Chapter 692

After the elimination match of the German Cup, the Bundesliga League soon rekindled the war.

In the 18th round of Bundesliga, Bayern Munich beat Hamburg 1-0 with Aguero's goal.

It was also at the end of the game that Gao Han received news from the Premier League on his way from Hamburg To Munich. Ferguson's Manchester United successfully signed left back Leighton Bynes from Everton at the last moment of the winter break.

The exact amount of the transfer has not yet been announced, but it is said that Manchester United paid a big price.

Leighton Byrnes's joining allows Ferguson to finally fill in the weakness of the left side of the back line, and also greatly increases the strength of the Red Devils.

When Gao Han received the news, his face showed an unpredictable smile.

A week later, the 19th round of the Bundesliga.

Back at the Allianz stadium, after a week's rest, coupled with the recovery of bidal and Klose, Bayern Munich welcomed krop's Dortmund with the most complete team, and beat Dortmund 3-1 with Klose's second goal and bildal's goal.

Klopp in the post match press conference, not without regret, said that he has done his best, but the cold Bayern Munich, regardless of tactics or strength, are better and better.

"Although I'm not willing to admit it, I have to say that in a short period of time, it's difficult for any team in the Bundesliga to stop Bayern Munich."

After this match, the national team's match day in February is coming again.

Because it is arranged in the middle of the week, so the weekend's League will continue to be held as scheduled, but for Bayern Munich, which has a large number of international players, it is still affected somewhat.

In the next two rounds of Bundesliga, Bayern Munich won 2-1, away against Hertha Berlin and at home against Cologne.

After the 21 th round of the Bundesliga, the day to London is coming.

Since the 3-0 loss to Manchester United, Rijkaard's life has become increasingly difficult.

First, the outside media hyped the news that the cold will take charge of Manchester City, which caused the panic of the whole British football world. Then, the management put pressure on the coaching staff, asking the team to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, at least to enter the top four.

The question is, is it that easy?

After losing to Manchester United, Rijkaard's team won two home games, but soon lost to Rafael Benitez's Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield.

It can be said that after the end of this game, it is almost difficult for Chelsea to attack the league title again.

Without a surprise, the Premier League title this season will be a competition between Manchester United and Liverpool.

After entering February, the situation of the blues was slightly better. They drew at home against Hull City and beat Aston Villa by one goal away, which slightly eased the pressure of the external media and management on Rijkaard.

But now, the big test is coming.

How to deal with this big test is also on the table of the Chelsea coaching staff.

"Bayern Munich is nothing more than two ways of thinking

In the coach's office of Cobham training base of Chelsea, chief assistant coach Teng Carter is making his own suggestions on the knockout, "one is like Barcelona of Guardiola, playing pass control, but to be honest, we don't have any advantages in this respect, let alone Barcelona, even Bayern Munich."

Today's Chelsea is no longer that of the cold season.

At that time, the blues were famous for their mercurial passing and controlling. The midfield gathered outstanding passing and controlling players such as Deco, Veron and Ronaldinho to play a frightening passing and controlling football.

But now, the blue army is gathering players such as Mikel, Ballack, Lampard and Essien. They can't expect to play in front of Bayern Munich.

"The other is to catch the defense and wait for the counterattack like other teams

In addition to Barcelona and a very small number of teams, the vast majority of teams encountered cold, are using the latter method of play, but there are differences.

For example, some teams will try to take the lead in attacking, disrupt the opponent's position, and then defend and counterattack, while others will concentrate on defending, stabilize the position, and then counterattack, or

In short, the same set of ideas, but play is multifarious.

Rijkaard knows in his heart that if he is still in charge of Barcelona, he may be able to compete with Gao Han in passing and controlling. But when he comes to Chelsea, he has no choice at all.

But now the question is, even if Chelsea are willing to defend, can they defend?

Everyone in the coach's room understands Rijkaard's worries at this moment. It can even be said that all teams in the world will have such worries when they encounter Bayern Munich.

"But there's a problem." Tengkat looked at Rijkaard very seriously.

"Tell me."

"The midfield has to hold down the opposition."

Ever since Makelele left the team, the problem of midfield has been the death knot for Chelsea.

From the point of view of Mikel's single back, he is competent to deal with other teams, but once he meets a strong team, it is difficult for him to play, on the contrary, he is easily suppressed by his opponents.

3-0 to Manchester United, 2-0 to Liverpool.

In the past few strong conversations, opponents have been playing at the back of Mikel's list. Gao Han is sure to do the same this time. It will be a big challenge for Chelsea.

"Then on Mikel, Ballack, Essien and Lampard, their experience is very rich, the defense also has the thickness, more importantly, Ballack is very familiar with Bayern Munich Rijkaard analyzed.

People also think that this is a good way.

"However, from many games this season, playing 442 diamond midfield, our midfield defense is really good, but the offensive effect is not good, especially the coexistence between Ballack and Lampard Said tenkat anxiously.

Fans all over the world know that in the England national team, there is a so-called problem of coexistence of two German players, that is, the compatibility between Lampard and Gerrard. These two players are the humerus generals of Chelsea and Liverpool, but it is difficult to coexist in the national team.

In the same way, since Ballack came to Chelsea, there are also compatibility problems between him and Lampard.

Rijkaard certainly knows his team's problems, but he is more concerned about whether he can resist Bayern Munich's attack?

It's not a bad thing to use four midfielders to suppress Bayern Munich's three midfielders at the expense of the team's attack.

At least make sure you don't lose, right?

"Chelsea are suffering from the problem of hoarding too many superstars

In the sebena training base in Munich, alpine is conducting a pre match tactical analysis meeting of the coaching team.

"Shevchenko in the past, Anelka and Drogba in the present, and Lampard and Ballack in the present are all the results of their blindly piling up superstars but failing to effectively play the effect of player combination. Therefore, in this game, Rijkaard will definitely hurt his mind for the starting line-up. He can't have both attack and defence. I'm sure he will defend."

From all kinds of news coming out of the media before the match, the pressure of the Chelsea coaching staff is great.

In January, two major plays were completely defeated by Manchester United and Liverpool. Abramovich's patience with the coaching staff has been almost exhausted. Even the media began to use the word "must kill order". It can be seen that Rijkaard has appeared a serious crisis of trust.

"Although I don't like Jose and I don't like his football, we have to admit that one of the best things he has done at Chelsea is to keep the team's defense tight, which has been extended to the period of Rijkaard, especially Lampard, Essien and other players."

"So, once Chelsea want to defend and are willing to put in a lot of strength in defence, it will be a big test for us

The name of Chelsea in the period of Jose is not empty.

"But there's something wrong with Chelsea

After that, Gao Han remotely controlled the projector, switched to the next PPT, and clearly listed some data of Chelsea.

"Before Christmas, that is, in the first 19 rounds, Chelsea can occupy the top of the Premier League for a long time because of their strong defense. However, from the 20th round to now, there have been problems in their defense. Whether in the FA Cup or in the Premier League, the number of goals lost is obviously much higher than that in the first 19 rounds."

Judging from the ups and downs of the number of goals lost, there is no doubt that the late January is the peak period of goals lost. It is during this period that Manchester United lose 3-0 and Liverpool lose 2-0.

"We all know the Premier League. Lorenzo had a headache for the Premier League's winter break schedule for several months. We even had to prepare for the Christmas devil schedule in October ahead of time. Ferguson is also very experienced in this aspect. So, you see, Manchester United often start to work after the winter break, while Chelsea are weak during the winter break."

Gao Han raised his right hand, pressed the remote control again, and switched to the next picture, which is the statistics and analysis of all the goals lost by Chelsea from the 20th round up to now.

"Let's see, the defensive header is the biggest loser in the game. The players' physical energy consumption is too high. The game is very intensive and the pressure increases. It's easy to be dazed and distracted in the game. All these are understandable. So you can see that the header is the most serious one among the many goals lost by Chelsea

All of them are experienced professional coaches. They all know how to make use of it.

The first thing to bear the brunt is definitely the tactical coordination of set pieces.

But soon, the coaching staff had doubts.

"Since you want to focus on attacking the header, why do you arrange Klose to start when you play Cologne away and let him play the whole game?" Thomas toohel asked strangely.

The Bundesliga is on Saturday and the Champions League is on Wednesday. Although Klose is still able to start, according to Gao's rotation, if Klose plays the whole match, Aguero should start on Wednesday.

But people who focus on Bayern Munich know that Aguero is better at sports.

Gao Han smiles at tuhl and nods: "you're right, Thomas, cloze's header is more threatening, but you should know that we are studying opponents, and opponents are also studying us. What we know, will Rijkaard not know?"

"The reason why the knockout of the Champions League is so charming and interesting is that it is not only a contest on the tactical level, but also a contest on the psychological level between the enemy and us. We have to fight not only the tactics but also the psychology."

In the Champions League knockout, especially in the competition between Bayern Munich and top teams like Chelsea, although there is a gap in strength, it is not as big as imagined. No one can easily crush who. Every decision of the head coach has good and bad.

It's like on Klose, everyone knows you want to head the ball attack, so the opponent won't pay attention to defense?

What's more, Klose's ability to attack the ground ball and fight alone is not as sharp as Aguero.

There is a gain, there is a loss, this has to choose.

"Sometimes, we retract our fists to fight more forcefully." Gao Han said with a smile.

Thomas toohel is a smart man, a little transparent, looking at the cold eyes full of admiration.
