Chapter 103 Halftime! Change of Sides and Start of the Game

Five minutes passed quickly and neither side was able to score again.

After returning to the locker room, the head coaches of both sides began to lay out the tactics for the second half.

Heynckes emphasized a stable style of play time and time again.

From the past, he has discovered that Bayern Munich today has an element of instability.

Always likes to play some risky offense, which sometimes leads to huge mistakes.

This is very different from Bayern, which was extremely stable during his coaching period. Although he tried his best to suppress this factor and want to eliminate it, it was difficult to do so.

Now he can only suppress it temporarily and wait for adjustments to be made slowly.

For him and Bayern, it would be fine as long as this game no longer has such instability.

In addition, Heynckes also emphasized that the midfielder must do something.

Tactics are tactics. If the players' performance cannot meet the tactical needs, all tactics will be in vain.

Just like in the first half, sometimes Bayern clearly had opportunities to attack, but they were always delayed due to various reasons.

Arsenal, on the other hand, are much more decisive in this kind of decision-making.

Lucky's many forward passes helped Arsenal increase a lot of shooting opportunities.

Although they failed to score, no one can guarantee that the second half will still be like this.

Arsenal is also making adjustments. Unlike Heynckes, Mourinho puts more emphasis on team coordination.

Whether it is offense or defense, coordination is required.

Use the strength of this team to impact, rather than individual heroism.

The seeds of Arsenal's team playing style have been planted since the Wenger era, and they burst out with shocking energy in the 2014/2015 season.

And now, this energy is slowly recovering.

Mourinho believes that as long as they can persist, they will definitely be able to score goals with Arsenal's ability to find opportunities.

At the same time, the Sky Sports commentary station was also analyzing the situation in the first half.

"There is a problem with Bayern's midfield, or it is overly suppressed. In the process of transmission from the backcourt to the frontcourt, the midfielder is an area that must pass through. It is also responsible for sorting out and distributing the ball. Once this space is occupied by Arsenal, After Na took possession, Bayern had problems with the ball, and it also caused Laiwan to be unable to catch the ball! "

"Lai Wan is not likely to retrace his steps. He is not the kind of sharp dribbling player who can carry out long-distance attacks. His greater threat lies in the area in front of the goal."

"This requires Ronaldo, Koeman or Muller to lead the offense! The only thing I am confused about is that Koeman's performance does not seem to be as expected."

Ferguson expressed his opinion.

Wenger on the side added: "There is a reason why Koeman's performance is not outstanding. If it is on the spot, the information we can capture through the camera is limited, and Bayern has always wanted to make a breakthrough through Muller's wing. This caused a great obstacle to Bayern’s overall offense!”

"As for Koeman, it's not that Bayern hasn't tried it, but Kante's defensive ability is also very good, but his playing style is too low-key, and Kai attracts too much attention!"

Wenger still knows Kante.

It goes without saying whether Kanter is strong or not.

Lucky and Kanter are the first and strongest valves in Arsenal's midfield.

It can be said that Lucky and Kanter supported a large area of ​​Arsenal's defensive area.

But the main reason why Kanter is inconspicuous is that Kanter's style is too low-key and Lucky is too dazzling.

If you interview Koeman, he will probably curse, after all, Kanter takes good care of him.

After the two commentators finished speaking, Andy Gray saw a signal appear on the screen in front of him, which was the signal before the start.

He knew that the second half of the game was about to begin.

Andy Gray immediately grabbed the words and began to say; "Okay, the game footage appeared on the camera. After the halftime break, neither side made any substitutions. The first half ended in a 1:1 draw. Bayern's No. 9 player Lai Wan and Arsenal's captain Kai scored goals for the team respectively! "

"The second half will definitely become a more intense battlefield for both sides. We will wait and see how the game will win!"

Bayern and Arsenal players walked out of the player tunnel one after another.

The fans in the stands also cheered fiercely.

After the exciting first half, they were even more looking forward to the second half.

Of course, for Bayern fans, they expect Bayern to score, while Arsenal fans hope that the Gunners will score.

They all support their own teams!

Soon, the players from both sides returned to the field. The two sides exchanged venues and changed sides.

In the second half, Bayern took the lead and got the opportunity to attack first.

Arsenal, on the other hand, continued to stand firm and defend.

With the whistle, the game begins.

After Bayern kicked off, they immediately took an offensive stance.

Arsenal also continued to defend steadily.

The difference is that Ronaldo started to control the ball more.

Obviously, Heynckes hopes that Ronaldo can exert greater energy and rely on his own ability to find opportunities on the wing.

And Ronaldo's choice is also very realistic.

That is to stay away from Lucky!

Ronaldo chose Kanter's wing.

He passed the ball to Koeman and then moved forward crazily.

Kante would not be expected by the opponent's simple two-on-one, and immediately followed James Rodriguez, while giving the task of limiting Coman to Bellerin.

Coman passed the ball along the side, and James Rodriguez got the ball, but he still couldn't get rid of Kante's defense.

He flicked the ball sideways, staring at Kante's feet, trying to find an opportunity to break through.

But he didn't move, and Kante didn't move either.

Kante patiently waited for the opponent to make a mistake.

At this time, James Rodriguez suddenly flicked the ball sideways, trying to make Kante move to the left.

But Kante's decision was beyond his expectations. Kante actually rushed forward and poked the ball with his foot.

The ball immediately hit James Rodriguez's ankle and flew out of the sideline.

Kante and James Rodriguez raised their hands at the same time.

The linesman on the side pointed to the direction of Arsenal's attack, and the referee Hartgan awarded Arsenal a sideline ball.

"Very decisive pressing! James Rodriguez's breakthrough did not work, and Kante's control of the timing of his kick was very accurate!"

Andy Gray said with a smile.

Arsenal's stable performance always makes them feel comfortable.

Wenger on the side also smiled and looked very happy.

Arsenal's sideline ball, Lekai also took the initiative to run over to receive the ball.

However, Bellerin passed the ball to Aubameyang, who was a winger.

Aubameyang passed the ball back to Kante, who directly passed it to Lekai.

After Lekai received the ball, he immediately made a ball-protecting move. After finding that there was no one, he slowly turned around and kept swinging his head left and right to observe.

There was no chance for a quick counterattack, so Lekai transferred the ball.

After Mane received the ball, he tried to break through, but saw that the opponent's defense line immediately rushed over, and he was scared and quickly passed it back.

Lekai got the ball again, and he passed the ball to Ramsey.

He signaled Ramsey to move forward, and Lekai retreated to fill the position and served as a defensive midfielder.

This kind of positional complementarity between players often appears in the game.

Lekai sometimes even plays the role of a full-back or even a winger.

Of course, he was not a big threat in this position, so he was just helping people to see the position.

Arsenal was slow to attack, and Bayern began to get ready.

Their pressing in the frontcourt began to become fierce.

With more intense physical confrontation, the gunpowder smell of the game began to rise again.

Lekai received the back pass again, and he looked from a distance.

He still hoped to lure Neuer out and make another lob.

But after the start of the second half, Neuer was nailed in the penalty area and refused to come out.

It is estimated that the lob in the first half taught him enough lessons.

Neuer did not come out, and Lekai could only continue to pass the ball, constantly using the width of the field to engage the opponent's defense line and look for opportunities to advance.

However, the overly procrastinating attack caused Arsenal to lose the ball in the frontcourt.

Bayern immediately launched a counterattack.

The ball was directly passed to Coman's feet, Coman passed it back, and then immediately turned around and ran.

James followed up and passed the ball.

The two of them cooperated to pass Kante, and before Bellerin stepped forward to limit him, Coman had already passed the ball.

"Coman passed the ball! This ball!"

The German commentator shouted excitedly.

However, Hummels was not a pushover, he fought hard to get the first point and broke the ball out.
