"Westbrook, let me play in the Champions League semifinals too?"

Wang Congsi, who had just led Manchester United to a 3-0 victory over Everton, was excitedly discussing his next chance to play.

Su Changwei glanced at Ferguson:

"As the first person in football history, of course I have extremely high professionalism and will never interfere with the work of the coaching team."

Ferguson was amused.

However, he did not reject the CEO's proposal outright, but considered it for a moment:

"If we can get a lead of more than five goals, we can let you play."

Wang Congsi was not satisfied, but made further progress:

"I feel that my passing level is not much different from Ashley Young and Valencia. Can you arrange for me to start directly?"

"..."

Ferguson was silent for a moment, took out a bottle of quick-acting heart-saving pills from his pocket, and placed them in front of him.

Wang Congsi laughed dryly:

"Hahaha, I was just kidding!"

Su Changwei patted him on the shoulder:

"When I kill the suspense in the first round, you can start in the second round!"

Wang Congsi's eyes lit up:

"You're still thoughtful!"

Ferguson curled his lips:

"What about your professionalism? Did you promise that you would never interfere?"

Su Changwei laughed:

"Old man, I am here to comfort him!"

"You have coached me for a whole season. When have I ever disobeyed your orders?"

"Did I always strongly support the head coach rotation thing you did and even played a few extra games?"

Ferguson shrugged his shoulders:

"I don't care about that, I just care about winning games and championships."

"If I miss a championship this season, just wait until I retire and hold press conferences every day to show you what I call Ferguson's hair dryer in front of the global media!"

“I don’t want my retirement season to be filled with regrets!”
-

After four days of rest and preparation, April 4th arrived quickly.

Ferguson led the team to Germany and faced off against old rival Bayern at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Although they are old rivals, the two sides have only met 11 times in official matches. Manchester United has a record of 2 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, scoring 13 goals and conceding 16 goals. Overall, it is at a disadvantage.

——But most fans actually only remember the 99 final, when Manchester United achieved a miraculous comeback under the leadership of Ferguson...

Ferguson had fewer encounters with Guardiola, only twice, in the 2 Champions League final and the 2009 Champions League final. Ferguson, who has entered the countdown to retirement, was completely defeated by the Peak Cosmos team both times.

But before the game, whether it was media predictions or betting odds, they all believed that Manchester United would advance to the final. The only difference was whether Manchester United could score 20 goals in the two rounds or score 5 goals...

Bookmakers are not fools. Nowadays, the odds of betting on Manchester United alone are as low as 1:0.85. This means that if you spend 1 yuan to buy Manchester United and win, you can only win 8 cents, which is equivalent to a loss of 5 cents, and a certain amount must be deducted. proportional taxes.

What can really make money are projects with a little technical content such as Manchester United allowing 5 goals, whether Su Changwei can score more than 10 goals, whether De Gea can get a clean sheet bonus...

There was a rumor before the game that in order to win, Guardiola did not hesitate to lose face and learn the iron barrel tactics from Mourinho!

But Mourinho immediately clarified:

"I am Ferguson's successor, how can I impart experience to Guardiola?"

Guardiola even denied it:

"Mourinho and I are not the same person at all. I can't learn anything from him!" Whether Bayern will adopt a defensive strategy may become the biggest suspense of this game.

Even Ferguson, who is experienced and has a vicious vision, cannot predict... For the sake of victory and honor, will Guardiola temporarily abandon the philosophical concept of artistic football and succumb to utilitarian and conservative football tactics?

According to the most basic principles of football, if you adopt a dense defense and put iron barrels and buses, there is indeed a probability that you can reduce the number of goals conceded. Most coaches will also choose a conservative stance when facing strong opponents, but Guardiola is not in this range. within.

Since the beginning of coaching Barcelona, ​​he has been pursuing control and art. Even if some people feel sleepy about his game scenes, he has always enjoyed it.

In his not-so-long coaching career, people have almost never seen him give up his own ideas in order to win. He would rather let players dive than drive a bus!

At best, diving can be considered a moral flaw, but throwing a bus is denying one's own football philosophy! -

Guardiola disdains defense, but he is keen on finishing.

Especially during key battles, he always brings some fun to the game!

Sure enough, when Bayern's starting 11 were officially announced, everyone was a little silent.

The goalkeeper position is German national goalkeeper Neuer (Germany). He is the undisputed best goalkeeper in football in recent years.

The four defenders from left to right are Bernat (Western), Martinez (Western), Alaba (Austria), and Lahm (Germany).

The three midfielders are Alonso (Western), Thiago (Western), and Vidal (Chile).

On the left and right wings are Kingsley Coman (France) and Douglas Costa (Barcelona).

Polish striker Lewandowski played the role of destroying the city.

This starting lineup is indeed surprising. In addition to Robben missing the game due to injury, the healthy Muller, Franck Ribery, and Gotze all sat on the bench. The former "World No. 1 Guard" Boateng did not even make it. On the big list, Alaba is a temporary guest central defender.

The German football community generally expressed doubts and incomprehension, and some people even keenly discovered a fact:

"Guardiola is blatantly nepotistic and hired four Spaniards!"

"There are only two Germans in the starting lineup of the Bundesliga overlord!"

"What is Thiago's status? Why should he replace Muller, the treasure of our German football?"

"I would rather put Tashche, who has only played 30 minutes all year, on the bench than bring Boateng, who is back on fire!"

"Guardiola is destroying the foundation of German football!"
-

Manchester United still uses the 343 formation commonly used this season.

Goalkeeper: De Gea

Sanzhong: Luojo, Van Dike, Smolin

Midfield four: Young, Herrera, Carrick, Rafael

Single attacking midfielder: Rooney

Double forward: Robin van Persie, Su Changwei

As for the bench, there are seven generals including Romero, Jones, Blind, Valencia, Fellaini, Rashford and Mata.

After all, Ferguson paid more attention to results. In this crucial battle, he did not leave any chance to the three Chinese players Qin Sheng, Zhang Linpeng, and Zhang Congsi!

Today's Manchester United lacks top superstars in the midfield and backfield, but not all cats and dogs can play!
-

Su Changwei looked at the opponent's lineup and was a little disappointed.

His favorite Robben was not on the roster, so he could only settle for the next best thing and set his sights on a scarred face:

【Beep~~~】

[Directed extraction...Franck Ribery (Friendliness 2)]

[Reproducible peak strength: 113%]

[Probability of injury: 25%]

He relaxed slightly.

[Except for defeating Bayern once when he was at Real Madrid, I have never met King Nan in the past few years, and I have never played against France in the World Cup. Otherwise, for a sensitive guy like Ribery, his friendliness would definitely be negative! 】

[Okay, let me use the Allianz King at its peak 113% to conquer this Allianz Arena! 】(End of this chapter)
