Chapter 111 Passive Bayern

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

It is surprising that Neuer is on the bench, but even without Neuer, Bayern Munich is still a strong team.

Bayern Munich gets the first kick-off.

Come to Wandowski standing in the center circle ready to kick off.

The Arsenal players also quickly entered the game state, and their expressions became serious.

They must be vigilant. After all, Bayern may also make a sneak attack like Arsenal. Once the sneak attack is successful, the rhythm will be controlled by the opponent for a period of time. This is a situation that Arsenal does not want to see.

Beep!

!

The whistle sounded, and the promotion battle to determine the quarterfinals of the Champions League officially began.

After Wandowski kicked off the ball, he immediately ran forward.

Bayern Munich also pretended to play a fast attack and frequently raised their heads. However, they did not pass the ball forward, but still maintained the conduction method from the left and right sides.

But Arsenal did not dare to be careless and maintained a sufficiently vigilant position.

Ronaldo frequently picked up the ball and raised his head, but looking at the position of Arsenal's midfield line, they all blocked the necessary channels for their offense, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Can't these guys relax a little?

Ronaldo secretly complained and immediately distributed the ball to the wing.

The opening raid was hopeless, and they could only rely on the wing to carry out the attack.

As for the attack on the central axis, they never thought about it at all.

Arsenal's defensive idea is to defend the center and put the sides aside, and drive the opponent's players towards the wings.

Once Bayern really launches an attack towards the center, the offensive pressure that will come will increase exponentially, and Arsenal may even steal the ball and launch a quick counterattack.

Bayern Munich is not a tough guy, they will not do such a thankless thing.

Therefore, under the established rules of both sides, both sides are playing games on the wing.

Ribery and Muller have become Bayern Munich's most important breakthrough players.

Bayern's offense relies heavily on these two players.

Koeman, who joined this season, has good abilities, but his current position has not been fully integrated into the team. Compared with these young people, in terms of team cooperation, Heynckes believes that veterans are more useful.

This is also the reason why Heynckes started Ribery.

Furthermore, these veterans have rich experience. Although they can't run anymore, they know when to make what decisions. This is also the most important problem that Bayern Munich's frontcourt needs to solve.

Ronaldo gave the ball to Ribery. If he were a few years younger, Ribery would have definitely strode directly to the ball and used his speed to beat the opponent.

But now Ribery can no longer reach his peak style, and may even be directly defended to death by Bellerin.

For this reason, Ribery did not sprint towards the wing, but paused for a moment, waiting for Ronaldo to step forward, and then gave the ball to Ronaldo again to complete a simple one-two.

However, Ronaldo did not completely pass Kanter. Although Kanter was half a body behind, he still followed the opponent closely.

Bellerin also rushed towards Ronaldo. When a siege was about to form, Ronaldo could not find a channel to pass forward. He could only pass the ball back to ensure the ball.

"There is still a problem with Bayern Munich's advancement! When James holds the ball, other Bayern players cannot run into threatening positions or come to catch the ball!"

After Paul Merson finished speaking, Wenger on the side said: "It's not that they couldn't get into the position to catch the ball, but that the Gunners controlled every Bayern player in the frontcourt at the first time. If you observe enough If you look carefully, it’s not difficult to see Arsenal’s overall changes when Ronaldo holds the ball!”

"They are originally positioned in space. They get close to the offensive players immediately, rely on their numerical advantage to restrict them, and cut off Ronaldo's passing channels. This is Arsenal's common defensive routine."

Wenger saw the problem at a glance.

This defensive routine was very commonly used during Wenger's era, but Arsenal at that time was an offensive team, so the defense was not so stable.

In the hands of Mourinho, Arsenal's defense has undergone a qualitative change.

Judging from the details of this defense alone, it means not giving the opponent any space to pass or run.

It's like building a high wall in front of the other person!

In this case, the ball can only be guaranteed by passing back.

But when Bayern retreated, Arsenal followed suit.

Once you are bitten by Arsenal players, it is not so easy to get rid of them.

Arsenal as a whole started to move, and they pressed fiercely in the midfield and frontcourt.

This resulted in Bayern Munich's midfield playing very uncomfortable.

And every time they looked up and wanted to pass forward, Lucky, Kanter, and Ramsey magically appeared where they wanted to pass the ball, blocking the passing channel.

As time goes by, the pressure on Bayern Munich becomes even greater.

A minute later, Bayern could no longer withstand the pressure and could only reluctantly try to pass the ball forward, hoping for a lucky ball such as a crotch-piercing ball.

But luck didn't seem to concern Bayern Munich, and the ball was steadily intercepted by Lucky.

“Retreat!

——”

Seeing Lucky complete the interception, the Bayern players immediately became frightened.

They still remember Lucky's coquettish long passes, and they suffered enough from those precise long passes that seemed to have their own cruise aim.

Bayern Munich players quickly retreated, and Lekai also discovered this after adjusting, which made him give up the idea of ​​long passes.

Without anyone to restrict himself, Lekai began to dribble the ball slowly forward.

"This is too passive!"

Looking at the actions of Bayern players, the German commentator couldn't help but complain.

In fact, when Lekai received the ball, his heart also skipped a beat.

Not only him, but all Bayern fans who watched this game were like this.

Lekai left them with too bad memories, which also fostered their fear of Lekai.

Lekai led Bayern's elimination too many times, which is why Bayern players are afraid of Lekai.

Although they were scared to death, they were also angry when they saw Bayern players making such a "cowardly" decision.

Be cautious, but isn't this way of retreating a bit too face-saving?

But for the Bayern players on the field, what is face?

Once Lekai hits behind, the opponent's sideline forward and crosses the ball, and the ball is lost, it is the most embarrassing moment.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with being cautious!

There is nothing wrong with being a little timid.

With the "tacit consent" of Bayern Munich, Lekai carried the ball all the way into the opponent's half, and the opponent sent players to restrict him.

Although the restriction pressure was not great, Lekai still chose to split the side.

Use the side to involve the opponent's defense.

But after Bayern retreated, the number of people on the defense line increased, which also made it extremely difficult for Arsenal to penetrate.

"Pull it out!"

Lekai shouted to the front.

Mane decisively passed the ball back, and Lekai kicked the ball to the back line, allowing the defenders to control the ball.

And he was waiting to receive the ball and counterattack at any time.

After Arsenal passed the ball back, Bayern Munich did move forward, but the extent of the approach was not large, and most of the players remained in their own half.

Lekai saw this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Retreat deeper!"

Lekai gave the order helplessly.

Hummels and others also passed the ball while retreating to their own penalty area.

Now Bayern Munich was in trouble.

Can they get out or not?

In the end, they rushed into Arsenal's half.

Lekai also kept passing the ball, organizing the rhythm, and organizing with his back to the goal.

However, Lekai did not get rid of them because he saw that most of Bayern's players were still on the midfield line and were in a position where they could retreat at any time.

Lekai had to lure these people out.

Otherwise, Arsenal's attack could not penetrate.

The current Arsenal is not the same style of play as before, constantly conducting in the crowd.

Their current tactics are more inclined to be simple, so they need to create enough space when attacking.

And this running space needs to be created by themselves.

However, during the operation, Lekai found that Bayern Munich's playing style has changed a bit.

It is no longer as resolute as before, but has a lot of hesitation.

When passing the ball, this feeling of hesitation becomes stronger and stronger.

Of course, this is also why Lekai cannot be sure whether this is an illusion, so he did not pay too much attention to it.
