My name is Colani

Chapter 907 Second Round 1

Compared with the last game, everyone has made some personnel adjustments. Wenger's adjustment on Trapani's side is more intensive. Fontano replaced Aguero, Di Maria replaced El Shaarawy, Evra returned to replace Kolarov, and on the other side, Maggio replaced Coleman.

From the lineup, it can be seen that Wenger is still more conservative about the away trip to Allianz. The defensive strength of the back line has increased a lot in personnel arrangement. Evra's level is still higher than Kolarov. On the other side, Maggio's offense and defense are more balanced, unlike Coleman who is better at offense than defense.

Bayern Munich's Heynckes only made two adjustments. Schweinsteiger replaced Gustavo, and Van Buyten returned to replace Bruno.

Accompanying Hugo at home to watch the game is Lu Fan, and a few little ones. These little ones have been brought to the stadium by their parents since they were young, and they are very loyal. Angelo is still a little angry because he is looking forward to watching the away game. He said he has not been to the Allianz Stadium yet.

But when the game started, the little guy was no longer depressed. He discussed everything about the team with his friends, just like the adult fans. In the past, Toni and Messi were their most admired players, and now Kaka has to be added. Even in the eyes of these children, they think Kaka is very handsome and can score goals.

Kaka and Messi make the little guys full of confidence in the away game.

"Calm down! Calm down!" Lu Fan clearly remembered what Hugo said. It was a resigned word. Hugo said that this season was probably over. After the interview, Morek and Hugo had a quarrel. Hugo also clearly realized that his accusations and criticisms were indeed inappropriate. At that time, he felt that even with a two-goal advantage, it was probably over. But now in front of the TV, Lu Fan could also feel Hugo's impatience.

"I'm calm! At worst, I can just replace them!" Hugo argued, "I'll tell you a secret, Brother Fan, I've already made a list of players to clean up, and we're going to do something big in the summer!"

"Dude, this is not a joke! If things go wrong, the team will be ruined!" Even if Lu Fan hangs out with Hugo every day, he would never have thought that Hugo had actually made a list of players to clean up, and he didn't agree with Hugo's actions.

"Look, the hope of this season is in the Champions League. If I'm really dissatisfied, I will complete the team's renewal at all costs. In this world, no, no one in Trapani is indispensable, and anyone can leave. I feel that I'm too pampering them. Mental slackness is the biggest factor in the decline of a giant club!" Hugo was indignant.

Wenger still didn't use Kameni in this game, but he used him in the league last week, and Kameni was in good shape. Kameni thought everything would be back on track before this game, but Wenger still used Storari. He said that the goalkeeper position should be continuous in the two rounds of the Champions League to avoid mistakes.

Kameni actually smelled something from Wenger's explanation. Of course, this smell is not new. There were rumors that Wenger was not satisfied with him before. Now, taking advantage of the conflict between him and Hugo, Wenger did this to make Kameni feel that Wenger seemed to be really not very satisfied with him.

Kameni said nothing and obeyed Wenger's arrangement. He just sighed to Tony, "It seems that we are really leaving! A new emperor has a new minister!"

Tony seemed to accept this view, as if Wenger and Hugo were playing a big game, the innovation of the team, but Tony also had a little doubt. Is it really the case? You know, Hugo really doesn't need to hide it from him.

...

The game between the two sides on the court has officially started. The three giants of Bayern Munich are also uneasy in the stands. The closer the game is, the more confidence they have in their hearts. This is the pressure brought to them by the opponent. Hoeness has prayed silently in his heart many times, hoping that the team will have good luck, at least not as unlucky as the last game, hitting the goal post and missing a single shot.

Wenger shrank the formation a lot in this game, which was unusual. In fact, both he and Bielsa are offensive coaches. Such unusual behavior is rare, but Trapani's team also has some Italian characteristics. The defensive training in the era of Deschamps and Ranieri was very successful, and that stage also laid a certain foundation for the team to some extent.

But Wenger's defense is not blindly defending, but increasing the time of possession of the ball in the backcourt, waiting for opportunities to counterattack, and at the same time pulling Bayern Munich's formation forward. After all, the opponent has no way to retreat, and only offense can have a chance to advance.

If you rely solely on the defensive system to defend Bayern Munich, Wenger thinks he is not capable of training Trapani to that point, so he can only use ball control.

Wenger's blocking also started from the midfield, and the recovery on the front line was also obvious. It was still not easy for Bayern Munich to penetrate Trapani's defense when they were in possession of the ball. From the opening ten minutes, Bayern Munich did not create as many opportunities as in the previous round. Trapani's main tone was not offensive, and he created fewer opportunities.

Bayern Munich fans were a little disappointed. They hoped to see a more determined attack from their opponents. However, that was not the case in this game. The situation in the ten minutes also told the enthusiastic Bayern Munich players that Trapani, who really wanted to defend, was not an easy opponent to deal with.

The advantage in numbers in the area prevented Ribery and Robben from showing their talents, especially Evra, who restricted Robben very well. His task today was very clear. Wenger told him that he only needed to keep an eye on Robben. Evra showed his strength as the world's top left-back at this stage. Robben's two consecutive strong attacks were resolved by Evra.

Like the last round, the two main players who partnered with Bayern Munich's forwards today were Germans, while Trapani's central defender combination was still German. Before the game, some media people joked that this was a battle between the spear and the shield of the German national team. From this aspect, defense still had the advantage.

Mertesacker's speed was slow, so he kept an eye on Gomez, whose speed was also not outstanding, while Boateng filled in and waited for an opportunity to keep an eye on Muller's forward insertion. When the situation could not be opened, Bayern Munich made three crosses, and Mertesacker won all of them without exception, which made Gomez feel frustrated.

Messi's ball holding disappointed the little ones in front of the TV. They wanted Messi to break through like a god and score for Trapani. However, Messi at this stage mostly cooperated with his teammates and rarely dribbled the ball. Messi is indeed known as the world's number one player, but he is not really a god. It is impossible for him to play away the opponent's defense every time. Especially once his speed starts, not only the opponent but also his teammates can't keep up with his rhythm. It is not a good choice to force a breakthrough blindly. He also needs to find the right time.

"Alas!" The little guys exclaimed. Messi slowed down the advancement speed by holding the ball on the wing, allowing more opponents to return to the half to participate in the defense. Messi could only deflect a throw-in from the opponent, which was not very useful.

Hugo and Lu Fan couldn't help but smile. Hugo saw that the players didn't seem to be affected by the TV interview, and he was also very relaxed. He would give the team a score of 7 for more than ten minutes. The offense was a little worse, but the defense was still very solid. There won't be too many teams that can make Bayern Munich suffer.

Time in the first half was slipping away bit by bit, and both sides gradually figured out the opponent's routine. Heynckes decisively asked the players to press high. He didn't want to see the opponent pass the ball back comfortably in the backcourt. He needed the team to force the game rhythm.

Without Schweinsteiger, a midfielder who is both civil and military, Trapani's ability to control the ball can't challenge Barcelona like last season. Last season, when they controlled the ball, Barcelona's high-pressure policy was useless. Now it's different. Cazorla suffers from his body.
