Martin concluded in the studio. "It was 3-1 at halftime. This score is acceptable to Manchester United, but not acceptable to Bayern Munich. Being behind by one goal is fine, but being behind by two goals will make the second half extremely difficult."
Neville: "Zhang Kuang contributed two goals and one assist in the first half. He was the most eye-catching player on the field. His speed dominated Lahm's. He pushed the ball after a breakthrough and scored a goal. An assist was even more interesting. It was the cooperation between the four players. In the end, Zhang Kuang controlled the ball to the extreme and assisted with his feet.
Bayern Munich's defense is completely helpless against Zhang Kuang. No player can limit him with speed, and no player can limit him with body. Neuer's roar and intimidation cannot scare Zhang Kuang at all.
Heynckes needs to make adjustments at halftime, maybe have Gustavo focus on Zhang Kuang, maybe have Boateng and Tymoshchuk changes position. But no matter how you adjust it, you must do two things: first, get Zhang Kuang out of the game, and second, Bayern Munich needs to score, and score more than two goals."
Martin: "Gary, your analysis is very good, but the two points you mentioned, if you were Heynckes, would you be able to do it?"
Neville: "Well, I'm afraid I can't do this. Even if Bayern Munich wants to cash in, he can't use a player to tackle Zhang Kuang's foot so that Zhang Kuang ends up playing. You have to know that no player can hurt Zhang Kuang."
Martin: "So... this is an unsolvable problem, Bayern Munich is in trouble."
Not only Sky Sports has analysis in midfield, but other TV stations also have analysis in midfield, and the direction of analysis is similar. After all, there is a lot of information that is transparent, and the facts are there. The analysis will only be objective based on the data. If it is separated from the data, it is not analysis, it is obscenity, it is conjecture.
Of course, analysts can also say, 'Bayern Munich is not completely without a chance in the second half. After all, miracles are not created once or twice on the football field, so I hope Bayern Munich can create a miracle in the second half.'
In addition to various analyses, various websites, social media, etc. are also busy and the discussions are lively.
The owners and head coaches of those big clubs are discussing how to poach Zhang Kuang. Jonathan's phone number has been flooded with calls, and people are queuing up to meet him for coffee.
Not only calls from wealthy clubs, but also calls from many advertisers.
Advertisers are very dissatisfied with Zhang Kuang. So far, he has only accepted three advertising endorsements. This is too few and far from realizing his commercial value as the world's top shooter. They beg Zhang Kuang to sign more advertisements and dig deeper into his commercial potential.
After the halftime break, players from both sides began to enter the field, and Bayern Munich took the lead in making substitutions.
In the 46th minute, Bayern Munich made a substitution. Gustavo replaced Tymoshchuk, and Heynckes strengthened the midfield defense.
Martin: "Gustavo comes on, Bayern Munich's midfield defense will be strengthened. Tymoshchuk's performance today was average, so this substitution is not surprising."
Neville: "With a three-back formation, three midfielders, and four frontcourt formations, Bayern Munich is going to have to fight hard. Of course, since Neuer has a large range of activities and can be regarded as a half-back, this kind of formation change is no problem for ordinary teams, but I don't know what will happen if it is put in front of Manchester United. I wish Bayern Munich good luck..."
With the whistle of Rizzoli, the second half officially begins.
After the kick-off, Bayern Munich tried to steal the opening, but failed and let Manchester United steal the ball instead.
In the 49th minute, after the ball passed slowly through Manchester United's midfield and backcourt, it suddenly passed from Giggs's feet to Zhang Kuang, Zhang Kuang caught the ball and turned around to break through. Gustavo kicked Zhang Kuang from behind. Who is Zhang Kuang? How could he be kicked?
So Zhang Kuang raised his foot and then kicked it in the opposite direction, hitting Gustavo's sole with the sole of his foot.
With a snap, it hit the mark.
"Ah!"
Gustavo immediately covered his feet and screamed in pain, then Rizzoli blew the whistle and ran over quickly.
Zhang Kuang: "Mr. referee, give him a red card quickly. He just committed a flagrant foul and tried to kick my foot off."
Gustavo: "Ah, he, he, he, the evil one, complained first. It was obvious that he kicked my feet on purpose..."
Zhang Kuang: "Mr. Referee, what you saw was that I just bumped into him while avoiding danger, and he pretended to be injured and screamed, just to avoid the foul of intentionally kicking someone..."
Gustavo: "Obviously you did it on purpose."
Zhang Kuang: "Would you like to watch the replay video? Who did it on purpose? You kicked me on purpose and you said I did it on purpose?"
Gustavo:"Who doesn't know you..."
Rizzoli: "Okay, I see clearly, I know what's going on..."
Before Rizzoli finished speaking, the players from Bayern Munich and Manchester United gathered around him. The Bayern Munich player angrily pointed at Zhang Kuang and scolded him for wanting to kill people. The Manchester United player pointed at the opponent's eyes and scolded the opponent for being blind. Who kicked whom first?
The two teams formed a huddle and were about to start a fight. At this time, the linesman and the fourth official rushed over, and the bench on the sidelines was also excited, as if they were about to fight.
The audience at the scene was even more excited. They were cheering and wanted the two teams to fight.
Martin: "Ah, maybe this is really Heynckes's conspiracy. He wants to use Gustavo to redeem Zhang Kuang."
Neville: "You don't have to look at it to see that this is the intention. I didn't expect that Bayern Munich, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also use this kind of dirty trick? Isn't this exclusive to Barcelona? Is it because you want to tell Bayern Munich's new coach next season that they use this method to express that they will be a good match for Guardiola?"
Martin: "Well, we can't rule out the possibility."
At this moment, the players on both sides were persuaded to stand down, and Rizzoli showed Gustavo and Zhang Kuang a yellow card each.
This made Zhang Kuang very dissatisfied. "Why should I be given a yellow card? I am the one who was kicked, and I still need to receive a yellow card after being kicked? Mr. referee, your decision is very unconvincing. Hundreds of millions of eyes around the world are watching..."
Rizzoli: "Okay, Zhang, although Gustavo committed a foul, you also retaliated. This retaliation is also a foul."
Zhang Kuang: "How can I take revenge? I..."
Rizzoli: "Okay, don't think that fans all over the world don't know that you always retaliate on the spot in a pretending reasonable way. Let me tell you, I will not condone you."
Zhang Kuang: "You are slandering. You slandered me. You slandered me. I am unjust. I want to report you. I want to ask a lawyer to sue you. You slandered me..."
At this time, Ferguson on the sidelines issued instructions to the players on the field to persuade Zhang Kuang to move away and not let him get a red card. It would be more of a loss than a gain.
In the end, Zhang Kuang was dragged away by Rooney and Hernández. The storm was basically over. Gustavo was very unhappy and failed to deal with Zhang Kuang. He even received a yellow card and it was difficult to do the next move.
Heynckes is also very regretful. He did not deal with Zhang Kuang. Instead, he became passive now. The only reason is that the players of Bayern Munich are too thin-skinned. If it were the players of Barcelona who had just attacked Zhang Kuang during the collective conflict and then fell to the ground.
Or you can come up and ask Zhang Kuang to kick or hit him. Anyway, you are forcing Zhang Kuang to take action, and finally take down Zhang Kuang.
Alas, why didn't you explain it clearly during halftime?
However, relying on this little trick, Bayern Munich's performance is really not smooth.
Forget it, forget it, trying to imitate others has become self-defeating. Those who have never studied acting should not force themselves to be the leading actor.
As the game continued, Bayern Munich's players were still accustomed to using their skills to crush their opponents on the court, which made them feel more comfortable playing.
In the 52nd minute, Bayern Munich had three midfielders, so Ashley Young's ball was intercepted by Schweinsteiger, and then he kicked it to Ribéry.
After Ribéry got the ball, he broke through from the left. Ribéry's breakthrough was really sharp, and he rushed to the bottom line of Manchester United. In the end, he did not adjust and passed directly. Gómez leaned on Ferdinand and swept the ball to the left. Robben volleyed with his left foot from the top of the arc in the penalty area, and the ball hit the upper right corner.
De Gea pounced on it immediately, then slowed down a little, and the ball grazed his fingertips and rushed into the net.
The ball went in!
Manchester United 3-2 Bayern Munich.
He Wei: "The ball went in, Robben's goal, this is a world wave! 2-3! Bayern Munich got another goal back! Robben volleyed with his left foot from the top of the arc in the penalty area, and the ball hit the upper right corner! De Gea was beyond reach! This is Robben! This is the star of Bayern Munich!
Moreover, this ball is a mature routine of Bayern Munich. Both wings fly together. Gómez plays an obvious role as the midfield fulcrum. They used this move to kill everyone in Bundesliga. They also reached the finals in UEFA Champions League. Manchester United was not spared either and was hit.
Now there is only one goal difference. Let's see how Manchester United responds. Unexpectedly, Bayern Munich is really tenacious. No wonder they can eliminate Real Madrid. Bayern Munich's strength should not be underestimated."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, Bayern Munich is a strong team, otherwise they would not be able to enter the UEFA Champions League finals. Everyone sees that Bayern Munich has not been able to win consecutive league championships in recent years and thinks that Bayern Munich is not good enough. This is wrong.
It's not that Bayern Munich is not strong enough, but Bundesliga's teams have greatly improved in strength in recent years, and Wolfsburg, Dortmund, Leverkusen and other teams are not weak.
Therefore, it is wrong to judge Bayern Munich as a weak team because it failed to win the league. It is still a strong team, a very strong team. Manchester United must be careful..."
After pulling back a goal, Bayern Munich's confidence was restored, as if they saw the hope of equalizing and overtaking, so everyone's desire to attack became stronger, which formed a wave of Bayern Munich's strong attacks, which made Manchester United a little unable to resist.
In the 55th minute, Robben broke through from the right and Evra tackled him from behind. Rizzoli blew the whistle and showed a yellow card.
Martin: "Evra's yellow card, this tackle was too big. Evra was very miserable by Robben today, and he was a little impatient. This yellow card is very detrimental to him."
Neville: "Yes, it is a bit reckless, but it is a helpless move. Manchester United has to withstand this wave of attacks from Bayern Munich."
In the 58th minute, Giggs was stepped on his ankle by Gustavo during the midfield scramble and fell to the ground for treatment. He persisted for a while, but Ferguson had already let Park Ji-sung warm up on the sidelines.
He Wei: "Giggs's ankle was stepped on and he couldn't hold on any longer. Ferguson had already asked Park Ji-sung to warm up. This was a forced substitution."
Zhang Lu: "In fact, it would be better to switch to Park Ji-sung. Park Ji-sung's running ability and defensive ability are stronger."
In the 59th minute, Park Ji-sung replaced Giggs. When Giggs walked off the court, Manchester United fans of Allianz Arena stood up and applauded, and Ferguson stepped forward and patted him on the back.
In the 62nd minute, Müller broke through with the ball from the middle, and Carrick tackled him from behind. Rizzoli blew the whistle and showed a yellow card.
During this period of time, Manchester United was very passive and continued to withstand high-pressure defense.
Martin: "Carrick's yellow card, this tackle is too big. Manchester United is the only real defensive player in the midfield, so he must be careful. During this period, Manchester United's defense is a bit messy, and the pressure is a bit high, so he must withstand it."
Neville: "Yes, there is only one goal difference. Bayern Munich saw hope, so everyone in their team worked hard."
In the 65th minute, Zhang Kuang was tackled by Lahm while breaking through from the left. Zhang Kuang fell to the ground. Zhang Kuang did this on purpose. He wanted Lahm to go down, but Rizzoli blew the whistle and awarded a free kick.
Zhang Kuang was angry. "Mr. referee, didn't you even give me a card? Are you blind? It was obviously this guy who tackled me from behind. According to the rules, it was a yellow card. You won't make excuses this time to say that I retaliated against him, right? How about your fairness?"
Rizzoli: "I am the referee, my eyes, this does not constitute a yellow card..."
Zhang Kuang: "Does it not constitute a yellow card, or did you charge money?"
Rizzoli: "Do you want to take a card? You slandered the referee..."
Players from both sides quickly gathered around, and Boateng and Rooney pushed each other. Ferdinand quickly pulled Zhang Kuang away, and Carrick also pulled the referee aside to communicate with him.
But Rizzoli still wanted to take out the cards, Carrick held down his hand.
Carrick: "Mr. Referee, if Zhang Kuang is sent off with a red card by you, have you thought about the consequences? Be careful of angry fans shooting you in the back. He is a China person."
Rizzoli:"He slandered the referee..."
Carrick: "He was just verbally angry, not a football foul. If he committed a football foul and you sent him off, no fans would blame you. If you play the card now and let him change from two yellow cards to a red card, the angry fans will tear you apart. Why bother? How much money do you make for a penalty? Do you think UEFA will send bodyguards 24 hours a day to protect you? Mr. referee, listen to me, calm down..."
Carrick's words made Rizzoli suddenly break into a cold sweat, and the anger just now disappeared in an instant.
Yes, the current China is very dark under the propaganda of Europe media. There is a dictatorship there, and the people there have defeated the Sixteen-Nation Allied Forces headed by United States...
And although the Chinese gangsters are not conspicuous, they are not easy to deal with in Europe!
Martin: "Another conflict. The penalty this time is really unfair. Lahm committed a foul behind his back but was not given a card. This made Zhang Kuang very angry. Players from both sides gathered around, Boateng and Rooney pushed each other. Rizzoli intervened and gave a verbal warning. This was the UEFA Champions League final, and the players were very emotional."
Neville: "Lahm shouldn't do this. If Rizzoli were stricter, it would be a yellow card. Rizzoli needs to be more fair. This is not a good penalty. Of course, Bayern Munich's players should stop their violent behavior. Zhang Kuang needs to control their emotions..."
The time came to the 67th minute. Zhang Kuang stood in front of the free kick. This free kick was a bit far from the goal, about 36 meters, and it was a bit to the left, not in the middle.
Everyone thought that Zhang Kuang would not take the free throw and would run into the penalty area to grab the ball, but he stood in front of the ball.
He Wei: "Is Zhang Kuang going to take the free kick personally? He wants to hit the goal? This position is far and far away, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to kick. It would be better to change to another goalkeeper. This is Neuer. I don't think it is appropriate to hit the goal directly."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, I think so, but since Zhang Kuang is standing in front of the ball, he must be certain. I'm not sure he won't do this..."
Allianz Arena was completely quiet, Zhang Kuang kept aiming at the goal with an expressionless face.
Neuer is constantly directing the wall, Manchester United's players are squeezing their positions, and the referee is coordinating.
After a while, the coordination was finally completed. The referee stepped aside and blew his whistle.
'Beep!'
The camera focused on Zhang Kuang. Zhang Kuang took two steps and then kicked the ball hard at the bottom. Then the ball flew out like a cannonball, making a 'bang' sound as it broke through the air.
The ball was high, floating and fast, flying straight towards the baseline on the right. From the TV camera, everyone thought that the ball was going to fly out of the baseline, but the moment the ball flew over the wall, the ball turned a corner, spun to the left like a hook and fell down. It spun very fast and fell very fast.
Neuer rushed to pounce, but it was too late. The ball fell into the net with a swish. Neuer missed the pounce. Of course, he turned around and saw the ball entering the net. He slapped the turf hard!
Martin's voice was hoarse. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The free kick was scored directly, Zhang Kuang! Hat trick! A long-distance free kick over 36 meters, and it was very wide. Zhang Kuang kicked it into the goal. This is a super free kick, so amazing..."
Neville: "Ah, Zhang Kuang, this ball is so scary. I thought it would fly out of the baseline, but I didn't expect it to break left and fall directly into the goal when it was over the goal. This force is so accurate and powerful..."
He Wei's voice is almost shouting, "Go in, go in, go in, the ball is in, Zhang Kuang! Hat trick! 4-2! Manchester United leads again! Zhang Kuang in UEFA Champions League once again scored a hat trick in the final! This is the first time in the history of UEFA Champions League that a player has scored a hat trick in two consecutive UEFA Champions League finals! Zhang Kuang did it! He did it!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this ball is so beautiful. To be honest, any free kick master would only have a 10% chance of scoring this kind of ultra-long-distance free kick. I didn't expect Zhang Kuang to score it. This kick is really amazing..."
After scoring the goal, Zhang Kuang was not too excited and just applauded the fans in the stands, but the Manchester United players were so excited that they ran over to celebrate.
Cristiano Ronaldo and others applauded wildly in the stands. To be honest, few of the superstars in the stands could kick this kind of ball.
They were truly conquered by Zhang Kuang's skills and were very convinced.
The football bigwigs in the box all stood up and applauded. This goal was worthy of their standing up and applauding. It was really amazing.
There are few players in the world who can withstand the pressure and take such a magical free kick in a big competition, and they are admirable.
The managers of the Glazer Family were so excited that their eyes were red with excitement.
Joel·Glazer said to Avram·Glazer, "Zhang Kuang must be kept, he must be allowed to stay. If such a player is let go, Manchester United will not be able to take UEFA Champions League in the next few years."
Avram·Glazer also nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, we can't let him go. He is not yet 21 years old. He still has more than ten years of career. If he goes to other teams, the consequences will be disastrous..."
