Champions League – Bayern makes it unnecessary exciting – Süddeutsche.de

From Benedict Warmbrunn and Christof Kneer, Turin

A second round is also in the Champions League home and away, that is, each team has a minimum of 180 minutes to sort things out. This realization leads sometimes to a time management system that can be boring for the spectators sometimes, the players are based mostly first time and see what the opponent has to offer. The FC Bayern are the rules of this Masters Cup for several decades known but rarely Bayern have the usual routines of this game so much ignored as this evening in Turin.

The sampling lasted about as long as the whistle the referee: Hardly had opened the game, the Bayern rushed into the opposition half to there – to stay – with a few exceptions. So a radical experimental arrangement has been experienced in European football hardly ever: A Auswärtself that the opponent – pushes so outrageous backward purely

Very good prospects for the second leg

<- a world-class team named juventus. p> so bold was this plan, as spectacular then ran the game that was much höherklassig as a commercial knockout round. Fascinating Munich dominated the game for an hour on world-class level, they led deserved 2: 0 before passionate Turin took a surprising Anschlusstor to fight their way back into the game. The result of 2: 2 had the Münchner accepted before the game certainly – for this gameplay it might hurt them, however. Bayern have made it again unnecessarily exciting, yet opened the 2: 2 good prospects for the second leg on 16 March. “We have to play like the first 60 minutes, just stop in 30 more minutes,” Arjen Robben said dryly. He was “very pleased with the play,” Pep Guardiola said later, “Juventus was last season, after all, in the Champions League final”.

Guardiola is known as a friend of the offensive game, it further represents its players forward than other coaches, but that night he placed it also further forward than Pep Guardiola. Rarely does a coach has to do out of necessity as dramatic a virtue tried as Bayern coach this evening: The injury-related absence of center-back Jerome Boateng, Javi Martínez and Holger Badstuber countered the coach with a flight-to-front tactic that should make the existence of a defense unnecessary. The Bayern closed the Turin one near the penalty area, often they met one of the so-called Bayern defender anywhere near the number position. The Arturo Vidal, the Guardiola had given preference to Xabi Alonso, played a kind Libero between Joshua Kimmich and David Alaba, sometimes Kimmich was a kind of intelligence chief, all of course in the middle.



it was Guardiola’s idea: If we have an injured misery in defense as it never gave them, then play we also hold a tactic that never existed. And if we do not have big players left, we have to stop playing so that the major players of the opponent does not get to the ball. Non-hazardous, this strategy was not: In this game, each ball loss was more than just a loss of the ball. He invited the Turin, in backing into the open spaces; Although the was rare, but it was just a ball loss of Vidal, the former Munich Mario Mandzukic a chance to put allowed (12). Otherwise, however, it was Bayern who practiced in the art of chance wasted. Shortly after Mandzukics action squandered precisely those two Munich an opportunity that would currently end up blindfolded six goals at the goal wall. After fine assisted by Philipp Lahm Robert Lewandowski played a sloppy cross pass to Thomas Müller, who only brought a Kullerball about.

The Italians succeeded at this time hardly penetrate into the relevant areas, even though they demanded (quite understandable) a penalty when Vidal the ball jumped on the hand. The game remained, mostly from Munich view, first class, but it seemed a zero zero to pause added control – until that man took the stage, which had acted as the only Bayern bit unfortunate until then. But what does that mean when it comes to Thomas Müller

Some balls had Müller hitherto verschusselt little unclean, but then came the attack: Robben crossed to the back post, Douglas Costa prolonged the volley into the center where Barzagli could only clarify inadequate; and the clearance was holding back to Müller, the dry fired the ball into the goal (43.).

The faith of Italians returns

A well-deserved half-time lead was, Juve seemed drawn by the Munich dominance. As Arjen Robben with classic Robben-Move (drag from right inside and shoot) soon after the 2: 0 succeeded (55th), probably not even believed the Italians to a turn. “But then we get a goal, the audience is suddenly there again, and then you realize just that Juve are a good team,” said Philipp Lahm summed together later the momentum of these minutes. The 1: 2 by Dybala (63) brought the people of Turin faith back; simultaneously the Bayern began to shake, the young Kimmich about who had initiated goal by losing possession. Now Juve piled chance chance Cuadrado failed on Neuer (67th), Pogba shot over the bar (68) – so surprisingly the 1: 2 came, so predictable was then 2:. 2 Substitute Morata headed the ball the ball into the center where the substitute Sturaro the ball before Kimmich steered into the goal (76th). “Nevertheless Kimmich played perfect,” Guardiola praised later. He probably meant that Kimmich how Bayern played: only impressive, but then with minor flaws, which consists of a 0: 2 2:. make 2
