Football: Copy the attributes of peak Messi at the beginning

Gerd Muller has been brooding over Bayern's defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League final last season.

Bayern had the upper hand in that game and kept pressing Chelsea, but as a result they couldn't score.

Robben, Ribery, Gomez, Muller and others missed scoring opportunities one after another, and were eventually dragged into a penalty shootout by their opponents, regrettably losing the game.

If Bayern had a player like Lin Quan who was sharp in small areas, good at breakthroughs and able to move around last season, the result might have been completely different.

After falling behind, Bayern immediately launched a crazy counterattack.

If at the beginning, Bayern was still thinking about saving energy for the Champions League game four days later and did not try its best in the game.

So at this time, they were completely irritated and had long forgotten about the Champions League game!

They were like an angry lion, attacking Werder Bremen like crazy!

Bayern Munich's offensive is like a wave, wave after wave constantly impacting Werder Bremen's defense.

Werder Bremen is like a small boat in a storm, and may be engulfed by the opponent's offensive wave at any time.

In order to defend their own goal, almost all Werder Bremen players retreated to their own half. Even center Anautovic retreated to the center circle to participate in the defense. Bayern's half was so empty that it could run!

The situation on the field has been completely controlled by Bayern Munich. They continue to form offensive attacks and threaten Werder Bremen's goal again and again.

However, Bayern's luck seemed not very good. They shot a total of 11 shots in the first half, but only 3 of them hit the goal frame and did not score a goal.

Finally, after 45 minutes of hard work, at the end of the first half, Bayern Munich returned to the locker room with a one-goal deficit.

On the other side, although Werder Bremen's players were one goal ahead, there was no joy in the team, and the only sound left in the locker room was the players gasping for air.

Bayern's offensive at the end of the first half was too fierce, their impact was too strong, and they were very good at pulling and tearing apart Werder Bremen's defense with repeated cooperation.

If Werder Bremen's players hadn't spared no effort in running, using diligent running and active fighting to make up for their lack of skills and consciousness, and barely able to stabilize the defense, they would have been defeated by Bayern at this time!

However, the cost of doing so is also very high. After only playing for one half, Werder Bremen's players felt unprecedentedly tired.

At this rate of consumption, they will definitely not be able to finish the second half. Maybe after six or seventy minutes of playing, the players will run out of energy.

In the locker room, the physical therapist is taking the time to give the players massages to relax.

Coach Schaff is deploying tactics for the second half to the players.

"Your performance in the first half was great and I am proud of you, but the game is not over yet and it is not time for us to be happy!"

"In the second half, Bayern will definitely continue to strengthen their offense. Robben, Gomez and others will be substituted. Our wing will face a more severe test!"

The players nodded one after another. In the first half, Ribery alone made it very difficult for them.

If Robben plays again and Bayern's Robbery combination is activated, their frontcourt offensive firepower will be raised to another level.

This is a huge test for Werder Bremen's defense!

"So, we played like this in the second half..."

…

On the other side, in the visiting team's locker room.

After Heynckes arranged the offensive tactics for the second half, he found the team's forward Pizarro alone and said to him:

"Claudio, the team is in adversity and needs veteran players like you to step up!"

"Coach, just give your orders and I will carry them out to the letter!"

"Very good, I will replace you in about 60 minutes, so after playing in the second half, don't worry about the physical consumption, do everything possible to attack the opponent's defense and consume the physical strength of their defenders. Whether the team can win the game depends on You and Cross are exhausted!"

Heynckes saw Werder Bremen's physical problems, so he planned to make substitutions around 60 minutes in the second half.

The two people who were replaced were forward Pizarro and midfielder Kroos.

Before replacing these two people, he hoped that these two people would run more, attack the opponent's defense more, and wear down the opponent.

In this way, when the players who come on the bench are familiar with the rhythm of the game and officially enter the state, they can just catch up with the bottleneck period of the opponent's physical exhaustion.

In Bayern's formation, Pizarro is not the absolute star.

As he is older, he has no advantage over Gomez and Mandzukic.

Therefore, Heynckes never placed high expectations on him, but used him as a tool man.

Pizarro nodded expressionlessly when he heard the old commander's words.

Although he was unwilling to accept it, he could only accept it helplessly.

In the final analysis, he is just a not-so-important rotation player at Bayern, and his status is far from the absolute core he was at Werder Bremen.

Being able to play football is already a good result for him, so what else can he expect?

At the beginning of the second half, Bayern continued to speed up the pace of the game.

The ball flew back and forth in Werder Bremen's penalty area, and Werder Bremen's goal was once again severely tested.

Scharf held his chin, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He could clearly feel that Bayern's players were fighting more fiercely and more actively, especially midfielder Kroos and forward Pizarro.

As if they didn't care about physical exertion at all, these two people ran tirelessly and attacked Werder Bremen's defense.

In order to guard against them, Werder Bremen even received a yellow card.

Schaff subconsciously looked at the coaching bench on the other side, speculating on the intentions of coach Heynckes.

Bayern's bench is so luxurious, personnel adjustments will definitely be made in the second half.

As for the people who were replaced, he had already guessed that they must be Pizarro and Cross.

Because according to their current way of playing, the players' physical fitness is simply not enough to support them for the entire game.

Heynckes is so cruel, using this method to consume Werder Bremen, but Werder Bremen has nothing to do.

Schaaf glanced at his team's bench and could only shake his head secretly.

Their bench depth is incomparable to Bayern Munich.

In the 60th minute, the fourth official raised the substitution card, and Bayern Munich took the lead in making personnel adjustments.

No. 10 Robben comes on and replaces No. 39 Kroos.

No. 9 Mandzukic comes on, replacing No. 14 Pizarro.

Seeing the opponent's personnel adjustment, Schaff immediately stood up from the coaching bench.

Mandzukic! ?

Bayern didn't sign Gomez, but Mandzukic?

Historically, Gomez sprained his ankle during the Telecom Cup match against Werder Bremen and underwent surgery before resting for three months.

But at this time, although Gomez was also injured, the injury was not an ankle, but a thigh strain. He recovered after six weeks of rest.

In the last round of the game, Gomez also played on behalf of the team and scored a goal. His condition is absolutely fine.

As a result, Heynckes did not replace him, but replaced him with Mandzukic?

Schaff couldn't figure out Heynckes' intentions, because in his opinion, Gomez was definitely better than Mandzukic, and Gomez and his Bayern teammates had a tacit understanding of cooperation, which was much better than Mandzukic's during this summer window. The new players who transferred here are more adaptable to Bayern's tactics.

But Heynckes just didn't use him!

This made Shafu feel a little nervous. The other party's substitution was beyond his expectation and made him feel inexplicably worried.

After Robben and Mandzukic came on the court, Bayern's style of play changed again.

Robbery activated the connection, and Robben started to break through and cut inside wildly on the right.

Elia, whose physical fitness had already declined, was unable to guard against the opponent and was passed by him time and time again.

And with the high point of Mandzukic in the penalty area, Bayern's header threat has greatly increased.

In just five minutes of playing, Mandzukic completed two attacks, both of which were extremely threatening!

Schaff realized something was wrong and immediately made personnel adjustments. He replaced Elia and replaced Lukimya, using his height and strong physical fitness to restrict Mandzukic.

At the same time, he asked captain Fritz to move forward from the left back position, return to the midfielder position, and start playing double midfielders to increase the protection of the front edge of the penalty area.

But this approach did not achieve very good results. On the contrary, after Elia came off the field, Robben's space on the right became larger.

In the 75th minute of the game, Robben received a pass from his teammate on the right and then dribbled away.

After a cross-position change with Ribery, he suddenly made a pass and passed it to Mandzukic in the penalty area.

Mandzukic had a chance to hit the goal himself, but after stopping the ball with his chest, he set up a cannon for his teammates and passed a nanny ball to Ribery who came in behind.

Ribery did not waste the good opportunity created by his teammates. He blasted the ball into Werder Bremen's goal and equalized the score!

Werder Bremen's lead for most of the half was gone!
