I Want to Be the King of Football

On the evening of March 24, I went to Schalke Stadium proudly.

In the German Cup semi-final, Schalke 04 hosts Bayern.

Schalke took advantage of the home court advantage at the beginning of the game, launched a fierce attack on Bayern, and created a very good opportunity in the sixth minute. Kuranyi quickly counterattacked and passed the ball, Baumjohn kicked low He shot and was caught by Neuer.

Facing his old club, the Bayern goalkeeper showed no mercy at all, and quickly threw the ball to Ram, instigating a counterattack.

Lahm dribbled the ball along the right and quickly passed the ball to Robben in front.

When the Dutchman stopped the ball, in the face of Westerman's defense, after a fake move, he forced the ball to break through, used his speed abruptly, and brought the ball along the right to the 30-meter area of ​​Schalke 04 before being caught. catch up.

After an emergency stop, Robben glanced at the middle road, skillfully clasped the ball with his left foot, turned inward, and sent an oblique pass from the inside of his left foot, directly passing the ball to the front of the penalty area.

I saw Su Dong sprinting forward quickly, ahead of Schalke 04's central defender Hevedes, the probe tipped the ball forward and entered the big penalty area, he accelerated to catch up and bounced back to the ground. football, a straight shot.

The ball went straight to the bottom of the goal net with a thunderous momentum, and the goalkeeper couldn't reach it.

...

After Su Dong opened the scoring, the two teams still played very unrestrainedly.

Schalke's goal is to score goals, and although Bayern seeks stability on the road, it is not too much.

The two teams came and went, the ball changed hands back and forth, the game was very intense and the rhythm was fast.

In the tenth minute, in front of the penalty area, Su Dong blocked the defender with his body, received a long pass from the backcourt, stopped the ball, turned around and sent a kick behind him.

Robben slanted from the right rib and formed a single-handed shot after catching the ball, but the shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, missing the opportunity to score.

The Dutch looked very depressed.

In fact, he also got opportunities, but there is a very obvious gap between the shooting efficiency and Su Dong.

...

After that, there was a stalemate between the two sides, and no one was able to create a good opportunity.

Until the 20th minute, after receiving an oblique pass from Schweinsteiger on the left, Ribery suddenly cut in, and after passing the defender one after another, he rushed directly to the bottom line of the penalty area and picked the ball to in front of the door.

Su Dong used his body to knock off Hevedes, forcibly rushed to the goal, overwhelmed all the defenders, and headed the goal from close range.

The ball was directly pushed into the close goal by Su Dong, 2-0!

...

After taking a two-goal lead, Bayern continued to play steadily.

Schalke 04 tried to counterattack, but was afraid of Bayern's counterattack.

After changing sides in the second half, Schalke played a rush for ten minutes after the opening game. Rakitic, Kuranyi and other players also got the opportunity to start, but failed to score.

Bayern then used a counterattack. After Su Dong retreated to respond, he dribbled the ball forward to instigate the attack, and passed it diagonally to Robben.

The Dutchman dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the right, crossed to the back point, and Ribery's follow-up shot hit the side net.

Although this counterattack did not score a goal, it shocked Schalke 04.

Until the end of the game, it was another quick counterattack by Bayern. Su Dong distributed the ball to Robben on the right in time, and attracted the attention of the defensive players in the middle.

Robben dribbled the ball along the right flank. After passing Schalke and two players, he broke into the right side of the penalty area, dunked Moritz, volleyed with his left foot and hit the far corner to seal the victory for Bayern. than zero!

In the end, with Su Dong's brace and Robben's goal, Bayern defeated Schalke 04 3-0 and successfully advanced to the German Cup final.

In another game, Werder Bremen defeated Augsburg with goals from Pizarro and Marin and joined Bayern in the final.

On March 27, in the twenty-eighth round of the Bundesliga, Bayern played at home against Stuttgart.

The first half was deadlocked for nearly half an hour, until the twenty-eighth minute,

Pepe inserted a long pass and found Su Dong.

Su Dong divided the ball to the left, handed it to Tony Cross, and turned around and moved forward quickly.

Tony Kroos got the ball, sent an oblique pass, and accurately found Su Dong who moved forward into the penalty area.

Su Dong volleyed a shot from close range and broke Stuttgart's goal, 1-0!

Just four minutes later, Bayern scored the ball from the middle to the left, and Contento, who replaced Marcelo's starting pass, found Toni Kroos in front, who sent another cross from the left side of the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Su Dong volleyed and broke Stuttgart's goal again, further expanding the score for Bayern, 2-0!

...

Since midweek is about to go to Manchester to challenge Manchester United, Bayern has almost exhausted most of the bench in this battle.

With a 2-0 lead in the first half, Su Dong and Pepe were substituted at halftime.

Unexpectedly, after changing sides in the second half, in the 46th and 50th minutes, Stuttgart took advantage of Bayern's unsteady footing and scored two goals in a row to successfully equalize the score.

This seriously disrupted Heynckes' deployment. Although Robben and Ribery subsequently came off the bench, Bayern was finally tied 2-2 by Stuttgart at home and failed to take all three points.

After the game, Heynckes publicly admitted that he made mistakes in the control of the game, but he believes that this will not affect the overall situation of the team. He believes that Bayern can play in the Champions League in midweek and at Old Trafford Stadium. , get a satisfactory result.

Heynckes is a very bad old man!

On a flight back to the UK from Germany, Ferguson complained to his brother Martin Ferguson, who was sitting next to him.

With the improvement of Bayern's performance, Heynckes, who had fallen into darkness in his career, was completely resurrected and became the hottest coach in European football. Many people even began to rush to support him.

Ferguson's evaluation of Heynckes is not low, but not as high as the outside world has been rumored.

Heynckes has his own strengths, but also his weaknesses, and his most obvious strength is stability.

Really steady as an old dog!

No matter what the game was, he was able to line up his troops in an even and steady manner without making obvious mistakes.

For a team like Bayern, especially with a top attacker like Su Dong, as long as the team does not make mistakes, the possibility of the opponent making mistakes is very high, and Bayern winning is a high probability event.

This is the biggest advantage of having a top scorer like Su Dong.

Waterproof, that's the Heynckes label.

Even before the game, he seemed to have long guessed that Ferguson would come to spy on the military situation, so he deliberately broke up the Trident and some players, so that Ferguson would not see Su Dong, Ribery and Robben playing together on the spot. scene.

Hmph, I can't guess what this old guy thinks about playing this game? Ferguson laughed smugly.

Since this season, the state of Ferdinand and Vidic has declined significantly, and Bayern's two wings Ribery and Robben are both very sharp, plus a Sudong, our defense will be very difficult. Martin. Ferguson said without worry.

Ferguson looked at the younger brother who looked very much like him and smiled.

No matter how strong the flank is, you are the flank. After all, you still have to go to the middle to score goals, so you see Stuttgart completely lost on the flanks in the second half, but did Bayern score?

Martin Ferguson came to a realization.

Bayern's offensive core is only Su Dong. No matter how strong Ribery and Robben are on the side, if there is no center, their threat will be greatly reduced. In terms of scoring ability, they are not strong.

Ferguson's reference standard is obviously Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, the world's top level, otherwise, Ribery and Robben's attack power can be regarded as world-class stars.

But it's also the most troublesome. When Ferdinand and Vidic were at their peak, they couldn't hold Su Dong, but now they can? Martin Ferguson was still a little anxious.

Ferguson was chewing gum, still smiling, So, when you touch Bayern, you can't always think about defense, you can't defend, Heynckes' tactics are too stable, you spend with them, your defense will sooner or later. They are all going to be attacked by Su Dong.

So... Martin Ferguson vaguely guessed something.

Ferguson narrowed his eyes, So, don't fight with Bayern, and win by surprise.

This is also some experience and experience Ferguson got after losing a few games.

In the face of a stable team like Bayern, if you seek stability like him, the game will become a stalemate and become a war of attrition, and Su Dong's superb personal ability often works wonders in this stalemate.

Therefore, in the face of Bayern, being conservative is equivalent to chronic suicide.

Of course, a blind attack will lead to a worse death, which has been confirmed by countless precedents.

But Manchester United is different. The Red Devils not only have strength, but also will not be blind.

Bayern has a natural flaw, and has had it for several years, and that is Marcelo on the left.

The Brazilian defender is notoriously weak in attack and defense. Even in one-on-one defense, he is not very reliable, not to mention that he often moves forward to participate in the attack, and even uses himself as a winger.

It can be said that playing behind Marcelo is an offensive strategy that all teams will consider when facing Bayern.

The difference is that some teams will take advantage of it and others will use it to create smoke.

Ferguson also played this side, so he knew the effect.

If you want to talk about Bayern's defense, the most obvious weakness is the left flank, which is also the area where Ferguson is most confident to make a breakthrough, but Manchester United have not used it very well in the past few times.

But this time, Ferguson felt, it would be a pivotal point.

After many years of coaching, Ferguson has become more and more aware that there is no fixed pattern for the coach's formation.

Sometimes conventional play and surprise victory are simply two sides of the same coin. The key lies in grasping the favorable fighters and how to expand the results.

Against a team like Bayern, it is basically impossible to have a long-term stalemate. Players such as Sudong, Ribery and Robben may change the situation and turn the situation around at any time. Therefore, Manchester United must seize it from the very beginning. Fighter, expand the advantage, and then tilt the scale of victory.

Ferguson has already made up his mind about this!
