When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, everyone at Bayern breathed a sigh of relief.
Bayern really needs to take a breather now.
Especially Lensing.
Tonight, the performance of the little Lion King was so impressive that Lucio, Pepe and others were particularly dissatisfied with him.
But when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, everyone walked back to the locker room. Su Dong, Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Lucio and Pepe all leaned over to encourage him.
, I hope he can adjust his mood and keep working hard.
Lensing's problem is not actually his ability, but his psychological quality.
Su Dong is optimistic about Neuer, focusing on two points, better physical and mental qualities.
Lensing's performance tonight has indeed completely overturned Bayern's impression of him, because before, whether it was before Kahn retired or in the previous games this season, Lensing's performance was still acceptable.
So why is it like this tonight?
Why hit with fists when you can pounce?
It is very complicated to analyze carefully. To put it simply, it means that I am not confident enough in myself and my technical movements are out of shape.
The situation on the court changes rapidly, and players must make decisions in an instant. Lensing appeared hesitant many times in the first half, not decisive enough, and lacked confidence when making saves. He was worried about gains and losses, and his technical movements were out of shape.
This is not a problem specific to goalkeepers, but a common problem in every position and even in all high-pressure industries.
To put it bluntly, he is a young man of twenty-four years old.
"It's okay, we can win. Don't put so much pressure on yourself and relax." Su Dong encouraged.
Lensing took a deep breath and nodded, but his expression was still very serious and nervous.
In the past, there was Kahn as a big tree to protect him from the wind and rain, and Rensing was a substitute beside him. He was also a young player, so everyone was more tolerant of him. But now that Kahn has retired, Rensing has to take charge of his own business, especially when he has to face
The competition from Neuer immediately exposed Lensing's unconfident side.
Does that mean that without Neuer, Lensing would not have problems?
wrong!
Problems that should arise will occur sooner or later.
Another point is that Lensing is too honest.
Playing football, especially the goalkeeper position, is too honest. You have to be a little wilder and be able to let go.
The forwards have partners on the front line, the midfielders have partners, and the defense has partners, but only the goalkeeper stands alone in front of the goal.
Many times, they have to make major decisions alone, which puts them under a pressure that outsiders cannot imagine, and they even feel like they are working alone.
An honest person is popular in the locker room, but on the court, he suffers a lot!
…
Heynckes stopped Su Dong in the tunnel.
He hoped that Su Dong could work harder in the second half and strive for another goal.
"We must win this game!" Heynckes said, staring at Su Dong.
The game must be won, but according to Heynckes, he does not intend to replace Lensing during the halftime break.
This is not difficult to understand.
Many fans will look at the game from a rational perspective, analyze the problem from a purely technical and tactical perspective, and think who should be replaced. Yes, this in itself is not wrong.
But they ignored one issue, that is, when a head coach leads a team, the top priority is never skills and tactics, but management. To a certain extent, coaching a wealthy team and managing the locker room is more important than skills and tactics.
Everyone can see that there is indeed something wrong with Lensing's confidence. Now the replacement is to stop the loss in time. Neuer will sit on the bench and let him come on. Isn't it nice?
But if you look at it from a management perspective, the problem is not that simple.
Lensing has good popularity among the management and the locker room. He is an honest kid. He has been a substitute at Bayern for many years and has senior qualifications. In the past few years, he has been trained as Kahn's successor. If
Because he lost control in the first half, he was replaced directly at halftime. What is the cost?
Many people may not realize that replacing Lensing at this time is tantamount to pronouncing Lensing's death sentence.
Let me ask, who doesn’t make mistakes? Who doesn’t make mistakes?
It can be said that in this game, Lensing played too hard and gradually lost his position. It is a high probability event. As long as Neuer performs stably, there is no suspense about taking the main position. But the problem is, it cannot be tonight, it cannot be the midfielder.
Rest, otherwise, it will chill the hearts of many people in the locker room.
The player's heart is chilled, and if he wants to get it back, it's not that easy.
This is why, in many cases, changing coaches can solve problems.
Many fans will find it strange that the problem is obviously there. Everyone can see it. Can’t the head coach see it? Can’t the management see it? If they can’t see it, then why change a head coach, or even a bad head coach?
Can you see it?
It's not that they can't see it, it's that they can't make that decision and have no way to solve the problem.
This belongs to the category of management.
Su Dong understands Heynckes, and Bayern also has such confidence. Even if they lose tonight, it won't be a big deal.
"Don't worry, I will try to score again in the second half." Su Dong nodded in agreement.
Heynckes nodded gratefully and soon sighed again, "Are you good at prophecy?"
"What prophecy?"
"As for the last bet, didn't you say that Neuer would be the main player within five rounds?"
It's really amazing to say that this is nothing more and nothing less, and now it happens to be the fifth round.
Judging from the current situation, Neuer is really ahead of Lensing.
Su Dong couldn't laugh or cry, he felt like he suddenly became a magic stick?
Thinking of this, Su Dong shook his head, patted Heynckes on the shoulder, and walked straight into the players' tunnel.
This old man is quite cute!
Heynckes was stunned for a while, feeling that Su Dong was too mysterious.

After changing sides in the second half, everyone was surprised to find that Bayern did not make any substitutions.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lensing is still on the roster.
At the beginning of the second half, Bayern took the lead in launching an offensive.
In the 51st minute, Marcelo dribbled the ball across the center line from the left wing and tried unsuccessfully to instigate an attack. He immediately passed the ball to Bastian Schweinsteiger, allowing the Bayern midfielder to reorganize.
Bastian Schweinsteiger passed the ball to Modric. After stopping the ball, the Croatian quickly moved forward and suddenly sent a precise through ball.
The ball passed between Bremen's left back and Nardo and rolled directly to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area.
Robben sprinted forward at great speed, caught up with the ball in front of the baseline, glanced at the penalty area, and made a half-high pass with his right foot.
In the penalty area, Su Dong quickly stepped in, got ahead of Mertesacker at the front of the small penalty area, pushed the ball, and sent the ball from goalkeeper Wiese into the Bremen goal again.
Three to two!
Scored twice!
In an instant, the entire Allianz Arena erupted into thunderous cheers again.
All Bayern fans breathed a sigh of relief, but they still felt that it was not stable enough and kept encouraging the players to keep trying.
…
With just over six minutes left before the goal, Bayern continued to exert offensive pressure on Bremen.
In a long pass from the left and right sides of the 30-meter area, Bastian Schweinsteiger moved the left side of the court to the right. After Lahm got the ball, he passed it directly to Robben.
Robben dribbled the ball on the right side of the penalty area, tried to cut inside, was double-teamed by the defensive players, and passed the ball back to Modric.
When the Croatian midfielder stopped the ball, he suddenly made an overhead pass and transferred the ball to the left side of Bremen's penalty area.
At some point, Su Dong ran into an unguarded space, faced Modric's pass, his chest stopped, and before the ball hit the ground, he volleyed with his right foot.
The ball was once again blasted into Bremen's goal by Su Dong!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"hat trick!!"
"Su Dong scored another hat trick!"
"Bayern played a wonderful offensive battle with Werder Bremen tonight. Neither team was conservative at all. The game was very unrestrained, which gave Su Dong more room to play."
"He has scored a hat-trick so far and also assisted Robben in scoring."
"Four to two, Bayern expanded the score again."
…
The score of four to two seemed to have settled the game.
But just when everyone thought that Bayern was sure of victory, Bremen got a free kick opportunity on the left side of the penalty area. This was a foul from Lucio.
Logically speaking, this is not a dangerous area.
Unexpectedly, when Diego sent the ball into the penalty area, Lensing abandoned the goal again, pounced on the spot where the ball landed, and swung his right fist high, trying to hit the ball directly with his fist.
Indeed, Rensing hit the ball, but the ball he hit with his fist was hit by the opponent's player. The ball did not fly far and fell directly into the penalty area. Rosenberry easily pushed the ball and succeeded in the empty goal.
Three to four!
The entire Allianz Arena let out a helpless sigh.
What are these operations?
…
After pulling back a goal, Werder Bremen took the opportunity to launch a wave of attacks against Bayern, trying to equalize the score again.
But Bayern also seized a chance to counterattack in the 81st minute.
Pepe sent a long pass. Su Dong turned his back to the direction of the attack. After stopping the ball, he turned around and got rid of it. He drove the ball straight in, pulling all the defensive players around him, and then suddenly passed the ball to Ouyang on the left rib.
Leach.
The Croatian forward caught up with Sudong's pass at the front of the small penalty area and easily succeeded in pushing the shot, giving Bayern another victory.
Five to three!
But the Bayern fans in the stands didn't dare to be careless.
Who knows if Lensing will make any more mistakes in the next games?
Subsequently, Bayern also adopted more defensive tactics, hoping to maintain the score.
Werder Bremen also consumed a lot of energy and did not have much energy to continue pressing and attacking.
In the end, Bayern defeated Werder Bremen 5-3 at home, relying on Su Dong's hat trick and two assists.
This battle certainly won Su Dong another wave of applause, especially in the Champions League group stage and the Bundesliga, where he scored two consecutive hat tricks. When he came off the field, he was greeted by 70,000 people at the Allianz Arena.
The fans stood up and applauded.
But it also exposed Bayern's problems and weaknesses.
