Section 491 Control
Attacking from the right flank, he attacked all the way, and after six passes, the left midfielder scored the ball into the goal. Wolfsburg's attack, even if it is pleasing to the eye, such a beautiful attack, at the feet of several players of Wolfsburg, the interpretation is extremely smooth, and it also makes the audience of the game excited for a while.
In this game, Wolfsburg played really well. In the face of Bayern, and Bayern, who seized the opportunity with strange moves at the beginning, Wolfsburg can play so well, which is indeed very unexpected.
Olich's retreat clearly made a great difference, as he dropped to the flank, allowing De Bruyne to move to the middle, and eventually produced a beautiful attack. The veteran has used his excellent experience to help his team, and even when he is in attack, only having a return pass and a not-so-beautiful cross, his credit is irreplaceable.
And when it comes to credit, the greatest credit is naturally none other than De Bruyne. From running without the ball in front of him into the penalty area, to smashing the ball and passing in the middle of the box to create a fighter, De Bruyne contributed greatly to this attack. His movement and passing successfully linked the wings and midfielders, allowing Wolfsburg's attack to form a multi-point situation that went hand in hand, creating the biggest threat. It can even be said that this time to break the door of Bayern, it was achieved through his efforts.
As a player who has just moved to Wolfsburg for less than half a season, it is indeed very difficult to be able to [have such a performance]. After all, it is possible to connect the whole team with one-on-one strength, break through Bayern's defense, and knock on Bayern's door. This is not an easy task. Over the course of a season, Bayern played 30 league games. There are very few people who can do such a thing, but De Bruyne can make them suffer. It's not easy.
Around the stadium, the Wolfsburg fans also cheered at De Bruyne to break through Bayern's door, which was not an easy task. Wolfsburg lost and drew against Bayern this season, and it wasn't until this goal that they regained some of the thrill of raising their eyebrows.
It's just that not everyone thinks he's done a pretty job with this ball. While the Wolfsburg fans cheered him on. Some people also believe that Bayern conceded the goal, in the final analysis, it is Guardiola's responsibility.
"If Pep Guardiola's game was not a sudden reminder of the need to use fast attack tactics, but insisted on possession of the ball, maybe Bayern would have done it a long time ago. I had to suddenly change the formation before the war."
The narrator was halfway through his speech, and the words stopped. He is reluctant to find fault with Guardiola's mistakes, but he still has a lot of criticism about Guardiola's approach. In its view, Guardiola's temporary change of formation is really a stupid trick. Played possession for a season, and basically didn't lose a season, how can I play such a game at this time
This practice. Simon, the commentator, was puzzled, and in his opinion, if Guardiola stuck to his previous tactics. So the result of this game, it is estimated that Bayern has already won.
Pep Guardiola's change of formation. He could not understand, in his opinion. It's just an act of looking for something to do.
However, he also overlooked an important issue: Guardiola's change of formation was not because he was bored. The reason why he changed the formation was because he realized the shortcomings of his team in the previous match against Paris. To think that Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich will not lose if they don't change their formation is a boring idea in itself: just before today, they did not change their formation against Paris, and it is not that they were almost beaten by their opponents to reach the last four of the Champions League
If you don't change the formation, you will definitely be able to win Wolfsburg, which is not very reliable in itself: the last time Bayern and Wolfsburg met, Bayern did not change the formation, and in that league game, they used possession tactics, but the final result was still just a draw. This time, Wolfsburg began to put on a posture of all-round stubbornness, and unlike the last game, they did not have multi-line pressure this time, and they could go all out to steal the goal. Wolfsburg are stronger than in the previous game, while Bayern's weaknesses are even more obvious, and if Guardiola continues to play possession, it is really hard to say what the outcome will be.
Pep Guardiola's tactical overhaul at Bayern, at least this season, has not been particularly successful. He improved the team's stability, but he didn't pull up the team's line. And such failures are not problems that can be remedied in a short period of time. Pep Guardiola himself has realized that it is not easy for Bayern to be able to play control in the short term, like Barcelona, in the face of top teams such as Real Madrid, and his reform is now in crisis.
Barcelona's possession tactics are very successful, and a large part of the reason is that long-term training rather than short-term quick Cruyff reformed the youth training system in Barcelona, allowing La Masia to adhere to the fixed 433 ball control tactics for many years, starting from the youth team to cultivate talents step by step, insisting on ten years as a day, selecting talents from young people little by little, using the same tactical system, absorbing players who can adapt to their tactical system, and these players have also become the core members of Barcelona's ball control tactics. This is also the most essential ingredient of their success.
Ten years of consistent training, it's a very difficult thing to do. 78-year-old Puyol, 80-year-old Xavi, 82-year-old Valdés, 84-year-old Iniesta, 87-year-old Messi These players are from the same training camp, but there is a difference of nearly ten years, and naturally it is impossible to come from the same age echelon, but they can cooperate tacitly and be familiar with the same set of tactics on the field, which is largely due to the training system of their youth team.
From goalkeeper Valdés to Messi and Pedro on the front line, their success did not rely on a coach's sudden reform, but behind this success was a long period of accumulation and persistence. Pep Guardiola may have spearheaded this reform, but he relied on the resources provided by Barça, rather than the magical tactical changes that were expected from him. However, these are the resources that Barcelona can provide, which are precisely difficult to learn.
In modern football, that's hard to do. Developed information has contributed to the speed of tactical innovation, and frequent transfers have led to more brain drain, all of which have a great impact on youth training. Moreover, even if you want to be so persistent, it is a more difficult task to have the same vision as Cruyff and find the right tactics.
Besides, even if all these are done, it will take ten years to be able to produce results, and it is still very impossible to achieve results in a short period of time. After Barcelona's success, the whole world is clamoring to learn from Barcelona, but many years have passed, and it is not so easy for anyone who really learns Barcelona's success and wants to become a possession team in a short period of time. All other coaches have failed, and neither can Pep Guardiola, a master of possession.
No matter how good a chef is, at most he can only make a fish flavor with vegetarian dishes, but it is impossible to make real fish with vegetarian dishes. The game against Paris has proven that Pep Guardiola's possession tactics have not substantially improved Bayern's quality. Although their team played more steadily when they were abusing vegetables, they did not show further strength after encountering top teams. And since they can't be crushed against Paris, how can they expect the team to win against Wolfsburg
Of course, Wolfsburg may not be as strong as Paris, but if it is against Bayern, then Wolfsburg may not be worse than Paris.
Pep Guardiola knows very well that if there is any team in this league that is not convinced by Bayern, then in addition to Dortmund, it is estimated that only Wolfsburg dares to say such a thing. Even if Bayern won the championship four rounds ahead of schedule this season, no team in the entire league can show enough competitiveness in front of them, but those two teams will definitely not be afraid of Bayern because of this.
Against Bayern, they will have to rack their brains to win. In terms of strength, Wolfsburg is not much worse, and tactically they must be more targeted, and if they really want to play possession, they are afraid that Bayern will die faster.
He wants to reform at Bayern, at least not so successfully this season. And maybe this reform will continue in the future, but the key game can no longer be experimented.
So, he changed his tactics in the middle of the game and allowed the team to play a quick counterattack. And this tactic also had a certain effect, bringing them a goal. However, they also had some trouble because of this, and they also conceded a goal.
However, even so, the score is only 11, and such a score is not the end for Bayern. Pep Guardiola is not one of those media outlets who are full of confidence in him but inexplicable, he doesn't think Bayern can fail if they can't win more than three, and he knows how difficult Wolfsburg can be a tough opponent.
Standing on the sidelines, he didn't look frustrated by the goal, instead, Guardiola turned and walked to the bench to let his substitutes warm up and get ready for the pitch. Wolfsburg's goal certainly put Bayern's lead off, but it also made Pep Guardiola aware of the team's problems. Wolfsburg's victory over Bayern does not mean that Bayern have completely failed, on the contrary, for Bayern, it just means that some changes need to be made.
Pep Guardiola realizes that the fast-break tactic requires enough defense to completely block the opponent's attack. Wolfsburg's near-433 formation has strengthened their midfield too much, and they need to defend better to win. And once he realized this, he didn't hesitate in the slightest, and almost immediately let Martinez start to warm up and get ready to go on the pitch to defend.
Since there is a problem, then make up for the problem, this is the best idea of the competition. If someone is attacked in the middle, then let Martinez come on the field to defend, which is what Guardiola immediately thought. Bayern's attack is still very sharp, as long as the defensive shortcomings are filled, then Wolfsburg still can't win.
In this regard, Guardiola's remedy is very timely. It's just that Wolfsburg is obviously keeping its own back. To be continued
