Chapter 289 Eat, Sleep, and Beat Bayern

At the beginning of the season, Borussia won the place to participate in the Champions League group match through the Champions League play-offs.

In the group stage, they were in the same group as Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​and they were eliminated early and early.

But they still managed to break into the Europa League with the No.3 result in the group and qualified for the group.

After defeating Fiorentina in two legs, Borussia will meet Schalke 04, a powerhouse in the domestic league.

The two teams launched a fierce offensive battle, and finally drew 3:3.

Borussia was eliminated because of few away goals.

Although he achieved a good record in the European war, the third-line battle made the players extremely tired.

Especially after the Europa League game against Schalke 04 in midweek, they faced Bayern three days later, which made the media not optimistic about their prospects for this game.

But Borussia's players were extremely excited.

Can anything be more exciting than beating Bayern?

Have!
That's stopping their 27-game winning streak.

This is enough to last a lifetime!

Rossi, who got a rest, appeared in Bayern's starting lineup, partnering with Lewandowski in the striker.

Behind them, the two wings formed by Robery flew together.

The double midfielder is Alonso and Thiago, one defends and the other organizes offense.

The defense remains intact, Alaba, Hummels, Martinez and Ram.

Goalkeeper Neuer.

It can be seen from An Pang's starting lineup that this lineup has the shadow of Bayern's triple crown.

Borussia, which is playing at home, is far inferior to Bayern in terms of player value and reputation.

But football has always been a team sport.

In the Bundesliga, which advocates offense, the offensive intensity is even higher than that of the Premier League, which also leads to the defensive intensity not keeping up.

Even two evenly matched teams can play a game with a big score.

The strict execution of tactics and teamwork are important factors for gaining a foothold in the Bundesliga.

This season's Borussia has a good blend of teamwork and tough style.

The team's leading man, Thorgan Hazard, the younger brother of Chelsea winger Eden Hazard, sat on the bench.

Although not as famous as his elder brother, in the Bundesliga, his dribbling is excellent and he is an indispensable weapon for the team.

He will be an important tactical change for Borussia in the game.

Under the leadership of the referee Stiller, players from both sides stepped onto the lawn of the Prussian Park Stadium.

The stadium can accommodate 54057 spectators, and the fans resounded over the stadium with shouts like a tsunami.

In the Bundesliga, standing tickets are more popular with fans than sitting tickets.

In addition to being cheap, it allows fans to interact and celebrate without restrictions.

The home fans created a deafening home atmosphere before the game even started.

"Let me see, it was Bayern who did the miracle."

"It was Borussia Borussia who won by surprise."

In the player era, Heynckes, who represented Borussia Borussia in 283 official matches, scored 195 goals, won four Bundesliga titles and one FA Cup title, is undoubtedly the star of the team.

After becoming a coach, he coached Bayern three times, making him one of Bayern's best head coaches.

For the contest between two teams with deep roots with him, Heynckes is entangled in his heart.

After a long whistle, Bayern kicked off the ball, and after Rossi passed the ball back to his teammate, Borussia's frontcourt players immediately rushed up wildly.

After Chuankong gradually withdrew from the mainstream position, high-position pressing gradually became popular.

The reason for its success is that it does not require the team to have players with super high passing skills, nor does it require tacit and full teamwork.

It is only necessary for the players to run actively, improve the overall space coverage and in-position rate, and effectively control the space.

This is a low-threshold and cost-effective tactic, which allows mid-to-lower teams to have the possibility of wrestling with strong teams.

Mourinho, Klopp, and Simeone are just the best of them.

During Guardiola's time at Barcelona, ​​although he focused on pass control.

But everything is also based on high-intensity high-position pressing to achieve offensive and defensive transformation.

Borussia Borussia's high-position press, although many details of the design and tactical changes are missing.

But as long as you use your personal ability to attack or pass through after stealing, the effect is enough for any opponent to drink a pot.

Bayern, who had been prepared for a long time, after the opponent started to press, the two full-backs stepped up and the central defender opened up.

To do so is to expand the passing space as much as possible.

Because goalkeeper Neuer also has the ability to play the ball from the backcourt.

Coupled with Alonso's recovery and response, Bayern's diamond-shaped passing space in the backcourt can effectively break the opponent's press.

Although retired at home, as a famous coach, Heynckes has also dabbled in the renewal and reform of football.

During his coaching of Bayern, although the players were not required to press high, the strangling of the midfield was extremely intense.

Once a steal is formed, Schweinsteiger's quick transfer will give the combination of Robery to the wing, allowing them to gallop as much as they want.

Back to the game, after the opening, Bayern's pass cooperation in the backcourt made Borussia's press ineffective.

But in the same way, the forward pass was also restricted by Borussia.

The reason is that Borussia dared to hoard troops in the midfield, limiting Alonso's forward pass and Thiago's turn.

These two were the metronome and initiator of Bayern's attack.

As long as the two are frozen, Bayern's offense will naturally not come out.

Another very important point is that once the steals are completed against the two, Borussia's offense can face Bayern's defense directly.

The greater the risk, the higher the reward.

Relying on their abundant physical fitness at the beginning, Borussia made a bold attack and overwhelmed Bayern.

Heynckes also applauded Gladbach's courage.

Dare to launch a confrontation in the Bundesliga overlord, this courage can be admired.

But the most important point is that the combination of Robery, who is not at the peak, has weakened the threat to the defense line, which is the reason why Borussia dared to press forward.

There is no threatening attack, but the fierce competition between the two sides in the midfield has attracted endless shouts from the fans.

This is what a derby should be like.

Although Borussia does not have the strength on paper of Derby, they have a determination to beat Bayern.

In the first 15 minutes, under Borussia Borussia's constant pressure and pressure, Bayern's defense began to show a little movement.

No matter how good the team is, once it is pressed by the opponent to play in the penalty area, there will be some problems in mentality.

Especially Alonso.

Being forced by the opponent all the time is bound to speed up the consumption of physical energy.

As early as the beginning of the season, Ancelotti determined that the former Spanish midfielder could only play a world-class performance for half an hour.

Arranging him to start is also to use his passing and experience to help the team stabilize the situation.

But judging from the course of the game, the opponent seems to have targeted Alonso long ago, adopting blocking and oppressive tactics, trying to find opportunities on him.

In order to relieve the pressure on Dan's midfielder, An Pang asked captain Lahm to respond and share the defensive pressure.

But as soon as Ram approached the center, Borussia's winger slowly approached the side, threatening to open the side at any time.

Rossi didn't have a chance up front and was forced back into the midfield to get involved in the defense.

Hei Jin, Borussia's head coach, suddenly smiled.

For Rossi's research, he has worked hard.

In fact, the entire high-position press is a tactic customized for Rossi.

As long as Rossi is forced to return to the midfield and participate in the defense, greatly weakening his offensive ability, Bayern's counterattack is nothing to fear.

More importantly, Borussia completely cut off Bayern's midfield.

Despite having a striker combination of Lewandowski and Robery, the ball cannot be passed, and all luxurious strikers are just decorations.

Borussia Borussia played a set of combo punches at home, overwhelming Bayern.

If it really obeyed the words of the fans before the game, in Borussia's eyes, there are only two opponents, one is Bayern and the other is called other teams.

The task of the season is to eat, sleep and play Bayern.
