Chapter 458 Unprecedented Seven Crowns!
Ji Ge has learned his lesson, but that does not mean that the wing he is guarding is safe.
The fact is, whether he or not Alaba on the other side is under increasing pressure.
The most important reason is that Chelsea scored!
The frustration of not being able to score for a long time was wiped away after the goal, and all the strength Chelsea had accumulated was released like a flood.
On the other hand, the game has entered the 70th minute, and Bayern's physical disadvantage has gradually become apparent, which also makes the players' support from the wings less active and effective.
Of course, there is a very good reason for this, which is the formation currently used by Bayern.
As coaches today know, the formation is arguably the most potentially overwhelming of all modern formations.
That's why many of European football's dominant teams in the league - such as Real Madrid and Barcelona - use it.
Those teams expect a win every week and they have enough offensive power to beat teams determined to walk away with a draw.
In possession, the formation allows at least seven players to attack, with the wingers pressing the wrong side of the defence, the full-backs behind them and the two midfielders pushing forward.
The characteristics of the formation are not the suffocating effect it brings. The three-man midfielder can control the ball through the passing triangle, and the three forwards can press high. In this way, the situation can be controlled, and then the defense of the wrong leg can be broken through.
But the question is, is Bayern currently at a disadvantage?
If you can't control the ball when attacking, that formation will be vulnerable to attack.
After all, the defense at that time basically relied on center backs and defensive midfielders, which also created a very dangerous situation. The wide players on the wrong side had enough space to break through.
The formation requires the wide players to have strong discipline. If the wide forwards cannot follow the defenders, the risk of exposure will be huge.
Including when the defender rushes to support the attack, he must have the energy to return to defense 90 minutes later.
If not, the wide players on the wrong side will be left alone.
Obviously, Bayern cannot have the current conditions.
So Chelsea took advantage of the momentum after the goal and the loopholes in Bayern's defense on both wings to attack fiercely.
In the 72nd minute, Chelsea made another threatening attack.
After Hazard got the ball on the left, he attracted the attention of the defense and passed it to Marcos Alonso who was inserted behind him.
After Marcos Alonso got the ball, he cut diagonally, rubbed the ball with his left foot, and accurately sent the ball outside the penalty area behind Bayern Munich's defense.
At that time, Lukaku used his speed to get rid of Xavi Martinez and stopped the ball first.
Before another central defender, Boateng, came to block the ball, Lukaku fired a volley.
That shot was from the same position as the previous shot, but Neuer had already taken precautions and blocked the ball with a side dive, defusing Chelsea's attack with little risk.
"There is a lot of noise in front of Bayern's goal right now. Chelsea's performance is getting smoother and smoother after the goal. It gives him the feeling that he will score again soon."
"Bayern's two wing defenses currently have quite a problem. Guardiola should probably consider pulling back the defense. After all, their current overall formation is a bit too tight. Will that lead to space behind both sides?"
A relatively big reason.”
"He believes Guardiola can also see that. No, he is already preparing to make substitutions. With defender Benatia and midfielder Thiago standing on the sidelines warming up, it can be seen whether Guardiola
I want to strengthen Yidong’s defense and increase my ability to control the ball..."
While the commentator was analyzing, Chelsea went on the offensive again.
That time, Lukaku suddenly moved to the right, used his speed to cross Alaba's defense zone, received a long pass that came to the B seat behind him, stopped the ball and took it along the right wing.
That doesn't stop him from being a professional winger, Lukaku!
At that time, Hazard and Harry Kane were following on the left and center respectively, forming a momentum of two arrows shooting straight at the Bayern Munich goal.
However, Lukaku's pass was saved by Boateng, who returned to defense in time, and the crisis was barely resolved.
"Boateng kicked the ball out and Bayern Munich launched a counterattack on the spot."
"They can see on the sidelines that Guardiola has called Benatia and Thiago who have returned from warm-up. It seems that he is planning to request substitutions after the dead ball."
"Bayern have now pushed the ball past the midfield line and it is Xavi Alonso who has the ball."
"But his move to get the ball was immediately tackled by Kante and David Luiz, and he lost the ball!"
"You're sorry, because Bayern just took the ball and counterattacked, Alaba and Kimmich on both sides rushed forward, and now they don't have time to return to defense!"
"Kante fell to the ground and made a beautiful shovel pass. He shoveled the ball, which was not completely under his control, directly to seat B on the right!"
"At that time, Harry Kane also moved to the right, attracting the attention of Alaba who quickly chased back, but Seat B did not pass the ball and instead accelerated towards the baseline."
"Now Marcos Alonso and Hazard on the other side, including Lukaku, are all in the middle and left of the penalty area. Let them see how the B seat will pass..."
"He did not pass the ball to the small penalty area, but made an inverted triangle and reached near the penalty kick. That area was unguarded...dangerous!"
"David Luiz rushed there without knowing when he was facing the ball, and he shot it with a furious kick!"
"The ball went in!!!!!!"
"David Luiz! Chelsea penetrated Bayern Munich's goal again."
"In less than ten minutes, Chelsea scored two goals in a row, and now they are two goals ahead!"
"At the critical moment, Bayern Munich's defense once again made a mistake. They had a defensive vacuum from the penalty spot to the front of the penalty area."
"After Chelsea blocked Bayern's counterattack, they counterattacked very quickly. Bayern Munich's defense made a marking error when switching."
"The inverted triangle pass from seat B was very calm. He seemed to know the situation outside the penalty area very well, and the pass was very beautiful and comfortable. David Luiz didn't even need to stop the ball, he just shot.
Just cum.”
"Being ahead by Chelsea by two goals in the 75th minute, it seems Bayern has little hope."
After Chelsea scored the second goal, the English fans made an astonishing noise in the stands of the San Siro Stadium. The momentum was as if they had lifted the roof of the stands of the San Siro Stadium.
The German fans remained silent.
They are really depressed.
The only person who was more depressed than the fans was Guardiola in front of the visiting team's coach's bench.
He had already arranged for a substitution, but it turned out that he was half a beat too late.
And that time when the goal was conceded, it was because Guardiola was already there and saw the loophole and wanted to make up for it.
Replacing Benatia, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of the back line, especially the protection from the front of the penalty area to the penalty spot after being broken through on the wing;
Replacing Thiago will strengthen the ball control in the midfield and avoid further losing control of the center.
Let’s look at the whole process of losing the ball. First, the ball was lost in the middle, then the ball was broken through on the wing, and finally, the defense in the middle was empty and the goal was easily scored...
If the player had been replaced earlier, it would have been possible to avoid conceding the ball.
But what can we say now?
Do you regret not making a decision earlier?
But where in that world can I take the regret medicine?
If Lukaku's first goal gave Bayern Munich a glimmer of hope;
So after David Luiz scored the second goal, Bayern Munich undoubtedly seemed to have sunk to the bottom and was difficult to save.
But Guardiola rejected Guardiola after all, and he did not give in so easily.
Now he made a decisive decision and immediately called Benatia and Thiago back to the bench.
That substitution is cancelled!
And he called two other people to prepare for the scene.
No Koeman and Douglas Costa that time!
Do you want to change the offensive players and fight with Chelsea?
Since the game has come to an end, there is no need to hold anything back.
You don’t lose even if you lose two, you don’t lose even if you lose three, and you don’t lose even if you lose four. It makes no difference in terms of a final.
——
Soon, Bayern completed the substitutions.
Thomas Muller and Xavi Martinweis were substituted, and Koeman and Douglas Costa came on as substitutes.
Bayern's formation also changed once again.
Alaba, Boateng, and Kimmich stood at the front to form three central defenders, and Xavi Alonso partnered with Vidal to play as a double midfielder;
In the frontcourt, Ribery, Robben, Koeman, Douglas Costa, and Lewandowski all fired five arrows!
That formation, if I say no, it's okay to -1, and there's nothing wrong with saying no. In short, it's all firepower!
Such substitutions and changes of formation show Guardiola's determination to break the boat!
This also lifted the spirits of the Bayern Munich players on the court and played with more energy.
