After Manchester City stole the ball in the backcourt, they quickly counterattacked.
Robben dribbled the ball forward on the right, and David Silva followed up in the middle. After receiving Robben's pass, Bayern's midfielder Gustavo rushed over.
Although David Silva still passed the ball, his whole body was "carried" by Gustavo and fell on the court, and the passed ball failed to reach his teammate Suarez.
of feet.
The referee clearly understood the situation and blew the foul whistle, giving Manchester City a free kick.
The distance was far away, but Gareth Bale still ran over and took the penalty without hesitation.
The result was no surprise, as goalkeeper Kraft got it directly.
David Silva spotted the opportunity and called out to his teammates to signal that he was about to start pressing, but Bayern's goalkeeper directly kicked the ball forward with a long pass, looking for Gomez.
Manchester City's pressing failed to start.
David Silva smiled helplessly, turned around and walked back.
From the opening to the present, Manchester City has been patiently waiting for the opportunity.
The game has only passed for more than six minutes, and it's too early to be anxious now.
Football is like this. Any set of routines that are destined to succeed cannot be launched anytime and anywhere.
Even if the offensive coordination is in control of the ball, it is often easy to make mistakes due to interference from defensive players.
This is also the most interesting part of the football game.
Sometimes it may even happen that the carefully arranged routine does not work out, but an accidental flash of inspiration leads to a goal.
These are very common things and players are used to them.
David Silva and his teammates are waiting patiently.
Manchester City quickly organized another attack. Rakitic tried a long pass behind him, but Suarez was unable to catch up in time due to the interference of Bayern's central defender, and the ball went out of the baseline.
Bayern's goal kick.
…
Gao Shen stood on the sidelines and saw the Manchester City players retreating. As expected, Bayern's two central defenders were standing at the corners of the two penalty areas.
Looking from the direction of Manchester City's attack, Badstuber is standing in the right corner, while Tymoshchuk directly occupies the left sideline of the penalty area, with a wide distance.
Kraft wanted to seize an opportunity. When the ball boy threw the ball into the court, he passed the ball to Tymoshchuk, allowing him to launch the attack, while he retreated to the goal line.
Gao Shen immediately shouted loudly.
"Hey hey hey, it's against the rules! It's against the rules!"
The referee immediately blew the whistle to signal Kraft to restart the ball.
Tymoshchuk had no choice but to kick the ball back to Kraft, who could only place the ball seriously at the kick-off spot.
Gao Shen saw Schweinsteiger running back and immediately called Suarez and David Silva to signal them to pay attention.
Both players also noticed Bayern's movements, especially when Schweinsteiger ran back to the penalty area to receive the ball.
It is obvious that Bayern does not intend to take a big shot, but to drive the ball directly from the backcourt.
This is also a consistent characteristic of Van Gaal.
Manchester City's entire defensive formation dropped very deep, which allowed Bayern's two full-backs to press forward with confidence.
Schweinsteiger dribbled the ball out of the penalty area and continued to move forward.
Suarez stood near the thirty-meter area. When Piggy came up with the ball, he immediately ran towards Piggy.
As soon as the Uruguayan striker moved, David Silva, Gareth Bale, Robben and others also followed suit.
Suarez just stood in front of Schweinsteiger, forcing Xiaozhu to pass the ball. Because he was not sure that he could get past Suarez, he passed the ball to Badstu on his left.
Bell.
After passing the ball, Schweinsteiger ran forward.
Suarez turned his head and saw that David Silva was already coming up. He ignored the piggy, turned towards Bad Stuber, and quickly pushed over.
If you scan the entire field from an overhead camera at this time, it is not difficult to find that Badstuber, Tymoschuk and Bastian Schweinsteiger are exactly in a triangle position, and Bayern's two full-backs are
It is close to the sideline and the position is further forward.
And Suarez is right at the center of this triangle.
The Uruguayan moves with the triangle, and his position makes it difficult for Badstuber to pass the ball.
Whether it is given to Schweinsteiger or Tymoshchuk, there is a risk of being cut off.
This made Badstuber hesitate and continue dribbling the ball.
In Manchester City's pressing training, making opponents hesitate is also a very important part.
Suarez glanced behind him again, then suddenly accelerated and pushed towards Bad Stuber.
The Uruguayan is also very particular about his movement. He just suppressed Badstuber's pass to Tymoshchuk. The Bayern central defender was dribbling the ball forward, and it was not convenient to pass it back. He passed it to the left.
Defender Robben is nearby again, and Rakitic is just hanging around Gustavo.
These are not very good passing lanes.
When Schweinsteiger accelerated Suarez, he also ran forward quickly, creating a passing lane for Badstuber.
This is actually a required course for Van Gaal after he coached Bayern. Triangular passing, the movement of players must create passing routes for teammates at any time, and Bastian Schweinsteiger is an expert in this area.
But when Badstuber passed the ball, David Silva suddenly accelerated and stepped forward to interfere. Gareth Bale, who was originally harassing Lahm on the left side, suddenly accelerated and approached without knowing when.
Two Manchester City players came over at the same time, catching Schweinsteiger off guard.
Under the interference of David Silva, he failed to stop the ball in the first shot and was about to kick the second kick. When he passed the ball to Tymoshchuk in front of him, Gareth Bale was very fast.
Quickly, he got close and squeezed him with his body, preventing him from kicking the ball.
Damn it!
Schweinsteiger was shocked!
Gareth Bale took the lead and poked the ball to Schweinsteiger's right side. David Silva quickly moved forward and drove the ball forward. Almost at the same time, Gareth Bale suddenly
He accelerated, got rid of Bastian Schweinsteiger, and went straight to the left side of the penalty area. He was suspected of playing Tymoshchuk's position.
The sudden change caused the entire Allianz Arena to explode.
David Silva dribbled the ball forward and Suarez and Gareth Bale were already near the penalty area line.
Badstuber saw that Planich had returned and realized that he could no longer retreat.
If he retreats again, David Silva will enter the attack range.
So, he chose to stand at the top of the arc.
But as soon as he stopped, David Silva sent a through ball.
The ball just passed in front of Badstuber, but the Bayern center back's center of gravity hadn't even stopped yet, so how could he block it?
Suarez, who was originally behind him, suddenly crossed directly behind him and caught up with David Silva's pass. Before goalkeeper Kraft could rush out, he fired a straight shot with his right foot.
The ball was sent into the lower left corner of the goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"LUIS SUAREZ!!!!!"
"Manchester City took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field!"
After Suarez scored, everyone was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium.
It was only at this moment that the entire Allianz Arena erupted in exclamations from Bayern fans.
But the ball was already inside the goal line.
"Eight minutes into the opening, Manchester City stole the ball in the frontcourt and took the lead in a very threatening quick counterattack. David Silva assisted Suarez to score!"
"Very unexpected! But this is Manchester City!"
Gao Shen was so excited on the sidelines that he jumped up and cheered loudly.
This is the effect he wanted!
He knows that as long as the design is good and the players execute it well, it is entirely possible for Bayern to step into it.
Sure enough, he guessed it right!
This gave him a sense of accomplishment.
"One to zero!"
"We have seen that Manchester City's frontcourt press is very threatening, and Bayern Munich's defense has problems with passing and receiving."
"Badstuber's pass to Bastian Schweinsteiger was very dangerous, but the most important thing was that Manchester City's David Silva and Gareth Bale suddenly came over to attack, which was unexpected by Schweinsteiger.
Weinsteiger’s Unexpected.”
"After the ball was intercepted, Bayern's two central defenders failed to form a circle in time and were beaten behind by Suarez."
"A very nice counterattack!"
"We even have reason to believe that this should be Gao Shen's deliberate arrangement before the game. Otherwise, it would be difficult to imagine that Manchester City's players could cooperate so well and have such unified thinking."
…
Fell into a trap!
Van Gaal was sitting in the home team's coaching bench at the Allianz Arena. He was experienced and experienced and knew immediately what was going on.
Gao Shen just stared at the ball from his midfield and backcourt!
Damn little fox!
Van Gaal cursed angrily, but he had to admit in his heart that this blow really hit his weak spot.
So, he immediately got up, walked to the sidelines, and adjusted the team's tactics so that the two central defenders would be closer together and the full-backs would be further back.
But Van Gaal's character has never suffered from this kind of weakness. He immediately signaled the team to press forward and put more threats and pressure on the opponent. The focus was on Ribery's side on the left.
Franck Ribery is Bayern's current ace star. He is in very good shape and is quite threatening with the ball.
After the restart, Bayern quickly launched an attack on Ribery's side.
The French scarface dribbled the ball from the wing, passed Lichtsteiner's defense, and cut diagonally into the penalty area. However, Rakitic returned to defense in time and blocked Ribery with his body. Kompany decisively passed the ball to
Javi Martinez.
The Spanish midfielder stopped sideways, glanced ahead, and sent a direct pass.
Suarez retreated, stopped the ball, and turned to the left. David Silva had already quickly reached the front, forming an arrow during the counterattack, but the ball was distributed to the left.
Gareth Bale strode forward with the ball along the left sideline.
Once the Welshman's speed picks up, even Ram can't stop him. If he is allowed to gallop all the way, Ram can only follow closely on the inside.
But when he rushed to the left side of the penalty area, Gareth Bale sent a long pass with his left foot.
The ball went from the left side of the penalty area, over the heads of David Silva and Tymoshchuk, and moved laterally to the right side of the penalty spot.
