What is a destructive midfielder?

It is not easy to work in Bayern's coaching team.

Because most of the club's senior executives are a group of legendary old men. When they were players, they brought back club and national team trophies to Munich and Berlin, and they also have their own understanding of football.

They will not be as "quiet" as the senior executives of other giants.

The coaching team is not targeting Muller, they just haven't found the most appropriate way to use Muller in Ancelotti's Bayern system.

Facing the bombardment of the famous players, the anger of the fans, and Muller's own misunderstanding

Ancelotti didn't want to reply at all. His German was still very poor at this time. He could only say a few opening remarks and had to use Italian when he was interviewed.

He likes Muller very much and often praised Muller before he coached Bayern.

But considering that Bayern's average age is the highest in Europe at this time and the aging of the lineup, Ancelotti believes that Bayern can't play 4-4-2 now. Since he entered the Allianz Arena, he has always insisted on 4-3-3.

It is Ancelotti's label to eat according to the food.

Happy Beans players are miserable: other teams' 4-3-3 is more offensive, shortening the number of offensive and defensive rounds, and easily generating more goals; An's 4-3-3 tends to prolong the number of rounds in the autonomous offensive stage.

Time passed unknowingly.

Bayern, who was one goal behind, regained the initiative on the field.

Arsenal continued to defend in a low position.

Can't grab it.

In the midfield stranglehold, only Li Kang had the advantage of position. Cazorla had no advantage against Vidal and Alonso, not to mention the young Xhaka.

Fortunately, Maguire and Koscielny played well and did not let Lewandowski and Coman get too many opportunities.

In the 24th minute of the game.

Thiago dribbled the ball in the 30-meter area, attracting Xhaka and Cazorla to grab it.

Then he knocked the ball back and plunged into the crowd in the frontcourt.

Alonso seized the gap in Arsenal's defense.

Long legs met the ball and pulled it.

The football stuck to the grass, penetrated Arsenal's midfield defense, and found Lewandowski at the top of the penalty area!

Lewandowski was being pressed against his butt by Maguire.

This guy is not only good at shooting.

His ball-playing ability is also first-class.

Before receiving the ball with his back, he made a false tendency to "turn around".

Maguire turned around with the trend.

Halfway through the turn, he found that he was fooled!

He watched Lewandowski knock the ball with his heel. Then the football passed through his crotch and rolled into the penalty area!

"Beautiful!"

"Too imaginative!"

"Lewandowski's fulcrum role exceeds the traditional center forward!"

At this moment.

Thiago also got out of the crowd and wiped into the penalty area!

He was about to take the ball and shoot!

"This ball is in!"

"Wow!"

When Bayern No. 6 kicked his leg, his sight was suddenly blocked by Arsenal No. 10 jersey!

The football was out of his control radius!

Li Kang took the lead and cleared the ball!

Thiago was squeezed and staggered two steps, and he smoothed his hair helplessly: such a high concealment of the forward insertion was discovered by the No. 4 position of La Masia.

Cech was still in shock, and he hugged Li Kang excitedly: "Li, you helped me solve a big problem!"

The 32nd minute of the game.

Bayern made a mistake in passing the ball in the frontcourt.

Maguire intercepted the ball, but there was no space to launch a long counterattack.

Lewandowski is not only good at shooting. Although he is a big mouth and likes to talk nonsense, he has a very high football IQ on the green field and has a first-class ability to press and interfere.

The two seemed to have swapped roles.

The role of arching the buttocks was swapped.

"Beautiful, the ball was passed out!"

"It's a pity that Bayern's overall formation also completed the return to defense, and Arsenal lost a good opportunity to counterattack."

"Maguire's passing idea is very simple, just looking for Li Kang."

"Hey! Li Kang is going to play on Alaba's side!"

Alaba had a bad problem at this time: his defensive ability is beyond doubt, but his return to defense is not active enough.

Alonso, Benatia, and Boateng often have to help him fill in the gap.

Li Kang dribbled the ball, accelerated a little, and got rid of Vidal's entanglement.

Then he passed the ball to the right.

The empty area left by Alaba.

"Sanchez!"

"Receive the ball on the right. Accelerate!"

"When did he switch positions with Waltke?"

"No problem, he can be competent in any position in the attack line during his time at Barcelona!"

"Boateng's replacement speed is very fast!"

The dark and thick thighs kicked the grass fiercely.

The short Chilean star caused panic among Bayern fans!

No inside cut!

Sanchez did not intend to fight Boateng head-on, but continued to dribble to the bottom line with the ball!

Can't get through.

Except Messi, few people can crush the Bayern central defender from the front.

The speed of the two people in the local area is very terrifying.

Chasing each other!

How can a small man break a big man?

Sanchez made an emergency stop, and Boateng couldn't control the inertia and gave up the passing space!

"He's going to cross the ball!"

"Arsenal is showing its power again!"

In the penalty area, both teams are ready to make a move!

Morata feels that his moment to perform has come. He is not afraid of Benatia who is defending him tightly!

Prepare to predict the ball and jump!

Snap!

The ball didn't fly into the penalty area!

Sanchez sent a "reverse triangle" diagonal pass!

The ball rolled to the top of the penalty area.

Li Kang rushed over, and the bald shadow in his vision suddenly blurred, as if he was hesitating about something.

"This pass is a bit confusing!"

"Theoretically, there is no long-range angle for one touch!"

Another snap!

The football left Li Kang's left foot.

Drawing an elegant arc in the Bayern penalty area!

Passing Alonso and Benatia!

A sharp drop!

Falling on Morata's head!

The Spanish striker didn't know why he could guess Li Kang's intention.

No.

It was Li who created the most suitable header opportunity for himself!

Leaning over.

Exerting strength from the waist and abdomen!

Heading!

The spinning football, after touching Morata's forehead, suddenly turned into a cannonball!

It blasted towards Bayern's goal unstoppably!

Arsenal fans were overjoyed.

Bayern fans were shocked.

A pair of orange latex gloves turned upside down the joys and sorrows of more than 70,000 fans.

Snap!

The football was blocked out of the baseline by Neuer, who stretched his body to the extreme!

"Amazing save!"

"A world-class save!"

"Neuer has done a great job, he is more than just a goalkeeper!"

"Arsenal missed a great opportunity to expand their advantage!"

"But the Gunners' deterrence and cooperation in this attack are worthy of praise!"

Morata rubbed his forehead with a helpless expression.

Neuer got up and ignored Benatia who came forward to hug him, but pointed out Alaba's position with his finger.

Live broadcast room.

-

[My 1:4! Why haven't we scored yet? ]

-

[Don't worry, Bayern's goals are concentrated in the second half. Believe in the data, don't be blind. ]

-

[Sanchez is smart, Bayern is not afraid of regular bottom crosses at all, it's better to let Li Kang handle it at the top of the penalty area. ]

-

[Morata's header, that was a header close at hand! It was actually saved. ]

-

[Neuer without injuries, in my eyes, is the goalkeeper version of Li Mingdeng! 】

-

[It's strange that Neuer is not afraid of top shooters, but Balotelli and Li Kang]

In the following game, neither side created better opportunities.

Thiago was frozen by Li Kang, and the agility and imagination he showed in the first ten minutes gradually disappeared without a trace.

In the La Masia civil war, the No. 4 position was better after all.

Xhaka, relieved, went to entangle the "old" Alonso.

But Arsenal's transition attack was repeatedly disrupted by Benatia and "gatekeeper" Neuer.

Beep! Beep~

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

At the Allianz Arena, Bayern fans shouted slogans to encourage their players.

The situation of falling behind by one goal did not discourage them.

But some fans did not forget to bombard Ancelotti.

The stands behind the coaching seats echoed Muller's name.

"Thomas Muller!!!"

"Thomas Muller!!!"

"Thomas Muller!!!"

Muller's expression was complicated.

After Van Gaal promoted him to the first team, he went through several coaches. Only this season he was not valued.

Ancelotti was still expressionless, chewing gum and walking towards the passage.

Even if he has a big heart, he needs to take some nicotine during the break to relieve the pressure.

Arsenal locker room.

Bold pointed to the tactical board.

"Bayern exposed the defensive problems of the two flanks in the first half."

"Kimmich is easy to lose position and expose the gap in the positional battle!"

"Alaba is used to pressing in the mobile battle, and the timing of returning to defense is slow!"

"We still have a chance to expand the score!"

Theory is theory.

Boateng and Benatia are too good at filling holes.

Vidal also fully protects the back line.

And Thiago also has strong defensive attributes in positional battles.

Bayern is not so easy to be defeated.

With the weak against the strong, Arsenal can only rely on transition attacks to find scoring opportunities.

Wenger pulled Schweinsteiger aside, and the two communicated in a very low voice.

Ancelotti, who had finished smoking, returned to the locker room and heard a bad news. Pah, pah, it was bad news: Thiago's old injury recurred, and the team doctor gave him a suggestion to rest!

Who else can be used?

There are still many people who can be used.

For example, Martinez and Costa, but the organization and creativity of these two guys are not as strong as Thiago.

Between thoughts.

Ancelotti looked at Muller.

He knew very well: if Muller was replaced, the tactical system he set for Bayern might collapse.

But if he wanted to equalize the score in the first round, he had to use Muller!

Players and head coaches are sometimes like a relationship between men and women.

There is no saying which side is good or bad, only whether the style is suitable.

Muller is very good.

Ancelotti is also very good.

But it just doesn't fit.

Temporary inappropriateness is also inappropriateness.

But in order to win the game, when making tactical adjustments, inappropriateness has to fit.

Ancelotti had to give up something to fit Muller.

Muller also had to pay more to fit Ancelotti.

The fifteen-minute break ended quickly.

The referee team led the players from both sides back to the field.

When Bayern fans saw Muller, they immediately burst into cheers and applause!

Then.

They saw Bastian Schweinsteiger again, and their emotions became complicated again.

Looking forward to Iron Piggy returning to Allianz for the rest of his life, he found that the club no longer had a place for him.

VIP box.

The German legends were not happy.

They want Muller to play, but Bayern can't replace Thiago!

Just like the 2014 World Cup, with Muller in the frontcourt and Kroos in the midfield.

During Guardiola's era, the full-backs moved in, which could resolve the indirect midfield pressure.

But Ram is preparing to retire and was not included in the squad at all today.

"Thiago's old injury has relapsed."

The atmosphere was solemn.

A group of middle-aged and old men who once shined on the field all showed worried looks.

It's not Mueller's problem.

It's not Ancelotti's problem either.

If Bayern's overall lineup was a few years younger, they wouldn't be afraid of Arsenal, whose overall strength is lower.

"Viewers, welcome back!"

"The live broadcast for you now is the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in the 2016/17 season!"

"Bayern Munich plays Arsenal at home."

"The temporary score between the two sides is 0:1!"

“We saw substitutions made on both sides!”

"For Bayern, Muller replaces Thiago! The formation should return to the familiar 4-4-2!"

"Arsenal also made a matchup substitution, replacing Xhaka and replacing Schweinsteiger! The steel piggy returns to Allianz!"

Beep!

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The second half of the game begins.

Arsenal have the ball.

Morata kicked the ball back to Li Kang.

The formations of both sides quickly overlapped.

Muller is very hard-working, and Ancelotti gave him a sense of crisis: if he wants to adapt to the development of football tactics, he must also develop other abilities.

"Li Kang is so stable with the ball!"

"Moved to the wing."

"Walcott catches the ball. Start accelerating!"

"If you can't pass Vidal, you still have to pass it back!"

"What happened? Arsenal took control of the situation easily!"

"The situation seems to be reversed from the first half!"

The football is passed quickly and slowly on the green field.

Arsenal were firmly in control of the ball.

Li Kang is too familiar with the Bayern in front of him.

It is simply weaker than the Bayern Munich team they played against in the Bundesliga.

From God's perspective.

After Bayern removed Thiago, many problems were exposed in the 4-4-2 formation.

Koeman and Robben retreated, two wings that tended to attack. They did not have much effect on the midfielder's physical combat.

Vidal's midfield freedom has been greatly reduced.

The old Alonso can't keep flying up and down for long.

Midfield strangulation?

In fact, the five Arsenal midfielders strangled the two Bayern midfielders!

The full-backs move in?

In his early childhood, Kimmich was far inferior to Muller.

What's more, Arsenal has Sanchez on the wing.

What if Lewandowski and Muller also retreat?

Then Bayern's transition attack couldn't be played at all. Even if Arsenal was intercepted, the midfielder would have plenty of time to get into position.

It's been a long time since Li Kang played in a game where he proactively gave answers to questions.

"Sudden speed increase!"

"After Arsenal dominated the situation, they initiated a pass and cut in the 30-meter area of ​​Bayern's half!"

"The direction of attack is the left!"

"indentation!"

"Surge!"

The football is passed quickly at the feet of Arsenal players.

The movement of offensive players in the frontcourt sometimes gathers and sometimes disperses.

Cazorla constantly adjusts his position as he runs.

“The cooperation is wonderful!”

"Mercury floods the ground!"

"Flowing clouds and flowing water!"

"But Bayern's defense shrinks very quickly!"

Courtside.

Boulder said excitedly: "Boss, we are going to score again soon."

Wenger was sitting on the coaching bench and couldn't help but clenched his fists at this moment.

The other side.

Ancelotti was calm and calm.

He firmly believes that defensive players can disrupt the Gunners' passing attack.

Bayern may be afraid of Atletico Madrid's impact, but it is worthy of the bells and whistles of Barcelona and Arsenal.

Kimmich was a little nervous.

But not afraid at all.

Vidal, Robben and Alonso soon gathered around him.

Most of Bayern's defensive forces in the midfield and frontcourt were also concentrated.

Arsenal's offensive direction is too obvious!

Isn't it just a hit on the left rib?

"Cazorla's challenge was ruined by Vidal!"

"Schweinsteiger made it up in time!"

"Give it to Sanchez!"

Vidal came to his senses.

The football has stopped at Sanchez's feet.

Arsenal, who is 1.68 meters tall, shook his shoulders and squeezed out of Kimmich during the start!

This squeeze.

Arsenal's passing and cutting also stalled.

"Kimmich's defensive positioning is crucial!"

"I couldn't win the ball, but it interfered with Arsenal's passing rhythm!"

"The arsenal doesn't have enough room to speed up at this location!"

Sanchez is not thinking about speeding up.

After he broke out of the safe environment to play the ball, he swung his thick thighs!

Not a long shot!

But a large-scale transfer!

Pass to the right!

Find Li Kang!

Everyone's eyes followed the trajectory of the football.

When falling.

Two figures appeared in the shot.

Li Kang and Alaba!

"We will see the competition between these two young men on the pitch for many years to come."

"The second conversation in my career!"

"Sanchez's pass was very powerful!"

Alaba has gained muscle this season.

Super genius, adjusting the body is just like eating and drinking water.

I don't believe I will be overturned again.

The moment the football fell to the ground.

Even if Li took over the position.

I have the confidence to not fall behind. What's going on, Li's running posture!

The whole stadium was boiling!

Bayern fans didn't even see how Li Kang got rid of Alaba!

Just two blinks!

Li Kang dribbled the ball horizontally from the right and broke into the Bayern penalty area!

This running posture is exactly the same as Luo's own old man!

"Step on the wind and fire wheels!"

"Change line!"

"Cut inside!"

In Li Kang's field of vision, the bald shadow appeared again, with a golden glow!

Countless fragments rushed into his mind crazily.

The blood seemed to boil.

In the Bayern penalty area.

Boateng put his hands behind his back and kept a subtle distance from Li Kang.

Don't kick easily!

A penalty kick will be caused in a minute!

This kid's pace is too weird!

Do a good job of blocking!

Gradually.

The pupils of Bayern's central defender shrank slightly!

He followed Li Kang's lateral movement and adjusted his defensive position.

He couldn't keep up.

Li Kang touched the ball with his left foot one step, one step, and one step.

Three consecutive left foot touches!

Tight pace adjustment.

Let Boateng's center of gravity shift during the lateral movement! No longer able to block the opponent's shot!

Bang!

The football left Li Kang's left foot!

Spinning violently!

Going to the blind spot of Bayern's goal!

Neuer's orange gloves could no longer change the joys and sorrows of more than 70,000 fans in the stadium!

The white net was lifted!

0:2! ! !

Robben, who was still on the way to assist in defense, was shocked.
