Following Guardiola's instructions, Bayern's formation has undergone an absolutely rare change. Even the position of single arrow Lewandowski has gradually retreated to the center arc area, and the player in front has become Three fast horses: Robben, Franck Ribery and Thomas Muller.
Although these three are all well-known superstars in European football, in this situation, the proximity of the three to the front line is not a deterrent, but an insult to the top Bundesliga club.
"Is Guardiola going to choose defensive counterattack? Is he going to choose defensive counterattack? Bayern Munich actually choose defensive counterattack at the Allianz Arena? Choose defensive counterattack against Wolfsburg?"
Of course, the most dissatisfied is Bayern's commentary. This tactical choice is really insulting to the family style!
At the beginning of the game, the visiting team turned away and even forced the great goalkeeper Neuer to make consecutive saves. From Bayern's perspective, this is simply unacceptable.
Even Tulum began to question this tactical choice, but Guardiola was unmoved.
What he was waiting for was the opportunity he wanted to see.
Even with both Yi Zhe and De Bruyne, Wolfsburg is not really a team that is good at controlling the field. Heijing has integrated pressing offense into the blood of this team. The first reaction of the frontcourt players when they get the ball is to attack. The goal was launched, and the easiest way for Dost, who was 1.96 meters tall, was of course to bomb the penalty area... This old black man had already wasted several opportunities, and his skills at his feet were indeed a bit hard to describe. However, under Dante and In front of the two defensive high points of Benatia, the quality of simple and crude passes is not high.
The ball was cleared out of the penalty area, and De Bruyne wanted to catch the ball and launch a second wave of offensive, but at this time Javi Martinez squeezed up from behind, and the strong pressure instantly squeezed the unprepared De Bruyne. reclined.
Guardiola's eyes lit up instantly, and now was the opportunity he wanted - Lewandowski's retreat was not to ask him to play a defensive role, but to bring the formation back to give full play to Xavi The power of Martinez’s meat grinder.
So it was successful for the time being, and Bayern, who got the ball, began to launch a quick counterattack.
"This is a counterattack! Robben! Thomas Muller - this is the speed of Bayern!"
God knows how fast Robben is. He has already reached the frontcourt in a few breaths. In an instant, he formed a three-on-two counterattack in front of Wolfsburg's back line, and sent a precise pass to the ground to find Thomas Muller in the middle of the penalty area. Fortunately, captain Benario sacrificed his life to send his chest in front of the opponent and blocked a volley to save the day. However, the price was also very heavy. Benario lay down in front of the goal while clutching his chest.
At this time, Guardiola smiled: "Look, Domenech, although it may be Xavi, you know best, how can it be so easy to play Barcelona football? They don't have Iniesta!"
Apart from Cruyff, I’m afraid no one understands Barcelona’s passing and control system better than Guardiola. Xavi is the strongest brain, but the secret of the Dream Three Dynasties lies in the “little white” Iniesta who complements him to make the game possible. Barcelona's passing control is unrivaled in the world, but De Bruyne is obviously not such a person.
Yi Zhe is also aware of this problem. He has tried his best and just returned to the penalty area with his life. As a defensive midfielder, there is nothing to say about his duties, but it cannot continue like this.
"Kevin! Spread the word, spread the word!"
Yi Zhe subconsciously reminded De Bruyne that the solution he could think of was to pass the ball. No matter how dense the formation is, people can never be faster than the ball. But when he saw De Bruyne's noncommittal frown, he knew he would not convince him. After all, not everyone can accept Barcelona's football, so Yi Zhe directly penetrated to the front of the penalty area to open up space to attract the defense.
However, Yi Zhe soon discovered that coming to the edge of the penalty area was a problem. Bayern set up a six-man defensive system at the edge of the penalty area. Only now did he realize that the old saying is a wise saying - take a step back and the sky will be brighter, but he can control the arc in the center circle. The whole stadium. Even though the 3D dynamic map in his brain allowed him to see the positions of his teammates, there was a huge force pulling him from behind. When he looked up in front of him, he could almost see the feet of center back Benatia.
Heijing frowned for the first time and glanced next door. Guardiola and his assistants didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Ha! Pep, tell me you have seen this step a long time ago? But is such a tactic successful against such a child? You guy... Hahaha!"
Guardiola shrugged: "If this Yi can still do something in such a situation, then he is quite interesting."
It seems unremarkable, but Guardiola has already come up with ways to deal with Xavi. In the eyes of Guardiola, Yi Zhe at this time is the same as the humble Xavi, and no one can compare with him. He knows more about Harvey's secrets!
Yi Zhe's brain keeps spinning. Even under the high pressure of the penalty area, he never starts blindly. Although his shooting ability is not low, he is more willing to pass short and long passes - this is believing in science!
However, Benatia, who was almost robbed by the cooperation with De Bruyne around the penalty area, stole the ball. Fortunately, Gustavo made up for it in time.
But when the ball came to Yi Zhe's feet again, he called him a cheater. Behind him was the penalty area, and the 3D dynamic image in his brain lit up two brighter red dots on the sides and back - the two defensive players were less than one meter away from him!
It was almost impossible to control a delicate pass at this distance. Yi Zhe secretly gritted his teeth and suddenly pulled the ball and turned around. Almost at the same time, he gently knocked the ball behind him. Javi Martinez and central defender Dante were just about to take action. , the two of them were also determined to teach this new kid a lesson. The Allianz Arena is not something to be provoked! But they soon discovered how wrong they were!
This guy suddenly accelerated! The two of them saw the ball flying behind them with Yi Zhe's figure, and quickly turned around. Dante's reaction was quite good, and he subconsciously reached out to grab a handful, but it was of no use at all. Yi Zhe had already jumped one meter away, and suddenly exploded. Start accelerating.
"Yi Zhe! Turn around and wipe the two of them away! His control of the court space is unparalleled! And he is still accelerating!"
If facing Dante, he relied on his skills to penetrate the crotch, but this time facing Benatia who was lagging behind, Yi Zhe did not have any tricks at all. He slightly tilted his center of gravity and accelerated diagonally, quickly passing the ball through the opponent's two sides. Between the legs, it completely overlaps with his own running.
If Yi Zhe relied on the system in his brain before, this time he perfectly demonstrated the hard power of La Masia's A+ genius!
If everyone has already regarded Harvey as a template by default...
"Yi is definitely not Harvey!" Reese Lubet made this conclusion with his neck almost excited: "Xavi does not have such a violent way of passing people, he is Yi! He is Yi! Yi belongs to Wolfsburg --easy!!!!!"
The opportunity to face Neuer one-on-one so close is enough to make all Wolfsburg fans forget to breathe.
