Chapter 82 Changes and hard work are not worth the ecstasy... 1(2/4)
In the 16th minute, Cross made a mid-range overhead pass to find Ribery who suddenly cut inside. Ribery made several false moves in the front of the penalty area to escape. Kyle followed all the way, just blocking his shot.
There was no other action from the angle of the shot. Ribery could only pass the ball at the top of the penalty area and give it a light push. Robben ran from the right, and under the influence of Royce's body, he got out of an angle and hit with his left foot.
The goal was very powerful, but the football hit Hummels' left calf and missed the left goal post.
Robben held his head and sighed.
Then Kroos took a corner kick from the left, and Schweinsteiger swung his head 8 meters away from the center to attack the goal. Weidenfeller easily got the ball without any resistance.
In the 18th minute, Rafinha took the ball from the right. Mandzukic beat Piszczek with a header from far away and crossed to the center. Kroos volleyed and shot, but Hummels blocked it with his body again!
There was a tremor in front of Dortmund.
Guardiola half-crouched, recalling the scene of Robben and Kroos shooting in his mind. He was very satisfied with Bayern's performance in these few minutes. He believed that the goal would come soon.
Thinking of this, his hanging heart relaxed a little.
Guardiola is actually satisfied with his work at Bayern so far.
Rao conceded a goal in the opening match against Dortmund, but it was nothing compared to his later difficulties in Barcelona.
But
The changes in formation and hard work did not bring about changes in the score!
It's all thunder but no rain. This is the criticism of Guardiola's ball control tactics by many people.
Although the game was suppressed again, the morale of Bayern Munich's players was high and the offense often created threats, but they just couldn't score!
In the 20th minute, Kroos hung his left foot at a 45-degree angle from the right. Mandzukic shook his head in the center of the penalty area and was caught by Weidenfeller.
In the 23rd minute, during a rare counterattack, Ribery counterattacked with a cross from the right. Schweinsteiger stopped the ball in the middle and hit the goal with his left foot from 20 meters away, but Weidenfeller caught him again.
In the 25th minute, Robben took a corner kick from the right. Dante headed the ball towards the goal from 11 meters away, but Weidenfeller easily picked it up.
Five minutes later, Lahm made a wonderful pass from the midfielder to the left. Franck Ribery quickly moved forward and passed the ball to the center of the penalty area. The unguarded Mandzukic rushed to the front and shot directly with his right foot, but it soared into the sky!
Guardiola could be seen on the sidelines kneeling down and holding his head!
Commentators around the world are talking about one thing - if this opportunity is given to Lewandowski
In the 40th minute, Rafinha made a diagonal pass from the right. Ram quickly inserted into the right side of the penalty area and got in front of the attacking Weidenfeller. He shot a low shot from a small angle with his right foot from 7 meters away, but the football landed on the side net again!
Bayern had 74% of the ball at halftime, but the score was 0:1.
After Weber blew the whistle, both teams immediately walked to the tunnel and returned to the locker room as quickly as possible.
The head coaches of both sides had too much to do during the 15-minute halftime break.
"Robben transformed into Xiao Wen in this game. Damn, he can really run!"
The sound of Gundogan gasping and talking caused a small fluctuation in the locker room. Everyone noticed Robben's extensive running and linking up in the first half.
"Let Robben do Muller's job? What is Guardiola betting on?" Royce frowned slightly and said to himself softly: "Is this guy Muller willing to be substituted?"
He shook his head and said to Gundogan: "I can't run anymore. This half has never been encountered in the Bundesliga, but this score is worthy of us running like this!"
After saying this, Royce and his surrounding teammates couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the atmosphere on the court relaxed a little.
At halftime, Zhan Jun and Li Yuankui were doing midfield technical and tactical analysis. After chatting about the first half data, Zhan Jun asked a question and elicited Li Yuankui's tactical analysis.
Director Li thought for a moment and said seriously:
"This performance of Dortmund shows how terrifying a team with high-level players in various positions, strong personnel and tactical execution, correct mentality and choosing the most suitable style of play can be!
Lewandowski's half-footed ball, why is it called a half-footed pass? Generally speaking, when our players pass the ball, they stop, look, and then pass, but Lewandowski passed it to Xiao
When asked about the ball, there was no stopping the ball, and it was passed directly in the air. In this way, it is faster and more concealed, which is not conducive to Bayern players' ability to see the passing route and formulate defensive strategies... This is the role of a top forward.
Score goals and can also support them.
Then there is no need to emphasize Xiao Wen repeatedly. He is now the point that Dortmund relies on the most.
In defense, Hummels' top performance was also one of the reasons why Bayern Munich was unable to score in the first half.
He made several key blocks in the first half."
Speaking of this, Zhan Jun immediately added: "Yes, Robben's shot and Kroos's sweep were all made by Hummels."
Director Li Yuankui also nodded, "So looking at Bayern, German football has basically integrated tiki taka. Whether it is suitable for the team or not? Judging from the first game against Manchester United and the results of the first half of this game, we have to play
A question mark. Although I personally feel that we can at least wait and see before we can make a final conclusion. However, if we only look at the consequences, we do have the confidence to deny Guardiola’s transformation now.”
"Li Zhi, you said we need to wait and see again." Zhan Jun frowned and said, "But many celebrities and commentators in European football have turned against Guardiola."
Director Li: "Oh?"
"Lineker is more radical. He said, "Guardiola may have hypnotized most people in Dortmund, but he cannot hypnotize Lewandowski and Hummels. Total defeat!"
"It is indeed these three players who performed better."
"Klinsmann, who is far away in the United States, directly questioned why Guardiola did not use Muller in the starting lineup." Zhan Jun continued to read.
Director Li also frowned, "Many people say that the tactics of Muller and Guardiola do not match. Guardiola put him on the bench in this game, which confirms this view. But the problem is, winning
Muller, who will do the connection between the midfield and the front? Who can replace those crazy movements, connection, and forward shooting? During the halftime break, Guardiola needs to think about it."
Guardiola made a compromise.
Exit Raphinha, enter Muller!
Lahm returned to the right back position, Ribery and Robbencross all dropped back, and Muller was behind Mandzukic. It looked like a 4-4-2 formation, which Guardiola does not often use.
…
Xiao Wen gasped for air. As a B2B winger, he was breathing lightly in front of his locker. He was paying attention to Klopp's latest arrangements. Even the hot sweat dripping from his forehead seemed too lazy to raise his hand to wipe it away.
.
From the beginning, Dortmund did not expect to get too many counterattack opportunities from Bayern, which was pressing hard. In fact, Xiao Wen only hit them twice in the first half, with a long shot from the right side of the penalty area.
On to the stands.
But because of Klopp's trust in him, Gundogan, and Piszczek sacrificed a lot, and even the old captain ran the most runs in the first half of the entire season. Only then did Xiao Wen finally find his way.
An opportunity to travel long distances.
Defense, counterattack!
Klopp's main theme was still these two points, and Dortmund did not make any substitutions during the halftime break.
When Xiao Wen walked out of the tunnel, he was still greeted by boos.
However, he even enjoyed the boos a little bit, because it in turn represented the Bayern fans' affirmation and fear of him.
The Bayern players on the other side of the center line were on the verge of going crazy. Although they couldn't hear the sound of them talking to each other, the feeling of being filled with gunpowder smoke was constantly floating in front of Xiao Wen.
He knows that in the coming time, his defense players will definitely still have a hard time, and all their energy will probably be devoted to defense. As for offense, he, Lewandowski, and Royce will be the only ones left.
In fact, even Mkhitaryan spent more of the first half assisting in defense within his own half. Under Bayern's high pressure, he was willing to only use himself as a defensive midfielder.
It was precisely because of the tenacious resistance of these teammates and Hummels' superb performance in this game that the one-goal advantage in the first half was preserved.
Now
The test intensifies!
At the beginning of the second half, Bayern Munich continued to take the initiative.
In the 47th minute, Durm made a mistake in making a clearance in the penalty area. Ribery's low shot from a small angle on the right was saved by Weidenfeller.
In the 53rd minute, Robben dribbled the ball from his right rib and cut in slightly. His left-footed low shot from the right side of the arc in the penalty area lacked power and Weidenfeller easily got it.
2 minutes later, Royce dribbled the ball from the left flank to the edge of the penalty area and shot a low shot with his left foot but Neuer blocked the near post.
In the 70th minute, Guardiola could no longer tolerate Mandzukic's performance and replaced him with Gotze.
Unexpectedly, Dortmund's three lines squatted down to the line of the penalty area, causing Bayern, which did not have a high center forward, to completely lose its offensive threat. Even the cross was no longer able to reach the first point.
Matthaus couldn't help it anymore, "Guardiola kept vetoing his pre-match arrangements, but Dortmund became more and more aware of the focus of beating Bayern - cutting out Robben Ribery's cutting route and connecting with the center.
The connection between the ribs is to let you go down. When the full-backs are defending Robben and Ribery, Gundogan and Kyle cut off their two options of cutting inside. No one can attack, just two basic points.
Compress space and guard against inside cuts!”
"Kross and Bastian Schweinsteiger originally had long-range shots, but Dortmund's desperate blocking in this game, how long have we not seen?"
"On the contrary, Bayern was a little timid. The pass Guardiola wanted started to fall apart after it reached the edge of the penalty area!"
The Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena are quitting. What Heynckes played last season is called football!
Guardiola keeps trying to get on the plane, but he can't get in. Are you a man?
Gradually, there were some boos.
Not long after, Klopp replaced captain Kyle with Hoffman, whose physical strength tank was at the bottom, and replaced Reus, a sports car who couldn't rush, with Aubameyang.
Once again, Bayern overwhelmed the offense in the penalty area, and Xiao Wen was now positioned further forward than Lewandowski.
Guardiola looked at Xiao Wen, feeling a chill in his heart, and a shadow drifted across his eyes.
He knew that Dortmund had this kind of tenacity once upon a time, but only when he actually went to the battlefield and saw with his own eyes that this team was as calm and calm as a machine, facing the opponent's fanatical and fierce attack, but everyone blocked the holes of the gun, and everyone fought bravely to be first.
Only then can we truly understand the horror of our opponents in this game and our own stupidity.
To be continued...
