Chapter 424 An Imperfect Victory

Heynckes' heart to learn is not old at all!
When looking at the opponent's bench again, Guardiola no longer had the contempt before.

In the 11-12 season, Bayern led by Heynckes lost to Dortmund in the yellow youth storm in domestic league and cup matches.

In the Champions League final, it was a pity to lose to Chelsea in the penalty shootout.

An embarrassing "Sanya King" was given to this old man.

Everyone thinks that he will not be able to keep his time in the late season. In the new season, Bayern has changed their decline, and the three lines have gone hand in hand to win the "Triple Crown" of the year.

From "Sanya King" to "Triple Crown", Heynckes has been studying tirelessly.

He does not have young coaches like Guardiola and Klopp, and has advanced football concepts.

But he can always absorb nutrients through continuous learning.

After being suppressed by Dort's youth storm, Heynckes was not defeated, but absorbed nutrients from the enemy.

In order to resist Dortmund's young impact, Heynckes spent 4000 million euros to introduce Martinez, aiming to strengthen the defensive ability of the midfielder.

Sure enough, in the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, ​​Martinez almost completely restricted Harvey's performance.

In the Champions League final, he was also the first to enter the state, withstood the impact of Dortmund's opening with a tough defense.

From here we can see Heynckes' unique vision.

After Lewandowski was injured and left the field, Heynckes ingeniously put Rossi in the center position, giving full play to his characteristics of grabbing points and advancing forward.

The dispatch of Ribery and Leitona is precisely to use the adduction of the two on the wing to help the midfielder complete the task of stealing and intercepting.

Although Bayern led 3:2, Manchester City still took the initiative with two away goals.

Guardiola kept applauding to motivate the players, making them more relaxed to fight.

At the same time, he called Mahrez to his side.

Judging from Manchester City's current personnel reserves, it seems a bit redundant to spend 6000 million pounds to introduce Mahrez this season.

But if Guardiola's tactical philosophy is positioned in the 3-2-2-3 formation, this is a very necessary reinforcement.

Because under this formation, Sterling's position will be a striker, not a winger.

Because Sterling is the player with the best penetration effect in the Manchester City team, he can maximize his characteristics in the middle.

Through any one of Sterling's partner Jesus or Aguero, it can have a good speed-up effect.

Therefore, the right wing needs to find a substitute.

It is not enough to rely on a B-Silva who did not perform very well last season, so Mahrez is needed to join.

In the 68th minute, Mahrez came off the bench and replaced captain David Silva.

After Manchester City deliberately strengthened instant acceleration and multiple offensive lateral support points, their offense became sharper.

In the 70th minute, Otamendi took the initiative to grab the ball, not only broke the ball, but also knocked Rossi to the ground from behind.

This is an obvious push from behind, but the referee didn't blow it.

The Allianz Arena suddenly erupted with huge boos.

Gundogan took the ball from the backcourt and accelerated, and many Manchester City attackers went hand in hand with him, making it difficult for Bayern players to take care of it.

Mahrez, who had just played, went straight into the penalty area after receiving a pass from his teammate from the wing.

Aguero is like a sharp knife. After piercing into the hinterland of Bayern's penalty area, he shot low and aimed at the near corner of the goal.

Neuer reacted quickly, quickly fell to the ground to catch the ball, blocked the near corner of the goal with both hands, and blocked the opponent's shot.

After defusing the crisis, Neuer quickly got up and roared loudly.

He was not angry at his teammates' defense, but angry at the referee's unfair law enforcement.

Heynckes immediately protested to the fourth official off the field, complaining of unfair treatment.

Afterwards, he quickly calmed down and called Thiago to his side.

Three minutes later, Bayern made a substitution.

Martinez was substituted.

After Thiago played, Bierda returned to the defensive midfielder position and took on more defensive interception tasks.

After Manchester City's sideline kick, what surprised Guardiola was that Bayern's defense actually maintained a high pressure.

Ribery and Leitona actively participated in the defense and quickly formed a 4-5-1 defensive system to counter the impact of Manchester City.

This is also the most obvious characteristic of Bayern under the coaching of Heynckes, using high positions to continuously exert pressure and reduce the counterattack distance after stealing the ball.

The premise is that Bayern must have two fast horses on the wing to attack the space behind the full-back.

Back then, under such tactics, Robery frequently smashed through the opponent's defense.

Is it another "old rice new fry"?
Guardiola did not dare to take it lightly this time, and hurriedly commanded from the sidelines.

He couldn't even understand what kind of tactics Heynckes would use now.

Bayern's high defense allowed the two sides to start a fierce battle for the ball in the midfield. The pace of the game also unknowingly accelerated, and the ball changed hands repeatedly.

Under such fierce fighting, the physical fitness of the players on both sides began to decline seriously.

In the 80th minute, Guardiola changed two people in a row.

Sane replaced Aguero and Zinchenko replaced De Bruyne.

Heynckes also replaced Leitona with Coman.

After Bayern changed their defensive strategy, it was difficult to play a quick counterattack.

The aging Ribery is more of an organizational support, while Leitona is not really a winger in the true sense.

Koeman's playing can give Bayern a real explosive point in the counterattack.

In the midfield where the two teams did not concede an inch, the fight between the two teams was very stalemate, which tested the fighting spirit and patience of the players.

Entering the 85th minute, Heynckes issued an order to return the ball to Neuer's feet, but the formation still maintained a high pressure state.

The attributes of Neuer's goalkeeper began to be brought into play.

In the 86th minute, Neuer pressed forward sharply and came to the corner of the penalty area to get the ball.

Faced with Sterling's press, the captain of Bayern calmly made a fake fax dunk and played hard in the backcourt.

Everyone panicked when one person took the ball!

Neuer exemplifies this well.

After teasing Sterling, he made a long pass to Thiago.

Bayern's two wingers started immediately.

"Hey, watch out for Coman!"

Guardiola loudly reminded the players off the court that they must be careful of the opponent's counterattack.

Koeman, who came off the bench, is no joke about his speed.

After Tiago looked up and observed, he did not hit directly to the left, allowing Koeman to compete with his opponent for speed.

Instead, it was assigned to the foot of Ribery, who had a better position and was not tight in defense.

The left back Zinchenko, who came off the bench, first glanced back at Rossi's position to determine the situation behind him.

When he turned his head to look at Ribery, he found that the opponent had passed the ball.

Otamendi was a central defender who didn't dare to offside, so he kept his eyes on Rossi from the very beginning.

When Franck Ribery passed the ball, Rossi ran back diagonally and quickly pulled out a body distance.

What's the situation, the game is almost over, why is his speed still so fast?
Otamendi looked surprised and chased back desperately.

Also surprised, and Guardiola.

He soon realized that he could count thousands of times, but he couldn't count against the old fox Heynckes.

Since the second half, after Bayern switched to high defense, Rossi has not accelerated the sprint once.

He kept walking and observing in the frontcourt to save energy.

It wasn't until Koeman came on the field and Bayern launched a counterattack from the backcourt that he exploded with an amazing fatal blow.

Otamendi's speed obviously couldn't catch up, and only Zinchenko, who came off the bench, was constantly reducing the distance.

But Rossi used the rhythm and constantly adjusted his position, always keeping Zinchenko behind him.

Seeing that Rossi was about to break into the penalty area, Zinchenko had to reach out and pull him to the ground.

drop!
After the referee ran to the scene of the incident, Zinchenko was sent off with a red card.

Guardiola was not blamed for sending off Zinchenko.

It is very worthwhile to exchange a red card for the opponent to score a goal.

Bayern also did not make good use of this set-piece opportunity to create a threat.

Subsequently, Manchester City began to retract their formation and strengthen their defense.

Bayern, who had fought the entire game, could not get a chance through positional warfare without high-point support.

After the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Bayern finally defeated Manchester City 3:2 and won the first round of the 1/8 final.

But Heynckes looked serious, because the team ended in a miserable victory.
