329 Peter Pan
Two goals behind Bayern Munich has already begun to launch a crazy attack on Manchester United in a somewhat crazy manner!
Among them, their tough defensive characteristics are also fully demonstrated.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Ribery, Muller, Mandzukic and Alaba made a quick pass in the left half of the frontcourt and cooperated. Ribery cut into the penalty area and shot, but De Gea stretched out the ball and blocked it.
The football flew outside the penalty area and passed by Cleville and passed it to the left side of the midfield.
Tang Hong quickly ran and dribbled forward, then fell to the ground by foul by Xavi Martinez.
Originally, defensive players in important positions in the finals had to avoid taking cards too early, but now they have no worries. When they continue to suffer chaos, Xavi Martinez received a yellow card in order to curb Manchester United's fast break.
Manchester United also did not reduce their offensive investment. After a quick pass in the frontcourt, Van Persie sent the ball to the right in front of the penalty area and sent it into the left rib of the penalty area.
Although Tang Hong got rid of Dante, he was unexpectedly taken over by Ram.
This allowed him to knock Ram to the ground from behind while fighting for the ball.
Tang Hong shook his head helplessly at this, and then took the initiative to pull Ram up from the ground friendly.
Bayern Munich's pass speed in the frontcourt is getting faster and faster, making Manchester United's midfield defense almost useless.
During the rapid transfer of football, Robben suddenly stopped passing the ball and turned into a single-soldier blast. It was easier to catch the Manchester United defense off guard in time.
In the 34th minute of the game, when he suddenly cut inside and reached the front of the penalty area, the Manchester United midfield defenders rushed towards him and surrounded him. Robben pivoted the ball and shook over Carrick, but was pulled from the side by Phil Jones and lost control of the football.
The referee blew a whistle to signal Phil Jones to make a foul but did not take out the cards, which made Robben very dissatisfied.
Cleville already has a yellow card. If Phil Jones takes the card again, Manchester United's midfielder will probably be very uncomfortable in defense.
Robben and Ribery both stood in front of the football and were preparing to take a free kick. The two often used stone scissors to decide who would take the penalty in the league this season, but this time the two did not have a dispute. After the referee blew the whistle, the free kick kicked by Robben was blocked by a wall.
But the ball was still at Bayern Munich's feet. Alaba dribbled from the left and rushed to the bottom line, and then knocked the ball back to Ribery who was running to the position to meet him. The latter sent the ball into the penalty area from the crack of the man. After Mandzukic received the ball, he pulled the ball across and drove it and completed the adjustment and immediately took the ball.
De Gea flew into a save and blocked the ball out of the baseline with one hand.
Bayern Munich fans are extremely worried and feel that the team is only one de Gea away from scoring!
Bayern Munich took a corner kick and was cleared by Phil Jones in the middle of the penalty area.
After Rooney took the ball outside the penalty area, he directly passed the ball to the left. In this suppressed situation, Tang Hong is the best pusher for Manchester United's fast break.
But when Tang Hong had just stopped the ball and changed direction and got rid of the nearby counterattack, Ram quickly killed and completed the interception from the back while he had just changed direction.
Then Bayern Munich continued to launch an offensive, and Tang Hong hurriedly counterattacked, and Koram quickly took the ball and found Robben.
Robben, who was on the edge of the penalty area, got the ball and went to the penalty area. He just entered the penalty area and led several players to retreat. He then pulled the ball and then changed direction and turned to cross-cut. Without waiting for Carrick to intercept it, he shot and shot out.
The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal. De Gea rushed out this time but failed to touch the football. The arc of the football with an inner spin made De Gea completely desperate, and Manchester United fans were almost afraid to see the final result.
The moment the football rushed into the far corner of the goal, Bayern Munich fans burst into deafening cheers!
Mandzukic rushed into the goal and picked up the ball and ran towards the center circle in his arms. Even in the Champions League final, Robben did not waste time celebrating and ran towards the center circle expressionlessly.
"Arger Robben! What a wonderful and wonderful arc! He defeated De Gea!
Bayern Munich finally got a goal back, which made the game suspense come back!
Bayern Munich established an unprecedented advantage through continuous pressure on Manchester United through the midfield and frontcourt. Manchester United's passiveness of losing control in the midfield also made them taste the pain of conceding the ball.
Manchester United leads Bayern Munich 2:1, and the one-goal gap will only make the game more intense!”
Heinx applauded on the sidelines and was proud of the team's performance. Ferguson also clapped his hands to encourage the team's mentality not to be affected by the goal concealment.
It is hard to say how big the difference in the strength of the two teams is, but if we only compare the midfield alone, Manchester United does have a certain gap with Bayern Munich.
The direction of the game depends on the performance of the forward line for Manchester United, but the current game trend is the midfield that determines their destiny for Bayern Munich.
Manchester United kicked off, and there was not much time left in the first half. They weakened their offensive investment and took the initiative to control to avoid being equalized by Bayern Munich in the first half. At least in terms of rhythm, Bayern Munich is indeed better than Manchester United now. If they enter the midfield break, they can at least interrupt their overall rhythm.
When Tang Hong was controlling the ball on the wing, Cleville came to pick him up, Robben and Mueller rushed to press him, and Mandzukic ran to the vicinity of Cleville to try to wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Tang Hong knocked the ball back to Evra on the sidelines of the backcourt. The latter's long pass was unexpectedly effective.
Van Persie turned around in the middle of the frontcourt and headed the ball back. Rooney followed up and passed the ball directly behind Bayern Munich's defense line before Schweinsteiger.
Dante and Boateng immediately turned around and chased after him, and Van Persie had already formed a one-on-one strike!
Manchester United fans were very excited and were looking forward to Van Persie seizing this opportunity.
But is this an opportunity?
It looks like it is.
Compared to the simple cooperation between Bayern Munich and Rooney and Van Persie, Neuer reacted quickly and abandoned the goal!
When Van Persie rushed to the edge of the penalty area and was only one meter away from Neuer, the shooting angle in front of him had been completely blocked by Neuer, so he changed the ball and tried to drift past Neuer before hitting the empty goal.
But just as he trolled the ball, Neuer fell to the ground and put the shovel, and the direction he swept his right leg was exactly the direction of Van Persie's troll.
Neuer kicked the ball out!
Van Persie jumped over Neuer's body and completed dodging. Then he looked back and saw that the football that was released was controlled by Ram on the side.
Van Persie couldn't help but sighed with disappointment.
"Neul resolved Van Persie's single shot! Unparalleled performance!
Bayern Munich immediately launched a fast attack!”
Manchester United fans had not had time to be disappointed. Ram passed the ball to the middle to find Mueller. The latter made a pass with a diagonal pass, and Robben came again!
Robben quickly dribbled the ball and cut inside, which attracted Manchester United's entire midfield to surround and block. Under heavy encirclement, Robben calmly passed the ball across the left side in front of the penalty area.
Ribery quickly dribbled the ball and cut into the penalty area, and cooperated with Mandzukic in front of Ferdinand for a short pass and cut.
When Mandzukic sent the ball to the hinterland of the left rib of the penalty area, Ribery also made a single shot!
However, his shooting angle was a little small. De Gea blocked the near corner of the goal and blocked Ribery's shot from the bottom line!
"Wow! Ribery's single shot was blocked by De Gea from the baseline!
Both teams missed a one-on-one opportunity!
But it is undeniable that the goalkeepers on both sides performed so well!
There is not much time left in the first half, so it depends on whether Bayern Munich's corner kick attack can threaten this time."
After Bayern Munich's corner kick was taken, Ferdinand headed the ball in the middle of the penalty area, and Schweinsteiger, who was on the outside, volleyed directly against the falling football and shot the ball!
The football flew into the penalty area and was blocked by Phil Jones with his body!
Clevily flew the ball out of the sideline before Alaba took the ball in possession.
The Manchester United players couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They must admit that the opponent's offensive is too fierce!
Unlike Dortmund, which relies on counter-attack and oppression in the frontcourt, constantly creates offensive threats, Bayern Munich relies on the strong frontcourt offensive balance and threats to bring about continuous offensive threats.
In the first half, Bayern Munich launched the last strike and patiently passed the ball back and forth in the midfield quickly. Schweinsteiger suddenly passed the ball straight to the middle of the penalty area. Mandzukic received the ball with his back and forth with a diagonal pass. Robben cut inward and rushed to the far corner of the goal with his left foot!
The distance was a bit far, and when the football flew to the goal, De Gea moved and made a standard save to catch the ball directly from the air.
Robben showed a helpless expression, regretting that he was too pursuing angle and not shooting enough.
After De Gea drove the ball out, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
The fans of both sides breathed a sigh of relief first, and finally slowed down. The game was tense and fierce and the pace was fast, and they all felt the pressure was huge, let alone the players on the court?
When the two teams walked towards the player channel, they walked together in groups of three or three to exchange their experiences in the first half.
They all hope to perform better in the second half. If they have shortcomings, they hope that their teammates can take more care of them.
Tang Hong, Rooney and Van Persie were discussing the deployment and adjustment of the opponent's defense while walking. How should they make active adjustments to better create threats.
The blockade of the midfield is an offensive problem that Manchester United faces. As long as they can pass the midfield smoothly and reach the frontcourt, they are indeed capable of causing trouble to Bayern Munich.
But the key is that the midfield organization creates offensives without Shinji Kagawa, their offensive is not smooth.
Carrick is the focus of his opponent's counter-attack. Mandzukic will first put pressure around him every time he defends. Phil Jones can't count on it. All Clevi can contribute is excessive passes.
If Rooney is organizing in the backcourt, Tang Hong will naturally be blocked by his opponent with all his strength.
In the game of fluid changes, Bayern Munich's defense is getting better and better and more efficient!
Chapter completed!
