Chapter 444 Swimming Pool and Basketball Team

"The game has officially started, and both sides have sent the strongest lineups they can deploy..."

Zhan Tianjun of Sina Sports started the late-night live broadcast with his slightly hoarse voice.

Known as the "Living Dictionary of the Premier League", although he is more familiar with the Premier League teams, as long as he is a football commentator, he should be very familiar with top giants such as Bayern and Barcelona.

As soon as the game started, he took out his own data:

"In Bayern's past 20 home games in the Champions League, they have won all without exception, while Barcelona have lost more away games in the knockout rounds and only won one of their 15 away games, even if they won in 2009. At the peak of the six crowns, the away games of that season were still stumbled. I don’t know if they can rewrite this slightly embarrassing result at the Allianz Arena today. Well, let’s take a look at Barcelona’s offense!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the special guest Zhang Lu asked a question:
"This... today's venue, there is a lot of water! There are waves near the middle circle!"

Although Director Zhang is over [-] years old, as a former professional goalkeeper, he can see at a glance that the situation of the field is not ideal.

Zhan Tianjun was taken aback for a moment, then thought of a possibility:
"Could it be a deliberate attempt to limit Barcelona's quick ground passes?"

"It's not raining, is it?"

"No, the real-time temperature in Munich is 16 degrees Celsius. The weather is sunny and suitable for playing football."

"Hey Hey……"

The iconic laughter echoed in the commentary room, Zhang Lu shook his head:

"It seems that Bayern has done some tricks. Although it falls within the scope of the rules, it always feels a little..."
-
"Whoa!"

As soon as Messi passed the ball back to Xavi, it caused a splash.

He couldn't help frowning.

When warming up before, because both sides were only active in their respective halfs, he didn't notice that there was so much water in the area near the middle circle!

Such a venue is bound to have a serious impact on the fast delivery that Barcelona is best at, and will slow down their advancement.

Barcelona's players are almost all guys with high golf quotients. They only passed the ball a few times before they understood the opponent's intentions, but they had nothing to do.

The stagnant water in the middle circle will limit Barcelona's speed, but it has almost no impact on Bayern, because their offense is mainly through long passes to find the sideways to advance!
-
Since the field is not suitable for rapid advancement, Barcelona is not impatient. They firmly control the ball through continuous short passes, gradually mobilizing Bayern's midfielders, and then slowly penetrate forward.

In the 5th minute, Messi touched the ball for the second time - the first time at kick-off...

Before he could turn around completely, he was knocked out of position by Ribery who retreated to defend!
The football rolled to Schweinsteiger's feet, and the Bayern vice-captain didn't even observe the position of his teammates, so he directly kicked a long pass!
This is a style of play that he has been very familiar with for a long time. The football found Robben accurately. The Dutchman took the ball and headed forward along the dry and comfortable right side. On his way, there were hardly a few drops of water...

Of course, his teammates did not let Robben do it alone, Muller quickly approached him, Long Shute and Lahm also advanced from the rear at high speed, and immediately formed three support points around him.

In charge of Barcelona's left defense is the 24-year-old La Masia youth training product Jordi Alba. But it allowed Alba to get a lot of playing opportunities, and without any surprises, he occupied the main position-no way, because there is no one in Barcelona's defense line...

When Robben led a large group of Bayern players to the area in charge of Alba, Alba's mind suddenly became a little dazed. He actually watched the old man Luo and Mu Erwa cooperate with each other in front of him. But he couldn't even turn around!
Because Long Shute had already jumped in front of him!

He has no idea which one to defend!
After receiving the ball, Robben shot through the wing and directly hit the Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez with a low shot. After refraction, it popped out of the baseline, and Bayern won the first corner kick.

"This is Bayern's most common offensive method, a quick breakthrough from the right!"

Zhan Tianjun's voice sounded:

"In the past, Zhang Zhi also mentioned in his comments on Bayern's games. The reason why the right side will become Bayern's main attack point is that Robben, Long Shute, and Lahm. The abilities of these three players are all world-class. At the same level, once they join forces to launch an attack, almost no team can stop them."

Zhang Lu nodded:

"Yes, in fact, for ordinary opponents, only one of these three people is enough to create a threat, but today's opponent is Barcelona after all, so Long Shute and the others are very cautious. They launched a full-strength attack from the beginning. Let's take a look at this corner kick ..."

The corner kick from the right was naturally handed over to left-footer Robben. He glanced at the situation in the penalty area, raised his hands high, and made a gesture that only his teammates knew.

Tactic number one!
"Let's take a look at Barcelona's penalty area. The difference in altitude between the two sides is very obvious. In the entire Barcelona formation, apart from the goalkeeper Valdes, only Pique and Busquets are considered tall. The other players are generally less than 1.7 meters five. , in front of the tall and big Bayern players, almost everyone is a head shorter, and I am afraid it will be very difficult to defend the set ball..."

Zhang Lu said a fact that everyone knows.

That's right, everyone in this world who has watched Barcelona play knows that the height of this team is a big problem, especially the configuration of the center and frontcourt. It is almost eager to use 1.7 meters zero as a rigid indicator for the selection of starting players - height 1.8 Cesc Fabregas with a meter zero can only serve as a substitute for Xavi who is 1.7 meters zero...

But the fact is that this team, whose average height is not outstanding, is the one with the strongest overall strength in the past few years. Whether it is Manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea, none of these Premier League powerhouses who have exploded in height can compete with them. Barcelona took advantage of it!

Will Bayern do the same?
Robben made an arc with his left foot. Muller, Longscht and Schweinsteiger in the front did not grab it, and Gomez and Boateng in the middle did not seize the opportunity either. I can only look up and watch the ball fly past my head...

"Later!"

Just as Zhan Tianjun found the football track, he saw Brazilian defender Dante leaping high above Alves and headed the ball towards the goal with his explosive head!
"This ball is too wide!"

Zhang Lu's regretful voice didn't fall, and he immediately changed his words:

"This is passed to the door!"

"Thomas Müller! Header! The goal...goes in!"

Zhan Tianjun suddenly raised his voice, and the fans who stayed up late to watch the game were immediately refreshed!
"Only 6 minutes into the game, Bayern Munich went first! 1-0!"
-
"Wow haha!"

Muller, who opened the scoring for the team, let out an unconcealable laugh, and then he accelerated and performed a front flip in the corner flag area to pay tribute to the old man.

It's just that compared to Klose, the air fighter, Mu Erwa's somersaults are not at all elegant and unrestrained, but look like a monkey with hands and feet...

Followed by Long Shute, he pushed him to the ground:

"You kid is too crazy! Even dare to bully me?! Do you think you are a pommel horse athlete?!"

He has reason to be angry-because when Dante passed the header just now, he himself was also on the path of the ball, and he only needed to jump to change the path of the football.

But just when Long Shute's legs were slightly bent and he was about to jump, a huge force came from behind him!

Muller stretched out his hands directly, supported Long Shute on the shoulders, jumped up high with his strength, and then headed the ball in!
This idiot in jersey number 25...is using the two-time Ballon d'Or winner as a stepping stone!
Even dare to grab the ball that I, Long Ritian, is determined to win?

Are you, Mu Erwa, out of your wits? !
