Chapter 634 - Brought to the Rhythm
QPR disrupted the opponent's tactical intent by pressing high post, but QPR's own possession tactics were not carried out.
When Heynckes saw QPR playing possession, he immediately instructed his players to press and prevent QPR from being comfortable with the ball.
The tacit understanding between the Bayern Munich players is still very good, and they make up for each other in a timely manner, making it difficult for QPR to open the situation through passing, so Modric and Rico in the midfield began to send through stoppers frequently.
A through ball is a dangerous way to pass the ball, and if you don't penetrate the opponent, you will give up the ball and give the opponent a chance to counterattack.
The pace on the field is getting faster and faster, you come and go.
Simeone watched the situation a little depressed and kept waving his hands to ask the players to slow down, slow down, and not be led by the opponent.
But the QPR players are still too young and unconsciously follow the rhythm of their opponents.
In the 24th minute of the game, Rico's through ball was intercepted halfway, Bayern Munich played a fast attack, Ribery broke through with the ball on the left side and immediately sent a cross, Dante assisted to the front of the header ferry, Muller relay leaped to the top, Handanovic could only look at the ball and sigh.
Bayern Munich, playing at home, took the lead.
"Muller Goallllllll! Bayern Munich, who are playing at home, played very positively today and they also received positive feedback! QPR didn't play in the same style today and was tactically dismembered and Simeone had to find a way right away. ”
While the Bayern Munich players celebrated, the QPR players were still a little ignorant. Obviously, it seems that his side has some advantages, why did he suddenly lose the city gate?
Simeone saw it very clearly, this was due to Bayern Munich's speed to the extreme, which made QPR's offensive and defensive conversion sluggish, and the defense line exposed holes.
When Dante was heading, Muller was unmarked.
If you continue to pick up the speed and play this game at a fast pace, such a scenario will definitely appear.
However, if it continues to play like this, QPR also has a chance.
So...... Or just do it?
Simeone pondered for a moment and decisively gave instructions to the players.
Don't play ball control anymore, play fast attack, fast offensive and defensive switching!
In the 29th minute, Bayern Munich made a mistake in the front court, and QPR immediately handed the ball to the feet of Neymar on the right side after breaking the ball and played a fast attack.
Neymar dribbled the ball smoothly, but the speed was not slow at all, and he ran a distance of dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
Schweinsteiger struggled to catch up and finally caught up with Neymar when he was close to the baseline, but Neymar shook the ball away and crossed with his left foot.
The ball goes over the defender's head, over the goalkeeper, and over the back post. Ricardo outflanked the spot, headed the ball over, and the ball hit the net at the top!
"Ricardo Goalllllll! Five minutes after Bayern Munich's goal, QPR equalised! The two teams played with a wide open and passionate scene, and the goal came as scheduled! The commentator exclaimed, "I bet we can score in this game!" Looking at the posture of the two sides, we may be able to witness a goal shootout today! ”
But Simeone gave instructions as the team celebrated, asking the team to slow down, pick up the weapons of possession again, and try not to concede another goal in the first half.
In the 32nd minute, Bayern Munich took a corner kick into the penalty area, and Dante headed the goal and hit Neymar.
However, the referee did not notice this, and QPR escaped.
Three minutes later, QPR counter-attacked, Ricardo cut inside with the ball and was tripped by Boateng in the box, and the referee continued to make no indications.
Ricardo only complained to the referee twice, and did not chase after him. Maybe the referee is trying to find a balance.
By the end of the first half, Bayern Munich also slowed down the pace of the game, and QPR began to be able to control the ball, and the game gradually entered the familiar track of QPR.
However, Bayern Munich's defense is quite well maintained, and QPR, like Barcelona in the last game, maintained possession and kept besieging, but it was difficult to break into the opponent's penalty area.
Ricardo was able to use his individual ability to break into the penalty area, but Bayern Munich defended him heavily, leaving Ricardo with nothing to do.
The rest of the offensive players were targeted, and it was difficult to get out of the gap.
Simeone touched his chin and was silent.
He asked the team not to invest too many offensive forces in the game, and always keep the defense intact to avoid being beaten back.
The team did execute his tactics, so there weren't many people who stepped forward to assist Ricardo, resulting in too few points for Ricardo.
If you want to attack, you have to take the risk of conceding a goal; If you want to defend, you have to take on the weakness of insufficient offensive forces.
There is no such thing as having it both ways.
Simeone believed that with Ricardo's personal ability, he could fully achieve the breaking point and play more with less.
But today's Ricardo is clearly not excited enough, and there are few shots that use his personal ability to break through.
Going into halftime, Simeone laid out the tactics for the second half, and then found Ricardo to communicate alone.
'Your goal was brilliant and your movement was fantastic.
"Thank you."
"But I want you to do more. It's a draw, but you can tell it's not a good deal. If we want to get away from home, you need to pay more. ”
Ricardo thought for a moment and said, "Diego, are you mentally prepared for me to rest in the next league game?" Frankly, I did have a bit of a problem with my fitness reserves, so I wasn't excited enough. I need a break, Diego. ”
The next round of matches is the 35th round of Premier League matches, and QPR is away to Reading.
Simeone pondered for a moment and said: "If you don't mind your goalscoring record, I can give you a rest, I'm sure we can win away at Reading." ”
Ricardo has now scored 40 league goals and provided 13 assists. With four league games remaining, he has every chance of beating his previous season's record of 44 goals.
"It doesn't matter if it's a small thing like that," said Ricardo with a smile waving his hand, "and if the team can win the double, I can give up any personal honor." ”
"Okay, then do it." Simeone was sure.
After the start of the second half, QPR immediately launched a high press, and Bayern Munich did not give up an inch, and the two teams fought fiercely.
Both sides were given a number of opportunities to counter-attack on the spot.
In the 49th minute, Bayern Munich made a successful steal and launched an offensive from the right side, Robben broke through the bottom with the ball and crossed, Muller nodded the ball back in front of him, and Gomez flanked the header in the middle of the relay. Thankfully, Handanovic was brave enough to hit the ball out.
Two minutes later, Ricardo won the ball on the left and burst into the box, and when he could get up and shoot on his own, he distributed the ball to the right side, and Neymar followed up with a shot that hit the side-netting, missing a great opportunity to take the lead.
