546 The center who was dragged down by the central defender
On the weekend of September 29th, in the eighth round of the Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Leverkusen away.
In the first seven rounds, Bayern topped the standings with seven consecutive wins, followed by Leverkusen, who was seven points behind Bayern.
Judging from the start of this season, Bayern has continued to defeat powerful opponents and consolidate its top position.
Now, it's Leverkusen's turn.
The pharmaceutical company formed a 4, 2, 3 formation, clearly aiming to strangle the midfield with Bayern, especially midfielder Vidal from Chile, who has been very active this season and is even more excited to face Bayern.
This is also a characteristic of all Bundesliga players.
Everyone knows that in the Bundesliga, the real giant is Bayern. If you play Bayern, you are likely to be poached directly if you perform well.
The game was played at a fast pace, with the ball changing hands back and forth. Leverkusen obviously did not intend to give Bayern the opportunity to calmly organize and pass the ball, and directly strangled Bayern in the midfield.
Due to an elbow injury, substitute goalkeeper Lensing replaced Kahn this time. He was tested by Kiesling with a long shot from the beginning. Although he did not score, he was frightened into a cold sweat.
Bayern soon changed colors.
Su Dong's long-range shot directly hit the crossbar of the pharmaceutical factory and bounced back.
Adler didn't have a good idea for this long shot, but the crossbar saved him and the pharmaceutical company.
But just two minutes later, Su Dong forced a breakthrough with the ball. He dribbled the ball in a small area, broke away from the entanglement of two Leverkusen defenders, broke into the left side of the penalty area, and kicked the goal from the left side of the small penalty area.
The ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into Leverkusen's goal.
One to zero!
After that, Leverkusen launched a crazy counterattack and even had an advantage on the scene.
Bayern, on the other hand, stayed firmly in the center line and waited for opportunities to counterattack.
In the 40th minute, after stealing the ball in the midfield, Ribery dribbled the ball forward and passed it to the edge of the penalty area. After Su Dong got the ball forward, facing Friedrich, he suddenly accelerated after an emergency stop and passed the ball past him.
He rushed into the penalty area, used his explosive power to get rid of Friedrich, and passed low with his left foot to the right side of the goal.
Klose rushed over and hit the goal easily, 2-0!
After scoring the goal, Klose ran towards Su Dong excitedly and high-fived him to celebrate.
Klose admires his young strike partner more and more.
In fact, it’s hard not to admire him, because he really found that playing with Su Dong not only made it easier for Su Dong to score goals, but it was also easier for him to score goals. At least he didn’t have to face those difficult defenders all the time.
…
Bayern finally defeated Leverkusen 2-0 with Su Dong's pass and shot.
With eight consecutive wins, Bayern set a new record for the best start in Bundesliga history!
Not only that, Bayern continued to win three consecutive games without Robben, which also forced the media who had previously questioned Bayern because of Robben's injury to change their tone.
However, after the game, Bayern revealed that goalkeeper Kahn injured his elbow and will be sidelined for at least five weeks.
First there was Robben, then there was Kahn. Bayern's recent injuries are indeed worrying.
In an interview with the media, Bayern legend Gerd Muller was full of praise for Su Dong's performance this season, believing that he scored 18 goals in eight rounds, which has far exceeded outside expectations.
"I have no doubt that he can break the Bundesliga historical record this season and create a new and unattainable new height. I also think that he deserves any praise and praise."
The Bayern legend said that he had already had such expectations when Su Dong joined.
"We all know that if you want to score more than 40 goals in thirty-four rounds, the most difficult thing is not to perform at a high level in a short period of time, but how to maintain the highest level throughout the long season.
performance while avoiding injuries.”
"Two years ago, Roy Mackay had such an opportunity. He scored six goals in the first three rounds and was in amazing form. However, an injury later put him in trouble.
After recovering from injury, he never regained his original goal-scoring form, which is very regrettable."
But Gerd Muller believes that Su Dong is not Roy Mackay.
"As early as in La Liga, Su Dong has proven that he is a prolific scorer. His goals in the four seasons in La Liga were 35, 37, 52 and 26 respectively.
Among them, he only played 16 rounds last season. If he plays the whole season, I have no doubt that he will set a new La Liga scoring record."
Gerd Muller said that it can be seen from the number of goals in La Liga that Su Dong is a very stable and productive scorer. He knows how to maintain his condition at the highest level during the long season. "
This is very difficult, but it is also the most valuable experience and wealth for a scorer."
Gerd Muller analyzed that Su Dong’s high productivity is because he is an incredible center and he is very comprehensive. “If I had to classify him, I think he is a brand new player in the history of world football.
There has never been a center of his type before him, and it will probably be difficult to find another after him."
As a former star and current Bayern official, Gerd Muller said that he will accompany the team in every game, whether it is home or away. "I hope to see him with my own eyes and break the dust that has lasted for more than 30 years."
record!"
This undoubtedly represents the Bayern star's expectations for Su Dong.
In response, Su Dong made a special trip to find an opportunity to meet with Gerd Muller and have a meal together to express his gratitude to him.
The photo of the two having lunch together was posted on Bayern's official website and appeared in major media reports, making Su Dong once again well received.
…………
…………
It must be said that Gerd Muller's warning is not unreasonable.
After Germany entered September, the temperature began to become colder, especially at the end of the month and October, when the temperature dropped sharply.
As we all know, during high-intensity training and competition in cold climates, the probability of player injuries will increase significantly.
On the Tuesday after playing against Leverkusen, during the training session, Klose waved his hand to indicate that he was not good in the middle of the training.
The team doctor immediately took care of and tested him, and finally concluded that the previous knee injury had recurred, and he was sidelined for three weeks.
The temperature changes rapidly and repeatedly, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is when influenza gathers.
On Wednesday morning, Podolski was also diagnosed with the flu by Wolfart and was forced to suspend training and the game.
When Heynckes received the report from the team medical team, he happened to be having a meeting with the players. Old Man Ebony shook his head speechlessly and raised the team doctor's diagnosis report towards the players with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Look, it's such a long season, but now we have to accept a lot of players being out injured."
Robben, Kahn, Klose, Podolski, Bayern already have four injured patients.
The biggest impact is undoubtedly on the front line.
"Su, we only have you as the center now. If you are also injured, then I really can only ask Lucio to step up and let his forward heart have a good time!"
Heynckes' words made everyone present smile.
Lucio is well known for his love of attacking. Under the influence of Heynckes' carrot and stick, he has performed very well this season, but occasionally he will rush forward, so that everyone says that he is a central defender.
The fate of the forward is in the heart of the forward.
Su Dong didn't mind such a joke, and immediately looked at Lucio with a smile, "If he comes up to play as a forward, I will probably lose my job. I have always felt that he is a center that is dragged down by the central defender!"
Everyone immediately laughed harder.
Lucio himself felt embarrassed and kept waving his hands to indicate that he would no longer advance easily.
"Don't worry, I won't be in trouble for at least two games."
No one believed Lucio's words. He felt that he could only hold back for two games, because this guy was so hot-headed that he would press forward. How could he remember what he had promised?
…
Injuries and illnesses on the front line caused Bayern to be stretched thin in its formation against Olympiacos at home.
Heynckes once again formed a 4-2-3 formation, Su Dong still served as the lone forward, Ribery played on the left, but the right was left to Bastian Schweinsteiger.
After Robben was injured, Bastian Schweinsteiger could only make a cameo appearance in his old profession.
In the midfield, Van Bommel partnered with Modric, Mascherano trailed behind, and Toni Kroos served as a substitute.
Since his stunning debut, Toni Kroos has been given some playing opportunities in every game, and he has not disappointed as he is gradually adapting to the pace and intensity of the Bundesliga.
Olympiakos is not a fuel-saving lamp. They often take advantage of Bayern's repeated injuries to add insult to injury and strive for an upset in the away game. Therefore, they created considerable problems for Bayern from the beginning of the game.
After Bastian Schweinsteiger was moved to the right wing, Van Bommel partnered with Modric, and it was difficult for the midfielder to organize an effective offensive, especially when Modric was restricted.
Van Bommel is very brave, but he still can't do the fine work.
The first half of the game was more than intense, but Bayern's offense was not particularly impressive.
Bayern didn't create its first shot until the 29th minute, but in the 40th minute, Ribery passed the ball straight to the left side of the penalty area. Su Dong moved forward and caught up with the ball in front of the baseline.
With almost no angle, and with the defensive players pressing every step of the way, Su Dong just relied on his body and personal ability to create a kicking opportunity in front of the baseline, shooting from zero angle, and the ball barely missed the post.
Spin into the goal.
One to zero!
After changing sides in the second half, Toni Kroos replaced Mascherano in the 70th minute. Van Bommel became a deep-lying player. Toni Kroos partnered with Modric to form a double midfielder.
This substitution completely activated Bayern's midfield vitality and organized a wave of offensive for Bayern. In the 77th minute, Su Dong got the ball back in the penalty area and assisted Ribery to score a goal.
But unfortunately, Bayern players spent most of the game and were unable to expand the score in the end.
In the end, Bayern defeated visiting Olympiacos 2-0 at home.
Real Madrid drew with Lazio 2-2 away from home.
As a result, Bayern tops the list with two consecutive wins, Lazio ranks second with two consecutive draws, and Real Madrid and Olympiacos both have one draw and one loss.
