Chapter 220: Temptation

Of course, Guardiola will not think that the smoke bomb of Robben's injury can overwhelm Atletico Madrid, whose tactical play is already very mature, in fact, this smoke bomb released by Guardiola and his team is a topic of hype by the local media in Munich, but because Bayern Munich has been training in closed training recently, it has also blinded a lot of people.

Robben is actually good!

And during this time, Bayern Munich's main attack point has also been on Robben's side, and Robben has been very active from the beginning of the game.

Playing away from home and still the leading side themselves, Bayern Munich did not press aggressively, but their opponents Atletico Madrid were different.

Atletico Madrid's high-level pressing defense has always been the team's characteristics, after Li Qingshan came to the team, Atletico Madrid gradually no longer only counterattacked as the main offensive means - with the presence of Li Qingshan, the control of the front court is guaranteed, so Atletico Madrid can also press the overall formation and play positional attack.

Thanks to their consistent high-post defensive strategy, after unsuccessful positional attacks, Atletico Madrid often launched counter-attacks on the spot to snatch the ball back, so the current Atletico Madrid is significantly different from Atletico Madrid a season or two ago.

And Pep Guardiola naturally understands this, so Robben's role in this game is very important, because Peter Pan's speed can make full use of the space behind the Atletico Madrid formation.

However, Atletico Madrid's side naturally knows Robben's strength, so it is naturally a key focus on Robben, so Bayern Munich's tactics of directly hitting behind him several times after the opening did not succeed, but Atletico Madrid gradually took control of the game, and the overall formation pressed and pressed Bayern Munich back.

Bayern Munich, who is playing away, can't attack, so it will naturally have to accept the postgraduate examination of defense.

Pep Guardiola's brow has not been relaxed since the start of the game, because everyone knows how many opportunities their striker Li Qingshan will get if they let Atletico Madrid press the attack!

The most feared players on the football pitch are the players who are a blast in their own right, their ability to take chances is top-notch, and they can also attract a lot of defence and create space for other players.

Although Li Qingshan and Messi's styles are completely different, in Guardiola's heart, he has to raise Li Qingshan's danger level to Messi's level.

When defending, he must arrange two players to follow Li Qingshan inch by inch. And if Li Qingshan is just a center forward standing in the penalty area waiting for a pass, it is okay, the defenders only need to stand in position, and the team's overall defensive formation can remain intact.

However, Li Qingshan's current range of activities is still very large, and he is not a center forward who stays in the penalty area with peace of mind, which makes Bayern Munich a headache for defense.

However, Atletico Madrid did not immediately attack in the first ten minutes of the game, they were more in the midfield to slowly test Bayern Munich's defense, after all, the current aggregate score is very delicate for both sides.

Li Qingshan frequently ran out to respond, participated in the team's offensive organization, and was followed by Bayern's midfielder Javi Martinez.

The Spanish midfielder was brought in from Athletic Bilbao by Bayern Munich for 40 million euros, and his 40 million is worth more than 33 million euros in the Bundesliga set by Mario Gomez in 2009.

Traditionally, Javi Martinez plays in the position of defensive midfielder, he is very strong, Javi Martinez's physical fitness is simply an outlier among Spanish players, 190 cm tall, 86 kg weight, such a muscular player is still an all-round midfielder with outstanding consciousness and the ability to drag back the organization.

However, in this game, Guardiola sent Xavi Martinez to play, obviously wanting to use Xavi Martinez's physical fitness and defensive awareness to focus on Li Qingshan when defending.

In addition to Javi Martinez, there is also the pre-released central defender Benatia, who is also closely following.

This is the standard configuration for defending Li Qingshan, one player is responsible for close-up, and one player is responsible for waiting for the opportunity to grab the ball at Li Qingshan's feet. Now there are very few defenders trying to grab the landing point of the high ball with Li Qingshan - they can't grab it anyway, it is better to wait for Li Qingshan to stop the ball and grab the ball at his feet.

As it is now, Atletico Madrid kicked the ball directly from the back to the front, without even the excesses of midfield. Li Qingshan licked his chest and gently stopped the ball at his feet.

Javi Martinez saw the opportunity and collided directly with his body, trying to hit Li Qingshan with an unstable footing.

After Li Qingshan got the ball, he was not in a hurry to pass it, but protected the ball at his feet.

Javi Martinez's active collision did cause him a little trouble, but it was limited to that, after Li Qingshan stood on the ground with both feet, no matter how hard Javi Martinez tried, it was difficult to shake Li Qingshan.

Benatia, who was watching from the sidelines, saw that Li Qingshan was busy fighting against Javi Martinez, and thought that his opportunity had come, so he quickly stepped forward and stretched out a kick, trying to poke the ball away from Li Qingshan's feet.

However, Li Qingshan did not put all his energy on the physical confrontation with Javi Martinez, he had already prepared for the surrounding situation, Benatia stretched out a kick just a pounce, after Benatia grabbed it, Li Qingshan looked at the gap behind him, pressed Javi Martinez behind him, knocked the right heel and passed the ball behind him.

"Griezmann!!!"

Due to Benatia's reckless steal, one of Bayern Munich's central defenders is now out of position, so Griezmann got the ball and went into the penalty area, and left wing-back Bertena hurriedly recovered it to fill the left central defender's position.

Griezmann, who entered the penalty area, was like a fish in water, with skillful foot skills and flexible body, he cut past Bertner and Boateng in the Bayern Munich penalty area in succession, found space to shoot and then shot with his left foot!

Unfortunately, the shot was saved by Neuer.

Fifteen minutes into the game, it was Atletico Madrid's best chance, while Bayern Munich's attack was sparse, and the only few counter-attacks were like scratching the itch in their boots, and there was no real threat to Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid's attack, which was playing at home, gradually began to strengthen after more than ten minutes of testing. [.]
