Real Madrid faced Bayern. This duel between mortal enemies, coupled with Sudong's situation, made the Bernabeu Stadium full on the night of September 18th. 80,000 Real Madrid fans entered the stadium to cheer for Real Madrid.
Although it was an away game, Bayern still performed very bravely and showed no timidity.
As soon as the game started, Bayern dared to press forward.
Su Dong kicked the first shot of the game. It was less than two minutes before the start. He used a sudden shot from the outside of the penalty area and missed it slightly, but it still made Casillas break out in a cold sweat.
The 80,000 Real Madrid fans present were frightened.
This kid is a thorn in the side wherever he goes!
Schuster was very nervous. The Bayern player he was most worried about tonight was Su Dong, so he kept telling the players to stay steady, especially to control Su Dong.
Metzelder and Cannavaro are the focus of monitoring Sudong, and naturally they also attract Schuster's attention.
After Bayern took the lead, Real Madrid quickly reacted and quickly launched an offensive.
Since Schuster took charge, there has been a very obvious change in Real Madrid's offense, which is the increase in ground penetration and cooperation.
Especially in the frontcourt, the triangle connection between Raul, Guti and Ruud van Nistelrooy has become a very important means of Real Madrid's offense. Raul and Van Nistelrooy's large-scale running in the front has also provided Real Madrid with
The midfield ball provides more routes.
In the 12th minute, Real Madrid passed into the penalty area again. Sneijder got a chance to shoot from outside the penalty area, but failed to pose a threat.
But soon, Real Madrid created an opportunity.
A direct pass from Guti, Ruud van Nistelrooy inserted into the left side of the penalty area and passed to the middle.
The ball passed Lucio and went straight to the back. Raul quickly stepped in, but at the critical moment, Pepe was firmly stuck in his position and headed the ball to clear the ball, defusing Real Madrid's most threatening attack since the start.
This attack also sounded the clarion call for Real Madrid, and also made the Real Madrid fans at the scene excited to watch.
The entire Bernabeu Stadium was cheering for the Real Madrid players, especially Raul.
This is Real Madrid's 300th Champions League game. As the leader of the team, fans naturally hope that Raul can score and open the door to victory for Real Madrid, while also giving a good start to the new Champions League season.
…
Su Dong stood near the center line.
He looked towards his own half and saw Pepe clearing the ball.
Bastian Schweinsteiger got the ball, but Real Madrid quickly counterattacked on the spot, and Xiaozhu immediately divided the ball.
After one season under Capello, Real Madrid has seen an obvious change, which is that the players' defensive enthusiasm has increased.
The most obvious ones are Raul and Van Nistelrooy, who have a wide range of activities.
But Bayern is not a fuel-efficient lamp. After continuous passes, Real Madrid's counterattack failed to show its effect.
After Marcelo got the ball on the left, he quickly moved forward.
Seeing this scene, Su Dong quickly stepped forward, ready to move forward at any time.
Real Madrid's defense was retreating rapidly, especially Metzelder and Cannavaro, both of whom followed Su Dong at every step.
Marcelo dribbled the ball from the left through the center line and passed it to Ribery.
The French winger got the ball and walked directly to the center, hoping to attack Real Madrid's defensive midfielder with the ball.
Gago served as the single defensive midfielder. He had some difficulty dealing with Ribery, forcing Ramos to step forward to defend. This was equivalent to giving up the right wing.
After Ribery attracted attention, he distributed the ball to the left.
Marcelo stepped in from the side, took great strides to catch up with Ribery's pass, and went directly to the left side of the penalty area.
Ramos was well prepared and reacted very quickly, but Marcelo still seized the opportunity and passed the ball into the penalty area with his left foot.
Su Dong originally slowed down and waited at the top of the penalty area. After seeing Ribery passing the ball to Marcelo, he was already ready. When he saw Marcelo passing the ball again, he quickly moved forward.
Despite Su Dong's height and long legs, when he suddenly thrust forward, Cannavaro, who had his back turned to him, was left behind by him. Only Metzelder was facing him, reacting quickly and quickly followed up.
.
But after passing the penalty spot, Su Dong took the first step.
The ball landed in front of the small penalty area. Su Dong stepped out just in time to shoot. His right foot happened to be on Marcelo's cross, causing the ball to turn in one direction and go straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
.
Casillas flew to save the ball, but no matter how quick his reaction was, he could not block the shot that was so close.
One to zero!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"In the 16th minute, 16 minutes into the game, Su Dong opened the scoring for Bayern!"
After Su Dong scored, he got up from the ground, rushed to the sideline quickly, ran all the way, and finally stopped in the corner kick area, cheering, celebrating his achievement in the Champions League again after more than half a year.
ball.
At this moment, the 80,000 fans at the Bernabeu have not yet recovered from the shock, and everyone is still confused.
Bayern's players were the first to react, especially Marcelo. He was the first to rush towards Su Dong, jumped directly on his back, and kept waving his arms towards the Real Madrid fans in the stands.
"A quick counterattack from Bayern Munich, very quick."
"Marcelo and Ribery cooperated very well on the left. They pulled Ramos out of his position, and then let Marcelo pass forward, assisting Su Dong to shoot in front of the goal, opening the scoring for Bayern."
"It should be said that this goal is very characteristic of Bayern's offense this season, and the two wings are very active."
…………
…………
After Bayern opened the scoring, Real Madrid launched a crazy counterattack.
In just five minutes that followed, Higuain created two consecutive crossing opportunities on the right. Ruud van Nistelrooy grabbed the landing point, but once he hit the side net, the other time was destroyed by Lucio, directly passing the ball.
The ball blocked the baseline.
Not long after, Raul planned an attack with the ball and passed it to Higuain. When the Argentine teenager pushed the ball into the far corner, it went slightly wide.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Later, Raul got a chance himself. A low pass from the left gave him a chance to kick in the penalty area, but he failed to make it.
With such strength, Kahn hugged him easily.
Real Madrid's fierce offensive was quite threatening, showing the offensive strength that Schuster has trained this season. However, Bayern's defense is also very well organized, especially the three midfielders and the defense.
It is to actively invest in defense.
When Modric cooperated with Lahm, he successfully stole the ball and quickly passed it to Robben.
After the Dutchman got the ball on the right, he dribbled straight towards Heinze.
To say that both of them played in the Premier League before, Robben was at Chelsea and Heinze was at Manchester United, they have competed against each other.
But this time, after Robben got the ball, he rushed directly towards Heinze.
The Argentine left back was also facing a formidable enemy and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
But even so, as soon as the two of them came into contact, Robben made a fake move and cut inside. He directly got rid of Heinze, cut inside with the ball and went straight to Real Madrid's defense.
Gago's problem was exposed when he faced Ribery when he scored Bayern's goal just now, and it is even more obvious this time, that is, he cannot guard against attackers like Ribery and Robben.
.
When Robben cut inside and headed straight for the defense line, Gago was unable to stop him. Metzelder had to abandon the defense line and directly attack. It looked like Ramos gave up the wing defense just now.
Robben decisively passed the ball into the penalty area and behind Metzelder.
Su Dong inserted diagonally into position, stopped the ball, and volleyed!
The ball entered Real Madrid's goal again.
Two to zero!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
“Another brace!”
"God, Su Dong is simply unstoppable this season!"
"Real Madrid's defense completely exposed its loopholes in the face of Bayern's powerful attack and sharp counterattack."
Facts have proved that Heynckes's judgment was correct. Real Madrid's midfielder simply did not have enough defensive capabilities just relying on Gago, and could only be exposed to the opponent's offensive firepower again and again.
This is why Real Madrid faced Atletico Madrid, Villarreal and Almeria, and their opponents created more than 20 shots, and Bayern's offensive firepower is even worse than these players.
After Su Dong scored, he started running all the way to celebrate, but his mind was full of thinking about another problem.
Does Schuster know about Real Madrid's defensive problems?
The answer is obvious, he must know.
European teams will buy all kinds of analytical data, and Real Madrid is no exception. They even have their own dedicated analysis team, so it is impossible not to know their own defensive problems.
So why did Schuster still adopt Gago's single defensive midfielder style when facing Bayern at home?
I'm afraid that in addition to the environment and pressure given to him by Real Madrid, he is also taking a gamble himself.
If the bet wins, he will gain fame and fortune and continue his outstanding performance in the first three rounds. If the bet fails, he can legitimately take the opportunity to adjust the team's tactics.
Real Madrid is really interesting.
They not only want to win, they also want to win beautifully.
So back then, even though Heynckes led Real Madrid to win the Champions League, he was still fired.
There are also Hiddink and Capello. Their results were actually good during the two coaching times, but because the team did not play well, Real Madrid could not accept their football.
From the moment he took office, Schuster was destined to adopt a more aggressive tactical style with greater risks.
Especially in the Champions League, facing a strong team like Bayern, can Real Madrid's weak defense survive?
There is no way around it. Although coaching Real Madrid is famous and makes you famous in one fell swoop, the performance pressure and burden it brings are also quite staggering and not something that ordinary people can easily bear.
…
Facts also proved that even though he was two goals behind, Schuster still had no intention of defending.
After the restart, Real Madrid was still looking for offensive opportunities.
Schuster didn't seem to mind conceding a few goals behind him at all, he just wanted to score goals in front.
But everyone knows that Bayern's two goals early in the first half and Su Dong's brace have completely revealed the illusion of Real Madrid's wonderful performance this season and told everyone that Real Madrid's defense is still weak.
Of course, the premise is that the opponent has a strong enough defense to block Real Madrid's sharp attack, and at the same time relies on strong offensive power to penetrate Real Madrid's goal.
How many teams with such strength are there in European football and La Liga?
