Chapter 562 The real contest!
Manchester, Carrington Training Base.

"There's nothing embarrassing to admit." Ferguson touched his nose, although his face was ugly, but he said frankly, "If Manchester United enters the final, it is impossible to place a bus, then the chance of winning is too small..."

Mike Phelan glanced at the boss carefully, but remained silent.

"Best is really outstanding..." Ferguson looked as if he saw a delicious dish that was close at hand but couldn't eat it. "What does Pere say?"

"The tone of refusal is very firm." Mike Phelan said helplessly: "The media speculated that Guardiola's departure from Barcelona is likely to let his brother bring Best..."

Ferguson's big nose became even redder, "It can't be the enmity between Bayern, Best and Hoeness... Serie A is unlikely, it's probably the Premier League."

In another small building at the Carrington base, several Manchester United players were sitting in front of the TV screen and chatting with great interest.

"Seriously, Phil, why doesn't Best refuse to come to Manchester United?" Giggs stared at the screen, "It must be the top salary, high transfer fee, signing fee, plus Manchester United's No. 7 jersey..."

The corner of Phil Jones' mouth twitched. When chatting at Blackburn, Best said he was willing to go to Manchester United, but he refused...

"I don't like him." Evra interrupted suddenly: "There are too many little tricks, he doesn't look like a professional player, but like an actor!"

"Best has two goals in life, one is the Golden Globe Award and the other is the Statue..." Phil Jones explained with a dry smile.

"Patrice, you can't say that." Scholes outside the game was quite friendly, "Although Schalke 04 is not weak, it is really not a giant...even if he has been suppressed for the past few seasons. Living in Bayern, I can only say that Best used everything he could."

"He is a top player who pursues victory and championships." Giggs sighed: "Among the European giants, only Manchester United lacks a world-class organizational midfielder in his prime."

Indeed, Barcelona has Xavi, Real Madrid has Ozil and Xabi Alonso, Bayern has Kroos and Piglets, Chelsea has Lampard, even Arsenal has Cesc Fabregas, and Manchester City has big players. David Silva...

"Phil, you can persuade him again."

Phil Jones only nodded, but smiled bitterly in his heart... Do I say that Best refused to come because Manchester United's head coach is Sir Alex Ferguson?
Although they are rivals in the same city, but with Best in the middle, Phil Jones and Dzeko have a good relationship. Naturally, he knows why Best left Wolfsburg... This is a guy who likes to dictate tactics, and later facts have proved this At this point, this guy has mixed into the coaching staff, and even served as the interim head coach!

"Okay, the second half has begun." Giggs pointed at the screen, "I don't know if Schalke 04 can stand it!"

……

"Di!"

In the second half, Barcelona kicked off the ball. After receiving the ball, Harvey gave it to Iniesta, and then fell down near the center circle. He was not in a hurry to move forward. After Messi caught the ball twice and made a breakthrough to attract Westerman's attention Immediately scored the ball.

Sun Wu immediately raised his vigilance.

The real contest has finally begun!

It is said that Barcelona is the "cosmic team", that Barcelona has dual cores, that Barcelona has creative virtual center tactics, and that Barcelona's high position pressing is unique in the world...

But Barcelona's strongest point is not these.

The strongest thing is...they have the most powerful hypnotic ability in the world!
The whole team, including goalkeeper Valdez, turned into the "inverted team", using frequent inverts and slow running to perform hypnosis, and then at a certain moment, a thunderbolt struck, the opponent was still asleep, and the ball had already rolled into the goal The door is open!

This is the rhythm change that Barcelona is best at. This tactic is unsolvable from a certain point of view, because Barcelona is the best team in the world at possession of the ball. They have the initiative to choose the time and area to launch the fatal blow. .

The most important thing is that this tactic has been implemented in Barcelona for several years, but it was not perfected until Guardiola took office, because Guardiola has a perfect Messi, a breakthrough player who can penetrate the opponent's defense vertically. .

Moreover, the existence of Messi is a deterrent, and he can create a threat without a breakthrough.

Sun Wu and Rangnick have carefully studied the national derby in the first leg of this season, and the second goal scored by Pedro is like this.

11 players, including the goalkeeper, participated in the pass. A total of 37 passes were made before Harvey sent a pick pass.

Although there was no Messi's breakthrough, he retreated and took the ball several times to make a breakthrough, which attracted the attention of Carvalho and Pepe, which directly led to the fragmentation of Real Madrid's defense.

"Neither side has changed, but the position of Barcelona's players has changed."

After watching for a few minutes, Zhan Jun made such a judgment.

"There are indeed changes." Zhang Lu nodded in agreement, "Busquets is moving forward, Mascherano is slightly forward to act as half of the midfielder, and Abidal's position is slightly retracted... It can be regarded as a three-central defense system. .”

"Guardiola's adjustments seem to be working well, Barcelona are more organized than in the first half."

After the opening, Barcelona kept the ball outside and waited for an opportunity. Messi retreated several times to catch the ball, but at most, he shook off Westman and immediately distributed the ball. The whole team was in a state of flow.

This is a hunt. After the training of Guardiola in the midfield locker room, the Barcelona hunter has more patience... To win this game, only one goal is enough!

It wasn't until 56 minutes...a full 10 minutes later that Barcelona launched its first real attack...there had been several consecutive bluffs that made Schalke 04's defense panic.

After nearly twenty passes, Busquets accurately moved the ball on the ground to find Alves. The latter accelerated his feint and suddenly cut inside to shake off Fuchs. He tiptoed the ball to Messi on the penalty area line. , Then he went straight to the bottom line and took Jones away.

But Messi did not choose to break through, but moved back with the outside of his foot, and Xavi, who received the ball, stepped back... Busquets passed a diagonal pass to Iniesta, and Schalke passed the ball with consecutive kicks. 04 Chaos outside the restricted area.

Iniesta faced Milito a change of pace and forced his way into the penalty area. The ball seemed to stick to his right foot, and then he flicked his right foot...

Excellent ball feel and tacit understanding allowed Xiaobai to bounce the ball away with his right foot, and Harvey finally got the ball outside the penalty area without any defense.

"Danger..." Zhan Jun couldn't help roaring.

Harvey swung his right foot and made a shot to deceive Westerman, who was jumping up, and then sent a delicate oblique ball with his toe.

The complex, subtle and tacit teamwork kept the fans in the stands focused... When Messi finally got the ball in the penalty area, cheers began to sound.

"Leon... shot!"

"Oh, it's Neuer again, the German goalkeeper..."

The Spanish commentator put his head in his hands, "This is Barcelona's best chance, the ball is on the line of the small penalty area, and there is no defense... Leon's luck is really bad!"

Jones and Milito, who were brought into the penalty area by Alves and Iniesta, not only made the penalty area empty, but more importantly, let Messi's silent back row plug in and receive Harvey's oblique ball... Messi's bodyguard, Westerman, was attracted by Xavi's fake shot.

Sun Wu, who pushed the ball far away from the boundary with his big feet, took a deep breath with lingering fear, and then pulled Neuer hard, roaring and hugging him tightly.

Milito, Hewedes, and Westermann rushed up to hug Neuer one by one... A beautiful goal can boost morale, and so can a wonderful save!
There was faint applause in the stands, and it became louder and louder... After more than a month, the name Neuer finally appeared in the stands of Schalke 04 fans again.

　It's owed on the weekend, I remember.
