Chapter 1206 Finally Advances (two in one chapter)

In Madrid, at the Valdebebas training base, Zidane, who was working overtime in the office watching the game, stood up straight away, rubbing his bald head with exceptional strength.

The team currently leads Atletico Madrid 2:1 and has the upper hand in the two rounds of competition. Although the next game is going to Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, Zidane has no doubt that the team can pass the test smoothly.

Who is the boss of the Madrid region?

Of course Real Madrid!

Not only the depth of the lineup, but in terms of public opinion offensive and fan base, Real Madrid's century-old background and experience accumulated from ten Champions League trophies are not given in vain.Zidane is more concerned about the Champions League final.

The hottest topic in Madrid right now is: Can Zidane defend against Zhou Tiancheng?
In the player era, Zidane is a well-deserved midfielder. It stands to reason that Zidane should have an advantage when facing similar people. Strong, but what about stepping onto the coaching bench?The bloody abuse by the national team in the World Cup in South Africa is proof.And Blanco, the current coach of Greater Paris, can only prove that he is a master of abuse.

Zidane is much better, but in order to really enter the ranks of famous coaches, he needs the honor of his coaching career, and he needs a real peak match to prove himself.

To be honest, Zidane doesn't have any confidence at all. He was the top midfielder in the last ten years. Naturally, he can see Zhou Tiancheng's strength. So many coaches can't do anything about him, and he won't complain about the loss. .

Originally, he had been thinking about giving up part of the offense to ensure the balance of offense and defense in the midfield... If the team meets Manchester United at San Siro, I am afraid it can only be done.

Zidane originally thought so, but when he saw Zhou Tiancheng being carried down on a stretcher, he jumped up suddenly, touched his head, showed a very meaningful smile, and turned to look at himself Halfway through the tactical filing, he said to himself, "Maybe...it's unnecessary."

Throwing this ball of paper into the garbage bag in a hurry, Zidane had to change his thinking, and he began to make the best plan-if Zhou Tiancheng couldn't play, what fear would there be for Manchester United?Defensive counterattack?To hell with it!

Also in a certain building in the villa area of ​​Madrid, Simeone stared at the semi-finals, thought for a while, and called his assistant coach Boggs.

"Germain, from now on, pay close attention to Zhou Tiancheng's injury situation, whether he can play in the final, our news cannot be behind anyone."

The other side was stunned: "Diego, shouldn't we focus on Real Madrid now? Manchester United..."

"Damn it! Germain, we have an away goal, and I don't believe we can't beat those nobles who can only show off their skills at home. Do you think so?"

"Uh..." Boggs on the opposite side was embarrassed. He understood Simeone's temper. When he became stubborn, he was the only God, and all he could do was compromise: "Okay, Diego, I will actively follow up."

……

Mourinho did not dare to neglect, Zhou Tiancheng was sent to the field ambulance as soon as he was carried off the field.

Although Zhou Tiancheng repeatedly stated that he didn't need it: "Boss, it's not that serious at all. Hehe, I obey the club's arrangement, but at least wait until the end of the game? If you do this, those reporters will definitely have something to talk about."

In fact, Zhou Tiancheng's thinking was more straightforward. If he was put in an ambulance, the brothers on the field would definitely think that he was serious. Zhou Tiancheng didn't want to add psychological burden to his teammates.

But Mourinho is even more serious: "This matter has not been discussed, Zhou, this is the team's decision, the final decision, other issues are not your concern, if you still want to play in the final."

Zhou Tiancheng stared at Mourinho helplessly, but he quickly gave up. Mourinho's eyes were firm and full of unquestionable attitude.Different from Klopp's half-joking seriousness at the beginning, Zhou Tiancheng knew that Mourinho was real-a person who could say "here I am God" in front of Real Madrid stars, I can guarantee him Really can't do it?

Seeing the ambulance drive away slowly, everyone is convinced, it's a solid hammer.

Yang Cheng's tone showed obvious concern: "It seems that Zhou Tiancheng's injury is not as serious as usual. May God bless him... I hope we can see him again in the final."

He Wei paid more attention to the field: "Herrera is about to play, Mourinho must defend the result no matter what, and at the same time plan ahead, in case this is the case in the final... Ha, of course it is only the most pessimistic One assumption is that the final is also facing this situation, no matter whether the opponent is Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, Mourinho may not have more choices."

Of course, there are commentaries, of course, the commentary of Manchester United TV questioned Mourinho's tactical arrangements: "What is Jose Mourinho doing? Ander Herrera? Could it be that he forgot Schweinsteiger? Is there a better choice at this time than the midfielder who is most familiar with Bayern? Let us boldly speculate that Mourinho may have been dazzled by this sudden change. This substitution is definitely not for offense, but just Came for revenge, but that should be the motivation for the players to get revenge."

In Manchester, however, many fans disagree.

"Bullshit! Can we just do nothing? We are also a member of Manchester United!"

"It's definitely not accidental that Zhou was treated so cruelly. Those Germans definitely wanted to do it! Huh, they are not good birds."

"Old Pete, there is finally one thing we can agree on." A fan who was over 60 years old put down his glass, stood up and yelled: "Young boys, my uncle is going to Old Trafford to give those Germans Let me teach you a lesson, who wants to work with me?"

Immediately, a few strong and round people jumped out to express their interest.Two things that England fans love to do most: stout with casserole-sized fists.Not to mention the Germans.

There are old grievances between Britain and Germany, just like between China and Japan, the fierce confrontation on the football field can always be extended to various topics other than football.

……

On the field, the Manchester United players face real problems. For the next eight to ten minutes, they will lack a core.And it is a tower that they have almost formed a thinking dependence on, and it seems to them that it will hardly fall down.With this tower, they just need to cooperate and follow the correct guidance to win one victory after another.

But now that Zhou Tiancheng is injured and the tower is down, the Bayern players are like hunters looking for a fighter, and directly press the formation up, even Harvey Martinez rushed up with the ball.

However, his passing ability is indeed a little worse, even with Lewandowski's starting speed, he can't catch up with the ball.

In this regard, Harvey Martinez is indeed a bit worse, and Guardiola is about to make a substitution.

Zhou Tiancheng's old acquaintance Ge Ce is also on the field, and Kimmich started to play as a single midfielder. This is an obvious signal, and Xavi Alonso is also warming up.

Mourinho's face is a bit ugly. Facing the desperate Bayern, if the team continues like this, what will the scene be like?

He doesn't doubt that he can still win by playing like this, but is it enough just to win?

This is to be expected, Mourinho never wanted his own team to be beaten like a dog.Even if he can drive the bus sometimes.

It's his own choice to ride the bus, seeking active contraction, and being beaten passively by the team are two different things...

At this time, Rooney is the only one he can rely on.

In fact, it was Rooney who called the players together on the field. To be honest, he was very uncomfortable. Although he wore the captain's armband, he often did not perform his duties as the captain. Zhou Tiancheng was more competent than him.

And now it was clear that this kind of thing was about to fall on his head.

"Guys, listen to me." Rooney cleared his throat and made his next speech more formal, hoping that everyone could listen to it.

"Wayne, don't dawdle, do you think you are Zhou? Hahaha!" Fellaini broke the stage when he came up, and he has the confidence to support Zhou Tiancheng more. If Zhou Tiancheng is here, what will he do now?

Well, if he was there, it would be impossible for this to happen.Even if Zhou Tiancheng wanted to say it, what would he say?
Fellaini probably understands now. To be honest, for the once popular king in the hearts of Manchester United fans, he no longer has the mentality of a rookie looking up to a boss.

Why do you say it was once the king of popularity?Now let him compare with Zhou Tiancheng, launch a selection of "Who is the number one star of Manchester United in your mind", Rooney may not be able to compete with Zhou Tiancheng, after all, he has played in this stadium for more than ten years, he does not have his own Exclusive song treatment.

"Hey, guys, now is our chance, we should do something." Rooney greeted several people together, and then said: "We can't retreat to defend now, understand? I'm sure Bayern must think so too , They are just waiting for us to do this! So we can’t give them a chance!”

"Hahahaha..." Before Rooney finished speaking, Fellaini was already laughing.

"What's so funny, Marouan, does this make you happy?

"No, no, it's just too uncreative, Wayne, this is Zhou's exclusive, now...you ask them how they feel."

Rooney looked around, and many people were holding back their laughter, but they didn't show it.

"Damn, shouldn't we do this?" Rooney frowned. "Now the boss asks us to do this. Guys, if you have any opinions, you can talk to the boss."

Many teammates curled their lips and looked at Rooney with disdain.Only in this case, of course.

Rooney really felt very disappointed, but he could only spread his hands and smile bitterly. At this time, his leadership was indeed much weaker than that of Zhou Tiancheng.

Mourinho also saw this problem, so he has been giving instructions on the sidelines.Although it is destined to be impossible to hear because of the atmosphere in the venue.

Rui Faria was a little helpless, he directly pulled Mourinho over: "Jose, are you sure this is okay? Don't think you can change everything."

Mourinho didn't care about the assistant's reminder at all: "I didn't think about it at all, Rui. But these boys have to show me that we can win without Zhou, otherwise how can we play Real Madrid?"

"Do you really feel that Zhou can't play? Jose, this is a very serious matter."

Mourinho spread his hands: "Otherwise, what should we do? What can we do about such a thing? Ask Steve to keep an eye on me. We hope God can bless Zhou."

"Jose, aren't you the least believer in God? You often say that you are God. Haha..." Rui Faria has no pressure and has a relaxed mind, joking about what Mourinho often teaches the players.

"Ruy, the requirements can't be so high, you can expect me, a football coach, to get a doctor of medicine like Steve, what do you think?"

In fact, Mourinho's mentality is far from being as relaxed as Rui Faria's assistant coach. Although the result is no problem, at this time he is more demanding of the process.Without Zhou Tiancheng, this team must at least perform as before, so that he has the confidence to face Real Madrid's luxurious offensive line, or Atletico Madrid's ubiquitous overall defense line.

The midfielder was decompressed like never before, and Bayern's strong field control ability and on-the-spot acceleration ability were also demonstrated to the greatest extent. Robben and Ribery began to move closer to the center frequently, and Bayern began to squeeze Manchester United's defense at all costs.

Without Zhou Tiancheng, Herrera, Fellaini and Matic are indeed not enough to watch. Although they can all run, the result is that the three of them were embarrassed enough by Bayern's consecutive kicks and turned around at the front of the penalty area. The speed couldn't keep up with the acceleration of Robben and Ribery.

Mourinho was in a hurry and almost didn't sit down the whole game, is that okay?
That is because of Zhou Tiancheng's accident, so the scene has been very high, and the fans seem to have no high demands on the team.

But in fact, it can be seen from the attitude of the commentator that this game is not easy.

"After losing Zhou, Manchester United also lost the initiative in the midfield. We hope that Zhou can catch up with the Champions League final. This is not just a blessing for him..."

"It's hard to imagine that if this Manchester United team goes to San Siro, whether it's Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, both Madrid teams can see hope."

"GOOOOOOOAL!!! Robben scored the lore! Although Bayern was eliminated, it was not lost to a team, but to a person."

With a total score of 4:1, Manchester United lost the second round, but this did not prevent them from advancing.

Manchester United fans looked anxious as they exited the pitch.

It's not because of breaking the home undefeated golden body of the Champions League. The current overall result is still good, but they are all worried about the next final.

"we lose?"

"Fucking hell, lost to those goddamned Germans!"

"Although this does not hinder our San Siro decisive battle, if Zhou does not recover..."

"Ugh……"

After all, he was promoted, but it didn't mean everything was fine.
