Super Marshal

Exploded!

The media around the world was completely blown away!

After Manchester United's 1-1 away draw with Atletico Madrid, all media and fans around the world exploded.

Almost everyone and every media outlet was impressed by Manchester United's tenacity and resilience.

Trailing by one goal and struggling to hold on for more than half an hour with one less player, Manchester United not only did not collapse under such difficult circumstances, but reversed the situation at the last moment.

Scholes's winning goal saved Manchester United and became the team's number one contributor to promotion.

But the role of veteran Giggs is also crucial. Everyone who has watched the game can clearly remember that after Giggs came on as a substitute, he made two passes that were quite threatening. Scholes' goal also came from him. A wonderful diagonal pass to Rooney.

Of course, the performances of Rooney and Tevez are also highly recognized.

Although Pepe received a red card, his contribution to the team and his sadness when receiving the red card also won the hearts of media reporters and fans around the world, especially the tearful appearance when he left the field. It's heartbreaking.

Everyone was shocked by Manchester United's performance in this game, especially the never-give-up spirit shown by the Red Devils.

Each of them gave their all in the game and fought until the last second.

At the post-match press conference, Atletico Madrid head coach Heynckes also said helplessly that he was satisfied with the performance of his players. Everyone tried their best to show their best, but it is a pity that In the end, Manchester United won.

"For us, the result of the game is difficult to be considered satisfactory, but Manchester United deserves everyone's respect tonight."

Ferguson also said that he was surprised by the performance of the players. He believed that the spirit of the Red Devils deeply infected every player, turning them into fighters, repeatedly defeating powerful enemies on the court, and finally reaching the Champions League final.

"We were sad that we failed to win the championship last year, and we hope we can have no regrets this year."

Ferguson's remarks were also seen as an early declaration of victory in the future Champions League finals.

The day after Manchester United eliminated Atletico Madrid 1-1 on aggregate, Bayern Munich also sat at the Allianz Arena to welcome Barcelona.

…………

…………

A week ago, the 4-3 loss at Camp Nou boosted the morale of Bayern Munich and also dealt a huge blow to Barcelona.

In the weekend's Derby of the Century, Guardiola also used all his main players to beat Real Madrid 6-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

At that time, many people speculated that Guardiola had no hope of advancing to the Champions League final, so he tried his best in the league to retain the league championship.

But in fact, at the Allianz Arena, Guardiola's team still tried its best, but unfortunately, it was the home team Bayern Munich that scored the first goal.

Abidal's absence caused problems on Barcelona's left wing. Sylvinho did not come up with a very effective defensive method when facing Robben. Only ten minutes into the game, he allowed Robben to hit him continuously. Breakthrough to get a chance and assist Aguero to score.

After that, the two teams played hard, but neither team could score again.

It wasn't until the 74th minute of the second half that Bayern Munich scored again. Vidal scored the second goal of the game for the Bundesliga giant, helping Bayern Munich lead 2-0.

This goal almost sentenced the game to death.

But Barcelona was unwilling to give up, and they still worked hard to attack Bayern Munich's defense.

Finally, in the 88th minute, Barcelona got a chance. Eto'o scored a face-saving goal for the La Liga giants, but could not prevent the Bundesliga giants from advancing to the final with a total score of 6 to 4.

Compared to the exciting duel where Manchester United stubbornly reversed Atletico Madrid a day ago, the second round duel between Bayern Munich and Barcelona seemed dull and did not have many surprises. After all, Bayern Munich had already mastered the game with its away victory in the first round. Gain the initiative to advance.

The score of two to one also allowed both sides to be decent.

After the second round of the game, Guardiola did not accompany the team back to Barcelona immediately. Instead, he accompanied his wife Christina to Gao Han's home in southern Munich, specifically to visit Gao Han's newborn child.

…………

…………

"What a cute little guy." Christina looked at Gao Shen, who was sleeping soundly in the crib, gently teasing his pink skin, and praised with a smile.

"He looks a lot like you, Lin Xia. He will definitely be a handsome guy in the future."

"Thank you, Christina." Lin Xia smiled and thanked her.

For a mother, nothing makes her happier than complimenting her child.

What's more, almost everyone who sees Gao Shen will think that he looks like Lin Xia.

But Gao Han curled his lips helplessly every time he heard it. Why does everyone say that?

If he looks like Lin Xia, he is a handsome guy, but if he looks like himself, then he is not?

Oh my gosh, is this sexism?

Guardiola is shy by nature and doesn't talk much. He just stands aside with a smile, looking at the child in the crib and listening to the gossip of his wife and Lin Xia. He seems a little out of place.

Gao Han gently patted Guardiola on the shoulder and pointed to the balcony outside the living room, "Let's go out for a walk."

Guardiola nodded slightly.

In early May, the nights in Munich were not hot, with a cool breeze and even a bit cool.

This was the first time for Guardiola to come to Gao Han's home in Munich. He was somewhat surprised because the garden was quite large.

"I found that you like to buy a house." Guardiola will still take the initiative to joke when no one is around.

"You haven't heard people say that we Chinese are naturally fond of real estate, which can bring us a sense of security."

"Isn't it okay to rent a house?" Guardiola asked strangely.

In fact, he knew Gao Han and knew that Gao Han was a very insecure person.

So does he.

"It's not impossible, it's just that I have some knots in my heart. Lin Xia and I both feel that no matter how good the rented house is, it still belongs to someone else. We don't worry because we can't completely own it and arrange it according to our own wishes. "

Gao Han pointed to the garden. His parents and Lin Guoping and his wife were sitting under the shade of the tree, making tea and chatting. They were discussing how to decorate the garden, what trees to plant, and what fish to raise. They were having a lot of fun.

Although Guardiola couldn't understand what they were saying, it was not difficult to guess the joy in their hearts at this moment from their beaming expressions, which made people happy for them.

"Although I still can't understand your point of view, I agree with your choice." Guardiola smiled.

Gao Han also laughed helplessly.

It is indeed difficult for foreigners to understand the Chinese people’s love for houses and land.

"It doesn't matter. I won't live there for a long time anyway. If you leave Barcelona and go to coach in other countries and cities, and my house happens to be there, I will rent it to you for free."

Guardiola also laughed.

Although he has only coached Barcelona for two years, he also understands that sooner or later, he will become Barcelona's past.

In today's European football, it is difficult for a player to play for one team for a lifetime, and it is even more impossible for a head coach.

But soon, the look on Guardiola's face became serious.

"I heard that you are considering coaching Real Madrid?"

"Huh?" Gao Han was a little surprised, "Who said that?"

"There have been rumors in the Spanish media recently, don't you know?"

Gao Han found it funny, "Yeah, I'm going to coach Real Madrid, and I don't even know. Do you think it's weird?"

Upon hearing Gao Han's words, Guardiola immediately understood that this was probably media hype.

It is also possible that some people are hyping it up through the media, such as Florentino.

Everyone knows that Florentino is the top favorite in the Real Madrid presidential election this summer, but if he can invite Gao Han to the Bernabeu, then his chairmanship can be said to be a certainty.

Even if Gao Han leads the team to Real Madrid to play games, Galaxy fans have been booing him and scolding him, but if he really goes to the Bernabeu to coach, it is estimated that all Real Madrid fans will welcome him.

"What? I see you look relieved. Are you afraid?" Gao Han found it interesting.

"Am I afraid?" Guardiola seemed to have been poked into his mind and felt a little guilty. "You are kidding, how is that possible?"

"Isn't it possible that you still care so much?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

"Am I preparing in advance? As you said before, how do you Chinese idioms say..."

"Be prepared for a rainy day." Gao Han reminded.

"Yes, just be prepared for a rainy day. You think too much."

But seeing Gao Han's expression of complete disbelief, Guardiola also knew that he was not hypocritical.

"Okay, I'm definitely a little worried."

He honestly admitted that Gao Han really had no idea.

"As far as I know, no team has contacted me so far. All external rumors are false. What's more, I have not made it clear whether I will leave Bayern Munich."

Guardiola knows Gao Han's character well. He promises to bring the Champions League to Bayern Munich, and he will definitely win the Champions League before leaving.

Although, with the current level of play this season, Bayern Munich has a great possibility of winning the championship, but Manchester United is now like a chicken blood, playing at a high level every game, and even Atletico Madrid has reversed.

God knows whether Ferguson's team will repeat history with Bayern Munich like they did at the last minute in 1999?

Gao Han's words were half-truths. The fact is that he has indeed not decided whether to leave, but he has hinted that Bayern Munich management will contact his successor and he will leave Bayern Munich as soon as the team wins the Champions League.

With the energy he has invested in the Bundesliga giants in the past two seasons, the lineup he has built, coupled with the team he left behind, as long as the successor is not too bad, he wants to remain competitive in the Bundesliga and the Champions League. , there is no problem at all.

As for Gao Han, he has no shortage of places to go and is not in a hurry.

"In this Champions League final, you still have to be careful when facing Manchester United." Guardiola looked at Gao Han and reminded him.

He knew that Gao Han was cautious by nature, but as a friend, he still had to remind him.

"Manchester United's strength this season has improved a lot compared to last season, but what surprised me the most is their madness. To be honest, if we had met them now last season, we would probably be very disappointed. It’s hard to win.”

Manchester United is indeed impressive this season, especially in the second half, playing better every game in the Champions League knockout rounds.

Many times, this kind of team is what you fear the most in football matches, because you don’t know how much potential it has yet to tap. God knows, will it suddenly break out when playing against you?

Gao Han was well prepared for this, and he nodded with great confidence and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no matter how crazy he is, I can still subdue him."
