Chapter 449 Attacking German Tanks

16%.

This is FIFA's chances of Bayern's comeback in this game before the start of the second round between Bayern and Barcelona.

Bayern, with an away goal in hand, is not completely impossible to comeback when they are only two goals behind.

But two hours ago, after Bayern's squad and starting list were announced, the media was not optimistic that Bayern would be able to make a comeback at home.

Neuer, Martinez and Boateng are absent due to injuries.

Although Thiago, Tolisso, and Robben entered the squad, their competitive status was also a bit sluggish due to their injuries, and they sat on the bench.

This made Heynckes' formation a lot more difficult.

In the evening, Bayern fans poured into the Allianz Arena like attending a grand party.

From the warm-up of the players, the drumming never stopped until the players from both sides entered the field.

The two sides lined up and stood in a row, waiting for the main theme of the Champions League to sound.

The fans in front of the stands put back their scarves and team flags and stood quietly.

The Barcelona players whispered in their hearts.

As the team with the highest attendance rate in Europe, the Allianz Arena today seems a bit unenthusiastic.

Could it be that he has no hope of advancing?

As the main theme of the Champions League sounded, the stands directly in front of the players suddenly changed drastically.

A huge red, white and blue Bayern team logo slowly opened from the middle of the stands and extended towards the sides.

Accompanied by the crazy shouts of the fans, like thunder in a drought, it exploded in the Allianz Arena.

The Barcelona players were all taken aback, their ears were filled with the shouts of the fans, and they couldn't breathe for a while.

Then, on the stands on the north and south sides, a paragraph of English appeared respectively.

"FC Bayern forever number one!"

"MIA San MIA!"

Like two thick arms, enveloping the Barcelona players.

If you don't call it, it's a blockbuster!
The shocking giant tifo and the hot cheer scene made the Barcelona players feel the power of the German chariot.

"My factory has collapsed!!!"

As the Champions League theme song came to an abrupt end, the players from both sides shook hands to pay tribute.

The home team Bayern Munich started.

Goalkeeper: Ulreich.

Defense line: Alaba, Hummels, Jule, Rafinha.

Midfield: Ribery, Vidal, Kimmich, Thomas Müller.

Forwards: Rossi, Lewandowski.

Bayern's biggest problem in this game is the defense.

The captain and goalkeeper Neuer was absent due to injury, and the defense lacked a core.

There is no doubt about the ability of the two central defenders, but they are facing the impact of a small and fast forward, and the defect of slow turning is magnified.

This requires the support and help of teammates.

The visiting team Barcelona started.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defense: Alba, Lenglet, Pique, Roberto.

Midfield: Coutinho, Busquez, Rakitic, Arthur.

Forwards: Suarez, Messi.

Barcelona is a regular starting XI.

With a two-goal lead, the 4-4-2 formation tends to be more offensive and defensive.

Muller and Messi came to the middle circle to guess coins, and it turned out that Barcelona kicked off first.

The Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers, who has rich coaching experience, became the law enforcement referee of this focused battle.

Under his short and long whistle, the game officially started.

Boos came from all directions, and the fans became the team's solid backing, doing their best.

After witnessing the shocking start at the Allianz Arena, the Barcelona players couldn't calm down, and began to pass the ball back and forth amidst huge boos.

"Pressing is a tactic that more than 80% of teams now use. They force the opponent in one direction, or force him to make a pass error."

"This tactic was very useful against the previous Barcelona. But why did we concede three goals in the first leg?"

"The reason lies in the opponent's midfield, which no longer has the original control."

This was Heynckes laying out tactics in the conference room four hours before the game.

"Are you wondering why the opponent's midfield control is weak, and the pressure is not effective?"

"Pressing is a passive tactic that cannot steal the ball from the opponent's feet."

"And the catching up I propose is to take the initiative to grab the ball and actively create opportunities to attack and score."

Initiative is the core of Bayern's tactics in this game.

The purpose of chasing in the front court is not to force the opponent to pass the ball back.

Instead, at a distance of about two meters from the ball holder, a very aggressive steal was suddenly launched.

Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the best teams in the world.

What Bayern has to do is to beat the best team in the world in their own way.

This is what Heynckes conveyed to each player before playing.

As soon as the game started, the Bayern players launched a frantic press.

This makes Barcelona players very uncomfortable.

If it's just oppression, they still have time to observe the situation on the field and use the pass tacit understanding accumulated in daily training to find a solution.

But today's opponents don't talk about martial arts at all. As long as the reaction is slow, they will either be intercepted by them, or they will continue to steal.

Such aggressive tactics will gradually make people lose their calm and patience.

Especially for a team like Barcelona that doesn't like being suppressed by their opponents in the half court, this disturbing catching-up tactic is very effective.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Valverde immediately asked Messi to retreat to the midfield to help out the ball.

Heynckes also immediately signaled Muller to mark Messi closely and interfere with him getting the ball.

Giving Messi space is the worst option.

In order to better limit Messi, Kimmich will also approach him appropriately, and keep a front and back double-team with his teammates.

After successfully restricting Messi, Bayern began to restrict their other key player, Busquez.

The so-called Busquez turned around, and Barcelona turned from defense to offense.

As the organizer and metronome of Barcelona's backcourt, his passing controls the direction and rhythm of Barcelona's attack.

But this time, Vidal interfered with him personally.

Busquez could not calmly organize the attack, and Barcelona has been suppressed in its own half.

This is a very red flag.

In order to relieve the pressure, Pique will take the initiative to come over and be responsible for the transfer.

Rossi quickly approached him and interfered with his possession of the ball.

In desperation, Pique passed back to the goalkeeper.

Rossi rushed over immediately.

Rossi, who spared no effort, ran out of the pressure of three people in the frontcourt.

Previously, the Barcelona players were still immersed in the good situation of leading by two goals, hoping to use the pass to fight the war of attrition.

It seemed a bit embarrassing for Bayern's frantic pursuit at the beginning.

In the 10th minute, Barcelona made a mistake in the backcourt pass.

Langley made a header error and was intercepted by Muller in the ribs.

The Bayern captain picked the ball to avoid Busquets' interception and crossed the middle.

Lewandowski outflanked the penalty area and shot the lower left corner of the goal with his right foot.

Ter Schent quickly fell to the ground, his arms outstretched, and he blocked the ball with his fingers.

A fairy-level save is enough to be selected as the best save in the Champions League this season.

However, Rossi's supplementary shot in front of the goal made this wonderful save come to naught.

No one expected that Rossi appeared on the trajectory of the ball at the moment Ter Schent blocked the ball.

There is no advanced shooting skills and skills, just use the arch of the foot to gently pad the ball towards the goal.

That's it.

Pique threw his whole body out, his expression twisted and hideous, but he still couldn't stop the ball from getting into the net.

The current score is 1:0!

The total score, 2:3!

With this goal, Bayern took the lead in the second round.
