Original title: genius skipper? Nashua's bizarre tactics are all over the board, repeating Barcelona's 2-8 mistake.
The Champions League semi-final in the early hours of this morning was a battle between two German-born managers. However, Tuchel taught the young Nagelsmann a lesson. Nagelsmann, who was described as a "genius", made a number of arrangements in the match that were proven wrong afterwards.
In this match, Nagelsmann unexpectedly lined up a four-back formation. Faced with Neymar, Mbappe, Di Maria composed of the attack line, four back formation in both the density of defense or lateral coverage area are not enough. Moreover, in order to prevent leaving too much space for Paris in the middle of the road, Leipzig's defense formation is relatively more contraction, which is to give Paris more space on both sides of the road.
If the defense is undermanned, this is not enough to be the reason why Leipzig lost the ball early. But I don't know if it is not before the battle, or fear of Neymar, Mbappe and other people start speed, Leipzig gave up in the opponent's half of the pressure on the ball carrier, but hunkered down in the home half of the field for the drop defense, which also gives Paris left enough space to hold the ball, out of the ball.
Mbappe came close in the opening six minutes when he comfortably sent in a back-heeled ball that Neymar was able to reverse offside. And in the 17th minute, Leipzig also failed to make the first pressure on Di Maria who was holding the ball, allowing the Argentine to comfortably send a direct ball, and Mbappe's rubbing shot was still not even close. If it wasn't for luck, Leipzig could have been 0-5 down at half time.
Nagelsmann's second major failing of the game was trying to pass the ball out short at the back. In fact, Leipzig goalkeeper Gulacy had a big eye on the game, nearly gifting Paris two goals all by himself. In the 7th minute, Gulaci blindly fired a wide ball into the box, only to kick it past Neymar. Mbappe's follow-through push would have been ruled valid had the Brazilian not been blown for a handball foul.
And in the 42nd minute of the game, Gulacy still couldn't escape punishment. With the Paris players not pressing very hard, Gulacy made a casual pass, but it went straight to the other team, and Paris, of course, did not let go of this opportunity and immediately took Leipzig by surprise right on the spot, making the score 2-0.
In the 55th minute, the poor play at the Leipzig back continued. Di Maria's cross from the left was broken up, but Mukilai chose to take the ball past the Parisian players and eventually slipped and gave the ball away. Di Maria's cross came in again, but Leipzig's defenders were already distracted and Bernat scored with an unmarked header.
Such a scene, can not help but remind people of the previous quarter-final, Barcelona 2-8 defeat Bayern that game. At that time, Barcelona is also fond of in the back of the field to conduct conduction, and ultimately by Bayern's crazy looting, repeated mistakes, was on the ground to play counterattack. Now Barcelona's encounter in the front, but Nagelsmann in the players of the technical situation is not superior, but still choose such tactics, can only say that the marshal is still a little young, need to pay tuition for the young.
