Super Marshal

After several days of targeted training, Schalke 04’s left-side attacking strategy has shown results.

According to Slomka's strategy, at the beginning of the game, Schalke 04 frequently launched offensives against Marcelo's side.

Asamoah and Rafinha both actively attack this side, and Rakitic also sends the ball to this side more often.

Facing the opponent's attack, Marcelo was confused and looked very embarrassed.

The most dangerous one occurred in the eighth minute of the first half. Schalke attacked from the right, Rafinha advanced, and Van Bommel defended. However, Marcelo and Van Bommel did not have a tacit understanding of cooperation. He made a mistake when defending and failed to follow Rafinha in time, allowing the latter to cut into the penalty area and cross the ball from the front of the small penalty area to the goal.

This sudden attack shocked the entire Allianz Arena fans.

But at this critical moment, when Kuranyi stepped in and was about to take a shot, Neuer roared, decisively abandoned the goal and attacked, with his arms spread majesticly, looking very domineering.

Kuranyi was slightly hesitant with his last kick, causing the shooting angle to be blocked by Neuer. Neuer fell to the ground to catch his final kick, once again resolving Schalke's single-handed kill. .

This wonderful save also made all Bayern Munich fans cheer. Substitute goalkeeper Kahn was so excited that he rushed out of the bench, cheered loudly, and applauded Neuer vigorously.

But on the sidelines, Van Bommel pushed Marcelo away hard.

"Boy, what's the matter with you? I told you, go back, I'll follow you outside, why are you coming out?" Van Bommel shouted, he was really impatient with this kid.

It's been several rounds, why are you still so out of shape?

"I'm sorry, I was too nervous and didn't hear clearly." Marcelo defended.

He was also very regretful about his mistake, and he didn't want to be like this, but everything happened in an instant, and he had no time to react. By the time he understood what Van Bommel meant, Raphinha had already entered.

"Wake up, kid, this is the Bundesliga, not your Brazil." Van Bommel walked back angrily.

In the previous four rounds of the league, the opponents either did not pay much attention to attacking the left wing, or they wanted to attack, but did not have the right players. Therefore, although Marcelo made frequent mistakes, they were not fatal. There were teammates wiping his butt. Just covered it up.

But this game was against Schalke 04.

Asamoah is a naturalized international player from Germany. You can tell with your head that if you don’t have the strength, the German national team would be willing to naturalize such a player?

As for Raphinha, let alone that.

Marcelo hung his head, looking a little frustrated.

It’s not that he is inattentive or that he doesn’t work hard, it’s just that sometimes he always feels that changes on the court happen so fast that he has no time to react and doesn’t know how to react.

If he could, he would even want to cry.

Could it be that his strength really doesn't meet the requirements, so that's why he plays like this?

When Marcelo felt frustrated, he heard the voice of head coach Gao Han coming from the sidelines.

"Hey, Marcelo, it's okay, you've done a good job, keep up the good work, I believe you can do it."

Marcelo turned his head and saw the head coach on the sidelines, who was constantly applauding him. The Brazilian nodded heavily towards Gao Han, mustered up his courage, and rejoined the game.

Everyone said that Gao Han was never wrong about people. Even he believed in and had so much confidence in himself. Did he really want to admit defeat?

No, never!

"As long as your defense can reach the level of a qualified defender in Europe's top leagues, then you will definitely be able to become the best offensive full-back in the world!"

Gao Han's words still rang in his ears, rekindling Marcelo's confidence and fighting spirit.

I want to be the best left back in the world!

The game restarted, and Schalke 04 was still attacking Bayern Munich's left wing.

In the twelfth minute, Rafinha once again moved forward and cooperated with Asamoah, but this time Marcelo tightly entangled Asamoah, preventing him from easily cutting into the penalty area, and finally forced the German international Before reaching the bottom line.

As a last resort, Asamoah kicked the ball to Marcelo's feet, and it bounced out of the baseline for a corner kick.

Marcelo breathed a sigh of relief and was about to laugh when he suddenly heard Van Bommel's voice coming from behind him.

"You kid is really not smart enough. He wants to kick your foot, but you don't know how to stop the ball?"

Marcelo's original intention to laugh suddenly disappeared, but when he thought about it again, yes, I am really stupid.

You can't grab it even if you live or die. If someone kicks it to you, just stop. Doesn't the ball belong to me?

Thinking of this, Marcelo slapped his forehead hard. He finally knew how the pig died.

Schalke 04 took a corner kick, but Kuranyi's header in the penalty area went very far.

"Boy, take your time to find the feeling. If the feeling is right, the game will go smoothly."

Neuer was about to serve a goal kick, Bayern Munich pressed forward as a whole, and Van Bommel took the opportunity to say next to Marcelo.

"Also, the next time your compatriot comes forward again, you shout when changing defense and I will follow, so that you will not always have a nerve short-circuit." Van Bommel said very fiercely, especially after that, he even gave a training sentence, "Be smart."

"Understood!" Marcelo agreed forcefully.

After that, the visiting team still wanted to capture Bayern Munich's left wing, but Marcelo seemed to start to find the feeling and followed Asamoah tightly, but did not get close, but always got stuck on the inside of the opponent. This made Asamoah Moa also played very depressed.

Especially when Schalke 04's right-side attack failed to create any more threats, Bayern Munich finally freed up its hands.

In the 19th minute, Modric got out of the middle and passed directly behind him. Ribery broke through Rafinha's defense and passed to the center of the small penalty area. Klose stepped in and headed the ball in front of the goal. zero!

This goal completely destroyed Bayern Munich's confidence.

As Gao Han said in the locker room, Schalke 04's defense is not strong. As long as Bayern Munich stabilizes its defense and frees up its hands, it is not difficult to break the opponent's goal.

But this goal also completely made Schalke 04 anxious.

Soon, in the 22nd minute, during an attack, Asamoah took the ball from the right. Marcelo leaned forward during one-on-one defense, but Asamoah pushed him away hard.

The skinny Marcelo was almost pushed to the ground, but the referee didn't seem to see it, but the Brazilian was not to be outdone. After standing firm, he turned around and rushed forward, entangled Asa again. Moa finally forced the German international to make a hasty cross, passing the ball directly over the goal and out of the baseline.

The entire Allianz Arena erupted in deafening boos, apparently mocking Asamoah.

But at this time, captain Van Bommel rushed to the referee immediately and told what happened from beginning to end, indicating that Asamoah had behaved inappropriately towards his teammates.

The referee immediately communicated with the linesman, called Asamoah over and gave him a serious warning.

…………

…………

"This kid is very difficult to deal with."

In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Slomka was a little surprised.

Marcelo is not tall and relatively thin, but he is very fast and very flexible. As long as he does not fight close to him and makes easy moves, it will be difficult for Asamoah to get rid of him.

More importantly, this kid seems to have learned a lesson and is always stuck on the inside.

In the face of Bayern Munich's defense, even if Schalke 04 can pass, the quality will not be high, and it will be difficult for the responder in the middle to seize the opportunity. After all, Van Buyten and Hummels are both good air control capability.

Judging from the defensive performance, Marcelo still has no redeeming qualities. The only thing that is noticeable is that his fighting spirit is very tenacious, and it seems that his previous recklessness has improved. This game he focused on defense.

"Do you feel that Neuer's activity area is so large?" The assistant coach was a little confused.

Neuer is a player from Schalke 04. They are all very familiar with him. He has good foot skills and excellent reflexes. However, he did not have such a wide range of activities in Schalke 04 before.

Or it should be said that the coaching staff did not dare to let him do this.

But judging from this game, when defending, he even dared to attack near the penalty spot to pick up the ball. When Bayern Munich was holding the ball, he often pressed to the outside of the penalty area to receive back passes. His performance Very active.

"What on earth does Gao Han want to play?" Slomka frowned, thinking hard.

"Could it be that, as he said at the European Head Coaches Summit before, he wants to include goalkeepers in the passing and controlling system?"

…………

…………

After Bayern Munich took the lead, Schalke 04 launched a crazy counterattack. The target was still on Bayern Munich's left, and the focus was on attacking Marcelo's side.

Gao Han had been slow to take action before because he knew that there were some ideas and experiences on the court that needed to be discovered by Marcelo himself. Only by mastering these, could he barely peek into the defensive door.

After more than 20 minutes of actual combat, this smart boy seemed to have vaguely noticed something. In addition, Schalke 04 strengthened its attack, so Gao Han directly used the five-star defensive card to act on Marcelo. Improve his defensive ability.

Although this improvement is only temporary, as smart as Marcelo, he should be able to learn a lot during this period.

The fact is as Gao Han expected. With the support of the five-star defensive card, Marcelo's defensive ability on the left has been greatly improved. Not only did he block Asamoah and Rafinha, There were even two or three great tackles.

This allowed the Brazilian left-back to start winning applause at the Allianz Arena.

After the defense became stable, Bayern Munich also began to attack frequently.

In the 32nd minute, Ribery forced a breakthrough to the baseline from the left, but was destroyed by the opponent's defensive player. He was also cleared after taking a corner kick. However, Modric received the ball and tried to pass into the penalty area. Schalke was found to be offside. The trap failed, Robben caught the ball and scored in one fell swoop, giving Bayern Munich another victory, 2-0.

Two goals completely shattered the spirit of Schalke 04, but Bayern Munich's offensive continued.

In the 42nd minute, after Robben took the ball from the right and cut inside, he passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area with his left foot. Ribery stepped in to catch the ball and made an emergency stop. After dunking the defender, he hit a ball with his right foot. Mark the curve ball and once again broke through Lensing's goal, three to zero.

After changing sides in the second half, Bayern Munich scored another victory in the 59th minute. Lahm made a pass from the right, and Klose, who ran out of the space, headed the ball into the goal without being defended, making it 4-0.

However, Marcelo finally made a mistake. Asamoah seized the opportunity, cut into the penalty area, and hit a powerful volley. Neuer flew to save the ball, but the follow-up Kuranyi easily pushed and scored, one to four.

This is also the first goal Bayern Munich has conceded this season.

But in the 84th minute, Modric passed the ball, Ribery passed through the front of the penalty area, and shot low from a small angle in the penalty area. He scored twice and helped Bayern Munich finally lock the score at 5-1. .
