The Godfather of Football

Mauro Tassotti once asked Ye Qiu, why do you like to attack after the opening?

Ye Qiu gave him an unexpected answer, which was very simple. I want to unify the thoughts of all the team members from the beginning.

When analyzing Bayern Munich's tactics, Ye Qiu attached great importance to the opening tactics. When listing Bayern Munich's opening, the biggest phenomenon showed that this team lacked the explosive power of the opening. In other words, this team is not a team that can quickly play after the opening. They are more cautious, especially when facing some teams with similar strength or better than them, they will choose more cautious tactics to open the game.

Perhaps this has something to do with Heynckes and the current composition of the Bayern Munich team. After all, to be honest, this team does not have too proud individual strength. It is completely the style of the traditional German team. The overall combat is at best relatively good in terms of technology.

But if we look at the technical level, Bayern Munich is inferior to Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, not to mention Barcelona and Real Madrid, the two major Spanish Super League teams, but their overall combat capability is very strong and their overall awareness is excellent. This is their advantage and the traditional feature of German football.

Because of this feature, it is difficult for them to have explosive power, because they rely on the whole to do everything.

Robben may be the only player in Bayern Munich who can challenge the opponent's defense alone, but Robben's weakness has always been obvious. If he plays on the right, cutting inside is his ultimate weapon, but if his cutting inside is blocked, his threat will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Bayern Munich always seems to be very cautious at the beginning, which is actually related to their overall style. After all, they have to fight as a whole, and the overall combat must first figure out the opponent's routine, familiarize themselves with and run in the internal operation of the team, so that this German tank can rumble and run.

But the question is, no matter how fast the tank is, can it be faster than a sports car?

Tottenham's frontcourt players have strong personal abilities, excellent ability to hold and pass the ball, and very fast speed. This means that if Tottenham wants to play a good opening attack, they don't need to do too much. They can hand the ball to the frontcourt players as soon as possible, and the players behind will follow up. The overall pressure will naturally form an attack situation.

However, in order to ensure the risk, Ye Qiu must minimize the risk of the opponent's counterattack while attacking.

So in this game, Marcelo played as a left winger, Vidal retreated very deep, almost to the position of left back, specifically restricting Robben's side, and Ramsey was cruising near Pirlo, responding to Pirlo anytime and anywhere to prevent Pirlo from being suppressed by Mandzukic and Toni Kroos, and ensuring the midfield pass.

The start of this game was actually within the calculations of Ye Qiu and the coaching staff, and what Tottenham did was to try to score a goal before Bayern Munich reacted and stabilized the situation. Ye Qiu's initial estimate was more than 20 minutes.

In other words, with Tottenham's strong offensive power, they can suppress Bayern Munich for 20 minutes, but if they can't defeat the opponent within 20 minutes, the team will adjust again, slow down the rhythm, and compete with Bayern Munich for the ball, which is another set of play.

During the entire game, even at the last moment, if it is still 0:0 or a draw, what kind of offensive tactics Tottenham will adopt in the last 20 minutes, Ye Qiu has made very detailed arrangements and arrangements.

But many times, the development of the situation is completely unexpected. Less than five minutes after the start, Tottenham seized an opportunity. Messi took the ball in the middle and passed it diagonally behind him. Ribery shook off Alaba and cut in from the right at high speed, rushing to the penalty area. After receiving the ball, he rushed directly into the penalty area of ​​Bayern Munich.

Facing Dante, one on one, Ribery dribbled the ball and changed his feints. Dante didn't dare to kick easily, because he knew very well that a foul here would result in a penalty kick, so he moved with Ribery, but the Frenchman was small, had a low center of gravity, and was very flexible. A feint seemed to kick the ball to the bottom line, tricking Dante into blocking, but he made a quick dunk and dunked past Dante.

As soon as Dante was passed, the entire Bayern Munich penalty area became a mess. Boateng rushed up quickly, but Ribery pushed the ball forward with his left foot. The ball almost rolled over the white dot of the penalty kick and rolled to the left. Cavani rushed up from behind and shot the ball directly with a strong volley.

The ball went into the lower left corner of the goal with a thunderous momentum, almost sticking to the grass, 1:0! ! ! ! ! ! !

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Perfect start! Very, very perfect start!!!"

"Less than five minutes into the game, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in knocking on Bayern Munich's goal, 1:0!"

"The goal came from Uruguayan center forward Cavani, which was assisted by French star Ribery. Tottenham Hotspur's entire attack was very sharp, and Bayern Munich almost had no ability to block it!!!"

Tottenham Hotspur rushed out of the stadium and rushed to the stands dyed white by Tottenham Hotspur fans, cheering loudly, while the fans in the stands rushed into their seats excitedly, with ferocious expressions, and they almost wanted to shout their throats out.

Bayern Munich looked depressed, especially the head coach Heynckes on the sidelines, who was shocked. His mouth was wide open and people could feel his surprise. From the beginning, he was surprised by Tottenham Hotspur's deployment and reminded the players to be careful, but in the end they were scored.

Caution, this was his pre-match arrangement, but he didn't think it was wrong to be cautious. You must be cautious when playing Tottenham Hotspur, especially for a team like Bayern Munich that lacks explosive power, you need to be cautious, but the problem is that Tottenham Hotspur doesn't play slow with you from the beginning, but directly plays fast with you.

"This start is too deadly for Bayern Munich!"

Ferguson was also surprised by the development of the game. "Completely suppressed, less than five minutes in the first half, Bayern Munich did not even create any threat, but Tottenham created threats twice and scored a goal."

"In fact, many teams are facing this problem now. They will think that Tottenham's attack at the beginning is too strong, I defend, but the problem is, can you defend it? This is a problem, because the facts have proved that there are very, very many teams that can't defend at all after the opening, because Tottenham's attack is too strong."

"And I personally think that Ye Qiu's smartest thing is that he will consider before the game, that is, if the opponent in this game takes a defensive position, is it possible for him to defend, and what is the probability of defending. Once the probability is too high, he may give up the attack and adopt other strategies."

"So, as an opponent, you are too passive. Whether it is offense or defense, you blindly follow Tottenham's ideas and rhythm to play passively, then you will definitely Finished!"

After hearing Ferguson's analysis, the commentator was somewhat helpless, "Does Bayern Munich have no other way?"

"Yes!" Ferguson laughed, "There must be a way. First, you just defend, defend, keep the rhythm so fast, don't slow down. After half an hour, Tottenham Hotspur will run out of energy. If you still have the energy to attack, then you will have a certain advantage. "

"Another point is that you might as well just fight them with real weapons and fight them with all your strength. Instead, they may retreat. But I must remind Heynckes that according to Ye Qiu's usual character and style, he will continue to attack, and even attack more fiercely than before. You must be careful at this time and must not lose the second ball! "

Ferguson's admonition failed to reach the stadium. Only the fans watching the live broadcast on TV could know it, but it is obvious that Heynckes is also experienced. He knows this very well, so after losing the ball, he quickly walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly to the players, asking them to stabilize the formation and situation and focus on defense first.

After the restart, Tottenham Hotspur first let Bayern Munich pass the ball back, and slowly pressed forward, and soon formed the situation just now, but this time Bayern Munich was more stable, and Toni Kroos returned to the midfield and participated in the midfield's passing and organization.

Tottenham Hotspur still focused on pressing the opponent's ball route, forcing Bayern Munich to play more long passes. However, except for Robben's quick offside that almost created a threat, the other long passes were basically grabbed by Tottenham Hotspur in the first place, and Bayern Munich had few players following up, so it was difficult to grab the second place.

In this case, Tottenham Hotspur maintained strong attack pressure on Bayern Munich. Both sides had a fast rhythm and both sides played quickly, so there were more mistakes. However, Tottenham Hotspur did a good job in limiting Bayern Munich's straight pass route.

This back-and-forth attack between the two sides made the game very exciting. The rhythm was too fast, and the fans and spectators were also very excited.

This wave of fast-paced attack and defense lasted for more than ten minutes. Neither side was able to create effective opportunities. Tottenham Hotspur was unable to create a strong threat when Bayern Munich began to defend. The situation seemed to be in a stalemate. After all, Tottenham Hotspur also began to consciously slow down the pace of attack.

"The more it comes to this time, Bayern Munich must be more careful!" Ferguson is a veteran and has extremely rich experience in playing against Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, so he knows very well that the more careful you have to be at this time.

But less than a minute after he finished speaking, Marcelo made a straight pass from the left and passed it behind Lahm. Messi cut diagonally to the left bottom line, but this time Boateng blocked Messi well. With Lahm's timely return to defense, Messi could only protect the ball and then pass it back to Marcelo.

The Brazilian left-back stopped the ball, observed it, and rubbed a big pass with his left foot. The ball crossed most of the court and fell to the right, and was still handed over to Ribery.

The French scar-faced player stopped the ball with his chest, and the ball was kicked by his foot as if it was stuck. Seeing Alaba rushing up quickly, Ribery judged the timing and seized the opportunity to carry the ball to the bottom line.

Ribery's timing of the start was very clever. He started just in time when Alaba rushed forward and had not yet stood firm. Alaba was very passive at this time. He could not just watch Ribery break through. Once he was passed If it is hit, the penalty area will be very dangerous. After all, Cavani is still in the penalty area.

So Alaba reacted quickly, turned around and made a move to steal the ball, tripping Ribery with the ball to the right side of the penalty area. The referee Rizzoli blew the foul whistle and ran away. Came over and gave Alaba a yellow card and gave Tottenham a free kick in the frontcourt on the right side of the penalty area.

"This position is an indirect free kick. Bayern Munich must be careful with Tottenham Hotspur's set kicks, especially at high points!" Ferguson warned cautiously.

I saw Kompany, Thiago Silva, Cavani and other tall players pressing into Bayern Munich's penalty area. This suddenly made Bayern Munich's penalty area look chaotic, while Pirlo He was standing on the penalty spot and there was no one else around him.

Obviously, Tottenham Hotspur made it clear that Pirlo will take the penalty.

Because this free kick was a bit far away from the goal and a bit biased, Bayern Munich only deployed one player to line up the wall. The other players were defending Tottenham Hotspur players in the penalty area. After all, from this angle It is basically impossible to open the door directly, so the human wall is not very useful.

Pirlo looked at the penalty area, took a deep breath, and rushed forward quickly, but this time he did not hit a high ball, but pushed the ball directly into the penalty area.

I saw a white figure in the penalty area. He was short but very fast. He got ahead of the defensive players, stopped Pirlo's push, and protected the ball with his body. This immediately made Bayern Munich's defensive players panic. They were shocked, especially when they saw that the ball carrier was Messi.

Messi was blocked behind him and surrounded by defensive players. He dribbled the ball back and took the ball out of the penalty area. He flicked the ball with his left foot. After the ball was lifted off the ground, it bypassed the defensive player's feet. It fell to the left side of the top of the penalty area.

But I saw Ribery rushing up quickly from the side. The ball bounced off the ground after being raised by Messi, but the speed of the ball and the height of the rebound had slowed down, so Ribery rushed up and hit it directly with his right foot. Powerful volley.

Ram, who rushed forward, closed his eyes and jumped high, trying to use his body to stop Ribery's shot from the front of the penalty area, but the ball could only go around his side and turn an arc. Behind the line, he got into the upper right corner of the goal. This is an absolute blind spot, especially for right-footed Neuer.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"2:0!! Oh my God, Tottenham Hotspur leads by two goals in less than 20 minutes!!!!"

Heynckes on the sidelines raised his arms to the sky, with a look of disbelief and bewilderment on his face. He couldn't understand why he was scored so easily? Why is this seemingly simple defense so poorly organized?

He was a little confused, but he knew very, very well that this game was probably over for him and his team!

"Tottenham Hotspur's offensive ability is very good, but many people ignore their set-piece tactics because of their super sports goal scoring ability. Often, when you ignore a certain aspect of the opponent's ability, Sometimes, it is precisely this ability that will kill you."

Ferguson said with regret that up to this point in this game, to be honest, there is really not much suspense, because Tottenham Hotspur seems to be overwhelming and Bayern Munich has no ability to resist. .

There is no doubt that Heynckes has indeed put a lot of effort into this game, but on the one hand, the gap in strength is obvious, and on the other hand, Bayern Munich faces Tottenham Hotspur's change of formation. Considering It was not sufficient, or in other words, Heynckes did not consider that Ye Qiu would change his formation in such a battle or final.

"There is a very interesting phenomenon in this game that may have been ignored by everyone so far, and that is Messi!"

Ferguson's views and angles are different from most people's. Although Ribery passes and shoots every time, and his performance is very eye-catching, Messi's importance is also indispensable.

"Messi appears more often in the attacking midfielder, or between the attacking midfielder and the central midfielder. His presence makes Bastian Schweinsteiger and Gustavo very awkward, and it also makes Toni Kroos retreat. It’s embarrassing, but Messi’s presence is a booster for the team’s offense!”

"Just like the goal just now, Messi pulled the ball to the left and cooperated with Marcelo's attack. After failure, he knocked back to Marcelo. By this time, Bayern's defense had been attracted, and Messi Cello moved to the right with a big foot, creating a one-on-one situation between Ribery and Alaba.”

"To be honest, Alaba couldn't defend Ribery one-on-one, so he paid the price of a set-piece in the frontcourt and a yellow card, but he still couldn't defend and conceded the ball while defending the set-piece. ”

"Messi's position is very active. When the team attacks on the left, he moves to the left. When the team attacks on the right, he looks for Ribery. In this case, Tottenham Hotspur can easily form an offensive advantage in a local area. After all, their individual abilities are too strong, and Bayern Munich can only be suppressed again and again."

"And we should also note that Bayern Munich has not completely controlled the rhythm of the game so far. They have two shots, but they are long shots without threats. In other words, they have not found their own rhythm at all. This is a very dangerous thing for them."

"Now they are 0:2 behind. The most important thing for Bayern Munich is to defend and rebuild morale first, otherwise it will be difficult to reverse the situation in this game!" Ferguson was obviously pessimistic about the situation of Bayern Munich.
