Chapter 432 Catching up, Bayern tactics can't be understood

"It doesn't matter, they were just lucky just now, this kind of ball will not be successful again if it is kicked a hundred times."

Ashley Young is encouraging his teammates not to be affected by this "accident".

To change to someone else, maybe it was an accident.

But this person is Rosie, so it's hard to say.

The movement of his legs raised after falling to the ground was so natural and chic that it didn't look like luck at all.

"Okay, luck is on our side today!"

Sagnol waved his hands excitedly, and the big stone that had been pressed on his chest before disappeared in an instant.

That's a valuable away goal!

"Luck?"

Heynckes muttered under his breath, a smile curling into his lips.

'If Ronaldo's goal was luck, I don't comment because I can't explain it.

"But our offense really threatened the opponent!"

"You have to have faith in our players!"

Sagnol doesn't understand that Manchester United today is very fast in terms of attacking and defending, and the players are in excellent form, and the goal is entirely dependent on Rossi's personal ability and luck.

How does this become a threat?

After the goal, the Bayern players' self-confidence quickly improved and they pressed even harder.

In terms of possession, it also gradually gained the upper hand.

Many times, seeing Fred and McTominay caught up in the back and forth, Manchester United's midfield also fell into brainless chasing and passivity for a while.

Heynckes looked at the young Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and smiled.

As a coach, he is indeed too young and too tender.

Seeing the passive scene, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been directing the players off the field to press and dare to attack.

But their oppression is empty, and they fail to grasp the essence of it.

The reason why high pressing is so popular in all leagues is that it requires a very low lower limit.

Players can achieve the goal of blocking the opponent's attack by running non-stop.

In fact, a large part of Guardiola's passing control is also inseparable from high-level pressing.

But now when it comes to high pressing, the first recommendation is Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund.

This kind of high-level pressing, which is called "boldness", does not require too much technical ability of players, in addition to speed, the most important thing is that players can have enough physical strength to run.

When you meet a strong team, the pace is very fast, and the scene is wonderful and beautiful.

However, his midfield creativity is limited, and he often can't attack when he encounters the swing of a weak team.

This has Klopp's reputation as "robbing the rich and helping the poor".

Compared with this fast-paced and confrontational oppression, the "graceful" oppression with technology as the core is the characteristic of Guardiola's coaching.

However, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City put too much emphasis on possession, and it is easy to be weak in the backcourt in the face of high-intensity pressing in the front.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's high pressing, the disadvantage lies in the midfield.

If it's a diamond-shaped midfielder, just one midfielder looks thin defensively.

If it's a parallel midfielder, the ability to plug in the back is a little lacking.

To compensate for this shortcoming, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has used five midfielders to ensure that both wings can fly together and that the midfield is stable.

But he doesn't know how to use the characteristics of the players properly.

Fred is weak in attack and defense, McTominay lacks speed, and Pogba thinks very highly of himself.

The midfielders of these three players played reasonably well when they were full of energy at the beginning.

Once the opponent masters the rhythm of the midfield, the shortcomings are completely exposed.

The goal just now was that after Fred pressed too much, Pogba couldn't make up for the defense at the first time, so Lewandowski could easily get the ball in the front court and organize in tandem.

In addition, high pressing is a very risky style of play in itself, and once you lose in midfield, it is very easy to concede goals against a team with excellent ability to grasp opportunities.

As it happens, Bayern are a team that is very good at seizing opportunities to score.

Rossi is one of them.

The first half was over quickly, with United trailing Bayern 1-0 at home.

On the way back to the dressing room, the United team was already out of breath, while the Bayern players were slightly more relaxed.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the players worked hard in the first half but not enough.

In the second half, we must continue to strengthen our running, actively scramble, and put more pressure on our opponents.

After a short break, the two sides started the second half of the game.

Bayern kicks off.

After fifteen minutes of adjustment, United recovered and immediately pressed forward as soon as the whistle blew.

But Bayern were able to pass the ball at the back with ease, leaving United's two forwards struggling.

Although Lukaku has the impact and speed, it is indeed a bit difficult for him to take on the work of stealing in the front court with such a large weight.

Marcus Rashford, who is fast, has rough technique, can only chase the ball without brains, and will not block the opponent's passing lanes.

Once United's formation started pressing, it gave Bayern room to counter-attack.

In the 60th minute, Thiago made a precise guide at the back and went straight to Coman on the wing.

The latter received the ball and began to sprint wide, shaking off the defense and crossing.

Lewandowski outflanked in the middle, beat Smalling, and scored with a header.

2:0!!

Bayern scored another goal!

The goal was lost inexplicably, and the fans couldn't understand it.

Obviously, the pressure is very imposing, but why was it suddenly penetrated by the opponent.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer understood that the forward line was not pressing tightly and immediately made a substitution, replacing Lukaku with Anthony Martial.

After Anthony Martial came on, United didn't have a central rivalry, but their pace up front.

Pogba also made a reference to the midfield position to feed the forward line.

In the 67th minute, Manchester United broke the ball at the back under the relentless running, and Pogba broke through the Bayern defense with a long diagonal pass.

Marcus Rashford cut in to the ribs, shook off Jule and fired a shot into the far corner of the net.

Old Trafford was boiling in an instant.

They finally waited for the goal.

From the star they have high hopes for, Marcus Rashford.

After the goal, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer became more convinced of his tactical style of play and brought on Jesse Lingard for the slumping Dalot.

Although Lingard's speed is average, his advantage is that he runs with no effort and covers a very large area.

His role on the pitch is more about taking the ball and pulling the side to create space for his teammates who come in the middle.

And he can also use the interspersed to run back and forth, tandem attacks, and make Manchester United's attack more flexible.

Just three minutes into the game, he set up team-mate Paul Pogba and scored from distance to tie the score.

After scoring the goal, Pogba danced on the field, and his expression was even arrogant.

As "Mr. 100 million yuan", he does have proud capital.

Conceding two goals in a row is a big blow for Bayern.

But Heynckes didn't think so, and just made two substitutions in the position.

Arjen Robben replaces Koeman and James replaces Thiago.

Bayern, whose attack power has been strengthened, did not start to attack, but passed the ball patiently under Heynckes' instructions.

This is confusing to everyone.

If you don't attack, what is the operation of you replacing Robben?

Or is Bayern now having an away goal advantage, so they don't panic at all?

The substitution of this famous coach is really confusing.
