Chapter 445 No points for gaining power, Rossi is restricted

[Bayern scores from the right! 】

[Rossi faced Umtiti's defense! 】

[Shaking a bit, walking towards the bottom line! 】

[Didn't move over, hit back teammates! 】

[Kimmich passes to the door! 】

[Lewan! ! ! ! 】

Hey!
Following the exclamation behind the goal, Lewand put his head in his hands in annoyance, with a look of unwillingness.

The score fell behind, Bayern aggressively pressed up, frequently looking for opportunities on the wing.

But neither Lewandowski's header nor Muller's shot from outside the penalty area could threaten the goal guarded by "Little Lion" Ter Stegen.

To be more blunt, every shot by Bayern is not an excellent opportunity.

It was a forced shot of helplessness.

It is too simple for Barcelona to defend against this single offense.

A few minutes later, the ball split again and Rossi appeared on the left side of the penalty area.

Facing Pique's defense, Rossi faked a fax dunk, "Cruyff turned around" chicly, and broke through to the bottom line.

But Pique turned around not slow at all, fell to the ground to tackle the ball when chasing back, and even dribbled the ball and fell in the penalty area.

The referee did not blow the whistle, but waved his palm upwards, signaling Rossi to get up.

No fouls, and no penalties.

Amid the huge boos at the Nou Camp, Rossi stood up and ran back to the half-court defense.

[Rosie's performance today is a bit unsatisfactory! 】

[Several breakthroughs on the sidewalk were unsuccessful! 】

[And after he lost the ball, his teammates' counterattack was not timely enough, and he was easily pushed past halftime by Barcelona! 】

[Bayern is a bit difficult! 】

Heynckes stood motionless on the sidelines, watching what was happening on the pitch.

Barcelona used the two central midfielders to run back and forth in the ribs, combined the defense line into a whole, and successfully blocked Rossi's attack.

And let Rossi pull side singles, but also frequently intercepted by the opponent's central defender, unable to pose a threat.

Valverde is indeed a master tactician.

When the frontcourt offense was not smooth, Heynckes asked Martinez to move up to the position of the midfielder, forming a double midfielder with Vidal.

Hama is in the midfielder position, which can not only liberate Vidal's forward offensive ability, but also pass exquisite long passes from the backcourt.

Under his activeness, the Bayern midfielder gradually regained its advantage.

But Valverde will not let the opponent easily grasp the rhythm of the game, he immediately let Dembele oppress Hama.

With Dembele's small body, it is impossible to steal the ball at the feet of Hama.

All he has to do is to interfere with Hama's shots.

Every time Hama took the ball, he was harassed by Dembele. Since the opponent was more flexible and faster than himself, he had to pass back to the goalkeeper just to be on the safe side.

After Suarez saw the return pass, he immediately pressed forward and forced the opponent to hand over the ball.

When the ball was very passive in the backcourt, Lewandowski retreated to the center circle, providing a ball point that the defender could choose.

Three minutes later, under the pull of Pique, Lewandowski stopped the ball and knocked back.

Thiago's arch went straight and penetrated the defense in the middle.

Rossi started from the left rib and used an arc to move diagonally into the penalty area from the outside.

Fortunately, Umtiti observed Rossi's position in advance, and quickly chased back, fell to the ground and shoveled the ball out of the baseline to defuse the opponent's attack.

When the fans encouraged him to defend this perfect defense with applause, Umtiti did not show a hint of complacency, but was more cautious.

As a central defender, what he is afraid of is not the speed and breakthrough of the opponent's striker, or the shooting.

It's the unpredictable forward movement.

At the moment when Lewandowski returned to his teammate, if Umtiti hadn't turned around to determine Rossi's position, the through ball just now would have appeared at Rossi's feet.

Scenes like this will appear in subsequent games.

As long as the central defender is not paying attention, Rossi will catch the gap and make a sneak attack.

You can guard once or twice, but not the entire game.

There will always be times when people are negligent.

As long as this kind of negligence occurs once, the result is to hold your head in regret and watch your opponent score.

Bayern corner kick, Thiago passes the ball to the center.

Lewandowski and Umtiti jumped at the same time, and neither hit the ball.

The defensive midfielder Vidal went straight to the ball from outside the penalty area, but it was a pity that the ball was headed high.

These are one of the few opportunities for Bayern, and none of them can be converted into goals.

The exchange of tricks between the two coaches gradually evolved into a fierce midfield competition.

Barcelona changed to 4-4-2, with Suarez and Messi at the top, stuck between the defense and the midfielder, limiting the ball from the backcourt.

This is to hope that Roberto and Rakitic can limit Bayern's two forwards in a deeper position.

This kind of closely connected defense can cut off the connection between Bayern teams and make them very uncomfortable when passing the ball.

Bayern responded by raising the two full-backs and retracting the two full-backs to establish a numerical advantage in the midfield.

When Barça press too close to the center, the wing-backs have space to receive the ball.

In order to make good use of this space, Heynckes chose Koeman, who is faster, as the explosive point on the side.

In the 15th minute, Martinez was in the backcourt, seized a gap where the opponent's forward was not pressing tightly, and distributed the ball to the foot of Alaba on the wing.

Rakitic, who was not in the defensive position, immediately chased back. At the same time, Alba also stepped forward to mark in time, and Barcelona's defense line moved quickly to the right as a whole.

In this way, Muller on the weak side is in an unmarked situation.

Alaba made a decisive transfer with a diagonal long pass and found Thomas Muller on the right.

Semedo pushed out of the penalty area, defended Muller, and handed over to his teammates to make up the defense.

Roberto's timely return to defense is particularly critical.

If he presses too high like Rakitic, then the space behind him is occupied by Rossi.

Although Muller's back ball was successfully given to Rossi's feet, under Roberto's tight pressure, Rossi was constantly squeezed out.

When approaching the bottom line, Rossi kicked to cross, and Roberto also stretched his foot to block.

At the moment of contact with the ball, he gently kicked the ball back and shook the defense.

Just as Rossi adjusted his body and prepared to walk into the penalty area, Pique's supplementary defense was very timely and prevented him from breaking through the line.

Roberto also adjusted his body balance and rushed towards Rossi.

Facing double-teaming, Rossi hit the ball continuously with his left and right feet in a small space, swayed to intercept, and slipped through the cracks.

The action is very chic, but there is no room for shooting.

Rossi didn't have time to think about it, and made an inverted triangle pass back to the middle.

Because he was closer to the goalkeeper, Ter Stegen, who fell to the ground, took the ball into his arms with both hands.

[Beautiful little ball! 】

【Rossi was double-teamed by two defenders just now, and got through! 】

[It's a pity that I was too close to the goalkeeper and got by Ter Stegen! 】

[Barcelona should pay attention, although Bayern did not score a goal, they have successfully played out their tactics! 】

Valverde became a little restless and shouted into the stadium.

"Recycle, let go of the sidewalk!"

"Pay attention to the front and rear protective echoes!"

"Watch out for the ribs!"

Under his adjustment, Rakitic and Roberto will properly retract the center and compress Bayern's midfield.

Valverde believes that Bayern's wing is just a feint, the purpose is to constantly mobilize the defense, so that after his players are exhausted, they will launch a fatal blow from the ribs.

Once let go of the wing, Bayern can only make a pass from the bottom, and the threat is greatly weakened.

Therefore, when Barcelona compressed the space in the middle, Bayern's attack on the two wings looked lively, but they couldn't really hit Barcelona's core area.

Soon, the first half ended and Barcelona returned to the locker room with a score of 1:0.

Bayern trailed by one goal in the away game, which is an acceptable score.

But when Rossi returned to the locker room, he was tired and out of breath.

In the first half, he undertook a lot of individual combat tasks, which consumed a lot of physical energy.

Valverde looked at Rossi whose chest was heaving and unsteady, showing a sinister smile.
