Chapter 47 Alaba's Little Trick

Ribery once again dribbled past Yuan Meng.

This time, Yuan Meng wasn't in a hurry; she quickly turned around and followed.

He has discovered Ribery's biggest weakness: Ribery's explosiveness has declined significantly with age.

The real challenge lies in his delicate dribbling and skillful shooting transitions.

Moreover, Ribery would occasionally direct Yuan Meng to make tackles, seemingly trying to get a yellow card as soon as possible.

Clearly, Ancelotti's pre-match research was thorough, and Yuan Meng, who has started in consecutive matches recently, was naturally included in the research scope.

In Ancelotti's mind, his aggressive tackling style is a fatal weakness.

"Kid, let's see if you can hold back!"

Ribery suddenly slowed down and cut inside, allowing Yuan Meng to overtake him, before turning the ball around and cutting inside.

Yuan Meng stopped abruptly, turned around, locked her gaze on Ribery, and suddenly became overjoyed.

That was it!

Ribery has lost his explosiveness; his acceleration when cutting inside with the ball is not fast enough, which means there is a possibility of interception!

Yuan Meng has always been decisive in his tackles, and there was no reason for him not to make a tackle at this moment.

Ribery, seeing Yuan Meng's sweeping leg, pulled the ball back as if he had planned it in advance.

Yuan Meng just happened to brush against Ribery's instep. Ribery dramatically sidestepped and fell to the ground, clutching his instep and burying his head in his hands.

"Beep beep beep!"

The referee blew his whistle decisively and, after a moment's thought, pulled out a yellow card.

"Oh no, the game has only been going on for 35 minutes. If Yuan Shen gets a yellow card at this point, the defensive threat will be greatly reduced."

"That's the price of youth. Ginter is ready to cover, so he shouldn't have made that tackle."

[Don't worry, Yuan Shen, you defended very well before!]

[Stay calm!]

As the saying goes, an observer sees more clearly. Yuan Meng, who was in the middle of the game, was completely focused on Ribery and couldn't possibly notice the position of her teammates behind her.

If Ginter is not in a good position, and Yuan Meng is beaten, Ribery can directly threaten the goal with a long-range shot.

As a border guard, he couldn't let the other side pass so easily.

Yuan Meng quickly took a deep breath and composed herself.

The feeling of loss vanished completely, replaced by a touch of excitement.

They were just a hair's breadth away from catching Ribery!

Tuher was relieved.

Yuan Meng did not confront the referee, which shows that he still retained his rationality.

In the first half, we must hold on!

"With the dual nature of gods and demons, Yuan Shen suddenly stabilized again."

"His movements became clean and fluid, and Ribery was frequently passing back to Alaba."

Alaba delivers a cross!

"pretty!"

"Sokratis headed the ball away, and Lewandowski couldn't gain the upper hand against him!"

[Is it really going to be a draw?]

Bayern's attack is fierce.

[Don't panic, I left a message on Yuan Shen's Instagram saying that if he wins, I'll introduce my girlfriend to him.]

[No, buddy? Strict with oneself?]

It's not that bad!

In the first half, Bayern Munich led in all aspects with six shots, two of which were on target, while Dortmund only managed two shots.

Tuchel was not satisfied with the result; in his plan, there should have been more opportunities for a counterattack.

This was due to Ancelotti's timely adjustments; Bayern avoided the heavily defended central area, effectively reducing the number of times they lost possession.

Therefore, the key to this match lies on the flanks.

Tuchel looked at Yuan Meng and Schmelzer.

"We did well in the first half, but we need to pick up the pace in the second half."

"With several Bayern players starting consecutive matches, their physical condition will definitely be a problem in the second half."

"Yuan, be careful with your footwork, don't commit fouls easily, and keep a close marking."

"Yes, boss." Yuan Meng seemed less enthusiastic, a stark contrast to her usual high-spirited demeanor.

Tuher felt uneasy, considering whether to replace Yuan Meng.

Unfortunately, we are not yet in the lead, and rashly replacing one of our counter-attacking options could lead to a missed opportunity. It would be better to wait and see.

Yuan Meng remained immersed in his own world, feeling as if he was about to grasp some kind of inspiration.

This thing was so close, yet so far away, making him anxious and distressed.

The second half began with the teams switching sides.

Bayern and Dortmund shared the same idea: they absolutely could not let the game drag on until the final moments, when physical condition would drop significantly and anything could happen.

Yuan Meng tried to move forward, hoping to gain a more advantageous position in the counterattack.

Alaba was determined not to let him have his way, and his carefully chosen stance made Yuan Meng feel extremely uncomfortable.

Shinji Kagawa made a timely pass under pressure from Bayern's midfield, and the ball "whooshed" to Yuan Meng's feet.

Yuan Meng looked ahead and saw very few rendezvous points.

However, he did not hesitate and immediately dribbled forward, only to be met by Alaba, who blocked his cut-in route.

Sure enough, there was research showing that I prefer the inside cut to the bottom cut.

Yuan Meng had a flash of inspiration and made a strong inside cut by flicking the ball laterally. Alaba moved laterally in sync, putting pressure on Yuan Meng with his arm and body at the same time.

Yuan Meng barely managed to maintain her balance, then used her left foot to dribble and change direction, breaking through to the outside where the defense was not tight.

"Yuan Shen is awesome, he outmaneuvered Alaba!"

Alaba didn't seem to be in a hurry, effectively blocking the space for Yuan Meng's left-footed cross, forcing Yuan Meng to cross with her right foot.

It's alright, this was part of Yuan Meng's plan anyway, and he's not limited to using only his left foot!

The left foot technique is more refined, while the right foot has more power; each has its own characteristics!

The ball was struck with great force, flying straight to the far post at high speed.

Yuan Meng was looking for Ramos, the team's focal point center.

"A beautiful cross!"

"Ramos... he's being watched like a hawk!"

"Bayern seem to have planned ahead; Boateng shielded Ramos from behind, clearing the danger!"

Ancelotti smiled slightly at the sight, just as he had expected.

Dortmund's number 51 is indeed a promising player, but he is still too young and his technique is not mature enough.

While watching the video, he noticed that Yuan Meng had various clever tricks on the field, always managing to surprise people.

However, it has a very obvious weakness: the final pass or shot is almost always done with the left foot. There might be occasional right-footed dribbling or strange spins in between, but these are just deceptive tricks and not a cause for concern!

The only unexpected thing was that the right-footed cross from the opposing number 51 was also somewhat threatening.

However, Bayern has two defensive stalwarts, Boateng and Hummels, anchoring the penalty area, so ordinary powerful crosses pose no threat.

With a firm resolve, Ancelotti went to the sidelines to instruct his players to launch a counter-attack!

As Yuan Meng ran back, she glanced back at Alaba, her mind filled with questions.

Why did Alaba insist on placing his right foot on me?

Logically speaking, given Alaba's strength, there was a 60% chance that this pass would be intercepted, yet he didn't make a concerted effort to block it. That's very strange!

"Watch out, Bayern's counterattack!"

"Müller made a long pass before being double-teamed by multiple opponents."

"Ribery's perfect first touch, Yuan Shen, stop him!"

Yuan Meng approached immediately, and Ribery smoothly executed a bicycle kick followed by a change of direction, making it extremely difficult to predict where he would break through.

"Or, should I do what Alaba did and only defend against his inside cuts?"

The thought flashed through Yuan Meng's mind, and he quickly adjusted his position, moving to Ribery's side.

The meaning is clear: only outside routes are allowed!

Ribery was taken aback, then went down to the bottom without any hesitation.

Yuan Meng was facing him sideways, which allowed her to push off with her left foot and accelerate, catching up with Ribery in less than a second.

"Blocking successful!"

"Ribery's cross has been intercepted by Yuan Shen!"

"How come Yuan Shen suddenly had a breakthrough?"

[I only know that those who bet on a tie are in luck!]

Do not try to fathom the power of God!

Yuan Meng suddenly felt enlightened.

Ribery's cut inside was so smooth. Why did I let him enter his comfort zone before?
