May 20, 2012.

The Allianz Arena was unprecedented, and all the famous names in German football came to watch the Champions League final, and Bayern Munich fans occupied a large number of the stadium stands, almost three times more than Liverpool fans!

The stadium reverberated with the cheers of Bayern Munich fans!

After the cultural and artistic activities before the Champions League final, the starters of both sides of the game took the hands of the little ball boy and walked into the stadium.

The magnificent Champions League theme song sounded.

The players of the two teams lined up in the stadium with their heads held high, looking majestic and ready for a big battle.

"The 2011-2012 Champions League final is about to begin, and this season's Champions League final is at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, which is the home of FC Bayern Munich, and this year they have reached the Champions League final as they wished, where Heynckes' German chariot will take on the Reds Liverpool, the champions of the past two years!

If Liverpool can win the championship, it will become the first team to win three consecutive Champions League titles, which is also a rare situation in the history of football, in the past Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Ajax have done such a feat, Liverpool is expected to become the fourth super team to win the Champions League for three consecutive years!

There are also a number of individual records that could be broken in this game.

If Liverpool wins the championship, Qin Xiong and Raul will become players who have won the Champions League six times!

They will be on par with Real Madrid's legendary Gento for more titles, which is a great record!

But Bayern Munich will certainly want to keep the trophy on their doorstep.

Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Bayern Munich started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer.

Defenders: Lahm, Boateng, Tymoshchuk, Kontento.

Midfielders: Arjen Robben, Schweinsteiger, Muller, Kroos, Ribery.

Forward: Gomez.

Liverpool started 442.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Thiago Silva, Baines.

Midfielders: Gerrard, Mascherano, Alonso, Tiot.

Forwards: Suarez, Qin Xiong.

The kick-off ceremony has ended, and with the enthusiastic cheers of the Allianz Stadium fans, the game will start immediately, and Liverpool will kick off first. ”

Qin Xiong and Suarez stood in the middle circle, and the world's high-profile Champions League final is about to begin.

Bayern Munich coach Heynckes and Liverpool coach Koeman stood on the sidelines to supervise the game.

Liverpool recalibrated their formation before kick-off.

From 442 to 433.

One of the variables is Gerald.

This is decided based on the opponent's starters.

With Lahm able to play on both the left and right flanks, he can play well with either Arjen Robben or Ribery on the wing.

Therefore, Liverpool should be targeted to contain Bayern Munich's wing attack.

If Lahm plays left wing-back, then Steven Gerrard will play as a central midfielder and the formation will remain unchanged at 442.

But in fact, Lahm plays right wingback, so that Qin Xiong can move to the left winger position, which can greatly suppress Lahm and make Robben not get enough support.

At the same time, Steven Gerrard moved to the right winger position to focus on Contento, the weak link in Bayern Munich's full-back.

This was arranged in Liverpool's pre-match tactical development.

Change according to the actual situation.

The race is on.

Liverpool first held the ball steadily in midfield and then launched a wave of attacks in the third minute of the game.

Mainly on the right flank, Gerrard received a pass from Alonso on the right side of the field and collided with Suarez on the front line.

The Reds captain cut into the box before Contento could turn and then volleyed diagonally into the back of the net.

Germany's new goalkeeper Manuel Neuer pounced with one palm to block the ball off the line.

Bayern Munich suffered from Liverpool's strong attacking pressure at the beginning!

This is also the passivity caused by the weakness of Bayern Munich's current squad.

On the back line, one of Kontento and Tymoshchuk is inexperienced, the other is a cameo in the center of the back, and the back Schweinsteiger is not as purely defensive as Mascherano, not to mention Kroos, who is very similar to Alonso, but is not an absolute defensive midfielder.

In this way, Bayern Munich's backline can allow Liverpool to do a lot of things.

Liverpool started the game on the right flank.

Ribery and Robben are two wingers who have a low contribution to the defense, which makes Bayern Munich's backline very passive.

Coman pays more attention to midfield defense today, after all, the combination of Ribery and Robben shocks Europe, the double back combination of Tiot and Mascherano and Alonso also has considerable defensive strength in the back-to-back organization, that is, to draw out a midfielder to be able to help defend the wing at any time, contain Bayern Munich's wing, and the penetration play of the combination of the side and the center.

Gomez is strong as a striker, but as long as Thiago Silva doesn't get blown up the flanks, it will be easy for him and Skrtel to keep Gomes in the spotlight.

Bayern Munich's midfield control is also good.

Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Muller, plus two individual attacking players.

Bayern Munich's attack is also not to be underestimated in European football.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Kroos played Schweinsteiger in front of the field, Robben completed a triangle pass, and then he suddenly slashed the ball in front of the penalty area.

Muller shot straight at goal without stopping in front of Thiago Silva and the ball went over the crossbar.

Three minutes later, Liverpool continued to play on the right, but excessively from the left.

After three passes and two downs in the midfield, Qin Xiong sent a cross with an outside instep on the left side.

Suarez and Gerrard crossed the run, Suarez around the back point barely volleyed at the back of the penalty area, the football grazed the outside of the post and hit the side netting, for a moment, Bayern Munich fans thought the ball was in!

Liverpool's defence at the back was very solid today, with the combined defence between the players containing Bayern Munich's wide combination.

Robben made two consecutive attempts to break through the ball in the space of 10 minutes, one was forced into the baseline by Baynes to poor effect, and the other was cut off by Tiot.

It wasn't until the 34th minute of the game that Robben got a chance to kick in front of the penalty area, but he barely got up in the gap, and the ball flew in an arc to the far corner of the goal, but finally slid out of the goal.

Ribery was a little quiet on the left, his individual ability was not as sharp as Robben's, and under the control of Johnson and Mascherano, he was neither supported by Contento at the back nor supported by Muller, which left him repeatedly caught in the trap.

Liverpool, for their part, created a great chance in the 37th minute of the first half.

Alonso suddenly pressed and forced Schweinsteiger and Kroos to defend in the middle of the pitch, and before the pack was formed, Alonso sent a threatening through ball! (To be continued.) )
