After feeling Thiam approaching, Jardel quickly put down his swung left foot, then moved the ball to the side, dodged Thiam's press, and then began to break into the penalty area!
Thiam, who was unprepared, was directly left behind by Jardel. Seeing Jardel striding to catch up with the ball, he swung his left foot again. Robert Kovac, the last defender in the penalty area, also immediately pounced on him, intending to
Use your body to block the opponent's shot.
But Jader still missed the shot.
He repeated his same trick and dunked the ball to the side again. Kovac didn't rush as hard as Thiam, but he was worse than Thiam in confrontation. Jardel dodged his outstretched hand.
After kicking the ball, he relied on his physical advantage to forcefully squeeze past Kovac, and then raised his foot to pick the ball before Kahn was attacking. The ball jumped up lightly, just past Kahn and struggled to stretch.
The hand came out and then flew into the gate of Bayern!
Two to zero! Atletico Madrid scored again! Before the end of the first half, they penetrated through a series of short passes, and then Jardel passed two defenders and scored in the penalty area, expanding their lead!
"goooooooooal! Jardel! Beautiful goal! Two consecutive breakthroughs fully demonstrated his characteristics! We have only seen Jardel as a powerful center who can score goals with strength, but we have ignored that he is also a Brazilian player!
These two breakthroughs allowed us to see his excellent foot skills! Buying Jardel for 20 million, Atletico Madrid really took a big advantage!"
"It's not that Atletico Madrid has never had top strikers. From their former prince Kiko, to later Vieri, and then Hasselbaink... they are all shooters with excellent scoring ability, but Kiko
The number of goals scored is not very many. Vieri and Hasselbaink only stayed at Atletico Madrid for one season... Jardel came as a substitute for Hasselbaink last season. His performance
Quite outstanding, and can also play a big role at the tactical level. This is his second season. It is obvious that his condition has not declined because it is the second season, but he has begun to perform well.
It’s getting better and better...This season, Atletico Madrid has great hopes to achieve better results in the Champions League!”
Amid the shouts of the commentators, Jardel opened his arms and rushed to the stands occupied by Atletico Madrid fans. Then he raised his arms and shouted to the stands. The Atletico Madrid fans in the stands also responded with huge cheers.
He - the fans of Atletico Madrid have been very happy for more than a season. The arrival of championships one after another has made them feel a little dizzy. All of this has been brought about by Dick after taking office!
Dick didn't look particularly excited. He just waved his fist. This situation was expected by him, and there was nothing special to be happy about. After all, it is a fact that Bayern's strength has declined. Winning the Champions League last season can only
It can be said that this group of players has exerted their final strength, and after the three main midfielders were injured and absent, Bayern began to become completely weak. Compared with Bayern and Atletico Madrid, in addition to the greater reputation of the entire team,
In terms of strength, they have no advantage at all, but are at a huge disadvantage...
Elber is an excellent forward, but his current status has begun to decline. He is no longer the top forward in the Bundesliga. Salihamidzic is just a wide player. Although Pizarro is a strong player,
He has only just joined the team, and it is still unknown what kind of performance he can have. Can such a forward line compare with Atletico Madrid's front three?
The midfielder lacks three main players, and is composed of two full-backs, a teenager and a substitute. Can it compare with Atletico Madrid's midfielder led by Belleron?
How can the three central defenders on the back line who turn slowly and have a single obvious flaw compare with Atletico Madrid's two complementary top central defenders and two powerful full-backs?
In terms of goalkeeper, Kahn is better than Molina, but Molina is not an ordinary goalkeeper. This gap is not enough to make up for the huge gap between Bayern and Atletico Madrid!
When the first half ended, Atletico Madrid fans were very happy. They seemed to be able to see the scene of winning the Super Cup. The strength and advantage shown by Atletico Madrid in the first half were quite large.
In the box, Old Hill smiled happily. Although he spent more than 30 million and nearly 40 million to buy three people this summer, the investment was only a little less than last season, but he did not bring in so many people.
, but now he began to feel that Dick did have a vision. Thinking about the fact that he had introduced more than a hundred players in total before, the effect was just like that - Hill began to vaguely feel that the management of the team should be left to
It’s better to have professionals do it…
While Old Hill was smiling, the Big Three of Bayern in the other box looked a bit ugly. They had just discussed that the team's strength seemed to be going downhill, and then this cruel reality was immediately placed in front of them.
before.
They are all discerning people, and they can naturally see that compared to Bayern and Atletico Madrid, in addition to their great reputation, they have no advantage at all in terms of the composition of their players, and can even be said to be at a disadvantage!
Two years ago, although Atletico Madrid was well-known, it was far behind Bayern. However, now, they have surpassed Bayern in terms of strength!
In just two years, Bayern actually did not suffer much loss in personnel. It can only be said to be natural aging. However, in two years, Dick successfully formed a team that can compete with a giant like Bayern.
Atletico Madrid!
Although Dick has spent a lot of money on the club in the past two summers, the total net investment in the transfer market in the two seasons has not exceeded 80 million US dollars, and he has already brought a league championship and a UEFA Cup championship.
, a Copa del Rey champion and two Spanish Super Cup champions. Such an investment and such a return on the championship are enough to make everyone feel that it is worth it - Moratti spent hundreds of millions in one summer and only got one in the end.
Fourth in the league, Leeds United spent so much money, and the most glorious thing is a Champions League semi-final, but there is no league championship. Lazio spent several years of money to win a league championship...compared with them
, Atletico Madrid is already very, very lucky...
"Hill is really lucky... Such an outstanding head coach actually came to the door by himself." Hoeness said somewhat bitterly.
Beckenbauer shook his head: "Don't say such things... If Dick had come to our club to apply for a job, I'm afraid we wouldn't have used him... Why would we use a head coach who can't train? And what's more?
Do we have room for him to display his abilities? Probably only a messy chairman like Hill would arbitrarily appoint Dick as the head coach of Atletico Madrid's second team. And if Atletico Madrid hadn't been almost relegated last season, I'm afraid.
He also couldn't get the opportunity to coach Atletico Madrid's first team. This was his luck and Hill's luck. This kind of luck can only happen to Hill. No professional chairman can give Dick such a chance.
The opportunity and such rewards are what Hill deserves."
"Don't envy Hill's luck... We are in danger in this game!" Rummenigge raised his voice and said.
"Losing a European Super Cup is not a big deal. The key is whether Bayern can continue to be strong." Beckenbauer said softly.
In the locker room, Dick praised the players' performance: "We played well in the first half and continued to do so in the second half! Stabilize the midfield and play behind them! This is their flaw, this is their Achilles' heel!
As long as we grasp this point, we can continue to score goals! Pay attention to efficiency when counterattacking in the frontcourt, do you understand?"
The players nodded at the same time. In this first half, their counterattack was very exciting. Almost all players had a chance to perform. Although Bayern's offense was relatively fierce, it was within their tolerance. On the contrary, their counterattack
But the game was played extremely smoothly - this kind of game is naturally enjoyable, just like playing basketball with someone in a bullfight. Your height, strength, speed and skills are just right to hold down the opponent's head firmly, and other people's shots are not missed.
It's hot pot, you hit it accurately, and the opponent is not completely defenseless. This kind of competition is easy and enjoyable...
"Don't underestimate the Germans, you know?" Seeing the relaxed looks on the players' faces, Dick reminded: "Don't forget that the other side is also the champion of the Champions League! Although their current condition is not very good, they are still
We are one of the best teams. We can relax a little mentally, but we cannot relax at all during the game! I think you all know the tenacious characteristics of the Germans in football. If you are not careful, you may get into trouble.
We were overturned by them. We are not an invincible team, and we are not at the point where we can arbitrarily despise a team like Bayern!"
Maybe the Atletico Madrid players who had performed very well recently didn't particularly listen to Dick's words, but after the start of the second half, they quickly felt the tenacity and fighting spirit of the Germans, and why Dick valued this opponent so much.
.
During the halftime break, Heathfield immediately changed someone - center Jankel replaced Pizarro, who had an average performance in the first half, to strengthen his impact ability and high-altitude ball ability in the penalty area. This can be regarded as
An appropriate substitution. After all, Bayern still has some advantages on the wing. They created a lot of opportunities on the wing in the first half, but they were just a little behind in grabbing points in the middle. Adding Yankel, a high center forward, will allow them to
There are more opportunities in the penalty area - Bayern is about to launch a counterattack.
Yankel's effect after coming on was really good. After continuous attacks, Lizarazu's cross was pushed out of the baseline by Stam. Bayern won a corner kick in the 57th minute.
Hargreaves took a corner kick. Yankel and others jumped from the front and center to attract Atletico Madrid's defensive power. Salihamidzic, who inserted in the back row, shook his head in front of Capdevila.
After attacking the goal, the ball drew an arc in the air and then flew into the blind spot behind the goal!
Bayern got a point back! The current score is 1 to 2. Bayern is only one point behind. For them, they still have to play in the next game!
After this goal, the casual contempt of Atletico Madrid players has been completely eliminated. They are facing a team that has completed three consecutive Bundesliga championships in the past three seasons, and won one championship and one runner-up in the Champions League within three years.
A super strong team in the semi-finals!
This kind of performance can be said to be the team with the best overall record in Europe in the past three years! Real Madrid has two Champions League championships but no league championship. Manchester United has three consecutive championships and three crowns, but only entered the fourth quarter of the Champions League in one season.
Strong, as for other teams, they cannot compare with Bayern in terms of results!
Facing such a team, relaxing is tantamount to suicide!
