Chapter 140: Champions League Final (2)
Ringer sat on the bench and watched his teammates on the pitch as they prepared to start the all-important final.
The final attracted celebrities from all walks of life, in addition to the senior management of the two clubs and the officials of the German Football Association, there were Alex Ferguson, who had just retired from Manchester United, England national team coach Hodgson, German national team coach Loew, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, UEFA President Michel Platini, International Olympic Committee President Rogge and many more.
Ringer also looked back and saw the young lady and the Bayern players' wives together, waving to him.
Beep~~~
"With the whistle of Italian referee Rizzoli, this season's Champions League final officially began, with Bayern Munich kicking off first."
In the opening game, Dort used their skillful crazy pressing tactics, for Dort, this season is the only Champions League title to compete for, if they still lose, they will have to be empty.
With this mentality, their pressing is crazier and more threatening than usual.
In the 3rd minute, Reuss's cross from the wing, Lewandowski received the ball and turned to hit the goal, which was blocked by Boateng.
In the 10th minute, Błaszczykowski's 15-metre shot in front of goal went over the crossbar with Dante's interference.
In the 13th minute, Reus passed the ball on the left, and Lewandowski's powerful shot near the penalty line deflected Dante, and Neuer was very brave and flew to lift the ball off the crossbar.
In the frantic shouts of the fans at the scene, everyone was easily infected.
When Neuer made a good save, Ringer jumped up with the rest of the bench.
"Well done, Manuel!"
After 20 minutes of play, the Hornet's pressing was quite fierce, Bayern couldn't threaten the opponent's goal at all, but they were in danger in front of the goal.
"Can't Munich find form? They are known as the new Cosmos team, but at Wembley Stadium they were completely suppressed by Borussia Dortmund. Heynckes didn't seem to have anything to do, he kept taking off his glasses, rubbing them in his hand for a while, and then putting them back on, as if there was nothing he could do about the situation. ”
The Englishman Lineker's commentary is a bit of a teasing of Bayern. Lineker is a super plum, Bayern slaughtered Messi's Barcelona in the semi-finals, and he is now a little secretly happy to see Bayern being so embarrassed.
In the 18th minute, Reuss successfully countered offside on the right, but the position was too far to hit the goal, he chose to cross, Poland Błaszczykowski pushed from the penalty spot, and Neuer flew to save the ball from the bottom line.
In the 20th minute, Neuer saved another powerful volley from Reuss.
Ringer was also nervous off the pitch, Neuer was simply the busiest man on the pitch during this time, and Ringer had never seen Neuer shot so badly since joining Bayern.
Looking at Heynckes not far away, he was still indifferent.
Before the game, Heynckes said that Dort would definitely open the game to press crazy attacks, which is something anyone who has studied Dort's tactics knows, and Hai Gonggong asked Bayern to withstand the opening period, hold a draw in the first half, and Bayern have a lot of chances in the second half.
In Klinger's view, this opening was too passive, with the Bayern defence looking shaky and Dortmund looking like they could score at any moment.
If Ringer hadn't known in advance from memory that Bayern could win the title, he would have even doubted that Bayern would have lost this game.
The expressions of the fans in the stadium stands are the most reflective, the fans in the yellow jerseys are smiling, and the red jerseys are all anxious on their faces.
Far away on the other side of the world, in China, it was the middle of the night, and many Chinese fans who were watching the game were also expressing their opinions on the Internet.
"Hurry up to Boss Lin, isn't he a Dotmus? If the final is played like this, if no changes are made, Bayern may be the runners-up league in another year. ”
"How did Dott get so crazy? In the league game a few weeks ago, they lost to Bayern, who were all substitutes, why did this one suddenly erupt? ”
"It's a Champions League final, and no one will admit defeat easily."

On the field, in the 26th minute, Bayern Munich finally completed their first shot, and almost scored with the first shot.
Ribery crosses from the left and Mandzukic heads in from five yards. Due to the proximity, there was little reaction time left for Dort's goalkeeper Weidenfeller, but he still used his fingertips to flick the ball over the crossbar.
Dort frantically played for half an hour, and the attacks were defused by Neuer, and they began to get anxious. Wouldn't it be dangerous if such a frantic attack couldn't break through Bayern's goal, and Bayern rebounded after their stamina dropped in the second half.
So Dort was a little anxious, so Bayern got some opportunities instead.
In the 31st minute, Muller broke the ball in the middle of the field and distributed it to the right side, Robben ran back to form a single knife, a completely empty big single knife, but Robben's final shot was smothered in the face of the opposing goalkeeper Weidenfeller.
Oh~~Oh~~~
There was an exclamation at the scene, with Bayern fans marveling at Robben's missed chance, and Dort's fans exclaiming that it was good they didn't score.
Ringer also sighed along with his teammates, and Heynckes sighed not far away.
Robben is always unreliable at critical moments, which is already commonplace.
In this kind of situation where the opponent is crazy to attack, if Bayern relies on counterattacks to score first, it will definitely be a big blow to the opponent's morale, and it is best for Bayern.
Unfortunately, Robben couldn't catch it.
For the rest of the first half, it was Dortmund who frantically pressed the attack, and Bayern mainly relied on counter-attacks to threaten the opponent's goal.
In the 43rd minute, Boateng's long pass at the back was very sudden, Robben was in the opponent's penalty area, Hummels was out of position in defense, Robben stopped the ball on his shoulder and faced the attacking Weidenfeller, and smothered the opponent's face again.
The domestic network is also frying now.
"Did Weidenfeller steal Robben's wife? Robben had two good chances not to hit the door, and he wanted to slap the other party in the face? ”
"This is called strength slap in the face, and ordinary people don't have such good footwork."
"You have watched the World Cup final, you know that this is Robben's regular operation, the group stage of the kind of game with little pressure, Robben performed bravely, once it came to the key game of the final, Robben is all kinds of running consciousness is still there, but the last kick is not good to shoot, it is just angry."
~~~
The first half ended 0-0, with both sides having good chances but failing to take them, and in general Dort had more chances, but it was difficult to stop Neuer's excellent form.
Manuel Neuer was Bayern's best player in the first half, making five key saves in total, and without those five saves, Bayern would probably have fallen behind at half-time. Five saves were made in the first half, the first time Bayern had been beaten so badly this season. ”
Manuel Neuer was the most talked about figure in the commentary at halftime, and of course the Chinese commentator also had to care about whether Ringer would come off the bench in the second half.
Although the scene was a little embarrassing, a 0:0 score in the first half could still satisfy Heynckes, and he didn't make much adjustments at halftime, just asked the team to try to attack more in the second half, because Dort's physical strength will definitely drop a lot in the second half.
The pace of the second half started a little slowly, and Dort's side attacked a first-half and needed to slow down and regain strength. Bayern were suppressed for a first half and needed to take some time to find their rhythm.
'At the start of the second half, the tempo of the two teams slowed down a bit, and Ringer and a couple of his team-mates were warming up on the sidelines, which could be a real substitution for Heynckes, or it could be a way to confuse Klopp. He Wei of Yang Ma took the time to talk about Ringer's situation again.
In such a situation, the situation on the field soon changed abruptly.
After about 10 minutes of the second half, Bayern began to take the initiative to increase the tempo and seek opportunities, and soon the opportunities came.
In the 60th minute, Ribery instigated an attack on the left side, and the ball was stuffed straight to Robben who successfully countered offside, and Robben got the ball near the bottom line of the small penalty area, attracting Weidenfeller to come over.
"1:0, Bayern leads Dort 1:0, Mandzukic's goal, in the first half it was Dort who played a good game for 45 minutes, but so far in the second half, Bayern's form has picked up, and Bayern should have performed better in the second half."
'Mandzukic, he helped Bayern take the lead, he became the first Croatian player to score in a Champions League final.
'It was a Ribery attack, Robben's last pass, Mandzukic's goal, which is the most common combination for Bayern this season.
All the commentators were talking about the goal, but Ringer was speechless. Bayern are ahead, Robben has an assist, and Heynckes may not be easy to make substitutions.
Who knows that Bayern's joy has not passed, and there has been a change on the field.
In the 68th minute, Gundogan's long pass found Reuss, Reuss stopped the ball on his chest in the penalty area, Dante hurriedly went up to confiscate it, kicked Reuss in the abdomen, and Italian referee Rizzoli awarded a penalty.
Dort's penalty was taken by Gundogan, who deceived Manuel Neuer into scoring the equaliser.
'The tempo on the pitch changed so fast, both teams couldn't score in the previous 60 minutes, and now they have scored a goal in just eight minutes.
After a series of fast-paced goals, the score returned to a draw, and the scene began to stalemate.
"Joseph, maybe we should make some changes." Assistant coach Grant began to say to Heynckes at this time: "Dort are a crazy team, their form has dropped significantly since the second half, the penalty just now was just an accident, then we should find a way to seize the opportunity to end the game, the longer it drags on and when they find their form again, we may be in trouble." ”
"You mean let that Chinese kid go up?" Heynckes knew that his assistant had been impressed with the kid ever since he trained him.
"Why not? He always got Dott in trouble. ”
"Okay, you call him over." Heynckes thought about it for a while, but agreed.
In the 75th minute, Bayern made the first substitution, with Ringer coming on to replace Robben.
"Ringer~~ Ringer he got a chance, Heynckes put him on the field to replace Robben, and he got a chance to play in the Champions League final."
This substitution is nothing to other commentators, whether Bayern want to continue dragging with Dort, or want to end the game as soon as possible, this is normal.
However, the Chinese commentator was very excited about the substitution, as Ringer was given the opportunity to play in the Champions League final.
"After waiting so long, I finally saw Ringer play."
"Boss Lin, come on, go up and kill Dot."

Domestic fans are also concerned about this substitution.
