Midfielder

Just as Mourinho said in the business car outside the stadium, the game was already decided after 45 minutes of fierce confrontation. It is estimated that even Bayern Munich fans do not expect their team to win.

Magath did not fail to lecture his players during the halftime break, and he also tried to inspire the players' remaining fighting spirit, but the reality of 3-0 made many Bayern Munich players a little depressed.

I don't know whether it was the victory-winning arguments that the German media kept clamoring before the game, or Magath's determination to win the game away from home in front of reporters. The gap between reality and ideal is indeed a bit big.

In order to give the players some motivation to fight Chelsea in the second half, Magath even used up all the substitutions during the halftime break. This madman from the Bundesliga is now ready to go all out.

Magath replaced Salihamidzic with Schweinsteiger, a young player in his early twenties. It can be seen that Magath was very dissatisfied with the Bosnian's weak performance in the frontcourt, especially that he only had one shot in the first half.

This is what Magath can't stand the most. After all, if a striker can't put pressure on the opponent in the frontcourt, then he really has no need to exist. Salihamidzic's problem is that he is weak in confrontation.

He didn't get any advantage in the confrontation with Terry and Carvalho. The same is true for Guerrero. This amateur player who has emerged this season only got two headers in the first half of the game.

Even Ballack couldn't break through the gate guarded by Cech, and Guerrero couldn't create any miracles. It was precisely because the forward combination of Bayern Munich really did nothing that forced Bayern to press forward.

Especially the midfielders' pressure. If Bayern Munich had not relied on the full forward movement of the midfield, they would not have been able to have an advantage in the ball possession rate in the first half, but such forward pressure also caused loopholes in their defense.

Chelsea's three defensive counterattacks were aimed at the large connecting area between Bayern Munich's midfield and defenders. Lin Yi and Lampard were like two nails, firmly embedded in that blank area.

All Chelsea's attacks in the first half started from this blank area. Magath did not fail to remind his players loudly, but the black-haired kid was too slippery, and his wandering confused too many people.

If Frings and Hargreaves had not been desperate to follow him, I don't know how much trouble he would have caused Bayern. Even so, he also let Lampard catch a chance to shoot and score.

Schweinsteiger replaced Salihamidzic as part of Magath's adjustment. Bayern Munich's veteran Sauer was also thrown on the field by him. He replaced Ze Roberto, who also performed poorly.

Ze Roberto, who has always relied on his wing breakthroughs and forced cuts to dominate the Bundesliga, continued to suffer in the first half. Ferreira is definitely good at dealing with this kind of Brazilian who relies on technology to play tricks.

Ze Roberto was always under Ferreira's defense in the 45 minutes of the first half. He could only cross the ball from the wing. The several forced cuts he tried were blocked by Ferreira with good positioning awareness.

But although his crosses could be accurately passed to Chelsea's penalty area, with Terry's aerial dominance, do you still expect Guerrero and others to compete for headers? So Ze Roberto's only contribution became useless.

Magath replaced Saul. It was to let this experienced veteran help Ballack build a control range belonging to Bayern's midfield in the midfield, and also to give the team an organizer who can pass the ball in the midfield.

After all, under the close defense of Makelele, Ballack's performance in this game was not ideal. Apart from the two threatening shots, he did not provide more help to Bayern Munich's offense.

Perhaps in order to minimize the goal gap between the two teams in the away game, Magath gave the last substitution quota to Makay, who had not yet fully recovered, and replaced Guerrero, who was an amateur player.

This may be the only striker Magath can place hope on. If he leaves Stamford Bridge with such a score, it can almost be sentenced to death for Bayern Munich. Three to zero is really desperate.

Seize all offensive opportunities as much as possible. Even if you can't equalize the score, you must let Bayern Munich break the embarrassment of zero goals. Don't worry about how many goals you can get back in the second half. The most important thing is to leave some hope for the second round.

Now even a tough madman like Magath can only be forced to lower his profile and pursue a result that seems to be realistic. After all, Chelsea's crazy performance in the first half made even Magath feel a little helpless.

It has to be said that once a giant team like Bayern Munich is determined to give it a try, it can indeed burst out with terrifying energy, especially the Germans who are always known for their tenacity and courage. When they really go all out, the impact really made Chelsea feel a kind of pressure at the beginning of the second half.

Less than ten seconds into the second half, Makaay, who had just come on as a substitute, created a threat in Chelsea's penalty area. After receiving a through ball from Ballack, he used his body to lean on Carvalho and turned very quickly. If Terry hadn't blocked his way in advance, the Dutchman might have just passed him by.

But Terry only stopped Mackay from rushing to the goal, and failed to directly intercept the ball at Mackay's feet. After being cut off by the opponent, Mackay did not stop but sent a pass.

The Dutchman's pass did not go to the center of Chelsea's penalty area. He seemed to deliberately attract Chelsea's two central defenders, and then sent a pass that flew along the grass directly to the top of the penalty area.

Schweinsteiger! This Bayern star, who was selected by Magath to enter the Champions League squad in the new season, appeared in the position of Mackay's pass very timely. He completed a shot before the Chelsea players came up to block.

Although his shot was not as powerful as Ballack's two shots in the first half, the angle of this shot was obviously more tricky than Bakla, and it was obvious that he could observe the space before shooting.

However, Cech seemed to have taken stimulants in this game. His side dive was very timely. Almost at the moment when Schweinsteiger kicked, Cech had keenly captured the angle chosen for this shot.

I really don't know what Kahn felt when he saw Cech's performance on the other side of the court. The stretched posture, accurate and stable ball-catching action should have been the patent of him, the "Lion King".

But at Stamford Bridge, the Czech was the master. Even if Schweinsteiger's shot was tricky enough, it still didn't escape Cech's hands. He firmly pressed the flying football to death.

The cheers of Chelsea fans were like a tsunami. They even shouted loudly, "Take a good look! Oliver! Our Peter is no worse than you! He will definitely be the best goalkeeper of this season!"

Such noisy shouting is really annoying. Kahn is enduring this disturbing sound at the moment.

But even he himself can't deny Cech's performance on the goal line. Putting aside the damn score, just based on the state of this game, the young Czech is indeed far better than Kahn, who is now depressed.

However, Schweinsteiger's shot gave Chelsea a reminder that they were only ahead in the score, and the game was not over yet. The Germans' counterattack could break through their defense at any time.

Lin Yi was the first person to suppress Bayern Munich's fierce counterattack. Although he had been tightly entangled by the fierce guy Frings since the start of the second half, this did not stop him from using his ghostly skills to stab a knife, especially his pass, which could be said to be passed wherever he pointed.

Receiving the ball in his own half, and then a precise long pass across a distance of more than 40 meters, this was the counterattack method chosen by Lin Yi. He not only made Frings a decoration, but also let Drogba shoot a shot.

However, this time Drogba did not grab a single opportunity. Although Lin Yi's pass was accurate enough, Lucio followed closely. The two strong guys had a fierce confrontation when they were fighting for position.

Drogba's shot also lost its aim at the last moment because of Lucio's pulling, and Kahn's attack was very timely. His open hands did not waste the opportunity to hold the ball this time.

But Lin Yi's breakthroughs and passes on the court hit Bayern Munich's desire to attack just now. He was completely violently suppressing and did not leave the opponent any chance to survive.

"That kid is really like a tyrannical ruler on the court now." After watching for a long time, Mendes finally said this to Mourinho. There is no way, Lin Yi's growth rate is too fast now.

If Mendes hasn't seen Lin Yi for a week or two, he will find that the kid has become more sophisticated in the game when he goes to watch his game again. He doesn't look like a kid who is less than 18 years old now.

This kid is just like those old football hooligans who have been immersed in the court for more than ten years. Every move reveals ruthlessness. He knows exactly what he should do and when, and no one needs to worry about him.

Even if there is no roar from the coach on the sidelines, Lin Yi knows what kind of trouble he can cause to the opponent on the court.

"He is the engine of the whole team, so he should understand what kind of help he can give to the team." Mourinho seems to be not surprised at all by Lin Yi's performance. In his opinion, such a Lin Yi is the most normal.

That beastly kid is so worry-free. He has become more and more like a commander. . .

(There is more than an hour left, waiting for Schalke to PK Manchester United, I hope Raul can continue his goal luck.)
