Before the German Cup between Wolfsburg and Bayern started, the media had a lot of speculation about this match. In addition to the speculation that Wolfsburg will give up the cup for the sake of other matches, the most popular one is this match. If both sides go all out, what will the match look like. In this regard, almost all people think of the same result.
This game, from the beginning will be Bayern possession, and Wolfsburg defend, this is almost everyone's common view. This view will not be questioned by anyone, because it is most in line with the characteristics of both sides.
Wolfsburg aside, this judgment, for Bayern, anyone believes that they will not make any mistakes. As Guardiola's team, Bayern are playing the football of control flow throughout the season, and the control of football is also the foundation of Guardiola's team. They will certainly play like this in this game. This is also the consensus of people, and people also believe it.
However, at the beginning of the game, Bayern told everyone with their own performance that this was obviously not the way they played in this game.
At the beginning of the game, Bayern did not play too unexpectedly. However, on the pitch, when the football got to the foot of Rahm on the right side, things began to change. Rahm took the ball and ran quickly to the front court. His running is not a complete straight up and down attack, but a little closer to the middle. With his running, Bayern's two backs are also moving. And just after the midfield, with the running, Bayern's midfield players also pressed on as a whole, and began to cross the midfield and attack the opposite side.
In fact, we already know that up to now, Bayern's attack is still nothing wrong. However, at this time, the choice of Rahm made Bayern's style change. When he got to the middle, he didn't choose to pass the ball with his teammates. Instead, he put the ball at the foot of Robben on the side. On the side, Robben received the ball and immediately changed the direction of the ball. He avoided the possibility of Turan's pursuit and made a sudden attack towards the back court!
His speed is very fast, and in the process of dribbling, he doesn't mean to cooperate with his teammates. On the flank, he took the ball to make a quick surprise attack, like a steel knife, straight into the restricted area of Wolfsburg. This approach, so that Wolfsburg players are one Leng, who did not expect that Bayern would use this method to launch their own offensive.
This attack, peacetime's Bayern some are too different. It's a long pass, and it's very difficult. Different from Guardiola's request for stability when he was coaching, this pass was quite risky. If it is Bayern last season, so playing, Wolfsburg is no surprise. After all, at that time, they were also known for playing on the side. But this season's Bayern has also played like this, which is really unimaginable. What's wrong with this team so that they don't attack according to Guardiola's tactics?
Who doesn't know, Guardiola's tactics are control? Why did Bayern suddenly play fast attack instead of control flow?
Such an unexpected attack, so that Wolfsburg did not expect. What is more troubling is that they have violated Guardiola's tactical habits, but on the pitch, their strength is not bad at all. Bayern's players are very good, whether it's ram's pass or Robben's acceleration after receiving the ball, they all finished very well. After this pass, Bayern's fast attack immediately became a beautiful attack. On the right side of the penalty area, Robben took the ball and quickly pressed up.
His breakthrough with the ball is not tactical, but for Robben, sometimes he doesn't need any tactics. As one of the best dribblers in the world, dribble, personal breakthrough, in his here, sometimes can form a very good attack.
This sudden attack made Rodriguez have a big head, even at a loss. Although he has always considered himself one of the best left backs in the Bundesliga, he is still a bit numb to face Robben's attack alone. However, Robben doesn't care what he thinks. Robben takes the ball and rushes up the sideline quickly. In front of Rodriguez, he smashes the ball to the left. When Rodriguez leans to the left, he easily pulls to the right, changes direction two times in a row, passes Rodriguez and leaves him behind.
In terms of excellent technique, Robben is still so excellent, and after this throw away Rodriguez, he didn't have any hesitation. He crossed the ball and sent it into the penalty area.
Bayern's attack, far from the exchanges so delicate. From the beginning, they used the most ferocious way of attack. Robben's one foot pass sent the ball to the restricted area. In the restricted area, facing the falling football, Gomez immediately shot and kicked the ball out.
Benalio tried to jump up and use his body to keep the ball out of the goal. And just after he blocked the ball, in the penalty area, Mueller has also quietly close up. In the penalty area, he also seized the opportunity, a foot shot, once again kicked the ball to the gate!Benalio even if the ability is big, it is impossible to block the shot again, less than 15 minutes after the start of the game, Bayern's Mueller, with a supplementary shot, for Bayern took the lead to break the goal!
On the pitch, Bayern's players all cheered. On the court, they were celebrating crazily, excited for their beautiful start of the game. On the sidelines, Gao shunyao watched the game and patted his thigh. He didn't expect that Wolfsburg's defeat would come so fast!
However, it really can't blame his teammates - who could have thought that Guardiola played a new tactical concept in this game?
Sitting on the sidelines, Gao shunyao began to admire the coach opposite him. Guardiola's decision is really unexpected. He also did not expect that the other side would change moves in this game, and it was this change that made the opponent eat his team to death.
Guardiola's team has always used the ball to kill their opponents. It seems to be a universal truth, which does not need to be proved. In the past few years, Guardiola led Barcelona to get excellent results in Barcelona, and then led Bayern to continue his attempt of ball control tactics, which is also something everyone sees in the eye. However, who can think, he is such a keen on controlling the ball coach, in such a key game, even gave up controlling the ball, let his team play a fast side attack!
Who would have thought Bayern would no longer hold the ball? But Guardiola did. Standing on the edge of the court, he clapped his hands at the players in the field with a proud smile. Only he knew the reason why he did it. Only he knew that his choice had something to do with the recent game.
In the view of the media, Bayern Munich have been enjoying a good time recently. Just before the start of this game, they dare to confirm their identity as the champions of the league and are extremely satisfied. But for Guardiola, what he saw was a completely different situation.
Compared with the league title, which he has long been determined to win, the recent match with Paris is what he really cares about. Those two games were dragged into extra time by opponents, and the champions of the League were more able to touch him. As the world's top coach, Guardiola has always been very concerned about his team's problems, and have to say that in those two games, he has seen the problems of the team.
Bayern's control is not as good as he imagined, this team in the face of a strong opponent, control may not be the best idea.
Obviously, the past Champions League games, for him, is not completely out. In the game was tied by Paris, the result was almost eliminated by such a team in Paris, for Guardiola, it is absolutely a very serious blow. However, it is precisely because of this blow that he really realized that Bayern are not the former Barcelona after all. It is really very difficult to expect them to win the game by control. In order to win, maybe he must consider other ways.
For example, fast attack on the side is a way of thinking - this way in Barcelona he will not try, but Bayern, that is another thing.
Guardiola is not a rigid person. Sometimes, he can't accept some means to win or lose, especially in the semi-final.
Before the game, Wolfsburg never thought of this scene. They are also aiming at a team like to control the ball Bayern to make tactical arrangements, completely did not expect that the other side would give up the ball control, and played a side attack. Guardiola was able to make such a change, it is in everyone's surprise, and he therefore successfully let Wolfsburg suffer.
This kind of thing is just as unimaginable as the fact that mussinio advocates comprehensive attack and magate opposes physical training. However, Guardiola did just that in this game, and it seems that his team has benefited a lot from it. The score of 1-0 is the best proof that Guardiola's team has taken the lead in this game.
In short, Bayern now has a rare lead. And in the game, as long as their leading edge is maintained, after this game, Bayern can take a big step towards the treble.
Just don't know, Wolfsburg will give them such a chance to move forward?
