Heinx had a headache, but he was not helpless with Zhou Yi.

Since Heinx wants to help Bayern Munich regain the league championship throne that has lost two seasons in 19, it is impossible to bypass Dortmund as an opponent. Since he wants to compete with Dortmund, Zhou Yi is a key figure that must not be ignored.

So he must have done a lot of research on Zhou Yi.

In Heinx's opinion, Zhou Yi is not without weaknesses. Although his physical fitness has improved greatly, his strength has increased very slowly. After several years of debut, his physical fitness can support him to play games in a row, but his figure has not changed much, which shows that he is still not the kind of player who is good at physical confrontation and has sufficient strength.

Why is this happening? There are many reasons. Maybe it is because Zhou Yi thinks he doesn't like to be a muscle maniac, maybe it is because the strength is improved too slowly, or maybe it is because he is unwilling to invest as much energy in strength training as in physical training.

In short, Zhou Yi has not been a player who can still gain the upper hand in close combat against his opponents until now.

Then it is a way to use the advantages of your body to accumulate his living space in defense.

In this game, Heinx also asked Harvey Martinez to do so, requiring him to use physical confrontation as long as he had contact with Zhou Yi. Of course, this physical confrontation must be well-maintained, and not easily fouled. If you make a foul, you will easily be targeted by the referee and then you will get a yellow card. Once you have a card on your body, you will have a lot of considerations when making moves in defense, which will greatly reduce the defensive effect.

Heinx couldn't teach this scale issue to Xavi Martinez, and he could only let the Spanish midfielder experience and understand it by himself.

Another way is a way of thinking. Since Zhou Yi is as difficult as a slippery loach, why should we stick to defend Zhou Yi itself? Why can't we start with Zhou Yi's passing targets? Zhou Yi is an offensive organizer. No matter what, he always passes the football to other teammates in the end. So will it be much easier for us to defend his passing target and then defend Zhou Yi?

Heinx also adopted this strategy in this game.

Taking a two-pronged approach, vowing to win Dortmund at home and achieve a landmark victory. In the past two seasons, Bayern Munich has faced Dortmund in the league and lost all four games. This is a shame for Bayern Munich, who has always been the boss of the Bundesliga, such a result is simply a shame.

Although the score difference is not big, the gap is only between two goals at most. However, the opponent who has not won in two years still makes Bayern Munich feel angry.

In the German Cup final last season, Dortmund met with Bayern Munich, but Dortmund defeated Bayern Munich with a huge difference of 5:2 in the final. The failure of this game cannot be explained by the reason that "Bayern Munich preserves his strength and needs to prepare for the Champions League final."

It was not until this season's Super Cup that Bayern Munich finally defeated Dortmund.

The victory in this game is also seen as a turning point. Beating Dortmund is very important for the recovery of morale and confidence of the entire Bayern Munich team.

Now in the league, Bayern Munich naturally hopes to continue their momentum in the Super Cup, defeat Dortmund again in the more valuable league, and completely end the embarrassing situation of Dortmund not winning before.

Because of the full preparation, Bayern Munich had the advantage on the field at the beginning of the game, and the offense was even more threatening and restricted Dortmund's offense.

Although Zhou Yi relied on his running to avoid the close-fitting defense of Xavi Martinez, the others at Dortmund could not have run around like him, and they did not care about the formation at all. They had to stay honestly in their positions and cooperate with others with passing and running positions. When Bayern Munich targeted them, Zhou Yi's pass was useless.

Formation is the basis of modern football. All tactics are based on formation. Without formation, there will be no rich and varied tactics now, and there will be no football viewing. Think about it, a person drives the ball forward, kills him and does not pass the ball. All around him are teammates running with him. Nine people rushed towards the opponent's goal, either completing the attack with one shot, or being cut off by the opponent... What's so good about such a football game?

But at the beginning of modern football, this is how football matches were played...

At that time, passing was considered a cowardly act of evading responsibility. Passing was not encouraged and meaningless and useful. Football matches were to drive the ball and charge and then shoot the football into the opponent's goal. If a player lets the football leave his foot, he would fail. Even when facing a tight defense, he had to rush forward to it, so that he could reflect his masculinity. If he passed the football out, oh my God, he must be afraid of confrontation. He was a coward without courage!

It was not until later that the Scots were ahead of this, and compared with the Englishmen who liked to drive the ball, they preferred to pass the ball around. And they defeated the arrogant English team by relying on this football that seemed as ridiculous as juggling in the English media, which gradually changed everyone's attitude towards passing.

Passing has gradually become an important means in football matches. During the process, the concept of formation has also emerged. Football no longer has ten people rank in one line to charge collectively, while some people are dragging behind to be responsible for defense, while others are responsible for offense in the front. The existence of the formation makes the passing meaningful, and passing the ball makes the formation begin to develop and change.

After step by step, the football form we see now is finally formed.

It may be hard for people to imagine that the most important technical and tactical method in football events, such as passing, was used more than a hundred years ago...

Today's football is based on formation and passing.

Formation ensures that tactical concepts can be executed by players on the court using passes and running positions. If there is no formation, it will be a mess and no one knows how to play.

Bayern Munich strengthened the defense of other players in response to the characteristics of Dortmund's passing organization, relying on Zhou Yi's passing organization, making it difficult for Zhou Yi to find a suitable passer, which has the effect of preventing Dortmund from attacking.

Of course, Dortmund doesn't have to raise his hands to surrender.

After slowly adapting to Bayern Munich's tactics, they also made adjustments.

Their adjustment is to strengthen the running of all players involved in the offense, so that they no longer stick to their current position and prescribed positions when attacking, and encourage players to change positions. Playing standing is the lowest-level way of playing football, and it is most likely to be killed by the opponent. Although playing football according to a fixed routine is more advanced than playing football, it will still be touched by the opponent.

However, if you change positions during the offense and play the Great Shift of the Universe, the difficulty of the opponent will increase exponentially if you want to limit the attack. Although it cannot be said that the opponent's defense will lose its effect by 100%, it can increase the chance of your own attack success.

The biggest disadvantage of this approach is that it has high physical fitness requirements. If the whole team's physical fitness does not meet the standards and some people can't run, then this tactic will have problems and eventually lead to a collapse.

However, this is not a problem that Dortmund would worry about, because the whole team of Dortmund is famous for its physical fitness. Even Zhou Yi, who could not finish a single game, has now become a "unstop running" running all over the field.

Another problem is that this frequent transposition requires players to have a deep understanding of tactics and have high requirements for tacit understanding. This is not a random run. In order not to let the opponent grasp the rules, running around will not have any good results.

But Dortmund doesn't have to worry about this, because there are three players in Dortmund's lineup who are particularly good at playing the Great Movement of the Universe in this game.

They are Zhou Yi, Mark and Gotze.

In this game, Klopp did not let Reus serve as the substitute, but asked him to play as a substitute, with the purpose of giving Mark a chance to play. Klopp also expected how Bayern Munich would deal with him in the game, so he was ready.

The three of them lined up in this game behind Lewandowski, with Zhou Yi in the middle, Mark on the right and Gotze on the left.

But the three of them actually have no fixed positions. Once the attack starts, the three of them will keep changing positions, which is dazzling. When the last pass is passed, Gotze is still on the left. Well, when he catches the ball next time he may have reached the middle, while Zhou Yi goes to the left.

The two teams that are evenly matched are difficult to solve in the game. Everyone has times to threaten the opponent's goal, but they also have times to be threatened. Just looking at this scene, it is hard to say which side is sure to win the game.

Commentator Marcel Leif was satisfied with this situation: "This is the highest level of German football! Whether it is the technical content reflected by the players or the tactics carefully prepared by the head coaches of both sides for this game, they all reflect the highest level of German football! The scene is stalemate and suspense is full of. Whether it is an outsider or an insider, you can see what they want to see in this game, which is perfect!"

Chinese TV commentator Duan Xin also praised the performance of both sides: "...Although the score has not been rewritten, such a game, even if it is 0:0, there is no shortage of exciting and exciting scenes. Dortmund has been dominating the Bundesliga in the past two seasons, as their opponent, Bayern Munich is not in the best state. However, this season, Bayern Munich's outstanding performance has given Dortmund a best opponent. I think it is a blessing for all Bundesliga fans to see the competition between these two strong teams!"

Amid the praises of the commentators, the first half of this strong dialogue came to an end.

Although everyone had some opportunities in these forty-five minutes, no one caught it, or they did a good job in defense.
