All-around center

At the Allianz Arena, Mourinho turned his head and looked at Heynckes with white hair.

As the saying goes, there is a difference between a general and a coach.

General versus general!

Coach versus coach!

Things on the field are left to the players, but Mourinho and Heynckes need to compete with each other for the command off the field.

Joseph Heynckes, with white hair, is already nearly 70 years old.

In his coaching career, he has served as the head coach of many powerful teams.

And this is his third time as the head coach of Bayern Munich, and he is also a fire-fighting coach.

Based on the problem of "focusing on offense and neglecting defense" left by the former coach Van Gaal, Heynckes' arrival immediately solved this problem. Unlike last season, Bayern Munich showed strong combat effectiveness in all arenas.

Mourinho believes that Heynckes is definitely an underestimated head coach!

Unlike traditional rigid German coaches, Heynckes is very flexible in the use of tactics. Although this flexible use is criticized as "rigid", Mourinho prefers to call it "cautious".

This is a coach who is rough but also meticulous. Just by looking at the starting lineup in this game, Mourinho knew that Heynckes had taken targeted measures for Real Madrid in many aspects.

At the same time, he changed his previous conservative style of play, and the lineup revealed a fierceness.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows;

Bayern Munich (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Neuer.

Defenders: Lahm, Badstuber, Boateng, Alaba.

Midfielders: Schweinsteiger, Vukojevic, Kroos.

Forwards: Robben, Mandzukic, Ribery.

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Srna, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielders: Khedira, Kaka, Alonso.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Suker.

"This is the first round of the 2011/2012 Champions League semi-finals, Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid at home!"

"After the brutal group stage and knockout stage, the Champions League has finally reached the semi-finals."

"Real Madrid, representing La Liga, and Bayern Munich, representing the Bundesliga, how will they perform in the Champions League?"

"And for Bayern Munich, can they withstand the impact from Suker? Let's wait and see!"

La Liga commentator Gonzalez shouted loudly, and his opening aroused the enthusiasm of all Real Madrid fans.

At the same time, the German commentator also shouted loudly:

"Finally, this focus battle has arrived. The warriors of Bayern Munich will face Real Madrid at home. Before the game, the old coach Heynckes said that they are confident of winning the game, and then let us enjoy the wonderful game of the two teams!"

The entire Allianz Arena entered a solemn atmosphere.

Both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid knew that the opponents were not the ones they had encountered before, and they needed to be more cautious.

Both sides are very good at seizing opportunities, and the slightest mistake will lead to a situation of falling behind.

In the center circle, Suker stepped on the ball and waited for the kick-off.

In the half of Bayern Munich, the players also kept a close eye on Suker, not daring to be careless.

"Don't be nervous, follow the tactics and slowly bring the rhythm into the familiar environment!"

Ram shouted loudly.

Suker didn't understand German, so he didn't know what the other side was saying, but it can be guessed that Bayern Munich still had some plans for its defense.

At this time, after the referee made the final confirmation to the goalkeepers on both sides, he began to run out of the center circle and blew the whistle.

Beep!

With a sharp whistle, the whole game began.

Suker kicked off immediately, and Real Madrid's midfielder started to operate immediately after entering the game.

Alonso and Kaka's positions echoed each other, always maintaining a distance that could be connected.

In front, Suker was also constantly moving, maintaining a distance that could receive the ball.

However, when Suker was running, he noticed that Vukojevic kept a subtle distance from him.

At the same time, Lahm also raised his position.

"Linked defense?"

Suker roughly guessed Bayern Munich's idea.

In the coaching booth of Bayern Munich, Heynckes' assistant coach said nervously; "Can this really limit Suker?"

Suker's ability is too strong, and there has been no situation to limit Suker so far, so he is very skeptical.

Although Vukojevic and Lahm are both excellent defensive players, Suker's impact cannot be limited by experience and ability, and can only be limited by the number of people.

In response, Heynckes crossed his arms and said lightly: "I didn't intend to successfully limit Suker, but just gave him some interference."

"Real Madrid's offensive line is on the left wing, and the test will also be on the left wing, and corresponding to this is our strongest right wing!"

"Lahm-Schweinsteiger-Robben's side corridor!"

"Seize the opportunity of Real Madrid's test on the left wing, and then quickly launch a counterattack!"

Heynckes clenched his fist.

From the beginning, he had no idea of ​​testing.

Facing Real Madrid, you must crush it!

Bang!

The ball was passed to Suker's feet, and Suker dribbled forward again and again, testing the opponent's defense.

Soon, Vukojevic rushed over, which was the same as Suker's idea.

but.

There are some problems with Vukojevic's position. His position is closer to the lateral position and does not block the diagonal front.

At this moment, Ram quickly followed up! "

Ram yelled: "Bastian!"

Bastian Schweinsteiger came around from behind, instantly forming a three-man double-team!

"It's done!"

Heynckes clenched his fist hard, and the next step was to press.

damn it!

Su Ke kept pulling the ball at his feet, keeping the ball firmly under his feet and moving closer to the wing.

Facing the three-man encirclement and pressing, Su Ke retreated step by step and was about to be forced to the wing.

Want a sideline ball?

Suk was thinking about this, but at this moment, Ram suddenly stretched out his foot.

Su Ke made a horizontal push and buckled inside, seizing this opportunity and trying to break through diagonally from the front.

But just as he was walking forward to play the ball, Vukojevic suddenly moved laterally, and the ball hit Vukojevic's ankle and flew towards Suker again.

"Successful!" Heynckes' eyes widened and he was extremely excited.

There will be a counterattack soon.

At this moment, Heynckes saw Suker being forced to the sideline and suddenly pushed the ball upwards with his thigh.

The ball went over the head and flew into the air.

Everyone was watching the ball, and Vukojevic was even more anxious to push the ball forward.

But at this time, Suk's choice was to take a step forward and hit Vukojevic hard.

Find confrontation first!

Vukojevic was pushed and could not clear the ball quickly.

Suk used this reverse force to regain his center of gravity, faced the falling ball, and pushed it forward with his head.

At the same time, Suk ran across the sideline, stepped hard on his feet, and launched an impact directly from the outside lane.

"What the hell!"

Heynckes' eyes widened.

Can't you stop this?

But fortunately, Suker failed to catch up with the ball. Badstuber took the lead in reaching the ball's landing point and transferred the ball away.

Suker still lost the ball, but he also killed Bayern Munich's chance to counterattack.

At this time, Suk also came back to his senses and looked at Heynckes.

"Does this old guy think I'm a liar?"

If it weren't for Suker's strong dribbling ability and not conceding the ball, once he was cleared, the retreating Robben could quickly launch a counterattack.

At that time, Kaka and Alonso were both positioned forward, and Robben could directly face Real Madrid's defense.

I almost got into trouble with the other party!

It was a thrilling routine game from the beginning. It was obvious that Bayern Munich had planned the opening of this game.

"This old guy!" Mourinho was also anxious.

Who dares to say that Germans are rigid?

This old man actually set a trap for himself!

"Suk retreats a little, and tries to get the ball out as quickly as possible. Don't let the opponent seize the opportunity to surround you!"

Su Ke also nodded immediately.

Once he has been taught a lesson, he will not do it again.

But there is one thing to say, the formation of Bayern Munich's encirclement is really damn fast!

As soon as Su Ke felt something was wrong, the other party had already surrounded him.

"The opposite team is closing in very quickly. Move the ball as quickly as possible and touch the ball with one kick!"

Kaka and Alonso kept moving, connecting the frontcourt and passing the ball.

The entire rhythm also soared rapidly.

"These guys didn't even think about testing."

Su Ke finally understood. He opened his sword at the beginning, trying to catch them off guard. After the routine failed, he quickly accelerated the tempo, and then wanted to put pressure on them at a fast pace.

But it’s not necessarily clear who puts pressure on whom!

Watching Kaka retreat to catch the ball, Su Ke moved toward the middle.

As Suker moved like this, Bayern Munich's overall formation also moved with it.

Especially Vukojevic and Bastian Schweinsteiger, they were constantly repositioning themselves.

Seeing this scene, Su Ke immediately pointed to his feet.

Alonso understood and passed the ball directly towards Suker.

Su Ke did not covet the ball. With his back turned, he slightly lifted the ball with his toes.

The ball spun between Bastian Schweinsteiger and Vukojevic and stuffed diagonally forward.

"careful!"

Vukojevich immediately yelled.

"I am here!"

Ram quickly followed up and yelled, signaling for his teammates to calm down.

He was just about to follow up.

Suddenly, he saw Marcelo rushing to his side at some point.

At the same time, in the rib area, Kaka was also striding toward the ball.

There are opponents on the left and right, and they are all in dangerous positions.

This is the consequence of repositioning the midfield.

Based on the principle of being inside rather than outside, Lahm quickly followed up to restrict Kaká. At least he could not let Kaká break through the rib area and pose a threat to the goal.

Kaka saw Lahm's movement and he quickly distributed the ball towards Marcelo on the wing.

Without any defense, Marcelo easily stopped the ball and looked up towards the center.

At this time, Ram had already fought back.

Marcelo grinned, and he immediately stuffed the ball diagonally forward again.

Do you think I want to get up?

Ram made a sliding tackle and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

At the same time, Kaka and other Real Madrid players who were advancing forward also stopped.

"Damn! Can this little short leg be so defensive?"

Marcelo held his head.

The movement of his head was to deceive Ram, making him think that he was going to take the ball, but he wanted to pass it diagonally forward to Kaká.

I didn't expect that Lahm actually guessed his idea, and kicked the ball out of the sideline with a sliding tackle.

"The two teams had a fierce confrontation on the left side of Real Madrid, first Bayern Munich, and now Real Madrid, but both sides successfully restricted each other!"

The German commentator couldn't help grinning.

Both offensive and defensive routines were extremely dangerous.

The first time, Bayern Munich took the lead, and once Suker lost the ball, it was an opportunity to counterattack.

The second time, Real Madrid took the initiative to create a chance to break through the side, but Lahm cleverly blocked it.

They knew very well that with the ability of these two teams, they could convert any opportunity into a goal.

Although they didn't score a goal, they highlighted a "danger".

Moreover, it was only ten minutes!

As soon as the game started, the tension was instantly full!

"Robben! Here it comes!"

Robben quickly approached the back line on the right wing.

Marcelo lowered his center of gravity and stared at Robben.

He wants to cut inside!

He wants to cut inside!

He wants to cut inside!

Marcelo kept reminding himself in his heart.

At this moment, Robben suddenly flicked the ball sideways.

Marcelo's eyes lit up, and just when he wanted to follow up, he suddenly found that he couldn't keep up!

"Pepe! ——" Marcelo shouted anxiously: "Assist in defense!"

Pepe quickly followed up and quickly slid to block.

Robben volleyed with his left foot, and the ball was blocked by Pepe's calf and flew out of the baseline.

"Oh~~~ Robben's cut-in shot was blocked by Pepe, but this also scared Real Madrid. This is Robben's signature cut-in shot, Real Madrid must pay attention!"

Spanish commentator Gonzalos reminded.

Marcelo felt a chill in his heart.

He knew Robben was going to cut in, and he saw it clearly, but he just couldn't keep up.

If Pepe hadn't blocked it in time, the ball would have been dangerous.

Suk also looked at his own penalty area, his brows furrowed.

This is the cut-in of the old man Luo!

From his perspective, the frequency of his feet was too amazing, no wonder Marcelo couldn't keep up.

Even if you know you should cut inside, but your footwork is not fast enough, Robben can still shake you off.

This is also Robben's signature cut inside, which will become a problem for the whole of Europe for a while.

Bang!

The ball was cleared out of the sideline by Real Madrid, and Lahm immediately rushed up to throw the sideline ball.

The ball was thrown to Robben, who took the ball and turned around, trying to cut inside again.

But at this time, Pepe suddenly took a step forward, he collided with Robben, and also poked the ball out.

Pepe's defense successfully restricted Robben's cut inside.

"Robben! Don't worry, your cut inside is still a strong threat!"

Lahm kept encouraging Robben loudly.

At this time, Suker appeared in front of him.

Suker received the pass from Alonso and immediately turned to face Lahm.

"Oh no!"

Lahm saw that Vukojevic and Schweinsteiger had not yet settled in, so he could only bite the bullet and defend alone.

First, we must limit Suker's bottom.

At this time, Suker began to dribble forward.

He launched an attack from the left wing, but Suker's speed was not fast, but his footwork was amazing. He touched the ball again and again, maintaining a constant speed, but the distance of each dribble was well controlled, and there was no way to start.

"This feeling."

Ram felt a familiar feeling from Suker.

Just when Ram wanted to move forward, Suker suddenly buckled his left foot and began to dribble horizontally along the penalty area line.

Ram wanted to catch up again, but found that he couldn't catch up at all.

Isn't this Robben's cut-in? ! ——

Suker's sudden cut-in made Bayern Munich's defense line in chaos.

They had seen many breakthroughs by Suker before the game, but this kind of cut-in was rare.

If you have to say, when he was in Milan, Suker liked to move on the penalty area line for a while, and was even called the "Suker Corridor" by the Italian commentator.

After joining Real Madrid, in order to pursue goal efficiency, Suker rarely dribbled like this.

Now suddenly doing this, they were a little confused.

"Badstuber! Go!"

"Don't stretch your foot!"

"Get him out! Get him out!"

Suker dribbled horizontally along the penalty area line.

On the back line, Benzema was stuck there, ready to advance at any time, with Bale on the right.

Bayern Munich was obviously unprepared for this change.

At this moment, Suker pretended to shoot, tricking Badstuber into stretching his foot to block again.

Suker dribbled forward again and pulled out the shooting angle.

"It's OK!"

Suker twisted his waist and shot.

Suker kicked a reverse angle, and the ball passed in front of Badstuber and quickly shuttled towards the left goal post.

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Neuer rushed to save the ball, and he almost touched the ball with his fingertips.

The trajectory of the ball changed, and it hit the goal post and bounced towards the small penalty area on the right.

There, Benzema and Boateng quickly followed up, and before the opponent, Benzema followed up and kicked the ball into the goal.

Swish! !

In the 28th minute, Real Madrid scored the first goal.

Benzema scored a goal with a follow-up shot!

"Goal!!! Oh my god!! Benzema!! Benzema has made a contribution!"

Spanish commentator Gonzalez suddenly jumped up from the bench and shouted excitedly.

In the stalemate situation, this goal is so crucial!

"Suker's cut-in shot completely messed up Bayern Munich's defense. Neuer made a desperate save to block it, but Bayern Munich was unlucky. The ball bounced to the small penalty area on the right, and Benzema made a supplementary shot to score!"

"This attack came from Suker's dribbling on the left wing again."

"After Robben cut in, Suker also shot in the same way! This shows Suker's diverse offensive ability and comprehensiveness!"

"I didn't expect Bayern Munich's defense to be torn apart like this!"

"I think Bayern Munich's defenders are also very troubled!"

As the commentator shouted, the camera shifted to Bayern's defenders.

Alaba held his head with a look of disbelief.

"He can still cut in like this?"

This was never said before the game!

Suker will still play like this?

Lahm and others were silent.

Alaba is too young to have experienced the Suker of AC Milan.

If he had, he wouldn't have asked this question.

Yes!

Suker can cut inside.

It's just that he hasn't played like this for too long, causing them to forget the 'Suker Corridor' that once shook Europe!
