Chapter 691 The Great World Wave
On the afternoon of October [-]rd, Bayern played against Cologne at home.

Although Podolski was introduced with a lot of money, the performance of the Cologne team in the new season is not ideal. After the first seven rounds, this team ranks No. 17 in the Bundesliga, which can almost be said to be a favorite for relegation.

The head coach of the Köln team is Sordo, a Croatian. He had played for Stuttgart for ten years before retiring in [-]. In [-], he returned to Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia to coach the youth team.

Last season, Cologne did not have too much pressure to relegation, and has always been in the lower middle of the standings. This summer, they spent another 1000 million euros to buy Podolski from Bayern Munich.

But who would have thought that the former prince returned and Sordo also came, but the team's performance dropped instead.

You know, in the same period last season, Cologne ranked tenth in the league after seven rounds of matches, but this season it fell to No.17. How can this be accepted?
The reason for this phenomenon is that on the one hand, with the investment of the Bundesliga teams, the overall strength has been improved, but on the other hand, after Köln bought back Podolski, the overall strength did not rise but fell, which is very problematic.

Because of this, Sordo was under considerable pressure in the away game against Bayern. He even shouted before the game that he would relegation from now on and wanted to lead the team out of the relegation zone as soon as possible.

As the captain of Stuttgart at the time, he played in the Bundesliga for ten years. Sordo is very familiar with the Bundesliga, especially how to deal with giants like Bayern. Therefore, at the Allianz Arena, Cologne put on an iron barrel formation to guard against death.

There is only one purpose, to stick to the goal.

……

Bayern's luck here is not very good.

Su Dong still did not start, and Robben was injured in the game against Juventus. Heynckes could only discharge the combination of Ribery, Klose and Thomas Muller in the frontcourt.

In the match against Juventus in the middle of the week, Bayern consumed a lot, so in this battle, the team tried to slow down the pace, but Cologne's defense organization is in place, and Sordo is a defensive player.

This caused Bayern's offense to encounter a tenacious interception.

What is even more depressing is that in the game, Bayern's luck was extremely bad.

First Schweinsteiger hit the crossbar with a header, and then Klose hit the crossbar with a header.

Tonight, the Allianz Arena door frame seems to be in trouble with Bayern.

For most of the game, Bayern controlled the ball and advantage, but they just couldn't open the situation and couldn't create a threat.

At halftime, Heynckes replaced Olić and continued to strengthen the offensive.

Although Bayern bombed Cologne indiscriminately, they just failed to form a goal.

This not only made Heynckes extremely depressed on the sidelines, but also made the fans in the stands unable to sit still.

Playing at home, still can't win Cologne?
After being unable to attack for a long time, Heynckes finally set his sights on Su Dong who was on the bench.

Sudong's personal trainer Nuno Cruz complained to Heynckes, can't Sudong be allowed to rest for two games?After the injured muscles have been healed and healed, go on again?

Heynckes was full of helplessness, and really wanted to say, it really doesn't work!

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't do it!

Look at these two games, without Su Dong, how did Bayern's offense look like?
It was better against Juventus, but against Cologne, Bayern's offense was completely blunted.

Therefore, Heynckes could only smile bitterly and say bitterly, professional players, who is not injured?

Su Dong's injury is actually nothing, as long as it doesn't get worse.

After playing this game, it will be two weeks of national team games. Heynckes promised to give Su Dong a two-week long vacation to recuperate from his injuries.

But tonight, I still have to rely on him!
……

When the game progressed to No. 806 minutes, Bayern launched a quick attack after stealing the ball.

Franck Ribery dribbled the ball on the left rib and passed it to Klose who was on the left side of the penalty area.

Klose headed the ball to the center of the penalty area, but Cologne's central defender Pedro made a header and headed the ball out.

The ball slowly fell to the outside of the penalty area.

Just when everyone thought that Bayern's attack was frustrated and failed again, a red figure suddenly appeared at the front of the penalty area. It was Su Dong who planned this counterattack just now because he retreated to catch up with his teammates.

Su Dong judged the landing point early, facing the falling ball, he volleyed directly with his right foot.

A muffled sound was heard at the scene, and the ball was shot to the right side of the goal quickly like a cannonball.

The goalkeeper of the Cologne team stood to the left, and the whole person was stunned, allowing the sudden world wave of this foot to penetrate the Cologne team's goal and hit the upper right corner of the goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

"No. 806 minutes, Su Dong kicked a great world wave!"

"What an astonishing volley!"

"Su Dong, who came off the bench, scored three points for Bayern with an amazing long shot!"

The entire Allianz Arena was completely insane.

One to zero!

Bayern fought hard for 10 minutes, and finally at the final stage of the game, Su Dong, who came off the bench for 10 minutes, scored a wonderful world wave.

The fans at the scene were almost crazy, shouting and cheering hoarsely, all rushed out of their seats, all shouting Su Dong's name frantically, venting their inner excitement.

After depressing the whole game, I finally got a happy catharsis in the final stage!
Su Dong even rushed out of the stadium and swung his fist at the fans in the stands.

Seeing this, Heynckes punched again and again excitedly, looking extremely excited.

One to zero, Bayern scored three points!
And this is already two times in a row Su Dong came off the bench to save Bayern!

…………

…………

When Su Dong was in Munich, he used an amazing kick to break the Cologne team's goal and brought Bayern a three-pointer. The news quickly spread all over the world after the game, especially the video of Su Dong shooting, which was even more popular.

That night, at the Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, England, the eighth round of the Premier League match was being held. Aston Villa played against Manchester City at home.

There was a scene very similar to that of Bayern Munich against Cologne. Manchester City completely took advantage of passing and possession, but failed to open up the situation on the field.

In the 15th minute, central defender Dunn, who was sold to Aston Villa by Guardiola, used a corner kick to open the scoring for Aston Villa.

After that, Aston Villa defended strictly and let Manchester City have the ball, but tried to keep the goal.

Manchester City's ball control ability is very good, reaching 60.00%[-], but in terms of creating offensive opportunities, it is not as good as Aston Villa. This is also the normal state of Manchester City under Guardiola this season.

Excellent ball control, not sharp enough offensively, especially lack of scoring ability.

The two wings formed by Di Maria and Sanchez are very good. They can tear the defense line, but it is difficult to convert it into goals.

Santa Cruz wasted at least two chances in this one.

You know, Manchester City's ability to create opportunities is not very strong. If two good opportunities were wasted, how can they score?

In the end, Manchester City lost [-]-[-] away.

This is already Manchester City's fifth defeat this season.

Three wins and five losses in eight games, this is the answer given by Guardiola at the beginning of the Premier League.

Regarding this result, Guardiola himself was very depressed, shaking his head on the sidelines, but he was helpless.

It is estimated that after this game is over, the media will question him again, thinking that he should not let Dunn go.

He's used to it.

For example, after playing Arsenal, the media believed that he should have introduced Adebayor and Kolo Toure in the first place.

After playing Manchester United, the media believed that he should have poached Carlos Tevez in the first place.

The team's goals dropped sharply, and the media felt that he should not let Robinho go.

Too many afterthoughts have already made Guardiola fatigued.

But it's true that he's under a lot of performance pressure.

After eight rounds, Manchester City ranked No.12 in the Premier League standings, such a result is unsatisfactory.

If nothing else, Guardiola himself felt annoyed.

……

When the game ended, in the Manchester City office at the Manchester City Stadium, Mubarak, Soriano and Begiristan were all watching the live broadcast, and also saw the close-up of Guardiola, and even saw the frustration of the players.

They were also disappointed.

Manchester City have been particularly strange this season.

It stands to reason that with a huge investment, the overall strength should not be weak.

In fact, the team's ball possession ability is indeed very good. Even against a team like Arsenal, Manchester City can grab 60.00% of the ball possession rate. It is conceivable that Manchester City's technical and tactical content is very high.

On the other hand, the possession rate is high, but the team has few threatening offenses, not many shots, but very few goals.

What's more interesting is that the wing attack is very active. Di Maria and Sanchez performed well on both wings, and there are a lot of dribbles, and the conversion efficiency is very low.

"We can't let the team continue like this!" Mubarak was dissatisfied with the team's performance.

Not only is he dissatisfied, Mansur is equally dissatisfied.

So much money has been invested, but the results are so bad?
What is the use of only possession of the ball?

It looks good, can I eat it?

In competitive sports, after all, it still depends on performance. If you have no grades, no matter how good you play, is it useful to be relegated?

"Guardiola said that the team's problem lies in the offense. He is adjusting. Di Maria and Sanchez are newcomers, and Santa Cruz is also a new aid. It takes a little time to integrate." Begiristan is also under pressure.

Guardiola is still recommended by him.

If Guardiola steps down, then he, the technical director, will probably suffer as well.

"The boss has spoken." Mubarak said solemnly.

Soriano and Begiristan also followed suit, and they both knew that the boss's words were unusual.

"He believes in your professional judgment and hopes that the team can improve its offense, so he asked us to win Sudong no matter what, and we can't delay any longer!" Mubarak said loudly.

"No matter how much it costs, no matter what the cost, we will sign him!"

　Sorry, something happened at home recently.
