Super Marshal

As soon as the first half of the game ended, Bayern Munich's coaching staff was like a fast-starting machine. Every component was running at high speed, and the core was head coach Gao Han.

After Gao Han sent all the players into the tunnel, he briefly high-fived Ferguson goodbye. After returning to the coaching bench, all members of the coaching staff gathered around him and reported to him the team's situation in the first half.

The first is fitness coach Lorenzo Buenaventura. He has combined all aspects of data provided by Sergio Garcia with his own familiarity and understanding of the players to analyze the team's physical fitness in the first half. Consumption is assessed.

Due to the technical advantages of the players and the team's overall passing and controlling style, Bayern Munich consumes less physical energy than Manchester United. However, both Bayern Munich and Manchester United are teams known for their physical fitness.

This is also evident in the data analysis submitted by Sergio Garcia shortly after.

According to his preliminary estimate, Manchester United in the second half can no longer maintain the high-pressure tactics of the first half, but the Red Devils will not be dragged down by physical fitness. It is because of this confidence that Ferguson dares to act like this. Starting tactics.

"I think Manchester United will appropriately weaken the pressure, but will further strengthen the team's overall defense." Tuchel gave his own analysis results and predicted Manchester United's formation in the second half.

Manchester United's first thirty minutes of the first half were more like an explosion of chicken blood, which would definitely not last. Otherwise, wouldn't all their players become subhumans?

After receiving the report and summary from the coaching staff, Gao Han said that he understood and everyone continued to work.

Walking into the player tunnel and entering the home team's locker room, Gao Han immediately welcomed psychologist Steve Peters. He is fully responsible for the team's psychology, and Gao Han also attaches great importance to this area, not only in normal times, but also in games. Midfielders also often need to conduct a psychological evaluation to understand the player's condition.

"I briefly chatted with them, and my mental condition was good. There was no problem in the second half."

Steve Peters' simple words made Gao Han feel relieved.

He is not worried about the players' fighting spirit. In the Champions League final, every player will fight for the St. Petersburg Cup. What he is really worried about is the players' psychological quality when they encounter difficulties, and whether they will be nervous and panicked.

"Thank you, Steve." Gao Han patted Steve Peters on the shoulder and continued to walk to the players' dugout.

Soon, he welcomed team doctor Wolfat.

All professional players will inevitably suffer from injuries, and Bayern Munich's players are no exception. However, their injuries are not enough to affect their performance, so they can qualify for the starting lineup.

After forty-five minutes of high-intensity competition, Wolfart has to re-evaluate the physical condition of the players in the midfield of every game, especially the several injured players in the team.

To some extent, he determines whether the player can continue the game in the second half.

Therefore, when Gao Han saw him, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, but Wolfat reached out and brushed his long hair, and smiled slightly, making him feel relieved again.

The two have been working together for two years and know each other's little moves.

"Don't worry, I checked it and there's nothing wrong with it."

Gao Han breathed a sigh of relief and nodded heavily, "Thank you, Hans."

After sending away his two assistants, Gao Han organized and pondered his thoughts and words, took a deep breath, walked into the players' dugout, and stood in front of the eleven starting players.

"We don't have much time, so I'll keep my story short."

Gao Han's words made all the players look at him.

The game situation in the first half made them all feel very depressed, especially the front three who missed consecutive scoring opportunities, which made them feel even more pressured. But now, they must concentrate on listening to the coach's arrangements for the second half.

After two seasons of familiarity and running-in, they all know that Gao Han's midfield adjustments can often work.

This is also where Gao Han is most recognized by media reporters and fans.

Assistant coach Thomas Tuchel pulled over a tactical blackboard with a pitch drawn on it.

"There are two key factors in the second half that you must be aware of."

"First of all, after the craziness of the first half hour of the first half, Manchester United's physical energy consumption was very high. You must have felt it in the last ten minutes. It will be more obvious in the second half, so their pressure will not be as strong, and we will All we need to do is take advantage of their reduced pressure to control the ball and rhythm, and then control the game."

Controlling the rhythm through passing and controlling play is Bayern Munich's specialty.

It may not be possible to face a La Liga team like Barcelona, ​​but it is not a big problem to face Manchester United.

"The second issue is our overall formation."

Gao Han turned around and drew Bayern Munich's formation and position in the second half on the tactical board.

"In the first half, we were limited by Manchester United's pressure, so we retreated deeper. But in the second half, we have to push forward, especially our midfielder. We must try to push our ball control area to the opponent's 30-meter area. To the center line."

Having said this, Gao Han pointed to the two midfielders in the team, "Luka, Bastian, this is your most important core task in the second half, to ensure that we can control the ball in this area, do you understand?"

Schweinsteiger and Modric looked at each other and nodded in unison.

They did play rather depressed in the first half, especially Bastian Schweinsteiger, who was forced to retreat to the back line and looked more like a central defender. He was not released until the last ten minutes or so.

Now, Manchester United's physical fitness has declined, and Bayern Munich naturally has to adjust the game to its own rhythm and attack its opponents in the way they are most comfortable with.

"Rham, Marcelo, your position cannot be retreated. When we attack with the ball, your position must be forward. Get the ball in the opponent's half. When attacking, you must be able to attack the bottom line, just like we usually do. Do you understand? ?”

Marcelo and Ram both nodded, "Understood."

On weekdays, Bayern Munich's offense often focuses on the insertion of full-backs, which can greatly enrich the team's offensive routine. Therefore, many times, Bayern Munich even looks a bit like only two central defenders are defending.

The willingness to invest resources on the offensive end makes Bayern Munich's offense very fierce. As long as they play at a familiar rhythm, it is often difficult for opponents to stop Bayern Munich's offense.

"OK!" Gao Han clapped his hands vigorously, causing everyone to look over again.

"We don't need to do much in the second half. These are the only things I ask of you. You just need to control the game and attack the opponent in the way we are familiar with and good at. Pay attention to maintaining width and depth, and pull the opponent's Defend the formation, create holes, and then intersperse attacks.”

Gao Han looked deeply at the eleven players and smiled confidently.

"Believe me, guys, as long as you do what I ask, the final victory will definitely belong to us!"

…………

…………

"Believe me, boys, Bayern Munich will only do one thing in the second half!"

In the visiting team's locker room, Ferguson was also making midfield adjustments and analyzing the tactics of both the enemy and ourselves.

"That's offense!"

"I know Gao Han and I know his character. The last ten minutes of the first half were just a test by him, but all of you have seen the power of Bayern Munich's offense, but I guarantee that the second half will be even more difficult. Parry.”

After listening to Ferguson's words, every one of the Manchester United players showed solemn expressions.

"This is Bayern Munich, this is the cold, but if we want to win in the Champions League final, there is no other way, we can only go all out, we can only block Bayern Munich's attack, just like they did in the first half The field blocked our rush and press the same way.”

Ferguson's words caused a dead silence in the dressing room.

Although they were opponents, they asked themselves and had to admire Bayern Munich in the first half.

Gao Han even dragged Schweinsteiger in midfield back to the defense, sacrificing organization and offense to strengthen defense, which shows Bayern Munich's determination.

"You have to pay attention to two things in the second half. First, in Bayern Munich's possession area, we must not let Bayern Munich smoothly control the ball from our 30-meter area to the midline. Once it enters our half, we have to grab it. , don’t hesitate to grab it, this is a death order, if we can’t do it, we will die miserably.”

Ferguson's tone increased, even a bit like shouting.

"Second point, you should pay attention to the positions of Marcelo and Ram."

Everyone nodded silently.

As early as in the pre-game preparation meeting, Ferguson told the players that there is a saying in European football that preventing high-cold attacks depends on the position of his two full-backs.

It can be said that Gao Han attaches great importance to the full-back's forward attack.

Jankurovski and Dario Srna during the Atletico Madrid period, Evra and Maicon during the Inter Milan period, Marcelo and Lahm during the Bayern Munich period, are all the top offensive wingers in Europe. Defender.

Therefore, many people say that by looking at the position of Gao Han's full-back, one can accurately judge whether he wants to attack or defend, and even judge that he wants to attack in one direction.

"Our formation needs to be adjusted in the second half, from 442 to 433. Rooney comes forward, Giggs and Tevez are on the wings. Once Marcelo and Lahm enter our half, you give I rob, and I do whatever I can to rob.”

This is the second time that Ferguson has used the adjective "physical strength", which shows how deeply he fears Bayern Munich in these two aspects.

"Fletcher returned to the center and formed a midfield barrier with Matic and Carrick. Pay attention to what I just said, don't let Bayern Munich control the ball from our 30-meter area to the midline."

The three midfielders also nodded in unison, understanding Ferguson's arrangement.

After seeing the player's statement, Ferguson nodded heavily and applauded vigorously.

"Boys, this is the Champions League final. Last year, we lost once and missed the opportunity to reach the top of European football. Tonight, I don't want us to miss it again."

"Now, what stands in front of us is Bayern Munich. They are a more terrifying team than Barcelona last season, but we are not easy to mess with. Our strength is also better than last season. I firmly believe that we Have the ability and determination to defeat your opponents.”

"But this requires each of you to grit your teeth and withstand the pressure of the game and your opponents. As long as you survive this most difficult period, we will usher in the final victory."

"Tonight, in this Olympic Stadium, only one team can walk out with their heads held high."

"Whoever loses will lie down and leave like a lost dog."

"Whether you want to be a hero or a bear, it's up to you!"

Ferguson clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and he shouted forcefully.
