Chapter 253: Ten Crowns or First Crowns (Happy Lantern Festival Fourth Shift)
The CCTV channel has started the live broadcast of this game, and it is Duan Wenxuan and a beautiful guest Liu Ruoshi who are commenting on the game. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"2002 was the last time Real Madrid won the Big Ears Cup, and 12 years later, Real Madrid went through two Galactic periods, spending a total of more than £1 billion on the world's superstars. But since 2005, Real Madrid has lost the Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds for six consecutive seasons, creating a bitter joke of 'Sixteen Lang'. 12 years later, this season's Real Madrid bought Bale with a lot of money, and he and Ronaldo formed the two most expensive wings in the world, known as 200 million to fly; bought the new golden boy Isco, let go of Callejon and Higuain, and invited Ancelotti, the meritorious coach, they finally came to the final stage, will what awaits them be the realization of the dream of ten crowns? Duan Wenxuan introduced to the audience, "On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain, a young club founded in 1970 and officially founded in 1973, has invested a lot of money in recent years, almost completely rebuilt the team, and bought a number of well-known stars: Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Shi Hao, Ravitch, Thiago. Silva...... However, their shortcomings are also obvious, compared with a rich club like Real Madrid, their bench depth is not enough, and the level of substitutes and main players is too different. Paris Saint-Germain are still in the final of the Champions League for the first time, can they lift the trophy for the first time? If PSG win, they will be the 23rd team in history to win the Big Ears Cup......"
In the Stadium of Light, the on-site commentators have already begun to read out the starting lists of both sides. Every name is pronounced and it is greeted with cheers and applause from the fans – and, of course, boos from opposing fans.
However, as today's match was played in a neutral stadium, the number of people who arrived was more Portuguese fans, and they did not have obvious tendencies, so the boos were not too big.
Cristiano Ronaldo received the most cheers. As one of the best footballers in the world, he has a huge following after winning the 2013 Ballon d'Or, and he made his debut at Sporting Lisbon, which is his second home stadium.
In addition, Coentrão, who played for Benfica and played dozens of games at the Stadium of Light, also received a lot of cheers. Of course, Shi Hao also has a large number of fans, and the momentum is enough to compete with them, so that the Stadium of Light will not become the home of Real Madrid.
The team song, group photo, and edge guessing were carried out in an orderly manner.
In the live broadcast room of CCTV Sports Channel, Duan Wenxuan seized the time to broadcast the appearance lists of the two sides.
On Real Madrid's side, Ronaldo, who has not recovered from his injury, really appeared in the starting list. They lined up the usual 433 formation this season: goalkeeper No. 1 Casillas, the back line from right to left is No. 15 Carvajal, No. 4 Ramos, No. 2 Varane, No. 5 Coentrão, and the midfield three are No. 6 Khedira, No. 19 Modric, and No. 22 Di Maria. The three strikers are No. 11 Bale on the right and No. 7 Cristiano. Ronaldo is in the middle, and No. 9 Benzema is in front.
Harvey. Alonso's yellow card suspension was an incalculable loss for Real Madrid, and Raphael Varane's start in place of Pepe in such a crucial game came as a surprise to many. And Isco, the golden boy who performed well in the second half of the season, did not start, which also made many people unable to understand.
PSG's formation has not changed, with all three of them playing up front and a midfield trio of Matuidi, Verratti and Motta. There are no changes to the backline and goalkeeper either.
As Duan Wenxuan said, Paris Saint-Germain's bench depth is really a bit insufficient, especially for midfielders, the gap between the strength of the starters and the substitutes is too large. There is only one Cabaye who can really handle the midfielder on the bench, and this guy has not really integrated into the team, and there are still big problems with the coordination with other players......
With the whistle of Dutch referee Kujpels, the final of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League season officially began.
After a few minutes of testing each other, the two sides quickly entered the white-knuckle battle stage. Both teams have managers who are conservative in their style, but both have super strong fronts and slightly fragile defenses, so they are hopeful that they will finish off their opponents with devastating attacks.
So this game is destined to be very intense and very good to watch.
In the 7th minute, Bale defended back to the right side of the penalty area and brought down Maxwell, and Paris Saint-Germain won a free kick. Shi Hao hoisted the ball into the box, the ball was cleared by Varane's header, and Cavani used his strong body to squeeze past Modric to grab the second spot, but his shot hit the defender and went off the line.
In the 13th minute, Paris Saint-Germain counterattacked, Verratti's long pass hit the right side of the opponent's penalty area, and Cavani's header was ferried to the middle. Under the interference of Varane, Ibrahimovic couldn't form a shot, so he knocked the ball out of the penalty area with his heel, Shi Hao plugged in to catch the ball, stopped the ball and shot directly from a distance, and the ball flew out of the bottom line by grazing the crossbar.
Real Madrid will not let Paris Saint-Germain dominate the past. In the 22nd minute, Real Madrid won a free-kick when Di Maria was knocked down after dribbling away from Van der Wiel on the left flank. Luka Modric hit the goal with his right foot, and the ball was punched off the line by Sirigu.
In the 26th minute, Khedira broke the ball at the back and launched a decisive counterattack and handed the ball to Di Maria. Di Maria ran 60 meters with the ball, and Real Madrid once formed an absolute advantage of three against one in front of the penalty area, at which time Motta had no choice but to fall to the ground and tackle Di Maria.
Real Madrid's players were extremely dissatisfied with Motta's foul, and rushed up to surround Motta, and the hot-tempered Ramos also pushed Motta. The Paris Saint-Germain players couldn't watch their own people suffer, Shi Hao rushed over and pushed Ramos, almost fighting.
At this time, referee Kujpels ran over and gave Real Madrid a free kick in an excellent position, and decisively showed Motta and Ramos and Shi Hao yellow cards as warnings, which barely resolved the conflict.
It can also be seen from this goal that under the influence of the atmosphere of the final, the emotions of the players on both sides are a little excessive. It's only just over half of the first half, and both sides can't wait for the white knife to go in and the red knife to come out, and if they continue to play like this, they are not surprised to see the red card.
At this time, it is more necessary to test the referee's law enforcement ability, to see if he can calm down both sides through decisive and accurate penalties, and focus on football instead of focusing on black feet and muscle confrontation.
Cristiano Ronaldo unsurprisingly stood in front of the ball and took the free-kick in a great position. After observing the arrangement of the human wall, he opted to shoot directly with his right foot. The defoliant ball he threw went around the wall and fell at great speed, but the angle was not particularly tricky, and it was held firmly by Sirigu.
