On the afternoon of September 27th, Bayern challenged Hannover 96 away from home.
Only seven minutes into the game, Su Dong attracted the defensive attention during a corner kick attack, headed the ball over, and assisted Pepe to score with a header, opening the scoring for Bayern.
Falling behind at home, Hannover 96 launched a fierce counterattack.
First, Fussell's sudden shot after a breakthrough was saved by Neuer with one hand. Husti's follow-up shot was also firmly held in his arms by Neuer's second save. This continuous save allowed
Neuer won the recognition of his teammates.
Just seven minutes later, Hannover 96 received a free kick in the frontcourt, which was in a very good position.
Justi took a very high-level direct free kick, trying to hit the goal corner.
Neuer stood in front of the goal and judged the situation of the ball early. He made a leap, and with his height and long hands, he used an extremely difficult move to save Husti's free kick with one hand.
When the Bayern goalkeeper fell heavily to the ground, there was a burst of enthusiastic exclamations. Even the fans of Hannover 96 were shocked by Neuer's save.
"Wow! Well done!"
"awesome!"
Teammates around him came over one after another, pulled Neuer up and praised him.
Such a save is undoubtedly very morale-boosting.
"The free kick he took was not as fast as you and the arc was not as strange as yours, but it was actually not difficult at all!" Neuer smiled at Su Dong.
Su Dong couldn't help but slap him on the shoulder. Isn't this too Versailles?
Have you ever spoken like this?
However, the flattery was pretty good.
…
With Neuer's outstanding performance, Bayern's defense has stabilized, and the team has also invested more troops in the frontcourt.
Especially in the second half, Franck Ribery came on as a substitute again, and the front three was finally complete.
Su Dong scored a goal in the 54th minute and was substituted by Podolski in the 60th minute.
In the 67th minute, Podolski assisted Ribery and scored a goal.
In the end, Bayern defeated Hannover 96 3-0 away from home and won their sixth consecutive victory.
…
While Bayern defeated Hannover 96 away from home, Werder Bremen welcomed Hoffenheim at home.
This dark horse from a small village once again shocked the entire German football world.
Facing the powerful Werder Bremen away from home, Hoffenheim conceded the goal in just eight minutes, but Ibisevic's assist helped the team equalize the score. But soon, Bremen scored three goals in a row, making it four games.
One leads.
If it were any other team, they would have surrendered long ago under such disparity.
But Hoffenheim managed to pull back three goals in a row to draw 4-4, which was simply unbelievable.
Although at the last moment, Bremen scored again and defeated their opponent 5-4, this battle still surprised the entire German football world, especially Hoffenheim's fighting spirit.
Not to mention the three newly promoted teams, even in this season's Bundesliga, Hoffenheim's performance is obvious to all.
Everyone began to look at this newly promoted team with admiration.
With Hoffenheim's strength, it is indeed very difficult to attack Bayern's dominance, but there is still a good chance to get a good ranking in the Bundesliga, especially with the momentum against Werder Bremen.
Down.

What is the biggest challenge in the away game against Zenit St. Petersburg?
Heynckes believes that the number one opponent is not the strength of the UEFA Cup winning team composed of Arshavin, Dani and others, nor is it an away challenge, but the climate of St. Petersburg.
When the daytime temperature in Munich is close to 20 degrees, the temperature in St. Petersburg has reached single digits, and it is close to zero at night. The drastic temperature difference in a short period of time is huge for any away team.
challenge.
In addition to the huge temperature difference, St. Petersburg is in the rainy season, and the wet and cold weather is very terrible. Especially since Zenit sprinkled water on the court, this is simply doing everything possible to cause trouble for the visiting team and take advantage of their home court advantage.
Bayern was extremely uncomfortable with it. Zenit launched a fierce attack on Bayern from the beginning, making it clear that they wanted to take advantage of their home court advantage to win Bayern in one fell swoop and avenge the European Super Cup.
Heynckes and Bayern were quite mentally prepared for the difficulty of the away game, but in the game against Zenit, everyone was stunned by their opponents and fell into a passive position.
This dizzy spell immediately knocked me out for the entire first half.
Yes, Bayern was beaten by Zenit for forty-five minutes.
What an incredible thing!
As strong as Bayern, when have they ever been so embarrassed by their opponents?
But in front of nature, it is useless no matter how strong Bayern is.
Mascherano ran tirelessly to cover and intercept. Pepe and Lucio's legs and bodies blocked countless opponents' shots. Neuer made successive saves to keep Bayern's goal intact.
It can be said that thanks to the outstanding performance of the midfield and backcourt and the tenacious fighting spirit, Bayern incredibly managed to hold on to a zero-0 score in the first half.
This earned them praise from Heynckes during the halftime break.
Everyone knows how difficult it is to play in such an away game.
After changing sides in the second half, Bayern continued to defend tightly.
Among them, Neuer once again made a great save, directly passing Arshavin's wonderful pass to Danny for a volley, flying to save the ball from the bottom line, once again ensuring the safety of the goal.
In this severe cold weather, Bayern's players basically lost their temper.
The midfield composed of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Modric couldn't play well, especially since the field was so muddy and slippery. It was a nightmare for Bayern, which had better passing and receiving abilities, so the team was forced to
You can only hold on.
The poor venue and weather conditions made Heynckes even afraid to replace Franck Ribery, for fear that the French scarface, who had just returned from injury, would be injured again, which would really outweigh the gains and losses.
Everyone knows that if they fail to win the away game in this round, then they will be in Belarus Borisov in the fifth round. The predicament they will encounter will not be much better than now, and Bayern will not retreat by then.
Su Dong also remained focused on the court and patiently waited for opportunities.
In this severe cold weather, he spent more energy on himself rather than his opponents.
Zenit's players are obviously more adaptable than Bayern, so they want to eat Bayern from the start.
But now, not only could he not swallow the first bite, but he could not take the second or third bite either. Su Dong believed that they would definitely reveal their flaws.
Sure enough, when the game reached the 71st minute, Zenit's attack was intercepted by Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mascherano in the midfield. Modric sent an overhead kick.
Kicked the ball directly behind the defense.
Su Dong quickly stepped in, got ahead of central defender Puigrinier, headed the ball to the right, and quickly sprinted forward.
Robben sprinted along the right wing and caught up with Su Dong's header. He strode forward and dribbled the ball directly to the right side of the penalty area. Facing the left back who returned to defend in time, Robben quickly made a fake move.
After cutting inside, he directly kicked the left foot to hit the goal. The whole action was extremely skillful.
But whether it was due to the weather or excessive physical exertion, Robben's shot was deflected.
After the ball was deflected by Robben, it hit central defender Puigrinier, who was following Su Dong all the way, and deflected.
Su Dong was right next to Puiglinier and reacted very quickly. He took the first step to stop the ball. After turning around and adjusting, he hit it directly with his left foot.
The ball became faster against the slippery turf, and before goalkeeper Malafeev made the save, it went straight into the lower left corner of Zenit's goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"In the 71st minute, Su Dong took the lead and scored a goal for Bayern!"
"One to zero!!"
"It's really a very, very crucial goal!"
"Bayern was suppressed by Zenit throughout the game. The climate and venue were really not conducive to Bayern. On the contrary, Zenit performed even better. Bayern was very passive on the scene."
"But at the critical moment, Bayern's quick counterattack, Su Dong's header was passed to Robben, but Robben's kick was deflected, and the ball hit the defensive player and changed direction. Su Dong's reaction was really fast.
."
"We can see this slow-motion replay. Su Dong stopped the ball, adjusted, and hit it directly. He was very decisive!"
"One to zero, this goal is so important for Bayern!"
"We saw Su Dong running to the sidelines to celebrate, but we have to say that Su Dong's goal celebration movements are really nothing new. I personally suggest that he should find someone to specially design a set of celebration movements for scoring goals.
, for example, the kind where you slide on your knees and drag out three traces, it will definitely be very unusual.”
…
Su Dong's goal broke the deadlock on the field, but it failed to reverse Bayern's disadvantage.
When Zenit fell behind, they launched an even more intense attack and took turns attacking Bayern.
Heynckes had no choice but to immediately replace Robben and replace him with Tymoschuk to strengthen the team's defense.
Tymoshchuk obviously needs to be more adaptable to this climate and is more familiar with Zenit. His coming on as a substitute greatly eased the pressure on Bayern's defense, especially the double midfielder formed by him and Mascherano.
.
Zenit gave it a try and continued to make substitutions to strengthen the attack.
Advocaat's goal is very clear, that is to at least win a draw at home.
In front of top clubs like Bayern and Real Madrid, Zenit's biggest advantage is their home court. If they can't win at home, what else can Zenit do to qualify for the group stage?
In the ice and snow away game, Neuer showed his greatest advantage and played the most exciting game since joining Bayern. Especially at the last moment of the game, when Zenit went crazy and counterattacked, Neuer insisted on high
Block the low ball and try to keep the goal.
This not only amazed Heynckes on the sidelines, but also amazed the Bayern players in the stadium.
Faced with Neuer like this, Lensing did not lose unjustly.
In the end, Bayern narrowly defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 1-0 in an away game.
Goalkeeper Neuer won the man of the match award.
To use Marcelo and Ribery's joking words in the locker room after the game, Neuer was a god tonight.
