93 Offside
"Matus launched an attack from the backcourt. He dribbled the ball forward. Kaiserslautern did not retreat, but organized a defense in the midfield. The frontcourt players launched a counter-attack on the spot. Mattus was disturbed by Fanny and immediately transferred the ball to the right!"
"Sauer stopped the ball steadily, Nedved immediately, and Denilson in front was also actively retreating, but Saul has strong ability to protect the ball, protect the ball and knock in the middle. Zickler, who started in this game, got the ball and went straight to Kaiserslautern's defense."
"Zickler dribbled the ball very fast... Bremer, who was responsible for guarding him, did not hesitate and chose to move forward decisively... Zickler accelerated and passed by. Zickler used his speed to pass Bremer..."
"Sebastian Kyle came out from the diagonal spear. Before Zickle was about to enter the penalty area, he calmly put the ball and destroyed the ball. Nedved, who was retreating, quickly cleared the ball with his big feet!"
"The ball fell to Bayern's feet again, and Saul slowed down the offensive on the left and organized the attack..."
Yang Cheng and Paul Bayer are still standing on the sidelines and watching the game as usual. This has become Yang Cheng's signature move. Whether it is a fan or a player, you can see the Chinese as soon as you look at the sidelines.
"Andres is still old and his physical function is no longer as good as before. He obviously cannot keep up with Zickler's rhythm and speed!" Paul Bayer sighed. Bremer was undoubtedly a very outstanding player. He was still strong, but he was not young anymore. It was indeed a bit of a risky move to make him play in such a critical game.
But Yang Cheng doesn't think so. At least in his opinion, only Bremer and others can understand how meaningful it is to this team to win Bayern at this stadium and win the first trophy after returning to the Bundesliga this season.
Although, under the premise of lack of strength, the spiritual will is a castle in the air, Yang Cheng knew very well that in terms of strength, this team, Kaiserslautern, currently has the strength to play against Bayern, and with its tactical advantages, if spiritual encouragement and incitement can be added, he will be more confident in this game.
Yang Cheng patted Paul Bayer on the shoulder and signaled him not to be too anxious. He seized an opportunity and took advantage of Bremer's approach, Yang Cheng came to the sidelines.
"Hey, Andres, have you noticed Chickel?" Yang Cheng asked.
Bremer shook his head vigorously. The game lasted less than 10 minutes, but he looked very tired because Bayern focused on his side to destroy the veteran.
"His skills are very average. The stop shot that Shaoer gave him just now almost stopped. Have you noticed?" Yang Cheng louder his voice, otherwise the other party would not hear it in such a noisy stadium.
When Bremer thought, it seemed like this was true, and he trusted his head coach very much, and immediately nodded.
"Don't make moves easily. His speed is faster than you and his body is more flexible than you, but his skills are average. Do you know how to do it?" Yang Cheng smiled and patted Bremer on the shoulder and encouraged.
Bremer squeezed out a smile. He was experienced. If he didn't know how to face such an opponent, his career would be in vain. It would be impossible for him to be called the German troika with Klinsmann and Mattus.
Back on the field, Bremer began to calm down and paid attention to Zickler's performance.
Since Bayern focused on attacking the left side guarded by Bremer, that is, Bayern's right side, Zickler and Bremer became a confrontation between the top and the top against the Misman.
The ball quickly passed to Zickler's feet again, but this time Bremer did not make a rash move, but kept a proper distance, allowing Zickler to turn around after receiving the ball, but when he was about to create some space so that he could sprint and kill Bremer directly, he accidentally stopped the ball.
Of course, Bremer would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He just poked the ball and then passed it off from the left.
"Beautiful tackle, Barack defeated Harman and stopped the ball, knocked back against Bell without waiting for the ball to land. The latter pushed it to the right and Schneider took the ball..."
Yang Cheng saw Schneider pausing clearly on the sidelines and immediately shook his head, "Baind is still a little slower!"
Paul Bayer also thought it was because the ball was obviously slowing down by at least a beat. Although he then stuffed it into the penalty area, Mattus had already arrived in time and cleared the ball, wasted an offensive opportunity.
It’s not that Schneider can create murderous intent by passing the ball directly, but when the players around him are almost ready, Schneider’s slowness seems to be very out of place, dragging down the team as a whole.
But Schneider is still very strong. At least he still created opportunities against Tanat, but Fanny did not squeeze out Helmer and Mattus.
"You must pay attention to this when you go back, and it will not be possible to not correct it!" Yang Cheng reminded.
In his tactics, although the winger player has undertaken the task of drilling through the wing defense, unless he can directly pass through the defense line, the ball is basically required not to stick to his feet. Even an outstanding dribbling expert like Denilson, Yang Cheng asked him to minimize the number of dribbling balls.
In other words, once the ball reaches the hinterland at the front of the opponent's penalty area, you must be quick, try to pass the ball with one pass, mobilize the opponent's defense, force the opponent to reveal a flaw, and then use it to score the goal.
Schneider had enough technical skills to accomplish this, but he hadn't had this habit before, so it was a bit slow.
This is not very obvious when playing against Stuttgart, because Lov's team is not as defensive as Bayern. In addition to the defense line, Strenz and Harman are both important parts of the defensive system. Moreover, the reinforced concrete-style defense brought by Trapatoni from Italy is even more difficult to suppress the defensive space of the team in the half-court, so Schneider's shortcomings were exposed.
"It seems that if you have the chance, you really need to study chain defense!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Many people think chain defense is a defensive system, but this is actually wrong. Chain defense should be said to be a set of tactical concepts, but this concept has been eliminated now. Even if the Italian team pays attention to defense, it is actually not chain defense, but a version 20 that has been improved on the basis of chain defense.
For example, Saki pioneered the regional joint defense tactic, which was improved on the basis of chain defense, avoiding the disadvantage that people are prone to losing positions when chain defense are easy to get out of place, but it absorbs the essence of chain defense, such as position utilization and space compression, and even now, these are still profoundly affecting Serie A.
"You seem to be very free, let's get Trapatony first!" Paul Baier scolded.
"Just make you happy in suffering!" Yang Cheng replied with a wry smile.
As Bremer reblocked Zickler, Bayern's attack was suppressed.
Yankel faces Kosch directly, both of them are strong players, but Kosch has excellent frontal defense ability. Yankel does not have a little advantage in front of him. Coupled with Kyle's support behind him, the two Bayern strikers have no room to play.
Although Saul and Nellinger both created several crossing opportunities on the wing, Kosch steadily grabbed the first point and destroyed it. Kaiserslautern has always focused on the second point of competition, so Bayern seems to be at a disadvantage in this.
The competition in the midfield is very fierce, but Kaiserslautern is more integrity and has better control. The entire midfielder is steadily overwhelming Bayern, but the central-forward combination composed of Stratlentz and Harman is not a vegetarian. In addition, Helmer behind him and Mattus with a high degree of freedom, Kaiserslautern's offense is difficult to work.
On the scene, the competition between the two sides was very fierce, and Kaiserslautern was not at a disadvantage at all. Even from the offensive strength, Kaiserslautern had the upper hand, but Bayern Munich's defensive counterattack was also very stable, and no one could take advantage.
The players fought desperately on the court, Yang Cheng stared at the sidelines, and Trapatoni was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. The whole scene seemed very harmonious, but it was ups and downs in secret, as if a variable could lead to the tilt of the victory.
Time passed minute by minute, Kaiserslautern was still taking the initiative, while Bayern Munich fought for nothing and did not give in. The two teams were very tenacious in the game and were unwilling to lose.
Yang Cheng looked at the time, "It's been 35 minutes!"
Paul Baier smiled bitterly. Although it was only 35 minutes, the suffering of waiting actually made every minute of these 35 minutes as long as a day.
"Paul, whether as a head coach or a coach, you must be able to endure your temperament and loneliness!" Yang Cheng advised.
With 90 minutes of a game, it is impossible for every minute to climax, because no team can maintain a fast pace of 90 minutes. At best, it is very amazing to have 30 minutes faster. Therefore, you can see that many teams played fantastic good goals in the first half and completely withered in the second half.
The reason is very simple, physical fitness can't keep up!
Therefore, as a head coach, you must have enough patience. Even in the stalemate stage, you must analyze every detail that happens on the court, because any detail can rewrite the results of the game.
Yang Cheng waited for a while, then came to the sidelines and made a gesture to Sebastian Kyle.
This is a variable that Yang Cheng prepared before the game, and it is also the reason why he thinks Kyle is most suitable to be a center-center-back. It is because in addition to his outstanding defense, he has good consciousness and skills, and can be inserted in the back row at critical moments.
Sure enough, with Yang Cheng's adjustment, Kaiserslautern's tactics changed slightly, and the midfield pressed even more. When Kyle was in control of the ball, he immediately came to the team's midfielder position and area. Bremer and Kosch retracted a little in the middle, while Nedved and Gattuso paid attention to supporting and protecting the wings.
However, Kyle's front pressure immediately made Peron press forward, and Kaiserslautern's midfield and frontcourt immediately followed the front pressure, forming a more threatening pressure on Bayern, because Fanny, Denilson and Schneider all began to stick to the opponent's defense line.
This is an adventurous gambling adjustment. If the game was not about to end, Yang Cheng would not have taken such a risk, because he knew that this way of playing football could not last long. As long as he was survived by Bayern and fought back, Kaiserslautern would be in danger.
However, the advantage of front pressure is that the space in the midfield is smaller, and Kaiserslautern is undoubtedly more adaptable to the passing and cooperation in this small space than Bayern. In addition, Denilsen and Schneider both leaned towards the middle, and through active unball running, Kaiserslautern's offensive suddenly became fierce, but Bayern still refused to give in and refused to retreat.
This is the opportunity for Kaiserslautern!
In the 41st minute, Kyle headed Bayern's long pass from the backcourt in advance. Peron took the ball with his back, and behind him was Stranz who was pressing forward. After seeing him get away with a smooth break when he stopped the ball, the ball avoided Stranz from his feet and came directly to Schneider's feet.
When Schneider faced Tanat, he decisively chose to dribble the ball horizontally, while Barack, Denilson and Van Nie in front were like three sharp arrows that were approaching Bayern's defense line.
Facing Schneider's crosscut, Tanat and Mattus were obviously not tacit enough and hesitated a little. Then Mattus immediately grabbed it, but at this moment, Schneider passed the ball out in advance.
Fanny faced Helmer. When Schneider passed the ball, he obviously paused, then accelerated over the opponent, forming a beautiful counter-offside, and went deep into the penalty area and shot directly.
The ball rolled into the goal from the right side of Kahn who was attacking!
After Fanny took a kick, he suddenly felt intuition in his heart. He knew that this kick must have been there, and he was excited to start to run to his teammates to celebrate.
Yang Cheng on the sidelines jumped high excitedly, and then hugged Paul Bayer beside him!
But at this moment, the referee's whistle came late, and then he saw the lineman raise the flag without any doubt, signaling that Kaiserslautern's goal was offside!
Suddenly, everyone on the stadium was stunned. Trapatoni, who was originally disappointed, was also stunned, followed by a surprise on his face.
"Offside?" Yang Cheng ran to the border office excitedly and shouted.
The lineman nodded politely and calmly, "Yes, sir, offside, Denilson!"
Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment. Everything that happened just now was changing rapidly. He didn't notice whether Denilson was offside.
Well, even if he was really offside, "but he was not involved in the offense..."
As soon as these words were said, even Yang Cheng felt cowardly!
The modification of the offside rule should be in 2003. Since then, players who do not directly participate in the offside will not be included in the offside, but now, players can only be on par with the opponent's second-to-last player, that is, the last defensive player except the goalkeeper, which is still the 1990 rule.
According to the linebacker, Denilson started too early just now, resulting in his position being a little higher than Helmer. Although he did not directly participate in the offense, Fanny's goal was still invalid.
"I ctmd!" Yang Cheng cursed in his heart as he walked back.
I finally scored a goal but was sentenced to invalid. Although it was due to the rules, it still made people feel depressed.
The first goal was invalid, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on Kaiserslautern in this game.
"The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and Kaiserslautern had the advantage on the field. They had a ball possession rate of 58 in the first half, Bayern had only 42, and the ratio of the two sides was 11:4. Kaiserslautern undoubtedly had the advantage, and the passing success rate was also Kaiserslautern had the upper hand."
The live commentator immediately started the first half summary just after the game ended.
"Before this game, everyone felt that Bayern should have the advantage in the game, and even slaughtered Kaiserslautern. However, judging from the progress of the game, it seems that this is not the case. Kaiserslautern controlled the game, especially Kaiserslautern's midfield, which almost made Bayern breathless."
"As always, Kaiserslautern's overall tactics are very strict, with smooth passes and coordination, and his tactics are very proactive. Bayern was suppressed a little embarrassed. Kaiserslautern even scored a goal, but was called offside by the referee. Although the penalty is undoubtedly a question, Kaiserslautern's cooperation still made people's eyes shine!"
"Trapatoni should have come up with a tactic of restraining the midfield and front-field oppression during the halftime break. Bayern made too many passes and receiving mistakes in this game, especially in the midfield. Kaiserslautern seized many opportunities to fight back."
"In contrast, Kaiserslautern, Yang Cheng's coaching ability and targeted tactics were fully reflected in this game, which was amazing. Using veteran Bremer was originally considered a defeat, but as the game progressed, we can find that Bremer completely frozen Zickler."
"In Kaiserslautern's most powerful midfield, as Kyle moved forward at the last moment of the game, the formation was pressed more and more, and the overall advantage of the midfield and frontcourt was more obvious. He also created a goal, but he was eventually punished for offside. It was a pity, but Yang Cheng's on-site command was indeed surprising."
"Faced with a top coach like Trapatoni, Yang Cheng is not at all inferior. We have reason to expect the second half of the game, but Bayern's strength is obviously stronger than Kaiserslautern, so Trapatoni may change his moves in the midfield and reverse the current situation."
As the live commentator finished his summary, the live TV broadcast began to have a wonderful replay of the first half, and then entered the advertising stage. The fans on the scene were relieved that they had 15 minutes to do their own things.
However, in the locker room, Yang Cheng and Trapatoni raced against time to analyze the team's gains and losses in the first half, especially Yang Cheng, who was beaten offside in the goal, and he had to let the players avoid this influence, otherwise it would be difficult to play in the second half.
While Yang Cheng was analyzing the first half, the players in the locker room listened carefully, and were also receiving massage from the masseur, racing against time to restore his physical fitness, especially Bremer, who consumed almost all his physical fitness throughout the first half.
