"Heathfield did not make adjustments to the team's lineup and was obviously quite satisfied with the trend in the first half."
"Valencia made a substitution, Mista replaced Canobbio."
"It can be seen that Benitez was not satisfied with the performance of the Uruguayan players in the first half. Under the restraint of Bayern Munich's double midfielder, Canobbio did not perform very well in the first half, which was difficult for the forward line.
The support is not strong enough.”
"Now Benitez replaces Mista. If there are no accidents, he should withdraw Sudong."
"This is also a commonly used tactical play in Valencia. Su Dong plays a role similar to the number nine and a half."
Bierhoff analyzed the intentions of the two teams' halftime substitutions and the possible changes.
"Su Dong is indeed a very interesting player. He is 1.95 meters tall and has excellent weight and strength. He can be called a giant on the football field. But what is incredible is that this giant can be like a short player.
Likewise, he has magical footwork, outstanding foot skills, excellent speed and explosive power, and is even better at dribbling breakthroughs and long-distance running."
When Bierhoff introduced Su Dong, his tone was full of exclamation. It was obvious that as a senior, and especially as a fan, he was very optimistic about this European upstart who had recently emerged this season.
"Now, Benitez has withdrawn Su Dong because he wants to keep him away from Bayern Munich's defensive focus, connect the midfield and frontcourt, and at the same time give full play to his ability to penetrate from the back."
"Su Dong has speed and explosive power, and his skills with his feet are also very good. At the same time, his sense of movement is also very keen. This will also be a big problem for Bayern Munich's defense."
"Look, Heathfield looks very nervous!"
…
After seeing Valencia replace Mista, the Bayern coach immediately walked to the sidelines, called center defender Kovac and midfielder Ballack to the sidelines, and gave them careful instructions.
No one knows what Heathfield was telling him, but it must have something to do with Su Dong.
Just after substitutions, Valencia needed to make some tactical adjustments, which allowed Bayern Munich to continue to maintain its advantage in the first half and launch another round of attacks on Valencia's goal.
First, Ze Roberto took the ball from the left and accurately passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area to find Ma Kai. Under Ayala's close guard, Ma Kai still grabbed the first spot and headed the ball towards the goal.
But this time, Canizares reacted quickly and flew to save the ball.
Although they failed to score, the threat created by this attack was still quite great, which made the Bayern fans at the Olympic Stadium very excited. Many people even shouted for the home team to score another goal.
If they win Valencia 2-0 at home, Bayern Munich will almost confirm their right to advance in advance.
Just a minute later, there was another diagonal pass from the full-back. After Valencia made a clearance in the penalty area, Pizarro grabbed the ball at the front of the penalty area and hit it directly with his right foot!
The ball passed through the dense crowd in the penalty area and went straight to the goal at a very fast speed, but unfortunately it missed slightly.
After another minute, Ballack stepped in from the back and hit a heavy shot with his right foot from the top of the penalty area, which again missed the left post.
At the beginning of the second half, Bayern Munich launched a wave of offensive attacks.
Hitzfield clearly knew that playing at home they could not let Valencia dominate the rhythm of the game, so he tried to disrupt Valencia's deployment from the beginning and strive to further expand the score.
At least the lead of this goal must be maintained.
But Valencia's defense is not a fuel-saving lamp.
As the best defensive team in La Liga, Valencia's three head coaches from Ranieri to Cooper to now Benitez have a common characteristic, which is that they attach great importance to defense and the entire defensive system.
It is also passed down all the way.
After gritting their teeth and withstanding Bayern Munich's successive attacks, Valencia could finally breathe a sigh of relief ten minutes into the second half, and Bayern Munich began to slow down its offensive appropriately.
At this time, Valencia's double midfielders began to exert force, trying to control the midfield.
Su Dong also actively cooperated with the double midfielders and kept running to support the surrounding teammates.
Gradually, Valencia's control over the midfield increased.
The midfielder barely controlled the situation, especially Su Dong's retreat, which greatly enhanced Valencia's midfielder ability to get the ball.
In the 58th minute, Su Dong retreated to the attacking midfielder position, used his body to hold Hargreaves, received the pass from Baraja, and smoothly turned to the left, grabbing Hager's pass.
Before Reeves blocked the ball, he passed the ball to the left with his left foot.
Vicente leaned against the left wing and stopped Su Dong's pass forward with his chest. He got ahead of Sagnol and started directly. He used his speed to break through Sagnol on the wing and kicked the ball forward.
Pass to the middle.
In the middle of the penalty area, Mista and Robert Kovac jumped up at the same time to compete for the top, but the Bayern central defender took the lead and swung his head to push Vicente's cross out of the penalty area.
But before the Bayern fans could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw a strong figure sprinting to the front of the penalty area, facing the flying ball, stopping with his chest, and the ball stopped steadily towards the top of the arc.
Su Dong!!!
Bayern Munich's defenders were all frightened, and they all rushed towards Su Dong crazily.
Especially Kufuor, who was the closest, fell to the ground and made a tackle.
But before Kufuor's tackle arrived, Su Dong had already caught up with him. He bent his left foot, nocked an arrow with his right foot, and hit the goal with a heavy shot.
"Su Dong!"
“The ball went in!!!!”
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"
"In the 58th minute, Valencia equalized the score!"
"A powerful volley from the front of the penalty area from Su Dong!"
"Goalkeeper Kahn's prediction of this long shot was not timely enough. Although he made a save, he was unable to stop it."
"Valencia successfully equalized the score, one to one!"
After Su Dong scored, he jumped up excitedly and waved his fist vigorously.
Valencia's players also rushed towards him one by one to celebrate his precious away goal.
"It's unbelievable!"
"Su Dong's performance in this game has always been good. He had a beautiful breakthrough with the ball in the first half, but unfortunately there were no teammates around him to cooperate. Now he used a trademark long-range shot to equalize the score for Valencia.
, it’s really wonderful!”
"Let's take a look at this slow-motion replay. Su Dong retreated to get the ball and then quickly turned around and sprinted."
"He was really fast. Neither Hargreaves nor Demichelis could stop him in time, especially Demichelis. He originally wanted to grab the ball from Kovac's clearance, but he didn't expect it.
Su Dong got there first."
"From retreating to receive the ball to the separation, and then running all the way to the front of the penalty area to equalize the score for the team, Su Dong's performance is really surprising!"
"At the critical moment, Su Dong showed the characteristics that a core player should have!"
"One to one, the current situation is beginning to be a little unfavorable for Bayern Munich."
…………
…………
The purpose of the away goals system in the Champions League is to encourage teams to score more goals and attack more.
After seeing Su Dong equalize the score for Valencia, Hitzfield slapped his forehead hard. He was not surprised by the result, but found it difficult to accept it.
This away goal is terrible!
According to the current situation, if Bayern Munich cannot score again, then they must score an away goal in the next second round to offset Su Dong's goal.
At the Mestana Stadium, it is not easy to break through Valencia's iron wall.
What's more, after learning the lessons from the first round, Benitez will definitely be prepared.
Thinking of this, Heathfield couldn't sit still and immediately called Salihamidzic.
He wants to change someone!
In the 65th minute, Bayern Munich made a substitution, but instead of replacing the midfielder's double midfielders, they replaced veteran Lizarazu, who had a mediocre performance tonight.
Obviously, Heathfield is still not satisfied with the team's attack on the left. He hopes that after Salihamidzic comes on the court, he can replace Lizarazu and launch more attacks on the team's left.
The intention of this substitution was quickly conveyed to the court, and Bayern Munich began to adopt a more active style of play.
After Benitez made the substitution in midfield, he did not make any more substitutions easily. Instead, he actively signaled the team to shrink their defense and take a defensive stance.
Going head-to-head with Bayern Munich at the Olympiastadion is not a wise choice.
Not to mention a team like Valencia, even the top wealthy teams may not have such courage.
Shrink your defense, keep your goal in check, and then slowly wait for the opportunity.
This is undoubtedly the way Valencia is best at playing.
When Valencia shrinks its defense, Bayern Munich's offense can hardly create much of a threat.
On the contrary, in the 76th minute, Valencia, who seemed extremely passive, suddenly stole the ball in midfield.
After Alberda poked the ball away, Baraja quickly passed it to Su Dong.
Su Dong, who caught the ball sideways, accelerated immediately, got rid of Hargreaves, and rushed forward with the ball.
Demichelis rushed over immediately, but before the Argentinian could get close, he saw Su Dong suddenly take a lunge, accelerate suddenly, and rush directly in front of him.
That rampant look is so arrogant and unreasonable!
Even after rushing past Demichelis, he encountered Sagnol and Kufuor. Su Dong, who was dribbling the ball as if he was in no one's land, accelerated directly. Before the two could attack together, Su Dong suddenly
Dribbling the ball between the two.
As soon as the ball passed, he turned out to be like a heavy tank rushing into a busy city, knocking Sagnol and Kufuor away. It was so cruel and unreasonable!
All Bayern fans in the entire stadium were shocked!
When have they ever seen such simple, direct, brutal, yet so shocking football?
Is this kid turning on his violent form?
After knocking away Kufuor and Sagnol, the only people standing in front of Sudong were Kovac, who rushed over to fill the position, and Kahn, who attacked in front of the goal.
Behind Kovac, Mista raised his hand high and asked for the ball.
