I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

The knockout round of the quarterfinals is approaching, and the whole of Munich is facing a formidable enemy.

Manchester United is also not easy, because the opponent is strong. Bayern is a team with a profound history of the Champions League. They are one of only five teams in Europe that retain the prototype of the Big Ears Cup.

Before 2009, if you have won 5 Champions League trophies or 3 consecutive years of Champions League trophies, you can keep a prototype of the Champions League trophy.

From 1974 to 1976, Bayern won the Champions League consecutively after Ajax, and completed three consecutive Champions League titles under the leadership of Beckenbauer. It became the third club to permanently retain the Champions League trophy after Real Madrid and Ajax.

After these three clubs, Bayern and Liverpool have successively won five championship trophies and obtained the qualification to permanently retain the Champions League trophy.

Except for these five clubs, even Barcelona, ​​which has been in full swing in recent years, does not have this qualification. Because before 2009, they only won three Champions Leagues.

Although they won two more trophies afterwards, they lost their chance because of the rule change.

Facing such a super giant with a long history, it is not easy for anyone to deal with.

………………

Then there is the historical battle record between Manchester United and Bayern is not dominant.

When it comes to Manchester United, people will think of the Triple Crown 17 years ago, and then they will think of Bayern Munich.

However, it wasn't all fond memories linked to Bayern for United.

In fact, in the record against Bayern, Manchester United is on the weak side. Manchester United and Bayern have faced each other 9 times in the history of the Champions League. Among them, Manchester United has 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses.

Manchester United's first victory against Bayern was a magical comeback in the 1999 Champions League final.

Before the Champions League final, Manchester United had won the Premier League and the FA Cup. As long as they can win the Big Ears Cup, Ferguson's team will forge the glory of the Triple Crown.

With Basler's goal, Bayern was in the lead for most of the time, but when the game went into stoppage time, Sheringham tied the score at 1: 1, and when everyone thought there would be extra time During the game, Solskjaer, who came off the bench for Manchester City, helped Manchester United overtake the score 2:1, and the Red Devils won the Champions League trophy.

In addition to this victory,

United have only won one of their other eight games against Bayern.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage of the 1998-1999 season, on September 30, 1998, Bayern drew 2:2 with Manchester United at home. Elber scored two goals for Bayern, and Yorke and Scholes contributed to Manchester United. On December 9, 1998, Manchester United 1:1 Bayern, Keane and Salihamidzic scored goals respectively. In the end, Bayern qualified first in the group.

In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 2000-2001 season, Manchester United lost 0:1 at home and 1:2 away. In the end, they were eliminated with a total score of 1:3.

In the second group stage of the UEFA Champions League in the 2001-2002 season, Manchester United and Bayern met again. As a result, in the first round, the Red Devils drew 1:1 away from their opponents, and returned to the home court with a 0:0 goalless draw. In the last group, Manchester United qualified first.

In the first leg of the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Bayern 2:1 Manchester United, Rooney scored a lightning goal in 64 seconds, Ribery scored an equalizer, and Olic caught Manchester United's return error in stoppage time to help Bayern reverse. In the second round, Manchester United 3:2 Bayern. In the first half, Gibson's goal and Nani scored twice to give Manchester United a 3:0 lead. Olić pulled back a goal. After 5 minutes off work, Rafael was sent off with a red card. Robben equalized with a corner kick and Manchester United were eliminated with few away goals.

………………

After a lapse of six years, the two teams met again in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Ye Su is also full of expectations for this game, but because this is his first time leading the team to the Champions League, the world's top football competition, he still lacks confidence.

"It's going to be a great game for Manchester United, we're all feeling the pressure and I'm really looking forward to seeing the surprises."

"Last season we failed to participate in the Champions League, but we won the Europa League. This season we entered the quarter-finals, everyone expects us to go further, and I always believe that the players will surprise us."

Manchester United also attaches great importance to the away game in the first round. At noon the day before the game, the Manchester United team took a flight to Munich, a city in southwestern Germany, after their lunch break. As soon as the plane landed, they rushed directly to the hotel. After packing up, they rushed to the Allianz Arena for pre-match familiarization training.

………………

The ball market at the Allianz Arena is extremely hot. According to the news received before the game, this game will be full of seats. In fact, almost every home in the Bundesliga has a high attendance rate, and the support of local fans for their home team is the best in the world. The attendance rate of the Allianz Arena is close to 100%, not inferior to Manchester United's Old Trafford.

In this game, there will be as many as 75,000 fans in the stands to watch the game, only a very small number of them are fans of the visiting team Manchester United, and they are also allocated to the most corner area.

This is also the consistent practice of all Champions League home teams.

When Manchester United arrived at the Allianz Arena, the Bayern fans at the scene gave them a note of Mawei. The players were booed deafeningly as they stepped off the bus.

But this has long been a habit for Manchester United.

"Take it easy, the louder they boo, the better we are."

As the captain of the team, Rooney was at the back of the team. After sending his teammates into the player channel one by one, he turned around and left, and at the same time he did not forget to encourage his teammates loudly.

Back in the locker room, Rooney took his teammates to pack up their things and went directly to the Allianz Arena for the final training before the game.

At this time, the huge stands were already full of people. That scene, that momentum, was extremely spectacular.

………………

After the last training session before the game, Manchester United got Bayern's starting lineup after returning to the dressing room.

The goalkeeper is undoubtedly Neuer, and the defense line is No. 21 Ram, No. 32 Kimmich, No. 27 Alaba and No. 18 Bernat. No. 23 Vidal plays a single defensive midfielder. The four forwards are No. 11 Costa, No. 25 Muller, No. 6 Thiago and No. 7 Ribery, and No. 9 Lewandowski has a single arrow forward.

As the overlord of the Bundesliga, Bayern's lineup is very luxurious, and the bench is full of powerful players. Harvey Martinez, Gotze, Koeman and others are all sitting on the bench.

Such a lineup configuration is not surprising. Obviously, in the eyes of the Germans, this will be a tough battle.

Bayern has an excellent home record in the Champions League, and has been unbeaten in ten home games across the season. Lewandowski, Vidal and Kimmich in the Bayern team need to be more cautious in the game. If they continue to be warned by yellow cards, they will be suspended and unable to play in the second round against Manchester United.

"As I said before, let's grab a wave after the opening of this game."

"Ten minutes, if we can score, we will score, if we can't score, we will retreat!"

"Bayern must never be given a chance, especially after conceding a goal."

...

Ye Su once again emphasized Manchester United's tactics in the dressing room.

………………

While Ye Su was admonishing his players, the coach of the home team also got Manchester United's starting lineup.

There is also no surprise at all, it is the 4231 formation that Ye Su often uses when facing strong teams.

De Gea is in goal and Luke Shaw, Maguire, Virgil van Dijk and Kyle Walker are at the back. Kanter and Carrick partnered with double midfielders, Martial, De Bruyne and Vardy lined up in the forward line, and Rooney shot forward with a single arrow.

Guardiola said to his disciples with a serious expression: "Manchester United is a very difficult team. Their four-man frontcourt has strong strength. De Bruyne passed the ball accurately. Martial Very good at breaking through, Vardy is good at pestering opponents, Rooney is strong in overall ability, scoring efficiency is also very high, he will definitely be the most threatening player for Manchester United, and we must pay attention to this game. Whether he appears In the left flank, or in the right flank, our defense must be 100% focused."

"If I'm not wrong, Manchester United will attack after the opening. This is one of the few opportunities for Manchester United. Their pressing in the midfield is very good, so they will use the opening to set up a round advantage. This is us. Must pay attention."

...

………………

With the referee's whistle, this world-renowned focus battle finally kicked off.

Manchester United, who took the lead in the kick-off, did as Guardiola expected before the game. They took the initiative to press and press, trying to speed up the rhythm from the beginning and strive to play a wave of fast-paced attacks. But Bayern seems to have been prepared for this. With the advantage of passing and possession, they squatted patiently in their own half.

In the first minute of the game, after the two teams fought fiercely in Bayern's half, the home team took the lead in launching a threatening offensive.

At 1 minute and 50 seconds into the game, Ribery suddenly cut inside and went straight to Lewandowski. Lewandowski resisted the defense and knocked Bernat on the left.

1:0, Bayern dream start!

Seeing the Bayern players crazily celebrating their goals, as well as the enthusiastic fans of the home team, Ye Su began to realize that there was something wrong with the script of the game. He was also prepared for a long time and was not afraid of Manchester United's attack.

Ye Su realized that the game could no longer be played like this, so he quickly made adjustments.

Manchester United's attack failed, and the team entered the defensive counterattack stage ahead of schedule.

But even so, Bayern seemed to hit the snake with the stick, unwilling to let Manchester United retreat easily, and slowly moved forward.

Soon, the home team once again created a threatening attack. Vidal crossed the top and passed into the penalty area, and Lewandowski headed the goal. De Gea blocked the ball in shock, Costa controlled the ball's landing, and directly faced the defense with a low shot.

Kyle Walker made a contribution in this defense!

Manchester United's right back chased Costa all the way and interfered with the Bayern midfielder when he hit the goal, forcing the opponent to fail to hit the right position and miss it again.
