Chapter 167
After the match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, the Champions League rekindled the battle and ushered in the final round of the group stage. Regarding the last life-and-death battle, both Bayern Munich and Juventus became highly nervous. Even Bayern Chairman Football Emperor Beckenbauer bluntly said in an interview that he did not dare to watch Bayern's away game against Juventus.
Both clubs tried their best to disturb their opponents. Juventus bluntly said that an outstanding center like Toni should not sit on the bench, but now the situation of Toni is known to the whole world, so Bayern Munich followed suit and expressed their interest in Juventus Scigliani. If possible, Bayern Munich is willing to add Toni to the deal.
The reason for using player transactions to disturb the hearts of the teams is because the winter break is approaching and the transfer market is about to reopen. Of course, the head coaches and players of the two teams are not idle. During interviews, they constantly expressed the determination of the teams and their determination to win this game.
On October 10th, Van Gaal led Bayern Munich to Turin. This time Li Feng still came with the team. Facing a life-and-death battle, Bayern Munich had thousands of fans coming with the team. At the same time, Son Yejin and Silvia also came to Italy, but they did not come to Turin.
Such a battle, the scene is bound to be hot, and it may not be safe for the two girls to go to the scene. You must know that there are various problems and riots among Italian fans, and they happen quite frequently. Juventus was almost banned by UEFA fans from entering the stadium because of their racial discrimination.
So Li Feng arranged for the two to go to Milan for fun. As a fashion capital, Milan is definitely one of the most popular cities for women, so after Li Feng said the reason, Son Yezhen and Silvia stopped insisting on going to Turin to watch the match between Bayern Munich and Juventus.
On the afternoon of the 9th, Italian time, at the Olympic Stadium in Turin, Juventus rented the home stadium of Turin because Juventus' Del Alpi Stadium was being demolished and rebuilt.
The biggest change in Bayern Munich's lineup and the league is that Van Bommel replaced Li Feng as the starter, Robben still sits on the bench, and Juventus have undergone major changes. Chiglieni unfortunately suffered a calf injury during training and was replaced by Lelotaglie. At the same time, the right back became Caceres.
With the Swiss referee Busacca's whistle, this round of life-and-death battle officially began. Van Bommel, who had a rare opportunity in this game, performed very positively and outstandingly. He almost scored in the opening 1 minutes. His shot went past Buffon, but he couldn't escape the blocking of the post.
In the 20th minute of the game, the Argentine central defender stepped forward with the ball and wanted to organize an attack, but was blocked by Diego. Then Diego immediately gave the ball to Marchisio on the left, who passed Trezeguet diagonally, and the French center volleyed in the penalty area to break the deadlock.
Trezeguet finally broke his scoring drought in the Champions League. You must know that his last goal in the Champions League was more than three years ago, in March 2006. With this goal, Trezeguet's total goals in the Champions League increased to 29.
Unlike Juventus's celebration, Bayern Munich fans and the bench fell into silence, except for the furious Van Gaal, this unexpected goal can be said to have pushed Bayern Munich to the edge of a cliff.
Then under Van Gaal's order, Bayern Munich launched a crazy counterattack. Schweinsteiger, Olić and Gomez successively completed shots, but it was not these goalscorers who helped Bayern equalize the score, but Bayern Munich goalkeeper Bout.
No.30 minutes, Olic was tripped by Caceres, a young player on loan from Barcelona, in the Juventus penalty area. The referee Busaka immediately awarded a penalty to Bayern Munich.
This can be said to be Bayern Munich's first penalty this season, and Bout is a well-known penalty goalkeeper in the Bundesliga. He is not only good at saving penalties, but also very good at kicking them. So far, he has scored 26 goals in the Bundesliga, which is quite incredible for a goalkeeper.
What's even more incredible is that Bout scored two penalty kicks in the Champions League before, against Juventus. Bout also had a very strange relationship with Ferrara. Bout faced Juventus before Ferrara was a witness, and the first penalty was officially given to Bout for a foul by Ferrara, but it was when he was playing for Hamburg and Leverkusen. All disappointed.
Facing the world’s No. 10 goalkeeper Buffon, the same goalkeeper Bout calmly drew the ball to the lower left corner of the fans with his right foot. Buffon misjudged and Bayern Munich evened the score in only [-] minutes.
After scoring the goal, Bayern Munich did not stop the offensive. Van Gaal showed the madness of the Dutchman at this moment. He continued to direct the team's offense. Although he did not score again in the first half, Bayern Munich always had the advantage and attacked Juventus madly.
In order to strengthen the control of the middle, Ferrara replaced Del Piero with Paulson, who had just come back from the ban, and moved Camoranesi forward to help Diego and Trezeguet. Unfortunately, Ferrara's substitution did not achieve any effect.
In the opening 6 minutes of the second half, Diego made a mistake with Camoranesi, Planjic interrupted the ball, Schweinsteiger cooperated with Van Bommel, and finally the former completed a high-quality shot. Although Buffon saved the baseline, Bayern also won a corner kick.
With this corner kick, Bayern Munich completed the overtake of the score and firmly controlled the game in their own hands. Schweinsteiger took the corner kick. Van Buyten once again showed his ability in header, grabbed the first point and completed the attack.
After the goal, Olic stretched out his right index finger and put it on his mouth, signaling the Juventus fans to shut up. From the beginning to now, the boos and insults from the Juventus fans have never stopped, and even the Bayern players in the stands have not been able to escape the greetings of the Juventus fans.
Olić's behavior did not have any effect, but was regarded as a provocation by the fans. As a result, Juventus fans booed even more, but they didn't care about it at all for the leading Bayern Munich.
After being overtaken by Bayern Munich, Juventus fell into a difficult situation. For this reason, Ferrara had to make a last-ditch effort. He first replaced Diego, who was in poor condition, with Amauri. This season, Diego came to Italy with a high transfer value.
Then he replaced Melo with the young Italian winger Giovinco. Melo, who also came with Diego, was not recognized by Juventus. What's more, when Melo was replaced, Juventus fans booed him. After the adjustment, Juventus changed 433.
But the substitution did not bring Juventus the desired change, but further pushed Juventus into the abyss. After losing Diego and Melo in the middle, Juventus's disadvantage became more and more obvious.
With this victory, Bayern Munich successfully entered the Champions League knockout rounds and sent Juventus to the UEFA Cup.
