Chapter 196: The heart of playing tactics is so dirty!

"Ribery played this goal very beautifully. Joe Hart's reaction was already very fast, but he still couldn't prevent the goal!"

"Francis Ribery's performance has been getting better and better in the past few seasons. With him and Robben here, Bayern's offense on the wing is simply unstoppable, and no one can use it!"

"Yes, there are rumors that Ribery may win the Ballon d'Or this year. Judging from his performance in this game, he deserves this award."

On the sidelines, Guardiola saw Ribery completing the goal so quickly and celebrated with excitement, waving his fists.

This goal was so crucial. After taking the lead, Manchester City couldn't counterattack.

Once they change their tactics, Bayern's advantage will become bigger and bigger.

Sure enough, Manchester City quickly changed their tactics after falling behind.

They increased their pressing in the frontcourt, and the range of players' activities also began to expand.

This is really a good idea for Bayern.

In the 15th minute, it was Ribery again.

This time he received a pass from Kroos, cut inside to open up a little space, and shot directly, seemingly trying to replicate the previous goal.

But this time, the ball was caught by Joe Hart.

Although Joe Hart is sometimes unlucky, he will be scored by some weird shots.

But he is still very strong, otherwise he would not be the main goalkeeper of Manchester City.

He will not fall twice on the same stone!

During this period, Bayern was particularly ferocious.

Franck Ribery, Robben, Kroos, Muller and even defender Alaba came up and took two shots.

From the 7th minute until the 32nd minute, Alaba's shot from a small angle in the left penalty area was saved by Joe Hart.

In 25 minutes, Bayern set off a wave of offensive climax. During this period, they fired 7 crazy shots and hit the goal frame 3 times.

There is a feeling of losing the ball.

Fortunately, Joe Hart performed well during this period, blocking high and trying to keep the goal.

Although Manchester City looked very passive, they were not allowed to expand the score by their opponents.

However, it would be very disadvantageous for Manchester City to continue to be beaten passively like this. They need to find a way to solve the current difficulties.

Off the court, Pellegrini frowned and thought about how to crack Bayern's tactics.

Guardiola's playing style at Bayern is completely different from his playing style at Barcelona. Bayern does not have players like Messi.

So he gave up the option of attacking from the center and instead took full advantage of Bayern's advantage on the wing.

Ribery and Robben's breakthroughs, cuts and shots put great pressure on Manchester City's two wings. Not only were the full-backs unable to assist, they even had to let the full-backs drop back to help defend together.

As a result, Manchester City is seriously short of numbers in the frontcourt, and not only cannot they execute offensive tactics.

It also caused Lin Quan and Aguero to fall into an isolated and helpless situation, and they were easily double-teamed by their opponents.

Lin Quan is a little better. His ability to protect the ball is very strong, and his opponent cannot easily steal the ball.

But the same cannot be said for Aguero. His position is further forward and there are fewer supports around him. Once the ball is passed to him, it is almost given to the opponent.

The two most threatening offensive players were frozen by the opponent, and Manchester City's offense was naturally unable to develop.

Pellegrini glanced at the coaching bench on the other side. Guardiola's wings were flying together, making him feel tremendous pressure.

If this trick is not cracked, then Manchester City's game will be very unlucky!

Thinking of this, and taking advantage of the dead ball, Pellegrini waved and called Lin Quan over.

"Lin, the team's tactics need to change!"

Lin Quan nodded and waited for the other party's next words.

"Did you see Bayern's left-back?"

Pellegrini pointed at Alaba who was moving near the midline and said to Lin Quan:

"In the past thirty minutes, Bayern launched six attacks from the left. He was not absent once, and all of them assisted. We need to suppress the assists of their full-backs and cut off their connection with the wingers. Otherwise, we will not be able to contain our opponents.

attack!"

Lin Quan nodded, he understood what Pellegrini meant.

"I know what to do!"

Back on the court, Lin Quan conveyed the coach's tactical arrangements.

The players nodded one after another. At this time, they could only choose to believe in the head coach's adjustment.

Guardiola saw the adjustments made by the Manchester City coach. He was curious about how the other side would adjust.

Bayern's tactics are not impeccable. The two-wings flying tactic is indeed powerful, but if they encounter an opponent who also has two wings flying together, especially a winger with extremely explosive speed, they are likely to misfire, or even be suppressed by the opponent in turn.

.

However, Manchester City is not such a team.

So, what will Pellegrini do?

The answer was soon revealed. Lin Quan and Navas completed the position swap, and he came to the wing.

"this……"

On the Bayern coaching bench, Grande's eyes widened.

"This seems to be Werder Bremen's tactics last season!"

When Lin Quan was at Werder Bremen, he played as a right winger most of the time.

After coming to Manchester City, his freedom in the frontcourt has been greatly improved. He is no longer limited to one position, and Manchester City has someone on the right, so Lin Quan does not often play this position.

But today, looking at the way he sprinted along the wing after dribbling the ball, it was obvious that he would not leave here easily.

Seeing Lin Quan dribbling the ball on the right, Ribery, who had a strong awareness of returning to defense, immediately rushed over and tried to intercept him.

The two fought against each other many times on the wing last season, and neither could guard the other.

The result this time was no exception. Ribery was knocked unconscious by Lin Quan in a few moments.

He is good at passing others, but he is not good at preventing others from passing others.

Bayern are very wary of Lin Quan's offense. Guardiola has emphasized many times that he is the most threatening player in the Manchester City team, so he requires the players to increase their defense against him.

Lin Quan had just passed Ribery, and Kroos immediately came over to kill him.

Moreover, he did not try to steal the ball from Lin Quan's feet, but directly committed a foul and knocked Lin Quan to the ground.

Alaba is still far away from Lin Quan. By the time he catches up, Lin Quan's speed must have increased, and Alaba may not be able to defend him by then.

Once Alaba is passed, Lin Quan will have the opportunity to cut in and shoot.

Therefore, when you are not sure to steal the ball from his feet, fouling is the best option.

Since Bayern players fouled Lin Quan many times in this game, the referee had only given him a verbal warning before, but this time he could not be merciful.

For Cross's foul, the referee chose to show a yellow card as a warning.

Cross didn't protest or anything. He knew that this was a yellow card accumulated from many previous fouls. If he didn't take it, his teammates would also take it.

Moreover, he is not the main defensive force. If he takes this card, it will have the least impact on the team.

On the sidelines, Guardiola felt a little confused.

From a coach's perspective, he should applaud Cross's decisive interception.

But from a father's perspective, when he saw Lin Quan being kicked down, he felt a strong pinch in his heart, fearing that he would be kicked down.

Fortunately, Lin Quan patted the grass clippings on his body and quickly got up from the ground. It didn't seem to be anything serious.

Because Bayern's players did not protest against the yellow card, nor did they block the referee. Instead, they chose to retreat and defend in a very disciplined manner.

This left Manchester City with no chance to take a quick free kick.

Lin Quan signaled for his teammates to grab points in the penalty area. He planned to use this free kick to see if he could threaten Bayern's goal.

The ball flew into the penalty area, and the first landing point was controlled by Bayern and failed to pose a threat.

However, the ball that was pushed out by Bayern players quickly fell into the hands of Manchester City. After Manchester City defender Clichy got the ball, he directly shot a long shot.

Neuer's reaction was very concentrated and he hit the ball with his fist.

Yaya Toure controlled the landing point and fired a volley without stopping the ball. The ball hit the defender's leg and bounced out again.

Because most of Bayern's players are in the penalty area, there are not many players on the outside.

This resulted in the ball still being at Manchester City's feet.

Navas grabbed the ball. Facing the Bayern players who rushed towards him, he did not dare to take more and quickly passed the ball to Aguero.
