Chapter 1,112: There’s Kanter!
There was silence in the visiting team's locker room. Even Muller, who always loved joking, closed his mouth and remained silent.
After a long time, coach Heynckes said slowly: "Boys, you have encountered some trouble, haven't you?"
The players looked up at him, all a little embarrassed.
As the captain, Neuer spoke first: "Coach, we did encounter a lot of trouble in the first half. Manchester United's offense seemed to be completely different from the previous game! Not only Kroos, Griezmann They have continued their good form. Mbappe and De Bruyne, who performed mediocrely in the last game, are also in great form today! And Salah, who has returned from injury, is like Messi of Manchester United, repeatedly creating murderous opportunities!"
The team's right back Rafinha also sighed: "I have tried my best to defend Salah, but he is too fast and his dribbling is excellent. When I defend him, I always feel like It was on our training ground, just like I was defending Robben..."
Hearing his teammates say this, Robben also shook his head: "Manchester United's midfield defense also did a good job today. I didn't get many good opportunities."
Ribery was also silent. Throughout the first half, he didn't even get a chance to shoot...
Rooney also looked solemn: "Today's Manchester United is really a bit, well, I don't understand. Although it is at home, Manchester United is simply much better than the previous game! I don't know this Manchester United anymore. Manchester United, they are not what they used to be! No, they are the same every week!"
Hearing what everyone said, Heynckes said slowly: "Boys, I have an idea now, that is, you may underestimate Manchester United. We were evenly matched with Manchester United in the last game, but you may have felt that Manchester United has no It’s nothing special, seven crown champions are nothing more than that.”
"But you are wrong! The reason why Manchester United can win the seventh crown, but we can't win it, then they are definitely better than us! Think about it, Manchester United's two main forwards did not play in the last game. Lewandowski and Salah are both recuperating at home. According to internal information obtained by our scouts, De Bruyne had a cold before the game and his condition was also affected. Coupled with Alonso's injury in the second half of the game, It makes Manchester United even worse."
"But even so, Manchester United still tied us in the away game! The outbreak of any two of their players can compete with our entire team. What kind of strength is this! And don't forget, they performed well in the last game Sane is just a substitute player for Manchester United!"
"Boys, Manchester United is stronger than you think, much stronger! If you can't make changes in the second half, our journey to the Champions League may end here!"
After hearing what Heynckes said, Muller stood up first: "Hai Shuai, we did not perform very well in the first half. Facing Manchester United's good form, we were a little confused. I guarantee that there will be changes in the second half. !”
Neuer also stood up: "Hai Shuai, we will definitely make a comeback and let Manchester United know that we, Bayern, are the real team of kings!"
Encouraged by the captain and deputy captain, the Bayern players also stood up one after another, excited.
Seeing the performance of the players, Hai Shuai was very satisfied: "Boys, it seems that you have not lost your confidence and fighting spirit in the game! Okay, in the 45 minutes of the second half, I hope to see your desperate counterattack! Our tactical arrangements for the second half , some adjustments need to be made, you look at the whiteboard, you will mainly seek breakthroughs here in the second half..."
At this time, in the home team's locker room, the Manchester United players seemed very excited.
They took a two-goal lead in the first half and had an absolute advantage. As long as they don't collapse in the second half, their ticket to the Champions League final is guaranteed.
However, Jin Taige's face was very solemn at this time, and there was no smile on his face. When the players saw him, they stopped teasing and looked at Jin Taige seriously, waiting for his new instructions.
“Guys, we took the lead in the first half and I’m happy with it.
But you must remember that as long as there is still time, no score is guaranteed! Have you forgotten the miracle of Istanbul? Have you forgotten the miracle of the 1999 Champions League final? You are only leading by two goals now. If Bayern wakes up in the second half, they may equalize or even overtake the score soon! "
After hearing Jin Taige's words, the players gradually calmed down, and their impetuous hearts gradually calmed down.
Jin Taige also lowered his voice and said slowly: "Guys, you performed very well in the first half of the game, but there are also some problems, that is, the midfield pressure was not active enough!"
"You saw in the first half that Bayern has lost its threat. Kroos and De Bruyne, you should press more. I know that you two are relatively safe people. When facing Bayern, Don’t dare to press easily, for fear of being hit back. But for this game, we need some adventurous spirit!”
"Now that Bayern is two goals behind, their mentality must have changed. In the second half of the game, Bayern has no way out. They will definitely invest more offensive forces and the defensive holes will be even bigger! In this way, it's just right. It suits our fast break environment! In the second half, we took the psychological advantage of leading the score. I hope you can be bolder, press the attack, strive for more goals, and completely kill the game!"
"Salah, you performed very well in the first half, and continue in the second half! Griezmann, Mbappe, you have to be more active, and don't skimp on your energy! If you don't have enough energy, I will let Lewandowski replace you. Come out, so don’t worry about anything and attack boldly!”
"Alonso, you performed well in the first half! Continue to press in the second half and use your offense to suppress Bayern's wing breakthroughs. What about Robben and Ribery? Your offensive ability is not inferior to them! And don't do anything after pressing. Worry, there is Kanter behind you!"
Kim Tiger's words "Kante is here" made the locker room burst into laughter.
The players recalled that a few seasons ago, when Kante had just joined Manchester United and started playing in the Premier League for the first time, he defended his opponents without any temper at all. During the halftime break of that game, Kim Tiger said countless times, "There's Kanter here," which was still fresh in everyone's memory.
Seeing everyone looking at him in a friendly manner, Kanter stood up. He was not good at talking, but at this time his expression was simple: "Don't worry, everyone, I will do my best to help the team's defense in the second half and make up for everyone! Don't worry, everyone will press the offense." Bar!"
