Chapter 437: Dong Wang Returns, Lewandowski Is Not Worth It
Bayern's starting lineup contains a lot of:

Dong Fangzhuo

Ribery, Muller, Robben

Alonso, Schweinsteiger

Alaba, Benatia, Javi Martinez, Lahm

Neuer

-

There are four or five players in the He Department.

Both sides know each other well.

Villa's starting lineup is:
Mane, Lewandowski, Salah
De Bruyne, Kante, Modric

Azpilicueta, Boateng, Van Dijk, Trippier

Oblak
-

During the pre-match press conference, a reporter asked about Boateng, saying that Bayern was interested in signing Boateng and how Villa would respond.

Since the World Cup, German fans have been hoping that this top central defender would come to Bayern and become the final link for Bayern to win the Champions League.

But because Boateng is a German player, Bayern wants to exert their "unique influence".

Get this player at a low price.

As we all know, within the Bundesliga and for German players, Bayern often only needs to snap their fingers to take players away.

A bid over 20 million is a huge loss, and a bid over 30 million is a historical record.

Toni, Ribery, Robben and Dong Fangzhuo, who were previously sold to Bayern by He Tianqi, were all at twice this price.

Bayern has been the victim for too long and wants to be smart for once.

Who made Boateng German?

Joining Bayern at a low price is the final destination of every German player.

"I absolutely respect Boateng's personal opinion," He Tianqi said bluntly, "but the prerequisite is that I hope his club will also have enough respect for him."

"There are many clubs that want Boateng, not just Bayern."

"In other words, all the top clubs in the world want him."

"Everywhere is a good place to go, but where Boateng will go in the end depends on everyone's sincerity."

He Tianqi was not exaggerating.

In the past two years, the central defenders of all the major giants have been in the period of replacement.

A world-class central defender like Boateng who has no weaknesses is in great demand.

Height, strength, speed, defense, passing, heading, no shortcomings!
In comparison, Van Dijk's abilities in all aspects are a level lower than his, and the only thing he surpasses is the overall view of defense command.

……

The game started soon after both sides entered the court.

Bayern still puts a lot of pressure on Villa.

In the fourth minute, under the pressure from Bayern in the frontcourt, Villa made consecutive ball errors in the backcourt.

Van Dijk's pass to Kante was intercepted by Schweinsteiger who was advancing.

Schweinsteiger passes the ball to the left.

After Ribery retreated and received the ball, he turned his back to the goal, half-turned and sent a diagonal pass forward, which was very clever.

Muller saw Boateng attacking near the top of the arc, and decisively chose to pass the ball back to Alonso and go against Boateng himself.

Then he fell to the ground when the two made contact, hoping for a free kick in a perfect position.

Due to the confrontation, Muller's pass back was too strong.

It went too far.

Alonso turned and chased the football.

He happened to meet Lewandowski who came back to participate in the defense.

At the same time, Boateng jumped over Muller on the ground and chased Alonso, trying to completely snatch the ball.

Muller rolled on the ground twice, but the referee did not blow the whistle because it was a normal confrontation.

At the critical moment, Alonso caught up with the ball and passed it back, trying to find Noelle.

But the ball hit Lewandowski and bounced back.

Here comes a wall-banging cooperation!
Boateng subconsciously stretched out his foot to block the ball, preventing it from finding Muller.

The football bounced.

Alonso turned around and chased the ball, catching up with it faster than Boateng who blocked the ball.

boom!
Alonso made a through ball.

Dong Fangzhuo broke into the penalty area from the left, received the ball from behind Van Dijk, and shot half-way.

Oblak subconsciously stretched out his hand, but the football was very far away.

"GOAL!!!"

"Dong Fangzhuo scored the first goal and Bayern led by one to zero!"

"Villa made a mistake. Bayern's front-court pressing was obviously carefully designed. De Bruyne and Modric were both stuck."

"This is what we said. After Bayern Munich and He Tianqi played against each other so many times, there will always be some progress, and this progress is the opportunity to defeat He Tianqi!"

"If Bayern can win the Champions League this season, Dong Fangzhuo will probably become the first Chinese and first Asian Ballon d'Or or FIFA World Player of the Year!"

"He has had four consecutive seasons of strong and consistent performance!"

The commentary captured a very attractive point.

Chinese fans are truly feeling both pain and happiness at the same time.

Whoever wins makes them happy, whoever loses makes them sad.

In the eighth minute, Villa launched an attack.

Trippier circled Modric and then received the ball and made a cross.

Martinez cleared the ball with a header.

Kante came from the back row, stole the ball from Robben who was stopping the ball on the outside, and took a long shot himself.

Unfortunately, the football flew into the stands.

The commentators all said "not as good as Xhaka".

Arsenal fans have clearly regarded Xhaka as one of their own and started to blow the whistle in advance.

And he believes that Kante's rise is because some of Xhaka's attributes overlap with De Bruyne, and thus he became De Bruyne's victim.

If it were any other midfielder, Xhaka would have become the core player long ago.

In the twelfth minute, De Bruyne directed his teammates in the frontcourt and passed the ball to Mane on the left.

Mane failed to break through and passed the ball back to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne turned and passed the ball back to Kante.

Kante then passed the ball to Modric, who completed the transfer on the ground.

Modric received the ball and shot directly, the quality of which was much higher than Kante's, but it still hit the post and went wide.

In the 17th minute, under the command of Guardiola, Bayern passed the ball from the backcourt to lure the opponent out of its hole.

Villa could only press in the frontcourt.

Martinez hit the ball diagonally to Alonso without stopping.

The latter launched a counterattack with a long pass.

With Dong Fangzhuo, an enhanced version of Son Heung-min, it would be a pity not to launch a counterattack.

In addition, Alonso also has a long pass, so Guardiola improved the tactics appropriately and was not as obsessed with controlling the ball and attacking as he was in Barcelona.

Dong Fangzhuo's forward sprint put Van Dijk under tremendous pressure.

The two men continued to fight against each other, and neither was in a position to receive the ball immediately.

The football bounced off the ground and passed over the heads of two people, requiring them to turn around to chase it. Dong Fangzhuo took the opportunity to shake off Van Dijk, who turned slower.

However, Oblak, who had attacked early, ran out of the penalty area, stopped the ball with his chest, took the ball away, and then passed it to Boateng on the other side.

It almost gave Dong Fangzhuo the opportunity to lob the ball into the empty goal.

Dong Fangzhuo shook his head helplessly, then turned around and gave Alonso a thumbs up.

In the 19th minute, Salah broke through on the right, challenged Alaba, who was nine days younger than him, took advantage and created a corner kick.

After the corner kick, Benatia cleared the ball with a header.

Salah received the ball on the outside and volleyed the ball. The quality of the shot was good, but it was too straight and was confiscated by Neuer.

In the 23rd minute, Mane broke through on the left and got a corner kick. Lahm shoveled the ball out of the baseline and made a morale-boosting defense.

Trippier took a tactical corner kick and passed it to De Bruyne outside the penalty area.

De Bruyne waited with the ball, seemingly preparing to pass it into the penalty area, but in fact he passed it back to Trippier who rushed out.

The latter met the ball in the corner outside the penalty area and made a super shot with his right foot.

The Bayesian curve shines on the court.

The defender version of Beckham's shot went straight into the far end of the net.

Ten points.

There is no escape!

Even Neuer let out a goalkeeper's sigh.

"GOAL! Beautiful tactical corner kick! Trippier's footwork is perfect, not inferior to Beckham at all!"

"One to one! Equalized the score! Trippier's start today was very effective."

"He Tianqi is very good at developing players' skills. It's no coincidence that Albrighton and Trippier, two new Beckhams, emerged from Villa."

"After joining Villa, players including Luke Shaw, Cuadrado and Azpilicueta have also significantly improved their crossing skills."

Guardiola held his head in pain on the sidelines.

In the 28th minute, Azpilicueta crashed into the wall and De Bruyne advanced. Robben returned to defense and knocked down Azpilicueta, receiving a yellow card.

In the 31st minute, Modric passed the ball back to Kante on the right.

Kante passes the ball to Trippier.

Trippier passed the ball directly to Modric again, and a triangular pass gave Modric space to move.

boom!
Modric met the ball and made a long pass into the penalty area, looking for Lewandowski!

Lewandowski and Modric are a perfect match. After guessing Modric's passing path, he first pretended to move to the right and prepared to move to the side.

After deceiving Benatia to move to the right, he actually turned back to the left and advanced through the middle.

It's such a simple deception, but it works perfectly.

Because Benatia was originally in front of Lewandowski on the right, he was looking at Lewandowski from the left and back. When he moved to the right and prepared to defend Lewandowski from going to the right, he needed to retract his head and then turn to the right.

With the head shaking like this, the field of vision changes, making it difficult to lock on to the target in the first place.

Besides, there is no goal here at all.

Lewandowski stopped the ball at the top of the arc and headed to the right, avoiding the interference of Martinez, and dribbled into the penalty area to create a one-on-one situation.

This time Neuer did not attack randomly, and the two began a peak showdown.

When Lewandowski approached the right corner of the small penalty area, Neuer attacked.

boom!
Lewandowski was waiting for this moment.

The ball went through Neuer's crotch and into the goal.

Neuer was a little slow to get down to the ground and was humiliated.

"GOAL! 2-1, Villa takes the lead."

"Lewandowski showed his high overall strength with this goal."

"Dong Fangzhuo still has two years left on his contract with Bayern. Although he is still in his prime, he will be 31 years old by then. It will be difficult for Bayern to offer him a big contract that satisfies him."

"So Dong Fangzhuo is likely to transfer this summer and next summer. Serie A teams Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan are all willing to offer him a high salary and a four-year contract."

"As a result, Lewandowski, who was once known as the Little King of Dong, has become a backup option for Bayern."

"But Bayern is reluctant to make the move because the transfer fee of Lewandowski's competitor Luis Suarez is 82 million euros. If Bayern want to bring in this Polish striker, they will probably have to pay around 90 million euros."

"But compared to the performances of Toni, Ribery and Dong Fangzhuo, Lewandowski is obviously still a little behind and his quality is slightly insufficient."

"He is worth 70 million euros now, no problem, 90 million euros... Bayern will probably keep an eye on him for another year."

After all, Lewandowski is only 26 years old now, and there won’t be any problem waiting for another year.

It was a five-year contract, and he was ready to be traded or renew his contract in the fourth year. He was only 31 years old at that time, so he could still play.

Bayern has thought very carefully about these contracts, which is a thousand times better than some Premier League and Serie A giants that have no relevant plans.

They deserve it because they never have a slump and are always competitive enough to win the championship.

In the 37th minute, Salah bullied Alaba again and created a free kick in a good position in the frontcourt.

Trippier took a tactical free kick, Van Dijk headed the ball back, and De Bruyne met the ball with a shot that pierced the sky.

when!
The football hit the crossbar and bounced off.

In the 42nd minute, after Trippier received the pass from his teammate, Bayern suddenly pressed him.

Mueller is very sharp in this regard.

He noticed that Villa had given Trippier more ball possession recently, but at the same time, apart from a long pass, Trippier's ability to hold the ball was not very good.

Sure enough, Trippier could only make long passes.

But Ribery rushed over and jumped to block the ball, blocking it towards the top of Villa's arc.

Dong Fangzhuo and Boateng fought fiercely for position.

Kante successfully stopped the ball and subconsciously turned around to pass it back to his goalkeeper.

This choice is normally correct, but Dong Fangzhuo was right behind Kante. After he stretched out his foot to steal the ball, he half turned around and shot directly without even looking at the goal.

This kick is of extremely high quality.

Fortunately, Oblak flew over and saved the ball.

But the next moment Ribery broke into the penalty area on the left and shot the ball successfully.

"GOAL! 2-2, Bayern also equalized the score!"

"Trippier and Kante made mistakes, especially Kante, he was not calm enough when handling the ball."

"In this situation, Modric and De Bruyne basically have brain models of the dangerous areas around them and know where the opponents are."

"But Kante obviously didn't have that awareness, he completely forgot that Dong Fangzhuo was behind him and confronting Boateng."

"Of course, Ribery was also very brave. It is hard to imagine that the 31-year-old veteran continued to sprint into the penalty area after blocking the long pass with his body."

In the 45th minute, the two sides started a fierce fight in the midfield.

Finally, Schweinsteiger broke through, advanced and passed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo.

Dong Fangzhuo dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area and made a horizontal pass.

However, Muller, who had been in position all along, was suddenly suppressed by Boateng, who cleared the ball.

The camera was focused on several legendary senior executives of Bayern.

They had to admire Boateng's defense.

Boateng was playing a trap in enforcement. He deliberately let Muller overpower him, lured Dong Fangzhuo to pass the ball, and then ate Muller.

The second boy Muller had no room for resistance throughout the whole process and was tossed around in Boateng's five fingers mountain.

If Dong Fangzhuo had done a few fancy bicycle kicks and then forced the ball, he might have been able to score past Van Dijk and Oblak.

Anyway, the probability is greater than Mueller's.

In this way, the two sides tied 2-2 in the first half.

On Villa's side, Lewandowski, Boateng and Trippier are all very eye-catching.

On the Bayern side, Dong Fangzhuo is quite a standout, the King Dong is back.
