By RB Leipzig, Julian Nagelsmann showed his outstanding abilities.
On November 7, 2019, RB Leipzig played against St. Petersburg Zenit Saint Petersburg. After this game, at the age of 32 years and 105 days, Nagelsmann became the youngest coach in history to lead the Champions League team for 10 games.
On February 20, 2020, Champions League 1/8 finals, RB Leipzig played against Tottenham Hotspur, which also made Nagelsmann, 32 years and 211 days old, the youngest head coach in the history of Champions League to lead a team to participate in the Champions League knockout rounds.
In March 2020, RB Leipzig defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 at home and advanced to the top 8 of the Champions League league with a total score of 4-0.
At 32 years and 231 days old, RB Leipzig coach Nagelsmann was able to set a new record again and became the youngest coach to lead his team to advance to the Champions League knockout round.
On April 14, 2020, in the Champions League quarter-finals, RB Leipzig 2-1 eliminated Atletico Madrid and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals. Therefore, at the age of 33 years and 21 days, Nagelsmann became the youngest head coach to lead his team to the Champions League semi-finals.
Finally, in the semi-finals, RB Leipzig lost to Paris Saint-Germain, and the magical pace finally stopped.
However, the top four of Champions League is also the best result of RB Leipzig in the Champions League competition.
In the Champions League of the 2020-2021 season, RB Leipzig once again rushed into the top 16, but they encountered the booming Liverpool team and finally stopped in the top 16.
In the summer of 2021, Nagelsmann, who left RB Leipzig, finally agreed to Bayern Munich's invitation and became the helmsman of Bayern Munich's Bundesliga overlord.
Nagelsmann built this Bundesliga tank perfectly. In the first year of Bayern Munich, he once again led the Bayern Munich team to the Champions League finals.
The opponent he faced was the team standing in front of him now, Manchester City.
As a result, Bayern Munich's striker Lewandowski showed his power and helped the Bayern Munich team win its seventh Champions League championship trophy.
Head coach Nagelsmann also became Europe's best coach last season.
Facing this young and famous head coach, Guardiola did not dare to relax at all.
He kept shouting on the sidelines to remind the players on the court of their positions and not to be fooled by the opponent's actions.
After Lewandowski dropped back to catch the ball, it was like a tiger entering the mountains. He took the ball threateningly several times in a row, which made the Manchester City players miserable.
In the 60th minute, Lewandowski once again dropped back to get the ball. Center back Stones couldn't help but take two more steps forward, and a gap appeared behind him.
Lewandowski used his heel to send the ball behind Stones. Winger Sane quickly stepped in like a magic weapon descending from heaven and dribbled the ball into Manchester City's penalty area.
Laporte rushed to defend, but Sane had already completed the shot.
Goalkeeper Ederson tried his best to save the ball, but was unable to stop the ball from entering the net.
Tied at 2:2, the big score is already 5:4, and the current gap between the two sides is only one goal.
Inside Etihad Stadium, the cheers of the fans suddenly became louder.
The fans encourage the team in their own way.
The Manchester City players had evil spirits in their eyes. Most of the players on the field have experienced the pain of the Champions League final last season.
This time, on our home court, we must not repeat the same mistakes again.
After the restart, Manchester City unexpectedly gave up the previous defensive counterattack style and began to consciously press the formation, preparing for a bayonet duel with Bayern Munich.
Guardiola After Bayern Munich scored the goal just now, he waved his hand and decided not to be a coward anymore.
Bayern Munich's tactics made Manchester City's players somewhat constrained. At this time, Guardiola made a very wise choice and left the game to the players.
"Li, this game is left to you, don't let them be so arrogant again!"
Guardiola called Li Mingyu to his side and whispered in his ear.
Li Mingyu nodded solemnly and said, "Boss, don't worry, the rest of the game will be left to me. I will definitely not let you down!"
Looking at Li Mingyu's back, Guardiola felt an inexplicable sense of stability in his heart.
Manchester City's aggressive attack made Bayern Munich feel uncomfortable for a while, because Manchester City's tactics throughout today's game were defensive counterattacks, and there were very few such aggressive attacks.
Li Mingyu kept running in the midfield, sending the football to the wings, constantly pulling Bayern Munich's line, trying to find an opening to pass the ball.
However, Bayern Munich's execution was still very firm. After a short press at the high position, they all retreated to within the half court, and then launched a small-scale siege, making Manchester City's offense difficult.
Li Mingyu calmly moved, passed and controlled, and clearly sorted out Manchester City's offense.
Nagelsmann on the sidelines looked at Li Mingyu with envy. Such a player is really rare. If he gives this player to himself, he can create a Champions League dynasty for Bayern Munich.
Li Mingyu's continuous passing of the ball made the players of Bayern Munich somewhat impetuous. After all, they were still lagging behind.
Kimmich saw that Li Mingyu was observing when receiving the ball, and the ball at his feet was slightly out of control, so he quickly grabbed the ball and prepared to intercept it.
But this is a little gotcha with Li Mingyu.
Although it looks like the football is slightly out of Li Mingyu's control, in fact Li Mingyu is using this ball to fish.
Seeing that the fish was hooked, Li Mingyu gently pulled it with his right foot, and then flicked it, and the football slipped between Kimmich's legs very obediently.
With a look of panic on his face, Kimmich quickly closed his legs, but his body refused to obey and he stumbled, almost sitting on the ground.
Kimmich, who had lost his defensive position, could only watch as Li Mingyu passed by him and got the football that passed through his crotch.
Kimmich's loss of position caused Bayern Munich's defense to become chaotic.
The central defender Alaba, who came over to defend, wanted to use his body to lean towards Li Mingyu, but Li Mingyu accelerated outward and broke through, easily shaking Alaba over.
After shaking Alaba away, Li Mingyu didn't pause at all. He raised his right foot and made an exquisite through ball, sending the football behind the last central defender Boateng in the penalty area.
Boateng felt very uncomfortable when he saw the ball passed, because the ball was passed so badly, right in front of his eyes, but he couldn't reach it.
He could only watch helplessly as the football slid past him and rolled towards the back of the goal.
