The Bundesliga season kicked off the next day after the opening match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Although Werder Bremen, who was regarded as the championship rival by Bayern Munich, has no glory, he still performed well. They beat Bielefeld 2 at home. Klose performed well in this game and won two goals alone.

After the first round, Werder Bremen ranked first with five goals, and Leverkusen, who beat Frankfurt in 4l, ranked second.

Bayern Munich, who scored three goals, ranks third.

The second round of the league is Bayern Munich vs. Leverkusen, the second in the league. If they can win, they will replace it and even go further.

After the game against Mönchengladbach, Magath gave the players a day of rest. After a day, the team resumed training. The main content of the training on this day was to summarize the gains and losses of the previous game. Magath reviewed the game for everyone.

While watching the game video, Magath praised Glory for his performance.

This made Ma Kai a little unhappy.

Look, that's why I have to score

He said to himself in his heart.

Because only when you score a goal will you be noticed, recognized and affirmed, otherwise everything you did before will be meaningless.

The next game against Leverkusen, I have to score a goal

Ma Kai swore in his heart.

"Although there was no goal, Makay was more motivated to participate in training... This is a really gratifying change." On the side of the training ground, Magath said to assistant coach Henk.

"Yes, he never did this in the past." Although Henk was a little worried about Magath's "PR combination" tactics, he had to admit that Makai's performance in training is much more active than before.

Perhaps it is true as Magath said, because the arrival of glory brought pressure to Makai, and the two formed a healthy competition.

If this is the case, it would be a blessing for the team.

Even if the two cannot coexist, having two excellent Sagittarius is a blessing for Bayern Munich.

He hopes that Ma Kai and Rongguang are really just "benevolent competition", not... "vicious competition"

A week later, the second round of the Bundesliga began.

Leverkusen plays Bayern Munich at home, second in the league.

In this game, the starting lineup sent by Magath is no different from that in the first round of the league.

Rongguang and Ma Kai are still in the starting lineup, lying behind Pizarro, waiting for an opportunity to score.

The media and the audience also had great expectations for this game, hoping to see a wonderful game and a wonderful performance of the "PR combination".

This game is really exciting.

This can be seen from the start of the game that scored in four minutes.

In the fourth minute, Barack shot from a long shot outside the penalty area, and the football rolled into the lower left corner of the goal. Bayern Munich took a goal in the away game.

Next, Leverkusen counterattacked and quickly tied the score.

After only fourteen minutes of the game, both sides had already scored two goals.

"Some of them have watched this game, but so far, the BB combination has not started to make efforts.

commentator Marcel Leif said.

What he said is not completely correct.

It’s not that I didn’t start exerting force, but that I couldn’t exert force at all.

At the beginning of the game, Rongguang followed the head coach's tactics and honestly sought a match with Ma Kai.

However, compared with the previous game, Ma Kai became even more serious.

As long as Rongguang passes the football to Ma Kai, don’t expect Ma Kai to pass the football back. Even if it is still far away from the goal, Ma Kai will not pass the football to Rongguang. He would rather pass it to others.

This is like a single output. Football can only flow from glory to Makai, and it is absolutely impossible to flow from glory to Makai again.

In the last game, Ma Kai would pass the football to Glory, and the two would seek some cooperation - where they were not too dependent on goal scores.

In this game, Ma Kai obviously did not want Rongguang to score another goal, so he did not create opportunities for Rongguang.

The threat that Rongguang gave him made him not care about the head coach's request at all.

Even if you don't have a good chance, you can't give Glory the opportunity

Magath is definitely not an idiot. He can tell whether the players are playing according to tactics.

In the first game, Rongguang and Ma Kai were still in harmony, so he didn't think anything was wrong.

But after watching this game for more than ten minutes, he found that something was wrong.

In the past ten minutes, both sides played very openly and had many opportunities to attack. But no one was sure of it.

But Bayern Munich could have grasped it.

If Makai hadn't wasted it, Bayern Munich would have the ability to expand the score.

How did Ma Kai waste it?

After Rongguang passed the football to him, he chose his own Shanyu and would never consider passing the football back or something.

As a result, his Chanyu did not score a goal either

Magath, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned. He had discovered Makai's problem.

But why did Ma Kai suddenly become like this?

In the last game, although Ma Kai also had some Shanyu, in general, there was still a connection between him and Rongguang.

At that time, these two people were indeed a combination.

But now...

Magath suddenly remembered the concerns that assistant coach Henke had expressed about him.

These two people are partnering together, who is the leader and who is the second?

Now it seems that Ma Kai does not want to be a green leaf...

In fact, Magath had considered this issue before. But he did not say that he would definitely ask who would make red flowers and who would make green leaves.

He believes that in this offensive combination, there is no question of who is the main force and who is the auxiliary. Both of them have the ability to be the main force and have the ability to assist the other party.

So in terms of status, there is no difference.

But there will be a similar division of labor in every attack alone. When this attack is dominated by glory, Ma Kai needs to cooperate with glory. Conversely, Ma Kai needs to be the main attacker, glory will attack Ma Kai.

It is possible that several consecutive attacks will focus on glory. In this way, the opponent's defense will change the strategy, adjust the center of gravity, and strengthen the defense of glory.

In this case, Ma Kai's defense will definitely be less stringent than before. Then, when everyone thought this attack was still the main attack of Rongguang, they suddenly passed the football to Ma Kai, giving Ma Kai an excellent opportunity.

The same goes for the other way around.

This is the way Magath envisioned a beautiful "PR combination" partner in his mind.

The two people have equal status, which means that a primary and secondary division of labor is required during the offense, but it is not fixed, but is adjusted at any time.

But he didn't expect that Ma Kai seemed not satisfied with his arrangement.

He seemed to want to fix his position.

But how is this possible?

It’s not that Magath prefers glory, but that if it is fixed, it will be much easier for the opponent to defend himself.

This is a situation that Magath has always avoided.

Now it seems that Ma Kai really hopes this...

Magath frowned. How to solve this problem?

※※※

The game lasted twenty minutes, and the score was still after the initial fast-paced battle. Both sides slowed down and no more goals were generated.

At the beginning of the first half, both sides were actually very open-minded, or they were a bit messy, so both sides had many opportunities.

But now, both teams realize that the game cannot be played like this, otherwise it will be too easy to be scored.

Let’s talk about it first.

Leverkusen stabilized his defense, and Bayern Munich's offensive opportunities did not appear so easily.

Ma Kai now regrets that he was unable to seize the opportunity to score a goal in the first ten minutes, which is the best time to score. Leverkusen's defense is like a big-eyed fishing net, all of which are like a hole and can score any goal.

But even so, he still didn't score.

During this period, he had three shots but missed the goal.

Is his luck still not on his side?

Ma Kai was a little anxious. He didn't score a goal himself, so he naturally paid more attention to his competitor's glory.
