Chapter 673 Genius Strike
"The current situation is quite unfavorable to Barcelona."
"After the start of the second half, Bayern Munich launched a fierce attack, and Barcelona was forced to retreat step by step."
"It should be said that Gao Han's adjustments are always surprising. We can all guess that he is going to counterattack, but we can never guess that he will put such amazing strength on the offensive end, and the overall formation is very forward."
On the sidelines, Guardiola was so angry that he shouted at the players on the court. He could vaguely hear him shouting. I have reminded you to pay attention to Lucio, why did he still miss him?
But in fact, looking at the entire Barcelona team, whether it is Puyol, Pique and Abidal, they are indeed not as threatening as Lucio in terms of headings, and this is not the first time that the Brazilian central defender has grabbed the corner kick in this game.
From leading one to zero to falling behind one to two, Barcelona has faced a real test.
But in the visiting team coaching area, Gao Han was applauding hard, calling on the players, signaling them to continue to increase their offense.
"Gao Han looks very satisfied with the start of the second half and is still asking the players to maintain a pressing offensive posture."
"But Barcelona is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Let's see what adjustments Guardiola will make now."
Since Bayern Munich did not celebrate the goal, all the players quickly returned to the stadium under Gao Han's shouting, so the referee quickly signaled that the game could start again.
…………
…………
In the stands, many famous European coaches were shocked.
As the commentator said, all of them expected Gao Han to counterattack, and believed that Guardiola must have been guarding against this move, but they absolutely did not expect that Bayern Munich's counterattack would be so resolute and fierce.
"It should be the first half game that gave Gao Han confidence and made him determined to do this." Ferguson speculated.
Throughout the first half, Bayern Munich's restrictions on Barcelona were still very adequate, especially against the three midfielders.
It can be said that although Barcelona has a high ball possession rate, there are few truly threatening attacks.
The midfield and backcourt are out of touch with the frontcourt, and the ball cannot advance to the opponent's 30-meter area. How to form a threatening attack?
Although they are all famous coaches, they are all sitting in the stands. As bystanders, they do not directly understand Gao Han’s abacus and ideas, nor can they personally experience Gao Han’s understanding of the game. They can only make the bystanders’ inferences.
"Look, after the reversal, he is still attacking." Heinx shook his head and sighed.
After the game restarted, Barcelona quickly passed the ball to the backcourt and wanted to stabilize the position, but Bayern Munich pushed forward and launched a counterattack as soon as possible, with the momentum of taking away the opponent's opponent in one go.
The result was that Barcelona made a mistake in passing and receiving the ball under Bayern Munich's high pressure press.
The ball fell to Bayern Munich's feet.
As soon as the Bundesliga giants got the ball, they started to counterattack immediately and had no chance to pass and reorganize again.
One fast and one slow, Bayern Munich is very skillful in controlling the rhythm.
"Schweinsteiger has been a season of training and has become more like a drag-back midfielder. Modric's performance has also left a deep impression. The combination of these two is really amazing." Ancelotti praised sincerely.
"I think Gao Han's eyesight in poaching people and cultivating players is more admirable." Ferguson smiled.
Rather than saying that Schweinsteiger and Modric have excellent strength, which has created the situation in Bayern Munich, it is better to say that Gao Han is aware of people and fully tap their potential.
What role did Schweinsteiger have before Gao Han coached Bayern Munich?
A player who can't even play as a main player in the first team plays as a full-time forward, saying that he is both offensive and defensive, but in fact he is very mediocre. Apart from diligence, he has no other highlights. If he continues to develop, he is just an ordinary and practical qualified player.
But when he arrived under Gao Han's command, he retreated, but in one fell swoop he had the potential to drag the organizer.
In the same situation, Modric, who has been famous in Croatia for a long time, but why don’t the teams in the four major leagues dare to poach him?
Isn't it because he is young that he hasn't proved himself?
But what about now?
He established himself as the core of Bayern Munich's main midfielder in one season and shined in the European Cup in the summer. Now he is not inferior to Barcelona, facing top midfielders like Xavi and Iniesta.
Apart from them, Vidal, Hummels, Marcelo, and even Ribery, Robben and Aguero, aren't it all?
Rather than saying that this group of players made Gao Han, it is better to say that Gao Han’s knowledge of people, which made them and themselves.
"What Guardiola needs to do most now is to hold on, hold on for a period of time, and hold on for at most twenty minutes. After scrambling, Bayern Munich's physical fitness will decline, and Barcelona's chance will come."
Ferguson sighed, "But if you can't hold on, then this game will be dead."
Everyone present felt silent.
In fact, they all hope to see Guardiola win because they are more curious about what Gao Han will look like if he loses the ball. This will definitely be the front page headline of all media around the world tomorrow, and the limelight may even overshadow major current political news.
After thinking about the title, Gao Han, who was invincible, finally lost the game!
Look, how attractive!
If they had such thoughts before the end of the first half, then now they have clearly realized that the probability is constantly declining, especially Guardiola is obviously hesitant when adjusting on the spot.
He actually planned not to retreat and directly faced Bayern Munich.
Fighting against Gao Han who was so crazy?
This is definitely a crazy act of suicide.
…………
…………
Abidal has always been a calm person, so from the beginning of the game, he has firmly performed the task given to him by head coach Guardiola and frozen Robben.
In fact, he has done well until now.
But gradually, he felt the emotions of his teammates around him changing.
The sign was that the ball was passed back in the midfield. Pique received the ball, and Puyol shouted from the side, holding it first, don't worry.
But Pique looked at Henry in the frontcourt and passed the ball directly to the frontcourt with a big foot.
As a result, the ball was pushed back to the midfield by Lucio and fell to Bayern Munich's feet.
Abidal vaguely heard it, and Pique cursed angrily and started to join the competition again.
Pique was anxious.
Not only Pique, but many players around him were anxious.
It is not a good phenomenon that you want to pass the game forward as soon as you have the chance.
Especially when Abidal saw that the ball was passed back to the goal, Valdes stopped the ball with his feet and kept signaling his teammates to press it up. It felt like Barcelona was one goal behind in stoppage time in the Champions League final.
Oh my God, it's only been over fifty minutes now, okay?
Abidal looked at the sidelines. Guardiola was discussing something with his assistant Biranova, looking at the stadium from time to time, but it seemed that he had no intention of substitution, which made Abidal feel bad.
"Be careful, left." Puyol shouted.
Abidal immediately came to his senses and saw the ball drew an arc from the right side of his side and landed on the left side.
Robben was close to the left line. Without defending, he stopped the ball with his chest and dribbled the ball into the penalty area as soon as possible. This was a time when Barcelona conceded the ball and was counterattacked after an attack.
The French left-back chose the safest way, stuck at the corner of the penalty area, dealing with Robben at any time, and made sufficient plans in his mind. Whether Robben fell down or cut inside, he could keep up.
The Dutchman is getting closer and closer, so close that Abidal can already hear the sound of his left heel contacting the ball. Every time he touches the ball, Robben is making confusing fake moves, making Abidal unable to tell the specific intentions.
Should I pass on it or continue to work alone?
Who should I pass it to? Do I need to cut it in the bottom or cut it inward?
Abidal's mind flashed countless thoughts, and all of this completely failed the moment Robben entered his defense zone.
At that moment, Robben obviously accelerated and his movement frequency became faster. First, a fake move that made a gesture to spike the ball to the bottom line was quite realistic. Even though Abidal was prepared in his heart and even suspected that he was deliberately confused, at that moment, the French left-back, as a defensive player, subconsciously shifted the center of gravity.
But as soon as Abidal moved, Robben suddenly stopped and changed from the original bottom to the incision.
Just this is a very simple action, but it makes people unable to defend against it.
Abidal reacted immediately and turned around to chase him. Busquets also returned to the penalty area as soon as possible, blocking Robben's path to continue cutting inside.
But just as Robben approached Busquets, his body suddenly stopped again, and his whole body changed direction again. He pushed the ball out with his left foot, avoided Busquets' blockage, took a step forward, and shot directly with his left foot.
This is a strong rotation arc ball, which hits the lower left corner of the goal.
Valdes judged the right direction and flew towards the ball, but what he didn't expect was that the ball had a very obvious rebound, which made Valdes' save useless, and could only watch the ball enter the net.
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!"
As the commentator's long score, Robben quickly turned around and rushed out of the penalty area, and threw away all the teammates who wanted to stop him along the way, rushed to the front of the visiting team's coaching seat, and slid down before leaving the court.
The whole person opened his arms and slid to head coach Gao Han, hugged Gao Han's legs hard, but kept shouting loudly in his mouth. The sound of the scene was surging, and countless people were shouting Robben's name. No one could hear clearly what he was calling.
"God, look at Robben's goal, he played with two Barcelona defensive players alone."
"Abidal and Busquets were like two wooden stakes, and were cleanly given by Robben."
"This is an amazing goal. Ribery's long-distance transfer from the left was just right. Robben's subsequent series of actions were particularly impressive. The final genius hit even expanded the score for Bayern Munich."
"Three to one, Bayern Munich scored two goals in less than nine minutes in the second half to reverse the score."
"It seems that this game has been decided."
The moment Guardiola saw Robben score, he looked up and sighed.
What else can he say about such a ball?
Gao Han was excitedly touching Robben's bare head and laughing loudly.
As early as the moment Robben received the ball, he knew that there was a chance this time. Even if Robben didn't hit the ball by himself, he could assist Aguero or Ribery with the help of the assault card, and even Vidal who was inserted into the ball to score.
The moment he broke through Abidal and dunked Busquets, Barcelona's defense had fallen apart.
But the score of 3-1 is obviously not enough to guarantee Bayern Munich's victory.
He knows Guardiola.
The Barcelona coach is definitely not someone who will be easily knocked down.
