At Allianz Arena, Mourinho turned his head to look at the white-haired Heynckes.

As the saying goes, generals and coaches are different.

General against general!

Coach against coach!

What happens on the field is up to the players, but the off-field command requires Mourinho and Heynckes to compete.

The white-haired Josef Heynckes was already close to 70 years old.

During his coaching career, he has served as Head Coach for many powerful giants.

This was his third time as Bayern Munich's Head Coach, and he was even a caretaker coach.

Based on the 'heavy offense, light defense' problem left by former Head Coach Van Gaal, Heynckes' arrival immediately solved this issue, and unlike last season, Bayern Munich showed extremely strong combat effectiveness in all competitions.

Mourinho believes Heynckes is definitely an underestimated Head Coach!

Unlike traditional rigid German coaches, Heynckes is very flexible in his tactical application, and although this flexible application has been criticized as 'rigid', Mourinho prefers to call it 'cautious'.

This is a Head Coach who is rough but meticulous; just like this match, just by seeing the starting lineup, Mourinho knew that Heynckes had taken targeted measures against Real Madrid in multiple areas.

At the same time, he changed his previous conservative playing style, and the lineup itself revealed a fierce intensity.

The starting lineups for both sides are as follows:

Bayern Munich (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Neuer.

Defenders: Lahm, Badstuber, Boateng, Alaba.

Midfielders: Schweinsteiger, Vukojević, Kroos.

Forwards: Robben, Mandžukić, Franck Ribéry.

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Srna, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielders: Khedira, Kaka, Alonso.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Suker.

"This is the first leg of the 2011/2012 Champions League Semi-Final, Bayern Munich at home against Real Madrid!"

"After the brutal group stage and knockout rounds, the Champions League has finally reached the semi-finals."

"Representing La Liga, Real Madrid, and representing Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, how will they perform in the Champions League?"

"And for Bayern Munich, can they withstand the impact from Suker? Let's wait and see!"

La Liga commentator González shouted loudly, his opening immediately ignited the enthusiasm of all Real Madrid fans.

At the same time, the German commentator also shouted loudly:

"Finally, this highly anticipated match has arrived! Bayern Munich's warriors will face Real Madrid at Home."

Before the match, veteran Head Coach Heynckes said that they were confident of winning the match, and now let us enjoy the wonderful match between the two teams!"

The entire Allianz Arena entered a solemn atmosphere.

Both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid knew that the opponent was not like the opponents they had encountered before, and they needed to be more careful and cautious.

Both sides were very good at seizing opportunities, and a slight mistake could lead to falling behind.

At the center circle, Suker stepped on the ball, waiting for the kickoff.

On Bayern Munich's half of the field, the players also kept a close eye on Suker, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

"Don't be nervous, slowly bring the rhythm into a familiar environment according to the tactics!"

Lahm shouted loudly.

Suker didn't understand German, so he didn't know what the other side was yelling about, but he could guess that Bayern Munich had some plans for defending him.

At this moment, the Referee made a final confirmation with the Goalkeepers on both sides, then he ran out of the center circle and blew his whistle.

Beep!

With a sharp whistle, the match began.

Suker immediately kicked off, and Real Madrid's midfield immediately started to operate after entering the match.

Alonso and Kaka's positions echoed each other, always maintaining a distance that allowed for connection.

And in front, Suker also kept moving, maintaining a distance where he could receive the ball.

However, as Suker ran, he noticed Vukojević maintaining a subtle distance from him.

At the same time, Lahm also raised his position slightly.

"Chain defense?"

Suker roughly guessed Bayern Munich's idea.

On Bayern Munich's coaching bench, Heynckes' assistant said nervously, "Can this really limit Suker?"

Suker's ability was too strong; so far, there had been no situation where Suker was limited, so he was very skeptical.

Although Vukojević and Lahm were both excellent defensive players, Suker's impact could not be limited by experience and ability alone; it could only be limited by piling up defenders.

In response, Heynckes folded his arms and said calmly, "I didn't intend to successfully limit Suker; I just wanted to give him some interference."

"Real Madrid's attacking line is on the left wing, and the probing will also be on the left wing, and correspondingly, it's our strongest right wing!"

"The Lahm-Schweinsteiger-Robben wing corridor!"

"Seize the opportunity of Real Madrid probing on the left wing, then quickly launch a counterattack!"

Heynckes clenched his fist.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of probing.

Facing Real Madrid, they had to crush them at once!

Slap!

The ball was passed to Suker's feet, and Suker dribbled the ball forward bit by bit, probing the opponent's defense.

Soon, Vukojević rushed over, which was consistent with Suker's idea.

But...

Vukojević's positioning had some problems; his position was closer to the horizontal, not blocking the diagonal front.

Just then, Lahm quickly followed up!

Lahm shouted, "Bastian!"

Schweinsteiger came around from behind, instantly forming a three-man pincer!

"It's done!"

Heynckes clenched his fist hard, and next was the pressing.

Damn it!

Suker constantly flicked and dragged the ball with his feet, keeping it firmly under control, and continuously moved towards the sideline.

Facing the three-man encirclement and pressing, Suker retreated step by step, about to be forced to the sideline.

A throw-in?

Suker thought about this, but at this moment, Lahm suddenly stretched out his foot.

Suker made a horizontal flick and an inward pull with his foot, seizing the opportunity, wanting to break through from the diagonal front.

But just as he dribbled the ball forward, Vukojević suddenly moved horizontally, and the ball hit Vukojević's ankle, flying back towards Suker.

"Success!" Heynckes' eyes widened, he was extremely excited.

They were about to launch a counter...

Just then, Heynckes saw Suker, who had been forced to the sideline, suddenly used his thigh to flick the ball upwards.

The ball flew over his head, into the air.

Everyone was watching the ball, and Vukojević rushed to try and head the ball away.

But at this moment, Suker's choice was to step across and fiercely collide with Vukojević.

Seek confrontation first!

Vukojević was bumped and couldn't clear the ball quickly.

Suker, on the other hand, used this reverse force to regain his balance, and facing the falling ball, he fiercely headed it forward.

At the same time, Suker ran across the sideline, stomping hard, and launched an attack directly from the outside.

"Damn it!"

Heynckes' eyes widened.

Couldn't they win the ball there?

But fortunately, Suker also failed to catch up with the ball, and Badstuber was the first to arrive at the ball's landing spot, immediately transferring the ball away.

Suker still lost possession, but at the same time, he also stifled Bayern Munich's chance for a counterattack.

At this moment, Suker also recovered, and he looked at Heynckes.

If it weren't for Suker's strong dribbling ability, once it was cleared, the retreating Robben could quickly launch a counterattack.

And at that time, Kaka and Alonso were positioned very high, and Robben could directly face Real Madrid's defense.

He almost fell into their trap!

From the very beginning, it was a thrilling tactical game; clearly, Bayern Munich had planned an opening strategy for this match.

"This old guy!" Mourinho also felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Who still dares to say Germans are rigid?

This old man actually set a trap for him!

"Suker, drop back a bit, try to release the ball quickly, don't let the opponent seize the opportunity to surround you!"

Suker also nodded immediately.

Having learned his lesson once, he wouldn't make the same mistake again.

However, to be fair, Bayern Munich's encirclement was really fast!

As soon as Suker felt something was wrong, the opponent had already surrounded him.

"The opponent's pressing and encirclement speed is very fast, transfer the ball out as quickly as possible, one-touch passing!"

Kaka and Alonso continuously moved, receiving and passing the ball after entering the attacking third.

The entire rhythm also surged rapidly.

"These guys never even thought about probing."

Suker finally understood; they went straight for the kill at the start, wanting to catch them off guard, and after the tactic failed, they quickly accelerated the pace, then tried to put pressure on them with the fast pace.

But... it's not certain who will put pressure on whom!

Watching Kaka drop back to receive the ball, Suker moved towards the center.

As Suker moved, Bayern Munich's overall formation also shifted.

In particular, Vukojević and Schweinsteiger, as they ran, actually overlapped.

Seeing this, Suker immediately pointed to his feet.

Alonso understood perfectly, passing the ball directly to Suker.

Suker did not hog the ball; with his back to the goal, he subtly flicked the ball up with his toe.

The ball spun through the gap between Schweinsteiger and Vukojević, passing diagonally forward.

"Careful!"

Vukojević immediately roared.

"I'm here!"

Lahm quickly followed up, shouting to signal his teammates to calm down.

He was about to press forward.

Suddenly, he saw Marcelo had already rushed to his side at some point.

At the same time, in the rib area, Kaka was also charging towards the ball.

Opponents were on both sides, and both were in dangerous positions.

This was the consequence of the midfield overlap.

Based on the principle of prioritizing the inside over the outside, Lahm quickly followed to restrict Kaka, at least preventing Kaka from breaking through the rib area and threatening the goal.

Kaka saw Lahm's run, and he quickly passed the ball to Marcelo on the wing.

With no defense, Marcelo easily controlled the ball, looking up towards the center.

At this point, Lahm had already counter-attacked.

Marcelo grinned, and he immediately passed the ball diagonally forward again.

You thought I was going to cross?

Lahm's sliding tackle kicked the ball out of bounds.

At the same time, the advancing Kaka and other Real Madrid players also stopped.

"Damn it! That short-legged guy can defend like that?"

Marcelo held his head.

His action of looking up was to deceive Lahm, making the latter think he was going to cross, but he wanted to pass diagonally forward to Kaka.

Unexpectedly, Lahm guessed his intention and kicked the ball out of bounds with a sliding tackle.

"The two teams engaged in a fierce confrontation on Real Madrid's left flank. First it was Bayern Munich, and now it's Real Madrid, but both sides successfully restricted each other!"

The German commentator couldn't help but grin.

Both of these offensive and defensive plays were extremely dangerous.

The first time, Bayern Munich took the initiative; if Suker had lost the ball, it would have been a counter-attack opportunity.

The second time, Real Madrid actively created a breakthrough opportunity on the wing, but Lahm cleverly completed the block.

They knew very well that with the capabilities of these two teams, even a tiny opportunity could be converted into a goal.

Although no goals were scored, it highlighted the 'danger'.

And it's only been ten minutes!

The tension instantly ratcheted up as soon as the game began!

"Robben!! Here he comes!!"

Robben quickly approached the defensive line on the right wing.

Marcelo lowered his center of gravity, staring intently at Robben.

He's going to cut inside!

He's going to cut inside!

He's going to cut inside!

Marcelo constantly reminded himself.

Just then, Robben suddenly pushed the ball sideways.

Marcelo's eyes lit up, but just as he wanted to follow, he suddenly realized he couldn't keep up!

"Pepe!!—" Marcelo shouted anxiously: "Cover!"

Pepe quickly followed up, quickly sliding to block.

Robben shot with his left foot, the ball was blocked by Pepe's shin, flying out of bounds.

"Oh~~~~ Robben's cut-inside shot was blocked by Pepe, but this also gave Real Madrid a scare. This is Robben's trademark cut-inside shot, Real Madrid must be careful!"

The Spanish commentator González reminded.

Marcelo felt a chill in his heart.

He knew Robben was going to cut inside, and he clearly saw it, but he just couldn't keep up.

If Pepe hadn't blocked it in time, that ball would have been dangerous.

Suker also looked towards his own penalty area, his brows tightly furrowed.

This was Old Man Robben's cut-inside!

From his perspective, the footwork was too astonishing; no wonder Marcelo couldn't keep up.

Even knowing he would cut inside, if your footwork isn't fast enough, Old Man Robben can still shake you off.

This is also Robben's trademark cut-inside, which for a period became a problem for all of Europe.

Bang!

The ball was cleared out of bounds by Real Madrid, and Lahm immediately rushed up to throw in the sideline ball.

The ball was thrown to Robben, who received it, turned, and again tried to cut inside.

But at this moment, Pepe suddenly took a step forward, colliding head-on with Robben, and at the same time poked the ball away.

Pepe's defensive cover successfully restricted Robben's cut-inside.

"Robben! Don't worry, your cut-inside is still very threatening!"

Lahm continuously shouted encouragement to Robben.

At this moment, Suker appeared in front of him.

Suker received the pass from Alonso, immediately turned to face Lahm.

"Oh no!"

Lahm saw that Vukojević and Schweinsteiger had not yet returned to position, so he could only bite the bullet and defend one-on-one.

First, he had to restrict Suker from going to the byline.

Just then, Suker began to dribble forward.

He initiated the attack from the left wing, but Suker's speed was not fast, yet his footwork was astonishing, touching the ball repeatedly, maintaining a steady advance, but the distance of each touch was perfectly controlled, making it impossible to tackle.

"This feeling..."

Lahm felt a familiar sensation from Suker.

Just as Lahm wanted to press forward, Suker suddenly hooked the ball sharply with his left foot, and smoothly began to dribble horizontally along the edge of the penalty area.

Lahm tried to keep up again, but found that he simply couldn't.

Isn't this Robben's cut-inside?!—

Suker's sudden cut-inside threw Bayern Munich's defense into disarray.

They had seen many of Suker's breakthroughs before the match, but this type of cut-inside was rare.

If anything, during his time at Milan, Suker enjoyed operating along the edge of the penalty area for a period, even being called the 'Suker Corridor' by Italian commentators.

However, after joining Real Madrid, in pursuit of goal efficiency, Suker rarely dribbled like this.

Now, with this sudden move, they were momentarily stunned.

"Badstuber!! Go up!"

"Don't stick out your leg!"

"Force him out! Force him out!"

Suker dribbled horizontally along the edge of the penalty area.

On the defensive line, Benzema was positioned there, ready to advance at any moment, with Bale providing support on the right.

Bayern Munich was clearly unprepared for this change.

And just then, Suker feigned a shot, tricking Badstuber into sticking out his leg to block again.

Suker took another touch forward, creating a shooting angle.

"That's it!"

Suker abruptly twisted his waist and shot.

Suker struck an opposite angle, the ball whizzing past Badstuber and rapidly traveling towards the left goalpost.

Bayern Munich's Goalkeeper Neuer rushed to save, narrowly tipping the ball with his fingertips.

The ball's trajectory changed, striking the goalpost and rebounding towards the right side of the six-yard box.

And there, Benzema and Boateng quickly followed up, getting ahead of their opponent, Benzema followed up and slid to score.

Swish!!

In the 28th minute, Real Madrid scored first.

Benzema scored with a tap-in!

"Goal!!! Oh my god!! Benzema!! Benzema has done it!"

The Spanish commentator González suddenly jumped off his bench, shouting excitedly.

In a deadlocked situation, this goal was so crucial!

"Suker's cut-inside shot completely threw Bayern Munich's defense into disarray. Neuer made a valiant save to block, but Bayern Munich had bad luck; the ball rebounded to the right side of the six-yard box, and Benzema scored with a tap-in!"

"This attack again came from Suker's dribbling on the left wing."

"After Robben completed his cut-inside, Suker also used the same method to complete a shot! This demonstrates Suker's diverse attacking ability and versatility!"

"I didn't expect Bayern Munich's defense to be torn open like this!"

"I think Bayern Munich's defenders are also having a huge headache!"

As the commentator spoke, the camera shifted to the Bayern defenders.

Alaba was seen holding his head, a look of disbelief on his face.

"He can still cut inside like this?"

This was never mentioned before the game!

Suker still plays like this?

Lahm and the others were silent.

Alaba was too young, he hadn't experienced Suker during his AC Milan days.

If he had, he wouldn't have asked such a question.

Yes!

Suker can cut inside.

It's just that he hadn't played like that for so long that they had forgotten the 'Suker Corridor' that once shook Europe!
