I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 154: The Champions League Final Begins

The players were relatively relaxed, mainly responsible for regulating their body and mind, but in the meeting room, the coaching staff had a heated discussion, and it could even be said to be arguing, because how to start tonight and what tactics to adopt have so far been unclear. Haven't come up with a set of definite plans yet.

There is no plan, and the coaching staff does not know how to explain the precautions to the players on the court.

Finally, at the last moment before the tactical meeting in the afternoon, Ye Su finally overcame all opinions, made a decision, and rejected everyone's objections.

After the meeting, everyone went to prepare separately.

The techniques and tactics of a football game are complex to say the least, but they are also very simple to say the least. It is nothing more than four words: develop strengths and avoid weaknesses.

There is no perfect team or perfect tactics in this world, there will always be loopholes and weaknesses. The player's ability characteristics and personal status will become important factors affecting the tactical effect.

The head coach's tactical arrangements and personnel deployment before the game, to put it bluntly, is to cover up his own shortcomings, give full play to his own advantages, and use his own strengths to attack the opponent's shortcomings.

Manchester United can also be classified as a technical team in the Premier League, but it is still not enough to compete with teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid in terms of technology.

Therefore, Manchester United can only rely on hard work, robbing, containment and interception in this game.

………………

As a UEFA five-star stadium, the San Siro Stadium or San Siro Stadium is very large, with a capacity of up to 80,000 people. However, according to UEFA's original ticket allocation plan, the two clubs will only get 18,000 tickets, and the remaining 44,000 tickets will be reserved by UEFA for relevant sponsors, member state football associations and other organizations. The most reserved votes created the most in the history of the Champions League final.

Real Madrid and Manchester United are very dissatisfied with UEFA's ticket allocation plan. They think that UEFA has left too many tickets for themselves and should give more to the teams participating in the final.

The dissatisfaction of the two clubs is justified, because in 2001, 15 years ago, the last time the San Siro Stadium hosted the Champions League final, Valencia and Bayern Munich each received 23,000 tickets, more than Real Madrid and Manchester United. 5,000 more each.

However, the goals of the two clubs were not achieved, and UEFA strongly rejected the two clubs' request for additional tickets.

Although neither Real Madrid nor Manchester United were able to allocate more tickets, when the game started, everyone who went to the stadium to watch the game,

Basically wearing the jerseys of Real Madrid and Manchester United respectively.

On such an occasion, no one will wear another club's jersey to provoke the scene. At most, some people were wearing ordinary clothes like suits, but the number was very small.

Judging from the size of the stands, the number of people wearing the jerseys of the two teams is roughly the same. Real Madrid wore white, while Manchester United played in red.

The referee is Blüch, a famous whistler from Germany. He is a referee with experience in law enforcement in many important competitions. However, what Ye Su remembers most about him is the Russian World Cup in another time and space. expelled by FIFA.

Blüsch has also enforced the direct dialogue between Real Madrid and Manchester United. In the first round of the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League knockout round, Real Madrid sat at the Bernabeu to face Manchester United. The referee at the time was Blüch. 1:1 draw with Real Madrid.

In addition, Blüch has also officiated two Manchester United games, namely, the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League group match Manchester United away from Galati Steel, and the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League group match Manchester United away from Braga. . In these two games, Manchester United won, with scores of 2:0 and 3:1 respectively.

………………

After warming up on the court, everyone is making final preparations.

On the way back to the dressing room, the coaching staff had already got Real Madrid's starting XI.

As Ye Su expected, the goalkeeper is Keylor Navas, the defense is Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe and Marcelo, the midfield is Casemiro, Modric and Kroos, and the BBC combination is on the front line.

"I hope everyone can start a little more steadily in this game." Ye Su told the players with a serious face.

Because the rhythm that Manchester United is most familiar with, needless to say, is fast!

Defend fast, attack fast, and counterattack faster!

However, Manchester United's opponent in this game is also the best team in the world that is good at quick counterattacks. Real Madrid, with Ronaldo and Bale, launched a quick counterattack, and there are really few lines of defense on this planet that can stop it.

That's why Ye Su asked the team to play it safe after the start of the game, to defend against Real Madrid's quick counterattack in case Real Madrid steals the ball.

"Real Madrid is also seeking stability. Judging from their starting lineup, they must have guessed our tactical intentions, so they will do their best to control the ball and the rhythm of the game, and we will use our pressing and pressing. , Try to bring the game into the rhythm we are most familiar with."

After explaining Manchester United's tactics again, Ye Su finally said, "Finally, I wish everyone good luck!"

In this critical final, sometimes luck is really important. An advanced goal, an avoidable mistake, maybe even a pass...God knows what will happen in the end of the game?

………………

Bertoni walked into the locker room quickly, holding the freshly released roster in his hand, Zidane said with a smile: "I got Manchester United's starting lineup."

Zidane copied it over and frowned.

Manchester United's starting lineup is 4231, the goalkeeper De Gea, the four backs are Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dijk and Kyle Walker, Kanter and Carrick partnered with double midfielders, and the three forwards were respectively It was Vardy, De Bruyne and Rooney, and Harry Kane shot forward with a single arrow.

"Rooney plays right midfielder? What kind of lineup is this?" Zidane was a little dumbfounded.

Manchester United has played 4231 in the past two seasons, and even most of the games are in this formation. But Rooney has never played a right midfielder.

"Ye Su has always been good at using oddballs. I didn't expect him to have such courage and determination in such an important match as the Champions League final. I really have to admire him." Zidane smiled slightly.

Judging from Ye Su's formation, he was still affected by his words.

This is not beyond Zidane's expectations. After all, Harry Kane was introduced by Manchester United at a record price. He did not come to the team to serve as a substitute for Rooney.

Betoni laughed and said, "Maybe he played himself to death?"

………………

When the two teams lined up and stood in the two halves of the field, Manchester United's Rooney and Harry Kane stood in the middle circle and prepared to kick off. This is the chance that Manchester United won when they guessed the side just now.

Just now, Rooney called everyone over and formed a circle, hoping that the team could fight for a charge at the beginning of the game. This is a consistent characteristic of the English team. They must start with momentum and bluff their opponents.

This trick may not seem new, but it actually works.

Rooney is ready to serve, and Harry Kane is slightly forward, so that the ball can be passed back immediately to avoid Real Madrid's pressing.

With the whistle of the referee Blüch, Rooney kicked the ball to Harry Kane, and Harry Kane passed back directly.

Sure enough, Real Madrid rushed up quickly and rushed directly towards the hinterland of Manchester United.

Carrick stopped the ball, adjusted quickly, passed to Maguire, and then split to the left.

Vardy was still standing on the left side near the center line at this time. After receiving a pass from Maguire, Casemiro and Carvajal both pressed towards him at the same time. He had to choose to pass back to Lu Ke Shaw.

Real Madrid's frontcourt players immediately pushed towards the England left back. Luke Shaw immediately picked a pass back to the middle of the midfield and gave it to Kante. The French midfielder gave Maguire a header.

But at this moment, Benzema actively stepped forward to press down.

Maguire made a mistake in his busy schedule and the ball was poked by Benzema. But fortunately the ball did not leave Manchester United's control. Luke Shaw made a long pass back to the penalty area and sent the ball back to De Gea's feet.

After the Spanish goalkeeper stopped the ball with his foot at the front of the small penalty area, he slowly moved forward and passed the ball to Kyle Walker on the right before Ronaldo.

Kyle Walker drove straight forward with a big foot and passed directly behind Modric.

Rooney ran after him.

………………

After Rooney chased the ball at his fastest speed, he got ahead of Modric. When the ball rebounded and fell quickly, he saw the right moment, kicked his right foot directly, and volleyed the ball into the penalty area. .

Manchester United's fast break from the right was very urgent this time, and only Ramos and Pepe came back from Real Madrid's penalty area. The former helped defend Modric on the outside of the penalty area, while Pepe blocked Harry Kane in the penalty area.

The England center forward is between Marcelo and Pepe, closer to the right than Pepe, so when Rooney passed the pass, he was in a better position than Pepe.

But the Portuguese central defender is very experienced. He blocked Harry Kane with his body so hard that he couldn't turn around even if he got the ball. Marcelo turned around and returned to the defense at the first time, pinching back and forth.

Harry Kane's physical fitness is good, and he judged where the ball will fall. After blocking Pepe with his body, he didn't let the ball stay at his feet, but stopped the ball directly to the outside of the penalty area.

Due to the pressing just now, both Casemiro and Toni Kroos were a little higher. When De Bruyne quickly stepped in, there was no defensive player at the front of Real Madrid's entire penalty area. Casemiro hadn't Have time to get back in place. Only Modric and Carvajal are still on the right side of the top of the arc, looking at Vardy.

De Bruyne caught up with Harry Kane's pass, stopped, adjusted his pace by the way, and made a diagonal pass with his right foot. The ball crossed the penalty area and fell towards the back of the goal.
