Chapter 716

"In the first leg, Manchester United seemed to have lost their home advantage, but they didn't score away. Of course, it's not a good ending, but at least it's not a bad ending. If you want me to say that, it can only be regarded as below average."

When people heard Gao Han say this, they all nodded.

The challenge of the Champions League knockout is to score away goals, which is a very talented rule, even comparable to the offside rule on the football field. It makes every game, even every minute, of the two rounds of the knockout crucial and makes the game full of suspense.

Take Manchester United and Atletico Madrid for example, at first glance, Manchester United's home game is a zero to zero loss, but in fact? On the contrary, United didn't score away.

If you arrive at Calderon stadium, as long as Manchester United score, it will not be a draw. Atletico Madrid must score one more goal than Manchester United to ensure victory. In this case, can the pressure of the bedspread team be reduced?

Even in the second round, does heinks want to attack or defend?

It should be said that no matter how to choose, the risk is still not small, Manchester United still have a great chance.

"In this game, I think Ferguson has been prepared before the game. Giggs is absent, Scholes is not in good condition, and Manchester United's attack is greatly affected. In this case, Ferguson estimates that he is not sure, so he simply chooses a more secure tactical approach to win and keep the score."

People can't believe it. Is that Ferguson's idea?

If it is, it's too risky. After all, who dares to say that he can keep it?

"Of course, this is my hindsight. He may not think so, but he has to do so because of the situation." Alpine explained.

Obviously, the latter explanation is more reasonable.

"The game is like this. If it's me, in the second leg, I'm sure I'll start the attack and try to score a goal. As long as there is one goal, the situation of the game will return to Manchester United."

People nodded when they heard it. This is really the most ideal way.

"However, heinks has a lot of experience, and he will certainly expect that. If he just defends and counterattacks based on this, then Manchester United may not be able to handle it Hoeness analyzed.

Alpine nodded a smile, "indeed, as you said, heinks is likely to do so, and Ferguson is not likely to attack, but I can guarantee that he will stay behind, ready to fight back at any time."

The most important task of Manchester United away is to score. As long as there is a goal, the red devils can completely reverse the original seemingly unfavorable situation, which is also determined by the rules of scoring away from home.

It can be said that in the case of zero to zero in the first leg, whoever scores first in the second leg will have an overwhelming advantage.

Gao is also curious. How will Ferguson and heinks, the two top European coaches, choose?

…………

Different from the neutral analysis of Gao Han and the coaching staff, on the second day of Manchester United's 0-0 draw with Atletico Madrid, almost most of the media were dissatisfied with Manchester United's performance in the first leg and thought that Ferguson's team was very ugly.

Even a lot of media have begun to speculate that Atletico Madrid will be successfully promoted to the final.

This is not only the analysis of the media in other European countries, but also many media in Britain hold the same attitude. Many of them are not optimistic about Manchester United, and even think that it is likely to be a disastrous defeat for Manchester United to visit Calderon stadium in the first leg.

However, both Manchester United and Atletico Madrid seem to be unaffected by the outside world and have not responded to the media.

With the gradual end of the Champions League and major European leagues, European football has become the focus of all people in the world.

After playing the first leg of the semi-finals, Bayern Munich ushered in the 30th round of the Bundesliga, holding the Allianz stadium and ushering in the Monchengladbach.

Due to the second round match in the middle of next week, Gao cold sent the substitute team to play this game, so that the main team could rest in rotation, but still relying on the advantage of the home court, beat Monchengladbach 2-1.

The goals for the Bundesliga giants were scored by levandovsky and Tony cross.

Compared with the Bundesliga championship, the battle between the Premier League and La Liga is still in full swing, especially when Barcelona visit the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid in this century's derby.

Guardiola's team didn't get off to a good start when Real Madrid striker Higuain scored the first goal in the 14th minute.

But it was also the goal that completely awakened Barcelona, who seemed to vent all their grievances against Bayern Munich on Real Madrid.

Henry equalised for Barcelona three minutes later.

But two minutes later, Puyol went to the next city to reverse the score.

Before the end of the first half, Messi scored another goal.

After Yi Bian fought again in the second half, the two teams were still inseparable. The two sides fought against each other. In the end, Barcelona won Real Madrid 6-2 away and washed the Bernabeu.

This one also let three days ago home defeat Barcelona completely restored dignity.

In the words of the media, Guardiola told everyone with a bloody wash that it was not Barcelona who were too weak, but Bayern Munich who were too strong in the battle of nou camp.

If Barcelona is weak, how about Real Madrid, which has been washed 2-6 at home?

But there are also media analysis, Guardiola this battle with all his strength, I'm afraid it is to abandon the Champions League, to protect the league.

At the same time, the other game, Atletico Madrid away challenge Real Betis, heinx's team early goal lead, after half-time early to replace two players, for the week's Champions League stay force, but the sheet Legion still 2-0 beat Real Betis, continue to maintain the impact of the league championship.

When it comes to the Premier League, Manchester United also play as a semi starter and semi substitute. Giggs and Wayne Rooney came back in good shape. In the first half, they helped the Red Devils lead 2-0 and finally beat Middlesbrough 2-0.

After the weekend of the league, once again ushered in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

Unlike a week ago, this time Atletico Madrid played Manchester United at home, while Bayern Munich and Barcelona played one day later.

Alpine also attached great importance to this game. Once again, he arranged his right-hand man Thomas tuhl to go to the Calderon stadium to watch the game in person, and he also sat in the coach's office to watch the game with the management and assistants.

…………

…………

On the evening of May 5, 2009, at the Calderon stadium in Madrid, Spain.

Just a week ago at Old Trafford, the two teams shook hands to make peace, and finally once again launched a decisive battle.

This time, the two teams are also the main force.

As Gao expected, Ferguson's team started to attack from the beginning.

In the first two minutes, Manchester United sent the ball into the restricted area of Atletico Madrid, but Carvalho calmly broke the ball under Rooney's feet and passed it to Torres in front of him, but Torres didn't stop well and missed a single shot back.

But in less than a minute, Manchester United hit the first goal of the game, from Tevez's long-range shot, missed the goal.

Ferguson's calculation was as expected before. He wanted to use the opening attack to win a goal, so he pressed forward and made shooting threats frequently. However, heinks's team was firmly in front of the goal, which was obviously well prepared.

After the opening, the game time is very fast, two teams attack and defend, play hard to separate.

However, in the ninth minute of the game, Manchester United suffered a setback and Atletico Madrid seized the opportunity to fight back.

On the left, Antonio Lopez went straight to the front court with the ball to David Silva.

The Spanish midfield pulled to the left to get the ball, got rid of the defender, and then slanted it to villa, who cut to the foot of the penalty area, who made a straight shot without stopping the ball.

But the ball hit Pepe and bounced back to the front of the big penalty area.

Just at this time, Xabi Alonso suddenly came up from behind and shot at the ball.

With a bang, the ball hit the bottom of the crossbeam and bounced into the goal.

In the face of such a shot, van der Sar can do nothing.

one to naught!

The whole Calderon stadium has become a sea of celebration. Countless fans of the bedspread regiment shout the name of Xabi Alonso to celebrate his goal for the team.

This goal almost changed the trend of the whole game, completely united into the abyss of death.

"It's over, Manchester United is over!" Said henes with a sigh.

Rummenigge also shook his head and said: "it's a pity, but the old man Ferguson's opening tactics are risky."

Sometimes, it's a matter of choice.

Whether we should adopt a more stable defensive tactics or a more aggressive attack tactics has nothing to do with the pros and cons, it just depends on what kind of person is making the choice.

Gao Han also shook his head and wry smile, "heinks is really an old fox. It is expected that Ferguson will attack, so he defends and counterattacks. And look at the counterattack routine just now, it is absolutely practiced before the game."

Rummenigge and Hoeness nodded.

They are very familiar with heinks, know the old man's coaching ability, just did not expect, after a few years in La Liga, the level is more and more fierce.

"However, just a goal, Atletico Madrid can not be careless, so as not to be happy Gao Han said cautiously.

Everyone nodded yes.

A goal is not safe, because as long as Manchester United also score a goal, the outcome of the game will be completely reversed.

After losing a goal in the opening attack, Ferguson seemed to be a bit conservative. Manchester United also began to retreat. It seemed that they had the feeling of avoiding the edge of Atletico Madrid and were mainly defensive.

As soon as the opponent retreated, Atletico Madrid also took the initiative to pass and control the ball, pressing up to look for opportunities.

But heinks seems to have prepared before the game, after a ball in hand, they play more safely, not rashly.

It is the so-called barefoot is not afraid of shoes, there are goals in the hands of Atletico Madrid, how can Manchester United with barefoot stumbling?

After that, the game was a bit dull and didn't create a great chance in the first half.

After Yi Bian fought again in the second half, the situation didn't seem to improve, and the two teams still played the same way in the first half.

But the more so, the colder it is, the tighter it is.

"It's not right. It's not right." The whole people feel very uneasy about the cold.

"What's the problem?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Everyone thought it was strange.

Although this game has nothing to do with Bayern Munich, it may decide who will be the opponent of the team in the Champions League final. It's up to them not to care.

"It's definitely not like Ferguson's style." Alpine shook his head, "to Ferguson's character, he will never give up, but you see, now Manchester United play too passive."

"But isn't it the same as the first round?" Hoeness asked.

The first leg of Manchester United, is not the opponent was unable to move it?

But Gao Han still shakes his head. His years of teaching experience tells us that this is not the case.

"Ferguson is the kind of person who will bite his opponent's ear off even if he is dead. Do you think he will be willing to lose the game like this?"

When people listen to it and think about Manchester United's previous games, they all think Gao's words are reasonable.

But what is Ferguson up to?

There is not much time left. There is only half an hour left in the game. What is he waiting for?

At this time, the situation on the Court changed dramatically.
