I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 155 Two upcoming decisive battles!
On March [-]th, Bayern Munich, who came to Manchester one day earlier, participated in the pre-match press conference held that afternoon.

When Bayern coach Ancelotti attended the press conference, he became the focus of media attention. When a reporter from Bild asked him how he viewed the next day's game, the Italian looked dignified and the wrinkles on his face became more profound. .

After being silent for a while, Ancelotti gave his answer in consideration.

"Now, we need to give our best performance tomorrow. Then we need a bit of luck and motivation. After the video analysis of the last game against Manchester City,
I still stand by what I said: 'I'm very happy with the first six 10 minutes of the game.We were unlucky not to score when we were playing better. '

We are now at a point of life and death, and the most important thing is not to be distracted by other things.

In football, nothing is impossible.

Now, I can feel that we are all hungry for revenge, but you can only climb to the top of the mountain step by step and win.

We need a good training atmosphere and quality and that's what we already have. "

Ancelotti did not say any rhetoric, the Italian old man told Bayern's desire for revenge in a low tone.

"What kind of tactics will Bayern adopt in tomorrow's game? Everyone thinks that Bayern has no choice but to attack."

The reporter from Bild asked Ancelotti again.

Regarding this question, Ancelotti did not hesitate, and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Yes, we are four goals behind and we really have no choice but to attack.

We have to get into shape immediately after the game starts, we don't have much time to waste, we have to play our own style at the Etihad Stadium!

I like to play Thomas Müller as a shadow striker.

In the last game, Robben found a good space, but he was really unlucky.

We had a lot of chances against Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga recently, but I didn't expect that we would have many good chances against Manchester City.

The focus of tomorrow is: we want to score as many goals as possible and keep a clean sheet.

We can't concede the ball anymore, the defense has changed! "

The Italians have no intention of hiding their intentions to play against each other.

It's all in this situation now, Bayern has no other way to go except offense, even if they say they want to defend and counterattack, Guardiola will not believe it!

Just have a great time at the Etihad Stadium and Manchester City to fight against each other!
I have been coaching Bayern for more than half a season, and Ancelotti has a clear idea of ​​what this team looks like.

To be honest, if Bayern had the upper hand in the opening battle, as a super player in disrupting battles and downwind massacres, Bayern might really overturn the game in one go!

After the Italian coach took over Bayern last year, he originally wanted to make a career, but who knew it would develop into what it is now.

In the 22 season, Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid collapsed directly due to injuries in the middle and late seasons. After winning [-] consecutive victories, all four teams were empty.

Let Ancelotti, who just helped Real Madrid win the tenth Champions League last season, also had to resign in the face of tremendous pressure.

It just so happened that Bayern fired Guardiola. Faced with the invitation of the Bundesliga giants, Ancelotti, who was unemployed in Spain, packed his bags and came to Munich to take a job.

More than half a year has passed, and Ancelotti's coaching journey at Bayern can be described as smooth sailing.
There is no challenger like Wolfsburg this season. Bayern can be said to be unstoppable in Germany. Except for Borussia Borussia who can cause him some trouble, the others can be said to be playing with their eyes closed.

Ancelotti also knows in his heart that the two domestic champions are their own products for Bayern, and they cannot tolerate outsiders.

Losing these two championships is a serious crime, and winning has nothing to do with him.

If I want to coach Bayern for a long time, the only way out is to win glory for Bayern in the Champions League.

In the beginning, the group leader, who was smooth and smooth, qualified, but was knocked to death by his predecessor on the beach as soon as he reached the knockout round. Faced with such a situation, where is Ancelotti going to reason.

The Italian knows in his heart that if Bayern are eliminated in the round of [-], he will have to find a new job this summer.

This is definitely not good news for Ancelotti. As a world-class coach, if he is dismissed by different giants for two consecutive years, it will definitely be a huge blow to the Italian's reputation!
If he can't continue working at Bayern this year, it will be difficult for Ancelotti to find a job as a coach at a wealthy club!

In order to keep his job, Ancelotti, a master tactician, racked his brains for the second round, but even if the Italian wanted to break his scalp, he couldn't think of any way to make up for the huge current situation. Strength gap and backwardness.

"Last question, sir, what do you think of your predecessor Guardiola? Do you think your Bayern is different from when he was in charge?"

Guardiola, Ancelotti feels his scalp tingle when he hears this name now.

As a tactician, what the Italian hates the most is to face off against another tactician, especially when the opponent has a huge advantage!
"Pep spent two years at this club and left his mark, a fantastic manager.

The current Bayern is of course different from when he was there. I rely on my own model to make adjustments to the team that better meet my tactical needs.

It's important that I don't try to imitate him or fear that I won't be able to perform such a task.

I love this job and am grateful to be working at a club of this level.

Now I want to leave my mark.

This can only be done with the players and all the staff. "

In his answer, Ancelotti expressed his determination to stay, but he knows everything depends on the game tomorrow night.

That will determine his fate in Bayern, whether to stay or go, Ancelotti, who was somewhat pessimistic, left the pre-match press conference with a frown,
He was still in a hurry to return to the hotel for the final tactical deduction. Although he didn't know if it would be useful, Ancelotti didn't want to give up as long as there was a chance.

Time is passing by quickly, and the frenzied atmosphere brought by football is gradually fermenting in the city of Manchester.

On the night of the match day, the Etihad Stadium became the center of the whole city, and the fans of Blue Moon turned the whole stadium into a blue ocean,

The Bayern fans traveling with the team were squeezed in the corner of the stadium. Before the game started, there was a small conflict between the fans of the two teams because of cheering.

Although there was no action, the scolding battle between the fans of the two sides was endless, and the atmosphere of the whole stadium became more and more heated.

Tonight's game is about to start, and Guardiola, who is sitting in the locker room, is still tirelessly instilling his tactical intentions into the players:

"Bayern will definitely attack, they will press hard against us, press aggressively.

I ask you to enter a state of concentration before the game starts. I need you to concentrate on defending and playing the ball. You must not give Bayern a chance to start.

When the players in the midfield are counter-pressing, they must pay attention to the space left behind them!
On the offensive end, we have to see the performance of several forwards.

Zhao, you are still our main attack point today, and you will resolutely go deep after seeing the opportunity!

Our offense today will be mainly based on counterattacks, and we need to rely on the personal abilities of the midfielders to complete the offense. Give the ball to Zhao, he is our most stable link! "

Looking at his players who listened carefully, Guardiola also had a reassurance in his heart. Compared with Bayern Munich, who was struggling with his teachers, Manchester City's main players have been resting for more than a week!
Facing a strong opponent at home in this campaign, Guardiola has made full preparations in advance. Even the main rotation of Gundogan, David Silva, Fernandinho, etc. were all obtained in the league last weekend. took a break,
Mane and Sterling only played half of the game, and the entire team has been adjusted to the best state.

"We don't need to launch a high-intensity frontcourt press in this game, nor can we retreat deep to protect the penalty area and let Bayern Munich attack.

Instead, they put on a "median oppression" posture, hoping to highlight their own advantage in the number of midfielders, cut off Bayern's third-line connection, and shorten the sprint distance of strikers such as Zhao Jinge.

In the out-of-ball phase, you can make a lot of backcourt passes, and the midfielders can rely on the forwards to attract the forward ball from the defense.

The frequency of strikers receiving the ball from behind does not need to be too high. I need you to keep an eye on the loopholes in Bayern's defense. Their defense will definitely not change much from last time. This will bring us a killing blow. Chances of a dead match!

Do a good job of defending, pressing properly, counterattacking smartly, and relying on the personal strength of our star players to solve the game one-on-one. I hope each of you will remember these points! "

Guardiola had his final words in the dressing room before the players set off for the tunnel:

"Today is a few days away against Manchester United, which is a season finale for us!

Against one of the best teams in Europe so far and I hope Manchester is blue today and in the days to come.

I hope all of you understand the importance of these two games.

Because we need that incredible support and belief from the first minute to the last!

We know which opponent we are facing, and we will go all out until the moment the dust settles! "
