Chapter 65: The Gap
Chapter 65: The Gap
Li Qingshan!! Header!!! Duan Xuan shouted excitedly, "In the face of Van Bitten's defense, Li Qingshan completed the escape, but unfortunately his last header was not borrowed and was picked up by Neuer!" ”
"Less than a minute after the game started, Guangzhou Evergrande completed the first shot on goal!" Xu Yang said, "This may be a good sign, before the game started, I was worried that Li Qingshan might suffer a lot when he met a central defender like Van Bitten, but judging from the confrontation just now, it was the young Li Qingshan who had the upper hand!" ”
"That's right, we saw that even Bayern's head coach Pep Guardiola was standing on the sidelines at this time!" Duan Xuan said after seeing the TV camera screen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Guardiola did feel very surprised, he glanced at Li Qingshan, who was running back with his head in annoyance, and then looked at Fan Bitten, judging from the body shape, Li Qingshan was obviously smaller than Fan Bitten, but when they were just competing for strength, the two of them actually fought evenly matched, and Li Qingshan was not only good in strength, but he was more flexible than Fan Bitten, and his bounce looked good, so he was able to win the confrontation with Van Biteng just now.
I don't know where such a monster-like body came from.
Guardiola, who is so high that he doesn't know where to go, can't help but mutter.
Fortunately, after this goal, the situation on the field was completely controlled by Bayern, and Guardiola watched from the sidelines for a minute or two before returning to the dugout.
After Pep Guardiola took over as Bayern Munich's manager, he began to transplant the same ball-possession tactics that he had enjoyed great success at Barcelona to Bayern.
At present, it seems that the effect is not bad, and Bayern also has a group of high-level players who are not inferior to Barcelona, and they constantly control the rhythm of the field through a passing on the field.
Their pass started from the goalkeeper position, Neuer passed to Boateng, Boateng passed to Raphinha, Raphinha did not choose to dribble the ball when he was pressed by Guangzhou Evergrande's players, but continued to pass back to Boateng.
Li Qingshan stepped forward to press, Boateng did not launch a long pass, but passed to Lahm on the other side, Lahm did not stop the ball after receiving the ball, and passed directly to Thiago with a kick, Thiago and Kroos exchanged a few passes and then took the ball through the center circle. Kroos split the side to Ribery, Mandzukic retreated to receive the ball, and after passing to Gotze on the other side, Gotze received the ball and passed directly to the edge of the penalty area, Kroos followed up with a kick to force Zeng Cheng to make a save.
Bayern's attack completely played out what Guardiola brought, they created opportunities through non-stop passing, constantly interspersed, in the process, Guangzhou Evergrande players could only be exhausted, not even touching the ball once,
It seems that Bayern's control is completely beyond the ability of Guangzhou Evergrande.
Zeng Cheng held the ball in his arms, and the big foot ball drove to the front, this time Li Qingshan still won the one-on-one with Van Bitten, but this time Boateng, who assisted in the defense in the back, was very alert, and stepped forward to break the robbery the moment Li Qingshan stopped the ball, and successfully snatched the ball at Li Qingshan's feet.
In this kind of competition of foot skills, Li Qingshan can't compete with Boateng.
Khamenez went on to write in the notebook: The technique under the feet is very rough.
Bayern continued to organise the attack after grabbing the ball.
Guangzhou Evergrande's defense in the midfield could not withstand Bayern Munich's fast pass in the midfield, and in the entire midfield competition, Guangzhou Evergrande was far from Bayern Munich's opponent. Therefore, Bayern always easily penetrated the defense line arranged by Guangzhou Evergrande in the midfield during this period and hit the ball to the back line.
Lippi stood on the sidelines with a frown, and the tactics used by Bayern were almost a copy of Barcelona. He glanced at Pep Guardiola, who was sitting in the coach's seat with his legs crossed. I couldn't help but secretly admire this young Spaniard.
In a short period of time after accepting the team, Bayern Munich, a German team that is good at physical confrontation and has a direct and tough style of play, can become the current team with delicate transmission and superb ball control.
Of course, Lippi knows that there are also reasons for Guangzhou Evergrande's own strength, in fact, in the Bundesliga, Bayern's possession tactics are far from being as leisurely as they are now.
Lippi certainly saw the dilemma his team was facing, and his original idea was to start arranging the defence in midfield. However, he did underestimate the control of Bayern Munich's midfield, so much so that the team is now passive.
He quickly made adjustments and made a gesture on the sidelines, signaling that Guangzhou Evergrande's overall formation was retreating a little and the distance between the three lines was tighter.
In the face of the difference in strength, even Lippi had no better way to deal with it, and he commanded the team to honestly set up a bus strategy.
Now the team's offense can only rely on some sporadic counterattack opportunities, but fortunately, Li Qingshan's attack in the opening stage still gave Lippi a certain amount of confidence.
After Guangzhou Evergrande made adjustments, although Bayern had easier control of the ball in the midfield, they did not have a good way to face the bus set by Guangzhou Evergrande for a while.
Breaking down dense defence is a world-class problem, and it is no surprise to Bayern. Generally speaking, the means of breaking the bus are nothing more than relying on conventional means such as long-range shots and creating set-pieces.
But for Pep Guardiola's side, they still stuck to their pass-and-control tactics when facing the big bus team. Find gaps by passing the ball non-stop.
After Guateola came to Bayern, he began to try to push Lahm from the defender to the midfield position, so now in Bayern's 433 formation, the three midfielders in the middle are Lahm, Kroos, and Thiago. The characteristics of these three are of course different from the midfield combination of Butskec, Iniesta and Xavi when Guardiola was at Barcelona.
However, Pep Guardiola insisted that the midfield of such a trio replicate his style and tactics at Barcelona, and the effect was certainly not as good as it was at Barcelona. This has also drawn a lot of criticism from the German media.
Many Germans are criticising Pep Guardiola for not being flexible and not adapting his tactics to the characteristics of his players. Some Germans are even more unkind, and they have directly attacked Pep Guardiola for destroying the tradition of German football.
As the hegemon of the Bundesliga, Bayern's players form the backbone of the German national team, and to a large extent, Bayern Munich's tactical style will affect the technical and tactical style of the German national team.
The traditional German team has the impression that the German tank plays directly and quickly, without dragging the mud at all, like a sharp saber. And now, the sabers are playing embroidery at Bayern, and it is no wonder that many German media are unhappy with Guardiola.
But although Pep Guardiola is not as sharp as Mourinho, he is still a very stubborn and even stubborn person in his bones, and he regards Barcelona's football philosophy as a guide, even a belief! He won't change his football philosophy easily.
Just like now, Bayern used skillful ball control to beat Guangzhou Evergrande's bus formation, and their passes outside the penalty area were all one-foot passes, and the speed of the pass became faster and faster, making it more and more difficult for Guangzhou Evergrande to adapt to the movement of the formation.
Under such a pull, even the bus will be torn apart one by one.
Sure enough, in the twentieth minute of the game, Lahm passed the ball to Mandzukic who was coming back, and Mandzukic handed the ball directly to Ribery, who cut inside.
Ribery shot directly on the left side of the penalty area without stopping the ball, the football hit Zhang Linpeng's foot and bounced back, Ribery followed up with another kick, this time, Zeng Cheng made a save, but was still pierced by Ribery's low shot from close range!
"Bayern Munich scored a goal through Ribery's two shots in a row. Guangzhou Evergrande fell behind in the twentieth minute of the game! Duan Xuan said with some regret.
"Judging from these 20 minutes, the two sides are indeed not on the same level, the initiative of the game is firmly in the hands of Bayern, and Guangzhou Evergrande is helpless in the face of Bayern's attack." Xu Yang said, "But losing to a team like Bayern is nothing, at least Guangzhou Evergrande got this opportunity to play against Bayern, you can see how big the gap between the dominant team of the Chinese Super League is in the face of the top European giants." That's not a bad thing. ”
Even though the game has only passed 20 minutes and Guangzhou Evergrande is only one goal behind, Xu Yang has already begun to pave the way for Guangzhou Evergrande's defeat in advance.
It is indeed the same, Guangzhou Evergrande just lost the ball, which was completely knocked down by the opponent's technology, and the opponent tore the defense line through continuous passing, so that Guangzhou Evergrande's defense appeared empty, and then created a chance to shoot.
There is not even any player to blame for conceding such a goal.
Therefore, Xu Yang thinks that there is not much suspense in this game......
After conceding the goal, Guangzhou Evergrande stood motionless on the field with their heads down, and the Bayern players did not celebrate after the goal, they high-fived each other and walked back.
Li Qingshan walked past his teammates who were standing on the court and were a little depressed, went to the net to fish out the ball, turned around and ran towards the middle circle.
The players of Guangzhou Evergrande couldn't help but feel a little guilty when they saw Li Qingshan's actions.
Just conceding a goal and the morale of the side will fall to the bottom, which really shouldn't be the performance of the Asian champion team.
The players bounced back and focused on the game.
