Super Marshal

A much-anticipated goal feast!

After Bayern Munich defeated Barcelona with a score of 4 to 3 at the Camp Nou, the media around the world spoke highly of the Bundesliga giant. Everyone agreed that this game was the best match of this season, and even the past two years. This is the most exciting matchup in the Champions League since last season.

There were a total of seven goals, and every minute of the game was played at a fast pace. In this way, the game can be described as hearty, bringing a pleasing game experience to all fans.

This is the second showdown between Bayern Munich and Barcelona this season. Different from the last European Super Cup at the Louis II Stadium, this time the two teams can be said to be inseparable, and both sides tried their best.

"Before the game, the whole world knew that Barcelona's most threatening player was Messi. The Argentine superstar has the ability to change the game. But what is shocking is that Guardiola suddenly made magical adjustments in this game. Messi adjusted from the right to the center, which further stimulated Messi's performance."

"In this game, we saw a completely different Messi than before. He can drop back to meet the midfielder, can dribble the ball himself, can insert shots, can pass wonderful assists, and more importantly, he can He is the most stable receiving point in the frontcourt. Under any circumstances, if any kind of pass reaches his feet, it will be a nightmare for defensive players."

"It can be said that in this style of play, Guardiola has maximized Messi's tactical role."

"Just when everyone was sweating for Bayern Munich, Gao Han showed his role as the world's top coach. He didn't even arrange a manpower to keep an eye on Messi, but for the first time at Camp Nou. A big fight against Barcelona."

"This unconventional strategy caught Barcelona a bit off guard. Coupled with multi-front operations, Barcelona was beaten by Bayern Munich before they even entered the state at the beginning."

"Everyone knows that what Gao Han is best at is attacking, and in this game he took his attacking to the extreme. With two set-piece opportunities in the first ten minutes, he scored two goals for Barcelona and helped Bayern. Munich took the lead."

"After that, the two teams fought fiercely. Barcelona pulled a goal, and Bayern Munich scored another. The two teams seemed to be in a tug-of-war, but the game was quite exciting. Both sides can be said to have played their own game. The best condition.”

"For Barcelona, ​​for Guardiola, and for Messi, the result of three to four is undoubtedly regrettable. They definitely have reason to believe that a draw is a more reasonable result, but Bayern Munich also created quite a lot in this game. threat and they definitely have reason to be dissatisfied with the fact that they only scored four goals."

"It is worth mentioning that at the last moment of the game, Abidal accumulated yellow cards and was suspended. In this game, the left wing he guarded was considered a relatively stable link in Barcelona's defense. However, in the second round as a guest at the Allianz Arena, Without Abidal, will Barcelona have problems on the left?"

After this crucial battle, almost all media reporters spoke highly of the two head coaches, especially Gao Han, who won the final victory.

German newspaper Bild believes that Bayern Munich under the leadership of Gao Han played the best game of the Bundesliga team in European football in the past ten years, even surpassing the season in 2001 when Bayern Munich won the Champions League.

Everyone knows that Bayern Munich at that time was no longer at its peak.

"I still remember that at the beginning of the season, when Gao Han faced media reporters, he announced the return of Bayern Munich in a high-profile manner. At that time, many people believed that the reason why Guardiola's Barcelona was able to win the Triple Crown was because Gao Han was not there. "

"If there were still doubts before the season, then as the season progressed, Gao Han and his Bayern Munich proved this sentence one game after another, especially in this game, four games to one Defeating Barcelona in three away games, what kind of strength is this? Is there anything more convincing than this?"

Of course, Bild also believes that it is a pity that Guardiola's team lost. They basically played to their own level, but they encountered the more difficult and troublesome Gaohan, which prevented Barcelona from finding its own rhythm.

After this game, many mainstream media in Europe also believed that Bayern Munich was bound to win the European championship. It would become unprecedented in the history of European football that one person led three different league teams to win the championship. To the legendary coach who won the Champions League.

This made all the media reporters praise and impressed.

The famous Guardian reporter Greenwald even looked forward to it in his column.

"We are witnessing the birth of a great legendary history!"

However, the attention of media reporters soon shifted to the next night, another semi-final matchup at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, England, between Manchester United and Atletico Madrid.

Both teams are also extremely powerful and packed with stars. Ferguson and Heynckes are both among the best coaches in Europe. This matchup is not less popular than the previous one.

Gao Han also attaches great importance to this game.

After returning to Munich from Barcelona, ​​he first led the team for recovery training, then went to the hospital to visit his wife and children, and then immediately returned to Sebena to watch the game with his assistants.

"It's even... it's even!"

Rummenigge looked at the live TV screen with some surprise, and the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The score in the upper left corner of the TV showed the final score of the two teams, zero to zero.

Yes, Manchester United had a difficult draw with Atletico Madrid at their home court.

This made everyone sitting in the coach's office watching the game feel shocked and helpless.

What is shocking is that in this game, Manchester United was very embarrassed and even embarrassed by the visiting team Atletico Madrid. However, the Red Devils relied on defense to stabilize their position and blocked the opponent's attacks time and time again. Outside the goal.

The most dangerous moment of the first half occurred in the 29th minute. Atletico Madrid's Xabi Alonso passed a long pass. Ferdinand quickly chased back and destroyed the opponent's pass with a header. Pepe wanted to directly kick the ball. After making a clearance, but not hitting the right spot, Torres strode forward, grabbed the ball, and hit the goal directly with a single shot.

But this time, Van der Sar's position was very good. He threw himself to the ground and tried to catch the ball, but he didn't expect that the shot was too powerful and he missed it.

Torres quickly followed up, grabbed the ball and tried to beat Van der Sar, but the Dutch goalkeeper knocked the ball out with a single punch. Only then did Pepe follow up and clear the ball with one kick.

Two consecutive shots from close range allowed everyone to see the ferocity of Atletico Madrid.

Another of the most heart-wrenching moments occurred in stoppage time before the end of the game.

The referee added five minutes of stoppage time, and Atletico Madrid also played five minutes of stoppage time. In these five minutes of stoppage time, the Sheets Army created at least six very good scoring opportunities.

First, Dario Srna passed the ball from the right. Villa stepped into the back of the attack and headed the ball four meters away from the goal, but it was slightly higher than the angle of the goal.

Then David Silva made a direct pass to the left rib, and Villa succeeded in countering offside. He inserted into the left side of the penalty area and pushed the shot. However, Van der Sar gave up the goal early and fell to the ground when he shot. Swooping to block his shot.

Villa quickly adjusted his angle, caught up with the ball and hit the goal again, but with a hasty kick, the ball hit the side netting.

The last threatening shot of the game occurred in the last minute. The referee could be said to have the whistle in his mouth. The game would end at any time. Pablo Ibáñez shot the ball from the center and Dario S. Serner cooperated with Xabi Alonso, who passed the ball diagonally to the right. Serner quickly inserted his right foot and passed the ball with very precise placement.

But at this time, the players had already tried their best, and Torres was a little slow in his late insertion, allowing the very close chance to score a goal to slip by under his nose.

Heynckes was so angry that he held his head on the sidelines, looking extremely regretful.

The entire game was under the control of Atletico Madrid. The players of the Sheetland Legion performed extremely well, but Manchester United's defense became extremely strong. Ferguson's team showed great resilience and resolved Atletico Madrid's offense time and time again. .

The game ended in a zero-0 draw. Manchester United's performance shocked everyone, while Atletico Madrid's experience made people feel helpless, because this is professional football.

"Ferguson's team is surprising every game." Gao Han shook his head and sighed.

Before the game, most people were more optimistic about Atletico Madrid, but after all, this is the Old Trafford Stadium. Everyone thought that Manchester United should still have a chance, but they did not expect that the Red Devils would play so unsatisfactory.

Judging from the game process, many Manchester United players, including Tevez and Rooney, were not excited enough. This resulted in Manchester United having few good scoring opportunities in the game.

In the end, this team held on to the goal.

"Based on past probabilities, in the history of the European knockout rounds, the probability of winning and advancing in the first round at home after a 0-0 draw is only 38.6%. Since the Champions League was restructured, in the knockout rounds, the probability is only 38.6%. Historically, if the first game ends with a score of 0-0, the home team’s probability of advancing is even lower, only 33.3%.”

"If it is in the Champions League semi-finals, the first game ends with a score of 0-0, a total of fourteen times, and the home team advances only four times, with a probability of 28.5%. In European competitions this season, the first leg of the knockout round There were two games where the score was zero to zero, and the visiting team advanced in both games.”

Sergio Garcia is the team's data analyst, and as soon as the game ended, he immediately gave the probability of advancement.

Judging from the data, although Manchester United tied with Atletico Madrid at home, they are already at a disadvantage in the two-round promotion competition, and the possibility of promotion may even be only one-third.

This is basically in line with everyone's feelings about the Champions League knockout rounds. After all, if you can't win the opponent at home, the second round will become very difficult, especially in a match of the Champions League semi-finals.

The Calderon Stadium can be said to be the most difficult devil's home stadium in European football in the past few years.

The Manchester United team is so miserable at home, how can they perform on the road?

"By the way, Gao Han, what do you think?" Rummenigge suddenly asked Gao Han.

Only then did everyone notice that Gao Han didn't say a word, and they couldn't help but look at the head coach, wanting to hear his point of view.

You know, Gao Han has always had a sharp vision and has always been very accurate in his approach to problems.

"I don't think it's easy to say." Gao Han frowned and said, "The first round at home was 0-0, which is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Do you think Manchester United still has a chance?" Everyone felt strange.

Gao Han nodded, "I dare not say about others, but Ferguson, I think there are others."

"Why?"

Everyone also found it strange and wanted to hear Gao Han's reason.
