Chapter 100: The Final

In the end, Bayern Munich and Manchester United competed for three or four places in the final, AC Milan and Boca competed for three or four places, a team won or lost, it was played twice, and it was completed in two days, so the physical demand for players was relatively large, and rotation was inevitable, and friendly matches were not regular.

On the afternoon of July 31, the second round of the Audi Cup continued to be staged at the Allianz Arena, and the first time to appear in the AC Milan vs Boca Juniors battle for the third and fourth places, it has to be said that AC Milan has been in poor form recently, after losing to Bayern, this is their five friendly winless.

So in the face of Boca Juniors, AC Milan did their best and was ready to go all out to win in order to end the embarrassing situation of not winning, but unfortunately, AC Milan's state was too bad, and the physical consumption of a match with Bayern Munich yesterday had not yet recovered, and AC Milan still did not win this game.

AC Milan scored in the first half through Silva's corner kick, and as a result, AC Milan led almost the entire game, but were equalized by Boca Juniors in the final moments, and Boca's goal was also a header, which came from a header against Beatri, knocking on the door of AC Milan.

In the end, the 90-minute normal game ended, the two sides drew 1:1, the Audi Cup drew and did not play overtime, two games in two days were a big test of physical fitness, and naturally there will be no extra time, so it directly entered the penalty shootout, AC Milan was too unlucky, Pirlo and Pato's shots were saved by the Boca Juniors goalkeeper, AC Milan ushered in an embarrassing record of six winless friendly matches, and the Audi Cup could only rank fourth.

Now that the battle for the third and fourth places is over, it naturally heralds the beginning of the competition for the championship and runner-up, and after a 45-minute break, the Bayern and Manchester United players officially appeared.

Compared with yesterday's Bayern lineup, there have been great changes, the forwards are the veteran Klose and Olich, the two sides are Baumjohn and Sosa, the middle is composed of Schweinsteiger and captain Van Bommel, the back line Van Bitten and Brenau are in the middle, Stiller and Glitz occupy both sides, and goalkeepers Rensing and Li Feng are sitting on the bench.

Manchester United's lineup is the former England golden boy Michael Owen, I have to say that the transfer to Real Madrid ruined Owen's life, and Owen is partnered with the dashing Gobertitar Batorbatov, Giggs and Nani on both sides, Scholes and Fletcher in the middle, Evra, Evans, Brown and O'Shea in the backline, goalkeeper Kuszczak, Van der Sar is currently recovering from a broken finger.

With the referee's whistle, the game between the two sides officially began, the first kick-off was Manchester United, Owen passed back, Scholes took the ball, and turned back again, Fletcher took the ball in the backfield, at this time Bayern formation pulled away, poured into the Manchester United half, and then Fletcher split the ball on the left side.

In recent years, Evra has been known as the best left-back in the world, only to see Evra take the ball to Bayern half of the field, Giggs understood, attracted Glitz, opened the gap for Evra, Baumjohn desperately chased back, but unfortunately could not catch up at all, and could only watch Evra get farther and farther away.

Van Bitten yelled, rushed out of the penalty area, and signaled Glitz to return to defend Evra, but at this time Evra had come to the bottom line, and Glitz on the opposite side of the defense kept a half-high ball cross, Demichelis was hard to beat with four hands with both fists, and finally the dashing brother grabbed the first landing point.

"Bang~~~", the fans at the scene sounded a burst of regret, Berbatov himself looked incredulous, in the face of the Bayern goal close at hand, he actually shot crooked, and the football hit the post and popped off the bottom line.

The enemy's misfortune is their greatest luck, on the Bayern bench, the three second-forcing youths are mercilessly laughing at the chic brother, Li Feng even informed the other two second-forcing youths of the title of the chic brother, and suddenly provoked the two second-forcing youths to observe the chic brother throughout the game, and finally Muller ran to exchange jerseys with him after the game.

Muller's behavior made Berbatov scratch his head, because the two had no intersection at all in this game, Berbatov had already been replaced by Rooney when Muller came on the field, of course, if Berbatov knew why Muller was looking for him to change his jersey, it is estimated that he would directly PK in real person.

As the game progressed, both sides had a good opportunity, but everyone was not in good shape, Owen even got a chance to go alone, but the old golden boy wasted this opportunity, Owen on the scene is no longer what it used to be, injuries ruined the former chasing boy, you must know that Owen is only 29 years old now, and he is generally at the peak of his career at this age.

In the 40th minute of the game, Klose suddenly felt discomfort in his thigh, and then Van Gaal replaced him with Gomez, but fortunately, after the team doctor's diagnosis, he was not strict zhòng, and it was good to rest for about a week.

Super Mario had a good chance as soon as he came on the pitch, Schweinsteiger combined with Van Bommel, who crossed diagonally to the Argentine "little prince" Sosa on the left, Sosa crossed after holding O'Shea, Olic grabbed the first point, and the shot was blocked by Kuszczak's legs, just in front of Gomez.

But the final result was almost exactly the same as Berbatov's opening game, in the face of almost empty conditions, Super Mario actually shot wide, and the ball finally hit the post and bounced off the bottom line.

This situation looked at the fans in the stadium for a moment, and even the players on the field looked at each other, shooting the same way, and deflecting the same way, "Oh~~~ Poor boy, Mario is actually the same as a dashing brother, so he can shoot off" Muller covered his face and didn't look at it.

In the end, neither side scored in the first half, and the first half ended with a 0-0 draw, and after the break, players from both sides came on again, but at the moment both sides made personnel changes.

Altentop replaced Baumjohn, Lahm replaced Glitz and the right side of the first half was broken up by Ryan Giggs and Patrice Evra, and the United attack was almost entirely launched on this way, and then replaced Stiller with Pranjic on the left, ready to strengthen the attack on the left.

In addition, Li Feng and Timoshchuk appeared at the same time, replacing Schweinsteiger and Van Bommel, they were okay, facing Fletcher and Scholes were not lagging behind, but the two wings were too poor, Schweinsteiger and Van Bommel were not strong in their ability to break through, so they were replaced with Li Feng with better breakthrough ability, and also replaced with Timoshchuk, who had stronger defensive ability.

Ferguson replaced Berbatov and Owen with Wayne Rooney and Welbeck, Ryan Giggs and Scholes with Valencia and Park Ji-sung, and Carrick for Fletcher, so that Nani came to the left where he was good at, Valencia went to the right, Park Ji-sung and Carrick in the middle, and the back line remained unchanged.

With the referee's whistle, the final 45 minutes of the Audi Cup officially began.
