Chapter 136: The Defender's Medal of Honor

Rose Garden Course.

Cheers, singing resounded.

But in the stands, many fans held up signs hoping that Ye Luo would stay.

Sitting in the media box, Zolke watched with a smile as he watched what was happening in the stands of the Rose Garden Stadium.

The slogans held up by the fans in Malaga were also the focus of the close-up shots of the game's broadcasters.

Malaga can't keep Yelo, that's something everyone knows.

But the only question is, is Ye Luo really leaving?

Where will he go?

That's what people care about.

While the players from both sides came out to warm up, Farke was watching Yelo and the rest of the players in Málaga perform.

Then he couldn't help frowning.

"It doesn't look like it's affected in the slightest. Is it a trick? By the way, Pellegrini is also a famous coach, he will definitely intervene in this, that makes sense, but . Can superficial calmness really mask inner turmoil? Falk thought.

Yelo is the absolute number one star in Malaga, and all of Malaga's tactics are set up because of Yelo.

Until now.

Malaga played thirteen league games and five Champions League games.

Eighteen games.

Yelo.

Start every game!

And fifteen of them!

Among the playing hours of all non-goalkeepers in Europe's top five leagues.

Ye Luo, high number one!

It can be seen how deeply Malaga is dependent on Yelo!

So Falck did not believe that the sudden outbreak of the tsunami of public opinion would have no effect on Malaga at all.

He decided to keep watching after the game started.

When the game starts.

Bayern Munich, who played away from home, did not shrink to the back of the defense.

The lessons of the previous game made them realise how difficult it is to keep Yelo at bay, so they decided to burn the fire into the Malaga half and use the attack to offset the pressure that Yelo put on the Bayern Munich backline.

The combination of Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben and Ribery strikers is immense.

Other than that.

Bayern Munich chose a 4231 formation for this game.

Gomez was on the bench, and Thomas. Muller instead appeared in the center forward position, Kroos pushed to the front position, and the double back were two more defensive players, Schweinsteiger partnered Alaba!

The purpose of this midfield combination is to strengthen the defence.

Its purpose is to target Ye Luo.

Although it has weakened some of Bayern Munich's attacking strength as a result, with two world-class wingers in charge, Bayern Munich's attacking threat is guaranteed.

The last time the two sides met.

Málaga were a little bit out of touch against Bayern's attacking flanks.

Therefore, Pellegrini is actually pinning his hopes on attack.

To be exact, it is pinned on Ye Luo's body.

Judging from the formation map given by the two sides before the game.

In this match, Malaga lined up a 433 formation.

But when I was standing at the beginning, I could see from the overhead lens that it was actually a 442.

Isco and Cazorla are separated on both sides.

In the middle are the two defensive midfielders Tulalang and Camacho - in order to deal with Bayern Munich, Pellegrini's side also opted for a two-man system.

Both sides looked a little cautious in the selection of starters and seemed to be conservative.

But when it came to the start of the game.

There was no shrinking defense on either side.

Málaga play attacking football on their home turf, which is what they do best and are most accustomed to.

You make the players in Malaga shrink, hold on, hold for a draw.

Although in terms of tactical choice, it is theoretically the optimal solution.

But Manuel Pellegrini is not Mourinho after all – he can't afford to play games he doesn't want to win and he can't lose.

He knew his team would not be able to withstand Bayern Munich's onslaught.

And the team's away victory over Bayern in the last round did not rely on defense, but on sharp attacks.

Therefore.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides started to fight back and forth, and it was very intense.

On Bayern Munich's side, the attack on both flanks was very skillful.

Arjen Robben and Ribery took turns attacking.

And Thomas. Muller is also not a big center like Gomez.

It's a guerrilla type attacker up front, he's a good runner, he's good at taking chances, and he's also able to play the ball to his teammates.

With him linking up in the middle, the threat to goal from Ribery and Arjen Robben became more direct.

And here in Malaga.

Yelo is actually playing in the number 10 position, where he can get more passes in the direction and is closer to the goal than he is on the wing, and he can play more to his long-range advantage.

However, it was the Ukrainian international who came up to defend Yelo full-time in this game, and Shchuk at the end of the season.

Before coming to Bayern, Tymoshchuk played for Zenit in the Russian Premier League.

He's not a superstar player with a big name.

But the running ability and the fighting spirit of the game are very good.

As the game progresses.

Ye Luo was a little impressed by the Eastern European player who had been defending against him.

In this game, Yelo dropped back and was a position between a midfielder and a second striker, looking for a goal behind Baptista.

Just as Yelo was about to receive a pass from a teammate, Shchuk stabbed the ball away with a kick at the end of the season.

Ye Luo was naturally not to be outdone in the face of the opponent's grabbing of the ball, and directly opened his arms to block the opponent behind him.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's grappling ability was very strong, and in the process of entanglement with Yelo, he stabbed the ball to Schweinsteiger.

Off-the-side, Heynckes, who saw this scene, nodded approvingly.

Skchuk started at the end of the season, pushing Kroos up front and leaving Thomas Brown. Muller started in place of Gomez as a central striker.

The key to this series of changes is whether Shichuk can entangle Yelo at the end of the season.

And this battle just now gave Heynckes more confidence in the ability of Shchuk's one-on-one defensive grappling at the end of the season.

In terms of overall ability, Shchuk is the quintessential blue-collar player at the end of the season – in the squad of a super-giant like Bayern Munich, of course.

In fact, at the end of the season, Shchuk can still be regarded as top-notch.

And Heynckes chose to play at the end of the season in this game because of his diligent game attitude and discipline.

The key to this game.

It is to form an entanglement with Ye Luo.

It's not that it has to be that Yelo can't finish the attack and can't score.

Rather, it is to form a great disturbance with him, so that he... Go in a little less.

As long as you can do it.

At the end of the season, Shchuk was the main contributor to the team's away victory.

Falke saw the performance of Shichuk at the end of the season, but he didn't think it was the strength of Shichuk at the end of the season, but that Yelo was influenced by media opinion, and his mentality in this game affected the play of strength!

Humans always want to see what they want to see.

Now Falke is equivalent to shooting an arrow first and then drawing a target, he first presupposes that "Ye Luo must have been influenced by public opinion", and then went to find evidence to prove this.

In fact.

On the pitch, two players compete for five or five balls, and it's normal for whoever grabs it.

Ye Luo is not a magnet for football, and can use his superpower to suck the ball to his feet.

So in fact, no one took this confrontation between Shichuk and Yelo at the end of the season seriously.

But as the game progressed.

Someone found out that something wasn't quite right.

Heynckes devised a very clever defensive routine.

At the end of the season, Shchuk is in charge of pestering Yelo, and around him, there will inevitably be other Bayern Munich players at the same time.

At the end of the season, Shchuk really can't break the ball every time, but his entanglement ability is strong, which is the biggest characteristic of Shchuk at the end of the season - there is a good saying, a mediocre player with average ability is not as good as a player with obvious shortcomings, but the long board is also obvious.

At least.

People have longboards and characteristics.

Combined with the other players on the pitch, this feature can make a big difference.

For example, at the end of the season, Shchuk's defense against Yelo.

He only needs to make Ye Luo unable to handle the ball well in the first place, and always needs more time and action to adjust, so that even if he takes the ball down, there will be no chance to attack.

In football, the situation is always changing, and the space you saw one second ago may be gone a second later. So I really can't afford to delay.

If you make even one more second of adjustment in the attack, your teammates may be offside......

As long as the end of the season Shichuk can complete the task of entanglement, even if it is only to entangle Yelo for a second.

It was enough for the other Bayern Munich players to react.

On the sidelines, Manuel Pellegrini's face became solemn.

He didn't expect that a small Shichuk at the end of the season could play such a big role.

Yelo also noticed an improvement in the Bayern Munich side defensively in this game.

The reason for the progress lies in the fact that this season-ending shchuk, which has always been like a dog's skin plaster on his own.

Who would have thought that such a midfielder, who was gradually being replaced by Bayern's young rookies, could start such an important game and play well.

He intends not to dwell on Shichuk at the end of the season, but to use speed to shake off the opponent.

Soon.

Yelo receives a through ball from Cazorla.

In this game, Bayern Munich paid attention to the pressing of the front court and the marking of key players in Malaga.

So Cazorla's pass was not difficult to pass through.

Yelo was forced to slow down when he received the ball, but his connection was fast.

Outside the instep pluck the ball, turn around, and get up!

Quick turnaround coupled with an instant burst of speed.

With the advantage of dexterity and fast start, his move is almost invincible.

However, Bayern Munich didn't give him much space in this game, so he didn't dare to dial the ball too far, otherwise it would go directly to the feet of other Bayern Munich players.

This caused him to feel as if he was trapped.

The speed didn't come full play.

He had just turned around.

At the end of the season, Shchuk quickly flew out and tackled!

He didn't tackle the ball.

But he successfully tripped Ye Luo, who was just about to get up to speed.

Ye Luo lost his center of gravity and balance, and fell directly to the ground.

The referee's whistle blew as well.

The camera locks on to Shchuk at the end of the season.

Obviously.

He is at the current stage.

Top performers!

Boos erupted from the scene.

At the end of the season, Shchuk smiled.

These boos were directed at him.

But he didn't care.

As a defender.

And when is there more time to prove your worth than now?

The boos of the opponent are their own medals.

Yelo looked at the end of the season Shichuk's eyes, and began to become serious.

This person.

I did underestimate him a little.

Lao Ji is a little unfair this year
