There was a drizzle in the sky, and the air was as humid as if it had just emerged from a washing tub, which was very uncomfortable.
The entire Bayern team was sitting in the team bus heading to the Emirates Stadium.
Su Dong sat by the window, looking out at the hazy London street scene. The drizzle was like fog, adding a poetic beauty to this international city known as the Fog City.
The Emirates Stadium is located in the north of London. The closer it is, the more fans gather around it.
Both sides of the road were crowded with fans wearing Arsenal jerseys. Most of the fans waved excitedly when they saw Bayern, and some even shouted Su Dong's name, but a small number also attacked the away team.
All away games are the same, and the quality of the fans varies.
The police car opened the way in front, and finally opened a road for Bayern to the Emirates Stadium.
Arriving at the players' tunnel, Bayern players stepped off the bus one after another, took a look at the fans outside who were pouring into the stadium, went straight into the players' tunnel, and went straight to the visiting team's locker room.
…
This rainy weather in London is really uncomfortable.
As soon as I walked out of the tunnel, I was soaked to the skin and the jersey stuck to my body, making me very uncomfortable.
In contrast, players in the Premier League should be more adaptable. After all, they spend a lot of the year fighting in the rain.
After Henry and Vieira left the team, there are currently no big-name superstars in Arsenal. Cesc Fabregas is relatively popular, but he is also a talented midfielder who has just become famous. He is at best a leader among young players and is still far from a first-tier superstar.
There is a slight difference.
One of the more interesting things is that after Henry moved to Barcelona, the Gunners captain's armband was worn on the arm of Gallas. The French central defender only transferred from Chelsea in 2006.
Gallas is the third consecutive French player to captain Arsenal, following Vieira and Henry.
This doesn't mean anything, it's just weird. After all, Galas is a new arrival.
Su Dong saw Senderos in the Arsenal training crowd, which surprised him.
Today's top players don't have many familiar faces, but the Swiss central defender made Su Dong feel familiar and impressed him deeply.
But when he gets to the court later, Su Dong won't be polite to him either.
…
The Gunners faced Bayern at home and did not dare to be careless.
Wenger formed a four-and-five formation.
The goalkeeper is Almunia, the defense is Silvestre, Gallas, Senderos and Kolo Toure, and the midfielder is Hleb, Diaby, Fabregas and Flami.
Ni and Eboue, the lone forward is Adebayor.
Obviously, Wenger played with five midfielders to compete with Bayern for control of the midfield.
Heynckes made adjustments and took Modric, who performed well in the league in the previous round, with Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mascherano as a double midfielder, Ribery and Robben.
Separated on the wings, Sudong and Klose form a double forward, the defense is a combination of Marcelo, Pepe, Lucio and Lahm, and the goalkeeper is Kahn.
Bayern is playing away from home, and purely in terms of ball control ability, it is still slightly inferior to Arsenal.
You know, the Gunners' ball control ability is comparable to that of Barcelona. Although they have lost famous players such as Pires, the passing and control system created by Wenger for Arsenal is still one of the best in Europe and is quite impressive.
Because of this, Heynckes formulated a strategy for this game before the game, which was to defend and counterattack.
Bayern will not compete with Arsenal for possession of the ball, but will focus on strangulating the midfield, grabbing the ball and launching a quick counterattack, using the advantages of Sudong and Klose as double centers to suppress Arsenal's central defender and provide support for the frontcourt.
Create opportunities.
It can be said that Heynckes is also making a huge gamble.
Playing Arsenal away from home, Bayern still wants to score goals.
…
From the beginning of the game, Arsenal took advantage of Bayern's defensive weakness on the left and kept attacking.
Only two minutes into the game, Eboue picked up the ball on the right side of his own penalty area and drove the ball all the way into Bayern's half. He passed the ball past Bastian Schweinsteiger and crossed the ball.
Pass to the center to Hleb.
Hleb then passed the ball to Fabregas, and the Spanish teenager sent a through ball into the penalty area.
Bayern goalkeeper Kahn reacted quickly, abandoned the goal decisively, grabbed the ball before Adebayor, and resolved a crisis.
Although Arsenal failed to score in this counterattack, it still shocked Bayern into a cold sweat.
Subsequently, Arsenal counterattacked twice in a row, both trying to open a channel from Bayern's left.
Marcelo's reputation for being strong in offense and weak in defense has made him the key offensive direction for major European teams when they encounter Bayern.
Heynckes was also prepared for this, so Bayern's left wing looked dangerous, but it was never breached.
Until the eleventh minute, Arsenal once again passed the ball into the Bayern penalty area. Goalkeeper Kahn got ahead of Adebayor and blocked the ball. Bastian Schweinsteiger made a big clearance, but the ball disappeared.
From far away, Flamini stopped the ball in his chest and then passed it to his right rib.
Hleb and Cesc Fabregas played a one-two on Bayern's left side. Diaby suddenly stepped in, got the ball and fired a furious shot from the right side of the penalty area, breaking Bayern's goal.
Opening the scoring for Arsenal.
One to zero!
…
As the first scorer, Arsenal players played extremely vigorously, especially Diaby.
This tall midfielder has excellent skills and running ability, which makes him quite threatening on the court.
After taking the lead, Arsenal broke into Bayern's penalty area three times in a row, and the offense was organized very well.
The Gunners' offense was very smooth, and the players' continuous one-touch coordination was even more tacit, which made Bayern's defense very difficult. It fell into a passive situation on the scene and was never able to come up with an effective containment plan.
Heynckes was also looking anxiously on the sidelines. He even began to doubt whether his tactic of changing to 442 was correct?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If Modric is here, there will be one more player in Bayern's midfield, and the Croatian midfielder's defensive ability is also good.
But now, the midfield is obviously thin and unable to hold the ball.
But on the court, Bayern is still struggling to support itself.
Klose actively retreated to defend the midfield, and Ribery and Robben also continued to retreat. The two players were not willing to defend, but they also actively maintained their formation so as not to be scattered by Arsenal.
In the 26th minute, when Bayern's situation was in danger, the team stole the ball in the backcourt and quickly cleared the ball into the frontcourt.
Su Dong pulled the ball to the left of the center circle. After firmly blocking the position, he stopped the ball with his chest and turned around to dribble the ball to the left sideline.
Galas and Senderos were chasing after them all the way, but Sudong dribbled the ball very quickly and took the ball directly to the left side of the Arsenal penalty area, and the whole team was surrounded.
As a last resort, Su Dong kicked the ball into Galas's leg and it went out of bounds, turning it into a foul ball.
Marcelo quickly ran forward, mainly to serve a throw-in, but was stopped by Su Dong.
"Wait until I enter the penalty area before you open the ball. You and Frank will cooperate and find a way to pass the ball over my head." Su Dong told Marcelo in German.
The Brazilian left back immediately put away the football in his hand and waited until Ribery came forward before telling Su Dong's arrangement.
The French scarface came to Marcelo's vicinity.
The two had a tacit understanding. Before Ribery could come over, Marcelo quickly threw the ball to Ribery and quickly rushed into the field. Ribery faced to the left, stopped the ball, and passed it back.
Gave it to Marcelo.
Marcelo stopped the ball close to the left sideline and was marked by Eboue.
The Brazilian left back's footwork is very delicate. After stopping the ball, he directly kicked the ball in mid-air, passed the ball to Ribery, and quickly penetrated behind Eboue.
Ribery understood the idea and directly passed the ball to Marcelo.
The Brazilian left back caught up with Ribery's pass on the left side of the penalty area and passed directly with his left foot without waiting for Kolo Toure to rush over.
In the penalty area, Su Dong has been preparing for a long time.
He believes that Ribery and Marcelo will be able to penetrate Arsenal's defense and pass the ball over.
After seeing the two play one-on-one, when Marcelo made a pass from the left, he first rushed forward, as if he was rushing towards the goal to fight for the top. But just after starting, he suddenly stopped and the whole
The man ran back two steps to the outside and jumped up high.
Su Dong's forward rush just now caused Gallas who was blocking him to also rush forward. However, the French central defender's attention fell on Marcelo's pass in front and ignored Su Dong's forward rush behind him.
He suddenly stopped and ran back.
Senderos paid close attention to Su Dong and ran back, but Su Dong just took two steps and immediately took off.
This surprised the Swiss central defender. Before he could react immediately, Su Dong had already jumped to the highest point.
Marcelo's pass also reached Su Dong just in time. He shook his head with a lion's head and pushed the ball to the back point. The ball went straight to the upper right corner of Arsenal's goal.
Sylvester stood behind the goal and jumped up quickly, trying to block the ball. However, Su Dong's header was very accurate and hit the inside of the post in the upper right corner of the goal.
Once inside the goal line, Sylvester couldn't stop him.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"In the 26th minute, Su Dong scored a goal for Bayern!"
"One to one! Bayern successfully equalized the score!"
After Su Dong landed, he ignored the stunned Senderos behind him who did not take off. He rushed straight to the sidelines and ran all the way to the sidelines to celebrate.
Ribery, Marcelo, Robben and other Bayern players on the right all rushed towards Su Dong.
Bayern's players finally hugged each other in the corner kick area, celebrating this golden away goal with Su Dong.
One to one, Bayern equalized the score and also sounded the clarion call for counterattack.
"Their defense has a big problem, especially that Senderos. I am very confident about dealing with him. You try to create opportunities for me. Let's try to score one more away goal." Su Dong suggested with confidence.
The teammates around him also applauded, and Klose even said that he could cover for Su Dong and play for him.
Ribery and Robben attracted defensive attention on the wings, planned the attack, and moved the ball into the penalty area. Sudong also had Klose assisting him, and now he was more confident.
Only the unlucky Senderos didn't realize that his disaster was coming, and was still immersed in the mistake he just made.
