Chapter 533: Bundesliga Overlord, that’s it?
One is the Premier League hegemon, and the other is the Bundesliga hegemon.
Judging from the strength of the lineup on paper, Manchester United and Bayern seem to be very close.
Therefore, before the game, most people believed that the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals would be a close game.
However, the direction of the game was unexpected.
Seeing "0-2" displayed on the scoreboard of the Allianz Arena, both the spectators in the stadium and the fans in front of the TV felt incredible.
Bayern, playing at home, not only failed to suppress the tired Red Devils, but were even beaten by Manchester United in less than thirty minutes and were forced to make substitutions? !
Is this still the invincible Bundesliga Nanda Kings team? !
Why is he so vulnerable? !
However, it is a home game after all,
Even in the difficult situation of being two goals behind, the fans still shouted loudly and cheered for the team as always.
After Heynckes asked Rafinha to temporarily play as a defensive midfielder and guard the center together with Javi Martinez, Bayern's defense in the center improved somewhat.
Whenever Ling Feng gets the ball, Rafinha will immediately follow him closely to prevent him from turning around and releasing the ball easily.
Although I was very shocked that I couldn't push Ling Feng.
However, Raphinha quickly thought of a solution that was not a solution.
If you can’t push it, then pull it!
Pull! !
pull! ! !
Anyway, as soon as he got close, he was between the two, which the referee couldn't see. He reached out and grabbed Ling Feng's jersey tightly to prevent him from taking the ball so easily.
Although such small actions have little impact, they are very annoying and can easily make people's mentality unbalanced.
However, Ling Feng has long been used to it.
He has also faced a defensive midfielder who is stronger than Raphinha;
He has also dealt with opponents dirtier than Raphinha!
So, he just used his speed to directly distance himself from Raphinha.
As Bayern made substitutions and changed formations, the overall formation shrank back and focused on defense first.
The away team, which was leading by two goals, was not in a hurry to attack. It just slowed down the offensive rhythm under Ling Feng's command.
After all, they were ahead in the score, and it was the other party that should be anxious, not themselves.
Besides, after pressing hard for half an hour, you need to take a break and let your body recover.
For a time, the situation on the field became very harmonious.
When the two sides get the ball, they only play some partial passing and receiving cooperation, or individual breakthroughs, and do not attack on a large scale.
The last ten minutes of the first half were wasted in this way.
Beep!
The whistle sounded at the end of the half-time game, and Bayern trailed the visiting team Manchester United by two goals at halftime at home!
Both Heynckes and the Bayern generals had their faces as deep as water and quickly left the field.
As for Manchester United, they walked to the sidelines talking and laughing.
The camera focused on Ling Feng, who put his arm around Kaku's shoulders, and the two of them were whispering as they walked to the sidelines.
"The best performer from both sides in the first half was definitely Manchester United's captain Ling Feng."
"He completed a pass and a shot, helping the team lead the Bundesliga by two goals on the road"
"It seemed like he was also satisfied with the team's performance in the first half"
As everyone knows, Ling Feng is not chatting and laughing with Kaku, but reviewing with him several wrong moves and wrong decisions in taking the ball in the first half:
"You should check the position of your teammates first before handling the ball."
"I told you, when shooting, look at the far corner and shoot at the near corner"
Under Ling Feng's guidance, Kaku, who was a head taller than him, just nodded frequently to show his understanding.
In the second half, the game changed sides and fought again.
The game whistle sounded, and Bayern made obvious changes after midfield adjustments.
No matter the number of participants in the attack or the mental outlook of the players, they have become very proactive and aggressive!
Obviously, after the halftime break, the Bayern general also realized that if he could not regain the score at home, the away game in the second leg would only be more difficult!
Therefore, they must attack! Must score!
Facing Bayern's ferocious offensive, Manchester United did not give up at all and chose to fight head-on!
Fight against each other?
I have fought against all the invincible Red Devils in the world and I have never been afraid of anyone!
As the two sides opened up their posture, the scene became more open and closed.
After picking up the pace of the game, both sides also had more offensive opportunities!
In the last second, Robben cut in with the ball on the right and completed a threatening shot that went slightly wide;
The next second, Lukaku received a scalpel pass from Ling Feng, successfully countered the offside, and then under Hummels' defense, he kicked the ball up to the second floor of the stands with a blast!
The two wing combinations on both sides are explosive inverted wingers.
Needless to say, the Robery combination.
Rashford and Lukaku are also players who need speed and explosiveness.
However, in comparison, Manchester United's midfield creativity and control are significantly stronger.
Bayern's two defensive midfielders Hama and Rafinha focused on restricting Ling Feng and did not dare to attack.
Muller is more like a second forward hiding behind Lewandowski, and is not very good at holding the ball and organizing.
Therefore, Bayern can only rely on Robery's personal breakthroughs on the wing to tear apart the defense and create offensive space and opportunities.
Looking at Manchester United, let alone Ling Feng, who is the best passer on the planet, Neves alone is enough to pass forward threatening passes.
Even Kanter has the ability to quickly advance and release the ball during transitions between offense and defense!
In this way, with the accelerated pace of offensive and defensive transitions, Manchester United can pass the ball to the players in the frontcourt faster than Bayern, and then launch a threatening attack!
It’s more layered than Bayern’s offense, with more people involved!
It was at that time that Manchester United also passed,
The game came to the 62nd minute, and Manchester United scored another victory!
After Ling Feng took the ball in the middle to attract the defense, he pushed the ball forward with the outside of his instep, and then used his strong explosive power to speed forward.
The next second, after receiving a one-two back pass from Lukaku, he once again passed the ball to Ibrahimovic with his back in front, played a one-two with him again, successfully broke through the dense defense in the middle, and reached the goal. The frontier of the restricted area!
Facing Ling Feng again, Hummels and Boateng had surprisingly the same ideas:
Don't make any moves!
As soon as you step out, you will be passed!
However, this time, Ling Feng chose to swing his legs and shoot!
Without giving the two of them a chance to step forward and block the shooting angle, Ling Feng directly kicked the ball and hit it hard in the middle!
The next second, only a "bang" was heard, and the ball instantly turned into a shell, whizzing past between Hummels and Boateng.
With the improvement of related attributes such as [End], [Long Shot], and [Shooting Power], Ling Feng can still shoot powerful long-range shots even within 30 meters of the goal where the [Victory Heavy Artillery] talent cannot take effect!
The ball was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it had already reached Bayern goalkeeper Ulreich.
I wipe it!
Ulreich could only subconsciously raise his hands, but he was unable to stop the ball from flying over his head and hitting the net!
The next second, the Allianz Arena was once again occupied by the cheers of the away team fans!
At the same time, the tens of thousands of home team fans in the audience seemed to have lost all their strength in an instant.
Looking at the Red Devils No. 7 who ran to the corner flag area and knelt down to celebrate, there was only pain and confusion on their faces.
At the Allianz Arena, they have always been the only ones to beat their opponents 3-0 and score all kinds of big scores! Because of this, the Allianz Arena is nicknamed the "Allianz Slaughterhouse" by many fans
Both Barcelona and Arsenal were once victims of the "Allianz Slaughterhouse".
However, now that they are losing goals one after another at their home court, they have turned from the slaughterer to the one being slaughtered!
This is of course hard to accept for fans who watch the team slaughter their opponents every week!
At the beginning of this season, the previous coach Carlo Ancelotti had a bad start and was dismissed quickly.
Heynckes came out to temporarily put out the fire and quickly stabilized the situation.
However, the contract renewal issues of Robery and his team and the injuries of many main players have put the team in a predicament of instability and insufficient lineup depth.
Although they are still invincible in the Bundesliga, they completed the defense of the league ahead of schedule.
However, coming to the Champions League stage and facing the most lethal Red Devils Manchester United in Europe, conceding the ball three times is not a strange thing.
Moreover, the No. 7 opposite is too perverted!

No matter how hard you try to defend yourself, you can't stop it. You can pass it in one go and get in as soon as you kick it. How can you kick it? !
However, falling behind by three goals, Bayern's generals, inspired by Heynckes, began to fight to the death.
In their view, Bayern is a club that never gives up and cannot be defeated by its opponents!
Even if you lose, you should lose on the way to charge!
As a result, they actually pressed forward in formation and attacked with all their strength!
At this time, Manchester United, also under the command of Ling Feng, shrunk their formation and retreated to half court.
Mourinho even replaced Ibrahimovic and replaced him with midfielder Fellaini to strengthen defense.
Even in the 80th minute of the game, Bayern relied on Franck Ribery to cut inside the penalty area with all his strength, create a chaotic cross, and help Lewandowski score in front of the goal, finally saving the city.
And set off a wave of counterattacks.
However, due to the huge physical consumption of Robery's combination and the fact that there is no winger to replace, Bayern's offense does not pose much threat at all.
In the end, when the full-time whistle sounded, they failed to break through Manchester United's iron wall again and rewrite the score.
In this way, under Ling Feng's traditional performance of two shots and one goal, Manchester United defeated Bayern three to one at the Allianz Arena!
For Bayern, they lost 1-3 at home and allowed their opponents to score three away goals.
This is an obvious fiasco!
This score means that if Bayern wants to reverse the comeback, they must win by three goals or more in the Dream Theater in the second round!
You can only score one goal against your opponent at home, but when you go to their home court, you want to score three?
Are you thinking about shit? !
You know, this season's Old Trafford Stadium is a devil's home stadium that scares all teams!
Undefeated so far!
Moreover, no team can score three goals or more in the Dream Theater!
The result of the game certainly made Bayern executives and fans very dissatisfied.
At the post-match press conference, Bayern coach Heynckes also had a tough attitude when faced with reporters' questions and questioning:
"We played very poorly in this game! Both me and the players must reflect on their performance!"
"Such a performance, I'm sorry for the fans coming to the stadium to support!"
"Our defense gave our opponents too many opportunities!"
"Especially against a team like Manchester United, it is difficult for us to create more opportunities and we must cherish every limited opportunity"
On the other side, Mourinho, who won the first game, was uncharacteristically different.
Instead of being arrogant in front of the media, this "madman" began to keep a low profile and build up his character:
"I am quite satisfied with the team's performance. Scoring three goals at the Allianz Arena is a very outstanding achievement."
"However, during the game, the opponent's two wingers gave us a lot of trouble and also caused a goal. But overall, we controlled the game."
"Ling Feng once again gave the best performance in the world"
"Of course, the showdown is far from over! Bayern is a strong team that cannot be underestimated"
"We cannot take it lightly when we return to Old Trafford in the second leg"
Mourinho certainly knows when to be high-profile and when to be low-key.
In the world of football, there are always winners and losers.
Just winning the first leg of the semi-finals does not mean they have eliminated their opponents, nor does it mean they can win the Champions League.
It’s not time to pop the champagne and celebrate!
When the final whistle blows and your team has the last laugh, it will never be too late to make a high profile!
Defeating Bayern 3-1 away from home was a pressure-relieving game for Manchester United.
Because, after this battle, they also personally felt Bayern's strength and level.
Bundesliga dominance?
That's it!
The most important thing is that the huge advantage of three away goals can give them an even greater chance of winning in the second round!
On the second day of the match between Manchester United and Bayern, Real Madrid and Liverpool also completed the first leg of their clash.
Real Madrid defeated visiting Liverpool 2-0 at the Bernabeu at home with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema.
At the same time, the battle for the Champions League Golden Boot between Cristiano Ronaldo and Ling Feng also aroused heated discussions.
So far, Ling Feng has scored fifteen goals in twelve Champions League games, slightly ahead of Ronaldo, who scored fourteen goals.
Judging from the scores in the first round, both men have a good chance of advancing to the finals.
Manchester United and Real Madrid are likely to meet again in the final for the second consecutive year!
By then, whether it is the Champions League champion or the Champions League golden boot, it will be born between Ling Feng and Ronaldo!
And among the two, only one can have the last laugh!
For Real Madrid, if they can reach the final and join Manchester United at the Olympic National Stadium in Kiev, then they can count on last year's Champions League final!
However, for Manchester United, it doesn't matter whether their opponent in the final is Real Madrid or Liverpool.
Because, these two are their defeated enemies!
However, the premise is that they must defeat their semi-final opponent Bayern (Liverpool)
Before facing Bayern in the second leg, Manchester United needs to complete one thing first.
Then let’s compete with Arsenal in the 36th round of the league!
This game is the coronation battle of the Manchester United League!
Because, as long as they defeat Arsenal at home, they will be able to win the 2017-18 Premier League championship three rounds in advance!
Thus achieving the achievement of defending the league title!
