Chapter 776 The Third Ball

"In the 35 minutes of the game, Bayern Munich fell behind 0:2, but after conceding two goals, Bayern Munich consciously strengthened their defense and pressing. It seems that they have gradually entered the rhythm."

The commentator of Sky TV analyzed the situation of the game.

Ferguson chuckled, "But it's a bit slow. If they had pressed and pressed Tottenham Hotspur to this level after the start, maybe the game would still have to be played, but right now, they are too passive, and We all noticed that Tottenham began to consciously attack Alaba's side."

"This is a very normal game strategy. Your full-back has a yellow card. I will focus on attacking that."

Bayern Munich's press also consciously focused on their left, which is Tottenham Hotspur's right. After all, Ribery and Kyle Walker are very active on this side, so Bayern Munich on this side The defense is also great.

Once Kyle Walker took the ball from the right, Bayern Munich had two players pressing up at the same time, but Kyle Walker knocked the ball across from the gap to Pirlo, Pirlo then crossed to Ramsey, Ramsey After knocking back, Pirlo ran forward. After receiving Ramsey's knockback, he passed the ball directly with his right foot.

Ribery rushed forward quickly, and Alaba was left behind by him, forming an anti-offside.

"Hey, the referee didn't call offside, a great opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur!" The commentator also became excited, and all the fans in the audience almost held their breath, and many people couldn't help but get out of their seats. stood up.

"Franck Ribery was very fast, rushed to the penalty area, faced Neuer, made a fake move, passed, passed!!!!"

"Single sword!!!!" The narrator shouted almost at the top of his lungs.

I saw Ribery wading through Neuer with a fake move, quickly catching up with the ball, pushing the ball with his right foot, and the ball was sent into the goal line with a diagonal line, 3:0!

"GOAL!!!!!! Tottenham Hotspur's third goal!!!!!!"

"It happened in the No.309 minute of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur scored the third goal of the game, from Frank Ribery's brace!!!"

The French scar face rushed out of the stadium roaring and screaming excitedly, opened all his teammates along the way, and rushed to the front of the home team coach's bench in one breath, opened his arms, opened his mouth wide and roared, throwing the sidelines Ye Qiu hugged him tightly, and even the momentum threw Ye Qiu down on the turf of the stadium.

He is so excited, he definitely has reason to be excited, because he feels that he has endless power in this game, he feels that he seems to have endless strength, he feels that he is too excited, this game Let him burst out an unprecedented state and fighting spirit.

In the past few years, everything he has endured and suppressed has completely exploded in this game!
The Tottenham Hotspur players rushed up one by one, pulled Ribery and Ye Qiu up, and surrounded them, 3:0. This was almost a goal that sentenced Bayern Munich to death. A rhythm that Tottenham Hotspur wants to slaughter Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga class bully is powerless to resist!

Contrary to the excited celebrations of Ye Qiu and the others, Heynckes slapped himself on the forehead vigorously, with a face full of frustration, returned to the coaching bench of the visiting team and sat down, with an extremely lonely expression on his face, because he knew better than anyone that this game It is very difficult for Bayern Munich to reverse the game, unless there is another miracle at the Luzhniki Stadium!
But the creator of the miracle at the Luzhniki Stadium is Tottenham Hotspur. Are they stupid enough to create the same miracle for their opponents?

"Heynckes' depression seems to indirectly confirm the strength of Tottenham Hotspur!" The commentator said with some sighs.

Ferguson hummed, "Tottenham Hotspur is definitely the most powerful team in today's football, not only because they have a group of outstanding top superstars, but also because they have a very strong overall combat capability, and more importantly What’s more, their entire team’s concept is very good, and they are always pursuing balance and change, which is very rare.”

"You know, when many head coaches first take over the team, the biggest problem, that is to say, their biggest enemy is not actually the opponent on the court, but the pressure brought by the results. They are worried about getting out of class, so they come on stage. The first thing I did afterwards was to ensure that I would not dismiss get out of class.”

Ferguson also has a lot of experience in this aspect. Even though he claimed that he started to focus on cultivating young players as soon as he coached Manchester United, in fact, Eric Harrison and others have confirmed that the most important thing for Ferguson at the time was to stand firmly in Manchester United. Heel, class 92 was promoted after he gained a firm foothold.

"Ye Qiu has no pressure on performance, so he doesn't worry that he will dismiss get out of class, so he builds the team according to his own ideas and ideas. He will do whatever is reasonable, effective, and better. Tottenham are progressing and growing very fast."

"Perhaps the biggest test for Tottenham Hotspur right now is the issue of Mauro Tassotti's succession after Ye Qiu's departure, but judging from the current situation and the feedback information, there are not many problems. With the strength of the current Tottenham Hotspur team, we will continue to see their invincible figure in Europe in the next few years."

When the live TV screen was repeatedly replaying the scoring process just now, the director also switched to a situation in the stands by the way, and saw British Prime Minister Cameron and London Mayor Boris Johnson, you and others saw Ribery After scoring a goal, he immediately rushed out of the seat excitedly, raised his arms, and yelled along with the fans, looking extremely excited.

On the contrary, the German Chancellor Merkel looked sad, she looked very awkward sitting in the seat, but the Chinese Premier sat next to Merkel with a reserved smile, and the two whispered from time to time. What, looks very dignified.

The game has been going on for more than half an hour now, and everyone who watched the whole game will feel that Tottenham Hotspur has almost won this game ahead of schedule, not only because of the three-goal lead, but also because of the In the past half an hour or so, Bayern Munich was almost tempered by Tottenham Hotspur.

This was a devastating offensive battle. Tottenham Hotspur fully utilized its advantages and characteristics in the first half, especially in the attack and oppression. The combination was perfect and effective, so that Bayern Munich could not find Seeing a powerful opportunity to resist, and throughout the first half, Bayern Munich's shots were blocked to three times, and no shots were on target.

"As I said before the game, the strength of Tottenham is not only the starting lineup, but also because of their tactical variety and sufficient personnel, so Vidal can play on the left and Marcelo can play as a winger. Ribery on the right, Messi on the front, these are not a problem, and they can even use Drogba and other types of players when necessary."

"Bayern Munich is relatively simple. Their substitute players seem to have enough personnel, but in fact, they have not changed much, especially their entire midfield. Bastian Schweinsteiger, Tony Ke Los and Gustavo couldn't move, Robben and Thomas Muller couldn't move, and there wasn't any strong replacements at the back."

"In this case, Bayern Munich seems to have ample bench thickness at first glance, but in fact, apart from the two centers Gomez and Mandzukic, they have little room for change, even in terms of style changes and characteristics, It’s also relatively simple.”

"So in this case, it's not that Heynckes doesn't want to adjust, but he can't find an effective way to adjust, unless he fights Tottenham Hotspur now, but it's too early to fight for his life. It may be counterproductive, and in turn, Tottenham Hotspur played a round of mad attack, creating a humiliating big score, which Heynckes needs to consider."

Ferguson also feels very helpless about Bayern Munich's passive situation, because their lineup changes and player functions are indeed relatively simple compared to Tottenham Hotspur, which is a rather unfavorable factor.

Even without this first half, even if they were allowed to defend Tottenham Hotspur's offense, they may not be able to defend until the end, because Ye Qiu still has many changes left behind, such as choosing Bayern Munich's situation. Whether to go to Drogba to further strengthen the tough battle, or simply take down Cavani and change to a winger to further exert the advantages of personal ability in the frontcourt.

These are all valid options for Tottenham Hotspur, but Bayern Munich obviously don't have many options in these areas.

…………

…………

In fact, Ferguson's judgment was not wrong, and the variability of Bayern Munich's game is indeed not much.

At half-time, Heynckes made a more controversial substitution adjustment, replacing the midfielder Toni Kroos, who performed mediocre in this game, with defensive midfielder Moshchuk. .

The former is a veteran of Bayern Munich. He has excellent defensive ability and can even play as a central defender, but he has little support for offense. Toni Kroos has always been regarded as the most suitable for Schweinsteiger The midfield partner, because the presence of the two can ensure that Bayern Munich's midfield has the ball and the ball.

But now Timoshchuk is used to replace Toni Kroos. This substitution caused dissatisfaction among the Bayern Munich fans in the stands, because they felt that this was a weak substitution adjustment. The team fell behind by three goals. Under such circumstances, what should be considered is a counterattack, not a conservative tactic of showing weakness.

"As for Heynckes, in fact, the substitution this time is indeed a bit controversial, because replacing Toni Kroos in the midfield will make it difficult for the team to launch an effective offensive. For Bayern Munich, which is three goals behind, It is indeed suspected of showing weakness and conservativeness, but the problem has to be looked back at the game, the first half was too dangerous."

Ferguson has his own views and understandings on this point.

"Sometimes fans watch the game and think, why does the head coach make such adjustments? Why does he make such a substitution?"

"Actually, the fans themselves don't understand. The head coach often has his own considerations. Just like this time, I think Heynckes' substitution may cause controversy, but he has his own reasons. He is worried about the team. Conceding another goal in the second half, and even eventually turned into a humiliating massacre with a big score, this is not what he is willing to see and accept."

"Relatively speaking, you are already behind. Now Tottenham want you to press out. If you really press out and play, you will fall into the trap of Tottenham Hotspur. So Heynckes took another approach. One strategy, I won’t press it anyway, you continue to attack, I will defend, defend and then hit you to counterattack, stealing a goal is a goal, maybe there will be a chance.”

But as the second half of the game progressed, everyone noticed that Tottenham Hotspur changed the indiscriminate bombing in the first half and pulled down the rhythm of the game. The team's style changed to possession tactics, tactics The formation was also changed back to the familiar 433 tactics.

"This is where Tottenham Hotspur is difficult. You can attack when you press up, and you can defend when you retreat. It is really difficult for a team to find a more effective way to resist."

If the first half was a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle, then the second half was a dull ball-handling drama.

Tottenham Hotspur holds a three-goal advantage and is obviously slowing down consciously. It is best to drag the game to the end and win the Champions League early as a matter of course.

In this case, Tottenham Hotspur's ability to control the ball is reflected. Bayern Munich wanted to go up and press at the beginning, but Tottenham Hotspur's quick kick can quickly pass the ball. Transferring the ball and using the gap created by passing and receiving the ball to hit the loopholes behind Bayern Munich made Bayern Munich feel very painful.

If you want to reverse the situation, or even score a goal, you have to press up and play, but the problem is that once you press up, there will be a gap behind you. Once the frontcourt attack is frustrated, Tottenham Hotspur's counterattack will be very difficult There is a threat.

But if you don't press up, the whole situation will become very stalemate, and Tottenham can't wait to drag the game down.

Heynckes was in a backward situation, and he had to make another change. In the No. 70 minute, he replaced Mandzukic with Gomez, and then replaced Gustavo with Pizarro. The tone strengthened the offense, and launched a fierce offensive against Tottenham Hotspur in the last 10 minutes.

But Ye Qiu also made two consecutive substitution adjustments after 5 minutes. One was to replace the winger Franck Ribery who performed very, very well in this game with Hazzard, and at the same time he also used Pogba. The veteran Pirlo was replaced, and Ramsey, Pogba and Vidal formed a three midfielder.

These two substitutions are mainly aimed at the team's physical fitness. Ribery played very eye-catching in the first half, while Pirlo is not young. Both players have physical problems, so Ye Qiu will They replaced Hazard, who was more impactful, and Pogba, who was more capable of holding the ball in midfield and more physically fit.

After the two substitutions, Ye Qiu saw that Bayern Munich's offensive still could not be contained, he made another substitution adjustment, replacing Cavani with Nesta, and the team made another adjustment to form a three central defender , to restrain Bayern Munich's double forwards.

With Nesta playing, Tottenham Hotspur's tactics have also become 352 tactics. Pogba, Vidal and Kyle Walker formed the midfield, with the two wide players playing deep.

The two players in front are Messi and Hazard. They are specially used to counterattack. It depends on whether Bayern Munich dare to press up and fight. As long as you dare to stand up, I will dare to hit you behind you.

Tottenham Hotspur's adjustments have effectively frozen the defensive hardness within the 30-meter area of ​​their own side. Bayern Munich has no effective methods in positional warfare. They lack penetration in the center and can only rely on the wings.

But in the No.804 minute, Tottenham Hotspur's backcourt Thiago Silva made a long diagonal pass, Hazard quickly countered offside, and after getting the ball, he formed a single knife and made the last pass When Messi was in charge, if it wasn't for Neuer's quick reaction to save the ball, Tottenham Hotspur would have scored the fourth goal.

With this sharp counterattack, Bayern Munich also completely dispelled the idea of ​​attacking aggressively.

It's not that Heynckes doesn't want to, but because he knows very well that it is not easy to break through Tottenham Hotspur's defense. On the contrary, if one is not careful, it is very likely that Tottenham Hotspur will reverse it. Get a goal and further expand the score.

"Ye Qiu obviously prepared more fully for this game, and we can all clearly see that he was very confident and calm in dealing with every change and adjustment of Bayern Munich during the game. Obviously he made a plan in advance, which is very rare."

"I personally think that this is still due to Mauro Tassotti, he is the typical style of the Italian coach, the details are very detailed, the tactical thinking is very clear, and he is very good at Tottenham Hotspur. He knows everything, so he knows better than anyone how Tottenham should play!"

"So I personally think that even if Ye Qiu really stepped down, Tottenham Hotspur will continue to be strong, because Mauro Tassotti can take over Ye Qiu's class very well, perhaps in terms of personal coaching ability. Look, there is still a gap between him and Ye Qiu, but the problem is that he is taking over a Tottenham Hotspur whose strength is far beyond any other team in professional football."

During the dull period of the game, Ferguson also expressed his feelings for the strength of Tottenham Hotspur, because he knew very well that Ye Qiu chose Mauro Tassotti, which was a natural succession, and he chose Moyes It's different, this time it looks more like a last choice I made out of desperation.

"As Cruyff said a year ago, this Tottenham Hotspur can only beat them in time, we can only hope that Pirlo will grow old, this player is very important to Tottenham. Tottenham is too important, he belongs to the core of the organization, once he gets old, Tottenham's midfield is bound to face a round of turmoil."

"Perhaps, this is the opportunity that other teams are about to usher in!"
