Array football

Chapter 391

For a moment, all the fans in the entire city stadium held their breaths, and there was a large space behind Manchester City's defense.

Muller's basic skills are good, he easily unloaded the ball and broke into the penalty area.

Van Gaal, who was originally sitting on the bench, rushed out of his seat excitedly after seeing Müller's successful anti-offside. He looked at the thin figure without blinking.

Since he is willing to arrange for Muller to start in such an important game, he naturally has great trust in Muller.

And Muller's performance is also worthy of Van Gaal's trust.

If this goal is scored, Bayern will catch up to 1:2 in the total score. Such a score will greatly boost Bayern's morale.Let them work hard, and if they score another one, the score will be equalized and the two sides will return to the original starting line.

However, everyone has said that it was a miracle in Istanbul, a miracle, is it so easy to reproduce?

Muller stopped for a while, entered the penalty area, and directly faced the Spanish goalkeeper Diego Lopez, who had already abandoned the goal immediately when Muller stopped the ball, without the slightest hesitation.

In the past two years of training in Manchester City, although he is still the goalkeeper of the cup, Diego Lopez's performance is still much more stable, and the frizzy things are much less.

This time, the opponent had a single shot, and Diego Lopez directly chose to abandon the goal and attack.

However, in one-on-one single-handedly, the goalkeeper is still passive.

Müller raised his foot and wanted to shoot from close range, but Diego Lopez stopped immediately after seeing his swinging legs, pressed down, and opened his arms to catch the football.

But there was a smirk on Muller's mouth: it was a feint.

Without waiting for Diego Lopez to react, Muller suddenly kicked his foot, provoking an arc of the football, just over the top of Diego Lopez's head.

Diego Lopez just subconsciously raised his hand to reach the football, but it was still a little short.

The football went over the high point and landed in the goal behind Lopez.

0: 1!
Bayern is ahead!
The stands of the visiting team fans are completely boiling!
The Bayern fans who came with the team rushed out of their seats and shouted at the pitch, many of them chanting Müller's name.

It can almost be said that his goal saved Bayern!

Van Gaal was on the verge of tears.

Muller's goal is simply a timely rain in the continuous drought.

Duncan scratched his hair in annoyance, these little bastards.

At the deployment meeting before the game, he specifically emphasized this point of Muller.

But the players clearly did not take the young Müller to heart.

As a young man who has just turned 20 and has just gained a foothold in the first team this season, Muller is still an unknown person in the football world.

Therefore, Manchester City's defensive players will naturally pay more attention to Olic, who scored a few goals before, rather than the teenager Muller.

Duncan has decided to give this group of losers a hard hit in the midfield lounge.

Of course, this goal also made Duncan aware of some details.

When Joel Luka was defending Olic, it was indeed a bit difficult.His fighting spirit is not lacking, but the game experience is a lot worse, and Olic obviously knows him very well.

And Thiago Silva obviously noticed this, so he paid more attention to Joel Luka's defensive mistakes, but he didn't pay enough attention to Muller's running position. This is a big problem.

"Do you want to remind him?" Jim Cassell asked.

Duncan shook his head: "No, he will adjust himself!"

Although Joel Luka is inexperienced, he is also a thinking player.He has competed against all kinds of outstanding forwards in the past year, so he will naturally adopt different defensive strategies for each of them.

And this is exactly the content and ability that a top central defender must possess.

This is also Duncan's confidence in Joel Luka.

Joel Luka was a little annoyed. If he hadn't lost to Olic when he was fighting for the landing point, then there would be no Muller's single-handed confrontation with Lopez.Manchester City's loss was his mistake from the source.

Duncan originally arranged for Thiago Silva to mark Olic. The Brazilian is better in header, bounce, speed and physical confrontation, which is enough to suppress Olic.

For such mediocre talented players, it is natural to use super talented players to suppress their talents.

It's just that the tactics are dead, but the players are alive.

Olic and Muller used a simple crossover to make Manchester City's central defender's plan fail.

Joel Luka does not feel that he is weaker than Olic in terms of body and confrontation. Olic, who was born in 79, is 31 years old and is obviously on the decline.

Just like Shevchenko, although he is a top striker, Joel Luka has been equal to him in physical confrontation since last year.

Is Olic more powerful than Shevchenko?

impossible!

Joel Luka knows very well that if he can't handle Olic, then Bayern will definitely target him at this point, and Manchester City's tactics will be greatly reduced.

So he had to make adjustments to make himself competent to defend Olic.

Thinking of this, Joel Luka's expression instantly became serious.

"Relax, buddy!" Captain and partner Thiago Silva patted him on the shoulder, showing a warm smile: "It was just an accident, don't take it too seriously!"

Joel Luka nodded, and suddenly asked in confusion: "Speaking of it, Captain. Although I didn't keep an eye on Olic, it seems that you have let Muller go, right?"

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Muller to get a single-handedly so easily.

Thiago Silva smiled: "Hehehe, isn't it? That's because I was..." Then he inadvertently raised his head and looked at the frontcourt: "Hey, the opponent is attacking again, hurry up and defend!"

After speaking, he ran back without looking back.

Joel Luka shrugged.

Manchester City launched an attack, and Diego Lopez threw the ball directly to Heinze on the left. Heinze followed the left sideline and dribbled the ball forward.

Bayern were pressing a lot in the middle, so Diego López gave the ball wide.

Bayern's frontcourt pressing looks beautiful, and it can also bring out the advantages of Bayern players.It looked fierce, created opportunities and scored goals, but on the other hand, Bayern also had a lot of space.

Bayern's formation is pressed very high. Although the high defense line ensures the compactness of Bayern's formation, it also gives Manchester City the possibility of counterattack.

Therefore, making offside is a very important part of Bayern's defensive tactics.

Budstuber and Van Buyten, who are 189 and 198 tall, can beat anyone in frontal defense, but anyone can beat them in counterattack.

Fortunately, there are two helpers on both sides, Lahm and Contento, so the defense can be consistent.

It's just that when Van Bommel and Schweinsteiger both advance forward, there must be one person who is always in position to supplement the defense or destroy Manchester City's offense.

Due to the slow speed of the double central defenders, it is easy to be beaten behind, so Altintop, Ram and others on the wing often fill in this position to make up for it.

The tactical literacy of the Bayern players is still very good, so it is safe to take turns to make up for it.

Moreover, Bayern's tactics are very holistic. The frontcourt Olić and the teenager Muller are very active in fighting, and they are all solving problems for the midfield and backcourt.

What is the overall strategy most afraid of?
Of course, I am most afraid of the superstar's personal ability to do it alone!
And Duncan's game is to arrange the personal performance of the frontcourt players.
