Chapter 165 Lightning Strike of Classic Positional Warfare

The scoreboard at the Mass Arena showed the score was 1:0.

The home team Wolfsburg lead.

Bayern, who fell behind in the score, tried a variety of offensive tactics, but all failed.

Head coach Pep Guardiola stood in the technical area commanded by the coach of the visiting team and hurried around, but the more anxious he was, the less he could think of a solution.

Wolfsburg, which has the advantage of home court, did not expose any problems even in passive defense, which made the Bayern players who organized the offense very depressed.

Xavi Alonso, Thiago, Arjen Robben, Lewandowski and other Bayern stars all put their hands on their hips in the subsequent dead ball, and their depressed expressions were just captured by the live director.

PP sports commentator Zhan Junlang said: "Bayern's continuous attack does not seem to have any effect in front of Wolfsburg. The game is about to come to 10 minutes. It is a big taboo in football games."

"It is indeed the case. There is a lot of thunder and little rain. First, the Bayern players have adapted to the continuous offensive rhythm. Secondly, the inertial thinking brought about is very serious. It is very likely that they will ignore the key players of the opponent when they switch from offense to defense. That's how it happened with Wolfsburg's opening goal."

Guest commentator Li Yuankui said.

Although Guardiola didn't think of a good way on the offensive end, he had countermeasures on the defensive end.

Whether it is defense or switching from offense to defense, we must focus on Martin's activity area.

With this change, Bayern's offensive has declined, but it has directly killed the possible problems of switching from offense to defense in the cradle.

This also caused Wolfsburg to attack more positions.

Martin organized the attack in series in the midfield, and De Bruyne was able to fully participate in the forward attack.

In addition to sending a very threatening pass again, he also threatened Neuer to guard the goal with high-quality long shots.

Bayern also completed two shots, which were completed by Lewandowski and Thomas Muller.

However, the shots were all completed under strict marking, resulting in poor shot quality.

In a blink of an eye, the game time came to 10 minutes.

The scoreboard still showed Wolfsburg leading Bayern 1-0.

The Wolfsburg fans in the auditorium were ecstatic, dancing and venting the ecstasy brought about by their favorite team leading the score.

Guardiola was pacing back and forth in the coaching area of ​​the visiting team, frowning in thought, and looking up at the field from time to time, hoping that the tactics arranged before the game would work before the end of the first half.

For this German Super Cup, he ended his vacation a week early.

Targeted deployment based on the methods Wolfsburg is good at at both ends of the offense and defense. Unexpectedly, the opponent has developed a new trick, making Martin the most critical player to participate in the offense.

It is a century-old problem for players who join the offense after defending.

Of course, not every time you step in and participate in the offense, you will score a goal, and you need to wait for a specific opportunity.

So, Guardiola was refreshed.

Since it is difficult to guard against Martin's back-up and participation in the attack, then... just hit the space behind him and take part in the attack?
Although Black Gold has protected Martin's exposed space after participating in the offense, the player in place is not Martin after all.

Totally... operational!
Guardiola, who had cleared his mind, waited until the dead ball opportunity appeared, and he called Thiago to the sidelines to teach him the opportunity.

Hei Jin keenly captured the communication between Guardiola and Thiago, his brows were frowned, and he didn't know what countermeasures Guardiola had come up with.

The Bayern players on the field unconditionally implement the tactics arranged by Guardiola, but to complete the tactics also requires a specific environment.

Guardiola changed his tactics, but it was very close to the end of the first half, and he didn't really expect the team to equalize before the end of the first half.

It is also acceptable for him to end the first half with the existing score.

It's just that sometimes luck comes, and it can't be stopped.

The game time came to the end of the first half, and Wolfsburg got the opportunity to switch from defense to offense.

According to the tactics formulated before the game, Martin captured the opportunity to advance and participate in the attack. He and his teammates played wonderful two-for-one cooperation in a row, using the absolute speed advantage to send the football passed by De Bruyne to attack the right rib.

Alabara didn't hold back, and could only watch Martin cut the ball from the right sideline of the penalty area into the penalty area.

The left central defender Benatia had to pull out to defend. Martin caught up with the football with two strides, and swept the pass with his right foot.

Dost rushed in front of Boateng to complete a close-range push.

The Wolfsburg fans in the stands were on their feet, ready to celebrate Dost's goal.

Just at the critical moment, Neuer instinctively stretched his left leg while his body center of gravity was tilted to the right. Unexpectedly, he just blocked the football kicked by Dost to the right side of the goal.

Benatia, who turned back to the goal, threw the ball back to the right with his head.

Alaba first blocked the position, blocked Vierrinia behind him, and then used his forehead to rub the ball to Thiago on the left, who then threw the football pad that fell to the height of the calf to Douglas Costa in front of the left.

Sebastian Rong realized that the situation was wrong, and he wanted to use a foul to stop Bayern's quick counterattack.

Douglas Costa had expected it a long time ago. He made a gesture to break through along the left sideline, but actually braked suddenly on the spot, and then used the outer instep of his right foot to push the ball to the right.

The super explosive power is fully revealed at this moment.

He started on the spot and broke through the weak side of Sebastian Rong's defense.

Hei Jin, who was standing in the technical area commanded by the coach of the home team, suddenly realized that the situation was not good. The fans in the auditorium were the most direct. They booed loudly and tried to interfere with Douglas Costa's dribbling.

As soon as Naldo left the defense zone to cover the defense, Douglas Costa and Lewandowski came to a two-for-one cooperation.

Douglas Costa, who was running without the ball, increased his speed to the extreme, overtaking on the outside, and then led the ball to the middle.

Tim Klose had no choice but to hand over the heavy responsibility of defending Lewandowski to Ricardo Rodriguez, passively filling the position.

Douglas Costa, who took the ball to attack the left rib and was about 30 meters away from the bottom line, saw Tim Klose approaching quickly, and passed the football to the front right with the outer instep of his right foot.

Lewandowski, who participated in the attack at high speed, had a fake run to the left front, which tricked Ricardo Rodriguez to tilt his center of gravity to the right, and then used the inside of the instep of his right foot to move the ball to the right front, from the opponent's Move in the opposite direction and speed up to bring the ball to the front of the penalty area.

"Robert Lewandowski!!"

With a shout from Marcel Leif, the commentator of German Sky TV, Lewandowski dribbled the ball into the penalty area with unabated speed.

Goalkeeper Benaglio defies the goal.

Lewandowski, who has high hopes from Bayern fans all over the world, did not disappoint. He adjusted his pace as soon as he entered the penalty area and shot furiously.

The kicked football is powerful and heavy, like a shell that has been released from the chest.

Benalio's pupils shrunk slightly, watching the football that suddenly appeared in his sight, before he had time to make a save, he felt something whistling past his ears...

Immediately afterwards, the Bayern fans who accompanied the team on the expedition uttered a tsunami-like violent loud cry.

"Goooooooooooal—"

German Sky TV commentator Marcel Leif's iconic elongated voice resounded through the commentary: "Before the end of the first half, Lewandowski helped Bayern equalize the score!!"

The Bayern players on the field were very excited and finally scored again against Wolfsburg.

Martin, who chased back to the 30-meter area defended by his side at high speed, had his hands on his hips, feeling very helpless.

He also knows that stepping in and participating in the offense will bring hidden dangers to the defense, but this is the case in modern football game tactics.

Participating in the offense is a very important way to break the deadlock in modern football. It can only be said that Dorst's ability to seize opportunities in front of goal this season is not as good as last season.

Every push from six yards in front of the goal was saved by Neuer.

Had it been a goal rather than a margin of error, the result would have been exactly the opposite.

It's 2:0 instead of 1:1.

With the strongest system in the greenery, he will naturally not be content to stay on one-acre three-point land. He wants to move forward and get closer to the goal.

The first goal of the season gave him a very nice feeling and he loved it.

Selfless assists certainly feel good, but the ecstasy brought by personal goals is incomparable to assists.

Just over 45 minutes into the game when Bayern ended their goal celebration, the fourth official held up the electronic card for 1 minute of stoppage time.

Wolfsburg coach Hei Jin came to the sidelines to encourage the players on the field.

The game restarts.

Wolfsburg, who gained the kick-off advantage, played steadily under Martin's deliberate control of the rhythm, and completed the offensive advancement by slowly passing forward.

However, there was very little game time left for them in the first half. After Sebastian Rong completed a low-quality cross from the right and was ejected from the penalty area by Boateng, the referee was on duty. Blüch blew his whistle to signal the end of the first half of the game.

"beep~"

"The end of the first half! Bayern equalized the score at the end of the first half, 1:1."

PP sports commentator Zhan Junlang said: "I believe the second half will be even more exciting after the 15-minute intermission!"

The on-site director gave Martin a close-up shot, and the commentator Li Yuankui said: "Martin's performance in the first half was very good, and he made great contributions on both ends of the offense and defense. The situation will be different for sure, but Wolfsburg have home advantage, Martin is in very good form and will definitely continue his excellent form in the second half."

Visiting team locker room.

Guardiola waited for the players to enter the locker room. He clapped his hands vigorously to encourage the players: "In the second half, we will play as before the end of the first half. If we catch them, they will switch from offense to defense. I believe you have the ability to overtake the score! Guys, are you confident?"

"certainly!!"

The Bayern players shouted in unison.

After a 15-minute intermission, the players from both sides returned to the public arena to prepare for the second half of the game.

Both Heijin and Guardiola recognized the performance of their respective players in the first half, so neither made adjustments.

Easy to fight again.

Wolfsburg, which has the kick-off advantage, changed its usual step-by-step approach and directly played a long pass to the left of the attack after Martin received the football.

Perisic is 1.8 meters [-], a full nine centimeters taller than Kimmich. He jumped high during the forward drive and gave the ball to De Bruyne who came forward to respond.

Faced with the pressure of Xavi Alonso, De Bruyne kicked the ball back, and then passed the ball to Martin on the right side of the arc through Gustavo.

Martin stopped and took a trip, passing Muller who was robbed.

Douglas Costa saw the opportunity and jumped up. Martin dunked the ball to the left on the inside of the instep of his right foot. While dunking the ball forward on the inside of the instep of his left foot, he stepped forward with his right foot to resist the forward Douglas Costa. tower.

If it was last season, Martin would definitely be turned on his back by the person who hit him, but as the strength value reached [80], his physical strength increased greatly, but his feet were a little staggered.

Immediately afterwards, he used the outer instep of his right foot to flick the ball to Vierinha who was close to the right sideline.

After completing the pass, he advances decisively and participates in the team's overall offense.

Guardiola, who was standing in the technical area commanded by the coach of the visiting team, was overjoyed at first, and then frowned within two seconds.

It is impossible for Hei Jin to fail to see that the equalizing goal came from Martin's open space exposed. At the beginning of the second half, Martin still decisively participated in the attack...

"what's the situation?"

Guardiola is a little puzzled.

But he didn't continue to delve into this issue, and his focus was still on switching from defense to offense, to see if he could catch the space behind Martin again.

Vierinha received the ball without trying to break through Alaba, but quickly passed the ball laterally to the left.

Martin, who decisively advanced to participate in the attack, appeared in the passing route, and Thiago, who had been on guard for a long time, made up for it.

Martin stepped forward with his left foot to buckle the ball to his right foot, and his right shoulder sank, making a gesture to speed up the ball forward to the right. In fact, he used the inside of the instep of his right foot to buckle the ball to the left, that is, Tiago moved in reverse. direction.

The inside of the instep of his left foot took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball in the direction of his body, and his excellent explosive power was also fully reflected at this moment.

Thiago, who rushed over his head, stretched out his right foot reflexively and only kicked a ball of air.

Martin originally planned to pass the ball to Dost, who was running towards the penalty area, but he caught Xavi Alonso rushing towards him out of the corner of his eye and changed his strategy.

Xavi Alonso filled the position, and De Bruyne in the middle became unmarked.

Just when he was about to pass the ball, something suddenly came to his mind.

With such rich experience in the game, how can he ignore De Bruyne, who is a potential support?
There are fried!

It was too late, but Martin made full use of the flexibility of his ankles to feint.

Xavi Alonso, always watching De Bruyne, moved to the right at the moment of Martin's pass and appeared in the passing lane.

"Oops!"

But Martin did not pass the ball directly to De Bruyne. Instead, he used the outer instep of his right foot to move the ball to the right lightly, adjusted his foot slightly, and quickly pushed the ball forward with the arch of his right foot.

De Bruyne has a very good understanding with Martin. When he saw Martin feint, he decisively ran towards the space behind Alonso, and appeared in Martin's passing route.

Martin's arch push angle is very particular, and De Bruyne is omitted to make adjustments.

So, De Bruyne adjusted in small steps, and consciously looked up at the position of goalkeeper Neuer.

Where can the left central defender Benatia see this?
When Alonso was out of position, he immediately stepped forward to block De Bruyne, who was making a long-range shot.

Unexpectedly, he had just taken two steps up and hadn't made a blocking action yet. De Bruyne, who made a long-range shot, made a fake shot and made a real pass. The outer instep of his right foot was put down and the football was pushed to the right.

"Hold the grass!"

Guardiola's pupils in the coach's command area of ​​the visiting team shrunk, thinking of the team's first conceded goal.

Martin, who advanced at high speed, led De Bruyne's football to the penalty area.

Douglas Costa, who was chasing back at full speed, fell to the ground and shoveled and only kicked into a cloud of air. Alaba was too late to retract, so he could only watch helplessly as Martin waded the ball into the penalty area at the front of the penalty area on the right.

"Single knife!"

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun shouted emotionally.

The right central defender Boateng is too far away, and it is unrealistic to defend Martin. Goalkeeper Neuer decisively abandons the goal and attacks.

While lowering the body's center of gravity, he also paid special attention to Martin's step frequency movements.

Unexpectedly, Martin had no plans to make a breakthrough this time.

Facing the attacking Neuer, he used the arch of his right foot to pass the ball to the left rear.

"Kevin De Bruyne!!"

The scene broadcast by the live director covered the entire Bayern restricted area. Marcel Lefka, the commentator of Sky TV in Germany, appeared on the lower left edge of the Hainan Island screen, and a green figure appeared, and his voice suddenly increased by an octave!

Neuer, who turned his head and followed the movement of the football, was instantly desperate.

His line of sight happened to see De Bruyne, who had crossed the penalty area line, adjust his pace, kicked the football passed by Martin towards the unguarded empty goal with his swung right foot...
