This personnel adjustment made by Ji Ya not only made reporters dodge, Guardiola was also dazzled by him.
He had been thinking about the power of Southampton's new tactics. He also sent out all the main players for this game, including goalkeeper Neuer, two full-backs, Rafinha and Alaba, Boateng and Dan.
Special partner in the center, Lahm as the defensive midfielder, in front of him are Muller and Kroos, with Robben and Ribery on the wings, and Mandzukic comes forward.
This is also a very weird lineup, but it is also a way for Guardiola to test the lineup. He came to Bayern just to see if there is a better way to improve his ball control tactics. There is no doubt about the strength of these Bayern players, otherwise
He would not have achieved such a brilliant record last season. He gave Barcelona a score of 7-0 in two rounds...
However, Noriya continued to let Vardy start, which really surprised him.
So his arrangements failed in many places.
After the game started, both sides quickly launched an attack each. Both sides preferred to control the ball in the midfield, pass, press, and confront...
However, under such circumstances, De Bruyne began to show his talent.
After taking the ball at the top of the arc, facing Muller who came up to press, De Bruyne made a beautiful turn to pull the ball and got rid of the German, and then dribbled the ball forward. When Kroos came up to defend, De Bruyne
Pretending to pass the ball, he pulled the ball past two people again, passing two people with ease!
"Gorgeous skills! De Bruyne showed his superb ball control and breakthrough abilities in the Bundesliga last season. He rarely showed such abilities after joining Southampton this season. However, he faced him in this game.
He performed well in a more familiar Bundesliga team!"
Amid the shouts of the commentator, De Bruyne, who had passed two people, continued to dribble the ball forward. Lahm came up to meet him. Facing this short Bayern short man, De Bruyne did not dare to neglect.
Although he is not tall, his defensive and blocking abilities are quite strong.
If you stay entangled with such people, you will soon be surrounded by others.
So De Bruyne immediately dribbled the ball laterally, and then quickly distributed the ball to the right!
Lukaku took the ball on the right, faced Alaba who came up to defend him, forced the ball towards the bottom line, and then accelerated the breakthrough!
Austrian Liu Xing is also a strong man. Although he is a full-back, he is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 78 kilograms. He will not be intimidated by any wide players.
However, Alaba never expected that he would face a winger who was 1.91 meters tall and weighed over 100 kilograms!
Small crew cut, beer belly, professional winger Lukaku!
After Lukaku received the ball, he made a strong burst from the wing. Alaba reacted, but when he turned around, he and Lukaku were stuck together. The 11-centimetre difference in height did not matter, and the weight exceeded
The tonnage of twenty kilograms immediately made Alaba unable to stand his position.
What's even worse is that Lukaku is faster than him...
He is eleven centimeters taller, weighs twenty-five kilograms more, and is faster than himself!
What kind of monster winger is this!
When Alaba was squeezed away by Lukaku, he could only roar in his heart.
Of course, Lukaku didn't know what Alaba was thinking at this time. He strode to catch up with the ball, and then without stopping the ball, he directly took off his right foot and passed the ball into the penalty area!
The speed of this pass is still very fast. After all, the opponent's two central defenders have excellent physical fitness. If it is slower and gets stuck by the opponent, it will be easy to clear the ball.
Southampton fans looked nervously at the penalty area. Vardy was the only attacker in the penalty area. Can he score under the attack of Dante and Boateng?
It's difficult, he couldn't score against Sunderland and Norwich...
Just when the Southampton fans were thinking this, Vardy in the penalty area first ran forward and attracted Dante. Then he made an emergency stop, followed by a big step back, and Dante was taken away.
Got thrown away!
At this time, Lukaku's pass flew over, just past Dante at the front point, and came to the center.
Vardy raised his right foot and seemed to be preparing to volley. As long as the shot from this distance hits the goal frame, no matter how good the goalkeeper is, he can only surrender!
Boateng flew over and was good at blocking the hole of the gun with his body.
And the timing of his rush was also very good. If Vardy volleyed, there was a high chance that Boateng would block it with his body.
However, the moment Vardy touched the ball, he dunked the ball directly!
Boateng, who had thrown his entire body out, could only slide past Vardy helplessly...
Vardy adjusted slightly and shot again!
Facing this close-range shot, Neuer only had time to wave his arm, and the ball had already flown into the door!
Vardy's first official goal in Southampton came under such highly anticipated circumstances!
After scoring the goal, Vardy still didn't believe it, which made him stay in the penalty area for a while. When he reacted and was about to run out to celebrate, Lukaku, who was closest to him, had already pounced on him and knocked him away.
Overturned to the ground, and then pushed himself up...
The weight of over 100 kilograms immediately made Vardy scream.
Other players also rushed forward and started celebrating wildly!
De Bruyne's midfield breakthrough, Lukaku's strong breakthrough from the wing, and Vardy's astute shot in the penalty area gave Southampton the opening goal in the eighth minute!
This is indeed an extremely wonderful goal.
Especially the weird sense of dislocation between the center and the winger. Everyone who watched this ball agreed that Bayern conceded the ball unfairly...
Under such circumstances, not conceding the ball is a joke!
Guardiola shook his head. This attack was an eye-opener for him. How did Noriya think of letting a guy who looked like a center to play as a winger? And in the winger position, Lukaku's characteristics are really
can be put into good use.
Of course he is not a serious winger, but he can fully play the role of a winger on the court, and then go to the center to score from time to time. Only in this way can Lukaku's characteristics be fully brought out.
From this perspective, Kiya's use of Lukaku is really clever.
As for Vardy who scored the goal, everyone was just surprised, but not particularly surprised. The goal was very beautiful, but he was given enough space in the penalty area at the time. Otherwise, Vardy would have been a little bit disappointed to score the goal.
