There is a belief called football

Chapter 538 Battle Wolf Fort ([-])

The height a player can reach depends on two aspects—technical level and mental quality. Some players have top-notch skills, such as "Riquelme" and "Mofeo", but once they join a wealthy club, they will fail. The main reason is that their mental quality is not so strong.

After coming to Bayern, Li Qiao has already felt this kind of pressure. In Dortmund, the pressure will only be felt after losing three or four games. In Bayern, the pressure will be huge after only one loss. If you think about it, you will understand that this kind of pressure is unbearable.

In this game, Bayern made a small change in the starting lineup. Muller replaced Thiago as the starting midfielder.

The specific starting lineup is:
Goalkeeper - Manuel Neuer
Defenders - Lahm, Boateng, Benatia, Alaba
Midfielders - Javi Martinez, Vidal
Midfielders - Costa, Muller, Joe Lee

Striker - Lewandowski

In contrast, Wolfsburg's starting XI is:

Goalkeeper - Benaglio

Defense - Florenzi, Naldo, Dante, Rodriguez
Double defensive midfielder-Giravoji, Gustavo

Avant-garde line-Schuerrle, Draxler, Mane

Forward - Lukaku
Both teams have sent their top match this season. This is a Champions League level contest, and the game will be quite hot.

After the opening, Bayern took the last 5 to 1 prestige, quickly overwhelmed halftime, and controlled the situation, especially Lewandowski, as long as he got the ball, Wolfsburg's defenders were on the verge of a formidable enemy.

But soon, after several unthreatening shots from Bayern, the Wolfsburg midfielder began to press out.

The ball reached Mane's feet, and the Senegalese Xiaohei ran forward like a hot wheel under his feet. His defense was the old Lahm. For Bayern, the side defense was under great pressure.

Lahm originally thought that relying on his own defensive experience, the problem should not be a big problem, but the full-back has no speed. It’s really not good. Just look at Barcelona’s "Alves".

Sammer knew that players like "Mane" were the kind of people who couldn't run to death. He stretched out his left and right index fingers and made a gesture, asking Boateng to help defend.

The home fans are a bit upset. Mane feels like last year when "Costa" first came, as if a 100-meter runner suddenly came to play football.

When Bayern's defensive center of gravity leaned to the right, Mane was so clever that he even passed the ball across the penalty area to the midfielder "Draxler".

Draxler stepped on his bicycle, swayed left and right, and after getting rid of "Martinez", he slammed his foot straight into the penalty area.

Lukaku took the ball in the penalty area to face "Benatia", what was it like?It's like a heavyweight fighting a lightweight in a boxing ring.

As soon as the body touched, Benatia was bounced away, as if encountering a hill, "Vidal" who came back from the defense hurried to help, the two defended, Lukaku couldn't turn around and shoot, but he didn't miss the ball.

Who benefits from such a stalemate?
Of course it is against Wolfsburg. There is a fulcrum in the penalty area, and Wolfsburg's midfield can press it.

Bayern was eager to steal the ball, but Lukaku just didn't lose the ball. Sammer saw that too many Bayern players were attracted around Lukaku. He gestured again and again, asking everyone to disperse and stand far away to see the full view. Sammer thought, "If Lukaku hits the bottom of his foot at this time, Schurrle behind him will face Neuer single-handedly."

Of course, Lukaku does not have eyes behind him. Under the pressure of the Bayern defender, it is not bad for him to hold the ball.

Draxler kept yelling: "Pass the ball, pass the ball."

Lukaku also understands, but the question is-where to pass?

Although football is not like basketball, there is a 24-second violation, but the forward has a steelyard in his heart. At this time, Lukaku had to make a decision. He forcibly turned around and shot. The ball was soft and weak, and there was no threat.

*****
The goal was missed, but this attack revealed many things. Lukaku's threat is too great. His "black nail" is wedged in Bayern's penalty area and cannot be pulled out. This is the value of Lukaku and the reason why he is valuable.

Sammer put "Boaten" in the past to defend Lukaku. Boateng is the only person in the Bayern team who can compete with Lukaku in terms of height and weight.

Wolfsburg has always played this kind of tactics. The former high center forward was the Dutchman "Dost". Now that Lukaku is replaced, there is a feeling of a shotgun change. Coupled with the support of the two wingers Mane and Schurrle, Wolfsburg actually suppressed Bayern.

By the 15th minute of the first half, there were sporadic boos at the Allianz Arena. From 5 to 1 to now being beaten by the opponent, the contrast is too big. No wonder the fans are dissatisfied.

But Sammer is not worried. Looking at the ball possession rate, Bayern will no longer be like last season, with more than 70% at every turn.

And Summer is waiting, waiting for what?Wait for the counterattack.

Wolfsburg pressing Bayern also means that there must be a huge space behind them, and as long as the ball can pass into the opponent's half, that is an opportunity.

Soon, the opportunity Sammer was looking forward to came. Mane passed the ball and was headed out by Benatia, and Vidal in front of the penalty area took the ball.

The Chilean took a look and found Li Qiao on the left with a long pass. It took Li Qiao two months, and now he has won the trust of Vidal in the team.

This long pass was very accurate. Li Qiao ran while watching the ball, but the problem was that the opponent here was very tough-Florenzi.

Li Qiao lifted his ankle, followed by a gust of wind, which was a harbinger of a tackle. Li Qiao jumped and passed the ball, but Florenzi shoveled the ball out of the sideline.

This ball wasn't Li Qiao's fear, but a sixth sense. If he didn't jump, Li Qiao felt that he might be injured.

Florenzi patted his socks and stepped back to his position. The Italian defensive players are all old foxes. The ball just now is the best example. It looks like a rushing ball, but in fact it was a shovel with the ball.

*****
After trying this a few times, Florenzi stuck his position very well. Li Qiao's technique of stopping the ball is already top-notch, but Florenzi still manages to get the ball every time!Legs arrive!

After failing many times in the same thing, it is inevitable that people will be irritated. When Florenzi tackled the ball again, Li Qiao still jumped up, but this time Li Qiao's jump height was obviously not high, and when he fell, he directly stepped on Florenzi's body.

"what"! !

With a scream, players from both sides rushed over, and Li Qiao was at a loss in his mind—"Could it be a red card?"
The Wolfsburg players were emotional. They surrounded the referee and asked for a red card. The Bayern players tried to push the Wolfsburg players away so that they would not interfere with the referee.

The referee looked stern, and he said that the idlers should go away, and then pointed to Li Qiao and Florenzi respectively.

"Come here!"
Li Qiao explained: "He flew over with a shovel, and I jumped up instinctively to avoid the ball."

Florenzi was very cunning, he said nothing, and kept pointing to the spike marks on his thigh, as if in silent protest.

In the end, the referee's penalty was very good, each played [-] boards, Florenzi and Li Qiao each showed a yellow card.

German referees are notorious for their level of law enforcement. In fact, both of them understand the little referees in their hearts.

Florenzi was pretending to be innocent. In fact, every time he stepped down, he went towards the most vulnerable part of Li Qiao's ankle. As for Li Qiao, he could dodge it, but he deliberately stepped on Florenzi.

But Hei Jin, who was far away, couldn't understand such a penalty, "My God, is there still a law? It is said that the Bundesliga was opened by Bayern, and now it seems true."

When he found the fourth official, he was short of telling whether you belonged to Bayern! !

The Wolfsburg players on the field didn't dare to make a fuss because they also knew how ruthless Florenzi was, but Hei Jin really didn't know. He was the head coach and had an overview of the overall situation. Finally, under the warning of the referee, Hei Jin stopped.

*****
After Florenzi received a yellow card, Bayern immediately stepped up their attack on Wolfsburg's right. Now the situation is like a powder keg. As long as Florenzi makes a bigger move and the home fans boo again, a second yellow card will follow immediately.

Of course Florenzi also knew that as one of the best defenders of the new generation of Italy, he suppressed his temper at the moment and even created opportunities.

After receiving the yellow card, Li Qiao often teased Florenzi, deliberately passing him on the wing, with the purpose of getting the opponent to shovel him.

What I didn't expect was that Li Qiao didn't succeed this time. When passing someone, Li Qiao chose to pass through the crotch. This kind of insulting way of passing is also the easiest way to irritate the opponent.

But Li Qiao missed the ball, the ball didn't go through the crotch, and hit Florenzi's right foot, Florenzi took advantage of the trend and started running on the right side of the road.

Florenzi's assist ability is super. Li Qiao turned around and chased after him, but he couldn't catch up. Florenzi looked up after halftime and had a whim, thinking of the game against Barcelona, ​​he lobbed the ball directly in the midfield.

The ball crossed Bayern's half like a meteor, and began to fall after entering the penalty area. Neuer attacked and prepared to pick the ball. At this moment, a black iron tower appeared in front of Neuer-Lukaku.

Neuer has already left the small penalty area, which means that he has no privileges, and Lukaku can compete with him for the top.

But when Lukaku jumped up, Neuer obviously felt a burst of coercion, hard bridge and hard horse, head-to-head, Neuer and Lukaku collided, and no one touched the ball in the end.
