Chapter 451 The Price of a Penalty Kick

The score of 1:0 did not make Heynckes' brows relax.

Looking at the panting team members, his expression became more dignified.

The consumption of physical energy far exceeded his expectations.

In the second half of the first half, if Ulreich hadn't played bravely and frequently resolved dangers, the goal would have been scored by the opponent.

Bayern does not crazily oppress active teams, but more often uses the whole to oppress opponents.

But this time it was chasing and stealing, and the physical requirements were very strict.

And now that it is entering the sprint stage of the second half of the season, the players of a team fighting on the third line like Bayern can't afford this kind of catch-up tactic.

Do you want to take it easy?
This idea just passed by in a flash, and was rejected in an instant.

The opponent is the best team in the world, with the best players in the world, even if he hesitates for a second, it is a disrespect for his career as a head coach.

"Everyone, take the time to rest and drink plenty of water. The next game will be more intense."

"Robert, you have to be tougher and decisive in order to put enough pressure on your opponent."

"Arturo, you did a good job offensively and defensively in the first half, you are our hero."

"Thomas, you must remember that when you are in the frontcourt, don't stay with the ball at your feet for too long."

"Luo, don't be lazy, I can see your every move off the court clearly."

The stern Heynckes made the players dare not be careless.

Rossi's performance in the first half can be described as "dedicated".

If he needs to continue to maintain this state in the second half, the only thing waiting for him is "after death".

This also reflects Rossi's irreplaceable and important role in tactics.

Rosie drank water, gasped and nodded, and responded, "Yes, sir!"

His firm answer echoed in the locker room, lifting everyone's spirits.

Only he, with a firm tone, responded to the head coach.

The others were so tired that they only had the strength to nod.

Heynckes nodded in satisfaction, pulled over the tactical board, and arranged tactical tasks for the second half.

The chasing tactics in the first half are still the main ones, but the marking of Messi has been strengthened.

This important task is handed over to Vidal to perform.

Vidal, who has B2B attributes, has to take into account both offensive and defensive tasks. If the restrictions on Messi are strengthened, the task will be very heavy.

In order to relieve the pressure, Heynckes let Jule go forward to increase the interception height of the midfield.

At the same time, it gave Vidal more room to move in the backcourt.

Once Messi gets the ball, he will be double-teamed by Hummels, Rafinha and Vidal.

This tactic is very risky, but it is also worth the risk for them.

Soon, the two sides returned to the court, ready to start the second half of the game.

The classic 8-man center circle kick-off tactic once again appeared at the Allianz Arena.

When Rossi passed the ball back, he and seven other teammates inserted into the opponent's half.

When the Barcelona players were eager to return to the defensive position, Hummels' precise guidance in the backcourt passed the ball to Ribery's feet.

Although he doesn't have the speed of the peak period, but the kung fu under his feet is getting more and more proficient.

Ribery's constant rhythm changes on the wing made defensive players afraid to grab easily.

After Alaba on the wing stepped forward, Ribery immediately passed the ball.

Barcelona seemed a little cramped in this defense, and the line of defense was too flat.

Alaba made an inverted triangle pass back, and the outflanking teammates could easily form a shot from the outside.

Appearing on the left side of the penalty area is Bayern's head striker, Rossi.

At the critical moment, Busquez found him and intercepted him as fast as possible.

Rossi was unhurried, quickly pulled the ball back with his right foot, and pushed it forward to the right, avoiding the opponent's upper grab.

Rakitic comes in from the other side, trying to steal the ball.

Rossi quickly dialed the ball laterally with the outer instep of his right foot, and gently padded the ball to avoid Rakitic's sweeping steal.

Continuous passing outside the penalty area, although the movements are chic and smart, it also gave the Barcelona players time to defend.

Langley strode forward, trying to take advantage of the time when the ball left Rossi's control, and fell to the ground to tackle the ball to make a clearance.

Rossi, who had no room to adjust, also took advantage of the situation and fell to the ground with a shovel, one step ahead of his opponent, and stabbed the ball to the right.

Muller shot angrily at the ball, and Pique, who was defended, blocked the ball out of the baseline with his back.

At this time, Muller patted his left arm with his right palm, and signaled to the referee that Pique was handballing while defending.

But the referee ignored it and gave a corner kick decisively.

Franck Ribery takes the corner kick and Süle's header goes over the bar.

Barcelona goal kick.

Ter Schgent kept waving his hands forward, signaling his teammates to continue pressing.

Being pressed by Bayern in their own penalty area made them very uncomfortable.

But even if the formation is pressed near the center circle, it is very difficult for Barcelona players to control the long passes in the backcourt.

Rakitic's accurate judgment of the landing point allowed him to successfully pass the ball to his teammates under Muller's interference.

Rossi rushed to Busquez for the first time and carried out the robbery.

Professor Bu made a fake fax button, trying to confuse him with fake actions.

But Rossi didn't take this at all. The order he received was to intercept the ball, not to block the passing line.

The ball was poked lightly by Rossi's toe and rolled behind the two.

Busquez turned around immediately and got stuck.

Not to be outdone, Rossi immediately entangled with the other party.

drop!
The referee blew his whistle to signal the attacking side to draw a foul.

Immediately there were boos in the stadium, protesting the referee's penalty.

At this time, every time the fans exert pressure, it may have an impact on the referee's penalty.

After withstood the impact of Bayern's start, Barcelona began to gradually find its own rhythm.

The triangular area formed by Busquez, Rakitic and Coutinho resisted the impact of Bayern's midfielder.

Coupled with the fact that Vidal was taken away by Messi, Bayern's tight midfield defense began to loosen a bit.

If Kimmich makes it up, then Arthur will have a chance to get the ball.

Gradually, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and Bayern's pursuit of the frontcourt began to weaken.

Pique puts the ball straight forward and it's at Coutinho's feet.

Kubird, who dribbled the ball at high speed, hit the ball across the right rib area.

After Messi received the ball, Bayern's defense did not go up immediately, but retreated neatly, giving him plenty of observation time.

Suddenly, a scalpel-like through ball with his left foot was given to Suarez who was plugging in at high speed, and entered the penalty area, forming a single shot.

The Bayern fans held their breath, leaned forward, and stared at the stadium intently.

I saw that although Suarez formed a single-handed shot, he landed very deep. The goalkeeper had already attacked and blocked most of the shooting angles.

Suarez dialed the ball with the outside of his left foot and hit the near corner of the goal from a small angle.

But as Ulreich fell to the ground quickly, he spread his arms and held the ball out of the baseline with his right palm.

Bayern, who escaped unharmed, quickly made substitution adjustments.

Goretzka replaces Ribery.

In the counterattack tactics just now, Barcelona only had 3 people involved in the real offense, while Bayern had 5 defensive players.

They are few in number, but deadly.

Due to physical reasons, Ribery failed to return to defend Messi at the first time, so he gave him a chance to pass the ball.

Franck Ribery, who has already fought for 55 minutes, has burned all his physical energy in chasing and pressing in the frontcourt.

There was thunderous applause at the Allianz Arena, thanking the veteran for his dedication.

After replacing Gretzka, the Bayern midfielder was rejuvenated and continued to put pressure on Barcelona.

Valverde also adjusted immediately, replacing Arthur with Dembele to increase the speed of the counterattack.

If you stick to it, you can't prevent Bayern from attacking.

Moreover, Barcelona is very unsuited to being suppressed by opponents and cannot take the initiative.

Replacing Dembele is to use his speed to attack Bayern's three central defenders.

In just 3 minutes, he showed amazing speed in a counterattack.

The oppression of Bayern's frontcourt has begun to show a downward trend, and it has been torn apart by Barcelona's patient pass.

Messi took the ball in the backcourt and rushed, and the Bayern players could only fight and retreat. No one dared to step forward and slow down the attack.

Gretzka and Vidal began to narrow the encirclement, trying to pinch Messi.

But Messi sent the ball forward and gave it to Roberto, who was inserted behind.

Interspersed with clever Roberto, he took the ball and cut in, and after attracting all the defense to the center, he distributed it to Dembele, who was unguarded on the wing.

The latter advanced at high speed after receiving the ball, leaving Alaba behind with incredible speed.

The central defender Hummels was delayed, and just after his defense was in place, Dembele took advantage of his unsteady stand and suddenly cut inward.

But this action was seen through by the experienced Hummels, stretched out his long legs, and poked the ball away.

Bildah stopped the ball and turned around, only to see Messi rushing towards him, and after distributing the ball to Gretzka on his side, he was hit by Messi to the ground.

This was originally an offensive foul, but Bayern did not stop the rhythm of the counterattack, but Gretzka passed the ball to the wing.

Offensive advantage!

Kimmich dribbled the ball from the backcourt at high speed, and Bayern's offensive trident advanced forward at the same time, forming a counterattack situation.

Lewandowski entered the penalty area from the center, but was already in an offside position.

However, Muller in the ribs and Rossi in the far end were not offside, and they are very likely to pose a threat.

Kimmich chose to pass through the ribs, and Muller succeeded in countering offside and entered the penalty area.

Langley saw that the situation was not good, and Muller could single-handedly here, or he could pass to Rossi who was in the back to hit an empty goal, which was very dangerous.

In desperation, he fell to the ground to tackle the ball and brought it down with the ball.

Allianz Arena suddenly boiled.

For tackles behind the inside of the penalty area, the minimum is a yellow card + penalty package.

If it is a red card, then Barcelona will only have ten players left to fight.

Players on both sides also knew the seriousness of the matter, and surrounded the referee one after another to put pressure on him.

The fans also booed and put pressure on referee Kuipers.

Under tremendous pressure, Kuipers calmly analyzed the situation on the field, repeatedly communicated with the linesman for confirmation through the walkie-talkie, took out the yellow card from his breast pocket, and pointed to the penalty spot.

Although Langley was not sent off with a red card, a penalty kick could bring Bayern back to life.

But at this moment, Muller, who was uprooted, did not get up for a long time, and clutched his ankle with a painful expression.

Rossi stepped forward to ask for the first time, and soon waved to the sidelines, indicating that the team doctor needs to enter the field.

Heynckes was also taken aback.

If Muller is off due to injury, the price of this penalty is a bit high.
