Chapter 390 Simple and rude Borussia
In the 7th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich played against Borussia Monchengladbach at home, which attracted the attention of fans all over Germany.

"You take away the championship, but you must keep the victory!"

This is the slogan played by Borussia fans who went to the Allianz Arena.

Although Bayern is a hegemon in the Bundesliga and invincible, there are not many teams that can cause them trouble.

If you look at Bayern's losses in recent years, Borussia is undoubtedly the leader of the Bundesliga.

Bayern's unbeaten record in the league last season fell into the hands of Borussia.

Now encountering Bayern in a sluggish state, the extremely excited Borussia fans hope that the team will win a big away game.

Borussia seems to be born to restrain Bayern.

Before the game, the media and public opinion regarded this game as Ancelotti's "life-saving battle", and Bayern's top management absolutely did not allow any mistakes.

[Welcome to the focus of this week's Bundesliga matches. 】

[I dare say that this is the most exciting match in recent years. 】

[As for the reason, I don't need to say more. 】

[Before introducing the starting lineups of both sides, allow me to tell you one thing. 】

[Both Dortmund and Leipzig have won this round of the league. 】

[Bayern has one game less and is currently in second place in the standings with Leipzig, 14 points behind No. 】

[If Bayern loses this game, then they will rank third with less goal difference. 】

[This will create the worst start result in the past eight years. 】

In order to fight this tough battle well, Bayern fans formed a huge tifo around the stadium with pieces of paper in the stands on all sides, creating a shocking visual impact and a warm home atmosphere.

Fans are the 12th person of the team and their strongest backing.

The referee Willenburg, who was enforcing the game, felt the tension between the two teams instantly when he walked into the player channel.

A most ordinary Bundesliga game, after being affected by various factors, turned into the heaviest game of the season, which he did not expect at all.

Under his leadership, the two teams stepped onto the field and were instantly stunned by the huge tifo in front of them.

On the outermost circle, Bayern's standard bearers waved flags to welcome their heroes.

Bayern Munich start.

Goalkeeper Neuer.

The defense line Alaba, Hummels, Jule, Kimmich.

The midfielder Vidal.

Rossi, Thiago, Muller, Koeman in the midfield.

Center Lewandowski.

Judging from the single midfielder who gave the starting lineup, Ancelotti's intention to attack at home is very obvious.

Borussia Mönchengladbach start.

Goalkeeper Sommer.

Defense Winter, Nico Elvedi, Gentle, Michael Lang.

Midfielders Neuhaus, Kramer, Hoffman.

Forwards Jurgen Hazard, Praia, Stindl.

The visiting team's starting lineup was even more aggressive, and they dared to play a 4-3-3 offensive formation at the Allianz Arena.

Neuer and Stindl came to the middle circle to guess coins, and it turned out that Borussia was the first to attack in the away game.

Losing the right to kick off made the fans very dissatisfied.

In such an important game, kicking off first is the first to win, and it must be won.

Neuer, who was a little lost, gathered his teammates together to boost morale.

Drip~drip! ! !
After the opening whistle blew, Borussia kicked off.

After the center forward returned the ball to the midfielder, the formation quickly dispersed.

Their spread is not slowly spread out according to the width of the court and the distance of each defense line.

The three strikers immediately moved towards Bayern's defense line.

In this way, the midfield is completely out of touch.

This is Borussia's intention.

After two or three passes in the backcourt, the ball was suddenly passed behind Bayern's defense by their midfielder Hoffman.

Borussia's captain Stindl went to the full-backs and central defenders. After stopping the ball, he cut in and passed to the goal.

After center Praia jumped high, he wanted to shoot from the top.

But the line of the ball was relatively close to the goal, and Neuer, who was attacked, took it off easily.

At the beginning, I wanted to get off my horse, but fortunately, Neuer was focused enough to attack and defuse the danger.

Bayern attack.

Borussia's strikers not only did not retreat, but the two defensive lines in the midfield quickly pressed over.

This is to play high press.

This economical and practical tactic does not require big-name players, and it can still wrestle with giants.

In addition, every time they play Bayern, the Borussia players feel like they have been hit with chicken blood. The continuous high pressure is an important means for them to defeat powerful opponents.

Not only is he actively counter-attacking in the frontcourt, but his fluency and speed in transitioning from offense to defense are also ridiculously strong.

After Thiago retreated to help the ball out, Borussia's jersey quickly compressed and surrounded the landing area, allowing the receiver to decide how to handle the ball in a short time.

Borussia Borussia's crazy rush and running tactics are very restrained by pass-and-control teams.

And Bayern happens to be a technical team that uses midfield control to achieve an offensive and defensive balance.

Although there are many players with good skills at their feet, Bayern's midfielder has never been considered a top midfielder.

Bayern's midfield lacks a true maestro.

Thiago has potential, but has not reached Harvey's height.

Although he is the "brain" of Bayern, sorting out the team's offensive direction, but facing Borussia Borussia's berserk, one brain seems a bit lonely.

Although Vidal next to him is a defensive midfielder, he likes to attack forward, and Thiago often needs to defend his gap.

Once the opponent counterattacks, Thiago usually only fouls to stop the opponent.

Therefore, only in the case of a single core, Borussia Borussia's rush tactics can effectively limit Bayern's smooth offensive mode.

After the midfield is restricted, no matter how good your striker is, if you don't pass the ball, it's just a display.

This is also what Borussia head coach Hei Jin has been emphasizing with the players before the game.

Instead of restricting Bayern's leading striker Rossi, it is better to keep the ball from passing to his feet simply and directly.

In the 4th minute, Thiago controlled the ball near the top of the penalty area. After attracting the defense, he sent an exquisite through ball to Koeman on the wing.

Before Borussia's defense was in place, Koeman made a pass and swept the ball towards the goal.

At the end of the point, Rossi rushed to the horse, pushed the arch of his foot to the far corner, and made a low arc.

Sommer, who struck out, squatted with his feet split, his arms outstretched, and his fingertips just touched the ball.

Rossi was taken aback.

The angle and height of the shot are already perfect, yet it is still touched by the opponent's goalkeeper. This subconscious reaction is a bit against the sky.

After the ball was touched, it brushed the far post and went out of the baseline.

At the same time, the linesman raised the flag to indicate that the attack was offside, and the referee awarded the ball to Borussia.

Rossi was puzzled and told the referee that the attack just now was not offside.

He explained for a reason.

In the Champions League group match against Ajax, he was offside 4 times throughout the game, the highest in the game.

But after the game, it was discovered through returning to defense that three of them were controversial.

Therefore, if a player suffers a "misjudgment" on the field, he should fight with the referee to gain a psychological advantage for himself.

The explanation given by the referee Willenberg was that Koeman was offside when receiving the ball.

Players on the court do not have the eyes of God and cannot see the whole court.

An Pang off the court was very clear.

Borussia is not only strengthening the fight in the midfield to limit their passing and ball control rhythm.

Also specially formulated offside tactics.

At the moment Thiago passed the ball, it was obvious that Borussia's central defender consciously premised Koeman into an offside trap.

Why is this offside not aimed at Rossi?
Borussia Borussia head coach Hei Jin has long known that it is not an easy task to mark Rossi.

Therefore, when arranging the defense, the players will focus on blocking the connection between the ball holder and Rossi.

In this way, no matter how good your Rossi's running position is, if you don't pass the ball to your feet, it's still a display.

10 minutes after the start of the game, Rossi's number of attacks on the left was actually 0.

After An Pang thought for a while, he decided to focus his attack on Koeman on the right.
