Section 406 New Bayern
In the friendly matches before the start of the season, Wolfsburg has been playing quite well, although their opponents are not as conspicuous as Bayern's Hoeness Cup opponents, but the friendly matches are originally a game to test the state and tactical arrangement of the players, everyone is not very serious, it doesn't matter how the opponent is, their own strength is the key.
In those games, although they exposed Gao Shunyao's poor form, but only in the game, Wolfsburg has always played quite well. Their strength has not dropped much compared to last season, which has also been verified. But in the end, they still lost the crucial Super Cup, obviously not because of their problems, but because their opponents had quietly changed when they didn't change.
Wolfsburg has not changed much, but Bayern has changed dramatically compared to last season. There is already a big difference between their players and last season's squad, and this gap is exactly what Wolfsburg did not expect.
In terms of the lineup, they still have Neuer in the back, and Lahm, Boateng, Dante and Alaba form a defensive line, which basically has not changed much. However, their frontcourt has changed from 4231 last season to 4141. In the front field of Bayern, Thiago, who has just been transferred, served as Bayern's single back, and in front of him are Robben, Muller, Kroos and Shaqiri in a line, and above the forward, Gomez, who has been injured for a long time, returned and served as the main starter.
In addition to Ribery and Gotze, who are injured and unable to play, Bayern have obviously made a lot of changes in other positions. In particular, the adjustment of their back waistline is simply surprising.
This lineup is indeed somewhat unexpected. Originally, Wolfsburg thought before the game that even if Guardiola wanted to make changes immediately after arriving at Bayern, at least he would have to wait until the team was familiar with his tactical thinking and the players' playing style had changed before making reforms. However, the speed of Guardiola's reforms can be called rapid. In Bayern's game, Piggy and Martinez, who were the main players last season, were directly put on the bench, while Thiago, who had just arrived, sat in the main position.
Single back waist. It was still a young man to start, which made Wolfsburg a little unexpected. And Wolfsburg also quickly found out that in the face of this style of play. They seem to have made a terrible choice.
Bayern have turned their tactics into a one-man style of play, with the obvious aim of enhancing their attacking power. And if you think about it a little, you can know that the single back style of play is definitely unstable at the back, and Bayern does not have the ability to control the ball in the front of Barcelona. There is also no tacit cooperation of Barcelona for many years. At this time, if you increase your attack power and face their onslaught, then it should also have a good effect.
If Wolfsburg really plays like that, then the chances will be great. But the problem was that before the game, Wolfsburg was adamant that Bayern would use the same tactics as last season, so they lined up. It also requires their players to defend strictly and counterattack. But. The strict defensive style of play seems to be a little inadequate against Bayern, who have strengthened their attack, Bayern's attacks are higher and higher, and in the face of their offensive, Wolfsburg can't resist it at all.
The tactical arrangement itself went wrong, and it is not difficult to predict what the outcome will be. Compared to the out-of-form strikers, that's the biggest problem for Wolfsville.
It didn't take long for Wolfsburg to concede their first goal. In an attack by Bayern, Robben on the wing rushed up with the ball, made a simple coordination with Kroos, and stabbed directly into the penalty area. In the box, Gomez immediately rushed forward, trying to find an opportunity. Bayern's attack was ferocious from the start, and Wolfsburg's defence was severely challenged.
Last season, Wolfsburg could compete with Bayern and even win, but it has to be said that their victory was largely due to the lack of Bayern personnel at that time. And now Bayern has changed a lot compared to last season, although they still haven't got the Lewandowski they want, but even Gomez can pose a lot of threat.
In order to keep an eye on Gomez, Kjaer had to keep an eye on him, and his behavior also caused a slight loosening in the backline. And as we all know, in front of someone like Robben, the slightest chance is very dangerous.
After seeing the opportunity, Robben did not hesitate at all, he took the ball, cut into the penalty area with one foot, and relied on his skill and speed to directly tear apart the Wolfsburg defense. His shot went straight to the near corner of the Wolfsburg goal, and the ball was so fast that it didn't give the Wolfsburg players time to react before they broke through the goal.
Just five minutes into the game, Wolfsburg was caught off guard by Bayern and put them at a disadvantage in the game.
And this is obviously just the beginning, Bayern's attack did not stop with a goal. On the field, Thiago, who controls Bayern's possession of the ball and has always dominated the attack, is obviously not willing to be lonely, and he is also on the pitch, actively looking for opportunities to attack.
Soon, after getting the ball once, Thiago walked forward with the ball. Makoto Hasebe in front of him immediately stepped forward to grab the ball, but in the face of the pressing, Thiago suddenly accelerated to avoid Makoto Hasebe and kicked the ball to Shaqiri, who was cutting inside.
His long-distance straight ball close to the ground was quite risky, but it was a good offense when he kicked it out. After Shaqiri got the ball on the side, he also rushed towards the box with the ball, trying to make the most of the opportunity. The new coach has a new atmosphere, and he also hopes that he can fight for more opportunities at Bayern, and he takes the game very seriously.
And like him, he takes the game very seriously, and Gomez. In recent times, the rumours that Bayern are crazy to buy the striker have undoubtedly been quite a blow to him. He is Bayern's main striker, but in recent times, many players have been linked with Bayern, but people have not mentioned him, obviously because they already think that he is useless after injury. Such an evaluation. He is also very difficult to accept, this game, he also wants to create some miracles of his own.
Two players who are not willing to be mediocre. It was a great interaction – Shaqiri on the wing didn't rush to pass the ball, but rushed all the way, as if trying to repeat what Robben had just done. At this point, Naldo could only intercept him, trying to prevent him from breaking further into the defence. And his movement allowed Shaqiri to take advantage of the flaw, and Gomez also got rid of Kjaer's marking at this time, right in front of the goal. Shaqiri sent the ball to Gomez with a pass, who nudged it into the corner and slotted it into the back of the net.
The game lasted 20 minutes. The score was already 2-0. In this game, Bayern's offensive ability and fighting spirit are obviously extremely admirable. Pep Guardiola's revamp to the team has indeed paid off, at least offensively.
And the biggest problem with his transformation is that it weakens the defense. But it's on the side of Wolf Castle. It has not been effective in the offensive. While they were also trying to break down their opponents' doors with quick counter-attacks, it was clear that those attacks didn't work well. Both of Bayern's defenders are tall enough to be at a loss against them in the air. Whether it is Gao Shunyao or Mandzukic, the confrontation with them is not particularly advantageous.
In addition to high-altitude balls, Bayern also defended Wolfsburg's long-range shots very well. Neuer's form on the ball was also excellent, with high and low blocks barely giving Wolfsburg any chances. A goalkeeper who plays a metamorphosis. It is enough to make people helpless, and Neuer once again verified this truth.
The only goal for Wolfsburg. It was at the end of the first half that Rodriguez came up with a solution – and after a few unsuccessful attempts at high balls, Rodriguez also thought of a new way to attack. After getting the ball on the wing for the first time, after a quick dribble breakaway, he didn't choose to cross the ball in the air, but directly kicked a half-high ball to Perisic on the wing. This kind of attack is a bit troublesome for Bayern's tall defenders, Perisic wiped the ball to the middle, and then directly gave it to Gao Shunyao in the middle. Gao Shunyao got the ball with his back to the goal, then turned and swiped it, let Dante's defense, and returned the ball to Perisic who was cutting forward.
This kind of central coordination will definitely not be able to play in front of Bayern, who double-backed Bayern last season, but this season, they can do it - although Gao Shunyao may have physical problems, his brain is not confused.
This beautiful cooperation between the two finally made Bayern's backline loosen a little. Perisic, who dribbled forward, crossed the ball and passed it out again to Mandzukic at the far post. Standing at the far post, Mandzukic immediately made a quick push into the near corner similar to Robben, and the door of Neuer's defense was finally lost.
With a score of 1-2, Wolfsburg seemed to see some hope. But as soon as the second half began, their hopes were quickly dashed. In the second half of the game, Guardiola replaced the somewhat inactive Kroos and replaced him with a piggy, he was also quite active in the forward position, and when Wolfsburg took the ball and was ready to counterattack, he directly grabbed the ball in the front court, and after getting the ball, he shot directly and kicked the ball out!
His shot was blocked by Naldo in the box, but he also caused chaos in front of the box. Muller, who was inserted in the back, got the football, carried the ball forward, and shot with one kick, successfully turning the score into 3-
The score of 3-1 also became the final score of this game.
"Bayern used their new tactics to create a beautiful victory. From the 4231 sea-style Bayern to the new melon-style Bayern, they defeated stronger opponents with stronger attacks. Compared to last season, Bayern are stronger, even Wolfsburg is no longer their opponent. ”
Bayern's victory caused a lot of praise from all the German media. The win over Wolfsburg was definitely great news for Bayern. Last season, the only one in the entire Bundesliga who could beat Bayern was Wolfsburg, and this season, Wolfsburg lost cleanly in front of Bayern.
Bayern won the championship honor with this onslaught, as if telling the whole Bundesliga that they are now unbeatable.
It's just that, at this moment, there are people who don't think so - at least, Wolfsburg players, don't see it that way. (To be continued.) )
