Chapter 388 "Speak Out of Righteousness"

At the press conference after the game, some reporters threw questions about Ribery to Duncan.

"I'm sorry. Ribéry is a very capable player and in this defense Ribery and Aguero went down because of the fierce confrontation and we got a corner. I don't know what happened. , but judging from the playback, Franck Ribery's actions are very big, but he is not enough to get a card. Even if he gets a card, a yellow card is enough to punish, and a red card is a bit overkill. Of course, the referee made such a penalty, I think Have his thoughts."

Duncan said.

Although he really hopes that Ribery will not play in the next game, he will not turn black into white, but will only speak out what he sees.

Although Duncan's statement made FIFA very unhappy, it won the respect of the opponent.

Van Gaal actually didn't have a good impression of Duncan. In the news media, when Duncan had many confrontations with Mourinho and Jim Cassell, Duncan's sharp words left a deep impression on Van Gaal.

Unexpectedly, at the press conference, Duncan was able to "speak out of justice".

Such quality is invaluable.

Even Ribery, who was involved in the incident, stood up and expressed his appreciation for Duncan: "Few coaches will admit this. From this point of view, Duncan is a very good coach. Manchester City can achieve the current The results turned out not only because of the players, but also because of the head coach Duncan."

Some unrepentant reporters even asked Ribery about the possibility of joining Manchester City.

Ribery replied: "I don't have any intentions or plans to transfer. I am very happy at Bayern and will stay here forever. Of course, if there is a chance, I can play under Duncan. I think this should be A very pleasing thing."

After this incident, Ribery's favorability for Duncan has increased a lot.

On the second day after the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, the whole world paid great attention to this match that took place at the Allianz Arena.

Especially this red card that changed the course of the game.

Because of getting a red card and being awarded a penalty kick, Bayern Munich undoubtedly became the side that was sympathized.

You know, Bayern Munich made it through an away goal in the quarter-finals with limited advancement.

As a result, in the semi-finals, they encountered such a red card and penalty.

The German media, in particular, unanimously criticized the referee and UEFA outside the country, and even criticized UEFA's principle of not judging penalties based on TV replays.

A well-known German media even specially took out the pictures taken by different lenses, slowed down and compared them frame by frame, in order to prove Ribery's innocence.

The English media, on the other hand, seized on the fact that Ribery and Aguero did have physical contact.

The two sides scolded each other across the air, but the sales of newspapers and websites increased a lot.

Van Gaal also stood up and complained for his disciples: "That penalty is non-existent! Ribery told me that he didn't foul at all. He was going for the football at the time, and only touched the football after clearing the ball. Arriving at Aguero. I trust him and will not lie! We have submitted materials to UEFA to apply for the cancellation of Ribéry's yellow card!"

For Bayern, changing the score in the first round has become very unrealistic.

Now their greatest hope is to cancel Ribery's red card in the first round so that he can play in the second round.

This time, UEFA rarely made a quick decision.

They not only replied to Bayern, but also held a press conference, reiterating that the penalty this time was "fair" and "without error", and refused to change the penalty this time.

For such a result, Bayern had long been psychologically prepared, but they still made remarks, expressing their disappointment with UEFA's penalty this time.

Although Bayern Munich filed a complaint for the second time, in the eyes of many people, this is just an expression of attitude, and the probability of UEFA changing its decision is very small.

Everyone turned their attention to the Champions League, and even forgot about a Premier League game in the middle of the week.

In this Premier League, Manchester City's opponent is Arsenal.

Arsenal is now firmly in fourth place, and they are out of the Champions League.

Manchester City naturally sent a substitute in this game.

The two sides fought against each other, and the final score was 3:3. Although the ending was ordinary, the process was crazy.

This season's Champions League semi-finals, compared with previous seasons, when the Premier League won the top three at every turn, it is rarely in line with UEFA's meaning.

Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga each.

Every league has something to watch.

The league with Arsenal is like an exhibition match between two Champions League games with Bayern, and it did not delay Manchester City's progress in studying Bayern.

This is the advantage of winning the league in advance.

In the past few days of the two games, Duncan and his coaching team have been studying Bayern.

In the quarter-finals, Bayern trailed by three goals at halftime and were able to advance to the final.

Manchester City won two goals at Bayern's home court, but there are still 90 minutes to play, no matter what, it cannot be underestimated.

Van Gaal's tactics at Bayern have been changing.

At the beginning of this season, the league played a 442 diamond position, but with the injury of captain Van Bommel, it was difficult for Shchuk to take on the big role at the end of the season.After Bayern introduced Peter Pan Robben from Real Madrid, Van Gaal switched to 4-3-3.

With the wings of Ribery and Robbenkin getting better, Van Gaal changed Bayern's lineup into a traditional 442 double midfielder position.

But the performance is not good.

Van Gaal attaches great importance to possession of the ball, and his intention is obvious. Through possession of the ball, the opponent's physical strength is consumed. This requires the whole team to be able to spread the ball well and seize the opponent's defensive space to complete the fatal blow.

But Bayern has never been a team known for its delicate footwork. Although they have won many games this season by relying on ball possession, a large part of it is supported by Robery's super personal ability.

"So in this game, I think there is great hope that Van Gaal will change." Duncan looked at his assistants and said.

"Franck Ribery's current characteristics and position in Bayern are irreplaceable. Therefore, Van Gaal's previous tactics must be invalidated. Only Robben's 'unilateralism' tactics were explained in the first round. It doesn’t work. So Van Gaal has one and only one choice left.”

Duncan turned around and drew a long arrow on the tactical board behind him in the center.Then he threw away the chalk and said to his assistants, "Assault in the middle!"
