Chapter 478: Comparing the goal? I've never been afraid!

At the end of the first half, the score on the field did not change any more, because in the few minutes after Manchester City equalized the score, the players on both sides became extremely cautious on the field... They did not seek merit, but did not seek to make mistakes!

As the first half of the game is about to end, if the opponent breaks his own goal at this time, it will be too difficult to play in the second half.

The game entered the intermission, and before the players on both sides left the field, the commentators from various countries in the broadcasting table began to warmly comment on the first half of the game...

"The first half of the Champions League final today was so exciting. Manchester United had a fantastic start. They had already led 2:0 with two goals from China Yang before the game was 20 minutes old. We originally thought that this game would form a one-sided situation, but at the critical moment, a super player in Manchester City also stood up. Norwegian genius center Haaland stood up when the team needed him the most, and also scored twice in a short time to help Manchester City tie the score! Now both sides have returned to the same starting line, and the outcome of this game is completely unpredictable! I believe that the second half will be even more exciting!"

"Although the two sides tied 2:2 in the first half, we must admit that the level of today's Champions League final is so high and the excitement is the best in recent years! This first half made people feel like they were riding a roller coaster. Manchester United had already led two goals, but Manchester City stubbornly tied the score, making the result of the game full of suspense again!"

"We had already said before the game started that the outcome of this game depends largely on the performance of the core players of both sides, and this was true in the first half. Manchester United's Chinese Young and Manchester City's Haaland, these two excellent genius players, can be said to have completely dominated the first half! They both took charge of all the goals in the first half. It can even be said that in today's first half, we only saw these two players!"

"For Yang, I believe many people are already very familiar with this super player. He is now the world's number one star, but for the Norwegian genius Haaland, who just joined Manchester City from Salzburg Red Bull in the winter transfer period... we obviously underestimated the potential of this young genius! Haaland, who was calling the wind and rain in Salzburg Red Bull, quickly became the core player of the team after coming to Manchester City. He not only scored many goals in other games representing Manchester City, but also made a decisive performance in such an important game in the Champions League final!"

In fact, many people did not expect that Manchester City's "magic" Haaland would have such an amazing performance today...the Champions League final!

Can you even use your personal ability to score two goals while the team is two goals behind and help your team tie the score?

Not to mention anything else, just Haaland's two goals in the first half of the game today are enough to satisfy anyone with his performance!

During the halftime break, when the whole Manchester City team returned to the locker room, Guardiola immediately praised Haaland: "Ellyn, I did a good job in the first half... It's great! Without your performance, we are probably overwhelmed now! But now... we can think about how to play in the second half so that we can win the Champions League trophy in 45 minutes!"

Guardiola seemed very relaxed when speaking, but in fact he was still in a serious mood. Now he is not worried that his team's strength is not as strong as Manchester United. After all, the lineups of both sides are here. Manchester City's strength is obviously stronger than Manchester United.

However, what Guardiola is most worried about now is... psychological quality!

After all, Manchester United is the Champions League winner in last two seasons. No matter what, no one can deny it. This group of Manchester United players are really used to big scenes. They will definitely not make some low-level mistakes in key games, nor will they make fatal mistakes such as misperforming performance.

Just like in the first half, when Manchester City began to score goals and finally tied the score, Guardiola was always paying attention to the performance of Manchester United players, but unfortunately... he did not see any panic in Manchester United players!

Nothing at all!

During the game, even if Manchester United players were scored by Manchester City or tied the score, their faces remained calm and calm, and there was no big fluctuation in their emotions. This is what they saw in big scenes, the performance of players at critical moments... Stable!

On the other hand, Guardiola feels that although their players are all famous stars, their control over emotions is really not as good as their opponents. When Manchester City is behind, their players are not only a little confused, but also make some mistakes for one or two. This psychological quality... is really not as good as their opponents!

By the second half, as the schedule progressed, Guardiola was worried that his players would make fatal mistakes because they were too nervous. This situation...is not impossible!

At this time, Guardiola envied Mourinho's good luck. When Mourinho brought Manchester United to Monaco before, the gap in strength between the two teams was actually very obvious, but now... after many years leading the team to the Champions League final, his luck is really bad!

Not only are Manchester United defending champions, but their hard strength is really strong. Even if they are not as good as Manchester City, Manchester United still has the spirit of kings that Manchester City does not have!

Winning the Champions League trophy twice in a row and dominating the Premier League three times in a row, all of which give Manchester United players a strong confidence and tenacious will that ordinary teams do not have, as well as calmness and calmness when facing any opponent at critical moments and any difficulties. These... are actually the so-called kingly aura!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Guardiola is also very clear that if his team wants to defeat Manchester United, it will be difficult to play according to the previous tactical style!

In the first half, although Manchester City had already tried their best to control the ball, but the ball control rate was not as good as Manchester United!

When the ball possession rate is not as good as the opponent, the slow-paced Manchester City will have fewer offensive opportunities in the game. They are really lucky to be able to tie the score 2:2 in the first half.

The number of shots between the two sides in the first half was 14:6, and Manchester United obviously had greater initiative in offense. It should be said that except for Haaland's two goals, Manchester City's offense did not threaten.

If the second half is in, if this situation cannot be changed, then the "Blue Moon"... will probably have no hope of winning the game!

Guardiola thought about it for a while and then began to make tactical arrangements, and it was also the tactical arrangements that Manchester City had practiced for a while before... The whole team gave up passing and controlling and focused all offensive opportunities on Haaland as much as possible.

On the other hand, Solskjaer was also talking about the tactical arrangements for the second half, but he was more relaxed. The team's offense... he didn't worry about it at all. Anyway, Manchester United has always had only one offensive style. He followed the command of the "King" around the "King" attack!

Solskjaer has only one issue to care about...Defense!

After Haaland scored two goals in a row, Solskjaer also understood what was going on. Mansa and Tuanzebe pushed the defense too far. Since that's the case... let's change it!

"In the second half, our formation will be retracted. Don't leave space for the opponent's offensive players to sprint. Although Haaland is very tall, his athletic ability is still very strong and his speed is very fast, so we must compress the space for our own half! Midfielder, Traore, your position must be suppressed! At the offense, you will still play as before. Of course, you will definitely say that if we play like this, the midfield will be disconnected, but young men, please think about it, whether it is disconnected or not, will it affect our offense? So, don't care about this! Compress the space, do you have a good defense, the rest... do you know what to do?"

"Yang!"

"Leave it to Yang!"

"King, it's up to you!"

"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha, yes, leave the rest to Yang!"

There was laughter in Manchester United's locker room, even though the score had been tied, now both sides returned to the same starting line, but... so what?

Manchester United now has absolute confidence. They believe in Yang Xiaozhuang's goal-scoring ability. They scored 100 goals in a single season. Including the second score in the first half of this game, the super scorer who has scored 128 goals this season!

With such a "king", if we score a goal, why would Manchester United be afraid of it?

Including Solskjaer and all the coaches in the coaching staff, you can even pick up a Manchester United supporter and ask... Who are the "Red Devils" afraid of scoring a goal?

Once upon a time, there was a saying in the football field that "attack wins the audience, defense wins the trophy", but that was the football in the past, and now football has changed a lot. At least on the field, if you want to win the game, you must attack and score goals, otherwise there will be no chance at all!

During the halftime of this Champions League final, Guardiola arranged for the team to break the Manchester United goal in the second half, while Solskjaer arranged for the defensive tactics that did not allow Haaland to score another goal in the second half.

In fact, from the tactical arrangements of the two head coaches, we can already understand who is the one who takes the initiative. Manchester United doesn't consider whether they can score goals at all. They just don't want their opponents to score again, but Manchester City... they still have to work hard to continue scoring!
