Chapter 188 Time to counterattack!

Chapter 188 Time to counterattack!

In the opening 8 minutes, although Bayern Munich was in control of the ball and attacking most of the time, it was not a big threat to Manchester City's penalty area. In the end, the soft one was confiscated by Joe Hart.

The game was pretty boring, Bayern Munich kept crossing back and forth, Manchester City couldn't get the ball.

Hitzfeld stood on the sidelines, signaling the players to continue to press on.

Of course, Bayern Munich wants to press hard and eat Manchester City in one bite, but as soon as the football passes the middle circle, Bayern Munich players have nothing to do with Manchester City's tight defensive formation.

After taking the ball again, Lucio tried a long pass, but his footwork is average, and the football runs in the air for a long time, Manchester City has enough time to move the formation and organize the defense.

"Manchester City's defensive formation is maintained well, and the team's sense of position is also good."

Hitzfeld was aware of Manchester City's defensive tactics.

So taking advantage of a dead ball, Hitzfeld called Van Bommel to the sidelines: "Mark, try a wide range of transfers, don't let the ball stay on one side all the time!"

A wide range of transfers is indeed one of the sharp weapons to break Manchester City's overall defense.

However, large-scale transfer is easy to say, but it is not so easy to implement.

Because Van Bommel is a single midfielder, Schweinsteiger often goes forward, which is also required by Hitzfeld's tactics.

A single midfielder requires Van Bommel to have sufficient space for organization and scheduling.

But Manchester City's defense has never been passive, but open and active.

Two or three players from Manchester City will always appear around Van Bommel, preventing him from having a chance to organize calmly.

Once Bayern Munich makes a mistake, once Manchester City steals the ball, they can immediately launch a counterattack on the spot!

In the Sky Sports broadcast, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray are explaining the game.

"It seems that Bayern Munich is in trouble. Manchester City's defense makes Bayern Munich's offense very difficult. We can see that their team's formation is very good, and the defensive pressure on Bayern is also very powerful. I think Bayern as long as once If you lose the ball, you will immediately face a stormy counterattack from Manchester City.” Andy Gray is still a staunch supporter of Duncan.

"Compared with Bayern, it seems that Manchester City can only defend, and can't attack?" Martin Taylor said pickily: "With all due respect, this way of playing football consumes a lot of physical energy for the players. Constantly running I doubt whether Manchester City still have the physical strength to maintain such a defensive strength in the second half of the game with this way of playing football."

Of course, if Duncan heard it, he would definitely snort his nostrils.

Brother is supported by the Juling Formation, the team lacks everything, except physical fitness!

Sure enough, Bayern Munich began a large-scale transfer.

Not only Van Bommel's long and short scheduling, Lahm and Lyle also often pass the ball in a wide range and long distances.

Bayern's players still have footwork.

In the 19th minute, after Van Bommel and Lahm crossed one on the left, Van Bommel took the ball and passed the football to the right.At this time, Manchester City's right was slightly empty, Ribery cut inside after taking the ball, and sure enough, a shot came from the front of Manchester City's penalty area.

There are a lot of people in Manchester City's penalty area, and it is difficult to perform continuous passing in a small area. Therefore, Ribery did not choose to cut inside, but directly chose to shoot.

The fans of the visiting team finally got a sense of presence and burst into cheers. Only then were the fans of the visiting team occupying two stands noticed.

Manchester City fans exclaimed.

But when they saw that Duncan still had a leisurely attitude, they put their hearts in their stomachs.

The head coach is not worried, there must be no problem!

Duncan is naturally not worried.

Duncan could see that Heathfield's arrangement was a large-scale transfer.

But so what?

You still have to hit the penalty area eventually!

Any attack is more threatening the closer it is to the goal, and Manchester City's penalty area is full of people, no matter how you move in a wide range, won't you still enter the penalty area in the end?

Taking a step back, can such a long pass with a long distance and precise placement really be passed every time?

Duncan shook his head indifferently.

And Manchester City's frontcourt players are still running spare no effort to drive away Bayern Munich's ball-holding space.

Schweinsteiger caught Van Bommel, saw players on both sides double-team up, and passed the ball back.

But the players who double-teamed Schweinsteiger did not choose to give up, but still chased the ball and rushed towards Van Bommel with all their strength.

The distance is too close, and the two are on the left and the right, blocking most of the angles of Van Bommel's shot.

Van Bommel took the ball back and wanted to pass it back. Samaras had been waiting behind Van Bommel. Seeing Van Bommel turn around, he hooked the football with his long legs.

Then Samaras turned and arched his waist, and Van Bommel only felt that he had hit a wall of flesh.

Samaras, who got the ball, started immediately!

Opportunity!

Duncan straightened up, concentrated, and put all his attention on the court!

Behind Van Bommel is Bayern Munich's weak defense.

Ram on the left is still in the frontcourt, only double backs Demichelis, Lucio and right back Lyle are in the backcourt.

Pedro on the left, Silva on the right, and forward Shevchenko are all desperately advancing.

Three arrows at once!

"Samaras steals the ball! Four-on-three in the frontcourt! Manchester City's great opportunity!" Andy Gray yelled, almost scaring Martin Taylor to the ground.

Samaras didn't think much after stealing the ball, but kept running forward.In the past few days, he could think of several routines practiced by the team even with his eyes closed.

At this time, you must keep calm!

The running positions of Pedro, Silva and Shevchenko have also been tempered. Once Samaras takes the ball, the three people run in different directions and at different speeds, maintaining a very good sense of hierarchy.

It makes Bayern Munich's double central defender very uncomfortable.

In terms of speed, Demichelis and Lucio have never been at an advantage.

Lyle looked at Pedro on the right, so Demichelis marked Shevchenko, and Lucio blocked the pass from Samaras to Silva.

Silva is the core of Manchester City's offense. Isolating him will reduce the pressure on Manchester City's offense.

In the eyes of Lucio, Samaras pass footwork is not very good.

The routine practiced for a week was like a conditioned reflex. With his eyes closed, Samaras knew his teammates' running positions.
