The score of 1:0 did not make Heynckes brow.

Looking at the panting team members, his expression became even more solemn.

The physical consumption is far more than he expected.

In the second half of the first half, if it weren't for Ulreich's courage and frequent defusal of dangers, the opponent would have broken through the goal long ago.

Bayern are not crazy to press aggressive teams, but more often use the whole to press the opponent.

But this time it's a catch-up and a steal, and it's very strict in terms of physical requirements.

And now that we are in the second half of the season, players in a third-tier team like Bayern cannot afford this kind of catch-up tactic.

Do you want to take a break?

This idea was only fleeting, and it was rejected in an instant.

The opponent is the best team in the world, with the best players in the world, and even a second of hesitation is disrespectful to his profession as a manager.

"Everyone, take the time to rest, drink plenty of water, and the next game will be more intense."

"Robert, you have to be tougher and more decisive to put enough pressure on your opponent."

'Arturo, you did a good job in the first half and you were our hero.

"Thomas, you have to remember not to keep the ball at your feet for too long when you're up front."

"Luo, don't be lazy for me, I can see your every move clearly off the field."

The stern Heynckes made the players dare not be careless.

Rossi's performance in the first half can be described as "doing his best".

In the second half, he had to continue to maintain this state, and the only thing waiting for him was "death".

This also reflects the irreplaceable and important role of Rossi in tactics.

Rosie drank his water, gasped and nodded, and responded, "Yes, sir!" ”

In the locker room, his firm answer reverberated and lifted everyone's spirits.

Only he, with a firm tone, responded to the manager.

The others were so tired that they only had the strength to nod.

Heynckes nodded in satisfaction, pulled the tactical board, and laid out the tactical tasks for the second half.

is still the main catch-up tactics in the first half, but the marking of Messi has been strengthened.

This important task is entrusted to Vidal to carry out.

Vidal, who has B2B attributes, has to take into account both offensive and defensive tasks, and if the restrictions on Messi are strengthened, the task will be very heavy.

To ease the pressure, Heynckes moved Jule forward to increase the midfield's interception height.

At the same time, it gives Vidal more room to move in the backfield.

Once Messi gets the ball, he will be caught by a trio of Hummels, Raphinha and Vidal.

It's a risky tactic, but it's worth the risk.

Soon, the two sides were back on the pitch and ready to start the second half of the game.

The classic eight-man midcircle tee shot tactic is once again at the Allianz Arena.

When Rossi returned the ball, he and seven other team-mates inserted into the opposing half.

When the Barcelona players were in a hurry to get back into position, Hummels' precise guidance at the back sent the ball to Ribery's feet.

Although he didn't have the speed of his peak, he became more and more proficient in his feet.

Ribery's constant change of pace on the flanks made defenders afraid to get up easily.

As soon as Alabatau, who was on the wing, stepped forward, Ribery immediately passed the ball out.

Barcelona looked a little cramped in this defence, and the defense was pressed too flat.

Alaba inverted triangle backpass, and the outflanked teammate easily formed a shot on the perimeter.

Appearing on the left side of the penalty area is Bayern's leading striker, Rossi.

At the critical moment, Buskes spotted him and intercepted as fast as he could.

Unfazed, Rossi pulled the ball back quickly with his right foot and nudged it towards the front right, avoiding the opponent's top grab.

Rakitic pounced on the other side to break the ball.

Rossi flicked the ball quickly laterally with the outside of his right foot and gently cushioned the ball to avoid Rakitic's leg-sweeping tackle.

The continuous passing outside the penalty area, although the action is chic and smart, also gives the Barcelona players time to make up for the defense.

Lenglet strode the meteor and tried to take advantage of the time when the ball was out of Rossi's control to tackle the ball on the ground.

Rossi, who had no room to adjust, also fell to the ground and slid the tackle, one step ahead of the opponent, and stabbed the ball to the right side.

Muller met the ball and shot angrily, and Pique, who was made up, blocked the ball off the line with his back.

At this point, Muller slapped his left arm with his right palm and signaled to the referee that Pique was handball while defending.

But the referee ignored it and decisively awarded a corner.

Franck Ribery takes a corner and Jule's header goes over the crossbar.

Barcelona goal kick.

Ter Schgent kept waving his hands forward, motioning for his teammates to press again.

Being pressed in their own box by Bayern made them very uncomfortable.

But even if the formation is pressed near the center circle, it is very difficult for Barcelona players to control the long balls at the back.

Rakitic's accurate judgment of the landing point allowed him to successfully point the ball to his teammates under the interference of Muller.

Rossi immediately pounced on Buskes and robbed it.

Professor Bu faked the fax buckle and wanted to confuse him with a fake move.

But Rossi didn't eat this at all, and the order he received was to break the ball, not block the passing line.

The ball was poked lightly by Rossi's toe and rolled behind the two.

Busquez immediately turned around and froze into position.

Not to be outdone, Rosie immediately became entangled with the other party.

Drip!

The referee blew the whistle and signaled for the attacker to draw a foul.

The stadium burst into boos protesting the referee's decision.

At this time, every pressure from the fans may have an impact on the referee's decision.

After withstanding Bayern's onslaught, Barcelona began to gradually find their rhythm.

The triangle formed by Busquez, Rakitic and Coutinho resisted the onslaught of Bayern's midfield.

Coupled with Vidal being taken away by Messi, Bayern's tight midfield defense began to loosen a little.

If Kimmich is replaced, then Artur has a chance to get the ball.

Gradually, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and the intensity of Bayern's frontcourt began to weaken.

Pique tucked the ball forward and into the feet of Coutinho.

Ku Bird, who dribbles the ball at high speed, knocks the ball across the right rib area.

After Messi received the ball, Bayern's defense did not immediately rush up, but retreated neatly, giving him plenty of time to observe.

Suddenly, a scalpel-like through ball with his left foot gave Suarez, who was inserted at high speed, and smashed into the penalty area to form a single knife.

Bayern fans held their breath and leaned forward as they watched the pitch intently.

I saw that although Suarez formed a single knife, the landing point was very deep, and the goalkeeper had already attacked and blocked most of the shooting angles.

Suarez flicked the ball with the outside of his left foot and hit it into the near corner of the goal from a tight angle.

But Ulreich quickly fell to the ground with his arms outstretched and lifted the ball off the line with his right palm.

Bayern, who escaped, quickly made substitution adjustments.

Goretzka replaces Ribery.

In the counter-attacking tactics just now, Barcelona only had 3 people involved in the real attack, while Bayern had 5 defensive players.

They are few in number, but they are deadly.

Ribery was unable to defend Messi at the first time due to physical reasons, so he was given the opportunity to pass the ball.

Ribery, who has been fighting for 55 minutes, has burned all his physical energy on chasing and pressing in the front court.

The Allianz Arena burst into applause and thanked the veteran for his dedication.

After the substitution of Goretzka, the Bayern midfielder was rejuvenated and continued to put pressure on Barcelona.

Valverde also immediately adjusted, replacing Artur with Dembele to increase the pace of the counter-attack.

If you defend it, you can't prevent Bayern from attacking.

And Barcelona is very uncomfortable with being suppressed by their opponents and cannot take the initiative.

Replacing Dembele is to use his speed to impact Bayern's three central defenders.

In just three minutes, he showed incredible speed on a counter-attack.

Bayern's frontcourt pressure has begun to decline, and it has been torn apart by Barcelona's patient passing.

Messi took the ball in the backfield and attacked, and the Bayern players could only fight and retreat, but no one dared to step forward and slow down the attack.

Goretzka and Vidal began to narrow the encirclement in an attempt to pinch Messi.

But Messi sent the ball forward to Roberto, who was inserted behind.

Interspersed with agility, Roberto took the ball and cut inside, drew all the defense to the middle, and distributed it to Dembele, who was unguarded on the wing.

The latter received the ball and advanced at high speed, leaving Alaba behind him at incredible speed.

Dragged back central defender Hummels, just after the defense was in place, Dembele took advantage of the unsteady standing and suddenly cut in laterally.

But this action was seen through by the experienced Hummels, who stretched out his long legs and poked the ball away.

Bilda stopped the ball and turned around, only to see Messi rushing towards him, distributing the ball to Goretzka on his side, and being knocked to the ground by Messi.

It was supposed to be an offensive foul, but Bayern didn't stop the rhythm of the counter-attack, and it was Goretzka who passed the ball to the wing.

Offense advantageous!

Kimmich ran wildly with the ball from the back, and Bayern's attacking trident stepped forward at the same time to form a counter-attacking situation.

Lewandowski cut forward from the middle of the box but was already in an offside position.

However, Muller on the ribs and Rossi at the far end were not offside and were very likely to pose a threat.

Kimmich opted for a through rib and Muller managed to counter offside and slotted into the box.

Lenglet saw that the situation was not good, and Muller could either slash alone here or pass to Rossi at the back post to hit the empty goal, which was very dangerous.

In desperation, he fell to the ground and tackled, and even brought down with the ball.

The Allianz Arena suddenly boiled.

The tackle from behind the inside of the penalty area is a minimum of a yellow card + penalty package.

If it's a red card, then Barcelona only have 10 men left to play.

The players on both sides also knew the seriousness of the matter and surrounded the referee to put pressure on him.

The fans also booed the referee Kuipers to put pressure.

Under intense pressure, Kuipers calmly analysed the situation on the pitch, confirmed it through repeated communication with the linesman on the walkie-talkie, pulled out a yellow card from his front chest pocket and pointed to the penalty spot.

Although Lenglet was not sent off with a red card, a penalty could bring Bayern back to life.

But at this moment, the tackled Muller did not get up for a long time, and covered his ankles with a painful expression.

Rossi immediately stepped forward to inquire, and soon waved to the sidelines, signaling that the team doctor needed to enter.

Heynckes was also stunned.

If Muller goes off injured, the cost of the penalty is a bit big.
