The sixth professional football player who started with Manchester United

Chapter 91 Champions League Final 6
2:0.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United took advantage of Dabao's free kick to expand their advantage to two goals.

Two goals behind, one less outnumbered, and a very crucial midfielder.

This also turned Heynckes' insistence on the sidelines into a joke.

When Martinez was sent off with a red card before, Heynckes did not adjust the lineup, but directly changed from the original double midfielder to a single midfielder, and then expanded Muller's range of activities.

Basically, the frontcourt still maintains the original lineup configuration.

The reason for this choice is that Heynckes also hopes to use his own offense to suppress the opponent's offense, so that he can well make up for the defensive pressure.

But now the score on the court told Heynckes that his idea was not going to work.

Ferguson's sophistication was clearly revealed after taking the lead.

After Manchester United took the lead in terms of numbers, they also strengthened their high-position pressing in the midfield and frontcourt. In defense, the advantage of the number of midfielders allowed Manchester United to focus on defending Bayern's two wings, especially against the inside. Berry and Robben worked even harder on defense.

Rafael and Evra, who have always liked to add assists before this game, also put their focus on defense, and the number of assists in the back row was much less than in previous games.

In addition, while Carrick and Dabao were doing their best to mark themselves, they also noticed the strength of the opponent's two wings during defense.

And Bayern's originally evenly matched situation with the opponent was weakened because of Martinez's end, so the two full-backs Ram and Alaba also needed to do more defensively. The two wings that were proud of in Europe in the past have become a bit misfired.

After this goal, all the Bayern players could see on the field were confusion and loss. The morale of the team fell to the lowest point. The players could not see any hope of winning at all. Natural motivation was also affected. Big hit.

On the other hand, Manchester United is here, it is completely the opposite.

There is a relaxed smile on his face, and his eyes are also radiant with confidence and a strong desire for victory and championship.

With the intervention of the referee, Manchester United also ended their celebration, and then everyone returned to their positions, and the game restarted at the referee's whistle.

But 4 minutes passed quickly.

Soon the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Players from both sides also returned to the locker room for a final summary.

"The first half of the game is over. Now I believe that after returning to the locker room, whether it is Ferguson or Heynckes, I believe that they will make some tactical adjustments and arrangements for the second half of the game, and then rest for 15 minutes. Then let us witness the birth of this season's Champions League champion."

Everyone knows that Manchester United's tactics in the second half, which have a two-goal advantage, have many possibilities and a very high fault tolerance rate. But for Bayern, there is only one way. Unless Bayern gives up the championship, they can only attack. It's their choice.

15 minutes passed quickly.

Players from both sides also returned to the court.

Bayern has indeed made adjustments, but this substitution surprised many people. Heynckes replaced Mandzukic with Gomez.

This is a match-up substitution, and after the players on both sides stood in their positions, everyone also found that the positions of Ribery and Robben on Bayern's side moved a lot forward, basically Ribery on the field Li and Arjen Robben are in the position of a winger, so the disadvantage in numbers is very clear from the position alone. There are only Muller and Schweinsteiger in the midfield.

In fact, Heynckes really worked hard. He was sure that Manchester United would not use the tactics of the first half in the second half. He believed that Ferguson, who had two goals in hand, would definitely choose a conservative defensive counterattack tactic in the second half. This is very important. A normal choice, leading in number and score, is a very wise choice to lure out the opponent's formation at this time.

Heynckes felt he would have done it in Ferguson's position.

So after the start of the second half, Bayern chose a tactical arrangement of forced attack.

Heynckes also hopes that it is best to get back a goal in a short period of time. In that case, it will greatly improve the morale of the team. There is a clear difference between falling behind by one goal and falling behind by two goals.

However, when the game started, it turned out that Heynckes was just Heynckes, not Ferguson. He did not guess Manchester United's opening tactics of the second half.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United kicked off and went up to full rhythm without giving the opponent a chance to react. They just pushed the formation forward and launched a fierce attack against Bayern's defense line frantically. The direction is the middle of the opponent.

Even Van Persie and Valencia on the two wings did not go down the wing once they got the ball, but cut inside or dribbled the ball laterally to attack Bayern's defense in the middle, making Ribery and Robben Constantly reinforce the defense in the middle.

Manchester United's Dabao and Carrick also frequently took turns targeting the opponent's hinterland to organize attacks. Once the ball was lost, Manchester United immediately launched a high-level press on the spot, and even prevented the opponent from counterattacking at the expense of fouls.

For a while, the entire Bayern was suppressed by Manchester United in the half, and Heynckes' opening attack plan naturally went bankrupt.

Even Gomez, who had just been substituted, had to retreat to the midfield to participate in defense.

In the 51st minute of the game, Carrick's pass was pushed out by Dante and fell to the feet of Muller in the middle, but Dabao had already made preparations, and directly took control of the ball with a tackle, and then passed the ball To Carrick, Carrick followed by a kick to send the ball back to Dabao, and Dabao volleyed with his left foot.

"Bang!" The football hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

Bayern escaped a catastrophe.

But for Bayern, the pressure is still there.

After 3 minutes, Manchester United's offense made a comeback.

This time, Van Persie received a pass from Scholes on the line of the penalty area, then turned around and fired a volley. Fortunately, Neuer was focused, and the angle of the shot was too right, and it was directly missed by Neuer. Er punched out with both fists, but the football that flew out of the penalty area was once again controlled by Manchester United.

Dabao sent the ball over the top into the penalty area. Rooney's grab was saved by Neuer again, and then Scholes' supplementary shot was blocked by Boateng.
