When the players of the two teams were led out of the tunnel by the referee Pedro Proenca from Portugal, the assistants had already appeared. Gao Shen stood alone on the steps of the tunnel, looking at the "hole" in the distance.
”.
There is a whole new world outside!
People were coming and going around, but no one came forward to disturb Gao Shen.
The decisive battle is approaching, and no one knows whether Gao Shen is thinking about something important at this moment.
In fact, the profound feeling is more emotional.
From Real Madrid to Naples and now Manchester City, time flies really fast.
In the past few years, he almost never stopped to take a break and was busy every day.
The life was very compact and fulfilling, but now looking back, he suddenly felt something.
time flies!
I started to feel emotional.
Are you getting old?
…
"Hey Gao, welcome to the Allianz Arena!"
As soon as Gao Shen walked out of the players' tunnel, his ears were filled with the roar of the tsunami coming from the scene. Next to him came Heynckes's hearty laughter and the friendly patting on the shoulder by the old German man.
The two of them have actually known each other for a long time and can chat with each other, but this old man feels a bit familiar.
In his words, he likes communicating with young people the most.
Damn it, Gao Shen felt a chill when I first heard it.
Mu Xiu Kai!
"Please, we are at home tonight, okay?" Gao Shen pointed at Heynckes and corrected him.
The old German man didn't care, "What's yours, what's ours, it belongs to everyone tonight."
Damn, that makes sense.
"Hey, you are in a good mood tonight, aren't you worried?" Gao Shen was a little confused.
"Worry, why not worry, but what's the use?" Heynckes asked with a smile.
From beginning to end, he was smiling and seemed to be in a really good mood.
"I'm guessing, did you get Bayern's contract extension?" Gao Shen asked tentatively.
Heynckes laughed, "Do you think I am this kind of person?"
Look at you like that, nine times out of ten, it is!
"Don't get close to me, I will never let you go tonight." Gao Shen threatened.
"Then you have to be careful, I'm not a vegetarian either." Heynckes pointed his finger at Maimang.
Gao Shen was obviously stunned for a moment, this old man was quite confident.
has a problem.
…
Bayern's starting lineup is exactly as Gao Shen expected.
The only adjustment was made to Contento's left back, as teenager Alaba was suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards.
Bayern's top management also made suggestions to UEFA before, believing that there should be a rule to clear yellow cards before the Champions League final, which received strong support from Gao Shen.
Although Manchester City will use all their main players in this game, they are just in case.
In fact, this is the benefit of having a strong bench.
Gao Shen can arrange players to rotate and adjust when the game is about the same to avoid yellow cards and suspensions.
Of course, players can also be asked to use a more technical method to obtain cards and suspend the game early.
Mourinho's method is too rough. It's just a barefaced violation of UEFA rules. This seriously lacks technical content and is something a senior would never do.
We are gentlemen, so we will do what gentlemen should do!
"Pay close attention to Bayern's actions after the start." Gao Shen walked to the coach's bench and warned Carlos Vargas.
"Understood." The chief analyst immediately went to arrange the task.
At this moment, in the stands of the Allianz Arena, there are also staff from the Manchester City analysis team working.
"Is there any problem?" Carlo came over and asked worriedly.
He has always been very cautious, which is a good thing, but sometimes he can even appear to be extremely timid.
This kind of personality is suitable as an assistant, as he can check for deficiencies and avoid being overheated at critical moments, but he is not suitable as a head coach.
The head coach is the backbone of a team and must not be weak!
Gao Shen even suspected that Heynckes' enthusiasm for him was deliberately put on display, just to let Bayern's players know that he, the head coach, could still talk and laugh happily and be confident when facing Gao Shen.
Did you see it?
This is full of drama!
…
Manchester City's starting lineup tonight also has no suspense.
Goalkeeper: Neuer.
Defence: Felipe, David Luiz, Kompany and Lichtsteiner.
Midfield: Javi Martinez goes deep, David Silva and Rakitic go forward.
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Suarez and Robben.
The game kicked off first with Manchester City.
After Suarez and Gareth Bale kicked off the ball, they quickly kicked back and passed directly to the back line.
As a result, Bayern's frontcourt players pressed as fast as possible. After David Luiz stopped the ball, before Gomez could get close, he directly passed the ball long and wanted to find Suarez in front.
But the ball was headed back by Van Buyten.
Manchester City controlled the second goal, but Bayern launched a fierce press near the center line and successfully intercepted the ball, passed it to the left wing, and handed it to Ribery.
The French scarface dribbled the ball forward, passed the center line, and passed the ball diagonally to Toni Kroos.
Javi Martinez quickly approached, blocked Toni Kroos with his body, and then stabbed him with his foot.
Rakitic quickly knocked Lichtsteiner back, crossed Kompany, and then passed to David Luiz...
Manchester City's continuous passes quickly moved the ball out of the dangerous area.
Bayern's players are still pressing forward.
After Manchester City's entire formation was stretched out, Bayern's pressing did not have the expected effect due to its skillful passing and cutting skills, but the German team still exerted pressure in the midfield and frontcourt.
…
Gao Shen always stood on the sidelines and watched silently.
His two wing strategies have been adjusted tonight.
Gareth Bale's side retreated relatively deep, mainly because of Ram's late penetration.
Thomas Muller's movement without the ball is really strong, Felipe needs to spend a lot of energy on him, and Lahm's back-breaking will be very deadly.
This is also one of Bayern's trump cards this season, and Lahm performed very well.
In this case, Gao Shen chose to move Gareth Bale's position back, which can not only take advantage of his speed, but also help defend Felipe and contain Lahm.
But on the right side, Robben is further forward, while Rakitic is positioned relatively behind.
Toni Kroos is a very contradictory player and has not yet found the position that best suits him. However, when he performed best at Leverkusen, he actually played in the left midfielder position.
In this position, he dominates the entire midfield and frontcourt offense and organization of the pharmaceutical company.
This was also the position specially created for him by Leverkusen coach Heynckes at the time.
But in Bayern, it is impossible for him to play this position or play such a role because of Ribery.
Moreover, in Bayern's 4-2-3 formation, there is no left midfielder position.
But Toni Kroos will still often appear in this area, cooperating with Ribery, so Gao Shen asked Rakitic to sit deeper, which also provided defense protection for Lichtsteiner.
With the presence of Rakitic, Lichtsteiner can be more determined and confident when necessary.
The point that Gao Shen wants to focus on tonight is Contento!
…
After the opening, Manchester City did not adopt a slow and slow approach to possession of the ball, but increased the pace very quickly.
The transition between offense and defense was also very fast, with the ball changing hands back and forth.
But overall, Manchester City's defense and midfield interception are better.
And it's mainly near the midline.
As soon as Bayern's ball reaches near the midline, it immediately enters Manchester City's encirclement and suppression area.
The Bundesliga team has never been able to find an effective way to advance, so they can only frequently pass long passes to find Gomez's point, hoping to take advantage of Gomez's advantages and create a threat in the frontcourt.
In the sixth minute, Bayern was on the right. Lahm and Thomas Muller failed to cooperate and were forced to pass back by Manchester City's defensive players. Tymoshchuk made a long pass to find Gomez.
As a result, Javi Martinez relied on his strong body to control the first landing point and headed the ball back to the midfield.
David Silva stopped the ball with his chest on the left side of the center circle in his own half.
Gustavo immediately rushed behind David Silva and kept squeezing with his body, trying to grab the ball. In the end, he pressed forward with his whole body and directly crushed David Silva from behind.
Silva.
But the Spanish youngster is not tall and not strong, but he is very skilled with his feet. Even when his body is pressed to the ground, he still holds the ball under him, gets up quickly, and kicks the ball to the right side.
After reaching the center line, it was passed directly to Robben in front.
The referee Proenka was about to blow his whistle when he saw Manchester City counterattacking and immediately gave up the whistle.
The principle of advantageous attack.
Manchester City's counterattack was very fast.
Almost as soon as Robben stopped the ball, the entire midfield and frontcourt players had already started sprinting.
"This is Manchester City's signature counterattack."
"The investment is very determined, look at Manchester City's attack this time."
"Robben advanced with the ball, attracted the attention of the defense, and tried to go inside."
"David Silva came up to take over, and the two players looked like they were going to cooperate."
"Suddenly the ball went to the right outside line."
"Bayern's right wing is empty."
"Lichtsteiner comes up, Contento goes to defend..."
Manchester City's right back stepped forward to stop the ball and glanced at the penalty area.
At this time, Robben was standing on the right side of the front edge of the penalty area, but there were two defensive players around him.
Suarez just broke into the penalty area, but both central defenders were in front of him.
Gareth Bale's position is similar to Suarez's, but he is closer to the left and there is only Ram next to him.
Bastian Schweinsteiger is guarding David Silva from the outside.
After Gustavo made a foul on David Silva just now, he also lost his balance and was still at the back.
The whole situation can be said to be clear at a glance.
After Lichsteiner took a look, before Contento could get closer, he opened his stance and quickly sent a 45-degree diagonal pass with his right foot.
The ball passed through a high parabola from the right side of the penalty area, passed everyone in the penalty area, and landed at the back point of the small penalty area.
"Danger!
!”
Everyone is aware of it, including Heynckes, including the Bayern players.
Who's next?
Ram is only 1.7 meters tall!
What he faced was Gareth Bale, who was astonishingly fast, 1.85 meters tall, and very physically strong!
Sure enough, as soon as Lichtsteiner passed the ball, Gareth Bale suddenly accelerated, knocked away Lahm, rushed to the left side of the small penalty area, and jumped high to meet Lichtsteiner's pass.
Passed the ball and headed directly into the far corner.
After goalkeeper Butt saw a diagonal pass from Manchester City, he immediately sensed the danger and ran from the right side of the goal to the left. As a result, Gareth Bale hit a far corner and the ball ran to the right again.
Bute tried his best to adjust and throw out as much as possible, but it was impossible to stop it.
