After advancing to the last four of the Champions League, Bayern have two important domestic matches.

In the 30th round of the Bundesliga, we hosted Werder Bremen.

German Cup semi-finals, away against Schalke 04.

The opponents are all veteran powerhouses in the Bundesliga, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Werder Bremen are seventh in the standings and must win against Bayern Munich to qualify for Europe, so they must give it their all.

Schalke 04's record this season has been strained, the league and the Champions League have collapsed, and the German Cup has become the only trophy to compete for.

After a midweek crash with Manchester United, the players were physically tired, and Heynckes rotated his squad and the players on the bench were given a chance to start.

Among them is Robery.

This season, the two have been plagued by injuries and rarely get the chance to play.

Instead of complaining, they silently accepted it all.

It is precisely because of the two of them taking the lead on the bench that Bayern's dressing room is friendly.

Rossi as the starting center, paired with Robery.

After the opening, Bayern did not give up high pressing because it was a substitute lineup.

On the contrary, the attitude of the players is more positive.

At the beginning of the game, Bayern's four attackers in the front field immediately put pressure on the Bremen back.

In the 7th minute, Bayern formed a 4v5 pressure in the front court and drove the opponent's pass to the left side.

Left-back Augustinsson was about to pass the ball but was cut off by Rossi.

Other Bayern players also pressed him on other passing lines.

The neat and uniform high pressure made the Bremen defense very uncomfortable.

In desperation, Augustinsson dribbled the ball to the middle.

At this time, Rossi suddenly grabbed and entangled with his opponent.

Augustinsson, who was already a little flustered, lost the ball under Rossi's strong pressing momentum.

Fortunately, he did not lose his defensive position and immediately stepped forward to interfere and keep Rossi away from the penalty area.

At this point, Rossi smacked his heel and passed the ball behind him.

Franck Franck Ribery cut forward, burst into the box, faced the goalkeeper and slotted home.

1:0！！！

Franck Ribery broke a month-long goal drought.

He smiled and hugged Rossi and celebrated with his teammates.

Bayern got off to a lightning start and the attack was out of control.

In the 11th minute, Robben picked up the ball on the right and suddenly cut inside in a familiar area.

After shaking past the two defenders, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The centre-back, who was supposed to be in this position, was taken away by Rossi, who calmly got up and made a wonderful arc into the corner of the goal.

2:0！！！

Robery's combination gave Bayern a dream start.

The two scored at the same time, dating back to the 27th round of the league last season.

After a year, the two teamed up to score again, and what appeared on their faces was calm and calm.

They enjoy the game more.

Robery grew old and strong, and the other young people were not far behind.

Retona, Kimmich and Rossi made contributions successively, and Bayern won this crucial game 5-0 and extended the difference with Dortmund to 9 points.

Three days later, it was the semi-finals of the German Cup.

Proud to go to Schalke Arena, Bayern's big and small strikers joined hands and defeated the opponent 5:2.

Rossi made two passes and one shot, and continued to be in hot form.

After two important victories, Bayern basically established the advantage of the civil war.

Now, they have to concentrate on preparing for the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.

Under the leadership of new coach Valverde, Barcelona has led Real Madrid by 19 points, firmly at the top of the table, and basically locked up the league title this season.

Like Bayern, they have plenty of time and energy to prepare for the Champions League.

Immediately after the weekend's draw away at Nuremberg, Heynckes called a meeting to study their opponents.

Valverde is a manager who emphasizes attacking and pressing high-pressure, and during his time at Athletic Bilborough, his fast-paced attacking and ferocious pressing were his distinctive style.

In the final of the 2015 Spanish Super Cup, Biba swept the Cosmos team Barcelona 5:1 to win the championship, which was the battle of the gods coached by Valverde.

As a master tactician, Valverde is not bound by fixed tactics, and is flexible according to the opponent and the personnel at hand.

In the second half of this season, Barcelona needs to play "back-to-back" away from home against Real Madrid.

Valverde even showed his level of employment and command ability in the city, completing the feat of away double.

The video that the Heynckes team is watching now is the second leg of Barcelona's Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Madrid.

Barcelona were at a disadvantage in the first half.

However, the team's timing in the second half was well chosen, and the instant explosion of Dembele and Suarez allowed Barcelona to score three goals in more than 20 minutes and completely crush Real Madrid.

"Guys, what do you think?"

After pondering for a moment, Sagnol said: "The timing of Barcelona's choice to attack is very good. In the first half, they could only retreat to defend under the attack of Real Madrid. ”

"Real Madrid can't attack for a long time, so it's natural to be impetuous, and then hit hard."

Heynckes nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Let's be more detailed." ”

Sagnol was overjoyed, this was the old coach's deliberate mention, straightened his chest, and said: "Real Madrid's Vinicius was very active in the first half, and the fullback Semedo was almost pressed in the half and couldn't move. ”

'Ernesto Valverde brought in the more defensive Rakitic in the second half, strengthened the defense on the right and locked Vinicius.

"Only when the worries are solved can the offensive improve."

It wasn't until Sagnor finished speaking in one breath that Heynckes slowly got up and looked approving.

He only took over halfway through and left at the end of the season.

If the Bayern hierarchy doesn't find the right person, Sagnol is a good choice.

That's why he wanted to give him more guidance before he retired.

"Willy, you're seeing too much of it, or rather, it's just a little bit. You can't coach a big team without looking at the big picture. ”

Sagnol looked awe-struck and straightened his back.

"First of all, in order to cope with Real Madrid's attack, Barcelona became 4-4-2 in the second half, putting Messi in the forward position."

"Here, Messi is more dangerous with the ball."

"Once Barcelona does a good job of defending the midfield, and Rakitic connects with Messi, Real Madrid's midfield will be completely passive."

"When the time comes, Messi can dribble the ball himself, and he can also share the ball with the wings and let his teammates score."

After listening to this, Sagnor nodded abruptly.

"So, the day after tomorrow in our game against Barcelona, the key point is in the midfield, whether to choose to suppress the wing or block the middle."

Pressing the edge is the same offensive means as Real Madrid.

locked up, that is, to completely lock Messi.

There was a moment of silence in the office, and everyone waited for Heynckes' final decision.

"Hans, how are the players doing now?"

Medical Director Waltfat smiled confidently and said, "No problem. ”

Heynckes thought for a moment, then took the case and said, "Then press the front court and block the side." ”

Everyone was shocked.

After all, the old coach Heynckes once led the team to double defeat Barcelona at its peak, allowing the opponent to swallow seven zero eggs.

Only Heynckes himself knows that it is very difficult to defend against Messi alone.

And the staffing at that time was very different from what it is now.

He had to make adjustments.

It's a lot of pressure!
