Mueller’s brace helps Bayern beat Valencia 4-1
Beijing: Star German forward Thomas Mueller scored twice in the first half to help Bayern Munich beat Valencia 4-1 in a football friendly at the Bird’s Nest Stadium here.
Mueller on Saturday scored the opener in the 16th minute as he collected the ball from captain Philipp Lahm and twisted his body to smash in a right-footer on the edge of the penalty area, reports Xinhua.
Ten minutes later, Valencia equalised through Rodrigo who nodded in a pass from close range.
Mueller put the German champions ahead again before the break after he cleverly dodged his markers and stroked home with his left foot.
Midfielder Thiago Alcantara poked in a low cross in the 54th minute to extend Bayern’s lead, and Polish striker Robert Lewandowski then sealed the win for the German club with a curling shot mid-way through the half.
After the win, Bayern will on Sunday fly to Shanghai where they will play Italian side Internazionale on Tuesday.
They will end their three-game China tour after playing with Chinese champions Guangzhou Evergrande next Thursday.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
