Chapter 401 No need to give up
Robben stood in front of the penalty spot, faced Cesar, looked at the ball and looked up again.
A goalkeeper and a penalty kicker are also fighting wits and courage at this time. This is a penalty kick that can even determine who can advance to the semi-finals.
The entire Mestalia Stadium is also trying to create various sounds to interfere with Robben, or some fans have closed their eyes and dared not watch this scene.
Once Bayern Munich reverses the score, Valencia must attack, and it will be even more difficult for them to advance, because the defense line may be exposed to Bayern Munich's bigger loopholes.
Xu Qi was not nervous. Although he also hoped that the ball would not be able to be played, Xu Qi did not think that even if Robben scored, he would be able to do anything. After all, the first half of the game had just ended, and Xu Qi had not shown his offensive talent. After all, his position was too far behind in the first half, and it would be difficult to complete the counterattack because he was in the backcourt. Therefore, if Valencia wanted to attack his position in the second half, it would be a prerequisite. By then, Bayern's defense line might not be able to defend his breakthrough.
It is hard to say who will win this game.
Robben assisted with running, swung his left foot and hit the left side of the goal with a push. Cesar saved the ball in the wrong direction, and the ball easily entered the net!
2-0, the total score has now become four-3, and Bayern Munich is now leading!
"The ball is in, Robben! The penalty kick is hit. Now Valencia has become the side that needs to strengthen its offense. The next game will probably be more exciting." Duan Xuan explained.
The game is full of suspense. Neither side can guarantee the ability to not concede the ball without passing the defense. Now it depends on who has higher offensive efficiency and whose defense has more problems.
Cesar picked up the football from the penalty area and threw it directly into the frontcourt. The ball just flew to Xu Qi. Xu Qi easily stopped the ball at his feet, pushed the ball, and pushed it into the middle circle.
Less than a few seconds after the mid-circle kick-off, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, and the score of the first half ended 2-0.
During the halftime break, Emery naturally started to arrange the players' offense. Emery did not set up a five-back formation in this game. He did not want to be too conservative at home, but now it seems that if he set up a five-back, he might not have conceded two goals now.
However, this also prevented him from making adjustments. The team must strengthen the offense in the second half, so Xu Qi's position must be advanced accordingly.
Although Xu Qi's position in the first half was nominally a left winger, he actually retreated too much. Sometimes he was not only more like a left forward, but even participated in the defense like a left back. Next, in the second half, Emery asked Xu Qi to play more like a left winger!
Similarly, the forward line position will move forward overall in the second half. They will fight Bayern Munich to the death in the last forty-five minutes at their home court, Mestalia Stadium!
...
There is no substitution, but the formation has changed.
The second half begins.
Emery and Heinkes were still standing in the command area on both sides of the court, and players from both sides had already entered the court and were on standby.
When the referee whistle sounds, the second half of the game begins.
In the second half, Valencia was obviously more proactive. Now they are the side behind in terms of total scores, so they should seek attack.
The next period of time is a real offensive battle. Of course, Bayern will not defend to the death, and they cannot defend. Heinx is also very clear about this. Instead of giving up the ball and defending, it is better to control the ball and attack.
For Bayern Munich now, offense is the best defense at this time.
Of course, Valencia has only one road in Huashan and attacks with all its strength.
Compared with the first half, Bayern Munich's offense is not that fierce. Although they are also attacking, their offensive investment is actually far less than that of the first half. After all, their defense is under greater pressure now, and Schweinsteiger and Gustavododo need to participate in the defense.
Heinx also made a substitution adjustment at this time, replacing Thomas Mueller and Tony Cross!
This substitution is actually seeking stability. Tony Cross's position is far behind Thomas Mueller, and Cross can invest more energy in defense, which is why Heinx chooses this way.
However, this substitution actually made Bayern Munich lose one tooth on the offensive end, which generally has both pros and cons.
Of course, Valencia doesn't care so much. What they think about now is goals!
Attack!
Attack!
In the sixty-three minutes, he broke through the left side and got a chance to kick the ball. His shot from the far corner was slightly off.
Then, Ribery also completed an inward cut and shot like Xu Qi, and also missed the goal. However, Ribery missed from the near corner and Xu Qi missed from the far corner.
The situation on the scene becomes more and more nervous the end.
Valencia only needs one goal to regain the advantage and regain their hope of advancement.
Being reversed is absolutely unpleasant. He obviously defeated his opponent away, but when he returned to home, he turned around against the North. This is not the style of Valencia!
Watching the opponent celebrate the promotion and victory at his home court is definitely unpleasant.
Seventy-five minutes have passed, and the final ending is very close. Xu Qi began to wave to call on more players to participate in the offense.
Emery also arranged for Alba to play and replace Mathieu, which was considered to strengthen the attack on the wing.
At the same time, Joaquin's physical fitness declined and was replaced by Domingos.
Emery also hopes that the team will pursue victory as much as possible.
The team's journey must not end in this game.
As time goes by, Bayern Munich has invested more and more energy in defense, and Heinkes doesn't want to take risks. He hopes that the team will win the game as much as possible, and there is not much time left. Of course, they have to defend as much as possible.
Even Mario Gomez was replaced, and Heinx replaced Van Biten, who had just returned, which was also a big signal for him to strengthen his defense.
The resistance to Valencia's offense is getting stronger and stronger. Many fans at Mestalia Stadium have shed tears. The director on the scene even gave a close-up of a beautiful fan. She is wearing Xu Qi's No. 7 jersey with blond hair and blue eyes, and she is a little sad when facing this scene.
There was also a young fan with tears also circling in his eyes. This scene made people sad.
However, the team did not give up. They were only one goal away from advancing and regaining the initiative to advance. There was not much time, which did not mean there was no time.
At this time, there is no need to give up, and the hope is still very big!
Every Valencia player is fighting for every opportunity to get the ball, including Xu Qi.
Chapter completed!
