My uncle is Inzaghi.

Judging from the rigid situation at the opening stage.

Both sides tried to launch an offensive in the opening stage to suppress their opponents.

Both sides thought the same thing.

As a result, both sides took turns attacking, and the scene was very lively.

For neutral fans.

This Champions League final was quite exciting.

But for Enrique.

He doesn't want to see this situation.

What he hopes to see more is that Barcelona can control the ball and the tempo.

This is what Barcelona excels at.

But now, the pace of the game is a bit fast and the game has a tendency to get out of control.
Enrique frowned. The past ten minutes of the game made him very anxious.

He saw the problem.

Barcelona is a little anxious!

Losing to Real Madrid three times in a row has made Barcelona players eager to prove themselves and defeat Real Madrid.

But anything can be excessive or insufficient.

If Barcelona could score a goal in the opening stages, this momentum would become a raging fire that would bury Real Madrid.

But now more than ten minutes have passed.

Barcelona haven't scored yet.

This momentum may become a problem for Barcelona. Their players begin to become anxious and gradually lack the patience to organize when attacking.

This is the problem now.

Real Madrid also had an offensive.

But Enrique saw clearly that Real Madrid's defense was very solid.

One piece of evidence is their defense.

Both Carvajal and Marcelo stayed in their own half.

Even Marcelo, who had the strongest desire to attack, did not cross the half court. It can be seen that from the opening stage of the game to now, although Real Madrid and Barcelona have been attacking each other, it looks quite lively.

But in fact.

Real Madrid is as steady as an old dog.

They were attacking on the basis of solid defense.

And what about Barcelona?

Alves and Abidal often dribbled across half the field. Not to mention them, even central defender Pique often dribbled the ball across half the field.

In terms of the number of people involved in the offense.

Barcelona has more than Real Madrid.

However, in terms of offensive effectiveness, it is only about the same as Real Madrid.

Enrique knows that losing to Real Madrid three times in a row has become a psychological burden for Barcelona players.

But the more anxious you are, the worse the effect will be.

What he needs is for the players to calm down and find the rhythm that belongs to Barcelona.

Enrique began shouting Iniesta's name on the sidelines.

At the same time, he made a gesture of pressing down with both hands.

After seeing the gesture of the head coach on the sidelines.

Iniesta soon understood.

He raised his hand to ask for the ball, and then did not rush to pass it forward. Instead, he cooperated with the players in the midfield and backcourt to make continuous passes.

"Get our rhythm back!!"

After Iniesta passed the ball to Rakitic, he pointed to his temples and said to Rakitic and Busquets.

Barcelona's other two midfielders also understood the message.

Adjustments were quickly made.

Barcelona slowed down the tempo under the control of three midfielders and they were no longer in a hurry to pass the ball forward.

Instead, he passed the ball back and forth in the midfield and backcourt, dealing with Real Madrid.

Zidane felt a little regretful when he saw this scene.

This was the scene he hated to see the most.

Barcelona slowly controlled the ball.

It doesn't look threatening, but it's a test of the team's patience and concentration
If you are not careful, the opponent may launch a fatal attack.

Zidane came to the sidelines.

He also made a gesture of pressing his hands down.

Hold on!

Seeing this, the Real Madrid players did not rush forward to grab the ball, but retreated steadily and consolidated their defense in the midfield and backcourt.

The pace of both sides suddenly slowed down.

The two teams are indeed among the strongest teams in Europe.

The pace can be fast or slow.

This is the control of rhythm.

It is indeed very powerful.

Real Madrid retreated. No matter how Barcelona passed the ball, Real Madrid's defensive formation would not change. The focus of defense would only shift with the football.

Always have the most solid defense in the direction of the football.

Real Madrid's solid defense meant Barcelona couldn't find an opening despite passing the ball back and forth for several times.

However, they did not seem to be in a hurry, but continued to pass the ball back and sideways.

This made the Real Madrid fans in the stands very unhappy.

They booed immediately.

Suddenly.

In the stands of Berlin's Olympic Stadium.

There were boos.

The Barcelona players ignored the boos from the stands and focused on passing the ball.

Real Madrid knew that Barcelona's goal was to lure the snake out of its hole.

Let them press forward and expose the gaps in the midfield and backcourt.

Then create opportunities for Messi and other front attackers.

So they refused to be fooled.

The two sides are at it.

The commentators were depressed.

what happened?

They were fighting well before, why did it suddenly stop?

The game suddenly changed from a fast-paced game to a slow-paced game.

Who could have predicted this?
However, the commentators are also very professional.

They quickly found other angles to blow.

"Both teams showed very mature tactical qualities, worthy of being the Champions League final!"

Of course.

Barcelona is not without attack.

They would suddenly pass the ball forward to catch Real Madrid off guard.

But Real Madrid was well prepared for this.

Twenty-seventh minute of the game.

Iniesta suddenly pressed forward and then passed the ball to Neymar.

When Neymar was about to cross the ball, Carvajal intercepted the ball.

Carvajal then made a long pass to Li Mo.

Li Mo took the ball, turned around and took a long shot from 30 meters away from the goal.

The ball was saved by Ter Stegen.

Real Madrid gets a corner kick!
"Corner kick! Real Madrid's set piece is coming!"

The commentators were immediately excited.

Real Madrid's set-piece attack is very threatening.

Barcelona has never been very good at defending set pieces.

Real Madrid has many players who are good at heading the ball.

Now there is a stalemate between the two sides on the scene.

Set pieces are the best way to break the deadlock.

Li Mo stood in front of the door.

There will always be a shortage of defensive players around him.

Because Barcelona doesn't dare to leave Li Mo alone.

This is no different from seeking death.

Real Madrid obviously takes this corner kick very seriously.

Ramos and Varane both entered the penalty area.

Modric went to take the corner kick.

In the restricted area.

Players from both teams pushed and pulled each other, making it difficult for Modric to kick the ball out several times, so the referee blew the whistle to stop the game.

All Barcelona players returned to defend.

Even Messi came back and stood at the front post to prevent Modric from sneaking into the front post and scoring directly from a corner kick.

The other Barcelona players also have division of labor.

Some people were standing in position, some were watching people. And beside Li Mo.

Pique, Mascherano and Busquets were all staring at him.

obviously.

In the eyes of Barcelona players, Li Mo must be the core attacker of Real Madrid's set-piece attack.

Barcelona fans in front of the TV and in the stands think so too.
They chanted, "Focus on Li Mo and freeze him!"

Both central defenders Pique and Mascherano did not stand in position, but focused on marking Li Mo.

This shows how much Barcelona values ​​Li Mo.

Pique's hand was already on Li Mo's jersey.

But he didn't move much.

Although the referee noticed it, he did not issue a warning.

Before that, he had already blew the whistle three times to warn players from both sides.

But the players on both sides continued to make small moves.

So the referee can only turn a blind eye, otherwise, this corner kick will never be taken.
The referee blew the whistle.

Just as Modric was about to take a run-up.

Pique suddenly screamed!
It turned out that in order to get rid of Pique's arm that was grabbing his jersey, Li Mo rudely chopped his hand down and split Pique's hand in half.

This scream finally caught the referee's attention.

Pique covered his face - Li Mo hit his hand, and he didn't know why he covered his face, maybe it was a habit.

Pique covered his face and screamed, rolling on the ground.

The dramatic effect is full.

The referee ran over and motioned for Pique to get up.

Then he called the two men aside and gave Li Mo and Pike a verbal warning respectively.

Pique didn't really converge.

Wait until the referee leaves.

He grabbed Li Mo's jersey again.

As long as the referee doesn't give me a card, I'll make the decision!
It's normal to have some small movements when there are so many people attacking from a corner kick.

This time, Li Mo didn't have the same experience as him.

The struggle in the penalty area continues.

Modric raised his right hand and extended three fingers.

When the Real Madrid players saw this gesture, they knew how Modric wanted them to cooperate.

For every game, the team will prepare several positioning and coordination routines for set pieces.

And it's not surprising.

With Modric's run-up.

The restricted area became even more chaotic.

Li Mo suddenly rushed towards the front point.

Pikla couldn't hold it back.

At this moment, the other Barcelona players rushed towards Li Mo.

A large group of Barcelona players suddenly followed Li Mo.

However, Li Mo did not jump up to compete for the header, but let the football fly over his head.

Li Mo is feinting!!

Suddenly.

The Barcelona players felt a rustling sound on their backs and broke out in cold sweat.

They turned their heads and looked in the direction of the football.

A Real Madrid player was seen coming in from the back row.

"Be careful!!"

Someone shouted loudly.

Alonso cruised here and jumped high! !

And the person responsible for defending in that position is winger Neymar!!

Neymar retreated and when he heard his teammate's reminder, he immediately jumped up, but his jump was unable to interfere with Alonso at all.

Alonso jumped high and headed the ball past Neymar.

It's so easy to hit this ball! !
Because most of the defense was attracted by Li Mo.

Alonso jumped in from the back row, and Neymar's physique made it difficult for him to compete with Alonso in such a head-on confrontation.

So when the football plane hits the goal.

No one has fully reacted yet.

About a second passed.

Then the commentator suddenly yelled: "Alonso!! Ball!! The ball goes in!!!"

Li Mo did not stop after running to the front point. After the football flew over his head, he turned his head and saw Alonso head the ball into the goal.

Li Mo raised his arms high and accelerated towards Modric in the corner flag area.

It turned out that his purpose of running forward without stopping was to run towards the corner flag area to celebrate the goal.

When Modric extended his third finger, everyone knew that this ball was not for Li Mo.

Instead, he used Li Mo's attraction to Barcelona's defense to create opportunities for other players.

Use Li Mo's huge influence to conduct a feint attack.

This was planned from the beginning.

Because everyone knows it.

Barcelona will definitely guard Li Mo tightly.

Thus.

There will certainly be space for other Real Madrid players.

In such a final competition.

Real Madrid wouldn't mind taking advantage of this in exchange for a goal!
Alonso is not a player known for his headers.

In Barcelona's defensive preparations.

Li Mo must be the first person to be targeted.

But they couldn't just focus on Li Mo.

Players in Real Madrid who are good at heading, such as Ramos and Varane, are also the focus of defense.

So no one thought of it at all.

The player who found the ball was actually Alonso!
When Alonso faced Neymar, his advantage in the aerial confrontation was too great.

Neymar barely caused him any trouble.
For Alonso, it was almost an open header.

Even though heading is not his best skill, he would not miss such a scoring opportunity.

The player who scored the first goal wasn't Li Mo?
This did come as some surprise to the Real Madrid fans in the stands.

But it was just an accident.

To them.

Whoever scores a goal doesn’t score?
A huge cheer rang out.

At the Berlin Olympic Stadium, the cheers of Real Madrid fans completely drowned out the voices of Barcelona fans.

Barcelona fans frowned.

They knew very well what it meant to concede the first goal in a game like this.

Barcelona must now strengthen their attack.

They have to speed up the pace.

But this also brings Real Madrid's opportunity!

They can comfortably play defensive counterattack.

This made Barcelona fans frown when they thought about what might happen next.

Real Madrid took advantage of a corner kick to sneak past Barcelona and take the lead.

Alonso is the main target.
Who would have thought?
This was a very successful sneak attack!

The name most mentioned before the game was Li Mo.

It’s as if there is only one Li Mo in Real Madrid.

But actually Li Mo is excluded.

The rest of Real Madrid's players are also world class!

It’s just that because Li Mo’s brilliance is too dazzling, people ignore them.

The sun is coming out.

The light from the stars can be ignored.

But this does not mean that other players in Real Madrid are not excellent.
After Alonso headed the ball into the goal.

Zidane raised his arms and shouted from the sidelines!

He was so happy!!

Because it was a tactical victory.

He took advantage of Li Mo's fame.

Taking advantage of Li Mo's personal abilities.

Accurately grasped Barcelona's psychological misunderstanding.

It wasn't a very clever plot, but it was very successful.

Zidane and his assistants high-fived each other.

Compared to the performance of the stars.

Such a goal can better reflect the coaching staff's design for the game.

The team's victory and championship are not just the credit of Li Mo alone.

The entire Real Madrid team also deserves credit! (End of this chapter)
