'The second half is about to start and the Champions League title is likely to be decided in 45 minutes!'

'From what we've seen with the players on the pitch so far, neither team should have made any substitutions in the second half.

"It's also normal. Today's starting line-ups for both sides were selected by the two managers after a season of running-in and matching, and it was also the result of careful consideration and careful weighing of the opponents in this game. ”

'So this squad really represents the best of Bayern and Chelsea.'

"Of course, the fact that there is no change in personnel does not mean that the formation and tactics of the two sides will not change. In the first half, Pan Yi and Pep Guardiola have shown us a dazzling tactical restraint and targeting, and I believe that the second half should continue such a wonderful off-field game. ”

"Okay, the referee has blown the whistle for the start of the second half. We still have to look at the tactical adjustments of the two sides according to the position of the players waiting for the next game......"

"Ah, Bayern seems to be in a back four position again! Pep Guardiola did change his line-up, and he should be looking to reverse the decline in the final stages of the first half. ”

'Xavi Martinez should have reverted to the original centre-back position, with Xavi Alonso in midfield, Vidal and Thomas Muller, and Ribery, Arjen Robben and Lewandowski in the strikers.

"If that's right, Bayern have switched to a 4-3-3, which is supposed to be a change to Chelsea's aggressive 4-3-2-1 formation. Let's see ...... Chelsea side"

"Huh? Chelsea have instead become a back three? But instead of bringing David Luis back, it was bringing in the former right wing-back Cesar Azpilicueta in a right centre-back position. ”

On the other side, left wing-back Marcos Alonso ...... He was positioned parallel to Bernardo Silva, he played as a left winger! ”

"Generous Crab! This is a 3-2-4-1 formation, and Pan Yi seems to be putting more emphasis on attack in the second half! ”

"The traditional two-wing-back system has instantly become a formation without full-backs, and to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that all the Chelsea players are versatile, it would have been really difficult to complete such a formation conversion without substitutions."

"But as I said, the two master tacticians played their new cards at the start of the second half. This is definitely a rare wonderful scene in world football in a century! ”

"Let's continue to look forward to the second half of the game, maybe the tactical duel of this game will go down in the history of world football!"

——

Chelsea started off with a ferocious attack.

After Bayern Munich changed the formation, the frontcourt pressing was also reduced.

In the frontcourt siege, basically only the front trident goes up to block the pass of the opposing defender.

Using three people against the opponent's six-man ball system, the effect can be imagined.

What's more, the trident didn't press as closely as it did in the first half, and sometimes it was just a duffle shot, which slightly affected Chelsea's smoothness on the ball.

This is the compromise that Bayern have made out of their physical condition.

There's no way, no player in the world can really run a whole game.

Of course, if a Chelsea player dribbles into Bayern Munich's half, then Bayern will immediately pick up the pace!

In particular, the midfield three will press heavily in an instant, intercepting and pressing Chelsea to force Chelsea to pass the ball back to their own half.

As soon as the ball returned to the Chelsea half, Bayern Munich slowed down their pressing again.

But when Chelsea reorganized and passed the ball across the halfway line from the other side, Bayern Munich once again stepped up the scramble and the tempo of the game immediately increased.

And so on and so forth.

Bayern's attack was focused on the moment after the siege.

Once the ball is in their hands, Bayern will immediately distribute the ball to the wings, leaving Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, two fast and skilled wingers, to make one-man explosions, while Lewandowski picks up in the middle, ready to shoot from the spot.

Such an offensive routine is not too complicated in terms of organization, and it can also be said to be simple and effective.

Of course, more importantly, this style of play can ensure that the defensive line is not breached by Chelsea to the greatest extent, ensure that the attacking firepower of the side is not missing, and can also save energy.

Pan Yi was also very attentive on the sidelines, and naturally noticed the changes in Bayern Munich, and quickly guessed Guardiola's intentions.

"This guy is really a lot better." Pan Yi couldn't help but praise.

Perhaps Pep Guardiola didn't guess that Pan Yi would change the formation to 3-2-4-1, but when he saw this formation, he immediately made some minor adjustments on the basis of the midfield arrangement, and began to focus on attacking Chelsea's two wings.

After all, due to the absence of fullbacks in this formation, the defensive pressure of the two wingers is relatively large, and there are relatively many loopholes.

If Robben and Franck Ribery are allowed to take their chances, there is a good chance that they will tear through Chelsea's defence.

It's a sensitivity to tactical changes.

When Pan Yi took Hamburg to meet Pep Guardiola in the Bundesliga, it was still Guardiola's first year at Bayern, and Guardiola's tactics did not change so much at that time.

Especially in Pan Yi's combat history, often when Pan Yi began to make changes in on-the-spot tactics, it was generally difficult for the opposing coach to keep up with Pan Yi's thinking, and the final result was failure.

But today, Pan Yi has changed formations several times, but every time Guardiola has been able to keep up with the rhythm and respond quickly, which is really commendable.

It can only be said that in this life, under the stimulation of Pan Yi's "super boss", Guardiola has indeed improved a lot compared to his previous life.

Of course, now that Guardiola has made a new move, Pan Yi, as the big boss, will naturally not be false.

As Pan Yi walked to the sidelines again and conducted the first on-the-spot command in the second half, the rhythm on the field was once again accelerated.

In particular, the two full-backs, Ake and Azpilicueta, began to play more on the sidelines, fighting to liven up the flanks, while also limiting the attacking combination of Robery.

In addition, Pan Yi also instructed his disciples to strengthen the large-scale transfer between the two sides.

As soon as the ball doesn't get a chance on the left side, it immediately moves to the right side, and once the right side can't find the opportunity to attack, it immediately moves to the left side.

This frequent shift between the left and right wings is mainly to mobilize Bayern's defensive strength, especially to make their three players in the midfield run back and forth, consuming their energy and physical strength.

After all, there is still considerable pressure on Bayern's defense, and if you are not careful, Chelsea will find loopholes and attack.

So every time Chelsea shifted widely, Bayern's midfielder had to follow, and sometimes the opponent was just a feint, but Bayern's midfielder made a round-trip run and did useless work.

After playing a few more times, the patience and spirit of the Bayern players are quite tormented.

In the 52nd minute, a Chelsea move down the left flank was met by Ake who had just handed the ball to Marcos Alonso in front of him, who was tackled to the ground by the onrushing Xavi Alonso.

The two "Brother Long" also had some disputes, but fortunately they were pulled away by the referee and teammates in time.

It can be seen from this ball that he is as calm as Xavi Alonso, and his mentality is a little anxious.

Chelsea win a free-kick.

Without waiting for the Bayern players to take up their defensive positions, David Luiz quickly sent the ball out and Lukaku rushed up to shoot straight at goal.

But the angle of the shot was too square, and it was saved by Neuer.

It didn't score, but it was the most dangerous shot of the opening minute of the second half and earned it the cheers of the Chelsea crowd.

Chelsea then launched a couple of attacks, all of which were abruptly picked up after a wide shift, with Harry Kane and Bench B delivering a rather dangerous shot on target.

This made Bayern fans feel quite uneasy.

As for the current dilemma on the court, Guardiola is of course mentally prepared.

He knows very well that Pan Yi's current idea is to use the team's passing advantage and use the dispatch of two wings to further weaken Bayern Munich's physical stock.

Once the 'oil' of Bayern's players bottoms out, Chelsea will launch real waves of lethal attacks.

This is a very common attrition routine for Chelsea this season.

Whether it's the Premier League or the Champions League, many teams seem to be able to play Chelsea in the early stages of the game, but they often have to pay a huge physical expense to achieve such an equilibrium.

After 70 minutes, Chelsea's formidable fitness reserves begin to come into play, and at this point the opposition is often overwhelmed.

Otherwise, how could there be a "Pan Yi time"?

However, although Guardiola understands, he does not have a very effective coping strategy.

He asked his players at half-time not to allow Chelsea to possess the ball in front of the 30-metre zone, which they did.

He spotted a change in Chelsea's formation after the opening kick-off, so he asked the Roberys to attack the opposition's wings and they did the same.

But it would be too much to ask them to move quickly with Chelsea's movements on both sides.

After all, the players' physical energy has been depleted to a certain extent, and it is difficult to support the team to burst and press like in the first half.

Therefore, Guardiola can only let his players stand in positions to defend the zone.

Chelsea, don't you move left and right, anyway, I defend my own area, and when the ball arrives here, I will defend, so I won't run blindly!

But as a result, Bayern sometimes have a gap in defence.

This is the disadvantage of zone defense compared to man marking, that is, it is easy to make errors in judgment, resulting in poor marking.

For example, when the opposing player enters an area, and this area may belong to player A or player B, then who will go up and watch?

It takes a very good understanding to do this.

For example, in the 58th minute, seat B shifted on the right side and passed the ball to the left.

Marcos Alonso cut in, chested the ball forward, shook off Lahm with his speed and slotted forward at high speed.

When he made a beautiful one-two on the left to meet Harry Kane, Bayern's defence made a mismatch in that instant.

Will it be Lahm, who is chasing back, or will central defender Boateng go to fill in?

It was this space of a few tenths of a second that gave Marcos Alonso the opportunity to cross the bottom.

He whipped in a low cross into the box and Lukaku rushed to the goal to make a tackle, but Neuer was on the edge of the game to intercept the ball before Lukaku's thick leg to defuse the crisis.

The San Siro stadium erupted in another burst of screams, some of which were the frustration of Chelsea fans for missing their chances, but more of the horror of Bayern fans.

Pep Guardiola on the sidelines was also taken aback.

He knew that if Chelsea scored a goal at this time, it would really be the end of it.

But at the same time, he also sensed that captain Lahm's fitness might have started to fail.

With Chelsea's frequent flanks and attacks, Lahm's footsteps have become heavy and he can't keep up with the pace of the Chelsea players.

He's 33 years old after all!

Although he will still do his best on the field, the years are not forgiving.

Thinking of this layer, he immediately turned his head to look at the bench and began to look for a replacement.

It's time to think about replacing Lahm!

"The fourth official held up the sign, it was Bayern Munich who asked for a substitution."

"No. 32 Kimmich came on and replaced No. 21 captain Lahm."

'It was a counter-change and Kimmich came on at right-back.

"It's just that in the 62nd minute of the game, Lahm was substituted, which was relatively rare before."

'It also shows how much pressure he has on the flanks under Chelsea's attack!'

"Of course, Bayern fans don't have to worry too much about the captain's end. Joshua Kimmich, who was replaced by Joshua Kimmich, is only a 21-year-old German rookie, but he has been playing in the Bundesliga for two and a half years. ”

"He has also done very well after his move from RB Leipzig to Bayern Munich this season. He has now become an important player in the Bayern Munich squad and has made 36 appearances for the club in all competitions this season. ”

"On 20 May this year, Kimmich made his debut for the German national football team in a friendly match between Germany and Slovakia, which also proved that his performance was also recognized by Loew.

"Now, young Kimmich will face the likes of Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku, so let's see how he performs in this important final!"

——

"You pay attention, so that they can play Kimmich more."

Taking advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball, Pan Yi walked to the sidelines and instructed Lukaku who came over to drink water.

At this time, Kimmich had just debuted, and although he had improved rapidly after spending a year under Guardiola, he still did not get rid of his weakness that he would sometimes be frizzy when he grabbed up.

In addition, Kimmich is young and vigorous and has a fiery temper, which is also a point that can be exploited.

Lukaku drank water, listened to Pan Yi's instructions, and nodded incessantly.

When he finished drinking the water, he threw it away, and quickly returned to the court.

"What did the boss tell you?" Harry Kane and Eden Hazard both leaned in.

"The boss said that the kid who just came on the pitch at Bayern is a weakness, and you can hit him hard." Lukaku gasped back.

After replenishing the water, he was sweating profusely, and his shaved head even emitted white smoke, like a black star descending from the earth.

Both nodded, and couldn't help but look at Kimmich's side.

Kimmich is certainly far less well-known than Lahm and the Chelsea players are not very familiar with him.

But since the manager told him so, there must be no problem in doing so.

No one knows the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing players better than Pan Yi! ——

Kimmich felt a little hairy on his body.

"How many of them, what are you looking at me?"

Just as Boateng was standing next to Kimmich, Kimmich turned to his big brother and asked.

"I don't know, but it's certainly not a good thing." Boateng glanced at the Chelsea players who were looking over and snorted, "You don't care so much, just play according to the coach's arrangement." ”

Without waiting for Kimmich to answer, Boateng added: "Watch your defensive moves." ”

Obviously, Boateng also knows that Kimmich, a young guy, sometimes moves too much and causes fouls when defending, so a reminder.

But Kimmich nodded on the surface, but inwardly he was a little unimpressed.

The main thing is that he thinks that Boateng's own defensive movements are not very good!

In the knockout round of the Champions League last season, Bayern lost 0:3 to Barcelona in the game, Boateng made a very difficult flip 360-degree fall action when facing Messi, and then could only watch Messi shoot and score, and finally Bayern was also eliminated by Barcelona and missed the final.

This footage is still replayed in countless football videos, what is your identity Boateng, just tell me to pay attention to defensive actions? ——

The game resumes.

'Chelsea once again crossed the ball over the halfway line and we'll see how it goes.

'They are still attacking from their left flank and it seems that Bayern Munich have not changed their attacking direction after replacing Lahm.

'But now Bayern Munich's defense in their own half is very well organised, and Chelsea's chances are not very good.

'Chelsea slowly poured the ball down the right, Alaba came over to defend, there was still no room for it, and the B bench continued to pass back.

"David Luiz made a long diagonal pass and the ball was back on the left! This time it was Eden Hazard who got the ball! ”

"Dangerous !!!"

'Eden Hazard slashed into the box from the left flank and he was about to go in......

"Huh? What's going on? Hazard collapsed in the Bayern Munich penalty area, with Kimmich behind him with his hands raised. ”

'Eden Hazard appeared to be protesting and Kimmich had a push behind him, but Kimmich said he had not committed a foul.

'If we look at the slow-motion replays from other angles, Kimmich did have a more subtle push that caused Hazard to lose his balance and fall forward to the ground.

"But the referee seems to think that Hazard lost his balance and fell? Oh, and the linesman is waving his flag. He whispered a few words to the referee, who pointed in the direction of the Bayern players! ”

"Bayern fouled, but not a penalty! It was a free-kick on the line of the penalty area. ”

'It shows that Kimmich pushed Hazard down when he was defending, but when he pushed it was outside the box, Hazard just fell in the box.

Kimmich also received a yellow card for it. It's been less than five minutes since he was substituted......"

"Ah, what's going on on the field? Kimmich seemed to be accusing Hazard of faking a fall, and the two quarreled! ”

There was a bit of confusion on the field.

Kimmich and Eden Hazard were spitting with their heads on their heads, while the players on both sides were busy arguing.

After all, this foul action is not very big, and there is no quarrel.

And for the players on Bayern's side, Kimmich received a yellow card as soon as he came on the field, and if he ate another one because of a quarrel, wouldn't it be a big loss?

So let's pull it away.

Since the quarrel took place near the touchline, the substitutes who were warming up outside the touchline also joined in the fight.

Kimmich's German national team teammate Goretzka stretched out his strong arm to pull Kimmich aside and persuaded:

"Brother Ji, forget it......"

Of course, the more important thing is that the managers of both sides are also yelling at their players to walk away.

"Play well, don't mess with me!"

This is almost the same wish of Pan Yi and Guardiola.

They all want to show their best skills and tactics in such a pinnacle duel today, instead of wasting time and energy in such a verbal pull.

So the game quickly returned to normal.

Although a little reluctant, Kimmich still hugged and shook hands with Hazard, representing reconciliation.

Eden Hazard prepares to take the free-kick.

Although the ball was not far from goal, it was at a very good angle and was not suitable for a direct shot.

So he's ready to play a game with his teammates.

As for how to cooperate......

Several headers, including Virgil van Dijk, David Luiz and Ake, have now moved into the box and look like they are going to kick a high ball for the top.

Hazard also raised his left hand to signal his companion's attention.

Then, he runs and drives the ball out!

But somewhat surprisingly, Hazard didn't get the ball into the box.

The ball fell to the top of the Bayern Munich penalty area.

Is this another long-range tactic from behind?

I saw Harry Kane running towards the ball, as if he was about to shoot.

Robben, who Bayern stayed at the top of the arc, was going to defend, but Kimmich reacted.

Eager to make a contribution, he immediately left Lukaku, who was on the defensive, and rushed directly to Harry Kane.

But Harry Kane was a fake-shooter, and he first used a beautiful feint to fool Kimmich and then go straight ahead.

He passed it on to Lukaku, who was unguarded at this time!

Then, Lukaku shoots with his legs!

"The ball is in!!!!"

'Romelu Lukaku finally scored!!!

"It was a brilliant free-kick combination! At the same time, it is also a subtle combination of Chelsea's front three. ”

'Eden Hazard passes the ball to Harry Kane who is inserted in the back, and after this action attracts Kimmich's attention, Harry Kane passes it to the unguarded Lukaku!'

'Lukaku didn't waste the expectations of his two team-mates and calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net.

"One-to-Zero !!"

"We can see the whole goal in slow motion."

'Kimmich may be responsible for the goal he conceded because he was a bit out of position to keep out Harry Kane, which led to Lukaku being missed. And when the ball reached Lukaku's feet, he couldn't get back to goal in the first place. ”

"If Kimmich's goal hadn't been out of place, let Robben go to the opposite position to block Harry Kane, maybe the ball wouldn't have been so easy to pass to Lukaku's feet."

'Considering the free-kick opportunity was also due to a foul on Kimmich, he was really unlucky for the goal he conceded.

"However, we can't be too the youngster. There is indeed a certain gap between his current ability and captain Lahm, and the loss caused by Lahm's departure is still very large. ”

Guardiola must have been frustrated by that because he didn't have a lot of options. With Bayern's high-pressure tactics in the first half, combined with the pressure Chelsea are now on, Lahm is really out of the question......

The moment Lukaku calmly pushed the goal, the entire San Siro stadium was completely boiling.

Blue waves cover red and become the main color of the course!

Pan Yi was even more excited on the sidelines, clenching his hands into fists and raising them high, constantly yelling at the players on the court, venting his inner excitement.

He knew he was right.

Kimmich's side is really the breakthrough point!

It's just that he didn't expect it to work so quickly!

And this goal, which was belated for more than 60 minutes, is indeed very important for Chelsea!

The opening goal undoubtedly broke the balance of power on the pitch.

This is undoubtedly a very desirable result for Chelsea, who have been in control of the tempo of the game since the second half.

If we don't score goals and stalemate again, it's hard to say what will happen next.

So Pan Yi is still very excited about this goal.

"Well done, guys!" Pan Yi hugged Lukaku who was running towards him hard, and then was hugged tightly by Hazard, Harry Kane and others who followed him.

'Keep trying, keep it like this, you can keep scoring!'

With Pan Yi's encouragement, everyone's morale was greatly boosted, and after all the players applauded in unison, they turned back to the court.

And in front of the away team's dugout, it is not as lively as here.

Pep Guardiola looked depressed.

Why didn't he know that Kimmich's mentality and form were still difficult to adapt to this level of intensity and level?

But if Lahm is not replaced, the result will only be worse.

After all, a veteran who has no physical strength will only become a breakthrough point for his opponent on the field.

I can only hope that the youngster will open up immediately.

So, while celebrating on Chelsea's side, Pep Guardiola grabbed Kimmich by the collar and loudly reminded him of the precautions on the pitch.

"Watch your emotions! Watch your position! Don't lose your seat! Remember it for me! ”

"If you fool around again, I'll still replace you!"

"I'm sure you'll adjust! I told you that you can take over Lahm's team in the future, and you can become the new captain of Bayern! Got it! ”

Kimmich was a child who had made a mistake at this time, and he dared to move wherever he could, so he could only nod obediently and obediently.

He does regret it a little now, why didn't he listen to what the big brothers said earlier......
