333、Crush them!
A fierce victory can certainly boost morale, but what makes Bayern even more excited is that... Dortmund, the league's biggest competitor, was tied by the newly promoted Augsburg.
Just like Bayern's previous game, although the Hornets had the advantage in this game, they never could bite a piece of meat from their opponents and could only accept the fate of a draw. The fierce momentum of seven consecutive victories since the winter break came to an abrupt end, and the score leading Bayern was reduced from the previous 5 points to 3 points.
Compared to the 5-point gap, 3 points seem to make people feel that it is not that far away. With just one game, it is possible to complete a comeback. With 9 rounds in the league, Bayern still has hope of a reversal - not to mention that there is still a direct dialogue between the two teams.
The advantage of 3 points is indeed very unsafe, so Dortmund fans transformed into Bayern fans on the evening of March 13. They even wished Bayern Munich a high-profile victory over Basel, advance to the quarterfinals, and best to enter the finals...
Because Dortmund was eliminated early in the group stage, they could concentrate on the league without European combat tasks. If Bayern fought on two fronts, they would undoubtedly distract their attention and weaken their physical fitness. After all, everyone knows that Bayern has very weak reserves in central defenders. Van Biden has not recovered yet, and Contento is useless. It is difficult for them to support their two fronts with only Bad and Boateng.
The further Bayern goes in the Champions League, the less they can concentrate their energy in the league, and the smoother Dortmund's road to defending the title will be.
Even though they knew that the Champions League was a thorny rose, Bayern would never give up, because only by winning the Champions League can they truly stand up and claim to be back to the top.
Under such circumstances, Bayern soldiers prepared for two days and welcomed challengers from Switzerland.
-
On the evening of March 13th.
The Allianz Arena is full, with a total of about twice as many as Basel's home 35,000 people.
This stadium will never seem deserted. On the one hand, it is because Bayern does have many fans and has extremely strong appeal. On the other hand, it is also because the ticket price is very cheap. For club members, the minimum home package tickets for a season are only 120 euros. In 17 games, one game is only 7 euros, and the tickets are more expensive, but only 20-40 euros per game. For Germans with an average monthly income of 3,000 euros, it does not seem extravagant, not to mention that the city of Munich is a gathering area of Germany's wealthy people...
In the locker room, Bayern is making final preparations.
"A reporter interviewed me an hour ago and asked me if I had ever thought about whether I would quit if I lost to Basel again? I almost laughed out loud..."
Heinx told the team members a story with a relaxed look:
"Does anyone like this Mr. Journalist want to ask this question?"
The players all smiled and shook their heads.
"Very good, you finally haven't forgotten which club you represent," Heinx expressed satisfaction with the players' mentality. "Although the question just now was a joke, it might not be a lie. If all the main players played, we can't even defeat Basel, both me and you will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole world."
"This kind of thing will never happen."
As the captain of the team, Ram responded in a deep voice to the head coach.
Heinx nodded:
"Go up! Crush them!"

Basel is one of the most successful clubs in Switzerland, especially after entering the 21st century, they have almost formed a monopoly on the league championship and have almost locked in the league championship this season, so they can focus all their energy on the Champions League.
In the group stage of this season, they were a dark horse, strongly eliminating last season's Champions League runner-up Manchester United, making Sir Ferguson and his Red Devils unable to raise their heads in front of European giants. Now they meet Bayern.
With Manchester United capsized, Bayern's entire team did not dare to be careless, but the Bundesliga overlord still fell in Switzerland and was defeated by the host with one goal, which shattered football experts and fans across Europe.
If Basel finally eliminates Bayern, Manchester United fans will definitely be very happy, but Heinx will never want them to be happy.
There are not many powerful stars in this Basel lineup. Their biggest player is Shaqiri, known as "Swiss Messi". This small frontcourt player attracted Bayern's senior management with his performance in two rounds of games, thus joining Bayern after the season.
In addition to Shaqiri, there is another Swiss Hope Star, midfielder Zachar - who will join Arsenal in the future.
And South Korean international, left-back Park Joo-ho.
However, the Korean and the Chinese captain have no intersection. His opponent is the Dutch thigh that is gradually recovering in form - Alger Robben.
As the game started, Robben proved something to Park Joo-ho: it was too difficult for Park Joo-ho to defend his breakthrough!
Especially after Robben started to cooperate with his teammates!
Just 13 seconds into the game, Long Shute pushed a straight pass to the right, Robben started at high speed and got rid of it, and directly threw away Park Joo-ho and broke into the penalty area!
Gomez was waiting for the reception in front of the goal, but Robben still habitually forgot the team cooperation at the last moment. He shot directly at the very small angle, but was thrown by the opponent's goalkeeper...
"Hey! Alger!"
Gomez couldn't help but complain, and then something surprised him happened.
Robben actually raised his hand and smiled embarrassedly at him:
"I'm sorry, Mario, I didn't pay attention to your running position..."
Gomez was stunned, and even Basel goalkeeper pushed him away.
He only knew that there was a numb feeling in his body running around!
It seems like it was electrocuted!
That Dutch is the only one who is unhappy, the big cancer that even Ribery, Ram and Muller can be cured... He actually apologized to me?!
-
Gomez, who was restless, missed a single shot later. Ribery, who gave him the pass, couldn't help but curse when he saw the assist data he had obtained.
Robben doesn't pass the ball to you, you have to complain. Now I pass the ball to you, but you hit the plane... How can we play happily?!
Then Ribery heard Gomez's apology:
"Sorry, Frank, you passed the ball to me just now, and I felt so happy that I was distracted..."
Ribery, who had goose bumps all over her body, could only roll her eyes.
-
Although he didn't know what Gomez was doing, Long Shute could see that the forward's mental state was very unstable, so he decided to give up cooperating with Gomez for the time being, instead notify his teammates around him and try his best to cover himself.
Compared to Gomez, a traitor, Long Shute's stability was obviously unanimously recognized by his teammates, and even Robben and Ribery began to pass the ball to the middle.
The starting lineup of this game is almost exactly the same as in the last league. The only change is that Kroos replaced Muller and partnered with Gustavo in the middle. Long Shute's position was mentioned behind Gomez, which was almost parallel to the Robery duo, forming the most terrifying offensive trident of this era!
I don’t know what Basel is thinking. They not only did not disassemble the iron barrel formation away from home, but instead tentatively launched an attack on Bayern’s position after the game began...
"Swiss Messi" Shachilli tried to perform his excellent dribbling skills in front of Ram, but Captain Bayern did not give him any face. He directly stretched out his foot and broke the football, then took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, hanging the ball directly to the empty right of the defense.
Robben once again broke through Park Joo-ho's defense and caught up with the ball and went down the bottom easily. When he was crossing or cutting in the shot, he unexpectedly chose to pass the ball behind him...
Gomez took Basel's central defender and then ran away. Long Shute, who was inserted, completed the encirclement at the penalty spot. He only needed a arch to push the ball, and the football rushed into Basel's goal with the turf!
Only less than ten meters away, goalkeeper Zomo had no response!
Chapter completed!
