Chapter 278: Eat and Sleep and Fight Bayern

Borussia Mönchen won a place in the Champions League group stage through the Champions League play-offs at the beginning of the season.

In the group stage, they were in the same group as Manchester City and Barcelona and were eliminated early.

However, they still finished third in the group, successfully broke into the Europa League and qualified from the group.

After beating Fiorentina over two legs, Borussia Mönchenchen will meet Schalke 04, a powerhouse in their home league.

The two teams engaged in a fierce offensive battle, and finally drew 3:3.

Borussia Mönchen, however, were eliminated because of the lack of away goals.

Although they have achieved good results in European competitions, the three-line battle has made the players extremely tired.

In particular, after playing the Europa League match with Schalke 04 in midweek, they met Bayern Munich three days later, so that the media is not optimistic about their prospects for this game.

But the players at Borussia Mönchen were extremely excited.

Could there be anything more exciting than beating Bayern?

Yes!

That was to halt their 27-game winning streak.

That's enough to blow for a lifetime!

Rossi, who was rested, appeared in Bayern's starting lineup and partnered with Laiwan in the attack.

Behind them, the two wings formed by Robery flew together.

The two midfielders were Alonso and Thiago, one defending and the other organising the attack.

The backline was intact, with Alaba, Hummels, Martinez and Lahm.

Goalkeeper Noyer.

It can be seen from An Fat's starter that this lineup has the shadow of Bayern's treble that year.

Borussia Mönchen, who is playing at home, is far inferior to Bayern in terms of player value and fame.

But football has always been a team sport.

In the attacking Bundesliga, the attacking intensity is even higher than that of the Premier League, which also leads to the defensive intensity not keeping up.

Even two evenly matched teams can play a big game.

Strict tactical implementation and teamwork are important factors for a foothold in the Bundesliga.

This season's Borussia Mönchen has a good combination of teamwork and tough style.

The team's number one star, Solgen Hazard, the younger brother of Chelsea winger Eden Hazard, sat on the bench.

Although not as famous as his brother, in the Bundesliga, his dribbling is an indispensable weapon for the team.

He would be an important tactical change for Borussia Mönchen in the game.

Led by referee Stiller, players from both sides stepped onto the lawn of the Prussian Park Stadium.

The stadium can accommodate famous spectators, and the fans shouted like a tsunami, resounding over the stadium.

In the Bundesliga, standing tickets are more popular with fans than sitting tickets.

In addition to being inexpensive, it allows fans to interact with each other up close and celebrate without restrictions.

The home fans created a deafening home atmosphere before the game even began.

"Let me see, it's Bayern who does the miracle."

"It's still a surprise victory."

As a player, Heynckes, who played in 283 official matches for Borussia Mönchenchen, scored 195 goals, won four Bundesliga titles and won one FA Cup, is undoubtedly a famous member of the team.

After becoming a coach, he coached Bayern three times, making him one of Bayern's best managers.

For the contest between two teams with deep roots with him, Heynckes is entangled in his heart.

After a long whistle, Bayern kicked off, and after Rossi passed the ball back to his teammates, the frontcourt players of Mönchen immediately rushed up wildly.

After the transmission control gradually withdrew from the mainstream position, the high-level pressing was gradually favored.

The reason for its success is that it doesn't need players with super high passing skills, nor does it need to be a tacit team.

It only needs the players to run actively, improve the overall space coverage and arrival rate, and effectively control the space.

This is a low-threshold and cost-effective tactic, which can make it possible for the middle and lower teams to wrestle with strong teams.

Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp and Simeone are among them.

During Pep Guardiola's time at Barcelona, although the main focus was on passing.

But everything is also based on the high-intensity high pressing on the basis of the realization of offensive and defensive transformation.

Borussia Mönchen's high pressing, albeit with a lot of detail and tactical variations.

But just use your personal ability to attack or plug directly after a steal, and the effect is enough for any opponent to drink a pot.

Bayern, who had been prepared for a long time, after the opponent started pressing, the two full-backs were raised, and the central defenders opened their positions.

To do this, it's about maximizing the passing space possible.

Because goalkeeper Noyer also has the ability to play the ball from the back.

Coupled with Alonso's recovery and response, Bayern's diamond-shaped passing space at the back can effectively break the opponent's pressing.

Although retired at home, Heynckes, as a famous coach, has also been involved in the renewal and reform of football.

During his tenure at Bayern, although the players were not required to press high, the strangulation in the midfield was extremely intense.

Once the ball is broken, Schweinsteiger's quick transfer gives the Roberg combination on the flank, allowing them to gallop to their heart's content.

Back to the game, Bayern's passing at the back after the opening made Borussia Mönchen's pressing ineffective.

But again, the forward pass was also limited by Borussia Mönchen.

The reason is that Borussia Mönchen dared to hoard forces in midfield, limiting Alonso's forward passes and Thiago's turns.

These two are the metronomes and initiators of Bayern's attack.

As long as the two are frozen, Bayern's attack will naturally not be able to play.

Another very important point is that once the steal is completed on the two, the attack of Borussia Mönchen can face the Bayern defense.

The greater the risk, the higher the reward.

Borussia Mönchen relied on the abundant physical energy at the beginning and attacked boldly, pressing Bayern to the point where he couldn't lift his head.

Heynckes also applauded Borussia Mönchen's courage.

Dare to attack the Bundesliga hegemon, this courage can be admired.

But the most crucial point, the combination of Robery, who is not at the peak, weakens the threat to the defensive line, which is the reason why Borussia Mönchen dares to press forward.

There was no threatening attack, but the fierce battle between the two sides in the midfield attracted the long-lasting shouts of the fans.

That's what a derby should look like.

Although Borussia Mönchen don't have the strength of the derby on paper, they have the determination to beat Bayern.

In the first fifteen minutes, under the constant pressure and pressing of Borussia Mönchen, Bayern's defense began to show a hint of send-off.

No matter how good the team is, once the opponent is pressed to play in the penalty area, there will be some problems in the mentality.

Especially Alonso.

Being forced by the opponent all the time is bound to accelerate the consumption of physical energy.

As early as the start of the season, Carlo Ancelotti decided that the former Spanish midfielder could only play for half an hour in a world-class performance.

He was also scheduled to start because he wanted to use his passing and experience to help the team stabilize the situation.

But judging from the course of the game, it seems that the opponent has already targeted Alonso, adopting the tactics of blocking and pressing, trying to find opportunities on him.

In order to alleviate the pressure on the back, An Fat asked captain Lahm to pick up and share the defensive pressure.

As soon as Koram approached the middle, the full-backs of Borussia Mönchen slowly approached the wing, threatening the wide opening at any time.

Rossi had no chances up front and was forced to return to midfield and get involved in defence.

Borussia Mönchenchen head coach Hei Jin suddenly laughed.

For Rossi's research, he has put a lot of effort into it.

In fact, the whole high-post pressing is a tactic customized for Rossi.

As long as Rossi is forced to return to the midfield, participate in the defense, and greatly weaken his offensive ability, Bayern's counterattack is not to be feared.

More importantly, Borussia Mönchen completely cut off Bayern's midfield.

Although he has a forward combination of Laiwan and Robery, the ball can't be passed, and all luxury forwards are decorations.

Borussia Mönchen was at home, playing a combination of punches that overwhelmed Bayern.

As expected, in the eyes of the fans, there are only two opponents, one is Bayern, and the other is called other teams.

The task of the season is to eat and sleep and play Bayern.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
