Heynckes changed into a double center forward in away games and asked Klose to partner Su Dong. The main reason was that he saw Arsenal's defensive weaknesses, especially the lack of high ball defense.
Chelsea once used Drogba to suppress Arsenal's central defender, and Liverpool also used Crouch and Torres to suppress Arsenal's defense. Both achieved quite good results, which allowed Heynckes to see the opportunity.
.
Klose came on the field and took down Modric. This certainly made Bayern's midfielder more passive, but it also made Bayern's striker more offensive. This is completely in line with the team's strategic goal in away games, which is
Aim for away goals.
If we say that in the first ten minutes, Arsenal's opening attack put Bayern at a disadvantage and the players lost some confidence, but with Sudong's goal, Bayern's players gradually regained their confidence.
Klose's main task on the court is to share Sudong's pressure so that he can devote more of his time to offense.
After the German forward gradually entered the state, he ran very actively and performed very actively.
During a quick counterattack when Bayern stole the ball in the backcourt, Bastian Schweinsteiger dribbled the ball straight to the left side of the frontcourt and passed the ball to Ribery. After the French Scarface got the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he forced
After failing to break through Kolo Toure, he made an emergency stop to smash the ball, took a step back, and suddenly made a pass.
Sudong quickly advanced along the middle and saw Ribery's cross. He quickly suppressed Senderos in the penalty area and tried to stop the ball with his chest. Unexpectedly, Klose worked too hard and suddenly rushed forward.
He jumped high and headed for the top, but the ball hit Gallas and bounced out of the penalty area.
When he landed, the German center noticed Su Dong. He immediately knew that he had ruined Su Dong's good deeds and quickly waved his hand to apologize.
He was really out of his mind just now and didn't notice that Su Dong had already secured his position.
Su Dong didn't have time to pay attention and saw the ball falling on the outside of the penalty area. Schweinsteiger stopped the ball with his chest and looked towards the penalty area. Su Dong immediately pointed towards him to the right of the penalty spot.
Schweinsteiger stopped the ball and passed it directly to the right side of the penalty spot.
Su Dong quickly ran over, got ahead of Senderos, and stopped the ball with his foot.
The Swiss central defender was originally blocked by Su Dong. When he saw the ball passing towards his defense zone, he immediately wanted to grab it. However, he did not expect that Su Dong, who is tall and has long legs, beat him one step ahead and stopped the ball.
After Senderos saw Su Dong stop the ball, he immediately blocked it, but Su Dong stopped the ball with his right foot and immediately took the ball a small step to the right, but Sylvester immediately rushed over to block it.
Su Dong reacted quickly, suddenly spiked the ball to the left with his right foot, and turned around.
Senderos clearly saw Su Dong spiking the ball and turned around. He immediately got close to him and tried to grab the ball, but Su Dong violently knocked him away with his shoulder. The Swiss central defender involuntarily stepped back a little.
step.
With the space created by this small step, Su Dong quickly took a step to the left and kicked a curve ball with his left foot straight to the left side of the goal.
Almunia has been changing his position according to the position of the ball. When Su Dong rushed to the right side of the goal to receive the ball, his entire position was on the right side, but Su Dong suddenly spiked the ball to the left.
He also kicked a curve ball with his left foot, which made Almunia unable to do anything even though he tried his best to dive sideways.
The ball almost touched the inside of the left post and went straight into the goal.
Two to one!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the 37th minute, Su Dong scored another victory for Bayern, two to one!"
"Bayern reversed Arsenal's away game!"
After Su Dong scored, he clenched his fists and cheered.
Senderos stood behind Su Dong, panting like an ox and bending over, looking at Su Dong in disbelief.
Su Dong is taller than him, but much more flexible than him.
In front of Su Dong, whether it was physical strength, speed and explosive power, or technique and flexibility with his feet, Senderos was completely defeated.
It was a more desperate frustration than when facing Drogba.
Senderos even felt a sense of fear in his heart. He was afraid that his defense zone would be completely destroyed by Su Dong.
If this is the case, then the main position he has worked so hard to obtain will be completely gone.
This fear made him tremble.
…
"Senderos has been completely kicked out of his confidence."
Arsenal assistant coach Patrice shook his head to remind Wenger.
Senderos is undoubtedly a young central defender with considerable potential. His physical condition and various technical indicators are very promising, and he even has a lot of blood in his body. However, in the face of Su Dong's repeated ravages and devastation, he seemed to
Losing confidence.
There is also Chelsea's Drogba, who is also Su Dong's accomplice.
How could a good central defender be tortured like this? How could it be so embarrassing?
Wenger was also very helpless and sighed softly.
Although he didn't want to accept it, he had to admit that Senderos was the biggest hidden danger in Arsenal's defense today. Sudong's two goals came from this point.
It can even be expected that Bayern will continue to make a fuss around this point.
If Arsenal lose, it would be unfair to put all the problems on Senderos, but the Swiss center back is definitely one of the main reasons.
Especially his weakness when facing Su Dong.
"Let Gilberto Silva prepare, let him play in the second half, and we will defend!" Wenger decided to cut off the strong man's wrist.
Damn, I can't mess with you, can't I hide from you?
Just when Wenger decided to make substitutions at halftime, another incident occurred on the court.
…
Fabregas made a long pass and tried to move to the left to Hleb.
The Belarusian player has a very wide range of movement and even often runs to the right. At this time, he took a breather on the left and reacted a little slowly. Lahm quickly grabbed the ball and headed the ball directly to the midfield.
Mascherano got ahead of Diaby and took the ball to the right.
Robben was outside Arsenal's 30-meter zone with his back to the direction of attack. After seeing Mascherano's pass, he stepped forward with his left foot and sent the ball to the front. He turned around and headed towards the goal as quickly as possible.
Sprint forward.
Su Dong was on the outside of the penalty area and used his body to hold Senderos behind him.
The Swiss central defender made no moves at all behind Su Dong. He only dared to block him and prevent him from turning around easily.
But when Su Dong stopped the ball, Robben quickly rushed past him, and Sylvester followed Robben closely.
Su Dong had no chance to pass the ball. After seeing Robben pass, he quickly turned around and dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area.
On the right side of the Arsenal penalty area, Su Dong successfully turned around and took the ball directly to face Senderos.
In the penalty area, Robben originally inserted diagonally to the edge of the small penalty area, but when he saw Su Dong pulling away, he immediately retreated, paying attention to not being offside, sending a signal to Su Dong.
Su Dong took the ball and faced Senderos. He saw the nervousness of the Swiss central defender, but he did not give the opponent too much time to think. As soon as he turned around and glanced at Robben, Su Dong suddenly paused, and then
Then he started as fast as possible and rushed towards the baseline with the ball.
After a sudden stop, Sudong suddenly started to move away from Senderos, and passed the low ball with his right foot to the edge of the small penalty area.
Robben moved forward as quickly as possible, pushed the ball with his left foot from the front of the small penalty area, and sent the ball into the lower right corner.
Almunia can do nothing!
Three to one!
After Robben scored, everyone jumped up with excitement and rushed towards Su Dong to celebrate with him on the sidelines.
Senderos stared at Su Dong who was celebrating with dumbfounded eyes, feeling even more worried in his heart.
He doesn't know if he won't be able to stop him the next time he confronts her.
…………
…………
The first half ended with 1 to 3.
International practice is that the home team goes first and the visiting team goes last.
No one expected that Arsenal, playing at home, would concede three goals in a row in the first half. This really surprised everyone. You know, before this game, the Gunners were undefeated in the Premier League for ten rounds.
Performed very well.
But after watching the first half, everyone will fall into deep doubts.
Is Arsenal too weak? Or is Bayern too strong?
No one knows the answer.
But Wenger made substitution adjustments at halftime, and Gilberto Silva replaced Senderos.
This substitution was seen as evidence of Wenger's complete disappointment with the Swiss centre-back. Eboue was withdrawn to the back line, Diaby was moved to the right wing, and Kolo Toure returned to the center to join the forward.
Russ partner.
Although the 4-5-1 tactics were still used, the loss of Senderos, a high school defender, still had a huge impact on Arsenal. The Gunners obviously paid more attention to defense in the second half.
In the 70th minute of the second half, after Su Dong received a cross from Marcelo from the left, he headed the ball from the front of the penalty area to the back point. Klose quickly moved and hit the goal with a close header without any defense.
, another victory for Bayern.
Arsenal then replaced Walcott.
It was this outstanding little tiger who quickly hit behind Marcelo on the right wing. With a quick and sharp counterattack, he penetrated Bayern's defense and sent the ball into the penalty area. Adebayor easily hit the shot.
Two to four!
After that, both teams got another chance, but failed to seize it.
Bayern finally defeated Arsenal 4-2 in the away game with Su Dong's two passes and two shots, and won the away victory in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round of 16.
…
After the game, Bayern players celebrated wildly at the Emirates Stadium.
Especially when we arrived in the locker room, everyone was excited and cheering crazily.
Everyone knows that the away game was 4-2 and four goals were scored. This is simply the rhythm of advancing ahead of schedule.
Although Heynckes, Kahn and others are constantly warning players to be cautious and not blindly rely on big money, everyone knows that being reversed by Arsenal is a small probability event.
In Schweinsteiger's words, "This is the first time that I really feel that we really have the strength to win the Champions League. This should be the so-called championship look!"
Everyone agreed.
Before, everyone had enough confidence in the team's strength, but they didn't know how strong it was.
But tonight, at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal reversed 4-2, making everyone full of confidence.
