Chapter 1063: Are You Playing a Turn-Based Game?
Because Real Madrid took the initiative to play a defensive counterattack, and Bayern Munich was obviously impetuous, coupled with the reason of underestimating the enemy, although there were many shots, but the number of shots on target was very small, which made this game a bit boring.
Of course, this kind of game will not satisfy many neutral fans, especially those who are not in Europe, they are likely to get up in the middle of the night to watch the game, but seeing such a game, it is not satisfying.
Thankfully, Real Madrid's first shot on goal was scored in fifteen minutes!
The situation was very simple, that is, after Gundogan assisted Marcelo to steal Raphinha, he passed the ball to Reus, and then Reus did not dribble the ball, and passed the ball directly to Di Maria, who used his speed and dribbling to take the ball to the left side in an instant.
Then things were even simpler, Di Maria crossed, and the three players in the Bayern Munich backline didn't touch the ball, but Benzema got it smoothly, and scored with an easy push.
1:0!
This goal was the climax of the first half, but also the most exciting part, after playing here, Real Madrid defended even harder, and even Benzema, Bale, Di Maria and Reus retreated to their own half.
In the words of the commentary, the "1000" formation began to exert its power.
Bayern Munich had a period of aggressiveness after conceding the goal, and had a great chance to score during that time, but it was blocked by Ramos.
This game, at least in the first half, lasted more than 40 minutes. Real Madrid's defensive performances are simply world-class.
No, it should be said that it is top-notch!
If Real Madrid's backline had been so reliable. I guess Zidane will laugh even more.
The score in the first half was finally fixed at 1:0, and Zidane was satisfied with this score. It's good that he didn't concede a goal, and being able to score a goal was actually unexpected by him, and it was a big gift from the other party.
And Pep Guardiola will definitely not be satisfied, if the away team ends with such a score, it will be too unsafe, in case of arriving at the Allianz Stadium and being scored first by Real Madrid, there is no place to regret it.
Zidane, of course, was also relieved. The game itself was a very risky move not to send Lin Yu on the field in the first half, but fortunately, he was right, Bayern Munich deliberately jumped into his trap as if they had fallen into an evil spirit.
With such a furious attack in the first half, their physical strength will definitely be affected in the second half, so Real Madrid can send a real killer weapon!
Despite the time of the first half of the game. The Real Madrid fans at the scene were not very friendly, they kept calling Lin Yu's name and wanted Lin Yu to play, but Zidane, who only wanted to win, would not care about this. What's more, it's just some ignorant fans, so there's no need to care.
……
"The first half is over, first of all we would like to congratulate Real Madrid on their temporary one-goal lead. Secondly, we have to reluctantly admit it. I'm afraid there is really some contradiction between Lin Yu and Zidane, otherwise such an important game. How could it not be on Lin Yu? So much so that the fight is so ugly! ”
'This first half was good news for Real Madrid, but the question is if they continue to play like this, will they be able to defend themselves against Bayern Munich in the second half? Pep Guardiola still has a lot of cards in his hand. ”
"Pep Guardiola is no ordinary coach, he will never sit still, he will definitely attack in the second half, as long as Bayern Munich can get an away goal, even if he concedes another goal, it will be much better than the current situation."
"Lin Yu, Lin Yu, when are you going to play!"
……
Back in the dressing room, the Real Madrid players looked very excited, after all, it was not easy to score a goal without Lin Yu to lead Bayern Munich.
Zidane looked at Lin Yu and said with a smile: "Your strategy has worked, it's up to you in the second half, we have to let Bayern Munich know that we are not only good at defending, we are better at attacking!" Hehe, I believe Guardiola would never have dreamed that we would play like this in this game. ”
Lin Yu gave a thumbs up to Zidane and smiled: "Don't worry, boss, I'll let them know how powerful." ”
After that, Zidane analyzed the first half and let Lin Yu replace Bale.
Originally, it was said that Lin Yu would replace Benzema with Lin Yu after forty-five minutes, but Bale didn't sleep well last night and had a cold, so it didn't look very good in the first half, so Zidane improvised and replaced Bale with Lin Yu instead.
Of course, in order to maximize Lin Yu's attacking ability, Benzema was put on the side, and Lin Yu went to play center.
Anyway, in the usual game, Benzema has also played such a position, and there have been many times, and now Benzema is basically a frontcourt panacea, and he can't be regarded as a center, and his technical style is also more suitable for any position in the frontcourt, with speed, and the technique at his feet is also very delicate, and his shooting is also good.
"Hehe, I don't need me to say in the second half, you know how to do it, right? Being pressed for half the game, it must be very uncomfortable, right? Fuck it in the second half and beat the opponent to death! ”
"Don't worry, boss, we can't wait!" Royce clenched his fists and said.
In the first half, Real Madrid's style of play made him a little uncomfortable, after all, he is not a player who likes to be pressed, and now that the style of play is going to change, he will naturally be happy.
……
On the other side, in Bayern Munich's dressing room, Pep Guardiola analysed the game in the first half and then comforted their players, after all, conceding a goal, which is not a good thing in any case.
"It doesn't matter, just pull a ball back and we'll have an advantage!"
Of course, Bayern Munich's players are not bad in terms of mental quality, isn't it just a goal conceded, what's the big deal, it's a big deal to get it back in the second half. So for a while, Bayern's dressing room was also full of people. The players were very excited.
Guardiola nodded in satisfaction, then said: "According to my judgment." Zidane will definitely let Lin Yu play in the second half, but it will be 60 minutes later, after all, Benzema scored a goal and performed very well, and Zidane will hit the player if he is replaced now. And looking at Real Madrid's situation today, they are determined to defend and counterattack with us, so we will play with them and talk about attacking power. We're not going to lose to them! ”
In addition to encouraging his players, Pep Guardiola also made some changes to his squad, replacing the underperforming Raphinha and returning Lahm to the right wing-back position, in favour of Xavi. Martinez is a traditional midfielder to bolster the midfield.
A substitution was used like this, although a little unwilling, but Guardiola still felt that it was a good deal, because Bayern's right side was about to be blown up by Reus and Marcelo, although Real Madrid only scored one goal in the first half. In reality, however, there were more than five attacks from the left, and almost every shot was created.
Once Bale knocked the ball away in the face of an empty goalkeeper, which was caused by physical discomfort, which is why Zidane replaced Bale with Lin Yu.
Pep Guardiola clearly believes that Lahm is better defensively than Raphinha. And Harvey. Martinez can also strengthen the midfield's interception ability and will not give Real Madrid more counter-attacking opportunities.
……
It's not just the fans who are following this European derby. There are also a large number of players and coaches, and among them is a man who is bent on regaining his lost throne - Messi.
Messi's Champions League performance this season has also been very good. By the end of the quarter-finals, he had scored thirteen goals. Second only to Lin Yu's seventeen balls.
In this game, when he saw that Lin Yu did not play in the first half, he was a little excited, if Lin Yu did not score in this game, then at the same time tomorrow night, he could step up the catch up against Bayer Leverkusen.
Compared with Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen's promotion to the quarterfinals this season is pure luck, so it is also known as the gift package in the quarterfinals, Messi believes that he can score at least three goals on Bayer Leverkusen, so that he can close the distance with Lin Yu.
……
Except for some people who knew the inside story, the rest did not expect that the second half of the game would be a sudden change.
Lin Yu came on the field and replaced Bale, and Real Madrid even put on a posture of attacking Bayern Munich, which directly made Guardiola dumbfounded.
He didn't understand, even if Zidane didn't mind the conflict with Lin Yu and wanted to send Lin Yu on the field, there was no need to play so early, the first half was over, this Zidane was really scheming, he was a battle-hardened person, he was actually tricked.
To his surprise, there were many more things, Real Madrid played in the second half and the first half were completely two teams.
If Real Madrid used a defensive formation in the first half, then in the second half, they switched to an attacking formation.
Attack after attack, wave after wave of suppression, quickly pulled back the possession.
The original possession rate was basically 80%:20%, but after the second half, only ten minutes passed, and the possession ratio became 6:4, but Real Madrid had the advantage.
Although the media has been criticizing the ineffective possession of the ball lately, and whether the team wins or not depends on the efficiency of the goal, not the possession, but Real Madrid's possession is not the same as Bayern Munich's.
Bayern's possession is very similar to Barcelona's possession back then, most of the possession is wasted on the useless inverted feet at the back, so it looks like the possession rate is very high, but the effective possession rate is actually quite pitiful.
Real Madrid is different here, their passing, rarely back or cross, most of the pass is forward, because of the long-term training and cooperation, so that the familiarity between the players is very high, and the passing error rate is also very small.
And even if you really make a mistake, you can quickly form a counter-attack and then grab the ball back, so the ball looks like it's at Real Madrid's feet most of the time.
What's more, Lin Yu's dribbling breakthroughs are very numerous, occupying a lot of possession time to a large extent, and his breakthroughs are not indiscriminate, they are all breakthroughs with purpose and ideas, so that Real Madrid's threat has obviously increased a lot.
Originally, Bayern Munich's players were going to attack at the beginning of the second half and want to get back the score, but they were suppressed by Real Madrid, which made them obviously flustered and overwhelmed.
Bayern Munich, which was made into a ball-control maniac in Europe by Pep Guardiola, was forced to become a bus team in the period after Lin Yu came on the field, and they all retreated to the backfield, and even players like Ribery, Robben, and Mandzukic went back to defense.
……
"Am I dazzled? Or is it something wrong? Bayern Munich, which had a strong offensive in the first half, has now become an out-and-out bus team, and it is difficult to even counterattack! Is it because of a Lin Yu? ”
"Are these two teams playing turn-based games? You attack it, I attack it? ”
"No, no, no, no, I can see that today Guardiola lost in the fight with Zidane, completely lost! And it's completely played by Zidane! (To be continued......)
