Chapter 725

"Audience friends, welcome to the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy."

"It's the 2008-09 Champions League final live for you now

"The game is about to start."

"The local temperature in Rome today is good, 23 ℃ and 71% humidity, which is very suitable for the competition environment."

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

"We're welcoming some of the heavyweight guests tonight."

"We can see Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, prime minister from China, German President Horst Kohler, Prime Minister Angela Merkel, British Royal representative Prince William, and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown."

"At the end are UEFA president Platini and Secretary General ivantino

"The warm-up show before the game started."

"There was a chant. It was the voice of Bocelli, a blind tenor from Italy, and the theme song of the famous Hollywood movie Gladiator. The actors played the role of Jupiter, the king of the ancient Roman gods in thunder and lightning."

"A group of well-dressed models came into the stadium holding the St. Brad cup, which represents the fashion country of Italy“

"Bocelli began to sing the original theme music of the Champions League by Handel, and the atmosphere was very strong

"The game is about to start."

"We can see the live TV footage switched to the players' channel. The players of both teams have lined up in the channel and are ready to enter at any time. The referee of the game, busaka from Switzerland, stands at the front

"At the age of 40, busaka is very experienced. His job is the director of a company. He has participated in nearly 80 UEFA matches since his first law enforcement in 1999. So far, he has participated in more than 30 UEFA Champions League matches. He is very experienced."

"This season, busaka has been in charge of five champions league matches, all of which have won or lost in 90 minutes. This season, he has been in charge of one match for Bayern Munich and one game for Manchester United, and both teams have won

"We'll see tonight who the Swiss referee will bring good luck to."

"The two teams walked into the field quickly."

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

"Bayern Munich are still good at taking their own four, three and three formation play, goalkeeper is Germany's new Jinguo foot Neuer, the defensive line is the left side maselo, the right side ram, two centre backs are the combination of jumeiers and Lucio."

"In midfield, Schweinsteiger is behind, bidal and Modric are ahead, and the Trident has not changed. Ribery, Aguero and Robben form the most lethal attack combination in Europe."

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

"Let's see Manchester United again

"Ferguson's game has set up United's traditional 4-2 formation

"The goalkeeper is Dutch veteran Edwin van der Sar, and the defenders are Leighton Baines, Evans, Ferdinand and O'Shea. The Portuguese centre back Pepe received a red card in the second leg of the semi-final and was unfortunately absent from the final. So Ferguson arranged Evans to start the match. It is estimated that this position will be the weakness of Manchester United."

"In midfield, Giggs, Mattic and Carrick are in the middle on the left, Fletcher on the right, and Tevez and Rooney are the two forwards in the front

"Ferguson has hidden Berbatov, turned to let Tevez and Rooney form a double forward, and in the middle of the four players, the intention is very obvious, he is to use the midfield to suppress Bayern Munich in this game

…………

…………

Gao Han was in front of the coach of the home team. When he saw United's starting line-up, his first reaction was the same as everyone else. Ferguson wanted to use the number advantage to suppress Bayern Munich's midfield.

"The old man still won't stick to it." Gao Han praised with a smile.

He knows Ferguson very well and he knows the temperament of the Scot.

When facing Barcelona last year, Ferguson knew clearly that his team could not fight against opponents, but he just chose to press out. This is absolutely irrational, but it is 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 prove themselves by their achievements. They are more sticking to their football philosophy and philosophy.

It's definitely not what Manchester United insist on, so they would rather lose the game than go out.

It's the same with this game.

What's more, his choice is not unreasonable.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Bayern Munich's players are all participating in the Champions League final for the first time. Manchester United's attack at the beginning may upset Bayern Munich's team?

As for the risk, Ferguson must have thought about it, so he won Berbatov and arranged four games.

The only surprise is that Scholes didn't start and is expected to play as a surprise.

When Gao Han thought of it, he couldn't help getting excited.

That's what he knows about Ferguson.

That's what makes the Champions League final interesting.

"Be careful, guys. Keep your feet firm in the beginning. Take your time. Don't rush. Don't mess. Do you understand?"

Gao Han quickly came to the edge of the field and yelled at the players.

The players on the field also heard his shouts and nodded.

…………

…………

For last season's final, Ferguson has always been bitter.

There must be some regrets. After all, I lost in the final, but if you want to envy me, it's absolutely not.

As an experienced manager, Ferguson had anticipated all kinds of possibilities before the game.

He knows better than anyone that if he is on the defensive, he will definitely have to play that game, at least it's hard to predict the outcome.

United are not without defense, but Ferguson has always believed that it is not what United should insist on to retreat to the penalty area and take a defensive strategy.

Bravery has always been his most important team trait.

So, he has always insisted that the team use what he is good at, positive way to create better results.

If you go against what you insist on, what's the point of achieving good results?

So, in that game, he chose to press out.

This game is the same!

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

Just like Bocelli's Gladiator, only one team can leave the arena with glory.

"Tell them to attack after the opening, fight for a boost and kill the opponent!"

Ferguson said in a loud voice.

…………

…………

With the whistle of chief referee busaka, the Champions League final has finally begun.

United took the lead in getting the kick-off.

At the beginning of the game, the Red Devils quickly kicked the ball and then directly passed it to the back court, but the players in the front court rushed forward quickly. The two strikers were more like two sharp blades and killed Bayern Munich's goal directly.

The Bundesliga giants also retreated quickly, especially the back line headed by Lucio and jumeles, retreated directly to the front of the penalty area, but the Red Devils came fiercely, and the ball quickly reached the midfield.

Carrick took the ball and then moved to his left rib. Giggs took the ball and went to the middle. However, when he entered the 30 meter area, he was tripped by the trailing midfield Schweinsteiger and the referee's whistle immediately sounded.

It was the first foul of the game and United got a set piece from the front.

Less than a minute into the opening, a set piece was created and the United fans in the stands were very excited.

Giggs and Rooney respectively stood on both sides of the free throw spot, which was far away from the goal, with a full distance of 30 meters. It was not possible to hit the goal directly, so Bayern Munich were more defensive against Manchester United players.

But unexpectedly, Giggs suddenly sent out a fast curve ball, with a strong rotation, straight to the goal.

Noyle made a quick judgment and stretched out his hands to hold the ball, but unexpectedly he let it go.

This sudden change made the whole forbidden area a riot, and the stands even more screamed.

Tevez quickly catch up, snatch in front of everyone to pick up the leak to make up the shot, but jumeles flies to the ground and blocks Tevez's foot to make up the shot out of the goal.

The entire Olympic Stadium breathed at this time.

Neumann apologetically raised his hand to his teammates, saying that this dangerous situation was caused by his own mistakes. He looked a little nervous, while captain ram, Schweinsteiger, humales and other teammates went to comfort him one after another.

Alpine in the field is also hard to clap, sure the players perform well, don't worry, take your time.

Giggs ran to the corner, but this time, the corner he sent off was rushed out of the goal by Noel, leaped high and snatched from the air before everyone else. It didn't give Manchester United any chance to threaten the goal.

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

Bayern Munich quickly sent the goal ball, Neuer gave the ball to right back ram, but Manchester United didn't seem to want to retreat, and still launched a fierce attack on Bayern Munich in the front court.

Two strikers, four midfielders, Manchester United's front court force is very strong, Ferguson can be said to be under the full capital.

Bayern Munich had been playing with caution at the beginning of the game. The players took part in the Champions League final for the first time and were mainly stable, so they were soon suppressed by Manchester United. The Red Devils used their own pressure and active running to make it difficult for Bayern Munich to spread out their pass control. They often made mistakes after passing two or three passes.

However, Bayern Munich are also very well-organized in defense. Once they lose the ball, they immediately form a careful level of defense and will not give Manchester United a chance to really threaten the goal.

It wasn't until the sixth minute that United got another chance.

It was Tevez's long-range shot 30 meters away from the goal that slightly missed the goal, but it made Bayern Munich up and down in a cold sweat.

The Manchester United players were very aggressive after the opening.

Bayern Munich's centre back pass control is very skilled, two centre backs have a strong ability to give the ball, so Ferguson arranged Tevez and Rooney to press the two centre backs at the same time, and made Mattic's position more forward, pressing Schweinsteiger.

This close to man-to-man regional closing down, coupled with Manchester United players' abundant physical strength at the beginning, makes Bayern Munich really feel a headache. The ball is even difficult to pass to the front court, let alone a threat.

Gao has been psychologically prepared for such a start. In fact, Ferguson used it against Barcelona as early as last season, but Barcelona reacted quickly and attacked it.

So this time, he won Berbatov, on Fletcher, with four midfielders and two strikers at the same time.

This makes Gao Han have to admire, Ferguson on Manchester United's training, understanding of tactics, really extraordinary, how to play can play a new trick.

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

But in the cold thinking about countermeasures, ready to adjust, the field suddenly changed.

Manchester United left back Leighton Baines suddenly forward, Giggs with the ball to kill Bayern Munich's right rib, attracted the attention of Rahm and other defensive players, suddenly back to the left.

Leighton Byrnes without thinking, left foot rub out a pass, the ball into the penalty area.

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

The ball went straight to the goal.

All the Bayern Munich fans were shocked.
