In the past few years, in the Bundesliga, the only teams that can truly pose a threat to Bayern are Werder Bremen and Schalke.
Especially Werder Bremen.
Bayern's performance at the Weser Arena is always unsatisfactory.
In the past few years, Bayern has only won one game at the Weser Arena, and that was in the 2004-05 season. Magath led the team to a narrow win over Werder Bremen 2-1 away from home. At that time, Bremen was
It was Klose who scored the goal.
In the remaining nine games, Bayern had five losses and four draws, without winning a single victory.
Therefore, many people say that the game against Werder Bremen will be Bayern's real test in the new season.
Werder Bremen is not only Bayern's top competitor on the road to winning the championship, but also Bayern's nightmare in the past few years.
Every time I come to the Weser Arena, Bayern does not play well, and Werder Bremen fans are not polite to Bayern. Especially this season, after Klose "defected" to Bayern, the two teams have intensified.
antagonism and hatred.
As soon as the two teams entered the stadium, the Bremen fans at the scene burst into deafening boos.
The Bundesliga has a very distinctive feature, that is, the home atmosphere is particularly strong and passionate.
Su Dong actually thinks this is good.
…
After the 4-0 victory over Rostock in the last game, Heynckes held a post-match summary meeting. He affirmed the team's performance, but also pointed out many problems.
Ribery was awarded full marks by the media, but Heynckes criticized him at the summary meeting because Ribery always increases the speed very quickly, which is not good.
"We need to slow down and not deliberately compete with our opponents for possession of the ball. This is true in the Bundesliga and even more true in the Champions League."
"What I mean is that we are not always slow, nor are we greedy for speed, but we must combine speed with slowness and make full use of speed when switching from defense to offense."
"The opponent likes to control the ball, which is a good thing for us. We don't fight with them and let them control it. After grabbing the ball, they suddenly accelerate and counterattack as quickly as possible, destroying the opponent's defense in one fell swoop."
Heynckes also reminded Bastian Schweinsteiger, especially Modric, to pay attention to controlling the rhythm.
When to be fast and when to be slow is controlled by Bayern.
You don’t need to lose the ball, but you can’t lose the rhythm control.
It can be said that after the deliberation and experimentation in the second half of last season and the running-in of pre-season training, Heynckes already has a complete set of tactical ideas, and he begins to know how to use Bayern's current lineup.
of maximum power.
At the same time, he is also considering the Champions League.
There is no doubt that he highly admires La Liga, especially Barcelona's ball-control style, but he does not think that this style of play will work well in the Bundesliga and Bayern. Let Modric play Barcelona's passing and ball-control style, and maybe also
It's okay, but it won't work if Bastian Schweinsteiger, Van Bommel and others try this trick.
So Heynckes' goal has never been to control the ball, but to control the rhythm.
Werder Bremen is famous for its offensive football and ball control ability in the Bundesliga. Bayern does not intend to compete with its opponents in possession of the ball in this game.
But to test how quickly the opponent can switch from offense to defense?
Is it Bayern's shift from defense to attack speed? Or is it Bremen's shift from attack to defense?
In just six minutes, the answer was revealed!
…………
…………
In the sixth minute of the game, after Mascherano stole the ball at the center line against Bayern's half, Modric got the ball on the right side of the center circle, dribbled the ball forward, and instigated a quick counterattack.
Su Dong glanced at the right side. Robben was close to the right sideline and began to meet Modric.
He did not sprint forward immediately or run to the right, but continued to move forward unhurriedly.
Of course, Werder Bremen left back Schultz followed Robben every step of the way, which forced Mertesacker to move to his left side, so that he could help defend Schultz at any time.
In one-on-one situations, Robben can get past Schulz in minutes.
Not only that, Franjes also returned to the defense all the way, intercepting Modric and supporting Schulz at any time.
Defensive midfielder Bowman stood in the middle. Su Dong was on the left side of the middle just now. At this time, he still did not change. He jogged forward in a straight line, attracting Naldo to this side.
As a result, the gap between the two central defenders, Naldo and Mertesacker, was exposed.
According to Bowman and Nardo, they control Su Dong in a corner. As long as they follow Su Dong, the gap in the middle is not a big problem, because Bayern has no other players who can take advantage of this gap.
Not only that, in order to prevent Robben from cutting in from the right, after Modric passed the ball to Robben, Schultz immediately wanted to force Robben to the wing, and Franesh was also on the inside.
Assistance and protection.
Su Dong glanced at Robben from afar, and the Dutch Peter Pan also looked up at him.
Although the two of them were dozens of meters apart, after looking at each other, they both sensed each other's intentions.
Su Dong, who was originally running in a straight line, suddenly accelerated and rushed behind Bowman in a zigzag line, straight into the neutral area between Naldo and Mertesacker.
Almost at the same time, after Robben stopped Modric's pass, he also accelerated and dribbled the ball towards Schultz. When his opponent had no way to retreat and stabbed the ball, Robben deftly turned inside and suddenly cut inside.
Speeding up, he passed Vranesh.
Franjes stood on the outside of the penalty area, with his back to the goal, following Robben who was cutting in laterally, but the ball was always controlled by Robben with his left foot, and he had no way to stop Robben's next pass.
At this moment, Su Dong happened to rush to the top area of the arc, and Robben's left-footed pass just came to Su Dong.
After Su Dong accelerated to catch up, he passed the ball directly into the penalty area without stopping.
The ball changed direction and slid into the penalty area.
Two central defenders, Naldo and Mertesacker, came over at the same time, but Sudong was very fast. After rushing into the penalty area, he controlled the ball first, avoided Naldo, and blocked Mertesacker with his shoulder.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Su Dong’s strong physical confrontation prevented the two central defenders, Nardo and Mertesacker, from taking advantage. Standing in the penalty area, they had
He didn't dare to foul, but after Su Dong controlled the ball, he swung his right foot and suddenly hit a ground ball.
The ball shot from Su Dong's feet and went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Wei Ze was positioned on the right side. After seeing Su Dong take off his foot, he pounced directly to the right, but no matter how long he stretched his hand, he could not reach the ball.
The ball barely missed the left post and hit the side netting.
All of this sounds long, but actually happens in the blink of an eye.
By the time the Werder Bremen fans reacted, Su Dong had already rushed into the penalty area and hit the goal with his right foot.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"In the sixth minute, just six minutes into the game, Su Dong opened the scoring for Bayern!"
"One to zero!"
After Su Dong scored, he raised his arms high in excitement and turned to look at Robben.
The Dutch also rushed over with cheers and hugged Su Dong heavily.
Other Bayern players also ran over one after another, high-fiving or hugging to celebrate Su Dong's goal. Even Kahn in the distance gave Su Dong a thumbs up.
"It's really a wonderful collaboration."
"Bayern's counterattack was very fast. From Mascherano stealing the ball, to Modric advancing, Robben took the ball from the right and cut inside, and then passed it to Su Dong, directly entering the penalty area."
"Werder Bremen's defense seemed very passive and seemed a bit stiff in the face of Bayern's flexible offensive movements."
"We can see from the slow-motion replay that Su Dong's movement was very smart. He deliberately kept a certain distance from Robben and Modric, confusing Werder Bremen's defensive players, especially Bowman.
."
"When Robben got the ball, Su Dong suddenly accelerated and cut diagonally into the gap between the two central defenders. Robben also chose to cut in tacitly and passed the ball to Su Dong's forward line with his left foot."
"The rest was purely a performance of Su Dong's personal strength. Under the attack of two central defenders, Nardo and Mertesacker, he just controlled the ball and shot. This was not easy.
"
"One to zero, Su Dong takes the lead for Bayern!"
…
Bayern's counterattack goal caught Werder Bremen off guard and took the lead.
After the game restarted, Bayern still played steadily, not obsessed with possession of the ball, but focused on controlling the rhythm.
Werder Bremen did not dare to overdo it and began to play more cautiously.
Bayern's midfield stranglehold focuses on the area near the midfield line.
One characteristic of grabbing the ball here is that after the ball is intercepted, it can often be sent directly into the thirty-meter area with just one pass.
Just like this time in the 20th minute, Schweinsteiger successfully intercepted the ball and quickly passed the ball to Ribery.
Ribery dribbled the ball forward diagonally, and when he reached the outside of the penalty area, he sent a beautiful through ball.
Sudong blocked Naldo with his back inside the penalty area, passed Ribery's pass with his right foot, and turned to his right, which is the left side of the court.
Naldo only felt the pressure on his body relax, and before he could react, Su Dong had already wiped him.
This kick was not even stopped, leaving the Brazilian central defender with no temper at all, and he didn't even have time to commit a foul.
After Su Dong got rid of Naldo, he chased after him. He first made a fake move with his right foot to hit the goal. After deceiving Wiese to make a move, he easily pushed the shot to the near corner with his left foot and succeeded.
The ball passed by Wiese and rolled into Werder Bremen's goal again.
Two to zero!
Scored twice!
Su Dong clenched his fists again and celebrated the goal loudly.
Ribery was the first to rush over and celebrate the goal with him.
The French scar-faced man who is only 1.7 meters tall cannot really hold Su Dong, so he can only hold his waist tightly. The huge gap in height makes Ribery look extraordinarily small.
When Messi and Su Dong stood together, he was also very compact, but he had Argentinian-style long hair, which visually made him appear larger, while Ribery not only looked thin, but also had short hair.
As for Mediterranean, who also ran over to celebrate later, although he has no hair, he can't stand up to his height of 1.8 meters.
Maradona is actually right. Robben, who is 1.8 meters tall, and Franck Ribery, who is 1.7 meters tall, have completely different playing styles.
But someone like Su Dong, who is 1.95 meters tall, can still play like this, which is totally unbelievable.
