their defensive level has been greatly improved." The assistant behind reminded.
Magathi nodded, but didn't care too much, "Marcos Senna is really good, but unfortunately, he can't play in the Champions League."
Senna was unable to play for Barcelona in the Champions League because he represented Villarreal in the UEFA Cup.
This is indeed a pity, but no one will question this deal, because judging from the recent rounds of the league, Senna only spent 200 million euros on Barcelona, which can be said to be overvalued.
"Tonight is a test. Judging from the performance of the first half and the second half, we still need to catch the first half."
As Bayern coach, Magath will not be aimless.
Many people thought that he had hidden several main players, but in fact, he was testing a possibility.
It is estimated that many people have not noticed that the average age of Bayern Munich's starting lineup tonight is over 30 years old.
This is the first time Magath has arranged such an old starting lineup since he coached Bayern Munich.
His intention is very clear, that is to test the state of this group of veterans and their ability to cope with high-intensity games.
Judging from the performance of this focus game, Bayern's performance in the first half was significantly better than that in the second half. The rich experience of the veterans is still very useful at critical moments, especially veterans like Sauer and Ze Roberto, which are unmatched by young players like Schweinsteiger.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, in the second half, they began to feel a little overwhelmed.
Maximizing strengths and avoiding weaknesses, Magath is very clear that he must give full play to his own advantages when facing Barcelona at home.
Barcelona's defense is a big problem. Although Marcos Senna has improved a lot in the league after joining, the Brazilian midfielder can't play in the Champions League. At that time, Barcelona will still need to rely on a weak defensive lineup to support it.
Bayern Munich is home. Although not conceding goals is the top priority, it is also a very good game strategy to start aggressively and fight for the first half to decide the outcome.
Especially tonight's game made Magath full of confidence.
…………
…………
With a [-]-[-] home victory over Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich's morale was boosted.
Coach Magath said in the post-match press conference that this big victory gave Bayern great confidence.
"Although Barcelona is not at the same level as Dortmund, I believe that we will beat Barcelona. No matter who watched our game today, they will not doubt that we have such strength."
Magath also vowed that Bayern Munich will not compromise and be conservative in the face of the powerful attacking Barcelona.
"After watching tonight's game, I believe everyone can see that we have a strong offensive firepower, which is not inferior to Barcelona, and we are playing at home. There is no reason to be conservative, is there?"
"Yes, we will play our style at home and we will show Barcelona what we are capable of!"
Dutch center Ma Kai, who scored a hat-trick, was also ambitious after the game.
When he joined Bayern Munich, many people knew that Bayern also tried to introduce Su Dong. Later, as Su Dong became famous in Valencia, Ma Kai also came under a lot of pressure, especially in the Champions League last season. Bayern Munich lost to Valencia, which made Ma Kai questioned.
Many people even said that Bayern Munich should have signed Su Dong, not Ma Kai.
Now, with a hat-trick, Ma Kai is full of confidence. He said that he is in very good condition.
In the interview, Ma Kai did not deny that Su Dong is one of the strongest centers in Europe, but he believes that Bayern Munich is no longer the Bayern of last season. The joining of Lucio has greatly improved Bayern Munich's defensive strength.
"Sudong is indeed very strong, but we have Lucio, he is the strongest central defender in Europe at the moment, and we all believe that he can freeze Sudong very well."
In addition, Ma Kai also said that he is no stranger to Barcelona's goals. During his time in Deportivo, he scored a lot of Barcelona's goals. He said that he is very familiar with it.
"I know how to score their goals!"
……
The German media were also very excited about Bayern Munich's five-goal victory. They believed that this was a blow to Barcelona from the Bundesliga. More importantly, it was the state and strength of Magath's team in this game.
"Obviously, they are ready!" Bild said expectantly.
The Munich Daily even stated that every team is eager to have a lineup like Bayern. Using a substitute lineup can easily defeat strong enemies in the league and allow assistant players to get a full rest.
Only the real giants have such a strong strength!
When the Munich Daily said this, it was more or less implicitly targeting Barcelona, because the whole world knows that Barcelona has the weakest lineup in La Liga. Rijkaard even had to pull 18 or [-]-year-old youths from the youth team to the first team to make up the [-]-man roster. This shows how embarrassing the situation of Barcelona is.
In comparison, Bayern Munich is simply too extravagant.
…………
…………
When Bayern Munich thrashed Borussia Dortmund [-]-[-] at home, Barcelona hosted Real Mallorca at Camp Nou that night.
Barcelona is obviously also preparing for the Champions League match in the middle of the week, but due to the fact that the lineup is too thin, they still play with the main lineup. In the end, they defeated the visiting Real Mallorca [-]-[-].
Portuguese midfielder Deco scored twice to give Barcelona three points.
Su Dong contributed an assist, but missed at least two very good chances to score.
One time was in the opening 7 minutes, when Harvey made a precise long pass from the backcourt to the right, Giuly knocked back from the bottom, Su Dong followed up and volleyed, and was thrown out by the opponent's goalkeeper Moya like a god.
Then Deco scored, and Su Dong got another chance in the No.206 minute.
Giuly and Belletti cooperated on the right and made a pass. Su Dong outflanked the ball from the back. When the header hit the goal, it hit the crossbar, almost.
Although the game took all three points, Su Dong failed to score and missed two good chances to score, which is somewhat regrettable.
Especially in another stadium, Ma Kai was amazingly efficient and staged a hat-trick. In contrast, Su Dong's missed opportunity was a bit ugly.
Therefore, after Barcelona played Real Mallorca, a group of German media headed by the Munich Daily began to hype Su Dong's state, thinking that he had fallen back after encountering the peak.
This is also the norm.
Almost all players who have won the World Footballer and the Golden Globe Award will inevitably drop a little in the second half.
This is known as a landslide after the peak, and some people even continue to slump for a long time.
Su Dongdong's performance after the winter break was indeed not as impressive as in the first half.
Rijkaard is full of confidence in Su Dong, thinking that Su Dong's state and strength are no problem.
"I believe that at the critical moment, he will prove his worth!"
But as a guest at the Olympic Stadium, Rijkaard took a cautious approach.
Barcelona's defense is indeed a big problem.
