On February 6, in the 21st round of the Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Wolfsburg away.
Before the knockout rounds of the Champions League, Ribery finally returned from injury and returned to the game squad.
Only two minutes into the game, Su Dong took the ball in the frontcourt and planned, Thomas Muller assisted Robben and scored a goal.
In the 26th minute, Robben assisted Su Dong to score another victory, extending the score to 2-0.
During the halftime break, Ribery came on as a substitute, and in the 57th minute, he received an assist from Su Dong and scored another victory for Bayern.
In the end, Bayern defeated Wolfsburg 3-0 away from home.
…
Bayern's trident has reunited, making people once again full of expectations for Bayern's prospects.
You know, when Ribery and Robben were injured, Su Dong dragged the team to play and has maintained a far lead.
Now, before the most critical knockout rounds of the Champions League, Ribery and Robben have returned one after another, which is undoubtedly a great boost to the team.
Heynckes said in an interview with the media after the game that he believed Robben had found his best form, because in this game he was elected the best player of the match.
Ribery is entering the state. I believe that in mid-February, when the Champions League knockout rounds arrive, the coaching staff can help Ribery reach his best state, so that Bayern can face AC Milan in the best mental state.
Yes, after qualifying first in the group, Bayern still had bad luck. Among the eight second-place teams in the group, AC Milan was the strongest. This was definitely a bad draw.
Some people say that AC Milan is a nursing home. Although veterans such as Maldini have retired, there are still veterans such as Nesta, Ronaldinho, Seedorf, Gattuso and Inzaghi. During the winter break,
Another Beckham came in this period, and we were able to put together two tables of mahjong.
When Heynckes was interviewed by the media, he did not think AC Milan was easy to deal with. On the contrary, he thought this team was very troublesome because they have very rich experience and their players are very capable.
"A team like AC Milan may not perform very well in the long league, but no one can estimate how much strength they will show in the 180-minute knockout round."
Heynckes believes that AC Milan's lineup makes this game full of unpredictability.
"Ronaldinho, Beckham, Pirlo, even Pato, Inzaghi and Huntelaar, any one of them can play at a super level and can change the situation of the game every minute."
"We must treat this battle at San Siro like the Champions League final!"
Due to the absence of Franck Ribery and Robben, although Bayern also finished first in the group stage, it was not as strong as in the past. For example, the team's top star Su Dong has only scored in the group stage so far.
Five goals, which is far below his performance in the past few years.
Many media believe that Su Dong's condition has declined significantly, and he only scored five goals in the Champions League group stage.
Heynckes refuted this statement and pointed out that Su Dong's goal number in the Bundesliga is still very good.
"I can understand that for a star like Su Dong, everyone will have higher and more demanding requirements for him, but I think we still have to proceed from the actual situation. Su Dong has scored a lot of goals this season."
Heynckes believes that Su Dong's sharp drop in goals in the group stage is mainly due to two reasons. One is the impact of injuries, which caused Su Dong to have to do more in the game.
There were some things that Su Dong didn't need to worry about when Ribery and Robben were here, but now, he even needs to do them himself, which greatly distracts him from the energy in the game.
Moreover, with multiple fronts, Su Dong has more playing time than before and consumes more time.
You know, Bayern could not even recruit a regular winger at one time, and could only let Thomas Muller, Toni Kroos, and even Bastian Schweinsteiger make guest appearances. This caused Su Dong to be unable to concentrate on playing.
ball.
"I think that during this difficult period, it just proved Su Dong's value. He alone supported the team's offense. I don't think he should be criticized too much."
Heynckes believes that there is another reason why Bayern scored less goals in the group stage, and that is that their opponents are stronger.
Needless to say, Juventus, Bordeaux's strength far exceeded everyone's expectations and even forced Juventus to play in the Europa League. Needless to say, we all know the level of this defending French Ligue 1 champion.
.
Under the mixed influence of the two factors, it is normal for Sudong to have a sharp drop in goals scored in the group stage.
Heynckes also jokingly said that people who question Su Dong may just be because they are not used to it.
Because even if Sudong's goals dropped sharply, he still ranked second in the Champions League scorer list. He only lost one goal to Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and was more than Messi who only scored two goals.
In the past, Su Dong was always the best.
Heynckes believes that with Ribery and Robben returning from injury, Bayern will be even more powerful, Su Dong's performance will be even better, and he believes that there will be more and more goals in the second half.

In mid-week, the German Cup ushered in the quarterfinals, and Bayern welcomed Fürth at home.
This time Sudong took a rest, Klose, Ribery, Robben and Thomas Muller formed the frontcourt offensive combination.
Thomas Muller scored twice, Ribery, Robben and Lahm all scored. Bayern defeated Fürth 6-0 at home.
This battle also allowed everyone to see Bayern's recovery, especially after experiencing injuries, Bayern players showed excellent form.
Badstuber and Hummels partnered as central defenders, and their performance was very stable and satisfactory.

Over the weekend, in the 22nd round of the Bundesliga, Bayern faced Dortmund at home.
Playing at home, Bayern focused more on the Champions League knockout games in midweek. Unexpectedly, Klopp's team immediately started throwing punches, and Zidan scored a goal in the fifth minute.
In the 21st minute, Su Dongla went to the right to plan an offensive. Robben went straight to the right side of the penalty area and passed to the center. Bastian Schweinsteiger scored with a header and equalized the score for Bayern.
After changing sides in the second half, Franck Ribery broke through with the ball from his left rib and sent a through ball. Sudong stopped the ball in the penalty area, turned around, and volleyed with his left foot, giving Bayern the lead.
Ten minutes later, Ribery dribbled the ball laterally and cut inside, then passed the ball diagonally to Robben, and the Dutch Peter Pan scored.
3-1, Bayern reversed Dortmund and won another three points.

The Champions League knockout round of 16 is about to ignite the war, and Bayern's away game against AC Milan is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
In terms of schedule, AC Milan is more advantageous than Bayern Munich, because their league game against Udinese is scheduled to be held on Friday, and it is a home game.
In order to better spy on military intelligence, Heynckes, along with his assistants and scouts, secretly sneaked into the San Siro Stadium on Friday night and watched the AC Milan game live. In the end, the Rossoneri narrowly defeated Udinese three to two.
.
He believed that during Bayern's home game against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday night, AC Milan head coach Leonardo was probably secretly sitting in the stands, but there were too many fans at the scene and it was the cold winter season, so it was easy to fake it.
Therefore, in the battle against Dortmund, Bayern actually did not try its best.
Even the goal conceded in the opening game was somewhat intentional.
It wasn't until the morning after playing Dortmund, when the team was conducting recovery training, that Heynckes told the players what he had learned at the San Siro Stadium, and he highlighted three players.
"The Brazilian genius Pato is not very strong at the moment. I am not worried about his striker combination with Huntelaar. I believe our defense can hold on."
Although Pato is recognized as a genius in Europe, Heynckes does not think particularly highly of him.
This probably has something to do with the fact that he is used to seeing Su Dong, Ribery and Robben play.
As Beckenbauer once said in a column, "When you get used to seeing Su Dong, you will find that other people can't play football at all!"
"There are three players that we must pay attention to. Needless to say, Pirlo, he will definitely be the player we value most. We will put the greatest pressure on him at the tactical level and we must not let him dominate the game.
"
In the game against Udinese, Beckham was a substitute and the score was already 3-1 when he came on. However, Heynckes believed that this was probably a smoke bomb deliberately set by Leonardo to make people think that
Beckham doesn't matter.
"In Manchester United and Real Madrid, Beckham's crosses and free kicks from the right were definitely a killer, especially when combined with Ruud van Nistelrooy. But now, AC Milan has Huntelaar and Raid in the team.
Leonardo must have had the consciousness to ask Beckham to activate Huntelaar's scoring efficiency, but he deliberately hid his hand when facing Udinese."
It's like this before the game, you guard me, I guard you, no one will reveal their trump card so easily.
"Ronaldinho is the biggest uncertainty. He is extremely talented and his condition is difficult to control. He was in a long slump before, but in the game against Udinese, he scored another hat trick of assists.
"
When Heynckes said this, he also felt a headache. Dealing with a superstar of Ronaldinho's level would make any team and any head coach feel very painful.
"Just now, Su told me that Ronaldinho must be paid attention to. The stronger he is when he encounters a strong opponent, and the more crucial the game is, the more he can stimulate his state and fighting spirit. And we all know that, like Ronaldinho,
Once a player like Neo performs well, it will be a disaster for us."
Su Dong and Ronaldinho have been teammates in Barcelona for three years, and he knows the Brazilian very well.
In some unimportant games, he may lack fighting spirit, but in key strong dialogues, he will definitely pursue something.
As long as he wants something, he will work hard.
That's why he scored a hat trick of assists in this latest game.
Su Dong believes that in this strong dialogue, Ronaldinho's on-the-spot performance will be very crucial.
Bayern must restrict him, otherwise, the risk will be too great.
