On the evening of January 15th, Allianz Arena in Munich.
This stadium, known as the most dreamy stadium in the world, is as bright as a bright red ruby tonight.
After a month's absence, the Bundesliga has finally reignited the flames of war.
Bayern Munich plays Hoffenheim at home.
Although Hoffenheim's performance this season is not as good as before, it still ranked seventh in the Bundesliga in the first half of the season, and its overall strength cannot be underestimated. Bayern, playing at home, is still troubled by injuries.
Ribery has not been able to get a license to play, and Wolfart is still not satisfied with his recovery.
This also allows Bayern to field the trident combination of Su Dong, Thomas Muller and Robben tonight.
The atmosphere among the Bayern fans at the scene was very lively. It was obvious that they had suppressed their passion for a month and were eager to be released tonight.
…
Before the game, Bayern held a brief presentation ceremony when players from both sides entered the stadium.
Hoffenheim lined up to welcome Bayern in a very graceful manner. Captain Lahm held high the Club World Cup championship the team won from Abu Dhabi, while Su Dong held the Ballon d'Or in one hand and the other in the other.
World Footballer of the Year, following Lahm.
At this moment, all the fans in the stadium let out deafening cheers and shouted Su Dong's name.
In the stands, many fans even pulled out golden ball banners and a huge photo of Su Dong.
These are all congratulatory gifts given to Su Dong by Bayern fans.
Compared with the World Player of the Year and the Ballon d'Or, the Club World Cup champion is not that eye-catching.
This is not surprising either.
Whether it is the current Club World Cup or the previous Toyota Cup, the Champions League champion teams are basically the favorites when they participate.
Even the Copa Libertadores champion teams in South America often lose more than they win when they encounter the Champions League champions.
Not to mention that it is normal for a top team like Bayern to participate in the Club World Cup and win the championship.
Su Dong showed the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer to the envious gazes of the players and the cheers of the fans. He then took them to the sidelines and handed them to Bayern staff to put them away before returning to the court to prepare for the game.
…
Even though it was an away game, Hoffenheim still played with great courage.
Rangnick arranged Hoffenheim's regular four-three-three lineup, which was head-to-head with Bayern.
At the beginning of the game, Bayern also actively put pressure on Hoffenheim.
In less than twenty seconds, Su Dong rushed to the edge of the penalty area and almost blocked Hildebrand's big foot.
But Hoffenheim was not to be outdone, and proactively put pressure on Bayern without any intention of playing away games, nor any caution or timidity in facing Bayern, the Bundesliga hegemon, and appeared to be very courageous.
In the first minute, Hoffenheim attacked again. Demba Ba dribbled the ball into the right side of Bayern's penalty area. When he was about to create a threat, Pepe chased all the way back and forced Demba Ba away with his body.
The ball was stolen.
Demba Ba protested the foul, but the referee signaled for the game to continue.
Pepe's physical fitness is also very good. If he really gets entangled with him, no one will benefit.
Bayern's quick counterattack failed, and the ball was quickly lost again.
But Hoffenheim also failed to counterattack. As soon as it passed the center line, Lucio took the lead and intercepted the ball.
After grabbing the ball, Lucio glanced ahead and passed forward with a big kick.
The ball quickly crossed the center line and fell behind the Hoffenheim defense.
Su Dong has been cruising in front of Hoffenheim's two central defenders, maintaining a lagging position. The moment Lucio passed the ball, Su Dong suddenly started and sprinted forward as quickly as possible.
In an instant, Su Dong's explosive power and speed were fully displayed, completely throwing away Simnic and Comper, and caught up with the ball after it bounced off the ground at the front of Hoffenheim's penalty area.
Halfway through Hildebrand's attack, Su Dong first made a fake move to take a shot. After confusing the German goalkeeper, he suddenly swung the ball to the left. After wading out of a channel, he volleyed directly with his left foot.
The ball followed a straight line and penetrated into Hoffenheim's goal, one to zero!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"The first goal of the second half of the Bundesliga!"
"One minute and twenty-three seconds! A goal from Su Dong!!"
The entire Allianz Arena exploded again.
Su Dong opened the scoring for Bayern just after the game started, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene.
Is there a better start than this?
…
With Su Dong's goal, the situation gradually opened up.
Hoffenheim started a crazy counterattack.
I have to say that the team coached by Rangnick is really courageous, plays tenaciously, and plays very openly.
Even when facing Bayern away from home, they can still adopt a wide-open and wide-open style of play to suppress Bayern.
But unfortunately, Bayern played too steadily and did not give Hoffenheim the slightest chance.
The only threatening shot was in the 28th minute. Ibisevic's long shot was directly caught by Neuer.
This center, who is rumored to be joining Bayern to fill the vacancy after Su Dong left the team, performed quite average tonight.
Just seven minutes later, Bayern took advantage of a corner kick opportunity. Bastian Schweinsteiger passed in. Sudong beat Simnic and headed the ball to the back point. Pepe scored with a header in front of the goal, giving Bayern another victory.
Two to zero!
…
After changing sides in the second half, Bayern gradually took control of the situation as Hoffenheim's physical fitness declined.
Whether it's Hoffenheim or Dortmund, this style of play consumes a lot of physical energy.
Both Bayern and Heynckes are no strangers to this, so they played very patiently.
In the 56th minute, when Hoffenheim attacked the outside of Bayern's penalty area, the ball was intercepted. Bayern launched a quick counterattack, taking advantage of Hoffenheim's inability to retreat in time to defend. Robben dribbled the ball all the way.
Crossing the ball from the right side of the penalty area to the goal, Su Dong stopped the ball and dunked past goalkeeper Hildebrand, and then pushed the ball into the empty goal again, 3-0!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Scored twice!
After that, Bayern continued to take advantage of Hoffenheim's excessive physical exertion and pursued the game fiercely.
In the 84th minute, Robben forced a breakthrough on the right side of the penalty area, passed back in front of the baseline, Modric made a horizontal pass, and Klose scored with a shovel from the front of the small penalty area, sealing the victory for Bayern, 4-0!
In the end, Bayern defeated Hoffenheim 4-0 at home with Sudong's brace and Pepe and Klose's goals.

A week later, in the 19th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Werder Bremen away from home.
Both sides knew the ins and outs of each other, and each knew the other's ins and outs, so the game became intense from the beginning.
Only three minutes into the game, Su Dong received a long pass from the backcourt and passed the ball to Modric with his back.
The Croatian midfielder sent a through ball. Robben broke into the right side of the penalty area and shot with his left foot. It was 1-0.
But soon, Werder Bremen's Marin assisted Hunter to get a goal back, one to one.
In the 25th minute, Bastian Schweinsteiger broke through with the ball from the left rib and passed it across to the middle. Su Dong knocked the ball with his heel and passed it to Thomas Muller on the left, who broke into the penalty area and pushed.
Hit in the lower right corner, two to one!
In the 35th minute, Robben planned an attack on the right, Modric passed through, Lahm dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area and passed, Su Dong volleyed from close range, giving Bayern another victory, three to one!
After changing sides in the second half, Bayern still performed very strongly and continued to launch an offensive against Werder Bremen.
In the 54th minute, Frings made a mistake in passing the ball. Sudong got ahead of Mertesacker and poked the ball behind the defense. He accelerated and passed between Mertesacker and Naldo, grabbing the goalkeeper.
Before Wei Ze, he scored with a single goal, four to one!
Although Marin then assisted Almeida to score, Bayern then scored a goal from Robben.
In the end, Bayern defeated Werder Bremen 5-2 in an away game.
…
After the game, Heynckes criticized the team's defense, especially the second goal conceded. Pepe was obviously not focused enough when defending Portugal national team international Almeida.
But overall, Bayern's performance is still remarkable.

On January 30, in the twentieth round of the Bundesliga, Bayern faced Mainz at home.
Before the game, the weather suddenly became cold, heavy snow fell in Munich, and the temperature dropped directly to below zero.
Playing in such cold weather is a big trouble for anyone.
In the first thirty minutes, Bayern played very disorganized and the players were obviously out of shape.
Until the 31st minute, Robben dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the right and passed in. Su Dong hit the ball from close range and opened the scoring for Bayern.
But then, the snow became heavier and heavier. Although the floor heating was turned on at the Allianz Stadium, the grass was covered in white. Even the white lines on the field could not be seen clearly. The referee had to change all the game balls to orange.
, making it more eye-catching.
This also seriously affected the game between the two teams.
Bayern waited until the 67th minute. First Lucio scored with a header, then Bastian Schweinsteiger scored with a header, and then Klose and Robben scored consecutively.
Bayern beat Mainz 5-0 at home.
…
After the game, Mainz head coach Tuchel was disappointed with the defeat, but he believed that the problem lay in the climate and field conditions.
Especially starting from the second goal, Mainz basically did not organize a decent defense.
"Our players were not only under the offensive pressure of Bayern players, but also affected by the venue. In this unfavorable situation, continuous mistakes occurred."
Tuchel was obviously not convinced by this result. After all, starting from the second half, the field conditions were really bad.
But no matter what, Bayern's 5-0 victory over Mainz is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
After the game, the media also supported Mainz's young coach's remarks, but did not overly blame him for the tragic defeat.
This season, after replacing Norwegian coach Jon Andersen as the team's head coach, Tuchel has led the newly promoted team to stay in the middle of the standings, with satisfactory results.
What is impressive is that Tuchel is also a German young coach who blindly adopts high-position pressing tactics, which has led many people to compare him with Dortmund coach Klopp, the former Mainz coach.
But no one is sure whether Tuchel will become the second Klopp?
