All-around center

The tide of the game began to tilt towards Real Madrid, and this was the advantage of scoring first.

Real Madrid used some pre-game arrangements and routines to gain an advantage in the game and use it to advance the game.

For these top teams, any small advantage, any offensive optimization of any line can be continuously used by them to snowball.

What's more, it's such a huge score advantage!

Of course, this does not mean that Bayern Munich has no chance at all.

Today's Bayern Munich coaching staff is also urgently discussing countermeasures. They know very well that they cannot let Real Madrid continue to play like this.

At the very least, this routine cannot continue.

They have to make some changes.

"The problem now is that Su Ke is hiding behind the striker, which means we need to spend more energy paying attention to him, but his role alternates between virtual and real. He can act as a hook bait, and at the same time he can also penetrate forward from the back to form a real Threatening to attack!"

Guardiola briefly explained the problem, and soon other members of the coaching staff also expressed their opinions.

Some people suggested giving up the first half, adopting conservative defensive options, waiting for adjustments during the halftime break, and then counterattacking for a comeback.

Some people also suggested that their offense is not strong enough and Real Madrid will focus more on offense, so the defense will inevitably be relatively weak.

Some people also say that they should make more use of counterattacks, taking advantage of the opportunity of Real Madrid's full-backs to move forward, quickly complete the siege, and then launch a counterattack.

Everyone had their own suggestions, but none of them hit the mark.

Guardiola looked down at the small tactical board in his hand, listening to everyone's suggestions in his ears, and his head was running at high speed.

Real Madrid's style of play is not a traditional 4-3-1-2 system, and Suker is not a classical attacking midfielder.

This is a product of the combination of old and new.

I can't say how mature the tactics are, but I have never seen them before, which is why they played very passively in the game.

But there are also some problems!

That is, this tactic still adheres to today's fast-paced playing style.

Real Madrid does not dare to slow down the pace of the game too much. If this happens, Bayern Munich will be able to punish Real Madrid with more intense pressing.

"Intensify the pressure!"

A young coach suddenly said.

Guardiola looked up and said slowly, "What exactly do you mean?"

The young coach continued: "Do you still remember the last round of the game? In the second game between Dortmund and Real Madrid, in the face of Dortmund's almost crazy pressing, Real Madrid finally failed to withstand the opponent's pressing pressure and conceded a goal. Yes, this shows that high-position pressing is still very effective against Real Madrid!”

"Their midfielder is not as strong as it looks. They will also have some problems when facing excessive pressure."

"I admit that Dortmund is a team that is very good at pressing high, and they are also very motivated, but on the counterattack end, our configuration is much better than Dortmund, and we are also better able to play threatening balls and seize opportunities."

After a pause, he looked at Guardiola and said: "Actually, I think we can learn some of Dortmund's playing styles. When we were at a loss, Dortmund had already given an answer."

Guardiola was lost in thought.

He is not a rigid person, and he has no so-called pride that prevents him from using Dortmund or Klopp's style of play.

But he needs to weigh the pros and cons.

This young coach has just joined the coaching staff and is also a coach brought over from the Netherlands by Guardiola.

Guardiola doesn't like to use German coaches very much. It's not that they are not good, but that most coaches have too rigid ideas, which makes it impossible to implement their own tactics.

Just like this time, the young man's proposal was indeed good.

In fact, Dortmund has already given some answers in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Faced with fierce pressing and swift counterattacks, even a team as strong as Real Madrid could not withstand it.

"Lewandowski!"

Guardiola suddenly turned around and shouted.

Lewandowski was watching the game from the bench when he was suddenly CUE'd and subconsciously shouted out.

Guardiola: "Go and warm up, get ready to play."

Lewandowski was shocked. He didn't expect to get the opportunity so soon, but he was still very happy and immediately ran out to warm up.

"Shall we let Lewan come in at this time?"

Another assistant coach wondered.

Guardiola: "Ronaldo needs someone to cover him!"

"Mandzukic can do it too!"

Compared to the newcomer Lewandowski, the German assistant coach still trusts the old man more, and Mandzukic's running-in with Bayern Munich is obviously better.

Guardiola shook his head: "Mario cannot give Ronaldo a definite cover."

"Both we and Real Madrid know very well that Mandzukic is a fulcrum center. Even if he is in the offensive position, his offensive performance will not be that intense."

"When Mario receives the ball, his first thought is to observe Ronaldo's position to see if the latter has a chance. This move will be used by Real Madrid to trap Ronaldo."

"Lewand is different. He really wants to attack. Although he is not as good as Mario in terms of ball making and pivoting, he can attract firepower for Ronaldo."

Phew~~~

Guardiola exhaled: "Real Madrid can use bait tactics, so can we."

"They can alternate between real and fake, and so can we!"

In the stadium, the game continued.

But at the 21st minute, taking advantage of a sideline ball, Bayern Munich stopped the game and made a substitution.

This move surprised everyone.

They made substitutions after losing a goal?

And at the 21st minute, isn't it a bit too early?

You know, after entering the second half, any substitution quota is very valuable.

However, thinking of Guardiola's unrestrained tactical thinking and unconventional substitution performance, they accepted it.

"Guardiola is going to make adjustments, but I don't know what he is thinking. He replaced Mandzukic and let Lewandowski come on the bench. I admit that Lewandowski is more threatening on the offensive end, but in terms of overall effect, Mandzukic is more outstanding."

The German commentator was puzzled.

Mandzukic also expressed his incomprehension. He was substituted after playing for only 21 minutes, and he did not make any obvious mistakes.

He was full of anger, but Guardiola kindly stopped Mandzukic's arm when Mandzukic left the field, asked about his well-being, and explained his thoughts.

Mandzukic was originally a gas tank, but he was resolved by Guardiola's sweet words.

The more he listened, the more he felt that Guardiola's idea was fine.

But at the same time, he was still a little frustrated.

He used to be a well-known No. 9 center forward, but now he has not only become a fulcrum, but also said to be non-aggressive.

In this regard, Mandzukic was very angry, but also helpless.

But anyone who wants to continue to survive in his position must make this choice.

In the club, Ronaldo is his teammate!

In the national team, Suker is his teammate!

How can you compete for the right to score in front of these two guys?

If you don't make some changes and adjust your style, you won't even be able to get a starting position at that time.

"Mario was substituted."

In a place in the Allianz Arena stands, Van Styak shook his head slightly.

He and Besic had just come to watch this game, on the one hand to observe the players' condition, and on the other hand to learn how to play in a large event like the Champions League.

After all, during the World Cup, the more tactical reserves, the more beneficial it is for them.

Just like Real Madrid now, some tactical routines can force Bayern Munich to use substitutions in the first half.

Besic looked at Mandzukic, his eyes full of complex emotions.

Mandzukic is definitely an excellent striker. If it weren't for Suker, he would be Croatia's true offensive arrow.

However, Suker is too dazzling and too strong.

Any player who wants to compete with Suker for offensive dominance must consider their own abilities and performance.

It's really impossible to compete!

Besic himself is also a player. He is a player of the golden generation, but he is not as dazzling as Davor Suker and others, but was eliminated early.

Therefore, he understands this kind of trade-off and the sadness of being lost in the crowd.

Some people are born to stand in the spotlight and deserve applause and cheers.

But more people constantly make adjustments and changes in their own situations, striving to be more "adaptable".

Undoubtedly, both Besic as a player and Mandzukic now are the latter!

In front of them, there is a dazzling "Suker".

"What a pity!" Besic sighed slowly.

He still remembers the Mario Mandzukic who was full of light, worked harder than anyone else in training, and was particularly persistent in attacking and scoring when he first came to Dinamo Salage.

The years have left deep marks on the boy's face, making him smooth and making him know how to make trade-offs. Van Styak didn't have that much affection for Mandzukic, so he calmly analyzed; "This is to let Lewandowski be the bait. Real Madrid can play a bait tactic of alternating real and fake. Bayern Munich is also using this method."

Besic turned his head and looked over: "If it were you, what would you do?"

Van Styak touched his chin: "First of all, I can't defend, which is useless. When the opponent has Suker, scoring is a matter of time, and defense is a chronic death, so we still have to control the initiative!"

"I think Dortmund has done a good job in this regard. Bayern Munich can lower their posture and learn from it. After all, they have a better lineup and counterattack ability than Dortmund."

As soon as the voice fell, Bayern Munich's pressing rhythm suddenly became intense in the field.

"Look!"

Van Styak pointed to the court happily; "What did I say!"

Besic also smiled and nodded. Although Van Styak was a little inadequate in management, he was very sensitive and imaginative in tactics.

This is why Van Styak became his most capable assistant.

At the same time, in the stadium, Real Madrid seemed to be very uncomfortable with the sudden increase in the pressing rhythm of Bayern Munich.

"Continuous shovels? How come these guys are the same as Dortmund!"

Bale got up from the ground. When he played against Dortmund, he was the most injured one. It seemed that he was the only one who was shoveled.

And now when playing against Bayern Munich, he is like this again.

As long as he receives the ball and passes it a little slowly, he will be greeted with continuous shovels.

"Pass the ball quickly, don't think about holding the ball!" Kroos reminded.

It is not difficult to see from this change that Bayern Munich will further speed up the rhythm, whether it is the rhythm of pressing or the rhythm of counterattack.

After experiencing the game against Dortmund, Real Madrid also understands that they can't bear too much pressing pressure.

What's more, Bayern Munich is more capable of counterattack than Dortmund.

Another problem is the back line.

After Lewandowski came on the court, Ramos and Pepe were separated.

Before, they were mainly focusing on Ronaldo.

But now, they have to separate one person to focus on Lewandowski.

There is no way!

After all, Lewan is different from Mandzukic. The latter is always thinking about how to pass the ball to Ronaldo, while the former is full of his own goals.

Because of this idea and subconscious action, Real Madrid's defense became more chaotic.

It can be said that what Dortmund failed to play at that time, Bayern Munich played out.

Ancelotti exhaled slowly.

Before the game, he prepared some, but Bayern Munich's adjustment was also very fast.

He didn't think of using these routines to win the game, but Bayern Munich's adjustment speed still surprised him.

Or, Guardiola's coaching team made the most correct choice.

If they take a conservative defensive posture, Real Madrid can stew frogs in warm water and kill them step by step.

But Bayern chose a more aggressive counterattack state, and the entry point was just right, which made Real Madrid have to think about the problem of being counterattacked when attacking.

Even their full-backs can't attack at will. Once they fail to return to defense in time, they will be caught by Bayern Munich.

Bayern really did it, using offense to offset defensive problems.

And this change in Bayern Munich also shows that the game has really started from this moment.

After a successful experience, Bayern Munich played more vigorously.

Especially the frequent running of the two wings and Lewandowski's baiting role, all of which put great pressure on Real Madrid's defense.

Ding!

Just as they were getting excited, a crisp sound rang out.

The sound scared them into a cold sweat.

Suker tried a long shot outside the penalty area, and the ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

Neuer made a save, but he couldn't touch the ball.

This long shot made the Bayern Munich players feel uneasy and more urgent.

Once the score gap was widened by Real Madrid, the consequences would be disastrous.

Suker stomped his feet with some regret, and the ball was not pressed well.

In fact, when he shot from a distance, Lahm on the side decisively interfered with the shovel, causing Suker to hastily kick and fail to adjust his posture.

The two did not have any contact, but still formed interference.

After all, in the field of football, the concept of "someone next to you" is enough to give a lot of pressure.

Suker can withstand the pressure, but it does not mean that he will not be affected by these things.

In this case, this high-quality long shot is still very valuable.

"Don't be affected! We played well, do our own things, guys, run!" Lahm got up from the ground and shouted loudly.

Although he was also scared in his heart, as the captain, he still had to cheer his teammates.

Bayern Munich quickly kicked the goal kick.

When actively attacking, Bayern Munich is also very fierce.

Guardiola's team is very good at using the width of the field.

What's more, this Bayern Munich is a clever combination of German hard-core football and the central role of the Spanish midfield.

This is not the German team that will play passing and controlling in the future.

Instead, it enriches its own style of play based on its own tactics.

This also makes Bayern Munich's offense have some hard-core violent advancement and delicate midfield conduction.

The combination of the two, coupled with the swift and manic rhythm, and the constant confrontation and pressure, the rhythm that was originally leaning towards Real Madrid was actually suppressed.

Bayern Munich also took advantage of this time to launch several threatening attacks in succession.

Although they failed to score, they could clearly feel that they were getting closer and closer to the goal, and they felt better and better.

"The boys are playing better and better, they are playing more confidently, that's right, Guardiola's substitutions and adjustments have worked, not only freeing Ronaldo, but also allowing our midfield to operate smoothly. With the help of the midfield, our forwards can get a steady stream of artillery support!"

The German commentator believes that Bayern Munich's forward line is also top-notch.

As long as they are given opportunities, they can return goals.

The time came to 38 minutes, and the first half of the game was about to end.

Suddenly, the situation changed!

Bayern Munich played a wonderful two-on-one cooperation on Robben's wing, and Marcelo's misjudgment allowed Robben to drive straight in.

"Robben! Run!"

Robben rushed all the way to the Real Madrid penalty area, and the entire Allianz Arena was also agitated.

When approaching the penalty area, Robben suddenly paused and started dribbling horizontally.

"Here it comes! Robben's signature cut-in!"

Pepe quickly followed, his eyes fixed on Robben's feet, ready to block at any time.

At this moment, Robben suddenly raised his left foot.

Pepe suddenly stretched out his right leg and slid forward to block.

Robben, however, stepped on his feet and stopped suddenly.

Pepe knew he was fooled and struggled to get up.

At this time, Robben suddenly passed the ball forward,

A figure suddenly passed between Pepe who fell to the ground and Ramos who was looking at Lewandowski.

Ronaldo inserted diagonally forward from the back row, and he smoothly ran to the front of the ball from left to right.

He adjusted with small steps, did not stop the ball at all, and twisted his waist to shoot.

Another high-quality big diagonal line, directly kicked the opposite corner.

Casillas knelt on one knee in the near corner to block the shot, but he was also far behind the shot that was kicked to the opposite corner.

Swish!

In the 40th minute, Bayern Munich successfully equalized the score through Ronaldo's goal.

After adjustments, Bayern Munich got rid of the disadvantage and gradually adjusted their state until they scored.

In the 40th minute of the first half, Bayern Munich tied Real Madrid 1:1.
