Chapter 725: Gladiator

"Dear spectators, welcome to the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy."

"What is being broadcast live for you is the 2008-2009 season, the UEFA Champions League final."

"The game is about to start."

"Today, the local temperature in Rome is pretty good, 23 degrees Celsius, and humidity 71%, which is very suitable for the game environment."

"Before the game, the Olympic Stadium will hold a short opening ceremony and there will be a performance."

"The scene is welcoming several heavyweight guests tonight."

"We can see the Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi, the Prime Minister of China, the President Horst Kohler from Germany, the Chancellor Merkel, the representative of the British Royal Family, Prince William, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Gordon Brown. "

"The last ones are UEFA President Platini and Secretary General Infantino."

"The warm-up show before the game has begun."

"There was a chanting. This is the voice of the blind Italian tenor Bocelli, and the theme song from the famous Hollywood film Gladiator. The actor played the role of Jupiter, the king of Roman gods in thunder and lightning."

"A group of well-dressed supermodels walked into the stadium holding the St. Blair Cup models, which represents the fashion country of Italy."

"Bocelli started singing Handel's original UEFA Champions League theme music again, and the atmosphere was very strong."

"The game is about to start."

"We can see that the live TV footage has switched to the player channel. Players from both teams have lined up in the channel and are ready to enter the field at any time. Standing at the forefront is the referee of this game, Busaka from Switzerland. "

"Busaka, who is now 40 years old, has very rich experience. He is the director of a company. From the first international competition in 1999 to the present, he has participated in nearly 80 UEFA matches. He has played more than 30 UEFA Champions League matches and has very rich experience."

"This season, Busaka has enforced five UEFA Champions League matches, all of which were won within 90 minutes. This season he has enforced Bayern Munich and Manchester United each, and both teams have won."

"We will see tonight who the Swiss referee will bring luck."

"The two teams quickly walked into the court."

"We can see the starting lineups of the two teams in this game."

"Bayern Munich still adopts the four-three-three formation style that they are good at. The goalkeeper is Germany’s new international player Neuer, the defense is Marcelo on the left and Lahm on the right. The two central defenders are Hummels and Hummels. Lucio’s combination."

"The midfield is behind Schweinsteiger, Vidal and Modric are forward, and the trident in the front court has not changed. Ribery, Aguero and Robben form the most lethal offensive combination in Europe. ."

"It can be said that Bayern Munich did their best in this game, and the lineup is also very neat."

"Let's look at Manchester United again."

"Ferguson ranked Manchester United's traditional four-four-two formation in this game."

"The goalkeeper is Dutch veteran Van der Sar, and the defenders are Leiden Bynes, Evans, Ferdinand and O'Shea. The Portuguese defender Pepe received a red card in the second round of the semi-finals and regrettably missed the final. , So Ferguson arranged for the teenager Evans to start. It is estimated that this position will be the weakness of Manchester United in this game."

"In midfield, Giggs on the left, Matic and Carrick are in the center, Fletcher on the right, and the two forwards in the front field are a combination of Tevez and Rooney."

"Ferguson hid Berbatov, and instead let Tevez and Rooney form a double striker, and arranged four players in the midfield. The intention is already very obvious. He wants to use the midfield to suppress Bayern in this game. Munich."

Gao Han was in front of the home team's coach and saw Manchester United's starting lineup. His first reaction was the same as everyone else. Ferguson wanted to use his number advantage to suppress Bayern Munich's midfielder.

"This old man still refuses to stay on his feet." Gao Han smiled and praised.

He knows Ferguson very well and knows the temper of the Scots.

When facing Barcelona last year, Ferguson knew that his team could not play against their opponents, but he just chose to push it out. This was absolutely irrational, but it was in line with the personality of him and Manchester United.

Or it should be said that Ferguson and his Manchester United have long passed the stage where they need to rely on performance to prove themselves. They are more about sticking to their football philosophy and their own ideas.

Defending the game is definitely not what Manchester United insists on, so they would rather lose the game, but also choose to press out.

The same is true for this game.

What's more, his choice is not unreasonable.

Everything has its pros and cons. Bayern Munich’s players are participating in the Champions League final for the first time. Manchester United pressured to attack, maybe it disrupted Bayern Munich’s position?

As for the risk, Ferguson must have considered it, so he took down Berbatov and arranged four midfielders.

The only surprise is that Scholes did not start, and he is expected to play as a surprise player.

When Gao Han thought of this, he couldn't help but get excited.

This is the Ferguson he knows.

Such a Champions League final is interesting.

"Be careful, guys, keep your feet steady at the beginning, take your time, don't rush, don't mess, understand?"

Gao Han quickly walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly at the players.

The players on the court heard his shouts and nodded.

…………

…………

For the final of last season, Ferguson has always been brooding.

If you say regret, there must be some. After all, you lost in the finals, but if you want to say envious, there is absolutely no.

As an experienced head coach, Ferguson had anticipated all the possibilities before the game.

He knows better than anyone that if he takes a defensive position, there is definitely a game to play, at least the outcome is unpredictable.

It's not that Manchester United has never defended, but Ferguson has always believed that retreating to the penalty area and adopting a tactic of guarding the dead is not what Manchester United should insist on.

Bravery is the team trait he has always valued most.

Therefore, he has always insisted on letting the team use what he is good at and positive ways to create better results.

If you go against what you insist on, then it is considered a good result. What is the point?

Therefore, he chose to press out that game.

The same is true for this game!

Tonight is the Champions League final, a life and death battle.

Just like the gladiators sung by Bocelli, only one team can leave this arena with glory.

"Tell them to attack after the opening, try to do their best to kill their opponents!"

Ferguson commanded loudly.

…………

…………

With a whistle from the referee Busaka, the much-anticipated Champions League final finally kicked off.

Manchester United took the lead in getting the kick-off right.

At the beginning of the game, the Red Devils quickly kicked the ball and passed it directly to the backcourt, but the players on the frontcourt rushed quickly. The two forwards were more like two sharp blades and directly slammed into Bayern Munich's goal.

The Bundesliga giants also retired quickly, especially the back line led by Lucio and Hummels, who retreated directly to the front of the penalty area, but the Red Devils came fiercely and the ball quickly passed to the midfield.

After Carrick took the ball and moved to the left rib, Giggs took the ball and took it to the center, but when he entered the 30-meter area, he was dragged by midfielder Schweinsteiger and tripped to the ground. The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

This was the first foul in this game, and Manchester United got an opportunity to set the ball in the front court.

Less than a minute after the opening, a set-piece opportunity was created, and the Manchester United fans in the stands looked extremely excited.

Giggs and Wayne Rooney are standing on both sides of the penalty spot. This position is far away from the goal, a full 30 meters, and it is unlikely to hit the goal directly, so Bayern Munich is more defensive against Manchester United players. .

Unexpectedly, Giggs suddenly threw a fast curve ball, with a strong spin, went straight to the goal.

Neuer quickly made a judgment and stretched out his hands to hug the ball, but he didn't expect to let it go.

This sudden change caused a riot in the entire restricted area, and the stands were even more exclaimed.

Tevez quickly followed up and took a missed shot before everyone else, but Hummels flew to the ground and blocked Tevez's up shot from the goal.

Only then did the entire Olympic Stadium exhale.

Neuer raised his hand to his teammates apologetically, saying that the danger was caused by his own mistake. He looked a little nervous, and the captain Ram and Schweinsteiger, Hummels and other teammates They walked over to comfort him.

Gao Han also clapped his hands vigorously on the sidelines, sure that the players performed well, don't worry, take your time.

Giggs ran to the corner area, but this time, Neuer quickly rushed out of the goal for his free corner kick, leaped high, grabbed it from the midair before everyone else, and did not give Manchester United any threat to the goal. opportunity.

The German goalkeeper's attack also won him full cheers.

Bayern Munich quickly sent a goal kick, Neuer sent the ball to right-back Lahm, but Manchester United did not seem to have the intention to retreat, and still launched a fierce press against Bayern Munich in the frontcourt.

With two strikers and four midfielders, Manchester United's frontcourt press is very strong, and Ferguson can be said to have enough capital.

Bayern Munich played a little cautiously at the beginning. The players are all participating in the Champions League final for the first time. They are mainly stable, so they are quickly suppressed by Manchester United. The Red Devils use their own pressure and aggressive running to make Bayern Munich pass. The control is difficult to spread, and often make mistakes after two or three passes.

However, Bayern Munich is also very tightly organized defensively. Once a goal is lost, it will immediately form a meticulous defensive level, which will not give Manchester United a real opportunity to threaten the goal.

It was not until the sixth minute that Manchester United had another chance.

It was another long shot by Tevez from 30 meters away from the goal, which was slightly wide of the goal, but it made Bayern Munich all startled in a cold sweat.

The Manchester United players pressed fiercely after the opening and played very aggressively.

Bayern Munich’s midfield and backcourt pass control is very skillful, and both central defenders have a strong ability to play, so Ferguson arranged for Tevez and Rooney to simultaneously press against the two central defenders, which made Matic’s position more forward. , Pressing Schweinsteiger.

This kind of near-man-to-man regional pressing, coupled with Manchester United players' physical fitness in the opening game, made Bayern Munich really feel a headache. The ball is even difficult to pass to the frontcourt, let alone a threat.

Alpine was also mentally prepared for such a start. In fact, Ferguson used it against Barcelona as early as last season, but Barcelona quickly reacted and hit it.

So this time, he took down Berbatov, played on Fletcher, and used four midfielders and double forwards to work at the same time~www.NovelMTL.com~ This made Gao Han have to admire, Ferguson's training of Manchester United, The ability to understand tactics is really extraordinary, and you can play fresh tricks no matter how you play.

But certainly not let Manchester United continue to attack like this, Bayern Munich must give a counterattack.

But when Gao Han was thinking about countermeasures and preparing to make adjustments, a sudden change occurred on the court.

Manchester United left-back Leighton Bynes suddenly jumped in, and Giggs drove the ball to the right side of Bayern Munich. After attracting the attention of Lahm and other defensive players, he suddenly moved back to the left.

Without thinking about it, Leighton Bynes made a pass with his left foot and sent the ball into the penalty area.

At this time, Rooney quickly plugged in the back row, jumped high, blocked Lucio with his body, stopped the ball in his chest, and shot directly with his leg after landing.

The ball went straight to the goal with a thunderous momentum.

All Bayern Munich fans were shocked. 8)
