[football] walk side by side

"The formations put out by both sides are 4231. As we all know, this formation originally originated from Real Madrid. It achieved great success in the 2001/2002 season and was quickly used by the entire European football. However, in 2004, many adopted this formation. After the disastrous defeat of the strong team, few teams have gradually used this tactic. However, both sides in this game chose this formation, which is really surprising.”

"However, if you think about it carefully, the choice of the two sides does not seem difficult to understand. The lineups and standards of the two teams are actually very suitable for this formation. Bayern has proved with outstanding performances this season that they are fully capable of controlling this formation. Although Real Madrid didn’t use it much before, in terms of style and lineup, we have to admit that 4231 is tailor-made for Real Madrid.”

While the commentator was speaking, Bayern took the lead in attacking.

For a period of time at the beginning of the game, both sides appeared more cautious in attacking.But this does not mean that both sides are in the process of testing slowly - the test does exist, but these two teams that are also good at offense, even when they are testing, the tempo is quite fast!

Regardless of the frontcourt or the midfield, there is no shortage of fast players in the Real Madrid team. Sometimes in order to maximize the effectiveness of the offense, the opponent's defender has not yet fully returned to quickly increase the tempo. Fast offense is the best way to play. Law.

Bayern also pays attention to fast advancement, but it is different from the Spaniards who are used to advancing with the ball by a certain player, but pass the ball through the midfield, and seize the opportunity before the opponent's defense gathers!

In the 3rd minute of the game, Di Maria knocked the ball back and continued to run forward.Kroos immediately ran to Kaka who received the ball. As a frontcourt, defense is not his strong point, and Kroos didn't expect to be able to stop Kaka, as long as he can suppress the rhythm and speed of Real Madrid's attack.

Therefore, although Kroos rushed towards Kaka head-on, he didn't mean to grab the ball with his feet. He was more concerned with blocking Kaka's forward direction as much as possible and slowing down the opponent's soaring speed.

Kaka understood what he meant, so naturally he wouldn't do what he wanted.Mourinho has repeatedly emphasized before the game, don't be brought into Bayern's rhythm, pass the ball quickly after getting the ball, and don't slow down the rhythm of the game because of too much dribbling.Because of this, when facing Kroos' block at this moment, Kaka didn't have the slightest intention of one-on-one with him-he pushed the football to the side and continued to run forward.

At this moment, it was Cristiano who was receiving the ball next to him. After getting the ball, the latter quickly advanced along the wing, but then decisively chose to take the ball outside the penalty area. Di Maria, who took the ball again, aimed it at the fly The football that came was just a rubbing kick. The Bayern defender was confused by his shooting action and immediately blocked a certain shooting angle, but he didn't think that the rubbing kick was not a shot, but a real pass——

Higuain, who has always had a good sense of smell in front of the goal, accurately appeared where the football landed. Before the ball was stopped, the Argentine striker took the ball and directly bombarded the goal!

The opportunity and angle of this shot were well grasped, but it failed to pass Neuer's five fingers - the Bayern goalkeeper quickly took off and swooped, tightly controlling the football between his hands.

After Neuer got the football, he immediately threw the football to Lahm not far away. He glanced at the field in front of him. At this moment, the Real Madrid players did not return to the defense immediately because of the failure of this attack. Rhythm and order, but in general, the defense on the back line is indeed not complete... Thinking of this, the Bayern full-back directly kicked a big kick in the backcourt, and the football quickly flew from Bayern's backcourt to the center of the field. Middle circle!

After sending this quick pass, Lahm didn't intend to stay put and continue to defend—he directly inserted from the side and started to press forward!

This pass is actually a bit risky, because in the middle circle at this moment, in addition to the Bayern players who are preparing to attack, there are also some Real Madrid players who are returning to defense or preparing to defend.But this pass is also effective-Bayern has always had an advantage in grabbing the ball, and Lahm's long pass is not bad, so naturally there is no reason to send it to Real Madrid.Di Maria failed to grab the point with Ribery, and could only watch Bayern's front belt quickly go away with the ball.

As Mourinho said, Bayern Munich has a fast pace when attacking!very fast!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the late-blooming Frenchman crossed the center circle at a very fast speed. When he passed the Real Madrid midfielder, he broke through Alonso's left side by cooperating with Robben's wall bump. , Push towards the restricted area!

Of course, Cyril immediately turned his head back to defend, but when he ran back, he also kept an eye on it.

4231 has high requirements for full-backs, because in such a formation, the defenders belonging to both sides need defenders who can attack and defend, retreat to defend, and can shoot.

Because of this, Cyril noticed Ram as soon as he came up.When the two teams on the field are at a stalemate in offense and defense, increasing the number of people participating in the frontcourt offense is the simplest and most effective way. Ram's forward pressure may not be useful, but in the Real Madrid defender In the case that a complete defensive position has not been fully formed, it is bound to be a big threat.

After Robben handed the ball to Ribery, he made a retreat to respond. The latter made a pass without stopping the ball before Marcelo pounced on him. Ram who followed him immediately kicked up——

Before he exerted his strength, he could feel a distinct squeeze around him.Ramos didn't dare to tackle the ball at this time, because once he stepped down, Rams would probably turn the chance of shooting into a penalty kick, but he managed to influence the opponent in the moment he blocked Ramos. Cyril, who came from the right, poked the football out and kicked it back to the side.

And this is just a microcosm of the first half of the game.

Both sides played in a stalemate throughout the first half of the game.There is no shortage of outstanding players on both sides, and they are also on par in defense and offense. Real Madrid's offense is slightly stronger than Bayern, but Bayern's defense is also slightly stronger than Real Madrid.

Cyril has been observing the situation in the backcourt, and is constantly launching attacks according to different scenarios.As a defensive midfielder, he doesn't need to worry about being marked at all, and Bayern will not easily raise their defensive line to the Real Madrid midfielder. In this way, although Real Madrid failed to score immediately in terms of offense, they did not need to worry about being marked. Opportunities are endless.

And Bayern, in terms of defense, are also very organized.

In general, Bayern's defensive efforts were concentrated in the midfield to the greatest extent.The defense in the frontcourt is mainly to slow down Real Madrid's speed and create more time for the midfield players to defend.The intensity of the player's pressing is also the most intense in the midfield.When it comes to the final defense line, it plays more of a remedial role.

In terms of stealing and tackling, Bayern's success rate is also higher than that of Real Madrid.The success rate of grabbing the ball is as high as 73.60%, and the tackle is slightly worse, but it has reached the level of 65.22%.

The first half of the game ended in a goalless draw between the two sides.

It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle announcing the end of the first half that the fans in the stands breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting about the game.

Although the score was 0-0 at this moment, the whole first half of the game was very intense.Although the battle situation was stalemate, the two sides still insisted on attacking. Although there were no goals in the first half, the offense and defense were extremely thrilling. The offenses on both sides continued to flow. Some shots came close to the penalty area, skimmed the post or landed in the arms of the two goalkeepers as the horrified fans watched.

For the Real Madrid fans who came from afar, it may be inevitable to be a little disappointed in the face of this situation.It has to be said that after the excellent national derby, many fans raised Real Madrid to the height of the dream three.But in fact, the reason why Real Madrid was able to win Barcelona 5-0 at that time, in addition to the ebb and flow, the psychological factors of the Barcelona players after conceding consecutive goals, is also a very important part.

But in this game against Bayern, it is very difficult to do that.

First, the Bundesliga teams are good at defense, Bayern's strength has also approached its peak in recent years, and the Germans have always been tenacious.Secondly, and most importantly-for both sides, they lack a goal to break the current situation.

Sometimes, it may be that there is a lack of a goal, which makes the whole game go smoothly, but unfortunately, in today's game, the moment the two sides expected to break the balance never came.

It definitely won't go on like this.

Cyril is well aware of this, but he is far calmer than Bayern.After all, this is the Allianz Stadium. For Real Madrid, even if the final score of this game is 0-0, it is an acceptable ending. Handy.

But Bayern is different.

This is their home court. If they fail to score a goal in this game, they will definitely be more passive when they visit the Bernabeu in the next round. If this continues, it will only be detrimental to Bayern's advancement to the final.

How to do?

While Bayern coach Heynckes was thinking about solutions, Cyril was also thinking about more effective options and ways of attacking based on his own observations and the details he had learned.

Naturally, his first thought was the Bayern midfielder.

Also as an organizational midfielder, Schweinsteiger has quite good passing and long-range shooting abilities, but it has to be said that the German midfielder's advance speed in counterattacks is too slow, and his vision Although his vision of the overall situation can make up for his gap in this area to a certain extent, this is after all based on the fact that the opponent's vision and outlook on the overall situation are not as good as his.

Over the past few years, with the continuous innovation and changes in European football tactics, more and more teams have chosen to delay the organization and put the core of the organization in the position of the midfielder to prevent one-on-one marking by the opponent , causing no organization center to be frozen, unable to launch an attack smoothly.

In other words, although Cyril and Schweinsteiger are facing each other, unless the latter pushes forward, Cyril has almost no chance of meeting him.

In other words, for Cyril, if he wants to block Bayern's attack and create opportunities for Real Madrid in the counterattack, then it may be a good choice to take advantage of this.
