Chapter 422 Obsolete Bayern?
After all, it is outdated, including you!
Guardiola looked at Bayern's bench, and his eyes were still full of respect for the white-haired coach.

But today, he will re-examine his opponent with the attitude of a winner.

At the Nou Camp 6 years ago, he lost convincingly.

At that time, Bayern Munich, under the leadership of Heynckes, had a sharp offense and a solid defense.

What's even more rare is that each line of defense can maintain compactness and connection.

The current Bayern is still an excellent team, with a tacit understanding between the players and a balanced offense and defense.

But lacking a big killer on the side counter and a real B2B player, it is difficult for Heynckes to replicate the tactics he used when he won the Triple Crown.

What's more, in modern football, a set of tactics can be brilliant for two or three years at most, before being eliminated by opponents who study their weaknesses.

Therefore, in this game, Heynckes restarted the tactics of the year, in Guardiola's mind, it is an outdated thing.

Even Guardiola himself is seeking changes every season.

Including the current three-center back system, it is to use the player's through ball to instantly speed up and threaten the opponent's goal while pursuing a stable backcourt.

It is said that pass control is to use a high pass success rate to obtain a higher ball possession rate.

But in Guardiola's football philosophy, it is to make full use of the space on the pitch through the requirements of the player's position, and then continue to oppress the opponent to gain control of the game.

The so-called Tika-Taka, short-pass coordination, is just an accessory in this process.

The previous two goals were in line with his tactical thinking.

Stable ball control and efficient and concise counterattacks can be regarded as revenge for the year.

Heynckes, wearing a down coat, stood in the cold wind and directed the game.

Under the brim of the hat, there was a gritty look in his eyes.

After the kick-off, Bayern continued to attack.

Facing the blockade set up by Manchester City in the midfield, Hummels passed the ball from the backcourt, crossed the midfield line, and gave it directly to Lewandowski.

After the Polish center took control of the ball, he was immediately double-teamed by Manchester City.

Otamendi intervened close to him, forcing Lewandowski to turn around and split the ball.

Manchester City's defense also quickly covered the wing, with Kyle Walker marking Rossi.

During the Tottenham period, the two had played against each other. Walker was very afraid of Rossi's running position, and he would always find the goal in front of the goal to grab a chance.

The famous scene of "hat-trick" at White Hart Lane and Kane is still echoing in his mind.

After Rossi got the ball, he did not choose to break through or pull the side, but returned the ball to the midfielder.

[Very smart return! 】

[Bayern was very uncomfortable being oppressed by their opponents during this time! 】

[Finally able to get the ball out of the backcourt! 】

[But there are not enough teammates to participate in the attack! 】

[Pass back to the midfielder first, slowly find the rhythm! 】

Although Martinez's offensive ability in the midfield is not as good as before, their level of handling the ball is still world-class.

In addition, Leitona returned to the midfield to help out the ball, which relieved his pressure.

For Martinez, Guardiola is all too familiar.

It was he who transformed the Basque Lion from a defensive midfielder to a central defender.

In Guardiola's tactical framework, he likes players to do prescribed things in prescribed positions.

Putting Martinez in the central defender is to take advantage of his ability to play the ball.

With the influence of injuries and age, he is no longer competent to fight against fierce midfielders.

Heynckes put him here, nothing more than wanting to use his ball to sort out the organization of the backcourt.

But in this way, Bayern's offensive ability in the midfield is greatly reduced.

During the Triple Crown period, Bayern had three midfielders with both offense and defense in Martinez, Schweinsteiger and Kroos.

The trio can control the midfield very well.

What now?
Martinez's running ability is not as good as before, Vidal is a "hands-off midfielder" who can't go up and back, and there is no impact on the side, how can he play this?
Soon, Bayern's offense was unable to advance for a long time, and was forced back to halftime by Manchester City.

In the 18th minute, Manchester City used pressure again, intercepted the ball, and advanced quickly.

When Martinez chased back, he stretched out his hand and pulled Sterling directly to prevent the opponent's fast break, and he also received a yellow card.

David Silva takes the kick from the left side of the penalty area.

He didn't pass directly into the penalty area to let his teammates compete for the top.

Instead, after hitting teammates outside the penalty area, he advanced along the sideline.

B-Silva was outside the penalty area and passed the ball straight to Sterling in the penalty area.

The latter also directly passed the ball to Silva on the wing.

The continuous passing made Bayern's defense loose.

The little man Aguero leaped high in the middle and headed the goal.

Neuer straightened his left hand and lifted the ball over the bar.

Hey!
After a sigh came from behind the goal, it was the dissatisfaction and anger of the fans!
What kind of defense is this that actually allows Manchester City's four small players to act recklessly in the penalty area.

De Bruyne took a tactical corner kick and Manchester City continued to control the rhythm of the game.

During this period of time, fans can see with the naked eye that the Bundesliga giants are at a disadvantage.

The offense can't push it up, and the defense can't stop the opponent.

Manchester City frequently played in the backcourt, using through balls to tear through the defense and send them to the striker trio.

The three then used their speed or cooperated in pairs to complete the shot.

In the 20th minute, De Bruyne made a long shot from outside the penalty area.

This reflects from the side the relaxed mentality of the Manchester City players at this time.

Under such defensive pressure, the Bayern players began to be a little out of breath.

Captain Neuer held the ball in one hand, while keeping his teammates as calm as possible to stabilize the situation.

If it doesn't work, just pass the ball to yourself.

Heynckes was also on the sidelines, pointing to the opponent's half, indicating that the formation must press forward.

The reason is clear, but the players can't do it at all.

They have no way to break the opponent's midfield interception.

At this point, Rossi came to Leitona, let him drop back to a deeper position to get the ball, and moved towards the side.

In the 28th minute, David Silva tried to break through in the ribs and pulled the defense.

Letona and Martinez directly came to a close defense and intercepted the ball.

When the ball came to Hummels, he did not pass it forward in a hurry, but quickly pulled the side to attract B-Silva, and then passed it to Alaba.

B-Silva countered immediately, but Alaba turned around and passed back.

The ball returns to Hummels' feet.

A pass back that looks like a safety ball is full of details.

First of all, B-Silva, who was eager to counter-robbery, was exhausted and unable to take effective interference in the first place.

Then, Hummels can take advantage of this gap and calmly look up to observe the positions of his teammates.

After seeing Martinez coming, he passed the ball.

In this way, Bayern forms a small triangle pass area within a small range on the wing.

B-Silva can only be exhausted in this area.

Triangular coordination + one kick out of the ball, the Bayern players passed continuously in the backcourt, instantly tore apart the opponent's high pressure, and then the retreating Leitona sent the ball to the frontcourt.

Rossi ran quickly on the wing, throwing off the midfielder Fernandinho.

The smooth cooperation made the silent Allianz Arena boil again.

Kyle Walker approached quickly and saw that Rossi's ball was a bit too big, so he immediately fell to the ground and slid the tackle.

If you don't do this, it is entirely possible for Rossi to cross the goal.

The idea is correct, but he ignores Rossi's ability to handle the ball.

Seeing that the opponent was going to be one step faster, Rossi did not sprint to grab the ball with all his strength, but adjusted his body and moved in the direction of the opponent's clearance.

Although Walker tackled the ball first, the path of the ball was blocked by Rossi in advance.

After the ball hit Rossi's lower abdomen, it continued to return to his control.

【pretty! 】

[Walker did not shovel cleanly! 】

[Bayern's frontcourt opportunity! 】

【2v2! 】

After Rossi slowed down, he observed Otamendi's defensive posture.

He raised his right foot slightly, leaned his body to the right, and made a posture to push the ball to the right to break through.

After Otamendi quickly shifted his center of gravity, Rossi's right foot did not touch the ball, but landed quickly, using the inside to move the ball in one direction, kicking the ground with his left foot, and instantly throwing off the defense.

Otamendi had no time to adjust his body, and the only thing that could keep up with Rossi's change of direction was his surprised face.

This is... shoulder-heavy!
Guardiola off the field was also stunned.

At this moment, he seemed to see Messi.

Rosie, who was behind the defense, passed the ball to the feet of Lewandowski who was behind.

Gundogan slides from the side, trying to intercept the opponent's shot.

But Lewandowski didn't give him a chance. He had already distanced himself, put on a stance, and pushed directly.

Goalkeeper Morais fell to the ground to catch the ball, but Lewandowski pushed the shot from an extremely tricky angle. He only hated that his arm was not a meter longer, and watched the ball fly into the net in despair.

In the Allianz Arena, deafening cheers erupted immediately!
