My uncle is Inzaghi

Guardiola's strange formation really caught Real Madrid off guard.

Especially after they took the lead.

Bayern's midfield control, formed by five midfielders, was very strong.

They kept passing the ball, and their strong ball control ability forced Real Madrid to commit frequent fouls.

Now Bayern Munich really has no psychological barriers at all. They took the lead and scored an away goal.

And they can do more than just control the ball.

If Real Madrid dares to press forward and pull players from the back line to the midfield for pressing, then Bayern Munich will not hesitate to hit them from behind.

The attacking line composed of Lewandowski, Gotze, and Thomas Muller is also very strong.

"Real Madrid lost the ball at home, which is a bad situation for them. In German football, many people criticized Guardiola for turning Bayern Munich into a boring possession team, but now their ball possession has become Real Madrid's biggest trouble."

"Zidane must find a way. If they lose at home, the possibility of them advancing in the second round at the Allianz Arena will be too low."

"Bayern is still Bayern!"

The commentators shook their heads.

Now everyone thinks that Bayern Munich has a greater chance of advancing.

Just as they were talking.

Bayern really launched an attack.

Gotze's shot in the penalty area hit the post and went wide.

Bayern Munich almost led by two goals.

The ball returned to Real Madrid.

Real Madrid did not dare to lose the ball easily.

Bayern Munich's midfield control made them a little scalp numb.

Guardiola's strange formation was completely aimed at ball possession.

Once the ball is back at Bayern's feet, Bayern Munich can control it for two or three minutes.

Who can stand this?

And Gotze's shot before also gave Real Madrid a warning.

Bayern Munich's ball control is not just about controlling the ball, they may launch a fatal attack at any time.

It's like a sword of Damocles, hanging over Real Madrid's head at any time and anywhere.

Football is a sport for eleven people.

No matter how good Li Mo is.

With him alone, it is impossible to break Bayern Munich's "ball control tactics".

So.

The key to the problem still lies in Real Madrid itself.

It lies in the quality of Real Madrid's offense.

As long as they can score and complete the reversal.

It doesn't matter if Bayern controls the ball forever.

Li Mo passed the ball several times with his teammates in the midfield, but he didn't find the space to pass the ball into Bayern Munich's penalty area through passing.

Of course.

It's not impossible to create space.

Real Madrid's offensive ability is very strong now - but there is a premise that if you want to tear open the opponent's dense defense in the midfield and backcourt, you have to let the backcourt players come up.

Generally speaking.

Real Madrid will adopt the method of concentrating people in a certain area, preferably forming a numerical advantage in the area, even if there is no advantage, it is best to have an equal number of people, so that Real Madrid can use the individual ability of its players to create opportunities.

But this method can be used against other teams, but it is not good enough to deal with Bayern Munich.

Because Bayern Munich's players are also very capable, and once they are intercepted by them.

The problem of the empty number of people in Real Madrid's backcourt will be immediately used.

The reason why Bayern is a super strong team.

Compared with ordinary teams.

is that they have a strong ability to seize opportunities.

For example.

In a game, they also create 10 opportunities.

Bayern Munich may be able to score two or three.

And Munich 1860 may not be able to seize a single opportunity.

This is why.

This is why forwards are often more expensive than midfielders and defenders.

Thinking of this.

Li Mo took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to discuss with Xabi Alonso, Kroos, and Modric.

"From the air?"

"Yes! From the air!"

Li Mo laid out his thoughts.

In order to avoid the opponent's counterattack, it is best not to let the backcourt players come up.

Then we need to develop the ball to the opponent's dangerous area.

We can only go through the air.

Ground penetration.

Too complicated.

"But, isn't this too simple?" Modric hesitated.

"Sometimes, the simplest is the strongest!" Li Mo said.

"I think we can give it a try!" Kroos said, "Although they have three defenders, Rafinha is a full-back, and the two central defenders Benatia and Boateng may not be able to compete with Li. We can just play to Li's advantage in physical confrontation!"

"I agree!" Xabi Alonso said.

Several core players thought this was possible.

Then the tactics of Real Madrid changed quickly.

They no longer pursued completely tearing apart the opponent's defense, but passed the ball from the wing to the penalty area!

Li Mo retreated to receive the ball as usual.

Then he ran forward.

This time.

He ran directly into the penalty area.

Boateng quickly followed.

Benatia was also facing a great enemy.

Bayern Munich's midfield immediately shrank and completely surrounded Li Mo to prevent him from receiving any ground passes - if Li Mo received the ball at his feet and played with his back in the penalty area, what would be the difference between that and giving him a shot?

But this time Real Madrid did not pass the ground.

Bale dribbled the ball on the wing, he cut inside, continued to open up the space on the wing, and a figure passed by him.

Bale directly passed the ball forward along the sideline.

"I thought I had your speed!"

Marcelo cursed in his heart, and the Brazilian had to step out with his short legs, gritting his teeth and accelerating. Finally, before the ball went out of the baseline, he hooked the ball into the penalty area with his left foot!

"Marcelo crosses the ball!"

"The ball is a bit slow"

"Look at the middle"

The commentators all felt that this cross ball was not threatening.

The pass was hasty, the ball was slow, and it was floating.

It was high and floating.

In amateur competitions, this kind of high and floating ball often works miracles.

But this was in the Champions League semi-finals, the top competition.

How could Bayern's defensive players let the offensive players head such a ball.

Soon.

Bayern's defensive players completed the division of labor.

Rafinha went to stare at Bale who entered the penalty area.

Boateng and Benatia sandwiched Li Mo in front and behind.

Boateng, who was behind Li Mo, grabbed Li Mo's jersey with one hand and stretched his feet forward, constantly interfering and entangled Li Mo.

And Benatia kept leaning back.

The two Bayern central defenders almost turned Li Mo into a sandwich.

Li Mo also put one hand on Benatia's shoulder and stretched the other hand back to push Boateng away as much as possible.

All three of them made moves.

Strictly speaking.

All three of them were considered fouls.

But this is the penalty area.

Although strictly speaking, there is no difference in the rules inside and outside the penalty area.

But the referee usually turns a blind eye to small movements in the penalty area.

If there is a little movement, it will be blown.

There must be more than a dozen penalties in that game!

The referee stared at the three people in the penalty area. As long as anyone used excessive force to pull someone, he would blow a foul.

Boateng and Benatia knew this.

It is impossible for them to keep pulling, usually once they exert force, they let go and then entangle again.

Li Mo was waiting for this time difference

When the football fell from the air.

Li Mo suddenly gritted his teeth and retreated!

Li Mo, who was sandwiched in the middle, withdrew from between the two.

Although his clothes were still pulled by Boateng, he already had room to move.

Li Mo immediately exerted force with his thighs, turned his body sideways, and opened his arms

This time, he pressed the two behind him.

From the sandwich position to the position of one dragon pressing two phoenixes (the phoenix is ​​male, thank you).

Li Mo did not jump either.

His physical confrontation is very strong.

But not so strong that he can be uninterrupted in the air.

He knew that once he jumped, he would immediately face the physical confrontation between Benatia and Boateng.

Under the collision of the two, he was not sure to complete the header.

So it was better to stop the ball.

Li Mo's strong thighs seemed to be rooted in the grass. He held the two people behind him tightly, then used his chest to cushion the ball forward, and then quickly took a step forward.

This step allowed him to gain a little distance.

Benatia and Boateng immediately reattached.

Benatia was still planning to go around in front of Li Mo and destroy the ball.

Boateng stared at Li Mo's feet. As long as Li Mo stopped the ball, he would immediately stretch his foot from behind. Even if he couldn't poke the ball away, he would prevent Li Mo from shooting.

But Boateng didn't see the ball land.

When Li Mo cushioned the ball with his chest and took a step forward, he did intend to wait for the ball to stop on the ground before trying to shoot.

But Benatia's detour relieved the pressure he faced.

Before the ball landed.

He changed his mind.

Li Mo raised his left foot.

An angle was formed between the instep and the front bone of the calf.

Just caught the ball falling in the air.

Then his foot suddenly swung upwards like a cow's tail.

The football rose slightly into the air and flew over the head of Benatia who had not yet completed his forward defense.

At the same time.

Li Mo turned around.

He passed by Benatia.

Benatia did not have time to think about it, he stretched out his hand and tried to pull Li Mo.

He pulled Li Mo's jersey.

The player was almost stretched straight.

It formed a triangular cone shape.

But thanks to the Real Madrid jersey sponsor, the jersey provided was of good quality and elasticity.

This elasticity allowed Li Mo to turn around.

He opened one hand and pushed Boateng away a little bit.

At this time.

The ball fell from the air.

The commentators in the commentary booth stared.

Li Mo swung the ball and turned around, this action was too fast.

The commentators did not have time to react.

But it was obvious what Li Mo was going to do.

He did not lift his feet or swing his legs.

Because it was too late.

He just took advantage of the momentum of turning around.

He raised his right foot slightly and shot a small arc!

His instep swept the middle of the football, and the football did not fly upward, but downward.

Neuer also saw Li Mo's action.

He was ready to save the ball.

But just as he was about to save it.

The football bounced on the grass, and then bounced up again. The grass in the penalty area was not as flat as it was at the beginning of the game.

There were some pits trampled by the players.

This caused the football to change direction significantly after it bounced up.

This change of direction made Neuer only sigh at the ball.

This shot was not particularly fast.

From the middle.

The ball flew into the goal above Neuer's feet as he dived sideways.

"Li Mo played the violin in the penalty area! Oh! So beautiful!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

"Li Mo! Beautiful goal! Oh! His movements were so light! It can't be described as light, but at the same time, it was full of power and confrontation!"

Ole Gross exclaimed with his head in his hands.

The Bernabeu Stadium was completely boiling when the football flew into the goal.

The camera set up in the stands was shaking violently.

The whole stadium cheered.

The commentary booth was boiling.

The Real Madrid coaching bench and the people on the bench also held their heads in their hands.

The Real Madrid players even forgot to celebrate the goal.

Xabi Alonso held his head in his hands. He didn't expect Li Mo to score a goal on his first attempt to strike from the air!

And it was such an explosive goal!

In the penalty area.

Li Mo took on two opponents, controlled Marcelo's bad cross, and then sent the ball into the goal.

It was incredible!

Marcelo lost his balance after completing the cross, and then slid along the grass until he hit the billboard.

This also allowed him to witness the whole process of Li Mo's goal.

"Another assist bonus!"

The Brazilian thought with some pride.

Well.

Assist.

Sometimes.

It's that simple.

Guardiola held his head with both hands and looked at his own goal in disbelief.

He could never have expected that someone could score such a goal.

This should be a completely unreasonable goal.

It's too unreasonable.

Being sandwiched between two central defenders, it was like a sandwich.

The football was still the kind that was high and floating.

In this situation.

How else can you score a goal?

Li Mo gave Guardiola the answer.

Guardiola knew that Bayern was in trouble again.

Guardiola's prediction was correct.

Real Madrid then started to cross the ball without thinking.

Even Marcelo's cross was as bad as shit, but Li Mo could score a goal.

Then why are we still rubbing around outside?

Can't we be more direct?

Faced with such a rough and unreasonable method.

Bayern Munich actually had no way out.

Because Benatia and Boateng could never stop Li Mo.

Li Mo's running position was very flexible and his body was strong.

His judgment of the landing point was abnormally accurate.

This really made it difficult for Bayern Munich to deal with

Seventeenth minute of the game.

Li Mo shook off Bayern's defense by changing the rhythm of his running position, then jumped high and headed for the goal.

Neuer flew to save the ball.

The football was slightly flicked by his fingertips.

After a slight change of direction, it hit the post with a bang and bounced back into the penalty area. Di Maria rushed in to make up for the shot, but was cleared by Lahm who was back to defend.

Bernabeu sighed with regret.

The camera quickly locked onto Guardiola on the sidelines.

The camera language made it clear: Bayern must come up with a way to deal with Real Madrid's attack! (End of this chapter)
