Chapter two hundred and fifty seventh rival
After both sides warmed up, they returned to their respective locker rooms. They had to make final preparations, and the head coach would give some pre-match speeches or something to boost morale.
But everyone has different styles.
Some people have a mouth full of fire, and a mouth can make the players have strong fighting spirit and high morale.
Some people are taciturn and speak very simply at this time, and leave the rest of the time to the players themselves.
Ferguson is obviously not the kind of taciturn person. He is known as the "hair dryer", and he is very good at talking, which can be seen from the fact that he and Wenger are fighting each other.
Now in the locker room, he is encouraging his players: "Many people think the weather and the venue are good for us, so we will definitely win this game. I don't think so. Does Manchester United have to help with the weather and the venue to win Bayern Munich? This is our home court, we want to make it to the finals, that's enough. I know that until yesterday, many media have said that Manchester United has won because Bayern Munich is not lucky... I want to remind you that the more you are, the more you should be vigilant. There is no game in this world that can definitely win, especially in the Champions League semi-finals..."
Magath also hopes that Manchester United will underestimate the enemy, but now it is not easy to underestimate the enemy after listening to Ferguson's words...
With Ferguson's skill, he may underestimate his opponent when facing some unknown opponents in the league, but he will definitely not underestimate his opponent in the Champions League semi-finals.
No matter how famous a person is, no one is a soft persimmon that is easy to bully.
Meanwhile, in Bayern Munich's locker room, Magath is nervously setting up tactics.
Although all these things have been mentioned before, Magath was worried, especially after re-examining the venue, he found that the venue was so bad that it was beyond his imagination, so he wanted to give it a second reminder.
"The venue is not good, so we need to reduce the number of shots under our feet, which will increase our mistakes. In this game, we must play more cautiously, handle the ball simply and quickly, and do not control the ball in the backcourt without unnecessary control. Get more balls and pass them forward, try to do two more wings... Do you remember our practice in these days? All efforts are to come in handy at this time."
He didn't talk about the factors outside the court, so don't make things difficult for the players at this time. He might have forgotten what he wanted to mention again, which is simply a perfect psychological hint...
※※※
When the competition started, the rain finally became lighter, but it was still very annoying, and the venue did not improve because of the lighter rain.
Especially after warming up, it looks even worse...
In this environment, the competition began.
Bayern Munich kicked off first.
After passing the ball back a few kicks, they quickly kicked the ball forward. However, Lucas Sutton did not hit the ball at all.
Football was beaten by Bayern Munich's central defender Vidic.
Seeing this scene, many Chinese and German journalists in the media table shook their heads and sighed.
Bayern Munich's attack obviously realized that the venue was not suitable for walking on the ground, so he switched to playing high ball. During the pre-match training, it was said that they also conducted special targeted training.
But...even so, there is still no way for people to be optimistic about them.
Because both of Manchester United's central defenders have excellent air defense capabilities, it is probably not a good choice for Bayern Munich...
Vidic is 1.89 meters tall and has an excellent header.
Leo Ferdinand is 1.88 meters tall and also has an excellent header.
With these two central defenders in there, Manchester United basically doesn't have to worry about air defense issues in front of the goal.
Moreover, Bayern Munich lacks the kind of striker who has excellent heading and strong ability to compete for tops.
Lucas Sutton can head the ball, but he is not good at heading. His heading ability can only be considered ordinary among strikers who are good at heading. He is a relatively comprehensive shooter, but the comprehensive meaning is that he is mediocre in any aspect, and no one is particularly outstanding.
Moreover, Lucas Sutton is relatively thin and is only 1.83 meters tall, not too tall. It is very difficult for him to compete for the ball in front of the strong Manchester United centre-back.
Look at the ball just now... He jumped hard, but Vidic easily pushed the ball away from his head...
Lucas Sutton is the only player on Bayern Munich's forward who has excellent headers. If he doesn't do it, let alone others.
From this point of view, it makes sense that experts analyze that Bayern Munich has a high chance of losing...
※※※
Seeing Vidic easily pushing the football back, Manchester United fans in the stands also cheered.
See?
Want to score a goal on our heads? No goal is
Manchester United will win this game
※※※
Bayern Munich has no way to score with headers for the time being. Manchester United is also playing high balls from two sides when attacking.
They also intend to use their headers to break the goal of Bayern Munich.
On the one hand, it is naturally due to the venue, and on the other hand, they have more advantages in heading than Bayern Munich.
England players are good at heading, and they also have Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese is already tall and has excellent bounces. Her heading skills have been tempered at Manchester United in the past two years.
Now his header has become a very threatening offensive approach.
Bayern Munich's high ball was pushed out by Vidic, and Manchester United made a cross from the wing.
Rooney rushed to the front point and took Bayern Munich's central defender Van Biten away.
Cristiano Ronaldo rushed up from the back point and jumped high
Lucio jumped on the spot, but was even shorter than Cristiano Ronaldo in height
Cristiano Ronaldo jumped high and really hit the football.
However, under Lucio's close contact, he did not push the football forward, and the football flew high above the crossbar by him.
But even so, Manchester United's attack is much more threatening than Bayern Munich's.
So there was a burst of exclamations in the stands, and Bayern Munich fans felt their hearts were about to pop out.
Manchester United fans did not feel regret or regret for not making the ball, and they cheered.
They believe that if this momentum continues, Manchester United scores a goal only sooner or later
※※※
"Cristiano Ronaldo just jumped so well. The Portuguese bounce was excellent."
"So before the media compared Rong with Cristiano Ronaldo. In this comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo's heading ability completely beat Rong... This single comparison makes sense."
"Actually, Manchester United's tactics are very simple. They are to let other players cover Cristiano Ronaldo so that he can rush to the goal to head the ball and fight for the top... With Cristiano Ronaldo's heading ability and adding some cover, it is really difficult to defend him..."
"Cristiano Ronaldo is in good shape and is making rapid progress. I think it won't take long to catch up with the achievements Rong has created.
"It's not unreasonable that Cristiano Ronaldo is widely favored now. Compared to Rong, he is indeed more comprehensive. The development trend of football requires players to become more and more comprehensive. From this point of view, the Portuguese is a very modern player..."
"The football world today belongs to young people. Barcelona has Messi, AC Milan has Kaka, Bayern Munich has honor, and Manchester United has Cristiano Ronaldo. In addition, Chelsea's Robben and Arsenal's Fabregas are also talented players who have become famous young. In the future world football world, the most eye-catching thing is bound to be the competition for these young people..."
Commentators from all over the world praised Cristiano Ronaldo's performance.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo was not satisfied with his performance. After the header was not scored, he waved his hands down with his face full of dissatisfaction.
He has high expectations for himself and hopes that this goal can be scored, so he will do this as long as he doesn't score.
Perhaps it is this high standard and strict requirement for himself that has made him progress quickly and become the best player in the Premier League - just before this semi-final, he was just elected as the best player in the Premier League this season.
He did not show any glory yet.
He had made up his mind and would not show mercy in this game.
He wants to completely defeat the glory and let the whole world see that he does what he says
I said that to defeat Glory is to defeat Glory
※※※
The TV broadcast obviously also knew exactly what the biggest highlight of the game was, so after Cristiano Ronaldo performed well, the broadcast immediately gave Glory a close-up.
Cristiano Ronaldo has begun to make efforts, so how will Glory deal with it?
The glory in the close-up was also looking at Cristiano Ronaldo. When Cristiano Ronaldo jumped up to head the ball just now, his expression was a little surprised, but the expression was fleeting and was not captured by the TV broadcast.
Glory was surprised by Cristiano Ronaldo's bounce. He found that the Portuguese bounce was also very good.
No wonder the media said that his header was better than himself...
OK, then let's compare in this game to see who heads the ball better
Rong Guang clenched his fists.
Now he is full of fighting spirit.
If he simply scored with a header, he found it meaningless.
But it makes more sense if you score a goal against a very good opponent who is good at heading.
Rongguang likes such challenging things.
In this kind of challenge, he was able to achieve a great sense of accomplishment.
This sense of accomplishment is second only to making a lot of money...
The glory is coming.
