Chapter 552 Everyone has their own merits, look forward to sniping!
Although Leeds United's strong attack after speeding up created a threat, it was not able to deliver a fatal blow.
Bayern Munich took the lead in launching new changes in the counterattack.
In the 17th minute of the game, Deisler made a pass from the left.
Badstuber finally made a difference on the defensive line, beating Suarez to complete a header clearance.
And he just hit the ball in the direction of Ram.
Deisler immediately returned to defense and began to press, and Kaka also rushed to the wing immediately.
Ram unloaded the ball from his chest. If he controlled the ball on the spot, he would be flanked.
Every time the ball is handled in a top-level competition, it is almost a matter of seconds.
Lahm didn't wait for the football to hit the ground and kicked the ball directly to Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Modric quickly started to press behind him, but Schweinsteiger stopped the ball and then passed the ball back.
Surrounded by Suarez, Kaká and Deisler, Lahm moved from the wing to the center of the backline.
There was a slight deviation in Leeds United's marking target, which resulted in Lahm being able to stop the ball and then send a medium and long pass on the spot.
The football flies towards the center circle.
This point of Gomez's fulcrum role today is obvious.
Due to the gap between the field control ability and Leeds United, and the defensive pressure brought by Leeds United's high press, Bayern Munich's overall formation was passive in retreating.
Therefore, it is difficult for Gomez to act as a header threat as a high center forward in the Leeds United penalty area, so he must play a fulcrum role.
Otherwise, why bother with him?
Van Gaal clearly prepared for the worst of the situation.
Therefore, Gomez's tactical task arrangement is very good.
Kanter has nothing to do with Gomez's aerial and confrontational advantages.
And he couldn't predict in advance whether Gomez, the fulcrum, would play the ball for Ribery or Robben.
When Gomez headed the ball to the wing.
Ribery moved from the left to the center, widening the distance from Kyle Walker, and Kanter immediately came towards him.
After stopping the ball, Ribery flicked his ankle and the football rolled behind Kanter.
When Kante turned around, he saw Thomas Muller running forward quickly, stopping and facing the Leeds United backline.
Without waiting for Thiago Silva and Hummels to make defensive adjustments.
Thomas Muller passed the ball diagonally into the open space between the two.
Thiago Silva and Hummels subconsciously closed the door to defend.
But the fast-moving Peter Pan Robben was the first to pass the ball between the two!
Go to the meeting alone!
The two men turned around and gave chase, but it was still too late.
After nearly single striker challenging the opponent's defense in the World Cup final, Robben has obviously improved his offensive consciousness.
He will not stick to the wing or simply switch positions with Ribery on the wing.
Seeing Neuer attack outside the penalty area.
Robben directly hit a light shot.
This situation is very similar to when he faced Casillas in the World Cup final.
The difference is that at that time Robben chose to pass the ball to Sneijder, but now that he is more experienced and confident, he chose to shoot directly.
Neuer looked at the height at which the football flew, knowing that there was nothing he could do. He turned around and saw the football falling into the goal along a light parabola!
The white-clothed temple shook violently!
Bayern Munich fans roared wildly!
"The ball is in! Robben scored with a single shot!"
"Bayern Munich's offensive display is both pleasing to the eye and lightning-fast teamwork. Lahm is so crucial!"
"Yes, it can be said that Lahm plays the role of an offensive organizer on the back line. This situation cannot be seen in the Bundesliga."
"Because no team in the Bundesliga can beat Bayern Munich!"
Robben rushed to the sidelines to celebrate without being overly showy.
But the camera quickly locked on Shen Hao's face.
The local commentators in England were mocking Shen Hao: "Robben was once a star of Leeds United, and he also completed his transformation when the Dutch team won the World Cup. This is all the work of the tyrant in white!"
Robben at his peak is qualified to become a god.
Shen Hao pointed at Kanter and gave him instructions.
After seeing this, Kanter nodded to Shen Hao in response.
Shen Hao looked at the Leeds United strikers again and gave them instructions.
Van Gaal was excited by Robben's goal, but quickly calmed down.
He knew that this battle, which lasted for at least 180 minutes, had only just begun.
Leeds United further accelerated after the kick-off and soon reached the limit of the fast pace they could control the game.
This will increase the intensity of their defensive press.
Bayern Munich still tightened the defense in the middle to avoid being penetrated by Kaká and Modric or delivering threatening balls.
In the fast-paced transition between offense and defense, both teams must be perfect in every link if they want to threaten. If there is a problem in any link, the success will be undone.
This can occasionally make things confusing.
But both Leeds United and Bayern Munich are also capable of readjusting in a short time.
In the 25th minute of the game, Gareth Bale once again tried a long shot from the outside, but this time Badstuber used his body to block the ball in the penalty area.
Thomas Muller tried to head the ball directly to the wing in the middle of the backcourt.
As a result, the ball went to the left wing instead of giving away the ball.
Kyle Walker stepped in at the right time, passed the ball back to the center first, and immediately retreated after releasing the ball.
Modric took the initiative and completed a vertical collision with Gareth Bale. He came to the area outside the penalty area and near the wing.
Planic had just begun to press, but Modric had already sent the ball diagonally into the right flank of the penalty area.
Badstuber turned around and saw Suarez making a diagonal response.
He quickly rushed to seal the inside line.
But Suarez took the initiative to pass the ball to the side and then passed the ball back.
When Badstuber turned around, he saw Gareth Bale cut inside and the ball passed him in a different direction, like a sharp knife piercing the heart of Bayern Munich.
When Gustavo and Tymoshchuk teamed up to flank him, Kraft also attacked to block his frontal shooting angle.
Gareth Bale passed the ball back in an inverted triangle like a dragonfly.
The football rolled between Tymoshchuk and Gustavo.
The two of them braked and turned around, and what they saw was Kaka rushing into the penalty area to meet the ball and directly hit the ball with a push.
The football rolled past Gustavo, and his leg extension to intercept was obviously slow and he couldn't keep up!
Kraft had no time to make another save.
Ram rushed towards the goal and put down a tackle in an attempt to make a maximum clearance.
But in the end it was still a step too slow.
After the football rolled into the goal, Ram also slid into the goal!
"Kaka! The young man in white has stood up again. How can we miss out on his performance in the peak showdown?!"
"This wave of Leeds United's teamwork is simply wonderful. Suarez's proactive response in the penalty area allowed Leeds United to penetrate the depth of Bayern Munich's defense. In the subsequent defensive adjustments, Bayern Munich originally seemed tight and solid. There was a gap in the defense.”
"Gareth Bale's assist also shows that at the same time, if it were last season, he would have shot it himself, but this time he chose to give the opportunity to Kaká, who was more confident."
"Leeds United equalized the score, but considering the Champions League knockout format, a 1:1 draw must mean that Leeds United is actually still behind Bayern Munich."
Van Gaal looked a little ugly.
If you look back at Leeds United two years ago, the current team in white must be completely different.
From the defensive line to the forward line, there are major personnel changes.
And it’s more than half the team.
But in terms of offense, Leeds United is very strong in terms of field control, organization, individuals, and teams.
This terrifying replacement efficiency is unimaginable.
Amid the cheers of the fans in white, Shen Hao just clapped his hands and applauded without showing too much excitement.
He always trusted his hunch.
Bayern Munich can certainly still create pressure and threats to the Leeds United defense.
What exactly it is, he needs to observe calmly, instead of being dazzled by the joy of scoring and relaxing his vigilance.
When Bayern Munich was once again able to complete a fast and smooth team advance from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Schweinsteiger's through ball to Robben penetrated the Leeds United defense. The next scene was incredible to all the viewers. !
It is normal for Thiago Silva and Hummels to turn around and pursue.
But while Robben was countering the offside attack, Kanter was able to speed up to the peak in the return defense and run wildly to chase, almost keeping pace with Robben.
This means that Kanter does not turn around to pursue, but at least starts sideways, and can directly accelerate to peak speed in a short period of time.
Although Robben was the first to touch the ball, when he stopped and changed the direction of the ball in an attempt to get away from Kante, Kante stretched his leg and kicked the ball into his own penalty area.
As soon as Neuer broke out of the penalty area, he turned around and ran towards his own goal.
It looks very dangerous, and Kante is in danger of causing an own goal.
But it's actually pretty safe.
Neuer ran to the penalty spot and completed the ball.
As long as he doesn't make a mistake with the ball and kick the ball into his own goal, there will be no problem.
Bayern Munich fans sighed.
At the same time, he is also wary of Kanter's defense.
3 minutes later, when Planic delivered an overhead pass from the backcourt.
Ribery succeeded in countering offside and cutting in, but this time, a similar scene appeared again!
With the inward rotation of the football, it bounced closer to the inside, which allowed Kanter to touch the ball first during the pursuit. This time, he passed the ball back to Neuer more securely.
Ribery took advantage of the situation to attack Neuer, who accelerated the ball and changed its direction to allow Ribery to miss, and then accurately passed the ball to Kyle Walker.
The camera locked on Kanter.
The French little black egg destroyed Bayern Munich's excellent offensive opportunity with two wonderful return interceptions.
Van Gaal's face turned a little pale.
Two excellent offensive opportunities are equivalent to two goals!
In the 37th minute of the game, Leeds United's frontcourt offense was more patient this time.
However, when Modric and Kaka pressed forward to the right of the penalty area, Bayern Munich's defense tilted towards Badstuber.
Tymoshchuk, Bastian Schweinsteiger, plus Thomas Muller.
Three against two, plus Planic shrinking to the middle.
There is basically no space left to penetrate Bad Stuber's defense zone.
But what surprised Bayern Munich's defense was that Gareth Bale suddenly retreated and was positioned deeper than Modric.
After receiving Kaka's return pass, Gareth Bale made a direct left-footed pass.
A diagonal pass over the top, with the football flying in the air over the heads of Bayern Munich's back line and spinning inwards.
Deisler cut inside the left side of the penalty area. Gustavo turned around and chased back. Just one meter away, Deisler raised his leg to volley and shoot!
The football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal.
Kraft flew to the limit to save but still missed by a hair.
The moment the football flies into the goal.
Leeds United fans cheer wildly!
Shen Hao on the sidelines also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"The ball went in! Gareth Bale assisted Deisler to score!"
"This is another extremely wonderful teamwork. Although it is not a dazzling frequency of passing and cutting movements, we can clearly see the containment effect of Leeds United after pressing Badstuber in front to form a strong deterrent, which forced Bayern to Munich's defense showed holes."
"Leeds United overtakes the score! Leading Bayern Munich 2:1!"
"The gap in the defensive strength of the two teams has been clearly reflected in the past period of time."
"Yes, Bayern Munich also created an excellent offensive opportunity, but it was resolved by Leeds United's midfielder Kante, while Leeds United's offense was able to penetrate Bayern Munich's defense!"
Van Gaal was expressionless.
Leeds United's offensive methods are not only rich, but also the players' roles can be switched flexibly.
The tactical thinking is extremely unified and the cooperation is tacit.
He is worthy of being the dominant player in European football today!
Shen Hao looked at the time and saw that the first half was coming to an end.
Leeds United's offense converged and they strengthened their control.
If Bayern Munich attacks aggressively, Leeds United may be able to seize the opportunity to score another victory.
But obviously Bayern Munich was not enthusiastic. Even though they began to have a better organizational offensive environment, they still created threats through their two wingers.
Ribery and Robben each hit a long shot of average quality outside the penalty area.
Leeds United was also able to create shots in the positional battle. Suarez's shot in the penalty area was saved by Kraft.
Kaka's free kick slid past the goal.
The first half of the game came to an end.
Leeds United leads Bayern Munich 2:1.
Shen Hao walked into the players tunnel, worried.
Leeds United adopted a proactive style of play from the dominant position.
You can only see how your opponent moves.
It can be said that it is difficult for opponents within the Premier League to bring unexpected impact to Leeds United at the technical and tactical level.
Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea may have conservative tactical styles, deeply ingrained traditional thinking, or insufficient personnel configuration.
The room for performance is within expectations.
But rivals from giant clubs outside the Premier League are different.
With both strength and technical and tactical thinking, they are completely different from most of the top teams in the Premier League.
Although each has its own merits, Leeds United will also be slightly passive in dealing with it.
The main thing is that Leeds United are young.
If they are a group of veterans who have seen the world, they can be almost invulnerable.
Every team has its own problems, and the problems vary greatly depending on their location and environment.
Now that Leeds United has a high lower limit, their problems will take more time to solve.
It is impossible for Shen Hao to turn Hummels and Kyle Walker into experienced veterans in a short time.
However, as long as there are no problems with Leeds United's offensive system, Shen Hao will not panic.
In fact, he actually hopes that Bayern Munich can play some alternative and exciting offensives, which can also accelerate the growth of Leeds United.
