"Fellow spectators, welcome to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Now it's the 2008-2009 season, the UEFA Champions League final. ”

"The game is about to start. ”

"Today the local temperature in Rome is good, 23 degrees Celsius and 71 percent humidity, which is very suitable for the competition. ”

"Before the game, there will be a short opening ceremony at the Olympic Stadium with a performance. ”

"The scene is welcoming several heavyweight guests tonight. ”

"We can see Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in Italy, Prime Minister in China, President Horst Kohler from Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel, Prince William, the representative of the British royal family, and Prime Minister Gordon Brown in the United Kingdom. ”

"And last on the line are UEFA president Michel Platini and secretary-general Gianni Infantino. ”

"The pre-match warm-up performance began. ”

There was a chorus of chanting from the voice of the blind Italian tenor Bocelli, the theme song of the famous Hollywood movie Gladiator, and the actors played Jupiter, the king of the gods of ancient Rome, dressed in thunder and lightning. ”

"A group of costumed models walked onto the pitch with the St. Bride Cup, representing the fashion nation of Italy. “

Bocelli began to sing Handel's original Champions League theme music again, and the atmosphere was very strong. ”

"The game is about to start. ”

"We could see the live TV camera switch to the tunnel where players from both teams were lined up and ready to enter, and at the front was the referee of the match, Bussaka from Switzerland. ”

"The 40-year-old Busaka has a lot of experience, he is the head of a company and has been involved in nearly 80 UEFA matches since his first international game in 1999, and has been involved in more than 30 Champions League games. ”

Busaka has officiated five Champions League games this season, all of which have been decided within 90 minutes, and this season he has officiated Bayern Munich and Manchester United once each, both of which have been won. ”

"We'll see who the Swiss referee will bring good luck tonight. ”

"The two teams walked into the pitch quickly. ”

'We can see the starting line-ups for both teams in this game. ”

"Bayern Munich still adopts their own style of play in a four-three-three formation, with the goalkeeper being Germany's new international Manuel Neuer, the back line is Marcelo on the left and Lahm on the right, and the two central defenders are a combination of Hummers and Lucio. ”

"In midfield, Schweinsteiger was behind, Vidal and Luka Modric were up front, and the front three were unchanged, with Franck Franck Ribery, Sergio Aguero and Arjen Robben forming the most lethal attacking duo in Europe. ”

"It can be said that Bayern Munich gave their best in this game, and the lineup is also very neat. ”

"Let's look at Manchester United again. ”

"Ferguson played out United's traditional 442 formation in this game. ”

The goalkeeper is the Dutch veteran Van der Sar, the backline is Leyton Baines, Evans, Ferdinand and O'Shea, and the Portuguese central defender Pepe received a red card in the second leg of the semi-finals and unfortunately missed the final, so Ferguson arranged for the youngster Evans to start, and it is estimated that this position will be the weakness of Manchester United in this game. ”

'In midfield, Ryan Giggs on the left, Nemanja Matic and Michael Carrick in the middle, Fletcher on the right, and Tevez and Wayne Rooney up front are the two strikers. ”

"Ferguson hid Berbatov and instead used Tevez and Wayne Rooney to form a double striker, and fielded four players in midfield, with the intention of using the midfield to suppress Bayern Munich in this game. ”

Gao Han was in front of the home team's coach's box, and after seeing Manchester United's starting lineup, his first reaction was the same as everyone else, Ferguson wanted to use the numerical advantage to suppress Bayern Munich's midfield.

The old man still refused to hold on. Gao Han smiled and praised.

He knew Ferguson well and knew the temper of the Scotsman.

When facing Barcelona last year, Ferguson knew that his team could not play against the opponent, but he insisted on pressing out, which is absolutely irrational, but it is in line with his and Manchester United's personality.

Or should it be said that Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United have long since passed the stage where they need to prove themselves by results, and they are more sticking to their football philosophy and sticking to their own philosophy.

Sticking to the end is certainly not what Manchester United insist on, so they would rather lose the game than choose to press out.

The same goes for this game.

What's more, it is not unreasonable for him to choose so.

There are pros and cons to everything, Bayern Munich's players are participating in the Champions League final for the first time, and Manchester United opened the opening press to attack, maybe it will disrupt Bayern Munich's lineup?

As for the risk, Ferguson must have considered it, so he took Berbatov and arranged four midfielders.

The only surprise is that Paul Scholes did not start and is expected to play as a surprise player.

When Gao Han thought of this, he couldn't help but get excited.

This is the Ferguson he knew.

That's what makes the Champions League final interesting.

"Be careful, guys, you have to be steady at the beginning, stand firm first, take your time, you can't rush, you can't mess up, understand?"

Gao Han quickly walked to the sideline and shouted loudly at the players.

The players on the field also heard his shout and nodded in unison.

…………

…………

Ferguson was always haunted by last season's final.

Say regret, there must be something, after all, you lost in the final, but if you want to say envy, it is absolutely nothing.

As an experienced manager, Ferguson had already anticipated the possibilities before the game.

He knows better than anyone that if he goes on the defensive, there will definitely be a game to play, at least the outcome is unpredictable.

Manchester United have not defended, but Ferguson has always believed that retreating to the penalty area and adopting a strict defensive tactic is not what Manchester United should insist on.

Bravery has always been a team trait that he has always looked forward to.

So, he's always insisted on letting the team use what he's good at, in a positive way, to create better results.

What's the point of going against what you insist on, even if you get a good result?

So, he chose to press out in that game.

It's the same with this game!

Tonight is the Champions League final, a do-or-die showdown.

Like the gladiators as Bocelli sang, only one team can leave the arena with glory.

"Tell them to attack after the opening, and try to take out the opponent in one go!"

Ferguson commanded in a loud voice.

…………

…………

With the whistle of referee Busaka, the much-anticipated Champions League final finally kicked off.

Manchester United were the first to get kick-off.

At the beginning of the game, the Red Devils kicked the ball quickly and passed it directly to the backfield, but the players in the front field rushed quickly, and the two strikers were more like two sharp blades, directly towards the Bayern Munich goal.

The Bundesliga giants also retreated quickly, especially the backline, led by Lucio and Hummels, who retreated directly to the edge of the penalty area, but the Red Devils were menacing, and the ball was quickly passed to the midfield.

Carrick took the ball and shifted it to the left rib, and Giggs received the ball and led it down the middle, but when he entered the 30-metre area, he was tripped by midfielder Schweinsteiger and the referee's whistle blew.

It was the first foul of the game and United were awarded a set-piece in front.

A set-piece was created less than a minute into the game and the United fans in the stands looked excited.

Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney stood on either side of the penalty spot, a position far from the goal, a full 30 meters, and it was unlikely that they would hit the goal directly, so Bayern Munich was more likely to defend against Manchester United's players.

Unexpectedly, Giggs suddenly took a quick curling ball, with a strong spin, and went straight to the goal.

Neuer quickly made a judgment and stretched out his hands to hold the ball, but he didn't expect to let go.

This sudden change caused a riot in the entire penalty area, and the stands were even more exclaimed.

Tevez was quick to follow up and pick up a shot before everyone else, but Hummels flew to the ground to keep Tevez's follow-up shot out of the net.

It was only at this point that the entire Olympic Stadium exhaled.

Neuer raised his hand apologetically to his team-mate, saying that the danger was caused by his own mistake, and he looked a little nervous, while captain Lahm and teammates such as Schweinsteiger and Hummels walked over to comfort him.

Gao Han also clapped his hands vigorously on the sidelines, affirming that the players were doing well, don't rush, take your time.

Ryan Giggs ran into the corner, but this time, his corner was quickly swept out of the net by Neuer, who leaped high and plucked it out of mid-air before everyone else, giving United no chance to threaten the goal.

The German goalkeeper's strike also earned him a full cheer.

Bayern Munich sent a quick goal kick and Neuer sent the ball to right wing-back Lahm, but United didn't seem to have any intention of retreating, still pressing Bayern Munich fiercely up front.

With two strikers and four midfielders, Manchester United's frontcourt pressing is very strong, and Ferguson can be said to have invested enough.

Bayern Munich originally played a little cautious and cautious at the beginning, the players were all participating in the Champions League final for the first time, focusing on stability, so they were quickly suppressed by Manchester United, and the Red Devils used their own pressing and active running, making Bayern Munich's passing control difficult to spread, often making mistakes after two or three passes.

However, Bayern Munich are also very well organised defensively, and once they concede a goal, they immediately form a well-organized defensive layer that does not give United a chance to really threaten the goal.

It wasn't until the sixth minute that United had another chance.

It was another Tevez who fired a long-range shot from 30 yards out of the goal, which went slightly wide of the goal, but it made Bayern Munich break out in a cold sweat.

The Manchester United players started the game with a fierce press and played very aggressively.

Bayern Munich's midfield and backfield are very skillful, and both central defenders have strong ability to play the ball, so Ferguson arranged for Tevez and Rooney to press the two central defenders at the same time, and let Matic move forward to press Schweinsteiger.

This near-man-to-man pressing of the area, combined with the physical energy of the United players in the opening period, was a real headache for Bayern Munich, and it was even difficult for the ball to pass to the front court, let alone pose a threat.

Gao Han was also mentally prepared for such a start, in fact, Ferguson used it against Barcelona as early as last season, but Barcelona quickly reacted and attacked.

So this time, he took Berbatov and got on Fletcher, using four midfielders and two strikers at the same time.

This made Gao Han have to admire, Ferguson's tuning of Manchester United and his ability to understand tactics are indeed extraordinary, and he can play fresh tricks no matter how he plays.

But Manchester United must not be allowed to continue to attack like this, and Bayern Munich will definitely give a counterattack.

But just when Gao Han was thinking about countermeasures and preparing to make adjustments, something suddenly happened on the field.

Manchester United left-back Leiton Baines suddenly stepped forward and Ryan Giggs dribbled the ball towards Bayern Munich's right flank, attracting the attention of defenders such as Lahm, and then abruptly switched back to the left.

Without thinking, Layton Baines slotted a left-footed cross into the box.

At this time, Rooney quickly inserted in the back row, jumped high, blocked Lucio with his body, stopped the ball with his chest, and shot directly after landing on the ground.

The ball went straight to the goal with a thunderous momentum.

All the Bayern Munich fans in the stadium were shocked.
