Grassroots Glory

An hour before the match between the two sides, the 66,000 seats at the Allianz Arena in Munich were already packed to the brim. All the lighting equipment in the stadium was turned on. In addition, the red crowd of Bayern fans who are now self-indulgent, mapped the entire stadium into a The red luminous body can be seen clearly from several kilometers away.

Every night at Bayern's home court, the Allianz Arena must be the most eye-catching place in Munich, the city center of the entire Munich.

This is Schalke's last heavyweight opponent of the season. If they win, Schalke can at least maintain the current seven-point lead over Wolfsburg. Excluding this round, there are four rounds left in the league, and the championship is almost at your fingertips . It is for this reason that CCTV also attaches great importance to it. The Bundesliga gold medal commentator Duan Xuan went to Munich to comment on the spot.

Duan Xuan was sitting in the media seat at the moment, feeling the high-decibel noise of the home team fans, his excitement was also ignited, and he said passionately: The Bayern fans are as passionate as ever, and they are looking forward to Heynckes' debut. Xiu can lead the team to defend the home court. After all, this is the holy place in their minds, and they will never allow Schalke 04 to steadily move towards the championship with a winning attitude here.

Judging from the objective situation, this game does not allow Bayern to make mistakes. In the last round, they beat Bielefeld 1:0, and just overtook Stuttgart to return to the top three in the standings, and they only have a two-point advantage. They also urgently need to consolidate their position. Only the top three can qualify for the Champions League. Although the third place can only start from the qualifying round, what Bayern needs now is to ensure that they can continue to participate in the Champions League! Otherwise, even if you win the German Cup, you can only participate in the Europa League.

For a top club like Bayern, the view of the Europa League is that the European second-tier teams are pecking at each other, and it is obviously unacceptable to be with these teams.

Not to mention Schalke, this is their chance to end their eight-game winless streak against Bayern.

When the two teams entered the field, the multi-party commentators were giving their opinions with the official starting list.

Huh? Slomka changed the formation back to 4-3-3 again, and Kristajic returned to the starting position, partnering with Zhou Tiancheng and Rakitic. It seems that his defensive guarantee for the double midfielder Not very reassured, Kristajic is the one who does the dirty work full-time. He did a good job as a substitute in the last Champions League. Today, it seems that Slomka continues to count on his existence to make Zhou Tiancheng and Rakitic are more focused on attacking.

In other positions, the back line has not changed for a long time. Goalkeeper Neuer, the four defenders are Hewedes, Westermann, Rafinha and Bordon, and the midfielders are Rakitic, Zhou Tiancheng and Kristajic from left to right, Left winger Asamoah, right winger Altintop, the top arrow is still Kuranyi.

Taff Baumann, the commentator of Munich TV 1, analyzed Heynckes' debut in depth: Heynckes still maintains a steady and consistent style. Although Klinsmann's previous formation has been criticized for problems, he continues Stick to a 4-4-2 formation.

This is also understandable. In such a short period of time, the effect of practicing the new formation is definitely not good. Moreover, the formation is only the second place. The biggest problem with Bayern's performance this year is not in tactics.

Many people are aware of this and know where the crux of Bayern lies, but it will not happen overnight to solve the problem Bowman refers to.

Compared with the starting lineup when they challenged Schalke in the first round away, Bayern's starting lineup has changed a lot today. Goalkeeper Bout, the four defenders are Lucio, Van Buyten, Marcel Jansen and captain Lahm in turn, Schweinsteiger and Van Bommel form a double midfielder partner, and the left side of the two wings is this season. The absolute thigh of Franck Ribery, on the right is Hammett Altintop, also known as the Great Altintop, the elder brother of Khalil Altintop in the Schalke formation. On the front line, Heynckes trusts two more experienced veterans, German international Klose and Italian international Toni. Both of them are masters in the air, and it can be expected that Schalke's air defense is under a lot of pressure today.

Bayern had a clear strategy in the opening stage. They did not get too entangled with Schalke in the middle of the midfield, and transferred the ball to the wing as soon as possible.

The choice of Heynckes at the beginning did not make people see anything new. Klinsmann was able to draw with Schalke in the first half, also focusing on the wing attack.

But Bayern really has nothing to do. Judging from the lineup configuration, the wing is indeed where they are obviously better than Schalke, and the center is really hard to fight. With Heynckes' pragmatic coaching style, he would never do such an obviously thankless task.

In the third minute of the first half, Van Bommel received a short pass from Lucio behind him. Before Kristajic rushed up to press, he passed the ball to the left for the first time. After Ribery got the ball, it was seamless. Connecting, quickly dribbling the ball and accelerating the inside cut, although Rafinha was very focused and kept staring at his feet, Ribery deliberately switched the ball to his right foot at the moment he started it, and Rafinha aimed at his dominant left He tackled the ball with his foot, but he only got a shovel of grass clippings with his foot. Ribery seized the opportunity to dribble the ball inside.

Duan Xuan suddenly exclaimed: Oops! Rafinha is too reckless. Although he is 24 years old, he still lacks experience in one-on-one with top stars.

Franck Ribery rushed along the bottom line on the left, attracting Hewedes' attention, and then passed the half-high ball to the front of the goal. The speed was very fast. It is said to be an opportunity, with a light block on the chest, if you are lucky, you can block the ball into the goal.

Franck Ribery's pass was very stealthy. In the stands behind Schalke's goal, every Bayern fan stood up, with expectant eyes, to see who could complete this crucial point grab.

Neuer looked at the height of the ball, concentrated on lowering the center of gravity, and was ready to pick it off like a hungry tiger at any time. However, Zhou Tiancheng was one step faster than him, rushed to the goal in time, stretched his leg and kicked a barb to clear the ball out of the penalty area.

Watching the Bayern players quickly disperse to the outside, Neuer realized that the alarm had been lifted, and ran over to give Zhou Tiancheng a high-five: Thank you, Zhou.

To be honest, Zhou Tiancheng's timely appearance this time really helped him solve the problem, otherwise he really wouldn't be absolutely sure to take the ball off the crowd in the first place.

Zhou Tiancheng waved his hand: It's just my job. Then he turned his head and clapped his hands at Rafinha and shouted, Rafael, be careful, don't fall for Ribery's fake moves!

Hey! Zhou, you stole my lines again. Westerman shouted at this time.

Zhou Tiancheng immediately raised his hand: Ah... sorry Haike, I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention.

Westerman gave him a blank look and said that every time, did he really mean it?

Forget it, you are also the third captain now, so you are exercising your power, and I don't care about you.

...

Both sides are trying their best to limit the opponent's key offensive routines. Kristajic's position is wide open, always keeping a step away from Rafinha, paying special attention to the key defense of Ribery's side, His active area is more like a side midfielder.

The entire Bayern team is very clear that Schalke's main threat comes from the forward penetrating attack in the middle of the midfield, so the entire back line presses forward, which kills two birds with one stone: one is to shorten the distance with the midfielder and compress the middle Second, Schalke strikers are not afraid of inserting behind, because behind is basically an offside trap.

Zhou Tiancheng tried a few times to let Rakitic quickly move forward to create a threat between the two lines, but the effect was not good. Schweinsteiger and Lucio closed the door very quickly, and Rakitic had nowhere to escape.

Zhou Tiancheng can only implement plan b, hand the ball to Altintop on the right, open the gap from the side and then return to the center. The reason why Asamoah was not given was because Zhou Tiancheng felt that it would be difficult for him to take advantage of the double captain of Bayern and the German team.

This has nothing to do with trust. As the core of the midfield, Zhou Tiancheng must clearly predict the strength comparison between the enemy and us in each position, otherwise it will be easy for the team to fall into a dead end.

And Altintop is on the right, facing Marcel Janssen, it is relatively easy to break through. Jansen is tall, as a full-back, he is 1.88 meters tall, which is destined to be very effective in frontal defense and set-piece defense. Advantages, his offense and defense on the wing more rely on his physical advantage to directly crush the opposing players, but when encountering a winger like Altintop who starts to accelerate at the first step of taking the ball, Jansen's turning speed and chasing back Ability has become a big shortcoming.

After Altintop created a dangerous situation in front of the goal through several breakthrough crosses, Heynckes signaled the midfielder to continue to withdraw, especially on the left, and the winger Altintop must withdraw to help defend.

So, it didn't take long for the Altintop brothers to have a direct collision on the wing. Altintop Jr. was superior in acceleration, but Altintop Jr. took a shortcut along the breakthrough line and caught up with two steps to tackle the ball out of the touchline.

This duel, from the point of view of the two of them alone, was a draw.

It's not easy for little Altintop to win favors from his elder brother. The two brothers must have practiced together when they were young, and there are no secrets between them.

Duan Xuan watched it with gusto. There are many brothers playing football in the world, but brother derbies who can compete in the same field and directly compete against each other are rare.

The two brothers played averagely on the wing today. Altintop Jr. was limited by his brother's supplementary defense. Schalke's attack from the right was intermittent and it was difficult to continue the firepower. Altintop Jr. was one-on-one. It's also hard to get rid of Bordon.

In the first half, the two sides ended 0:0. In addition to scoring goals, this game is still very rich.

At halftime, the coaches of both sides faced the same problem.

To attack, or to defend?

Test the courage of the two head coaches.

When the two sides returned to the field, the answers from Heynckes and Slomka were surprisingly consistent.

Stand still, did not make any personnel adjustments.

Of course, it is limited to personnel. As for the tactics on the field, the head coaches of the two sides must have different explanations.

Each had a chance but failed to score. According to the abilities of the attacking players on both sides, this should not have happened. Obviously, both offenses have problems.

At the beginning of the second half, it didn't take long for the changes between the two sides to appear. On the offensive end of Schalke, Kuranyi's range of activities increased a lot. Slomka obviously confessed that he actively sought cooperation with the midfielder. The fulcrum function of the field is just a decoration.

On Bayern's side, Heynckes used the local advantages of the wing to the extreme. Jansen and Lahm's assists were very resolute, and even Altintop and Franck Ribery began to lean towards the center, with the idea of ​​letting the two full-backs each take on a side.

And the two have this ability. Ram stopped talking. Since entering the public eye in the 2005 World Youth Championship, his side assists and crossing ability have always been one of the labels. Jansen is even more ruthless on the offensive end. Before being transformed into a full-back, he initially played as a winger and also played as a forward.

Heynckes obviously saw an opportunity on the wing and decided to add another fire.

Unsurprisingly, Rafinha and Bordon seemed powerless in the face of such high-intensity bombing. Moreover, by playing on the side, Bayern continued to cross, which involved Schalke's defense in the middle, and the three midfielders had to withdraw to assist in the defense.

Bayern dominated the game in the second half, and Slomka's offensive arrangement seemed even more tasteless. What is the use of a striker when the ball is far away from the attacking area?

Marcel Leif shook his head: Schalke's main team is still far from the top configuration... Manchester United's lineup is stronger than Bayern's, but not weaker!

Thinking of Schalke 04's next Champions League opponent, Marcel Leif's worries are already obvious: playing against Bayern in poor form, it is a bit overwhelming, and Manchester United, which is currently in its heyday...

Think carefully.

On the coaching bench, Schalke assistant coach Biskens asked Slomka in a low voice: Mirko, what do you think?

Slomka turned to stare at him, not knowing why.

Biskens hesitated for a moment, but still asked, Should we, in a few minutes, let Zhou Huihui play as a central defender just like the last game?

Is there any difference between doing that and admitting defeat in advance? Slomka asked back.

Biskens stopped talking and bowed his head in displeasure. He knew that Slomka would not listen to others in terms of tactics, so he shouldn't be a bitch!

Slomka seemed to realize that his words were too much, and then explained: Old man, don't think too much, I know you are thinking about the team. But this game is different from the last game against Liverpool. The last game is heaven and hell In the first line, I have to be cautious. But this time is different, we have the capital to take risks, why should we settle for a draw? The next game we have to play Manchester United, Bayern is an excellent opponent to boost confidence, let them feel the face Against the giants, we don't need to be defensive and have the strength to fight, so we can create miracles. Do you understand what I mean?

Biskens understood, but he looked at Slomka with the eyes of a monster.

Use Bayern to boost confidence and prepare for Manchester United? !

If the media knows, it is estimated that the number one wonder in European football this year is none other than Slomka.

While the two coaches were talking, the game gradually passed for 80 minutes, and the score still remained unchanged.

The experienced commentator is more excited at this time, the more the game drags on, the more it moves towards the rhythm of a one-goal decisive victory! There is no shortage of big-hearted players on both sides.

Zhou Tiancheng, Ribery, Klose, Toni...

Who can score a goal?
