Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 362 Manniel, Bayern is counting on you!
There has always been controversy surrounding Shan Yongzhuo's header.

Although Shan Yongzhuo has scored a few incredible headers, many people believe that it was just luck once or twice, because he scores very few headers, rarely contests headers, and his success rate is not very high.

However, when even a header master like Trezeguet said that Shan Yongzhuo's headers are top-notch, people naturally assume that Shan Yongzhuo's headers must also be top-notch.

Trezeguet was commenting on Shan Yongzhuo's header, while Schweinsteiger and Tymoshchuk on the field were being complained about by their teammates.

"What are you doing?"

"Be serious, that's Shan Yongzhuo!"

"Any mistake could be fatal!"

Of course, these complaints were mainly directed at Tymoshchuk.

Schweinsteiger is a Bayern Munich protégé. Although he initially joined 1860 Munich, he was almost immediately spotted by Bayern and subsequently joined Bayern's youth team.

Since 2002, Schweinsteiger has been a player in Bayern Munich's first team. Although he did not get a starting position for a long time, he has always been a Bayern player.

In the 2009-2010 season, with the arrival of Robben, Schweinsteiger had no place on the wing, but Van Gaal put him in the center, which gave Schweinsteiger a new lease on life, completely making up for his technical and physical shortcomings and amplifying his strengths.

Schweinsteiger, positioned in the defensive midfield position, possesses excellent vision and accuracy in long passes.

Moreover, Schweinsteiger possesses remarkable sweeping ability. As a defensive midfielder, he is a key point in Bayern's transition between attack and defense, and an indispensable pivot for Bayern's offense and defense.

On the other hand, although Schweinsteiger has a peaceful personality, he always maintains a high fighting spirit on the court. Whether on or off the court, he can unite his teammates and is an excellent leader.

Therefore, although his teammates complained, no one blamed Schweinsteiger too much. As a result, Tymoshchuk, the outsider, became the focus of the complaints.

In the end, Tymoshchuk couldn't hold back any longer; this was simply unwarranted blame.

"Anyone who thinks I'm not doing a good job can switch places with me!"

"Cough cough..."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Boateng left first, only coughing a few times.

Kroos chuckled dryly: "I still have to organize the attack from the front."

Lahm said, "I need to move forward and assist the attack; we're behind now."

Finally, everyone looked at Contento.

Facing the stares of his teammates, Contento said, "I'll stay on the wing. I'm a left-back, and Nasri is not an easy player to deal with. I need to keep an eye on him."

Defending against Shan Yongzhuo?
Contento wasn't that stupid.

……

Shan Yongzhuo's goal had a significant impact.

Firstly, Bayern's players were all affected, with the backfielders passing the buck to each other, which shows that they really lacked confidence in defending against Shan Yongzhuo.

When the game resumed, their performance was indeed affected to some extent.

Bayern Munich are now on edge defending against Shan Yongzhuo. When the ball is about to reach Shan Yongzhuo, the Bayern players become very nervous, especially Schweinsteiger and Tymoshchuk.

They tried their best to prevent Shan Yongzhuo from touching the ball.

This left Shan Yongzhuo somewhat helpless.

Simultaneously.

Bayern Munich's attack was inevitably affected. Schweinsteiger and Kroos stayed in the backfield, and Lahm and Contento on the wings rarely pushed forward anymore.

They still have some sense of responsibility. If Shan Yongzhuo's defense fails, they are prepared to rush over and cover.

Bayern's attack relies heavily on the flanks, and this includes not only Robben and Ribery, but also Lahm and Contento's overlapping runs.

When the two of them stopped making frequent forward runs, Robben and Ribery received less support, which affected the team's overall attack.

For example, when Robben receives the ball and gets entangled, he wants to pass it back, but finds that Lahm hasn't moved up, so he can only try to cooperate more with Müller.

For this reason, Bayern Munich's attacking third was easily dispossessed several times, allowing Manchester City to launch several attacks.

Shan Yongzhuo was naturally closely marked, but because Bayern Munich paid too much attention to him, the other players did not face particularly much defensive pressure.

Despite being Manchester City's second-leading attacker, Aguero only had to deal with Boateng, who was constantly focused on Tymoshchuk and ready to cover for Shan Yongzhuo, and didn't pay much attention to Aguero.

Aguero also had a chance, successfully beating the offside trap on the edge of the penalty area, shaking off Boateng, and getting a one-on-one opportunity, but unfortunately, the ball was blocked by Neuer, and then Boateng cleared it out of bounds.

Bayern's players and fans breathed a sigh of relief.

That was a dangerous shot; it gave Aguero a one-on-one opportunity.

Fortunately, Neuer was good enough to block this very dangerous one-on-one opportunity.

Aguero held his head in disappointment; it was a golden opportunity, and he had failed to score.

It's already the 42nd minute. If Manchester City can score this goal, they will go into the second half with a two-goal lead.

This is a huge advantage.

Missing out on such a goal left Aguero extremely frustrated.

However, he felt someone pat his shoulder and then saw Shan Yongzhuo smiling at him.

"Sergio, well done! Now watch me!"

Then, Aguero saw Shan Yongzhuo walk down from the corner kick spot.

"Danger!"

Bayern's players naturally saw it too.

At that moment, they suddenly remembered that the opposing team had Shan Yongzhuo, who was best at scoring directly from corner kicks.

Giving the opponent a corner kick, isn't that very dangerous?
In the first half, Bayern were very careful to avoid giving the opponent corner kicks or free kicks in good positions.

Although this was Manchester City's third corner kick in the first half, Shan Yongzhuo did not take the first two corner kicks, which made the Bayern players forget about it.

Now, seeing Shan Yongzhuo suddenly walk towards the corner flag, the Bayern players were all startled and looked at Neuer.

"Go Manuel!"

"It's up to you, Manuel, you can do it!"

"Only you can stop his corner kick. Keep it up!"

"Bayern are counting on you!"

"..."

Neuer's teammates cheered him on one by one, leaving him feeling utterly helpless.

damn it!
"You don't really think I can hold them off, do you?!"

Are you trying to shift all the blame onto me beforehand?
