Chapter 745: A good start
"Good chance, Tony Cross long pass!"
"Luis Suarez!"
Tens of thousands of fans throughout the Glory Stadium raised their heads and saw on the big screen, on the green football field, Toni Kroos made a precise long pass from the backfield, quickly passing the ball from the front of the big penalty area to the half of Bayern Munich.
Almost as soon as he passed, Suarez quickly sprinted past Dante.
By the time the Brazilian centre-back reacted and wanted to turn and catch up, Suarez had left him far behind.
But Bayern Munich don't have just one Dante on their defence.
"Jerome Boateng defends!"
The two were racing fast in the Bayern Munich half, and Jerome Boateng didn't lose to Suarez at all, and even used his strong body to squeeze the Uruguayan striker.
But just when everyone was worried about the contest between Suarez and Boateng, suddenly a figure flashed in front of them.
I saw that Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Kraft didn't know when, but he had already rushed out of the big penalty area.
"Ahh
All the Saints fans in Glory Square let out a cry of surprise.
Because Suarez has no chance against Boateng and Kraft.
But just when everyone thought it was over, Kraft chose to head the ball out.
It was only then that everyone realized that he couldn't use his hands!
According to the rules, after the goalkeeper rushes out of the big penalty area, he can't use his hands!
Kraft also realized that his move out of the penalty area was dangerous, so as soon as he cleared the ball, as soon as he landed, he immediately turned and ran back to goal.
But after all, it was a head, and the ball that cleared the ball did not fall far.
And just when the ball was about to land, he rushed forward with Suarez just now, but the speed was relatively slow, and Ibrahimovic, who was lagging behind, rushed into the 30-meter area of Bayern Munich at this time.
As soon as he saw the ball flying out, he immediately accelerated and rushed up.
"Ibrahimovic!"
I don't know who shouted this, and then I heard a bang.
I saw the Swedish center facing the ball and shooting a volley!
Kraft was fast enough to get back to goal, but no matter how fast he was, could he be as fast as the ball?
As he ran back into the six-yard box, Ibrahimovic's volley had already sent the ball into the bottom of the net!
Stunned!
Everyone was stunned at this moment!
It's only been less than ten minutes since the opening, and Bayern Munich has made such a stupid mistake!
Kraft was dumbfounded, looking at the ball beating in the goal in a daze, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cellar.
He was scared at first!
He knew very well how reckless and even stupid that sortie had just been!
Because even if he doesn't attack, Suarez will not be able to pose much of a threat with the advantage that Jerome Boateng has just held, but his attack has given Ibrahimovic a chance to open the net.
Jerome Boateng, who had chased back to the goal, scooped the ball out of the goal and fired it directly into the sky, venting his anger without even looking at Kraft.
And the Bayern Munich fans in the entire Allianz Arena seemed to suddenly wake up and let out an overwhelming wave of boos and even curses, obviously expressing dissatisfaction with Kraft!
"Stupid, this is an unfathomable mistake!"
'The Academy goalkeeper has been controversial since Kraft became Bayern Munich's first-choice goalkeeper, and he has had great performances but has often made some bizarre mistakes, which is hard to reassure.
"This time, his nerve knife has struck again, and it was in such a crucial Champions League semi-final!"
'1-0, Bayern Munich gave Southampton a valuable away goal after a poor mistake by the goalkeeper in the opening eight minutes.
"Pep Guardiola also seems very dissatisfied, such a mistake is very undeserved, as a manager, he should have calculated more, but the goalkeeper has such a mistake, I'm afraid it is not within his calculation!"
In the air, >, the voice of the TV commentator was transmitted.
On the big screen, Southampton players celebrated, especially Ibrahimovic, and even cheered past Pep Guardiola, giving manager Bielsa a tight hug on the sidelines.
This is a demonstration!
Ibrahimovic is going to use this way to tell Pep Guardiola, it's not that I'm incapable, but that you're not qualified to use me!
Outside the big screen, more than tens of thousands of Saints fans were already so excited that they sang and shouted.
The entire Glory Square was filled with the cheers of the fans.
1 to 0!
In just eight minutes, they had a one-goal lead!
What could be a better and more desirable start?
…………
…………
The moment Yang Huan scored in Ibrahimovic, the whole person seemed to be electrocuted, jumped up from his seat, clenched his fists, and made a celebratory gesture full of excitement.
"Amazing, wonderful!"
"Well done, Zlatan!"
"But no, volley, that's great!"
"This goal is so crucial, the first shot of the game scored on goal, what a good start!"
Compared with the praise of the Southampton management, Bayern Munich's top management seems a little lonely.
The club's interim president, Herbert Heiner, pointed to the pitch with great rage, "What did Kraft do?" Such an important game, such a stupid mistake at the beginning? Didn't he know how important this game was? ”
The chairman of Adidas is obviously angry, there is wood?
When Yang Huan sat down again, Beckenbauer also took over.
"Actually, this goal, Kraft's mistake is really stupid, but before that, our team's problems were also serious!"
"That's right!" Rummenigge continued, "Southampton's defence was very targeted, Ribery was alone on the flank, and after the ball was broken, no one pressed Toni Kroos in time. ”
"It can be said that Toni Kroos's accurate long pass played a key role, even if Kraft did not make a mistake, the battle between Suarez and Boateng is unknown!"
When you reach a superstar of Suarez's level, will you suddenly surprise you, I can't figure it out at all.
With the rapid changes on the pitch, Boateng and Suarez are one-on-one, who dares to say that they will win?
But at the mention of Tony Kroos, Rummenigge is a little embarrassed.
It was they who sent Tony Kroos to Southampton in the first place, and despite the whopping €60 million in exchange, it was a very successful deal by any measure.
However, looking at the players I have cultivated and helping the opponent score goals at their own home stadium, that feeling is really slap in the face and very embarrassing.
'Everyone's focus is on Kraft's mistake right now, but Pep Guardiola should be sober enough to notice the team's current problems, otherwise Southampton will continue to threaten!' Beckenbauer said in a serious analysis.
But it is clear that with the resumption of the game, Pep Guardiola also realized the core problem, as Bayern Munich's management said, and immediately made changes to the team.
For example, put Schweinsteiger a little further forward.
Don't underestimate this adjustment, just move forward, Bayern Munich's attack in the front court will be much smoother, and there will be a connection point for the two wings of Ribery and Robben.
But the offensive has improved, but it does not mean that it can create a threat.
Southampton continued to use the same tactics as they did in the opening game, without the slightest intention of chasing after the victory, nor did they want to compete with Bayern Munich for possession and more initiative in the game.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, continued to control the game and continued to have a considerable dominance of possession, but there was no way to create a threat in front of Southampton's goal, which was indeed quite frustrating.
It also made Beckenbauer and others sitting in the chairman's stand shake their heads uncontrollably.
"We're too slow!" Beckenbauer sighed.
"Chasing possession too much caused us to be too steady in our passing, and we lacked speed in our advances, so by the time we got to the 30-metre area of Southampton, the Saints had already organised all three lines of defence!"
At this point, Beckenbauer sighed again, but this time the sigh contained admiration.
'Bielsa are so well organised defensively, very disciplined and every player is playing for the team, so they can have a back pair like Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, and if they move to another team, they have to have a strong defensive midfielder.
'The other two centre-backs are also quite good, Xavi Martinez is the head coach at the back, Varane's performance at the back is hard to believe, he has only just turned 21 years old, on the other hand, our backline, Dante is clearly not suitable for Pep Guardiola's tactics!'
Rummenigge also nodded frequently, feeling that Beckenbauer was very reasonable.
"We are sitting in the stands, the onlookers are clear, but in the stadium, Pep Guardiola may not be able to see clearly, and he needs to think more, but we have to make adjustments in the transition between attack and defence!"
"As Franz said, when we switched from defense to attack, the speed of progress was too slow, but the problem of switching from attack to defense was even more serious, we couldn't get the ball back in the first half of the field, and we didn't even press the opponent in time."
"Southampton's double midfielders and midfielders have the ability to plan a counterattack at the first time after the ball is broken, so after they break the ball, they launch a long pass at the first time and play behind the defensive line, we will be very dangerous."
When Herbert Heiner heard this, he was a little worried, "Don't we have any other effective way?" ”
Beckenbauer and Rummenigge looked at each other, both helpless.
"There is always a solution to everything, but if you solve this, there will definitely be other problems, so the key is to see how Pep Guardiola views this game and how he prepares, arranges and trains before the game."
Beckenbauer has also been the head coach, and nodded very approvingly: "Southampton's counterattack must have been practiced, and it was hard practice, otherwise, Toni Kroos would not have gone to Suarez as soon as possible, and Ibrahimovic would not have been so coincidental to insert and form a second offensive echelon!" ”
'Pep Guardiola is in trouble right now, one goal down at home, he must attack, he can't attack if he doesn't, but now there is a problem with the attack, he can't penetrate into the heart of Southampton to create a threat.
"On the contrary, the higher the possession, the more mistakes, and the greater the probability of Southampton seizing the opportunity to play a counter-attack!"
"So, give up possession?" Herbert Heiner suggested.
Who knows, as soon as he said this, not only Rummenigge and Beckenbauer showed helpless embarrassed expressions, but even Yang Huan almost burst out laughing in his heart.
It should be said that Beckenbauer and Rummenigge were right in their analysis.
Seeing the game now, Yang Huan also had to sigh that Bielsa's targeted tactics were indeed extremely sharp, almost hitting Bayern Munich's dead hole and weakness.
At the same time, it also creates a big problem for Guardiola.
If they can't solve the lack of attacking power, the more possession they have, the more dangerous they become.
But if you don't control the ball, you'll die faster!
