I am the king of football

Chapter 431 Bayern Munich
Losing a game against Arsenal no longer causes any blow to Manchester United fans. With three championships in hand, the main focus of the Red Devils fans now is a very good mentality.

Moreover, Van Persie was completely at peace with his team in this match. Red Devils fans had always had mixed emotions towards the captain of their arch-rival team, especially his attachment to his old club when he played against Arsenal at home in the first half of the season. This made everyone feel that the player's heart was not with Manchester United.

Now, Van Persie slid down and knelt at the Emirates Stadium. This kneeling was both a break with Arsenal fans and a token of allegiance to the Red Devils fans.

After this kneeling, the Gunners' Robin van Persie disappeared and Manchester United's General Van came to the front.

After the game, in the comment section, fans of both sides were discussing almost nothing about the outcome of the game, but rather the debate about Van Persie. Manchester United fans became staunch supporters of Van Persie and constantly confronted the defensive Arsenal fans.

However, for the player himself, this was still an extremely painful day. Considering that the first round of the Champions League semi-final will be played next week, Ferguson chose to take a day off even though the team was defeated. So that night in a bar in Manchester, a group of friends that Van Persie met when he came to Manchester United accompanied him for a drink.

This time, no one stopped Van Persie from drinking one glass after another. When the great general drank until he was unconscious, tears appeared in the corners of his eyes...

No matter how painful the night was, a new day will still come.

When the holiday was over, Manchester United players returned to the training base again. On the first day of resuming training, the players were very concerned about Van Persie. However, the professional Dutch striker did not show any abnormality. Whether in daily training or training games, his condition was at its best and Ferguson nodded frequently.

Obviously, as a man who is already in his thirties, Van Persie still has a strong ability to self-regulate.

So all the energy of Manchester United was focused on daily training. Under Ferguson's command, they first conducted tactical drills for three consecutive days, and then held a meeting on the fourth day.

Standing in front of the players, Ferguson held in his hands the information on Bayern Munich players that his coaching team had collected at the fastest speed. Just like before the previous Champions League knockout match, he began to analyze the information one by one to the disciples in front of him.

This season's Bayern is full of talents in every position. In other words, as the Bundesliga overlord and the only top club for all Bundesliga players who do not leave the country, there is never a shortage of superstars in the Southern King's lineup.

At the center position, Mandzukic, who is in his prime, has been delivering steady performances since joining Bayern. He often serves as a fulcrum and he has scored double digits even when the team's offensive combination includes Robben, Ribery and Muller, who are other big scorers.

However, compared with Qin Hu and Van Persie, Ferguson believes that this center forward is inferior. In the team's daily training, everyone has already experienced the two of them taking turns to ravage. For this center forward, he believes that it is not difficult to contain it.

What is rare is the three midfielders behind Mandzukic. Like Manchester United, Bayern now also likes to play a 4231 formation with two defensive midfielders. However, its fundamental threat is different from that of Manchester United, which mainly lies in Qin Hu. It mainly lies in Robben and three others.

Robben, the Little Flying Man, is a top striker who is a member of the Dutch national team together with Van Persie and has long been famous throughout Europe. The sentence "You know Robben is going to cut inside but you can never stop him" is definitely the nightmare of every defender who faces him.

"His speed and the pace of his cuts are very strange. The defense against him must be bold. We must destroy the ball before he starts. At least two people should pay attention to his movements. Don't kick easily! Don't kick easily!" Ferguson looked at Rafael, the team's starting left-back, with worry in his eyes. As for Robben's strength, he came to a conclusion after watching quite a lot of Peter Pan's game videos - he might not be able to stop this defensive general by himself. For a while, the arrangement of a double defensive midfielder began to brew in his mind.

"The opponent's attacking midfielder Muller is a typical opportunist player. His position is more like a shadow striker than an attacking midfielder. You must pay attention to his movement on the court. If you are not careful, he will appear in a position that threatens the goal. The opposing players must pay attention to this."

The topic shifts to the second player Muller. This player can be said to have a very unique style. In the eyes of any coach, he is a particularly smart player. His top positioning ability, the ability to score goals, and good passing ability allow him to be like a fish in water in both the attacking midfielder and shadow striker positions.

"And Ribery is a very tough player. Don't be afraid of fighting him. You must overwhelm him with your momentum, otherwise your situation will be very bad!"

The topic turns to the ferocious player with a scar on his face. Just from the photo, you can tell that this player is not easy to mess with. After being brought from Ligue 1 to the Bundesliga by Bayern, Ribery conquered the fans with his strong personal charm and fierce performance against opponents on the court.

Now he has been called the Allianz King. You have to know that anyone who can be called the king by the fans of a top club has an influence that is far more than just his football skills.

If Lahm is the soul of Bayern's backcourt, then King Ribery is the foundation of the team's toughness in the frontcourt. It is he who makes Bayern's offensive combination appear less soft.

When dealing with this player, the team must not be timid and must deal with him head-on.

"In the midfield and backcourt, Javi Martinez, Schweinsteiger and Kroos are all players that cannot be underestimated. Their defensive toughness and long-pass dispatching ability are excellent. Both offensive and defensive players should pay attention to them."

Players kept flashing across the screen, and Ferguson emphasized that almost every position must be taken seriously, which shows how strong Bayern is.

Finally, he came to the defense line. King Nan’s defense line was not unknown either. He mentioned the names of four main defenders in succession.

"Alaba, Dante, Boateng, Lahm, the opponent's defensive style is very tough and dense. It is not easy to break through the opponent's defense. Reduce individual breakthroughs with the ball and increase cooperation. You need to find opportunities on the court to do it."

As Ferguson spoke, the characteristics and habits of each defender appeared on the screen. Several forwards looked up and quickly wrote them down. These were what they needed to know.

In the end, not to mention Neuer's reputation, if they want to break through Bayern's goal, the shooting skills of offensive players such as Qin Hu will also be greatly tested.
