Chapter 58 The Right Way

Ribery's way of participating in the offense is no longer to drive the ball and run wildly.

Although he still plays on the wing most of the time, he pays more attention to the cooperation with his teammates.

He is not even greedy for possession of the ball.

When the football reaches his feet, he will pass the football quickly.

Unless the chance is particularly good, he will not run wildly by himself.

Especially near Manchester City's penalty area, his passes increased significantly.

"Ribery's activity is really unexpected. You should know that his performance in the offense in the first half was like stealth..."

"Yes, the most active person in Bayern Munich in the first half was Robben, not him. But when Robben was suppressed by Rong, Ribery is now active again."

Even Bayern Munich's head coach Van Gaal was a little surprised. After seeing Ribery's performance, he got up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, and stared at Ribery.

In the 51st minute, Ribery suddenly passed the ball to Thomas Mueller at the front of the penalty area. Mueller shot from outside the penalty area, forcing Joe Hart to make a beautiful save.

"Oh great that after Manchester City scored, Joe Hart has been relaxing for a long time. Now we have seen his wonderful save again... but this just means that Bayern Munich's offensive has started."

"Ribery's sudden pass after the breakthrough caught Manchester City's defense a little off guard - they thought Ribery was going to continue to dribble the ball to the bottom line..."

The TV broadcast began to close-up shots of Ribery. In the camera, Ribery was shouting something to Thomas Muller. Judging from his gestures, he seemed to ask Muller to lean over some more...

"Thomas, you have to be closer to me," Ribery said to Mueller indeed. "This way it will be less difficult for me to pass the ball, and we can continue to cooperate more."

Muller was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I get it, Frank. But then again... the fiction of the ball you passed just now scared me. If it weren't for my quick reaction..." Muller began to brag.

Ribery made a gesture to him: "Okay, Thomas. Then you should react faster."

Ribery's sudden activity made Manchester City's defense tighter again.

This was far beyond the expectations of Manchester City. They originally thought that after glory suppressed Robben, Manchester City's defense should be safe.

So during this period, Manchester City played very passively.

And in the 63rd minute, their goal was declared lost.

This time, Ribery did not get the ball on the wing, but instead directly sent a top pass after receiving the pass from his teammate in the middle.

Gomez inserted the diagonally, caught the ball behind Manchester City back line, and then turned around and hit

The football flew directly into the lower corner of the far end of the goal, goalkeeper Joe Hart didn't react at all, and just watched the football fly into the goal he guarded...

"Oh-oh-oh Bayern Munich equalized the score Mario Gomez." When John Mortson said this, everyone could hear how frustrated he was.

Manchester City finally took the lead, but now Bayern Munich equalized the score.

For an inexperienced team like Manchester City, it must have hit their morale. They lack the experience of dealing with this situation in the Champions League.

He was worried that the concealment would have a heavy blow to Manchester City and then affect the remaining games.

"In fact, before this goal was lost, Bayern Munich's offensive was already very strong, and Manchester City's defense line was in danger. Moreover, this danger was different from the first half. The danger in the first half only came from Robben's shot, which is relatively easy to guard against. At least Diego Godin has gradually become accustomed to Robben's offensive routines after Robben's initial offensive. Robben's goal was actually formed after Godin intercepted Robben in advance..." Alan Hansen analyzed from the side.

"But this crisis in the second half is obviously different. The attack was initiated by Ribery, but Ribery was not the last goal scorer. He hid himself well among Bayern Munich players and gave football to his teammates instead of letting himself fight alone. In this regard, Ribery's performance is much smarter than Robben. This will increase the difficulty of Manchester City's defense, making Manchester City players not know when defending whether Ribery wants to shoot by himself or pass the ball to other Manchester City players..."

Van Gaal also saw this scene. While everyone around him was cheering for the equalization goal, he was not very excited. He set his eyes on Ribery.

He squinted his eyes, and Ribery was celebrating the goal with his teammates.

At this time, Ribery seemed to have some core meaning.

Van Gaal thought in his heart, if this was not the occasional performance of Ribery... Then he would be more confident in Bayern Munich's performance this season

In fact, after Robben came to Bayern Munich, he once gave him some hints, hoping to make himself the core of the team. In terms of personal ability, Robben is of course qualified to be the core, but Van Gaal has not made any statement for a long time because he wants to see Ribery's performance.

Ribery is not weak either. If you just deny Ribery's core position so easily and then hand over this position to Robben, if you have no reason to show off, doing so would be a conflict in the locker room...

So Van Gaal has always been very cautious.

Judging from this game alone, Ribery let him see what he wanted to see.

After Gomez scored, Manchester City Stadium suddenly became much quieter, and it was Bayern Munich's turn to cheer.

Amid the cheers of Bayern Munich fans, Kiern Reisville looked at the Manchester City players who were a little dazed on the court.

The thought in my mind stubbornly emerged from the water - useless, no matter how hard we try, this is our first time participating in the Champions League. We cannot defeat a behemoth like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid... Look, this is the evidence

Thinking of this in my heart, Kiran Resville's eyes couldn't help but fall on Glory.

He saw Glory waving at his teammates.

"Okay, it's no big deal." Rong Guang clapped his face and said to his teammates on the court.

Then he asked Joe Hart to kick the ball over and was about to kick off.

After taking the football, he turned around and ran back, ran to the middle circle, threw the football down, and stepped on the midpoint with his feet.

"Come on, get ready to kick off," he shouted to his teammates who were still standing.

His call brought Manchester City players back to their feet and everyone returned to their positions.

Prepare to re-telephone.

At this time, the commentators were still worried about Manchester City, worried that the ball would greatly impact Manchester City's morale.

No one can tell that Manchester City has actually recovered from the hit that just lost the ball.

If any other Manchester City player is panicking about the ball, then just look at the glory. When they see that their captains are so calm, what else can they worry about?

This is a subversive truth that has been proved countless times in the past season: as long as there is Rong on the court, there is nothing to worry about any problem on the court.

This is not superstition, it has been proven by countless games.

As long as there is no panic in glory, then they will have nothing to panic.

※※※

Ribery and his teammates celebrated the goal and ran back to his half. On the way, he saw the performance of glory.

The expression on his face was very calm and composed, and he didn't seem to take this goal to heart. He has such qualifications.

However... Ribery was not scared by the calmness of glory. He already knew the right path and was not afraid of competing with glory.

Confronting glory with glory may be the best way to get rid of the shadow of glory.

※※※

The competition began quickly and both sides returned to the same starting line.

Robben seemed anxious after the game re-conference.

Although Ribery did not score, the team's threatening attacks have now run away from him. Robben doesn't want to lose to Ribery.

He also wants to threaten Manchester City's goal on his side.

He doesn't want to be defeated by Ribery in the competition with Ribery.

He did have a chance to show himself, but in the end his dribble was cut off under the joint defense of Leiden Barnes and Matuidi. He didn't even cut inside and conceded the ball.

The football was then sent to Glory's feet.

When Robben saw Rong Guang take the ball, he just happened to try his best to return to defense.

Of course, after he caught up with Rongguang, Rongguang passed the ball, and he rushed back to the ground.

"Robben's offensive methods are too single, too easy to be seen through and intercept the ball. Perhaps... he should pass more and pass the ball, don't always think about dribbling the ball by himself to solve the problem..."

"Robben believed in his own abilities too much, but it is obvious that his technical characteristics have been thoroughly studied by Manchester City. And after Rong was transferred here, Robben was basically no longer able to get support from the backcourt..."

The commentators began to criticize Robben. You should know that when Robben performed well in the first half, what they said was completely different...

But Robben should be criticized now.

It is obvious that Bayern Munich's left offense is basically useless because of him, as long as the ball falls under his feet, it will most likely be cut in the end.

On the other hand, Ribery played very well. After scoring the goal, Bayern Munich obviously increased his investment in attacking on the left.
