In the 43rd minute, Bayern Munich got another great chance to score.
The ball was passed accurately to his feet, and Robert Lewandowski stopped the ball steadily, his eyes revealing firmness and confidence. The surrounding defensive players immediately surrounded him and tried to stop his attack. However, Robert Lewandowski turned cleverly with his excellent physical fitness and superb skills, and instantly got rid of the entanglement of the defensive players.
At the moment of turning around, Robert Lewandowski did not hesitate at all and decisively kicked the ball. His right foot was like a cannonball, hitting the football hard, making a dull sound. The football flew towards the goal at a very fast speed, as if a flash of lightning broke through the sky. The audience's eyes followed the trajectory of the football closely, and their hearts were in their throats, looking forward to this ball to score.
However, Manchester United defender Raphael Varane showed a tenacious defensive awareness. He reacted quickly and blocked the flight path of the ball with his body. With a "bang", the ball was blocked by Raphael Varane out of the baseline. Robert Lewandowski looked at the blocked ball with a look of regret on his face. He shook his head helplessly, his heart full of unwillingness. But he was not discouraged, but quickly adjusted his mentality and prepared to invest in the next attack.
Bayern Munich got a corner kick opportunity.
Thomas Muller stood in the corner kick area, his eyes focused and firm. He bent down slightly and gently fiddled with the football under his feet with his hands, as if he was having a silent conversation with it. He took a deep breath and kicked the ball out with a strong kick. The football seemed to be given life, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and flying accurately into the penalty area.
The ball accurately found Javi Martinez. I saw his body squatting slightly, like a cheetah about to pounce. When the ball approached, Javi Martinez burst out with great power, and he jumped high as if to touch the sky. His body stretched out in the air, and his head pushed forward, showing an unparalleled aerial advantage.
This time, the goddess of luck stood on the side of Bayern Munich. The football flew into the goal accurately, and the net was lifted up instantly. 1:1!
"The ball is in, the ball is in! In the last moment of the first half, the tenacious Bayern Munich scored a goal!" Owen Hargreaves shouted excitedly in the studio.
The fans of Bayern Munich in the stands, originally nervous and anxious, were instantly replaced by ecstasy. They widened their eyes, unable to believe the scene in front of them, and then cheers broke out like a surging wave. Some people jumped up from their seats excitedly, raised their hands high, waved their scarves vigorously, and shouted the names and slogans of the players loudly, with deafening voices. Other fans hugged each other tightly, with tears of excitement flashing in their eyes. They were extremely proud of the team's wonderful performance at the critical moment.
The cheers seemed to have infinite power, vibrating in the air and making the whole stadium tremble. The enthusiasm of the fans was like a burning flame, pushing the atmosphere of the stadium to the peak. They expressed their support and love for the team in the most enthusiastic way, as if telling the players on the field that they would always be the team's strongest backing.
Not long after the restart, the referee Bjorn Kuipers blew the whistle to end the first half, and the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 1:1.
At this moment, in the away team locker room at the Allianz Arena, Manchester United coach Mourinho stood in front of the tactical board, looking calm and confident. The players sat together, with the joy of victory on their faces, but their eyes revealed their focus and vigilance on the next game.
Mourinho cleared his throat and said, "Boys, well done! We played a wonderful game in the first half, but now is not the time to relax. We are away from home and facing the powerful Bayern Munich. They will never give up and will definitely counterattack wildly in the second half."
He turned around and pointed at the Bayern Munich lineup on the tactical board and continued, "We must remain vigilant and not give them any chances. The defense must remain compact and there must be no slackness. Rafael, Harry, you must always pay attention to Robert Lewandowski's running position and don't let him get the ball comfortably in the penalty area; Pepe, the position at the front of the penalty area is yours, and I need you to hold on for at least 20 minutes. Fernandez, Hakimi, you did a good job of restricting Robben and Ribery in the first half. In the second half, as long as Bayern Munich does not make substitutions, continue to follow the first half.Play like that, and assist boldly when appropriate, and use up the energy of these two old men as soon as possible, and try to score another goal. "
"Understood, boss." "Understood, boss." Theo Fernandez, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, and Ashraf Hakimi said loudly almost at the same time.
"No problem, even though the old man is old, if you need me to stick to the whole court, it's no problem." Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira said decisively.
Mourinho's eyes then swept over Marco Verratti and Rodrigo Hernandez, emphasizing: "Marco, Rodrigo, you are the core of the team. Continue to maintain control of the ball and don't lose the ball easily. Pass the ball decisively and accurately. When defending, you must actively press and don't let them organize the attack easily. When attacking, you must seize the opportunity and counterattack quickly. Our speed is our advantage, and we must make full use of it. "
"Understood, boss! "Marco Verratti and Rodrigo Hernandez said in unison.
Then, Mourinho looked at Edinson Cavani, Romelu Lukaku, Erling Haaland and other forward players, and said: "Romelu, I will give you another 20 to 25 minutes in the second half. I ask you to use up all your energy in the opponent's penalty area during this time. If you have the opportunity, shoot boldly. Don't worry about missing the goal. It doesn't matter if you can't score once. You can always score if you shoot more times. "As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of laughter in the locker room. Romelu Lukaku smiled awkwardly, and his face became even darker.
"Erling, you should also move more to the middle. When you have the opportunity to counterattack, you must rush forward resolutely, and use your speed and body with Romelu to rush down the opponent's Jerome Boateng and Mats Hummels for me! Edinson, the task of grabbing the second attack point is given to you. You must maintain a flexible running position and look for space. ”
“Okay, boss.” Edinson Cavani and Erling Haaland said in unison.
“Nico, Cody, I will leave the last 25 minutes to you. You have only one task, use your speed and technology to give Bayern Munich the final fatal blow.”
“Understood, boss.” Nico Williams and Cody Gakpo responded loudly to Mourinho.
Finally, Mourinho paused, raised his voice and said to all the players in the locker room: “Remember, we are a team. We must support each other and cooperate with each other. No matter what happens, we must not give up. We have only one goal, that is to enter the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain, and then bring the St. Bledsoe Cup back to Manchester. ”
“Come on! Come on! Come on! "Manchester United players nodded, their eyes full of fighting spirit.
At the same time, in the home team's locker room, the atmosphere seemed a bit heavy. Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac stood in front of the tactical board with a serious face. The players lowered their heads, a little frustrated.
Niko Kovac clapped his hands vigorously and said loudly: "Look up! The game is not over yet! We are Bayern Munich, we can't just give up!"
The players looked up and looked at the coach, and their eyes rekindled their fighting spirit.
Niko Kovac pointed to Manchester United's lineup on the tactical board and said: "We made some mistakes in the first half and let them seize the opportunity, but fortunately we recovered a ball before the midfield. In the second half, we still need three goals. On the wing, we have to strengthen the breakthrough on the wing. Arjan and Frank, give me a definite answer: Can it work? Theo Fernandes and Ashraf Hakimi, two kids who were still playing in the second-tier league last season, can't they play? If you can't do it, tell me now and I'll change players immediately! "
"Bullshit! Just wait and see me beat these two brats to pieces!" Frank Ribery looked at Niko Kovac with an angry face, his scarred face was unusually rugged. Arjen Robben on the side also stared at Niko Kovac, as if he was about to spit out angry flames at any time.
"I hope you will do what you say." Niko Kovac glanced at Frank Ribery and Arjen Robben, said lightly, then turned to Javi Martinez and Leon Goretzka, "Xavi, Leon, you should participate in the offense more actively and create more opportunities for Robert and Thomas."
"Okay." Javi Martinez and Leon Goretzka said.
After that, Niko Kovac looked at Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller and said, "Robert is our offensive core. In the second half, we must shoot more decisively, don'tHesitate. Put more pressure on their defense. Thomas, pay attention to grabbing the second landing point, and press forward decisively if you have the chance. "
"Okay." Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller said.
Finally, Niko Kovacs looked at Joshua Kimmich, Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels, David Alaba and other defensive players, and said: "The defense line must be more stable and no more mistakes can be made. Jerome and Mats should strengthen their defense against high-altitude balls. The opponent's Romelu Lukaku and Erling Haaland are both physically strong players, so they must pay attention; when Joshua and David assist, pay attention to the opponent's counterattack and return to defense in time.
"Okay, coach." Joshua Kimmich, Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels, David Alaba and other players said.
"We must unite and work together to get the score back!" Niko Kovacs concluded.
The players shouted in unison: "Bayern Munich! Bayern Munich!" Their voices were full of determination and fighting spirit.
After the coaches of both sides arranged the tactics, the second half of the game was about to begin, and the tense atmosphere seemed to solidify the air. On the court, the players of both sides returned to the field one after another after the halftime break. In the stands, the fans waved flags and shouted one after another. Bayern Munich fans were full of energy in their hearts, eager for the team to achieve a reversal in the second half; while Manchester United fans were full of expectations, hoping that the team could maintain its advantage and advance to the final.
With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began. Bayern Munich took the lead in launching a fierce attack. They knew that time was running out and they had to equalize the score as soon as possible. Bayern Munich's players actively fought for the ball in the midfield, trying to regain the ball. Their passes were fast and accurate, and they constantly attacked Manchester United's defense. Manchester United's players played steadily and counterattacked according to the coach's arrangement during the halftime break. They cooperated closely in defense and did not give Bayern Munich any easy breakthrough opportunities.
