Being behind in the score did not panic the Bayern players. They are all very experienced players, and they are also mentally prepared for this backward situation - you must know that they all have a lot of honors, including the Bundesliga championship.
, Champions League winner...
So after Atletico Madrid's celebration ended, they started to attack, intending to get the score back. They were not worried that they could not score because they had many good offensive players.
However, Hitzfield has already frowned on the sidelines. As a coach, he can always see more clearly than the players on the field. Now Bayern's offense can have some effects and can gain some advantages on the wing, but
After attacking, their backcourt gap will appear to be very large. With the characteristics of several central defenders, their backcourt gap will be amplified even larger!
What should we do now? Continue to press the offense? What should Atletico Madrid do if they continue to beat us with quick counterattacks? Recover the defense? We are already one goal behind, and the young head coach doesn't mind killing the rest of the time!
If the previous head coaches had to eat very elegantly for honors and championships, and also paid attention to a beautiful victory and image, but the young man Dick doesn't seem to care about this at all, as he proved in the UEFA Cup last season.
In this regard, he won the two games against Parma in the safest way. In the game against Roma, after winning a big score at home, he started to defend the away game. In the end,
The defense resulted in a draw—the eating was too ugly!
Many head coaches feel that this approach is wrong - just like in the Young and Dangerous movie, those old Young and Dangerous young people angrily said that today's young people are not loyal and do not pay homage to their second brother. They only care about money.
They were unhappy, they felt sad, they thought that the general would not be the country...but Dick didn't care about this approach. He knew that only by winning the championship could he be qualified to leave his name in history!
In fact, there have been such extremely conservative head coaches before. For example, Cooper is a good example. However, Cooper did not win a championship, but Dick has already won two heavyweight championships. There is a lesson from this experience.
, Heathfield really believed that he would be very satisfied with the result of a small victory by one goal.
So he just watched from the sidelines, hoping that the team's offense could go more smoothly, and at the same time lamenting the country's unscrupulous generals - if Effenberg, Sauer and Jeremys were not injured, then Bayern would not be where it is now.
That's a good way of playing, at least you don't need two full-backs to insert too deep to gain an advantage on the wing!
Bayern's offense began to constantly look for opportunities, while Atletico Madrid defended steadily, ready to counterattack at any time - and they did not have too many concerns in defense. Effenberg was not here, and Basler had already left.
, Sauer is injured, and Bayern currently lacks good players at set pieces, so they also appear to be quite tough in defense.
Two minutes after Atletico Madrid scored, Hector brought down Salihamidzic on the wing. Bayern got a free kick. Sforza passed the ball into the penalty area and was interfered by Thuram.
, although Thiam grabbed the first point, he hit it high and to the side.
The next game seemed dull. Under Atletico Madrid's defense, Bayern failed to create too many opportunities. Bayern also began to pay more attention to Atletico Madrid's counterattack. They would rather pass the ball to Atletico Madrid when attacking.
Any chance of counterattack, the scene started to become dull.
Vicente completed a counterattack through a breakthrough. This time, under the defense of Kovac and Hargreaves, he could only barely break through and then shot. Kahn easily got the ball, and Bayern quickly launched
In the counterattack, Sforza passed the ball from the center to Sagnol who stepped in to assist. Sagnol took the ball and forced a pass, and then passed the ball into the penalty area under Capdevila's defense.
, Elber jumped in front of Thuram and hit the goal, and the ball slightly missed the far post.
"Well, there seems to be a problem with air defense..." Dick thought in his heart. After all, the cooperation between Stam and Thuram is not tacit enough. They have never played together, and Bayern's
The offensive ability from the wing is also quite outstanding. If we continue to play like this, relying only on defense seems to be impossible to maintain this goal lead.
"We still need to make a fuss about counterattack..."
Dick's eyes swept across the frontcourt, where Atletico Madrid's frontcourt trident was constantly cruising, waiting for opportunities to counterattack - although at this time only one of Bayern's two wide players would always go forward.
Attack, however, is not without opportunities.
Dick stood up and then made a gesture of returning to the court. Atletico Madrid began to strengthen the defense of high-altitude balls in the penalty area. No matter how Bayern's forwards moved in the penalty area, they only guarded a few key points.
Without wavering, Bayern's several consecutive crosses from both wings were accurately judged by Stam and pushed out one by one - Stam's strength in this aspect is still extremely outstanding!
After Stam made another header to clear the ball, Dick raised his thumb to the court and then sat back in his seat with a satisfied look. After seeing this scene in the broadcast footage, some people
The commentator sighed: "Dick is indeed a coach who pays great attention to defense... Stam's joining has once again set a new record for Atletico Madrid's single signing, and from now on, this money is spent very much.
It's worth it. Atletico Madrid's defense was already very good last season. It was the key to them winning the league championship and the UEFA Cup. However, Atletico Madrid seems to be a little worse when it comes to defending high-altitude balls. Now that Stam has joined
There is no doubt that this flaw has been made up for. Although the cooperation between him and Thuram is not tacit enough, for players who have only played four games together, this performance is good enough. As time goes by,
As time goes by, Stam's performance will only get better and better. It is almost impossible for such a superstar, especially a defensive player, to experience a sudden decline in form. This season's Atletico Madrid has set off its own wave in the Champions League. It seems that
There will be no more objections.
Seeing that Dick seemed to sit back with peace of mind, Heathfield frowned, and then looked down at the time - it was almost forty minutes into the first half. If he stepped up his attack to equalize the score at this time, it seemed that the second half would still be over.
That's a dozen...
So Heathfield stood up and made a sign of attacking.
At the same time as he stood up, Dick also stood up and also made a pressing gesture towards the court!
When Bayern's players began to organize an attack in the frontcourt, Atletico Madrid began to press forward. When they saw that Atletico Madrid no longer retreated to defend in the penalty area, Bayern's players felt that this was their opportunity to attack.
, however, soon they began to feel the tremendous pressure that Atletico Madrid put on them after they came out!
Bayern's midfielder wanted to pass the ball to the forwards, allowing three forwards with good speed and skills to break through Atletico Madrid's defense, which had begun to become a little loose. However, they soon discovered that in Atletico Madrid's midfielder's pressing
Next, they had no way to do this. When they were forced to pass the ball to the wing, Atletico Madrid had already expanded its pressing area to the wing!
After Sagnol received the ball, he was immediately pressed by Vicente who was returning to defense. At the same time, Baraja also pressed from one side. Seeing that Pizarro in front of him was also being marked by Capdevila, in the middle
The two midfielders were under pressure from Makelele and Belleron. In desperation, Sagnol could only choose to pass back. However, the ball had just flown halfway when Belleron raised his foot to pass the ball in the middle.
It stopped midway!
Seeing Belleron steal the ball in the middle, Bayern's midfielder immediately started to press Belleron, and on the other hand, he quickly started to defend for fear of Atletico Madrid's fast break. However, Belleron was not in a hurry to launch an attack.
He pulled the ball and turned around to get rid of Sforza who came up to press him, and then passed the ball safely to Baraja. Baraja and Hector passed the ball back and forth before passing the ball back to Bei again.
Lairon's feet.
"Atletico Madrid has shifted into a positional battle... It seems that Bayern has become very wary of Atletico Madrid's counterattack after scoring a goal on Atletico Madrid's counterattack!"
During the commentator's explanation, Atletico Madrid's players gradually pushed the ball into the midfield, and Bayern started pressing in their own half. However, under Belleron's organization, Atletico Madrid was not disrupted by the opponent's pressing.
The position was lost - of course this has a lot to do with Bayern's reduced midfield control.
Under Atletico Madrid's back and forth passing, Sforza could only interfere with Atletico Madrid's pass. Although Hargreaves could run, he could not move his position too far forward, because if he moved forward
If so, there will be no protective force at the front of the penalty area...
Heathfield's three-four-three lineup is far inferior to the three-five-two lineup three years ago in terms of midfield pressure, especially in the middle - but Heathfield can't help it. This is also a coincidence.
It's hard to make a meal without rice. Although there are many people in the midfield, if three main players are injured in one go, even Bayern will be quite embarrassed in terms of personnel scheduling.
Belleron passed the ball to Baraja and then ran to the wing. His running attracted the attention of Bayern defenders. However, Baraja did not pass the ball to Belleron.
The ball was passed to Jorgensen who inserted from the side to the center.
Jorgensen picked up the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and Hargreaves pressed forward. He seemed to be forced to lose his footing by Hargreaves, and could only choose to turn around to protect the ball. At the moment of turning around, he raised his foot.
The ball was distributed to the wing and handed to Belleron who was holding the ball on the wing!
Lizarazu and Link began to press towards Belleron. Bayern's defensive focus once again shifted from the center to the wing, but Belleron raised his foot at the moment of receiving the ball and handed the ball to the center again!
After Jorgensen attracted Hargreaves out, a small gap appeared at the front of Bayern's penalty area. Belleron seized this opportunity to pass the ball over, and Jardel received the ball at the front of the penalty area!
Thiam immediately pounced on him. Jardel's turn and volley from this place was also quite threatening. He pressed forward immediately, intending to use his body to block Jardel, but he ignored one thing - Jardel
Del is a Brazilian player. Although his foot skills are not particularly good, facing Thiam who rushed over hastily and quite fiercely, Jardel was still very confident in rushing past him...
When Thiam was about to get close to Jardel, Jardel quickly dunked the ball and then rushed past him!
Atletico Madrid fans in the stands simultaneously let out cheers of surprise!
