Chapter 535: Calm? Anxious?

In the first leg of the quarter-finals, Bayern played away from home. For the matchup between these two teams, in terms of winning percentage, Bayern is theoretically bigger, but because it is away from home, Bayern still can't be careless.

Manchester United have had a poor season, and since Alex Ferguson stepped down last year, new arrival David Moyes seems to have taken United into a different team, currently sitting fifth in the league, with little hope of winning the league and not only that, but they also have to work hard to qualify for next season's Champions League. But for now, they still have one goal, and that is the Champions League.

Facing Bayern at home, Moyes admitted that Bayern is strong, and also admitted that there is a little gap between Manchester United and Bayern in terms of strength. He specifically mentioned Zhang Shujie: "This is a person we have to pay attention to, I know it will be difficult to stop him from scoring, but my players will definitely do their best to intercept him." ”

Bayern's biggest certainty of promotion is two, one is that the team as a whole is very strong, and the other is that there are goalscorers like Zhang Shujie. However, when the whole Bayern team arrived in Manchester, there was unexpected news: Zhang Shujie was injured.

He was accidentally kicked by Dante during training in the team, and after being examined by the team doctor, it was determined that Zhang Shujie's injury was not serious, and he would recover in about three days, and he would not miss the next round of the next year's game, but he would definitely not be able to play in the Champions League with Manchester United. Guardiola had no choice but to criticize Dante. After this incident, it may be a little difficult for Dante to get Guardiola's reuse again.

Zhang Shujie can't help it, the game will start the day after tomorrow, in fact, he wants to endure and continue to play, but Guardiola disagrees, this is an away game after all, as long as Bayern does not lose, then there will be a great chance to return to the home field, so Guardiola will not let Zhang Shujie take risks.

In desperation, on the day of the game, Zhang Shujie could only go to the stands to watch the game.

After Moyes learned the news, he thought it was a smoke bomb released by Bayern at first, but it was officially confirmed that Zhang Shujie was indeed unable to play. Now he was overjoyed, but he said: "I think it must be a pity that my players can't compete with such a great striker as him." ”

Guardiola couldn't guess Moyes's little ninety-nine, so he fought back: "It doesn't matter, the players of Manchester United in the second leg will be honored to be Zhang Shujie's opponent." ”

Moyes ignored Pep Guardiola's words as he was busy reworking his team's tactics. He wants to take advantage of Zhang Shujie's inability to play and try to beat Bayern on his home turf.

David Moyes played the strongest lineup in the game, and the forward trident led by Wayne Rooney couldn't wait to attack the Bayern backfield at the beginning of the game. Bayern Munich is not so impatient, after all, this is someone else's territory, even if the team goes back with a point, when it arrives at the Allianz Arena, it still occupies the initiative.

There were seven shots on goal in the first half, and it was not difficult to see from this statistic that it was a somewhat uneventful first half. Among them, Manchester United had four shots on goal, Bayern Munich three, and none of them scored. David Moyes was unhappy with his team's performance, and he could see that Pep Guardiola was defence-oriented, but even so, United managed to get four shots on goal, none of which belonged to Rooney's number one star.

Moyes guessed that Guardiola should still be able to defend in the second half, so Moyes explained to his disciples that in the last 45 minutes of the game, he still focused on attacking, scoring as many goals as possible, and scoring a few goals.

Moyes guessed right, although Bayern still dominated possession, but in attack they did not play as well as before, which had a lot to do with their loss of Zhang Shujie. If the attack is blocked or the ball is cut off by Manchester United, then Manchester United's attack will continue to flow like a tidal wave.

Zhang Shujie sat quietly in the stands, watching his teammates fight on the field. He'd love to be one of them, too, but it's a damn injury......

Fortunately, the injury was not serious, otherwise he would have hated Dante to death. Just yesterday, Yan Tao scolded Dante fiercely in front of Zhang Shujie in private, and wondered if Dante did it on purpose.

Zhang Shujie said at the time: "If he did it on purpose, he should have kicked you instead of me, because I didn't have any competition with him." ”

Yan Tao reacted and said, "It seems to be right." ”

"Dante didn't mean to, I can see that, and he's apologized to me, so we don't have to worry about it and it's only three days and I'll be back on the pitch soon. ”

***************

In the game, Manchester United, who had been attacking, only had one attack in the first ten minutes of the second half, but they did not expect that it was this time that they scored.

In the 60th minute, United were awarded a free-kick in front, Wayne Rooney crossed into the box, and Vidic had the upper hand in the battle with Yan Tao, heading past Manuel Neuer. Manchester United lead Bayern Munich 1:O at home.

Watching the celebration of the Manchester United players, Zhang Shujie couldn't sit still, he was in the stands, if he was on the bench, maybe he would take the initiative to play. Mandzukic, who came off the bench in this game, was average, not a threat on the offensive end, and rarely photographed.

Fortunately, with half an hour to go, he was still calm, and the moment he saw Vidic's goal, he just pouted and didn't make any other moves.

Pep Guardiola has also realised some of the problems and changed some tactics, from a defensive style to an attacking one. With a goal in hand, Manchester United gradually tightened their formation and lured Bayern to attack, so that there would be some gaps in their backfield and United could continue to expand the score.

In the 64th minute, Mandzukic and Muller wasted two chances in a row in front. Speaking of which, Muller is even bleaker than Mandzukic today, and the free kick that Rooney assisted for Vidic before was caused by an unnecessary foul by Muller in the defense.

Two minutes later, Pep Guardiola replaced Muller with Gotze, Bayern's first substitution of the game. United then made a substitution, with David Moyes replacing the exhausted Ryan Giggs with Japanese star Shinji Kagawa.

A few minutes later, it was already the 76th minute, Bayern still did not equalize, the number of shots on goal was a lot, it had reached 11, but what was the use of no more shots without a goal?

Seeing that time was getting less and less, the look on Zhang Shujie's face became serious. Chen Hui was looking for him in the stands with a telescope, because Zhang Shujie had previously told him where he was, and Chen Hui also knew where he was probably sitting.

Chen Hui saw Zhang Shujie's facial expression clearly through the binoculars, although he was still sitting very quietly, but the slightly furrowed brow showed that he was half calm and half anxious at the moment.
