Super Marshal

With the whistle of referee Marcus Schmidt and the roaring cheers of more than 60,000 fans at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich's first Bundesliga game of the new season finally kicked off.

At the beginning of the game, Rostock, who took the first kick, passed the ball to the backcourt, but the two players on the front line took the initiative to press forward.

But when the defender made a long pass and wanted to go to the frontcourt to find high center Cohen, Lucio suddenly stepped in, took control of the first landing point, and pushed the ball back. The two sides continued in the midfield. Fierce scramble.

In the end, Bayern Munich grabbed the ball and quickly passed it back into the penalty area.

Neuer stopped the ball firmly with his feet, showing the momentum of one man being invincible.

Rostock's Congolese striker Manga quickly stepped forward to interfere. Neuer picked up the ball and threw it to Lahm on the right. Lahm passed it across to Lucio, and the Brazilian central defender kicked long diagonally. Passed the ball and moved to the right side of the frontcourt.

Robben pulled to the wing, stopped the ball with his chest, dribbled the ball laterally and cut inside. After using his speed to dodge the defender, he suddenly started to volley from a distance away from the penalty area.

Unfortunately, the kick went a bit wide, but the fans at the Allianz Arena still applauded Robben.

Rostock took a goal kick, but as soon as it reached Bayern Munich's half, it was immediately controlled by Lucio. Rostock started to press, but Bayern Munich quickly transferred the ball to the right. Lahm dribbled the ball forward and followed Ronaldo. After forming coordination from the wing, Ben decisively went down to the bottom line and passed the ball.

This time, the ball hit the defender's leg and went out of bounds for Bayern Munich's corner kick.

Ribery took a corner kick, and Lucio grabbed the first shot in the penalty area and headed the goal, but it went slightly wide.

Rostock once again sent a goal kick, but as soon as the ball crossed Bayern Munich's half, the first point was once again snatched by Lucio, and Bastian Schweinsteiger grabbed the second point and immediately took the ball. Passed to the left.

The visiting team started to press aggressively in the frontcourt, but Bayern Munich passed the ball quickly and continuously to divert the ball.

Pagelsdorf also gradually realized that something was wrong on the sidelines. The game situation did not seem to develop as he expected. His frontcourt pressing and midfield interception did not seem to put pressure on Bayern Munich.

Even if he plays two defenders with excellent defensive and running abilities in the midfield.

He plays in a 442 diamond midfield position. The front three of Cohen, Manga and Yellen are very diligent and have high execution ability on the field. They spare no effort to press Bayern Munich, but they have no effect.

According to traditional football concepts, the ball is in your own half, especially within the thirty-meter area. Once you get the ball, you should move it as soon as possible. It is best to pass it forward directly with your big foot to send the ball far away from the dangerous area.

But the cold Bayern Munich seemed to have no intention of doing this.

Rostock sent the ball to the frontcourt again and again, into the 30-meter area of ​​Bayern Munich. However, after the Bundesliga giants seized the ball, they did not send it forward immediately. Instead, they passed it between players. Keep the ball under control.

Are they not afraid of being counterattacked after losing the ball?

You know, losing the ball within a thirty-meter area is almost fatal.

Of course, Pagelsdorf knows that this is the philosophy that Gao Han pursued when he was in La Liga and Serie A.

But this is the Bundesliga!

In Spain, Gaohan has players with solid technical skills such as Marchena and Carvalho. In Italy, there are also famous European stars like Cannavaro and Vidic, plus Xabi Alonso and Cambia. A deep-lying midfielder like Suo allows Gao Han to control the ball in the midfield.

But in the Bundesliga, what about Bayern Munich?

Lucio's recklessness is not something that happens in a day or two. He has long been famous. Hummels is a young player who has just been promoted to the first team. It is hard to say what the future will be like, but for the time being, it seems that he does not have the ability to stand alone. .

As for Bastian Schweinsteiger, he is somewhat suspected of rushing a duck. Is he comparable to Europe's top deep-lying midfielders such as Xabi Alonso and Cambiaso?

Thinking of this, Pagelsdorf narrowed his eyes and said, "I still don't believe that the tricks you played so well in La Liga and Serie A can still be played in the Bundesliga."

In the previous 9-0 victory in the German Cup, the opponent had no strength at all. What's more, the pressing ability of Rostock brought by Pagelsdorf was far from that of a low-level league team. of.

Pagelsdorf walked straight to the sidelines and waved towards veteran midfielder Stefan Beinlich, indicating that the team's overall formation should be pushed forward further and try to attack Bayern Munich's midfield and backfield. Create oppression.

As long as he can grab the ball within the 30-meter area of ​​Bayern Munich, he will win.

And with just one goal, he can change the game!

…………

"He's like a gambler."

Seeing Pagelsdorf taking the initiative to press, Tuchel said with a wry smile.

Everyone in Europe knows that what Gao Han is least afraid of is this kind of high-position press, but the head coach of Rostock still decisively chooses to press. Isn't this a gamble?

But Gao Han didn't see it that way.

"There are two kinds of people in this world. One is those who like to take the initiative no matter what they do, and the other is those who don't care too much about taking the initiative and consider putting themselves in an invincible position first. ground, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake.”

Having said this, Gao Han smiled slightly and said, "There is no doubt that Pagelsdorf belongs to the former."

In Gao Han's eyes, this is a respectable option, because he himself is such a person.

Rostock's overall strength is simply unable to compete with Bayern Munich. In this game, they have no choice at all, or they have to take the initiative and give it a try to win the slim chance. As long as they disrupt Bayern Munich's rhythm , they will have the opportunity to take advantage of the fire.

Or just defend tightly, wait for Bayern Munich to make mistakes, and then seize the opportunity to counterattack.

Pagelsdorf chose the former option, which was not easy and required great courage.

"But he's dead!"

A trace of cruelty flashed across Gao Han's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to use the skill card.

He has no doubt about the strength of his team. Even without using skill cards, he can definitely kill Rostock and score a goal in the first half. However, he does not have time to spend so much time with his opponent because he still has a lot to do.

Moreover, he needs skill cards to speed up the player's strength.

…………

"We saw Gao Han also come to the sidelines, and he seemed to be adjusting the team's tactics."

"Bayern Munich should really strengthen their offensive threats as their opponents are pressing too close."

"It was Hummels again. The long pass was transferred to the frontcourt and handed to Klose, but the opponent's defender Pierce fouled."

"Bayern Munich had a free kick opportunity in the front of the penalty area. It was a good position."

"Ribery takes the penalty."

"Kick up and hit the door!"

"Oops, the angle of the shot was too good and it was confiscated by Rostock's goalkeeper Vester."

…

Fans in the stands of the Allianz Arena burst into loud cheers, encouraging Ribery who missed a direct free kick.

This also made Gao Han a little depressed on the sidelines, because he discovered that Bayern Munich did not have a decent set-piece penalty taker.

The same ball, if it were in Inter Milan, Figo, Veron, Recoba, Adriano, Cristiano Ronaldo, and even Ibrahimovic would probably be able to hit it.

But at Bayern Munich…

"Our set pieces still need to be strengthened." Gao Han ordered Cantarero beside him.

The latter knew immediately what he was about to do.

…

"Hummels takes the ball and passes it forward, Bastian Schweinsteiger..."

"Kick up and hit the door!"

"Thirty-five meters away from the goal, Bastian Schweinsteiger's shot was too hasty. He failed to suppress the ball and directly hit the ball into the stands."

"Rostock took a goal kick but the ball quickly fell into Bayern Munich's hands."

"Let's look at the organization this time."

"Give it to Bastian Schweinsteiger, move to the left, Marcelo goes forward."

"After receiving the ball, Marcelo passed it again. Van Bommel knocked back and handed it to Marcelo to pass forward."

"Okay, Ribery takes the ball, turns around, and cuts into the penalty area."

"If there is a chance, he inserts into the penalty area and no one can stop him. Franck Ribery forms a single sword..."

"Goalkeeper Wester struck decisively..."

"Ribery crossed in front of the goal, Klose..."

"The ball went in!!!!!!!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"In the fourteenth minute of the first half, in the fourteenth minute of the first half, Bayern Munich finally broke through Rostock's defense."

"Relying on his outstanding personal ability, Ribery dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the left rib, formed a single shot and then selflessly passed it to the goal. Klose cleverly seized this opportunity and pushed the goal in front of the goal. Better than zero!”

"Bayern Munich's first goal of the new season comes from Klose!"

…

The entire Allianz Arena felt like a volcano erupting the moment Klose scored, and more than 60,000 fans screamed in unison.

The goal came suddenly, but it was expected by all fans.

From the moment they walked into this stadium, they were already looking forward to the arrival of this goal.

They firmly believe that head coach Gao Han will never let them down.

In fact, the goal was scored in the fourteenth minute, and victory was already in sight!

Pagelsdorf seemed a little surprised, a little disappointed, and a little angry, because he had reason to believe that the gap between his right back and center back was too big just now, and he was unable to follow Ribery in time.

Another reason is that the midfielder who should be protected at the front of the penalty area is pressed too high. Bainlich, who is just behind, cannot estimate the two ribs. This veteran is already 35 years old.

On the court, Rostock's captain Beinlich was calling out to his teammates, but he was not asking for responsibility for the missed goal, but calling on his teammates not to be overly disappointed. The game had just begun, and they still had to wake up.

Because the opponent they encountered in this game was Bayern Munich!

Gao Han was not dazzled by the surprise brought by the first goal of the new season. He quickly walked to the sidelines, clapped vigorously, attracted the attention of all the players, and called on them to hurry back to the game.

"Remember what I said before the game, control the ball and stabilize the rhythm. The victory in this game belongs only to us!"

"Quick, quick, keep kicking like this!"

Bayern Munich's players seemed to be convinced by Gao Han. As soon as they heard the coach's call, they quickly ran back to the half court and set up their formation.

But when Rostock forward Cohen kicked the ball to Manga, who turned and passed it behind him, Bayern Munich's players pressed forward in unison like a tiger descending a mountain.

That courageous momentum made the Bayern Munich fans in the stands extremely excited.

Isn't it?

Playing at home against a newly promoted team, how can one goal be enough?
