275 Heathfield's Courage

"As with all the major finals we've seen, the opposing sides had different styles of football, but they started off on a straight start, with neither side opting to attack from the start, but playing with a steady stride."

"But from the beginning, we can also see the tactics of the two sides, Inter Milan is still active in trying to control the game, more attempts to use ball control, passing, and cooperation to pass through the midfield, but Bayern Munich is concentrating on the midfield, and Heathfield has replaced four midfielders with outstanding running ability, fighting and interception awareness in one go."

"This caused a chaotic battle between the two sides in the midfield, and the scene looked a little chaotic!"

……

Basically, the summary of the on-site commentator is a good reflection of the start of the two sides, chaos!

Inter's style of play has been curtailed, especially in the midfield, Bayern have hoarded heavy troops in order to suppress Inter's midfield, for which they even did not hesitate to use running and scrambling to block Inter's passing, which made Inter Milan never form a threatening attack.

"Otema's tactics are clear!" After a 10-minute start, Paul Beyer also saw Bayern's tactics.

It must be a defensive counterattack, but now they are still in the defensive stage, and they have not shown their fangs on the counterattack for the time being.

There is a saying that a dog that bites does not bark, and if it shows its fangs too early, it loses the suddenness of the counterattack.

But once exposed, it's definitely a one-hit hit!

Yang Cheng stared at the situation on the field, but analyzed in his mouth: "Although it is 361, it is actually more like 351, Effenberg's position is very active, the degree of freedom is very high, and he is also the most dangerous person in the audience!" ”

Hargreaves, Fink and Jeremath are all focused on defensive duties, but Effenberg can be very high on the top, once Inter get the ball, he will go straight forward and press Emerson, and the three defenders behind him must also push forward, forcing Inter to play the ball quickly.

"Isn't this just a scramble?" Yang Cheng smiled.

This is a tactic that countless Chinese fans are familiar with, and compared to Bayern Munich, it is indeed playing to their strengths and avoiding weaknesses, after all, they simply do not have the strength to fight with Inter Milan to attack.

While Yang Cheng and Paul Baier were talking, Inter Milan on the scene began to improve.

Zanetti once dribbled forward and crossed diagonally into the box, Vanney retreated, blocked Kufuor, and headed the ball, but Ronaldo was stopped by Anderson, who directly broke the ball off the line and took a corner.

Pirlo takes a corner, but Lucio's header is too wide and is confiscated by Kahn.

But less than a minute later, Inter Milan played again.

After Zanetti stepped forward, Nedved and the Argentine played a combination, the Czech picked up a cross in the penalty area on the right rib of the penalty area, Ronaldo stopped the ball on his chest under the interference of Sagnol, but it was slightly bigger, and was cleared by Anderson's big foot.

It can be seen that Inter Milan's double strikers are greatly limited in Bayern Munich's three central defenders, especially Anderson, who is very firmly positioned, almost undisturbed by the running of Inter Milan players, and always stays in the penalty area.

"They have a strong midfield defense!" Paul Byer sighed.

Only when the defensive ability of the midfield is in place, Bayern Munich will dare to let the back three stay in the box to avoid losing position, because the defenders in the midfield can form a good protection at the edge of the box.

Yang Cheng walked to the sidelines and waved at Emerson, signaling him to hold steady.

"He is asking us to be anxious, to bring up the rhythm, and we must not let him get his wish!" Yang Cheng said very seriously.

The pace is fast, Inter Milan will definitely make more mistakes, and the loopholes will be exposed, and Bayern Munich will have more counterattack opportunities, but Yang Cheng will definitely not let them get their wish.

…………

............ "It was a stalemate on the pitch, Inter Milan's midfield organization was curtailed, the attack never created a good chance to score, Bayern Munich has always been defensive and has not had a threatening attack ...... yet"

As soon as the on-site commentator finished speaking, Bayern Munich played a counter-attack, and it was Hargreaves, the England midfielder who has performed well this season, who broke the ball and handed it to Effenberg, who was more forward and handed the ball directly to Sauer on the right. ,

"Oops, Inter Milan's left side defense seems to be a little leaky, after Sauer got the ball, no one stepped forward to press, Zambrotta and Pirlo didn't go up at the first time, the German dribbled forward on the right side and got up and passed to the middle......"

"Beautiful!! Nesta stepped forward steadily, stuck Elber, and cleared the ball to his teammate! ”

'It was a very successful defence and Nesta showed his unrivalled anticipation to disrupt Bayern's most dangerous attack since the opening, at least they finally got the ball into the Inter box!'

"But this time Bayern's attack has given Yang Cheng a wake-up call, on the side where Pirlo is stationed, their midfield lacks protection for the backline, which makes Bayern Munich easily create a threat from this side, if this loophole cannot be plugged well, it is estimated that Bayern's attack will play on the right side again!"

Sure enough, as soon as the on-site commentator's voice fell, Bayern's counterattack passed the ball to the right side again, still to Sauer, but this time Zambrotta immediately stepped forward to press, but he didn't force too close, kept a certain distance, just couldn't let him take the ball and pass the ball comfortably.

Sauer's pass was blocked by Emerson, and Inter counter-attacked.

"Still on the left, Heathfield has clearly sensed the loophole in Inter!"

However, Inter Milan's attack was concentrated on his right side, and Zanetti was very active, frequently stepping forward to suppress Bayern Munich's left side, which also caused the situation that both sides played one side each.

…………

…………

Yang Cheng calmly watched the ball on the sidelines, of course he could see that Bayern's attack was concentrated on the right side, like himself, this was his intention, so he didn't let Zambrotta step forward at all, and even Lucio was firmly pressed by him on the back line.

He just wants Bayern to attack on the left side, Sauer's player is not fast, more of a creative player, this type of player plays counterattack, not very threatening, plus Elber in the middle is alone, as long as Inter Milan's back line does not make mistakes, it will be difficult for Bayern to attack the penalty area.

"In a football game, especially in this kind of crucial battle, it is absolutely impossible to completely suppress the opponent's attack, so we simply expose a flaw to them and let them catch the flaw to play, so that we can defend better!" Yang Cheng smiled.

Knowing that the opponent is going to attack the left side, Zambrotta, Emerson, and Nesta are all focused on this side, the pressure on Inter Milan is really light, the players are very easy to execute, and Elber is not the kind of player who can chisel the defence, his impact is not enough to ensure that he can hit the Inter backline head-on.

In this way, Sauer and Elber's cooperation becomes very defensive, because their routine is nothing more than those few moves.

On the contrary, both Pirlo and Nedved are more focused on attacking on the right.

On the pitch, it can be seen that Bayern Munich's midfielders are working hard, each one is desperate, sweeping every corner of the stadium, and it can even be said that they are using this sweeping that covers the whole field to freeze Inter Milan's attack.

However, Inter Milan did not rest on their laurels, and they were also actively controlling the game, playing their usual tactical characteristics to avoid letting the game be dragged by Bayern Munich's nose.

This makes the scene on both sides look chaotic and lacks highlights.

Paul Beyer went back to the dugout, looked at the latest stats and walked back.

'Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy both had very few chances to get the ball, almost none, and Nedved only had one shot from distance, so our attack was curbed and it was difficult to create a dangerous shot! Paul Beyer said worriedly.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Normal!" ”

Heathfield is willing to defend and counterattack this time, and even he would rather keep the game to the end than let Inter Milan score, Yang Cheng can even be sure that he must be ready to play extra time, or even a penalty shootout.

"Four players have been sent to defend!" Yang Cheng laughed teasingly.

Hargreaves, Jeremes, Fink, Effenberg, all of them are famous midfielders in Europe, Hargreaves has also performed very well after his rise this season, and the opponent has dispatched such a midfielder, if he can't suppress Inter Milan, then Heathfield has been in vain for so many years.

"We have to admire Otmar's courage!" Yang Cheng shook his head with a smile and looked into the distance, and Heathfield also looked over and gave him a confident smile, as if the game was under his control.

"But, don't forget, how long can they support this kind of all-court rushing and encirclement tactics?" Paul Beyer thinks it's impossible, and Heathfield must have a way to go.
