Chapter 867 Don't Admit Defeat so Early!

"!!!!!!"

The on-site commentator of the People's Park Stadium resounded through the audience as if he was about to tear his voice out.

Immediately afterwards, Abu Bakar, the leading scorer in the Bundesliga, rushed out of Bayern Munich's penalty area and rushed all the way to the sidelines, celebrating his goal with a beautiful kneeling action.

This is a valuable first record!

More importantly, the opponent in this game is the class bully from the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich!

Behind him, his teammates rushed forward one after another, and finally hugged tightly into a ball.

In the stands, almost all the fans stood up and applauded for them.

So beautiful, so wonderful!

"Only thirteen minutes into the game, Hamburg took the lead in using a quick counterattack to knock on Bayern Munich's goal!"

"All Hamburg fans, let's cheer together, cheer together, celebrate the team's goal together!"

"Remember our offensive heroes, the great African cheetah, Abu Bakar, and our magician from Brazil, Douglas Costa, and finally, we must not forget our young midfielder, Weigel..."

When the on-site commentator read to the end, almost the whole audience cheered.

That kind of momentum, that momentum, made the opponent tremble with fear.

In front of the coaching bench of the visiting team, Guardiola was shaking his head vigorously, and kept saying annoyedly, "Wrong, wrong, wrong, I was wrong!"

Obviously, he was regretting his first impromptu change.

"We still underestimated Hamburg!" Assistant coach Carlos Planchot also shook his head and sighed.

He was Guardiola's right-hand man when he coached Barcelona. He was good at observing players and tactical analysis.

"Yeah, Lewandowski and Thomas Müller are on the sidelines. Although the two sides' offense is alive, once we lose the ball in the frontcourt, no one can put it on the spot in time. Counter-attacks, especially in the middle of the pitch."

Domenech Torrent is also Guardiola's most important tactical analyst,

He shook his head helplessly and sighed.

For that goal just now, after Alderweireld steals the ball, there is no one in the middle area where Weigel is located, and no one is pressing for the first time. Even after Weigel dribbled the ball forward, the midfielder kept up with the speed Also slower.

As for, Weigel later passed to Douglas Costa, and the latter broke through Jerome Boateng one-on-one. The whole process is a natural continuation of the previous mistakes, and there is nothing worth studying and discussing.

After all, it was the first time that after the adjustment of the on-the-spot command, it led to the weakening of the on-the-spot counterattack in the frontcourt. Hamburg seized the opportunity and passed it to the frontcourt, easily slamming the defender.

But it cannot be said that the first adjustment was a mistake.

Because, if you look at it from the perspective of strengthening the rib attack, the first adjustment worked.

"What do we do now?" Domenech Torrent looked at Guardiola.

At this time, it is very necessary for the head coach to come up with a decision.

Do you want to continue to stick to the tactics after the first adjustment? Or do you need to make further adjustments based on the game scene?

With Guardiola's dark eyes fixed on the pitch, the game resumed.

"Wait a little longer, let's see."

But soon, Guardiola made fine-tuning, "Tell Thomas Muller not to go to the left."

This is also a compromise method. Thomas Muller's running ability and enthusiasm keep him in the middle, which is also a great supplement to the frontcourt's on-the-spot counterattack.

But Hamburg also realized this problem after several trials, and Tuchel immediately made fine-tuning so that after Hamburg could steal the ball in the backcourt, there would always be a player who could make room to instigate a counterattack.

"Our midfielders don't press well enough!" Carlos Planchot said.

Seeing that Hamburg played two or three more threatening offenses, especially the two wings.

Douglas Costa and Kingsley Coman are too active on the two wings, plus there is Abu Bakar who can be called a cheetah in the middle, Hamburg's pair of front tridents are not easy to deal with.

Moreover, they not only can attack, but also contribute a lot on the defensive end.

Of course, Hamburg's midfield is the key link in their frontcourt pressing.

Especially Klassey, his contributions on both offensive and defensive ends are too eye-catching.

Seeing that his offensive tactics on both ribs have been figured out, and the opponent took the opportunity to play a threatening attack, Guardiola also realized that he had to make adjustments.

"Domenech, give up the frontcourt oppressive tactics, retreat!" Guardiola said lightly.

"What? Retracement?" Domenech Torrent was a little surprised.

He immediately understood Guardiola's meaning in his mind, "Pep, we have only practiced tactics like Southampton's a few times. Now we use it, will it..."

Guardiola shook his head, "Hamburg is using the frontcourt to press and press. We retreated to restrain them at the peak of their martial arts."

This theory is indeed correct.

Because all teams that press and press in the frontcourt will leave a lot of space behind them.

If Bayern Munich can stabilize their team's defense at this time, and then play Hamburg's counterattack, then a large gap behind Hamburg's defense will be exposed.

Directly instigated by the midfielder and backcourt, initiate a long pass, find the frontcourt, use the ability of the frontcourt players to hold the ball, and then increase the speed in an instant to launch an attack. This is simply fatal for a high-defense team like Hamburg.

There is such a style of play in the tactics used by Southampton this season.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Bielsa's team does not seem to be as advanced as before, and it is not as strong in the frontcourt. The main battlefield for the ball is placed around the center line.

To put it bluntly, it is not the decline in the control of Bielsa's team, but the result of adjustments at the tactical level.

Proper retraction can block the gap behind the forward press of the back line and reduce the risk of being hit back.

Secondly, the frontcourt players have excellent personal abilities, they should withdraw properly, and then the midfielder will launch a long pass to plan a counterattack. As soon as the ball reaches the frontcourt, the team will immediately accelerate. Then plug in and hit the opponent by surprise.

One of the important reasons why Guardiola decided to introduce Xavi Alonso at the last moment of the transfer period was the Spanish midfielder's precise backcourt long pass.

As for the frontcourt, it goes without saying that Ribery and Robben have personal abilities. Lewandowski is also the world's top frontcourt fulcrum, and Thomas Muller is even more of a frontcourt jack-of-all-trades player.

With such a frontcourt combination, as long as Bayern Munich has the right tactics, who are they afraid of?

Guardiola's adjustment showed on the court that Bayern Munich retreated, and then made more use of vertical passes such as long passes and through balls to attack from the backcourt.

However, Hamburg still adopts high defensive tactics and wants to continue the previous effective tactics.

But the problem now is that Bayern Munich has a backcourt and is slow.

The Hamburg team pressed in the frontcourt, but there was a feeling of being chased by Bayern Munich's midfielder and backcourt.

But once the opportunity is seized, it seems that this time...

Harvey Alonso retreated to a position almost level with the central defender to take the ball, glanced ahead, and directly made a long-range pass.

The point of this pass was behind the Hamburg defense line, and it was Robben who was looking for it.

Although Hamburg left-back Osterjollek reacted immediately, Robben was faster. After successfully countering offside, he grabbed the ball before Osterjolake, unloaded the ball, and made an emergency stop.

Osterjolake rushed too hard and couldn't hold back the momentum, so he could only watch Robben dribble the ball inside.

Lewandowski pinned down the two central defenders, and Robben cut inside, which attracted Weigel again.

The Dutch winger crossed the front of the penalty area, Thomas Muller rushed up, dunked the ball past Emre Can and made it overnight, one to one!

There was a burst of sighs from the entire People's Park Stadium!

How long is this ahead?

It's about twenty minutes.

As a result, Bayern Munich now equalized the score!

Amidst the sighs and boos of the audience, Yang Huan, who was sitting in the chairman's stand, shook his head and smiled wryly.

This is the advantage of strength and a strong lineup.

Bayern Munich's strong control gave Guardiola the confidence to adopt this set of tactics.

Similarly, Southampton, which has excellent control, can also adopt such a tactical play.

But what about hamburgers?

Not a burger!

The midfield composed of Weigel, Klassey and Baddeley is indeed excellent in terms of defense and pressure, but in terms of control, let alone Bayern Munich, even compared with Arsenal, it is greatly not as good as.

"Guardiola's tactics are very similar to your Southampton!" Kuhn said with a chuckle.

At his age, he has already reached the point where he can't be flattered or humiliated, so how could he affect his mood because of a conceded goal in Hamburg?

"Yes, the head coach Guardiola has a really strong learning ability, and he is modest enough and willing to delve into it. This is really important for a head coach!"

Someone once asked Yang Huan, what is the difference between Ferguson and Mourinho?

Yang Huan's answer was that Ferguson was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, while Mourinho was hard-mouthed but not soft-hearted.

Don't look at Ferguson's loud talk all day long, and his tone is too hard, but he knows himself very well in his heart, and he is very good at learning the strengths of his opponents, and absorbing them for his own use.

But what about Mourinho?

He is also talking all over the sky, but from his debut to the present, it is almost impossible to see that he has made any progress.

Even in the season when he led Inter Milan to win the Champions League, it was rumored to be miraculous, but in fact, he just brought his usual advantages to the extreme.

But Guardiola is different from Ferguson. The former is more persistent and prefers to study.

Perhaps, this has something to do with Guardiola leading the world football tactical trend as soon as he debuted.

And Bielsa has always been at the forefront of the trend of professional football tactics, and he has not changed for many years.

Therefore, head coaches like Guardiola and Bielsa must constantly study, forge ahead, and break through themselves in order to maintain the momentum of progress.

As for Tuchel, for the time being, Guardiola and Bielsa can only be the targets of catching up.

If the first goal was a bit sudden, then the goal that Bayern Munich reversed fully reflected the current bottleneck of Hamburg and Tuchel, as well as the huge gap in the overall strength of the two sides.

Less than ten minutes after Bayern Munich scored the first goal, another long pass from the backcourt accurately found Lewandowski, who went forward offside and unloaded the ball Formed a single-handedly, and finally picked the goalkeeper Oblak succeeded, two to one!

From the previous one-to-zero lead, to now falling behind by two goals in a row, Hamburg's great advantage was lost in an instant.

This goal happened in the forty-fourth minute, and the first half was about to end.

After Lewandowski's goal, Kuhn shook his head helplessly and sighed, "It seems that Bayern Munich can't do anything in this battle!"

But after he finished speaking, Yang Huan shook his head and said, "Mr. Kuhn, let's not admit defeat so early!"
