Chapter 323 Time Goes Back, the Devil Comes!

Bayern fans' trust and expectations for Robben are beyond words, but if they want to turn the tide at this moment, it is far from enough to just replace Robben.

Putting Robben on the field can only help to boost the breakthrough attack on the right.

But the gap in midfield defense is still there.

Muller and Thiago have to be put on the field, and it is completely unrealistic to put the burden of midfield defense on Schweinsteiger's shoulders.

In the past, when playing in the Bundesliga and playing against some teams that were not first-class in the Champions League, Bayern arranged the starting lineup like this.

But now playing against Chelsea, the most fierce counterattack in Europe, Bayern still dares to make such a starting lineup arrangement. To put it bluntly, it is completely seeking death!

Let alone playing against Chelsea in this round, if they draw randomly, such Bayern will not be able to pass the test when they meet Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Martinez still has to be put on the field. Without him to cover the bottom, Schweinsteiger can't play his all-round role at all.

On the contrary, it will become a complete defensive black hole because of Thiago's untimely return to defense.

After all, his personal ability has also declined significantly compared to last year.

In this case, it is very unreasonable to accuse Schweinsteiger of defensive negligence.

Muller also tried his best.

As a front midfielder, he returned to defense with all his strength as soon as his teammate lost the ball, and even rushed directly back to the front of his own penalty area. Isn't it hard enough?

Thiago even said that the tactical arrangement made by Pellegrini before the game was to let him press forward to organize the attack.

You can't ask him to press to Chelsea's half to organize the dispatch, and at the same time ask him to return to the front of his own penalty area every time, right?

He is not a B2B with steel and iron bones like Li Ang.

If he really wants him to play like Li Ang, he will only have 50 to 60 minutes of game energy, and he can't run anymore!

For a while, all the three midfielders of Bayern felt very wronged.

Pellegrini was also a little helpless sitting in the coaching seat.

When Bayern approached him, they promised him that they would build a new Bayern according to his tactical ideas.

And the Bayern executives also authorized him, hinting that he could start to clean up the veterans in the team.

Pellegrini has his own set of tactical play. He is also very smooth on the road of offensive football, and it is not a bad idea to use offense instead of defense.

If they really want to play the double defensive midfielder and 4231 system that Hai Shuai used before, then Bayern can just find a Bundesliga coach to copy the previous tactics. It is completely unnecessary to invite him.

He certainly does not want to be a tactical puppet.

And as a new official, he also has his favorite midfield core Thiago.

Without moving the old man Muller and Schweinsteiger, he can only move Martinez, who has been injured this season.

Let Gotze take over and gradually replace the veteran Robben, and there are also hints from the Bayern executives.

So Pellegrini also does not think he has done anything wrong.

At this time, the game situation was very serious after losing a goal, but Pellegrini still couldn't easily bow to Robben and Martinez on the bench.

It's okay to make substitutions and adjustments.

But not at this moment, not in the first half of the game.

Making adjustments at this time is equivalent to Pellegrini admitting his mistakes and bowing to the tactical ideas left by Heynckes.

It's true that Peigong is a good man, but he also has his own tactical pride.

It's hard to tell right from wrong, only suitable and unsuitable.

Li Ang didn't know the ideological struggle in Pellegrini's heart at this moment. He just felt very relieved after seeing that there was no action on the Bayern coaching bench.

In general, Bayern's current tactical style is very different from the tough style they have played in the past few seasons.

The old Bayern players still have a lot of Heynckes' tactical style.

But Bayern players like Thiago, Gotze and Lewandowski who actively approached the new head coach Pellegrini have another tactical idea.

One group is conservative and accepts, and the other group actively approaches.

Pellegrini didn't have many solid championship honors to show off to overwhelm Bayern's locker room.

If you think about it more deeply, the factional problem within Bayern is really too complicated.

Reflecting on the court, the Bayern starting players at this moment don't seem to have the close unity and team strength of last season.

Lahm is still encouraging the morale of other Bayern players, but there are very few Bayern players on the field who respond to his spiritual call.

In contrast, the Chelsea players who just finished celebrating seem to be much more united!

Li Ang hugged Kroos's shoulders intimately and said something in his ear, and then both of them laughed.

Ibrahimovic was still rubbing Hazard's head after scoring the goal, and De Bruyne and Azpilicueta hugged and celebrated again.

And Terry was still waving his arms towards the stands at this time, inspiring the enthusiasm of the home fans!

Mourinho stood on the sidelines and applauded his disciples enthusiastically.

His face was full of smiles, his eyes were full of confidence, and he looked like he had already won.

The Chelsea players who returned to their own half cheered each other up, alerted each other, and were ready to continue the game with high morale.

The mental outlook of the two teams formed a sharp contrast at Stamford Bridge at this moment, and they looked completely different.

Many neutral fans who were optimistic about Bayern before the game quickly changed their words.

The game soon resumed, but this time Chelsea did not play any tricks with Bayern, they really started to defend with all their players!

However, the Bayern players on the field and Pellegrini on the sidelines who were unaware of the situation dared not be careless again.

Bayern and Chelsea, who did not continue to press forward and attack, seemed to have formed a tacit understanding in the field and directly slowed down the rhythm of the game.

Bayern's attack was weak, but Chelsea defended firmly. For a while, Bayern seemed to have no way to deal with Chelsea's defense.

The game was played until the 30th minute of the first half.

Many players on the Bayern bench also began to warm up on the sidelines.

Not only Robben and Martinez, but also Bayern's substitute striker Pizarro and substitute midfielder Rod started warming up.

After the 35th minute of the first half, Bayern regained their momentum and pressed forward to Chelsea's half again.

But facing Chelsea's 451 formation that was directly changed at this moment, Bayern did not have a good solution to break the deadlock.

Ribery tried to dribble on the left and made Azpilicueta foul several times.

But Lewandowski's performance in set-piece opportunities was still mediocre.

He only contributed one shot in the entire first half, and he seemed almost invisible.

His fulcrum role cannot be ignored directly, but compared with Mandzukic last year, Lewandowski's performance in this half was not even qualified.

But now Bayern doesn't use him and there is no other better center available.

Mandzukic and Gomez were both sold off in the summer window last year. Between Lewandowski and veteran Pizarro, Bayern fans can only choose the younger Lewandowski.

When the final whistle sounded, Bayern's players walked hurriedly to the player tunnel.

Pellegrini also walked towards the locker room in a serious manner.

For Chelsea, their preparations for the second half will be much easier.

Mourinho praised all Chelsea players in the locker room, and then emphasized the importance of maintaining a stable defense in the second half.

"The more stable our defense is, the more defensive flaws they will reveal. The less anxious we are, the more anxious they will be!

Of course, if they choose to stop in this game, we will also make a profit~

In this game, my only requirement for you is not to lose the ball!

Be cautious in attacking and prioritize defense. If we do this in this game, we will be invincible in the second round at the Allianz Arena in Munich..."

Mourinho's earnest advice was engraved in the minds of all Chelsea players.

At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea still put on a defensive posture, and Bayern would not be fooled no matter how they tempted!

And as Mourinho said, as long as Chelsea can keep calm, Bayern will only become more and more anxious.

In the last round, Chelsea faced Juventus, and at least Uncle Allegri could suppress the players in the team, which means that they had to defend against them.

After losing a goal, they didn't give Chelsea too many counterattack opportunities, and the suspense of the game was dragged to the second round.

But Bayern couldn't do this. First of all, Pellegrini couldn't suppress all the Bayern veterans in the team.

And the glory of the treble last season also made the players in the Bayern team unable to bear to lose the first round of the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea!

Even if they have to lose, they can't lose in such a frustrating way.

Chelsea died on the way to the charge last season, so it doesn't make sense for Bayern to be a turtle this season.

Ribery took the lead in sounding the charge.

All Chelsea players defended the front line without any chaos. Under the close defense of Thiago Silva, Lewandowski still didn't run out of any good chances to grab points.

However, Muller had several good connections with Ribery at this time. The two fired long shots in succession, which really tested Cech's saving skills.

But giving Bayern several corner kicks, Chelsea's defenders were not afraid.

Terry declared his defensive sovereignty in the penalty area very strongly.

Pellegrini did not choose to make a substitution until the 70th minute of the second half.

But Pellegrini did not directly withdraw a midfielder or defender and put on an offensive player, but replaced Muller, who had performed well before, with Robben!

Such a substitution was completely beyond the expectations of all Bayern fans. They thought that Pellegrini would at least replace Gotze, who performed poorly today, with Robben...

Muller's face was not very good, but he finally obeyed the coach's arrangement and left the field depressed.

In front of the camera, Muller still gave Pellegrini enough respect. After hugging Pellegrini, he walked to the bench.

After coming on the court, Robben trotted all the way to the right side, while Gotze came to the middle of the midfield.

This time, Bayern's two-wing formation is back, but the old enemies Li Ang and Gotze are once again facing each other.

What else is there to say?

Of course, Li Ang will not be polite to Gotze. As long as Gotze wants to hold the ball and go to the middle, he will definitely meet his old friend and give him a hard blow.

And after Bayern made substitutions, Li Ang also saw the hope of further expanding the lead.

Previously, Bayern's midfield defense was already problematic.

But now Pellegrini replaced Muller, who was active in returning to defense, and let Gotze play in the middle.

That was completely a case of not caring about the bottom and further expanding the defensive disadvantage of the team.

As expected, after Bayern replaced Robben, they further strengthened their offense, and their two-wing tactics were also played well.

However, in the middle of the midfield, both Gotze and Thiago pressed too far forward, and at this moment, the midfield defense almost relied on Schweinsteiger alone.

Li Ang waited very patiently.

As Mourinho said during the halftime break, the offense should be cautious.

At this time, he must first ensure the integrity of his midfield defense.

However, Bayern's slightly anxious attack soon gave him a chance.

In the 79th minute of the second half, Robben came on as a substitute and used his more abundant physical strength and technical advantages to quickly open up the situation on the right.

Bertrand and Matic could only passively defend on this side.

The space in the rib area was opened up, and Robben tried to make a threatening pass behind the Chelsea defense line, but Gotze and he obviously did not think of going together.

Robben sent the ball forward, but Gotze only halfway forward and stopped. He thought Robben would send the ball to his feet first.

Both of them were right. If you have to say, Robben was a little anxious.

But at this time, there was not much time left in the game. If you want to equalize the score at Chelsea's home court, you have to make more risky attempts.

Robben's original intention was good, but unfortunately, his partner was no longer the agile Muller...

Terry, who successfully picked up the leak, quickly swept the ball to Kroos who retreated to respond.

Kroos passed the ball to the side as soon as he received the ball. De Bruyne on the right led the ball to the middle and directly avoided Bernat's counter-grab!

In the next moment, Li Ang accelerated forward like an arrow from a string, and De Bruyne also sent a straight pass forward very tacitly!

The two's passing and running cooperation directly penetrated Bayern's entire midfield defense!

Schweinsteiger struggled to chase back, and Boateng, who was dragged at the end of Bayern's defense, did not dare to rush up easily. There was Ibrahimovic beside him, so he could only retreat passively.

Li Ang advanced with the ball very quickly, which was also a great counterattack opportunity for Chelsea!

After seeing Ibrahimovic holding Boateng's defense, Li Ang dribbled the ball slightly to the right side of the midfield, trying to observe Hazard's speed of insertion.

However, in the gap of turning his head, Li Ang was very keenly aware of Neuer's position problem.

The German goalkeeper likes to attack, and his range of activities is also quite large.

At this moment, his position is far away from his own goal, closer to the penalty area line.

Li Ang suddenly had a very crazy idea in his mind.

After estimating that his position with the ball would not be more than 40 meters away from Bayern's goal, Li Ang made up his mind and adjusted his steps directly, and then fully exerted his strength to swing his legs!

Commentators from various countries were simply stunned at this moment!

So much so that when Li Ang swung his leg to shoot hard, many commentators seemed to be stuck and didn't know what to say!

On the court, Li Ang's shooting action was completed very quickly. Almost in an instant, the football he kicked was roaring and suddenly fell while rising!

Neuer was really panicked this time!

His retreat speed was actually not slow at all, but compared with the speed of the football falling towards the goal, his save was still a beat slower!

Suddenly, Neuer felt as if he had returned to three years ago.

In the noisy Warsaw National Stadium, facing Balotelli who came alone but chose to shoot hard, he was so helpless!

After waving his hands in vain to make the last save, Neuer couldn't help but close his eyes.

Then, the crisp sound of the football rubbing against the net came to his ears!

And the crazy cheers that swept over the sky and earth!

After scoring this 36-meter-long heavy shot, Li Ang excitedly took off his shirt, rushed to the sidelines and raised his arms to welcome the worship and cheers from all the Chelsea fans!

At this moment, it was as if time had gone back!

In front of Neuer, the devil descended again!

The third update may be after midnight, I am really sorry, I will try to complete the third update before 1 a.m.
