Chapter 186 Can't retreat!
In the next few days of training, Duncan made a very intensive training plan.There are two key points of this training plan. One is the team's defensive synergy. Duncan emphasized that defense is not just about the defensive line, it must start from the forward line!
The second key point is the interspersed movement in the team's offense.Players involved in the offense, including the forward full-backs, must move flexibly to match the attacking rhythm of the team.

Although everyone is exhausted after training every day, lying on the bed just wants to be a dead dog.But I don't know why, the next morning, when everyone came to participate in the training, they were all in high spirits.

And I also have some experience with the content of the training the day before.Then in the next day's repeated training, continue to strengthen these experiences.

In this way, the time slowly arrived the day before the game.

The game time is May 5, but Bayern Munich obviously attaches great importance to it. They came to Manchester two days in advance for field training.

"I have found the weakness of Manchester City. I believe that through the game, I can grasp their weakness and beat them." When Heathfield was interviewed, he was full of confidence in his words.

"Compared with my weakness, what I care more about is that if Mr. Hitzfeld loses this game, how will they face the anger of the German media and Bayern executives when they return to Munich? How dare a player who loses in one round dare to talk nonsense?" Duncan immediately responded, and directly poked Heathfield's chest.

After Heathfield read the report, his complexion was not very good even though the city was very deep.

Duncan is right. Compared with Manchester City, Bayern looks extremely dazzling and powerful, but Bayern's situation is actually very embarrassing.

In the last round of the UEFA Cup, the team relied on Tony's lore in the last minute of overtime in two rounds to barely beat the small La Liga club Getafe.Although the result was good, the team executives were still furious. They thought the team's promotion was too ugly.

In the first round of the UEFA Cup semi-final, Bayern lost again at home. Although it was only a small loss by one goal, many German media still began to sneer.

Moreover, Bayern's tepid style of play made some critical media nickname Bayern Munich the "Old Lady of the Bundesliga".Although this style of play allows Bayern to play at their own pace and will not be brought into Manchester City's rhythm, in the eyes of laymen like the media, it is useless.

So Heathfield's situation is much more embarrassing than Duncan's.

To put it bluntly, Manchester City is just a small team, and winning the league championship is extra lucky. As for the UEFA Cup, the fans are very happy if they don't lose too badly against Bayern.

And Bayern is a giant, they not only want to win, but also win beautifully.

Of course, under objective conditions, Bayern, which is one goal behind, is in a disadvantageous position. If they pretend to control the rhythm and advance the attack slowly, I am afraid that if they lose in the end, the media will not let them go, right?
No, how could I lose?

Heathfield shook his head and shook this thought out of his mind. I came here to win!

This arena is really noisy and disturbing!

Across the door of the locker room, Hitzfeld could hear the noise from outside.

"Okay, everyone is almost ready, let me say a few words..." Heathfield coughed to attract everyone's attention, and then said slowly.

And in the home locker room, Duncan is doing the same thing.

"How do you feel about being a champion?"

"It's so cool!" said Hargreaves.

"It feels like I'm the king of the Premier League!"

"It's even better than going to bed!" Pedro suddenly said loudly.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Is it better to shoot on the court than on the bed, boy!" Trabelsi rubbed Pedro's messy hair and said.

In this game, Tunisia's right back returned from injury, and Manchester City was able to use the strongest lineup.

"Everyone thinks it's cool to win the championship, and so do I!" Duncan glanced at Pedro, and then said, "Pedro, don't become soft on the court because you're so cool on the bed." Leg shrimp!"

"No, coach!" Pedro quickly waved his hand: "I was just a metaphor."

"Everyone knows the feeling of winning the championship is very good, I hope you will remember this feeling!" Duncan's expression became serious: "And now, outside, there is still a European championship waiting for us to fight for! Now you are one of the top players in the Premier League." King, but the trophy outside is the king of Europe! Do you want to be the king of Europe!"

"Think!" The loud and clear voices of the players were neat and loud.

"Very good!" Duncan waved his hand: "The enemy outside is called Bayern Munich. They don't exist to beat us, but when we win the UEFA Cup, someone will raise their thumbs and say, look! Manchester City's The championship is full of gold! Since we can beat Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, there is no reason for us to lose at the City Stadium!"

There was a knock on the door outside, and the staff came to remind Manchester City that they were about to enter the field.

Duncan looked around: "Beat Bayern Munich, stepping on the corpse of a Bundesliga giant to reach the UEFA Cup final, do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

"Very well, let's go!"

Duncan turned around and left the locker room with the coaching staff and substitute players.

The starting players lined up in the player tunnel, ready to enter the field.

Manchester City's championship has also aroused the enthusiasm of the fans. In addition, the opponent in this game is Bayern, so the fans naturally pay more attention.

So in this game, the city stadium was full again, and fans of the home team and the visiting team sat in the stands clearly.

The Manchester police even dispatched riot police to maintain order at the scene.

In this world, apart from England's famous football hooligans, German football hooligans are also ranked top.

Although these fans seem harmless to humans and animals now, who knows if the score on the field will change, will they become football hooligans in a second?
Have to guard against it!
In the player channel, players from both sides wait side by side to enter the field.In the middle of the queue, next to Pedro, happened to be Ribery.Ribery, who has a scarred face, is scary enough to be expressionless.

Possibly bored, Ribery turned and grinned at Pedro.

With the scar on his face, it looks quite scary.

Ribery knows that Pedro is a Spanish player who has performed well in Manchester City recently, but his personality is a bit introverted.So intentionally or unintentionally, it was meant to scare him a little bit.

Pedro gave Ribery a cold look, and suddenly raised his right hand. He knew that there was a camera watching, so he made a "wiping his neck" in a very subtle way.

Ribery immediately froze, and his playful eyes became sharper.

Is this kid crazy?

He was about to step forward, but when he saw the camera coming, he could only hold back.

Boy, don't let me see you on the court!
The two sides enter the field, then play the national anthem, choose sides, exchange team flags, and the players take their positions.

The atmosphere at the scene slowly rose.

The referee blew his whistle and the game started.

From the first minute of the game, it entered a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle!
Without the sluggish control rhythm of the previous round, look for space.The rest is just a head-to-head fight!
Both teams are like self-propelled gunships, moving as they run.

away attack!

This is the choice Hitzfeld made under subjective and objective conditions.

He has no reason to retreat!
