Chapter 362: Come to Basel!

Three draws were won in five games, and the advantage of 17 points was narrowed to 11 points!

Munich media are very worried about Bayern's condition. Can such a Bayern still achieve the bold statement of the third-year championship in the season?

"For the mid-week Champions League, Heinx put the king on the bench. There is no problem. The question is, who else can lead Bayern to continue moving forward except the king?"

The Munich Evening News raised such a question.

"Ribery's performance last night continued his last game, but he was too eager to prove himself, and the push shots in front of the goal were saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Without Kroos' midfield transfer, Bayern's midfield lost its former calmness; without Robben's breakthrough on the flank, Bayern's right offense was less sharp. Although Olic performed well, there was still a certain gap with Robben.

More importantly, it lacks the King's breakthrough. Except for Ribery, Bayern has almost no one disrupted the opponent's defense line. Without Gomez, Bayern lost the fulcrum and blasting point in the frontcourt offense.

From this game, we can see that under the current circumstances, the health of Wang and Gomez is too important to Bayern.

Bayern wants to score a goal, but it depends on this golden partner!

However, the two have had enough rest and hope that their mid-week Champions League can bring us a stable and efficient performance!”

Bayern's poor record gave pictures a chance to criticize. They not only criticized Bayern's recent status, but also criticized the Munich Evening News' optimistic view of the Champions League.

"We have long said that Bayern is still immersed in vacation, winning two wins and three draws in five games, losing a full six points, allowing the Hornets to narrow the gap to 11 points.

The pro-Bayern media believes that there is no problem with Bayern's Champions League in the middle of the week, but our reporter does not agree with this view.

Let’s analyze Bayern’s performance after the winter break. The Bundesliga has three away games, and the two wins all come from home.

What does this mean?

This shows that Bayern's away record is very average, with only three draws.

In this state, I still want to win at Basel's home court?

Perhaps someone will refute my point of view and speak of historical achievements. The two sides fought three times in history and Bayern won a complete victory.

But the most unreliable thing in this world is historical data.

There are many factors that affect the outcome of a game, but the most important one is the game state. Bayern has been in poor form recently and is far from returning to the first half of the season.

In this state, I want to beat Basel away?

I just want to say that Bayern is thinking too much!

A team wants to win depends on overall performance, and Bayern is the representative of overall football.

Although Bayern did not concede the goal last weekend, judging from their recent games, the defense is really bad. Speaking of offense, if Basel can limit the performance of the Chinese boy and leave Gomez alone, what will Bayern score the goal?

So, welcoming Bayern is likely to be a defeat!”

In response to the comments from the newspaper, Heinx said in an interview with German state television: "I admit that we are in poor condition recently and have also accepted criticism from the media.

But I disagree with this view that we will fail before the game even begins.

It is indeed very important to perform on the spot in football games, and it is related to the state during the game. I believe that my players will perform well in this important game.

Because they have seen big scenes!”

Ram said in an interview with a Munich media: "Our condition has really not been satisfactory to the media and fans in the near future. A season is long and no team can guarantee that they can stay in the best shape throughout the season.

We are facing many difficulties now, but we are confident that we can get through this most difficult stage.”

...

At noon on August 22, Bayern and his party appeared at Basel Airport, and reporters who had been waiting at the airport flocked to them.

In addition to Heinx, Wang Qi is the target of the reporters' pursuit.

Faced with the surging wave of reporters, Wang Qi knew that he could not leave without saying a few words.

So he said to the reporter: "A lot of media have been talking about Bayern's state recently. Our state has not yet recovered to its best. This is an indisputable fact.

Some people will not believe what I say now, and may even mock me for being arrogant.

So I won’t say that, just look at the game!”

Is this a sign of confidence?

Probably so.

...

Switzerland did not take some "extraordinary measures" for this victory. Basel did not make any troubles in training or adapting to the competition venue.

Some Munich media analyzed that this is not how friendly Basel is to Bayern, because both sides still have a second round of matches.

At 8 pm on the 22nd, the match between CSKA and Real Madrid started on time at the CSKA home court Luzhniki Stadium.

At the same time, the match between Napoli and Chelsea also started on time at the home court of Napoli.

Luzhniki Stadium, this is the first time the two teams have met in history. CSKA Moscow has won 1 win and 2 draws at home against Spain. The team hopes to use the cold environment to win the club's 50th European victory.

Real Madrid has won 7 games for Russia in 20 years before 2001, with 3 draws and 4 losses without a win. The only two wins were after that, winning Moscow Locomotive and Zenit respectively.

The game was held in cold weather at minus five degrees Celsius. CSKA took advantage of its home court advantage and adaptation to the weather to put pressure on Real Madrid's defense line at the beginning of the game.

Real Madrid also scored their first shot until the 14th minute of the first half.

Khdira made a pick-up pass, Benzema volleyed more than 20 meters away, but the Frenchman also left the field due to this shot strain, and Higuain came on as a substitute.

In the 28th minute, a-Berezukic made a header and made a mistake in passing, but Higuain intercepted it. Coentrane made a cross from the left and was barely headed by Tosic. C-Ronaldo shot with his left foot from 18 meters away from the goal on the right side of the penalty area and entered the net with his left foot!

The ball went in, one to zero!

This is the 36th goal scored by the Portuguese superstar 35 appearances this season, and his efficiency is amazing!

In the following game, both sides created goals, but they were unable to seize them.

Time entered stoppage time, and the CSKA, who was unwilling to fail at home, launched a crazy attack in the final stage.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Moscow CSKA launched an attack from the right, Dezagoyev made a cross from the right, Berezutsky headed the ball one after another, Wayne Bloom volleyed before Alonso ten meters away.

The ball has entered!

One to one!

The CSKA tied the score at the last moment, leaving the suspense of advancement to the second round.

Real Madrid will only return to the Bernabeu with the advantage of away goals. Real Madrid has lost only 1 time to nine home games against Russian teams in history.

In 1991, he lost 1-3 to Sparta Moscow.
