Chapter 196 The road to victory!

What strategy Arsenal will adopt at the Allianz Stadium is also expected by Guardiola.

This is actually not difficult to guess.

So when he saw Arsenal retreating out of breath and going on the defensive after Allianz, as he predicted before the game, Guardiola had very good expectations for this game.

He is not in a hurry now anyway.

Bayern only needs one goal to eliminate Arsenal on away goals.

Now he wants to see who will be more patient.

The most important thing Guardiola's team lacks is patience. If necessary, they can play in the backcourt for an entire game.

As for Arsenal, they are actually not in a hurry. They are in the lead, and it is Bayern that should be anxious.

Both sides seemed to lack "aggressiveness" for the game.

This is actually the effect Arsenal's coaching staff hopes to achieve.

Before the game, Wenger analyzed for everyone that it is difficult to win the opponent at the Allianz Arena.

So he doesn't mind a draw, or even a zero-to-zero draw.

Because of the draw, it was Arsenal who advanced.

Therefore, before this game, he had already made mental preparations in advance.

He asked the Arsenal players not to be anxious and to stabilize their mentality. The opponent was controlling the backcourt forever, so there was no need to press forward and expose the space behind them.

And now that both sides are fighting for patience, the defensive pressure on Arsenal will naturally be less.

If the first half can go into the halftime break with a score of zero to zero.

That would definitely be good for Arsenal.

so.

Throughout the first half, Guardiola's expression went from confident, to confused, to a little annoyed.

It ended with Guardiola looking angry.

score.

It’s really zero to zero.

"The score of the first round between the two sides was very subtle, which also led to the fact that both sides looked very conservative in the first half of the game. This is understandable, but this is not a good thing for the fans. In the first half, The scene of the game was really disappointing, the pace of the game was very slow and there were no exciting performances.”

The German commentator couldn't help frowning at the end of the first half and said: "Although Bayern Munich scored an away goal in the away game, they fell behind in the total score. For Arsenal, this game is They can advance even if it is zero to zero. They have no reason to be anxious, but Bayern is different... they need a goal. I don't know what Guardiola is thinking. Now it seems that his team has wasted four goals. Fifteen minutes”

In fact, Guardiola soon realized that he had been fooled.

That's why he was so angry after the first half.

Wenger actually paid attention to killing the game time.

This made Guardiola realize that he had really wasted forty-five minutes.

In the locker room, he asked his team to go big in the second half!

Time is not on Bayern's side.

Wenger now has the calmness of sitting on a Diaoyutai.

During the break, he reminded his players to pay attention to Bayern Munich's attack in the second half.

"There are only forty-five minutes left. Boys, I want to commend you for your outstanding performance in the first half. We did not allow Bayern to score. The initiative is still in our hands."

"However, they will definitely make adjustments in the second half. They will not be willing to be eliminated just like this. Therefore, we must be prepared to meet the opponent's fierce offensive! In the second half, the pressure our defense will face will be Unprecedented!”

Wenger raised his voice.

His tone also became extremely solemn.

He wants all players to know the seriousness of the problem.

"This is their home court, and they may score at any time. So, no matter what happens, we cannot waver. We must defend solidly, and at the same time, we must have sharp counterattacks!"

Speaking of which.

He looked at Li Mo.

Li Mo's task in this game will be very important.

because.

Want to relieve the pressure on the defense.

The biggest key is whether Li Mo can create pressure on his opponents on the offensive end.

"Don't worry, Dad!"

Li Mo said loudly immediately.

"Everyone, pass the ball to my area!"

With Li Mo's guarantee.

The tension in the locker room immediately dissipated a lot.

Everyone still trusts Li Mo quite a lot.

The second half of the game started.

Bayern Munich's offense has obviously strengthened. The biggest difference from the first half is that they reduced the number of passes in the backcourt. The football was quickly developed past halftime. The two wingers Ribery and Robben both Start trying to blast from the side!

to cheers at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich's offensive is getting stronger and stronger.

Like a raging tsunami, it rushed towards Arsenal's goal.

"Mandzukic. Header! Danger!!!"

exclaimed Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray.

Although the ball eventually rubbed the upper edge of the crossbar and bounced out of the baseline.

But it still shocked the Arsenal fans into cardiac arrest.

Andy Gray also said with lingering fear: "Arsenal can't always be passively beaten like this. They need to attack! You can't defend like this! This is the Allianz Arena!"

Arsenal's players naturally know this.

They were crushed here last season.

They are well aware of Bayern Munich's offensive capabilities.

However, it is impossible for them to say that the attack will be carried out immediately.

Li Mo has already retreated to the center circle.

The position of his own center is so deep, which shows how passive Arsenal's defense is.

Li Mo was far away from Bayern Munich's goal and looked unthreatening.

But he was still running with all his strength, finding every possible space to receive the pass, looking for it, creating it, and waiting for the opportunity.

He lost to Bayern once.

He doesn't want to lose a second time!

This is what other Arsenal players think too.

The situation was very unfavorable for Arsenal. Bayern's offensive was very fierce, but no one in the Arsenal team gave up or wavered.

"Boys, Bayern Munich only needs one ball to put us in dire straits, but we also only need one ball to put Bayern in hell! We only need one ball! One ball to defeat them!"

Wenger's words at halftime became the motivation for all Arsenal players to grit their teeth and persevere on the field.

Yes.

Just one ball!

With just one goal, they can send Bayern into hell!

They only need to score one goal to change the total score to three to one!

by that time.

Not only did Arsenal lead by two goals, they also canceled out Bayern's away goal.

If Bayern wants to advance, at the very least, they have to win 2-1 and drag the game into overtime.

Therefore, as long as Arsenal scores another goal, Bayern will have to score at least two goals without conceding - even if they do score two goals, they may not be able to advance.

That is to say.

Arsenal just need one more.

The difficulty for Bayern to advance has increased exponentially! !

"Arsenal is tenacious."

The German commentator said with a frown.

He had to admit it.

The second half of the game has already started twenty minutes ago.

The score on the field was still zero to zero.

In these twenty minutes, Arsenal's defense had many dangerous moments.

But they eventually withstood the test.

Arsenal's players were united and used every part of their body to block the ball's replacement, blocking every Bayern shot in front of the goal.

Sixty-fifth minute of the game.

Cross tried a long shot from outside the penalty area, but Xhaka blocked it regardless of his own safety.

The powerful shot hit Xhaka directly in the crotch.

Being a man, everyone knows how painful that position is.

But he just picked it up, and then gritted his teeth and devoted himself to the next defense.

This is just a microcosm of Arsenal's spirit and will in this game.

They have withstood the test.

Guardiola began to make substitutions.

Gotze came on and replaced Javi Martinez.

Thiago plays as a single defensive midfielder, and Kroos has a good position, forming a double attacking midfielder with Gotze.

Bayern must continue to strengthen their offensive.

But at the same time, their midfield also seemed a little weaker.

Thiago is a Spanish midfielder with very good offensive organization skills, but defensive coverage is not his strong point.

at the same time.

As Arsenal's defense showed increasing resilience.

Bayern's players also began to lose their composure as time went by.

The defensive interception ability of the midfielder has weakened, and the players' mentality has begun to show impatience.

Therefore, Arsenal began to get more and more counterattacks.

While the number of times increases.

The quality of counterattacks has also been improved.

It already vaguely threatens Bayern's defense.

Seventy minutes into the game.

Wenger also made the first substitution adjustment of the game.

Kaka replaced Walcott, Sanchez moved to the middle, and the midfielder formed a pattern of double defensive midfielders + double front midfielders.

However, when defending, Sanchez retreated and Cazor pulled up, and it was still 4231.

Although Walcott came off the field, Arsenal's counterattack was reduced.

But Kaka's appearance has increased the midfielder's ball points.

The quality of the counterattack is actually better.

Of course.

Bayern also quickly made corresponding strategies.

They would never allow Li Mo and Sanchez to easily get the chance to get behind Bayern's defense and get a single goal.

The entanglement between the two sides continued until the 80th minute.

The score is still zero to zero.

At this time, Guardiola was starting to feel a little restless.

He frowned, folded his arms and stood on the sidelines, his eyes constantly moving as the football was being passed.

So far, we still only need one goal.

Eighty minutes of the game.

Whether it's Bayern or Arsenal.

At this time, no matter who scores the goal, it may directly kill the game.

The 85th minute of the game.

Arsenal once again completed the steal and quickly counterattacked.

However, Bayern Munich retreated very quickly.

As the football advanced to the front of the penalty area.

Most of Bayern's defensive players completed the replay.

All four defenders are on the defensive line.

At the same time, Kroos and Thiago also returned to the defensive midfielder position.

And on Arsenal's side.

It is Kaká who is holding the ball, with Sanchez and Cazorla on both sides.

Sanchez pulled aside and raised his hand to signal Kaka to pass the ball to him.

Cazorla moved to the middle to create space for Kaka.

And on Bayern's side.

Suspended due to Boateng's red card.

The central defenders in this game were Alaba and Dante. Alaba also has the ability to play as a central defender, but more often he plays as a full-back.

In this game, Alaba moved to the center, and the wings were occupied by another full-back, Rafinha.

Now, Alaba and Dante are clinging to Li Mo.

On the right, Rafinha was pulled to the wing by Sanchez, and he got stuck in Sanchez's inward cut.

On the other side is Ram.

As the best left back and the best right back in the Bundesliga.

His defensive pressure is still quite high.

Because both Cazorla and Xhaka are active here.

Kaka ran into position and received Arteta's pass.

When he catches the pass.

Now the situation of the game has become what it is now.

This is no longer a counterattack, but close to a positional battle.

But it is always better than a positional battle because the Bayern players in the frontcourt have not returned yet.

Now it's like a five-on-six.

Kaka gave the ball to his right foot.

He quickly went through the position information of all the players in the front area of ​​the penalty area in his mind.

Then, he wants to be in this mess of information.

Find the most correct path.

That one.

The road to victory!
