Hearing this, Cao Baiming understood the situation and smiled slightly, his expression gradually relaxing.
"So you were participating in an event. I thought you were undergoing training outside! As for me, I just returned in a hurry and didn't notice what was happening outside."
After all, today was a great victory. After the disbandment, everyone went to a nearby restaurant they frequented to celebrate their win.
More importantly, it was to celebrate the team winning the league championship!
However, this was merely a celebration among Cao Baiming and a few close friends. The club, of course, would not take this lightly; they had arranged grander activities and ceremonies.
But the Champions League was starting soon. The next match was in just three and a half days, leaving no room for leisurely celebrations.
Winning the league title too many rounds in advance might have this one drawback: the desire to celebrate was present, but they were in the most intense and tightly packed period of the season.
Listening to everyone's conversation, Cao Baiming gradually understood and confirmed his suspicions. The opponent in the next match was indeed Bayern Munich!
This information was of great significance and plunged Cao Baiming into deep thought.
Before entering the time bubble, he hadn't paid much attention to the next opponent. Bayern Munich was a name he had only heard mentioned, with a vague impression.
If he had to quantify his confidence, it might not even reach sixty percent. Bayern Munich appearing in that simulated match might truly represent the future, not just a mere dream!
If this was the case, then wouldn't the tactic of being completely targeted on the field also be something about to happen?
Although he hadn't paid much attention on that simulated field, if it were true, then at this very moment, Bayern Munich's coaching staff would likely be researching this very tactical system!
With seven consecutive wins in the Champions League and a goal difference of twenty, Bayern Munich was undoubtedly a formidable opponent not to be underestimated!
If tactical targeting were added to the mix, the outcome of that match could be devastating!
Although one match wouldn't lead to elimination, it was a home game, and it absolutely could not be lost!
At this moment, Cao Baiming began to regret not diligently finishing the second half of the match in the time bubble, because in the end, they might truly lose!
Thinking of this, Cao Baiming started to feel a bit scared. Could this Champions League journey end here?
Losing to Bayern!?
That was simply unacceptable!
Recalling the profound sense of powerlessness he felt playing on that simulated field, even Cao Baiming now lacked confidence.
His current strength was not enough to completely override the team's tactical system. If they were completely targeted, one person could only do so much!
Bayern was truly strong, so strong!
After a hasty dinner, Cao Baiming began his journey home. At this moment, his mind was focused on one thing: quickly finishing the remaining half of the match!
With the support of his previous experience, he quickly returned to the field. What was happening was a continuation of the first half he had already experienced.
A persistent thought gnawed at Cao Baiming: if the system merely informed him of future possibilities without the ability to change them, what was the point?
If he knew the future, then he should prepare to change it. Perhaps none of this needed to happen!
Bayern was going to employ tactical targeting? Let them study it all they wanted. Now, they could develop a counter-strategy, and when they met on the real field, they could shove something unpleasant down the throats of their coaching staff!
Just thinking about it made him excited. If this could be achieved, what problems couldn't be solved?
At this moment, the referee blew his whistle.
Although Cao Baiming's thoughts were still wandering in the heavens, contemplating many things, he immediately snapped back to attention upon hearing the sharp whistle.
Professional players had long developed a deeply ingrained conditioned reflex to such sounds.
In front of him, the Bayern Munich players still looked fierce, but Cao Baiming was not to be outdone. It was currently a draw, and now it was time to perform!
However, as the second half progressed, the situation became even more dire.
Cao Baiming gradually realized that despite his best efforts, his teammates' psychological defenses had been completely shattered!
Finally, with a crucial scoring chance from a supreme treasure, they narrowly managed to equalize. In extra time, they were caught off guard!
Three to two! They lost! Unacceptable!
Thinking this, Cao Baiming decided to try again. It wasn't real anyway, time could be rewound!
This time, with the experience of the previous round, the situation began to improve. The goal conceded in the first half was successfully prevented due to Cao Baiming's proactive defensive efforts!
However, the subsequent counter-attack was also affected. Like a chain reaction of the butterfly effect, there was no change in the score by the end of the first half.
Although he now knew not to easily fall into Bayern Munich's defensive trap, not entering it meant no goals conceded, but it also made scoring very difficult!
What he really needed to think about was what strategy to use to tear through this net!
In the second half, Cao Baiming gradually found his rhythm, and ultimately, they won with a total score of two to one!
Although they won this match, it was far from a beautiful performance. In fact, they were largely pressured throughout the game. Fans might have ripped the players apart for it.
The real key was to thoroughly discuss counter-strategies with the entire team. Only then could a true counter-attack be formed, and the team find its own rhythm.
It was simply not enough for Cao Baiming to carry out the counter-attack alone.
In the remaining time, Cao Baiming continued to conduct several more simulations in the time bubble. The results were largely similar, with wins, losses, and draws.
Although these results showed great instability, he was gradually able to discern a pattern.
In the final simulated attempt, Arsenal emerged victorious with a resounding 3-0 victory!
