Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 185 Do You Guess I Am A Smoke Bomb Or A Killer? [Big guys please subscribe! 】

London is definitely more pleasant in summer than in winter.

There is no cold fog and endless rain in autumn and winter.

Wembley Stadium is indeed a good place for an important final.

And the football atmosphere in England is very strong.

Li Ang has seen many enthusiastic fans in London these days.

On the day of the Champions League final, Li Ang and the others finished their last practice in the morning and were on their way back to the hotel.

I saw a number of local Real Madrid fans in London holding up banners to express their support.

In the evening, players from Real Madrid and Bayern took buses and arrived at Wembley Stadium ahead of schedule.

The fans on the scene, who were already fully seated and clearly divided, immediately made the players of the two teams feel the familiarity and intimacy of the game.

Of course, playing in Wembley, a huge stadium comparable to the Nou Camp, the feeling of the players on both sides is naturally very different from the usual league and Champions League contests.

Li Ang is not European, so he is not as excited about playing at Wembley as his teammates.

After he looked around and felt the vastness of Wembley Stadium and the large number of seats, there was only one most direct feeling.

big enough!

Immediately, an inexplicable thought came to his mind:

"If I can score a goal in this stadium today, what kind of celebration should I use to get the attention of the audience?"

After this inexplicable thought flashed by, Li Ang also shook his head with a laugh, feeling that he was still a little swollen recently.

Although I also scored a goal in the final stage of the Champions League last year, this year's opponent is really difficult to play.

Don't talk about scoring tonight, Li Ang feels that he will be more satisfied if he can score an assist by then.

After a little imagination, Li Ang calmed down and devoted himself to the pre-match warm-up with his teammates.

The starting 11 player lists of the two teams are basically released at this time.

And the media, who didn't believe the words of the head coaches of the two teams at all before, became proud now.

Benzema and Xabi Alonso looked very good warming up on the sidelines, and Robben didn't look like he was injured at all.

Of course, the three of them were also selected for the starting list of the two teams.

However, unexpected starting situations are not without exception.

For example, on Real Madrid's side, Modric's starting position was replaced by Matuidi.

On the Bayern Munich side, Thomas Muller's starting lineup was also replaced by Arjen Robben, who had played as a substitute in the previous two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals.

Such a change has caught many media and fans by surprise.

Obviously, both teams have made sufficient tactical plans before the game

As for the fine-tuning of the starters, the preferred style of play of the two head coaches is also reflected first.

After Matuidi replaced Modric in the starting lineup, the double central midfielder composed of him and Li Ang will definitely have a better performance in the interception and defense of the center line.

In the first two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals, Robben, who played as a substitute, got the chance to start today.

Then Heynckes' tactical play is not difficult to guess.

Bayern's tactics of flying on both wings and combining side and center will be the first to make an effort, while Real Madrid will make a fuss about midfield interception first.

It looks like Heynckes wants to play a head-to-head game with Real Madrid.

But Mourinho put the timing of tactical force in the second half.

But at the moment the media dare not tell the truth about the situation.

After all, Matuidi is not incapable of playing offensive tactics as the starter, and his ability to insert behind is still good.

What if Mourinho is still nesting dolls?

The London media, who have been teased by Mourinho before, were also cautious, and did not analyze the opening tactics of the two teams in advance.

He Wei and Director Zhang, who have already adjusted the commentary equipment on the spot, are also discussing in a low voice today's Real Madrid's play arrangement.

At the beginning, He Wei firmly believed that Mourinho was doing baby dolls, and was going to give everyone a big job after the game officially started.

But as time passed, he had to accept the reality after the players from both teams finished the opening ceremony and took their positions.

Mourinho is not working hard today. He really wants to play defense with Bayern in the first half and take the initiative to give up the initiative in attack.

Director Zhang looked at He Wei, who was obviously disappointed, and stopped teasing him. He took the lead and started introducing the starting players of the two teams.

"Bayern Munich's starting line-up today is as follows:
Goalkeeper No. 1 Neuer.

The left back is No. 27 Alaba, the center back is No. 4 Dante and No. 17 Boateng, and the right back is No. 21 Ram.

The double defensive midfielders are No. 31 Schweinsteiger and No. 8 Martinez.

The central midfielder is No. 39 Toni Kroos, the left midfielder is No. 7 Ribery, and the right midfielder is No. 10 Robben.

The forward center is No. 9 Mandzukic. "

"As for Real Madrid, today's starting goalkeeper is No. 1 Iker Casillas.

The left back is No. 12 Marcelo, the center back is No. 3 Pepe partner No. 4 Ramos, and the right back is No. 17 Aveiroa.

In the midfield, No. 14 Harvey Alonso is behind, and No. 10 Li Ang and No. 15 Matuidi serve as central midfielders.

On the front line, No. 7 Ronaldo and No. 22 Di Maria are on the left and right wings, and the forward center is still No. 9 Benzema. "

As soon as Director Zhang's voice fell, He Wei, who had quickly adjusted his mood, also continued to say:

"Okay, thank you Director Zhang for introducing the starting players on both sides. We can also see that the starting formations arranged by the head coaches of both sides today are hoarding five midfielders in the middle. However, in terms of specific tactics, it may be different. slightly different”

Before He Wei finished speaking, the referee on duty pinched his watch and blew the whistle for the official start of the game!

Both He Wei and Director Zhang were refreshed at this moment.

"Put it up, set it up! Dear viewers, welcome to the live broadcast of the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League final."

He Wei was still reading the opening remarks of the game, while Bayern Munich, who took the lead on the field, had already spread out their formation and launched an offensive with two wings pressing against Real Madrid.

Judging from Mourinho's assessment of Bayern's combat power last year and the final coping tactics adopted
His strategy of defending first and then attacking in today's Champions League final was a failure.

After all, last year Mourinho and the entire Real Madrid still believed that they couldn't just focus on defending against Bayern because they couldn't defend.

At that time, Real Madrid did fight Bayern for two rounds on the offensive end, and finally succeeded by relying on a sharper trident and a strong attack in the middle.

However, there is an old saying in Huaguo that good soldiers have no momentum, but water has no shape.

There were some deficiencies in last year's Bayern lineup, and they have been reinforced through further running-in and transfers.

With Martinez sitting in the midfield, Bayern's two waists are already very strong.

Today's Real Madrid wants to force Bayern in the middle, it will definitely not work.

Coupled with the improvement of Real Madrid's own defensive system and the growth and evolution of Li Ang, Mourinho made the decision to defend first at halftime and not rush to take the initiative to attack.

Compared with Heynckes, who has a more courageous and aggressive tactical arrangement, Mourinho still chose the safest style of play today.

This has nothing to do with whether to be conservative or not. It only cares about the choice. The defense is coming soon. Mourinho just wants to win the Champions League in the most secure way.

The current strength of Real Madrid, the defensive ability of the three midfielders composed of Li Ang, Harvey Alonso and Matuidi, gave Mourinho the greatest confidence.

The trust he gave to the players was quickly rewarded in the first five minutes of the game.

Real Madrid's current defensive performance is really watertight, or the habit of active defense and assisting defense has been engraved in the bones of this Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's players used tough defense and sharp counterattacks last season to defeat one after another strong opponents, and finally got all the honors they wanted.

This approach has been proven, by themselves, and is a stable and reliable way to win the championship.

With the same belief and being able to make sacrifices for each other, Real Madrid withstood Bayern's slightly direct attack at the beginning.

Heynckes watched the first 5 minutes of the contest between the two teams on the sidelines, and was not surprised by such a result.

Because this is the level of defense that Real Madrid can play now.

If you want to talk about which team is currently the most offensive in European football, then Bayern will not make any concessions in front of Real Madrid.

But when it comes to which team is currently the most defensive in European football, the Bayern players and Heynckes can only admit that they are indeed not as good as Real Madrid.

This is just a statement of fact, Mourinho knows the strengths of his team, Heynckes certainly knows.

The strong attack did not work, and Bayern Munich quickly played a penetrating attack mode combining the side and the center under the adjustment of Heynckes.

If the player in Bayern Munich's tenth position at this moment is Thomas Muller, then Bayern's offensive tactics may still be simpler and clearer.

But when Kroos was Bayern Munich's No. [-] player, more subtle technical changes appeared in Bayern's offense.

Li Ang is growing, and his opponents have not been idle in the past year, for example, Tony Kross, who is facing him at the moment.

After being entangled by Li Ang last year, Kroos was uncomfortable passing the ball, and the organization was also uncomfortable.

But this year, the two matched up again, and Cross's more calm and freehand passing organization method immediately made Li Ang feel tricky.

Because a player like Kroos who really uses intelligence and passing to guide the team's offensive style, once he stops competing with you at all, you have no good way to restrict him.

Li Ang has already used the defensive method of fighting with his body and using small movements to entangle and interfere.

But Kroos was still able to transfer the ball steadily in the confrontation with him.

Li Ang's defensive method can delay Bayern's penetration in the middle as much as possible, but it can't completely stop it, unless Li Ang fouls Kroos maliciously.

But this is definitely not going to happen, Li Ang can't do such unscrupulous means for victory.

Fortunately, at this moment, even if Li Ang's targeted defense fell into a little passive, Matuidi assisted and actively mopped up.

Bayern's other receiving attackers are still struggling to advance.

And Li Ang has always liked the habit of observation, which soon gave him a lot of defensive inspiration.

After a quick and clear communication with Brother Long, Li Ang was no longer obsessed with one-on-one restrictions with Cross.

He also ran loose in his own half, and like Matuidi, his target became all Bayern attackers who might receive the ball on his side.

Cross, who was not too fast, was handed over to Brother Long, who was lagging behind, to mainly mark.

As soon as Li Ang's defensive strategy changed, the combination of interception and strangulation formed by him and Matuidi immediately brought Real Madrid's defensive strength to another level in their own half.

Cross' pass threat is great, but when the teammates who receive his pass cannot quickly pass the interception of Li Ang and Matuidi.

His organizational role was also weakened in a disguised form.

It is impossible for Kroos to try to attack on his own and lead Bayern to make quick changes.

This half-time offensive and defensive situation that is extremely beneficial to Real Madrid was seen by Mourinho. Before he said anything, Karanka had already boasted.

"This kid's brain is still as lively as ever, he really got a chance!"

Mourinho smiled and nodded, but his mouth was still cautious.

"We still can't be careless, don't look at our overall defense at the moment, but we can't stand Bayern's two wingers with strong personal strength.

After a while, we can withstand the repeated impacts of Ribery and Robben, and our half-court defense can be completely stabilized.

And don't forget, Bayern Munich has a lot of good long-range shooters outside the penalty area. "

As soon as Mourinho's voice fell, Bayern, who had penetrated for a long time and did not find a good opportunity, was inserted by Alaba, who tried to bombard the goal 30 meters away from the goal!

Casillas was very concentrated at the moment, but it took a little effort to save Alaba's long shot out of the penalty area.

And just when the Bayern players were still regretting that this long shot did not get a corner kick, Real Madrid had taken advantage of the situation and launched a quick counterattack!
Modric did not start today, and the first receiver who followed up in the middle was naturally Li Ang.

Marcelo, who was leading the ball from the wing, ran forward, but after encountering Lahm's timely marking and pressure, he naturally made a cross pass to find Li Ang in the middle.

It had been a year since Schweinsteiger and Martinez, who hadn't played against Li Ang, were chasing back and lagging behind.

It seems to be a foolproof blocking scene.

But at the moment when Li Ang was about to face Martinez, Li Ang, whose speed seemed average before, suddenly accelerated, surpassing and widening the gap with Martinez in almost an instant!
With such a terrifying acceleration ability, even though Martinez was mentally prepared, Li Ang still jumped past the defense zone!

His turning speed is not too slow, at least not slow in the ranks of big men defending midfielders.

But compared to Li Ang's acceleration after the explosion, Martinez's turn is like an aircraft carrier turning around, and the movement seems to be slowed down.

And Li Ang also saw the right time at this time, and decisively sent a diagonal over-the-top pass!

This allowed Li Ang to avoid the possibility of direct confrontation with Boateng who was attacking, and it also gave Ronaldo, who penetrated diagonally into Bayern's penalty area, a very good chance to hit the goal.

After all, compared to Boateng, Dante's speed and physical flexibility are obviously not comparable to Ronaldo.

If Boateng is used to defend Ronaldo alone, then Real Madrid's attack is likely to end with Boateng destroying the ball.

But Dante's movement was just one beat slower, and Ronaldo didn't give Dante a chance to catch up with him and destroy the shot!

After stopping the ball in the chest, he adjusted his pace, relying on Dante's Ronaldo to fully exert his strength, and finally completed a volley side shot!

This shot is almost impeccable from adjustment to power.

And the more than 4 Real Madrid fans at the scene jumped up from the stands to cheer almost at this moment!
But a sudden big hand that broke into the live camera blocked Real Madrid's goal.

It's Neuer!

Neuer stepped forward at the most critical moment in the first half so far!

He also almost volleyed sideways, holding Ronaldo's perfect shot out of the goal line with a single palm!

The emotions of surprise and horror seemed to be reversed again among fans of Real Madrid and Bayern.

But at the moment, chaos continues in Bayern's penalty area.

Boateng, who was in a hurry to return to the defense, watched the football rushing towards him, but at this moment, he ran a little too far.

In desperation, he could only twist his body and barely use his heel to knock the ball out of the penalty area to make a back knock.

There is no problem with his choice and the first thought of relief.

But the problem is that when he hit the ball with his heel without hitting the right part and kicked the ball flawed, the running direction of the football is no longer under human control.

Real Madrid's offensive players and Bayern's defensive players, who predicted that they wanted to compete for the football, were dumbfounded at this moment!
Before, he thought he would have no chance, so he slowed down his running pace. Benzema, who was standing near the penalty spot at the moment, was also dumbfounded.

Seeing that, the soccer ball flew obliquely towards him in a daze.

Fortunately, Benzema, who was hit in the head by a huge surprise, didn't stay in a daze for too long.

Subconsciously stretching his legs to block, let the football change its direction again.

And Neuer, who just got up from the turf and counterattacked at this moment, obviously couldn't save Bayern's last line of defense again!
The football bounced across the line, and finally hit the net!

At this moment, Li Ang, who also rushed into the Bayern penalty area, jumped onto Benzema's back, shouting in surprise rather than regret:

"My assist! My assist is gone!"

However, amid the huge cheers and hustle and bustle at the scene, Li Ang's excited complaints were not heard by others.

In this way, Benzema rushed to the corner flag area with Li Ang on his back to start the celebration, and the rest of the Real Madrid players naturally rushed forward with excitement!

This dramatic development of Real Madrid's counterattack finally had a result that excited countless Real Madrid fans!

The Real Madrid fans at the scene can finally let go of their hearts and cheer happily!
At this moment, Haishuai, who was angry and slapped the ceiling of the bench because of this bad luck, looked at Li Ang who was celebrating with his teammates on the field as if he remembered something after getting angry!

Li Ang, who had been defending honestly before, played for 6 minutes in the first half, and only made such a move forward!
He did not assist Ronaldo to score, and Benzema's goal seemed to be a random luck ball.

But Heynckes would not ignore Li Ang's role in this counterattack.

Without Li Ang's strong pass and Ronaldo's goal, can Benzema get the chance to catch the leak in front of the goal? !

For this, Heynckes fell into a tactical problem that he had to think about.

"Is this kid Mourinho's smoke bomb or his trump card?"
