From the man behind the football king to the football king

The home team's locker room was so quiet that only the footsteps of the players could be heard.

It was absolutely unacceptable to be equalized by the opponent when they had the upper hand, but it happened!

What else can we say except to say indignantly that Bayern Munich was so lucky?

Bruno believes that what the team needs most now is not mobilization, but affirmation. The team played very well in the first half. As long as they continue to maintain this pressure, they will definitely have a chance in the second half. But the key is to be patient and not to rush. If you continue to play in the same way as after the lead in the first half, you will be able to score again sooner or later.

But if you are anxious, Bayern Munich is quite strong. If you really want them to play well, you can't stop them at all.

In the past 2019-2020 season, Bayern Munich scored 100 goals in 34 Bundesliga games, averaging 2.94 goals per game, which is more offensive than Manchester United's average of 2.79 goals per game. In Europe, only the Scottish Premier League champion Celtic, who scored 89 goals in 30 games, has an average goal per game that can exceed Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich's offensive ability in the Champions League is even more terrifying. In the 10 games before the final, they scored 42 goals, 12 more than Manchester United, who scored the second most goals.

Even in the entire history of the Champions League, the number of goals scored by 42 is enough to rank second, second only to Barcelona in the 1999-2000 season. At that time, the Red and Blue Army scored 45 goals in the entire season.

However, the Champions League season at that time had two rounds of group matches, and the number of games in the entire season was as high as 17, while Barcelona, ​​which reached the semi-finals, played 16 games, so Barcelona's average number of goals per game was only 2.81 goals!

And this season, Bayern Munich's average goal per game is as high as 4.2 goals!

Just think about it, Barcelona, ​​which is known as the universe team, was scored 8 goals by Bayern Munich in one game, which is so terrifying!

Such a team, even if Manchester United is facing it, will not dare to slack off.

However, in the past half of the game, whether it is the suppression in the front court or the interception and pressure in the midfield, Manchester United has done a very good job, and it can even be said that there is no problem, but the luck is a little worse.

………………

"Everyone sit down, we have more important things to deal with."

Mourinho and Faria walked into the locker room and loudly signaled the players to sit down.

The locker room was suddenly silent, and everyone looked up at Mourinho.

Mourinho said: "The play in the first half was very successful. We completely suppressed Bayern Munich. We must continue in the second half, make good use of the space behind the opponent's defensive players, and play our advantage of quick counterattacks."

The players all nodded.

Mourinho spoke again: "We were unlucky in the first half, but that's over. 1:1 is nothing for us. We have a chance to score again. You did a great job. Keep creating opportunities and we will definitely score again."

Obviously, Manchester United's head coach also believes that the team's various targeted tactical arrangements in the first half have been implemented and have achieved results, and there is no need to make changes and adjustments.

The role of core stars is often reflected in the moment when the opportunity appears. For example, Bruno's opening goal, or the time when Thomas Muller, the creator of Kimmich's free kick, took the ball.

But for most of the other time, there is really not much that core stars can do.

Bruno really hopes that he can rely on one person to smash the opponent's goal like NBA stars. But unfortunately, that was basketball, but he is now playing football, and it is the highest level of football.

Both teams obviously think that there is no need to adjust the situation in the first half.

Manchester United has the advantage, Bayern Munich defends well, and neither side is willing to make changes easily.

No one knows what the situation will develop into after actively seeking change.

The hot weather and the different tactical play forced Manchester United to consume more than Bayern Munich.

………………

Bayern Munich was also aware of the situation of the game and made targeted arrangements during the halftime break. One obvious point is that in the second half, Bayern Munich frequently began to try to play a quick counterattack.

First, Thomas Muller was offside, and then Thomas Muller's long-distance attack in the middle was destroyed by Kante's accurate and decisive tackle.

Bruno was closely guarded by Bayern Munich players in the frontcourt. Flick even seemed to have the feeling of using two players to lock Bruno. In the first half, Mbappe, Harry Kane, and even Gundogan missed opportunities frequently, which made Bayern Munich feel that this exchange tactic was very cost-effective.

Manchester United adopted a high-pressure pressing tactic, and Lewandowski was offside for the third time. This Pole, who is known as the world's top center forward and once created a miracle of scoring 5 goals in 9 minutes, except for the lucky refraction goal today, his biggest performance was several offsides, but Manchester United did a good job of countering offside.

The situation is changing little by little.

The average age of Bayern Munich players is older, but Manchester United's tactical play is more exhausting, which makes the two sides seem to have reached a certain balance again.

The situation on the court has also become a bit stalemate.

………………

Mourinho could no longer sit still in the 63rd minute and finally made a substitution.

In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Flick saw Manchester United's first substitution. Manchester United's youth player Greenwood replaced another young player Mbappe.

"He finally couldn't help it." Flick smiled and said to himself.

He immediately walked back and looked at the bench, signaling Coutinho and Perisic to prepare for the game. Kingsley Coman already had a yellow card, and it was time to replace him. And Gnabry's performance today was not good, and it was difficult to expect anything if he stayed on the court.

Kingsley Coman and Gnabry started in order to be able to gain some offensive opportunities, but what was unexpected was that Manchester United's advantage in the first half would be so obvious, and they scored after the opening, which was quite unfavorable to Bayern Munich.

Fortunately, Kimmich's free kick was lucky, and the ball hit Lewandowski and refracted into the goal.

Now, the two sides have finally returned to the same starting line. Flick is convinced that if the stalemate continues, the game will only be more and more favorable to Bayern Munich, because Manchester United's style of play will only be more and more unfavorable in such hot weather.

"Write a note for Coutinho to take up and tell David Alaba to let Thiago come back a little bit, and give the frontcourt to Thomas (Muller). He should pay attention to assisting and protecting our left side, and not let Manchester United cross the ball anymore."

The right winger in Manchester United's starting lineup is Mbappe. The French striker has strong breakthrough and shooting abilities, but his crosses are average. However, Greenwood, who came from Manchester United's youth training, has a much stronger cross ability. Harry Kane is one of the best forwards in the world of football today. Mourinho replaced Greenwood to make sure that Manchester United strengthened their crosses.

………………

After a pause, Flick reminded again: "Also, tell David Alaba to pay more attention to returning to defense, and stabilize the defense first."

Danny Rohr nodded, and immediately wrote Flick's words in a simple and clear note and handed it to Coutinho.

This is a common occurrence on the court, a way for the head coach to pass information to the players on the court. Many of the contents on the notes are tacit understandings that have been had in daily life, so they can be written very simply and understood at a glance.

"Their midfield is too good!" Flick shook his head and sighed.

Gundogan and Kante form a double defensive midfielder, which is simply a barrier in front of Manchester United's defense line. Coupled with Bruno, who is good at both offense and defense in the front midfielder position, Manchester United's entire midfield is as solid as a rock, and even suppressed Bayern Munich's midfield tonight.

Thomas Muller and Thiago did not perform at all, which shows the strength of Manchester United's midfield.

"The main reason is that we are tied up by Bruno." Danny Roll explained.

Flick nodded frequently. Bruno made Bayern Munich use two players to defend him. It would be strange if the midfield was not at a disadvantage.

Not to mention that Bruno scored a goal at the beginning, even if he did not score, he alone tied up two defensive players, which was enough for Manchester United.

If there was no Bruno, and Goretzka was free again, Manchester United's midfield advantage would not be so obvious.

But even now, even though the game has been going on for nearly 65 minutes, Flick still dared not relax his vigilance against Bruno, because he was too dangerous!

………………

Thinking of this, Flick said again: "Add one more thing, tell Goretzka and Thiago to pay attention to cutting off the connection between Harry Kane and Bruno, be sure to pay attention!"

Flick's eyes flashed a trace of worry, he still didn't trust Bruno enough.

If you want to talk about the most threatening player in Manchester United, it must be Bruno.

It can even be said that the more stalemate the game looks, the more dangerous Bruno is.

Bruno and this kind of players no longer need to use goals or assists to prove anything, their presence on the court itself is the most threatening thing.

If Mbappe, Rashford and Harry Kane were better at seizing opportunities, Manchester United would have led at least 3:0 in the first half. Bruno sent them several wonderful passes and planned several attacks, but they just couldn't score.

"Don't worry, he looks very exhausted and feels a little bit overwhelmed." Danny Roll said as he looked at Bruno on the court.

After the second half, although Bruno was still running actively, he seemed to be exhausted and not as brilliant as in the first half.

"Such an important final, with such great pressure and such amazing consumption, he must be a little overwhelmed." Danny Rohr guessed.

Flick shook his head and said solemnly: "Don't be careless, don't forget, this is his fourth Champions League final, and he led the team to win the final victory in the previous three finals!"
