Chapter 534: Shut Up, I Know What I'm Doing

The more high-level the game, the more the coach's coaching ability and tactical literacy.

Especially in the Champions League final, although the 22 players on the pitch are playing, they are all doing the same thing, executing the manager's tactics.

Bayern's offensive tactics are to use the fullbacks to move forward to attack the goal, and with the forward insertion of the forward midfielder Muller, it is easy to form a three-point outflanking in the penalty area.

When the ball reaches the feet of Real Madrid, it is more through the retreat of the striker player, adding a short pass receiving point in the front court, while bringing out the opponent's defense and attacking the space behind the defensive line.

But as the game progressed, Real Madrid's sharpness on the offensive end declined significantly.

Because too many of Real Madrid's players are involved in the attacking organization in their own half, Bayern have the opportunity to calmly deploy at the back.

Too many players are behind, and Real Madrid's attack becomes very passive.

Zidane off the field saw this situation and kept urging the players to pass the ball faster and run faster.

In his opinion, only by lifting the overall speed can he overwhelm his opponent with a stormy attack.

For Bayern, which maintains a very close wholeness, this move is like a punch on cotton, and there is nowhere to use force.

The first half ended quickly, with the two sides tied 0:0 and went into the break.

The high-speed offensive and defensive transformation has made the consumption of physical energy on both sides unprecedentedly large.

Flick didn't do much tactical set-up in the dressing room, instead giving the players plenty of rest.

Zinedine Zidane is different.

Only a five-minute break was given, and the second-half tactics began to be laid out.

In his opinion, if you want to break through Bayern's defense, speed is the key.

Passing away is what he has always emphasized, and this time is no exception.

Although the Real Madrid players nodded in agreement, even they didn't know if it would work.

Soon, the second half began, with Bayern kicking off.

Real Madrid continued to press forward on Bayern's backfield, and Rossi, as a single arrow, ran to Alaba as the first time.

With the blessing of the "oppression" attribute, Rao is an Alaba with outstanding skills and speed, and he does not dare to be careless.

In cooperation with his teammates, he used his skillful passing and getting rid of the ball to make Real Madrid's forward pressing lose his aggression.

After Bayern managed to pick the ball out of the back, Real Madrid's second line of defence continued to press.

Since Carlo Ancelotti, Bayern's midfield has transformed into a technical midfielder.

But no matter how it turns, there is a defensive midfielder around to protect him.

However, Vidal left Bayern Munich in the winter window, and Martinez's form has dropped badly, forcing Flick to make adjustments.

In order to alleviate the weakening of the defense caused by the heavy use of civilian midfield, Flick asked the frontcourt players to actively counter-attack after conceding the goal, and on the other hand, asked the backline, including Manuel Neuer, to actively press forward and compress the distance between the three lines to protect the two central midfielders.

In the 50th minute, Vinicius lost possession after being constantly compressed by the opponent.

Bayern also seized this opportunity, and Thiago sent a long diagonal pass from the back.

Kimmich, who cut forward, won the ball on the right and sent it forward to Gnabry.

Don't look at Bayern's slow pace, but with just two passes, you can quickly push the ball to the edge of the Real Madrid penalty area.

Gnabry received the ball and struck the middle with the arch of his foot, and the outflanked Muller was surrounded by three Real Madrid defenders.

After a moment of confusion, the ball bounced to Kimmich's feet on the right rib.

In this position, Kimmich can pass and shoot.

After less than a second of thought, Kimmich passed the ball towards the back post.

A great arc that bypassed everyone at the front point and was topped by Koeman's forward jump at the back point.

Courtois moved near the post and stood on his feet with both hands tucking the close-range header over the crossbar.

Ooh!

A loud sigh echoed through the stadium.

It was the closest attack to a goal since the start of the game.

Zinedine Zidane quickly saw the problems in his team.

Lack of defence and movement in midfield.

Due to the mobility and skill of Bayern's three defenders, Real Madrid did not dare to press forward, so there was occasionally a disconnect between the two central and front lines.

It was on this occasion that Thiago took advantage of the opportunity to quickly smash the ball through the midfield defence.

Bayern corner.

Even without Jule and Hummels, Bayern are guaranteed to be high enough in the attack from set-pieces.

Lewandowski, Koeman, and Muller are all over 180cm tall, and midfielder Goretzka is close to 190cm.

After the corner, Lewandowski swung back in front of the point, Goretzka was ill-prepared in the box, and his header went slightly over the crossbar and missed the goal.

Although he couldn't get on the scoresheet, Courtois didn't react to his header in this attack.

This is not a good thing for Real Madrid.

[Now for Real Madrid, not being able to penetrate the opponent's defense has become a problem that plagues Zidane! ] 】

[Real Madrid can't beat Bayern, but Bayern can take advantage of Real Madrid's carelessness to play a sharp counterattack! ] 】

[Zidane must adjust! ] 】

[Real Madrid's midfield only passes, not control, and can't threaten Bayern at all! ] 】

Zidane himself knows that the team has no momentum to move forward.

Luka Modric was also limited by his opponents, relying only on two full-backs and being very slow.

"Pass the ball, pass the ball!"

"Don't stand still and wait for the ball, get moving!"

Zinedine Zidane roared off the pitch and made the players move quickly.

But it didn't work out well.

Kroos was heavily defended by Bayern and couldn't pass the ball at the first time.

And it was these two seconds of hesitation, Bayern's overall defense line had already been put in place, and it was too late to pass it at this time.

Another missed chance to fight back.

Zidane was so angry that he jumped up directly, turned around and shouted angrily.

But as soon as he turned around, there was an uproar in the stadium.

Kroos was in possession and was cut off from behind by Coman and pushed to the ground.

The referee decided it was a reasonable scramble and did not blow for an offensive foul, but signaled for the attack to continue.

Zidane looked back and saw that the opponent's attack had already been in front of the goal, and kept yelling at the field.

Coman dribbled into the box and calmly pushed the gap between the goalkeeper's legs in the face of Thibaut Courtois and Varane.

The Belgian goalkeeper, who is experienced in defending, opens his legs and squats quickly when attacking, blocking the angle of the opponent's striker as much as possible.

He sat very quickly, but the opponent's shot was very fast, and it passed before he sat on the ground.

Fortunately, Courtois's left hand blocked the path of the ball and changed the original line.

When the ball was about to fly off the line, the relentless Coman chased back and passed the ball back, but Courtois got up and blocked it again.

[Courtois makes two saves in a row to defuse Koeman's shot! ] 】

[It's amazing! 】

[Let's see the process of this shooting!] 】

[Koeman's crotch-piercing shot made the goalkeeper very uncomfortable to defend! ] 】

[But Courtois's rich experience allows the body to instinctively control the left hand and block the ball!] 】

Real Madrid, who escaped the catastrophe, cleared Bayern's corner kick and reorganized the attack.

The ball comes to the left side.

Rossi, who received the ball, saw Mendy cutting forward on the wing, but did not pass the ball over at the first time, but chose to go to the middle.

This is a serious violation of Zidane's tactics.

And if the ball had been passed to Mendy just now, Real Madrid would have had a chance to attack from the wing.

"Luo, why do you pass such a shit ball, your eyes?"

"Pass the ball, pass it to me!"

Rao is Zidane, no matter how much he loves Rossi, he can't help but scold.

After Rossi completed the pass, he heard Zidane's angry shouting, and he didn't have time to explain, so he could only respond with short words: "Shut up, I know what I'm doing!" ”
