Chapter 281 A master's move, the opportunity is fleeting!
With the whistle of the referee and the thunderous roar of the fans, the much-anticipated 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final officially kicked off!
Hamburg kicks off first.

Wu Lei kicked the ball to Vardy, who then passed the ball to the backcourt.

Van Dijk was not in a hurry after taking the ball, and passed it to Rudiger on the side.

Seeing that Real Madrid forwards Bell and Benzema had quickly pressed up, Rudiger transferred the ball to Carvajal on the right.

Before Ronaldo jumped in front of him, Carvajal quickly passed the ball forward along the sideline to Casemiro who ran to the side to meet him.

Just through such a few back and forth back and forth passes, Real Madrid's frontcourt pressure at the beginning of the game was resolved.

Pan Yi sat firmly on the coach's bench and nodded slightly.

This is exactly what he wants to see.

Even on such an important occasion as the Champions League final, Hamburg players must stabilize their mentality and play according to the rhythm of an ordinary game.

As long as we follow Pan Yi's idea of ​​"offensive and defensive balance" before the game, first prevent Real Madrid's opening rush, and then patiently look for opportunities, this game can still be won.

At this time on the field, the ball has reached Kanter's feet.

He launched an attack with the ball, and then found a gap between the positions of several Real Madrid midfielders, so he took the ball to the front of the penalty area.

There, Vardy was ready to drop back to get the ball.

However, Ramos' reaction speed is also very fast.

Just when Vardy had just retreated to his position and was about to stretch his feet to stop the ball, Ramos had already rushed in front of him, got stuck directly in front of Vardy, intercepted the ball, and made a clearance.

Hamburg's first attack failed, not even being able to enter Real Madrid's penalty area.

After the siege, the ball still fell at the feet of the Hamburg players, but there was still no good chance for a second attack.

Because Real Madrid's defense was well organized in just a few seconds, Ramos and Varane had already stood in their positions, and Marcelo and Nacho on both sides were waiting for Hamburg to pass the ball.

At the same time, Real Madrid's trident also continued their aggressive pressing, making it impossible for the Hamburg players to organize their own offense calmly.

So Hamburg can only continue to pass the ball back, patiently looking for the next space.

About 30 seconds later, Hamburg shifted the ball to the left, and Robertson made a sudden back thrust to find a chance to cross.

But this time it was Varane who got in between Salah and put the ball in the penalty area with a powerful header, once again defusing Hamburg's offensive.

"These two central defenders of Real Madrid are really strong!"

On the coaching bench in Hamburg, Nargelsmann couldn't help but praise.

"I have played against them on the court, and they are indeed very powerful and stable." Inzaghi also agrees very much.

Sergio Ramos joined Real Madrid as early as 2005 with a transfer fee of 2700 million euros. Although there were embarrassing moments played by Ronaldinho, he has gradually grown into a World class star.

He has also become the most reliable backbone of Real Madrid's defense in the past ten years.

He has a lot of speed, which allows him to go forward quickly and get back on defense quickly.

He has excellent physical fitness and strong explosive power, which gives him an advantage in defense and can always make accurate steals and interceptions at critical moments.

Although the fierce tackler Ramos often caused fouls, he also interrupted the opponent's offense many times. In this regard, he can scare many forwards.

Of course, when everyone mentions Ramos, they will talk about his good defensive ability, but what makes people talk about it more is his offensive ability.

Born as a right-back, he has a strong desire to attack. After turning into a central defender, he can often score with a header from a set kick. He is one of the best defenders in La Liga who are good at scoring headers.

He was later the defender with the most goals in the history of La Liga!

And he has a big heart, often when the team is in crisis, he can always step in and save the team from fire and water.

How should I put it, as a central defender, he seems to be doing both the work of a defender and a striker...

When he was in the national team, Ramos was also a well-deserved figure at the big brother level.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the Spanish team won the championship. As the main central defender of the team, Ramos also won the World Cup data scoring king with 9.79 points, which proves how good he played in the World Cup.

He will also be the holder of Spain's appearance record. Of course, what is even more exaggerated is that, as a central defender, he can also rank among the top ten scorers in the history of the national team...

There is no doubt that Ramos is strong, and the strength of another central defender standing next to him today cannot be underestimated.

Although Ramos' old partner monk Pepe did not start today, Varane, who replaced him, is only 21 years old but has been famous for a long time.

Varane can be regarded as a representative of youth and maturity. At the age of 17, Varane was promoted to the first team of Lens. At the age of 18, he was bought by Real Madrid for 1000 million euros. The youngest foreign player to score a goal.

His nickname is "Xueba", which originated from when Varane played for Lens. Once he received a call from Zinedine Zidane, the then Real Madrid youth team coach, who invited him to Real Madrid, but Varane Lane cites her need to study for exams...

Hang up.

Hang up the call from Real Madrid!

Hang up on the call from French legend Zinedine Zidane!
Of course, among professional players, Varane can indeed be regarded as a top student. He had excellent grades in high school, and his grades were among the top in his class.

Not only that, Varane is also proficient in French, German, English, and Spanish.

On the court, Varane is also a perfect central defender, he has a good overall view on the court.

The height of 1.91 meters gives him a clear advantage in the air, both in defense and offense, and in defense, many of Varane's fierce tackles are done with his long legs, which is an innate body The advantages brought by the conditions.

Varane's frontal interception is extremely strong, and in many cases he can rely on his own speed and awareness to complete the defense.

He also does not have the disadvantage of slow turning speed of traditional defenders. His running ability is extremely strong, and he can make good use of his speed advantage with long legs and big steps.

Although Varane is sometimes dragged out of the penalty area by offensive players, he is extremely fast and can return to defense very well.

Varane is also a modern center back who can pass the ball with skillful technique after a successful steal.

Compared with Sergio Ramos and Pepe who are accustomed to long passes from the backcourt, many of Varane's long passes are on the ground.

His deep ball stability is even better than some defensive midfielders, so sometimes he will use his own pass to create more surprises on the offensive end.

His many advantages also allowed him to secure his main position in the star-studded French national team at a young age, and he will participate in the upcoming 2014 World Cup in Brazil with the team.

So, Real Madrid's central defender combination is really super strong!

All are all-around central defenders with speed, body, height, steals, and offensive ability!
Moreover, the two of them cooperated with the entire defense line very well. They did a very good job of attacking and protecting, running and responding.

Hamburg's offense seemed a bit powerless in the face of such a defense.

In the 10th minute, Hamburg midfielder Casemiro directly launched a long-distance long pass from the backcourt to the left.

Wu Lei dribbled the ball along the left line and forcibly passed Nacho, and passed the ball across the bottom of the penalty area to the middle of the penalty area, trying to find Vardy.

Vardy's running position is already extremely agile. He first retreated to lure Ramos to follow him out of the small penalty area, and then suddenly advanced to the front point, ready to grab a shot.

But another central defender Varane saw through Vardy's attempt.

After Varane suppressed Vardy with his body and restricted his running position, the Frenchman relied on his precise judgment of the ball path to destroy the ball first.

Hamburg's attack failed again.

For this excellent defense, Real Madrid fans also gave warm applause.

Of course, Real Madrid fans understand the ball. They will not only applaud the wonderful offense, but also cheer for the beautiful defense of the players of this team!
And Hamburg is not discouraged.

They took advantage of their passing and possession of the ball, gradually mastered the possession of the game, and patiently organized an offensive towards Real Madrid.

This is actually the scene that Pan Yi and many media expected before the game.

Ancelotti's team is still accustomed to playing their best defensive counterattack!
Hamburg has dealt with more anti-reverse teams in the league and the Champions League, and it stands to reason that it is nothing.

But the problem is...

It's not scary for your opponent to play counter-defense, but what's scary is that the opponent who plays counter-defense is Real Madrid!
A team full of superstars can put down their body to fight against you, just ask if you are afraid!
Ordinary teams are often limited by the team's strength when playing defense and counterattack. They often defend but fail to defend completely, and they waste opportunities when attacking.

But Real Madrid rarely have such problems.

When defending, they have world-class stars such as Ramos and Varane in the backcourt. When counterattacking, Modric or Di Maria can create a murderous through ball, not to mention Bale and Benzema in the frontcourt. The all-conquering BBC combination formed with Ronaldo.

It is not uncommon in Real Madrid's games to send the ball into the opponent's goal within seconds of stealing the ball.

So at this time, the "offensive and defensive balance" that Pan Yi has always emphasized is very important.

It is true that troops must be invested in the offense, but it is also necessary to ensure that there are enough personnel in the midfield to prevent Real Madrid's sudden attack.

There is no big problem if the offense is temporarily blocked. After all, Pan Yi and the coaching staff have long been mentally prepared for the difficulty of this game.

Including the players, Pan Yi has repeatedly emphasized the difficulty of the opponent, and has always warned the players to be patient and patient, and must not be careless or anxious.

"Today's game looks a bit dull." The commentator Zhan Jun said, "Real Madrid still put on a counterattack posture when facing Hamburg, and Hamburg is obviously afraid of Real Madrid's strength. Let go and attack with all your strength, so on the scene..."

"Hey, I don't think so." Zhang Lu took over the conversation, "This game has a very high technical and tactical level."

Zhan Jun: "Oh? Director Zhang explained it to you in detail."

Zhang Lu: "Real Madrid defends the center and leads the attack, while Hamburg plays the attack and leads the defense, but both sides have played a very high level. Whether it is the ability to pass and cut the ball to find space, or the tightness of the defense organization, it is really important. It’s the best in the world today.”

"Although it is said that the two teams have not scored a goal and have not created too good scoring opportunities, in fact, both sides are secretly competing and waiting for their opponents to make mistakes."

"At this time, it is to see which master can first discover the fatal weakness of the opponent, and then deal a heavy blow..."

Zhan Jun: "So what does Director Zhang think are the weaknesses of both parties?"

Zhang Lu: "After all, I am not the coach of both sides, so I can only make some guesses from the sidelines."

"Actually, the lineups of both sides are very complete today, and the weaknesses are not obvious. But if you insist, you can still find some, and the two teams are a bit similar!"

"First of all, from Real Madrid's side, I think the absence of Harvey Alonso still has a little impact."

"As a sweeping midfielder, Khedira has the advantage of covering a large area. He can be used in offense and defense."

"But his lateral coverage is insufficient, he prefers to run vertically, and his kick is still rough compared to Alonso."

"Real Madrid still relies on Alonso for the scheduling and control of the midfield. Without him, Real Madrid's efficiency in counterattacks will be affected to a certain extent."

"On the other hand, after De Bruyne missed today's game due to injury, Hamburg used Paulinho to fill his position."

"Similar to Real Madrid, Paulinho can enhance Hamburg's defense, but his offensive creativity is still slightly insufficient. This makes it difficult for Hamburg to initiate the offense by finding the striker through accurate long passes from the backcourt."

"So the midfielders have to look for more offensive opportunities by running more actively and pressing forward. Once they press forward, the space in the backcourt will become larger, which creates opportunities for Real Madrid's counterattack."

"Of course, this kind of weakness is negligible in many teams' duels, and it is almost not worth mentioning. But today's opponents are Real Madrid and Hamburg, with the two masters Ancelotti and Pan Yi, it may be It's different."

"It's a bit like two kung fu masters fighting each other. It seems to be calm, but undercurrents are surging. The movements of hands and feet seem to be ordinary, but they all seem to be deadly moves."

"Now it's time to see who can seize the fleeting moment and make that fatal move..."
-
On the field.

The pressing of Hamburg players in the frontcourt is still very active.

Especially left forward Wu Lei.

He started the game in such an important Champions League final today. If he said that he was not excited or excited, it would be a lie.

And this kind of excitement and excitement, transformed into the performance on the court, is that every ball must be contested and every ball must be grabbed!

Such activism is clearly paying off.

In the 25th minute, Real Madrid's right-back Nacho made a mistake under Wu Lei's pressure. After passing the ball to the midfield, he was cut off by Kanter.

After Kanter steals the ball, he forms a counterattack on the spot and quickly distributes the ball to the right.

At this time, the right back Carvajal has also quickly plugged in, and directly passed the ball to the penalty area at a 45-degree angle without stopping.

At this time, Wu Lei has also quickly cut in from the left rib, catching the ball in front of the goal and rushing to the top!

The ball flew to the goal at an extremely fast speed!
But at this critical moment, Casillas made an incredible save.

He flew up and blocked Wu Lei's header from close at hand, and the ball flew out of the baseline.

This time, the extremely beautiful defense made all the Real Madrid fans cheer in unison.

"Saint Cassie!"

"Saint Cassie!"

"Saint Cassie!"

Such voices also kept echoing in the Stadium of Light.

Casillas, who is 33 years old this year, is still the most reliable patron saint in front of Real Madrid!

The save this time reflects his swift reaction speed and super explosive power. His save action is very beautiful, stretching and vigorous like a cheetah!
Correspondingly, it is the annoyance of Hamburg.

When Wu Lei's shot was saved, the Hamburg fans in the stands let out an exclamation of "Oh", and then hugged their heads in the same style.

Some fans kept watching the slow-motion replay of the shot, as if they didn't believe their eyes at all, and wanted to confirm whether the goal was really missed.

And even more so on the pitch.

Wu Lei knelt in the penalty area, holding his head in his hands, with an expression of disbelief.

Inzaghi on the sidelines was about to rush into the field to celebrate his goal, but he had to stop the car temporarily and kept patting his thigh: "Oh, this ball can be saved? What a pity!"

Nagelsmann also shook his head again and again: "Yes, Wu Lei's shooting action has reached the extreme. The power and angle of this ball are impeccable. It's too strong, Casillas is really too strong! "

The other players also stared at the goal with wide eyes, looking a little frustrated.

This is the best chance Hamburg has created for this game so far!
But did not enter.

This of course makes them a little depressed.

After all, this is the Champions League final!
If you can score a goal first, how much psychological advantage can you have!
It’s not just about psychological advantages, either.

It is also a huge tactical advantage to be ahead when facing a team that plays a defensive counterattack!

Because this will force the opponent to press out and fight, which can break their originally set tactical system, thus revealing more flaws.

This has been practiced many times in Hamburg's games this season.

But the problem is, the goal was not scored!
"Okay, let me concentrate! If the goal is not scored, it is not scored. Put your attention back to the game and strive for the next chance to shoot!"

The Hamburg players on the field immediately heard Pan Yi's shout from the sidelines.

They just woke up like a dream and started to return to the game.

Since Casillas blocked the ball out of the bottom line just now, it was a corner kick from Hamburg, and they still have a chance to attack.

The corner kick was on the right, and Salah also quickly ran to the corner flag area, preparing to take the corner kick.

Several high points in Hamburg, such as Van Dijk, Rudiger, including Paulinho, have rushed to Real Madrid's penalty area, ready to compete for the corner kick.

Of course, Real Madrid is also ready to fight. Everyone is watching the players of Hamburg, and the penalty area is suddenly in chaos.

At this moment, Salah took an inspinning corner kick with his left foot.

This ball is going to Van Dijk's position, after all, he is the most guaranteed header attack point in Hamburg now!
However, just when the corner seemed about to be headed by Van Dijk, Varane appeared in front of the Dutchman.

He accurately judged the first landing point, grabbed the position before everyone else, and headed the ball to clear.

The ball did not fly far and landed on the right outside the penalty area, in front of Modric.

In corner kick defense, Modric, who is slightly thin, does not have an advantage, so he is often placed on the outside as a response.

And now, he's got the ball.

Moreover, this keen Croatian quickly discovered the striker teammates who were running forward frantically, so he made a decision in just 0.1 seconds.

He made a right outside pass of about 20 meters that was close to the ground, and accurately found Ronaldo who had already run near the center line.

All the Hamburg fans in the audience suddenly exclaimed, while the Real Madrid fans stood up involuntarily.

Fight back!

This is Real Madrid's long-awaited counterattack!
"Hamburg's corner attack was spoiled and now Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack."

"Modric gave the ball to Ronaldo and now Ronaldo is advancing very quickly along the wing."

"In front of him, there are two Hamburg defenders. One is the right back Carvajal, the other is the left back Robertson."

"However, Real Madrid's other two strikers, Benzema and Bale, are also running at incredible speed!"

"It may be that they all realized that this is a rare opportunity for Real Madrid to counterattack, so they all burst out with amazing energy, and the speed is really fast!"

"In just two or three seconds, the three strikers of Real Madrid have all crossed the midfield line and reached the front of Hamburg's penalty area."

"Carvajal has no other choice, he can only grab Ronaldo's ball, otherwise he will directly rush into the penalty area!"

"C Ronaldo made an extraordinary move of stepping on a bicycle, but Carvajal was unmoved and did not hesitate. And Ronaldo's next move was also very fast, he directly chose a cross pass!"

"The ball went directly to the front of the penalty area. Here, another center, Benzema, is already in place!"

"The defender Robertson on the other side of Hamburg rushed to take his position and at the same time tried to block the angle of Benzema's shot."

"But Benzema didn't even make a pause, just gave it a little push to the right."

"Bell, the right winger, has arrived! He didn't have any intention of stopping the ball. He just rushed up and shot with his thigh! Dangerous!"

"Ah, the ball went in!"

"For a shot from this distance, Bale kicked a powerful and heavy bombardment without defense. Hamburg goalkeeper Keylor Navas has nothing to do."

"In the 28th minute, Real Madrid took advantage of a counterattack opportunity, and the BBC team played exquisitely, taking the lead in breaking the goal of Hamburg, [-]-[-]!"

"This goal reflects Real Madrid's skill in counterattack. From Modric's forward pass, to Ronaldo, to Benzema's two lateral passes, and then to Bale's shot, it took only four people. Foot, maybe five or six seconds, the ball has already scored."

"This is what Director Zhang Lu said just now, a master's move can kill you in an instant!"

"So now that Real Madrid have broken the deadlock with a goal, what will Hamburg do?"

"We saw that coach Pan Yi has stood up now, and he walked to the sidelines and kept waving to his players and shouting something."

"We believe that he must have seen the problem on the field."

"We also believe that under the command of coach Pan Yi, the Hamburg players will adjust immediately and continue to play their own football!"
