Chapter 929： Grab the start

When Carlos Planjot was in the hotel room and couldn't find Guardiola, he went straight to the conference room.

Sure enough, he saw the Spanish through the transparent curtain wall of the conference room.

Sitting behind a long white desk, there is an open Apple laptop in front of you. The illuminated Apple logo is very conspicuous in the dim meeting room, with a charger plugged next to it. This is a long-term Signs of use.

Guardiola in front of him rested his left chin with his left hand and looked at the laptop screen intently.

Needless to say, he must have had insomnia again last night!

When Carlos Planchot turned around, he saw someone walking across from him. Isn't it Domenech Torrent?

This guy was holding a tray with three cups of steaming, aromatic coffee on it.

"I know you can't sleep too!" Domenech Torrent smiled triumphantly.

After the two knocked on the door, they walked into the meeting room and disturbed Guardiola in front of the notebook.

The Spaniard yawned, stretched out his hand to rub his brows, closed his eyes, and faintly could see eye oil leaking out of the corners of his eyes. All of this was a symptom of staying up late.

"Can't sleep again last night?"

Domenek Torrent put the coffee tray on the desk, took a cup and put it in front of Guardiola, and he greeted Carlos Planchot to take a cup.

He seemed to have guessed that Planchot would get up at this time, and he even prepared coffee in advance.

Guardiola did not open his eyes, nodded, and exhaled softly, "How can I sleep?"

Yes, today is the Champions League final. How many people can sleep?

"Actually, you really don't need to put such a lot of pressure on yourself. Southampton's overall strength is better than ours and it has a better chance of winning. Therefore, no matter what the outcome of this game is, we..."

Guardiola did not let Torrent continue to speak, but opened his eyes and said lightly, "This is our job, isn't it?"

Work is very common, a very common vocabulary.

It's like everything beside Guardiola, it's very simple, even too simple.

He only has a laptop, which can be connected to the Internet. Through it, you can see all the game videos that Guardiola wants to watch.

Later, Lars Kunetka's technical analysis team will send another technical analysis report, which should be at least forty or fifty pages thick, which is full of all Southampton analysis and forecasts.

Then, all of them must carefully read these reports, watch the videos, find out the loopholes in Southampton as much as possible, and then collect them and prepare them for use anytime, anywhere.

Even, it is possible that they exhausted countless manpower and material resources to unearth things, but found nothing useful in the game.

But no way, even if so, they still have to continue such a boring job.

Yes, this is their job.

"You know, my job is to study the game and then destroy the opponent!"

Guardiola looked at his assistant with a faint smile, "The stronger the opponent is, the more important my job is, because when the strength is at a disadvantage, if the tactics can no longer restrain the opponent, then we simply There is no chance of winning."

Planchot and Torrent looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

This guy is a workaholic. He often says that his best way to relax is to work.

Then, he can stay alone in this cold office and watch several hours of game videos.

He and Bielsa of Southampton probably have a good fight.

"How? What's the gain from staying up late?" Torrent asked with a faint smile.

Guardiola sighed again and shook his head, "No!"

This made the two people on the opposite side almost spit the coffee in their mouths, staying up all night for so long, but getting nothing?

"Our research on Southampton is not only now. The information that should be collected has already been collected, and it is difficult to find anything."

Planchot was depressed, "Then you still stay up late to watch videos? Even if you are watching American TV shows or watching movies, you can relax."

"Watching the video is the best relaxation for me, Carlos!" Guardiola chuckled.

"Also, I just don't want to miss even the smallest details."

The two assistants looked at Guardiola speechlessly, they were used to the waywardness and stubbornness of the Spaniard.

Even his childhood sweetheart wife can't change him.

In fact, Bayern Munich’s team has been collecting intelligence on major European teams, and even has a file for each match, so that it can be easily collected during the match.

Southampton, as a team that Guardiola attaches great importance to, is naturally the focus of intelligence collection.

It can be said that up to now, Bayern Munich has done very detailed information collection on Southampton.

The information that should be obtained has also been obtained.

It can even be said that there is basically nothing to hide between the two teams now, and there is no such thing as a surprise.

Let me ask, in such an important game, who would take the risk of using some kind of surprise?

It is estimated that your auspicious soldier did not work, and he was tossed to death.

Of course, if the preparations are started early, it is another matter.

But if you have been prepared, it will be difficult to hide your opponent.

"In fact, now, for us, the most important thing is how to restrain Southampton's offensive." Planchot analyzed.

To say that everything else is false, how to restrain the opponent is the truth.

Torrent thought for a while, "According to my preliminary estimate, if we want to restraint, we have to put at least five players on the back line and three more midfielders, so the offense won't have to be played at all!"

Southampton's offense is so sharp!

Hazard, Suarez and Sanchez are all types that can't be prevented at all.

What's even more frightening is that the three players put together, and the offensive power they exert is amazing. They cooperate with each other and are skillful.

Also, there is a passer Fabregas in the midfielder, and an assaulter Di Maria, plus an outstanding long passer Tony Cross, Nimei, Southampton is really against the sky!

Speaking of the last, Torrent also glanced at Guardiola secretly and added, "Also, even if we focus on defense, I am afraid we may not be able to defend Southampton's offense."

This is a bit shocking.

Guardiola's expression was also a little uncomfortable, but he knew that Torrent was telling the truth.

In his own football creed, he has never stuck to two words. What he pursues and what he trains is to better control the game and firmly grasp the initiative of the game.

Therefore, in the team that Guardiola has coached, it is not reliable to stick to it.

"Southampton's three front, center and back lines are very tightly integrated. The three players in the frontcourt all have a strong ability to hold the ball. They can retreat by themselves and can connect the center and frontcourt."

Planchot's expression looked a little weak.

"In addition to the trident in the frontcourt, their midfielders also have a strong ability to push the ball. Di Maria, Pogba, and Kovacic are all good players in this way. Therefore, the regular targeted defense It’s hard to work for the saints."

If it is said that when encountering this kind of offensive combination that is difficult to limit, the more practical approach is usually to cut off the pass line as much as possible, but this set is obviously useless for Southampton.

The Saints are not afraid of you to suppress their midfielders!

"What's the matter, how did Bielsa create such a freak team?" Torrent scolded angrily.

But in his scolding, he was full of envy and hatred.

Who doesn't want to have such a team that makes opponents grit their teeth with hatred, but has no alternative?

The competitiveness of a football team on the pitch is based on the overall strength of the team. It is the key to determining how far the team can reach. The tactics of the head coach can at best determine how much strength the team can exert.

Therefore, Southampton can have today, in the final analysis, it is inseparable from the operation of Yang Huan and the management.

While Guardiola was depressed, his heart was full of expectations.

He is looking forward to how much he can achieve in Southampton, with the strength and resources like Bielsa, and whether he can play the perfect football in his mind.

Bayern Munich’s lineup, strictly speaking, does not conform to Guardiola’s ideas, otherwise, he would not arrange for Ram to play midfield.

Even though Bayern Munich can also play ball-handling tactics, it is not detailed enough and the midfield lacks creativity.

Can control the ball, but can not create opportunities, this is indeed a very depressing thing.

Coupled with the fact that Ribery and Robben on the left and right sides are both old and old, Bayern Munich has entered the stage of metabolism, and its strength has fallen a lot from the previous year.

In this case, Bayern Munich was at a disadvantage from the very beginning when it hit Southampton.

"Bielsa is a master of tactics. There is also a professional team next to him to help him. In such a game, he will not take risks and will try to avoid making mistakes. Therefore, at least at the tactical level, if we follow the original thinking Go, there is no chance of winning!"

Guardiola glanced at his two powerful assistants and reminded him.

Planchot and Torrent looked at each other, and they all realized what Guardiola meant.

Since the conventional thinking doesn't work, it can only be a chance.

"We still play three guards and grab the start!"

The two assistant coaches had no opinion.

Now for Bayern Munich, it takes a fight to get a chance. If you don't fight, you just sit and wait for death.

The key question is...

"How long are we going to grab?" Planchot asked concerned, "After grabbing, how do we play next?"

Don't underestimate these two points. If you don't handle it well, Bayern Munich will die miserably.

Guardiola is also frowning. "This can't be said for the time being. It is estimated that it should be reached in ten to twenty minutes. The specifics depend on the performance of the enemy and us on the field. After that, I will switch back and play four guards, Bernard. Go back to the left and be steady."

The two assistant coaches also felt that there was nothing wrongGuardiola’s idea was right. He started the game and disrupted Southampton’s rhythm from the very beginning, and brought the game into his own rhythm. Score a goal and take the lead, that would be great.

Even if it doesn't work, it's very reliable to frustrate Southampton's spirit, no matter how stable it is.

Southampton is very strong, which is true, but Bayern Munich is not weak.

That is to say, if you meet the Saints, if you switch to any other team in Europe, Bayern Munich will not be left behind.

If it is purely calculated based on the current strength gap between the two sides, the gap between each other is probably one ball.

Therefore, as long as the rhythm of the Saints is chaotic, Bayern Munich has a chance.

Of course, the risk of the attack is not small, that is, if the attack tactics did not work, but the Saint seized the opportunity to fight back, then Bayern Munich would have lost the game early.

But now, what can be done?
