In this way, Bayern's midfielder can suddenly become five people, which can form a numerical advantage to suppress Chelsea's midfielder, and the defense is also denser, making it difficult for the opponent to break through.

But in this case, only Lewandowski is left on the offensive line, and constipation is inevitable.

Based on Pan Yi's understanding of Guardiola, he will definitely not do this, at least not at first.

When he is coaching, he is more insisting on his own football philosophy and his own ideas.

Defending is definitely not what Guardiola or Bayern Munich like. Even Bayern fans can't tolerate seeing a Bayern with an iron barrel formation!

So they would rather lose the game than press out.

Then, as the commentator said, this Champions League will unsurprisingly turn into an offensive battle.

What Pan Yi told the boys was to stabilize their position after the start and not rush to attack.

This is an opening strategy chosen from the perspective of "controlling unexpected variables".

If both sides start with a fierce attack, the defense will definitely be relatively empty when both sides are open and close.

In this way, as long as the offensive players on both sides with outstanding personal abilities perform well, it will not be a surprise for anyone to score.

In other words, it's a bit like luck.

As for Chelsea, who are superior in strength and condition, this is obviously not cost-effective.

Therefore, it should be a smarter way to stabilize the formation, withstand Bayern's wave of attacks first, and then make plans after dampening the opponent's energy!——

At this time, with the referee's whistle, the much-anticipated Champions League final finally kicked off.

Bayern Munich took the lead in winning the kick-off.

After Lewandowski kicked the ball to Thomas Muller from the kick-off spot, the latter passed the ball directly into the backcourt.

At the same time, the players in the frontcourt rushed forward quickly. Robben and Ribery on both sides were more like two sharp blades, heading directly towards Chelsea's goal.

The Blues also retreated quickly, especially the three central defenders who retreated directly to the front of the penalty area and immediately organized their defense.

Bayern's attack quickly crossed the halfway line.

Xavi Alonso took the ball and moved his kick to the left rib. Ribery received the ball and drove it towards the center.

Kanter followed closely to make up the position, but Ribery was very flexible and would break through Kanter's defense with just one movement.

Kanter extended his leg a little late, tripping Ribery to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.

This was the first foul of the game, and Bayern Munich got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

A set-piece opportunity was created less than a minute into the game. The Bayern Munich fans in the stands were extremely excited, and the song "Star of the South" suddenly rang over the San Siro Stadium.

At this time on the field, Ribery and Robben were standing on both sides of the penalty spot.

These two Bayern flying wings happen to have one right foot and one left foot, and can kick different free kicks.

However, the free kick was about 30 meters away from the goal, and it seemed unlikely that it would hit the goal directly. Therefore, Chelsea mainly defended Bayern Munich's tall players who entered the penalty area.

Unexpectedly, Ribery suddenly fired a fast curve ball with strong spin and went straight to the goal.

Courtois made a quick judgment and stretched out his hands to catch the ball.

But he didn't expect the ball to spin very strongly. Courtois couldn't hold on for a while and actually let go!

This sudden change caused a commotion in the entire penalty area, and there were even screams in the stands.

Lewandowski quickly followed up and missed the follow-up shot before everyone else, but Van Dijk flew to the ground and blocked Lewandowski's follow-up shot from the goal.

Only then did all the Chelsea fans in the San Siro Stadium exhale, and their tense nerves relaxed a little.

Courtois raised his hands toward his teammates apologetically, saying that the danger was caused by his own mistake. He seemed a little nervous.

Today, captain Azpilicueta, Kante, Van Dijk and other teammates on the field walked over to comfort him.

Pan Yi also clapped vigorously on the sidelines, encouraging everyone:

"Everyone is doing well, don't be anxious, take your time!"

This is the final, this is the Champions League final!

Even the most experienced players may have emotional fluctuations or make some low-level mistakes, let alone young players like Chelsea.

Courtois has always been regarded as a player with a "big heart", but he is only 24 years old this year, which is still very young for a goalkeeper.

What's more, the game has just begun, and sometimes the players' bodies are not fully relaxed, or they are a little tense mentally.

Therefore, encouragement is still needed at this time.

Pan Yi believes that these players under him can quickly adjust themselves and then quickly enter the game state.

Things like Karius's failure to recover from his mistakes probably won't happen...

At this time, Ribery had already run to the corner kick area.

But this time, when he took the corner kick, Courtois quickly rushed out of the goal, jumped high, and picked it out of the air before everyone else, without giving Bayern Munich any chance to threaten the goal.

The Belgian goalkeeper's attack also won him cheers from the audience.

Pan Yi also nodded slightly.

Courtois is like this, he will not be affected by his own mistakes, otherwise he will not become the most powerful contender for the "World No. 1" in the future.

The game continues.

Bayern Munich still does a good job both offensively and defensively.

Especially when Chelsea gets the ball, their four attacking midfielders and one center will fiercely press Chelsea in the frontcourt.

Chelsea started the game a little cautiously and focused on stability, so judging from the scene, it felt like they were being suppressed by Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga giant uses its pressing pressure and active running to make it difficult for Chelsea to spread the ball, and mistakes often occur after two or three passes.

This is also the result of some targeted deployments made by Guardiola to Chelsea.

Everyone knows that Chelsea's midfield and backfield are very skilled in passing and controlling, and the three central defenders have strong ball-playing abilities, so Guardiola arranged for Lewandowski and Muller, and Vidal to play against the three central defenders at the same time.

The pressing action allowed Robben and Ribery to position themselves further forward, pressing against Kante.

This kind of almost man-to-man zone pressing, coupled with the fact that Bayern Munich players were relatively energetic at the start, gave Chelsea a real headache. It was difficult for the ball to even reach the frontcourt, let alone pose a threat.

However, because Pan Yi had already warned about the difficulties that would be encountered after the start, Chelsea players were also mentally prepared for this.

They are very well-organized in defense. Once they lose the ball, they immediately form a rigorous defensive layer and will not give Bayern Munich a chance to truly threaten the goal.

It wasn't until the 8th minute that Bayern Munich got another shot.

It was Lewandowski again. The Polish striker's long shot from 30 meters away from the goal was slightly wide of the goal.

After the goal kick was taken, it was scored by a Bayern player.

Bayern Munich left back Alaba suddenly moved forward, and Ribery dribbled the ball towards Chelsea's right rib. After attracting the attention of defensive players such as Azpilicueta, he suddenly moved back to the left.

Without thinking, Alaba made a pass with his left foot and sent the ball into the penalty area.

At this time, Robben quickly stepped in from behind, blocked David Luiz with his body, stopped the ball with his chest, and shot straight after landing.

The ball went straight to the goal with thunderous momentum.

As the fans in the audience screamed, Courtois once again made a wonderful flying save, blocking Robben's close shot from the bottom line. Bayern Munich once again won a corner kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

"Chelsea's defense was loose this time, and Courtois reacted very quickly. If he hadn't made a timely judgment, I'm afraid Robben's shot would have penetrated Chelsea's goal."

"It's ten minutes now and we see Bayern Munich continuing to put pressure on Chelsea."

"This will definitely surprise many people. Because no one would have thought that before the game, as the number one favorite to win the championship, and with the world's top coach Pan Yi sitting in, Chelsea would be suppressed by Bayern Munich at the beginning."

"Ten minutes into the game, Chelsea didn't even have a shot on goal. This is so surprising."

"Let's look at this corner kick from Bayern Munich."

"It was still Franck Ribery who took the penalty and sent it into the penalty area. Ake headed the ball to clear the ball, but the ball did not fly far."

"Xavi Alonso's long shot! It went slightly over the crossbar."

"Although we didn't score, these few attacks must have scared Chelsea fans into a cold sweat."

"Now Pan Yi should make strong adjustments as soon as possible to reverse the situation on the court."

"I wonder if he regrets touching the Big Ears trophy before the game?"

——

"As expected, Guardiola is really good at attacking."

Pan Yi stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back and paused leisurely.

Of course, he was not as nervous as the fans. After all, such a scene was expected by him, and it could even be said to be part of his plan.

"Bayern Munich's pressing style of play consumes a lot of physical energy, and I'm afraid it won't last long." Assistant coach Arteta on the side analyzed.

Many teams did this when they played Chelsea, so Arteta also saw it clearly.

But the question is, does Guardiola know what Arteta knows?

This is precisely because of Guardiola's confidence in his team and his tactics.

In the first ten minutes of the game, Guardiola's tactics were based on restraining Chelsea's passing and controlling, and then seizing the opportunity to counterattack.
