Chapter 2072 Gift
"This first half is somewhat unexpected..."
"Not only was the goal scored 24 seconds after kick-off unexpected. Manchester United played more and more timidly after taking the lead, and in the end it was completely suppressed by Madrid Pirates. It was also unexpected."
"Munster basically didn't make any adjustments in the second half of the first half. I just watched from the sidelines and didn't know what I was thinking!"
"Could it be that they were overwhelmed by the huge pressure? Although Manchester Athletic's home court is their advantage, it is also a source of pressure for them. If they lose at their home court...how can they explain it to the tens of thousands of home fans?"
As the first half ended and the TV broadcast entered the commercial break, fans also flocked to the Internet to comment on the first half of the game.
"But there is one thing to say, Chen Xingyi's goal is enough to make him famous in history. Not only is it the fastest goal in the history of the Champions League final, it is also the fastest goal in the history of the Champions League!"
"Hu Lai also scored, and all the goals in the first half were from our Chinese players. I think just with these two goals, this final is worth the price of admission!"
"That being said, I still hope that Manchester United can win this game. Hu Lai already has three Champions League titles. Except for him, no other Chinese player has achieved a breakthrough of zero Champions League titles..."
"Hulay also needs this championship. As long as he can win the championship, he can equal Melli in the number of Champions Leagues."
"With the strength of Hu Lai and the Madrid Pirates, they will definitely be able to win the championship in the future. But if Chen Xingyi wants to win the championship, this year may be the best opportunity..."
"Madrid Pirates are about to disband, their meritorious coach has left the team, and their meritorious players have aged out and retired. Why do you think that Madrid Pirates will definitely win the Champions League in the future? If you don't take the opportunity now, how can you expect what will happen in the future? ”
Although Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi have a good personal relationship, it does not mean that their fans can also coexist peacefully.
No one likes to be the loser at this point.
Fans are arguing about their idols.

"We were not resolute enough in the first half, which gave our opponents opportunities to take advantage. Who are our opponents? They are the Madrid Pirates who have won the Champions League for three consecutive seasons. They have created a dynasty in the Champions League. Although the last two They haven't won the championship in three seasons, but that just shows how eager they are to win the championship today. "
In the locker room, head coach Munster was summarizing the first half and making adjustments for the second half.
"When we face such an experienced and highly motivated team, if we don't fight them with 200% of our energy, it will be almost impossible to defeat them! I said this before the game, maybe There are still people who don’t believe it. But after this first half, you should have seen what the game will look like once the Madrid Pirates are comfortable.”
In fact, Manchester United looked a little timid in the second half of the first half, and this was deliberately done by head coach Munster. Because otherwise, he was worried that his team would completely fall into the rhythm of the Madrid Pirates, and unknowingly a hole would be ripped out of the defense, and then Hulay would catch him and score.
"In the second half, we must strengthen the pressing in the midfield and frontcourt, and try every means to break their rhythm of ball control. If we can foul, we will foul. We cannot let the football run smoothly under their feet! Let us speed up the game and play Be faster. Make more vertical passes when attacking, and try not to pass back. If you make a mistake, everyone will immediately jump into the counterattack. Remember, it will be more advantageous for us!"

Juan Ramirez, the captain of Madrid Pirates, stood in the middle of the locker room, looked around at his teammates, and said to them:
"We have experienced many things this season, some good and some bad. But no matter good or bad, it is the road we have walked together. There are so many people in a team, and it is indeed impossible to guarantee everyone's views and hobbies. It's all the same. Even if the team is united, there will always be different voices. But after going through so many twists and turns, we can still go all the way to the end because we have a common goal."
At this point, Ramirez pointed to Hu Lai: "Thank you Hu Lai, he stood up when we were arguing and told us that there is another way besides division, that is to find a common goal. What goal is The common goal? Of course the championship!”
When Ramirez said this, many people in the locker room couldn't help but cast their eyes on Hulay.
Hu Lai, who was sitting in his seat, looked calm.
Ettore Parotti, who was leaning against the door of the locker room, also had a calm expression.
"The Champions League championship is not only our parting gift to our coach Mr. Parotti, but also a gift to ourselves. A commemorative gift for this season."
Having said this, Ramirez paused for a moment, then looked at his teammates and continued:
"Even if it's not for anyone but ourselves, we must win this championship!"

"After the start of the second half, Manchester United stepped up its pressing in the midfield! Munster tried to use this method to break the Madrid Pirates' possession..."
Ten minutes into the second half, the commentators could see the adjustments Munster had made for Manchester United.
There's no secret about this either.
Because for a team that wants to break the pass and control, pressing is always the first choice in the arsenal.
However, pressing is just a means and does not solve the problem.
Pressing is to create scoring opportunities. If Manchester United cannot score, the score will be rewritten.
Then as the Manchester Athletic players are exhausted, such high-intensity pressing cannot be carried out.
The tempo of the game will fall back into the hands of the Madrid Pirates.
In this regard, Munster can rely on the frontcourt trident composed of Chen Xingyi, Edman and Cantero.
Amid the crazy cheers of Manchester Athletic fans, Vukovic was trapped in the midfield and surrounded by Manchester Athletic players.
He tried to pass the football to Joaquin Vela, but was unable to pass the ball due to interference.
The football instead fell at the feet of Manchester United attacking midfielder Jota Serreau.
After receiving the ball, the Portuguese midfielder quickly sent a through ball!
The person he was looking for was none other than Chen Xingyi!
"Chen Xingyi! Manchester United's counterattack!"
Madrid Pirates right back Jose Irazusta is competing with Chen Xingyi for speed.
Then he was defeated.
But it wasn't just Errazusta who returned to defense.
And Kamala, who is equally fast.
When Chen Xingyi threw away Irazusta, Kamara had already chased him and started to interfere.
Chen Xingyi realized that he could no longer get rid of the French winger simply by relying on speed.
So he suddenly stopped and changed direction!
Kamala also stopped and changed direction!
Chen Xingyi tried to change backwards and accelerate down again, but Kamara cut across him and suddenly lost control of the football.
However, Chen Xingyi did not give up because of this. He immediately changed from an offensive player to a defensive role, interfered with Kamara from behind, and even pulled and pulled him, forcing Kamara to not be able to turn around smoothly, and could only throw the football towards A pass through the middle to meet his fellow centre-back Danny Drew.
Manchester Athletic center Janus Edman rushed up to press Drew at this time.
Facing his pressing, the Dutch central defender turned around and passed the football back to goalkeeper Hewel who stepped forward to meet him.
There was also someone pressing on Hewel's side, and it was Manchester Athletic's right winger Cantero.
As long as Cantero can grab the ball here, he will have the opportunity to hit the empty goal directly!
Therefore, the goalkeeper in this area must be very decisive and direct in handling the ball and must not be sloppy.
Seawell did indeed pick up his right foot, as if he was going to pass the football back to Danny Drew.
So Cantero chose to go around and grab the ball, stretching his legs to block Hewel's pass. Maybe he could block the football directly into the goal?
But he missed it!
It wasn't that Hywell passed the football before him, it was Hywell who feinted a shot and knocked the football behind his supporting foot with his swung right foot!
Facing the continuous pressing, Hewel chose to break the game by passing the pressing player!
When he successfully passed Cantero, there was an exclamation from the stands at the shuttle field.
There are both home team fans and many Madrid Pirates fans.
Everyone was shocked!
The commentator also exclaimed: "Haywell! Wow! Wow! Ahaha! That's amazing! Heywell actually chose to pass Cantero!"
"Haywell's mentality is really stable! Faced with continuous pressing, as a goalkeeper, he dared to play with fire in front of his own goal... I have to say, this is experience!"
"This action fully reflects the current mentality of the Madrid Pirates players. Even in the face of Manchester United's aggressive high press, the Pirates can handle it with ease!"
The commentators in the commentary box gave the Madrid Pirates a rainbow fart.
After passing Cantero, Hewel slowly passed the football.
At the same time, he also made a "steady, don't panic" gesture to his teammates.
There is no "pointing fingers" from the head coach off the court, and no loud reminders from the captain slapping his hands.
Every player on the Madrid Pirates team can adjust themselves. (End of chapter)
