Just listened to the sound of "dang", the post of the WWK Arena successfully blocked the penalty opportunity in Augsburg, which not only calmed the hearts of Bayern fans in the air, but also let Bayern goalkeeper Neuer after the alarm sounded. Finally got a zero seal. However, from crushing opponents across the board in the first half to being passively beaten everywhere in the second half, Bayern’s performance against Augsburg in the first and second half of the two teams is really unacceptable and satisfactory. If Bayern are selected as the best after the game For the best players, perhaps the "post" is more worthy of such an honor.
[Layout: Bayern has only one adjustment, Lucas enters the starting line]
In the league last weekend, Bayern relied on Muller’s outstanding performance to 2-1 against Freiburg , Finally stopped the downturn, and with the help of the invincible performance of various opponents to further consolidate the advantage of the leaderboard. Relatively speaking, Augsburg suffered a two-game losing streak in the league before the game, ranking only 12th in the league. Looking back at the two teams' nearly 5 matches, Bayern seems to be unbeaten with 3 wins and 2 draws, but Ao Borg's toughness makes Bayern always play extremely difficult.
First look at Bayern’s starting arrangement for this campaign. Gnabry returned in time and the team made only one personnel adjustment compared to the previous league. The goalkeeper is still Neuer, Lucas got a starting opportunity, and Pawar, Boateng and Alaba formed the team's back line. In the midfield, Kimmich and Gretzka partnered with double midfielders, Gnabry and Koman separated on both sides, and Muller continued to appear next to center Lewandowski.
Let's look at Augsburg at home. This campaign will be played with a three-centre defender system. The goalkeeper is Lewand’s fellow Gikiewicz, Uduoke, Govilliou and Oxford partnered with three central defenders, and veteran Kali Zuri and Young were wingbacks. In the midfield, Hedira Jr. and Gruesso partnered with double midfielders. Richter was at the center position, with Vargas and Hahn on his sides.
[Oge took the initiative to show weakness in the opening, Lewand’s penalty kick broke the deadlock]
facing the defending champion Bayern,The position of the five guards in Augsburg is very clear, showing that the team took the initiative to retreat in this game. At the same time, unlike Bayern’s previous opponents’ high position pressure, Augsburg’s retreat is very deep, which allows Bayern to easily control the midfield and the ball after the start. Of course, Augsburg is not without ideas. Richter returned to the starting line to replace the traditional center Fenboazson, coupled with the two strong speed-up wingers Hahn and Vargas, which shows that the home team is trying to take advantage of speed to play Threatening offense.
When Augsburg took the initiative to "show weakness", Bayern obviously would not be polite and quickly launched a siege on the offensive end. Among them, the two wingers Koeman and Gnabry may feel the threat from Sane, showing excellent competitive state on the two wings and constantly cross-shifting. At the same time, the range of activities of Mueller and Lewand has also been significantly expanded, thereby increasing the team's wing attack power. So as Bayern took off on both wings, waves of sharp offensives became inevitable.
Not only that, Lucas, who had his first chance in the second half of the league, seemed to be "suffocated" and seemed to be more active on both offense and defense after the opening. Only 12 minutes into the game, Bayern first attacked from the right and failed. Lucas grabbed a two penalty kick and continued to attack on the left. After Gnabry put the ball into the penalty area, Lucas cleverly inserted the penalty area to take the lead. With a move, he let the little Hedira, who had been slow for a while, kicked directly to his feet and fell to the ground. Immediately, Lewandre easily scored a penalty kick and Bayern took the lead.
With a goal, Bayern has since shown a better targeted defense. You know, Bayern has already conceded 11 consecutive league games before this game, only one game short of the worst record in team history, and the team's defenses have been repeatedly hit behind it is the culprit. In this regard, the countermeasures Bayern took in this game is still to make the defensive line retreat in a timely manner, effectively shortening the distance between the defensive line and goalkeeper Neuer, which makes it difficult for opponents to easily find the empty area behind the Bayern defensive line.
Seeing that after the opening, several long passes and slams were unable to find the vacuum of Bayern's defense line, the Augsburg midfielder had to try to advance the ball through ground cooperation, which allowed Bayern to find the high position pressure. Space to play. Especially in the face of Augsburg's wing attack, Lucas steals 3 times and clears 4 blocks.Paval made 4 steals, 3 interceptions and 1 clearance. Two French full-backs contributed super defensive data.
[Bayern was crushing in the first half, Ogg counterattacked across the board after halftime]
The defensive end prevented opponents from finding opportunities to advance, and the offensive end used high-post pressure to play a two-wing advantage. In the first half, Augsburg was suppressed across the board. Looking back at the entire first half, Bayern had a 12-0 crush on the number of shots. The ball possession rate reached 63%, the pass success rate reached 87%, the number of passes was 251-151 leading, and the number of corners was 6-1. Except for Lewand’s penalty goal, the ball was never sent again. The other side's net nest.
Subdivided Bayern’s 12 shots in the first half. In fact, only 3 shots were made. The shooting accuracy was as low as 25%, and the goal conversion rate was only 8.3%. It can be seen that the Polish goalkeeper Gikiwicz of Augsburg seems to have a good save rate, but the lack of shooting skills of Bayern players is the main problem. In addition, half of the team's 12 shots appeared outside the penalty area. While showing off the lack of patience in offensive positions, it did not effectively tear the opponent's dense defense continuously.
With this advantage, Bayern did not expand the score in time in the first half, which naturally laid a huge hidden danger for the trend of the game. After all, Augsburg cannot always be so passive and willing to be beaten, so after halftime, Augsburg replaced the very low-existence Khedira with the midfielder Strobl. Not only did the pass succeed 100% after his debut, he also succeeded in all two passes. More importantly, Augsburg completely upgraded the formation after this substitution and directly chose to counterattack Bayern.
Facing Augsburg's completely different style and fighting spirit in the first and second half, Bayern obviously could not continue to control the ball and organize effectively as in the first half, and even suddenly fell into discomfort because of the thought of underestimating the enemy. In this regard, Bayern once tried to reduce the pace of the game to stabilize the situation, but the positive attitude of Augsburg did not allow Bayern to have a chance to breathe at all. Through the initiative to speed up the front pressure, Bayern's turnover rate suddenly increased and the line of defense was also improved. From then on it began to be like an enemy.
for this,There is a view that Flick's replacement of Lewand with Sane in the 67th minute was the reason for the rise and fall of Bayern, but the turning point was not the case. You know, in the 22 minutes from the start of the second half to Lewand’s departure, Bayern was actually 0-4 in terms of the number of shots, showing a tendency to parry. Considering Frick's explanation after the game, Lewand’s “muscles are a little uncomfortable, we don’t want to take risks”, so Lewand’s state of play is not good and it is not a fact that can be ignored. It's just that when Lewandez was in a downturn and Bayern's passive environment, the team did not find an effective countermeasure against the opponent's counterattack.
[Bayern’s constant danger in front of the goal, a 9-degree bang at the half-time]
From the perspective of personnel adjustments, Flick replaced Lewand with Toliso and Sane in the 67th minute of the game. And Gnabry. Sane has no problem with Gnabry, but Lewand’s missing position is even more deadly. According to the design, Muller's position at this time seems to be more forward, and his position should be replaced by Tolisso, but this combination does not show what the attack line combination should look like. For example, Mueller's position has been retreated obviously. In the second half, there was no touch in the opponent's penalty area (8 in the first half). As for Toliso, who had only 12 passes after his debut, did anyone feel that he was on the court?
When Bayern’s frontcourt offense almost died down, Augsburg’s defensive pressure dropped sharply, so naturally it could be more aggressively and boldly invested in the offense, which allowed the trend of the second half of the game to develop towards the Ao Borg offensive and Bayern’s defensive trends. . However, the problem with Bayern is that positional defense is not a strong point. When Bayern retreats across the board in an attempt to try defensive counterattack tactics, it not only allows the opponent to slow down and continue to suppress it, but also its own various defensive weaknesses are difficult to conceal.
As mentioned above, Bayern’s left-back Lucas did show Atletico's iron spirit on the defensive end, but the recent downturn of Paval, who echoed his right-back, formed a sharp contrast. . In fact, Paval did not work hard on the defensive end. For example, he had good statistics in the first half of high-post pressure, but when Augsburg took a key attack against Pavar this time like Bayern’s previous opponents did, he The degree of passiveness is obvious to all. Not only that,Right winger Sane appeared to be working hard after he came on the field, but his lack of defensive skills and assistive moves made him almost unable to provide much help.
It can be seen that Sane and Paval are now like enemies. On the offensive end, Paval was unable to help Sane open up space or attract defense; on the defensive end, Sane could not help much, which made Paval extremely passive and negligent. In this regard, Augsburg broke down and replaced three players at the same time in 72 minutes of the game: Fenbo Asson and other three position fighters came on the stage, replacing the attack group that had been known for speed. Only 3 minutes later, Tolisso made a backcourt error and his opponent quickly counterattacked. Paval made a handball foul at the back of the penalty area with one defense and two defenses. Fortunately, the post blocked Finbo Asson's penalty at a critical moment.
This penalty let Bayern escape a catastrophe. In fact, Bayern escaped even more in a passive environment throughout the second half. Looking at the data alone, Bayern’s shots in the first half were overwhelmed by 12-0, and the number of shots in the second half was actually 1-9 suppressed-Bayern’s only shot was a long shot from Gretzka’s penalty area! Facing a weaker team like Auberge, Bayern only shot once at halftime. Who would have thought that the team's performance gap would be so bad? In addition, Bayern lost the ball only 8 times in the first half and as many as 19 times in the second half, so that Flick directly replaced Mueller with Martinez at the last minute, insisting on defending to keep the 1-0 victory.
【Conclusion: Quick-acting heart-relief pill, always available for Bayern fans! ] _Strong8strong
If you only look at Bayern's on-the-spot adjustments, it is difficult to understand the performance of the two teams in the first half of the campaign. However, comparing Augsburg's full-line counterattack after breaking the boat in the second half, perhaps we can better understand why Bayern was completely suppressed, and even almost missed the goal. In fact, from Mönchen to Freiburg to Auberge, Bayern’s performance at a loss every time an opponent frantically presses forward is no exception. It is either from physical fitness, from personnel, or from the system, and thoroughly manifested. The defensive slots on the team's position are full, fortunately, the biggest hero of the field helped Neuer finally usher in the long-lost zero seal, but the quick-acting rescue pill has become a must for Bayern fans.
