I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 158 The incumbent beats the ex!

"Zhao's goal completely sent Bayern Munich into the abyss! The huge lead of five goals made this game lose its suspense!"

The reporters on the sidelines pointed their cameras in the direction of Zhao Jinge and kept pressing the shutter. In the current Premier League, as long as there is news about Zhao Jinge, it can always attract the eager attention of fans.

"Zhao said before the game that Bayern Munich is one of his favorite opponents. He will score goals every time he meets Bayern Munich. Manchester City will step on Bayern's corpse and enter the Champions League quarter-finals without any suspense.

Now that the goal has been scored and the suspense of promotion has disappeared, it depends on whether Manchester City can beat Bayern Munich at home and achieve a home and away double win against the German team.

I think for Manchester City fans at this moment, this is a goal worthy of their cheering for a long time! "

And this is just the beginning. If King Nan is not completely beaten down today, this group of militant young people will not stop!
After celebrating, the Manchester City players greeted each other and ran towards their own half. The whole team did not relax because of the goal, and was still in a high state of concentration.

Andy Gray looked at the orderly Manchester City players on the field, and he was not stingy with his words of praise:
"This is the reason why Manchester City has been playing better and better since the New Year. The strong tactical execution coupled with the flashes of inspiration from the top stars, and the will to fight until the last moment will not let up, let Guardiola's Manchester City. Excellent chemistry.

Blue Moon fans can look forward to their higher glory, and now this Manchester City team is definitely at the forefront of Europe's top team!

Look at these young men full of fighting spirit, as they said before the game, they will not stop until they completely beat Bayern! "

After celebrating Zhao Jinge's goal, Guardiola is also very satisfied with the enthusiasm of the players, that's what it is!
To play against a strong team like Bayern, you have to fight to the death. Don’t think that it is safe to lead by one goal or two goals. They may pay you back one or two goals within a few minutes at any time.

Today's Guashuai is not only satisfied with advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, he wants to completely smash the pride of the German team at his home court. One of the happiest things in the world is that he lives better than his predecessor!
Guardiola will never stop attacking if he doesn't beat Bayern until he gives up and fights back today, he just wants to do it to the end!

After the kick-off again, Lahm, Vidal and other ball-handling players were hesitant and wanted to withdraw their position to help the team stabilize the attack first, but Ancelotti, who had a serious face on the sidelines, continued to instruct him to move forward. pressure,
Looking at the firm instructions of the head coach, Lahm and others can only continue their halftime activities in Manchester City according to Ancelotti's intention.

But there is one thing to say, the persistence of the Italians quickly stabilized the minds of Bayern's frontcourt players. The head coach is not worried at all. What are they afraid of?Just keep attacking!

At this time of desperation, Ancelotti showed the courage of his world-class coach. Even if Bayern loses today, they will stand and die!

Manchester City originally wanted to take advantage of Bayern's frantic forward-pressing formation to fight back several times, but Bayern's forward-pressing attack forced Manchester City's midfielders to retreat to their own half and wait patiently for the next opportunity.

Guardiola tilted his head and glanced at Ancelotti, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.

He deserves to be the coach who has won three Champions League titles, and the Italian's coaching level is worthy of a historical level.

Indeed, at this time, letting the players pressing up the midfielder withdraw will undoubtedly strengthen Bayern's midfield defense, but it is easy for Bayern to withdraw, but it is difficult to press out.

If the Bayern players, whose physical strength is not dominant, dissipate the anger in their hearts during the retreat, it will be a headache to bring it up again.

And if Bayern doesn't put enough defensive pressure on Manchester City, how much difference will Bayern's defensive strength make if they withdraw or not?

Ancelotti is to let Bayern's midfielders continue to maintain pressure on Manchester City's defense. He would rather have fewer people defending than let Manchester City's defense get a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

"He's betting! Betting on our backcourt will make mistakes, betting on Lewandowski, betting on Robery, today's state will score goals!"

Guardiola quickly understood what Ancelotti was thinking, and he became worried.

Lewandowski is definitely one of the strongest centers in today's football. He has also scored more than 20 league goals this season. Who would dare to watch such a superstar in his best season? Lower him?

This is the five-bowl tofu driver who has staged the Nine-Five Supreme this season. Let’s not talk about the others. In the football world, whoever dares to underestimate Lewand’s role will definitely suffer a big loss.

Coupled with the Robbery combination that is gradually entering the state and Thomas Muller who is constantly involving Manchester City's defense, Bayern's frontcourt offensive ability is still the second-top in Europe.

Manchester City's defense really may not be able to withstand the offensive of the Munich black.

"Roben! The Dutch quickly advanced along the side! Clichy stepped forward to intercept, and Lahm leaned forward. It was a wonderful one-two, and Robben was about to cut inside!"

Amidst Andy Gray's exclamation, Robben and Lahm cooperated and easily got rid of Chrissy.

When the Dutchman cut inside to the top of the arc of Manchester City's penalty area and was about to show his unsolvable shot, Kante, who came to defend, had no choice but to hug Robben with his hands and received a foul and a yellow card. The cost prevented Robben from advancing with the ball this time.

Bayern got a free kick in an excellent position and gave it to Lewandowski to take the penalty. Lewandowski looked at the distance from the free kick to the goal, and then signaled his teammates to disperse quickly to help him break down the wall .

This free kick is about 22 meters away from the goal. It is just outside the top of the penalty area. It is a little closer than the most suitable distance for kicking a free kick, but it is also an excellent opportunity.

Lewandowski's skills are very comprehensive. He can do a good job in shooting, passing, and retracement. As one of the best centers in the world, the Polish's personal strength is beyond doubt.

Lewandowski stood a little to the right outside the arc of the penalty area, looked at Manchester City's goal, and after carefully arranging the football, took two steps back and took a deep breath.

After the referee blew the whistle, the Pole lowered his upper body slightly and took only two run-up steps. Then the arch of his right foot hit the middle and lower parts of the football, and shot the ball out in a deadly but beautiful arc!

Lewandowski felt at ease the moment he kicked this free kick, and the position was accurate!
The football quickly drew a letter C in the air and went straight to the upper right corner of Manchester City's goal!

Joe Hart quickly hit the ground with his feet and rushed towards the football, but the ball almost brushed the junction of the crossbar and the goal post and flew into the net. This is a theoretical absolute dead end!
"GOAL!!! Oh my God! Lewandowski took a free kick of great quality.

He helped Bayern equalize the score!In the No.301 minute of the first half, the Pole used his goal to tell Manchester City that the angry Bayern Munich still has the ability to break through their defense!Perfect free kick!Perfect angle! "

After the goal, Lewandowski did not make too many celebrations. He patted the Bayern team logo on his chest heavily, and after paying tribute to the visiting team's fan area, he took the time to back away. In the middle circle, still four goals behind, the Bayern players did not dare to relax.

The Manchester City players on the other side didn't feel too much upset. Captain Kompany comforted the mentality of the two teammates Kanter and Joe Hart one by one, especially Kanter. affected by the ball.

Lewandowski's sudden fairy ball is definitely a small probability event. This kind of unreasonable goal can only be blamed on his bad luck. The opponent has kicked the fairy ball. What can the players do?

As for the foul on Robben, to put it bluntly, for the old man Luo who has just played for 10 minutes and entered his best form, the probability of him scoring just now is definitely higher than Lewandowski's free kick!

A fresh move, eaten all over the world, Robben's inside cut, if you dare to let it go, he really dares to enter!

After Guardiola made a gesture to the players to calm down on the sidelines, he stabilized the situation and waited for an opportunity to counterattack. Don't give Bayern another opportunity!
Then Guardiola made a gesture of full pressure. With only one-third of the time left in the first half, Guardiola decisively changed his tactics.

He hopes that his team can play more oppressively in the final stage of the first half, showing a full-scale offensive attitude!
He looked at the two players he trusted the most, Zhao Jinge and De Bruyne.

The two people standing near the middle circle looked very calm at this time, and Zhao Jinge pointed to Bayern's half to communicate with De Bruyne.

This calm posture made Guardiola feel relieved, as long as the Gemini in his hand is not messed up, Bayern will not be able to make any waves!
After the re-kick-off, Manchester City played more proactively.

On the offensive end, the entire team gradually overwhelmed the half court with the ball firmly in hand, relying on the overall advantage of the midfield and frontcourt to press into Bayern's defensive third area, directly posing a threat to Bayern's goal.

On the defensive end, by forcing the opponent's goalkeeper, central defender and defensive midfielder, the opponent cannot penetrate through the effective center to complete the offensive organization, so that they can only clear the siege with one kick so that their own players can calmly compete for Bayern in the midfield the clearance ball.

(Long-distance long balls have even less than 50% chance of getting the ball under the pressure of the defense, and the efficiency of non-dominant foot passes will be even lower).

Manchester City usually have at least four to five people in the high-position press in Bayern's offensive third zone, composed of Zhao Jinge, Aguero, Mahrez, Yaya Toure and De Bruyne, sometimes Kyle Walker, Kanter, Clichy Also pushes forward.

When the opponent's defender or goalkeeper holds the ball in the defensive area, Manchester City will first create a strong side to force the opponent to play the ball to one side.

At this time, at least two of Yaya Toure, De Bruyne and Aguero will press the opponent's deep midfielder,
The wide players on the strong side quickly approach the opponent's center back with the ball, so as to form a "net" of three to four people in the local side area of ​​the third offensive area, thereby forming a local numerical advantage and oppressing Space for the opponent to hold the ball in the backcourt.

As this net gradually shrinks, the opponent's central defender and defensive midfielder will have fewer options to play the ball, and there will be a high probability that it will eventually become a long pass or a clearance.

This kind of pressing will greatly improve Manchester City's efficiency in obtaining the ball. When the opponent chooses to organize in the backcourt, it often only takes a few seconds before the ball may change hands.

Faced with the high-intensity pressure of Manchester City's instant increase, the Bayern players seemed very uncomfortable for a while.
Under tremendous pressure, they abandoned the backcourt advancement system established from the Guardiola era,

In the remaining 15 minutes of the first half, Neuer almost had no choice to give the ball to his central defender after he got the ball. The only way forward is to choose the big kick goal kick.

With only Lewandowski as a high point in the frontcourt, this also made Bayern, who was already weak in possession of the ball compared to Manchester City, suddenly mess up, and their ability to control the situation declined again.

As a result, the initiative of the game was in the hands of Manchester City in a few minutes, and Manchester City, which turned from defense to offense, fully demonstrated its traditional oppressive system.

Under such high pressure, almost no team can complete the offensive organization through short pass penetration in the middle, which makes the opponent's backcourt organization have a high probability of giving up the ball to Manchester City.

Of course, even if the opponent gets through the midfield by chance, then due to the compactness of Manchester City's three lines, the three core players in the midfield, Kompany, Kanter and Otamendi, will get close to the ball holder as quickly as possible and complete the goal. Steal the ball.

Manchester City's tactical change after kick-off left Bayern's players in disarray.

Originally relying on the personal ability of the midfielders, they could still play a few good cooperation in Manchester City's half, and several veteran players can also devote all their energy to the offense.

But now the crazy oppression of Manchester City makes most of Bayern's players unable to even hold the ball, let alone attack, which forces Bayern's midfielders to return to defense and devote their energy to the competition and organization of the ball superior.

Guardiola's quick adjustments directly disrupted Bayern's offensive rhythm. Manchester City pulled up the rhythm of both offense and defense when they were under full pressure.

Although they sometimes make mistakes due to the fast pace, they resolutely counter-grab on the spot and actively run, so that they can always regain the ball after making mistakes.

As time passed, as the first half drew to a close, Bayern's decline became more and more obvious. The physical strength of the Robery combination had reached a bottleneck stage, and its offensive and defensive effects declined significantly.

Many players in the midfield also received yellow cards, which further intensified the pressure on the Bayern players in defense, and they could no longer make mistakes.

But whatever you are afraid of, you can come here. The hemp rope is broken at the fine point. If you are unlucky, you can drink cold water and get stuck between your teeth. After being under high pressure for more than ten minutes, Bayern's defense finally had a huge hole in stoppage time. !

No. 407 minutes, after Manchester City failed to attack, they handed the ball to the backcourt to reorganize. Bayern quickly pressed forward and wanted to give Manchester City enough pressure.

Bayern's two old wingers began to press Manchester City's two full-backs without retreating. At this time, the Manchester City midfielder who came to meet him moved to the wing with Bayern's midfielder.

This momentary pull created a huge loophole in Bayern's midfield defense. Once Bayern's wing was penetrated, the rear point and the top of the arc of the penalty area were both Manchester City's firepower points.

Manchester City resolutely launched a counterattack along the sidewalk. Chrissy sent the ball out and handed it to Zhao Jinge who retreated to respond.

The Manchester City striker quickly led the team to launch a counterattack. In the end, Bayern relied on Neuer's superb performance again to deny Zhao Jinge's shot.

Bayern got a chance for a goal kick. Originally, Neuer was going to kick off the kick with a big kick and send the ball directly to the frontcourt.

But after taking a look at Lewandowski, who was double-teamed by the Manchester City players, and the Manchester City players were outside the penalty area, the German goalkeeper chose to throw the ball vigorously to Kimi after a little thought. hope.

But what he didn't expect was that Manchester City deliberately didn't press Neuer this time, and they were waiting to grab Bayern's receiver.

When Neuer handed the ball to Kimmich, Zhao Jinge, Aguero and De Bruyne had already surrounded Harvey Alonso, and Mahrez blocked Kimmich while pressing Stopping Lahm's receiving route.

Under normal circumstances, the first choice of the Bayern prince can only be a long pass to the frontcourt, but he obviously knows that this behavior is undoubtedly handing over the ball directly when Lewandowski can't get away. to each other.

After missing the first pass goal, Kimmich made a mistake under the pressure of Mahrez. When he chose to dribble to find the ball, Mahrez took the ball first and would do it. Kyle Walker plugged in after.

The British full-back rushed directly into Bayern's big penalty area like a bulldozer at full speed. When facing the double-teaming of Neuer and several Bayern returning players, Walker deftly picked the ball to On the other side of the penalty area, Zhao Jinge easily completed the header.

Neuer, who was at the other end of the goal, was beyond his reach and could only watch the football fall into his own net!
"Gaol!!!!!! Zhao Jinge scored with a header and scored twice!

Manchester City regained the lead [-]-[-]!
Zhao Jinge currently surpasses Ronaldo's goals scored this season in the UEFA Champions League scorer list, occupying the top spot with [-] goals! "

"Kimmich didn't play well today, he had a yellow card just before Bayern conceded the goal because of a mistake.

Coupled with his poor performance in the first leg, the Prince of Bayern failed extremely in both rounds. "

"Of course, the reason for his poor performance is that apart from his poor state, it may be related to Bayern's overall limitations. He was the player with the highest ball holding time after Bayern was fully oppressed by Manchester City in the second half of the first half.

The reason why he has the longest possession time is related to Bayern's lack of support points in the midfield.

Vidal and Xavi Alonso were under tremendous pressure and could only give the ball back to the central defender. Benatia did not gain the trust of Bayern players, so Kimmich became Bayern's main backcourt control ball candidate,
This also made him the focus of Manchester City's pressing, which eventually led to the loss of the ball in the event of a mistake.

Facing the full-scale oppression of Manchester City, Bayern players seemed powerless, and they could not even control the ball in their own defensive third area.

An absolute disgrace for a team that played pass football last season, gave back what they learned from Pep Guardiola and are now being beaten by him The incumbent beat up! "
