Chapter 65 Champions League Formation Change (Four More Subscriptions!) )
In the quarter-finals of the 2005/2006 Champions League, Bayern Munich played AC Milan at home.
This race is known as a cross-division chase!
Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich have slaughtered Europe's biggest clubs in recent years, but they have repeatedly hit a wall when facing AC Milan.
There have been several collisions in Europe without a win, which made them directly describe this game as blood suppression when they faced AC Milan.
Bayern Munich have been outstanding in the league in recent times.
They are on a 10-game winning streak and are building on a 10-game winning streak against AC Milan.
There are also major changes to the lineup.
Kahn was absent and teenager Rensing was in goal for Bayern Munich.
Bayern coach Magath gave up the veteran Lizarazu and resolutely chose Lahm as a full-back.
And in AC Milan's lineup, there are also big changes.
Suker did not appear in the midfield position, but in the left midfield, and it is clear that Ancelotti wants to use the combination of Suker + Pirlo to further expand the control of the midfield.
The starting line-ups for both sides are as follows:
Bayern Munich (4-3-1-2):
Goalkeeper: Lensing.
Defenders: Ismail, Sagnor, Lucio, Lahm.
Midfielders: Salihamic, Schweinsteiger, Hargreaves.
Forwards: Pizarro, Ballack, Mackay.
AC Milan (4-3-1-2):
Goalkeeper: Dida.
Defenders: Cafu, Nesta, Stam, Simic.
Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Suker.
Forwards: Gilardino, Kaka, Shepchenko.
Heading into the Champions League, there have been significant tactical changes for both sides.
The tactical system that was hidden in the past has also been taken out.
Boban once said that the Champions League is a process of continuous learning and adaptation, and whoever has strong adaptability and learns faster will be one step closer to the championship.
The same is true for AC Milan, even because they are at the top, they have been studied more often and need to be more careful.
Ancelotti's formation was uncanny.
For example, he pulled Suker back into midfield, a move that no one expected.
Bayern Munich arranged a series of plans against Suker on the left flank, and seeing such a position instantly felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
"Come on!!"
Suker yelled and followed his teammates out of the locker room.
In this game, he has a lot of room to play.
Despite being in midfield, in addition to controlling the tempo, Ancelotti also gave Suker a forward job.
That's right!
It's the shadow hidden behind Shepchenko.
As soon as he had the chance, he was able to go straight forward and score with his individual ability.
Tactically, Shepchenko made some sacrifices.
He will draw some defense for Suker while also creating a lane forward for Suker.
In the league, Carlo Ancelotti rested Suker.
And when he came to the Champions League, he was really dead!
Sooke stood in the tunnel and turned his head to look over.
The god of war Ballack and other Bundesliga young people, as well as the young version of the piggy Schweinsteiger and Lahm.
When Suker turned his head, Schweinsteiger also looked at Suke.
Suker is a representative player of the current younger generation.
has just won the European Golden Boy Award, and his performance in the league and the Champions League is also extremely outstanding.
Suker is bound to be an opponent that Bayern Munich will need to be wary of in this game.
"Ready to play!"
The referee shouted in front.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
The moment the players from both sides stepped out of the pitch, the cheers suddenly became intense.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ——
The entire Allianz Arena roared with tsunami cheers.
Shepchenko's AC Milan and Ballack's Bayern Munich.
These two top giants from different leagues will face each other directly in the Champions League, and this kind of game is bound to attract a lot of attention.
It's not just fans on both sides.
Even fans from many other leagues are watching the Mars collision match.
The captains of both sides exchange flags and pick sides.
Suke was constantly moving his body.
The weather in Germany is still a little cold, and when you exhale, the heat rises.
For this game, AC Milan wore a white away shirt with an inner lining on it to keep warm and gloves at the same time.
In order not to cool down his body, Suke kept jumping.
And this scene was also captured by the German and Italian commentators.
German commentary station, the commentator said in a solemn tone:
"Suker is warming up aggressively and we need to be wary of this Croatian player, he is too dangerous up front, even after the retreat, we still can't take it lightly!"
"Carlo Ancelotti has Suker and Shepchenko on the left flank, and the left wing must be the main wing of AC Milan's attack, which requires us to spend more energy defending!"
On the other side, the Italian commentary station Aldo. Serrera.
"Suker's presence in midfield was a surprise, but in order to increase the impact in front of goal, Ancelotti chose Shepchenko to partner Gilardino, and both Suker and Kaka can hide behind them and launch a hidden attack!"
"We can look forward to what kind of performance AC Milan will play after the change of formation!"
At the coach's bench, Ancelotti looked at Suker and nodded slightly.
If it weren't for Suker's insistence, Ancelotti would still want to develop Suker as a midfielder.
Suker ticks all the boxes for a midfield maestro.
But this guy just wants to play as a striker, and out of respect, Ancelotti compromises.
For now, though, Suker's positioning is still biased towards midfield.
Therefore, based on the idea of what can be used, Ancelotti put Suker in the midfield position.
Can Suker play in midfield?
That's!
Have a big picture! There is a pass! Organized! There is a penetrating straight plug! There are also rhythm controls for lateral transfers! There are more attributes of interception and running to death!
This guy is the template for the midfield!
Players from both sides come to the sides of the pitch.
Bayern Munich kicked off first.
Suker shouted from the rear; "Rush at the beginning, don't let your body cool down!"
Shepchenko turned his head and made an OK gesture.
Beep!!!
The whistle blows and the game begins.
Bayern Munich passed the ball backwards, and with the loud cheers of the audience, the Champions League battle began.
"It's game on! Bayern Munich began to draw back passes to attract AC Milan players into the half, but the Milan players were very impactful and Shepchenko ran wildly.
Bang!!
The ball at the feet of Shepchenko, flying to the right.
After receiving the ball, Lahm immediately passed forward to Ballack.
Bayern Munich almost had the ball cut off by AC Milan in front of the penalty area.
Centre-back Sagnol exhaled slowly, and even now he has lingering palpitations.
It's dangerous if it's stealed.
The ball is at Ballack's feet.
Pirlo immediately shouted; "Press it up!"
Before he could shout, Suke had already rushed over.
Bang!
Suker slammed into Ballack and sought a steal.
If it had been before, Suker would have avoided the collision.
But his body is now ready to fight to a certain extent.
During the dogfight, Ballack shifted the ball laterally to his teammate and was about to move to the other side, but Suke followed him.
Barak frowned.
This imp is a little tough!
Suke didn't dare to let Barak go.
This guy is definitely the playmaking heart of Bayern Munich's attack.
Let Ballack play comfortably, and the whole Bayern Munich will be comfortable.
The opposite is true!
Ballack is uncomfortable, and Bayern is uncomfortable!
At this point, Schweinsteiger passes the ball to Ballack.
Ballack had just received the ball when Suker stepped over again.
The two wrestled and refused to give in to each other.
Suddenly, Ballack took a step back and Suker fell forward with an unsteady center of gravity, but before he could fall, Suke poked the ball out of the touchline with his toes.
"Well done!"
Pirlo patted Suker the back.
Despite not being able to make tackles, this constant disruption and pressure can put pressure on the opponent.
Bayern Munich kicks the ball off the sideline.
The ball was still thrown to Ballack.
Ballack saw that Suker was about to rush over, chested the ball and turned to keep Suker behind him, and passed the ball horizontally to Schweinsteiger.
"Up, up, up!"
Barak urged.
As soon as Schweinsteiger stabilized the ball, he suddenly roared.
The ball was poked out at his feet.
Gattuso completes the destruction with a sliding shovel.
"Gattuso! Awesome! ”
The ball flew forward, and Kaka and Salihamic were both rushing towards the landing spot.
But Suker believed Kaka was faster.
Therefore, he rushed directly diagonally towards the middle.
Sure enough, Kaka took control of the ball first.
"Suke!"
Kaka yelled and turned to pass.
The pass was a little small, and Suker had to slow down and wait, while he looked at Shepchenko and Gilardino on the left and right.
Eventually, Suke rubbed his feet.
The ball arced in the air and flew to the side where Shepchenko had cut in.
Shepicenko catches the ball and pulls it horizontally, pulls out the space to shoot, and shoots directly!
Bite!!!
The ball hits the crossbar and flies off the baseline.
"Ah~~~~~!!!!!h
Su Ke hugged his head, his face full of regret: "It's just a little bit!" ”
However, Suker was not in a hurry at all, and the attack was played.
"AC Milan's counterattack, it was really fast! From the beginning of Gattuso's steal, Milan entered a state of counterattack, Kaka went to chase the ball, Suker directly diagonally forward, rushing towards the middle, Shepchenko and Gilardino were scattered on both sides, and Suke's ball was also just right, after Shepchenko received the ball, he made a decisive horizontal shot! This shot almost scored! ”
