It's outdated stuff after all, including you!

Guardiola looked at Bayern's bench and still had respect in his eyes for the white-haired old coach.

But today, he'll be a victor and take a fresh look at his opponent.

Six years ago at Camp Nou, he was convinced.

At that time, Bayern Munich, under the leadership of Heynckes, had a sharp attack and a solid defense.

What's even more rare is that each line of defense is compact and connected to each other.

The current Bayern is still an excellent team, with a tacit understanding between the players and a balance between attack and defense.

But without a big killer on the wing and a true B2B player, it will be difficult for Heynckes to replicate the tactics of the treble.

What's more, in modern football, a set of tactics can be brilliant for two or three years at most, and then it will be eliminated by the opponent to study the weaknesses.

Therefore, Heynckes' restart of the tactics of the year in this game is an outdated thing in Guardiola's mind.

Even Pep Guardiola himself is looking for change every season.

Including the current three-center-back system, which is to pursue the stability of the backfield, use the player's through ball, instantly increase speed, and threaten the opponent's goal.

It is said that passing control is to use a high pass success rate to obtain a higher ball possession rate.

But Pep Guardiola's football philosophy is to make the most of the space on the pitch by demanding the player's position, and then constantly pressing the opponent to gain control of the game.

The so-called Tika-Taka, short pass coordination, is just an accessory produced in this process.

The previous two goals were in line with his tactical thinking.

Stable ball control and efficient and concise counterattacks can be regarded as revenge for the year.

Heynckes, dressed in a down coat, stood in the cold wind to direct the game.

Under the brim of the hat, there is a tenacious look.

After Bayern kicks off, go on the attack.

Facing the blockade arranged by Manchester City in the midfield, Hummels passed the ball out of the backfield, crossed the midfield line, and gave it directly to Lewandowski.

After the Polish centre-forward took possession of the ball, he was immediately caught by Manchester City.

Otamendi interfered closely, forcing Lewandowski to turn and forcing the ball to split the ball.

City's defence was also quick to cover the flanks, with Kyle Walker keeping an eye on Rossi.

During the Tottenham era, the two had played each other, and Walker was very jealous of Rossi's movement, and he could always find a chance to shoot in front of the goal for some reason.

The famous "hat-trick" at White Hart Lane and Kane still echoes in his mind today.

After Rossi took the ball, he did not choose to break through or pull the side, but returned the ball to the midfielder.

[Very clever callback!] 】

[Bayern was very uncomfortable being pressed by the opponent during this time! ] 】

[I was finally able to get the ball out of the backcourt!] 】

[But there are not enough teammates in front of you to participate in the attack!] 】

[Pass back to the midfield first, and slowly find the rhythm!] 】

Martinez's attacking ability in midfield is not as good as before, but their handling of the ball is still world-class.

Coupled with Retona's return to midfield to help with the ball, the pressure was taken off his shoulders.

For Martinez, Pep Guardiola is all too familiar.

It was he who transformed the Basque Lions from a midfield position to a central defender.

In Pep Guardiola's tactical framework, he likes players to do what they need to do in their prescribed positions.

Putting Martinez at centre-back is all about using his ability to play the ball.

With injuries and age, he is no longer able to play at the back of the fierce confrontation.

Heynckes put him here just to use his ball and sort out the organization at the back.

But in this way, Bayern's attacking ability in the midfield has been greatly reduced.

Bayern during the Treble that year, the midfield had Martinez, Schweinsteiger and Kroos in the midfield.

The trio controlled the midfield well.

What now?

Martinez's running ability is not as good as before, and Vidal is a "throw-back midfielder" who can't go up and back, plus there is no impact on the side, how can this be played?

Soon, Bayern's attack was unable to advance and was forced back into the half by Manchester City.

In the 18th minute, Manchester City pressed again, cut off the ball, and advanced quickly.

When Martinez chased back, he directly reached out and pulled Sterling to stop the opponent's fast attack, and he also received a yellow card.

David Silva takes a set-piece from the left side of the box.

He didn't pass directly into the box and let his teammates fight for the head.

Instead, after knocking on a teammate outside the penalty area, he cut forward along the sideline.

B. Silva is outside the box and doesn't stop the ball straight into Raheem Sterling in the box.

The latter also distributed the ball directly to Silva on the wing.

The continuous passing made Bayern's defense loose.

The little man Sergio Aguero leaps high in the middle and heads home.

Neuer straightens his left hand and lifts the ball over the crossbar.

Ooh!

After a sigh from behind the goal, it was the dissatisfaction and anger of the fans!

What kind of defense is this, actually allowing four small players of Manchester City to act recklessly in the penalty area.

Kevin De Bruyne takes a tactical corner and City continue to control the tempo.

During this time, fans can see with the naked eye that the Bundesliga giants are at a disadvantage.

The offense can't be pushed, and the defense can't stop the opponent.

Manchester City were frequently at the back, tearing through balls open the defence and sending them to the feet of the forward trio.

The three of them then use their speed or work together in pairs to complete the shot.

In the 20th minute, De Bruyne's long-range shot from outside the penalty area.

This reflects the relaxed mentality of the Manchester City players at this time.

Under such defensive pressure, the Bayern players began to be a little out of breath.

Captain Manuel Neuer held the ball in one hand while keeping his teammates as calm as possible and stabilizing the situation.

If it doesn't work, he passes the ball to himself.

Heynckes was also on the sidelines, pointing to the opponent's half, signaling that the formation must be pressed forward.

The reason is clear, but the players can't do it.

There is no way for them to crack down on the opposition's midfield interception.

At this point, Rossi came to Retona's side and told him to drop back deeper to get the ball, moving himself to the wing.

In the 28th minute, David Silva tried to break through in the ribs and pull the defence.

Retona and Martinez came straight to a goalkeeper and cut the ball off.

When the ball came to Hummels, he didn't rush forward, but quickly pulled the side, attracted B-Silva and then passed it to Alaba.

B-Silva immediately counter-attacked, but Alaba turned and passed back.

The ball is back at the feet of Hummels.

A seemingly safe global backhaul, full of details.

First of all, B-Silva, who was eager to counter-attack, was exhausted and unable to take effective interference in the first place.

Hummels can then use the gap to calmly look up and see where his teammates are standing.

Seeing Martinez coming, he passed the ball over.

In this way, Bayern form a small triangle in a small area on the wing.

B-Silva is in this area and can only run for his life.

Triangle coordination + one kick out of the ball, Bayern players in the backfield continuous passing, instantly tearing apart the opponent's high pressure, and then by the retreating Retona, the ball to the front.

Rossi ran quickly down the flanks and shook off the midfielder Fernandinho.

The smooth coordination made the silent Allianz Stadium boil again.

Kyle Walker quickly approached, saw that Rossi was a little too big, and immediately fell to the ground and slid the tackle.

If he doesn't, there's every chance that Rossi will cross in front of goal.

The idea was correct, but he ignored Rossi's ability to handle the ball.

Seeing that the opponent was about to be one step faster, Rossi did not sprint with all his strength to grab the ball, but adjusted his body and moved in the direction of the opponent's clearance.

Although Walker tackled the ball first, the ball was blocked by Rossi beforehand.

The ball hit Rossi in the lower abdomen and continued to be under his control.

【Beautiful! 】

[Walker didn't tackle clean!] 】

[Bayern frontcourt opportunity! ] 】

[2v2 up!] 】

After Rossi slowed down, he observed Otamendi's defensive stance.

He lifted his right foot slightly, leaned his body to the right, and made a gesture to break through with the ball on his right.

After Otamendi's center of gravity shifted quickly, Rossi's right foot did not pluck the ball, but landed quickly, used the inside to pluck the ball in one direction, and pushed the ground with his left foot, instantly shaking off the defense.

Otamendi's body had no time to adjust, and the only one who could keep up with Rossi's change of direction was his surprised face.

This is...... Heavy shoulders!

Guardiola was also stunned off the pitch.

At this moment, he seemed to see Messi.

Rossi, who shook off the defense, passed the ball to Lewandowski at the back post.

Gundogan slid from the side to intercept the opposition's shot.

But Lewandowski didn't give him a chance, he had already pulled away, put up a stance, and pushed directly.

Goalkeeper Moraes fell to the ground to save the ball, but Lewandowski pushed the angle extremely tricky, he only hated that his arm was not longer a meter, and watched in despair as the ball flew into the net.

In the Allianz Arena, a deafening cheer suddenly erupted!
