The sixth professional football player who started with Manchester United

Chapter 87 Champions League Final 2
"For Manchester United, Ferguson arranged a 4231 formation today. The goalkeeper is De Gea. On the back line, the right back is Rafael, the left back Evra, and the two center backs are Ferdinand and Vidic. This back line The defense should be Manchester United's strongest defense this season, and the two defensive midfielders are no surprise. Dabao and Carrick appear in these two positions. The three people in front are Robin van Persie on the right and Van Persie in the middle. Scholes, Valencia on the left and Rooney at the front.”

"The only thing about Manchester United's starting lineup that is different from what the media predicted before is the right midfielder position. The media previously predicted Nani, but Ferguson chose Robin van Persie, which was beyond many people's expectations. Yes, and in terms of formation selection, everyone previously thought that Manchester United was likely to play a 3-forward formation. After all, Dabao’s long pass requires a fulcrum in the frontcourt, and Welbeck is the best choice.”

"Well, but with the current lineup, Manchester United's frontcourt has actually changed a lot. Rooney and Robin van Persie both have a very wide range of activities in the frontcourt, so I guess there will still be changes in the middle of the game."

"Next, let's take a look at Bayern's starting lineup. Bayern's side is quite satisfactory and there is no change. The choice of formation is also the 4231 formation they often use this season. The defender is Ram, the left is Alaba, the two central defenders are Boateng and Dante, the double midfielders are Martinez and Schweinsteiger, the front central midfielder is Muller, and the left is Ribe Arjen Robben on the right and Mandzukic up front."

"This lineup is definitely Bayern's strongest lineup. In this game, one is striving for the triple crown and the other is striving for the double crown. Both teams are the overlords in their respective national leagues, and they both won When it comes to the league championship, let’s see who can have the last laugh.”

When Duan Xuan and He Wei introduced the starting lineups of both sides and analyzed their respective tactical predictions, the starting lineups of both sides also walked out of the player tunnel under the leadership of the referee team from Italy.

Suddenly, the entire Wembley Stadium burst into deafening cheers and applause. The fans from Manchester United and the fans from Bayern Munich were clearly distinguishable. Although the number of fans was smaller, the momentum of Bayern fans was not much weaker.

The rivalry between the two sides from outside the court has been transferred to the court.

When Dabao walked out of the players' tunnel and passed the St. Peter's Cup, Dabao glanced at the trophy. This was Dabao's first time on site and in such close contact with the Big Ears Cup.

Under the illumination of the lights, this trophy, which represents the highest honor of European clubs, is shining charmingly.

This kind of light has an unparalleled allure for every professional player.

After a short ceremony, the captains of the two teams came to referee Rizzoli from Italy and guessed sides under his auspices.

Soon after the players from both sides took a group photo, they all stood in their respective positions.

Bayern won the right to kick off.

Rizzoli soon arrived near the center circle. After communicating with the fourth official on the sidelines, he looked at his watch. When the time came to 06:30, Rizzoli immediately blew the whistle to start the game.

With this whistle, the 2012-2013 Champions League final officially begins.

After the game started, just as Duan Xuan and He Wei analyzed before, both sides played very cautiously. Neither Bayern nor Manchester United rushed to attack, but this does not mean that the game was not intense enough and the pace was not fast.

On the contrary, the game entered a heated stage from the first minute.

The two sides launched a very fierce battle in the midfield. Starting from the first minute of the game, the midfield ball changed very frequently. It can be said that Ferguson and Heynckes both have a deep understanding of each other. Whether it is Bayern or Manchester United, the idea is to control the midfield.

In the 9th minute of the game, Bayern took the lead in completing the first shot from both sides after the opening.

Muller received a pass from Martinez with his back to the goal. After Dabao was not fully in place, he directly sent the ball with a heel pass to Ribery who came to meet him, and then Ribery received it. After the ball, a very dexterous turn and the ball was passed and temporarily got rid of Carrick's defense, but Raphael's defense was also in place, so the opponent did not increase the speed, and at this time Ribery sent out With a long pass, Mandzukic at the front of the penalty area leaned on Ferdinand and grabbed the first spot, and then followed with a volley.

It's just a pity that the shot was high and flew directly over the crossbar.

After Bayern completed its first shot, Manchester United was also not to be outdone.

In the 13th minute of the game, Bayern organized an attack in the midfield, and Martinez from behind tried to find Muller again, but this time Dabao obviously made a prediction in advance, so when Muller caught the ball, Dabao had already It came up, and with the physical contact between the two, Muller obviously suffered a hidden loss, and was immediately intercepted by Dabao.

After the steal, Dabao also made a vigorous pass, and then accelerated to dribble the ball. Facing Martinez's defense, Dabao and the retreating Scholes made a clever two-pass and one-pass cooperation, and completed the opponent easily. After passing the opponent, Dabao did not continue to dribble, but sent a very precise long pass.

Rooney also understood and stepped in from the back row, but although he got rid of Dante, Boateng also did a good job in assisting defense, so the shot from the penalty area was blocked by Boateng.

The intensity of the game not only made the fans of both sides very excited, but even many neutral fans were very excited to watch it. It is worthy of the Champions League final.

After the opening of the game, each of the two sides had an attack. The two coaches kept yelling on the sidelines to signal the players to concentrate, and they all pointed to the key targets in the opponent's lineup.

As time passed little by little, the game became more and more intense, and the pace of the game naturally became faster. As a result, both sides made a lot more mistakes, which caused The result is that opportunities for both parties have increased a lot.

The offense of you coming and going can be said to be pleasing to the eye.

Dabao's dribbling in the midfield was once again directly knocked down by Martinez. Rizzoli also promptly punished the opponent for a foul, but this foul just interrupted a very good organizational opportunity for Manchester United.
