Super Storm

On the evening of April 23, at 20:30, Madrid, Spain.

The stands of the Bernabeu Stadium are very steep, giving a very strong sense of oppression. The stacked stands are full of black crushed people, densely packed, they make a deafening noise, sweeping every space of the stadium.

Under the leadership of the referee Weber, the two teams entered the Bernabeu.

The turbulent waves created by more than 80,000 fans made the players of the two teams suddenly feel that the gladiator entered the **** arena and the matador entered the colosseum, which caused tension and pressure.

No one will doubt that this will definitely be a classic matchup between top teams!

Bayern Munich under Guardiola is like the Barcelona he once coached. Any fan can recognize at a glance only a few minutes of Bayern Munich. This is the style of football that belongs to Guardiola and belongs to Barcelona. .

Real Madrid has a variety of styles, including Italian-style solid defense and sharp and impactful counterattacks. At the same time, this team can also be patient, calm, and slow to control ...

If Guardiola made a deep impression on Bayern Munich and made his own traditional style and characteristics, then what Ancelotti created in Real Madrid is that there is no fixed style.

So in recent seasons, Real Madrid's tactics have changed, and the formation has changed from four two three one to four three three. Cerotti sometimes even uses a variety of tactical formations in a game, depending on the situation.

These are two very different teams, but they are also one of the strongest teams in football today.

Such a showdown, such a collision, will only appear in a stadium like the Champions League.

...

The two teams walked into the court, and the starting lineup of the two sides was already very obvious.

The home team Real Madrid still discharged the most familiar, but also the best four three three formation.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, the back line is Marcelo, Xavi Martinez, Ramos and Carvajal, after the midfield is Mascherano, David Silva and Modric's combination, front trident is Hazard, Yang Yang and Di Maria.

Players including Isco and Suarez were placed on the bench.

Guardiola's game is out of a double-double waist formation of four two three one.

The goalkeeper is Neuer, the back line is Araba, Dante, Boateng and Rafinha, the double back is Schweinsteiger and Ram, the frontcourt is Ribery, Tony Cross and Thomas Muller, the single forward is Mandzukic.

This is also an important starting lineup for Bayern Munich this season. That is to replace the original right-back Lahm to the lower back position, because he is currently one of the few Bayern Munich teams that can meet Guardiola against the lower back. The requested player.

But in this way, the right-back is going to be Rafinha, the Brazilian right-back is not stable.

Real Madrid has also made a targeted plan for this. If Ram plays the right back, Real Madrid will start to grab the midfield, but if Ram returns to the midfield, Real Madrid will give up the midfield appropriately, but the attack Will attack Rafinha's side.

There are pros and cons in everything, and Ancelotti's best is also to watch the food and make his own tactics based on the opponent's situation.

Therefore, after seeing Bayern Munich's starting lineup, Real Madrid has decided the strategy and tactics of the game.

…………

…………

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid took a solid tactical approach.

Bayern Munich is mainly anti-guest, actively fighting for possession, but the home team Real Madrid does not mean this.

Ancelotti's pre-game tactics are very clearly arranged. Real Madrid's defensive weakness lies in the full-back defender's gap after the attack, so after the opening, Real Madrid's main idea is still to stabilize, and strive to not give Bayern Munich a goal to score away .

As for the possession of the ball by Bayern Munich, Real Madrid does n’t mind, because every time they play Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid has not competed for possession. Basically, they are playing defensive counterattacks. This is Real Madrid ’s masterpiece. Everyone knows how to play .

Guardiola's coaching ability has been evident from the beginning of the game, because Bayern Munich's midfielder is forced to oppress, and it has the shadow of Barcelona, ​​even stronger than the current Barcelona.

Because Harvey and Iniesta are old, but German players such as Schweinsteiger and Lahm have stronger tactical execution.

This kind of forced siege seems to be very simple, that is, using the local number advantage to **** the ball, but it is actually very difficult, and the risk is not small. Once it cannot be grabbed, it is easy to be attacked sharply by the opponent.

However, from the standpoint of the opening few minutes, Bayern Munich is still doing quite well, and the Real Madrid midfielder's forcing and blocking is more successful. Ram and Schweinsteiger's double back combination has made a great contribution.

...

"No wonder Guardiola would rather leave a flaw on the right and move Ram to the midfield." Ancelotti nodded and praised.

Zidane also nodded, and the player Ram was indeed very comprehensive.

As a defender, he is the world's top full-back, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the top three. What is more terrifying is that he has top and left wing. It's scary.

He appears in the midfield midfielder position, mainly because he is comprehensive and stable enough.

In Barcelona's tactical system, the midfielder position is the hub. The first requirement is to be stable. This is why Guardiola gave up Yaya Touré and chose Busquets, not because of strength, but Busquets. More stable.

On the offensive end, Ram's passing ability is very strong and stable, running without the ball is also very smart, not tall, fast and flexible, and his defensive ability is also very good. Control of the scene is also in place.

Sometimes, for players in the lower back position, you can't rely on the sense or the data. Simply look at the comparison.

Like Ram, with or without him, how does Bayern Munich perform?

This is the most intuitive comparison.

In this game, Bayern Munich can control the scene from the beginning, and Ram and Schweinsteiger, as well as Tony Kroos, the three midfielders have made great contributions.

This also surprised Zidane somewhat, because he found out that there were also such excellent midfielders among German players, and before that, everyone had doubts about Guardiola coaching Bayern Munich.

"After we stabilized our position, our counterattack began!" Ancelotti's eyes flashed sharply.

This is the tactic he arranged in the locker room before the game.

Seek stability in the opening, stabilize the defense, the formation is not chaotic, and then slowly look at the opportunity to fight back.

…………

…………

On the court, players on both sides have contacts with each other.

The first shot of the audience appeared in the fifth minute. Thomas Muller took the ball on the right and Tony Cross shot a long shot, but Casilla easily confiscated it and failed to form a threat.

But Bayern Munich still firmly controls the situation and possession of the court.

"The game took ten minutes. We saw the latest statistics. Real Madrid played a bit passive tonight, or should be said, Ancelotti's team is a bit conservative. Since the opening, there has not been a shot. This is It's hard to believe. "

"Not only that, Real Madrid's possession rate is only 10%, which is undoubtedly quite scary. Isn't Ancelotti's team thinking about winning opponents at home?"

The live TV commentator was very surprised by the game after the opening, because Real Madrid's performance is completely different from the usual, even more conservative than when facing Barcelona, ​​which cannot be explained.

You know, this is at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Of course, ten minutes didn't see anything at all.

The pace of the game is very fast, ten minutes is just a blink of an eye.

Only Real Madrid players on the field know that they have been adapting to Bayern Munich's pass and control of the ball, the midfielder and the attacking rhythm of the frontcourt.

Real Madrid's experience is very rich, so they can quickly become familiar with the opponent's means and rhythm.

Guardiola brought Bayern Munich to Barcelona's pass and control and high pressure, but also brought Bayern Munich to Barcelona's lethal weakness, that is slow!

This is a terrible problem that has always existed since Barcelona.

Or it should be said that for a coach like Guardiola who sees the ball as his life, the first thing they do after grabbing the ball is not to fight back, but to first firmly control the ball and then go Thinking how to fight back.

Real Madrid is slowly adjusting its defense to make the midfield and backcourt defense more flexible and change, to adapt to the organization and attack of Bayern Munich, and waiting patiently for opportunities.

In the 14th minute, Bayern Munich made another attack. Ribery made a direct pass. Thomas Muller turned and volleyed from the front of the penalty area. Ramos blocked the bottom line and gave Bayern Munich a corner kick.

However, this corner of the German team failed to make good use of, Schweinsteiger's header was easily embraced by Casillas.

By the twentieth minute, Bayern Munich was still in control of the situation, with an 80% possession rate.

The two full-backs also started to move forward. Rafinha took the ball on the right, Mandzukic headed to the ferry, and the ball was pushed back from the back point to the front point. Tony Cross inserted back and volleyed in front of the goal The shot was blocked by Harvey Martinez and blocked the ball to the left.

Marcelo took the lead out of the penalty area, after grabbing the ball, passed forward to David Silva.

The Spanish midfielder pulled the ball to the left side of the line and turned to just take it forward, but saw Marcelo quickly inserted from the inside line. He immediately grasped the goal and passed the ball straight to Hazard on the left.

The Belgian winger also took the ball on the left line. After stopping the ball, he immediately took the ball forward and pulled Rafinha out. Then he passed the ball diagonally and sent the ball to the left side outside the penalty area.

At this time, Marcelo ran all the way, suddenly appeared behind Borafina, diagonally inserted into the left side of the penalty area at the fastest speed.

Real Madrid's chance to fight back is here!
