Midfielder

Chapter 318

"If Makaay, Pizarro and Demichelis can all recover from their injuries and return to the team, I am confident that we can reverse the situation at home."

This is what Magath said at the press conference after the game. This standard Bundesliga "madman" did not show any cowardice after being mentally tortured by Chelsea for 90 minutes.

On the contrary, he dared to express his opinion in front of reporters. It can be seen that this guy is definitely not just talking casually. He is indeed prepared to reverse Chelsea at home, and he wants to regain the face of losing at the Allianz Arena.

Maybe the penalty kick in the last minute of the whole game gave him the courage. Just like his desperate struggle, Bayern Munich tied the score to 1:3 in the injury time of the second half.

At that time, Ballack received Saul's pass in the middle of the penalty area, and then prepared to turn around and shoot directly, but he had a physical contact with Carvalho before shooting, and the referee Temmink did not hesitate to award a penalty kick.

Although Chelsea's players and fans in the stands expressed dissatisfaction with the penalty, the referee's will could not be changed at this moment. He pointed to the penalty spot with extraordinary determination and had no intention of changing it.

"Finding a balanced penalty, this is the referee that UEFA focuses on training. Their level really gives me a headache."

When Mourinho saw this scene, he could only complain to Mendes helplessly. Since the group stage, this kind of wrong penalty has been rampant in the game. Now in the quarter-finals, there has been no change.

I really don't know what the officials in charge of refereeing in UEFA are doing. Why can't they use the huge profits brought to them by the Champions League to improve the level of referees, and always let this kind of mistakes flood the field.

From the conversation between Fricks and Rijkaard to the penalty penalty of this referee, Mourinho really can't find any referee that can satisfy him. Even Collina has some flaws.

But there is no way. After all, human eyes are not electronic instruments. Coupled with the players' diving, some misjudgments are indeed prone to occur. However, Mourinho's suspicion and attack on the referee is a long-standing issue, so there is nothing he can do about it.

Temmink's penalty finally gave Ballack another one-on-one opportunity with Cech. Of course, this time Ballack had the absolute initiative, and he didn't want to miss such a simple scoring opportunity.

However, Ballack's penalty still made Magath nervous for a while on the sidelines. After all, this game was too weird. Magath was really afraid that Cech would suddenly go crazy and save the penalty again.

Maybe Magath's worry is not unreasonable, because Ballack's recent penalty kicks are not smooth. He has missed two penalties in the league this season. No wonder Magath is sweating now.

Cech did give Ballack a lot of psychological pressure. This guy tried his best to kick a penalty, but it was almost blocked by Cech's side dive. The Czech's first reaction at that time was accurate.

If it weren't for the power of Ballack's shot, Cech might have blocked it again.

This was a life-saving goal. When Ballack's shot went into the goal, the Bayern core, who had been depressed for half the game, even pulled his jersey frantically and roared desperately.

It can be seen that this game made him feel very frustrated. Ballack didn't get any decent opportunities throughout the game. Not only did he fail to provide more help to the team in scoring, he didn't even organize the offense normally.

Makelele was like a shadow, entangled with Ballack throughout the game. Not to mention organizing the offense, Ballack even wanted to cooperate with his teammates, but sometimes he was destroyed by Makelele.

Now he finally scored a goal. This goal not only kept the fire of Bayern Munich's reversal at home, but also gave those Bayern fans who were depressed for the whole game a chance to vent their anger.

The group of German fans can finally shout loudly at Stamford Bridge, although this goal came too late.

Less than a minute after Ballack scored the penalty, referee Temujink blew the whistle to end the game. Many Bayern fans and Magath may have to thank this guy for the penalty.

However, in the press conference after the game, Magath, who had returned to his cold state, still intentionally or unintentionally criticized the referee's enforcement level. In his opinion, the referee was still a little biased on the field.

"It's a good thing to score a goal before the end of the game. At least it gives us hope. We also hope that some players can recover their form at home. We have a lot of problems dealing with ground balls in this game. It's disappointing to lose three goals, but the situation tonight is a bit special. Usually our defense is more layered, but today it was very bad, and I think the referee's penalty in the first half was a bit biased towards the home team."

What is it called getting a bargain? Magath's performance at this moment is the best explanation. This guy was not satisfied after getting a penalty, and he also pointed the finger at the referee's several penalties in the first half.

In that guy's opinion, Chelsea's counterattack in the first half was so sharp not only because of the opponent's good tactical arrangement, but also because the referee did not stop their some foul actions in the midfield and backcourt in time.

Britto, who replaced Mourinho at the post-match press conference, was a little noncommittal about Magath's complaint. He even hit back, "If the referee favors the home team, there will be no penalty."

Although Brito is not as eloquent as Mourinho, he has been with that guy for a long time, and the occasional one or two words he says can also choke others to death. This time, Magath was speechless.

Mourinho could not see this scene off the court, but he was still a little upset about the team's loss at the last moment, not only because of the referee's penalty, but also because of Brito's substitution before the end of the game.

If Mourinho himself was on the sidelines, in the last ten minutes, he would not add a defender even if he replaced Robben. He would only add an attacking point in the frontcourt to continue to put pressure on the opponent.

After fighting hard for about 80 minutes, both sides had reached their limit. If they had put in a little more manpower in the frontcourt at this time, it might have been the straw that broke the camel's back for Bayern Munich.

But Brito is not Mourinho. He can't think of such a safe way. Before the end of the game, his biggest idea was to keep the advantage of these three goals and then rush to the Allianz Arena with such a leading advantage.

He even replaced Lin Yi in the last five minutes, which made Mourinho speechless the most, because when Lin Yi came off the field, everyone could see Frings and Hargreaves secretly relieved.

"Replacing your commander in a war is a terrible decision." Mourinho's worry is not unreasonable. The reason why Bayern Munich was defeated by Chelsea in this game was because of Lin Yi's insight on the field. His passes and breakthroughs were based on his own observations.

Every time there was a brief gap in Bayern's defense, the kid could keenly capture it. If Chelsea's attack was a computer, then Lin Yi was equivalent to the central processor on the court, the absolute commander.

Brito replaced Lin Yi to let the kid accept the worship of tens of thousands of people at Stamford Bridge, but at the same time it also gave Bayern Munich the opportunity to press forward at the last moment. Lin Yi's departure was equivalent to removing a knife from their hearts.

The continuous removal of Chelsea's two sharp knives in the attack made Drogba completely useless in the frontcourt, and the slightly relaxed mood also caused Chelsea to encounter dangers in front of the goal in the following minutes.

If the person who was replaced was Gudjohnsen instead of Glen Johnson, then Bayern Munich's pressure at the last moment might not be so unscrupulous. Saul just passed the ball to Ballack after getting rid of Glen Johnson's defense. Such a variable also buried danger for the away trip.

After returning to their home court, Bayern Munich must win Chelsea by at least two goals, and then compare away goals, but the Blues' defense is extremely tough. No team has been able to beat Chelsea by two goals this season.

The winning scores of the teams that have defeated Chelsea are Manchester City (1-0) and Newcastle (1-0). Whether at home or away, the Blues' beasts have never failed. Losing two goals? That's even more of a dream!

The task that Bayern Munich is facing now is that in addition to striving to break Chelsea's terrifying phenomenal record at home, they also have to strive not to be scored by their opponents at home.

Can the high intensity of the defense line continue to be maintained in the case of desperate attack? Only Magath can answer this question, but even this Bundesliga madman knows that Chelsea, with Lin Yi on the field, has the ability to knock down any defense line in minutes, not to mention that Bayern Munich's defense line is not so unbreakable.

However, Magath lived up to his title of madman. Before leaving London, he had already made a ruthless statement. At the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich scored two goals in the first half, thus eliminating Chelsea and entering the semi-finals.

"I hope that guy won't just say some nice words like in this game." This is Lin Yi's response to Magath's declaration, which undoubtedly slapped Magath hard in the face.

Losing away? Maybe Bayern Munich will become very strong at home, and maybe Mourinho's absence will have an impact on Chelsea, but Lin Yi dared to bite his back teeth and swear that no one would think of defeating him easily.

Anyway, he has promised Mourinho that Chelsea will not lose before he comes back. Lin Yi is still waiting for the uncle to lead Chelsea to move forward. No one will think too much of the Champions League's big ear cup.

After consuming the championship addiction again, Lin Yi's desire for the Champions League has not diminished at all. Another triple crown? Why say no to such an exciting thing?

(If the Spurs and Lakers are both eliminated, does this create an opportunity for the Little Emperor to finally ascend the throne?)
