My name is Colani
Chapter 856 149 Battle of Wembley 3
Rooney took a corner kick, Vidic pressed Barzagli to head the ball at the back post, and Kameni lost the goal.
Vidic's goal stimulated the nerves of Manchester United players. Although they made mistakes, they were able to narrow the score again soon. This stimulation was not small. Manchester United players cheered each other up. In order to save time, Vidic and others did not celebrate much, and immediately returned to their own half to wait for Trapani to kick off.
Wenger's mood, which had just been relaxed, was suspended again. If there is any weak link in Trapani's lineup, the right back must be the weakest link. Maggio's upper limit is like this, and Coleman is too young. He has received many opportunities this season. His growth is not bad, but he still lacks experience.
Maggio was clearly a little distracted just now. When he woke up, Nani had already left.
Fortunately, Trapani is still leading, and it is still not easy for Manchester United to equalize the score.
Ferguson is not a conservative coach. He immediately gave new instructions to the two wingers Valencia and Nani, asking them to break through boldly and play on both sides to see if they can create corner kicks or set-piece opportunities.
Ferguson now regrets not including Berbatov in the squad. Berbatov has a very interesting nickname "Xiaosha Brother" among Chinese fans. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this guy scoring goals. The problem is his attitude on the field, which is too cool!
However, today's center forward Hernandez was a bit disappointing. He was restricted by Trapani's defense line. In addition, the midfield did not provide much support for the striker. Hernandez only completed two shots, and neither of them was considered.
If there was a Berbatov, at least the Bulgarian would be okay in terms of height, and he would not be crushed like Hernandez.
Details determine success or failure. Coaches like Ferguson have strong insight on the court. Although Trapani is not as short as Barcelona in terms of average height, the ability to play set pieces is still a weakness. Wenger has improved the team's ability to defend against aerial balls to a certain extent, but it is still not as tough as some strong teams in the Premier League, such as Chelsea and Manchester United.
Wenger was unwilling to give in, and the two sides began to enter the offensive phase. Nani and Valencia were not fools. They faithfully executed Ferguson's instructions. Although they rarely got the ball, once they got the ball, their speed provided a good guarantee for their performance. Kassai's whistle was quite severe. Evra and Maggio were penalized for fouls several times, which caused strong dissatisfaction from Trapani.
You said that Kassai was biased, which was wrong. Manchester United's fouls were often whistled. What's annoying is that Trapani's set-piece tactics were not effective, while Manchester United used limited set-piece opportunities to frequently create trouble.
Ferdinand and Vidic's aerial threats were too great. Compared with Boateng and Barzagli, these two people's aerial dominance was indeed strong.
Ferguson replaced Giggs with Scholes again. This was a signal to strengthen midfield control. Ferguson was unwilling to let Wenger's team dominate the midfield for a long time. However, his substitution was not very effective. Scholes's appearance failed to reverse the situation. Trapani still dominated the midfield.
As time passed, the game was getting closer and closer to the end. Manchester United's two wingers seemed to be more and more powerless. Instead, Trapani's frontcourt was more active.
In the 80th minute, Di Maria broke through and cut inside, crossed the ball, Suarez missed the ball, Carrick was not close to him, and Kaka inserted again, and a powerful shot hit the Manchester United goal directly. Although Van der Sar made a save, he actually didn't touch the ball at all!
3:1, Kaka helped Trapani expand their lead again. Time was running out, and Trapani's players celebrated even more crazily. Kaka, who had almost exhausted his physical strength, was thrown to the ground by his teammates and could not get up for a long time.
It was not until this time that Wenger started to make substitutions. Modric replaced Schweinsteiger, Henry replaced Kaka, Di Maria played in the middle, and Cavani replaced Suarez.
Three people were replaced in one breath, and Ferguson also made substitutions. He was ready to go all out.
Trapani paid more attention to the control of the ball after this. Although Manchester United had the courage to fight to the death, the technical gap was difficult to make up, especially after Modric came on the court. His role was the same as Ferguson's use of Scholes, and he also wanted to control the midfield more strongly.
Scholes was unable to complete the task because his teammates were "too weak", but Modric was different. Di Maria moved to the middle in front, which made the technical strength of the midfield triangle stronger than before. Facing Manchester United's pressing, Modric was quite a general and performed with ease.
Manchester United still fought until the whistle of the end of the game in the face of such a situation. The ending of the story was bitter for them. The sweat of the players had soaked their jerseys, and they all collapsed to the ground. However, competitive sports are so cruel. Facing stronger opponents, having the right attitude and tactics is not enough. More importantly, they need luck.
Trapani was crazy. Just as Hugo said at the beginning, they completed a feat and became the first team to defend the Champions League since the reform.
Looking at the crazy celebration scene below, Hugo turned around and hugged Victor who was laughing, and shouted loudly: "It feels great to create history!"
"Yes, Gigi, you did it! We did it! Now no one will deny that we are the best team! These guys are really great!" Victor patted Hugo on the back, almost making Hugo vomit blood.
Wenger was abandoned by the players, with a relieved smile on his face. He succeeded! Wenger never dreamed that in the first season, the first season after taking over the team, he successfully led the team to win the league and Champions League, and there was an Italian Cup waiting for him. Wenger was full of confidence.
After a long period of excitement, UEFA started the championship award ceremony, and the frustrated Manchester United players had to go on stage to receive the silver medal.
Trapani's players and coaching staff consciously lined up in two rows and waited for them on the way to the podium. This was a respect for the opponent. As the head coach, Ferguson's depression can be imagined, but the players were so depressed, and his stern face would only make the players more uncomfortable, so Ferguson smiled as he walked through the passage and shook hands with Trapani's players one by one.
When he met Messi and Kaka, the two heroes of the game, he even had a special chat with them.
"Old friend, this is what it means to want to compete. There will always be losers!" Wenger didn't want to be sad. Even Ferguson couldn't be sad. He was so excited and happy that he didn't have time to feel inexplicably heartbroken.
"Just laugh! Don't hold it back!" Ferguson said to Wenger with a deliberately cold face.
"Hehe!" Wenger shrugged and really laughed, very happy. "I now understand your mood in the 1999 Champions League. You were excited and wonderful, and you couldn't help wanting to laugh! I really don't know how to comfort you!"
"I don't need your comfort! Congratulations, you won the Champions League. Trapani is indeed a good platform. You will realize all your football dreams here!" Ferguson shook Wenger's hand.
"I have the idea of resigning and retiring now!" Wenger smiled. Winning the Champions League and achieving the dreamed success did give him a little idea, but this guy regretted it after he said it. The good life has just begun. How could he just let it go like this?
"I don't believe it!" Ferguson looked at Wenger with disdain. Wenger was much younger than him, and he knew better that football had become an inseparable part of their lives. It was not time for Wenger to retire at this age.
