Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 411: Champions League Final Begins

2020 6 Month 2 Day.

Estadio da Luz, Lisbon, Portugal.

The coastal town was occupied by fans, and the area around the stadium was packed with people, most of whom were Manchester United fans wearing red jerseys.

You know, after two years of operation, coupled with the extremely dazzling results, Manchester United has surpassed Real Madrid and become the club with the most fans.

What's more, Manchester United is a classic internet celebrity team with several traffic experts in its management team.

Although they don't understand football, they are not inferior to Real Madrid in terms of hype and momentum.

Soon, under the crazy flashing spotlights, many football legends appeared.

When Wenger appeared at the entrance of the stadium, he was immediately questioned by many reporters.

"What do you think about Arsenal's loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup final?"

"You said you would never go back to the Emirates Stadium to watch a game, but I guess you watched that game. How do you see the future of Arsenal?"

"Who do you think will win the Champions League final tonight?"

"."

Wenger reluctantly turned away the microphone, ignored the first two questions, and replied with a smile: "From the strength of Paris and Manchester United, I think Manchester United will win with a high probability, but there is no absolute in the football world. Maybe Paris can create a miracle like Manchester United did two years ago?
Of course, from my point of view, I definitely hope that Paris will win the championship. After all, in all the years of French football, only one club has won the Champions League, and that is Marseille in the 1992-93 season.

French football is very strong nowadays, and the level of the players is also very high. Apart from the lack of experience compared to Manchester United, I think other aspects should not be bad. "

How could Wenger, a native Frenchman, possibly want a Premier League club to win the title?
Of course, if Manchester United is replaced by Arsenal, he will definitely change his mind.

But Arsenal won't even be able to play in the Champions League next season.

"Regarding the recent hot topic on the Internet, the gap between Killian and Chu, what do you think?"

another reporter asked.

"Sometimes we have to admit that Chu is the best in the current football world, otherwise he would not have won the Ballon d'Or. I even think he has overstated the Ballon d'Or, and maybe future winners will be criticized by fans.

Although Kylian has matured and his technical characteristics have stabilized, there is still a distance between the two. However, football is not a one-man sport. I believe that the Paris players will unite and launch an impact on the Champions League title. "

Wenger recalled the game before he left, when Manchester United defeated Arsenal with absolute strength, leading to his dismissal amid countless "wenger outs".

Thinking about it now, I still feel sad. I gave so much to Arsenal, but ended up like that. There is simply no way to complain.

At the pre-match press conference.
"We need tactics and luck, we need to combine these and also need a good balance. The players want to see our plan and want to know our ideas, but they also need freedom, so I don't make detailed tactics.

"Of course you need luck in the game, if you want to beat Manchester United you need these things."

"Chu? He's a very good player. What amazes me most is how fast he's improved. Only a great personality can do that. And he has to bear the pressure of wearing that jersey, but he takes it all with ease."

"He has proven before that he can dominate the game individually, but we also worked hard to find a solution."

Tuchel held his plastered leg and smiled in response to reporters' questions.

The German has confidence in himself and his team.

Since they were able to beat Bayern and reach the Champions League final.

That means they have a chance of winning the championship.

Even if you fail, it’s no big deal. You can come back and realize your dream later.

On the contrary, Manchester United wearing shoes should be more worried, and their psychological pressure will be greater.

Another conference room.

"I've been to several Champions League finals in my career and I always say the same thing, 50/ chances for both sides to win and that remains the same."

"What's the point of saying this? I just want to tell the world that Manchester United will not relax its requirements on itself because of its opponents."

"We will treat Paris as our strongest opponent and play the most perfect game of the season."

Mourinho leaned back in his chair and spoke softly.

"When I met you fifteen years ago, our hair was not this white yet, and you said you were special. I'm not looking for that label, but I always feel that you are very humble now, without the arrogance you had fifteen years ago, which is what made you one of the best. If you become humble now, are you worried about losing this factor?"

A reporter from The Guardian asked a question.

"You are everywhere. I will see you after the game. In the cold passage after the game, you are always there, at any time."

Mourinho smiled with memories, shrugged and continued: "Actually, I have always been humble in the past. The problem is that you never understood it. In other words, I have always been humble in my own way."

Inside the Manchester United dressing room.

"Guys, after this game, the Champions League trophy is only six feet away from us, but if we lose to Paris, we can't even think about touching it!"

"So, don't let yourself come back here without trying your best, we want to lift the Champions League trophy that symbolizes honor!"

"I think you have all found your reasons, honor, money, family, or anything else. Remember your desire for victory and release it on the court!"

"Look at Harry, he came from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, and his parents didn't even support him playing football when he was a kid.

"Look at Scott again. He has been a substitute at Manchester United for more than two years, but he has always been strict with himself and has never relaxed in training."

"."

What Chu Feng said confused the Manchester United players. They didn't understand what Chu Feng wanted to express, but they soon realized something.

They are not just one team, they come from all corners of the world, with various cultures, races and religious beliefs.

But here they are, together in the dressing room at the Stadium of Light, working towards the same dream.

Because of football, he became a teammate and the people with the best tacit understanding.

"So this is our victory, we have to get it!"

Chu Feng stretched out his hand after he finished speaking, and his teammates also stepped forward and shouted in unison:
"Manchester United - must win!"

Soon, players from both teams came to the player tunnel.

"Long time no see." Mbappe waved.

"I look forward to your performance today."

Chu Feng smiled and nodded.

Neymar stared at Chu Feng, and besides fighting spirit, there was more of a sense of powerlessness in his eyes.

To be honest, he felt that facing Chu Feng, the pressure was greater than Messi. Although Messi's dribbling at his peak became the nightmare of the world's top defensive players.

But the finishing ability is obviously stronger.

Therefore, whether Paris Saint-Germain can successfully counterattack depends on how Chu Feng performs.

If he shows his previous dominance again, the Paris Saint-Germain defense will probably be broken into a sieve.

Thiago Silva had a brief chat with his old teammates and there was no unpleasantness between them. After all, they left the team peacefully.

But Tuchel is very regretful. Seeing Thiago's recent performance, he feels that selling him to Manchester United would be aiding the enemy.

Moreover, Thiago is familiar with Paris Saint-Germain players, knows their habits and characteristics, and knows how to defend.

Tuchel suddenly became worried again. As a result, he has lost a lot of hair recently and is even planning to ask Conte where to get a hair transplant.

I heard that Cristiano Ronaldo opened a hair transplant institution. I wonder what the results are like?
When the exciting UEFA Champions League theme song sounded, the atmosphere on the scene was immediately raised to the extreme, and players from both teams walked out of the player tunnel one after another.

"Good evening, viewers!"

"What we are broadcasting for you now is the 2019-20 Champions League final!"

“Manchester United vs PSG!”

"A showdown between the old giants and the new giants!"

"The total value of the players of the two teams exceeds 18 billion euros!"

“It’s a battle of money, but in a football match, who wins is not determined by the value of the player, but by the performance of the player!”

"Many players with extremely high prices often fail to perform at their true level in major tournaments."

"The camera is focused on the players from both teams, the two young men Chu Feng and Mbappe."

"Two years ago, Manchester United was the challenger, but now it is sitting on the throne and accepting the challenge from Paris Saint-Germain!"

“I wonder if the former is defending dignity, or the latter is creating new history?”

"Then let's wait and see!"

"Let me introduce you to the starting lineups of the two teams!"

"The team wearing red jerseys is Manchester United. Mourinho chose 4-3-1-2. Goalkeeper:"

"B Fee's starting attacking midfielder role shows that Mourinho is still playing it safe, but Chu Feng and Mahrez are partnering up to give the frontcourt enough offensive intensity."

"Therefore, strengthening the defense in the midfield is a wise choice."

-
[Manchester United's peak lineup is more stable and outstanding than when Pogba was there. ]
-
[The lack of Pogba led to a decrease in the intensity of the attack, which was compensated by Chu Feng's strong use of his personal ability. ]
-
【Xiaomi finally made his debut, and finally made it after so many years of hard work.】
-
[The back line is also very solid. Although Thiago is old, he is incredibly stable and can also help Maguire and prevent him from getting sick all the time. ]
-
[Maguire is a top central defender if he doesn’t get sick! ]
-
[I heard that Manchester United has also signed Ake. The Dutchman will be able to join Manchester United in the summer window, and then the midfield and backcourt will continue to be strengthened. ]
-
【Perfect! 】
-
[Chu Feng, keep working hard, win the Champions League for the third time in a row! ]

"Paris Saint-Germain in black jerseys, Tuchel's formation is 4-3-3, goalkeeper:"

"Compared to Manchester United's balanced lineup, Paris Saint-Germain is typically top-heavy. Perhaps it's because Ligue 1 is not very competitive, so they are used to spending money on the forward line."

"The trident of Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria can indeed put a lot of pressure on the opponent on the offensive end, but the game is not won by scoring more goals. Defense is also an indispensable part of victory."

Studio.
-
[The central defender combination of Kim Pembe and Gabak, I don’t know how they can stop Chu Feng? ]
-
[In fact, Kimpembe has played really well recently. He froze Lewandowski in the Champions League semi-finals. Marquinhos also performed very well, and his sweeps in the midfield and backcourt were eye-catching. ]
-
[To be honest, as a fan who doesn’t watch Ligue 1 very often, I really can’t recognize the players of Paris Saint-Germain, except for the three famous ones mentioned above.]
-
[It seems that the unprecedented 9 consecutive French Ligue titles are not of high quality. ]
-
[In fact, in recent years, Paris Saint-Germain has been defeated by Barcelona, ​​Chelsea and Manchester City in the knockout stage. Isn't it the most tragic giant? ]
-
[More than that, before Mbappe and the other two came, Paris Saint-Germain had better results in the Champions League, except for reaching the final this year. ]
-
[The wealthy in the Middle East must be furious. They invested in Manchester City but got no results, and they invested in Paris but are bullying themselves. ]
-
[Don’t open the champagne in advance, there are many upsets in the Champions League! ]

Beep! ! !
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

The Stadium of Light suddenly erupted into deafening cheers.

Manchester United possession of the ball.

Chu Feng kicked the ball back to B Fee, who continued to pass it back.

"PSG didn't choose to press, just like they did against Bayern, they played low and counterattacked."

"Look, when the Manchester United midfielder held the ball and organized the attack, the three midfielders of Paris Saint-Germain did not move forward to press, but retreated to protect the space in front of the back line."

"But they have overlooked one thing. Manchester United and Bayern's tactics are completely different. They can even be said to be two extremes!"

"Manchester United did not give Paris any chance to counterattack and were obviously cautious when advancing."

"The final was an unnamed game. As expected, both teams played very conservatively."

At the Luz Stadium, when the ball came to Sandro's feet, the Brazilian winger did not break through easily, but passed it diagonally to Chu Feng who was waiting to receive the ball.

In an instant, Verratti, Buck and Correll surrounded him, showing a posture that they could not pass the ball past anyone.

What are the targeted measures that Tuchel mentioned?
It is to use the advantage of numbers to surround and intercept, and forcibly freeze Manchester United's offensive core.

Chu Feng did not pursue a breakthrough. He quickly passed the ball back to Matic, then turned around and went straight into the penalty area.

Manchester United has a lot of experience in how to break through the bus.

Long shots, crosses, and dispatches. Now Manchester United is using high-altitude bombing.

The giant formation is no joke.

The two central defenders of Paris Saint-Germain, Kimpembe 183cm and Bakker 185cm, are not very tall.

Even though the two have good jumping ability and physique, they were still under great pressure facing Manchester United's fierce bombardment.

The 6th minute of the game.

Wan-Bissaka advanced quickly along the sideline, forced his way past Paredes and made a straight pass, and Mahrez received the ball and walked towards the baseline.

Conventional crosses from the bottom are useless because the speed is too slow. Man-to-man defense is enough. Except for being effective in mobile warfare, it is difficult to score in other situations.

But set pieces are completely different. Really strong teams are good at set pieces, especially a team like Manchester United.

Besides, Mourinho is very good at coaching set pieces.

Therefore, facing Bernat, Mahrez kicked the ball directly without any hesitation, and then the ball was blocked by the latter and went out of the baseline.

"Look at Manchester United's corner on the right."

"Maguire and Thiago both came to the penalty area, Manchester United is going to go all out for the corner kick!"

"Paris Saint-Germain's defense is very clear, combining zone and man-to-man defense, and the Manchester United players started to move!"
