Chapter 545 lofty goals
Madrid, the capital of Spain.

"Really, I really prefer to play Manchester United." Guardiola spread his hands and said to several assistant coaches: "Although Manchester United is not weak, they are all expected, and Schalke 04 can always make some surprises... ..."

"But 1 to 3, the total score is 3 to 4, it is difficult for Manchester United to pass." Domenech Torrent is Guardiola's assistant coach in the Barcelona B team. Diora's adjutant.

"After watching the first half, I have to admit that you, Josep, were right a while ago." Patrick stared at the notebook full of words on the table, "Even in terms of team strength, Schalke 04 is no better than Schalke [-]. Manchester United are weak."

"The key is the midfielder." Guardiola smiled and bumped Patrick with his elbow. "The combination of your son-in-law and Rakitic can be ranked among the top three in Europe. It is very, very good."

"But I can't tell from this game." Torrent shook his head, "Best played forward, Rakitic retreated to the midfielder position..."

"No, no, this is just a temporary change." Guardiola shook his finger, "Schalke 04 will definitely return to the usual formation in the second half, and Best will definitely retreat."

After a pause, Guardiola turned his head and glanced at Patrick, "I always feel that this is Best's idea..."

"Not likely." Patrick understood Sun Wu's caution, "Jones' position is possible, but it must be Lannick's idea for Best to play forward."

"why?"

"Because this will prevent Raul from starting." Patrick shrugged. "In the Barcelona first team, players from La Masia, except Bojan, have a good relationship with Best. There is always a reason."

Guardiola rubbed his chin in silence.

"Josep, what do you mean..." Torrent asked tentatively: "If Schalke 04 enters the final, there may be a big change in tactics and even formation?"

"En." Guardiola nodded, "Next week, Patrick and I will go to the football game together, and there are two more rounds of the Bundesliga... Coincidentally, Christine is also on the way."

The members of the coaching staff laughed lowly, Patrick was a little embarrassed, and his daughter made a fuss about going to Germany almost every weekend, appearing at the Veltins Arena more than the Nou Camp.

……

The dressing room of the visiting team was full of joy. The score of 3 to 1 has allowed Schalke 04 to advance to the final with one foot. Manchester United must score at least two goals if they want to come back, and they have to keep a clean sheet.

Rangnick lavished praise on all the starters.

Hao Junmin, who opened the scoring first, Jones, who shot a cold arrow, teamed up to send five threatening balls and had a tacit understanding of the two-winged Pecarik and Fuchs, Milito contributed five steals, and Phil, who is like a shit stick Mino... well, the metaphor doesn't sit well with United.

"The formation was recovered in the second half, Hitzelsperger replaced Jones, Best and Rakitic partnered in the midfield, Firmino moved forward..." Lannick explained: "Roberto, don't be stingy about your physical strength , I will make substitutions in due course."

Firmino started the first two games and played the full 90 minutes.

"Artemisia, your task in the second half is to defend. If there is a chance to counterattack and play the ball earlier, it is best to find Best."

After Rangnick arranged the tactics for the second half, he and Sun Wu went to the corner to discuss in a low voice.

"No problem." Sun Wu patted his chest, he knew what Lannick was worried about.

"Langers has warned me that your stamina is close to exhaustion." Rangnick smiled bitterly: "But Schalke 04 cannot do without you. Of course, if you can sweep Manchester United with a big score, I will replace you in advance. of."

"It's unlikely." Sun Wu responded with the same wry smile, "Ferguson has two goals in honor, one is to let Manchester United's top league title surpass Liverpool, and the other is to win the Big Ears Cup again... In the second half, he will Desperately."

"Yeah, we are not Barcelona, ​​and we are not qualified to use pass and possession tactics to defend."

Rangnick's words are not without irony. He is not interested in Guardiola's pass-and-hold ball play that is implemented to the bone. In his opinion, this tactic is difficult to say on offense, but it is "infinitely powerful" on defense... …

"May 5th... There are still 29 days left, more than half a month." Sun Wu changed the subject, "We can start now."

"Well, the relevant tactical discussions have been going on for a long time." Lannick asked curiously: "Although we coincide with each other, I am still very surprised. Best, you seem to have been thinking about how to deal with Barcelona very early."

Sun Wu turned his head slightly and stared into Rangnick's eyes, "A few years ago, Patrick repeatedly suggested that I join Barcelona... Maybe he hasn't given up on this idea now. Barcelona B team coach Enrique once sent me an invitation, but I Refuse to switch to Wolfsburg."

Lannick blinked a little confused.

"I know how good this Barcelona team is." Sun Wu said calmly: "I told Patrick that I would rather beat them than join the best team in the world."

Rangnick was speechless for a moment. If there were no accidents, Barcelona would eliminate Real Madrid and reach the final tomorrow. After all, the first leg was 2-0, and the advantage was too great.

Breaking into the Champions League final for three consecutive years, this is the first time after the restructuring of the Champions League. Barcelona's unique strength has been recognized throughout Europe.

Rangnick was a little speechless. Best, who just joined Wolfsburg, didn't have the fame and strength he has now. At that time, he had already started planning to beat Barcelona... This is really a guy with lofty goals!
"Facing Barcelona in the final, this is pressure and motivation." Sun Wu said slowly: "Raul, who was born in Real Madrid, does not lack such motivation. There is also Milito who was abandoned by Barcelona..."

"At the end of the season, I will leave the Bundesliga."

"Have you found your next home?" Rangnick's expression moved slightly. He also knew that if he won the Champions League, Sun Wu would have no goals in the Bundesliga. If he lost, he would have to leave Schalke 04.

"No, wait until the Champions League final is over." Sun Wu said with a smile: "Just the league championship and the German Cup are not enough. I hope to bring the Big Ears Cup back to the Veltins Arena at the time of parting."

"It's time." Rolf walked over and pointed at his wrist.

"Okay, let's play!" Rangnick clapped his hands, "Hold on for 45 minutes, let's go to Wembley Stadium together!"

Sun Wu was the last to walk out of the locker room, still whispering to Lannick, "Where is Raul?"

"Let's see, if there are no accidents, it will be about 60 minutes." Lannick looked at Farfan who was bouncing in front of him. "Jefferson couldn't help it. He has harassed Rolf three times in the first half."

"Pekarik has a yellow card, Hao Junmin can retreat."

"I'll think about it." Lannick patted Sun Wu's back hard, "Let's play!"

At this time, the Manchester United players walked out of the dressing room with the same flush on their faces... It seems that Ferguson used the hair dryer tactic again.

"Hi, Phil!" Sun Wu took the initiative to wave hello.

But Phil Jones walked past Sun Wu without turning his eyes...
