Chapter 284 Wu Lei Creates a Brand New History?

"The goal has been scored! The Hamburg team has scored!"

"Through a beautiful two-for-one cooperation in the penalty area, Wu Lei scored a beautiful push!"

"Now the score is 1:2, and the Hamburg team stubbornly pulled back a goal."

"The Hamburg fans at the scene are very excited now! They have been singing non-stop since the end of the first half, which obviously gave strength to the players on the field. Now, the Hamburg players can finally respond to the encouragement of the fans with a goal Already!"

"It is worth mentioning that after Wu Lei started this game and made the history of Long Guo football, this goal once again made his name in history!"

"This time it's not just the football history of Longguo! He wrote his name into the history of Asian football! Because he is the first Asian player in history to score in the Champions League final!"

"In the Champions League finals in 2009 and 2011, South Korean star Park Ji-sung started for Manchester United. Although he failed to score, he became the only Asian player who could play in the Champions League final before today. player."

"At the same time, Park Ji-sung won the Champions League with Manchester United in 2008, which makes him the only Asian player to win the Champions League so far, but he did not play in the final that year."

"So, today, Wu Lei, the young general of our Dragon Kingdom, can create a brand new history?"

"Can he become the first Asian player to play in a Champions League final, score and win it?"

"If you said this at the end of the halftime, maybe everyone would still have doubts. But now it seems that after the second half, Hamburg has regained their former calmness and rationality. They played very well. This goal is proof of that."

"On the contrary, Real Madrid played passively and conservatively under the suppression of Hamburg's rekindled fighting spirit, which also gave the Hamburg team an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"For such a change, Director Zhang Lu was aware of it at the beginning of the second half. I don't know if he has any new insights now?"

After Zhan Jun's explanation, Zhang Lu also took over the topic:

"hey-hey."

"As I said just now, judging from the situation at the beginning of the second half, Hamburg has obviously strengthened its offense. Both the midfield line and the full-back line have pressed up a lot."

"And through this goal, we can also see that Hamburg has also strengthened the pressure on Modric, the current Real Madrid midfielder. Keep hitting."

"On the line of attack, it is obvious that the line defended by Real Madrid's right-back Nacho is the focus of Hamburg's attack in the second half. Several passes have been passed to Wu Lei."

"From these changes, it can be seen that coach Pan Yi fine-tuned Hamburg's 4-3-3 tactics during the intermission. While being more aggressive, he also deliberately created his own strong offensive side. It's very effective!"

"Actually, Wu Lei's volley shot shortly after the start of the second half had already sounded the alarm for Real Madrid's defense. It's a pity that Wu Lei acted too hastily and failed to hold the ball down."

"But then Wu Lei should have been reminded by coach Pan Yi to play less impatiently. Just like this goal, after he took the ball, he first observed the running position of his teammates, and then chose the most reasonable one. What to do, pass the ball to Vardy."

"After two years of running-in, these players in the Hamburg striker have a tacit understanding. Vardy and Wu Lei's passing and running are very reasonable. When Wu Lei gets the ball again, it is already a chance to face the goalkeeper. Then, the goal That’s how it came to fruition.”

"Speaking of Wu Lei, this guy is really good. He is fast and intelligent. I noticed him when he was playing football in China before, but he was too edgy at that time, he didn't handle the ball reasonably, and his shooting skills were poor. .”

"But in the past two years, he has made great progress! Coach Pan Yi is really good at training young people! If our Longguo football team is such an excellent coach, why not make it to the World Cup! "

Zhan Jun: "Haha! Director Zhang Lu really cares about Longguo football all the time."

"But before that, we still hope that coach Pan Yi can work with Wu Lei to help Hamburg win a Champions League title first!"

"As I said just now, Park Ji-sung is the only Asian who has won the Champions League so far. In fact, even if the scope is extended to the European Championship, there are not many Asian players."

"The earliest ones were the UEFA Cup champions in 1980 and 1988. At that time, South Korean star Cha Bum-geun won the championships in Frankfurt and Leverkusen respectively. Cha Bum-geun also contributed an absolute goal in the final."

"Then Shinji Ono, the Japanese star in 2002, who played for Feyenoord in the Netherlands for four years and helped them win the UEFA Cup final against Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund."

"Finally, in 2008, the Russian team Zenit St. Petersburg won the UEFA Cup. At that time, there were two Korean players in the team, Kim Dong-jin and Lee Ho."

"It can be seen that these Asian players who have won the European Championship are all Japanese and Korean players. And if Hamburg can win the championship today, then Wu Lei's achievements will surpass all of them!"

"Even if there are Korean Sun Xingmin and Japanese Hasebe Makoto in the Hamburg team, it is the same, because they haven't got the chance to play, so it is impossible to score goals for the time being."

"Of course, Hamburg has not yet won the championship, and they are even one goal behind. This is also a real critical moment!"

"Can Hamburg rely on the breath brought by this goal to come out one by one?"

"In fact, sometimes, if you can't make good use of this energy, once you are resolved by your opponent or discouraged by yourself, then the momentum of reversal will stop."

"So, the period after the goal is the most critical. If Real Madrid stabilizes the situation and prevents Hamburg from getting another chance for a long time, the momentum of the Hamburg players after all the hard work may be lost. It will fade away."

"It depends on what further adjustments Coach Pan Yi will make!"
-
On the field, the Hamburg players simply celebrated and returned to their own half to prepare for the kick-off.

After all, we are still one goal behind!
After standing in their positions, the Hamburg players were also shouting and cheering each other.

Including the Hamburg coaching staff and substitute players also stood on the sidelines and yelled at the sidelines, reminding them.

They just want to maintain this morale and fighting spirit!

"Keep kicking like this! They're panicking! Hurry up!" Pan Yi once again rushed out of the coach's command area, and the fourth referee failed to stop him again.

But the referee stopped him from moving forward.

He quickly ran towards the sidelines and raised a yellow card directly towards Pan Yi.

All of a sudden, boos and cheers rang out throughout the Stadium of Light.

Needless to say, it was the Hamburg fans who booed and the Real Madrid fans who cheered.

But Pan Yi's voice was very loud just now, not only the Hamburg players nodded to express acceptance, but even the Real Madrid players heard it.

"Guys, we have to hold on, hold the ball and slow down the tempo a bit." Modric said to his teammates, "Don't let them charge up."

But at this time, a trace of uneasiness did appear on the faces of many Real Madrid players.

This is the contrast between the early celebration during the halftime break and the current score after the score has been pulled back by one, causing a psychological gap.

When the script of the game is not developing in the direction they imagined, the players will always whisper in their hearts:
No way, it won't really be equalized, right?
What's going on, why did they suddenly change teams in the second half?

Can we still score?
Can we still hold on to a one-goal lead?

What if you really lose? ...

Once you think too much, it becomes obvious how you will perform on the field.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti on the sidelines saw the clues, and immediately issued the latest order:

"Retreat across the board! Defend for a while before talking!"

This is also the wisest choice right now.

Currently leading by one goal, Real Madrid still has the advantage.

As long as this score can be maintained until the end, Real Madrid will still win the Big Ears Cup.

So Real Madrid doesn't really need a goal, nor does it need to rush to attack.

And for a team of Real Madrid's level, defense is offense, and offense is defense.

Rather than fighting recklessly with the high-morale Hamburg at this time, it is better to stabilize the ground.

When Hamburg can't attack for a long time, it will naturally show its flaws again, so that Real Madrid's counterattack opportunity will come again.

As a result, Real Madrid's offensive line, including Ronaldo and Bell, also began to return to the center line to assist Real Madrid's midfield to defend.

Just in this way, Hamburg's pressure became even more unscrupulous.

The speed of Wu Lei, Vardy and Salah, the Hamburg forward trident, is not even slower than Real Madrid's BBC. Their unscrupulous physical strength in the frontcourt also makes it difficult for Real Madrid to pass the ball in the backcourt.

Whether it is Ramos or Varane, they often stop the ball just after the opponent comes over and have to pass it out again.

And sometimes even before the ball reaches the feet, the Hamburg striker has already pushed in front of him, which caused the pass error rate of Real Madrid's backcourt to rise sharply.

Especially the pass to the middle of the midfield!
After such a high-tempo press lasted for nearly 10 minutes, Real Madrid finally couldn't stand it under high pressure.

They made a fatal mistake!

In the 66th minute, Ramos was unable to transfer the ball to both sides under Vardy's pressure, so he pushed the ball forward and passed it to the back midfielder Khedira.

This "brother face" with a big face also has a big heart.

He is very confident in his ball protection, and he is ready to take the ball and turn around to control the ball before thinking about the next step.

However, this time he had just got the ball well, and before he could react, Kanter took aim and grabbed the ball directly and intercepted the ball.

"Get it back quickly!" Ramos, who saw clearly from behind, shouted anxiously.

Because losing the ball at the position of the midfielder is very fatal!

If Kanter takes the ball forward, he will directly face the two central defenders of Real Madrid!
As soon as Ramos' words fell, Khedira, who realized that he might make a big mistake, rushed towards Kanter, wanting to get the ball back immediately.

But at this time, the two midfielders who were also aware of the danger, Modric and Di Maria, also surrounded Kanter at the same time, and blocked the path in front of Kanter.

This is the strength of Real Madrid players.

They can observe the situation on the field in an instant, and defend the most dangerous areas to make up for the mistakes of their teammates.

But the problem is...

They were all too eager to fill their seats, but at that moment, a scene of three people encircling Kanter alone was formed.

And if the ball can be broken immediately, that's all. Once the danger cannot be cleared in time, such a scene also means that in some other parts of the team, the Hamburg players have the numerical advantage!
That is the rib position that these two Real Madrid midfielders should have guarded.

At this time, Casemiro and Paulinho, who already had the premise of the position, quickly inserted into the two ribs at the front of Real Madrid's penalty area, preparing to meet Kanter.

They knew that Kante would be able to find the space on both sides.

Sure enough, when Kanter found himself surrounded by three people, he also saw Casemiro and Paulinho reaching for the ball on both sides. After a very short period of observation, he passed the ball to Case Milo's feet.

Because Casemiro ran on the left, which was the position guarded by Real Madrid right back Nacho, and it was also the main attack direction of the second half that Pan Yi explained!

And there, the left forward Wu Lei has been pressing close to Nacho to prevent the Real Madrid central defender from passing the ball.

It's too late to say.

From when Khedira was intercepted to when Kanter passed the ball to Wu Lei, it took three or four seconds.

So, in just a few seconds, Hamburg formed a two-on-one against some areas of Real Madrid.

Poor Nacho, facing Casemiro who was running towards him with a lead, and Wu Lei who was swaying and running beside him, he didn't know what to do for a while.

But Casemiro is getting closer and closer to the penalty area, and he must make a choice, otherwise this fierce-looking Brazilian will take a shot!

However, Nacho just moved his body a meter or two closer to Casemiro. Casemiro seemed to throw him a look of "I've been waiting for you for a long time" and moved the ball forward. A straight plug.

Wu Lei, who was unguarded, also picked up his speed. His running route coincided with Casemiro's passing route, so he received the ball smoothly and entered the penalty area.

This is called ball to person!
At this moment, only one thought flashed through the experienced Ramos' mind.

"Could it be that this is all Hamburg's routine? They are just waiting to grab Khedira's ball, then lure our midfielder to lose position, and then hit our wing? Otherwise, how could they be so proficient?"

But the situation on the court did not allow him to think more.

Wu Lei had already attacked and he had to defend, so he went up to meet him.

"Wu Lei faced Ramos' defense."

"Ramos is one of the best defenders in the world, Wu Lei must know this very well."

"So he has to make the best choice so that he can live up to the exquisite cooperation presented by the Hamburg teammates this time."

"Will he choose to force Ramos?"

"With Wu Lei's speed, maybe Ramos can really be forced, but now he is very close to the bottom line, and there is not much room for advancement."

"Wu Lei raised his foot! He... didn't shoot!"

"This is a pass! And Vardy in the middle suddenly threw off Varane's defense and rushed to the front point..."

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

“Burger has entered another one!”

"Two to two! Hamburg chased two goals in just 10 minutes! Now the two sides are back on the same starting line!"

"The first goal was Vardy's shot after passing it to Wu Lei, and this ball was Wu Lei's cross and Vardy grabbed the shot! The two Hamburg forwards completed the pass to each other!"

"We saw that after this shot, Vardy fell into the penalty area. He looked very excited!"

"Wu Lei, who completed the assist, was also very excited. He jumped directly on Vardy, and then a group of Hamburg players also surrounded him. They stacked Arhat!"

"Burger really did it! They really evened it out! It's unbelievable!"

"We don't know exactly what happened at half-time, but I can say with absolute certainty that Hamburg is in a bad situation and Real Madrid are in a bad situation!"
-
After Vardy scored this goal, only the shouts of Hamburg fans could be heard in the entire Stadium of Light.

Just 10 minutes ago they were in the depths of despair;
But 10 minutes later, the goals of Wu Lei and Vardy completely saved them.

A draw!
The shadow that hung over them in the first half has long since disappeared without a trace!

After the cheers, the Hamburg team song in the stands of the Hamburg fans sounded again, and the singing became louder and louder.

They may not know whether such a long singing rekindled the fighting spirit of the Hamburg players, but they have indeed seen and felt the tenacious fighting spirit of the players on the field!
Therefore, they just want to continue to use this way to express their joy and their greatest thanks to the players!

And on the sidelines.

After Vardy scored this goal, Pan Yi also let out a heavy breath: "Huh!"

Now, he seems to have become lighter.

In the Champions League final, his team fell behind by two goals. It would be a lie to say that we are not nervous.

But as the leader of the team, the leader of the locker room, and the totem that everyone relies on, Pan Yi will never let his nervousness affect anyone else.

Perhaps, he wouldn't let anyone see that he was nervous.

He will only force himself to calm down, then analyze where the problems in the team are, and find solutions immediately, whether it is psychological or tactical.

But now, it is clear that Pan Yi's speech and tactical arrangements during the intermission have had an effect.

If the score is equalized, it will be much easier!
"It's finally equalized, and the situation is starting to favor us." Nagelsman on the side finally smiled.

From the time when Hamburg fell behind in the first half until Vardy equalized the score, Nagelsmann kept frowning and couldn't smile at all.

Now, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief!
Because everyone knows that from 2:0 to 2:2, Hamburg's two goals just now are a blow to Real Madrid's self-confidence, and it is also a boost to the morale and fighting spirit of the team.

It's still a tie now, which means the game is 0:0, everyone is the same?
nonexistent.

Leading first and then being equalized, and falling behind first and then equalizing the opponent, the score looks the same, but the change in mentality is completely different.

Nagelsmann certainly knew this.

Inzaghi also nodded and said: "The boys' spirits are up. Real Madrid players now feel like we did in the second half of the first half... I believe that if Real Madrid did not make any effective adjustments, we would definitely. Goal again!"

Speaking of this, the three coaches all looked at Ancelotti on the other side of the court.

At this time, An Pang was indeed very anxious.

He kept yelling at the players, asking them to calm down.

And the focus of the fourth referee is Ancelotti. He asked him to calm down a few times and stop stepping outside the line...

"At present, the Real Madrid players seem to be a little confused, standing on the field and not knowing what to do."

"The current Real Madrid looks like a sailing ship sailing on the Pacific Ocean. It encountered a tornado and completely lost its way."

"So, as the head coach, Ancelotti must find an effective solution as soon as possible to temporarily stop the team's decline!"

"Oh, we saw that shortly after Ancelotti was persuaded by the fourth referee to return to the coaching bench, Real Madrid made a substitution soon."

"This is the first substitution of the game. Ancelotti replaced Khedira, who was not performing well, with Isco."

"The goal lost just now was due to Khedira's attack after a careless ball protection at the midfielder position was intercepted. Now that An Shuai has replaced him, it should also express his dissatisfaction with his performance."

"However, although Khedira is slightly inferior technically, he still contributes defensively. Now Ancelotti has replaced Isco, who has stronger offensive capabilities, and wants to give Hamburg a go. ?"

"The score is still a tie now! Isn't Real Madrid going to play their best defensive counterattack? Is it because Ancelotti did this because he was pulled twice in a row and was a bit over the top?"
-
Pan Yi was slightly surprised by this adjustment of Real Madrid, but he could probably guess Ancelotti's intentions.

As for whether to attack or defend after being equalized, in fact, it still depends on the head coach's judgment on the situation on the court to make the final. It is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.

Perhaps Ancelotti believes that it is very dangerous to be beaten by Hamburg under the current situation. It is very likely that he will concede another goal like the previous two goals, or even more.

Instead of this, it is better to replace a defensive player with poor performance and replace it with a new force with stronger offensive attributes to change the current stagnant situation of Real Madrid.

Keeping on guard when morale is low will only make the players even more depressed and less confident in themselves!
And once the offensive can be launched, it is possible to increase the momentum and everyone's enthusiasm will burn!
Although this is the highest hall of professional football, it is not much different from playing wild football in spirit.

Everyone is always very enthusiastic when attacking and scoring goals. This is engraved in the DNA and no one can change it.

Otherwise why do most kids start playing as forwards?It's only after the competition, unsuitability, and lack of talent later that it will gradually change to other positions.

Casemiro in Hamburg is an example.

When he went to the trial training, he heard that the number of forwards reported was N times that of defensive midfielders. He panicked, changed his words quickly, and temporarily signed up as a defensive midfielder.

Since then, world football has lost a second-rate striker and gained a world-class midfielder.

Say far, back to the field.

At this time, after Isco came on the field, he, Modric and Di Maria formed a three midfielders in parallel positions, trying to compete with Hamburg for control of the midfield.

Compared with Khedira, his strength and speed are not outstanding, and his defensive ability is average, but he has a strong sense of teamwork.

In addition, his feet are very delicate, his passing is accurate, and he can always send exquisite passes to pass through the opponent's defense.

At the same time, his center of gravity is relatively low, coupled with his agile steps, so he is also very good at dribbling.

In terms of these technical indicators, Modric and Di Maria are not inferior at all.

This is equivalent to Real Madrid placing three technical midfielders in the middle, competing with Kanter + Paulinho + Casemiro, of course they will not be at a disadvantage.

As a result, the game quickly became somewhat stalemate.

In this stalemate, the 22 players on both sides were constantly consuming each other's physical energy.

"After Hamburg equalized, Ancelotti seemed to stabilize Real Madrid's decline through a substitution."

"And with such a draw, Hamburg's offense has become less risky and aggressive."

"In the last 20 minutes, what kind of changes will the coaches of the two sides make?"

"Their choices next will likely directly affect the outcome of the game!"

"But so far, there is only one substitution by Real Madrid, and there is no movement on Pan Yi's side."

"Of course, such caution is understandable. After all, this is the Champions League final! The most important game of the year in European professional football."

"Let's not talk about the Champions League. In fact, any final is very difficult to play. No one wants to make mistakes easily when they are only one step away from the trophy..."
