Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Guardiola, the head coach of Bayern Munich, failed to make a plan.

He thought Dortmund would adopt the same tactics as in the first half, set up a fence and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, or he underestimated the determination of the Hornets to get three points.

When he asked the team to strengthen the offense, he was stunned by the attack of Dortmund under Tuchel.

The reason why Tuchel chose a completely opposite tactic from the first half was that he had his own considerations.

First of all, the rhythm of the game. After a half-game, Bayern's players have adapted to that rhythm and thought they would stay behind to defend in the second half.

The change of rhythm can reverse the situation on the field.

Secondly, the so-called morale is strong at first, then weak and exhausted. Before the end of the first half, Bayern Munich scored a goal to tie the game, and the morale was high. If the opponent took advantage of this momentum to score another goal in the second half, it would be difficult for Dortmund.

Although the score was a one-to-one tie, in a football match, the morale of the team that scored first and the team that equalized the goal are completely opposite, one is going down, and the other is going up.

Player strength is important, tactics are important, and morale is even more important.

As long as a team has morale, it will burst out with strength higher than on paper.

In a game, it is not only about the ability of the players, but also the battle between coaches, and it depends on which side can suppress the opponent with momentum.

Tuchel used a full-scale attack to awaken the morale of the Dortmund team.

Facing Dortmund's sudden change of rhythm, the unprepared Bayern Munich team was not adapted at all, lost the initiative on the field, and the situation became chaotic.

This is a good opportunity for Dortmund. The opponent is in chaos, and the players' offensive and defensive ideas are not unified, which has exposed weaknesses. Unfortunately, Immobile and Aubameyang did not seize this opportunity.

As a world-class coach, Guardiola reacted quickly, waved the flag, and replaced Douglas Costa with Gotze to strengthen the control of the midfield ball.

Gotze, known as "Super Mario", is no stranger to Dortmund fans or fans all over the world.

He joined Dortmund in 2009. During his time with the Hornets, he won the European Golden Boy Award in 2011 and was selected for the national team. In 2013, he joined Bayern Munich for a transfer fee of 37 million euros.

Of course, what made fans all over the world remember this name was the 2014 World Cup final, where he became famous with one goal and defeated Argentina, helping the German team to win the World Cup again after 24 years.

Guardiola tried to regain the rhythm of the game by taking advantage of Gotze's dribbling and organizational characteristics.

The idea was right, but he overlooked one point, morale.

The situation on the field at this time was changing, and it was no longer the situation in the first half.

The high-spirited Dortmund team, the three armies fought hard, the players' combat effectiveness was off the charts, every ball must be grabbed, every inch of land must be fought for, and the lack of ability was made up for by enthusiasm.

Wang Po cooperated with the defensive midfielder to grab the ball from Vidal's feet. The most taboo in the transition from defense to offense is the interception of the ball, and Bayern's goal is in danger.

Wang Po controlled the ball and passed the ball through Bayern's defense line and passed it to Aubameyang's feet. The latter made it in one fell swoop and helped Dortmund take the lead again.

2 to 1.

The one who created the killing intent was still Dortmund's No. 11 player, Wang Po.

The score was behind and the morale was suppressed. The players of Bayern Munich became impatient. They obviously had the strength but could not play it 100%, just like a fist hitting cotton, and they could not use their strength.

There were 15 minutes left in the game.

Conventionally, at this time point, most coaches would choose to retreat and keep the fruits of victory.

But Tuchel on the sidelines did not move. The players on the field had an idea in their minds, to score another goal.

With morale boosted, the red-eyed Dortmund team faced the counterattack of Bayern Munich without any intention of retreating. The two sides fought hand-to-hand, and the intensity of the confrontation reached a new level in the final period of the game.

It was Vidal again, the same mistake.

The last time he was trapped and lost the second ball, he did not attract the attention of Bayern Munich. Under the siege, there was no support from teammates to pass the ball.

Dortmund regained the ball.

Wang Po took the ball and advanced to the penalty area of ​​Bayern Munich.

The wind behind him was not good, and before Wang Po could react, he was thrown to the ground fiercely.

This was a fierce foul. The huge impact made Wang Po's internal organs move. His head was confused and he coughed repeatedly. It took a long time to recover.

"Beep"

The referee blew the whistle, an undisputed foul, and showed Vidal a yellow card warning.

Dortmund got a free kick opportunity in an excellent position on the left side of Bayern Munich's penalty area, 29 meters away from the goal, and could shoot directly.

In the Hornets team, there is a free kick master. Of course, with his current status in the team, Wang Po stood at the penalty spot without any controversy.

Now Wang Po can attack directly as long as the free kick in front of the penalty area is within the range of the shot with both feet.

This distance made Bayern Munich dare not slack off.

Goalkeeper Neuer even stretched out four fingers, meaning that the first human wall needs four people.

Including forward Lewandowski, they have returned to defense and participated in the defense of this set-piece.

Bayern is ready.

"Beep"

With a whistle, the referee indicated that the free kick can be taken.

Facing one of the best teams in the world, facing the strongest position player in the world, the first center back, the first left back, the historical right back, and the goalkeeper who redefined the goalkeeper.

These names alone are enough to give people a huge sense of oppression.

The defensive aura overwhelmed the Allianz Arena.

Strength is the capital, no fear of pressure.

Facing the wolf-like eyes of Bayern players, Wang Po was not scared. He took a deep breath, ran up, swung his legs, and shot.

The silver moon scimitar reappeared in the arena.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and went straight to the dead corner of the goal.

As the world's first goalkeeper, Neuer jumped up and tried his best to save the ball.

Although his fingertips touched the ball, he still couldn't stop the goal.

3 to 1.

Wang Po scored twice in this game and sent an attack.

The Allianz Arena was silent, only the Dortmund team celebrated wildly.

No, no suspense, no chance.

At the Allianz Arena, home of Bayern Munich, Dortmund defeated the defending champions 3-1 with two shots and one assist from Wang Po.

Before the game, everyone predicted that Bayern Munich would end Dortmund's undefeated record and win 3 points.

Some media even believed that getting one point was the biggest victory for Dortmund.
