Chapter 1432 Weird Coincidence

The final result of the first half was zero to one, and Real Madrid returned to the dressing room with a goal behind.

Yang Yang and Zidane dragged at the end of the team, and they kept discussing the situation in the first half in low voices along the way.

When they returned to the locker room, they felt the anxious atmosphere immediately.

This time they faced Ancelotti and Bayern Munich.

A team that had just beaten Arsenal in the round of [-] with a total score of [-]-[-] in two rounds.

Yang Yang and Zidane looked at each other, and the French bald man raised his eyebrows encouragingly, signaling Yang Yang to go first.

When it comes to his status in the current locker room, Zidane is really not as good as Yang Yang.

This is not determined by the different status and positions of the two, but the prestige accumulated by Yang Yang and everyone who has fought side by side for many years. It is also something that no head coach, even the management of Real Madrid, can't ignore.

……

"Just now we were still sighing that we were very similar to our opponents in the first half of the game, the offense was very similar, and the defense was also quite similar."

Yang Yang walked towards his teammates with a wry smile. He was not only a player, but also the team's chief assistant coach. He often talked in the locker room, and Real Madrid players also listened to him very much.

"Bayern Munich is playing at home. From the very beginning, they have attached great importance to pressing and pressing in the midfield. Obviously, they want to fight for the initiative. They have done better than us in this regard. It is more intuitively reflected in the possession rate. We are about [-] percentage points behind our opponents."

This is the data that Yang Yang got from David Bertoni when he was outside just now, and it is very detailed.

"They attach great importance to the wing attack. They won six corner kicks in the first 25 minutes. Here, we must give the affirmation to the two wide players, Carvajal and Marcelo, who defended well. We also believe that you did your best, but if we want to win in the second half, we need to do better."

"Of course, our adjustments were also timely. As I said just now, we gave the opponent a corner kick in the first 25 minutes, but then we adjusted our defense. In the remaining 10 minutes, the opponent didn't even have a corner kick."

"Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben are actively integrated into the midfield, plus Xavi Alonso and Thiago. In this game, Bayern Munich's midfielder is obviously suppressing our midfielder, so they have more ball possession. But everyone found out that Bayern did not create many opportunities in our penalty area."

After hearing Yang Yang's words, everyone couldn't help showing a look of thought.

Regardless of the lagging behind in the score and the disadvantage in possession rate, in fact, Bayern Munich really didn't create many good opportunities.

Except for that corner goal.

"Franck Ribery dribbled the ball from the left, Robben cut in from the right, and they had an advantage in the midfield, which made them look like they had the initiative, but in fact, they didn't get many opportunities. The reason lies in the center position."

The absence of Lewandowski is a huge blow to Bayern Munich's offense. The comprehensive and tactical role of the Polish center is something that Thomas Muller cannot make up for.

Real Madrid's two central defenders defended Thomas Muller very well, and Casemiro also protected the front of the penalty area very well. This Brazilian midfielder is like a tank. Any ball that enters Real Madrid's 30-meter area, he will rush up and collide. He and Kanter's role in Real Madrid's tactics are very obvious.

"Vidal is too active. He is like a double-edged sword. When he is always moving forward and throwing his mind into the attack, what will happen to Bayern Munich's midfielder?"

After listening to it, many players thought about it carefully, and immediately understood what Yang Yang meant, and suddenly realized it.

"We didn't make good use of this in the first half. We must pay attention to it in the second half. After stealing the ball, we must pass through the midfield as soon as possible and directly attack the opponent's defense. If the two full-backs have a chance, they must be resolute and open up the offensive width. When defending, the midfielder must pay attention to protecting the defense, especially the wings."

Real Madrid played [-], and Hazard played as a left midfielder, but in fact, he still gave way more to the wing.

Robben was active in the first half, and Real Madrid was not without problems. Hazard did not protect Marcelo well. This has something to do with the fact that the Belgian winger is not keen on defense.

But the existence of Hazard also suppressed Lahm. The veteran knew very well that once he was pushed up, he would not be able to come back when he was hit by a counterattack. With Hazard's ability, it would be very dangerous for Bayern Munich to find Yang Yang and Suarez with the ball, so he simply didn't go up.

Yang Yang's words are more or less reminding Hazard that he is a left midfielder in this game, not a left winger.

"Before tonight, Bayern Munich had been unbeaten in [-] games at the Allianz Arena. In the past few years, they have encountered Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Barcelona, ​​Manchester City, etc. None of these strong teams can beat Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena."

"It can be seen that in this stadium, Bayern Munich has strong self-confidence and strong dominance."

After a pause, Yang Yang smiled again, "But you may not remember, just three years ago, almost at this time, we were in this stadium and defeated Bayern Munich, and our head coach at that time happened to be Carlo Ancelotti."

After finishing speaking, Yang Yang himself shrugged helplessly, feeling that this kind of thing was a bit paradoxical.

The players also tasted Yang Yang's sense of humor and laughed in unison.

This is professional football.

"What I want to say is, everyone, the steel fortress that other strong teams cannot break through, we still need to come in the end. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to reverse the opponent in the second half and win the victory!"

……

Yang Yang's words brought about a sudden positive change in the atmosphere of the locker room.

They are all famous players who have played in European football for many years. Real Madrid players will not be mobilized easily by a word or two, but from Yang Yang's mouth, they get the analysis of Bayern Munich, so that they all see the hope and confidence of winning.

Zidane then took Yang Yang's words and began to arrange the team's tactics for the second half.

Mainly focus on two aspects, one is to attack after the second half.

The biggest problem for Real Madrid in the first half was that they lost the initiative at the beginning of the game. The ball was controlled by Bayern Munich, and the midfielder lost momentum, which made Real Madrid play more passively throughout the first half. The situation must be reversed in the second half.

If possible, it is best to score a goal and tie the game.

Another aspect is that in terms of specific details, Zidane asked for a quick counterattack after stealing the ball. The focus of the counterattack was to target Bayern Munich's left, which is Real Madrid's right.

In this game, Lahm was not active in getting in. This is because he was very aware of his problems, so he sought stability, but Alaba was very active in getting in and participating in the frontcourt attack. Therefore, Real Madrid's counterattack was to quickly pass through the midfield and hit the opponent directly on the left.

In addition, Yang Yang and Suarez will also actively retreat to respond to the ball from the midfield.

If it is said that Real Madrid had too much entanglement with Bayern Munich in the midfield in the first half, then the strategy of Yang Yang and Zidane in the second half was to give up the midfield competition, pass quickly, and directly hit Bayern Munich's defense.

…………

…………

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Real Madrid took the lead in attacking Bayern Munich by taking advantage of their first kick-off.

Ancelotti obviously also has a full understanding of Real Madrid's tactical changes in the second half, so Bayern Munich took the initiative to retreat after the opening to stabilize their defense.

Real Madrid quickly pushed the ball into the 30-meter area of ​​Bayern Munich and tried to send it into the penalty area to create a threat, but was intercepted by the Bayern Munich central defender in the penalty area. Hummels quickly cleared the ball.

Thiago made a straight pass and sent the ball directly to the feet of striker Thomas Müller.

The German striker retreated to his own half, stopped the ball outside the 30-meter area, turned around, and dribbled forward.

Franck Ribery and Robben on both wings quickly followed, and Vidal also sprinted forward quickly, seeing that another counterattack by Bayern Munich was about to start.

But at this moment, Vermaelen suddenly rushed forward, grabbed the ball before Thomas Muller distributed it, and stabbed the ball with a shovel, even Thomas Muller was shoveled to the ground.

But the referee did not blow his whistle, but instead signaled the game to continue, recognizing that Vermaelen had completed a clean tackle.

Casemiro was chasing Thomas Muller all the way just now, Vermaelen tackled the ball right at his feet, and Vidal reacted quickly and blocked Casemiro immediately.

Brazil's midfielder passed the ball back to Ramos who raised his hand to ask for the ball. The Real Madrid captain raised his hand, stopped the ball, and signaled to be steady, but immediately, he saw Yang Yang who was retreating from the front court, and noticed Yang Yang's gesture.

Without hesitation, the captain of Real Madrid directly passed the ball with one foot on the ground, and sent the ball to Yang Yang's feet accurately.

Yang Yang took the ball with his back facing the attacking direction, almost stuck Ramos' pass to his feet, and turned around quickly after stopping the ball.

It wasn't until Yang Yang turned around that Thiago, the defensive player closest to him, reacted and rushed towards him immediately, and Harvey Alonso also wanted to pinch Yang Yang left and right at the same time.

Suarez was ready to sprint in front, but Yang Yang turned around, glanced ahead, took a small step forward, and adjusted it by the way. Before Thiago and Xavi Alonso got close, he shot with his right foot directly.

The ball was like a cannonball, flying towards Bayern Munich's goal with lightning speed.

Neuer stood in the middle. After seeing Yang Yang stop the ball and turn around, he already tensed up. When he saw him raise his foot and draw a bow to shoot an arrow, he immediately reacted. After judging the ball's momentum, he flew sideways.

Neuer's reaction was not fast enough. Yang Yang's long-range shot was also very sudden, and the ball was also very strange. When he was close to the goal, there was an obvious sudden drop, but Neuer was obviously prepared for this.
