As soon as Lin Yun's toes touched the football, Neuer rushed over to him, holding the ball and feet in his arms. Lin Yun rolled over him.
"...Lin Yun was tripped to the ground by Neuer in front of the goal. The referee had no reaction, but when Robben and Szczesny collided just now, he gave a red dot package! I was a little confused I don’t understand, are there two sets of law enforcement standards for this game?”
The whole audience burst into boos, and even Wenger got a little carried away and ran quickly to find the fourth official to ask for an explanation.
Arteta also ran to the referee, "Isn't this a foul? No penalty?"
The referee just shook his head and said nothing.
One of the most famous conspiracy theories in the Champions League is that the Premier League is always deliberately targeted, and this goal has undoubtedly deepened this impression.
The first half of the game ended in a hurry, and the two sides entered the locker room with a score of 1-1.
During the halftime break, major broadcast platforms were constantly replaying Lin Yun's backcourt lob that broke the record for the longest goal in the Champions League, and the coaches of both sides were making adjustments intensively.
Wenger's on-the-spot command level is well known, and it is impossible to expect him to play any tricks. The most he can do is give the players a few more mouthfuls of Gallic chicken soup.
As for Guardiola...if you are a person who has traveled back in time from 2020 onwards, you must know Guagua's most well-known old problem: he will have an inexplicable lack of confidence when it comes to key games, and then seek innovation and change. Down the road of never returning, abbreviated as...love to do the work.
There is no doubt that the game against Arsenal is the biggest challenge Guagua has encountered since taking charge of Bayern.
Not only because Bayern was eliminated by Arsenal last year, but also because Arsenal is now almost one of the best teams in Europe and the absolute king of the Champions League.
Although everyone knows that most of this so-called state is supported by Lin Yun alone, but as someone who has coached the peak Messi, Guardiola certainly knows that when a person's individual combat power reaches a certain level, he can give What a difference the team makes.
So he began to worry that Dante and Boateng would be eaten alive by Lin Yun again, began to worry that Neuer would be remotely blasted by Lin Yun again, and began to worry that his 4-1-4-1 had been seen through by Wenger.
As soon as the persecution paranoia broke out, he couldn't help but play tricks.
"At the beginning of the second half, Guardiola replaced Martinez with Rafinha? A full-back replaced a midfielder. What about Lahm?"
The answer is that Lahm plays as a defensive midfielder...
In such a highly anticipated Champions League knockout match, Guagua finally gave up his familiar style of play, bet on surprise, and chose to go crazy.
No one can understand how a well-known military commander would start to feel guilty as soon as he fights a tough battle for Mao Xian.
"It's over. Based on my years of experience, Bayern is going to end this one..."
"Is this crazy? In the first half, Bayern almost relied on the line of Lahm + Robben. Now you move Lahm to the middle? Isn't this a self-defeating martial arts?"
"Lahm as a defensive midfielder? Has he forgotten that Arsenal now also play long balls and lobs?"
"Fuck, there's obviously one more player to beat, and there's another away goal. You just have to play according to your own routine. Even if you can't win, a draw from here is not an unacceptable result, but you have to do it anyway. Moth!"
No one knows what Guardiola thinks, maybe not even himself. Anyway, diversity of defenders and imaginative formations have always been his hallmarks. As for whether the players can understand his intentions, it depends on their own I understand...
Almost everyone is not optimistic about Guardiola's adjustments, but facts have proven that Guagua's move is so effective.
Not long after the game started, Bayern got a corner kick opportunity.
Cross took the ball and found Mandzukic accurately, but the latter pushed it over the crossbar.
This ball also kicked off Bayern's frenzied attack.
In the 51st minute, Gotze made a direct pass over the top, and Alaba's shot from a small angle 9 meters away from the goal on the left side of the penalty area was received by Fabianski.
In the 53rd minute, Robben cut in from the right and volleyed his left foot from the edge of the penalty area but was confiscated by Fabianski.
In the 55th minute, Robben received a pass from Ram and shot diagonally from the right side of the penalty area, but Fabianski saved the ball again...
"In the first ten minutes, Bayern Munich completed many threatening offensives. Arsenal was almost suppressed in their own half! Even if they couldn't compete with Bayern, they should have counterattacked, but we didn't counterattack even once. You see, Bayern’s control over the midfield is really strong!”
"This can't go on like this..."
Almost everyone at Arsenal knows this.
Modric has been used as a defensive midfielder, and Lin Yun has also retreated to the midfield. Arsenal only has Walcott as a guest center in front, but even so, Bayern still beats them out of breath. .
Wenger anxiously discussed countermeasures with his coaching staff, but before they could discuss one, two, three, Guardiola made adjustments first.
"In the 60th minute of the game, Guardiola replaced Franck Ribery with Muller, who had been inactive in this game. It seems that he needs to further strengthen his offensive, but Arsenal has not yet come up with effective countermeasures..."
Muller's appearance further increased Arsenal's defensive pressure.
Unlike Ribery, this kid doesn't need to have the ball at his feet. He can mess up Arsenal's defense just by relying on his elusive running without the ball.
Cross immediately seized the loophole, got the ball in the middle and suddenly split the ball.
Lahm didn't know when he returned to the right, directly dribbling the ball into the penalty area, and decisively knocked the ball back when Koscielny came to intercept.
Cross quickly stepped in and completed a signature putt shot.
The football drew an arc against the turf and rolled into the near corner of the goal.
1-2.
"GOAL!!! Bayern indeed scored first! Guardiola's adjustments worked wonders. Bayern took the lead again and scored two valuable away goals!"
"The cooperation between Kroos and Lahm is very tacit. This is Bayern's 100th goal in official games this season. Kroos's last goal in the Champions League was exactly one year ago on February 19, which was also the first leg of the 1/8 finals. A visit to the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal became the 10th team to score more than 10 goals against Bayern in the Champions League..."
"The game has started for an hour, and Bayern has a ball possession rate of 73% in these 60 minutes. The number of passes between the two sides is 702 to 209! Bayern Munich is also far ahead in the number of shots!"
Looking at the data alone, Bayern was simply crushed, but in fact, the two sides played evenly in the first half, and everything changed starting in the second half.
Bayern started celebrating wildly, and Guardiola jumped up and down exaggeratedly, clenching his fists and waving his hands in the air.
If you want to find a team in the world that Bayern wants to beat most, most Bayern fans will not choose Dortmund or Borussia Monchengladbach, but Arsenal.
Last season's animosity and the aura of ridicule surrounding the defending champions gave them a high level of fighting spirit against Arsenal.
Arteta loudly encouraged morale, while Wenger called Lin Yun and Magic Flute to the sidelines to discuss countermeasures.
Wenger first looked at Lin Yun, "What's going on? Are those two Germans difficult to deal with?"
Lin Yun's performance in the second half was indeed not good. Although he was not completely locked out, he was far less active than the first half.
Lin Yun shook his head and said he would not accept the blame, "There is too little support in the midfield and backcourt! Count yourself, how many balls were passed in the second half?"
"Their control is too strong," Magic Flute said. "Our opportunities are very limited and we have to make some changes."
"Let's keep it simple. After you get the ball, try to hang it forward. Leave the rest to me!"
"I will send Giroud up to help you," Wenger grabbed Lin Yun's shoulder and shook it, "I don't care what method you use, I only have one request, kick the ball in!"
The game begins again.
"Giroud replaced Theo Walcott, so Wenger completely overturned his pre-match tactical arrangement, leaving only Modric in the attacking midfield position. As a result, Bayern faced The control of the field will be further strengthened, and Arsenal will become more and more passive!"
"The quick counterattack that Arsenal is proud of failed to come out. It seems that the strategy will be changed! Giroud will come up as a support point, and the frontcourt offensive task will fall on Lin Yun alone!"
He Wei's analysis is correct. After Lin Yun stopped retreating, Bayern's control of the midfield has reached a crazy level, resulting in Bayern almost always having the ball.
The situation didn't seem to have changed at all, Bayern was still bombarding the Gunners' goal.
In the 63rd minute, Kroos passed a diagonal pass from the left over the top. Robben did not shoot from the right side of the penalty area. He wanted to push it to Mandzukic who was outflanking on the other side, but Fabianski saved it first.
In the 65th minute, Robben's left-footed curve ball from the edge of the penalty area on the right side missed the far post.
In the 70th minute, Lahm made a pass from the midfielder, Gotze rushed forward and was blocked by Mertesacker...
It wasn't until the 75th minute of the game that Giroud touched a football for the first time.
Modric completed a wonderful steal, but Muller and Gotze immediately rushed forward to counterattack frantically. He had no time to observe and could only hurriedly hit the ball towards Bayern's goal.
The ones responsible for defending Lin Yun are now Boateng and Rafinha, while Dante turns to take care of Giroud.
Giroud nailed the penalty area, while Lin Yun pressed on the penalty area line, ready to put pressure on Bayern's goal at any time.
The football landed in the penalty area, and five people rushed over at the same time, but the first one to touch the ball was Neuer who attacked.
Relying on his height and long arms, the Bayern goalkeeper forced the ball away with one hand over Giroud and Dante.
The football flew high out of the penalty area.
"Modric made a long pass from the backcourt, and Neuer made a one-handed clearance! His attack was timely, and it seemed that he was not affected by the goal in the first half and still insisted on his own characteristics..."
Lin Yun was the first to see Neuer attack.
He stopped without even waiting for the results.
Boateng and Rafinha couldn't brake in time, one bumped into him and the other ran past him.
The football fell to the front right of the penalty area, and Boateng knew something was wrong at the first sight.
Guardiola on the sidelines was even more frightened and made emoticons.
As expected, Lin Yun was the first to reach the spot where the football landed.
Not long after Ibrahimovic won the Puskas Award, everyone looked at this familiar scene, and what appeared in front of their eyes was the scene of Da Fengxian's overhead shot from outside the penalty area.
Lin Yun did not disappoint everyone and honestly followed the script.
Jump high with your back to the goal and hang the golden hook upside down.
Boateng then jumped hard and tried to stop the ball with his head, but it was doomed to be in vain.
"Bang!"
Neuer ran back towards the goal, but the football had already flown over his head.
"If you don't get in, you won't get in!"
Everyone in the audience had stood up, staring intently at the football in the air.
Lin Yun got up immediately after falling to the ground, turned around and looked back, just in time to see the football fall into the net.
"GOAL!!! Lin Yun hooked up with a golden hook outside the penalty area, helping Arsenal tie the score!"
"Lin Yun recreated Ibrahimovic's amazing overhead kick against England! The two goals were almost identical! The difference was that there was no one around Ibrahimovic when he shot, and Lin Yun also You have to get rid of the two defenders first..."
"The shooting distance is 34 meters! It's further than Ibrahimovic's!"
Lin Yun immediately ran to the sidelines, knelt down and glided the three bars.
Giroud was the first to run over, and he knelt down next to him. The two of them looked up to the sky and roared together.
"The score is 2-2, and both sides are back on the same starting line! It's not easy. Arsenal was almost beaten throughout the second half. This opportunity can't even be called an opportunity, but Lin Yun still hit the ball in. !”
Guardiola held his head in his hands and his eyes were bigger than bells.
Wenger was so happy that he ran towards Lin Yun without caring about his old arms and legs.
Lin Yun quickly stood up and hugged him heavily.
The emotions of the home fans were stimulated to a higher level by this master-disciple relationship. Screams and shouts resounded through the Emirates Stadium like a mountain and a tsunami.
"I don't know if Ibrahimovic is watching this game. If so, I don't know what kind of evaluation he would have on Lin Yun's goal..."
The match between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayer Leverkusen was the day before, and Ibrahimovic was actually watching the match today.
Not long after he came back from the game between Barcelona and Milan, he saw Arsenal being beaten like a dog, and he was ready to go back to the game, but he didn't expect to see this scene next.
He had already stood up when Lin Yun ran towards the football, rushed to the TV, and stared at Lin Yun's every move without blinking.
The moment the football entered the goal, he burst out laughing.
This guy fought pretty well.
It's a pity that Zlatan has already scored this goal!
There is no doubt that this goal greatly improved Arsenal's morale. After the game started again, their offense gradually increased, but Bayern quickly took control of the rhythm after the initial panic.
In the 80th minute, Robben habitually cut inside and then hit the goal. The ball hit the crossbar with a bang, and Bayern missed his third goal.
In the 85th minute, Gotze made a cross from the left, and Cross pushed and shot again, but this time he failed to test the goalkeeper and the football slipped out.
In the 92nd minute, Arsenal launched a quick counterattack, Wilshere made a beautiful pass, and Giroud sent the ball into the arms of Neuer with a low shot.
This was the last shot of the game, and the two sides ended the first round 2-2.
"The game is over, Arsenal relied on Lin Yun's brace to tenaciously draw with Bayern Munich with one less player.
Three weeks later, the two sides will face off in the second round at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich not only plays at home, but also has two away goals. It has the advantage in this round of duel. I wonder if Arsenal can create another miracle by then. Let us wait and see..."
