Chapter 230 How to become stronger without upgrading?
After the DFB-Pokal against Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayern will go straight to Stuttgart. The exhaustion of the journey has not receded, and they have invested in the No.11 Bundesliga round.
In this battle, they played against Stuttgart at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
This season, Stuttgart's results are not good. In the past ten rounds, they have only eight points with two wins, two draws and six losses.
In the standings, Stuttgart ranks 14th and has half a foot into the relegation zone.
This year's Stuttgart, the offense is weak, and the defense is even more "touching". They conceded 15 goals in ten rounds, ranking second in the Bundesliga.
This first Bundesliga champion after the unification of East and West Germany has been in a mess in recent years.
Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, it should be easy for Bayern, which has won a winning streak in multiple lines recently, to win against Stuttgart in this state.
And it seems that against Stuttgart, Van Gaal thought so too.
On the starting list announced before the game, everyone was surprised to see that Yang Mo, who had escorted Bayern in recent games, did not appear in the starting lineup.
And besides Yang Mo, Gomez, who has been partnering with Yang Mo on the front line, also sat on the bench together.
I don't know if it's because Van Gaal thinks Stuttgart is too weak and can solve it without Yang Mo and Gomez.
Or maybe Van Gaal wants Yang Mo and Gomez, who have been playing all games recently, to take a break to save their energy for the Champions League three days later.
In a word, after the game started, Yang Mo and Gomez were sitting on the bench.
But seeing Yang Mo talking and laughing with Gomez on the bench, Bayern fans at least don't have to worry about Yang Mo being dissatisfied because of the substitute and having conflicts with Van Gaal.
In fact, fans really don't have to worry.
Gomez will not say, the reason why Van Gaal let Yang Mo rest is really considering Yang Mo's physical fitness and physical problems.
After all, after Franck Ribery was injured in the last few games, Yang Mo, who gradually came to the core position, used it as the starting point of the attack every time, playing every game.
Yang Mo has just returned from injury, and with such a dense schedule, Van Gaal must consider Yang Mo's physical fitness and body, so as to avoid Yang Mo's injury problems due to physical fitness.
Among professional athletes, almost most of the injuries are caused by fatigue.
Now that Bayern lacks Ribery, if Yang Mo is also injured, it will be terrible.
After coming to Bayern, Van Gaal has been frightened by injury problems, and he can't do without fear.
Although Yang Mo and Gomez came off the bench, Van Gaal still used the 442 midfield diamond position in the selection of the starting formation, and continued to emphasize the use of pass control to initiate offense and defense.
On the front line, it was Klose who replaced Gomez.
The former Bayern player also had a brilliant performance in cooperation with Yang Mo at the beginning of the season.
But since participating in the World Cup qualifiers, it seems that the FIFA syndrome has not subsided, and the state of the club is very sluggish, and he was put on the bench by Van Gaal.
Being able to play this time is a bit of a surprise to everyone.
Compared with Klose, another striker who came on as a substitute for Yang Mo surprised everyone even more.
Luca Toni, the Bayern veteran who had conflicts with Van Gaal before.
Seeing Tony starting, many Bayern fans were very moved. They hadn't seen the veteran who played for Bayern last season in the league for a long time.
In addition to emotion, the fans also hope that Tony can play well, get back the state of last season, and help Bayern regain its glory.
Unlike the fans, Van Gaal on the sidelines watched Tony play, but his heart was not very happy.
According to his original plan, Olić was injured and could not play. With Yang Mo and Gomez on the bench, he was going to play 4321 Klose as a single striker.
But before the game, Bayern executives suddenly suggested to him that they hoped that Tony could play in this game.
For this reason, Van Gaal even had a big fight with Bayern chairman Hoeness on the phone, and they broke up unhappy.
But despite this, Van Gaal compromised in the end due to the intervention of the upper echelons of the team.
This is why Tony was finally able to play in this game.
Van Gaal was upset, but Tony, who played, held back his energy and wanted to prove himself in this game.
Especially in this game, he played as a substitute for Yang Mo to prove that he is no worse than a fledgling rookie.
But what Tony didn't expect was that his idea, which was quite secondary, was shattered after the game started.
This game was originally considered to be dominated by Bayern, or even crushed.
In the beginning, they fell into an unimaginable deadlock.
Facing Stuttgart, Bayern had an advantage on the field from the very beginning, and the highest ball possession rate even reached 70.00% or more in part of the first half.
But what makes everyone strange is that Bayern, who is in full control of the situation on the field, has repeatedly failed to convert possession into goals.
Klose and Tony, who finally appeared on the stage, have not played for a long time, and it is completely difficult to regain their form.
Or Van Gaal's tactics made the two very uncomfortable, causing the two to have no idea how to score goals when facing the second-ranked defense in the Bundesliga.
Just like that, when the whistle blew for the end of the first half, Bayern, who had more than 70.00% possession of the ball, failed to score a single goal.
After entering the intermission, Van Gaal first used Klose, who performed poorly in the big Altintop loop, to continue to strengthen the control of the midfield.
Immediately afterwards, when Van Gaal was about to replace Tony with Yang Mo, he hesitated.
Looking at Tony, Van Gaal thought to himself: "Continue to show those people what a stupid decision it is to let this guy play!"
Van Gaal understood that Tony was able to play this time, there must be someone behind him.
If you want Bayern's high-level to give up completely, you must prove that his decision is correct, and let Bayern understand that Tony is no longer suitable for Bayern.
At the beginning of the second half, Van Gaal found that Tony really cooperated with his ideas.
Unlike Klose who shared the pressure in the first half, Tony, who became a single arrow in the second half, completely showed his poor performance.
Two minutes into the second half, Bayern pulled open the Stuttgart defense with the help of the midfielder, and Schweinsteiger passed the ball straight to Tony in the penalty area.
After receiving the ball, there was only one goalkeeper left between Tony and the Stuttgart goal.
But then, without knowing whether it was due to nervousness or the influence of the defensive players around him, Tony kicked an anti-aircraft gun.
Duan Xuan from Yangma's studio couldn't help but sigh for that hot-eyed shot.
"Oh, what a pity!"
"Tony's state is too bad this time. Not only did he not cooperate with his teammates very well, but he also made frequent mistakes in front of the goal."
"It's all over now, should Van Gaal consider replacing Yang Mo to play, and it's not a problem to let Tony waste opportunities like this."
"If you drag it on, you will be tied by Stuttgart if you are not careful."
Director Tao then added, "If Bayern want to continue chasing points, they must win this game."
Perhaps influenced by the mysterious power from the east, Van Gaal saw that Tony had done enough of making a fool of himself, so he turned to Yang Mo and said, "Yang, go warm up."
"Okay, boss!" Yang Mo replied quite simply.
In the system, the experience from LV22 to LV23 is almost full. If you don't play, how can you upgrade your experience.
If you don't upgrade, how can you make him even more awesome.
