Chapter 142 The divided Bayern defense!
On the day of the game, due to the other two strong matchups of the Champions League knockout rounds, Barcelona VS Juventus, Arsenal VS Paris, these two games were all completed in yesterday's match day.
Therefore, in today's match day, the only focus of the game is Manchester City vs. Bayern, and the Allianz Arena has also attracted the attention of football fans all over the world.
"Andy, everyone is now predicting the outcome of this game. Can you analyze the recent performance of the two teams from an objective perspective and give the fans a more accurate prediction?"
In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, Lineker challenged Andy Gray in the prediction link before the start of the game, wanting to see how the commentator who is currently wearing a pair of pants with Manchester City can objectively analyze the game.
"It's a match between two really strong teams, like Barcelona [-]-[-] Juventus yesterday, Arsenal [-]-PSG.
In those two games, both sides played relatively conservatively, and they appeared cautious in the first round of the contest. We can see that the various giants in Europe are quite jealous.
So I feel that in today's game, the two sides are either a draw, or Manchester City beat Bayern Munich by a small margin! "
"Why? Why do you think Manchester City could beat Bayern?
This year's Bayern is extremely stable under the leadership of Ancelotti, and I feel that a draw is more likely.
Andy, Manchester City's performance in the Champions League this year, except for the one game against Barcelona, their performance in other games is not good. I don't think they can beat Bayern Munich, which has richer DNA in the Champions League.
However, after Manchester City got Kanter, their defensive ability has also been greatly strengthened. Today, when Robery's state is declining, Bayern is unlikely to get an excellent opportunity.
And the opponent has a tough style of play and a coach who is familiar with the Premier League,
Guardiola is facing a difficult choice. He needs to consider adjusting the formation structure and changing the firepower ratio of the center and frontcourt, and strive to establish enough advantages in the first round to increase the fault tolerance rate of the away game in the second round.
The same is true for Ancelotti.
So I feel the same as the previous two strong matchups. After the two teams test each other, the possibility of a draw is the highest. "
Lineker quickly refuted Andy Gray's point of view and gave his own prediction.
But apparently Andy Gray disagrees with Lineker:
"Hey bro, trust me! City's chances of winning today are definitely higher than Bayern's.
Yes, Bayern currently ranks first in the Bundesliga standings, a full ten points ahead of No.2 Dortmund. Now that the Bundesliga has reached the second round of No.20, they are definitely the biggest favorites for the Bundesliga championship.
However, Manchester City's performance in the Premier League is undoubtedly better. With [-] league rounds left,
Manchester City leads No.2 Arsenal by a full nineteen points, which is the most exaggerated lead in the history of the Premier League, especially when the Premier League is obviously more intense than the Bundesliga, Manchester City's performance is undoubtedly more dominant.
And just like Kanter you just mentioned, in fact, before the start of this season, the two teams of Manchester City and Bayern were very similar in terms of personnel reserves.
Both teams have a large number of veterans who are over [-] years old, and both are facing the aging and replacement of a championship lineup after many years of use.
Faced with this situation, the two teams made different choices. The wealthy Manchester City spent a lot of money. They spent [-] million euros to directly reinforce most of the teams.
And Bayern only reinforced a Brazilian winger and a 19-year-old French young man when Robery could only play one-third of the game throughout the season.
Then because of Piggy's departure, Harvey Martinez's injury and decline in condition, he bought Vidal to supplement the lineup.
Bayern has been making small repairs and repairs carefully. The two old wingers were still able to use, so they bought two young people to practice leveling.
Although this lineup is still the top European team, it is already three years later. Three years after they won the Champions League,
Bayern, whose main core framework has not been replaced, is definitely not as strong as their chairman Hoeness said.
They lost all the championships last season and it can be seen that the aging of this team is very serious.
As long as Zhao Jinge can play, I feel that Manchester City has a chance to win the away game, and we have just received the starting lists of both sides.
Although Zhao Jinge is not in Manchester City's starting list, I believe that Pep will never put his sharpest knife on the shelf!
As long as Zhao Jinge is given a certain amount of playing time, I believe that Bayern's current defense line is definitely not the opponent of the Bundesliga Golden Boot! "
Andy Gray expressed his analysis and judgment loudly, and Lineker, who was next to him, looked at his confident old partner and couldn't help shaking his head:
"Okay! I hope your analysis will work. The game is about to start. Let's look forward to this wonderful matchup."
Familiar stage, past grievances, old clubs and old opponents, new tactics and new goals.
As two teams that have played against each other in the group stage in the previous two seasons, the match between Manchester City and Bayern is not only an intellectual competition between famous coaches, but also a head-on collision between two trends in the field of contemporary football tactics.
Ancelotti, the conservative tactical master from Italy, and Guardiola, who prefers offensive football.
Top teams, top coaches, one of the most intense matchups in today's football is officially staged!
At 09:30 that night, the game officially started at the Allianz Arena.
For Bayern, just as Guardiola expected before the game, Ancelotti sent a more conservative starting lineup of [-].
Lewandowski stepped forward, and Costa and Robben were left and right.
The front midfielder is Thomas Muller, and the two midfielders are Thiago and Vidal. In order to ensure the vitality of the midfield, Ancelotti did not choose the older Xavi Alonso.
In the case of Boateng and Martinez's injuries, the two central defenders are the 1.8-meter-tall "Liu Xing" Alaba and the 1.7-meter-[-] Bayern Prince Kimmich.
Alaba can switch his position on the full-back, but let the prince's height play the center-back, because Bayern's center-back is a little empty, Benatia can't be reused, and let Dante go.
After Martinez was reimbursed last season, his attendance rate this season was less than one-third, and there were constant minor injuries.
Boateng's attendance has also dropped sharply from a stable 25 six league games for several consecutive seasons to [-] games, and the combined attendance rate of all events throughout the season is only slightly better than Martinez.
This forced Ancelotti to send a central defender with such a low altitude, plus the left back 23-year-old Bernat with a height of 1.7 meters and the right back "team short" Ram, Bayern's defense is definitely Surprisingly short.
It can even be said that Bayern used four full-backs to form the defense line tonight, which is definitely a rare gift for the extremely powerful Manchester City!
Before the game, when they saw Bayern's starting roster, the Manchester City players were discussing whether to show the characteristics of the Premier League team, and at the beginning of the game, a few waves of high-level shots gave Bayern's short defense a blow.
It's a pity that Zhao Jinge didn't start the game, Aguero's height is only 1.7 meters, and Mane and Mahrez are not 1.8 meters.
Unless De Bruyne and Yaya Toure in the midfield are plugged in, the height of Manchester City's attack line is really the same as Bayern's short defense line.
In desperation, the Manchester City players gave up the idea of playing high balls, and could only wait until set-piece tactics and Zhao Jinge played before torturing Bayern's last line of defense!
After the game officially started, Manchester City continued to attack Bayern's two wings in accordance with Guardiola's pre-match instructions.
First, Kyle Walker and Mahrez on the right used their much stronger bodies than Costa and Bernat to wreak havoc on Bayern's left.
Manchester City's two wingers are no worse than Bayern's wingers in terms of speed and technique, and Walker is even much faster in speed.
Coupled with that completely incomparable physical confrontation ability, at the beginning of the game, Walker relied on his bulldozer-style hem to break through Bayern's wing defense.
Had it not been for Thiago and Alaba's timely defense, Bayern's side defense was on the verge of collapse at the beginning of the game.
This situation not only surprised all the fans around the world, even the two head coaches on the sidelines couldn't believe their eyes.
Ancelotti did not expect Manchester City's wing attack to be so turbulent. Walker's unstoppable advance and Mahrez's rapid forward and backward pass and connection, Bayern's wide players alone could not defend at all.
It's not that their skills are not good, or that their speed can't keep up, but the gap in physical confrontation ability is completely irreparable.
Manchester City's wide players did not make any foul moves of pulling or pushing. They just used their better core strength and confrontation ability to easily squeeze away Bayern's defensive players. One-on-one confrontation is not an opponent at all. What to do?
Ancelotti watched Bernat hang his body on Walker, but he couldn't stop Walker from moving forward. It was Thiago's double-team, forcing Walker to pass back to Mahrez.
After being defended by Alaba in the inside cut, the Polo King used a precise and wide-range transfer to find Mane on the other side of the court!
The Senegalese took Yaya Toure forward and rushed towards Bayern's right line of defense formed by Lahm and Kimmich.
If it weren't for Lahm's timely positioning and interrupting the football at Mane's feet in a one-on-one duel, Bayern's defense on the right would definitely be more uncomfortable than the left!
Alaba can withstand the frontal impact of Mahrez, but what can the young prince Kimmich use to carry Yaya Toure!
With experience, body, and even the small skills under his feet, Toure's forward offense is completely beyond what Kimmich can compete with today!
Seeing his own team finally resisting the first wave of offensive, Ancelotti relaxed a little.
Although he didn't change his face and his heart beat, An Shuai had already revealed his iconic big and small eyes. He knew that Manchester City's attack line was full of impact, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce!
This is still the case when Zhao Jinge didn't play. If that monster could play, with his speed, height, and good header ability, wouldn't Bayern's patchwork short defense be instantly beaten? burst!
Ancelotti looked at the opposite bench, looking for the figure that frightened him. When he saw Zhao Jinge sitting with Guardiola, he kept pointing at the game on the field.
Zhao Jinge's appearance of listening carefully to Guardiola's on-the-spot instructions, as well as his combative eyes when looking at Bayern's defense line, instantly made An Pang's scalp tingle!
During the field training this afternoon, Ancelotti sent someone to watch Zhao Jinge's performance during training.
When he learned that Zhao Jinge was able to participate in training normally, Ancelotti already knew that tonight's game would not be easy.
He originally thought that Zhao Jinge would start, so he specially arranged for Vidal and Kimmich to mark Zhao Jinge together!
Vidal confronted head-on as a meat shield, and Kimmich relied on speed and flexibility to defend from the back. This is already the best response that Ancelotti can use in the case of insufficient manpower.
However, he never expected that Zhao Jinge, who had already recovered, would not start the game!
He didn't even think that before Zhao Jinge played, his defense line consisting of four full-backs could no longer hold up.
The two defensive midfielders were directly forced to support the two sides, completely emptying the center. Thomas Muller had to return to defend and entangle De Bruyne, who was organized in the center.
After 10 minutes from the start of the game, Bayern has been completely suppressed by Manchester City!
Guardiola on the other side of the field did not expect Bayern's defense to be so hip!
Had it not been for Lahm to hold Mane and Alaba to entangle Mahrez, the waists of Vidal and Thiago could have intercepted Yaya Toure and Walker in time,
As far as Kimmich and Bernat are concerned, Manchester City bluntly said that they can penetrate directly!
Manchester City's two players on the left side of Bayern, Mahrez and Walker, both have the ability to transfer the ball in a wide range.
After attracting the help of Bayern's central defender and defensive midfielder, the two new aids who are not head-to-head can always transfer the ball to the other side of the court in time.
De Bruyne and Yaya Toure also focused on Kimmich's advance. After attracting Thiago and Alaba's defense on the left, as long as Manchester City's right-sided players can transfer the ball come over.
From the right side of Bayern's big penalty area to the long area near the middle, Manchester City can always form a combination of Mane, Ding, Toure, Aguero and Ram, Kimmich, Vidal, Muller, and Robben. Four against five!
The Bayern line of defense, whose formation was divided, inevitably fell into a greater crisis!
