234 Attacking the Soft Underbelly
Having arrived at the Champions League semi-finals, Situ Yunbing no longer needs to give the team a bloody spree.
He believed that every player had the same feelings as him. It seemed as if there were a blazing flames burning. No one could extinguish this gorgeous fireworks, and the fire would only burn more and more!
Standing at the Allianz Stadium and feeling the cheering pressure from the home team fans, Situ Yunbing's eyes were filled with excitement.
Europe is not big, but the football cultures of different countries are completely different. When he visits the Premier League stadium this season, he can feel the fanaticism of the fans. In Munich, German fans are more unrestrained and enthusiastic!
Van Gaal sat in the coach's seat and waited for the start of the game, holding a folder and a pen in his hand, as if he wanted to record the details of the game at any time so as to use his intelligence and wisdom to defeat the enemy.
German fans seem to be mentally prepared and will not make a fuss about the young Situ Yunbing.
Situ Yunbing was already famous all over the world as soon as he entered the world. If it were in the Champions League group stage, Bayern Munich fans might not take Situ Yunbing seriously, but in the semi-finals that were related to the final tickets, no one dared to underestimate Situ Yunbing!
The players of both teams made their heads held high and their chests were erect.
The enthusiastic hustle and bustle of the Allianz Stadium has made the Champions League semi-finals a veritable football feast!
"Good evening, the fans waiting in front of the TV must be as much as I look forward to the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals held at Allianz Stadium today. The teams that reached the Champions League semi-finals this year are Monaco, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Barcelona.
Premier League fans may be a little disappointed. After five years, they have not seen Premier League teams in the Champions League semi-finals again.
However, there are many highlights in the semi-finals this year. Mourinho made a comeback. Van Gaal also led Bayern Munich to achieve a breakthrough in his first season when he returned to the top European arena. He also knows that Bayern Munich has not reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for many years. Guardiola's Barcelona continues to be strong. No team can defend the title successfully after the Champions League reform. If Barcelona wants to set a record, they must first pass the Inter Milan level. Monaco coach Situ Yunbing is constantly setting his personal records, from the first Chinese coach in the history of the Champions League to the youngest semi-finals coach, etc. His Monaco outstanding is not very youthful and passionate. They have left a strong mark on this stage, and the more magical record is not far from reaching.
Today we will watch the first leg of the Champions League semi-final match of Bayern Munich against Monaco at the Allianz Stadium.
Since Bayern Munich reached the top in the league at the end of last month, they have made great progress in the third line. Although they can only lead Schalke by 04 two points after the last round of the league, Bayern Munich is now a world away from the lame giants who are stumbling and plagued by injuries in the first half of the season.
Monaco is about to complete the defense of the league title, and it is only a matter of time before they win the league championship trophy. They have more room to adjust the team to concentrate on the Champions League!
Let's take a look at the lineup of the two teams today.
Bayern Munich 421
Goalkeeper: Bute.
Defenders: Ram, Van Biden, Demikelis, Contento.
Midfielder: Robben, Schweinsteiger, Muller, Pranic, Ribery.
Forward: Olic.
Monaco 4
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Modesto, Benatia, Vertonheng, Muratori.
Midfielder: Perez, Nkuru, Matic.
Forwards: Falcao, Suarez, Gareth Bale.
It seems that Monaco has more courage in the away game. Instead of continuing their previous 442 formation, they will add Witsel to the midfield to improve their defensive style, they will send all three main strikers to the field.
Although the later the Champions League event, the more likely it is to be that both sides are very conservative, especially in the first round, today, looking at the lineups of the two teams, it is probably difficult to be conservative. Let us look forward to a wonderful game together!β
With the whistle at the beginning of the game, Situ Yunbing and Van Gaal stared at the trend of the game.
Bayern Munich played very positively after the opening game.
Van Gaal has also always been famous for his aggressive and good at offensive football. Whether it is Ajax, Barcelona, ββor Alkmaar and Bayern Munich in recent years, his team has always burst out with amazing offensive energy.
Although Monaco had four formations today, it was defensive and counterattacking after the opening.
There is no intention of fighting against the opponent or confronting him head-on.
Ram assisted from the right, received Schweinsteiger's pass and quickly collided with Robben with a wall. Muratori seemed a little nervous. Today, he replaced Morrow, and there was not much problem with his ability, but it may take some time to adapt psychologically.
Ram easily dribbled from the outside and sent a half-high cross.
Olic is not the kind of center who is good at fighting for high points, but he is a bit similar to Inzaghi, who has the first-class point and is very sensitive to the sense of smell of capturing opportunities.
Vertonheng was not sure about the situation behind him, so he blocked the ball out of the bottom line when he returned to defense with safety.
Bayern Munich's corner kick was cleared by Matic's header. Suarez controlled the ball outside the penalty area. Under the pressure of Pranic's pressing, he hit the ball across the right. Falcao waded the ball quickly and advanced quickly. When he arrived at halftime, he encountered Contento, a young player born in the 1990s. Falcao stopped directly and turned to cut across the middle.
After shaking out of space, he immediately passed the ball over the top and sent it to the left side of the frontcourt.
The football flew to the empty belt behind Demikalis. Gareth Bale barely controlled the ball in a fast running, but it delayed for some time, allowing Ram to catch up to interfere with him.
Gareth Bale stopped in the side and kicked back to Ram to defend and lose, then knocked the ball across the middle.
Suarez quickly followed up and got rid of Pranic. Since Van Biden broke into Monaco's penalty area during a corner kick attack, now only Demichelis is the only one on the Bayern Munich back line.
After Suarez stopped and fought to the front of Demikalis, he took advantage of the opportunity when Demikalis came to grab it and Suarez nimblely changed direction and wiped it away!
Just when Suarez thought he could create a one-on-one opportunity, Contento ran from the side and back to release the tackle and stabbed the ball first.
Suarez was so angry that he jumped.
Monaco fans also sighed in disappointment.
I almost wanted to give Bayern Munich a "surprise"!
Bayern Munich almost got rid of himself at the start of the attack!
Fortunately, there is no danger.
In the 4th minute of the game, Bayern Munich midfielder patiently organized the offensive. Conttento assisted from the left, Pranic passed the ball, and when Conttento pushed forward, Falcao immediately pressed him. The former shot and went to the front right.
Schweinsteiger passed the ball diagonally under Matic's blockade and then passed it to the left side.
Ribery just stopped the ball and found himself hit by Perez and Modesto.
He waded the ball on the spot and started to move to the bottom, but after one step of the ball, he quickly and decisively changed direction and cut across!
Suddenly rushed through the gap between Modesto and Perez!
Personal abilities can be seen. When Matic retreated and intercepted him, Ribery quickly knocked the ball across the right side of the penalty area.
Robben cut in and killed in the air!
When he just stopped the ball, Nkuru had already come to his front. Robben made a spike to the side, his body moved, but the ball under his feet did not move. When Nkuru's center of gravity had just tilted, Robben quickly dialed the ball into the middle to find space for shooting.
As soon as Robben shook his feet and shot the far corner of the goal!
The football flew towards the far corner of the goal with an inner arc. De Gea moved quickly and saved the ball with one hand and blocked the ball out of the baseline!
"Wow! Robben's shot almost won the first goal for Bayern Munich. This is Robben's good shooting method. He always looks for space in front of the opponent's penalty area to play the far corner of the goal. De Gea is well prepared and did not let Robben succeed!
This ball was shot wonderfully and was also beautifully pounced!"
Situ Yunbing made gestures on the sidelines, causing the midfielders to slightly shrink their defense.
Because Bayern Munich did not go to Gomez or Klose, the cross threat was not great, while Ribery and Robben had a fatal threat near the middle in the front of the penalty area!
If the defense line is too long, it is easy to give them space.
Situ Yunbing was mentally prepared for Bayern Munich's offensive pressure.
Bayern Munich's strong recovery in the second half of the season is also related to the ability of Robben Ribery to play at the same time. In the first half of the season, the two always missed one and couldn't get together.
In the 7th minute of the game, Monaco launched an offensive in the backcourt. Muratori entered the game state and unswervingly participated in the attack on the left. After receiving Matic's pass, he was under pressure from Robben to chase and press. Muratori decisively passed the ball straight ahead.
Gareth Bale directly knocked the ball and cut into the middle when he was receiving the back. He did not challenge Ram, nor did he lack confidence. Instead, Situ Yunbing asked him to do so.
There is no need to get involved with Bayern Munich on the wing.
Gareth Bale, who turned into the middle, shorted the ball to Suarez's feet before Schweinsteiger intercepted.
Pranic immediately pressed Suarez, and Suarez didn't stick to the ball. He dribbled for two yards and transferred the ball to the right.
Falcao quickly cut inside and led Conttento to enter the inside defense. Seeing that Bayern Munich's backcourt defense had formed a circle, Falcao kicked the ball and passed it to the right side of the penalty area.
Behind Demichelis!
When the Argentine defender turned back to defend, he suddenly found that Gareth Bernie had cut!
It was just that Gareth Bale was a little difficult to deal with when he received Falcao's pass. It was easy to stop the ball and play again and there was no chance. He had to use his non-usual foot to attack directly, and it was somewhat different from the direction of his running position.
So Gareth Bale chose to shoot directly as soon as possible, and he jumped and forced his head to attack!
The football changed slightly but still deviated from the goal.
Bayern Munich had a false alarm.
Situ Yunbing applauded on the sidelines and was satisfied with the team's performance.
Now Bayern Munich should also notice that Monaco's main direction of attack today is not a system or a method, but a strong attack and fierce attack against the weak links in Bayern Munich's direction!
Chapter completed!
