Chapter 337: King of Set-pieces
The Internet was silent, because many people didn't know what happened. Even if there was a replay, they were not sure whether Arteta's behavior was a foul according to football rules.

If you want to talk about pushing...it seems that Neuer pushed Arteta, right?
Arteta was pushed to the ground by him.

But if you say Arteta has no problem...it seems that the goalkeeper cannot be stopped, right?

At least we often hear the term "interfering with the goalkeeper".

There is also a saying that goalkeepers are absolutely protected in the penalty area.

But in fact, the latter is mainly aimed at the goalkeeper after he "controls the ball".

Before the goalkeeper touches the football, the only difference between him and a normal player is that he can use his hands.

Before kick-off, Arteta took advantage of the dispute caused by Giroud to stay in the blind spot behind Neuer.

Since everyone was looking at the corner area, no one thought Arteta could pose any threat there.

As a result, after the kick-off, Arteta quickly moved forward and stood firm in Neuer's attacking route.

When Neuer determined where the ball would land and attacked, he bumped into Arteta.

By the time he pushed Arteta away and moved around, time had already been delayed.

In order to save time, Neuer must look at Arteta and then determine the distance plan for detour or forceful pushing.

At that time, Neuer could not turn his head to look at Arteta, because once he turned his head, he would not be able to determine the position of the ball when he came back.

This is also a very important feature of human visual trajectory.

Even if you can simulate the trajectory of the football in your mind, turn your head to push Arteta away and then turn your head to lock on the football in seconds, the visual zoom of the human eye cannot keep up with this speed, which will cause momentary blur in front of your eyes, greatly increasing the difficulty of catching or hitting the ball.

Even as strong as Lin Dan is, if he quickly changes rackets after hitting the badminton and continues to play the ball, he will most likely lose this game.

Neuer is the future goalkeeper, but not the god of football.

Bayern players surrounded the referee Proenca, and Heynckes even cursed on the sidelines.

Proenka went over to warn Heynckes, then quickly repeated the basis for his decision.

As the top whistle in this field, Proenka's professional ability is beyond doubt, which is the basic condition for every industry leader.

On the other hand, it is precisely because the referee of this game is Proenca that He Tianqi attaches so much importance to this set-piece tactic.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity if the referee, who lacks the ability to make penalties, mistakenly calls it a foul?
In the end, thanks to this "controversial goal" in stoppage time, Villa recovered a goal to 1-2.

During the entire halftime period, the outside world was discussing this goal.

Some people said that Villa played dirty, some said that Villa was immoral, and some said that the ball should have been blown off, and so on.

No one discussed the result of the game because judging from the situation in the first half, Bayern's advantage was still very obvious.

After all, Vera is still a little too young to be convincing.

In the Bayern locker room, Heynckes analyzed Villa's set-piece tactics, and then instructed the defensive players to pay attention to protecting Neuer in subsequent set-pieces, especially corner kicks.

Don't let the opponent interfere with Neuer easily.

Like Arteta, wouldn't it be fine if he sent a defender to push him away?
……

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 51st minute, De Bruyne moved to the side.

Dong Fangzhuo received the ball on the left rib and passed it to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne also made a scimitar-like half-high cross pass.

Bale cut inside without the ball and tried to head the ball at the back post.

Unfortunately, he didn't use enough force and the ball was easily caught by Neuer.

In the 54th minute, Tony also moved to the side and received a pass from Lahm.

Lahm made a run-in and diverted Azpilicueta's attention.

Toni passed the ball to Robben on the side.

Robben cut inside easily and shot with his left foot.

The football hit the crossbar and flew out from the far end, almost hitting the dead corner.

In the 61st minute, De Bruyne held the ball on the left and was preparing to operate slowly.

But he suddenly saw a possibility.

Bayern's defense is very high.

There was an empty area between them and Neuer.

In Bayern's eyes, this is not a problem, because Neuer's defense and attacking range is very large. This area seems empty, but it can be covered by him at any time.

however……

boom!
De Bruyne kicked the ball directly into the penalty area.

It was a topspin ball.

The characteristic of this pass is that the ball is very fast and continues to fall in the second half, which is very sudden.

The disadvantage is that it is not friendly to the receiver and it is very difficult to stop the ball.

The next moment, Dong Fangzhuo stood out and ran out for a solo shot.

Neuer immediately determined that the ball was landing inside the goal, so he had no way of attacking.

Because if he attacks, the football will be too high and he won't be able to pick it up.

As a result, the football continued to fall in the second half and its landing point moved forward half a meter outside the goal line.

This means that Neuer can easily grab the ball two or three meters away from the goal.

But it was too late.

Because Dong Fangzhuo has already run to that position.

Neuer therefore gave up the idea of ​​attacking and stood half a meter outside the goal line.

In this way, it will be impossible for Dong Fangzhuo to stop the ball.

Because when the height of the football is close to the waist, the position of the football overlaps with Neuer.

In other words, Dong Fangzhuo can only catch the ball when the football is higher than his waist.

An easy pass is hard to catch at this height, let alone a difficult pass?
However, Dong Fangzhuo did not stop and continued to move forward.

When the distance between him and Neuer was less than two meters, he suddenly jumped up, stretched out his right leg and curled his toes.

At this moment, many people in the Allianz Arena were stunned.

The classic Bundesliga logo came to everyone’s mind!

Dong Fangzhuo's actions at this moment are exactly the same as the Bundesliga logo!
Kane: ???
boom!
The football hit the angle between Dong Fangzhuo's toes and instep and bounced up on the spot.

Neuer thought Dong Fangzhuo was going to shoot from a flying height, so he subconsciously made a save.

However, after the football bounced, Dong Fangzhuo landed and used his head to knock the football into Bayern's goal.

Sitting on the ground, Neuer could only watch the football fall from the sky.

"GOAL!!!"

"Dong Fangzhuo! Dong Fangzhuo scored again!"

“No one can blow off his goal this time!”

"2-2! Aston Villa equalized the score!"

"Dong Fangzhuo also scored his 15th goal in the Champions League this season, surpassing Messi and winning the Golden Boot!"

"But what's more exciting than the data is the reality! Dong Fangzhuo's goal-scoring move just now was very similar to the Bundesliga logo. Using such a move to score against Bayern Munich was simply heartbreaking!"

"If you say Dong Fangzhuo is the world's best striker, I believe too many people will not agree. If you say he is one of the world's best strikers, I believe more than half of the people will agree."

"But if I say that Dong Fangzhuo is one of the world's top forwards this season, I believe no one will disagree!"

"Even if Villa can win this game, the 'one of them' can be removed!"

The next moment, Dong Fangzhuo and He Tianqi jumped up high in the corner area!
The stands of the Allianz Arena were silent, and no one even swore at each other.

The Eastern King Dong Fangzhuo turned the Allianz Arena into a secret love stadium.

When they think about Toni leaving this summer, Bayern fans feel that it is not unacceptable if Dong Fangzhuo plays here in the future.

Mario Gomez: It was agreed that it was my turn to take the position.
In the 68th minute, the two sides had a fierce fight in the midfield area. In the end, Lahm knocked down Arteta and won the battle.

Lahm then made a diagonal pass to Ribery, who this time used the outside of his right foot to make a deadly cross pass.

Bayern youngster Muller made a forward run and also used a Bundesliga logo-style shooting action to pass the ball by.

Missed opportunity.

It was far less stable than Tony's previous ejection.

The Villa fans at the scene booed.

Even Mueller himself felt a little embarrassed.

The camera turned to Dong Fangzhuo again.

It is self-evident who the authentic Bundesliga successor is.

Germany's orthodoxy lies in the East.

In the 72nd minute, Bale was brought down by Contento and Schweinsteiger.

The latter launched a counterattack with a long pass.

Robben successfully ran out of the singles.

Schmeichel once again made an early move and blocked most of Robben's shooting angles.

boom!
Robben fired a shot wide.

The football brushed the post and went past the goal.

"Oh! One-on-one chance! Robben's one-on-one chance didn't go in!"

"Oh my God! This is Bayern's best chance to kill Villa!"

"Robben almost decided the game!"

"What a shame! What a pity!"

After missing the one-on-one opportunity, Robben knelt on the spot, covering his face with his hands, in disbelief.

Bayern's morale also plummeted after Muller's "logo miss" and Robben's missed one-on-one opportunity.

Tony was about to go over to comfort Robben, but suddenly he froze in place.

On the sidelines, Heynckes made a substitution.

Germany's new striker Mario Gomez replaced Italy's old striker Luca Toni.

He Wei joked: "Tony's expression was a little surprised. He must have been thinking that it was Robben who missed the chance, so why was it me who was substituted?"

"It seems that the player who is most afraid of Robben missing a goal has appeared. It's not Robben himself but Luca Toni!"

Many fans smiled knowingly.

However, the camera turned and focused on He Tianqi on the sidelines.

He raised his hands above his head, started clapping, and stood next to Bayern's substitution position.

Toni and Gomez high-fived each other, and Gomez rushed onto the field, eager to make a contribution for Bayern.

He Tianqi hugged Tony who was leaving the field and said, "You played very well. You did everything you should do. Even if you leave, you will not be ashamed of Bayern!"

Tony instantly burst into tears.

It was not until this time that the Bayern fans in the stands remembered that this game was Toni's last game for Bayern.

"Oh! The intense game process made people forget that this was actually Toni's last dance at Bayern!" He Wei also reacted, "Applause rang out from the sidelines. This was the applause from Bayern fans to Toni."

"For the past six years, Tony has always been the most scoring player in this stadium. He has brought countless victories and trophies to the fans!"

"Tony and He Tianqi embraced each other, and the great striker left the field."

"From next season, Toni will play for Juventus."

"In fact, the story of Juventus and Toni is also touching. Once upon a time, Juventus was the most desirable place for Italian players, even more sacred than the city of Milan."

"As a result, due to He Tianqi's persuasion, Toni was unable to join Juventus at its best time. Later, the Serie A Calciopoli scandal broke out, Juventus fell to the bottom, and Toni was taken away by Bayern."

"Now that Juventus has been rebuilt, Toni has returned, and He Tianqi has reached the Champions League final, everything seems to have returned to the time before 2006."

In the 74th minute, Motta was knocked down by Schweinsteiger and was unable to continue the game. Fellaini came on as a substitute.

Villa's stability in the middle and backfield has declined.

In the 76th minute, Ribery passed Fellaini on the right side.

Not only did Fellaini fail to knock Ribery down, but the opponent gave way to him and he stumbled and almost fell.

Ribery then made a through pass.

Gomez has better athletic ability than Toni. He runs forward and sweeps the ball across.

Bonucci blocked Muller and kicked the ball out of the baseline.

Corner kick.

Before Bayern took a corner kick, Boden and Giroud clashed.

The two sides fought fiercely for position, and then there was pushing and shoving.

At this time, both sides were no longer restrained as they were at the beginning and were very emotional.

The referee awarded each of them a yellow gem.

In the end, Boateng cleared the ball with a header.

He Tianqi then replaced Giroud with Lewandowski.

In the 79th minute, Dong Fangzhuo was trapped by Tymoshchuk and Lahm on the left.

He turned around and kicked the ball to Lahm before it went out of the baseline, asking for a corner kick.

The atmosphere on the scene became tense again.

In the previous two corner kicks, Villa implemented the tactic of interfering with the goalkeeper, but Bayern was prepared and it was ineffective.

This time, we don’t know whether Vera will give up…

amount……

Before he could finish his words, Vera's position said it all.

They piled up so many players at the back post that it was confusing.

Neuer looked confused. No one came near him this time. Did Villa give up the shameless interference tactics?

boom!
De Bruyne takes a corner kick.

The next moment, the Villa players at the back rushed forward and surrounded Neuer.

Neuer was shocked!
Is this reasonable?

Bayern's defensive players came over and pushed the Villa players aside without caring about anything else.

The referee was watching everything in the penalty area closely.

I thought the Villa players would fight back and push each other, and the action would escalate into a fight between the two sides, and he would have to stop the game.

Unexpectedly, the Villa players were pushed away easily?
This……

and many more!

Villa players surrounded Neuer - Villa players were pushed away by Bayern players, so - that means Bayern players surrounded Neuer?

The next moment, Bonucci jumped high and headed the ball!

De Bruyne's free throw this time landed in the small penalty area, closer to the goal line.

According to Neuer's normal defensive range, he would have easily picked up the ball.

But this time Neuer couldn't move an inch in front of his own goal.

Most of those who blocked him were his teammates.

Swish!
The football went into the goal.
