The air at Old Trafford Stadium was filled with a strong smell of smoke, which was so depressing that it was suffocating.

The more you play the game to the end, the more stalemate the scene becomes and the more tense the atmosphere becomes.

On the court, except for Sergio and Roberto who were on the bench, the remaining twenty players had almost no physical fitness left.

Everyone is supported by a tenacious willpower.

Many fans find it difficult to understand what is the test of a competition?

That is when there is a game, even if you have tried your best, you are still gritting your teeth and frantically squeezing the little bits of potential hidden in your body cells, forcing yourself to continue working hard...

For the victory that is close but far away...

This is the test of the competition!

Everyone who has passed this desperate test can benefit from the competition or even make breakthroughs.

Compared with AC Milan, everyone in Atletico Madrid has experienced such a test for the first time, with good and bad performances, but everyone is doing their best.

But if the players on the court can still rely on their physical instinct and will to fight after being exhausted, then as the team's head coach, they must always be awake.

At this time, he is the only person the team can rely on!

Gao Han was still wearing his iconic suit, standing on the edge of the white line in the command area, looking silently ahead.

At this moment, everyone in the audience was waiting for him, and fans all over the world were watching him.

what to do?

“It’s very difficult to deal with!”

Aragonese shook his head hard, frowning, obviously even he himself felt a headache.

"Acc Milan is now clearly stubbornly to the end. Even if it is three to three, they will drag into overtime or even penalty shootouts, they still have an advantage, so Ancelotti will not take risks easily."

"That's right." Heinx sighed, "I really entered the overtime and penalty shootout. Atletico Madrid's chances of winning are not as good as AC Milan. It's better to just give it a try."

After hearing this, Ferguson shook his head and smiled, "We are not afraid of big things when we watch the fun. I know best. When it comes to this, it is difficult for even a person with a stalwart to make such a decision. Everyone in the team, everyone in the club, and so many fans around the world have been waiting for a year, and they are all pressing on you..."

“…Who dares to take risks?”

Faced with Ferguson's rhetoric, Aragonese and Heinx were both silent.

Even they may not have such courage, let alone Gao Han, who is only twenty-seven years old.

"The current situation is, how to change people?"

Aragones tried to analyze the situation, "Kaka's physical fitness was basically exhausted. He was too hard in the second half, but without him, AC Milan's middle lane would be much easier. He is a strategic player."

Ferguson and Heinx neither deny this.

Even if Kaka can't run, as long as he continues to stand on the court, AC Milan will not dare to relax his defense. Pirlo, Gattuso, Ambrose and others will have to be cautious at all times.

"The middle lane cannot be opened, Cristiano Ronaldo can play a role in the upper lane." Heinquez suggested.

He also admired this Portuguese very much. Under the guidance of the high cold, he performed quite well and steadily improved.

But soon, the German frowned and shook his head, "Who will replace?"

This is also a big problem.

As the game goes on, every player on the court is crucial. Whoever is replaced may change the situation on the court.

It may even affect the whole body, which will lead to the team's collapse.

This is also why Ancelotti dared not switch to Gattuso and Ambrosini.

The two midfielders performed poorly, which everyone can see, but it just was not good, which does not mean that they were not playing a role and were not working hard to play.

But if they are replaced and others can they still maintain the balance in the midfield?

The same is true for Atletico Madrid now.

After Ancelotti kicked the ball over, Gao Han's decision will change the situation on the field, affect fans around the world, and determine the ownership of the interests of hundreds of millions of euros.

The three famous coaches felt unsolvable when facing the problem of whom they replaced, so they could only remain silent.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the players on the field were no longer alive, and seemed to be struggling to support them.

But everyone can see that Atletico Madrid is still very enterprising.

This can be seen from their passing balls to the frontcourt again and again in the middle and backcourt.

At this moment, everyone saw Gao Han suddenly walked back to the coach's seat.

In an instant, the audience was in an uproar.

Is he going to give up?

…………

…………

"How much time is left?"

Gao Han walked into the coaching area and asked Sergio Garcia in a scattered manner.

"There are twelve minutes left, and the stoppage time is probably two or three minutes."

Well, there are about fifteen minutes left.

The row of assistants in the coach's seat were all staring at Gao Han, waiting for him to make a decision.

Gao Han didn't care about them, and turned to look at the bench behind him and gritted his teeth.

"Kico, Cristiano, come here."

Both players were surprised, and Kiko was the first to stand up, while Cristiano Ronaldo was still stunned in the chair, until Simeone and Guardiola next to him pushed him hard, and he woke up.

"Hurry up." Gao Han urged.

The two walked quickly to him.

"Boy, how old are you?" Gao Han asked Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese young man was a little surprised. How old am I? You don’t know yet?

"Eighteenth, a birthday in February."

Gao Han patted his shoulder hard, "Pelle was seventeen years old to represent the Brazilian national team in the World Cup, and made a big splash, and you are eighteen years old, a year later than him."

Cristiano Ronaldo can't believe his ears, and the head coach actually compared him with Bailey?

That's Bailey, the greatest star of all time.

"Do you know? From the first sight of you, I can conclude that you will become a professional player and will definitely become the best, and even achieve great stars who may not lose to Pele. I have never doubted my eyes and judgment."

The Portuguese young man was completely stunned and was stunned.

If any other head coach had told him this, he would have sneered and even scolded the other party.

But he can't do it for Gao Han.

Because Gao Han brought him to Atletico Madrid, Gao Han cultivated him with his own hands, allowing him to gain a place in La Liga, and Gao Han made him famous.

Gao Han is the person he respects the most in his life besides his family.

"I need you to do me a favor now."

"You said." Cristiano Ronaldo nodded vigorously.

"I know you like to drive the ball and are also good at driving the ball. I want you to play on the court. In the next fifteen minutes, can you break through the opponent's defense line in the way you are best at?"

Cristiano Ronaldo said without hesitation: "Yes."

"Remember, don't care what the game is, don't care who the opponent is, what you have to do is very simple..."

Cristiano Ronaldo kept nodding and listening to the coach's instructions.

"...I'll have someone pass the ball to you. If you break through, then pass the ball out, or if you have the chance, you can just get on your own. This is very simple, right?"

"Yeah." Cristiano Ronaldo understood.

This is indeed very simple, and it is what he is best at.

"Kike." Gao Han turned to Kike.

"I'm listening, boss."

"You're still playing as a center and pull Nesta and Martini out as much as possible. They're too dominant in the penalty area."

Kiko is also very clear about his tasks, which is what he has always been best at.

"Remember, in the last fifteen minutes, I want you to suppress them and continue attacking!" Gao Han said loudly.

Kiko and Cristiano Ronaldo both had their eyes red and nodded vigorously.
