Chapter 114: Endowing Temperament

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Bayern Munich made substitutions in the first half, which meant that the development on the field had exceeded the expectations of coach Heynckes. This substitution was also a helpless move.

Heynckes cannot guarantee whether it will be effective, but he understands that Bayern Munich must make some changes at this time, otherwise the central axis will be smashed into a sieve.

Two veterans came on the field, and Bayern's playing style became cautious.

However, the positive effect brought by the two veterans is not that great.

When they faced off against the Arsenal midfielder dominated by Lucky, although they were able to hold on to a certain forward passing ability, they were not threatening enough.

But even so, this is much better than the previous state.

At least the cooperation between the two wings and the center can be played from time to time.

"Can Vidal be more aggressive? He can take a few more steps forward to play the ball!"

Vidal's playing style is much safer, with almost one touch of the ball. Unless there is a big and good gap for him to pass the ball with confidence, he will almost never choose to pass.

This cautious style of play is not particularly suitable for the current Bayern Munich.

They need a player who can penetrate Arsenal's midfield.

The German commentator was also worried about this.

But after he finished speaking, he sighed suddenly.

In fact, this is an extravagant hope. Searching the entire football world, there are only a handful of players who can break through Arsenal's midfield.

And this also makes Bayern Munich's situation become more passive.

On the other hand, after Arsenal took the lead, they became more calm and calm in handling the ball.

Arsenal is not the kind of team that enjoys great success and will go wild after gaining an advantage.

After gaining the lead, although the overall playing style became a little more relaxed, it was still very sophisticated in details.

The most important thing is that Lucky and Ramsey exchanged positions.

Lucky retreated to serve as a defensive midfielder and formed a midfield defensive response with Kanter, which also made Bayern Munich's offense a little more difficult.

"Arsenal played too cautiously!"

Paul Merson grinned slightly. There will be a period of relaxation after scoring a goal. This is also the reason why many players will lose the ball immediately after scoring a goal.

But you can't see these things in Arsenal.

Wenger on the side also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

With a captain who is obsessed with winning, a team will slowly be assimilated.

Wenger knows better than anyone what kind of character Lucai is.

Once he gets an advantage, this guy will become an absolute defender!

Unless the coach orders him to move forward, he won't take anyone out of his own half.

And with such a cautious captain, the team's style will slowly develop in this direction.

It can be said that Arsenal's current priority is defense, followed by offense.

But Arsenal's defense was so good that the players in the frontcourt became eager to move.

Aubameyang continued to advance and retreat, and his performance was quite positive.

The same situation applies to Mane on the other wing.

The two pose a great threat to Bayern Munich's wing.

Lukaku is rooted in the opponent's defense and frequently creates shooting opportunities.

Lukaku is different from Giroud in that his offense is more direct and fatal.

Therefore, Bayern Munich must prevent Lukaku from touching the ball as much as possible.

But after collisions after collisions, Bayern Munich's morale was already hindered, and their physical fitness in passive defense was also declining.

At least the center back pairing of Boateng and Süle is out of breath.

It was obviously the two of them who were defending Lukaku, but in the end it was them who gasped from exhaustion.

Soon, the game entered a stalemate stage.

The rhythm of both sides suddenly slowed down.

The fans were also stunned for a moment. They didn't know why both teams suddenly relaxed.

They didn't realize it until the referee blew the halftime whistle.

But soon, their expressions became wonderful.

Why does 45 minutes pass so slowly?

Both sides played too many offensive and defensive transitions and shots in the first half, which caused them to feel that the game was extremely slow.

But the game process is still very exciting.

"The ball can't come out of midfield!"

"We played too passively!"

"Guys, we need to fight hard. Losing means elimination!"

"Don't always focus on passing the ball from the side. You can try passing it directly to me!"

After the Bayern Munich players entered the locker room, dissatisfaction broke out one by one.

Throughout the first half, they were in incomparable torment.

The pace of the game was just not right.

There was too much pressure on the back line, the midfield was a bit messy, and the frontcourt couldn't catch the ball.

Especially after Arsenal scored, this feeling became even more obvious.

"Why don't you dare to pass the ball! Even if it is intercepted, you should try it when you see the opportunity!"

Robben suddenly spoke up.

This sentence made Bayern's main players quiet down.

Yes!

That's the truth.

Throughout the first half, their passing was too sluggish.

"You are afraid of being intercepted, so you hesitate every time you pass the ball, and this also causes problems in the entire passing system. The wingers cannot catch the ball, and the threats to the goal and shooting opportunities are greatly reduced!"

Every word of Robben hurt them.

But this is the fact, and they can't refute it.

At this time, head coach Heynckes also came in.

He had been listening to the players' words in front of the goal, and came in when they were almost venting.

"Robben is right. Our biggest problem in the first half was the delay in passing. Everyone has a fearful mentality, especially when facing an Arsenal team that is particularly good at stealing. Your mentality is understandable!"

"But this is not the reason why you choose to give up in front of the opportunity!"

Heynckes said slowly; "Everyone present has come all the way up through the youth training system. Think about your previous path. That time you didn't seize the opportunity and eliminate others to get to where you are now!"

"What I want to tell you is that this is not the end. Your career can become more brilliant."

Heynckes said solemnly: "And this requires a brave heart!"

The whole locker room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The faces of Bayern players showed thoughtful expressions.

Heynckes' words made them wake up.

Perhaps, they really should make some changes.

On the other side, in Arsenal's locker room, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

The Gunners were also communicating.

"It's right for us to defend, but we can't give up attacking completely!"

"Defense is the first priority, and we are better at defense than offense, and of course we won't give up attacking."

"The forwards are running too much, you have to save your energy and retreat to defend when it's appropriate, instead of doing it every time!"

Aubameyang panted and said, "One more person means one more strength. I always feel that if I don't retreat, we will lose the ball!"

Mane also nodded in agreement.

This made Hummels on the side annoyed; "Man, you insulted the entire defense line with this sentence!"

"Sorry!" Aubameyang waved his hand and said, "You know, I don't mean that! I just want to win too much!"

Jimenez; "Everyone wants to win, and we are already ahead. What we mean is that you should play smarter and spend more energy on the offensive end."

The main players were discussing.

The substitutes had no right to speak, so they could only listen quietly.

Saka had a look of astonishment on his face.

The defenders actually disliked the forwards' retreat to defend. When he played football before, the most common complaint from the defenders was that the forwards were not active in returning to defense.

In the main team, they were scolded for actively returning to defense.

This really made him a little confused.

"Okay, everyone shut up and rest. We played well in the first half. Let's continue in the second half!"

After calling a timeout, Mourinho named several substitutes to warm up.

Among them was Saka.

Saka also ran out of the locker room with a happy face to warm up.

Warming up may not necessarily lead to playing, but it is an opportunity after all, an opportunity to play in the Champions League.

This is extremely important for Saka.

During the halftime break, both teams made some changes, of course, the changes were not large.

For Bayern, they need to adjust their mentality the most.

And Arsenal needs to further expand the score while maintaining the advantage.
