Section 252 Breaking the formation
Giuseppe Rossi has been the team's main player this season. Except for a few special games that require him to rest, he rarely rotates. Although it seems that he is not as good as Milito in goals and not as good as Motta and Arshavin in the game, as an important member of the front, he is always able to make the best timely handling when he gets the ball up front, which Cavani can't do now.
Although Li Bin now lets Cavani play in the middle, he has a lot of pull-ups, which is similar to the way he played in the national team. In my memory, in the Uruguayan national team, it was Cavani who stayed on the wing, Suarez retreated, and the front was against Frei's style of play, and the effect has always been good. And here in Parma, it's also used in this way, and the effect is quite good. Cavani is now just 20 years old, for the center forwards, 20 years old, is a minor, looks good, but there is still a lack of shoulders with the defenders, so Li Bin let him move more on the wing, but also to let him play better. It's just that Cavani under this arrangement, the tactical role is relatively monotonous, he has first-class physical fitness, and can play a strong role when pressing opponents, but otherwise, his role is difficult to reflect.
If it is a pressing style of play, he can naturally show a strong effect, relying on his own repeated impacts, running at the expense of physical strength, he can bring a great threat to the opponent's defence: there is good news to have a striker who is willing to run, there are not many strikers who can play the role of a-stirring stick, and there are even fewer-stirring sticks who are very skilled.
However, Parma chose to counter-attack in this game, and his role was much smaller. The current Cavani is not enough to stand up front without problems, and at the age of 20, the center forward has basically not grown up. Moreover, because the pace of the game has slowed down and the number of offensive and defensive rounds is less, even if he can suppress Lahm's wing, Parma has no intention of attacking back and forth with Bayern, and the crushed defense line can be made up, which makes his role much smaller.
It's a pity that among Parma's strikers now, except for one Cavani, no one else has much effect. Milito had exhausted his energy in the previous few days of the game and was unable to play, and these two men were already the best situation for Parma. Although the immature Cavani is not very good, Li Bin is absolutely unwilling to let Li Bin use the more difficult Matri in such an important event.
Since the use of players is not satisfactory, then how to deal with the hidden problems in this game, Li Bin also has to think about it.
After the start of the game, the battle between the two sides was not so fiercely pressed, but they controlled the game firmly in the backfield, but everyone on both sides knew that the more such a seemingly calm style of play, the easier it was to qualify. The more calm, boring, dull, and mental slackening becomes, that's when the game begins to distinguish between winners and losers.
"Parma's tactics for this game were very different from usual. It seems that the problem of physical strength has a great impact on them, but I don't know what their tactics will be like in this game? Cavani didn't move much on the wing, and it looked like he was going to focus on the middle, but with Heathfield in the middle, Parma didn't necessarily have an advantage......
Karachi noticed, and Heathfield was able to notice. He's always wondering what Parma's style of play will look like. The counter-attacks are also varied, who will Parma rely on? By the center? Stay on the sidelines? Leaning on the midfield? These ideas are possible, but if you think about it, it's not without any problem, who knows what kind of kick they will use when they reach the top?
Heathfield is not in a hurry at all: he is playing away, and even a 0-0 draw in this game is not a loss for him, so what is there to worry about? Therefore, he is also trying to keep his team down and not too fast.
But Bayern didn't move, Parma did.
After a few consecutive balls, Motta finally stopped staying in the backfield, he took the ball, slowly pressed, the pace was not big, the speed was not fast, but it immediately pressed through the center circle - Bayern's defense, the same tight, when Motta is not strong forward, there is no big problem. Motta didn't do much to cut in, he slotted the ball to the left and Arshavinla got the ball on the side.
Do you still have to rely on the left side to counterattack?
In this regard, Heathfield is a little puzzled, if the other side still has Rossi and Arshavin, you can do a small cooperation in the ribs on the left side, form an offensive, the left foot skills of the two people are very good, a little to form a match interspersed with the ribs, it can be regarded as a threat, but now, the other party has no one who can cooperate in the ribs, all relying on an Arshavin sudden, it is ridiculous to want to break through Bayern's defense. That's not a good idea, is it?
If it weren't for the fact that the opponent was indeed a well-known coach, Heathfield might have really suspected that the opposing coach had not had time to make any more arrangements and had to rush into the game, so that the players were still playing with an inappropriate style of play. However, Li Bin is also a little famous now, so Heathfield also wants to take a good look at it and see how he arranges it.
Arshavin got the ball and sent it straight into the box. Crespo and Cavani ran towards the box together, but Lucio managed to grab the first point and head the ball out.
Is this trying to rely on two highs and eat the middle lane? Heathfield understood this.
Parma does not have Rossi, and there is an important point missing in the middle, but although Cavani is not as good as Rossi, his header ability does have to give birth to a lot. At 10 centimeters tall, he can be a header threat in the middle, and Crespo is one of the best headers in the world. Therefore, Li Bin's tactical change is to let the two players in the middle start to attack with a header from the middle together.
Lucio and Van Bitten are both big and tall centre-backs, but that doesn't mean they both have strong headers. Although Van Bitten has a height of 196cm, but the shot of being pressed by the 183cm Klose to score a header is one of the classic goals in the Bundesliga this season.
It's just that this approach against my team is still a bit too risky.
Heathfield believes that if the opponent is Magat, Li Bin's tactics may be able to play an extremely effective role, and that guy's defense is not very reliable. However, although Heathfield has not been in charge for a long time, it has also carefully built defensive tactics for Bayern, and now Bayern is still not too difficult to defend against Parma's attack.
Although Lucio has always had a frizzy problem, he still rarely has problems in important games, and Heathfield firmly believes that Bayern can now defend Parma's attack.
And sure enough, as he thought, Parma's players, no matter which one of the midfielders, after getting the ball, all passed to the left. Arshavin was on the left flank, and every time he got the ball, he also tried to pass the ball to the middle, trying to get the ball into position, and let Crespo and Cavani head home.
It's just that this style of play is really not efficient, so after two failed attacks, Heathfield didn't pay much attention.
In just three days, it is still a little too difficult to change the attack tactics that have been practiced for a long time from beginning to end. Rossi's injury is not at the right time, and it seems that it will have a great impact on Parma.
However, just as his thoughts flashed through his mind, Parma's attack was no longer the same.
Arshavin's long pass, instead of kicking the ball towards the penalty area, he seemed to pass it wide, straight to the right. Zabaleta cut in and got his hands on the ball, but this time, it was his cross that kicked it out.
This kind of attack without changing the soup has not attracted much attention from Bayern. This time, however, Parma's forward movement was different.
Cavani was still rushing forward, but Crespo took a step back at this time.
Instead of flying towards Cavani, the ball made a small arc and landed outside the box. Crespo received the ball there, and then slid it straight to the left, so that Arshavin, who ran up, received the ball.
Pressing the opponent's backline with one striker and another striker stepping back to organize the team's attack - this kind of play, in fact, is not difficult at all, and it is very common on the football field. However, Parma's first few attacks, all of which were straight and straightforward, were simple and straightforward, did not expect the Bayern players to use this method to create chances. Bayern always thought that they would open up the situation and create goals with a left attack, but no one expected that they would play the idea of a wide range of transfers and the strikers retreating! Zabaleta's insertion seems random, it's just that the player who crosses is changed, but this frees up Arshavin's position, when Zabaleta crosses, he runs to intersperse, and Cavani and Crespo have been rushing forward when they fought for headers in the first few times, but this time they divided the running position, which is obviously also a carefully calculated position by Parma!
Even without Rossi, Parma can still rely on the remaining players to play a delicate combination and tear apart Bayern's backline! Heathfield only regretted it at this time, the other party is not the kind of coach who relies on players alone to become famous, the opponent's tactical arrangement is very set, and he still has a way to break through the enemy formation!
Lucio was deceived by Cavani out of position, and there was only one Van Bitten in front of Arshavin, who did not eat alone, he took a step towards the baseline and then kicked the ball back to Crespo.
In front of the penalty spot, Crespo received a pass, he swung his left foot, and made a gesture to kick it to the bottom right corner, but then he wiped his foot back, and then picked up the ball with his foot - the ball flew directly to the top left corner, and this wonderful feint shook Kahn out of the air, and Crespo shot the goal!
“gooooal!!!! Parma scored the first goal and took the lead! Crespo!!!! He scored Parma's first goal! ”
