Bayern Bundesliga or Dortmund, who is closer to Barcelona?

"The above passage comes from Bayern's football emperor beckenbauer, and klopp and his team will only take it as a compliment. However, this contrast will definitely make Dortmund fans happy, and what is shown in Dortmund's tactical system will convince them that Bayern's legend is right. In some ways, Dortmund's football style is indeed similar to Barcelona. That is the concept of aggressive football, and breaking the inherent formation makes it more unpredictable (klopp changed from 4-2-3- 1 to 3-5-2, Guardiola changed from 4-3-3 to 3-4-3). In these respects, they are interrelated. In addition, klopp paved the way for young players to enter the senior team, just like Guardiola did in La Masia. Yes, Dortmund can always exert high-intensity oppression on the court. Facts have proved that their high-pressure defense is a good way to help them regain the ball. And their quick counterattack mode of passing the ball with one foot is similar to that of Barcelona. Their defense line is always at the front, and the whole audience is fighting for it. Even their defense actively participated in the attack. In the first half of this season, the number of touches by Subotic, Schmahl and Piszczek can strongly prove this point. Yes, in these respects, Dortmund is indeed closer to Barcelona than Bayern. But their similarities are limited to the above aspects. But in some key aspects, they are still very different from Barcelona. In addition to Barcelona's unique gorgeous passing, klopp has other aspects that Dortmund does not have. In fact, it is precisely because of these differences that we can boldly say that Bayern is actually closer to Barcelona than Dortmund. Then let's take a look at the specific aspects. First of all, Dortmund has its own football system, which has nothing to do with Barcelona. Dortmund's system has become increasingly mature under the creation of klopp, so there is no need to imitate others' system. Therefore, although they are close to Barcelona in some aspects, they are more different from Barcelona than Bayern. Bayern, as a successful imitator of Barcelona's ball control, signed Guardiola to show that they want to make this style of play more perfect. Klopp, the godfather of Dortmund, and the most basic element is to control the ball. Dortmund did a good job in holding the ball, but at least from the data of the first half of the season, they did not gain an advantage in controlling the ball. Of course, in fact, controlling the ball is not a complete guarantee for a team to win. However, the more possession of the ball, the more likely the team is to control the game. If you control the game, the chances of creation will increase accordingly. In the first two games of the second half of the season, Dortmund mastered the ball control advantage, and they also showed more confidence than in the first half of the season. Although Dortmund is not very dazzling in possession of the ball, as a team, they are quite amazing in defensive counterattack. For such a team, controlling the ball is not essential. Their problem is that in positional warfare, when attacking the opponent's defensive hinterland, the ball can't be passed to the feet of the arrow character well. They did well in the group matches against Manchester City and Real Madrid. But in these games, it is hard to say that they have controlled the situation. Their full court press, just like Barcelona, helps them effectively resolve each other's attacks. But in the counterattack, they sacrificed the control of the ball, which is what they need to improve. After regaining the ball, they should calm down first, instead of fighting back blindly. Dortmund players should learn to hold the ball under their feet, attack orderly and control the ball through some necessary reversals. This can also effectively help Dortmund's midfielders and full-backs maintain their physical strength. In the first half of the season, people can always see them flying all over the court. Today, in the whole European football, Bayern's possession rate is second only to Barcelona. Their application of Barcelona's ball control concept has been recognized, which is one of the reasons why Guardiola chose to coach Bayern. Barcelona controlled the ball and the rhythm of the game. They slow down by constantly reversing their feet, and then suddenly speed up when they counter-attack. Now Dortmund is doing better when fighting back. So their games are always accompanied by a lot of running. But they can't control the rhythm of the game. On the other hand, Bayern once again approached Barcelona in this respect. With good ball control and mobilization ability, they controlled the rhythm of the game and then mastered the whole game. But their full-backs, central defenders, former defenders and world-class wingers also enable Bayern to make sharp counterattacks when necessary, or slow down the pace of the game by sacrificing the opportunity of counterattacks. Barcelona's passing is unparalleled. Their triangle pass is short, flat and fast. Many times, this inverted foot depends on the position of the receiver and the player without the ball. Unless Barcelona find a good opportunity to attack, they seldom go straight, and reducing unnecessary contact with the ball also makes their game enjoyable. Dortmund, on the other hand, relies more on blocking directly behind each other. So their attack was like a crack. Because their passes are straight, the error rate will be correspondingly high. So even if they get the ball in a favorable position, they will stop the whole counterattack because of a passing mistake. Bayern, on the other hand, sends the ball to every position on the court through the lower back. In order to hold the ball, they have been insisting on frequent rewinding. Although these passes slow down the pace of the game, they also ensure that opponents will not get a chance to fight back. In short pass, Bayern is closer to Barcelona than Dortmund. Guardiola will have more offensive options in Bayern, but one thing is that Barcelona is different from Bayern and Dortmund. That is to use two flanks. Bayern and Dortmund both have high centers. In addition to looking for the commanding heights of the frontcourt directly from the backcourt, Germany also likes to pass the ball from the winger or full-back to the center through two flanks. The full-back always keeps plugging in, while the winger will cut the situation to the front of the penalty area. During Guardiola's coaching, the Barcelona winger seemed less important than the Bundesliga. Sometimes, Pedro, Cuenca or Taylor will be sent to play in the second half of the game and try to attack on the flank. However, Barcelona wingers prefer to cut inside. In this regard, Guardiola has more choices in his new club. Attacking from the flank may be a new weapon in his tactical system.
