On the evening of April 23, 20:30, Madrid, Spain.

The stands at the Bernabeu Stadium are very steep, giving people a very strong sense of oppression. The layers of stands are filled with black people, densely packed, and they make deafening sounds, sweeping every space in the stadium.

The players of the two teams, led by referee Weber, came into the Bernabeu.

The monstrous sounds created by more than 80,000 fans made the players of the two teams feel the feeling of gladiators entering the bloody arena and the Bullfighters entering the Colosseum, which makes people feel nervous and stressful.

No one would doubt that this would definitely be a classic showdown between top teams!

Bayern Munich, coached by Guardiola, is like Barcelona he once coached. Any fan only needs to watch a few minutes of Bayern Munich's game to recognize at a glance. This is the football style that belongs to Guardiola and Barcelona.

Real Madrid has a variety of styles, with both Italian-style solid defense and sharp and impactful counterattacks. At the same time, this team can also be patient, calm down, and pass and control slowly...

If Guardiola has made a deep mark on Bayern Munich and has his own traditional style and characteristics, then what Ancelotti has created at Real Madrid is that there is no fixed style.

So in recent seasons, Real Madrid's tactics have changed, and the formation has also changed from 4231 to 4333, and then it has switched back and forth between different tactical formations such as 442, 4321, and 352. Ancelotti even sometimes adopts a variety of different tactical formations in a game according to the situation.

These are two completely different teams, but they are also one of the strongest teams in the world today.

Such a showdown and such a collision will only occur in the Champions League.

...

When the two teams walked into the stadium, the starting lineup of both sides was already very obvious.

The home team Real Madrid still ranks the 433 formation that they are most familiar with and are best at.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defense is Marcelo, Xavi Martinez, Ramos and Carvajal, the midfield is Mascherano, the front is David Silva and Modric, and the front trident is Hazard, Yang Yang and Di Maria.

Players including Isco and Suarez were all placed on the bench.

Guardiola arranged a double-back midfielder formation in this game, including 4231.

The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Alaba, Dante, Boateng and Rafinia, the double midfielder is Schweinsteiger and Ram, the frontcourt is Ribery, Tony Kroos and Thomas Muller, and the single forward is Manjukichi.

This is also an important starting lineup for Bayern Munich this season, which is to switch Ram, who was originally playing on the right back, to the midfielder, because he is one of the few players in Bayern Munich who can meet Guardiola's requirements for the midfielder.

But in this way, the right back will have to play on Rafina, and the Brazilian right back is not stable.

Real Madrid also made targeted plans for this. If Ram plays on the right back, Real Madrid will start to grab the midfield, but if Ram returns to the midfield, Real Madrid will appropriately give up the midfield, but will attack Rafinia's side during attack.

Everything has its pros and cons. Ancelotti is best at reading the food and formulating his own tactical style based on his opponent's situation.

Therefore, after seeing Bayern Munich's starting lineup, Real Madrid has decided on the strategy and tactics of this game.

…………

…………

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid adopted a stable tactical approach.

Bayern Munich is taking the lead in the away game and actively competing for possession of the ball, but the home team Real Madrid has no such intention.

Ancelotti's pre-match tactics were well arranged. Real Madrid's defensive weakness lies in the gap after the full-back's attack. Therefore, after the opening, Real Madrid's main idea was to seek stability and strive not to give Bayern Munich a chance to score away goals.

As for the ball being grabbed by Bayern Munich, Real Madrid doesn't mind, because every time they play Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid has never competed for possession, and basically plays defensive counterattacks. This is Real Madrid's specialty, and everyone knows how to play.

Guardiola's coaching ability is very obvious from the beginning of the game, because Bayern Munich's midfield siege and pressing and oppressing are very impressive, and they are even stronger than Barcelona today.

Because Xavi and Iniesta are both old, but German players such as Schweinsteiger and Ram have stronger tactical execution.

This kind of pressing and surrounding seems very simple, which is to use the advantage of local numbers to grab the ball, but in fact it is very difficult and has a great risk. Once it cannot be grabbed, it is easy for the opponent to strike sharply.

But judging from the confrontation in the opening few minutes, Bayern Munich still did a pretty good job, and pressing and sieging Real Madrid's midfielder was relatively successful. Ram and Schweinsteiger's double midfield combination made a great contribution.

...

"No wonder Guardiola would rather leave a flaw on the right than move Ram to the midfield." Ancelotti nodded and praised.

Zidane nodded constantly, and the player Ram was indeed very comprehensive.

As a defender, he is the world's top full-back. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the top three. What's even more terrifying is that he is the top in both sides, and he can basically enter the top three in the world steadily, which is terrifying.

The main reason for letting him appear in the midfield midfielder is that he is comprehensive and stable enough.

In Barcelona's tactical system, the position of the back midfielder is the hub, and the first thing that requires is stability. This is also the reason why Guardiola gave up Yaya Toure and chose Busquets. It is not that he has strength, but that Busquets is more stable.

On the offensive end, Ram has a strong and stable pass ability, and is very smart without the ball. He is not tall, fast and flexible, and has excellent defensive ability. He knows how to play to his strengths and avoids his weaknesses. He has a very high ball quotient. He serves as a midfielder and has very good control over the scene.

Sometimes, players in the midfield position cannot rely on their feelings or data. Just look at the comparison just by simply looking at the comparison.

It's like Ram, is there him, how is Bayern Munich performing?

This is the most intuitive comparison.

In this game, Bayern Munich was able to control the scene from the beginning, with Ram, Schweinsteiger and Tony Cross making great contributions.

This also surprised Zidane, because he discovered that there were such excellent midfielders among German players. Before that, everyone was suspicious of Guardiola's coaching Bayern Munich.

"After stabilizing our position, our counterattack began!" A trace of fierce look flashed across Ancelotti's eyes.

This is the tactic he arranged in the locker room before the game.

Be steady at the beginning, keep the defense stable, keep the formation unchaotic, and then slowly take a look at the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

…………

…………

On the court, the players from both sides came and went to each other.

The first shot of the game appeared in the fifth minute. Thomas Muller got the ball back on the right, and Tony Cross made a long shot, but was easily confiscated by Casilla and failed to pose a threat.

But Bayern Munich still firmly controls the situation and ball rights on the court.

"The game lasted ten minutes and we saw the latest statistics. Real Madrid, who played at home, was a little passive tonight, or it should be said that Ancelotti's team was a bit conservative. He has not shot so far since the opening game, which is hard to believe."

"Not only that, Real Madrid is only 10% in terms of ball possession rate, which is undoubtedly quite scary. Did Ancelotti's team never think about defeating their opponents at home?"

The live TV commentator was very surprised by the game scene after the opening, because Real Madrid's performance was completely different from usual, and even more conservative than when facing Barcelona, ​​which is inexplicable.

You know, this is at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Of course, there is nothing to see in ten minutes.

The game is very fast, and ten minutes are just a blink of an eye.

Only Real Madrid players on the court know that they have been adapting to Bayern Munich's pass and ball control style, midfield surround and press and frontcourt offensive rhythm.

Real Madrid has a lot of experience, so they can quickly become familiar with their opponents' methods and rhythm.

Guardiola brought Barcelona's pass, ball control and high-pressure pressure to Bayern Munich, but at the same time it also brought Barcelona's fatal weakness to Bayern Munich, that is, slow!

This is a very fatal problem that has always existed since Barcelona.

Or it should be said that for head coaches like Guardiola who regard the ball as life, the first thing they do after grabbing the ball is not to counterattack, but to control the ball firmly, and then think about how to counterattack.

Real Madrid is slowly adjusting their defense to make the midfield defense more flexible and changeable, adapting to Bayern Munich's organization and offense, and waiting patiently for the opportunity.

In the 14th minute, Bayern Munich made another attack, Ribery made a straight pass, Thomas Muller turned around and shot at the front of the penalty area, blocked by Ramos and gave Bayern Munich a corner kick.

But the German team failed to make good use of the corner kick, and Schweinsteiger's header was easily hugged by Casillas.

By the 20th minute, Bayern Munich still controlled the situation, with a ball possession rate of 80%.

Two full-backs also began to actively forward. Rafinia took the ball on the right, Mandzukizzi headed the ball and pushed the ball back to the front point. Tony Cross inserted the ball and volleyed in front of the goal, but was blocked by Xavi Martinez and blocked the ball to the left.

Marcelo rushed out of the penalty area first, grabbed the ball, and passed it forward to David Silva.

After the Spanish midfielder pulled to the left line to receive the ball, he turned around and was about to lead the ball forward, but saw Marcelo quickly jumping forward from the inside line. He immediately understood and passed the ball straight to Hazard on the left.

The Belgian winger also took the ball from the left line. After stopping the ball, he immediately led forward and pulled Rafinia out. Then he suddenly passed the ball behind him with a diagonal pass and sent the ball to the left outside the penalty area.

At this moment, Marcelo, who was running all the way, suddenly appeared behind Borafina and inserted into the left side of the penalty area as quickly as possible.
Chapter completed!
