Chapter 187 Tight Defense

The Bundesliga itself has only 34 rounds, 4 rounds less than the Premier League.In addition, Bayern won the championship early and there is no pressure from the league, so in the last two rounds of the league, Hitzfeld has sent substitute players and rotation players.

As for the main players, of course they are recharging their energy and gearing up for this battle!

On the other hand, Manchester City, after the first round with Bayern, played with all the main players in the championship game against Fulham. The whole team hardly got a rest, and then began to prepare for this game.

I heard that Manchester City has had a lot of training in recent days!
Do you still have strength?
Hitzfeld sneered in his heart.

Fight against me?
Bayern's sufficient physical fitness can drag Manchester City to death alive!

If Duncan knew what Heathfield was thinking at this time, he would definitely spread his hands innocently: "The last team that had this idea was called Sporting Lisbon, and he has already been eliminated by us!"

In this game, Bayern Munich played a 442 formation, which can be said to be the main force.

The goalkeeper is Captain Kahn, and the back line is lined up, namely right back Lyle, center back Demichelis, Lucio, and left back Lahm.

Four midfielders, Ze Roberto, Van Bommel, Franck Ribery, Schweinsteiger four starting.

On the front line, high center Klose and Tony start together.

Another striker, Podolski, is on standby.

At the beginning, Bayern Munich showed a strong offensive and aggressive.

Not only are the two wingers Roberto and Ribery constantly interspersed and running, appearing to be very active, even the two full-backs Lahm and Lyle are also frequently inserting, covering the sides and bottoming the bottom, which hinders the team's offense. Come when you are free.

The right-back Lyle is a strange thing. When Bayern sold him to Birmingham, the team reached an agreement, but Lyle lost contact. In the end, the transfer came to naught.

Lyle was able to become the starter, largely because Bayern had no suitable candidates for the right back position.

On the contrary, Bayern Munich's left-back Lahm, if he can't be called the world's number one left-back, then adding "one" to the end will definitely not be objected to.

Ram at left back, together with Ze Roberto on the left side of the midfield, put tremendous pressure on Manchester City's right back Trabelsi.

Ze Roberto is a Brazilian player with delicate footwork, excellent technique, and good speed. He has performed well this season.

Of course, if his shooting skills were better, Ze Roberto would not miss the occasional chance of empty goals.

Ze Roberto and Lahm's cooperation on the left this season is quite sharp!

Ze Roberto dribbled the ball and faced Trabelsi. Trabelsi was not tall, but his movements were very flexible, and Ze Roberto did not have the confidence to break through.

Ze Roberto stepped on the ball and suddenly kicked it forward,
At the same time, Lahm flashed from behind Ze Roberto, along the outside of the touchline, and inserted from behind.

Silva appeared at Lahm's side at this time. He was very smart and did not try to stop Lahm's goal, but just followed him not too far away.

This makes Lahm very uncomfortable. He wants to speed up and get rid of Silva, but Joel Luka has already assisted in the defense at the far end. He wants to use his technical advantage to break through, but what Silva is most afraid of is technical flow.

This put Ram in a dilemma.

Not only on the left side, Ram glanced at the center, but found that Hargreaves and Elano were far or near, blocking all possible routes for Ram.

As far as the eye can see, there are basically blue jerseys.

Lahm had no choice but to pass the ball back to Van Bommel who was lagging behind.

There was a burst of boos from the fans at the scene.

Van Bommel passed the ball back to the defence, and he made a questioning gesture towards Lahm.

Ram waved his hand, signaling his teammates to come closer to him.

Van Bommel is very strange. The combination of Lahm and Ze Roberto has a strong offensive ability. When did they suddenly need the support of their teammates?
Before he had time to think, the ball was passed from behind.

Van Bommel is the lagging organizer of Bayern Munich. His good overall view and excellent skills are the foundation of his foothold in Bayern.

Last season, Van Bommel was the best player in the Bayern team.

His control of Bayern's offensive and defensive rhythm is the guarantee for the normal operation of the Bayern team.

After a little observation, Van Bommel was suddenly a little dazed.

Manchester City's defensive formation was kept very tight. Although Van Bommel really wanted to find open passes, he couldn't find any loopholes.

Shevchenko pushed up from one side, and Van Bommel protected the ball and took another look at the situation on the field. There was indeed no good space.And Shevchenko's harassment was very annoying, Van Bommel passed the ball to Schweinsteiger who retreated to respond.

Schweinsteiger wanted to pass the ball, but suddenly found that there were all Manchester City players around him, and his teammates were far away in his field of vision.

Reluctantly, he passed the ball back to Van Bommel.

Van Bommel saw that City were pressing too tightly together, so he passed the ball back to the defense, and Lucio received the ball.

The home fans booed for the second time.Such a powerful Bayern actually likes to pass back?
Hitzfeld couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up, walked to the sidelines, pushed forward with both hands, and signaled the players to try their best to attack.

Football was back at Van Bommel's feet.

Van Bommel knew the long ball was going nowhere, so he gave the ball to right-back Lyle, who in turn passed it to Ribery.

Since you don't rely on passing, let's rely on breakthroughs to block the opponent's defense.

After receiving the ball, Ribery also found that the Manchester City players were running, and the team's defensive formation was kept very tight.And as the football moves to the right, the formation of the Manchester City team also moves to the right, allowing Manchester City to have more people than Bayern Munich in this area with the ball.

Of course Ribery knows that if there is a large-scale transfer at this time, there will definitely be vacancies on the other side, but Ribery does not intend to do so.

First of all, he doesn't have this habit.

Secondly, he doesn't have this footwork.

Of course, Franck Ribery is not helpless in the face of such an overall defense. What he is most afraid of is the overall defense for his own sharp breakthrough.

Facing Heinze, Ribery was very confident. He slowly dribbled the ball forward and made a gesture to move forward, but suddenly kicked the ball to the outside and accelerated himself to overtake from the outside.

Heinze turned around very quickly. Before Ribery got out of his control, Heinze fell to the ground, risking being stepped on by Ribery, and poked the ball away with his toe.

The home fans burst into applause!
Not only offense, but excellent defense can also win the love of fans.

Heinze's fierce style like "Desperate Saburo" made him very popular among the fans.

A throw-in was thrown in and Ribery tried again, this time Pedro ran up and flanked Heinze back and forth and broke the ball.
