Chapter 937 The Right Way
Chapter 937 The Right Way
Ribery's way of participating in the offense is no longer running with the ball all the way with his head buried.
Although he is still active on the wing most of the time, he pays more attention to cooperating with his teammates.
He's not even greedy for possession of the ball anymore.
When the football reaches his feet, he will pass the football very quickly.
Unless the opportunity is particularly good, he will not run with the ball himself.
Especially near the Manchester City penalty area, the number of his passes has increased significantly.
"Franck Ribery's activity is really unexpected. You must know that his offensive performance in the first half was as invisible..."
"Yes, it was Robben, not him, who was the most active player in Bayern Munich in the first half. But when Robben was suppressed by Rong, now Ribery is active again..."
Even Van Gaal, the head coach of Bayern Munich, was a little surprised. After seeing Ribery's performance, he got up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, and then stared at Ribery.
In 1 minute, Ribéry suddenly passed the ball to Thomas Muller at the front of the penalty area. Muller shot from outside the penalty area and forced Joe Hart to make a beautiful save.
"Oh! Amazing! After Manchester City's goal, Joe Hart has been relaxed for a long time, and now we see him again with a wonderful save... But it shows that Bayern Munich's offensive is on!"
"Franck Ribery's sudden pass after the breakthrough caught Manchester City's defense a little off guard-they thought Ribery was going to continue to dribble the ball to the bottom line..."
The TV broadcast started with a close-up of Ribery, who was yelling something at Thomas Müller and, judging by his gestures, seemed to be asking Müller to come closer...
"Thomas, you have to get closer to me!" Ribery really said to Müller. "In this way, it will be less difficult for me to pass the ball, and we can continue to cooperate better!"
Mueller froze for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, I get it, Frank. But having said that... the ball you passed just now really surprised me, if I didn't react quickly..." Muller began to boast.
Ribery gestured to him: "Okay, Thomas. Then you can react faster!"
※※※
Ribery's sudden activity made Manchester City's defense tight again.
This greatly exceeded the expectations of Manchester City. They thought that after Rong Guang suppressed Robben, Manchester City's defense should be safe.
So during this time, Manchester City played quite passively.
And at No. 603 minutes, their goal was declared lost.
This time Ribery did not take the ball from the wing, but sent an over-the-top pass directly after receiving the pass from his teammate in the center.
Gomez slashed in, received the ball behind Manchester City's back line, turned around and hit!
The football flew directly into the far lower corner of the goal. The goalkeeper Joe Hart didn't react at all, just watched the football fly into the goal he was guarding...
"Oh! Oh-oh! Bayern Munich equalized the score! 1:1! Mario Gomez!!" When John Mortensen said this, everyone could hear how frustrated he was.
With great difficulty, Manchester City took the lead, and now it has allowed Bayern Munich to equalize the score.
For an inexperienced team like Manchester City, this must be a blow to their morale.They lack the experience to deal with such situations in the Champions League.
He worried that the conceded goal would deal a heavy blow to Manchester City, and then affect the rest of the game.
"Actually, before the goal was conceded, Bayern Munich's offensive was already very fierce, and Manchester City's defense was in jeopardy. And this danger is different from the danger in the first half. The danger in the first half only came from Robben's shot, which is relatively easy to guard against. At least Diego Godin has gradually become accustomed to Robben's offensive routine after Robben's initial offensive. Robinho's goal was actually formed after Godin steals Robben in advance..." Alan Hansen The side analyzed.
"But this crisis in the second half was obviously different. The attack was initiated by Ribery, but Ribery was not the last to score. He hid himself well among the Bayern Munich players and gave the football to his teammates instead of letting himself fight alone. From this point of view, Ribery's performance is much smarter than Robben. This will increase the difficulty of Manchester City's defense, so that Manchester City players do not know when Ribery is going to shoot by himself or pass to other Manchester City players..."
※※※
Van Gaal also saw this scene. When the people around him were cheering for the equalizing goal, he was not very excited. He set his eyes on Ribery.
He squinted as Ribéry celebrated the goal with his team-mates.
At this time, Ribery seems to have a core meaning.
Van Gaal thought in his heart, if this is not Ribéry's occasional performance... then he has more confidence in Bayern Munich's performance this season.
In fact, after Robben came to Bayern Munich, he once gave him some hints, hoping to make himself the core of the team.In terms of personal ability, Robben is of course qualified to be the core, but Van Gaal has not expressed his opinion for a long time, because he wants to see Ribery's performance.
Franck Ribery's strength is not weak. If you just deny Ribery's core position so easily, and then give this position to Robben, if you don't have a reason to do so, doing so will simply create conflicts in the locker room...
So Van Gaal has always been cautious.
Judging from this game alone, Ribery let him see what he wanted to see.

After Gomez's goal, the Manchester City Stadium suddenly fell silent, and it was the turn of the Bayern Munich fans to cheer.
Amidst the cheers of the Bayern Munich fans, Kieren Reiswell looked at some Manchester City players in a daze on the pitch.
The thought stubbornly surfaced in my mind again - it's useless, no matter how hard we try, this is our first Champions League match after all, we can't beat giants like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid... Look!Here is the proof!
Thinking so in his heart, Kieren Reiswell's eyes fell on Rong Guang involuntarily.
He saw Rong Guang waving at his teammates.
※※※
"Okay, it's no big deal." Rong Guang slapped his hands and said to his teammates on the field.
Then he got Joe Hart to kick the football over and it was time for the kickoff.
After receiving the football, he turned and ran back, ran to the middle circle, threw the football down, and stepped on the midpoint with his foot.
"Come on, get ready to tee off!" he shouted to his stunned teammates.
With his call, the Manchester City players recovered, and everyone returned to their positions.
Ready to kick off again.
At this time, the commentators were still worried about Manchester City, worried that this ball would greatly damage Manchester City's morale.
No one can see that Manchester City has actually recovered from the blow of just conceding the ball.
If there is any Manchester City player who has panicked at the ball, look at the glory.When they saw that their captains were so composed, what was there to worry about?
The past season has proved such an unbreakable truth countless times: as long as Yourong is on the court, there is nothing to worry about any problems on the court!
This is not a superstition, it has been proved by countless games.
As long as Rong Guang didn't panic, then they had nothing to panic about.
※※※
Ribery and his teammates celebrated the goal and ran back to their own half. On the way, he saw the glorious performance.
The expression on his face was very calm and calm, as if he didn't take this conceded goal to heart, he has such qualifications.
However... Ribery was not intimidated by Rongguang's calmness, he already knew the right path, and he was not afraid of competing with Rongguang.
Confronting glory head-on, this may be the best way to get rid of the shadow of glory.
※※※
The game started quickly, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.
Robben appeared anxious after the game reconvened.
Although Ribery didn't score a goal, all the team's threatening offenses have now gone to his side. Robben doesn't want to lose to Ribery.
He also wanted to threaten City's goal on his side.
He doesn't want to be compared to Ribery in the competition with Ribery.
He did have a chance to show himself, but in the end his dribbling was blocked by the joint defense of Leighton Barnes and Matuidi. He didn't even cut inside and lost the ball.
Then the football was sent to Rongguang's feet.
Robben saw Rongguang take the ball, and he just tried to return to defense.
Of course, after he caught up with Rongguang, Rongguang passed the football out, and he missed the chase this time.
"Roben's offensive method is too simple, too easy to be seen and steal the ball, maybe...he should pass the ball more, and don't always think about dribbling the ball alone to solve the problem..."
"Roben believes too much in his own ability, but obviously, his technical characteristics have been thoroughly studied by Manchester City, and after Rong was transferred here, it is basically impossible for Robben to receive support from the backcourt..."
……
The commentators began to criticize Robben. You must know that when Robben performed well in the first half, what they said was completely different...
But today Robben should be criticized.
Obviously, Bayern Munich's left attack is basically abolished, just because there is one him, as long as the ball falls to his feet, it will be broken in all likelihood in the end.
On the other hand, Franck Ribery played impressively. After scoring the goal, Bayern Munich obviously increased their investment in the attack on the left.
Bayern Munich is not only satisfied with scoring one point in the away game, their goal has not changed from the beginning to now, that is...to take all three points and get a good start in the UEFA Champions League in the new season!
