Chapter 510 Guardiola's Change

Bayern arrived in Southampton on April 26, rested in Southampton for a day, and then prepared for the game on the 28th.

Like Southampton, they have basically won the league in advance. Now that the Bundesliga has played 31 rounds, Bayern's points have reached 81 points, and Dortmund has only 74 points. With three rounds left in the league, seven points The advantage is already scary enough.

In fact, if Dortmund were not tenacious enough, then Bayern would not have won the championship ahead of time-the third-ranked Leverkusen only has 54 points, and they are 4 points behind Dortmund. Five points ahead of No.[-] Hertha Berlin...

The Bundesliga is now Bayern's best. Dortmund can still struggle a few times, so that Bayern will not win the championship too early. As for the other teams, they are basically fighting for No.3.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for Guardiola to be criticized. It is normal to take Bayern and win the league championship, but if he fails to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, it is a failure.

Guardiola doesn't care about this. His current achievements allow him to be a little willful, and coaching at Bayern is a way for him to test his new tactics and strengthen his tactics.

However, he has not even entered the Champions League final for three consecutive years, which still makes Guardiola a little embarrassed. After all, before he took office, Bayern had just won a Champions League championship and also scored twice in the previous three seasons. In the final of the Champions Cup, such a result can be called top-notch, but after he took office, the overall Champions Cup result began to decline, which is a bit unreasonable.

So Guardiola still attaches great importance to reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League this time.

As soon as he pays attention, he likes to make troubles in lineup and tactics.

It's no secret anymore.

"Bayern are very strong now...especially their attack line. Although Robben is injured and unable to play, they still have good players like Ribery, Koeman and Costa on the wing. Wan and Muller, it's a headache to guess what they're going to start."

Ji Ya said in the conference room that the coaches are also scratching their heads. Indeed, just like last season, it is actually difficult to guess Southampton's starting lineup. After all, Perisic and Vardy can play the main force. They played no less than Suarez and Mane. Under such circumstances, Southampton's lineup changes can take advantage of a lot.

And this season, Southampton's lineup has stabilized a lot. On the contrary, Bayern's lineup has almost reached its peak.

"No matter how he changes, the tactics will not change much. What we have to do is to compete with them in the midfield to control the ball, and then hit behind them when we have the opportunity! Their defense should not change much, right Lahm, Alaba on the left, central defenders Martinez and Benatia... the midfielder Alonso will definitely start, the other two positions will be occupied by Vidal, and the other will be Thiago or Muller. It is not easy to say, but there are also Maybe Gotze, if Thiago plays, then Bayern will pay more attention to the possession of the midfield, if the other two play, then Bayern will pay more attention to direct attack, that's the difference."

After discussion, it seems inevitable to fight Bayern for possession of the ball.

However, in Ji Ya's view, Southampton's current defense is better than Bayern's. Although Bayern has a good goalkeeper, among their central defenders, Martinez is not a full-time central defender after all, and he is not brave enough. Benatti Ya is an excellent central defender, but in terms of confrontation and reaction, he is still slightly inferior, not particularly top.

Attacking their defense from both ribs should have good results.

But when Ji Ya got Bayern's starting lineup, he was a little silent.

It's rare that he guessed wrong about Bayern's starting lineup...

On the wing, Guardiola actually put the core Ribery on the bench, let Koeman and Costa start, and Thiago in the midfield is nothing, the most surprising thing It was the defensive line, he let Alaba serve as a central defender, while Bernat started as a left back.

The Spanish player has been reduced to a substitute this season.

"This guy really wants to control the ball to the limit, but it's no wonder, away from home, if he controls the ball well, it will be easier to confront us, reduce the possibility of losing the ball in the away game, and then put the decisive battle on his own home court, but he didn't think about it, are we used to such a situation?"

Ji Ya got Bayern's starter on the bus to the stadium, and then he sneered, letting the players see his emotions.

In fact, he would definitely not despise Guardiola like this in his heart, but at this time, he must despise Guardiola in order to make the morale of the players more stable.

"Their starting like this is to give up the advantage. I was worried about their offense. Now it seems that they are holding the ball firmly and hitting behind quickly. This kind of tactic is easy to deal with. As long as we surpass them in possession, then We will surely win!"

Ji Ya waved his fists in the locker room and shouted, and the players also waved their fists. To be honest, because De Bruyne has gradually become a core player in the past two years, Southampton's ball possession tactics can be said to be quite good. Top level, after Harvey gets old, even Barcelona can't compare with Southampton, which is getting better and better in possession of the ball.

Although Arsenal is a gorgeous stream, but because their strength is still slightly inferior, they cannot be compared with Southampton.

The other giants have their own strengths, but in this regard, it seems that only Bayern led by Guardiola can still compete with Southampton!

Although it sounds like Bayern has nothing to do with technology and ball possession tactics, in fact, as Loew learned and promoted ball possession tactics in the German national team, and Guardiola took over Bayern, the entire Bayern style has long been established. The earth-shaking changes, he once asked Lahm to play the midfielder, introduced technical players, and cultivated the skills of the players in training, which changed Bayern to a large extent.

In this game, Ji Ya himself adjusted slightly. Coutinho, who had returned to the main position before, continued to be a substitute, and Gundogan started. Ji Ya sent such a midfield combination for the purpose of controlling the ball.

When the players from both sides played, the Southampton fans began to cheer wildly. They knew one thing clearly. Bayern was the last obstacle for Southampton to enter the final. Since Southampton had won the Champions League defense before, then Why not continue to perform better and have a triple crown plus three consecutive Champions League titles?

Doing this is an unprecedented feat!
