Chapter 807 The Most Dangerous Person
The home team's locker room was so quiet that only the footsteps of the players were left.
It is absolutely unacceptable to be equalized by the opponent when you have all the advantages, but it happened! What else can you say except to say indignantly that Bayern Munich is so lucky? Bruno believes that what the team needs most now is not mobilization, but affirmation. The team played very well in the first half. As long as they continue to maintain this pressure, they will definitely have a chance in the second half. But the key is to be patient and not rush. If you continue to play in the same way as you did after taking the lead in the first half, you will score again sooner or later.
But if they get anxious, Bayern Munich is quite strong. If they can really get into their best form, they will be unstoppable.
刚刚过去的2019-2020赛季，拜仁慕尼黑在34场德甲联赛里打进100球，场均2.94球，比曼联场均2.79球的进攻火力犹有过之。在全欧洲也只有在30场比赛里打进89球的苏超霸主凯尔特人的场均进球数能够超过拜仁慕尼黑。
Bayern Munich's offensive ability in the Champions League is even more terrifying. In the 10 games before the final, they scored 42 goals, 12 more than Manchester United, the second-highest scorer.
Even in the entire history of the Champions League, the number of goals scored is enough to rank second, second only to Barcelona in the 42-1999 season. At that time, the Red and Blue Army scored 2000 goals in the entire season.
However, the Champions League season at that time had two rounds of group matches, with a total of 17 games in the entire season, and Barcelona, which reached the semi-finals, played 16 games, so Barcelona's average number of goals per game was only 2.81!
This season, Bayern Munich's average goal per game is 4.2! Just imagine, Barcelona, known as the cosmic team, was scored 8 goals by Bayern Munich in one game, it's so scary! Such a team, even Manchester United dare not slack off.
He immediately walked back and looked at the bench, signaling Coutinho and Perisic to get ready to play. Kingsley Coman already had a yellow card, so it was time to replace him. Gnabry's performance today was not good, and it was difficult to expect anything from him staying on the field.

Not to mention that Bruno scored a goal at the start, even if he didn't score, the fact that he alone tied down two defensive players was enough for Manchester United.
In Manchester United's starting lineup, Mbappe plays as the right winger. The French striker has strong breakthrough and shooting abilities, but his crosses are average. However, Greenwood, who came from Manchester United's youth training, has much stronger crosses. Harry Kane is one of the best forwards in the world in terms of header ability. Mourinho replaced Greenwood to help Manchester United improve their crosses.
If we talk about the most threatening player in Manchester United, it must be Bruno.
There was a sudden silence in the locker room, and everyone looked up at Mourinho.
"He finally couldn't help it." Frick said to himself with a smile.
The role of core players is often reflected in the moment when opportunities appear, such as Bruno's opening goal, or Thomas Muller's possession of the ball, the creator of Kimmich's free kick.
No one knows how the situation will develop after actively seeking change.
First, Thomas Muller was offside, and then his long run in the middle was disrupted by Kante's accurate and decisive tackle.

Both teams clearly felt that no adjustments were necessary in the first-half situation.
The situation is changing little by little.
Bruno really wanted to be like an NBA star, who could smash the opponent's goal by himself. But unfortunately, that was basketball, and he was playing football now, and it was the highest level of football.
Obviously, Manchester United coach also believes that the team's various targeted tactical arrangements in the first half have been implemented and achieved results, and there is no need to make changes and adjustments.
Bruno was closely guarded by Bayern Munich players in the frontcourt. Flick even seemed to be willing to use two players to lock down Bruno. In the first half, Mbappe, Harry Kane, and even Gundogan missed opportunities frequently, which made Bayern Munich feel that this exchange tactic was very cost-effective.
Danny Rohr nodded, and immediately wrote down Flick's words in a simple and clear manner on a note and handed it to Coutinho.
Bruno and players like him no longer need to prove anything with goals or assists; their presence on the field itself is the most threatening thing.
After a pause, Flick reminded again: "Also, tell David Alaba to pay more attention to returning to defense. The first priority is to stabilize the defense."
If Mbappe, Rashford and Harry Kane had been better at seizing opportunities, Manchester United would have led by at least 3:0 in the first half. Bruno made several wonderful passes for them and planned several attacks, but they just couldn't score a goal.
Manchester United adopted a high-pressure tactic, and Lewandowski was offside for the third time. This Pole, who is known as the world's best center forward and once created a miracle of scoring 9 goals in 5 minutes, except for the lucky refraction goal today, his biggest performance was several offsides, but Manchester United did a good job in countering offside.
But for most of the rest of the time, there's really not much the core stars can do.
Fortunately, Kimmich was lucky with that free kick, and the ball hit Lewandowski and deflected into the goal.
Thinking of this, Flick said again: "Add one more thing, tell Goretzka and Thiago to pay attention to cutting off the connection between Harry Kane and Bruno, be sure to pay attention!"
Mourinho could no longer sit still in the 63rd minute and finally made a substitution. In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Flick saw Manchester United's first substitution, with Manchester United's youth player Greenwood replacing another young player Mbappe.
Now, the two sides are finally back to the same starting line. Flick is convinced that if the stalemate continues, the game will only become more and more favorable to Bayern Munich, because Manchester United's style of play will only become more and more disadvantageous in such hot weather.
It can even be said that the closer the game looks, the more dangerous Bruno is.
If Bruno was not there and Goretzka was free, Manchester United's midfield advantage would not be so obvious.
Mourinho said: "The first half was very successful. We completely suppressed Bayern Munich. We need to continue in the second half, making good use of the space behind the opponent's defensive players and taking advantage of our quick counterattack."
………………
Thomas Muller and Thiago did not perform at all, which shows the strength of Manchester United's midfield.
………………
Bayern Munich was also aware of the situation of the game and made targeted arrangements during the halftime break. It was obvious that in the second half, Bayern Munich frequently tried to launch quick counterattacks.
The average age of Bayern Munich players is older, but Manchester United's tactical style is more energy-consuming, which makes the two sides seem to have reached a certain balance again.
"Their midfield is so good!" Flick shook his head and sighed.
………………
This is often seen on the court, a way for the head coach to convey information to the players on the court. Many of the contents on the notes are tacit understandings that we have in daily life, so they can be written very simply and can be understood at a glance.
"Write a note for Coutinho to take up and tell David Alaba to let Thiago come back a little and hand the frontcourt to Thomas (Muller). He should pay attention to assisting and protecting our left side and not let Manchester United pass the ball anymore."
The situation on the court has also become somewhat stalemate.
"Everybody sit down, we have more important things to deal with."
Mourinho spoke again: "We were unlucky in the first half, but that's over. 1:1 is nothing to us. We have the chance to score again. You did a very good job. Keep creating opportunities and we will definitely score again."
But even now, even though the game has been going on for nearly sixty-five minutes, Flick still dared not let his guard down against Bruno, because he was too dangerous!
Mourinho and Faria walked into the locker room and loudly signaled for the players to sit down.
"The main reason is that Bruno has tied up our manpower," Danny Rowe explained.
………………
………………
The players all nodded.
Flick nodded frequently. Bayern Munich used two players to defend Bruno alone. It would be strange if the midfield was not at a disadvantage.
Manchester United had the advantage, Bayern Munich defended well, and neither side was willing to make changes easily.
A trace of worry flashed in Flick's eyes. He still didn't trust Bruno enough.
The hot weather and the completely different tactical style forced Manchester United to consume more energy than Bayern Munich.
Gundogan and Kante form a double defensive midfielder, which is simply a barrier in front of Manchester United's defense. Coupled with Bruno who is good at both offense and defense in the attacking midfielder position, Manchester United's entire midfield is as solid as a rock, and even suppressed Bayern Munich's midfield tonight.
Kingsley Coman and Gnabry started the game in order to get some attacking opportunities, but what was unexpected was that Manchester United's advantage in the first half would be so obvious, and they scored a goal right after the opening, which was quite unfavorable for Bayern Munich.
However, in the past half of the game, whether it was the suppression in the frontcourt or the interception and pressure in the midfield, Manchester United did a very good job. It can even be said that there was no problem, but their luck was a little bad.
"Don't worry, he looks very exhausted and seems to be unable to hold on any longer." Danny Roll said to Bruno on the field.
After the second half, although Bruno still ran more actively, he seemed to have consumed a lot of energy and was not as shining as he was in the first half.
"It's such an important final, with such great pressure and such staggering consumption. I guess he can't bear it." Danny Rowe speculated.
Flick shook his head and said solemnly: "Don't be careless. Don't forget, this is his fourth Champions League final. He led the team to win the final victory in the previous three finals!"
