Section 336 Meet again
After the Champions League match, Magath's frantic remarks made almost all the media point at Wolfsburg. It is very outrageous for a layman to fight in a foreign war, and he dares to speak disrespectfully, which is simply disgusting. But no matter how many mistakes the media can pick out Wolfsburg, the league is not carried out by Wolfsburg and the media after all, their enemy is Bayern, and the team that can make Wolfsburg lose hope of winning the championship can only be Bayern, and no one has any objection to this.
After the Champions League match on 13 February, the league match between Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich is also getting closer. This game is the most important focus of this season, and it has also attracted the attention of countless people.
"This game is clearly going to be a watershed moment in the league competition. As long as they cross this threshold and win, Bayern will be six points ahead of Wolfsburg, and it is basically certain that they will not be caught up by Wolfsburg again. Under pressure, Wolfsburg is likely to collapse early, so that Bayern can have enough experience to deal with the Champions League competition, and can wash away their shame last year with more titles.
Of course, nothing else can be done, and the media can still guide public opinion. Before the game, the media further commented on it. Although they seem to be neutral, as a team that has won glory for their country in the Champions League, Bayern have undoubtedly received the blessing of the media. The words "road to salvation" and "great revival" were put on Bayern's head by the media without hesitation, which also made Bayern's victory look meaningful, and made the neutrals more inclined to Bayern's victory.
Moreover, the media at this time believed that Bayern would win. More than one reason. Out of the great revival of the team, they also moved out of the emotional factor. Bayern head coach Heynckes is about to have a thousand games in charge. The game against Wolfsburg was his 999th game in charge. This match is also quite monumental for him.
"This victory is also the best gift for Heynckes. In the 999th game, he defeated the league's biggest rival and steadily moved towards the league title, and Heynckes' prestige and strength deserved such an honor. ”
Although the media are usually boasting about how strong Bayern coach Pep Guardiola will be next season and how he will lead Bayern to a higher level, but at this time. Heynckes' celebration of a thousand games, they just didn't want to miss it. It's going to be the thousandth game soon, and before that. It's best to practice with Wolfsburg first.
It's just that although the media is optimistic about Bayern's victory, they even think that Bayern has many reasons to win. But. Bayern are clearly not so proud. When the game started. Standing on the pitch, looking at Bayern's lineup, Gao Shunyao was guessing Bayern's specific thoughts.
As expected, Bayern's squad did make a lot of rotation because of the excessive physical exertion. Looking at their rotation, Gao Shun can only sigh in his heart: the words of the media not only did not discourage Wolfsburg, nor did it make Bayern complacent. Obviously, Bayern know what they're here for.
Bayern's adjustments. Prove their pragmatism.
The goalkeeper is still Manuel Neuer, which hasn't changed, but at the back, they have made some changes. Lahm and Dante are still there, but the other two positions have changed. In this game, the central defender rotated to Van Bitten, while the defender on the other side became Alaba. The old and young duo replaced Boateng and Bad Stuber, who had played in the previous meeting, and started this game.
Of the two, Bad Stuber is not available, and there is nothing wrong with that: he has also been injured recently and will not be able to play again. However, Boateng, the absolute main force, was put under the pitch, and there are some problems here.
Obviously, against Arsenal, Bayern did not win as easily as one might think. Although it seems that they proved themselves with victory, the consumption of the players in the game is definitely not small. As the main defender and also a heavy task, Boateng actually rotated and rested in this game, and it is clear that in the midweek game, Bayern consumed a lot, much more than people seemed.
And this substitution, in addition to letting people see Bayern's physical exertion, also made people see some other things: Dante and Boateng cooperate very well, the two of them work together, even if the physical strength is poor, they can cope with most games. Heynckes chose to make a substitution at this time, and his purpose is also obvious: he was worried that their defense would not be solid enough when the physical exertion was too high, because he was replaced by the experienced Van Beeten.
It can be seen from this that Bayern does not think that they must win. On the contrary, they take the defense of their backfield very seriously. Playing steadily and steadily, not giving Wolfsburg a chance, this is the mentality that Bayern has now.
And Bayern's midfield, too, proves this.
Their midfield was similarly adjusted, with Heynckes putting on three central midfielders in one go. Piggy and Tonik Ross are both used normally, and the last person is not Javi Martinez, but Gustavo's adjustment, which also makes people see some clues.
The three central midfielders, and instead of Javi Martinez, who is well-rounded and defensive, Gustavo is more defensive, also proves that they are not as confident as the media thinks. Their three central midfielders are all players who can play in the back, not to mention their defensive skills, their defensive attitude is also very good, and there is absolutely no problem with execution.
These three people play at the same time, in addition to wanting to replace Javi Martinez, who is too physically exhausted, one of the biggest reasons is probably that the three of them are distributed in the midfield, and if Wolfsburg wants to break through, the difficulty will be greatly increased. Although it is said that after the three of them play together, Kroos's position is also relatively forward, and their arrangement cannot be regarded as a back three, but when it comes to actually kicking the ball, I am afraid that the effect is similar to that of the three backs.
Solid defenders, three defensive midfielders - compared to the arrogance of the media, Bayern's attitude can be described as extremely low-key. Against Wolfsburg, they didn't want to fight for a win and wash away their shame, Heynckes is a pragmatic person, he wants to win the game.
Bayern consumed a lot of money in the game against Arsenal, and with such a big consumption, they can't blindly attack anymore. Although the media has been boasting about their strength, when facing Wolfsburg, Heynckes decisively chose a more secure defensive counterattack. Again, for this purpose, Arjen Robben was also rested for this game, with Bayern Munich's wings being Muller and Franck Ribery, and at the front of them was their recently introduced striker Di Santo.
If you don't have the idea of attacking, Ribery's breakthrough point is actually enough. Although Robery is good at posing a great threat to opponents, it is also a constant fact that being too strong in the front will inevitably affect the defense in the backcourt. To bolster some of his defenses, Heynckes opted to rotate Robben. Even if there is only one breakthrough point for Ribery, but with the support of the two offensive types of Rahm and Alaba in the backfield, he can also make a strong breakthrough, which may not be much worse than the last time they met.
With Di Santo in front of him, Ribery also has a lot of tactical changes around him and can also play. Although Di Santo is not strong, he is very obedient after coming to Bayern, which is enough to play a tactical role. What's more, Bayern also has a Muller in the frontcourt, and his keen sense of smell can do a lot of things in the frontcourt, which is a very good combination from a tactical point of view, although Di Santo may have some problems because he has not been able to fully integrate with Bayern, which is enough to worry Wolfsburg.
Tactically speaking, there are no shortcomings in their lineup. What's more, they still have Robben, Xavi Martinez, Boateng and other outstanding players on the bench, which is enough to create pressure: Robben's breakthrough, Xavi Martinez's all-round are terrible, even if they are on the bench, they will still give people pressure. With a person of Robben's level, when Wolfsburg was playing, he was afraid and didn't dare to be too happy, in case his strength was consumed too early, and Robben came up to wreak havoc, it would be a nightmare.
Bayern's layout can be said to be very good: obviously there are Robben, Xavi Martinez and Boateng The three main players are rotated, but their overall lineup makes people unable to see any flaws. Obviously, they consumed a lot when facing Arsenal, but through reasonable arrangement, all their problems were hidden, and it has to be said that Heynckes still has a considerable level.
A coach who has coached all his life, after all, is full of experience. With a thousand games on the horizon, Heynckes will not make the mistake of being proud and underestimating the enemy, on the contrary, he has played a good trick with the players he has in his hands.
Of course, on the other hand, Wolfsburg also has to sigh at Bayern's thick lineup. Three players who can add up to more than 100 million yuan have done the rotation, and they can still put out a good lineup. This thick squad is also another favorable condition for Bayern to compete for the title, with such a good squad, they should be a strong contender for the title.
It's just that whether they can win the championship or not, you have to ask Wolfsburg. Looking at Bayern's lineup, and then looking at his own lineup, Gao Shunyao also showed a smug smile.
Bayern's strength may be strong, but Wolfsburg's standard is definitely not bad. Even if Bayern is fully prepared for this game, it is not necessarily them who win in the end.
After all, Wolfsburg is not unprepared, for this game, they lost to Porto, not to mention, they also made careful adjustments when facing Bayern. They have also prepared a top-level trap for Bayern, waiting for Bayern to come in - looking back at Bayern's three-back style of play, and then looking at Wolfsburg's use of Shaheen as a starter, Gao Shunyao has reason to laugh.
In this game, both sides came prepared, but Gao Shunyao believes that the gift from Wolfsburg will surprise Bayern. (To be continued.) )
