The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 716 King Messi

After the start of the second half, Tottenham still continued the rhythm and momentum of the first half.

Because neither side made substitutions during the intermission, even Bayern Munich, which was behind in the score, did not.

Tottenham Hotspur is still in control of the ball. If you observe the game carefully, it is not difficult to find that when Tottenham Hotspur has the ball, the formation is very spread out. interesting feature.

Bayern Munich actively invested four players in the frontcourt to press, while Tottenham Hotspur controlled the ball in the backcourt composed of the defense and Pirlo. They skillfully mobilized Bayern Munich's players back and forth. Hit to the front, but were forced back by Bayern Munich's defense.

"The Tottenham Hotspur players' ability to go back and forth is really strong. Once they see that you are being forced into a mess in the backcourt, the players in front will immediately retreat!"

When the on-site commentator saw Bayern Munich throwing five players into the frontcourt, Tottenham Hotspur's main winger Franck Ribery immediately retreated from the front, and after receiving a pass from Marcelo, he made a transition Once, knock back to Kompany, so that the situation that was originally forced by Bayern Munich suddenly became clear.

After the opening, Ribery went back to the front, and the ball was still at the feet of Tottenham Hotspur.

"Someone once said that the Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff called their own tactical system a wave-style offensive and defensive system. I think this is a very clever running and positioning system, which is very rigorous. Rigorous and holistic.”

"Bayern Munich wants to grab the ball a little bit now, but they have not been able to find an effective way to grab the ball, because if you are not willing to invest more troops, no matter how aggressive you grab the ball, it will not be very effective, and if you invest troops Enough, and you're going to be empty at the back, with Tottenham attacking from the back when they see the opportunity."

"It is indeed a headache and a very troublesome feature. Tottenham Hotspur are obviously playing more patiently now."

Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, watching the game silently. Five minutes into the second half, the ball was at the feet of Tottenham Hotspur most of the time. During this period, the ball possession rate should be astonishingly high. In 5 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur scored four times within the 5-meter area of ​​Bayern Munich.

In other words, Tottenham Hotspur is not a slow-moving backcourt like Barcelona, ​​but is actively looking for opportunities and has a fast pace, so Bayern Munich's players participating in the press consume a lot of energy.

The continuous attack is also a kind of provocation and stimulation to the psychology of Bayern Munich players. Tell them, the initiative of the game is in my hands. If you let us control the ball like this, I will attack once every 2 minutes. You better go one by one I tensed my nerves and tightened my head, otherwise I would chop it off anytime, anywhere.

No one is willing to accept this passive situation in which fate is dominated and controlled by others, so slowly, Bayern Munich has gradually increased its pressing investment in the frontcourt.

Tottenham Hotspur's ball possession is mainly outside the 30-meter area, but in the narrow area from the 30-meter area to the center line, Bayern Munich once added seven players to the frontcourt pressing force, that is to say , They even pressed the defenders up, which shows their impatience.

Ye Qiu stood on the edge of the coach's command area after the game started. He saw the situation very clearly, and Heynckes kept waving his hands, calling on the players not to worry, not to rush forward, because he knew better than anyone else. Tottenham just want you to come up.

Once Tottenham Hotspur has the ball now, the formation is even bigger than Barcelona. If you want to look at the formation, the entire European football can be compared with Tottenham Hotspur. I am afraid that Pellegri Ni's Real Madrid.

The Chilean engineer has a long pass player like Harvey Alonso, and Pepe and Ramos' ability to hold the ball is not bad. With the addition of two full-backs, Real Madrid can also stretch the formation very quickly. , and once the formation is opened, it is more suitable for the personal performance of Real Madrid's frontcourt superstars.

Tottenham Hotspur's three lines are not as far apart as Real Madrid's. They are more closely connected to each other, keeping a distance of about 30 meters from front to back, so it seems that they control a long and narrow area.

But as some people have said, when Tottenham is not attacking, it is a drawn fist, ready to go, and can deliver a full blow anytime, anywhere.

When Thiago Silva was pressed by Gomez, he passed the ball to Pirlo, who turned his back to the attacking direction, and then knocked back to Cech in the penalty area. The Czechs are used to this Pass back and pass the ball again to Thiago Silva.

At this time, Kompany has already pulled to the left line. Thiago Silva passed the ball to him, but Bayern Munich's Robben interfered, so Kompany crossed the ball to Thiago. • Silva.

The Brazilian central defender stopped the ball and moved forward by himself. Gomez quickly approached, and Toni Kroos also stood still and stared at Thiago Silva as if facing the enemy. The Brazilian's ability to drive the ball very strong.

While dribbling, Thiago Silva has an obvious, but clever move.

Because Gomez approached from the left side, that is, from the center, Thiago Silva stepped out with his left foot first when the German center approached, stepped on the left side of the ball, and blocked it with his body Gomez, in this way, unless Gomez fouls, it is impossible to steal the ball.

But just when Toni Kroos wanted to go up to encircle and press, he saw Thiago Silva follow up and directly hit a long pass with his right foot, going directly to the back of Bayern Munich on the left.

This long pass has a small arc and fast speed. It lands on the right side of the penalty area. Two players, Badstuber and Contento, get stuck on the inside line, and the other chases Cavani. The Uruguayan He rushed forward desperately, and at the same time used his body to block Contento who was close to him, while he was protecting the ball.

Just as Cavani rushed forward to catch the ball, Kyle Walker was also sprinting forward quickly. The sprinting speed of this native England right back was very fast, not even losing to Gareth Bale at all. After Cavani blocked Contento with his body, he turned around and saw Kyle Walker. He waved his right hand and made a gesture of cutting inward.

I saw Kyle Walker suddenly slanting into the penalty area, and Cavani also sent the ball with his right foot, and the ball passed from Toni Kroos to Kyle Walker's feet.

But Kyle Walker didn't take the opportunity to dribble the ball into the penalty area, because he found that Gustavo and Jerome Boateng were both in the penalty area, and Ram on the right also returned to the penalty area, so he played in Cavani When the pass came to his feet, he stopped suddenly. This emergency stop allowed him to stop the ball and avoid Toni Kroos.

Budstuber wanted to go forward to block, but Kyle Walker kicked the ball forward suddenly, and he quickly started to rush up, turning around slowly, and he was unexpected by Kyle Walker's action Bad Stubel was left behind, grabbed the ball before it went out of the baseline, and made a right-footed half-high pass.

This kind of ball is very troublesome, and it is generally difficult for defenders to handle it, because an accident is an own goal, and the trajectory of the ball is near the small penalty area line, so goalkeeper Neuer dare not attack easily, but some people are obviously not within such restrictions.

I saw a short but very nimble figure, like a slippery loach, rushing out from between Gustavo and Jerome Boateng, bent down, and swooped down with a header, sending this The ball was passed to the upper left corner of the ball, which made Neuer judge the right direction, but he was powerless.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

It was also at this time that everyone saw the white jersey lying upside down in the penalty area of ​​Bayern Munich. The number on the back was No. [-], which was Messi's jersey.

"Messi! Messi! Messi! Second goal, less than 7 minutes into the second half, Tottenham Hotspur scored the second goal of the game, 2:0, Tottenham Tottenham are temporarily ahead of Bayern Munich!"

The entire Allianz Arena was completely set on fire. Although the number of people was only about half, the fans of Tottenham Hotspur made the most amazing cheers since the start of the game, as if to let the whole of Munich feel their hearts That excitement, that enthusiasm.

After Messi scored a goal, he quickly got up from the grass again, wiped the grass clippings from his mouth, and ran wildly along the way, rushing all the way to the bottom of the white stands of Tottenham Hotspur, doing it again. After the action of sucking the pacifier, all the fans in the stands were chanting Messi's name.

At this moment, Messi is the king on the field, a well-deserved king!
After seeing Messi score the second goal, Ye Qiu clenched his hands excitedly, and then opened his arms, with a look of victory. Obviously, he felt that there was not much left in the game. suspense.

It's not that he underestimated Bayern Munich, but because this team didn't play to their original strength.

You can't blame Heynckes, and you can't blame anyone. This is the pain of reform!

Just like in the past two seasons, Tottenham Hotspur had the strength and qualifications to defend the title based on their cards, but they stopped in the semi-finals once and the quarter-finals once. Who can Ye Qiu blame?

It can only be said that reform will definitely bring pains and bloodshed!

"Basically the overall situation has been decided. Tottenham Hotspur's offense is too sharp. Judging from the attack point this time, it is still a high ball and behind. Thiago Silva's kick is long and oblique. The pass is very good, Cavani's timing is also in place, I can only say that Tottenham's cooperation is wonderful."

"Kyle Walker, the England right-back, started this game in place of Alves, who was suspended for a yellow card. He performed very well defensively, especially in the early stages, but as the team's offense improved, he was in the game. The offensive performance was also very impressive.”

"In this attack just now, Kyle Walker made an emergency stop after receiving a pass from Cavani. Stubel, in less than ten meters, was able to highlight a cross from Bader Stubel, the speed is amazing!"

"2:0, Tottenham Hotspur can basically say that the general trend is set, and Bayern Munich is obviously going to make substitutions and adjustments."

Heynckes made a substitution after Tottenham scored their second goal of the game, this time earning him boos from the red stands , because he replaced Thomas Muller with Van Buyten.

"This is a relatively conservative substitution. Heynckes is obviously aware of the problem of high ball defense in the back line, so he wants to replace Van Buyten to strengthen the height, but Thomas Muller is taken. The team How will the attack be carried out?"

Still at 4231, Robben was moved to the left, Tony Kolos still played as the front midfielder, and Lahm was advanced to the position of the attacker on the right, the defense line Jerome Boateng moved to the right, and the center was Combination of Van Buyten and Bad Stubel.

But with Bayern Munich's substitutions, Ye Qiu also made adjustments. Cavani is now fixed in the middle, specifically targeting the two central defenders of Bayern Munich, because whether it is Van Buyten or Badstubel , all obviously lack the ability to turn around, and Van Buyten's ability to hold and pass the ball is not strong, which is most suitable for Cavani to harass him.

At the same time, Franck Ribery and Messi actively played both ribs, and even Ramsey and Vidal actively pressed up to participate in the attack.

So there was a very different scene from just now. Tottenham Hotspur’s offense no longer widened the width, but actively reduced the area of ​​​​the offensive area, because for the central defenders Van Buyten and Badstubel In terms of combination, with the technical skills of Tottenham Hotspur players, as long as they can face each other, it is basically difficult for them to resist.

Height has advantages of being tall, and being short also has advantages of being short.

…………

…………

After Tottenham Hotspur took advantage of the start of the second half and scored the second goal, Bayern Munich was hit hard. They knew that if they wanted to win, they had to press and attack, but the problem was that they had neither the means to press and attack. , and did not have the courage to press out and attack, at least they could not guarantee the risk of being beaten after pressing out.

Only at this moment did Heynckes really understand why Van Gaal shouted, "I need more Schweinsteiger" in the first place. This is definitely not a polite sentence, but a feeling. hair.

When Van Bommel was still there, the Dutch midfielder was slow to organize and distribute the ball, and Schweinsteiger assisted them. The two complemented each other and organized Bayern Munich's midfield in an orderly manner. Toni Kroos, but the progress and effect were not satisfactory, which made Toni Kroos criticized by fans for a time.

The reason is simple. Schweinsteiger needs a partner similar to Van Bommel who can provide hardness and strength to the midfield, and at the same time can provide him with suitable support for the ball. Heynckes was originally the most ideal The candidate is Vidal, who is now playing well in Tottenham Hotspur.

Facts have proved that if Vidal is partnered with Schweinsteiger and Toni Kroos, this set of midfielders can be called a perfect match. Bayern Munich's entire midfield strength can definitely be improved to a higher level. Gustavo He is very good, a very good defensive midfielder, but he is more about covering and intercepting, and his forward ability does not meet Bayern Munich's tactical requirements.

On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur, Pirlo's coverage and mobility are not strong, but he can make up for it with passing. Ramsey and Vidal are the kind who have wide coverage, excellent running ability, and can go up and down. players, which makes Tottenham very resilient overall.

The role of the midfielder to a team is like the role of the waist to a person. On the surface, people stand on their legs, but the waist keeps us balanced and makes us more flexible.

But there is no regret medicine in this world. If Vidal is missed, Bayern Munich’s midfield options will be much narrower. If the current situation continues, it will be difficult for Bayern Munich to make a difference. In the final analysis, it is still a midfield problem.

As the game progressed, Heynckes kept adjusting the team's defense. Although Tottenham Hotspur's offense was contained, it was difficult for Bayern Munich to play an effective offense. , You will find that, except for the wave of offensive in the opening stage, Bayern Munich did not play a good goal throughout the game.

"There is indeed a gap in strength. Tottenham Hotspur's overall strength is better than Bayern Munich's. The team's overall tactics are also more reasonable and balanced than Bayern Munich. This makes Bayern Munich meet Tottenham. Tottenham, there are very few options available and very few options that work."

"On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur's advantage in strength and reasonable tactics gave them a higher chance of allowing them to make mistakes, so they played poorly after the opening period, but they quickly adjusted. And it turned the tide."

"Before the start of this match, the suspense was not great, because Tottenham Hotspur's state and performance were getting better and better as the schedule progressed. Ye Qiu's team defeated Barcelona with nine goals in the semi-finals. It pushed Tottenham Hotspur's title calls to the highest."

"Although Heynckes' team is excellent, they have never been able to play at a convincing level. In this game, they did not pose a threat to Tottenham Hotspur throughout the game. It is reasonable to lose among."

Following the analysis of the on-site commentator, the game also passed by every minute. In this case, it is difficult for any substitution to bring about major changes.

Until the 74th minute of the game, Heynckes finally couldn't bear it anymore, replaced Contento with Olic, and finally began to strengthen the team's offense.

But Ye Qiu also adjusted the team's tactics, replacing the veteran Pirlo with Sandro, which was a signal to strengthen the defense.

Pirlo's end was cheered by all the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the audience. Although he did not score, he performed so well this season after joining Tottenham Hotspur. The core of the team's midfield.

It can be said that Pirlo has contributed a lot to Tottenham Hotspur's success today.
