Ji Ge has learned his lesson, but this does not mean that the wing he guards is safe.
In fact, both he and Alaba on the other side are now under increasing pressure.
A very important reason for this is that Chelsea scored!
The frustration of being unable to score for a long time was suddenly cleared away after the goal, and all the strength Chelsea had accumulated was released at once like a flood.
On the other hand, the game has entered the 70th minute, and Bayern's physical disadvantage has gradually become apparent, which also makes the players' support for the wing less active and effective.
Of course, there is another reason, which is the 4-3-3 formation currently used by Bayern.
Today's coaches know that the 4-3-3 formation is arguably the most potentially overwhelming of all modern formations.
That's why many of European football's dominant teams in the league - such as Real Madrid and Barcelona - use it.
These teams look forward to a win every week and have enough offensive power to defeat teams determined to walk away with a draw.
In possession, the 4-3-3 formation allows at least seven players to attack, with the wingers pressing the opposition defence, the full-backs behind them and the two midfielders pushing forward.
The characteristic of the 4-3-3 formation is its stifling nature. The three-man midfielder can control the ball through the passing triangle, and the three forwards can press high to control the situation and eventually break through the opponent's defense.
But the problem is that Bayern is now at a disadvantage.
If the 4-3-3 cannot control the ball when attacking, then this 4-3-3 formation will be vulnerable to attack.
After all, the defense at this time basically relies on center backs and defensive midfielders, which also creates a very dangerous situation where the opponent's wide players have enough space to break through.
The 4-3-3 formation also requires the wide players to have strong discipline. If the wide forwards cannot keep up with the defenders, the danger of exposure is huge.
Including when the defender rushes to support the attack, he must have the energy to return to defense within 90 minutes.
If not, the opposing wide players will be left alone.
Obviously, Bayern cannot have these conditions now.
So Chelsea took advantage of the momentum after the goal and the holes in Bayern's defense on both wings to attack fiercely.
In the 72nd minute, Chelsea made another threatening attack.
After Hazard got the ball on the left, he attracted the attention of the defense and passed it to Marcos Alonso who came in behind.
After receiving the ball, Marcos Alonso cut diagonally, rubbed the ball with his left foot, and accurately sent the ball into the penalty area behind Bayern Munich's defense.
At this time, Lukaku used his speed to get rid of Javi Martinez and stopped the ball first.
Before another central defender Boateng came to block it, Lukaku directly fired a volley.
This time the shot was from the same position as last time, but Neuer had already taken precautions and blocked the ball with a side dive, defusing Chelsea's attack with little risk.
"There is a lot of noise in front of Bayern's goal right now. Chelsea's performance is getting smoother and smoother after the goal. It gives me the feeling that they will score again soon."
"Bayern's two wing defenses currently have quite a problem. Guardiola should probably consider pulling back the defense. After all, their current overall formation is a bit too high, which leads to a gap in the space behind the two sides. Big reason.”
"I believe Guardiola can also see this. Yes, he is already preparing to make substitutions. Standing on the sidelines to warm up are defender Benatia and midfielder Thiago. This can be seen that Guardiola is I want to strengthen my defense and increase my ability to control the ball..."
While the commentator was analyzing, Chelsea went on the offensive again.
This time, Lukaku suddenly moved to the right, used his speed to cross Alaba's defense zone, received a long pass that came to the B seat behind him, and after stopping the ball, he followed the trend along the right.
This is also his traditional skill, professional winger Lukaku!
At this time, Hazard and Harry Kane both followed up on the left and center respectively, forming a momentum of two arrows shooting straight at the Bayern Munich goal.
However, Lukaku's pass was saved by Boateng, who returned to defense in time, and the crisis was barely resolved.
"Boateng kicked the ball out and Bayern Munich launched a counterattack on the spot."
"We can see on the sidelines that Guardiola has called Benatia and Thiago who have returned from warm-up. It seems that he is planning to make substitution adjustments after this dead ball."
"Bayern have now pushed the ball over the midfield line and it's Xavi Alonso who has the ball."
"But when he took the ball, he was immediately pinched by Kante and David Luiz, and the ball was lost!"
"What's terrible is that because Bayern just took the ball and counterattacked, Alaba and Kimmich on both sides rushed forward, and now they haven't had time to return to defense!"
"Kante fell to the ground and made a beautiful shovel pass. He shoveled the ball that was not completely under his control directly to seat B on the right!"
"At this time, Harry Kane also moved to the right, attracting the attention of Alaba who quickly chased back. However, Seat B did not pass the ball, but accelerated towards the baseline."
"Now Marcos Alonso and Hazard on the other side, including Lukaku, are all in the middle and left of the penalty area. Let's see how the B seat will pass..."
"He did not pass the ball to the small penalty area, but made an inverted triangle, reaching near the penalty spot. This area is undefended... dangerous!"
"David Luiz rushed here without knowing when, and he hit the ball with a furious shot!"
"The ball went in!!!!!!"
"David Luiz! Chelsea penetrated Bayern Munich's goal again."
"Chelsea scored two goals in less than ten minutes and now they are two goals ahead!"
"At the critical moment, Bayern Munich's defense once again made a mistake. They had a defensive vacuum from the penalty spot to the front of the penalty area."
"After Chelsea blocked Bayern's counterattack this time, they counterattacked very quickly. Bayern Munich's defense made a marking error when switching."
"This inverted triangle pass from seat B was very calm. He seemed to know the situation in the penalty area very well. The pass was also very beautiful and comfortable. David Luiz didn't even need to stop the ball, he just stepped out and passed it. shoot."
"Being ahead by Chelsea by two goals in the 75th minute, it seems Bayern has little hope."
After Chelsea scored the second goal, the English fans made an astonishing noise in the stands of the San Siro Stadium. The momentum was as if they were going to lift the roof of the stands of the San Siro Stadium.
The German fans were silent.
They are really depressed.
What was more depressing than the fans was Guardiola in front of the visiting team's coach's bench.
He had already arranged for a substitution, but it turned out to be half a beat too late.
And this time the goal was conceded, it was the loophole that Guardiola had already seen on the field and wanted to make up for.
Replacing Benatia is to strengthen the defense of the back line, especially the protection from the front of the penalty area to the penalty spot after the wing is broken;
Replacing Thiago is to strengthen the midfielder's ball control and avoid further losing control of the center.
Let’s look at the whole process of losing the ball. First, the ball was lost in the center, then the ball was broken through on the wing, and finally the defense in the center was empty and the goal was easily scored...
If the player had been replaced earlier, it might have been possible to avoid conceding the goal.
But what can be said now?
Do you regret not making a decision earlier?
But how can there be any regret medicine in this world?
If Lukaku's first goal left Bayern Munich with a glimmer of hope;
So after David Luiz scored the second goal, Bayern Munich undoubtedly seemed to have sunk to the bottom and was difficult to save.
But Guardiola is Guardiola after all, and he does not give in so easily.
Now he made a decisive decision and immediately called Benatia and Thiago back to the bench.
This substitution is cancelled!
And he called two other people to prepare to play.
This time it's Koeman and Douglas Costa!
Just change the offensive players and compete with Chelsea!
Now that the game has reached this point, there is no need to hold anything back.
Losing two is a loss, losing three, and losing four is also a loss. For a final, there is no difference.
——
Soon, Bayern completed the substitutions.
Thomas Muller and Javi Martinez were substituted, with Koeman and Douglas Costa coming on as substitutes.
Bayern's formation on the field has also changed again.
Alaba, Boateng, and Kimmich stand at the back to form three central defenders, and Xavi Alonso partners with Vidal to play as a double midfielder;
In the frontcourt, Ribery, Robben, Koeman, Douglas Costa, and Lewandowski all fired five arrows!
You can call this formation 3-2-4-1, or 3-2-5. In short, it’s full of firepower!
Such substitutions and changes of formation show Guardiola's determination to break the boat!
This also cheered up the Bayern Munich players on the court and played with more energy.
In fact, it is mainly because Thomas Muller, a forward who is good at running and grabbing points, really did not perform satisfactorily when being suppressed by Chelsea, and he was almost invisible on the court.
The replacements of Coman and Douglas Costa are both fast dogs who can burst out from the wing. Coupled with Robben and Ribery who were already standing on the field, Bayern suddenly gained a local explosive ability. Great enhancement.
Bayern began to break through from the wing and pass from time to time, and then Lewandowski in the center grabbed the point, headed the ball, or volleyed, and began to threaten Chelsea's goal.
Of course Pan Yi will not sit still and wait for death.
He knew in his heart that although he was now two goals ahead, if he relaxed, he would definitely suffer a big loss.
The opponent is Bayern Munich, which is full of superstars!
Therefore, Pan Yi quickly made substitution adjustments.
He first replaced Hazard, whose physical strength was severely reduced, with Mbappe to maintain the impact of the frontcourt;
Then he replaced Marcos Alonso and Azpilicueta with Goretzka and Matic and began to strengthen the midfield interception ability.
After the two full-backs left the field, David Luiz returned to the central defender position, forming a three-centre defender with Ake and Van Dijk;
The midfielder is a four-man interception formation composed of Goretzka, Matic, B seat, and Kanter;
The attacking midfielder is Harry Kane, and the forwards are Mbappe and Lukaku.
Chelsea's formation has now become a 3-4-1-2!
This is also Pan Yi's fifth formation change in this game.
Because this formation is different from the ordinary 3-4-3, the four midfielders are all "all-around midfielders" and there are no wing backs or wing backs. The defensive ability and interception ability are very outstanding.
Harry Kane, who serves as an attacking midfielder, can also return to the midfield to get the ball or participate in defense. Therefore, Chelsea can now take into account the tactical purposes of midfield defense and counterattack.
In this way, even if Bayern Munich can gain a certain advantage in possession of the ball on the court, when the ball advances to Chelsea's half, it will often be rushed to pieces, making it difficult to play smoothly.
Moreover, Bayern's current style of individual rushing with the ball is extremely energy-consuming.
That's not to mention Koeman and Douglas Costa, who just came on the field. Robben and Ribery were really unbearable after running around for a whole game.
After their physical strength decreases, the threat of breakthroughs and shots also decreases, and Chelsea's goal becomes more difficult to break.
75 minutes, 80 minutes, 85 minutes...
As time passed, Guardiola walked back to the visiting team's coaching bench at some point. After sitting down, he could no longer stand up.
He felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body.
I lost!
Although he didn't say it out loud, Guardiola had already said this to himself in his heart.
He used all his tricks.
Like Pan Yi, he also used five formations in today's game;
As for the fine-tuning of tactics in the same formation, it is impossible to calculate.
Guardiola can confirm that if his opponent were a different person today, his opponent would definitely be beaten to the point of being dizzy and unable to turn around.
But now, I still lost.
Just because the person sitting across from him was Pan Yi, a man who was much more profound than him in terms of tactical attainments and even better at on-the-spot command.
What's even more disgusting is that he is also a head coach who has studied many tactics. Why does Guardiola lose his hair, but Pan Yi doesn't? …
If perseverance is born, how can melons be born? ——
Even at the last moment, the Bayern Munich players on the court were still fighting hard, and they were still trying to chase the ball.
But their physical condition cannot support their desire for the championship.
Chelsea also slowed down the pace in the final stage, stalling for time and adhering to discipline, and the game ended quickly.
When the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game, the Chelsea players who had already been gearing up on the sidelines rushed into the stadium like crazy!
All the players and coaches rushed to celebrate, while the Chelsea fans in the stands stood up from their seats and gave the warmest applause and cheers since the opening.
"The game is over!"
"Chelsea defeated Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich 2-0 with two second-half goals from Romelu Lukaku and David Luiz!"
"Chelsea is the champion of the UEFA Champions League in the 2015-2016 season!"
"This was a wonderful game that could go down in history. Pan Yi and Guardiola used a total of ten formations in one game. This is definitely a rare spectacle!"
"In the first half, both teams were full of energy, especially Bayern Munich, which played more aggressively. The game also had ups and downs. The Southern King even suppressed Chelsea to a great extent."
"But Bayern Munich has been unable to make progress on the offensive end, which caused them to become impatient even though they were physically exhausted. After half an hour, it was already difficult for them to suppress Chelsea. On the contrary, It’s the Blue Army that frequently creates murderous opportunities.”
"If the two sides were evenly matched in the first half, then in the second half, Chelsea's overall advantage was fully reflected. They firmly controlled the situation from the beginning of the game, and Bayern was unable to do anything about it."
"We have to sympathize with Bayern Munich's defeat, but we should also cheer for Chelsea's rise to the top."
"This is the second consecutive year that Chelsea has won the Champions League! At the same time, this is also Pan Yi's third consecutive Champions League title and his fourth Champions League title!"
"Considering that this is only his fifth season in professional football... this is really a horrific record that can only be described as horrific!"
"Moreover, this season, Pan Yi also led Chelsea to win all the championships they could win, completing the great cause of seven crowns!"
"This is a unique and supreme honor in the history of football! It can be said that even if Pan Yi retires today, he will still occupy a place in the ranking of the best coaches in the history of world football!"
"It turns out that any cup-touching spell has no effect at all in front of Pan Yi!"
In the stands of the stadium, countless Chelsea fans raised high the paper cards prepared in advance to form a huge portrait of Pan Yi.
Everyone knows that Chelsea owes its present honor to Pan Yi!
What is slightly different from the usual Pan Yi portrait is that there is a golden crown on top of his head, with the words "Seven Crowns" written on the crown.
If you look carefully, you will also find seven trophies lined up below the crown, which represent the seven championships Chelsea won this season!
King of Europe, King of the World!
This is a championship gift given to Pan Yi by all Chelsea fans.
Even the people at Bayern gave Pan Yi enough respect.
In the stands, many Bayern Munich fans also applauded, expressing their recognition and affirmation of Pan Yi.
On the court, many Bayern Munich players and coaches walked past Pan Yi to shake hands with him and congratulate him;
Guardiola, in particular, took Pan Yi's hand and said softly: "You are still better than me, I give up."
Then he withdrew to the side.
That's because a repertoire after winning the championship was immediately performed next to him.
The Chelsea players surrounded Pan Yi, directly set up the ball, and threw it over their heads again and again.
Pan Yi was shocked, but soon felt relieved: "It's okay, he caught me after throwing it up this time..."
——
When everything is ready, the award ceremony officially begins.
All Chelsea players first divided into two rows, stood in front of the podium channel, and lined up to greet everyone from Bayern Munich.
Because the first place to be awarded is the runner-up medal.
When Bayern Munich captain Lahm led his team past Chelsea's queue, the players hugged each other. Many Bayern players smiled and congratulated Chelsea on their victory.
This is a heartfelt defeat!
It can be said that Guardiola and Bayern Munich tried their best, but still could not take away a victory at the San Siro Stadium. Chelsea's performance completely convinced them.
Coupled with a legendary head coach like Pan Yi, Bayern players also respect him very much.
Every time Pan Yi passed by, he would take the initiative to hug him warmly. Head coach Guardiola spread his hands to Pan Yi from a distance, with an innocent and helpless expression, as if to say:
"They seem to like you more than me!"
After the Bayern Munich players and coaches received their medals, Chelsea players also began to line up to the podium.
When Infantino handed the trophy to captain Terry and hung the medal around Pan Yi's neck, the audience burst into applause.
Afterwards, Terry, surrounded by all the players, raised the Big Ears Cup high, and the atmosphere reached its climax!
At this moment, watching the players holding the trophy excitedly, Pan Yi suddenly felt relaxed.
Tonight, under the witness of countless guests and fans, and under the attention of audiences around the world, he finally fulfilled his promise of winning seven championships!
At the same time, he also became the first person in history to lead two different teams to complete three consecutive Champions League titles!
Moreover, it has been unbeaten in the Premier League for two consecutive years, with a total of 76 unbeaten games, making it the team with the most unbeaten games in the five major leagues!
After defeating Bayern Munich today, Chelsea also completed its unbeaten record of 26 games in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons!
The longest unbeaten record before today belonged to Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United team, which went unbeaten for 25 consecutive games from 2007 to 2009.
Such a great record is enough to be recorded in the history of European football.
So……
what's next?
Pan Yi likes challenges, how can he face challenges?
Where will his next stop be?
Pan Yi was in a daze, and suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang.
"Who is so ignorant that he makes a phone call while others are holding a cup?"
Pan Yi complained, but still walked aside and took out the phone.
The name of the caller displayed on the phone screen was——
Ibrahimovic!
"Oh, you came to congratulate me on winning the championship." Pan Yi probably understood.
The relationship between Pan Yi and Ibrahimovic has remained good since their experience together at Milan.
Today, Pan Yi won the Champions League and won the seventh crown. It is normal for Ibrahimovic to congratulate him as a friend.
However, this is too impatient.
How can anyone congratulate you at such a time?
Usually, such calls will come one after another after the on-site trophy-winning part is over, including going around the field to thank the fans, and even after returning to the carnival in the locker room.
Forget it, maybe this is Ibrahimovic, who always doesn't play according to common sense.
Of course, it wouldn't be a good idea not to answer. After all, if you offend Ibrahimovic, you might get beaten up.
Pan Yi answered the phone, and Ibrahimovic's impatient voice came immediately over there: "Are you really not ready to renew your contract with Chelsea?"
"...Aren't you here to congratulate me on winning the championship?"
"There are so many people congratulating you on winning the championship, and I am not one more." Ibrahimovic said impatiently, "You answer my question first, are you not going to stay at Chelsea after winning the Champions League?"
Well, that's very Zlatan.
Pan Yi answered honestly: "I'm not 100% sure, but it's a high probability. And I'm really thinking about what to do next."
"How about I give you a brand new challenge?" Ibrahimovic looked impatient.
"What challenge?" Pan Yi was curious.
“Come to our Swedish national team and play in the 2016 European Cup!!!”
