Chapter 418 Bayern's Machete
At this time, "How is it? Is it okay?"

Heynckes took advantage of a dead ball and asked left forward Franck Ribery.

The Frenchman nodded towards Heynckes, "Don't worry, I can still hold on."

Heynckes didn't say anything more, patted Ribéry on the back and signaled him to return to the pitch. At this time, Bayern Munich made two substitutions, which obviously surprised everyone.

If it is not surprising to replace Cavani, who was very active, with Rio Mario Gomez, let Thomas Muller return to the middle of the frontcourt, and Robben went to the right to form Bayern Munich's frontcourt trident. If it is not surprising, then replacing Mascherano with Modric is a very risky substitution.

Andy Gray was also a little puzzled.

Heynckes stood on the sidelines. He noticed that Wenger was also looking at him, and he chuckled, "Should he be hesitating now?"

Wenger's substitutions are actually quite mechanical. For example, he likes to make substitutions between UU and minutes. This may be a habit of his, and it can even be said to be a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Of course, it must be said that if everything goes smoothly, most teams will adopt a strategy of substituting during this period of time, because there is still about half an hour before the end of the game, and it can also give substitute players a better space to play , so this replacement period is actually not a big problem.

But Heynckes deliberately made substitutions around 55 minutes, and made two substitutions in one breath, making it clear that he wanted to beat the time difference.

Sure enough, after Heynckes made the substitution, Wenger started to wait and see again, because the opponent had just finished the substitution, so he had to observe the situation, see the situation clearly before making the substitution?Especially considering that one of Heynckes' substitutions was unexpected, he must see clearly, otherwise, rash substitutions may be counterproductive
It should be said that this is the fixed thinking of most people. After all, the number of substitutions is only three times. The difference between football and basketball is that many times substitutions may not be effective immediately, so the head coach does not need to follow the opponent. change with changes.

But what Wenger didn't expect was that just after the substitution, Bayern Munich gave up the previous destructive style of play, and instead adopted a more aggressive pressing style of play, directly pressing the defense forward and forcing Arsenal to launch a round of offensive.

Just less than 2 minutes into the game, Mario Gomez retreated on the right to respond. Fabregas passed a precise through ball to Mario Gomez on the right.

This is also Wenger's adjustment. Gibbs already has a yellow card. Heynckes replaced Mario Gomez, obviously to strengthen the team's attack on the right, so Wenger asked Cazorla to retreat to help Gibbs share the pressure.

Robben took the ball and dribbled forward, Cazorla defended at the side, the Argentine made a fake move and wanted to cut inside, tricked Cazorla to follow, but the Argentine didn't make any moves and continued to dribble forward.

Seeing the distance between himself and Gibbs getting closer, and being cheated by Robben just now, Cazorla felt a little angry, and immediately chose to get close. When Robben got close behind Cazorla, he lightly swiped the ball to his right.

Robben's acceleration kept the ball out of his control, and at the same time allowed him to face Gibbs. Just when the French left back thought he would continue to bottom, Mario Gomez suddenly stopped and dunked the ball to his left.

Relying on his small size, flexible body, and easy to change the center of gravity, Mario Gomez got stuck between Cazorla and Gibbs first, and dribbled the ball horizontally against the line at the front of the penalty area. At this time, neither Cazorla nor Gibbs obviously dared to foul Mario Gomez, especially Gibbs.

Robben's dribbling speed was fast, but Flamini's interception was also very fast, and it seemed that a triangle double-team was about to be formed. Mario Gomez suddenly shot a curved ball with his left foot, straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

This is the advantage of the winger cutting in with the reverse foot. The defensive player can't prevent your shot at all, unless he is standing in front of you, but if he is in front of you, you can make an emergency stop. Get rid of him directly and enter the penalty area.

The quality of Robben's arc kick was very high, but it was a sudden kick from outside the penalty area. There was an arc and an angle, but Buffon quickly flew to save the ball because of his weak strength and slow speed.

Although the goal was not scored, Robben's sudden kick after consecutive dribbles on the right, and a series of beautiful performances won the cheers and appreciation of the entire Bayern fans in the stadium. The drums were loud and everyone was chanting Robben's name.

"The quality of this shot is very high, and it came very suddenly." Andy Gray also exclaimed, "We can see that after Robben came on the field, he has a strong desire to play. Because of his participation in the America's Cup, his performance this season is not very good, and his position has also been challenged, especially from his teammates."

"But now we should see that Heynckes still trusts Mario Gomez at such a critical moment. It depends on whether Mario Gomez can open up the situation for Bayern Munich after he plays."

When I saw Mario Gomez walking back panting, Thomas Muller behind him caught up. The two seemed to be talking about something, and Mario Gomez nodded towards Thomas Muller.

Because it was Buffon who blocked the ball, it was Bayern Munich's corner kick, but Toni Kroos's corner kick did not pose a threat. Adebayor made a header clearance.

With Bayern Munich's return pass, Arsenal's overall formation began to press up again, obviously to continue to adopt the frontcourt pressing tactics against Bayern Munich, and use this pressing tactics to relieve the pressure on the back line.

There is a saying in football that offense is the best defense
This is actually not necessarily true, it depends on the situation, but offense must be the most effective means to relieve defensive pressure.

Therefore, when Bayern Munich attacked, the pressure on the defense was reduced a lot. Thiago Silva, Hangeland, and Toni Kross took the ball from behind. When Arsenal pressed up to press, they immediately passed the ball to Vargas on the left.

Modric turned his back to Arteta, took the ball and turned skillfully to get rid of Arteta's defense. At this time, Thomas Muller suddenly ran back from the front field to the midfield to respond.

There is no doubt that Modric chose to give Thomas Muller.

But Thomas Muller seemed to feel that there was no chance behind him, so he knocked back to Fabregas, turned around and ran diagonally to the right, took away a defensive player, and exposed a gap in the middle.

Fabregas immediately distributed the ball to the right, handing it to Alves, while Mario Gomez quickly went to the center.

Alves dribbled the ball back and forth, and immediately distributed the ball to the middle. Mario Gomez stopped the ball and slammed forward. He quickly threw off Flamini who was defending him.

This action frightened Kolo Touré to quickly step forward to block, but who would have thought that Mario Gomez's shot did not come out. The Argentine gently sent the ball to the middle with his left foot, and saw that Ribery did not know when he came from the left to the middle. Facing the ball from Mario Gomez, he slammed his right foot.

"Dangerous, Mario Gomez hit the goal." Andy Gray was also deceived by Mario Gomez's fake move, "Oh, fake move, Ribery, the goal went in. My God, Bayern Munich had a very beautiful teamwork. In the first [-] minutes, Ribery broke through Arsenal's goal again, with a kick from the top of the penalty area, l"

Andy Gray's shout was completely drowned out by the cheers of all Bayern Munich fans

More than 3 players rushed out of their seats and shouted Ribery's name loudly. After more than half an hour of dullness, they finally completed a reversal
"Very, very beautiful. Bayern Munich played a series of cooperation on the right side." Andy Gray and all the fans in front of the TV are revisiting the cooperation just now, especially when Mario Gomez picked the ball to Thomas Muller, and Thomas Muller directly headed back to Mario Gomez who inserted in after.

"We can see that after Mario Gomez came on, Bayern Munich's attack was fully activated"

Wenger on the sidelines obviously didn't expect this conceded goal. He was worried that after Mario Gomez came on the field, Bayern Munich's attack should be on the right. In fact, his worry came true. This is to use the attack on the right to attract defensive pressure and create opportunities for Ribery's cut.

Bayern Munich's frontcourt offensive combination is too strong in personal ability, and the players cooperate with each other very well, and their ability to play each other is very good. More importantly, their cross positions with each other are very troublesome.

Whether it is Thomas Muller, Ribery, or Mario Gomez, their left and right feet are very good. Such players, coupled with their skillful cross-position running, make no matter where they go in the frontcourt. They can create threats, and for defensive players, encountering such players is undoubtedly a nightmare.

Moreover, Wenger can clearly feel that the physical fitness of the players is almost exhausted.

The exhaustion of the first half and the start of the second half caused the Arsenal players to consume a lot of physical energy. This was also expected by Wenger before the game. After all, it is common sense to adopt such a tactic to consume too much physical energy, but he never thought that Heynckes would adopt such a war of attrition with him.

Judging from this game, Arsenal is indeed at a disadvantage, but Bayern Munich is going to play the Champions League in the middle of the week. Doesn't he want the Champions League?
Just when Wenger was thinking about how to make a substitution, Bayern Munich made another threat.

Mario Gomez took the ball from the right, and after attracting the attention of the defenders, Alves stepped in to respond. After getting the ball, he gave it to Fabregas who ran out of the middle and was unguarded. The Spaniard directly played a through ball.
"Beautiful" Andy Gray's eyes were a little overwhelmed, and he saw Fabregas's through kick, accurately penetrating Arsenal's defense line, and hitting Thomas Muller who turned around in the penalty area.

After Thomas Muller got rid of Gallas, he knew that his left foot had been blocked, so he directly used his right foot to hit the ball.

This kick was a low, flat ball, very fast, almost touching the turf, and the distance was within the range that Buffon dared not attack. The angle was taken from the left post.

And just when everyone was fully focused on the shot, it was Ribery who threw away Debussy and Kolo Toure, grabbed the ball in front of the left post and pushed the ball into Arsenal's goal with his left foot, scoring twice
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"

"It's Frank Ribery again, l Bayern Munich scored two goals in less than 3 minutes"

French Scarface quickly rushed out of Arsenal's penalty area and rushed to the bottom of the Bayern Munich fans' stands, waving his arms non-stop, inspiring the emotions of the Bayern Munich fans in the stadium seats, while his teammates rushed out of the stadium one by one, hugging him tightly.

"Cesc Fabregas's through ball is really good." Andy Gray exclaimed, "It's almost the only line, the only gap, but he just passed the ball directly. We can only say that in the words of the media, this is a scalpel-like fine pass."

"And let's look at Thomas Muller again. His stop was also very clever. After stopping, the ball didn't stop at his feet, but slowed down the ball. He hit the goal with his right foot.

"It's amazing, Bayern Munich played an amazing offensive"

Wenger never imagined that in less than 10 minutes, Bayern Munich's offense was completely revived, so he immediately made substitutions, replacing Arteta with Alexander Song, but at the same time replaced Walcott, who was almost invisible in this game, with Bendtner.

This time, Arsenal's frontcourt immediately piled up two towers. Wenger obviously wanted to strengthen the team's attacking strength.

Heynckes did not make substitutions, but asked the players to continue to strengthen the side attack. Franck Ribery, Thomas Muller and Mario Gomez resisted in front. Arsenal did not dare to rush forward again. After all, there are many players in the midfield. The ability to play the ball has been consolidated.

When the game progressed to the 77th minute, it was Toni Kroos who kicked a long pass from the backcourt. Ribery rushed to the front alone, fighting for speed with Debussy on the left side, and sprinted forward.

Seeing the scene where Scarface gritted his teeth and sprinted, all the fans in the entire White Hart Lane Stadium couldn't help standing up from their seats.

Finally, Ribery used his speed to get ahead of Debussy, and raised his foot high to unload Toni Kroos' long pass.

The ball touched his feet and bounced towards his body, and as soon as he stopped, the ball was controlled by him, and he himself made a fake move to make an emergency stop and change direction, tricking Debussy into making an emergency stop, but the Frenchman suddenly kicked the ball forward forcefully, and then accelerated to catch up.

Just as Debussy made an emergency stop and wanted to catch up again, he lost his center of gravity and was thrown directly onto the turf by Ribery. He watched Ribery rush to the penalty area. After stopping the ball, facing Buffon who was hesitant to attack, he directly hit the goal with his left foot, and the ball passed through the gap between Buffon's right side and the upright.

"Scoring a great goal"

Andy Gray screamed amidst the cheers of all the Bayern fans in the audience.

After completing the shot, Ribery rushed to the goal quickly, jumped over Buffon who fell on the ground, hugged the ball tightly from the goal line, and hid it in his jersey.

"Hat-trick it was Ribéry's first career hat-trick"

"A precise long pass from Toni Kroos, Bayern Munich's counterattack was very threatening. Arsenal obviously ignored the opponent's long pass master in the formation. They paid the price for their poor defense"

"The situation turned around. No one expected that after the start of the second half, Bayern Munich replaced two players in one breath, but completely activated the team's offense. Arsenal's players obviously consumed too much energy due to the previous high-intensity confrontation. Now they can't keep up with Bayern Munich's pace."

After celebrating with his teammates, Ribery ran to the coaching bench of the visiting team with a smile. Apart from handing over the ball he was going to collect to the coaching staff for temporary storage, he did not forget to hug his most respected coach.

"I believe that at this moment, Heynckes should be saying to Ribery next to his ear, I am proud of you, because Ribery's performance in the second half of this game is absolutely unforgettable. In just over 30 minutes, he staged a hat-trick, which is really surprising."

But in fact, Heynckes did not tell him that I am proud of you, but told him that it is not enough, you can do better, and told them that we must continue to strengthen our offense and completely defeat Arsenal
