Vol 2 Chapter 138: adversity

Schalke's determination was great, but at the beginning of the game, Bayern showed his attitude with action, can become synonymous with the Bundesliga, dare to challenge their dominant team, first of all must bear their offensive.
Only two minutes after the start of the game, Robben easily broke through Bordon on the wing and cut in along the penalty area. Zhou Tiancheng had already thrown off Schweinsteiger for defense in time, but the lateral acceleration was still slightly slower than Robben. Some, Robben grabbed a shot, volleyed slightly higher than the beam.
After a few tens of seconds, Ribery broke through Rafinha on the other side, and volleyed on the post with a volley.
In the opening side, the wings used their own ability to press the bottom of the box to make two consecutive kills. Bayern did show an extremely strong fighting spirit, making people feel that they want to completely tear Schalke 04 today, a shame.
"When faced with the Bundesliga team, Bayern usually seem to be calm and calm because of the huge psychological advantage. It is rare that they launched such an attack from the first minute. Perhaps thanks to Schalke 04, the defending champion It can really stimulate the blood of the giants, ha!" Marcel Leif said.
Next to his commentary partner, Bayern fame Stefan Effenberg said: "This is naturally a good thing. The emergence of new challengers will make the Bundesliga more competitive."
"Stefan, your old club lost the championship last season, you don't seem to be frustrated at all?"
"Of course not, because it's Bayern, and just lost a Bundesliga champion."
"Hahaha...Although a bit arrogant, you must respect the facts. Stefan, you are right."
Bayern is like a monopoly player in the game of Monopoly, just like Dortmund CEO Vatsk once confessed to the media that "Bayern has poached all the players they can't deal with." Because of this, the league championships that other teams value very much are only a bottom line goal for Bayern. Their ideas are no longer limited to the Bundesliga.
But when their bottom line is challenged, Bayern's revenge will be fierce, this game is a proof.
Schalke’s goal was threatened twice in the opening, and in the final analysis was still in the midfield. Holtby gave enough pressure. Perhaps he felt it was enough, but for Schweinsteiger’s midfield, It was not enough to disturb him, and each of the left and right side attacks originated from Schweinsteiger's long pass.
Zhou Tiancheng walked to Holtby and reminded: "Lewis, you have to be more aggressive."
"I have followed him, I thought he couldn't pass it..."
"Confidence is a good thing, Lewis, but it's enough to estimate your opponents. This is Bayern. It's useless to keep up with it. It's useless to grab them with high strength, otherwise we will all be very passive. The clothes of the nobility are not so easy to pick. "
CCTV's live commentary Duan Xuan commented on the performance of the first few minutes: "Schalke 04's passiveness is actually a partial gap in the midfield. Magat may not be a wise starter for Holtby in such a game. Choice. After all, he is too young and lacks experience in the top leagues before, making him the defensive midfielder's main midfielder, it is really a bit difficult for him."
After the opening of the stands of the Allianz Arena, Bayern fans were very excited. They snarled at the visiting team stands of thousands of Schalke fans not far away. They sounded full of irony.
Zhou Tiancheng worked hard enough in the midfield today, and the lateral coverage area is also very large, but Van Gaal obviously has fully studied his characteristics. Bayern's passing rhythm is obviously faster, and the large-scale lateral transfer that is not commonly seen in the league is usually. Used frequently in this game, in this way to avoid Zhou Tiancheng's interception in the midfield.
Although Bayern’s offensive can only be concentrated on the sidelines, the strength of the two sides’ offense and defense is not on one level at all, and Bayern’s sideline breakthrough is followed by a reverse triangle to pass back to the middle. The combination of side and middle tactics is very effective, so Sha Erke’s formation was gradually crushed, and apart from Rakitic, Zhou Tiancheng and Holtby both contracted to the restricted area at the same time, and the distance from the offensive players was about 30 meters. Magath’s tactical philosophy is not to put the iron bucket array in the face of the strong enemy, but to drive the counterattack with defense, so it is impossible to withdraw the counterattack threat point too far behind.
Schalke could only concentrate on considering the intensive offensive against Bayern and could not organize a decent counterattack at all. Bayern's two full-backs Ram and Contento were very restrained and had no assists. They were against Asamoah and France. Erfan has targeted prevention, guarding against Schalke's counterattack.
"Bayern's oppression is too strong. Looking at Zhou's position, he has retreated close to his own defensive big penalty area, which means that Schalke 04 can't fight any decent counterattack."
Effenberg also agreed with the words: "Zhou is a midfielder who can launch counterattacks on his own and can also keenly discover opportunities. Such players will be first-rate counterattacks. After last season, the entire Bundesliga will recognize his ability. If you let him attack from the midfield, any back line will face a fatal threat. Van Gaal has extraordinary courage to take risks. Only such suppression can fundamentally solve the problem."
Zhou Tiancheng on the field didn't know what his predecessors praised him. UU reading www.uukanshu.com now he was a little anxious. Teammates don't give power, and facing such opponents is a very painful thing.
However, Schalke 04 also has some success in defense. Hevedes and Westman have done a good job in air defense. Germany's main shooter Klose has no chance of reaching a high point.
The game time was close to half an hour. Schalke fans thought that the team hoped to maintain the balance of the score in the first half, and used the intermission to come back to re-plan, but just as soon as their thought flashed, the balance on the court was immediately Broke.
The ball originated from Schalke. Rakitic just got ready to receive the ball in the middle of the arc. The active forward pressure center defender De Mikelis took the first step to intercept the ball and passed it to Ribery on the side. , Ribery faked the ball and attracted Rafinia to step forward to steal the ball. He quickly knocked the ball to Van Bommel in the middle of the road, 30 meters from the goal. The latter lifted his leg and shot directly. Zhou Tiancheng fell The ground was blocked with a foot, but it happened to fall in front of Schweinsteiger. There were not many defensive players in front of the piggy. Most people were attracted by Van Bommel’s first foot. Shi Weinstein's second foot was very decisive, and the defensive player had no time to react.
No one interfered with this foot, Schweinsteiger hit the right spot, the ball did not jump upwards, and it shot straight and fast!
Neuer's body rose into the air, but the ball came too fast, and before he fully straightened his arm, he already had close contact with the net...
1:0, Bayern Munich lead at home!
