Hawke Bruckner, midfielder.

Elza Biltz, right-hander.

"Replace the right forward with a midfielder?" Anyone with a somewhat incomprehensible substitution adjustment can see the meaning behind it.

There is a 442 formation on St. Pauli.

Among the two midfielders, Sulentice is the core of the formation, doing well in offense and defense, and can be regarded as a midfielder. In addition, Bruckner is equivalent to having two midfielders. Even if Bol is considered as a right forward, the formation has become a strange 4222.

If Sulentice is regarded as a front midfielder, Bor is considered a right-hand player, and the formation becomes 4132.

These two formations can only be described, but they are actually completely unformed.

The substitution adjustments made by Bergman are completely unreasonable, and will make Saint Pauli's formation chaotic, and it will make it more understandable to replace Luz with Bruckner.

But Luz didn't end.

This shows one thing: Bergman did not completely give up the offense. What he gave up was frontal advancement. Without the support of normal formation, frontal advancement would encounter the embarrassment of "there is a position but no players", and it would be difficult to threaten.

After the substitution adjustment, St. Pauli's style of play is more inclined to defend, and it cannot be said to be completely defensive. However, Bruckner, Sulentice and Bor, three midfielders are at the forefront of the penalty area, which can greatly strengthen the thickness of the penalty area defense.

Various media have also discussed the substitution-

"Bruckner is a good midfielder. His style is very tough and will greatly enhance his ability to compete at the front of the penalty area."

"After this adjustment, St. Pauli lost the ability to hit the front!"

"Sao Pauli is planning to hold on to the death!"

"Faced with the powerful Bayern, this is also a last resort!"

“…”

As the game continued, the situation on the court also confirmed the judgment. St. Pauli's offenses were obviously less than the first half, and most of their energy was focused on solid defense.

"This is the right decision!"

In the eyes of many, it is correct for St. Pauli to choose to strengthen his defense, and no one will blame Bergman for this because both sides are not at the same level.

If a weak team wants to defeat a strong team, it must be stable in defense.

At this point in the game, it was a miracle that the two sides tied. If St. Pauli wanted to seize the opportunity, he could only strengthen his defense.

Keep it to the death!

Delay time!

It is best to delay for 120 minutes and decide the outcome in a penalty shootout!

This style of play sounds very negative, but the results of countless games in the past have proved that only in this way can you have a chance to defeat a strong team. Most of the teams that have let go of the fight against the strong team lose very pitifully, and it is not surprising that they are abused to a big score.

When he saw St. Pauli was determined to defend, even Bayern Munich, as his opponent, was not surprised at all.

This is normal.

It would be strange if St. Pauli continued to advance head-on with them when they tied.

That's not courage.

The only thing that can be explained is that the opponent's head coach's coaching ability is not qualified.

———

Everyone can understand that in order to strive for victory, St. Pauli gave up his positive advancement and focused on defending his life, but being able to understand does not mean accepting it.

As Bayern's head coach, Magath feels very depressed.

He was watching the game with a headache.

St. Pauli is focused on defense, and all players retreat near the penalty area, so Bayern has to face a major test: breaking intensive defense.

It is not easy for any team to "break intensive defense".

When the opponent chooses to retreat across the line, the number of people near the penalty area will surge. Not to mention running players, even ten fixed pillars standing in front of the goal can block most angles.

How did the game become like this?

The depressed part of Magath is here. Bayern had the opportunity to decide the winner in half, and their performance was also very good. In 45 minutes, they broke the opponent's goal twice.

But the other party performed well.

No.

It should be said that the opponent's No. 13 performed very well, and Kahn was caught by the opponent for the only mistake.

The goal in the later part of the first half shocked many players on the team.

During the halftime break, several players led by Pizarro were constantly experimenting with the "heel swirl ball". "turning the back", "passing the crotch", "dividing the ball", and "heel swirl ball", it was incredible to think about it. Lucio was shaken away and concede the ball, and no one blamed him, because no one suddenly faced such extraordinary people, it was unlikely to react.

Anyway, Bayern conceded two goals.

When the second half began, Bayern had no advantage in scoring a goal and had to face the challenge of breaking intensive defense.

Fortunately, St. Pauli is indeed poor.

From the first minute of the second half, football was completely controlled by Bayern, and their possession rate exceeded 80%. It can be said that football has always been under Bayern's control, and St. Pauli has no strength to fight back.

Most of the players in the St. Pauli team did not cross the center line for twenty minutes.

They have been defending, defending.

During the continuous defense, some St. Pauli players performed well, such as the newly-played Bruckner, who destroyed Bayern's cross twice in a row, but the best performance was the centre-back Gene. The TV commentator introduced Gene, who used the "famous evil guy in St. Pauli". It is conceivable how bad his reputation is.

An evil man has the ability of an evil man.

Gene's defense is very tough and his defensive skills are also quite good. His strong body makes him outstanding in confrontation, and his good height also has certain air defense capabilities.

Pizarro was taken care of by Gene.

Even though Pizarro is of excellent level, it is difficult to play against Sao Paulo, which has intensive defense. He is not the kind of player who can score goals in person. Under Gene's defense, he failed to touch the ball several times in a row.

Gene had no choice but to defend Pizarro.

Even though it is based on the intensive defense of the entire team, Gene's performance is quite outstanding.

Bayern's most active player is another striker, Roy Makai. Makai must be tall, physically, and skillfully. He still performs very actively in the face of intensive defense. In twenty minutes, he created two threatening shots.

One is a header!

One is a volley!

He failed to score in both shots, but St. Pauli was also lucky, especially Makai's volley from the right, which hit goalkeeper Hondalev's arms. As long as he deviated a little, Hondalev could not react.

During Bayern's fierce attack, the camera footage is directed to the St. Pauli halftime, or even the penalty area, but occasionally the camera is also directed to the Bayern halftime.

There is only one St. Pauli player there-

Zhen Shaolong.

After the start of the second half, all St. Pauli players were defending, and only Zhen Shaolong was in front, and there was no intention of participating in the defense at all.

St. Pauli did not attack for a long time, and Zhen Shaolong was still standing in front.

"Why didn't he go back?"

"The game has been played like this, what's the point of standing in front?"

"Sao Pauli should replace him!"

Those fans who know Zhen Shaolong said this, "Zhen is really calm! He has always been like this and never participated in defense!"

"He is waiting for the opportunity!"

"Who said there was no chance? Maybe it would be there in the next minute. He has been standing in front for a long time, but he has never disappointed..."

In the eyes of the media and fans, Zhen Shaolong is like the mascot of St. Pauli. His luck has always been very good. As long as he stands on the court, St. Pauli's overall fortune will not be bad. In addition, even if he does not participate in the defense and has no contribution to defense, he has scored two goals, and no one will contribute more than him.

Bayern players have a different feeling.

Bayern's players on the court may disagree with the media and fans' opinions that the "mascot" is placed with useless things, but even if the opponent's No. 13, even if it doesn't show any performance, just standing in front makes Bayern feel like he is stuck in his throat.

He is the fish bone stuck in his throat!

Sharp fish bones!

If the game started, they would definitely not care about Zhen Shaolong, but the two goals in the first half were not scored by luck. Even if the first goal was Kahn's mistake, can ordinary forwards seize that opportunity?

Not to mention the second goal, it was a totally personal exciting performance!

Such a threatening player must not be allowed to stay ahead. Even if the football is controlled by Bayern players most of the time, they must devote their energy to paying attention to defense, for fear of accidents.

Without Zhen Shaolong, Bayern could attack with all his heart.

With Zhen Shaolong, they must be distracted.

Bayern is very excited to see that Zhen Shaolong and others are also retreating and participating in the defense in the backcourt.

Unfortunately, the other party did not.

Bayern was unable to use all his strength to attack, which seemed to have affected the efficiency of the offensive. After 35 minutes of the second half, they still failed to break through the Sao Paulo goal.

St. Pauli's defense was also difficult.

After repeated scrambling, fouls, conflicts, crises in front of the goal again and again, every time the football is sent into the penalty area, it seems that the goal will be broken in the next moment. After a very difficult half hour, St. Pauli successfully survived.
