Chapter 456 See you soon!
While Guardiola's brain was running at high speed, Chelsea continued to play threatening attacks.

In fact, in addition to the taste of tactics, there is another factor that cannot be ignored.

That is the advantage that Bayern Munich has had since the opening game, and it is more based on the running coverage that spares no effort, and the desperate high-position pressing.

But these will continue to be lost with the deepening of the game and the consumption of physical energy.

This is why Guardiola desperately wanted to score a goal first, and then seek a balance between tactical oppression and physical distribution.

It's just that even now it's only halftime, and the physical energy consumption of Bayern players is also very high.

This is a bit like you are participating in a 5000-meter or 400-meter race, but if you run 100 meters or even [-] meters in the first few laps, you will definitely not be able to keep up later.

So now that Pan Yi is changing his style of play and focusing on the side attack, Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso can also get opportunities to get in frequently.

This is also because the physical energy consumption of Bayern Munich players is very high, which is no longer enough for them to cover and run like they did at the beginning.

Whether it is Alaba or Ram, after many sprints, now they need to take a break.

At this time, Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso pressed up, and if the two of them defended, they would feel a little powerless.

Of course, this physical factor was also considered by Pan Yi in changing his tactical formation.

Just to take advantage of your illness and kill you!
And as Bayern's physical fitness continues to be consumed, such opportunities will become more and more obvious, and Chelsea will attack more and more.

In the 35th minute, Hazard sent a corner kick from the left, Van Dijk grabbed the first spot in the middle and scored with a header!
But the ball went a little high, flew directly over the crossbar, and landed on the top net.

Neuer took a goal kick and handed the ball to Ram on the wing.

But as soon as Ram handed the ball to Harvey Alonso in front, he was intercepted by Kanter, who was actively grabbing, and then Kanter took a long shot after taking a step forward!

The power of this shot was great, but the angle was too straight, and Neuer threw him straight.

Chelsea's offense was wave after wave, and consecutive shots posed a threat, which also excited the Blues fans at the scene.

After being silent for most of the time, they also began to wave their flags and scarves, shouting loudly to cheer for their team!
The main thing was the half hour after the opening, it was indeed too depressing to play.

The entire Bayern Munich team was fighting like chicken blood, crushing Chelsea in a very embarrassing situation, and the front of the goal was even more dangerous.

Well now, half an hour has passed, Bayern Munich's physical fitness began to decline, and after many exciting games between Guardiola and Pan Yi, Chelsea began to gradually find the feeling of the game.

This is the Chelsea that Blues fans are used to seeing!

Chelsea, unbeaten in the Premier League and Champions League for two seasons!

Chelsea to compete for the glory of the seven crowns!

Only such Chelsea can really excite the fans!
On the field, Chelsea also played more freely amidst the cheers of the fans.

Just three minutes after Kante's long shot, Chelsea created another chance.

After David Luiz intercepted the ball in midfield, he quickly handed it over to seat B.

Seat B pushed forward after receiving the ball, and before Vidal came close to press, he made a through ball.

The ball was sent forward against the turf, just behind Boateng and Javi Martinez.

This is where the changes in Pan Yi's side attack routine.

Mainly playing on the side, but when seeing Bayern's defensive forces leaning to the side, they will come to a combination of side and center, and the main game is to hit east and west!
It is precisely because of this that Bayern's two central defenders are positioned relatively close to the two sideways at this time, resulting in a relatively large space between the two.

Seat B was also tactfully aware of this gap, and accurately gave a through ball.

On the other side, Chelsea's big center Lukaku, who is at the forefront, is like a sharp arrow, starting quickly!
He skimmed between the two defenders of Bayern Munich, turned offside, received the ball before everyone else and sprinted into the penalty area.

This is a one-shot!

At this time, there is only Neuer left in front of Lukaku.

The fans at the San Siro Stadium couldn't help standing up.

"Bernardo Silva goes straight, one-handed!"

"Lukaku is very fast, he cuts into the box and faces Neuer directly!"

"He feinted and faked a shot. Neuer went down!"

"Lukaku took the ball out, trying to pass Neuer and then hit an empty goal. But Neuer's second reaction was very fast. He was still lying on the ground, but he swung his right hand and hit the ball!"

"Lukaku had to chase the ball, but in this way, the best shot opportunity has been missed. Boateng and Javi Martinez are also back in place."

"In desperation, Lukaku had no choice but to pass the ball back to Hazard who followed behind."

"Hazard shot directly! He wanted to shoot quickly while Neuer was still in position, but he pursued the angle a little too much, and the ball brushed the post and went wide. It's a pity!"

"It can be said that this was a direct contest between the striker and the goalkeeper, but Neuer won. This time he decisively abandoned the goal and attacked, showing the determination and calmness of the German goalkeeper."

"On the pitch, what we see is an action that happens in a split second, but through the slow-motion replay, we can see that Lukaku made at least two fake shots to confuse the goalkeeper before waving the ball, and even one of them was already cheated. Pass Neuer and let him fall."

"But Neuer's reaction was really too fast! He also predicted the direction of Lukaku's waving ball, and before the ball was about to pass beyond his control range, he stretched out his hand and touched the ball."

"A very decisive touch! Lukaku and Hazard looked very sorry as Chelsea missed another great chance to score."

"However, judging from the course of the game, after 10 minutes, Bayern Munich's physical fitness has declined. Chelsea not only stabilized their position, but also played a wave of very threatening offensives in succession. They shot very effectively several times in a row. Threats, especially Lukaku's one-handed one-handed, and Hazard's subsequent shot."

"Now it's Guardiola's turn to rethink Bayern Munich's tactics."

"At the beginning of the game, Bayern could also rely on their abundant physical fitness and efficient tactical execution of the players on the field to contain Chelsea. Guardiola also took the lead in changing the formation."

"But now with the decline in physical fitness, the offensive and defensive positioning rate of Bayern players has declined, and the 4-3-2-1 flat Christmas tree formation that Pan Yi sacrificed also made it easier for Chelsea to pull through the combination of sides and center. Get a neutral position, and then create a murderous opportunity."

"It can be seen that Chelsea is getting better!"
-
Pan Yi, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help hugging his head when he saw Lukaku miss a single shot, feeling deeply regretful.

But it can't be helped, that's the reality, especially when you're playing against the best goalkeeper in the world.

This is not Pan Yi's nonsense. In the 2014 World Cup, Neuer was the best goalkeeper, and he also entered the top three in the Ballon d'Or selection.

Moreover, in the subconscious of ordinary fans, it feels that it is easy to score single-handedly, and a good striker can basically score.

But what about the facts?

Statistics show that in the five major leagues, the average single goal rate is only... 32%!

In other words, these players who can play in the best leagues in the world can score one goal when they score three singles, which is already an average level.

Generally, if you can get 2 into one single-handedly, you are a master!

Looking at history, the player with the highest single-handed success rate should be Ronaldo.

Although there is no data to support him, he has the title of alien, his shooting skills are superb, and he likes to shoot after the goalkeeper. The high success rate should be taken for granted.

Having said that, Lu Yuanwai is of course not as good as Ronaldo, so it is indeed understandable that he missed a single shot when facing Neuer.

As long as the mentality is not affected, just come again next time!

When Pan Yi looked at Lukaku again, he saw that he was indeed a little regretful at first, but he quickly got up from the ground, ran back quickly, and rejoined the game. The whole person looked calm.

This made Pan Yi on the sidelines very satisfied and applauded vigorously:

"Good job, just kick like this! Take your time, don't worry, more opportunities are waiting for you!"

Pan Yi yelled this so loudly that even Guardiola in front of the visiting coach's bench heard it.

Guardiola touched his bald head and stood up immediately.

He knows that now the game is starting to tilt in Chelsea's favour.

And of course, he had already prepared in advance the change of tactics after his physical fitness declined at the beginning of the game.

Now is the time, otherwise it will be too late if the ball is lost.

Under the opponent's attack, this 4-2-4 formation has too many loopholes!
What Guardiola was thinking about just now is how to reduce his physical consumption and better deal with Pan Yi's 4-3-2-1 tactics...

Now he has thought about it.

After Guardiola kept shouting and gesturing on the field, Bayern Munich changed again.

Ribery and Arjen Robben returned to the midfield position, while Harvey Martinez, who was originally in the central defender position, moved forward to form a three-man midfielder with Harvey Alonso and Vidal, and Chelsea's three-man midfielder All courts stand against each other.

Thomas Muller on the front line also returned to the front midfielder again, and Bayern's overall formation became a 3-5-1-1 position.

In this way, the two full-backs Alaba and Lahm move more in their ribs, which is actually more like a "side midfielder".

In this way, together with the three midfielders and two full-backs who were originally in the midfield, a densely populated copper wall was formed at the front of the penalty area.

This is not quite the same as the bus tactics. Due to the offensive attributes of the midfielder and the midfielder, plus the supporting midfielder Muller in front and the forward Lewandowski, Bayern can still play a quick and effective attack in an instant.

Thus, the tactical battle between Pan Yi and Guardiola officially entered the third round!

4-3-2-1 VS 3-5-1-1！

However, although Guardiola's tactics can restrain Chelsea's three midfielders from controlling the midfield and the wing to a certain extent, but now Bayern's players on the field have declined a lot in terms of tactical execution due to their physical decline.

Therefore, in the final stage of the first half, Chelsea is still the main attacker and Bayern is the main defender.

"Harry Kane got the ball and shot! Oops the ball was a little high."

"Lukaku header! But it was caught by Neuer."

"Eden Hazard curls the ball into the far corner! Another great save from Neuer."

"Starting from 10 minutes, Chelsea gradually regained the feeling of the game and played a wave of violent offensive."

"Chelsea's two wings played very actively, Harry Kane and Lukaku both frequently created threats, including Hazard."

"But Chelsea also missed a few excellent scoring opportunities, and now the two sides are still zero to zero."

"Ah, a whistle! The referee finally blew the whistle to end the first half."

"Nil to zero, the two sides scored a goalless draw, and no one was able to break through the other's goal."

"Judging from the 45 minutes of the first half, both sides played well."

"Bayern Munich created consecutive chances after the start, but they failed to break through Chelsea's goal. The Blues made efforts in the second half, and played wave after wave of very threatening attacks in the last ten minutes, but also failed. Goal against Bayern Munich."

"In addition to the wonderful performances of the players of the two teams, the battle between Pan Yi and Guardiola is also breathtaking."

"During the 45 minutes of the first half, they actually changed three sets of formations. They have seen their moves to such an extent. I can only shout "see you soon."

"Of course, from my point of view, I will be more optimistic about Chelsea."

"Because Bayern Munich's physical fitness has declined, the press and pressure are obviously not as good as the opening. I believe this situation will become more obvious in the second half."

"No matter how exciting the tactical game between the two sides is, in the end it is up to the players to execute it on the field. If the physical fitness declines, the execution strength will also decline, and the tactical power will be greatly reduced."

"In fact, with Guardiola's last change before the end of the first half, it can be seen that the Bayern players are a little bit powerless."

"Of course, after a 15-minute break and adjustments at halftime, there may still be many variables between the two teams, which will also affect the direction of the second half."

"So, after a goalless first half that was actually very good, let's watch a commercial and move on to the second half!"

……

……

……

"I'm not born strong, I'm just born strong!"

"If you know football, you don't need to know the emperor?"

"Look for a job, talk to the boss directly!"

"XX Kidney Treasure, he likes me too."

"Snow Beer, Chelsea's official designated beer..."

……

……

……
-
As soon as the first half of the game ended, the players immediately ran into the player tunnel and went to their locker rooms to rest.

And Chelsea's coaching staff got together immediately and quickly exchanged tactics for the second half.

Arteta believes that it is impossible for Bayern Munich in the second half to maintain the high-pressure tactics of the first half.

But if they are completely broken, that is not enough.

After all, the will and quality of the Germans are still very strong, otherwise they would not have broken through the gate of Real Madrid at the last moment for two consecutive games.

"Guardiola may play a more balanced game and not be as offensive as the first half, so as to keep his players' physical fitness until the end of the game." This is Arteta's prediction.

"What if it's tied at 90 minutes and it goes to overtime?" asked Steve Holland.

"He may not have considered overtime at all." Pan Yi laughed.

This is actually something that can't be done after using the "break the boat" style of play.

The most typical example is the Madrid derby in the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final in Pan Yi's previous life.

Atlético Madrid did a great job throughout the 90 minutes, pressing and taking a 1-0 lead.

As a result, Ramos scored an absolute goal at the last moment of the game, and then his physical fitness collapsed in overtime, and he was completely slaughtered by Real Madrid unilaterally.

It cannot be said that Simeone's tactics were a failure. In fact, his style of play was extremely successful, and he almost won the championship, but he lost at the last shudder.

For Pan Yi now, the situation is actually the same. As long as Guardiola's tactics are prevented from scoring within 90 minutes, Chelsea has already won.

But Pan Yi didn't want to do that.

He wants to resolve the battle within 10 minutes and achieve a real tactical knockdown on Guardiola!
After returning to the locker room of the home team, Pan Yi organized and pondered his thoughts and words, and said:

"Time is running out, so I'll try to keep the story short."

Pan Yi's words made all the players look at him.

The development of the game in the first half actually made them all feel a little depressed.

Being kicked by Bayern Munich at the beginning, of course it was not very pleasant;

Later, after Pan Yi and Guardiola continuously adjusted the game, Chelsea had the advantage on the field, but the attackers in the frontcourt, including Lukaku, Harry Kane, and Hazard, all missed scoring opportunities in succession, which of course was not good.

Even the strikers are a little stressed.

After all, this is the final of the Champions League!
Missing an opportunity in such an important game sometimes has a heavy price to pay!
But Pan Yi quickly helped them relieve the pressure:
"Don't worry, we will score sooner or later, as long as you do what I say."

The players listened attentively.

They all know that Pan Yi's midfield adjustments can often work.

That's why they regard Pan Yi as their god!
"After half an hour of madness in the first half, Bayern Munich's physical energy consumption was very high, and you must have felt it in the last ten minutes."

"The second half will be more obvious, so their pressure will not be so strong, and what we need to do is to take advantage of the time when their pressure is reduced, take advantage of the opportunity to control the ball and rhythm, and then control the game."

"And our current formation is 4-3-2-1. This formation can deal with Bayern's wing attack, but it is still not very flexible."

"Therefore, I will change to 3-2-4-1 in the second half and push the formation forward! Especially our midfielder, we must push our possession area as far as possible to the opponent's 30-meter area to the center line. .”

Hearing what Pan Yi said, everyone frowned.

It is mainly the 3-2-4-1 formation, which Chelsea players are already very familiar with.

With the current starting players, in this formation, the three central defenders will be Ake, Van Dijk and Azpilicueta, and the double midfielders will still be David Luiz and Kanter.

Marcos Alonso was pushed to the frontcourt, forming four attackers with Hazard, B seat, and Harry Kane, and cooperated with center Lukaku.

Using this formation means that Chelsea will attack with all their strength to defeat Bayern's defense!
Then, Pan Yi said: "Besides the 3-5-2, this formation is the one we have practiced the most and used the most in actual combat, so I don't need to say too much."

"You just need to control the game and attack the opponent in the way we are familiar with and are good at. Pay attention to maintaining width and depth, pulling the opponent's defensive formation, creating loopholes, and interspersing strikes."

"Believe me, guys, as long as you play at your usual training level, the final victory will definitely belong to us!"

In response to the head coach's order, the Chelsea players immediately shouted! ——
"In the last ten minutes of the first half, it was the embodiment of Chelsea's true strength."

In the locker room of the visiting team, Guardiola is also making adjustments in the midfield, analyzing the tactics of both the enemy and us.

"Being suppressed by us at the beginning is actually just a tactic of Pan Yi. We must not be confused."

"They made far more dangerous shots than us in the time since they changed tactics!"

"And obviously, in the second half they will continue to take advantage of the momentum and continue to attack, and they will probably attack even more aggressively."

"I don't want to play overtime, and according to my understanding of Pan Yi, he doesn't want to! So it can be expected that they will be even more difficult to parry in the second half."

After hearing Guardiola's words, the Bayern Munich players all showed serious expressions.

They are the ones who have played face to face with Chelsea players on the pitch and of course they know the manager is right.

Chelsea really started their strength and it was really hard to resist!

With a score of zero to zero in the first half, it can be said that luck favored Bayern.

Guardiola added emphasis:
"I guess Pan Yi will change his lineup in the second half, but I admit that I can't guess what will happen to him now."

"But no matter what, we must not allow Chelsea to smoothly control the ball from our 30-meter area to the center line. Once we enter our half, we will grab it, and we will spare no effort to grab it."

"You can imagine how dangerous it would be to have players like Eden Hazard, B seats or Harry Kane with the ball in front of our box."

"Also, pay attention to their full-back assists. Whether it's Marcos Alonso or Azpilicueta, when they go in, it's often when Chelsea attack."

Then, he posed on the tactical board:
“为了达到这两个战术目的，我会在下半场主动求变，从3-5-1-1转成4-3-3。”

"The back line is still Alaba, Boateng, Xavi Martinez, Lahm, the midfield becomes Xabi Alonso, Vidal, Thomas Muller, the forwards are Ribery, Arjen Robben And center Lewandowski."

"The focus here is our three midfielders. We must pay attention to what I just said. Don't let Chelsea comfortably control the ball from our 30-meter area to the center line!"

Harvey Alonso, Vidal and Thomas Muller also nodded in unison, expressing that they understood Guardiola's arrangement.

After seeing the players' statements, Guardiola nodded heavily and applauded vigorously:

"Guys, this is the Champions League final! I know you probably want to win this trophy more than I do and add luster to your career!"

"Right now, Chelsea is standing in front of us, the scariest team in Europe in the past two seasons, but we are not easy to mess with!"

"Our strength is also better than last season. I firmly believe that we have the ability and determination to beat our opponents, even if they are Chelsea!"

"But it also requires you to put in [-]% effort, and each of you must grit your teeth and withstand the pressure of the game and the opponent."

"When both sides are exhausted physically, it's all about willpower! As long as we get through the second half, we will usher in the final victory!"

"Go, go fight and prove to the world that Bayern Munich is the king of Europe!"

Following Guardiola's hoarse shouts, there were endless shouts in the locker room, and everyone was full of fighting spirit!
