Chapter 744: A good start


"Good opportunity, long pass from Toni Kroos" "Luis Suarez" Tens of thousands of fans in the entire Glory Stadium raised their heads and saw on the big screen, on the green football field, Toni Kroos made a precise long pass from the backcourt, and quickly passed the ball from the front of the penalty area to Bayern Munich half-time.

Almost at the moment he passed the ball, Suarez quickly sprinted past Dante.

When the Brazilian central defender reacted and wanted to turn around and catch up, Suarez had already left him far behind.

But Bayern Munich's defense is not the only one Dante.

"Jerome Boateng returns to defense" The two quickly competed for speed in Bayern Munich's half.

Jerome Boateng was not defeated by Suarez at all, and could even use his strong body to squeeze the Uruguayan striker.

But just when everyone was worried about the contest between Suarez and Boateng, suddenly a figure flashed in front of them.

I saw Bayern Munich goalkeeper Kraft rushing out of the penalty area at some unknown moment.

"ah" All the Saints fans in the Glory Square let out an exclamation.

Because Suarez has no chance against Boateng and Kraft.

But just when everyone thought it was over, Kraft actually chose to head the ball away.

At this moment, everyone realized that he could not use his hands According to the rules, the goalkeeper cannot use his hands after rushing out of the penalty area.

Kraft also realized that his move out of the penalty area was dangerous, so as soon as he cleared the ball, he immediately turned around and ran back to the goal as soon as he landed.

But after all, he was using his head, and the ball he cleared did not fall far.

And just when the ball was about to hit the ground, Ibrahimovic, who had just followed Suarez and rushed forward, but at a slower speed and was lagging behind, rushed into the 30-meter area of ​​Bayern Munich. .

As soon as he saw the ball flying out, he immediately accelerated and rushed forward.

"Ibrahimovic" I don't know who shouted this, and then I heard a bang.

I saw the Swedish center hit the ball and volleyed it directly into the air.

Kraft's speed when running back to the goal is very fast, but no matter how fast he is, can he go faster than the ball?

When he ran back to the small penalty area, Ibrahimovic's volley had already sent the ball into the bottom of the net.

stunned Everyone was shocked at this moment It's only been less than ten minutes since the game started, and Bayern Munich made such a stupid mistake.

Kraft was stunned.

He stared blankly at the beating ball in the goal, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He started to get scared He knew very well how reckless and even stupid the attack just now was.

Because even if he didn't attack, with the advantage that Jerome Boateng had just stood on, Suarez would be hard-pressed to create much of a threat, but his attack gave Ibrahimovic a chance to hit an empty goal.

Jerome Boateng, who chased back to the goal, fished the ball out of the goal and shot it into the sky with force, venting his anger without even looking at Kraft.

The entire Bayern Munich fans at the Allianz Arena seemed to suddenly wake up and let out a burst of overwhelming boos and even curses, obviously expressing their dissatisfaction with Kraft.

"Stupid, this was a stupid mistake" "Since Kraft became Bayern Munich's main goalkeeper, the youth goalkeeper has been controversial.

He has had excellent performances, but he often makes some weird mistakes, which is difficult to reassure."

"This time, his nerve knife broke out again, and it was still in such a crucial Champions League semi-finals."

"One to zero, Bayern Munich gave Southampton a valuable away goal just over eight minutes into the game due to a poor goalkeeper error."

"Guardiola also seemed very dissatisfied.

Such a mistake was very inappropriate.

As a head coach, he should have made more calculations, but if the goalkeeper made such a mistake, I'm afraid it was not within the scope of his calculations."

The voice of the TV commentator filled the air.

On the big screen, Southampton players were shown celebrating, especially Ibrahimovic, who even cheered and whizzed past Guardiola and gave coach Bielsa a tight hug on the sidelines. this is a demonstration This is how Ibrahimovic wants to tell Guardiola, it’s not that I don’t have the ability, it’s that you are not qualified to use me.

Outside the big screen, tens of thousands of Saints fans were so excited that they forgot all about it, singing and shouting loudly.

The entire sky above the Glory Square was filled with cheers from the fans. one to zero Just eight minutes into the game, we took the lead by one goal.

Is there any better, more ideal start than this?

The moment Ibrahimovic scored, Yang Huan felt as if he was electrocuted.

He jumped up from his seat, clenched his fists, and made a celebration gesture with excitement.

“Awesome, wonderful”

“Well done, Zlatan.”

"No, the volley was great."

"This goal is so crucial.

I scored with the first shot of the game.

It's a good start."

Compared with the praise from Southampton's management, Bayern Munich's senior executives seemed a little lonely.

The club's interim president, Herbert Heiner, pointed at the court angrily, "How did Kraft make such an important game and make such a stupid mistake from the beginning?

Didn't he know that this game was important?"

How important is it?”

The chairman of Adidas is obviously very angry.

Is it true?

When Yang Huan sat down again, Beckenbauer also took over.

"Actually, Kraft's mistake on this goal was really stupid, but before that, our team's problems were also very serious."

"You're right," Rummenigge took over.

"Southampton's defense is very targeted.

Ribery was fighting alone on the wing just now.

After the ball was intercepted, no one responded immediately.

Nick Ross presses."

"It can be said that Toni Kroos's precise long pass played a key role.

Even if Kraft made no mistakes, the battle between Suarez and Boateng is still unknown."

When a superstar of Suarez's level will suddenly give you a surprise, you can't figure it out.

The court is changing rapidly.

Boateng and Suarez are one-on-one.

Who dares to say that they are sure to win?

But when it comes to Toni Kroos, Rummenigge feels a little embarrassed.

They were the ones who personally sent Toni Kroos to Southampton in the first place.

Even though they paid a sky-high price of 60 million euros, it was a very successful deal from any point of view.

However, watching the players you have trained help your opponent score goals at your home court is really a slap in the face and embarrassing.

"Everyone is now focused on Kraft's mistake, but Guardiola should be awake enough to notice the team's current problems, otherwise, Southampton will continue to pose a threat," Beckenbauer said in an earnest analysis. .

But it was obvious that as the game restarted, Guardiola, as Bayern Munich's management said, realized the core problem and immediately made adjustments to the team.

For example, move Bastian Schweinsteiger further forward.

Don't underestimate this adjustment, just move forward like this, and Bayern Munich's frontcourt offense will be much smoother, and there will be points to connect to the two wings of Ribery and Robben.

But the offense has improved, but it does not mean that it can create a threat.

Southampton continued to adopt the tactics they used at the beginning, with no intention of pursuing the victory or competing with Bayern Munich for possession of the ball and gaining more initiative in the game.

Bayern Munich continued to control the game and continued to have a considerable advantage in possession, but there was no way to create a threat in front of Southampton's goal.

This was indeed quite depressing.

Beckenbauer and others sitting in the chairman's stand could not help but shake their heads.

"We were too slow," sighed Beckenbauer.

"Excessive pursuit of ball possession led to our passing being too stable and lacking speed when advancing.

Finally, by the time we advanced to Southampton's 30-meter area, the Saints had already organized the defense on all three lines."

At this point, Beckenbauer sighed again, but this time the sigh contained admiration.

"Belsa's team is so well organized defensively and has strong tactical discipline.

Every player is fighting for the team.

Therefore, they can equip a double midfielder combination like Toni Kroos and Modric.

If they change If you go to other teams, you will definitely need a strong defensive midfielder.”

"The other two central defenders are also very good.

Javi Martinez is the commander of the defense.

Varane's performance in the defense is hard to believe.

He has just turned 21.

Looking at our defense, Dante Obviously not suitable for Guardiola’s tactics” Rummenigge also nodded frequently and felt that what Beckenbauer said was very reasonable.

"We sit in the stands and have a clear view, but in the stadium, Guardiola may not be able to see clearly, and he also needs to consider more, but we must make adjustments in the transition between offense and defense."

"As Franz said, when switching from defense to offense, the advancement speed is too slow, but the problem from offense to defense is even more serious.

We failed to regain the ball in the midfield and frontcourt at the first time, and we did not even give it in time.

Opponent pressure.”

"Southampton's double midfielders and midfielder are all capable of planning a counterattack as soon as they steal the ball, so after they steal the ball, they immediately launch a long pass and play behind the defense, which will be very dangerous for us."

Herbert Hainer was a little worried after hearing this, "Don't we have other effective ways?"

Beckenbauer and Rummenigge looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

"Everything has a solution, but if this is solved, other problems will definitely arise, so the key lies in how Guardiola views this game and his preparation, arrangements and training before the game."

Beckenbauer, who has also been a head coach, nodded with great agreement: "Southampton must have practiced counterattacks, and practiced hard.

Otherwise, Toni Kroos wouldn't have gone to Suarez immediately.

Ibrahimovic Rashimović wouldn’t just happen to come in and form the second offensive echelon.”

"Guardiola is in trouble now.

He is one goal behind at home.

He must attack.

He can't do it without attacking.

But now there is a problem with the offense and he cannot penetrate into Southampton's hinterland to create a threat."

"On the contrary, it's us.

The higher the ball possession rate, the more mistakes we make, and the greater the probability that Southampton will seize the opportunity to counterattack."

"Then, give up possession" Herbert Heiner suggested.

Unexpectedly, when he said these words, not only Rummenigge and Beckenbauer showed helpless and embarrassed expressions, but even Yang Huan almost laughed in his heart.

It should be said that Beckenbauer and Rummenigge were right in their analysis.

After watching the game so far, Yang Huan had to lament that Bielsa's targeted tactics were indeed extremely sharp and almost hit Bayern Munich's Achilles' heel and weakness.

At the same time, it also created a big problem for Guardiola.

If they can no longer solve the problem of weak offense, the more they have the ball, the more dangerous they will be.

But if you don’t control the ball, you will die faster:
