Chapter 457
"The second half of the game is about to start, and the champion of this season's Champions League will probably be decided in 45 minutes!"

"Judging from the situation of the players we have seen so far, neither team should have made substitution adjustments in the second half."

"This is also normal. The starting lineups of both sides today were selected by the two head coaches after a season of running-in and games, and it is also the result of careful consideration and careful weighing of the opponents in this game."

"Therefore, such a lineup really represents the strongest strength of Bayern and Chelsea."

"Of course, the fact that there is no change in personnel does not mean that the formation and tactics of the two sides will not change. In the first half, the two famous coaches Pan Yi and Guardiola have shown us dazzling tactical restraint and targeting. I believe that in the second half we should We will continue such wonderful off-court games.”

"Okay, the referee has already blown the whistle to start the second half of the game. We still have to look at the tactical adjustments of the two sides according to the positions of the players on the waiting field..."

"Ah, Bayern seems to have another four-back position here! Guardiola has indeed changed his formation. He should want to reverse the decline in the final stage of the first half."

"Javier Martinez should have returned to the original central defender position, and the midfielder is Harvey Alonso, Vidal, Thomas Muller, and the forwards are Ribery, Arjen Robben and Center Lewandowski."

“没看错的话,拜仁这是改打了一个4-3-3,这应该就是要针对切尔西那攻势很猛的4-3-2-1阵型而做出的调整。让我们看看切尔西这边……”

"Huh? Chelsea has turned into a three-back position instead? But instead of pulling David Luiz back, the original right-back Azpilicueta is allowed to play a right-back position."

"And Marcos Alonso, the left back on the other side...his position is parallel to Bernardo Silva, he played a left winger!"

"Great gift crab! This is a 3-2-4-1 formation. It seems that Pan Yi is going to put more emphasis on offense in the second half!"

"The original traditional two-wing back system instantly became a formation without full-backs. To be honest, if it weren't for the versatility of Chelsea's players, it would be really difficult to complete such a formation change without changing players."

"But as I said just now, these two tactical masters played their new cards at the beginning of the second half. This is definitely a wonderful scene rarely seen in world football in a century!"

"Let us continue to look forward to the second half of the game. Perhaps the tactical duel in this game will be recorded in the history of world football!"
-
Chelsea started off aggressively.

After Bayern Munich changed their formation, their frontcourt pressing was also reduced.

When sieging the frontcourt, basically only the frontcourt trident goes up to block the passing of the opponent's defender.

Using three people to fight against the opponent's six-player system, the effect can be imagined.

What's more, the Trident was not as pressing as it was in the first half. Sometimes it was just a feint, which slightly affected the smoothness of Chelsea's ball.

This is the compromise Bayern made out of their own physical condition.

There is no way, no player in the world can really run wild for an entire game.

Of course, if a Chelsea player dribbles into Bayern Munich's half, Bayern will immediately pick up speed!
Especially the three players in the midfield, they will press up heavily in an instant, intercepting and pressing Chelsea, forcing Chelsea to pass the ball back to their own half.

As soon as the ball returned to Chelsea's half, Bayern Munich slowed down their pressing again.

But when Chelsea reorganized and passed the ball across the center line from the other side, Bayern Munich once again accelerated the siege, and the pace of the game immediately accelerated.

So again and again.

Bayern's attack, on the other hand, focused on the moment after the siege.

Once the ball is snatched, Bayern will immediately distribute the ball to the wing, allowing Robben and Ribery, two wingers with excellent speed and technique, to carry out individual blasts, while Lewandowski will respond in the middle , ready to grab a shot at any time.

This kind of offensive routine is not too complicated in terms of organization, and it can also be said to be simple and effective.

Of course, more importantly, this style of play can ensure that the defense line is not broken by Chelsea to the greatest extent, ensure that the attacking firepower of the side is not lacking, and can also save energy.

Pan Yi also watched very intently from the sidelines, and naturally noticed the changes in Bayern Munich, and quickly guessed Guardiola's intentions.

"This guy is indeed much better." Pan Yi couldn't help boasting.

Maybe Guardiola couldn't guess that Pan Yi would change to 3-2-4-1, but when he saw this formation, he immediately made some fine-tuning on the basis of the midfield arrangement, and began to focus on attacking Chelsea's two sides. .

After all, since there is no full-back in this formation, the defensive pressure of the two wingers is relatively high, and there are relatively many loopholes.

If Robben and Ribery are allowed to seize the opportunity, it is very likely that they will tear Chelsea's defense.

This is a keen sense of tactical changes.

When Pan Yi led Hamburg to meet Guardiola in the Bundesliga, it was still Gua Shuai's first year at Bayern, and Gua Shuai's tactics were not so varied at that time.

Especially in Pan Yi's combat history, often when Pan Yi started to make changes in on-the-spot tactics, the opponent's coach generally found it difficult to keep up with Pan Yi's thinking, and the final result was failure.

But today, Pan Yi has changed several times, but every time Guardiola can keep up with the rhythm and give a quick response, which is really commendable.

It can only be said that in this life, under the stimulation of Pan Yi, the "super boss", Guardiola has indeed improved a lot compared to the previous life.

Of course, now that Guardiola has come up with a new move, Pan Yi, who is the big boss, will naturally not lie.

As Pan Yi walked to the sidelines again and conducted his first on-the-spot command in the second half, the tempo on the field was sped up again.

In particular, the two side defenders Ake and Azpilicueta began to pull more support from the side, striving to revive the side, and at the same time limit the attack of the Robery combination.

In addition, Pan Yi also instructed his disciples to strengthen the large-scale transfer between the two sides.

Once the ball failed to get a chance on the left side, it immediately moved to the right side, and once the right side couldn't find an opportunity to attack, it immediately moved to the left side.

This frequent transfer of the left and right wings is mainly to mobilize Bayern's defensive strength, especially to let the three players in their midfield run back and forth, consuming their energy and physical strength.

After all, Bayern's defense is still under considerable pressure, and Chelsea will find loopholes and attack if they are not careful.

So every time Chelsea moved in a large area, Bayern's midfielder had to follow. As a result, sometimes the opponent just made a feint, but Bayern's midfielder ran back and forth, doing useless work.

Playing a few more times, the patience and spirit of the Bayern players are quite tortured.

In the 52nd minute, Chelsea transferred the ball from the left. Ake had just handed the ball to Marcos Alonso in front, but the latter was shoveled to the ground by Harvey Alonso who rushed over.

The two "Brother Long" had some disputes, but luckily they were pulled away by the referee and teammates in time.

It can be seen from this ball that he is as calm as Harvey Alonso, and his mentality is a bit anxious.

Chelsea wins a free kick.

Before the Bayern players took a defensive position, David Luiz quickly sent the ball, and Lukaku rushed up and shot directly.

But the angle of this shot was too straight, and Neuer threw him straight.

Although no goal was scored, this was the most threatening shot since the opening of the second half, so it still won the cheers of all Chelsea fans.

Subsequently, Chelsea launched a few more attacks, all of which were sudden speed-ups after large-scale transfers. Harry Kane and Seat B completed quite threatening shots respectively.

This makes Bayern fans feel quite uneasy.

As for the current dilemma on the court, Guardiola is of course psychologically prepared.

He is very clear that Pan Yi's idea now is to take advantage of the team's pass and control advantages and use the two wings to further weaken Bayern Munich's physical stock.

Once the "oil volume" of the Bayern players bottoms out, Chelsea will launch real waves of deadly attacks.

This can be regarded as a very common attrition routine for Chelsea this season.

Whether it is the Premier League or the Champions League, many teams seem to be able to deal with Chelsea in the early stages of the game, but they often pay a huge price in physical energy consumption to achieve such a balance of power.

After 70 minutes, Chelsea's strong physical reserves began to show their power. At this time, opponents often couldn't stand it.

Otherwise, how could there be such a thing as "Pan Yi time"?

However, although Guardiola understands, he does not have an effective coping strategy.

He asked his players at half-time not to let Chelsea have the ball in front of their own 30 metres, and they did.

He spotted the change in Chelsea's formation after the opening game, so let the Robery combination attack the opponent's wing, and they did.

But now if they are asked to follow Chelsea's two-sided transfer and move quickly, it would be too difficult.

After all, the physical fitness of the players has been exhausted to a certain extent, and it is difficult to support the team to explode and suppress similar to the first half.

Therefore, Guardiola can only let his players stand in position to defend the area.

Didn't you move left and right at Chelsea? Anyway, I defend my own area and defend when the ball arrives here, so I don't just run around blindly!

But in this way, Bayern sometimes has space to appear defensively.

This is the disadvantage of zone defense compared to man-to-man defense. It is prone to errors in judgment, which leads to poor man-to-man defense.

For example, when the opposing player enters an area, and this area may belong to player A or player B, who will go up and stare at this time?
This requires a very good tacit understanding.

For example, in the attack in the 58th minute, Seat B shifted his foot on the right and passed the ball to the left.

After Marcos Alonso plugged in, he stopped the ball forward with his chest, and then used his speed to shake off Ram and then went forward at high speed.

When he followed Harry Kane on the left to form a beautiful two-pass and ran forward again, Bayern's defense made a coordination error at that moment.

Is it Lahm who is chasing back, or is the center back Boateng going to make up for it?

It was this space of a few tenths of a second that gave Marcos Alonso the opportunity to make a cross.

He kicked a low cross into the penalty area and Lukaku rushed to the goal for a tackle, but Neuer struck just in time to save the ball before Lukaku's thick legs , resolved the crisis.

There were bursts of screams again at the San Siro Stadium, some of which were chagrin of Chelsea fans for missed opportunities, but more of them were still in shock from Bayern fans.

Guardiola on the sidelines was also taken aback.

He knew that if Chelsea scored a goal at this time, it would really be over.

But at the same time, he also felt that Captain Lahm's physical fitness might have started to go wrong.

Under Chelsea's frequent wing transfers and offenses, Lahm's footsteps have become heavy, and he can't keep up with the pace of Chelsea players.

He is 33 years old after all!

Although he will still try his best on the court, time is not forgiving.

Thinking of this level, he immediately turned his head to look at the bench, and began to look for a substitute.

It's time to consider replacing Ram!
"The fourth official held up the sign and it was Bayern Munich requesting a substitution."

"No. 32 Kimmich enters, replacing No. 21 Captain Lahm."

"It was a match-up and Kimmich was at right-back after he came on."

"It's just that Lahm was replaced in the 62nd minute of the game, which was relatively rare in the past."

"It also shows how much pressure the wing he guards is under Chelsea's attack!"

"Of course, Bayern fans don't have to worry too much about the end of the captain. The replacement Joshua Kimmich is known as 'Chicken Brother'. Although he is only a 21-year-old German rookie, he is young. The playing time in the film has reached two and a half years."

"He has also performed very well after transferring from Leipzig Red Bull to Bayern Munich this season. Now he has become an important player in the Bayern team and has also represented the team in 36 appearances in various competitions this season."

"On May 5 this year, in the friendly match between Germany and Slovakia, Kimmich started and completed his debut on behalf of the German national football team. This also proves that his performance has also been affirmed by Loew."

"Now, the young Kimmich will face the impact of Harry Kane, Lukaku and others. Let us see his performance in this important final!"
-
"Pay attention and ask them to hit Kimmich more."

Taking advantage of a dead ball, Pan Yi walked to the sidelines and gave instructions to Lukaku who came to drink water.

At this time, Kimmich had just made his debut not long ago. Although he has made rapid progress after staying under Guardiola for a year, he still hasn't changed his weakness of being frizzy when he sometimes grabs the ball.

In addition, Kimmich is young and energetic, and has a hot temper, which can also be used.

Lukaku drank water, listened to Pan Yi's instructions, and kept nodding.

After he finished drinking the water, he threw it away and quickly returned to the court.

"What did the boss tell you?" Harry Kane and Hazard both leaned over.

"The boss said that the kid Bayern just played is considered a weakness, and he can hit him hard at that point." Lukaku replied panting.

After replenishing the water, he was sweating all over his body, and white smoke even came out of his shaved head, like a black evil star coming down to earth.

Both of them nodded, and couldn't help turning their eyes to Kimmich.

Kimmich's current reputation is of course far less than that of Ram, and Chelsea players are not very familiar with him.

But since the head coach ordered so, there must be no problem in doing so.

No one knows the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent's players better than Pan Yi! ——
Kimmich felt a little hairy on his body.

"What are they looking at here?"

It happened that Boateng was standing beside Kimmich, and Kimmich turned to ask his big brother.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing." Boateng glanced at the Chelsea players who were looking this way, and snorted, "Don't worry about it so much, just play well according to the coach's arrangement."

Before Kimmich could answer, Boateng added: "Pay attention to your defensive actions."

Obviously, Boateng also knows that the little brother Kimmich sometimes moves too much and causes fouls when defending, so remind him.

But Kimmich nodded on the surface, but he didn't care about it in his heart.

The main reason is that he feels that Boateng's own defensive actions are not very good!

Just in last season's UEFA Champions League knockout match, when Bayern lost 0:3 to Barcelona, ​​Boateng made a very difficult 360-degree flip when facing Messi, and then he could only watch Messi West lobbed and scored. In the end, Bayern was also eliminated by Barcelona and missed the final.

This scene is still played back in countless football videos. What is your identity as Boateng, and you tell me to pay attention to defensive actions? ——
The game restarts.

"Chelsea once again passed the ball over the halfway line, let's see the attack this time."

"They are still attacking along their left. It seems that after Bayern replaced Lahm, Chelsea still did not change their attacking direction."

"But now that Bayern Munich is very well-organized in their own half, Chelsea's chances are not very good."

"Chelsea slowly poured the ball to the right, Alaba came to defend, there was still no space, and the B seat continued to pass back."

"David Luiz made a diagonal pass and the ball went back to the left! This time it's Eden Hazard with the ball!"

"Danger!!!!"

"Hazard quickly slanted into the penalty area from the left rib, and he is about to go in..."

"Huh? What's going on? Hazard fell in Bayern's penalty area, and Kimmich raised his hands behind him."

"Hazard seemed to be protesting and Kimmich made a push behind him, but Kimmich said he hadn't fouled."

"Let's look at the slow-motion playback from other angles. Kimmich did have a relatively secretive push, which made Hazard lose his balance and fell forward to the ground."

"But the referee seems to think that Hazard lost his balance and fell? Oh, the linesman also waved the flag. He whispered a few words to the referee, and the referee pointed his hand in the direction of the Bayern players!"

"Bayern fouled, but it wasn't a penalty! It was a free kick on the penalty area line."

"This shows that Kimmich pushed Hazard down while defending, but when he pushed it was outside the penalty area, Hazard just fell inside the penalty area."

"Kimmich also received a yellow card for this. It was less than 5 minutes before he was substituted..."

"Ah, what happened on the field? Kimmich seemed to be accusing Hazard of diving, and the two quarreled!"

There was a bit of confusion on the field.

Kimmich and Hazard are exhaling their heads together, while the players on both sides are busy fighting.

After all, the foul wasn't too big, and there was no reason to quarrel.

As for the players on Bayern's side, Kimmich received a yellow card as soon as he came on the field. If he received another yellow card because of a quarrel, wouldn't it be a big loss?
So pull it off.

Since the quarrel was near the sideline, the substitute players who were warming up outside the sideline also joined the ranks of persuading the quarrel.

Kimmich's German national team teammate Gretzka stretched out his strong arms and pulled Kimmich aside, persuading:

"Chicken, forget it..."

Of course, the more important thing is that the head coaches of both sides are also scolding their players to go away.

"Play well, don't make trouble for me!"

This is almost the common wish of Pan Yi and Guardiola.

They all hope to show the best skills and tactics in such a peak duel today, instead of wasting time and energy in such talk.

So the game quickly returned to normal.

Although a little reluctant, Kimmich hugged and shook hands with Hazard, representing reconciliation.

Hazard prepares to take the free kick.

Although the ball is not far from the goal, the angle is very biased and it is not suitable for a direct shot.

So he is going to play a match with his teammates.

As for how to cooperate...

Now several header grabbers including Van Dijk, David Luiz, Ake and others have entered the penalty area, and it seems that they are about to kick a high ball to compete for the top.

Hazard also raised his left hand, signaling his companions to pay attention.

Then, he ran up and kicked the ball out!
But somewhat surprisingly, Hazard did not pass the ball into the penalty area.

The ball fell to the top of the Bayern Munich penalty area.

Is this another long-range shooting tactic?
I saw Harry Kane running towards the ball, as if he was about to shoot.

Robben, who stayed at the top of the arc, was going to defend, but Kimmich also reacted.

Eager to make a contribution, he immediately left Lukaku, who he was defending, and rushed directly to Harry Kane.

But Harry Kane was a fake pass. He first used a beautiful fake move to trick Kimmich, and then went straight to the front.

What he passed was Lukaku who was unguarded at this time!
Then, Lukaku shot straight away!

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"Lukaku finally scored!!!"

"It was a wonderful free-kick combination! It was also a wonderful combination of Chelsea's front three."

"Hazard passed the ball to Harry Kane, who was plugging in behind. After this action attracted Kimmich's attention, Harry Kane passed it to the unguarded Lukaku!"

"Lukaku didn't waste the expectations of the two teammates and calmly sent the ball into the goal."

"One to zero!!!"

"We can see the wonderful process of the whole goal from the slow motion playback."

"Kimmich was probably responsible for the goal because he was a bit out of position trying to block Harry Kane and Lukaku was left wide open. And when the ball was at Lukaku's feet, there was nothing he could do about it. Going back to the goal for the first time."

"If Kimmich does not miss the ball, let Robben go to block Harry Kane, maybe the ball will not be so easy to pass to Lukaku's feet."

"Considering that the free-kick opportunity was also due to a foul by Kimmich, he was really unlucky for the conceded goal."

"However, we can't be too harsh on this young player. Compared with the captain Lahm, there is still a certain gap between his current ability and Lahm's end. The loss caused by Lahm's end is still very big."

"Guardiola must also feel very helpless about this, because he doesn't have many choices. Due to Bayern's high-pressure tactics in the first half, coupled with the pressure caused by Chelsea now, Lahm is indeed unsustainable..."

At the moment when Lukaku calmly pushed and scored, the entire San Siro stadium was completely boiled.

The blue waves cover the red and become the main color of this stadium!

On the sidelines, Pan Yi was so excited that he clenched his fists high and kept yelling at the players on the court, expressing his inner excitement.

He knew that his judgment was right.

Kimmich's side is indeed a breakthrough point!
It's just that he didn't expect it to work so quickly!
And this goal, which came late in more than 60 minutes, is indeed very important to Chelsea!
Opening the record for the first time undoubtedly broke the balance of power on the court.

This is undoubtedly a very ideal result for Chelsea, who began to control the rhythm of the game from the second half.

If there is no goal and the stalemate continues, it is hard to say what will happen later.

So Pan Yi is still very excited about this goal.

"Good job, guys!" Pan Yi hugged Lukaku who was running towards him, and was hugged tightly by Hazard, Harry Kane and others who followed him.

"Keep working hard, keep this state, you can keep scoring goals!"

With Pan Yi's encouragement, everyone's morale was boosted even more. After all the players applauded in unison, they turned back to the court.

But in front of the coaching bench of the visiting team, it was not as lively as here.

Guardiola looked very depressed.

Doesn't he know that Kimmich's mentality and state are still difficult to adapt to this intensity and level of competition?

But if you don't replace Ram, the result will only be worse.

After all, a veteran without physical strength will only become a breakthrough point for opponents on the court.

I can only hope that the teenager will get the hang of it soon.

So, while Chelsea was celebrating, Guardiola grabbed Kimmich by the collar and loudly reminded him of the precautions on the field.

"Pay attention to your emotions! Pay attention to your position! Don't lose your position! Remember it for me!"

"If you mess around again, I'll still replace you!"

"I believe you will adjust! I told you that you can take over Lahm's class in the future, and you can become the new captain of Bayern! Do you understand!"

Kimmich was just a kid who made a mistake at this time, he dared not move, he could only nod obediently.

He really regrets it now, why didn't he listen to what the big brothers said earlier...
