Football: The strongest post-zero generation

There is still an hour before the start of the game, and the starting lineups of both sides of the game appear on UEFA's official website.

The 2017-2018 Champions League champion Liverpool used the usual 433 formation, with goalkeeper Alisson, defenders Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip and Alexander-Arnold, midfielders Henderson, Wijnaldum and Li Qing, forwards Mane and Felipe Ermino and Salah.

Europa League champion Atletico Madrid is 442, goalkeeper Oblak, defenders Lucas Hernandez, Godin, Savic and Juanfran, midfielders Koke, Rodri, Saul and Le Mar, forward is Diego Costa partnering Griezmann.

Players from both sides came to the stadium to warm up one after another. The fans in the auditorium were already packed. Liverpool fans and Atletico Madrid fans were in the south and north. The Jinghe River was clearly separated. Their respective fans extended to both sides. Neutral fans who joined in the fun were sitting in the main stand and the auxiliary stand.

Of course, neutral fans with limited funds also hang out in the north and south stands. After all, the seats with worse visibility are cheaper.

Despite this, as the game time gets closer, the most common tickets have reached a terrifying stage. The lowest ticket price is 12 euros, which has now risen to nearly 300 euros, and the 200 euros for VIP seats have increased. It came to nearly 10,000 euros.

The players who came to the stadium to warm up were very serious. The Liverpool players wanted to win the sixth championship in 2018, and the Atletico Madrid players wanted to take revenge for being eliminated by Liverpool in the Champions League group stage last season.

The relationship between the three French players Griezmann, Lemar and Lucas Hernandez is even more complicated. In the World Cup final a month ago, it was Li Qing's big four that helped England defeat France 4:2. causing their efforts to go to waste.

Entering the World Cup finals, no one expected to win runner-up, especially as the overall strength of the French team was significantly stronger than England's. England's ability to win the World Cup was largely due to Li Qing's super scoring ability and... realistic performances. .

In Kanter's words, if Li Qing didn't pretend to be injured, it would be difficult for him to score!

It is precisely for this reason that Atletico Madrid's French players are aggrieved and believe that the World Cup championship won by England led by Li Qing was stolen from them.

Li Qing looked at the French players' resentful looks and chose to ignore them.

I told Loris that I was not injured, but you didn't believe me. Do you blame me?

The forty-minute warm-up time passed quickly. Players from both sides went to the player tunnel one after another and returned to their respective locker rooms to prepare for the European Super Cup that will be held in this stadium in about twenty minutes.

…

"Chinese TV, Tianchao TV, the game broadcast for you now is the live broadcast of the 2018 European Super Cup Champions League champion Liverpool and the Europa League champion Atletico Madrid. The ones wearing red and white striped shirts and red pants are Atletico Madrid. They Attacking from the left to the right of the broadcast screen, the one wearing purple jersey and purple pants is Liverpool..."

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei shouted with excitement.

Atletico Madrid players, who had the advantage of kicking off, quickly launched a wave of offense through passing. Koke, Rodri, Saul and Lemar continued to interfere with Liverpool's stable defensive system through passing and cutting.

In the second minute, Cork won a cross from the right rib of the attack. Robertson stretched his legs to block the ball half a beat late. The football drew a wonderful arc in the air. Van Dijk and Diego Costa at the front point were under mutual pressure. Neither of them touched the football. Griezmann was very alert in his movement. Although he was only 1.76 meters tall, his jumping and judgment of landing points were very strong. Matip was accidentally dodged by Griezmann. Completed a header in front of him.

"wowowowoowoooooooo——"

The sky above the stadium was instantly reminded of the screams that broke out from the Liverpool fans.

At this time, the role of Brazil national goalkeeper Alisson was perfectly demonstrated. His side dive was like a spring that was squeezed to the extreme. He suddenly rushed out, lifted his left palm up, and blocked Griezmann's sure-to-win header. Doors turned away.

"Didn't make it! Allison made a contribution!"

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice suddenly rose an octave: "Alison, who set a new goalkeeper transfer record this summer, played a role in turning the tide! He kept the goal in check! The 72.5 million euros were really worth it!"

Alisson, who had just arrived, did not get angry at the defense. Head coach Klopp immediately came to the sidelines and roared at the defensive players, venting his strong dissatisfaction with the defensive players. If Alisson hadn't performed well, the ball would most likely have been missed. Entered.

Although having Li Qing starts the game with a score of 2:0, conceding a goal first will make people feel uncomfortable, especially less than two minutes into the game.

Matip is well aware of his mistake and knows that the team is now highly competitive, so he takes a penalty kick in his mind, thinking that he must perform better in the next game, otherwise the starting central defender position is likely to be replaced by Joe Gomez.

Griezmann, who missed the goal, put his head in his hands with a look of regret. If he could help the team open the scoring in the second minute of the game, the possibility of defeating Liverpool would be greatly increased.

It's just...a little bit different!

damn it!

Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone even half-knelt on the ground, yelling something, obviously expressing his strong dissatisfaction with the missed goal.

The Atletico Madrid fans in the audience shook their heads dejectedly. They knew that the team's specialty was quick counterattacks, so there wouldn't be many such opportunities. If Alisson refused Griezmann's must-goal, it would be difficult next time. Get another chance like this.

Koke took a corner kick from the right, Van Dijk overpowered Godin and Savic and headed the ball out of the penalty area, Salah followed up and kicked the ball, and the ball flew to the center circle.

"Oops!"

Diego Simeone looked over with his eyes following the ball.

I saw a purple lightning flash across the court at high speed, rushing towards the landing point of the ball.

Rodri and Juanfran are not players with good speed, and the two central defenders Savic and Godin participated in the corner kick attack, which means that Atletico's defense only has Rodri and Juanfran...

"This is a great counterattack opportunity!"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao 5, looked at Li Qing who appeared on the broadcast screen, and his voice rose eight degrees: "Juanfran didn't hold on, Li Qing chased the ball! Rodri tried very hard, but... he was getting farther and farther away from Li Qing..."

"aoaoaooaooaoooooooo——"

The Liverpool fans at the Riecera Stadium burst into a huge and violent cheer like a tsunami, and quickly swept the entire stadium.

Li Qing's speed is unparalleled in the world. If the defensive players fail to stop him at the first time, it means that they will never catch up.

Goalkeeper Oblak dared not leave the goal to attack. The past two Champions League group matches are still fresh in his memory...

World Cup Golden Ball winner Li Qing was like a wild horse running away. He pushed Salah's clearance forward and rushed to the penalty area without slowing down.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Li Qing brought the ball from the Atletico half circle to the top of the penalty area. Oblak had no choice but to leave the goal to attack.

"aoaoaooaooaoo——"

The cheers from the audience reached the extreme. Li Qing's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident smile, but he did not choose to lob or push directly, but used his speed to force a change of direction and accelerate the breakthrough.

What happened next was very simple for a player of Li Qing's level. With a gentle push of his left foot, the football slowly crossed the goal line and hit the snow-white net...

"Gooooooooooooooooooooal——"

The iconic drawn-out voice of Sky TV commentator Andy Gray instantly resounded throughout the live broadcast room.
