Chapter 1098 The old man and the old master

"Hello, audience friends, this is BT Sport, I'm your old friend Trike, and it's my old partner Nori who is explaining the game with me today."

"After the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the four teams with the best performances this season will meet in the semi-finals of the Champions League. The game we are broadcasting live today is the first round of the Champions League semi-finals. King Manchester United!"

"Recently, both Manchester United and Bayern are in very good form. Both teams have won their respective league championships ahead of schedule, and they have also successfully advanced to the domestic cup competition. Now the most important goal of both sides is to compete for the Champions League title."

"Heynckes formed a 4-4-2 formation in this game: the goalkeeper is Neuer; the defense is Boateng and Hummels partnering central defenders, and Alaba and Rafinha are on the left and right; Martinez and Vidal are in the middle of the midfield, Robben and Ribery are separated on the left and right; the two centers are Muller and Rooney. The substitutes are Ulreich, Sule, Bernat, Thiago, Tolisso , Ronaldo, Coman."

“虽然说这个赛季拜仁也使用过4-4-2的阵型，但是他们用的最多的还是4-5-1，看来今天海因克斯的战术打法会有一些变化，让我们拭目以待。”

"On the Manchester United side, Kintag still has a 4-3-3 formation: the goalkeeper is De Gea; the defense is a combination of Van Dijk and Coulibaly partnering central defenders, and on the left and right are Alonso and Kimi. Xi; the midfielders are Kanter, Kroos and De Bruyne; the two wingers Sane and Mbappe are on the left and the right; Griezmann is in the center position. The substitutes are Romero and Ashley Young , Valencia, Carrick, Lingard, Alli, Martial."

"Manchester United have had a lot of injuries recently. Bailey, Lewandowski and Salah are still recovering from their injuries. Nainggolan was injured in the game against Arsenal and had to rest for a while. According to Manchester United internal sources , Nainggolan and Salah may come back in the next round, but Lewandowski and Bailly still need to rest for a while."

"Manchester United are on full fire this season, and they are unbeaten so far! They are definitely the hottest team in Europe. Can Bayern take advantage of the home court in this game and tear apart Manchester United's defense?"

"With the whistle of the referee, the game begins!"

"Bayern kicks off first in this game! Let's see how Bayern's players position in midfield?"

"Although in the list reported before the game, Bayern wrote that the midfield was parallel, but we saw that the scene was different. Martinez and Vidal formed a double midfielder, firmly guarding their own half. field; while Robben and Ribéry pressed higher, wandering between the positions of the winger and the winger."

"Ribery dribbles past Kroos' defense! His speed and dribbling are superb!"

"Alonso stepped forward to block Ribery, and Kante also came to defend! Ribery suddenly dribbled the ball to overtake and rushed to the baseline!"

"Cross from the bottom! Rooney plugs in from the back row and heads the ball to the top!"

"The ball was saved by De Gea! This ball is so dangerous!"

"If it weren't for De Gea's brave performance, Manchester United would have conceded the goal at the beginning!"

After saving Rooney's header, De Gea was terrified. He shook his numb wrist. Rooney's header just now was extremely powerful.

And Coulibaly and Van Dijk did not expect that Rooney inserted the header so quickly, so that they did not react.

At this time, the Manchester United coaching staff on the sidelines were also in a cold sweat.

Phelan let out a long breath: "It's really dangerous! I almost lost the ball!"

Jin Taige also frowned: "Even at the age of 32, Rooney's impact is still top-notch."

Looking at Rooney on the pitch, Scholes recalled in his mind many years ago, the Lu Xiaopang who made his debut from Everton and newly joined Manchester United, the impactful man who was once called "Manchester United" with Ronaldo. Gemini "England genius.

Although Bayern played a 4-4-2 formation in this game, they still have some changes in the midfield.Rooney, in particular, often appeared in the Manchester United penalty area at the same time as Muller, and sometimes returned to the penalty area to cooperate with Robery's combination, and his tactical changes were very flexible.From this point of view, although Bayern played a 4-4-2 formation, with Rooney's recovery, the formation often changed to 4-5-1, and the seamless switching between the two formations caused great harm to Manchester United players. pressure.

On Manchester United's side, although their defensive pressure is not small, they still maintain a continuous and fast offense.

Unlike Bayern's main attack on the wing, Manchester United's offensive starting point is all in the center.

In addition to Rooney, Kroos, who also faced his old owner, was also in a brave state today.In the fight with Martinez just now, Kroos, who has always been physically weak, risked being kicked, forcibly squeezed Martinez away, and passed a wonderful through ball.

Although Griezmann's shot did not score, it also made it very difficult for Neuer to save.

Griezmann got up from the ground, and he gave a thumbs up to Kroos who passed the ball.

Seeing the good performances of Kroos and Rooney, Trick in the live broadcast room was very emotional.

"Both Kroos and Rooney faced their old clubs today, and they both performed very well in the opening stage. Both of them have left their old clubs for 4 years, and they are also doing well in the current team. This is actually very interesting. The respective teams can’t start, but they are all indispensable when they come to the new team. Maybe it’s really a foreign monk who can chant scriptures?”

Norrie also praised the performance of the two: "Now the game has been going on for 15 minutes, and the two teams are attacking and defending each other. However, it can be clearly seen in this game that Rooney and Kroos are the core of their respective teams' offense. "

"On Bayern's side, Rooney has created opportunities many times through his large-scale running. His position today is to switch between the striker and the attacking midfielder, which makes Manchester United's defensive players very uncomfortable. As long as Kante is close to him to mark, he immediately Just give the ball to Robben or Ribery and let the attack go from the wing, which makes Manchester United's defense a bit exhausted. And Alonso and Kimmich defended against Robben or Ribery alone It’s all a little hard.”

"Look at this opportunity! After Rooney and Robben cooperated, Rooney's pass found Muller! Van Dijk took the first kick and poked the ball out of the baseline! It was a corner kick!"

"Franck Ribery took a corner kick! Found Rooney in front of the penalty area again!"

"Rooney's header, the ball just goes wide of the goal!"

"Bayern's wing attack is simple and clear, that is, through Robery's wing attack, Rooney is cruising in the frontcourt. In this game, Rooney is definitely a key figure in Bayern's frontcourt!"
