Guardiola didn't expect that his unintentional substitution of Otamendi as the right back turned out to be a masterstroke.

Otamendi debuted as a right back earlier, and his assists were quite coquettish. He once occupied the position of the main right back of the Argentine national team under Maradona. He was only 21 years old that year.

But everything changed in the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, when the proud Argentina encountered the Germans. That day, the right wing of Pampas guarded by Otamendi became a highway for the Germans to do whatever they wanted. Not to mention Xiaozhu and Erba who mainly focused on this side, any individual on the German team would successfully make a splash here. Sense of presence.

0:4, all four German goals were scored from Otamendi's right wing. In fact, Otamendi was replaced in the 70th minute when the score was still 0:2. The next two goals should be Demichelis' fault.

But Otamendi was too embarrassed in the first 70 minutes. He will not be forgotten by football until the wave of spectators is dead. It was an unforgettable tragedy, and Otamendi could not forgive himself.

After the World Cup, Otamendi moved to Porto and became a frightened full-back who almost made Porto return. However, coach Villas-Boas is a talent. He developed Otamendi's center back skills and strengthened them.

In the 2010-11 season, Porto completed the minor treble of league, cup, and UEFA Cup, and Otamendi, the mainstay in the second half, played an important role. Of course, there are also his teammates Falcao, Fernando, Hulk, Ronaldo and others.

In the 2014-15 season, Otamendi was named the best central defender in La Liga in Valencia, and finally found himself among the top defenders. Only then did he completely wash away the shame of 2010. Then he came to Manchester City.

Manchester City's defense is full of traps, and Otamendi is relatively the least vulnerable. In terms of filling in and attacking, Stones needs to learn from Otamendi.

However, Otamendi and Kompany have similar styles, so they make Stones, who has the strongest cheating attribute among the three, cheaper.

Guardiola asked Otamendi to come up and play as right back in the second half. He felt a thump in his heart. The unforgettable afternoon in Cape Town seven years ago suddenly hit him, and his mind was filled with lovesickness.

But after all, 2 Mendy knew that he shouldn’t ask too many questions at this moment, and it was best to just do whatever he was asked to do, so he made up his mind: just play the full-back as a defender, not asking for offensive success, but asking for a watertight defense. If you don’t make mistakes, you will win. .

With the unforgivable lessons learned from seven years ago, Otamendi, who suddenly returned to his old career today, performed like an enhanced version of Willy Ackerman, the "stick" of Madiburg in the second half. You will never go too far easily. Who wants to beat me behind my back?

We have analyzed before that if a solid full-back is placed behind Sterling, it will release all his attacking passion, and now Otamendi is such a weight that suppresses Manchester City's right wing.

As a result, Sterling was happier and wilder. Young man, if you give him three points of color, he will dare to open a dyeing workshop.

In the 55th minute, Royce encountered Otamendi's rusty defense on the wing. Whether it was a pass or a sudden pass, he hesitated and was cut off by Sterling who came up from behind.

When did the Rockets suffer this loss? He turned around and went to rob him. In good conscience, he was much better at robbing than Sterling.

But Sterling poked the football far enough away, not to pass it to himself three seconds later, but obviously intending to pass it to the next life. Then hit the speed.

In terms of sprint speed alone, the Rockets are really no match for Sterling. Don't forget that this guy has the blood of his Jamaican ancestors flowing in his veins.

Why does Sterling dare to be so arrogant? Because he is not afraid of losing the ball! There is a wall built by Otamendi behind him. Is it a big deal if he concedes a goal?

The less afraid you are of losing the ball, the more relaxed you will be. The more relaxed you are, the less likely you are to lose the ball. Sprinting to the frontcourt, he passed by Weigel again, not even taking the new generation German midfielder known as the "Little Pig II" seriously.

Before Ginter pounced, Sterling passed the ball to the other corner of the penalty area close to the corner flag. After running smoothly, he also had the leisure mood to observe in advance. He saw Zhuo Yang running out of space on that side.

Zhuo Yang secretly shouted: Well done!

Regardless of whether there is someone or not, the sideways volley is all about suddenness.

Grandpa Mo had made a meritorious service. At the critical moment, he turned around and retreated, then released himself into the air, using his huge body to block his brother's bullet hole.

‘Bang~’

The football hit Grandpa Mo's chest in the air, making Zhuo Yang's entire facial features tremble.

I don’t feel bad if you are beaten to death, but it’s troublesome for Ulic to come to me and ask for a man. Second-rate goods, what do you think?

The football flew to the middle of the penalty area, and Aguero, who followed up at the same time, picked it up. He pushed the ball easily without any obstruction and sent the football into the goal, 2:2.

Grandpa Mo: "..."

Zhuo Yang looked at him with gloating, while his grandfather sat on the ground with a sad face and silently rubbed his breasts.

Sterling deserves more than half of the credit for this goal. It was his impossibly fast private counterattack that made it impossible for Dortmund, who were retreating in a panic, to organize a defense line. Wind was leaking from all directions, relying on Grandpa Mo's personal Bravely resisting for one round is already the maximum value.

As he continues to learn, Guardiola's eyes lit up off the court. He never expected that he would discover such a folk remedy by accident.

The right wing combination of Sterling + Otamendi naturally cannot conquer the world. Once the opponent is familiar with the targeted layout, the shameless attack power will soon be reduced by more than half, and it will also lose the numerical advantage of the full-back assists. .

But this is the same as the right kidney combination of Navas + Delph. If used properly, it will definitely make your hands wet. This is the so-called surprise weapon.

This is really an unexpected surprise. Football is a bit interesting.

.

Otamendi stuck to the right back, and coupled with the increasingly pure defensive midfielder Fernando, Manchester City actually lost part of the offense in the second half. But the quarterfinals of the Champions League are two rounds, with a 4:2 base, and now the main tactical goal is no longer to attack aggressively, so the appearance of these two seems to be very appropriate.

If Dortmund wants to win, they don't want to fight for reputation. Teams competing in the Champions League care about face, and they can't all learn from Barcelona.

Reus, who was blocked on the wing, began to frequently change positions with Shinji Kagawa, trying to disrupt Manchester City through changes to the 40-meter line, but all this was expected by the astute Guardiola.

The competition in the midfield was fierce, and the game was deadlocked until the 75th minute.

Royce used his personal skills to get rid of Fernando outside the top of the arc and suddenly shot from a long distance. The Manchester City defense line was lined up in the penalty area seven or eight meters away from him. The little rocket shot was directly opposite Kompany.

Team Kong was worried about the player who hit the ball, so he put his back on his back and stretched his neck.

The football happened to hit him, and Kompany, who had his hands behind his back like a veteran cadre, knocked the football back with just one click on his forehead. He was extremely tough.

The little rocket never gives up, he takes one step forward and shoots again. As if he had a grudge against Kompany, Football went to find Hei Benlouzi again.

The veteran cadre continued to nod where he was, and simply got rid of the ball.

Just like this, two consecutive 'boom, boom' moments. After the boom, Kompany still had his hands behind his back, looking calm and calm.

After witnessing the awesome bald head, Zhuo Yang had a song floating in his mind: Shaolin Kung Fu is so good, so good~, Shaolin Kung Fu is so good, so good~. I am an iron head gong...
