Midfielder

The Allianz Arena may have never been so quiet on a match day. It may only be so quiet when no one is around, but this kind of silence makes people feel a little eerie.

When Drogba's header once again smashed through Kahn's fingers and went into the net, the Allianz Arena fell into deathly silence for a moment. Even the Chelsea fans seemed to have forgotten to cheer at this moment. generally.

However, the English people were excited because they had already secured their ticket to the semi-finals. They had no doubt that Chelsea would advance to the semi-finals, but such a crazy attack was a bit beyond their expectations.

This was originally a fight to the end, and many English reporters also predicted this, but Chelsea told the Germans with practical actions, don't think Chelsea can only defend, we also have sharp knives in our hands!

At the moment, Bayern fans are devastated by the fact that their team has fallen again. They really can't accept this fact. They thought this would be Bayern's reversal, but in the end, not only did they fail to score first at home. , and was scored two goals by the opponent.

Leading 2-0, there are only thirty minutes left for Bayern in the second half. They now have to score at least five goals to have a chance to enter the semi-finals. Even a madman like Magath would not expect such a task. , maybe Bayern Munich can only fight for honor at this moment.

"Maybe we should think about next season now." These were the helpless words of the German commentator after seeing the score rewritten again.

Yes, the game is not over yet, but Bayern Munich has no chance to create miracles. This season's Champions League game is over for them. Whether they are willing to admit it or not, the door to the top four of the Champions League has been Gradually it closed.

In the last thirty minutes of the game, Magath frantically played a three-forward tactic. He didn't even worry about whether his goal would be breached by his opponent again. Maybe for this Bundesliga madman, now he doesn't He needs to consider how badly he lost, he just wants to score a goal.

Being beaten 3:1 by an opponent in an away game is already an indelible shame. If he is beaten like this again at home, I'm afraid Magath won't even be able to pass his own test. Anyway, there are only the last 30 minutes left. He would have already Already ready to fight with Chelsea head-on.

For the final crazy attack, Guerrero replaced Lizarazu, Bayern changed to a three-back formation, and Sauer also replaced Ze Roberto. In the final game, Bayern set off an attack that shocked many people. In a trembling offensive frenzy, they actually shot nine times in this half hour.

And Sauer, who came on as a substitute, burst out with fierce offensive ability in Chelsea's midfield and frontcourt. This guy's passing and organization became the source of Bayern Munich's offense in the second half. After Sauer came on, Ballack He also changed from an organizer to a sharp knife charging into battle.

Although Makelele is still following Ballack like a shadow, Sauer's wandering in the midfield and frontcourt still creates a lot of trouble for Chelsea's defense.

In the 67th minute, Sauer used a beautiful fake move in front of the penalty area to get rid of Thiago's entanglement, and then made a very covert stop to counterattack, which gave Ballack a chance to volley from the outside. , but Cech reacted quickly, and his sideways save directly knocked the football out of the bottom line.

After Sauer used his beautiful footwork to take another corner kick, Ballack once again found an opportunity to attack the goal with a header in the penalty area, but this time his head shake avoided Terry's defense, but But it was slightly higher than the beam by a few centimeters, which made Barak roar in annoyance.

But Sauer's performance was not over. One minute later, after he got the ball on the right side, he made a realistic fake move to shake off Gala. He got out of the way and directly passed the ball. Pizarro was in front. The header went high again. Such scenes can be said to have appeared one after another after Sauer came on the field. In order to mark him, Brito even replaced Robben and replaced Huth with a stronger defensive ability, letting Gala He was specifically responsible for guarding Sauer, but the Bayern veteran who came on as a substitute still used his last remaining energy on the court, using his passes time and time again to win better offensive opportunities for the team.

"If this kind of performance can come earlier, maybe we won't be so passive." Looking at Sauer's thread on the court, even the German commentator was questioning Magath's employment, why such a person can send out fatal Can't the passing midfielder come on earlier?

If Sauer could start the game in the first half, perhaps relying on Bayern Munich's crazy attack in the first 20 minutes, Chelsea's goal would have been torn apart by Bayern. Why wait for the opponent to lead 2-0 before they can score? Such smooth coordination in the frontcourt?

"Magath is too used to using players who are strong and hard-working to gain an advantage for himself." Mourinho gave his own answer after seeing Sauer's performance. Magath That guy doesn't like players who rely on skills to roam the court.

Compared with Ballack, Sauer may not have such a strong body, but he has a spirituality that many Bundesliga players do not have, especially in the final pass. Compared with many of the main players of Bayern, he is better A bit higher, but his defensive attitude and enthusiasm are not that high.

He is not the kind of player who can intercept opponents in the midfield by relying on his strong body, especially in running ability, he is far inferior to those guys who are known as iron lungs like Frings, and his age and frequent injuries also made him excluded from the main lineup by Magath early.

Even in the Bundesliga games, Saul is often regarded as a fireman by Magath. Only when the situation is really difficult to open, Magath will think of him. In the eyes of the madman, Saul can only be a super substitute. If Bayern Club has not always relied on this old minister, Magath would have wanted to give up using Saul when he first took office, but it was this marginal player who often saved him at critical moments.

"For those players with equally distinct characteristics and shortcomings, you must understand his value." When Mourinho studied Magath and Bayern Munich, he once regarded Saul as a very dangerous person, but at the same time he also understood that Magath would not let this veteran enter the starting lineup.

Magath may have been immersed in the Bundesliga for too long. In his tactical thinking, midfielders are not only responsible for offense, but also must participate in defense, especially the ability to counter-grab on the spot must be strong, and Saul definitely cannot meet Magath's requirements for midfielders.

Saul's light and free-spirited style of play is indeed the most beautiful scenery in German football, but this free and easy and agile style is one of the important reasons why he stays away from Magath's tactical system. Magath is not Mourinho. Mourinho dares to give Lin Yi a chance unscrupulously, but Magath dares not.

As a coach who has never won any important championships in the Bundesliga, it is a kind of pressure for him to coach a top team, especially when there are always three mountains on his head monitoring his every move, and the crisis of dismissal is always around Magath.

Therefore, Magath did not dare to take excessive risks. Whether it was the league or the Champions League, he could only choose the safest tactics, not make mistakes, and win. This was the most basic requirement. Magath had long lost the chance to play beautifully or attack like mercury.

At this moment, I don’t know what Magath felt when he stood on the sidelines and watched Saul galloping on the court. Anyway, when he saw Brito replace Lin Yi, he kept watching the black-haired boy walk off the court with a smile. Maybe he was also thinking, why can’t he have such a player.

The character of the coach determines the character of the team. Mourinho instilled a tough style in the team, but the spirit that Magath injected into the team was to play in a mechanical way. But on such a night, his German tank was turned off, but the blue chariot was driving strongly.

Bayern's attack never stopped in the last 30 minutes. They finally broke through Cech's defense in the injury time with three players' shots in the penalty area. This time, it was Sagnol's cross from the wing into the penalty area, and Ballack headed the ball in the middle of the penalty area, but Cech still made a world-class save at the first time. However, Pizarro, who suddenly rushed out, shot the ball into the net on the goal line. Bayern Munich scored a goal, but in the subsequent slow motion, it was clearly shown that Pizarro was already offside at the moment of Ballack's header.

However, this time, Chelsea's players did not protest around the referee. They knew very well that this goal was just the only fig leaf for Bayern Munich. There was no need to smash a stone when the opponent fell into the well. Anyway, they were already the winner.

Less than a minute after Bayern Munich scored the goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the game, but this time, only the cheers of Chelsea fans were left in the Allianz Arena. Most Bayern fans had chosen to leave silently before the game was over.

Many Bayern fans did not even wait for the team to score that goal. Perhaps for them, this goal could not change the outcome. It was no longer important to them whether it was scored or not. Even if Bayern Munich could score two goals, they could only accept the tragic end of the curtain call.

I don't know what the fate of this famous madman in the Bundesliga will be when Magath patted the players on the shoulders and left the sidelines.

Leave? Or stay? This is a problem for Magath and Bayern Munich, but such troubles have nothing to do with Chelsea. Now Lin Yi and others only need to wait quietly for the arrival of the next opponent.

Juventus? Liverpool? It seems that these beasts in blue clothes have no feeling about who they will meet next. Come on! It doesn't matter who it is! Chelsea's chariot wheels will run over your bodies!

(Pierce was ejected. I can’t say it’s a home-court advantage, but the Heat won today because of Jones’ three-pointer. No one expected that. After all, a guy who averaged less than six points per game actually scored 25 points today. It’s amazing.)
