I Want to Be the King of Football

If it is said that in the first 20 minutes or so of the game, Bayern and Barcelona both threw off their arms and wanted to do something big, then after each side scored a goal, they both calmed and sobered each other up.

Bayern is not a soft persimmon for anyone to handle, and Barcelona's passing and control of the ball and penetration are equally unavoidable.

Even if it is as strong as Bayern, in the face of Barcelona, ​​who has the ball, more can only take a defensive stance.

Bayern's body has the advantage, whether it is height or strength, so the set piece is also a very important scoring weapon.

But Mourinho also obviously strengthened the defense in this regard. Bayern failed to take advantage of several free kicks and corner kicks in the first half. Sudong, Lucio and Pepe were all facing strict marking. .

In the end, the two sides shook hands one-to-one in the first half and entered halftime.

…………

…………

From the lead by one goal to being equalized by the opponent, it was only two minutes apart.

It has to be said that the blow to Bayern is still quite big.

Heynckes was satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, but there were serious problems.

According to Bayern’s pre-match plan, the team should start pressing the opponent from the forward line, and prevent the opponent from passing the ball into the midfield.

This plan looks beautiful. With Bayern's tactical discipline, it is not difficult to implement it, but when it comes to implementation in the game, there are still some deviations.

Many of Mourinho's tactics are to directly pass long balls to Ibrahimovic. This has led to Bayern's pressing and pressing from a high position, and they are forced to quickly set up to organize defenses. The pressing and pressing in the frontcourt is basically the same. Gone.

Although Barcelona's long pass turnover rate is very high, Ibrahimovic has not been able to take too much advantage in front of Lucio and Pepe, but Barcelona's frontcourt pressing ability is very strong, and the midfield has the ability to control the ball. Superior, which allows them to form a frontcourt pressing for the first time after the long pass fails.

In fact, Barcelona is pressing up as a whole, while Bayern is shrinking as a whole.

Especially after the one-to-one match, Barcelona began to invest in the frontcourt, which made Bayern's situation more passive. The ball possession rate was only 30%, and Barcelona could be said to have an overwhelming upper hand.

This was originally a situation in Bayern's favor, because Bayern could fight back.

but,

Barcelona invested a lot of troops in the counter-attack after losing the ball. The key is Bayern's two flanks. Ribery and Robben did not perform well under the impact of Alves and Maxwell.

Alves was very active. In several forward attacks, Ribery was forced to retreat deeply, but there were still several embarrassing scenes, and Robben was not much better. Maxwell Although Ernest is not as sharp as Alves, Maxwell is the key to Barcelona's goal two minutes after conceding the ball.

In that goal, Robben was absent.

Maxwell and Iniesta can penetrate Ram's side because Robben did not perform the task of following Maxwell.

After the one-to-one match, both Ribery and Robben began to pay attention to the defense of the full-backs. After they became reliable, Bayern's offense was also curbed, especially on the wing.

In the first half, Ribery and Robben had 14 attempts to dribble the ball and only succeeded twice, but they failed to create a threat.

The winger was absent, Su Dong was closely guarded by Barcelona after scoring the goal, and Bayern's offense was naturally lackluster.

The offense isn't great, but the defense is pretty well organized.

Especially after the one-to-one match, Barcelona had more control of the ball, but they still failed to create a threatening offensive, and it was difficult to dominate the game even in terms of rhythm. Instead, it was very depressed by Bayern.

They want to be slow, and Bayern grabs a wave at a fast pace, which makes Barcelona play very awkward.

During the halftime break, Heynckes mainly praised the team's performance in the overall defensive formation.

Throughout the first half, especially after the one-to-one draw, Bayern put a lot of energy into maintaining the overall formation, keeping the team's three lines compact and orderly, and not giving Barcelona players too much space for the ball.

It can be said that in this regard, Bayern has done a very good job.

We must maintain this focus in the second half, continue to curb Barcelona's passing organization and penetration, stabilize the defense, and actively fight back, focusing on attacking Barcelona's two wings.

On the tactical board, Heynckes drew two circles on the flanks behind the Barcelona line of defense, reminding the players to hit these two areas when counterattacking.

Both Ribery and Robben have to retreat properly, follow Alves and Maxwell, and the frontcourt is the contact point of Su Dong.

Heynckes hopes that Su Dong will be able to pull more to the wing when counterattacking.

They built a steel cage for you in the middle, and after you get the ball, you can easily get caught in a circle, so I think you should expand your range of activities, especially to the flanks.

This is not only Su Dong, but Messi as well. In this game, he is the one behind Ibrahimovic in the 4411. He has a wide range of activities and is very free.

This change of Heynckes is actually liberating the Soviet Union.

Su Dong in the frontcourt was free, and players such as Ribery and Robben inserted in the back, naturally they were running with Su Dong.

This is actually to further establish the tactical core position of Sudong.

Understood! Su Dong nodded and agreed, If possible, pass on the right side more.

Heynckes and everyone were stunned, Why?

Everyone in the locker room was confused.

Isn't it?

Left and right, what's the difference?

Su Dong pointed at Puyol on the tactical board and smiled slightly: This guy has short legs!

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

The reason is absolutely perfect!

But after thinking about it carefully, Su Dong's words are not unreasonable.

Mourinho is a manager who pays great attention to detail. To what extent is it meticulous?

In the combination of two central defenders, Puyol and Pique, the left and right positions of the two actually change frequently, and it is more a matter of authority. For example, Pique is more reckless. He is responsible for grabbing, while Puyol is responsible for delaying and assisting defense. bit.

It's actually quite interesting, because Puyol used to be a rushing central defender, but now it's his turn to wipe Pique's ass behind, and he's actually quite stable.

But tonight Puyol is on the left, which is obviously not aimless, but because Puyol's recovery speed is faster, defending Robben on the right side of Bayern, especially Robben's inward cut, Puyol is Right foot, just blocked Robben inward cut.

So the question is, Pique is also right-footed, and Ribery on the left side of Bayern is also good at cutting inside. What should I do?

Although Yaya Toure was delayed in midfield in this game, he actually often returned to a position almost equal to that of the central defender.

This is just a little bit of careful thought in the formation of troops, but in terms of habitual feet, it is indeed beneficial to contain the opponent.

And Su Dong said the same thing.

He is tall and has long legs. If Puyol cuts inward, Puyol has short legs, making it difficult to completely block Su Dong's shooting angle.

Of course, this is only a theory, it is not so easy to practice.

…………

…………

After the intermission, the players of both teams left the locker room.

In the player tunnel, Su Dong met the Barcelona players and felt that everyone's expressions were very serious.

Before the game, they would take the initiative to say hello to Su Dong, chatting and laughing with each other, but now they seem to be mortal enemies.

It has to be said that at this time it was really a bit of a deadly atmosphere.

What's the matter? What did you guys go through during halftime? Su Dong jokingly walked up to Messi and Iniesta and asked with a smile.

He is full of confidence in the second half, and naturally he will not be too worried.

Messi looked at the front and back, and whispered to Su Dong: Don't laugh, our friendship boat has capsized.

Ah? Su Dong was taken aback.

Can the boat of friendship be overturned?

The madman in our family said that we are too polite to you, especially to you. Iniesta stabbed again.

Su Dong couldn't listen anymore.

We have to speak with conscience. Come on, come and see, who kicked this foot?

Su Dong pointed to the red scratch on the outside of his right calf, and there were blood beads.

Iniesta was immediately embarrassed, I was really in a hurry at the time, who knew you wouldn't stop your legs?

Fart, the ball is at my feet, I'm closing my legs? Why don't you just let me pass the ball to you?

This time not only Messi and Iniesta were amused, but even Puyol and Xavi couldn't help laughing.

You laugh, Kars, you did a lot of tricks on me in the first half, I remember them all. Su Dong complained.

Puyol smiled and waved his hands again and again, Okay, just let the horses come over!

…………

…………

The game restarted in the second half.

Barcelona continued the ball possession advantage in the first half and suppressed Bayern from the very beginning.

Bayern continued the stable defense in the first half and continued to organize the defense line steadily.

Bayern's traditional advantage is discipline. The players' tactical execution is very high, and the overall defense is well organized. Even Ribery and Robben are actively withdrawing and defending Alves and Maxwell.

The space in the frontcourt was basically reserved for Su Dong.

Bayern's ball possession rate has always remained at around 30%, and Barcelona was in possession of the ball most of the time.

Su Dong ran actively and participated in the pressing of Barcelona's defense and Yaya Toure's position. As long as Bayern steals the ball, he will immediately run towards the nearest wing.

Barcelona also took precautions against this, after all, Bayern also played this way in the first half.

Su Dong patiently looked for opportunities.

When the game went to the 53rd minute, after Bayern stole the ball in the backcourt, it moved to the left and handed it to Marcelo.

Marcelo stopped the ball forward and instigated a counterattack.

After passing the ball over the center line, he was intercepted by Alves. Marcelo smashed the ball and walked to the center line. He glanced ahead. Ribery and Schweinsteiger were fast forward, but they were surrounded by Barcelona. player.

What about Su Dong?

Marcelo didn't find Su Dong in the front or in the middle. He glanced at the right side in the distance, and sure enough, he saw the familiar red figure.

Su Dong ran to the neutral position and was raising his hand for the ball.

Marcelo made a decisive decision and sent an oblique long pass with his left foot to transfer.
