I am the king of football

Chapter 437 A Different Dance

"In this game, both teams had the same formation but completely different cores in the midfield. Carrick, the attacking midfielder for Manchester United, was responsible for organizing the team's possession and offense. On the Bayern side, Kroos, one of the two defensive midfielders, was the real metronome for the Southern King."

The game gradually entered a tense period, and Zhan Jun had time to further analyze the playing styles of both sides. In his opinion, the tactics of Manchester United and Bayern are essentially very different.

"In terms of offense, Mandzukic's role is very different from Qin Hu's. He is the team's feint player. Bayern's real killer lies in Muller and his three players behind him. For Manchester United, Qin Hu is the most threatening player on the team, needless to say."

These things cannot be seen just by looking at the team's starting lineup. They can only be understood after the battle between the two sides begins and they try again and again.

The situation where the two sides have the same formation but completely different playing styles just reflects the ever-changing football tactics, because both Bayern and Manchester United can score very exciting goals and achieve good results using their own playing styles.

After more than ten minutes, the probing between the two sides ended completely. Not satisfied with the score of 1-1, they once again began to try to break through the opponent's goal on the court.

However, this time, the defenses of both sides, who had lost a player due to poor defense, showed extremely high tactical qualities. From the moment Fletcher stopped advancing and stayed in his own half to assist in his defense, Rafael did not give Robben any chance to successfully cut inside.

As for Alaba, the young defender performed very steadily after being encouraged by his coach. No matter how Van Persie kept rushing up, down, left and right, the Bayern star did not give him any chance to attack.

It seems that the way of attacking from the right side has encountered obstacles for both teams. Without much explanation from their coaches, the routes passed by the players of both teams on the field began to change quietly.

"The ball was once again passed to Ribery on the left, and Bayern, who had previously focused on the right, began to try to create a threat from the left."

Ribery and Robben are players with completely different styles. This player with a tough personality and aggressive face made a very decisive choice after getting the ball. He pushed the ball along the sidelines and followed suit.

"Ribery tried to force a breakthrough, and he and Evra were entangled directly together. Ha! Although he doesn't look as strong as Evra, Ribery is not inferior to Evra in the confrontation~"

"The King! The King! The King!"

Bayern fans in the stands immediately burst into huge cheers. At this moment, the time had entered the 35th minute and there was not much time left in the first half. If the team could score a goal, they would enter the second half of the game with a leading advantage.

"Shh!"

On the field, as if he had received tremendous support from his own fans, Ribery finally won the direct battle with Evra. He passed the ball diagonally and entered the penalty area with a half-body advantage over his opponent.

"Phil Jones moved quickly to block Ribery's path and his positioning was excellent. He could either shoot directly or pass the ball. The opponent's striker no longer had any other options."

"Shu~"

When Phil Jones used his big body to block the path in front of Ribery, Ribery chose to pass the ball without hesitation. The ball was passed to Mandzukic who was moving forward under the interference of Vidic.

"Mandzukic faces the ball and shoots directly!!!" "Bang!"

There was a dull thud. This time, Manchester United's veteran defender and captain Vidic did not disappoint his fans. He stretched out his right leg to block the ball shot by the opponent and directed it away from the goal.

"The shot didn't work, Manchester United's defense was very timely and Bayern got a corner kick opportunity."

As shots from open play were ineffective, Bayern had to start trying to attack from set pieces. However, for this team that relies on two wingers, they really don't have many good headers in their lineup.

Apart from Mandzukic fighting in the penalty area, only Javi Martinez could still give people some deterrence. As for Ribery, although this player looks fierce and has a tough style, his height is a flaw. He is only 170 cm tall and he and Robben did not enter the penalty area at all.

In this case, there is no need to say much about the outcome of Bayern's corner attack. The ball was buried by Manchester United's tall defenders when Muller kicked it into the penalty area. Mandzukic didn't even touch the ball, and the ball was headed out by Phil Jones.

"Beautiful corner defense. Manchester United has a great advantage in set-piece defense. The average height of their team is much higher than that of Bayern."

Zhan Jun saw the advantage of Manchester United, and Ferguson on the sidelines naturally could not fail to see it. He held his chin and thought for a while before coming up with an idea.

After another round of scramble for the cleared ball, Carrick finally kicked the ball out of the sideline amid the pressure from Muller and Javi Martinez.

While the opposing player went to pick up the ball, Ferguson called Giggs, who was closest to him, and whispered in the player's ear for a while. As Giggs returned to the field and communicated with his teammates, Heynckes' eyelids began to twitch on the sidelines.

"Bayern threw a throw-in, Muller got the ball behind Carrick, who kept pushing his opponent, and Muller had difficulty keeping his balance. He barely passed the ball back to Kroos who came to receive it. Kroos kicked the ball out. Is he going to launch a quick counterattack again?"

"Oh!"

On Bayern's left side, when Ribery turned his back to receive the ball, a shadow flew over his head, and Evra jumped high and accurately hit the falling ball.

"A header clearance, beautiful! The ball was headed to his own midfielder position, Giggs received the ball and turned his horse forward. Bayern's counterattack did not take place after all, and Javi Martinez rushed towards Giggs!"

"Shu~"

"The ball was lifted up, Giggs made a short pass to Qin Hu who was standing in the midfield with his back to the goal. Qin Hu headed the ball back diagonally and passed it to Rooney, also with a header. Hehe, Manchester United played a high-altitude pass in the heart of Bayern's midfield~"

Suddenly, as the Manchester United players joined in the header relay, their movements and steps became a different kind of dance.

Then, when Boateng, who was good at heading in Bayern's defense, had to choose to attack and prepare to compete with Qin Hu, who repeatedly became the center of the Red Devils' headers, the Red Devils finally showed their true colors!
