Away to Villarreal, Bayern already knew before the game that this is not a simple battle, and before the game, the two high-level people were happy to have dinner together, the players on the field have begun to compete with each other, such a game to decide who can step into the Champions League 4 strong goal first, obviously both sides do not want to miss.
Recent developments on both sides
To be able to get to this point, Villarreal's performance has exceeded the expectations of most fans, after all, they have stumbled in the group stage and finally barely qualified, and against Juventus, they have completed the counterattack in the case of most fans are not optimistic, and won the game unbeaten in two legs. It can be said that the Villarreal that owns Emery is already a force to be reckoned with, after all, the prestige of the king of the Europa League still needs to be faced, and the team also has a large number of excellent players such as Paulo Torres, Capué, Danjuma, etc., and it seems that they do not want to fall here.
Bayern are under no pressure, they are still in the league this season to lead the second place Dortmund by as many as nine points, and they have recently won two consecutive games in the league, which can be said to be in full shape. In the Champions League, Bayern is more "Buddha blocking the Buddha, God blocking the god", the group stage 6 wins, the first round of the knockout round against Red Bull Salzburg They are once again creating a tragic second leg 7-1 victory over the opponent, with a complete lineup they are still the biggest favorite in the Champions League.
Race conditions
However, at the beginning of the game, Bayern fans felt bad, compared to the regular 4-4-2 coaching Villarreal, bayern side of the platoon seems to have some problems, Koeman was actually placed on the unfamiliar right side, and in the back position in the back position, in the absence of injuries in Goretzka, he actually sent the young man Musharra! It can be said that Nagelsman's whole job was also laid foreshadowing, and sure enough, in the 8th minute, Villarreal's first and only shot of the half brought the goal on target, Emery's beautiful football returned to the lake, the right Foyt made continuous cooperation, and then the ball came to Parejo's feet, and the midfield master from Spain shot like a pass and then assisted Danjuma in front of the goal to complete the goal.
Bayern can be said to have in addition to the number of possessions better than the opponent, their various data completion is suppressed, of which they are rare to create the embarrassing data of 0 shots in the half, with Levan, Koman and Gnabry Bayern is trying to complete the counterattack in the second half, and Huang Qian this side can not agree, concise and fast counterattack is the pursuit of this team, in the 55th minute, Villarreal forward Herard Moreno in front of the box a long-range shot directly hit the goal post, Bayern gradually became passive, Bayern had to replace Sane and Goretzka to strengthen the attack, but their attack not only had any improvement, the goal was almost pierced several times, and in the 63rd minute, Neuer also seemed to be cursed by Benzema to directly intercept the ball, fortunately, in the end, Herard Morenod's hanging shot was deflected, Villarreal could not seize the opportunity, Bayern was also powerless to rewrite the score, and finally the two sides fought 1-0.
After the game
As the only 6-time Champions League winner in the Bundesliga, Bayern undoubtedly carried all the hopes of the Bundesliga European competition, but in this game they broke the big upset and lost to the opponent Villarreal! It is foreseeable that Nagelsman must be responsible for this defeat, he and Emery have formed a contrast, to know that in the group stage Manchester United can beat Villarreal twice because they have the desperate C Ronaldo, and obviously this Bayern team does not have C Ronaldo's ability to change his life but wants to become C Ronaldo's life, Nagelsmann needs to prepare for the next round of the game to avoid Juventus's fate again.
