Chapter 1197
I have to say that strictly speaking, Southampton's biggest advantage over Bayern is not their players and overall strength.
As for the center forward, Southampton has Du Yue, and Bayern also has Lewandowski.
At the core of the midfield, they are not close. Southampton has De Bruyne, but Bayern's midfield organization is not the most important thing. Their wing attack is the key.
Both sides of the defense line have some problems now. In terms of goalkeeper, Neuer is still better.
On the whole, the two sides are evenly matched, nothing more than Southampton's two cores are better, and the thickness of the bench is indeed stronger.
But this is not a decisive gap. The real decisive gap between the two sides is the coach.
Ji Ya is undoubtedly the top head coach, and although Flick's coaching performance was good last season, he lacks continuity, and he is worse than Ji Ya in terms of experience.
It seems that at this time, his calculations are basically calculated by Ji Ya, step by step, tactically, crushing the opponent to death.
The coach's tactical suppression is definitely a buff-like existence. Although it will not necessarily work, when the top teams play against each other, a head coach's tactical arrangements can improve the team's game effect.
That's what's happening on the field right now.
The two sides were constantly entangled on the field, but Southampton's players played with confidence, while Bayern played a bit depressed.
Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that Southampton has the advantage.
If you have an advantage on the court, if you want to score goals, you have to seize the opportunity.
Bayern's guard against Du Yue is quite strict. Unfortunately, when Du Yue is paid special attention to, there will be more problems in other positions.
In the No. 18 minute of the game, Southampton scored a goal through a beautiful frontcourt attack!
Alaba's forward pass was interrupted by Valverde, the ball quickly passed to Du Yue's feet, and Southampton began to counterattack.
Du Yue dribbled the ball quickly through the midfield, and then under the entanglement of the opponent, he passed the ball skillfully to the left side of the penalty area. At the back point, Valverde who went forward received the ball, and Du Yue rushed to the middle of the small penalty area, attracting enough defensive attention, but Valverde lifted his foot and passed the ball in an inverted triangle near the penalty spot!
De Bruyne, who advanced forward and followed up, faced the ball rolling over, pushed and shot without stopping the ball, and the ball flew into Bayern's goal without any suspense!
"The ball went in! De Bruyne! The running and dragging of Du Yue and others created enough space for him! When De Bruyne shot, there was no one around him defending. Facing this shot, Nuo Il didn't have any chance!"
In the chanting of the commentator, De Bruyne rushed to the sidelines excitedly, Du Yue jumped up from behind, and together with him, they shook their fists at the stands.
"One to zero, Southampton extended their lead to two goals! Bayern is indeed a little worse than them! Now they have a great advantage, and Bayern needs to perform better in the next time. OK!"
Frick shook his head helplessly. He was still at a disadvantage in the confrontation. Now he can only hope that the team can stabilize and continue to entangle. Only in this way can there be hope.
"Steady, don't rush forward." Ji Ya made a gesture of pressing down on the field.
For a team like Bayern, you can't expect to kill them directly with a stick, you have to keep pestering them.
The Southampton players nodded one after another. For such a situation, they have long been psychologically prepared, and they will continue to entangle in a steady manner, and then firmly hold the victory in their hands. This is what they have to do.
Bayern will continue to create opportunities in the following time. Unfortunately, under the pressure and confrontation of Southampton, it is still a bit difficult for them to really create good opportunities.
Lewandowski had a beautiful kick over the top, but the pass was a little too big. Sane went forward to grab the point and failed to touch the ball. The ball was caught by Martin who was attacking. Sane stretched his foot and almost kicked Martin. This The action also caused skirmishes between the two sides.
It was not until the end of the first half that Bayern created a good opportunity again. Koeman took the ball from the left side of the penalty area and passed it back to the top of the arc. Muller followed up and shot directly without stopping the ball, but was replaced by Lu Digg blocked it with his body.
"Good job!"
Ji Ya slapped the field. This kind of instantaneous reaction to block and fight is what Rudiger is good at. To put it bluntly, it is a direct instinctive reaction. His physical fitness explodes, which is quite admirable.
A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and Southampton entered the intermission with a [-]-[-] lead at home.
"I did a good job in the first half, and I continued to entangle with them in the second half... Anyway, we will definitely score one in the second half, so even if they score, there is nothing to worry about."
Ji Ya said with a smile in the locker room, which caused a burst of laughter from the players. He said, "There will definitely be one in the second half." He was talking about Du Yue. After all, since the beginning of this season, he has scored in every game. ...
He hasn't scored so far, so he will definitely score in the second half.
This is also a superstition, but if Du Yue scored in every game before, then this is not a superstition, but a rule.
As for Flick, he can only continue to encourage the team and perform better in the next period of time, otherwise, this knockout match will really have no chance at all...
He doesn't even have anyone to replace. Although Bayern's bench thickness is good, the only one available on the bench is Harvey Martinez. As a versatile player in the backcourt, Martinez can play offensively. The effect is not that great.
Although another reliable center Shubo Moting can also play, but who can he replace?Can't replace Lewandow...
So he can only persevere like this, wait for the team to perform better in the second half, try to equalize the score, then go to the lead, and then try to expand the score. In the process, Southampton should not score.
Although it seems difficult, it is not impossible. After all, they are now two hemispheres behind if they talk about breaking the sky.
And if the two sides can score more goals in the second half, then there may be a chance to equalize the disadvantage of away goals. Although they failed to score in the first half, Southampton's defense is a little loose, and there is still a chance.
It's just that Ji Ya doesn't intend to give him this opportunity, and he will definitely make good use of the advantage of the two balls.
