Chapter 1322 Rong's Counterattack
"Rong—!" Marcel Levra yelled with a long voice, which sounded like an air raid siren, screaming heart-piercingly.

As a German commentator, he is very familiar with Rongguang.He knows exactly what the current situation means.

It means that glory will be transformed into a sharp dagger, easily piercing into Bayern Munich's chest!

Rong Guang sent the football to the penalty area, and now only Schweinsteiger and goalkeeper Neuer were left in front of him.

Out of his understanding of Rongguang, Schweinsteiger quickly retreated when he saw Rongguang rushing over instead of going forward.

If he went forward, he would be left behind by Rongguang's acceleration just like Contento.

But now he could continue to stand in front of Rong Guang anyway.

The Manchester City fans in the stands were cheering desperately, while the Bayern Munich fans were cheering for their team.

But in fact, they knew in their hearts that the current situation was already very dangerous.

Who is holding the ball now?
It's an honor!

It is an honor they are all too familiar with!

※※※

Schweinsteiger was nervous in the face of Glory.

If you can't complete the defense successfully, you may lose the ball.

Is it pasted or continue to retreat?

But Rong Guang didn't give him the chance to continue to hesitate. Facing Schweinsteiger's frontal defense, Rong Guang just used the outer instep of his right foot to push the football slightly to the outside, and then accelerated!
It was as simple as that, he dribbled the ball into the box.

Neuer also quickly attacked, intending to attack Rongguang back and forth with his teammates following Rongguang, forcing him to miss the football.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper Neuer, Rong Guang swung his right foot and made a shooting motion.

Neuer quickly fell to the ground and stretched out his hands and threw himself at the football.

But Rong Guang was just a fake move. He gently moved the football to the outside with the outer instep of his right foot, allowing the football to avoid Neuer's ten fingers.

Then he sped past Neuer and chased the football.

Schweinsteiger jumped over Neuer from the inside and continued to chase glory.

Outside Rongguang, Contento has not given up yet, he tried to reach out and lift Rongguang's shoulder.

Rongguang caught up with football, but the angle of the shot also became very small.

Rong Guang didn't because of it, just swung his right foot and kicked the goal!

This time it was a real shot!

At the same time that Rong Guang shot, Schweinsteiger also flew out and shoveled out, intending to block Rong Guang's shot with his own legs.

But he was too late, the ball rolled over his toes, then over the line and into the goal...

"The ball went in—!!!" John Mortensen shouted to the sky.

※※※

"Rong! Rong! Rong——! The goal is scored! Alas!" Marcel Leif couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then fell silent.

The Bayern Munich fans in the stands at the Allianz Arena also fell silent.

This is a result they could have expected, but when this scene actually happened, many people still found it hard to accept.

They were scored by Glory!

It is not the first time that Rongguang has sent football into Bayern Munich's goal.

But this time... it was the most painful for them.

※※※

The glory after scoring the goal did not celebrate either. The inertia made him rush all the way to the billboard behind the baseline before stopping.

The Allianz Arena was originally designed and built with reference to the English stadium, so the auditorium at the Allianz Arena is very close to the stadium area, with only a billboard between the two.

So now Rongguang has the closest contact with Bayern Munich fans.

He lay on the billboard, stopped his body, and the Bayern Munich fans were half a meter away from him.

When Rong Guang looked up, he saw a stunned face.

It was an elderly Bayern Munich fan with gray hair at the temples. He seemed unable to accept the reality of the team conceding the ball. He stared blankly at the glory that was close at hand, his eyes dull and unfocused.

Rong Guang supported the billboard with both hands, and then retreated his body.

Next, he turned around and ran back to the court.

And his teammates have already swarmed, pounced on him, and drowned him in an instant.

Manchester City's players started their celebrations in front of Bayern Munich fans.

Rong Guang did not celebrate the goal. He was hugged by his teammates throughout the process. He did not raise his arms to wave, nor did he hug his teammates.

He is passive.

When his teammates finally finished celebrating and ran back, Rong Guang turned to look at the old fan again.

He sat in his seat, holding his head in his hands, he could only see the sloping top of his head, but not his expression.

But Rong Guang knew that this old fan must be in pain.

The same person, four years ago, when he scored a goal, must have been elated and cheering.

but……

Who can blame this?
Rong Guang looked away, and ran towards Manchester City's half with his teammates.

He doesn't run fast, but his steps are light.

His Manchester City team-mates clustered around him, all smiles on their faces.

This scene stung many Bayern Munich fans in the stands.

Because once upon a time, they often saw such a scene. At that time, Rongguang was wearing a Bayern Munich jersey, and surrounded by Bayern Munich players.

But now everything has changed.

People change, jerseys change.

※※※

Marcel Leif turned off the microphone in the commentary booth, then sighed, and muttered to himself: "I just knew it, I just knew it, I just knew it..."

From the moment Rongguang left Bayern Munich, he knew that there would be such a day waiting for him at some point in the future.

Now, that day has come.

Then he turned on the microphone again and said: "Manchester City took the lead! This time it was a textbook quick counterattack! Taking advantage of Bayern Munich's opportunity to serve a corner kick, Manchester City completed the attack with only three people. The last goal was Rong, who is very familiar to Bayern Munich fans. At the same time, this is also his No. 16 goal in the Champions League this season!"

His tone has returned to normal, and no one can hear that he was melancholy before, and no one can feel that he has turned off the microphone.

"Now Rong is only one goal away from the record of [-] goals he created in a single season in the Champions League. If he can continue to score, then he will tie this record. I think Bayern Munich fans must be familiar with this record, because this record was created when Rong was playing for Bayern Munich. In that season, Rong helped Bayern Munich win the Champions League. No, I don’t know how the fans of Bayern Munich feel... No, what I want to ask most now is what the general manager of Bayern Munich, Mr. Hoeness, thinks..."

The TV broadcast also quickly cut to the rostrum, giving Hoeness a close-up.

Hoeness in the camera has a calm face, showing no expression at all.

But his heart is definitely not as peaceful as he has shown.

Because his team is behind!

※※※

Rongguang's goal helped Manchester City take the lead in the score, which was very bad news for Van Gaal, so after seeing the glorious goal, Van Gaal jumped up from his seat excitedly, rushed to the sidelines, and roared inside.

He was so angry that even swear words came out.

Because he knows very well that if Manchester City takes the lead, Bayern Munich's defensive counterattack tactics will not work.

The prerequisite for defensive counterattack is not to lose the ball. It would be even better if you can still lead.

But as long as you are behind in the score, this tactic will not work.

When the score is behind, if you continue to defend and counterattack, you will be in the arms of Manchester City.

If Bayern Munich does not attack, or invests little in the attack, Manchester City is also happy to defend. Anyway, they are leading now, even if they do not score after that, as long as they can maintain this score until the end, they will also win.

But Bayern Munich can't do it.They have to attack, at least to equalize the score, only in this way can they continue to maintain the balance.

However, Van Gaal did not lose his composure, nor was he panicked by the loss of the ball.

He was angry, but the anger didn't burn his sanity.

If you attack now, it will only allow Manchester City to seize the opportunity to make another victory before the end of the first half...then the game will be over.

So after venting his anger, Van Gaal did not wave his hand and let the team aggressively press the offense, but kept the existing tactics unchanged, or defended and counterattacked.Before the end of the first half, first of all, you can't continue to concede the ball, and then if you have the opportunity, try to counterattack.

After the game restarted, Manchester City did not intend to take advantage of the morale of the goal to launch a fierce offensive against Bayern Munich's goal. Benitez also knew very well that if the opponent was also playing a defensive counterattack, then what they hoped most was to see Manchester City aggressively press the attack.

At times like this, stability trumps everything.

Anyway, a goal lead is also a good result.

As a head coach who insists on defensive counterattack tactics, Benitez has no resistance to the "1:0 doctrine".As long as he can win, he doesn't care if it looks good or not.

For so many years, with this idea in mind, he has achieved great success at Manchester City.

Since Bayern Munich does not plan to attack, Manchester City is not in a hurry, and they are not still playing the game according to the previous rhythm.

The scene of the game returned to a dull state again, until the end of the first half, no one scored again.

Rong Guang's quick counterattack goal became the only bright spot in the first half.
