Chapter 371: Fighting Basel Again!
The gap in points with the Hornets widened to double digits again, and the pressure on Bayern was greatly reduced, but they immediately focused on the upcoming Champions League match.
Heinx seemed very cautious in an interview with Munich media: "Although we led 2-0 in the first leg, we can't relax at all. After all, the football game is full of surprises, so we are now fully preparing for the match against Basel."
When talking about the arrangement of the teams in the match against Basel, he said: "Robben has just returned from injury. We still have to consider whether he can adapt to the intense game immediately."
Due to Gomez's injury, Heinx actually only has so many cards in his hand. If Robben is not playing on the right, Olic will play.
As for Wang Qi, the biggest possibility is to fill the center vacancy left by Gomez.
Ribery has recovered recently and it is impossible for him to sit on the bench.
...
At 10:00 a.m. on the 14th, Basel and his party appeared at Munich International Airport. In an interview with reporters, Basel coach said: "I failed to defeat Bayern at home in the first round, making the second round difficult. Everyone knows the horror of Allianz Arena."
"However, we will not give up and we will strive to win!"
A reporter from Munich Evening News asked: "Bayern just won 7-0 in Allianz Arena three days ago. Robben, who just returned from injury, scored a goal. Do you have any defensive strategies for him?"
Basel coach replied: "Robben is not a problem, the king is the problem. If we fail to solve the king's point well, we will be very passive."
...
"'Roben is not a problem, the king is the problem. If we fail to solve the king well, we will be very passive.', Alger, listen, you are nothing in the eyes of others now."
Muller put one hand on Robben's shoulder and teased the Dutch.
Robben had already passed his green years, and he said in pain: "Hey, I'm old, so I'm no longer an important person in the hearts of others."
This answer is obviously not what Mueller wants.
"Arjie, you should fight back with great courage. 'Those who despise me will have to pay a heavy price!'"
Roben raised his eyebrows, looked at Wang Qi not far away, and said with a smile: "Just let him say such words, I... forget it..."
"Quick! You guys are so hard-working, what are you two doing?"
Mueller and Robben smiled at each other. Is this guy so smart? He heard us talking about him?
"Okay, here we come!"
Muller shouted at Wang Qi, and seemed to be galloping. Robben bent over the side with a smile.
Muller is the "live treasure" of Bayern!
...
At 7 o'clock in the evening, a large number of fans gathered in Allianz Arena, and the players of the two teams took buses into the stadium.
At 7:45, the starting players of both sides walked out of the player passage under the leadership of four referees, and they were greeted by tsunami cheers.
Robben, Wang Qi, and Ribery, who returned from injury, formed a new trident!
The German TV commentator said: "This offensive combination appeared in the Bundesliga six times, and Bayern won all the games in those six games, so this combination is worthy of expectations!"
Bayern fans in the stands are also full of expectations for this combination.
"Robben, Chinese boy, Ribery, such an offensive combination can scatter across Europe!"
"It turns out that the Chinese boy had a conflict with Ribery. Now they have reconciled. Tonight is an exciting night!"
"New Trident! Oh, New Trident!"
...
"Beep!..."
At eight o'clock, the match between Bayern and Basel began with the referee's whistle.
Basel, who served first, transferred the football to the backcourt, and Bayern immediately rushed to press, because this is their home court and they cannot slacke in any slackness.
Under Bayern's pressing from the frontcourt, Basel accelerated the pass speed and advanced to the frontcourt.
In the third minute of the first half, Basel attacked from the right, Huger forced a cross from the bottom, and the football was pushed out of the penalty area by Boateng. Haka flew forward to control the football, and Gustavo immediately stepped forward to block it.
Haka had no choice but to pass the ball, ready to transfer the ball to Frey's feet on the right.
The alert Mueller had long judged his intentions, and as soon as he made a step forward, he got stuck in front of Frey, stealing the football.
Counterattack!
Bayern now has three very fast forwards, so a quick counterattack has become one of their sharpest offensive weapons.
Mueller found that Ribery on the left was unmarked, so he kicked a mid-air ball and passed the ball to the left.
"Bang!..."
Ribery did not stop the ball when facing Steinherfer's scramble to Basel's right, and jumped up gently and knocked the ball directly into the air to Wang Qi who was responding in the middle.
Wang Qi spread his chest and controlled the football, then passed the ball diagonally, and the football rolled behind Steinherfer.
Pass horizontally and directly into two and one!
Ribery, who was running forward, began to speed up, stretched out her left foot and pushed the ball forward with a sudden push!
Basel opens on the left!
Wang Qi followed up on the middle and Robben followed up on the right, forming a situation where two ghosts slammed the door!
"Bang!..."
When Basel's full-back and central defender were about to double-team, Ribery made a crossover with a downward triangle pass.
Wang Qi stepped forward and stretched out his right foot, then led backwards, and then gently pushed to the front right!
Basel central defender Abraham struggled to block the ball because Wang Qi could definitely take a kick!
However, Wang Qi did not shoot, but pushed the ball gently to the front right.
Robben stepped forward like lightning and controlled the football two steps, raised his left foot and pushed it into a shot!
Allianz Arena is full of expectations, Bayern is going to score a goal!
On the court, Basel goalkeeper Somo showed his value in times of danger, and instantly rushed to his right side!
It is obvious that he conducted in-depth research on Robben and knew that Robben's favorite angle to shoot was on the left side of the goal.
The next moment, Suomo stretched to the extreme right hand and pushed the football out of the goal range, then flew to the bottom line!
"boom!……"
There was a huge regret sound at the Allianz Arena, followed by thunderous applause.
The German TV commentator said loudly: "Robben just returned from injury and has not yet recovered to his best condition. He missed this opportunity to score!
This was a very exciting quick counterattack. Ribery acted as a breakthrough player in this counterattack. The Chinese boy played the role of a bridge, connecting the two sides, and Robben acted as a terminator.
Although this attack failed to turn into a goal, it played Bayern's offensive power!"
Chapter completed!
