Within 14 minutes, Bayern Munich was scored twice. This was a big blow to the fans of Bayern Munich and Bayern Munich. This was UEFA Champions League. It was only 15 minutes after falling behind by two goals. So how can we play after this?
If you attack, you will miss out on defense. If you don't attack, you will lose. Isn't this a dilemma?
So in the 15th minute, a discordant scene occurred in the Allianz Arena stands: A Bayern Munich fan threw a plastic cup into the stadium in the south stand, and it landed near the Manchester United fan area.
Immediately afterwards, Bayern Munich fans who were in a bad mood threw debris one after another, and fell behind 0:2 in 15 minutes. They were angry and needed to vent their anger, but this was considered restrained.
Referee Rizzoli suspended the game and asked security personnel to clear the venue.
The fourth official walked to the sidelines and made announcements in German and English, warning fans not to throw objects.
Martin said in the studio, "Throwing debris again. How many times has this happened this season UEFA Champions League? UEFA needs to take more stringent measures."
Neville: "Yes, the same was true in the last match between Barcelona and Manchester United. The team's lagging behind did make the fans dissatisfied and want to vent, but it could not affect the game on the field.
Fans throw things, the referee stops the game, and the players stand on the field waiting. It feels bad and interrupts the flow of the game."
In the 18th minute, Bayern Munich finally played his own rhythm. Ribéry broke through from the left and passed in. Gómez headed the ball from the edge of the small penalty area. De Gea bravely lifted the ball over the crossbar.
All fans in the audience exclaimed "Wow", Manchester United fans were afraid, Bayern Munich fans felt regretful, and neutral fans secretly exclaimed a pity.
Martin: "De Gea! World-class save! Ribéry's cross was so accurate. Gómez's header was almost certain to go in, but De Gea lifted the ball out with his fingertips! This is the value of a top goalkeeper."
Neville: "Bayern Munich quickly stabilized its lagging position. It deserves to be a top team. This ability to stabilize its mentality is superb."
In the 21st minute, after Bayern Munich's corner kick attack failed, Manchester United team took possession of the ball, and it was Evra who passed the ball directly from the backcourt to the center line, and Zhang Kuang started.
But this time Bayern Munich did not send anyone to chase Zhang Kuang. Instead, many players rushed to their own penalty area, and some of them went to Zhang Kuang's forward line to stop Zhang Kuang and slow him down.
But these were of no use. After Zhang Kuang broke through Lahm from the left, he found that the offensive line was indeed blocked, and even Hernández's position was not good.
But Zhang Kuang still hit the goal with a kick that seemed like a shot and a pass, but the ball was not heading towards the goal at all, but towards the right side of the small penalty area. By the time everyone reacted, Rooney had already rushed over and kicked the ball.
Martin: "Zhang Kuang's shot... was not a pass. Rooney made a late shot and the ball went in... ah, the ball was high and went out of the baseline."
Neville: "What a pity. This ball is such a good opportunity. Rooney As long as the angle is lower, the ball will be there. Because no one blocked it, Neuer didn't even come back."
Rooney knelt on the ground, held his head and sighed, regretting that he missed this opportunity. The "oh" sounds from the fans in the audience were the resonance of various complicated emotions.
Martin: "Zhang Kuang's breakthrough is too scary. Lahm can't keep up with him at all. Look at this pass, Zhang Kuang can still pass such an accurate ball while running at high speed. This is the ability of a world-class player. It's a pity that Rooney's shot was too high."
Neville: "I believe Bayern Munich has once again experienced what the ultimate counterattack is. Just over a minute later, it was Bayern Munich's corner kick, and more than a minute later, it was Rooney's late shot. The speed of this counterattack is really amazing."
"..."
The famous coaches and big guys in the box were all drooling with envy. Such a top player was like a cash cow, making their hearts flutter.
In the 24th minute, Schweinsteiger pulled down Giggs who was dribbling the ball in the midfield. Rizzoli blew the whistle and showed a yellow card.
This made Bayern Munich players and Bayern Munich fans dissatisfied, because before Carrick knocked down Müller with just a verbal warning, but now Schweinsteiger has to give a card for knocking down Giggs. They think it is unfair.
But the referee ignored it and still gave a card, which made Heynckes on the sidelines very angry. This penalty may make Schweinsteiger afraid to make moves. Doesn't this destroy Bayern Munich as a midfielder?
Martin: "Schweinsteiger's foul was timely. Giggs has already started to speed up. If he is allowed to pass, Manchester United will be a three-on-three. Tactical foul, Rizzoli shows a yellow card. This is the first yellow card in this game."
Neville: "Although Bayern Munich players and fans are very dissatisfied, this yellow card is not illegal. I believe neutral fans can see it more clearly."
"..."
Commentators from major TV stations are all giving "fair" and "objective" explanations on this penalty. Of course, these people have different opinions and wisdom.
The game continues.
In the 27th minute, Kroos got the ball in midfield and quickly passed it to Robben. Robben broke through from the right and made a pass. Gómez scored with a shovel shot from the edge of the small penalty area.
Bayern Munich 1-2 Manchester United.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Gómez! Bayern Munich got a goal back! Robben's cross So accurate, Gómez scored with a shovel shot from the edge of the small penalty area! 1-2! Bayern Munich pulled a goal back! This is Bayern Munich! They played very bravely today!"
Neville: "Gómez's ball is so beautiful. You see when he double-checks, Evans completely loses track. This is experience. Gómez has played for Bundesliga for so many years, he knows how to find space in the penalty area."
He Wei: "The ball went in, Gómez's goal! 1-2! Robben broke through from the right and passed in, Gómez scored with a shovel shot from the edge of the small penalty area, De Gea couldn't make the save!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, Manchester United's defense made a mistake with this ball. Evans missed Gómez and gave him too much space. If a player like Gómez succeeds in outflanking him from behind, he will definitely score a goal."
Pulling back a goal made Bayern Munich players and fans secretly breath a sigh of relief. There was a huge difference between being behind by only one goal and being behind by two goals.
The fans of Manchester United were filled with regrets. It was a pity that Bayern Munich took a huge lead back by one goal.
Neutral fans, on the other hand, cheered with joy. It's exciting to come back and forth. If it's one-sided, it's nonsense. Why don't we just award the trophy directly to Manchester United?
In the 32nd minute, the first conflict broke out between the two sides. Rooney was knocked down by Contento while breaking through from the right, and Rizzoli whistled for a free kick.
But Rooney got up and pushed Contento. Contento immediately fell to the ground, and players from both sides quickly surrounded him.
Rizzoli intervened and verbally warned Rooney and Contento, but no yellow cards were shown.
Martin: "Wow, the smell of gunpowder started. Rooney pushed Contento, and Contento fell to the ground. Players from both sides gathered around, and Rizzoli intervened and gave a verbal warning. This is the UEFA Champions League final, and the players are very excited."
Neville: "Rooney should not have done this action. He has been brought down and the referee has also called a free kick. He pushed Contento. If Rizzoli were stricter, it would be a yellow card. Rooney needs to control his emotions."
After the referee clarified the situation, the players from all sides stood up again. Zhang Kuang stood in front of the free kick. Bayern Munich was extremely nervous.
Because they all know how powerful Zhang Kuang's free kicks are, and they have always avoided giving Manchester United a perfect free kick opportunity before, but this time they really have no choice.
Neuer has a fierce expression, and Zhang Kuang is the fateful enemy he has met. He already hates Zhang Kuang, but he is also frightened by Zhang Kuang's shooting skills, which can shoot through his five fingers every time.
Zhang Kuang stood in front of the ball and adjusted his breathing. He was not going to retreat for a run-up. At this distance, he could hit super high speed from where he was.
"Beep!"
As the referee blew the whistle, Zhang Kuang immediately swung his feet on the spot and violently volleyed. The ball flew straight out, then jumped over the crowd, broke through and fell suddenly.
Neuer was originally going to pounce on the left wing, but the ball suddenly hit the upper right corner. He quickly adjusted his posture to pounce, but the ball had already been knocked down.
With a 'bang' sound, before Neuer could tackle the ball, the ball hit the goal frame hard and then bounced out.
Martin: "Zhang Kuang's volley from the spot... the ball jumped over the wall and hit the upper right corner. The ball went in... ah, hit the door frame. Rooney's header shot... had no force. Neuer picked the ball off..."
Neville: "This goal is really a pity. Bayern Munich escaped two disasters. Last time it was Rooney's follow-up shot. This time it was Zhang Kuang's free kick that hit the door frame. Rooney's follow-up shot failed again. I have to say that Bayern Munich's luck is really good."
The Bayern Munich fans in the stadium clapped excitedly, and some even shouted, "God is on Bayern Munich's side." The fans who heard this had to be a little shaken. It seemed that God was really on Bayern Munich's side?
Zhang Kuang also shook his head. This ball... he really didn't let it go. He just looked at goalkeepers like Neuer. You have to have a very tricky angle to avoid him, so he pursued a narrower angle, but he didn't expect it to hit the door frame.
In the 36th minute, Bayern Munich almost equalized. Robben cut in from the right and volleyed with his left foot. The ball missed the left goal post.
He Wei: "Robben's shot flew out of the goal post, giving the impression that Bayern Munich is getting closer and closer to the goal. Manchester United should cheer up."
Zhang Lu: "Yes, after Bayern Munich pulled back a goal and avoided two inevitable goals from Manchester United, their energy status seems to have improved a lot, and their fighting will is very high."
The game continued. Ferguson shouted at the players on the sidelines. He didn't know what he was shouting. The words between the head coach and the players on the field were all encrypted and could not be understood by outsiders.
After Ferg's shouting, Manchester United did a lot better. Bayern Munich no longer had any room to break through, and the strangulation in the midfield became even more brutal.
Bayern Munich's two wings, especially the left wing Ribéry, played almost no role, and Ribé was also anxious.
The time came to the 42nd minute. The two teams continued to strangle in the midfield. Carrick intercepted the ball from Ribéry who was retreating to get the ball. Ribéry was angry again but helpless. When he wanted to get it back, Carrick had passed the ball to the right. Rooney got the ball from the right and then rushed forward. The quick reaction started again...
All the fans screamed with excitement, hoping for a more exciting scene to appear. Contento followed Rooney closely. Although there was no way to surpass Rooney, it did not make Rooney feel better.
Just when Rooney wanted to cut inside, Contento blocked Rooney's inside cut, but did not cut off Rooney's ball. Rooney didn't think too much and immediately made a sweeping pass.
Hernández has already outflanked Hernández, but the goalkeeper Neuer has already attacked in advance. He quickly blocked Hernández's goal path. Hernández is also surrounded by Tymoshchuk, who either hits the goal or gets intercepted...
But who is Hernández? Although he is not a top superstar, he is also a first-class shooter, so he swiped directly to the left, and the ball swept to the left. However, the angle of his swipe was a little bit behind, causing Zhang Kuang's sprint to miss.
If this was a high ball, Zhang Kuang might have a scorpion swinging its tail, but this is a ball close to the earth, which is really difficult for ordinary people to handle, so they can only run over and give up.
But who is Zhang Kuang?
Without saying a word, he braked suddenly, then fell forward and stretched his right foot back to make a hook, allowing Lahm who came to grab the ball to miss the ball.
Martin: "Wow, Zhang Kuang, what kind of action is this? Can you also hit the ball after braking suddenly? This is a century-old difficulty and requires a lot of balance and control..."
Neville: "Yes, most people give up on the ball. I didn't expect Zhang Kuang to be able to hook the ball back."
The changes on the field are ever-changing. After Zhang Kuang hooked the ball back, it took some time to get up, so Lahm stood in front of him, blocking his offensive route.
But is it difficult? We are only a few meters away from the goal, so Zhang Kuang pretends to want Stepovers, and Lahm immediately stands up, ready to block Zhang Kuang's Stepovers pass.
Just as soon as Lahm stood up, his free crotch was exposed. Zhang Kuang suddenly passed the ball with a twist, and the ball passed quickly and urgently to the center. Ashley Young ran here without knowing when, and he volleyed hard at the ball.
Neuer couldn't react in time, because he was facing Zhang Kuang on the left just now. Zhang Kuang's pass was fast and concealed, and Ashley Young's shot didn't make any adjustments.
So...
The ball was whipped into the center goal, a ball without any technical content, just scored.
Martin's voice roared, "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zhang Kuang assisted, Ashley Young scored! Manchester United expanded the lead again, Manchester United 3:1 Bayern Munich.
The ball first came from Rooney's breakthrough from the right, then from Hernández's failed pass, but he passed it, then from Zhang Kuang's extreme hook, from Zhang Kuang's unexpected pass, and finally from Ashley Young's direct shot without stopping.
This attack highlighted the characteristics of Manchester United's quick transition, first right, then center, then left, then left, then center again, and it was scheduled in a very short period of time, which made Bayern Munich's defense a bit chaotic, right now, now center, now left, and finally suddenly in the middle again, it's so exciting."
Neville: "Haha, Manchester United's offense this time is very layered, well-organized, coordinated smoothly, and extremely fast. It's almost all a one-foot pass. It's just that Zhang Kuang added a hook, then held the ball and then passed the ball with a trick kick.
The most amazing thing is Zhang Kuang's back hook and trick pass. I believe no one expected Zhang Kuang to have such two unexpected moves. They are quite wonderful and wonderful. 10% of the credit goes to. Carrick, 30% of the credit goes to Rooney, 10% goes to Hernández, 30% goes to Zhang Kuang, 20% goes to Ashley Young..."
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in, wow, this ball is really exciting, Rooney's breakthrough from the right, Hernández's middle Passing the ball, Zhang Kuang's extreme hook and trick pass on the left, and Ashley Young's non-stop shooting in the middle. This set of coordination is dazzling, soul-stirring, and flowing. It is really wonderful."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this is Manchester United's offensive system. They have maximized their offensive speed and integrated their offensive coordination into a silky smooth one. The goal just made was all a decision made by each player within half a second. There was no adjustment or observation at all. It was done by instinct. Then teammates cooperated and finally scored.
It is said that the combination of Barcelona is as smooth as mercury, but I think the combination of Barcelona is far inferior to the combination of Manchester United, which is extremely smooth and fast..."
At this time, the commentators from various TV stations in the stadium's commentary box were extremely excited, and they were all shouting explanations, but these voices were still drowned in the shouts of the fans at the scene.
Ashley Young had already knelt down and walked far away, and the Manchester United players also went over to celebrate.
Ferguson was also chewing gum excitedly and was very satisfied.
Heynckes shook his head and sighed, this ball really has no solution, there is nothing we can do.
Stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo also applauded enthusiastically in the stands. This goal is awesome.
The big shots in the box...
After a while, the game continues!
In the next three minutes, Bayern Munich tried to launch an attack and get another goal before the end of the first half. After all, being behind 1:3 is different from being behind 2:3.
But the players in Manchester United's midfield and backfield were already as excited as chicken blood because the team just took the lead again. They didn't want to embarrass the team at this time.
So in these three minutes Bayern Munich tried to get a goal back, but it was difficult to achieve success.
1 minute of added time in the first half.
Finally, after Evra kicked Ribéry's breakthrough ball out of bounds, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
At halftime, Manchester United led 3-1.
The suspense is almost gone.
Manchester United will defeat Bayern Munich in the final of UEFA Champions League to win the Triple Crown for the second time. The last time was in 1998, which was Manchester United's first triple crown. He won it by defeating Bayern Munich in the final of UEFA Champions League.
Will Bayern Munich become the green leaf of Manchester United again?
No, Bayern Munich players said they don't like the color green. They can't go green again after it's been green once, right?
So when the players of Bayern Munich looked at the players of Manchester United when they came off the field, all of them had fire in their eyes, especially Neuer. There was an extremely abnormal light flashing in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Kuang. He could hardly hold it back, as if he was going to pounce on Zhang Kuang in the next second!
