In less than a minute, Bayern's first attack, Bastian Schweinsteiger suddenly stepped in with a long shot, which made Bielefeld goalkeeper Ehrhoff make a save. Although he saved the ball,
But then Su Dong followed up and found out the leak, leaving him powerless.

A week later, in the 29th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern faced Schalke 04 at home.
Since there is the Champions League in the middle of the week, Bayern has made appropriate rotations in this game. Players such as Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller have been acquired. Players such as Franck Ribery and Modric are recharging their energy and preparing to compete with Manchester United.

At the Allianz Arena, Bayern, playing at home, took the lead from the start.
In the sixth minute, Su Dong actively pressed in the frontcourt and successfully intercepted the ball from Schalke's fourth defender. He broke into the penalty area and passed the ball back. After Robben got the ball, he hit the far corner with his left foot.
Bayern opened the scoring.
But Schalke 04 was not to be outdone. In just two minutes, they seized the weakness of Bayern's defense. Young player Badstuber made a defensive mistake and the opponent seized the opportunity to get a goal back, one to one.
Neither team held anything back.
In the 13th minute, after Robben dribbled the ball from the right and cut inside, he was tripped by the opponent's defender and landed on the right side of the top area of the penalty area. Bayern got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

…
Before facing Manchester United in the Champions League, it is definitely a good thing for Bayern to win a big victory in the league.
The German media also praised Bayern's performance this season, believing that this team has every hope of continuing the glory of last season and even becoming more dominant than last season.
But Kicker magazine also reminded Bayern that Manchester United is not a soft persimmon, especially at Old Trafford. The Red Devils and Manchester United have always been the hardest nut to crack. If they are not careful, they may capsize in the gutter at any time.
Beckenbauer also reminded Bayern players in his column, hoping they would be cautious.
Bayern also paid enough attention to the battle at Old Trafford and decided to arrive in Manchester in advance to prepare.
…………
…………
The day before the game, Bayern arrived in Manchester and checked into a hotel near the Old Trafford Stadium.
It's not all for the convenience of going to Old Trafford, but because Bayern borrowed Manchester City's training ground.
It’s really interesting to say that the training bases of Manchester United and Manchester City are both in Carrington in the western suburbs of Manchester. Entering a tree-lined country road, the training bases of the two famous Premier League teams stand side by side, just like brothers.
What is the origin of these two teams and why their training bases are both in Carrington is unknown.
But it is obvious that Manchester United's Trafford training center is much taller and more complete than Manchester City's training base.
Manchester United is still very willing to spend money on investment in this area. After Ferguson trained Class 92, their investment in youth training has not weakened, and Manchester United's scouts are also searching for young talents all over the world.
In comparison, Manchester City is much poorer. However, after the acquisition by the Abu Dhabi consortium, the first thing Manchester City did was to renovate the training base. Technical director Begiristain was personally responsible for this matter. It is said that Guardiola was also behind the scenes.
, because it is no longer a big secret that Guardiola coaches Manchester City.
Therefore, when the Bayern team arrived at Manchester City's Carrington training base, they saw that it had been transformed. Whether it was the players' rest area, the locker room, the gym and the training ground, they all had a brand new look.
Since the youth training center is not here, Manchester City's training base is specially provided for the first team players. The venue is not large and is much smaller than the Trafford training center of Manchester United opposite.
…
When Bayern arrived at Carrington, Manchester City's technical director Begiristain personally greeted them.
He and Su Dong were already old friends, very familiar with each other, and they also brought Soriano's greetings.
Manchester City's office is not in Carrington, but at the City Stadium in Manchester.
It is said that Manchester City is attracting investment and plans to sell the naming rights of its home stadium like Arsenal. It should not be called the City Stadium in the future.
Begiristain took Manchester City on a tour of Carrington and arranged a spare dressing room for them.
Since Manchester City also has to train, they can only borrow a venue for Bayern to use for the time being, but this is enough.
In fact, something like Bayern's borrowing a training ground is a very normal phenomenon in European football and is not even worth mentioning. Especially when some teams need to go to away games in advance, borrowing a venue will be more beneficial to the team.
.
Manchester City's players were also at the training ground and welcomed Bayern's visit.
It can be seen that after the renovation, the quality of the players' entertainment area and rest area has also been upgraded. The computers equipped are all provided by Apple, as well as game consoles and various leisure and entertainment sports facilities.
But what really caught Su Dong's attention was not at Manchester City's Carrington training base, but outside the base.
There is a small hill next to Manchester United's Trafford training center with shady trees.
Su Dong heard Ronnie mention more than once that when he first joined Manchester United, he often practiced alone in the woods on the hills because the Manchester United players didn't look down on him at that time, and some even mocked him to his face.
Queiroz's illegitimate son.
It should be there!
Su Dong looked at the hills in the distance and thought to himself.
At this moment, Ronnie should also be preparing for the game at the Trafford Training Center.
…
"Mansour has informed us that he is planning to relocate to build a training center in the urban area of Manchester. The investment is expected to be very staggering, but when it is completed, it will definitely be the top training ground in world football."
Begiristan quietly came to Su Dong's side.
The two of them are old friends, and Bayern came to borrow Manchester City's training base. It was normal for them to chat a few words, and it was not considered a personal contact.
Besides, we are already in the information age. Nowadays, private contact with players is more of a private matter. As long as both clubs can accept it, who cares how you contact them?
"It can be seen that he is very ambitious and plans to make a career in professional football and build this brand." Su Dong praised.
You can tell whether you have ambition or not.
If you just want to make quick money, or buy low and sell high, there is no need to invest so much.
How dilapidated was the Blues' training base after Abramovich acquired Chelsea?
Even if Chelsea stars gathered later, wouldn't they still be training in that shabby "little warehouse"?
These things were ridiculed by the media at the time, saying that any player was worth more than the training base.
"He is your fan." Begiristan tried.
Su Dong smiled and wanted to say that he had too many fans, but he had a good relationship with Begiristan and could understand what he meant.
"I hope to win three consecutive Champions Leagues with Bayern. Only after achieving this goal will I consider others."
"This is really a... great wish." Begiristan originally wanted to say that it was an unrealistic wish, because in his impression, this was basically impossible.
But then I thought about it, what else is impossible with Su Dong?
Bayern has performed so strongly this season. After reaching the semi-finals, who says there is no possibility of winning the Champions League?
And judging from their performance in the past two seasons, Bayern's stamina is quite impressive.
Bayern's lineup itself is very strong, and Su Dong further enhanced Bayern's competitiveness based on this lineup.
"Guardiola is a good coach and I think he will succeed at Manchester City."
After a long conversation, Su Dong also spoke very highly of Guardiola.
Begiristan nodded, he thought so too.
…………
…………
When Su Dong stood at Manchester City's training base, overlooking the hill where Ronnie trained, at the Trafford training center next door, Manchester United was also actively preparing for the decisive battle tomorrow night.
Ferguson even rarely went to the training ground to practice tactics with the players hand in hand.
He carefully prepared a gift for Bayern, which will definitely give Bayern a big surprise.
At the same time, he also believes that Manchester United can get a ticket to advance to the Champions League final with this, averting the shame of last season's Champions League final!
