Chapter 173

Guardiola also frowned slightly when he saw this situation. The current team is very strong, and there is no problem in winning Bochum, but he also knows that the team is breaking records now, so he is afraid that the mentality will collapse and the performance will be unbalanced.

On the other hand, Bochum tied immediately after the opponent scored a goal, and their morale soared.

Because of Shen Peng's previous barb goal, Bayern Munich is more careful when defending Shen Peng. Once Shen Peng has a tendency to take the ball, two or three of them will immediately wrap up and defend Shen Peng.

As for Bochum, because Guardiola is afraid that the team will lose the chain at a critical moment, he asked the team to stabilize the defense first, counterattack appropriately, and insist on halftime.

So, until the end of the first half, neither side had much chance.

It was almost halftime, and the rhythm of both sides gradually slowed down. They didn't want to lose the ball again at this time. With a score of one to one, they went back to wait for the coach's adjustment, and then fought again in the second half.

No.404 minutes, 2 minutes after the fourth official signaled stoppage time, Bayern Munich's Martinez returned the ball.

This is also a commonly used practice by general teams. At the end of the game, for example, in less than 3 minutes, if the ball is still in possession, they will try their best to control the ball, then calculate the time, and organize a wave of offense at the end of stoppage time. It is better if they can score goals.

His teammates immediately understood that after receiving the ball, Dante faced Sukuta Passu who was running to press the ball, and then distributed the ball to Rafinha on the right. They have done this kind of cooperation countless times.

Sukuta Passu ran towards Rafinha again, and Rafinha saw this and simply passed the ball back to Neuer.

Neuer has come to the outside of the penalty area at this time, and his position is very high-he has often come to this position in many previous games, and sometimes even when the team is attacking, his position is even higher.

After Neuer received the ball, he looked at his defenders. Sukuta Pasu was next to Rafinha and blocked his pass to Rafinha and was running towards him. On the other side, Bochum’s Grezka was wandering next to Boateng, so passing to both of them was at risk of being intercepted, so he chose to pass to Dante, who has no Bochum players around.

As soon as he passed the ball, there were boos all over the stadium!

At this moment, Dante was running towards the ball, and he was startled when he heard the boos, but immediately, his eyelids twitched, because he caught a glimpse of a blue figure rushing towards the ball beside him, it was Shen Peng!

Dante didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously accelerated under his feet, trying to protect the ball before Shen Peng, or pass the ball to his teammates.

But his speed was slower than Shen Peng's, so when Shen Peng overtook him and was about to hit the ball, he was already nearly one meter behind Shen Peng!

If it was an ordinary person, he would not hesitate to foul now. Although doing so in this position would result in a card and a free kick, it was better than the ball being intercepted by the opponent. However, he did not dare to foul Shen Peng.

In desperation, he had to watch Shen Peng rushing towards the goal with the ball, and now he only hopes that Neuer can keep the goal.

After Shen Peng took the ball, Neuer quickly retreated into the penalty area, defending Shen Peng's single-handedly with all his strength.

Of course, Shen Peng will not miss this one-handed opportunity. This game is very critical. In order to ensure a goal, he directly used an impulsive shot, that is, a "leaf ball", so that the ball completely passed Neuer and flew into the goal.

Two to one!

At the end of the first half, Bochum overtook the score!

Guardiola slapped his thigh, and the last thing he wanted to see happened. If Bochum took the lead in the first half, then he would need to make more adjustments during the halftime break, including the players' psychology. I don't know if the 15 minutes is enough now.

As for Bochum, after taking the lead, they can choose many tactics, such as... defensive counterattack.Relying on Shen Peng's personal ability, the tactic of defensive counterattack was tailor-made for them.

Things are bad!

After the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the players on both sides returned to the locker room. The difference was that the players on the Bochum side were very excited, while the players on the Bayern Munich side seemed a little disappointed, especially Neuer and Dante. After all, they were the two who caused the goal.

In the locker room, on Bochum’s side, Neuluerer smiled. As Guardiola expected, he waved his hand and replaced Sukuta Pasu with Yusuke Tasaka. The meaning was obvious: we will play defensive counterattack in the second half!

Relying on Shen Peng's speed and the deterrence of his personal ability, Bayern Munich must not dare to attack with all their strength. In that case, it would be difficult to score goals under the defense of Bochum's ten men. Now that Bochum is leading, they are not afraid of their possession of the ball. Even if they control the game to the end, Bochum will still win.

On the other hand, the atmosphere is a bit depressing,

Guardiola first criticized Neuer and Dante: "The last mistake of you two is really stupid! I have reminded you many times to pay attention to Shen Peng's speed! But the pass was not only soft, but also the person who received the ball seemed to have not woken up. You really thought that the game was almost over, so you relaxed? Facing an opponent like Shen Peng, you can't relax for a second before the referee blows the whistle for the end of the game!"

Then he analyzed some tactics and said: "In the second half, I guess Bochum will play a defensive counterattack. If you really can't find a good way to score goals, I will replace Mandzukic. Then you will pass the ball more into the opponent's penalty area."

Guardiola is also a little helpless, this game is so critical, for this reason he is even willing to let the team temporarily give up pass control, pass the ball into the penalty area and shoot instead.

In the end, in order not to put too much pressure on the players, he still said: "As a result of this game, even if we lose, we are still five points ahead of Bochum in the standings, so there is no problem with the Bundesliga championship. Don't be too nervous."

After saying this, he looked at the time, and the second half was about to start, so he waved his hand: "Go."
