Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Chapter 163 Dual-core function, using offense instead of defense (page 12)

"Beep~"

As the referee Bruchy blew his whistle, the 2015 German Super Cup officially kicked off.

"wuwuuuuuu——"

Bayern gained a kick-off advantage, and Lewandowski had just kicked the ball to Thiago, and the Wolfsburg fans in the Volkswagen Arena instantly burst into harsh boos.

At the same time, starting from Dost, the Wolfsburg players on the field tacitly rushed towards Thiago holding the ball and the potential receivers near him.

Facing the pressure from the home team players, Thiago did not dare to hold the ball too much. He pulled the ball back with his right foot, then turned to face his own goal, and then handed the ball to central defender Boateng.

The 4141 formation gradually emerged as the players spread out in all directions.

After two defeats against Wolfsburg last season, Guardiola knew the problem.

Patience, more patience than Wolfsburg played.

In the two lost games, I wanted to dominate the game through my good kicking method, so I always tried to pass more threatening balls when I thought it was possible to penetrate Wolfsburg's defense.

As a result, Wolfsburg successfully counterattacked efficiently and lost the game again and again by conceding the ball.

In order to avoid falling into the same pit multiple times, Guardiola's team developed an extremely detailed game plan before the game.

He divided the forty-five minutes of the first half into nine sections, and each time section had corresponding game tactics.

In the first five minutes, with the advantage of kick-off, we focused on stability and slowly pushed forward to test Wolfsburg's strength.

The result was just as Guardiola imagined before the game. Wolfsburg's defense was tight in the middle, making it difficult to pass the ball to dangerous areas.

Although the two wing defenses were relatively loose, they did not dare to invest a large number of troops.

When attacking, the two full-backs are not allowed to participate in the attack at the same time.

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said with a smile: "It seems that Guardiola was shadowed by the defeat of two key battles last season. You must know that in his tactical system, the two full-backs rarely take turns to participate in the attack."

"It is true, but there is no problem with Guardiola's choice. It is very dangerous for two full-backs to participate in the attack at the same time. Once the offense switches to defense, there is no way to prevent Wolfsburg from counterattacking. De Bruyne or Martin can send it out. Very penetrating pass."

Guest commentator Li Yuankui calmly analyzed: "Sometimes when you put down your body, you can better formulate corresponding game tactics and pave the way for winning. If Bayern can stabilize their mentality, they will have a high possibility of defeating Wolfsburg , won the first championship in 2015!"

Bayern's game tactics in the German Super Cup are dominant and controlled, and they strictly follow the game tactics formulated by Guardiola before the game.

It wasn't until the third period of time planned by Guardiola that the game slightly changed the tactics. Captain Robben, who was holding the ball on the right, tried to break through, testing the concentration of Wolfsburg's defense on the left.

In the iconic 'Robben Corridor', Robben's choice was particularly decisive.

Bayern's first shot of the game was completed by Robben cutting in to the front of the penalty area on the right side. He passed by Perisic, De Bruyne and Gustavo and decisively used the instep of his left foot to shoot into the far corner.

The curved ball was kicked at a large angle, but because of this, it missed the outside of the left goal post and missed the baseline.

"Hahaha--"

The Wolfsburg fans in the audience burst into laughter, mocking Robben for his wild shot.

The person involved, Robben, didn't care about this. He shook his head, thinking that if he had another chance, he would calibrate before shooting.

Immediately, Benaglio took a short goal kick.

After the Naldo transition, the football came to Martin's feet.

Lewandowski and Muller pounced on each other, one to the left and one to the right in a very purposeful manner. At the same time, Thiago also had to be careful that Martin would take the ball and turn around in a way that they could not imagine.

Martin seemed to know what the opponent was thinking in advance. He did not show off his increasingly perfect ball-handling skills, but safely handed the ball to left center back Tim Klose, then ran back and came between the two center backs.

Lewandowski did not attack Tim Klose, but continued to follow Martin and did not let him get the ball to organize the offense.

Black Gold had long thought before the game that Guardiola would send someone to keep an eye on Martin, so he asked De Bruyne to drop back to organize the attack.

Guardiola's strategy is to let Thiago follow the defense and bring a certain amount of pressure on De Bruyne with the ball.

Martin is alive and cannot be watched to death by Lewandowski.

Wolfsburg's offense is systematic, and each player has his own movement and tactical execution.

De Bruyne, like Martin, always chooses to play the ball safely when his back is facing the direction of the attack, and distributes the ball to left back Ricardo Rodriguez who is close to the left sideline.

The offense developed to the left, and Bayern's defense shifted to the right as a whole.

Martin also moved to the left, and Lewandowski also consciously approached his right defense to cut off the connection between Wolfsburg's left player and Martin.

Perisic ran back to the left, pretending to meet Ricardo Rodriguez, and brought the young Kimmich to the center line.

Ricardo Rodriguez pretended to pass the ball to Perisic, then pulled the ball to the right with the sole of his left foot, and directly made a long pass to the far end right back Sebastian Jung.

Martin stopped suddenly before Ricardo Rodriguez made a long pass and moved closer to his right side.

Lewandowski only focused on the receiving route to Carmartin. Unexpectedly, Ricardo Rodriguez handed the ball to the right back Sebastian Jung on the other side of the half, and he had to turn around. Chasing Martin.

De Bruyne and Vierinha on the right both consciously recovered, forcing Bayern's defensive players to press forward, otherwise a huge vacuum would appear in the middle.

Sebastian Yong, who was receiving the ball, saw Martin asking for the ball and immediately passed the ball over.

Guardiola, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, raised his eyebrows and felt bad.

Lewandowski was left behind by Martin, and Douglas Costa was attracted by Sebastian Jung with the ball.

At this moment, Martin had no one to put pressure on him.

Therefore, Martin took the ball passed by Sebastian Rong forward for more than half a meter, then made a long pass from the right rib of his own backcourt about 20 meters away from the center line, and sent the ball to the left side of the frontcourt.

Perisic, who was originally running back from the left to meet Ricardo Rodriguez, was turning back at the same beat as Martin sent a long pass just in advance.

Kimmich, who only reported to Bayern this summer, is strong in offense and weak in defense. He never expected that Wolfsburg's offensive rhythm would be so fast.

The kick was still slow at first, but after the transfer was completed, the pace of handing the football to Martin suddenly accelerated.

Not only Kimmich failed to catch up with Bayern's entire defense, but other defensive players did not realize it.

Even head coach Guardiola didn't realize it. He looked at Perisic getting closer and closer to the football, and his heart thumped, knowing that something was wrong.

The long ball sent by Martin is accurate to the millimeter, and the ball reaches the person.
