Chapter 931 Are They All Fooling Around?

"Bayern Munich took the lead after the opening and launched a rush attack."

"Southampton still adopts a high defense and suppresses Bayern Munich through the frontcourt pressing. However, they appear to be relatively passive on the scene. The players seem to be a little uncomfortable. The rhythm of the game is controlled by Bayern Munich."

"However, although Bayern Munich had the advantage of possession, they failed to create a threat."

"It can be seen that Southampton has worked hard on defense, and the arrangement is very strict, especially the targeted defense in the midfield, compact and orderly oppression, making it difficult for Bayern Munich to pass the ball to the frontcourt smoothly .”

"Even if Bayern Munich's ball is successfully passed to the midfield, it will be difficult to take a step forward, and more will be suppressed on the two wings. Guardiola obviously still hopes to attack the opponent's defense through Bernat and Robben on the two wings. threaten."

...

Standing in front of the coach's bench, Guardiola couldn't help raising his head when he heard the commentator's words, glanced at the media stand area, and shook his head dumbfounded.

Nimi, I hope to create a threat through the wings?

I really fucked me up!

Don't you see that I can't get my wings out at all?

Fabregas and Danilo restrained Bernat, David Alaba and Di Maria restrained Robben, as soon as the two wings got the ball, they immediately formed a double team, no matter how good my players were, Can you pick two?

I really thought they were all Messi!

Thinking of this, Guardiola raised his head again, glanced at the stand where Messi appeared just now, and was secretly depressed.

Even Messi, he can't guarantee that he can win 1v2 every time, right?

Even in many cases, one-on-one is not very sure yet!

"Hi!" Torrent shook his head amusedly, "The narrator's perspective is just different from ours!"

"Isn't it? It's completely wrong!" Planchot laughed.

They are now forced by Southampton to get through the middle, and have to frequently walk on the two wings.

But in the eyes of the commentator, and even the fans,

They deliberately avoided defending the center of the hardest-hit area and took the two wings to create a threat. Who is right?

"Their trident puts a lot of pressure on us!" Guardiola said lightly.

He knows the player Sanchez. He is very hardworking and has super one-on-one ability. He is a typical small and fast attacker.

Suarez is also a player with a high concentration in the game, and he also contributed a lot in defense.

But it was Hazard who really caught Guardiola by surprise.

Seeing the current Hazard, he couldn't help but think of Messi back then, really similar!

"They are a bit like giving up possession now!" Torrent analyzed.

Guardiola nodded, "Strictly speaking, it is to give up the oppression and pressing of our defense and let our defenders control the ball."

However, it is useless, the defender cannot pass the ball to the midfield and the frontcourt, it is useless.

"Should we adjust?" Planchot asked.

Guardiola thought for a while, "Then let Dante and Boateng both pull to the side to open up the gap for the center."

After a pause, the Spaniard smiled slightly, "They want us to go to the side, but we don't want to attack the center as he wants. I want to see what else Bielsa can do."

After finishing speaking, Guardiola turned his head specifically and glanced at the Argentine squatting on the sidelines.

Damn it, it's this time, and you're still acting cool?

The first adjustment after Bayern Munich's opening game, it worked quickly.

With Dante and Boateng pulled wide, Southampton's two wingers, Sanchez and Hazard, had to follow suit.

There is no way, there are gains and losses, the ball is under the control of Bayern Munich, and Southampton can only respond passively.

And with Sanchez and Hazard being forced to the sideways, the space in the center came out.

Xavi Alonso and Lahm became very active and took the ball frequently.

As soon as they get the ball, they immediately advance with the ball, attracting Fabregas or Di Maria to grab it.

And as long as the two midfielders of the Saints attack, the defense will loosen.

The first shot of the game was after Di Maria went up to grab Lahm, Robben took the ball and cut inside, and passed it to Lewandowski, who singled out Varane's kick.

Although it failed to create a scoring opportunity, it was enough to wake up people.

Bielsa immediately jumped up from the ground, and immediately adjusted accordingly.

Immediately afterwards, the Saints' defense line was still in the middle line and did not retreat, but the six players in the midfield and frontcourt all retreated to keep the overall formation and position more compact.

Especially Sanchez and Hazard, Bielsa directly asked them not to defend Dante and Boateng, the first priority is to maintain the suppression of Harvey Alonso and Lahm, and cut off Bayern Munich's midfield. passing lanes.

This time, Bayern Munich's offense went out of control again.

The center is restricted again, and the passing lanes are reverted back to the wing.

Even, Southampton seized a chance, Fabregas, after stealing the ball passed to Xavi Alonso, planned a counterattack on the spot, and passed a diagonal pass to Sanchez, who faced Dante, a deft one. A one-to-one breakthrough, throwing off Dante and passing into the penalty area.

Suarez was a little slow to keep up, and barely kicked, the ball failed to touch, it was crooked!

Although he failed to score a goal, this counterattack was extremely dangerous.

"Southampton's offensive power is indeed quite good, and the players' personal abilities are too strong."

"Sanchez faced Dante one-on-one, and it was very easy. The Brazilian central defender had almost nothing to do with him."

"If Suarez hadn't been slow to keep up with this ball, he would definitely be able to score!"

However, Southampton's sharp counterattack made Bayern Munich break out in a cold sweat, but it also made Guardiola have to remind the players on the field again to pass the ball more safely and not rashly.

…………

…………

"If the goal just now had been scored, the game would have been much better!"

Sitting next to Yang Huan, the CEO of the Premier League, Richard Scudemore said with a smile.

Southampton's counterattack just now was quite threatening, and it was only a little short of breaking the goal.

In theory, this was a fairly successful counterattack.

It's just that the players are not in place in terms of execution.

But this is also normal. Players are not robots. How can they guarantee that they are accurate every time?

To be able to guarantee that Southampton can create so many opportunities in every game, wouldn't it be necessary to score a dozen goals at random?

"I want to too, but it's useless!" Yang Huan laughed.

Because of the counterattack just now, Bayern Munich began to increase the possession rate.

There is no way, Guardiola knows very well that his team can only firmly grasp the possession of the ball, because if Bayern Munich loses possession of the ball, it is tantamount to allowing Southampton to slaughter it.

Therefore, he would rather have an ugly scene and be more conservative, and must ensure possession of the ball.

As long as you get possession of the ball, you can minimize the Saints' offensive threat and wait patiently for the opportunity. As long as the Saints show their flaws, Bayern Munich will have a chance.

For any team, in any game, there will be large and small mistakes and flaws, which is inevitable.

So do the saints!

On the contrary, Southampton seems to be a bit uncomfortable with the set of tactics, or the rhythm is a bit chaotic after the opening, which caused the team to be slowed down by Bayern Munich in terms of rhythm, and it feels a bit slow.

You know, a slow pace is good for Bayern Munich's possession, and Southampton is faster.

"Guardiola started off well!" Yang Huan said with a slight smile.

From a tactical point of view, Guardiola and Bielsa can be said to be evenly matched, basically giving full play to their own advantages, and at the same time restraining each other's characteristics, so the scene is very stalemate.

Of course, Guardiola's tactical play is aimed at the current Saints. If it was last season, he probably wouldn't be able to play it.

Last season, the Saints had Modric and James Rodriguez in charge, plus Toni Kroos and Pogba. If you want to play possession, you may not necessarily lose to Bayern Munich.

But now there is no way, Fabregas and Di Maria are not the kind of controlling players.

It is also because of this that Guardiola dared to brush his possession rate in front of the Saints.

And in this game, Guardiola was determined to fight for the midfield from the beginning, so he came up with such a set of three-five-two tactics.

"Tsk, Master Huan, it's not an option to continue this stalemate. Isn't this gradually turning into a war of attrition?" Scudemore said a little depressed.

Southampton has an advantage in terms of strength. If Bayern Munich uses tactics abruptly and drags it into a war of attrition, then Southampton will indeed suffer a lot. It can even be said that it has lost at the tactical level.

Yang Huan also understood this, "Look, Bielsa is probably thinking of recruiting!"

This game has just started, oh, it's only ten minutes, there is still a lot of time, why rush?

If the winner is decided in just a few minutes, is it still the Champions League final?

Do you really think that Bayern Munich is as easy to play as those middle and lower teams?

Yang Huan even estimated that the outcome of this game would be around one goal.

Scudemore saw Yang Huan as an old god, so he couldn't help it. The emperor couldn't help but kill the eunuch in a hurry, right?

After watching it intently for a few minutes, I found that there was still no movement, and the scene was still the same, so Scudemore couldn't sit still.

"Master Huan, Messi should have been invited by you, right?" the CEO of the Premier League asked with a smile.

This is Messi!

The appearance of the Argentine superstar here already represents a signal in itself!

Yang Huan smiled noncommittally, "What do you think?"

Scudemore is depressed, my young master Huan, can you stop being so naughty?

Tell me all about it, and I'm not going to go around talking about it, am I?

It's not a solution to always hide it like this!

"Master Huan, frankly speaking, we are currently negotiating the next broadcast contract with the broadcasters. If Southampton introduces Messi this summer and Tottenham Hotspur can get Cristiano Ronaldo, then ……hey-hey……"

Richard Scudemore couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

The two most powerful superstars in the world gather together in the Premier League. The scene is so beautiful that people can't bear to look directly at it.

"Richard, tell me, if both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo come to the Premier League, how much will it help the negotiation of broadcasting rights?" Yang Huan asked with concern.

Richard Scudemore secretly calculated in his heart, "At least it can boost broadcast fees and various sponsorships by a large margin."

"how many?"

"If the two superstars can maintain the level of La Liga, at least 30%!"

When he said this, Scudemore himself trembled a little.

According to the current Premier League contract, the broadcasting rights for a single season are about 2 billion pounds, but there is still room for further improvement, and if the introduction of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo has caused a huge star effect, it will rise to 100 million pounds. If it's 30%, there is every hope that the broadcast fee will exceed 3 billion pounds that year.

But three billion pounds!

Even if the broadcast fees of the other four major European leagues are added up, it is not enough for the Premier League!

But just when Scudemore was in a good mood, Master Huan clicked his tongue twice, shook his head and sighed.

This immediately made Scudemore go limp.

Could it be that
