Chelsea players are very happy and excited in the locker room. Chelsea can be said to be very strong in the Champions League recently. First they beat Barcelona twice at home and away, and now they lead Bayern 2-0 at home.
They are very happy.
They think the Champions League semi-finals are just around the corner.
So from the moment they entered the locker room, they were chatting. Everyone was chatting with each other excitedly.
"I think it's normal. This is nothing to be happy about at all. Because what we are facing is not a normal Bayern, but a Bayern with a semi-substitute lineup. It is a Bayern with a broken lineup. Let me tell you, we only have one chance.
Chance. Their main players will return in the second round. Bayern will be very difficult to beat by then."
When he was drawn against Bayern, Su Yun felt very unlucky.
I also cursed UEFA fiercely in my heart.
But now it seems that Chelsea is so lucky. Su Yun is so lucky. Because the Bayern that Chelsea encountered is probably the weakest Bayern this season and the weakest Bayern in recent seasons.
Look at their defence.
Thirty-five-year-old Link, thirty-five-year-old Lizarazu, and thirty-one-year-old Kovacs.
And look at Bayern's forwards.
Salihamidzic and Guerrero.
If Arsene Wenger's Arsenal had encountered such a Bayern team, it would have been impossible for Bayern to enter the Champions League quarter-finals. But Chelsea was very lucky to encounter such a Bayern team with a semi-substitute lineup that is rare in a century.
.
Su Yun is now very grateful to UEFA.
Now in Chelsea's Champions League history, Su Yun defeated giants like Bayern and became the semi-finals of the Champions League. People in the future will not care what kind of Bayern Su Yun defeated. They will only remember that Su Yun eliminated the Bundesliga giants.
Bayern.
"My request is very simple. It is to completely defeat Bayern and make the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals lose any value. I don't want anything bad to happen when I go to Bayern's home court. And I don't want to go to Bayern's home court.
It’s hard work for the second game.”
"So my request in the second half is simple. Continue to attack Bayern. It is impossible for Bayern's defense to stop our attack."
Su Yun began to lay out tactics on the tactical board.
"Joaquin, hit Lizarazu repeatedly. He is old and will definitely not be able to keep up with your pace. Samuel, Miro, you are the same. Use your running to make Bayern's defenders completely lose their strength.
.”
Magath is a head coach who attaches great importance to physical strength.
But no matter how much you pay attention to the thirty-five-year-old Link and Lizarazu, it will be of no use.
If someone has outstanding physical strength like Williams, maybe he can still have strong physical fitness when he is thirty-five years old. But when Link and Lizarazu were at their peak, they obviously could not compare with Williams in terms of physical strength.
.
Their physical strength before was not comparable to Lampard's. Now that they are old, their physical strength problem is even greater.
If it weren't for Bayern's serious injuries, Magath wouldn't have let Link and Lizarazu play.
So Su Yun's idea is very simple.
It completely paralyzed Bayern's defense line.
"Go. Use your performance to make the second leg worthless. After forty-five minutes, we will celebrate with our fans that we have entered the Champions League semi-finals."
…………
Su Yun's mobilization ability is still good.
At the beginning of the second half, it turned out that Bayern wanted to exert force. Magath asked the Bayern players to attack. Unfortunately, after the beginning of the second half, Bayern discovered that Chelsea was completely crazy. They frequently attacked Bayern's defense in the frontcourt.
Klose and Eto'o frequently ran and interspersed, driving Kovac and Link.
Especially Link.
In the first half, he and Klose kept fighting for headers, which caused him to lose a lot of energy. Although he replenished a lot of energy during the halftime break, he still felt very tired in the second half.
There are even some that can no longer run.
Both Klose and Eto'o are players with very good physical strength. They keep running, which makes Kovac and Link's physical strength decrease quickly. The more they run, the more energetic Klose and Eto'o become.
And Link and Kovacs' footsteps became heavier and heavier.
This is even more true for Joaquín on the right.
In the second half, Joaquin had many chances to get the ball. After he got the ball, his actions were very simple. He just kept hitting Lizarazu's side and kept breaking through Lizarazu.
Lizarazu is the most famous left-back in Bayern history.
But he is already thirty-five years old this year. He will be thirty-six soon.
Facing the impact of young players like Joaquin, he is really powerless.
He couldn't keep up with Joaquin.
Joaquin is fast and explosive, and Lizarazu's speed and explosive power are no match for Joaquin.
Magath also found out. He immediately replaced Ze Roberto with the young Bastian Schweinsteiger, and then told Schweinsteiger to help Lizarazu defend.
Bastian Schweinsteiger retreated, leaving Chelsea without any threat on the right.
Alves pushed forward almost without any scruples.
Bayern's defensive system is about to collapse.
"Williams, he handed the ball to Joaquin. Joaquin got the ball. In the second half, Joaquin was really full of fighting spirit. Lizarazu was embarrassed in front of Joaquin."
Lizarazu's steps are very heavy now.
He couldn't keep up with Joaquin's pace at all. But fortunately, when Joaquin got the ball, Bastian Schweinsteiger also came to help defend. Lizarazu only had to watch the front and block Joaquin's breakthrough route.
If you live there, then nothing will be a problem.
But Joaquin was not afraid just because the two men were guarding him.
When he saw Lizarazu blocking him in front of him, he broke through directly to the middle.
"Joaquin, he wants to cut inside. Lizarazu and Bastian Schweinsteiger have to prevent Joaquin from cutting inside...Joaquin, pass the ball!"
Joaquin broke through the middle and directly led Lizarazu and Bastian Schweinsteiger. However, he did not continue to cut inside, but gently pushed the ball to where he was just now.
"Alves. Alves assisted. Alves, cross!"
The most unlucky person appeared.
Link was very worried when he saw the cross. Because Klose is the most powerful player in heading the ball. After fighting with Klose for sixty minutes, Link was no longer Klose's opponent.
But Link refused to admit defeat.
Even if he loses, he will lose standing.
So even though he was very tired, he still stepped forward to defend Klose. But his physical deficiencies could no longer be made up for with mental strength. When Alves passed the ball, Klose was already stepping forward.
Jump high.
"Klose, header!"
"goooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!"
"I want to say that Link should really retire. In this game, I couldn't see Link making any contribution as a central defender. In the confrontation with Klose, he was completely at a disadvantage."
"This time it was Link who failed to guard Klose again. Klose scored twice."
"It's three to zero. It's three to zero. Chelsea won the game very easily. But I'm worried that if Bayern doesn't make adjustments, Link's position will continue to lose the ball and spaces will continue to appear."
Magath was very anxious off the court.
The commentator could see it, how could Magath not see it. But Bayern has too many problems now, and the defense only has a few of them. Even finding a substitute player for Link is difficult.
He didn't bring any players at the center back position at all.
He was very angry.
Compared to Chelsea, who have a defender of Panucci's caliber in the defense, Bayern's defense does not have any strong players.
It's time for Bayern's defense to change.
Just when everyone thought that Link's position was too problematic and Bayern should make a substitution, Link was missed again. It should be said that it was not considered a missed player, but his physical fitness was already too poor.
Can't keep up with Klose's pace.
He failed to follow Klose during the run.
Klose's header ability is very strong. It's very good. But Klose's speed is also very good. Even the English media said Klose is "German Owen".
This is not a title that Klose really wants.
But we can also see Klose's speed. Klose's explosive power, starting speed, and absolute speed. Although he does not have the abnormal speed of Ronaldo, Henry, Eto'o, and Irving, Klose is definitely not a slow player.
.
This time Klose received a pass from Rosicky and suddenly ran. Link had already worked very hard, but facing the fast Klose, Link couldn't guard him at all.
After running two steps, Link fell down.
Because I'm too tired.
Legs shaking.
After exerting his strength, he wanted to catch up. But after thinking that way, his body failed to keep up. So before he could react, he fell down.
He fell to the ground in one fell swoop.
But Klose no longer cared about Link's condition, and even Klose didn't notice that Link had fallen. He only had one idea now.
hat trick.
Use his own performance to tell Su Yun that he is no worse than Eto'o. He hopes that Su Yun can give the two people a chance to compete fairly. In Su Yun's heart, Klose is just a player who complements Chelsea's style of play.
But Klose has greater ambitions.
He hopes to become Chelsea's main player. He wants to compete with Eto'o for Chelsea's main player position.
So when he faced Kahn, the big brother of the national team, he showed no mercy at all.
It was a direct kick to the door.
"Hat trick. Klose's first hat trick at Chelsea. Unexpectedly, it appeared in the Champions League quarter-finals. There is no suspense about the outcome of the game, and there is no suspense even in the second leg."
"Four to zero. Chelsea's four to zero at home made the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals completely worthless. In the history of the Champions League knockout rounds, there has never been a game in which the opponent was leading 4 to 0 and was overturned in the end. The semi-finals
, Chelsea’s entry into the semi-finals is certain.”
"Su Yun has led Chelsea to enter the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons. Chelsea is in the best era in history, and coach Su Yun is also having the best results now."
"Who will be Chelsea's opponent in the semi-finals? I am worried about this opponent. Facing Chelsea like this, any team will be frightened."
