Chapter 545 David's shot pierces the iron barrel array!
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening! What you are about to see is the 2000-2001 season of the Champions League. The two sides are Manchester United from the Premier League and Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga. Both sides are the hegemons in their respective leagues. We can definitely think that this game is a war between the Premier League and the Bundesliga.

We can see that the celebrities of the two clubs have appeared on the court.On the Bayern side, I saw Hoeness, Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller.

For Manchester United, Sir Bobby Charlton came to the scene in person. He has always been the soul of the club.This means that we can see the three Jazz of Manchester United, old, middle and young, appearing at the San Siro Stadium at the same time.For Manchester United, this is the best era! "

In the player tunnel, Keane and Effenberg stood together. The two captains had mediocre reputations in their respective leagues, and they were both veterans.

Behind Effenberg, Kahn looked serious, like a lion ready to fight at any time.Both of these two people have vicious looks, and they don't look like good people.

Behind them is Bosnia and Herzegovina football king Salihamidzic and Sauer, who is a thief.Behind Sauer stands the Brazilian striker Elber.

As the top scorer in the Bundesliga, there are many calls for Elber to enter the Brazil team.However, the previous head coaches of the Brazilian team have looked down on this Brazilian striker with a European style of play.

It is said that the reason why many head coaches do not recruit Elber is because the level of the Bundesliga is too low.From the perspective of Brazilians, there is nothing unusual about a league composed of a group of unknown players. Most Brazilian players are unwilling to go to the Bundesliga. They think that the German team’s way of playing is very rigid. Players are like pieces on a chessboard, and they must move according to the arrangement of the head coach.

Apart from Lucio and Ze Roberto, Brazil rarely call up Bundesliga players.

Keane and Effenberg talked to each other and sneered from time to time, and the atmosphere of the conversation seemed very unfriendly.

Beckham was wandering, when someone touched his arm suddenly.

He turned around and saw a shy young man with curly hair.

Beckham knew this guy, his name was Hargreaves.

Hargreaves was born in Maple Leaf Country, his parents are British, and he is a Bayern youth player.

The kid has a great story, turning down the Maple Leafs 15-year-old call-up at 17.Beckham thought the young man did a great job. If he represented the Maple Leafs, he would never even touch his legs in the World Cup.

At the age of 17, he represented the Welsh 19-year-old team in a youth team match. After seeing the weakness of the Welsh team in European football, he said that he would no longer accept the call-up.

FIFA allows young players to choose their own representative team as long as they do not represent the senior team.

After the England team won the European Cup and Ince withdrew from the England team, the FA immediately ran to persuade Hargreaves to play for the England team. Anyone with a normal mind would know how to choose.

Beckham felt that this kid was insane and sensible, so he knew that he would take the initiative to visit the pier.

Beckham told Hargreaves to stand up straight, taller than Gary, okay.

He heard from Brian Kidd that he would try to use this 20-year-old midfielder in the next game. The former Manchester United assistant coach said that Hargreaves' style is very used, his abilities in all aspects are very balanced, and he has plenty of stamina.

These qualities are good news for England, Brian Kidd thinks he will be the best replacement for Ince.

This young man who fell from the sky is a good thing for the England team, but it will definitely not be a good thing in the next game.

The two chatted casually. Hargreaves said that his father was a professional player when he was young, played for the Bolton team, and worked as a sales manager for a steel company in Canada after retiring, while his mother was Welsh.

Seeing that this kid came up and reported all the family information, Beckham was a little bit dumbfounded.

The game is about to start, and it's not appropriate for two people to play casual games here.

Beckham pulled Hargreaves to his side and whispered in his ear: "Sooner or later you will be selected for the England team, and then we can coach well. Come on. Don't get hurt!"

Beckham didn't dare to say that the opponent had been selected for the England team. If this silly boy performed super-level in the game, he would be embarrassed.

A few minutes later, the prelude to the Champions League's theme song "Champions League" sounded, a dozen children walked into the stadium, and the staff signaled for both parties to enter.

The Dutch referee Dick Jol was at the forefront. He picked up the football on the table leading to the field and pretended to be forced for a while with a sacred and focused expression.

Players from the two teams led their caddies into the stadium, played the national anthem, and then the players from both sides shook hands.

Beckham saw Kean and Effenberg holding their right hands tightly. Although they were both enduring, they grinned a little.

Beckham smiled and patted Hargreaves on the head as he passed by.

He is really a young man with thick hair. In comparison, his little Robben's hair volume is a bit thin.

Keane lost to Effenberg in the subsequent coin guessing session and lost the ball. The Manchester United captain picked the side with slightly more Manchester United fans.

"Referee Dick Jol blew the whistle for the game and let's see the starting lineups.

Manchester United formed a 4-4-2 formation with Edwin van der Sar in goal and Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Jaap Sturm and Dennis Irwin at the back.The four midfielders are David Beckham, Pavel Nedved, Roy Keane and Ryan Giggs.The two forwards are Andrei Shevchenko and Emil Heskey.

It is worth mentioning that the 35-year-old veteran Irwin has entered the starting lineup. This veteran has won the trust of the coach.Yorke did not enter the starting lineup. It is reported that the player is about to be sold by the team. "

"Bayern Munich formed a 5-4-1 formation. Their goalkeeper is Kahn, and the five defenders are Sagnol, Anderson, Kufuor, Link and Lizarazu. The four midfielders are Sauer. , Effenberg, Hargreaves and Salihamidzic, with Elber as their lone striker."

"Bayern kicked off, the ball was at Hargreaves' feet, Nedved put it up, the two collided, the Bayern midfielder staggered, but he didn't concede the ball and he passed it to Salihamidzic.

Oh, and Gary tackled the ball over the touchline and his tackle was well timed. "

Due to the importance of the game, both sides of the game seemed very cautious.

Beckham found that Hargreaves played very well. He was not at all shy in front of Nedved, and his offensive and defensive performances were good. No wonder he was able to become the main player in Bayern at the age of 20.

And Keane and Effenberg's fight was basically fist to flesh. As long as the two meet together, someone must be lying on the ground.

These two people are very "unable to play". Once the ball is lost, they will immediately bring each other down, and they will not let each other pass at all.

In the first 15 minutes, both teams played very cautiously.

Nedved once tried a long-range shot, but as soon as he lifted his foot, the Bayern defender blocked the ball with his body.

Bayern's formation is very interesting. Their two full-backs have average assault ability, but the two full-backs are quite vigorous.

Seeing the opponent's routine, Manchester United quickly transferred the ball to the wing.

In the 18th minute, Beckham took the ball from the wing, Lizarazu confronted him, and Salihamidzic entangled him closely.

Salihamidzic is a youth player from Hamburg. He was deceived by Bayern just after he showed his talents in the Bundesliga.

Unfortunately, his contract just expired that year, and the Hamburg team didn't even get the transfer fee.

This is the case in the Bundesliga. The players Bayern likes can basically not escape. The entire Bundesliga is their youth training institution.

Salihamidzic clung to Beckham behind him, constantly trying to press.

Beckham worked his way back in possession, bounced Salihamidzic off the pitch, then passed the ball to Nedved and ran upfield without looking back.

Nedved flicked the ball out the first time he received it, and Beckham and Lizarazu fought hard towards the football.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Beckham slammed into the French left-back hard, and the opponent almost lost his balance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Beckham went to the front of the penalty area and made a pass before Link made a replacement.

Shevchenko grabbed the first point and Kahn fought hard to save the ball.

With an exclamation, the San Siro stadium burst into applause.

"Oh, Sheva's header is very threatening, Kahn's reaction is also very fast, Manchester United won the first corner kick of the game!"

Beckham was standing by the corner flag, and his teammates were helping him again, and Kahn in front of the door seemed very irritable.

Don't say anything, take a corner kick and shoot directly!

Thinking of this, Beckham immediately took the corner kick to the far corner.

Seeing the corner kick, Kahn was stunned for a moment, then ran backwards without hesitation, punched the football on the goal line, and he himself was entangled in the net.

The fans in the audience exclaimed again, and then roared with laughter.Kahn broke free from the net very irritablely, but was surrounded by groups, and the whole person was hanging on the net. It was only with the help of other teammates that he was rescued from the net.

"It seems that the Bayern goalkeeper has been watching Manchester United's game video a lot."

Seeing Kahn yelling in front of the door, looking distraught, Martin Taylor joked.

Beckham saw it, and Kahn felt insulted.

The Bayern goalkeeper yelled in front of the goal for a while before quieting down.

Beckham took another corner kick, this time Ferdinand grabbed the first point, the angle of the header was too straight, Kahn threw him in his arms.

Driven by Beckham, the Manchester United team launched several consecutive attacks, and several times there were dangers in front of Bayern's goal.

For the rest of the first half, Bayern simply defended solidly, investing up to 4 players in the frontcourt to participate in the attack.

At the end of the half, Manchester United took possession of the ball in the last 20 minutes, while Bayern Munich concentrated on the bus and finally polished the time.

During the intermission, Ferguson looked a little angry: "They want to waste time and drag the game into a penalty shootout, the Germans always do this.

We must take our destiny into our own hands, we only need one goal to completely crush them! "

Beckham found that the old man summed it up pretty well.

That's what happened to Germany in the World Series, and that's how they went to penalties in the Euro 1996 semi-final before knocking out England.

Four years later, the Germans still wanted to delay, but their strength was no longer on the same level as the England team, and it didn't take much effort for the England team to defeat them.

In the World Cup qualifiers, the young German team sometimes wanted to grind, sometimes wanted to attack, but the England team seized the opportunity to score the winning goal.

As a representative of the Bundesliga, Bayern is well versed in the way of grinding foreign skills, and immediately boarded the bus when they saw that they couldn't beat it.

The Germans have always been very pragmatic in football matches. They don't fight hard if they can't beat them. As long as they don't fall behind, there will be hope.

Anyway, when it comes to penalty kicks, everyone has an equal chance.

The direction of the game was in line with their expectations, but they had a certain psychological advantage.

That's disgusting.

Sure enough, after the start of the second half, Bayern and Manchester United fought for a few rounds, and found that they couldn't fight, so they immediately switched back to the bus mode.

As a strong European team, their strength on the bus is also top in Europe.

The Manchester United team kept scheduling, but they couldn't find a chance.The Bayern players did a great job in terms of running positions and predictions. This scene is simply dumbfounding.

Seeing that the game has entered the 60th minute, the score on the field is still 0-0.

"Bayern played very conservatively, they gave up attacking in the second half and they all went defensive.

Although it is understandable to play for the trophy, the game is really ugly. "

Seeing this, even Martin Taylor couldn't help complaining.

Since ancient times, the German team has been responsible for half of the unnamed games in the finals. They have made the games extremely boring in many important games.

What they have in common is the Italian team. The concrete defense often makes the game look extremely dull.

If you are not a fan of the Azzurri, watching their games is really not an enjoyment.

In the 65th minute, Ferguson replaced Keane with Scholes.

If it is open to attack, Keane will definitely be easy to use.

But when encountering such a sloppy style of play as Bayern, the ginger head is obviously more delicate.

After Scholes played, Beckham began to cross positions with him frequently.

Bayern didn't make any troubles in response. The defensive players only defended the area and did not run with others.

Beckham is on the right, entertained by Salihamidzic, and served by Hargreaves in the middle.If you break through, you will encounter double-teams, and when you shoot, you will encounter human sandbags.

After one attempt, Beckham spotted a hole in Bayern's defense.

Hargreaves and Salihamidzic are responsible for their respective areas, but often encounter handover problems.

In other words, there will be a period of unclear division of labor when changing defenses.

He called Scholes to his side to communicate in a low voice during the stoppage of the game. Hargreaves ran over to eavesdrop, and only heard a few words, and it was still in Manchester dialect.

The game resumed, with Beckham continuing to cross positions with Scholes, with Hargreaves at his side.

At this moment, Beckham suddenly accelerated towards the side, and Scholes quickly returned to the center.

Gary immediately passed the ball to Scholes' feet, and Ginger head gently knocked the ball to the right.

Beckham, who ran to the right just now, suddenly stopped and ran back, throwing Salihamidzic behind him, and Hargreaves had no time to defend.

Beckham didn't hesitate at all, adjusted his pace and kicked a volley.

The football flew to the left of the goal at great speed, and Kahn immediately reacted in the same direction.

But he only moved a step, and the pupils dilated.

The football changed direction halfway and suddenly deflected to the right side of the goal. Just as Kahn stopped, the football was already in front of the goal.

He raised his left arm dejectedly, as if he could touch a football.

1 to 0!Beckham's goal pierced Bayern's iron barrel formation.

"Goal in! David's shot diverted halfway and hit the right side of the goal. Kahn tried to stop, but it was too late, he didn't have time to react!
Manchester United broke through Bayern's goal in the 70th minute, and Bayern's plan fell through completely! "
