Chapter 380 Witness the miracle again
The lagging Manchester United tried to strengthen the offensive and find opportunities to score, but although Ryan Giggs and David Beckham played their strengths, their breakthroughs and crosses did not create a shot. Without Keane and Scholes, Manchester United's midfield could not beat Bayern's midfield. This season, Mattus and Effenberg practiced to play the most beautiful half. Although the relationship between the two was very bad, their cooperation on the football field was still seamless.
At the end of the first half, Manchester United had no decent shot opportunities! If Bayern Munich had not slowed down the pace of offense and focused on defense, Manchester United would have been even more miserable.
"Stefan, as long as we have the same 45 minutes in the next 45 minutes as in the first 45 minutes, we will definitely win." Basler and Effenberg started to communicate in the Bayern locker room.
"Yes, they won't have any chance."
"But we still have to try to score another goal in the second half, and one goal is not safe." Mattus poured cold water on the side.
"This team is tough, we can't underestimate them."
Heathfield's face was very calm, "Stay steady, kick at the rhythm of the first half, control the ball at our feet, destroy all their attacks, and victory will definitely belong to us."
"Lotal, you just need to focus on defense."

"You are ready, if there are still minutes left in the game, you have to go." Ferguson quickly rushed to Sheringham and explained to Sheringham seriously.
"You, warm up together, too." He pointed out Solskjaer's name again.
"There is still a lot of time, we must hold on. One ball is not the end of the day!"
...

"cold,"
"It's definitely cold,"
"Manchester United had almost no fight back in the first half, and it felt like Bayern didn't try their best."
"Beckham and Giggs both blow it out. I didn't see any performances. York and Andy Cole were not good either. The black wind and the two evil spirits were so famous!" Even Li Weifeng couldn't stand it anymore and kept complaining about Manchester United.
After the second half of the game started, Manchester United did not improve at all.
Bayern still has the advantage in the field. Manchester United still failed to create a shot in the first 15 minutes, and Bayern also gave Yankel two headers.
Ferguson finally couldn't hold back and replaced the 33-year-old veteran Sheringham in advance, trying to continue to try to strengthen the offense. Bayern coach made a move to deal with it himself, and Heathfield replaced Sauer to strengthen the midfield organization. The latter was the result. After Sauer came up for a few minutes, he immediately found a chance to score. Basler broke through and sent a second pass. Sauer saw Schmeichel's position too far from 20 yards, and immediately took a kick and shot!
In a hurry, Schumeter took two steps back and jumped. After touching the tip of his right finger, the ball hit the Manchester United goal post and bounced back! In the end, Schumeter was hugged in his arms with relief.
"Aowu~"
"I almost killed the game."
"Schmeichel was almost humiliated again, just a little bit short of it."
"Bayern wasted several opportunities."
"If you enter another one, the game will be stable."
Ferguson, who was shocked and sweated, was chewing gum on the sidelines, and then loudly expressed his dissatisfaction with his disciples. At this time, he must have missed Keane and Scholes very much. If they were both on the court, Manchester United would not be so passive. But now he can only struggle but see no hope of equalization.
At this time, Bayern Munich captain Mattus took the initiative to wave to Heathfield on the sidelines. Judging from his sweaty face, he was already very tired.
After all, I am 38 years old and I have paid more than usual to play such a fierce Champions League final. The running in the middle of the midfield is different from playing the scavenger before, and playing in the midfield requires more running.
Heathfield saw it, but did not replace Mattus as soon as possible because he knew that Mattus was two different Bayern Munich teams on the court and not on the court.
He delayed the time until the 80th minute before replacing Mattus. Seeing Mattus come off, Ferguson immediately reacted and replaced another substitute, Solskjaer, and played three forwards! This was a desperate attempt.
But there was still a lot of thunder and rain, and Bayern was still steadily controlling the situation on the court and did not give Manchester United any chance. They were eager to attack and instead gave Bayern Munich a good chance to score again. High center forward Yankee shot with a very clever barb, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back. Manchester United avoided the disaster again!!!!!!!
Bayern Munich fans in the Camp Nou stands were crying and were crying. Bayern players missed two consecutive opportunities to rewrite the score. Even if they made one, they didn't need to be nervous anymore.
Manchester United finally made two waves of attacks, and the shots of Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer forced the Whites to make wonderful saves from Kahn!
The Bayern players were finally a little panicked. The more they were in the last moment of the game, the more they tested their willpower.
At the critical moment, Heathfield took action again. He changed his tactics and gradually began to retreat to defense. He also replaced Basler, who performed the best in the game, and was preparing to strengthen the defense while spending the last few minutes of the game.
At this time, the fourth official began to raise the stoppage time sign, and the injury time was suspended for three minutes!
UEFA President Reinant Johnson stood up from the rostrum and was about to take the elevator to present Bayern Munich with awards. When he walked past Manchester United legend Bobby Charlton, he spoke: "Sorry."
He comforted Charlton.
And UEFA staff have begun to tie Bayern-colored ribbons to the big ear trophy.
German TV commentary began to quote the famous quote from retired England striker Gary Leinker: "Football is a simple sport. 22 people chased a ball and ran for 90 minutes, and then the Germans won."
"Only three minutes left!"
"Another UEFA Champions League trophy is about to be won!"
The bald referee Corina was also looking at the watch frequently. He wanted to confirm how much time he would give to Manchester United. In his opinion, the time afterwards actually lost its meaning.
But at this time, Manchester United obtained a corner kick through a cross from right back Gary Neville from the left! Manchester United still has a chance to equalize!
Heathfield shouted excitedly on the sidelines. Even if it was the team coach, the corner kicks during this period would be frightening. "Sign up!"
"Sign up!"
"Sign up!"
He yelled three times in a row.
Beckham stood at the corner flag and observed his teammates' running position. Goalkeeper Schmeichel also rushed to Bayern's penalty area, trying to reproduce the scene of his magical header equalization many years ago.
At this time, the famous British football commentator, Clever Tildesley, who is a Manchester United fan, said on TV: "Can Manchester United score goals? They always score goals!"
"The game is not over yet, let us believe in the miracle!"
Beckham took a corner kick, and Schmeichel's huge body caused chaos in the middle of the penalty area, but no one could win. Manchester United striker York barely touched the ball back to the middle from the far point, but was cleared by Fink who came from the bench. However, the ball was not far away, and Giggs on the penalty area line volleyed with his right foot and did not score strength! The ball came to Sheringham outside the small penalty area.
Sheringham turned around and shot 180 degrees! The ball flew into the bottom right corner of Bayern's goal!
Kahn had no choice but to equalize the score in the first minute of injury time.
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
...

Zheng Zhi finally raised his arms in the stands and shouted. Although he knew that all this would happen, when the goal really came, he celebrated like all Manchester United fans.
Chapter completed!
