"Friends in front of the TV, welcome to the final of the UEFA Champions League in the 06-07 season!"

"We are now broadcasting live from the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, where the much-anticipated final will be held, and sitting next to me are two of the biggest names in world football, Dutch football legend Johan Brown. Cruyff, as well as Arsenal manager Arsène. Wenger. In the next nearly two hours of competition, the three of us will comment and explain the game for you. ”

"Hello everyone, I'm John. Cruyff. ”

"I'm Arsene Wenger, hello audience."

This is a live broadcast of the game directly facing the world, and the commentator waited until the two commentators finished greeting the fans, and immediately shouted excitedly: "The two teams facing off today are from different leagues, it is not the traditional Premier League giants Liverpool, and the Spanish giants Barcelona!" ”

"I believe that all fans will be familiar with these two teams. Liverpool once dominated an era of European football, and Barcelona also won the St. Bride Cup with a smile on Europe. Now, two veteran powerhouses who have been away from the Champions League for a long time have finally faced off, and this is destined to be a wonderful game! ”

As he spoke, he saw the players of the two teams in the referee Herbert. Under the leadership of Van Del, they each took the hands of the little caddies and walked out of the players' tunnel.

Inside the Olympic Stadium, deafening shouts were immediately heard.

The scene of the final is unprecedented!

"The two teams came out of the pitch one after another, and we saw that. Barcelona wear a red and blue shirt, the club's signature traditional colour, while Liverpool wear the more familiar red. ”

After the enthusiastic opening ceremony. All the fans sat down, and then the guessing and serving began, and Liverpool got the serve, so the players of both teams went back to their own halves and lined up.

The referee, Tottenham Hotspur, walked to the centre circle, looked at his watch and immediately blew the whistle for the start of the game.

"The race is on. Liverpool won the serve, Torres kicked the ball to Villa, who knocked it back to Xavi behind him. Alonso. Alonso knocked back to Makelele, who kicked forward and Kuyt sprinted forward! ”

Lucio grabbed the first spot and cleared the ball with a header. Given to Ram. Forward ...... Messi, facing Traoré, led to the middle, handed over to Ibrahimovic, back pass, Xavi, through ball! ”

Then I heard the referee "beep" and blew the whistle. Cristiano Ronaldo signaled to Barcelona that he was offside.

'It was a very clear offside and the linesman was aware of it.

'Liverpool's quick kick-off. Hyypia, given Traore, in the face of Messi, Traore failed to find a breakthrough opportunity, crossed to Makelele, and then to Xavi. Alonso, he passed to Villa. ”

Huluwa pulled to the left, carried Lahm with her body, took the ball with her back, took two steps back, and then passed to Torres, but Puyol grabbed ahead of Liverpool's number 9 and poked the ball away, and Ballack passed the ball directly to Lucio. ”

"Liverpool's front court pressed fiercely, Lucio had no choice, passed back to Buffon."

Buffon just raised his hand to signal to steady, but soon, Villa rushed up quickly and harassed Buffon, forcing the Italian goalkeeper to pass the ball directly with his big foot, and the ball fell to the front, but was controlled by the Liverpool player at his feet.

The game had just entered the second minute, and possession had already been converted back and forth several times in a row.

"We can see that both teams did not play conservatively after the start, both adopted this open style of play, and judging from the past tables of Liverpool and Barcelona, neither team is a conservative team, so this game is likely to be a good matchup."

Liverpool's start was also a little rushed, the offense was a little too fast, and more attempts were made to pass the medium and long passes with a low success rate, and Barcelona attached great importance to the defense of the two ribs in this game, and Qiao Wanxian also gave special advice before the game, so the success rate was not very high.

This time Harvey. Alonso tried to pass a through ball, but Villa fell to the ground before it could be started, and the referee hesitated, did not blow for a foul, and signaled for the game to continue.

Rahm won the ball and played a quick pass to Lucio, who made a diagonal pass to the left.

Ashley Cole got the ball and kicked forward quickly, and soon entered Liverpool's half, Ronaldo retreated to receive the ball for the first time, driving Liverpool's right-back Finnan, and also attracted Makelele, who followed the defense, and then knocked back with a backheel.

"Beautiful! Two players on the left side of Barcelona completed a wonderful two-one, Ashley Cole quickly dribbled the ball, there were no defenders in front, the low flat ball passed to the penalty area, Ibrahimovic stopped the ball, knocked lightly, turned around and got rid of Carragher, and shot directly with his feet! ”

"Reina! Reyna saves Ibrahimovic's shot straight at goal! ”

"Very good shots, very good saves!"

"This is the first shot of the game, which happened in the 5th minute, Ibrahimovic stopped the ball near the penalty spot and got rid of it directly, but unfortunately the angle was a little positive, and it was directly saved by Reina, and Liverpool escaped!"

On the pitch, Ibrahimovic was seen falling in the penalty area after getting up because of his body losing balance, getting up from the ground and giving a thumbs up to Ashley Cole on the left.

Obviously, it was a very good chance, but in a hurry, he stopped the ball and turned to get rid of it, and he got straight to his feet, a little uncontrollable, and although he hit the right angle, he couldn't threaten.

Cruyff also loudly praised Barcelona's attack, especially for Ashley Cole, as for Ibrahimovic's appearance, the Barcelona godfather refused to comment.

He had always been dissatisfied with Ibu's cousin.

It was Arsene Wenger who was full of praise for Ibrahimovic.

"The Swedish striker's ability to stop the ball is really good, quite solid. You see, when he stopped the ball, the ball touched his foot, and it almost didn't bounce, and he had already thought about the position of the ball in advance, so he stopped the ball and knocked it. After turning away, the ball stopped in the most comfortable position for him to kick the goal, and Carragher had no way to stop him. ”

"It was a shot that didn't get past Liverpool. It's a bit of a pity, but Barcelona's attacking ability is really good, and as long as they continue to maintain this rhythm and attack after the opening, I think Liverpool are quite dangerous. ”

Soon, Barcelona played another round of attack, and Lahm stepped forward and got Messi's knockback. At the front of the opponent's 30-meter area, suddenly a large area was transferred, and the ball was passed diagonally to the left side of the opponent's penalty area. Ibrahimovic didn't know when he pulled to the left side, and after stopping the ball on his chest, he made a low left-footed cross to the top of the arc of the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo slid quickly into the box, but after the ball was stopped. Immediately caught in the flanking attack of Makelle and Carragher. In the end, he couldn't bring the ball out of the two shots, and the opponent defused the attack.

If it had been placed in the past, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had used Shengyuan No. 1, would definitely be able to pick out the ball and finish the goal, or at least he could control the ball at his feet.

Obviously, in this kind of Champions League final, although Ronaldo looks relaxed, he is inevitably still nervous. The body is doing something that can't let go.

Soon, less than a minute. Barcelona are attacking again!

Messi faced Traore on the right side, and once suddenly the ball was divided, directly past Traore's defense, and after bursting into the penalty area, he hit a powerful volley with his left foot, Reina had already taken precautions this time and saved the ball off the bottom line.

"Corner, it was the first corner of the game."

After Pirlo high-fived Messi, he quickly ran to the corner spot, but this time Barcelona did not directly take the corner, Pirlo quickly kicked the corner to the receiving Lahm, who suddenly went down to the bottom line after winning the ball and passed a cross.

Ballack leaped high to get the first point, but the next shot was interfered with by Carragher and flew into the stands.

This attack directly made the 20,000 Red Army fans at the scene break out in a cold sweat and burst out with a "buzz".

"Barcelona have a lot of attacking tools, passing with penetration, wide transfers, wide breaks, and even set-piece tactics, which are all good at Barcelona's attack. From the opening to now, in less than 10 minutes, Barcelona has played different attacking combinations, which is indeed very exciting. ”

Cruyff is an advocate of attacking and possession, although Barcelona do not have much possession at the moment, but the attack is very threatening, and he is willing to invest in the attack, coupled with the excellent technical skills of the players, the game is pleasing to the eye.

Arsene Wenger also believes that Barcelona had a certain advantage after the opening: "But we must also note that Benitez has clearly done a lot of preparation in defence, and in this game Liverpool deployed two midfielders, Xavi. Alonso and Claude Makelele, with Makelele frequently returning to the backline to participate in the defense, is to ensure that the defence is not pulled by the Barcelona trident. ”

"From the field, Barcelona is attacking fiercely, but it is too fast, and the mentality of the players is a little impatient. Liverpool, on the other hand, tried to pass the ball more directly after the opening period, but quickly adjusted and began to stabilize their position. So, the situation is not very clear now, and it is difficult to judge how the situation will change. ”

Arsene Wenger had a reason for this, because in that game at the Emirates Stadium, Liverpool relied on such tactics to beat Arsenal 3-0 and knock Arsene Wenger's side out of the competition.

Qiao Wanxian obviously realized something, walked to the side of the pitch to command, the pace of the game began to slow down appropriately, and Barcelona got possession.

"Okay, now we finally have the opportunity to introduce to you the starting lineups of both teams in this game, both teams played very intensely after the opening, the pace was very fast, and we were a little overwhelmed."

'Barcelona's starting game is still their 4-3-3 strategy, with Buffon in goal, Ashley Cole, Puyol, Lucio and Lahm at the back, Pirlo, Ballack and Xavi in midfield, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Messi up front.

Liverpool also started 4-3-3, with Reyna in goal, Traore, Carragher, Hyypia and Finnan in defence, and Makelele, Colwill and Xavi in midfield. Alonso, the front trident is Villa, Torres and Kuyt. ”

The commentator seemed to be in a hurry, because the game situation was full of twists and turns, and he played a fast-paced attack battle for ten minutes in a row after the opening. In particular, Barcelona has launched attacks on Liverpool again and again, which makes people a little overwhelmed.

"From the opening to now, we have seen that Barcelona are more dangerous in attack. Fortunately, Liverpool's defence is also leaky, and it is difficult to see how the situation will ...... right now.

Before the commentator finished speaking, he saw that there was a mistake in the Barcelona midfielder's pass, which was originally the ball that Pirlo was going to pass to Xavi, but it was suddenly cut off by Makelle and stabbed Xavi directly. Alonso, who turned after winning the ball. Straight and quick long passes.

The ball passed almost in a straight line, precisely between Lahm and Puyol. Villa starts quickly from a thirty-meter area. Sprinting through the middle of the two defenders.

After Villa got the ball, it was an emergency stop, and Puyol reacted very quickly, immediately adjusting his center of gravity, and seeing that Villa was about to get up. He immediately made the move of flying to block.

Villa's right foot swing is not very large. But the force was very strong, and before Puyol could grab it, the ball was like a precision-guided missile, and quickly shot into the upper right corner of the goal.

Buffon has always been very focused, especially after seeing Villa's successful counter-offside, counter-attacking to the edge of his own penalty area, which has already entered the range of Huluwa, so he is very careful. And when he saw Villa get up, he quickly judged the way of the ball. Jump up.

It's a shot aimed at the top right corner, which is the dead end for almost all right-handed goalkeepers, because the top right corner of the goal is just to his left with his back to the goal, so it's hard for the right-handed goalkeeper to save in the opposite direction.

But Buffon is Buffon in the end, almost a save against the principles of physics, his left hand grabbed the ball with one hand before it went into the net, blocking the ball!

"Boom!"

When the players in the field saw Buffon's wonderful flying save, they all subconsciously burst out in amazement, and on the court, Buffon did not enjoy the glory of the successful save after landing, and directly made another side pave......

However, just as Buffon was about to press the ball under him, a long blond hair and a red figure appeared in the Barcelona penalty area!

I saw that he took the lead, picked a half-high ball lightly, crossed Buffon who fell to the ground, and jumped into the net!

“gooooooooooo…… ooooooal！！！！！ ”

"God, the situation has suddenly changed! Liverpool scored, and it was Liverpool who scored! ”

'In the 15th minute, Liverpool knocked on Barcelona first, and it was a sudden goal, from Villa's sudden kick to Torres's missed shot in the box, the whole process was full of drama, but ...... But it was a goal! ”

After Torres scored, he quickly rushed out of the Barcelona penalty area, waving his arms along the way, and his long golden hair was undoubtedly the favorite color of all Reds female fans at this moment.

Fernando. Torres, once again a Liverpool hero!

When Rafael Benitez brought him in from Chelsea at a huge cost this summer, he was criticised by many conservatives at the time, but the result?

Not to mention the basket of goals he scored this season, but the three goals against Arsenal in the semi-finals and the opening goal in this final kept everyone shut.

Torres is definitely the soul of the Liverpool team!

On the pitch, everyone up and down Liverpool rushed to the sidelines, hugged Torres tightly and congratulated him on opening the scoring for the team.

"Torres, he deserves to be praised by Benitez as the best center forward in the world! He has performed very well at Liverpool this season, and is known as a player with the blood of the Reds in his bones, he is very strong in fighting spirit and has a strong desire to win! ”

"The ball just now, if it were replaced by other players, maybe he wouldn't have chased it at all, but he still chased it into the penalty area, and finally gave him the opportunity to pick up the missed shot!"

Judging from the repeated replays in slow motion, Lucio did not follow Torres at the back post for the first time, which was indeed a mistake, but it is difficult to blame anyone for such a conceded goal.

"Just like I said earlier, Barcelona is playing a little anxious, Joe Cannon wants to slow down, but there are many players who are still thinking about scoring as many goals as possible, and Barcelona's players are still younger."

Arsene Wenger sighed and analysed the current situation at Barcelona. He is all too familiar with such a scene, which is simply a replica of Liverpool's 3-0 victory over Arsenal in the semi-final.

"Judging from the current situation, conceding the goal first, this is very, very bad for Barcelona, especially considering their psychological ability, I think now Barcelona should do their best to adjust their tactics and stabilize the situation first."

Sure enough, as Wenger expected, Qiao Wan comforted the players as soon as he lost the ball, and asked the team to keep the formation compact, retreat in an orderly manner, and stabilize the situation first.

However, Benitez was obviously full of self-confidence, and began to be unforgiving, pressing on it vigorously, obviously to use the momentum of the first voice to suppress Barcelona in one go. (To be continued......)
