Section 258 Fighting wits and strength
Li Bin's words, of course, are deceiving.
When Parma was at their home stadium, they played a defensive battle, and in that game, both sides played defensive and counter-attack, so after the game was over, many people also thought that Li Bin was a little jealous of Heathfield, so he said big things before the game, but he used anti-counter tactics in the game. In particular, Parma was relatively passive for a period of time in the game, which made people feel that Parma's strength may not be as strong as imagined, and they are still very cautious against Bayern.
If you analyze carefully, of course, people will know that Parma has played against giants a lot, and they have never been afraid, they have always been based on offensive tactics, and there are few times when they retreat, if it is not a physical problem, they will not choose to shrink at home. Li Bin said that he should defend with all his might, in fact, if you carefully analyze his past records, you will find that this is not a too reliable sentence.
However, Li Bin now has an advantage: his previous record is not large enough to form a sample, and with a 2-1 lead, it is indeed the best way to defend to the death, and Heathfield even if he does not believe that Li Bin will defend to the death, he has to consider this aspect: as a coach, you always have to think about the worst. Moreover, Heathfield likes to defend against the back, and it is certain that his personality is also relatively conservative, and most conservative coaches will not gamble particularly aggressively, which is also one of the bases for Li Bin's judgment.
Heathfield is a coach who likes to counter-attack with defense, but there is a big problem with counter-attacking football, which is that it is very inefficient when the opponent is also retracting from defense. If the two sides are Bayern with the advantage, Heathfield plays defensive counterattack, and it is Li Bin who scratches his head, but now that Parma is leading 2-1, Li Bin has released words to defend and counterattack, then, Heathfield has to find a way to score: a ball is also a ball, how to score a goal, this is what Heathfield has to consider.
If that's the case, then they'll have to kill it. Once they are out of the game, the defense at the back is not going to be very good, so Parma's chances are in hand.
Li Bin doesn't know whether such words can work, but it's better to say it than not to say it, Li Bin knows this very well. He didn't tell Esposito earlier, he also wanted to see what Bayern would do.
When the game officially came, Parma got Bayern's playing list, looking at the opponent's lineup, Li Bin still couldn't help but sigh: Heathfield is really not so easy to deal with.
Bayern's lineup has not changed much compared to the previous game. Their backline was largely unchanged, with just a small change up front, replacing Mackay with Podolski, and it was over.
Ma Kai is in the frontcourt, and the fulcrum role is still quite strong. This time he was replaced and replaced by Podolsky, obviously not for positional warfare. Podolski, a player, has some common characteristics of German strikers in recent years: rough skills, can't carry the ball, and can't be a fulcrum. Using him to play the ball, it is certainly not to attack in the frontcourt, speaking of which, his advantage is long-range shooting and running, basically unable to hold the ball in the frontcourt, and letting him play positional battles is asking for trouble, and his role on the field is to make trouble, trying to mess up Parma's defense. It seems that his words don't seem to have much effect, Heathfield is obviously a battle-hardened old fritter, he understands that his words are not worth believing, and he still has made up his mind to carry out the defensive counterattack to the end.
However, it is obviously a team that needs to score, and it dares to play defensive counterattacks...... Heathfield's courage is indeed big enough.
However, this also made Li Bin start to have some interest: Heathfield, what would he think? And how did he want him to arrange it?
Since the opponent wants to defend and doesn't want to attack, then, if it is normal, it is better to be careful. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, and if I hold it to the end 0-0, Parma will advance safely.
However, if an opponent like Heathfield is considered so simple, then it must be Parma himself who is unlucky. Li Bin was also a little vaguely aware of the opponent's thoughts: Heathfield is a big expert in on-the-spot command, and Bayern's team is thick enough. The most likely thing is that he will score a goal by relying on a sudden change of formation. And when is it most likely?
On the eve of the end of the game, around 70 minutes, it was the best time period, and from some past examples, Li Bin immediately thought of the answer.
In the last game against Heathfield, he suffered a loss from changing formations: Parma's squad has not much room for change, which is a serious problem. Bayern, on the other hand, are a bit better in this regard, so this is also a big advantage that they can take advantage of......
After sorting out the thoughts in his head, Li Bin also generally understood Heathfield's thoughts. The other party definitely wants to win, and also wants to win steadily, so he will definitely not sit still like this.
Well, you can't wait for them to attack...... Changing formations is indeed a very troublesome thing, how can you deal with it?
Li Bin also tried hard to think about the shortcomings of Bayern that he discovered, and at the same time, he applied a little bit to Heathfield's thinking. He found that he had never played a game before, and the coaching was so tiring, and the battle with Heathfield was indeed a battle of wits and strength. Such a top coach doesn't eat the usual routine at all, and if you want to deal with them, you must have a better way.
And after careful consideration, a somewhat bold, but very good idea, also formed in his mind.
When the game began, almost everyone was stunned by Parma's choice.
"Parma didn't choose to defend on the road, and they chose to attack from the very beginning of the game!"
Before the game, Li Bin said that he wanted to defend to the death, and in the game, Li Bin did not make more adjustments except for replacing Crespo and replacing him with Milito, many people think that even if Li Bin does not really want to defend to the death, it is estimated that he will know a little bit what it means to be restrained, and he was forced to be quite embarrassed by Heathfield in the last game, and people still remember. However, no one thought that Parma launched a crazy attack from the beginning of the game, and their offensive was obviously a little unexpected for Bayern: this is at Bayern's home stadium, Parma dared to choose to attack, where did they get the guts?
Since the opponent wants to see Parma defend to the death, then Parma will naturally not defend to the death. Heathfield wanted to hit Parma by surprise, but naturally Li Bin would not let them hold it so easily. Since they want to defend to the death, then, it's better to catch them off guard!
From the start of the game, Parma showed a very different momentum from the previous game. In the last game, Parma was just exhausted and did not have any ability to play pressing football, but in this game, Parma has been rested, and their physical strength is just right enough to play different games.
In the last game, Cavani barely played a wide role, and he was always playing a support attack in the middle of the pitch to help Crespo attack the goal. However, when it came to this match, his approach immediately changed. With the support of the midfielder, he immediately began to wreak havoc on the right flank, which also made Lahm feel the pressure immediately, and with his physical fitness, it was still a bit of a problem to resist the onslaught of a burly striker.
What disturbed him the most was that every impact of Cavani was not aimed at the safety of the real impact of the defensive line, and sometimes, Cavani simply sought physical contact as if he was looking for something to do. He was 15 centimeters taller than Ram, and his body was stronger, and every time he came into contact with him, Ram felt extremely uncomfortable, but what really scared Ram was what the point of him doing it was.
Cavani's impact is strong, but it won't be a problem for a while: although Lahm is not particularly good defensively, he has an excellent ball intelligence, and Bayern's defense is better than Arsenal's, for a team that has stood in a position and firmly stuck its position to defend, such an attack is not a big problem. But Ram knows very well that if this continues, then his physical exertion will be very great. If it really goes on like this, I'm afraid that my team will really have no physical strength.
Heathfield's idea is to let the team start to counterattack at the last moment, but the current Bayern, if they are suppressed by Parma, will not have the slightest strength to play counter-attack.
Defence is always more physically demanding than attacking, Parma's players control the ball, they can press when they want to, but when they don't want to, they can also take a little lazy rest with the ball in the back. Milito and Cavani take turns pressing, Arshavin or Toure can also come over to play together, but every time they press, Bayern has to mobilize the entire defense line to defend them, and in this way, Bayern's physical strength is much earlier than Parma's.
Obviously, the opponent not only anticipated Bayern's thoughts, but also arranged a good way to deal with Bayern, and their attack was not only for attack, but also for defense.
Also seeing this is Heathfield, who is standing on the sidelines. He also understood that Parma's tactics, although they are offensive tactics, are offensive instead of defensive, they want to rely on more stable ball control and pressing, to force Bayern to consume more physical strength, if they continue to play like this, then, really after 70 minutes, Bayern's physical strength is estimated to have no strength to launch any counterattack - their physical strength will not allow them to do so.
But if you attack now...... Heathfield is also worried that Bayern, who are not prepared enough, will be beaten even worse by Parma. Obviously, the claim that Parma are good at attacking is not a pretense, they are very strong, and they are indeed very bold, and they dare to attack Bayern on their home turf, which is not easy. Li Bin naturally had his preparation for doing this. Heathfield thought about it for a moment, but decided not to move right away, but to take a look first.
This also made Li Bin laugh: Since you want to strike later, then, I'll take the lead. I know you're good at variety, and you can make a difference in your team to create a big advantage. But, Mr. Heathfield, have you overlooked that there are other problems with your team that happen to be the ones I can exploit?
