Chương 38: Another Goal, Bayern is Anxious!
Although Messi isn't known for his speed, it doesn't mean he's slow. In fact, Messi is quite fast, especially before his major injury, his speed on the wings could be compared to a fast horse!
However, because of his exceptional dribbling and bursting abilities, people tend to overlook his speed.
And now, in the sprint between Lin and Neuer, Lin's speed advantage quickly emerged.
Neuer's long legs allowed him to take larger strides, but Lin's super-fast stride frequency of four steps per second meant he could nearly run an extra step every second!
It's like sprinters Su Bingtian and Usain Bolt, where Su Bingtian has quick steps, and Bolt has larger but slower steps.
Before 70 meters, Su Bingtian would have the advantage, but after 70 meters, Bolt with his longer strides catches up and ultimately surpasses due to the greater stride length.
With the distance in football being less than 20 meters, at such a distance, the faster stride frequency of Lin is more advantageous.
In the stands, over fifty thousand Bayern fans were on the edge of their seats, eagerly watching, but unable to shout a word.
In their minds, they yelled: "Neuer, run faster, even faster!"
But unfortunately, no matter how they shouted, they couldn't change the result on the field.
With the quicker stride frequency, Lin was the first to reach the ball.
Neuer lagged, and seeing Lin already with the ball, he fiercely attempted a tackle, intending to stop the attack with a foul.
Being outside the penalty area, he couldn't touch the ball with his hands.
In a one-on-one against Lin, he wasn't confident he could stop him.
So, a tackle was the best choice at that moment.
Knowing the opponent wouldn't let him through easily, Lin gently flicked the ball as Neuer went for the tackle, the ball flying over his head.
Swiftly evading the tackle, Lin attempted another push, and the ball rolled into Bayern's goal.
After scoring, the chasing Lahm entered the small box.
So, Lin stared toward him and raised his eyebrows, "What did you say earlier? Can you repeat that?"
Lahm, irked by Lin's arrogance, clenched his fists ready to confront him.
Quickly, Werder Bremen players rushed over, shielding Lin, while team captain Fritz and Bayern's players began pushing each other.
A scuffle about to begin?
Bring it on!
Who's afraid of who!
The referee swiftly intervened, showing yellow cards to Fritz and two Bayern players.
Issuing three yellow cards in a short span, the effect was immediate, particularly frightening those already booked.
Soon, Lahm calmed down as he wasn't someone easily provoked.
Today, however, Lin had truly angered him, causing a momentary loss of composure.
The yellow card made him realize his impulsiveness. For a defender, a yellow card greatly limits defensive actions, preventing them from risking fouls easily.
This impairs their defensive ability and exposes a vulnerability to targeted attacks from opponents.
Therefore, unless tactically required, defenders shouldn't take risky actions leading to cards.
He had momentarily forgotten this due to his haste, an unforgivable mistake.
In the VIP box, Hoeness and Rummenigge expressions darkened.
To them, Lin's actions were clearly provocative towards Bayern Munich.
Yet, with Guardiola present, they couldn't react publicly and had to suppress their anger.
Observing their discomfort, Guardiola couldn't help but smile inwardly.
...
"Goal! In the 46th minute, Werder Bremen's number 10 player Lin scored again, changing the score once more!"
"This young player of Chinese descent exhibited impressive performances in this game, scoring twice against Bayern. Lin's performance is truly outstanding!"
"Yes, watching him, I'm reminded of Messi in the 2005 World Youth Championship. If he maintains this level, his future potential is limitless!"
Marcy Tiwan and Hussk Baker, impressed by Lin's second goal, now held high hopes for his future.
"Midway into the second half, the score is now 2-1, a disadvantage for Bayern. It's almost certain that, after scoring this goal, Werder Bremen will more resolutely execute their defensive tactics."
"For Bayern Munich, breaking through the opponent's goal will be significantly harder!"
"And if they continue pressing on, the vacancies in the defense could easily be exploited by the opponent, leading to more conceded goals!"
Hussk Baker added, "But Bayern has no choice. They not only need to keep attacking but also must figure out a way to score twice in the remaining 14 minutes; otherwise, they'll either equalize and go to a penalty shootout!"
"Indeed, the Telecom Cup games don't have extra time, which significantly disadvantages Bayern."
Even the commentators could understand this logic; surely Bayern's coach couldn't be unaware.
He immediately made tactical adjustments, instructing the players to launch attacks from both sides, utilizing their individual skills to break the stalemate.
Ribery, upon entering the game, diversified Bayern's attacks, not limiting them to the right side but also utilizing the left.
Compared to Robben, Ribery prefers passing to his teammates rather than solo plays.
His numerous runs down the flanks and subsequent crosses posed a significant threat to Werder Bremen's defense.
However, the team's striker, Gomez, was in poor form today. Besides a shot in the first half, his other attempts were off-target, far below his usual standards.
In the 48th minute, Gomez fell to the ground after a tussle with defender Papastathopoulos.
After assessing the player's condition, the referee signaled for the stretcher to carry him off the field.
Gomez signaled to the coaching staff for a substitution, indicating he couldn't continue the match.
Misfortunes never come singly - with the team trailing and their main striker injured, a sense of worry crept over the spectators:
Could it be that in Bayern's first game of the new season, they were on the verge of defeat?
