Chapter 227 Champions League Situation
In the second round of the Champions League, Yang Mo was injured and did not play, and Bayern was tied by Juventus.
In that game, Bayern surpassed Juventus in terms of possession rate and number of shots.
But in terms of offense, there is no sharp knife that can make a final decision and end the game.
Whether it's Ribery or Gomez, or other Bayern players.
In Yang Mo's first European game after returning from injury, in the case of Franck Ribery's injury, Yang Mo proved with practical actions that he is more important to Bayern than anyone else.
And to be honest, whether it is Bayern executives or Bayern players, they originally thought that buying Yang Mo was just to cultivate the future for Bayern.
But who would have thought that when this season started, Yang Mo, who was originally regarded as a rising star, unexpectedly became the thigh of the troubled Bayern.
Looking at the previous leagues and the Champions League, as long as Yang Mo participated, it played a vital role.
After three games in the first round of the Champions League, the situation of each group gradually became clear.
First of all, let's talk about Group A where Bayern is located. Bayern has two wins and one draw with seven points and sits firmly at the top of the list.
The veteran Juventus, after two consecutive draws, finally defeated the underdog Maccabi Haifa in this round, won the first Champions League victory this season, and ranked second in Group A with five points.
After this defeat in Bordeaux, they have one win, one draw and one loss, ranking third with four points.
As for the unbeaten Maccabi Haifa, as a baby of points, there is no doubt that it will be out.
In the eyes of the outside world, Bayern's qualifying situation in Group A is very good, unless there is a big collapse in the remaining three rounds of the group stage.
As for the sudden emergence of Bordeaux, and Juventus, which is in a worrying state, it will depend on the three games in the second round for who will qualify.
In addition to Group A, the most eye-catching Champions League is undoubtedly Group F where Barcelona and Inter Milan are located.
In the first round of the game, after Inter Milan drew with Barcelona in the first round, they were unexpectedly drawn by Dynamo Kiev and Rubin Kazan in two rounds.
Compared with Inter Milan, although the defending champion Barcelona defeated Dynamo Kiev in the second round, they lost 1-2 to Rubin Kazan in the third round, which was a shocking upset.
But the most incomprehensible thing is that Rubin Kazan, who defeated Barcelona, just lost to Dynamo Kiev just before.
As a result, after three rounds, in Group F of the death group, only Inter Milan did not win, temporarily ranking last.
Such a chaotic situation also made the appearance of Group F confusing.
And when the media was talking about the first round of the Champions League group stage, Bayern, who was pressed for time, had already returned to Munich.
On October 10, Bayern ushered in the 23th round of the Bundesliga at home, against Frankfurt, which is ninth in the standings.
But on the day of the game, Bayern broke a sad news for the fans.
Ribery, who was eager to come back, participated in training without a complete recovery from the inflammation of the patellar tendon in his left knee, which resulted in a recurrence of the injury.
According to the attending doctor, Franck Ribery's injury recurred this time, and he needed at least one month of treatment.
As soon as this news came out, the Bayern fans who originally thought that Ribery and Yang Mo would be able to see both swords in this game felt a burst of disappointment.
But disappointment is disappointment, the game still has to go on.
On the afternoon of the 23rd, the game continued as usual.
In this game, in the absence of major generals, Van Gaal could only dispatch 442 from the previous game.
However, everyone discovered at the beginning of the game that Frankfurt obviously studied the last Bayern Champions League game, and clearly realized Yang Mo's strength, and launched a strict defense against Yang Mo.
As soon as Yang Mo entered the halftime, he found Frankfurt's No. 2 Oakes closely following him, and No. 16 Spichel faintly assisting him not far away.
However, if this kind of defense against him is placed at the beginning of the season, then Yang Mo may be restricted.
But now, relying on his previous performance in the league and the Champions League, Yang Mo has gradually been established as a core position by Van Gaal when Ribery is not on the court.
Bayern is not Twente, and as the core, the support Yang Mo receives is not only what Twente can give.
So Frankfurt discovered that even though the Bayern players found that Yang Mo was being marked, they still relied on continuous movement to involve their formation, and then they still went to fight Yang Mo.
Faced with this situation, although Frankfurt is very afraid of Yang Mo, it cannot let other Bayern players go, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions in Yang Mo's defense.
And Yang Mo, who received such support, did not let down the help of his teammates after getting the opportunity.
In the No.17 minute of the first half, Muller received the ball in the midfield, and after hitting the wall with Schweinsteiger and breaking into the backcourt, he immediately attracted the attention of several defensive players.
At this moment, Muller suddenly crossed Van Bommel who was going forward. Van Bommel didn't stop the ball at all, and directly passed the ball to Yang Mo's feet.
Because Frankfurt's defensive players are attracted to the right, Yang Mo has no other defensive players besides Oakes.
Facing one person's defense, Yang Mo never let everyone down.
As soon as Cruyff turned around, he shook Oakes away, followed by sprinting with the ball, and rushed all the way into Frankfurt's penalty area.
At this time, although Frankfurt's other defensive players arrived, and the goalkeeper Nikolov also chose to attack, it was too late.
Pulling the ball with his right foot out of the way, and rubbing the football with his left foot into an arc, Yang Mo broke through Frankfurt's goal in an instant.
"Beautiful! This goal is the best embodiment of Yang Mo's personal ability."
"Facing Frankfurt's strict defense in this game, Yang Mo can still seize the opportunity in a flash and score a key goal."
"Leading [-]-[-] now, as long as Bayern strengthens their defense and counterattacks with the help of Yang Mo, the game will be stable."
Although Yang Ma's five sets of declarations made sense, Bayern coach Van Gaal on the sidelines obviously didn't think so.
After Yang Mo's celebration on the field ended, Van Gaal waved his hand to signal the players to continue attacking.
As a person with pride in his heart, Van Gaal cannot accept that he must defend carefully when facing Frankfurt.
And it was Van Gaal's decision that caused twists and turns in this game.
At the end of the 43rd minute of the first half, Bayern, who relied on pass control to infiltrate the offense according to Van Gaal's instructions, made a pass error in the midfield.
This error was seized by Frankfurt player Chris No. 29, who intercepted the pass and passed it to the frontcourt.
After the forward No. 14 Frankfurt forward Meyer succeeded in countering offside, he received the ball to form a single goal.
Although Bayern's goalkeeper Bout chose to attack at the first time, he still failed to stop Meyer's single-handedly, and was pushed by Meyer to score a goal from a long distance.
