Mandzukic acted as a fulcrum in the frontcourt, and his ball play created favorable conditions for Bayern's offense.

Muller's first goal was an assist from Mandzukic, and Gotze's goal also had a lot to do with him.

But now that the score is ahead, the opponent is likely to launch a counterattack.

Guardiola is considering whether to replace Mandzukic with a fast winger who can break through in the second half?

In this case, when Manchester City attacks them, they can try to use their speed to counterattack.

But it is a pity that Robben was injured, and now only Ribery is left in the Robbery team.

Fortunately, Shaqiri still sits on the bench. Although his strength is not as good as Robben's, he is still enough.

But it's still early, and it's impossible for Manchester City to do nothing after falling behind.

Thinking of this, Guardiola turned his attention to the young player wearing the light blue No. 10 jersey on the field.

Lin, your team is in a desperate situation, what will you do?

On the field, Manchester City's players were a little stunned.

Bayern's strength is indeed strong, completely different from the opponents they have encountered in the league.

The last time they played at home, they were overwhelmed by Bayern.

After coming to the opponent's home court this time, this feeling became even stronger.

Due to Pantilimon's poor performance in the league, Pellegrini lost trust in him.

This time Manchester City's starting goalkeeper has been replaced by Joe Hart.

However, in the first half, the gate guarded by Joe Hart was breached twice by the opponent.

This made Joe Hart feel a bit disgraced and very anxious, fearing that he would be replaced in anger by the coach.

Fortunately, Pellegrini did not get angry at the goalkeeper because of these two missed goals.

The Chilean engineer is now more troubled by the team's defensive problems. He has started to transform the team's defense since he first joined Manchester City.

Various defender combinations have been tried, but the results are still unsatisfactory.

In the Premier League before, they often conceded goals against weak teams. Now in the away game, facing the powerful Bayern Munich, do you expect this defense to not concede a single goal?

Go ahead and dream!

It's just that he didn't expect that the goal would come so early and so many goals would be conceded!

Falling behind by two goals in 12 minutes, this situation is too passive!

"Bayern seems to have seen through our defensive characteristics, and their offense is very targeted!"

"Mandzukic was just a cover today. He only acted as a fulcrum in Bayern's offense. However, the presence of Muller as the second forward has not reduced Bayern's threat in the middle!"

The first goal conceded came from Mandzukic's back pass and Muller's unmarked forward shot.

This was a defensive mistake by Manchester City. After he changed his defensive strategy, Muller began to pull out again and cooperated with the players on the wing to attack Manchester City's back line.

Bayern's full-backs are very capable of assisting, and the strength of their wingers is even more outrageous.

After Muller also joined in, Manchester City's wings were undoubtedly overwhelmed.

Gotze's second goal came from the wing!

Now they don’t know what to do!

It feels like strengthening the defense at any position will not help.

Pellegrini glanced at Bayern's coaching bench with some fear. All his decisions seemed to have been understood in advance by that man.

He felt this way the last time he was at the Etihad Stadium.

This time at the Allianz Arena, this feeling is even more obvious!

Pellegrini felt a little frustrated. Could he really not defeat this man?

Seeing that the coaching staff had not yet made adjustments, the players on the field couldn't wait any longer, so they gathered together and discussed.

"Anyway, we are already behind. Why don't we give it a try and attack!"

What's the point of staying in your own half to defend when you're already two goals behind?

To compete for first place in the group, you must attack and score goals!

"Okay, I don't want to defend anymore. I have long wanted to rush out and kill them!"

"That's right, so what if Bayern is stronger? It's not like we haven't won before!"

"We were able to reverse them last time, and we can do the same this time!"

The players talked to each other, and the morale was successfully mobilized.

Although they were two goals behind, there was no expression of frustration or panic on their faces, but only anger and dissatisfaction.

Obviously, Manchester City's players have not lost their fighting spirit, and are even a little irritated.

"Lin, which side to hit?"

As the core of Manchester City's frontcourt offense, the players all looked to Lin Quan, waiting for him to make a choice.

Lin Quan took a look and saw that Ribery was on the left side of Bayern and Gotze was on the right side.

He has played against both of them, and if he were to evaluate them, Gotze is obviously the softer of the two. He is not as strong as Ribery in terms of physical confrontation or game experience.

In this case, let's fight Gotze this time.

"David, let's fight like this..."

He discussed it with several players, and then all looked at Gotze.

Gotze felt some unkind eyes looking at him. When he looked up, he met the eyes of Lin Quan and several other Manchester City players.

Seeing the smile on the other side's lips, Gotze felt baffled.

You are two goals behind and you can still laugh?

If we want to laugh, we should laugh, right?

However, after the game restarted, Gotze couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he saw the core of Manchester City, and after dribbling the ball, he came directly to the goal and appeared in front of him.
Chapter completed!
