Chapter 129 Fall short(1/2)
Although Magath repeatedly emphasized before the game that he should not underestimate the enemy, when the game began, the actual performance of the players could still be seen - they underestimated the enemy.
It’s not the players that any giant team of Bayern Munich of the level will habitually underestimate the opponent when facing Villarreal.
Don't Manchester United underestimate the opponent? Otherwise, no matter how bad they are, they will not be able to even get a goal against Villarreal, right?
Moreover, the emotion of underestimating enemies is very wonderful. It is like catching a cold. It is an incurable disease, a terminal illness, and it will continue to evolve with the development of human beings.
No matter how much data there is to indicate the disadvantages of underestimating the enemy, there will be a situation where underestimating the enemy.
Therefore, the actual effect of Magath's reminder is very poor.
Players are human beings, and they have seven emotions and six desires. They all have their own ideas and will not be easily influenced by others.
For example, the head coach will tell everyone that their opponents are very powerful, and Manchester United has fallen into their troubles.
But the players will think to their hearts: "That's just because Manchester United's performance is poor. With our strength, as long as we perform normally, how can we not win such a team?"
Once they have such an idea, it often means that they have begun to underestimate the enemy.
But the players themselves won't notice this.
The other one is self-confidence.
Any professional player will have confidence, and these confidences are one of the reasons for their continuous progress and growth. It is impossible for a person without confidence to achieve anything too high in professional football.
But everything has two sides. Confidence is sometimes not a good thing, because it may lead to conceit...
Because of confidence, I feel that playing a team like Villarreal is not difficult, so I underestimated the opponent.
Underestimating the enemy will cause players to enter the game slower than their opponents.
In the game where the situation on the court is changing rapidly, getting into the state in a few minutes late may be fatal
This is why no one wants their team to be "slowly hot".
In the competition, "slow heat" is definitely not a good word.
In this game, you can see it clearly.
When the game started, Villarreal, who was playing away, ran desperately and pressed actively, while Bayern Munich players who were slow to enter the state seemed very uncomfortable with the pressure from Villarreal players, and they were a little busy.
There were several passes and stops in a row.
Finally, Villarreal's pressing was effective in the game.
In the 29th minute of the first half, they used the frontcourt press, Senna snatched the football and handed it over to midfield commander Riquelme. Riquelme quickly sent out a straight pass. Forward Fran was quick to run, inserted into the gap, and seized the right time to pass.
When he received the ball in the penalty area, there was no Bayern Munich defender beside him.
Do you think Bayern Munich will concede the goal next?
What are you thinking?
Bayern Munich still has glory
Just when the initiative of the game gradually tilted to Villarreal, everyone - the fans in the stands, the audience in front of the TV, the commentators and the reporters in the media table, thought Bayern Munich might have lost the ball.
"It's only a matter of time before Bayern Munich conceded the ball," the Spanish commentator said confidently.
Even Marcel Leif is criticizing Bayern Munich for underestimating his opponent: "It's slow to warm up in the Champions League quarter-finals, that's simply asking for death."
But at this moment, Barack suddenly made a straight pass in the midfield, with a straight pass of more than 30 meters in length
The football went straight from the air to Villarreal's back line and landed on their side.
Just as everyone turned their eyes, they saw only a red figure, and he inserted it at high speed. It was not until he slowed down and was about to catch the ball that everyone could see clearly...
"It's Rong"
Bayern Munich fans in the stands of "Rong" also regained their vitality. They jumped out of their seats, then waved their fists hard, and shouted the name of Glory.
After Rong Guang slowed down, he raised his right foot and moved the football flying in the air forward, stopping and waving, and he waded several meters away.
Next, he speeded up again and caught up with football.
Such a stop is not as good as a stop that sticks the ball firmly under his feet. But in fact, it is the best suit for Rong Guang's current situation, because such a stop can minimize his speed loss
Sure enough, he rushed into Villarreal's penalty area at a glance
“HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON——”
Marcel Lef chanted in a long voice.
His long voice didn't stop until Glory shot the football into Villarreal's goal. He quickly changed his breath and shouted again: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
At this moment, he acted as passionate as a Spanish and South American narrator.
In the stands, Bayern Munich fans also jumped up and shouted glorious names.
They were so excited because just when everyone thought the team was going to concede the ball and fell behind, Rong Guang's goal put everyone's heart back to where they should have been.
They like this sense of security very much.
With honor, there is a sense of security
※※※
After Glory scored, Bayern Munich players flocked to him, and they all had to thank Glory. Because Glory's goal saved them.
In fact, after the game started, they all discovered that they were underestimating the enemy and wanted to adjust. However, under the pressure of their opponents, even if they adjusted, it became very difficult for them to adjust. Moreover, the more they pressed, the more impatient they were, the more impatient they were, the more difficult they were to adjust.
They themselves felt that the situation was critical.
Maybe it won't take long before they will concede the ball.
And at this moment, Rongguang stood up and scored a crucial goal for them.
As soon as the ball was scored, the teammates who were still very anxious immediately calmed down, and all the accumulated pressure was released.
Their mentality has been adjusted, and the competition status has naturally been adjusted.
The goal of glory is important in these places.
It's not just giving Bayern Munich a lead.
※※※
Looking at the Bayern Munich players celebrating the goal, Villarreal's players were a little unwilling to accept it.
Originally, the initiative was on their side. If there was no such goal, they would be confident that they would be able to score soon.
But at this critical moment, Glory scored a goal...
His goal was like a heart-strengthening needle, which quickly restored Bayern Munich from a dying state.
And when such a giant returns to their normal state, it will make people feel desperate - it is too difficult to defeat them.
Originally, Villarreal's strategy was to use active running and stealing to take the initiative after the game began, and strive to disrupt Bayern Munich's rhythm, so as to score in the chaos.
They almost succeeded, if not glory...
They actually made some defensive preparations for Glory, but who can ensure that they always faithfully implement the coach's tactical requirements throughout the game?
There are always some surprises.
They did a good job before, but just such an negligence allowed Rongguang to seize the opportunity
This kid's ability to seize opportunities is really strong
It's so tiring to play with him... because you don't dare to make any negligence or mistakes.
※※※
Chilean "engineer" Pellegrini stood on the sidelines, with her hands wrapped around her chest, her face was dull, and her gray eyes looked at the court, no one knew what he was thinking.
The tactics he carefully arranged before the game seemed to be invalid.
What to do next?
The brain of the "engineer" is running rapidly.
※※※
When the game started again, Pellegrini made the decision.
At first, he hoped to be able to score first goals to ensure at least a draw away. If he is lucky, he would win.
But now that it is unlikely to win away, it is better not to win.
It is also OK to lose the away game, as long as you only lose one goal.
If you only lose one goal and return to your home court, there will be a chance in this game.
If you lose a big score in the first round, it will be boring to go back to home.
So the yellow submarine entered defensive mode again.
Everyone took it back and participated in the defense.
Rikelme doesn't have to participate in defense, but he will use his own ball control to slow down the opponent's offensive rhythm.
At the same time, it can also cause the opponent's foul.
In previous games against other teams, this approach has been tried and tested.
To be continued...
