I am the king of football

Chapter 465 The Battle Continues
In the Manchester United locker room, Ferguson stood there with a calm face. He did not feel that the situation was under control just because the team was leading by one goal. This was the stage of the Champions League final. Having experienced two defeats, he knew that anything could happen.

Other Manchester United veterans had the same idea as him. Scholes and others who had experienced the two previous games looked calm, which made the young players who came back talking and laughing calm down.

"We got a good 45 minutes."

Ferguson clapped his hands and looked at his disciples, finally showing a slight smile.

"However, a one-goal difference does not mean we have won the game. I believe you have seen the offensive ability of our opponents in the first half."

Pulling over the tactical board, Ferguson immediately obtained the offensive data of both sides provided by the assistant coach. In his impression, Dortmund's offense could easily form multiple waves of attacks, and this impact was not a good thing for Manchester United, which had many veteran defenders.

Once the game enters the final stage, due to physical exhaustion and continuous attacks from opponent players, a one-goal advantage will be ruined if there is a problem in the defense.

Therefore, when facing an opponent like Dortmund, the team must not directly retreat and start a defensive counterattack in the second half.

"In the second half, continue your offensive. Our offensive efficiency is higher and the threat is greater. Seize every offensive opportunity. We already have one more goal than them. As long as we keep scoring more, we will definitely be the winner in the end!"

With a wave of his hand, Ferguson set the main tone for the team's second half of the game. Manchester United, which is top-heavy this season, won because of the comprehensive development of the front line. In this case, the team's strengths should be fully utilized and offense should be used to relieve the pressure of its own defense.

"Understood, Boss!"

"Very good, then let's make some adjustments to some details."

After getting the response from the players, Ferguson continued speaking. Compared with the established tactics arranged before the game according to the opponent's layout in previous games, more clear characteristics emerged in front of the famous coach now that the first half was over.

For example, Lewandowski is used to cutting into the penalty area with his left and right feet, such as Gotze's habitual handling movements after receiving the ball, and Gundogan's movements are always too big when pressing, which can be used to make the opponent get a card, and so on.

Ferguson explained in detail the corresponding countermeasures for the players in each position, which opened the eyes of the players. It turned out that the boss, who actually didn't like to pay attention to details, was so thorough.

After Ferguson finished all his half-time talks, players in various positions of Manchester United had a new understanding of their opponents. They were confident that although the playing style would remain unchanged after the start of the second half, they would definitely be more at ease in dealing with the situation.

Soon, the door of Manchester United's locker room was knocked. As Vidic opened the door, the players followed him out one after another.

Forty-five minutes, forty-five minutes left, and the brand new Champions League trophy will be engraved with the name of a team. In the hearts of the entire Red Devils team, that name must be Manchester United!
"Okay, the two teams are back on the field. They quickly stood up after the exchange of halves. Qin Hu's goal in the first half changed the score to 1-0. Manchester United temporarily has the advantage."

Zhan Jun's voice rang out again as the screen was cut in, and fans all over the world who were paying attention to the game also shifted their attention back to the court. At the end of the first half, the hot searches about this game had already topped the major social platforms around the world.

There were thirty shots in the first half of the game. This unique Champions League final made all the fans excited.

"Dortmund will kick off the second half, with Lewandowski and Reus standing at the starting line-up."

On the pitch, after a halftime break, Dortmund, who were one goal behind, no longer felt the loss they had just experienced. It was obvious that with a passionate coach like Klopp, they didn't have to worry about how low the team's morale would be, because he always had a way to ignite the passion of his players. "Sh ...

The whistle sounded the next moment, and the referee on duty checked his watch again and directly signaled the start of the game.

"Lewandowski kicked the ball, Reus received it and passed it to Gotze in the middle. Dortmund's formation for this game was adjusted to 4123 in the first half and has not been adjusted back!"

The ball went straight out of the gate, and the Hornet's goal was clear, which was to continue bombarding the opponent's back line with ferocious impacts.

They are good at high-pressure pressing and fast-paced offense and defense. They will never give up their own advantages to fight a war of attrition with the always stable Manchester United. No matter how the opponent responds, they must be themselves.

Opposite Dortmund, facing the opponent's attack at the beginning of the game, Manchester United players did not dare to be careless. Qin Hu, Rooney and others became the team's first line of defense. They pressured the opponent's midfielder to quickly pass the ball forward.

Then Carrick, Fletcher and Scholes, the two defensive midfielders, stood firmly in their own midfield, their eyes never leaving the ball and the players they were marking.

Manchester United's response made it very difficult for Dortmund to get off to a good start, and their attempt to take advantage of the opponent's unstable footing at the start of the game to see if they could score a goal was completely thwarted.

When the ball was carried across the half court by Gotze and came in front of Fletcher after a one-two combination with Gundogan, the defensive midfielder played a closed defense with Rafael who came in from the left.

Gotze, who wanted to change speed in his spike, was directly trapped and fell to the ground, but the referee did not make any comment. The other Dortmund players did not pay too much attention to Gotze after he fell to the ground, but continued to focus their energy on the counter-attack.

At this moment, the players of the Hornets have not noticed that Gotze, who is now almost isolated in the team, is beginning to feel unwell. He is obviously a little disappointed that he was knocked down and no teammate stepped forward to help him.

In Manchester United's half, the ball was intercepted by Fletcher and quickly passed to Scholes. The team's veteran made a long pass before the opponent's other midfielder Gundogan rushed over.

"After stealing the ball from the opponent, they launched a counterattack. It seems that Manchester United's style of play in the second half of the game did not change. They still chose to fight head-on with the opponent."

It is extremely fortunate for the fans watching the game that Manchester United continues to play in this way, because it means they can see more exciting scenes and more shots, which is not common on the stage of the Champions League final.

When the ball kicked by Scholes was taken away by Rooney on the left side of the field and passed to Carrick in the middle before Schmelzer approached, Carrick suddenly sent a diagonal through ball, and the ball quickly rolled into the defensive gap between Subotic and Piszczek on the right.

"Oh!"

"Qin Hu! He exploded, shook off Hummels half a step and shot directly at the goal. The shot was very threatening!"

When Weidenfeller pushed the ball just over the crossbar amid the exclamations of the fans, everyone understood one thing - the fierce battle between the two sides was still going on.
