When he heard Van Bitten talk about letting him defend Zhen Shaolong, the alarm bell in Ram's heart was immediately full.

Really!

Van Bitten began to tout that he wanted to use words like 'you're a genius' to confuse his senses in order to get him to agree to defend.

Ram sneered in his heart, 'To defend Zhen Shaolong? How can it be! Lusimar made it clear when he left, I got his advice, and I won't be fooled easily! ’

Rahm still remembers how he felt when he defended Zhen Shaolong, who was considered 'one of the worst performers' by the media.

Van Bitten obviously wants to 'frame' him, he is indeed a genius in Bayern's defensive line, and he is indeed one of the pillars of the defense, otherwise he would not have become Bayern's vice-captain.

But......

He, Philip Ram, definitely doesn't fall twice in the same position.

Unless one day he becomes the captain of Bayern and has to shoulder the responsibility, he will be forced to do it.

It's just that when the time comes, he has other methods, such as using the identity of the captain to assign others to defend.

"Yes."

"That's it!"

Ram thought ahead of the future solution.

Van Bitten didn't expect Lahm to refuse directly, but Rahm refused for a good reason, Lahm is indeed not a central defender, Bayern's side still needs Lam, in addition, Rahm to defend Zhen Shaolong, he may have to change positions to the side, but he is a tall air defense defender, and it is difficult to make a difference on the side.

"Forget it!"

Van Bitten shook his head and turned to Demichelis, "Martin, it's better for you to defend him closely, I feel like I can't defend him." ”

Demichelis thought about it, but agreed to it.

They are all centre-backs.

After Fan Biteng was shaken away, he also had to make up for the defense, and he must be inseparable from Zhen Shaolong, so it was better to mark it directly, and in the face of Zhen Shaolong, whose technical strength was quite amazing, Fan Biteng's movements were not flexible, and it was indeed difficult to keep an eye on them one-on-one.

"Mr. van Gaal made a mistake." Demichelis thought, "He thinks Daniel has a huge physical advantage, and it will be very advantageous to defend Zhen Shaolong closely, but he underestimates the opponent's flexible skills at his feet. ”

"So you still want me to ......"

Sidelines.

Van Gaal was thinking about the same thing, and he found that he did underestimate Zhen Shaolong's footwork and let Van Bitten defend because of his physical advantage.

In the last game, Van Bitten did a very good job, he carried out close defense alone, with Demichelis and Van Bommel to make up the defense, and successfully limited Zhen Shaolong, but he found that he still underestimated Zhen Shaolong's technical ability to show in good condition, and the opponent showed a very flexible foot technique, amazing delicacy, and dexterous control of football, so that Van Bitten's physical advantage became an ornament, and the physical advantage was greatly weakened, and the opponent could not make an effective response when he got the ball.

So the switch between Demichelis and Van Bitten was the right temporary decision.

However, it is not enough.

Van Gaal looked at the situation on the field, recalled Zhen Shaolong's continuous breakthroughs and ball control, and suddenly flashed flexibly in his mind, and immediately called Van Bommel when he was free, and told him very seriously, "When you return to the field in a while, you don't go to close pressing, just affect him one or two meters away, and don't give him a chance to break through." ”

"In this way, no matter how delicate his feet are, no matter how strong his ball control ability is, it is useless."

"You should know how to do it!"

Van Bommel is a very experienced player, so he naturally understands what Van Gaal means, what he needs to do is to 'surround the opponent', as long as the distance is opened, the opponent will not have a chance to break through directly, and no matter how good the technique is at his feet, it is useless.

When Van Bommel returned to the field, Van Gaal watched the game and thought again, he did not make adjustments because of the score, because the opponent's goal was too fast, and now Bayern no longer has any score advantage.

It seems that adjustments should be made at this point, but in reality, the best thing Bayern can do is to stick to the tactics they have and play well.

If you take the initiative to make adjustments, whether it is defensive or offensive response, it will affect the mentality of the whole team, and it may affect the state and performance of the players.

So Bayern can't be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

Other than that.

In fact, Bayern on the field is not at a disadvantage, in terms of situation, Bayern's possession is not less than Real Madrid, the number of attacks is not less than Real Madrid, and even there are many opportunities in front of the goal, but there is just a lack of goals.

Bayern, just a little luck!

————

Van Gaal's defensive strategy seems to have worked very well.

In the remaining ten minutes of the first half, Zhen Shaolong got the ball and did not succeed in breaking through, and his form seemed to have been affected, with two interceptions in possession, and two long-range shots that only created a little threat.

These two long-range shots were overlooked.

"It was Zhen Shaolong's last resort, so he chose to shoot, but he kicked very accurately, but he was good at shooting!"

That's how Van Gaal understands it.

He felt that he had made Van Bommel "besiege but not attack" very successful, Zhen Shaolong's breakthrough threat was obviously smaller, and the defense had also seen results, ten minutes was not much, but for a player like Zhen Shaolong, a few times to get the ball was enough to see something.

Van Gaal was even a little complacent, "Everyone said that Zhen Shaolong couldn't be completely restricted, but they didn't find the right way." ”

"Siege but not attack, is the best way, let the defender not be close, do not give him the opportunity to show his skills, he has no way to break through, can only pass, or simply shoot, continue to move forward will be stealed!"

The more Van Gaal thought about it, the more smug he became, and on the way back to the dressing room, he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, and even waved hello when he saw reporters from afar.

This surprised the journalists.

Everyone knows that Van Gaal doesn't like reporters, and a large part of the reason why Van Gaal's failure to coach Barcelona was due to the conflict with reporters, he didn't accept interviews at all, and even refused to attend the post-match press conference, which fell into a war with the media, and even the Barcelona club management was very dissatisfied with him, because the senior management thought that Van Gaal had damaged Barcelona's image and made Barcelona lose the opportunity to promote.

Right now......

Van Gaal actually said hello from afar? It must not be us who he greeted! Right?

The reporters looked left and right, but they didn't find anyone else, so they could only put their doubts in their hearts.

At half-time, public opinion was not as optimistic as Van Gaal.

Bayern's follow-up defense of Zhen Shaolong was very successful, but it was only a dozen minutes, and based on the situation of 45 minutes, Zhen Shaolong scored two goals individually, which can be said to help Real Madrid tie the gap.

Real Madrid can beat Bayern Munich with one more goal.

Similarly, Bayern can beat Real Madrid with another goal.

Of course.

Real Madrid still have a certain disadvantage, they will lose to Bayern Munich if they don't score, but compared to being two goals behind at the beginning, Real Madrid's score situation is much better.

This has to worry for Bayern.

When many media reports on the midfield, they talk about 'the situation is in favor of Real Madrid', 'Real Madrid have caught up with two goals and are likely to score in the second half', 'Bayern Munich can't defend passively if they want to eliminate Real Madrid, because it is difficult for them not to let Real Madrid score', etc.

Beckenbauer was also one of the concerners, sitting in the VIP box with Hoeness, the chairman of Bayern's supervisory board.

Beckenbauer is the honorary president of Bayern Munich, and he doesn't have any direct rights, but he has a lot of influence on the club, and some things can even affect decision-making, mainly because he has a good relationship with the club's top management.

Hoeness is a friend of Beckenbauer's, and they have a good personal relationship, and the two watch important games together when Bayern Munich encounters them.

Hoeness is the 'chairman of the supervisory board' of Bayern, and fans have the impression of him as a 'businessman' and an 'executive', but in fact, Hoeness, like Beckenbauer, is also a professional player, and he was still a famous star when he was young.

Hoeness joined Bayern Munich at the age of 18 and played until his retirement at the age of 27, scoring a total of 66 goals for Bayern, which is already a good statistic for a player who has spent most of his time in midfield.

Due to the general lack of medical skills in the 70s, Hoeness's injury at the age of 27 made him reluctant to retire, and in that era of lack of medical technology, many players retired at the golden age because of some injuries that are not seen in the eyes now.

With such a brilliant professional football experience, Hoeness is naturally very knowledgeable about the game, and he can work with Beckenbauer to make a high-level assessment of the game.

It's the same now.

Thinking about the past first half, Hoeness said to Beckenbauer, "Bayern's form is not very good!" ”

'It's a normal game where they score two goals, two more in the second half and then come back and beat them because they're the one behind them. History always moves like that, although I don't want to see it. ”

Hoeness said it very easily, but his expression was very helpless, of course he hoped that Bayern would win, but historical experience told him that Bayern had little hope of winning.

Beckenbauer frowned and said, "Don't say that, you have to have confidence (in Bayern Munich now), we can do it, Thomas is a very good goalscorer, whenever I watch his games, I can think of Gerd Muller." ”

"Okay. Hope you're right. ”

Hoeness nodded.

Beckenbauer said that he was optimistic about Bayern and saw Thomas Muller's performance, but in fact, Hoeness's words made him even more worried about the game. Usually when he watches a game with Hoeness, Hoeness will always make some objective comments, rather than subjectively supporting Bayern unconditionally.

Beckenbauer always said good things about Bayern, even if the team was very passive.

This may allow the two to have something to talk about, rather than one talking and nodding their heads, and there is a reason why they can be friends.

What Beckenbauer didn't know was that his concerns had a direct impact on the game.

Away dressing room.

Most of the Real Madrid players' expressions were solemn, but the overall appearance was a lot more relaxed, because they caught up with two goals, almost standing on the same running line as Bayern, and leading the opponent at halftime also improved a lot of morale, and the atmosphere naturally became much better, and they were also very confident in winning, because Zhen Shaolong performed very well, and Real Madrid's overall performance was not bad, and Bayern should have great hopes.

Of course.

There was still half a game to play, a goal to be scored and most of the players were feeling the pressure.

Pellegrini was explaining the situation in the first half, because Zhen Shaolong performed very well, after he emphasized the defense, he began to talk about the overall attack, especially emphasizing the need to pass the ball more to Zhen Shaolong, and even C-Ronaldo was also penalized, asking for more passes to the right side.

Who's on the right?

Needless to say?

C-Ronaldo feels that he is treated differently, he and Zhen Shaolong are both forwards, but when they come to the field, the right to fire and the importance are completely different.

"Alas......"

C-Ronaldo can only sigh.

The other side.

Zhen Shaolong didn't listen to a few words of explanation, he rested for a while, looked at the time, turned on the system, and glanced at the attribute data added by the temporary task--

Temporary spherical boost: 11.

Temporary shot power increase: 36%.

Temporary shot correction range: 15 degrees.

Zhen Shaolong couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the data, "It seems that the style is going to change." ”

"It's a pity that I have a sense of the ball, then again, Beckenbauer is really worried about Bayern, he is such a good honorary president!"

"What a man!"
