I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Vardy didn't have many options, so just before catching up with the ball, he made a move to smash the ball. He firmly believed that Neuer must be aware of his shooting ability, so he smashed the ball with his right foot and hit the goal directly with his left foot, which must be within Neuer's alert range.

Sure enough, Vardy made a gesture to smash the ball, Neuer immediately responded, and his body center of gravity began to tilt.

Neuer also knows that the initiative is in Vardy's hands, and if he doesn't make preparations in advance, he can't stop it at all. However, Vardy paused deliberately, and when Neuer began to shift his focus, he pushed his right foot directly.

The ball slid past Neuer's left side at a very high speed. When the German goalkeeper reacted, he wanted to block it, but it was too late.

After the ball slid past Neuer, it rubbed against the post almost in a straight line and crashed into Bayern's goal.

At this time, the defense was in place, and Lahm, who wanted to prevent the ball from entering the net, slid into the goal, but it was of no avail.

"Goallllllllllllllllllllllllllll! !!!" "" "

"In the twenty-fifth minute, Manchester United winger Vardy scored and helped Manchester United equalize the score on the field!"

...

The entire Allianz Arena was boiling. The Manchester United fans with the smallest number broke out the most enthusiastic cheers and cheers in the audience.

………………

Vardy was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium, rushed all the way to the side of the stands where the Manchester United fans were, slid and knelt on the grass, and raised his arms high.

"Valdy did a great job! Bernat made an error that shouldn't have been made. After he was intercepted by Vardy, the Manchester United winger drove straight in with the ball, as if he was in no man's land, especially with a wonderful goal. Past the Bayern defence."

"The whole scoring process was very fast, which can be said to be very surprising."

"Bayern's defense has problems again. Guardiola should once again take responsibility for choosing Bernat as the starting left back. This Spanish player has made such mistakes more than once this season. But the stubborn Guardiola But I chose to trust him over and over again.”

...

As captain of Manchester United,

Rooney celebrated with his teammates on the sidelines, but at the same time he did not forget to remind his teammates: "Don't be careless, don't be careless, continue to stabilize the defense, stay focused, and strive to defend this score in the first half!"

Rooney's shout also represented the aspirations of the Manchester United players, but the Bayern players on the opposite side were also completely irritated!

As if stimulated by Vardy's goal, after being equalized by Manchester United, Bayern obviously played more aggressively, and the offensive threat was also greater.

Just four minutes after Vardy scored, Bayern played a very threatening attack. Vidal made a direct pass from the middle. After Muller got the ball, he rubbed a wonderful pass with the outer instep of his right foot on the left side of the penalty area. Lewandowski headed home from close range in the central wicket to give Bayern another lead.

This goal also completely ignited Bayern's offensive passion, and all the fans at the Allianz Arena cheered wildly.

………………

In the 35th minute, another pass from Vidal, Ribery broke into the left side of the penalty area again, facing Van Dijk's defense, the French winger suddenly fell to the ground, Van Dijk angrily accused Ribery of diving .

Although the referee finally signaled the game to continue, he did not punish the Frenchman for diving. Judging from the slow-motion playback of the game, Ribery is indeed suspected of diving.

In the 41st minute, it was another through ball from the left side of Vidal. After Ribery accelerated past Van Dijk on the left side of the penalty area, he crossed to the middle. Lewandowski followed up and calmed down in front of the goal. Push shot hits.

3:1!

The entire Allianz Arena was celebrating wildly.

They almost firmly controlled the first half of the game and did not leave many opportunities for Manchester United. At the same time, everyone has to admit that Bayern's left wing is indeed full of attack power.

All three goals were planned from the left, which completely blew up Manchester United's right.

Controlling the ball and rhythm on the field, Bayern can continuously plan more and more threatening offensives.

………………

Trailing 1:3 at halftime, Manchester United's situation was very bad, so after returning to the dressing room, Manchester United's players looked depressed and depressed.

This is not surprising. Just now they tried their best to equalize the score, but in a blink of an eye they fell behind by two goals. Anyone who changed would feel uncomfortable.

The same goes for Rooney. This is the first time he really felt that Manchester United may have difficulty going far in this year's Champions League.

This season, Manchester United has always been strong in the Champions League. Except for the away game in Porto, they have never fallen behind in the Champions League, let alone the situation where they are behind by two goals at halftime like now.

The strength of Manchester United and Bayern is about the same. What really determines the outcome is the current state of the game between the two sides. Judging from the recent situation, Manchester United players are obviously worse than Bayern in terms of game status.

The defense performed poorly in this game, especially in the central defender position. Van Dijk, who performed very well in the Premier League, was really almost blown away.

Maguire is still relatively young and did not play well in this game.

As for the offensive end, he also did not give a very good performance. Vardy on the right performed well and helped Manchester United score an equalizer goal, but Martial on the left still lacks sharpness.

If the left wing can create more pressure on Bayern, then Rooney will be much easier in the center position.

But now the left side is a bit weak. After Bayern led by two goals, they began to strengthen their defense, which put a lot of pressure on Rooney.

But sometimes, football games are like this.

It is also impossible for Rooney to blame his teammates for this. After all, they are either not in ideal condition or have tried their best.

All the pressure was pushed in front of Rooney, especially in games like the Champions League, which really made him feel overwhelmed. But he doesn't regret the choices he made, nor does he blame his teammates.

The strong have always stood up in the face of difficulties, what better way to prove their strength than now?

At this moment, Rooney is also very clear that the morale of the team must not be let down. Once this breath is vented, there is really nothing to do in the second half!

………………

"Everyone cheer up, we haven't reached the time to be downcast yet." Rooney stood up from his seat and said vigorously, encouraging the strength of the team.

"We have a precious away goal and are two goals behind. This situation is not the end of the world. The most important thing for us now is to stabilize our defense."

"Wayne is right, the top priority is to stabilize the defense." De Bruyne also stood up to encourage his teammates.

As the first to bear the brunt, Van Dijk was a little embarrassed, but he bravely stood up and said that his state was indeed not ideal, but he would definitely adjust himself in time and continue to work hard in the second half to strive for a better performance.

Rooney also showed the demeanor a captain should have. Not only did he not blame Van Dijk, but he thought he had done his best. He said: "Defense is everyone's business in our team. We conceded three goals, and none of us have the right to blame others."

Rooney's maintenance moved Van Dijk very much, not only because of the personal relationship between each other, but also because of the overall situation of the team.

During the intermission, the coaching staff will not easily make substitutions. Substituting at this time is tantamount to shifting all the responsibility for the first half to this player, which is unfair to anyone.

Since there will be no substitutions, the morale of the team must be adjusted.

This is Yang Rooney's attitude.

Ye Su also walked into the locker room at this time, and he also very much agreed with Rooney's statement.

Ye Su said: "There is still the second half of the game. We are far from being downcast. Don't forget that we are the best team in the second half."

After what Ye Su said, the Manchester United players immediately regained their confidence. But just this is obviously not enough. The team must also come up with a feasible plan at the tactical level.

That's the threat on the left.

Ye Su's opinion is very consistent with Rooney's. In the first half, the team's pressure on the opponent on the left was obviously not enough.

"Bayern prefer to play the ball directly into our penalty area in attack. This was very obvious in the first half. The intention is very simple. It can create better shooting opportunities in the penalty area. Lewandowski , Ribery and Müller are all good players in this area."

"And we must shrink appropriately and adopt intensive defense, especially our middle lane, and we must hold the front of the penalty area."

"In addition, when attacking, our left side has to put more pressure on the opponent. Anthony needs to be more active, press the opponent more, put a little more pressure on their side, and then there will be more opportunities on the right side. .”

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads.

"Everyone, this is a protracted battle. The opponent is Bayern, one of the strongest teams in European football today. We have no advantage in strength, and we are even at a disadvantage because of the away game. This requires us to work together. Work together, unite as one.”

"We have to defend in the second half, the longer we defend, the more chances we have!"

………………

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Manchester United adopted a more resolute shrinking defensive tactic.

Bayern created a chance in the opening four minutes, a cross from the wing that Lewandowski headed just wide of the far post.

The Polish center forward has gotten many header opportunities in this game. If his ability to grasp the header was stronger, Manchester United would have been beaten into a sieve.

Subsequently, Bayern continued to control the situation on the field and frequently created opportunities. However, due to Manchester United's shrinking defense, it is difficult for Bayern to easily pass the ball into the penalty area at the front of the penalty area. Coupled with the 3:1 lead, Bayern's offense slows down appropriately.

The best opportunity was in the 57th minute. After Ribery received a pass from Muller, he took a long shot from the front of the penalty area. He failed to hit the strength and was confiscated by Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.

Manchester United also realized that the team had to make adjustments.

"United made a substitution. Ye Su replaced Martial with Koulibaly."

"This is a very conservative substitution. Martial is the team's left winger. When he was two goals behind, he replaced a left winger and replaced a central defender. This is definitely not a positive adjustment, but it is specific. How to play, we have to look at Manchester United's changes on the field."

...

When Rooney saw the number plate for the substitution on the sidelines, he was also a little surprised. At this point in the game, replace a winger with a central defender?

Coulibaly can strengthen the team's defense against high balls, which should help limit Lewandowski.

Can replace Martial...

………………

"Wayne, Kevin!" Taking advantage of the dead ball, both Rooney and De Bruyne were shouted to the sidelines by Ye Su and said, "We need to limit their two forwards. After Coulibaly goes up, we Just play five backs, but the two full backs can press forward properly, especially Kyle Walker on the right, let him press Bernat."

Rooney's eyes lit up.

In this game, Bayern's formation looks like a 4141 formation on the surface, but in fact, because Muller is very forward, Bayern's formation is more inclined to a 442 midfield diamond position.

Three central defenders against two forwards, this can be possible.

Koulibaly follows Lewandowski, Maguire and Van Dijk are very mobile, and their ability to take and play the ball is also very good. If you pull the side, you can even play as a full-back without any problem .

As for their sidelines, Kanter can withdraw, and he is also a versatile player in the backcourt.

Ye Su finally said: "You must remember, tell Walker and Xiao, our wing will be handed over to them!"

After being patted on the shoulder by Ye Su, Rooney and De Bruyne looked at each other, nodded, and quickly returned to the court.

………………

This is indeed a slightly conservative substitution, but Manchester United did not lose their fighting spirit.

After Rooney and De Bruyne conveyed the coach's intentions back to the court, Manchester United's tactics changed accordingly.

Rooney began to gain more and greater degrees of freedom. He was no longer limited to the middle, but cruising in any position in the frontcourt. Wherever there is space, he will go there.

Vardy acted as the fulcrum of the frontcourt, replacing Rooney at the forefront.

Although this seemingly fierce England striker is not tall and not as strong, his flexible movement and strong entanglement ability are also very deterrent to Bayern's central defenders.

With an extra central defender behind him, the two full-backs have been liberated to a certain extent, and De Bruyne and Carrick in the midfield have also begun to be more active.

When the game progressed to the 73rd minute, Manchester United once again played a quick counterattack.

Kyle Walker dribbled the ball along the right and advanced quickly. After scoring into Bayern's 30-meter area, he saw Rooney pull to the right to open the defensive position for him. He immediately chose to cut to the ribs.

This is a tacit understanding between the two.

Vidal immediately stepped forward to entangle Kyle Walker. Kyle Walker immediately split the ball to the right. Rooney stopped the ball unhurriedly, Bernat didn't dare to be careless towards him, and stared at him fiercely.

After Kyle Walker passed the ball, he ran over quickly and went to the gap to meet it.

Rooney quickly crossed the ball back to Kyle Walker, and suddenly accelerated himself.
