Chapter 702: The Last Battle

And those who didn't know what to laugh at saw the sudden appearance on the training ground in the afternoon, and it was obviously a piece of sports equipment, not just Kompany, who came to see himself and others training, they also understood the reason why Friedman laughed wildly in his office in the morning.

What could be more exciting than the return of the team's most powerful centre-back in the run-up to the final? Especially at present, this team is in the stage where the defense is being beaten by all kinds of people.

Li Yi is very sure to tell you, no!

In other words, Li Yi, like Friedman, was worried about the team's defense, but the result was the same as Friedman.

Unless, Li Yi goes to play central defender.

I believe that with the ability shown by this system, Li Yi became a central defender after a one-way reversal in the past, and he is also the top in the world. At that time, he was so good at all kinds of attributes that he could definitely give the car a striker to burst out.

The question is, can Li Yi go to play central defender?

Or is it that for the sake of this championship, Li Yi simply defined his future as a central defender?

Because of this, after Friedman said his request, Li Yi refused without hesitation.

Li Yi believes that after being rejected by himself, Friedman's dissatisfaction with himself must have gone to a deep level.

But who cares? To be honest, as far as Friedman's caution is concerned, it is not as big as the impact of a Champions League champion on Li Yi.

Fortunately, all the contradictions now, with the timely return of Kompany, can be regarded as completely dissipated.

Asking Li Yi to play central defender is just a last resort. Now that he has a regular central defender, does Friedman still need Li Yi to play central defender? Naturally there is no need, so Li Yi's previous refusal doesn't matter, does it?

"Hello everyone, this is Sky TV.

WELCOME EVERYONE TO WATCH THE WORLD-RENOWNED CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL LIVE WITH ME, I AM YOUR OLD FRIEND JACK.

Well, as is customary, before the game officially starts, I would like to introduce you to the starting lineups of both sides today.

Today, Crystal Palace, representing the home team, still lined up with their usual 4-2-3-1 formation.

Goalkeeper needless to say: Diego López.

The four defenders, from left to right: Zabaleta, Barzaretti, Vincent Kompany, Danny Alves.

Two midfielders: Yaya Toure and Luka Modric.

The three central midfielders are: Gareth Bale on the left, Nasri on the right, and Sneijder in the middle.

As for the one at the top, it has to be LEE.

Well, after reading Crystal Palace's starting lineup, I believe everyone has seen a small change in Crystal Palace's starting lineup in this game compared with the second leg of the semi-finals.

It was Vincent Kompany who appeared in the starting line-up in place of Lescott, who made a lot of mistakes in the semi-finals and scored a brainless own goal.

The only thing I can say about this change is that it has changed for the better.

In terms of Kompany's ability, it is undoubtedly a notch higher than the other central defenders of Crystal Palace. Before that, it was because of the injury that Kompany was absent from the battle for a long time.

It can be said that if Kompany returns from injury, he can play on the court with the usual 4 percent ability, which is already stronger than Lescote, the question is that since Crystal Palace dares to put Kompany on the field, can Kompany really only play the strength of the four cities?

Okay, now that we've introduced the Crystal Palace starters, let's take a look at Chelsea against them.

Today, Chelsea used a 4-3-2-1 line-up in a Christmas tree formation

Goalkeeper doesn't have to say: No. 1 Cech.

4 defenders, from left to right: No. 3 Ashley Cole, No. 6 Carvalho, No. 26 Terry, No. 2 Ivan

Three midfielders: No.13 Ballack, No.12 Mikel and No.8 Frank Lampard.

Two central midfielders: No. 10 Joe Cole and No. 20 Deco.

At the top is the Warcraft No. 11 Drogba.

Maybe the fans in front of the TV don't know much about Chelsea, but I can say a few words.

The formation that Chelsea have always promoted is not the one they used today.

Generally speaking, Chelsea usually use 4-1-4-1 or 4-2-3-1.

But today we also saw that in the face of the defending Premier League champions, two consecutive seasons, three kills of their opponents, knowing that 4-2-3-1 will not have much effect on the opponent, Hiddink simply adopted a change of formation in an attempt to achieve the goal of confusing the opponent.

We can't tell what the final outcome will be because the game hasn't started yet, but I just hope that Hiddink, as a master tactician, will not be cocooned.

You know, there is a famous saying in the Celestial Empire - lift a stone and hit your own feet.

Changing formations on the spot, using a formation that has never been used before, Hiddink's move may be able to achieve unexpected results, but it is also possible that his own players are completely unsuitable for this tactic and then be spent by the opponent.

So...... Hey.

Okay, without further ado, the players from both sides have already entered the field, so let's all get into the game together and find out for ourselves. ”――

"Toot, toot, toot." With the whistle of the referee on duty, Kuyps, the final and most critical decisive battle of this season's European League officially began.

Chelsea, Crystal Palace, both teams from the Premier League, theoretically speaking, the two teams must know each other.

Theoretically, the two teams who know each other so well don't need the usual temptation in the Champions League final. Click is dry, playing the Premier League's addictive fast attack and defense, and the all-attack flow play that can score goals almost every minute.

If someone buys a ticket to enter the stadium to see this, it can be said that he is doomed to disappointment.

Because, after the game started, the two sides did not show their usual style of play when they played in the league because they were also from the Premier League, but they were more like Italian teams than Italian teams, and they played carefully.

This kind of caution, to what extent, look at a set of data, you can get a glimpse.

Before you know it, the game played for 15 minutes.

In the past 15 minutes, not to mention the side of possession, the most important set of statistics, which is also the most closely related to the goal - Crystal Palace and Chelsea, the number of shots on goal, are 0.

After 15 minutes of play, the two sides didn't even have a shot on goal, although there is usually a saying in the outside world, which is called - the nameless game of the competition. But it doesn't have to be like Crystal Palace and Chelsea, right?

Or is it that the fans who bought tickets to enter the stadium today just came to see the various inverted feet of the two sides, and finally tacitly agreed to keep 0-0 until the end of 120 minutes, and finally play a penalty?

If, if not almost all of the fans of the 2 team are present today, perhaps, at this time, they will be able to qualify and leave the stadium early, it is not known.

However, how to say it, the kick is so dull, in fact, the two warring sides are not like it. If you can, Kaka is to attack and then crush the opponent, who doesn't like it?

But you would also say that it was if, in fact, both sides on the field had their last resort.

Let's start with Crystal Palace.

On the side of Crystal Palace, it seems that the soldiers are strong, Kompany also returned in time, the situation is very good, and the record with Chelsea in the past two seasons has also occupied an absolute advantage.

But the root cause of Crystal Palace's delay in pounce is still on Kompany.
