"Pan Yi's targeted arrangement is really fun."

After seeing Pan Yi's provocative little finger stretched out to him, Guardiola quickly understood Pan Yi's intention for this adjustment.

From a back three to a back four, and at the same time, the defensive midfielders have also changed from one to two at the back, and the number of ball points in the backfield has increased instantly, which has greatly relieved the pressure on Chelsea's midfielders to take the ball.

Bayern's attacking group, even if they were able to run, would struggle to steal the ball from six men at the back of Chelsea.

After all, these people at Chelsea are all very cooperative, and if the pressure is fruitless, it will only be a waste of physical strength.

And, with Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta shrinking back, if Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben continue to push on top, the space behind them will inevitably become even bigger and Chelsea's counter-attacks will be more comfortable.

Another point is that after this adjustment, Chelsea has formed a combination of double back + double central midfielders in the middle, and the position of the three lines will be more balanced, and it will be more difficult for Bayern to make a fuss in the ribs and middle of the Blues.

And if forced to play long passes, only Lewandowski has a strong ability to compete for the top on Bayern's front line, and others like Robben, Ribery, including Muller, are difficult to compete with Van Dijk, David Luiz and others on Chelsea's side.

In other words, after Pan Yi used this trick, he almost thought about Guardiola for a long time to break Chelsea's opening tactics!

This also makes Guardiola feel a little helpless.

Pan Yi is just a change of formation when he is on the spot, which is worthy of the tactics he has been thinking about for a long time, this son is so terrifying!

Of course, Guardiola doesn't have to worry too much about it now.

After all, after such a change, although Chelsea's defense in the middle is more solid, the attacking firepower on both wings has also dropped significantly.

Both wing-backs have become regular full-backs, and they are positioned further back.

In this way, as long as Bayern does not rush forward, Chelsea will not be able to get any decent attacking opportunities.

So, Pep Guardiola danced again on the sidelines and began to remind his players.

Especially on Robben and Ribery's side, you must pay attention to your position and don't be lured into the hinterland by your opponent, thus revealing a large gap behind you!

So, in the next ten minutes or so, the scene of the game began to calm down.

Chelsea, for their part, steadied themselves and began to control the ball at the back before pushing forward in layers.

Bayern, on the other hand, moved away from pressing frantically up front and instead thwarted Chelsea's advance in midfield.

The two sides have developed a balance of power.

This is also the situation that Pan Yi wants to see.

Or rather, the scene is now moving in Chelsea's favour.

Otherwise, if you keep playing like you did in the first ten minutes, Chelsea really won't be able to withstand it! ——

"Pan Yi played beautifully and successfully resolved the encirclement and suppression of Guardiola Opening."

Mourinho in the stands nodded and said.

Today's Champions League final is tantamount to a duel between two managers who are the most tactically savvy in the world, and naturally attracted many peers to watch the game.

In addition to Mourinho, who is about to go to Manchester United, there are also Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger...... There are even former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, among others, who have come to the San Siro.

At the beginning, Bayern dominated the field, which was actually a bit surprising to the famous coaches, but it was understandable.

After all, Pep Guardiola knows Pan Yi better than anyone present, and it's understandable that he was able to develop an opening tactic that worked well for Chelsea.

But Pan Yi's response was even more amazing.

You can see it from the recent change in the situation on the field.

From being continuously attacked into the penalty area by the opponent in the first ten minutes, full of dangers, and unable to even hold the ball, to now being able to stabilize the defense, hold the ball, and even continue to push forward to start a counterattack, which proves how effective Pan Yi's adjustment is.

'But from my point of view, Pep Guardiola also took the initiative to slow down the intensity of the pressing, which gave Chelsea a chance to breathe.' Borussia Dortmund's current boss Thomas Tuchel said.

Tuchel has a relatively low status among this group of managers, but he is also one of the best among the younger generation of coaches.

He took over as head coach of Mainz in 2009. In 2010/11, he led Mainz to a seven-game winning streak in the Bundesliga, and Tuchel made a name for himself in German football.

Following Jurgen Klopp's departure from Borussia Dortmund, Tuchel also took charge of the Westphalen Stadium and followed in Klopp's footsteps to coach the Hornets.

It's just that Tuchel is not the man who can lead the team to win the Champions League and win the best manager in the world.

Due to the lack of European opportunities, there are still relatively few encounters between him and famous coaches, so he does not understand the game between Pan Yi and Guardiola.

Hearing him say this, his "ex" Klopp shook his head and said: "Do you think Pep Guardiola wants to slow down? It was a last resort. After Pan Yi changed the formation, if Bayern still attacked like at the beginning, it would only be themselves who would suffer. ”

Everyone nodded.

Everyone can see this.

Tuchel is clearly still a little too tender now.

"So what should Guardiola do?" Tuchel frowned, "Just give up the attack?" Isn't that exactly what Pan Yi is doing? ”

'I think Pep Guardiola's response now is just a temporary compromise and he must still be thinking about how to score as soon as possible. Wenger pondered: 'We all know that against Chelsea if you don't score as soon as possible, you tend to get into dangerous situations. ”

Jurgen Klopp, Carlo Ancelotti, Van Gaal...... and other people who have suffered losses in front of Pan Yi's Chelsea team nodded one after another.

At this time, Ranieri, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, suddenly stood up: "Look, Bayern's formation has changed again!" ”

Everyone looked at it, and sure enough.

At the time of their conversation, Guardiola had already completed a series of deployments on the sidelines.

Thomas Muller was pushed up the front line and formed a two-front strike with Robert Lewandowski.

Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery remain the same in the attacking position, but Vidal is in the same position as Xavi Alonso in a back two.

Bayern's current formation has become a 4-2-4!

It's a very aggressive formation!

This also made the coaches present exclaim: "He's crazy? It's going to kill you! ”

Indeed, even if everyone could feel that Guardiola was holding back some skills, they didn't expect it to be such a big move as soon as it was released!

The tactics of four forwards and two midfielders show Guardiola's attitude and determination for this game.

He made it clear that he wanted to go out and try to score a goal from Chelsea in the first half, when the team was still fit.

If you don't achieve your goal, you won't give up! ——

Not only the famous coaches in the stands, but also in front of the coach's seat of the home team, Pan Yi was actually a little surprised.

Guardiola's move is really a bit of a ruin.

In most cases, the 4-2-4 formation is only used in a few games where there is a clear distinction between strength and weakness, commonly known as the "Abuse Game".

Because although such a formation looks beautiful and has super attacking power, due to the disadvantage of the number of midfielders, it is actually difficult to take advantage of opponents of equal strength.

Not to mention that Bayern is actually slightly inferior to Chelsea in terms of overall strength!

And if it's really in a close contest and one side uses 4-2-4, it's often because they're behind in the game and need to score in desperate need.

But now that this Champions League final is still in the first half, and the two sides have not scored, Guardiola has sacrificed such a fighting team, which is naturally very surprising.

Pan Yi was surprised, but he was not panicked.

He's seen a lot of big scenes!

After thinking about it for a while, Pan Yi probably guessed the reason why Guardiola had the confidence to do so.

It's not just about fighting for your life.

Due to Pan Yi's change of formation, Chelsea's current 4-2-2-2 formation is to accumulate a large number of troops in the middle, which makes it difficult for Bayern's central attack to use its hands and feet.

Therefore, Pep Guardiola decided to simply abandon the attack in the middle and instead concentrate the firepower on the sides, that is, to hit Marcos Alonso and Azpilicueta!

After changing to 4-2-4 in this way, in addition to the original fullbacks Alaba and Lahm, Bayern's Muller and Lewandowski in the forward line can also better support Ribery and Robben on the wings respectively, and carry out fixed-point blasting of Chelsea's two full-backs!

In other words, under such a formation, whether on the left or right, Bayern can form a situation where three attackers correspond to one full-back to play more and play less.

This is a different from the strong-side overload that is sometimes used by coaches, as Bayern's attack will not focus on one side, but on both sides with 3-on-1, which makes it even more difficult for Chelsea to defend against.

It can be said that Bayern's change of formation this time is actually a very effective change after Guardiola changed to 4-2-2-2 against Pan Yi!

"Awesome." Pan Yi couldn't help but praise secretly.

Even he couldn't figure out Guardiola's thoughts at the first time.

His on-the-spot response is also very fast!

And this is also a kind of display of football charm on the field.

A lot of people watch the game and only see the wonderful performances of the players.

It could be a clever pass, or a very dangerous attack, but of course they'll be thrilled with a world wave or a one-man goal......

For a professional football coach, they see more and more three-dimensional.

They will see that their team has lost ground in a certain area, or that their tactical flaws have not only been exposed by their opponents, but also exploited by their opponents.

Therefore, they have to think and react immediately, otherwise such a tactical flaw will quickly turn into a deficit in the score on the field.

This is similar to the commander-in-chief on a real battlefield.

On the battlefield, the soldiers are close to each other, and the artillery fire is continuous, and in many cases, it depends on the comprehensive quality and combat ability of the soldiers.

However, the commander-in-chief's command role is to allow his own side to form a force advantage, or to give priority to the opponent's most threatening firepower points, so as to occupy an advantage on the battlefield.

Maybe in the end, the most dazzling on the battlefield are those 1VN "God of War", but the soldiers on the battlefield understand that following a commander who is good at battlefield tactics is their way to survive!

And now, today's Champions League final is a battleground in full swing.

Pan Yi and Pep Guardiola are each leading an elite force and are fighting to the death.

The two of them arranged their own formations, each trying their best to attack the opponent.

At the beginning, Guardiola rushed to attack, and Pan Yi lost the opportunity and could only be forced to retreat, but at the same time changed his tactics, making Guardiola unable to continue to attack.

Guardiola failed to achieve his tactical goal and was not reconciled, so he changed tactics again and continued to press and attack.

If Pan Yi's trick to crack Bayern Munich's tactics just now is exquisite, then Guardiola's step-by-step pressing is also excellent.

Moreover, in this rush attack, Guardiola found the weak point of Pan Yi's troops, so it can form firepower suppression in some areas.

If Pan Yi can't deal with it in time, then these defensive positions with weak troops are very likely to be lost!

The fact that the situation on the field has changed again now also proves this.

After Bayern Munich changed the formation to 4-2-4, the overall formation moved forward, and the front court once again accelerated the pressing intensity.

After all, Bayern now has four genuine strikers alone, plus two midfielders pressing forward, it is possible to watch Chelsea's current backfield six-man ball system one-on-one!

And once Bayern Munich grabbed the ball, the first thing was to resolutely hit behind.

Muller and Lewandowski took turns to threaten, and even Ribery and Robben frequently pulled to the middle to shoot from a distance.

In just five minutes, Bayern had three chances on goal, including one of which was Robben's in-cut shot into the far corner, which flew off the bottom line between the post and the crossbar, causing another exclamation from the fans.

"It's unbelievable."

'It's been 20 minutes and Bayern Munich have had six shots on goal, but Chelsea haven't had a shot on goal so far, which is unbelievable.

"We all know that Pan Yi's team has always been known for being the best at opening attacks, but in this Champions League final, they were very embarrassed by Bayern Munich's opening, and they didn't even have a shot on goal for 20 minutes, which is simply incredible."

'Bayern Munich started the game so well that they almost pinned Chelsea into the half.

"Bayern's performance since the knockout round has been better and better, and this one was even able to suppress Pan Yi's Chelsea so badly, which is really unexpected, and Guardiola's reputation as a master tactician is really well deserved!"

"Ah, look at the field, Bayern Munich has attacked again."

'Xavi Alonso crossed to the left, Ribery chased down the left, chased the ball on the left side of the box and passed it back.

"Vidal got in and fired a long-range shot!"

"It was too right, but it was very powerful."

"Courtois was in a good position and he didn't take it off this time, but held the ball firmly in his arms."

'After a small mistake in the opening period, Courtois had already saved a number of dangerous shots. Or to put it another way, if it weren't for Thibaut Courtois's brilliant performance, Chelsea's goal might have been broken. ”

"This also shows that Courtois, the Belgian international, is really mentally strong, he is not affected by his mistakes at all, and he is still playing at the highest level!"

"On the flip side, it also shows that Bayern Munich's attack after the opening kick-off was really fierce, and it feels like Chelsea haven't quite found their rhythm and form yet."

"But it's a Champions League final! If the Premier League champions don't recover and settle their ground soon, I'm afraid they will lose this game. ”

"We saw Pan Yi walk to the sidelines again, seemingly waving at Courtois and the players at the back, shouting something."

"It's ...... Changing formations again? This will be the third formation that Chelsea will use for this game! From 3-5-2 to 4-2-2-2 and now I don't know what formation...... And the game is only 20 minutes into it! ”

"These two teams combined, in those 20 minutes, have shared five formations! What an exaggeration! ”

"If you're a football coach, or just a fan who has learned football tactics, you're probably going to be content today. Because today is going to be an exciting showdown between two football tacticians! ”

"Of course, Pan Yi was forced to change formations frequently, which also shows that he also feels unprecedented pressure when facing Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich."

"After all, under Bayern's aggressive attack, Chelsea haven't even had a shot on goal, which is definitely not in line with the strength of this six-time champion who dominates the Premier League."

'Okay, we've seen a change in the position of the players on the pitch at Chelsea.

'Harry Kane seemed to drop back into midfield and form a two-man midfield position with Eden Hazard. Lukaku was left alone up front. ”

Bernardo Silva, who was originally standing in the forward midfield, also dropped back one place, standing with David Luiz and N'Golo Kante, and became a back three.

"There are no changes to the back four...... It's a 4-3-2-1! Christmas Tree Formation! ”

"Hey, isn't Guardiola now playing Chelsea's two wings, why did Pan Yi instead use such a formation with the center of gravity in the middle?"

——

"No, it's not a Christmas tree."

In the stands, Mourinho said categorically.

Seeing the puzzled looks from many people, Mourinho further explained: "Just like Pan Yi's 4-4-2 just now is not the traditional 4-4-2, but 4-2-2-2, his 4-3-2-1 is not a traditional Christmas tree. ”

"You see, Chelsea's current back three, N'Golo Kante is obviously on the left, and B is on the right."

'Ahead of them, Eden Hazard is also on the left, while Harry Kane is on the right. In other words, Chelsea's position now is to deal with Pep Guardiola's 4-2-4! ”

"On this side of Chelsea's left, for example, in addition to full-back Marcos Alonso, there are N'Golo Kante and Eden Hazard on his side, which is at least a three-on-three balance with Bayern's Arjen Robben, Muller and Lahm."

'And don't forget, Chelsea also have a centre-forward Romelu Lukaku up front, and he's in a flexible position right now, so he can support one of the wings at any time.'

"In this way, Chelsea can form a four-on-three advantage on the flanks in a short period of time!"

After Mu Shuai's analysis, all coaches also suddenly realized.

They are all old rivers and lakes, although they didn't understand Pan Yi's intentions at the first time, as long as someone said it, they would immediately understand it.

Then, after a little more thought, they will understand the brilliance of this trick.

As a result, the celebrities invariably exclaimed:

"High, really high!"

——

Pan Yi's formation change effect was also immediately reflected on the field.

One obvious change is that the two full-backs, Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso, are spread wide and almost always close to the touchline to get the ball, which has forced Bayern Munich's entire central midfield to pull away.

Then, the combination of N'Golo Kante or the B-seat could further allow Chelsea to play down the wings.

This time, Chelsea's goal kick was played by Courtois directly to Cesar Azpilicueta, who ran back to pick it up.

First Azpilicueta dribbled forward on the right, then David Luiz immediately moved closer to his side, and after attracting the defence, Bench B played a one-two with Azpilicueta to get Azpilicueta close to Bayern's baseline.

That's when he met Bayern Munich's left wing-back Alaba but he didn't panic because Romelu Lukaku was also pulled to the right to pick up.

After Lukaku came over and made a pick-and-roll move to help Azpilicueta block a passing space, Azpilicueta went straight to the ball and crossed the ball low down the wing.

In the penalty area, Harry Kane, who ran over from the other side, penetrated Bayern Munich's defense like a bolt of lightning, and shot directly without waiting for the ball to land.

"Harry Kane! Volley, dangerous !!! The narrator exclaimed.

"Ah, Neuer made a magical save! He lifted Harry Kane's volley over the crossbar. ”

"From the slow motion, it can be seen that Neuer only touched the ball lightly with the tips of his fingers, and this little touch was enough to change the trajectory of the ball a little bit, so that it could not score the Bayern goal."

Harry Kane looked extremely depressed. It was a beautiful shot and a tricky angle, but Neuer was really good, too composed, and used his fingertips to lift the ball out at the crucial moments. ”

'Chelsea have Courtois, Bayern have Manuel Neuer! It's really a matchup between two of the best goalkeepers in the world! ”

"Even though both sides haven't been able to score yet, the goalkeepers on both sides still contributed a great performance!"

After seeing Neuer pull out Harry Kane's volley, Pan Yi raised his hands high, looking a little depressed.

This shot was a tactical success.

After abruptly changing their formation to a 4-3-2-1 pseudo-Christmas tree, Chelsea also shifted their focus to the flanks and immediately exploited the opposition's lack of timely follow-up to create a simple, effective and highly threatening attack.

But the problem is that sometimes football is not something you can win with good tactics.

The performance of the players is also important!

Harry Kane's follow-up shot was not untimely, but it was still blocked by Manuel Neuer.

"NND, so that Guardiola will definitely have a guard, and next time it will not be so easy." Pan Yi scolded secretly.

There is no doubt that Pep Guardiola is indeed a superior opponent.

Especially at this stage, after studying and learning Pan Yi's tactics, Guardiola is definitely more difficult than the Gua Shuai in his previous life.

But Pan Yi still had a smile on his face.

Isn't that what he wants, the real final?

There is a challenge, there is fun.

If it's all a crushing game, it's too boring.

Only by really defeating a complete Guardiola, or even a "futuristic" Guardiola, in such a Champions League final, can such a championship be happy!

Pan Yi couldn't help but glance at the away team's coach's seat again.

At this time, Guardiola was squatting on the ground and touching his bald head, as if he was thinking about something.

Obviously, Pan Yi's change of formation and Harry Kane's shot have caught his attention.

Therefore, now he is frantically burning the "CPU" in his head, thinking about what kind of strategy to come up with to deal with Pan Yi's strange tricks again.

Perhaps, this is the reason why many of the world's handsome people are not very wealthy.

Pan Yi even had the illusion that Guardiola's bald head had become brighter due to the burning......
