Chapter 401 Champions League Final: The Limit

"Beautiful! With a volley shot after getting rid of the defense, Yang Mo opened the scoring for Manchester City!"

"The goal of this kick is so simple and beautiful. Steal the ball, pass the ball, catch the ball, shoot, all in one go!"

"Schweinsteiger's kick just now was too careless. Yang Mo completely guessed the route. Bayern paid a heavy price for it."

"After scoring this goal, Yang Mo's number of goals in the Champions League this season has reached [-]. He broke the single-season scoring record in the Champions League held by himself!"

"On top of this crucial competition, it still depends on Yang Mo. Throughout every promotion of Manchester City in the Champions League this season, Yang Mo has played an irreplaceable role."

"If this game can win the championship, I think Mansour will definitely feel that his [-] million dollars is too worthwhile. The Champions League double crown, this is not something that can be done with money!"

"You say Yang Mo like this is only worth 8000 million? I dare say that if Yang Mo transfers this season, he won't sell it to Manchester City for [-] million!"

……

When Liu Jianhong and Duan Xuan were bragging about Yang Mo, Mansur actually couldn't care how much Yang Mo was worth.

In the VIP box of the Munich Stadium, the moment Yang Mo scored, Mansour, Mubarak and others rushed up from their chairs. They didn't want the demeanor of the Abu Dhabi royal family. Shout.

Football is such a distraction.

On the field, after scoring the goal, Yang Mo roared and ran all the way to the Manchester City bench. Behind him, a group of teammates followed closely.

Just when Yang Mo hugged Mancini excitedly, Silva, Dzeko, Yaya Toure, Aguero and others all rushed up.

Yang Mo's goal made them see the hope of winning. How can this make them not excited? This is the final of the Champions League!
Whether it is Dzeko who may leave next season, or Aguero who has just joined, no one can refuse the honor of the Champions League.

In the stands of the Munich Stadium, because of Yang Mo's goal, the cheers of more than 1 Manchester City fans overwhelmed the voices of more than 4 Bayern fans for the first time.

This season is an extremely happy season for Manchester City fans. They watched the team win the first Premier League title amidst ups and downs, and now they see the possibility of winning the Champions League. Happier than them.

Seeing Yang Mo surrounded by coaches and teammates in the center of the field, Manchester City fans never felt at ease.

This young man from China seems to have a kind of magical power. Without him, Manchester City is like a snake without a head, and they don't know how to play at all.

But as long as he is on the field, Manchester City has a courageous temperament, everyone regards him as the core, and they are invincible!
Mansur's exorbitant transfer fee and Mancini's incomparable trust have all been rewarded by Yang Mo.

With 53 goals in the league, 18 goals in the Champions League, and already won the Premier League title, Yang Mo told everyone how reliable he is with practical actions!

Also looking at Yang Mo celebrating on the sidelines, there are also a large number of Bayern fans, but their current mood is undoubtedly complicated and helpless.

Two years ago, they watched Yang Mo celebrate again and again, helping Bayern win an unprecedented six championships.

But two years later, everything changed and Bayern returned to their home court for the Champions League final, but Yang Mo became an opponent.

They really wanted to reprimand Yang Mo, why did he celebrate so wantonly when facing his old club.

But recalling the situation when Yang Mo left, how did they say such words.

It was not a happy breakup, and it was not only the senior management of the Bayern club that caused Yang Mo to choose to leave, but also some of them.

Just when they thought everything was about to pass, Yang Mo came back, using another way, using a way to punish them!

Is this God's arrangement?
The Bayern fans were confused.

The celebration on the sidelines ended quickly, and the game ended with 1 minute left in the first half. After Bayern kicked off in the middle circle, they started the last attack of the first half.

The offense played extraordinarily hard this time, and it seemed that Bayern wanted to do something before the end of the first half, such as equalizing the score.

However, Manchester City did not give Bayern such a chance.

It is too difficult to make a change in 1 minute.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, Bayern's offense came to an abrupt end, and the score was still 0-1.

With a ball advantage, the Manchester City players entered the dressing room.

At the end of the live game, the broadcast screen returned to the studio, and several famous analysts in the studio began to analyze the situation in the first half.

As the saying goes, the bystanders are clear. After talking about it, these people did see some problems.

Watching the wonderful replay, the special guest He Wei said: "Did you see that in the first half, Manchester City's midfielders, especially Yang Mo and Silva, have been targeting Schweinsteiger. Kicking."

Shen Fangjian next to him immediately said: "That's right, as long as there is a chance for Yang Mo to go one-on-one against Schweinsteiger, Silva will definitely give the ball to Schweinsteiger immediately. The two also double-teamed immediately."

He Wei: "That's right, being targeted in this way, Schweinsteiger's mentality is obviously out of order, especially after being knocked down by Yang Mo, both defensive and offensive techniques began to make mistakes, and finally Yang Mo's Stealing the ball and counterattacking, passing the ball was obviously in a hurry, and he didn't even notice Yang Mo behind him."

"Bayern must consider how to solve Schweinsteiger's mentality problem in the second half, otherwise they will continue to be targeted and have trouble."

Shen Fangjian: "Who is in charge of Bayern? The only midfielders on the substitute list are Planic and Usami Takashi. It is not impossible to play Planic, but it is difficult for this veteran to keep up with Yang Mo. If Yang Mo played out the speed, it would be even more difficult for Bayern's defense to defend."

"On Usami Takashi, I have to say that this young Japanese player has some skills, and his offense is good, but his defense is a bit too tender. In the Asian Cup, Endo Yasuto and Hasebe Makoto couldn't help Yang Mo. Usami Takashi It's even worse."

He Wei: "If it doesn't work, we can only play Van Buyten or Rafinha, but now that Bayern is behind in the score, it would be too passive for two defenders to attack."

After a few guests said a few words, Yang Ma entered the advertising time.

And far away in the locker room of the home team at the Munich Stadium in Germany, the old coach Heynckes looked around the locker room, and indeed he had some headaches.

According to his observation and analysis of Manchester City this season, Mancini is often very utilitarian after taking the lead. After taking the lead, he will definitely strengthen the defense immediately to ensure the lead.

Bayern is now behind in the score, and the Champions League final is determined by one game. If you want to win, you can only attack and equalize the score first. This is a matter without hesitation.

The problem is that even if Manchester City takes the initiative to shrink the defense, as long as Yang Mo is on the field, the opponent has to be careful about Manchester City's counterattack, so there is no way to attack with all their strength.

At this point, Heynckes couldn't help being a little annoyed at Bayern's breaking with Yang Mo.

Players like Yang Mo can also be forced to leave. Bai really has been the boss of the Bundesliga for too long, and has developed a bad habit of being self-centered.

If Bayern has Yang Mo now, with this season's lineup, how can it end up in a situation where it is possible that all four players will be empty.

Without Yang Mo's Manchester City, Bayern has nothing to fear.

But no matter how annoyed Heynckes was, the game still had to be played. He could only press down and think about what to do in the second half.

Thinking of this, Heynckes looked at Schweinsteiger, who was leaning against the cabinet, his eyes seemed to have lost focus.

As the short half-time break ended, the live broadcast of the second half of the game appeared on the screen again.

At this time, the two teams on the field have changed in lineup.

Sure enough, Mancini did as Heynckes expected. Immediately after taking the lead, he replaced Dzeko with De Jong to strengthen the midfield defense.

After Heynckes considered it for a long time, he did not replace Schweinsteiger, who was in the wrong mood, but replaced Muller with Van Buyten.

After simply appeasing Schweinsteiger, Heynckes chose to trust Schweinsteiger instead of replacing him completely.

However, because of the need to strengthen the frontcourt attack, Heynckes had to replace with a defender to further counterattack against Yang Mo.

The game started just after the invisible confrontation between the two coaches.

At the beginning of the second half, Yang Mo still tried to attack Schweinsteiger, but perhaps it was Heynckes' psychological comfort that worked. Although Schweinsteiger was still a little nervous, he did not commit any crimes. Low-level mistake.

And because Heynckes told the team to start more offenses from Kroos, Yang Mo and Silva's oppressive defense against Schweinsteiger gradually lost its effect.

The most important thing is that after Yang Mo scored a goal in the first half, Bayern paid more attention to his defense.

Not only Schweinsteiger was close to him, but as soon as he touched the ball, Rahm and Van Buyten who had just played would immediately double-team him.

Even sometimes Robben would retreat to harass him, regardless of the opportunity to attack.

In order to completely block Yang Mo's point, Heynckes has put in a lot of effort. A conceded goal is enough to make Bayern passive. If Yang Mo finds an opportunity again, then Bayern will be able to raise their hands and surrender.

In this case, even if Yang Mo has three heads and six arms, it is difficult to use it.

These are all his old teammates, and he knows his playing habits very well. Manchester City's attack from Yang Mo's side gradually began to be a little misfired.

And because Mancini replaced Dzeko, Manchester City lacked pointers in the penalty area, and Aguero alone could not carry the offensive banner on the right.

Therefore, after entering the second half, Manchester City's offensive power was greatly reduced and began to focus on defense.

In the 72 minutes of the second half, Mancini, who was completely focused on defending this point, made another personnel adjustment.

Aguero off, Kolo Touré on.

Mancini's substitution is tantamount to completely telling the outside world that Manchester City is ready to stick to the goal and win the game.

But what Mancini didn't expect was that it was precisely because of his substitution that Manchester City gave up a good situation and almost made Manchester City irreversible.

88 minutes in the second half, including 3 minutes stoppage time, the game ended with less than 5 minutes left.

At this time, the Manchester City players, except for Yang Mo, have all shrunk to defend near the penalty area.

Whether it's Manchester City fans or Bayern fans, whether it's the relatives and friends of those players, or the big shots of the club sitting in the VIP box, they have all begun to wait for the end of the game in seconds.

Looking at Manchester City's solid defense, most people guessed that in 5 minutes, a new UEFA Champions League champion would be born.

But at this moment, Bayern, who didn't want to admit defeat, launched a desperate attack. Franck Ribery and Robben ran and dragged Manchester City's defense line regardless of their physical strength.

Kroos, the young Bayern brain, swept the sharp eyes of Manchester City's penalty area and sent the ball to Schweinsteiger.

Schweinsteiger, the key figure who conceded a goal for Bayern in the first half, took a few steps along the front of Manchester City's penalty area after receiving the ball, and made a move to hit the goal with a long shot.

Seeing Schweinsteiger hit the goal, the Manchester City players quickly moved their positions, trying to block the shooting angle.

But Schweinsteiger sent the ball out with a hypothetical true pass and sent it into the penalty area!
"Schweinsteiger passed the ball...to Gomez...not good! Kolo Touré missed, Gomez shot...the ball...the goal!"

"My goodness, Bayern tied the score towards the end of the game."

"Schweinsteiger's pass accurately found Gomez in the penalty area, but Kolo Toure missed at this time, Schweinsteiger's pass saved himself, Gomez Max's goal saved Bayern..."

"What a pity, what a pity, Manchester City were only a few minutes away from winning, Mancini's defensive strategy in the second half was declared a failure at the last moment, and Kolo Touré, who he finally replaced, will bear the greatest responsibility for this conceded goal. responsibility!"

In Yang Ma's live broadcast, Liu Jianhong and Duan Xuan's tone was full of regret, dissatisfaction, and complaints.

However, no one among the Chinese fans who watched the game at this time cared about whether the two abided by the principle of fair commentary. Everyone was stunned to see the Bayern players celebrating wildly on the field.

And it's not just the Chinese fans who are dumbfounded.

Hearing the stormy cheers from the Bayern fans who had been silent for most of the time, Mansour in the VIP box looked gloomy and dropped the red wine glass in his hand to the ground.

"I spent so much money, it's not for him to play the game so ugly!"

Obviously, Mansur's fire was directed at Mancini.

The head coach's tactical adjustments in this game can't be described as "conservative". When they played back and forth with Bayern in the first half, Manchester City did not fall into a disadvantage, and even took a goal advantage.

But after the start of the second half, in order to defend the advantage of a goal, Mancini suddenly gave up his offensive advantage and took the initiative to shrink the lineup to defend.

In the end, replacing Aguero with Kolo Toure completely made Manchester City give up their plan to attack frontally, and fell into a passive state of being beaten.

Although Yang Mo has a lot of power in the counterattack, the counterattack also needs the cooperation of his teammates. The passive scene of Manchester City in the end undoubtedly made Yang Mo unable to use his strength.

Maybe Mancini doesn't do this and continues to play against Manchester City, and the final result may not be a sure win.

But he gave up attacking so "cautiously" and decided to defend in an all-round way, but was eventually equalized by Bayern. Then everyone will definitely feel that it is his tactical responsibility.

Perhaps it was the continuous winless period in the middle of the Premier League that made Mancini very eager to win every game. During this period of time at the end of the season, Mancini's tactics began to become more conservative.

The game against Manchester United was also the same. After getting the goal advantage, he defended quickly, and then used the defense to win.

This method finally tasted the bitter fruit in this Champions League.

When Bayern's celebration ended, Manchester City finally walked out of the penalty area and wanted to attack, but Dzeko and Aguero's end, Yang Mo was surrounded by Bayern again, making Manchester City no longer able to attack.

But in the little time left, Bayern began to defend with all their strength. They obviously wanted to drag the game into overtime.

Liu Jianhong: "Looks like overtime will be played."

Duan Xuan: "Bayern came back to life, it is really unexpected."

In the regret of the two commentators, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the game entered the break.

While fans all over the world waited anxiously, the short break passed quickly, players from both sides reappeared, and the first half of overtime began.

Before playing, Mancini made the last substitution adjustment, and Balotelli replaced Clichy.

"Headache cures head and foot pain treats feet. Mancini's coaching in this Champions League final can only be described as a failure. He scored a goal and went to the defensive player. When the score was tied, he went to the striker. Balotelli played in the second half. Cheng Lian only made seven appearances in total, and five of them were substitutes, so how can you guarantee your state if you suddenly appear in such a crucial game?"

Liu Jianhong was obviously dissatisfied with Mancini's substitution.

Duan Xuan next to him shook his head and said, "Obviously Mancini doesn't want to drag the game to a penalty shootout, after all, the uncertainty is too great."

While the two were talking, the game had officially started, and the two teams immediately started a back-and-forth battle. In fact, neither team wanted the game to be dragged into overtime.

Although Balotelli played positively after playing, it was difficult for him alone to break through Bayern's defense when Yang Mo was frantically targeted by Bayern.

At this time of the game, the biggest problem is that the physical strength of the players of the two teams has all reached their limit.

On Bayern's side, Robery's wings can't fly, and the Manchester City players are not much better.

Yang Mo, who played overtime for the first time in his life, breathed like a bellows every time he ran, and a fire seemed to be burning in his lungs. Since his endurance talent reached 91, it was the first time he felt this feeling .
