Chapter 427 Guardiola’s little thoughts

"Luo, I love you so much!"

After Muller scored, he quickly rushed towards Rossi, with burning passion in his eyes.

Rossi's wide movement not only took away the full-back, but also attracted the attention of the central defender.

So when the ball rotates to the center, Stones faces a 1v2 situation.

Of course, Koeman's pass was also timed just right, catching Stones off guard.

Yes yes, I love you too!

Rossi, who was dumbfounded, walked back to his defensive position after hugging Muller.

The total score was 4:3, but the rhythm on the field was still under Manchester City's control.

Manchester City won't make the same mistake twice.

Guardiola was a little angry about this conceding goal. How could his own defense be so easily penetrated by his opponent.

Also, what happened to Thiago’s pass that opened God’s Eye?

Miraculously a bit like Harvey.

In short, what just happened was completely beyond his expectation before the game.

After kick-off, Guardiola resumed his dancing command.

Multiple horizontal connection points on the offensive end are still the core of Manchester City's tactics.

They frequently use through balls in the ribs to attack the opponent's penalty area.

In the next ten minutes or so, Manchester City launched several attacks, but they were all resolved one by one by the tenacious Bayern.

When Bayern defends, its main purpose is to intercept the opponent's passing line and retreat layer by layer instead of blindly retreating.

The speed of Manchester City's counterattack was stifled in this way.

In the 32nd minute, Manchester City stole the ball in the backcourt and launched a fast break. David Silva, who took the ball in the midfield, had no option to pass the ball due to Bayern's orderly retreat.

He had no choice but to dribble the ball himself, drive towards the penalty area, and shoot long distance.

Of course, the quality of this shot is far from satisfactory.

Guardiola slowly discovered that although they had a lot of possession time, their rhythm was completely disrupted by Bayern.

The opponent cuts and compresses the space, blocking the passing space, leaving people with nowhere to use their power.

Such tactics will also cause Bayern to lack counterattack speed when attacking.

But now they are leading the total score. If they maintain this situation, they will advance.

The midfield whistle sounded soon, and the two sides quickly returned to the locker room with a score of 1:1.

At the Etihad Stadium, the home team's dressing room has a very good design.

The ring-shaped design means there are no cabinet doors blocking each other's wardrobes, allowing players to communicate face to face without any sense of distance.

Manchester City players can change their clothes while having effective barrier-free communication.

But now, what they need is instructions from coach Guardiola.

"Do you know why Messi is the best player I have ever seen in my life?"

When Guagua opens his mouth, he gets a critical hit.

Players also want to be Messi.

But there is only one Messi!

"Messi is a competitor, a beast. But now, we are looking around when passing the ball, not knowing what to do."

Guardiola walked to the tactical board, drew a circle on it with a pen, and continued: "When you pass the ball, you have to attack in the penalty area. If you have this desire to attack, the opponent's defense will be nervous."

"You have to attack and keep rushing in to attack!"

"Messi is like a machine, constantly advancing to attack, looking for opportunities, making opponents afraid of him, so that his teammates will have opportunities."

"When we lost the ball just now, why did Laporte have to help defend after Walker formed a defensive zone?"

"Aren't you just worried about Rossi's offensive ability?"

"You must also do this, keep attacking to break through the defense and score goals!"

"Do you understand everything?"

Although they couldn't become Messi, they could still complete this simple task, and they all nodded heavily.

But afterwards I felt something was wrong.

He openly praises Messi, but secretly praises Rossi.

Soon, the two sides entered the second half and Bayern kicked off.

Facing the short passing cooperation of Bayern's four defenses, Manchester City's three strikers immediately pressed forward and drove to one side.

As a result, the pressure on the two full-backs to play the ball suddenly increased.

At this time, the winger must retreat to respond.

During the halftime break, the Manchester City players, inspired by Guardiola, were more active and aggressive in pressing than before.

Every time he goes up for grabs, it's almost always a foul.

Gradually, the smell of gunpowder between the two teams gradually became stronger.

This kind of rhythm is not what Guardiola wants.

But he didn't stop it.

Because he saw in the players' eyes their strong desire to attack.

In the 50th minute, Gundogan intercepted the ball in midfield and headed straight into the penalty area.

Sane, who had a mediocre performance in the first half, used an arc movement to bypass Alaba from the outside and penetrate the penalty area diagonally.

Alaba was taken aback, but he underestimated the youngster's speed. He fell to the ground in advance and slid the ball to Neuer first.

Bayern responded immediately.

Neuer passed the ball to the other side, and the young player Gnabry, who also didn't perform much in the first half, ran wildly along the wing.

Heynckes and Guardiola looked at each other at the same time, checked their eyes, and each sneered.

Their thoughts are surprisingly consistent, focusing their offense on their own young players.

Manchester City's Danilo and Bayern's Alaba, known as the "colander", became the main direction of attack.

Rossi pulled to the wing and gave up the inside route to his teammates.

Gnabry suddenly shot a shot after cutting inside, and the ball missed the far post and rolled out of the baseline.

This kick may seem a little impatient, but it is actually done out of necessity.

Bayern, which has few shots on goal, needs someone to try and scare their opponents.

After Manchester City kicked off, they moved to the right and continued to look for Sane.

It is different from Bayern's tactics. Center forward Aguero retreats to support, and after bringing out the central defender, Sane is allowed to attack behind the central defender.

This not only tested Alaba, but also tested Alphonso Davies' awareness of offside at the far end.

In the 57th minute, De Bruyne came on as a substitute for Danilo.

This is a signal for Guardiola to step up his attack.

Just a minute later, De Bruyne was in the midfield, using his signature through ball to penetrate the Bayern defense from the ribs.

Sane forced an overtake from the outside and crossed into the penalty area.

Alaba thought he was offside and raised his hand to signal the referee.

But the linesman ignored it.

Sane, who formed a single shot, pushed the far corner with the arch of his foot and broke the goal guarded by Neuer.

【GOAL!!!!】

【Manchester City scored!!】

【Goal from Sane!】

[Although Bayern players were protesting, there was suspicion of offside at the moment De Bruyne passed the ball!]

[But the assistant referee’s eyes firmly conveyed it to the head referee!]

【No offside!】

[Although VAR technology has appeared in the World Cup, it has not yet been used in the Champions League!]

[We can only return to defense through slow motion to see if there is any offside! 】

【oops!】

【Knew it!】

[It was Alphonso Davis at the far end who was dragged behind!]

【This is a good ball!】

[Heynckes’ employment for this game is indeed open to question!]

[In other words, Manchester City is openly attacking Alaba, but is actually plotting against Davis!]

[If this is the case, Guardiola’s tactical arrangements are too detailed!]

【Clothes!】
Chapter completed!
