Chapter 597: The Game Begins!

Although this is the Allianz Arena, what makes Bayern Munich a little helpless is that, in theory, the stadium that hosts the final is a neutral stadium, and in the draw, Atletico Madrid drew the home team.

This means that Bayern Munich will only be able to use the away dressing room at the Allianz Arena and then wear the away shirt during the game – an unusual experience for Bayern Munich, who play more than 20 games in the stadium every season.

By the time the players went to the pitch to warm up, Gao Bo stood in the empty home team's dressing room.

The home team's dressing room at the Allianz Arena is naturally quite luxurious, and since it is the home stadium shared by Bayern Munich and Munich 1860, there is not much element about the two clubs in the home team's dressing room.

UEFA doesn't have to cover up these elements – they want to treat the stadium as if it were neutral anyway.

Gao Bo looked at the tactical board, and he wrote his guess of Bayern Munich's starters.

Then he propped his chin and looked at the tactical board to recall the Champions League final in his mind from another piece of history this season.

In his memory, the 2011-2012 Champions League final should have been played between Chelsea and Bayern Munich.

Chelsea's old boys withstood Bayern Munich's onslaught on the pitch and Didier Drogba levelled the scores with a header in the 88th minute.

In the 93rd minute of the game, Ribery won a penalty for Bayern. Arjen Robben took the penalty but the ball was saved by Cech, who turned 30 that day. Bayern missed the chance to finish the game. Before the penalty, Didier Drogba came to Ronaldo himself and said to Robben: "Robben, you're a Chelsea player, don't score this goal." As a result, Robben really didn't score.

Although Bayern still dominated the extra-time, the game still came to a brutal penalty shootout.

Chelsea eventually won the title on penalties!

It was a dramatic result.

Bayern Munich attacked all over the field and took the absolute initiative.

And Chelsea's iron-clad defence, a header from Didier Drogba, and Robben's missed penalty....

This gave Chelsea a historic Champions League victory.

Gao Bo was thinking about that game, and he was very impressed with this game at that time.

However, compared with Bayern in that game, Bayern has changed a lot now - Gao Bo's butterfly effect has made a lot of changes in the entire European football world.

The first is the composition of personnel.

Up front, Gomez went to the Premier League, while Bayern took Mandzukic early.

It's hard to say whether letting Gomez go and replacing Mandzukic will strengthen or weaken Bayern Munich's forward line.

At this stage, it seems that Gomez is a little more powerful, and Mandzukic is not yet fully mature.

However, Mandzukic's height and header are very good, and his replacement for Gomez will not have much impact on Bayern Munich's tactical aspects.

Then at centre-back, Boateng was snatched away by Gobo, so Heynckes gradually fixed Bayern's academy youngster Alaba in the central defender position, and his partnership with Ukrainian star Tymoshchuk gradually became a regular center-back combination for Bayern Munich.

Alaba is a bit shorter than Boateng, but his mobility and mental qualities, as well as his ability to defend one-on-one, are also good at centre-back.

Apart from these two important positions, Bayern Munich has not changed much in other positions.

Maybe Heynckes will really attack at home?

Gao Bo pondered silently.

From the pre-match interview and Heynckes' conversation, Gao Bo did not find any leakage of the German veteran's tactical aspects of the game.

Although Bayern Munich is often in the media, the secrecy is well done.

If you follow Gao Bo's memory of Bayern Munich's impression of Chelsea in this Champions League final, Bayern should have attacked at the Allianz Arena.

But now that the situation has changed so much, Bayern's lineup is different from their opponents, and Gao Bo has no idea what kind of tactical play Heynckes will choose in the end.

However, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.

Since it is not known what kind of tactical play Bayern will offer, Gao Bo can only use the tactics of Bayern Munich's usual games as a reference.

It's your own play that decides the game!

Gao Bo is still very confident in the strength of the team.

The key to the competition is to really give full play to your strength.

......

When the players returned to the locker room, Gao Bo also made the final mobilization of the team.

"Guys, I'm here today, I'm here on this pitch."

Gao Bo said calmly, and his players listened attentively.

After a few days of adjustment, the mentality of the players has relaxed a little and there is no tension as it was a few days ago.

"It was our last and most important game of the season. It's the final of the Champions League!! broke into the finals, but became a foil for others, this kind of thing is very unwilling just to think about it. ”

"I'm sure you won't be reconciled!"

"So this time, we're not here to get a runner-up, we're here to win the championship!"

"No matter who our opponent is, we are Atletico Madrid!!"

"We can beat any opponent, including Bayern Munich!"

Gao Bo's tone has been calm, and so have the players.

At this stage, there is no need for Gao Bo to fight chicken blood.

Atletico Madrid has participated in the Champions League final, and there are only two players who have participated in the Champions League final, Reyes and Lucio, and only Lucio has won the Champions League.

In this team, everyone's thirst for the Champions League does not need to be mobilized!

.......

When the players from both sides came on the field, Gao Bo stood in front of the coach's box.

Led by the famous German male singer Jonas Kaufmann, the theme song of the Champions League resounded at the Allianz Arena.

Jonas Kaufman is singing the praises of this great event with different prophecies.

French, English and German, this is the official prophecy of UEFA.

"This is the best team! They're the best choice for all the teams, it's a big event, it's all a championship, it's a gorgeous competition......... Champions! The best team! Great team ....."

Listening to the familiar melody, Gao Bo couldn't help but feel excited.

It's the best stage in European football.

Gao Bo pursed his lips, his face expressionless.

On the CCTV broadcast screen, accompanied by the theme song of the Champions League, a close-up of Gao Bo appeared in front of all the fans who watched the game.

Just after the singing stopped, Duan Xuan, who came to the scene to comment, took a deep breath.

"Audience friends! Here is the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League final broadcast live by CCTV for you, Atletico Madrid led by Chinese coach Gao Bo, against the German giants Bayern Munich!! ”

"Both teams are the main players!"

"Bayern Munich, goalkeeper Neuer, the center-back combination is the partnership of Tymoschchuk and Alaba, the right-back Lahm, the left-back Raphinha, the midfielder is the partner of Schweinsteiger and Kroos, in front of them is Muller, on the left and right sides of Muller, Robben and Ribery, and at the top is Bayern Munich's Croatian striker, Mandzukic!"

"On Atletico Madrid's side, Coach Gao Bo is still his fixed 433 formation, Atletico Madrid's starting line is not difficult to guess, and Coach Gao Bo does not plan to make any changes to his main lineup in this final, he is full of confidence! The goalkeeper is still Keylor Navas, and the center-back combination of Godin and Lucio is a fixed combination in the Champions League, with left-back Sandro, right-back Juanfran and midfielders N'Golo, Raul Garcia, Modric, and forwards Griezmann, Aguero, and Reyes! ”

While Duan Xuan was speaking, the players on both sides had already completed a series of rituals before the game.

Bayern Munich kicks off first. And Atletico Madrid won the right to pick the edge.

Raul Garcia opted for the end of the goal where his own fans were behind.

At this point, the players from both sides are standing in their respective positions.

Mandzukic put the ball on the soles of his feet and waited for the moment when the whistle blew.

He didn't have to wait long until the referee from Portugal, Pedro Ploenca, blew the whistle for the start of the match!

Under the watchful eye of a camera at the top of the pitch.

Under the watchful eyes of fans around the world!

Mandzukic kicks the ball back!

The competition is officially on!
