Chapter 908: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger
Li Chuanqi had just walked into the stadium with his teammates when some of the actors who had left the stage shouted at him: "Li! Come on!"
Li Chuanqi raised his fist and responded, "Come on!"
This scene made the Liverpool players very ...... Uncomfortable.
Damn, does this guy have supporters wherever he goes?
Van Dijk said: "This is Madrid, it's normal for him to have supporters."
This sentence made the Liverpool players breathe a sigh of relief, damn it, why didn't I think of it just now?
Shame on you......
The girl in Li Chuanqi's arms asked curiously, "Are they cheering you on?"
Li Chuanqi nodded and said, "Yes, they are cheering me on, they speak Spanish."
The little girl stretched out her fist and touched Li Chuanqi's fist: "Come on!"
Li Chuanqi smiled, "Come on!"
After a short ceremony, the competition is about to begin.
Manchester City, at the call of veteran captain Vincent Kompany, formed a circle and shouted loudly: "Come on! Come on! Come on!"
Aguero felt that this sentence was not domineering enough, and shouted, "Victory!"
Everyone shouted, "Victory! Win! Victory!"
For a while, Manchester City fans applauded!
On the other side, Liverpool also completed the ceremony, and the Liverpool fans also gave them a round of applause.
Li Chuanqi bumped fists with every teammate: "Come on!"
The teammates responded, "Come on!"
"Whew! ……」
After Li Chuanqi bumped fists with his teammates, he exhaled a long breath heavily, and his eyes became sharp.
This made his teammates standing next to him very uncomfortable, and he felt that he was full of danger.
"Drop! ……」
The referee blew the whistle, and Liverpool, who took the lead in serving, transferred the football to the backfield!
The Brazilian National Sporting Channel commentator exclaimed: "The 2018-19 UEFA Champions League final has officially begun!
Speaking at Sao Paulo International Airport yesterday, Ronaldo said he was more optimistic about Manchester City winning the title.
The reporter asked him why, and he said, "Because I am optimistic about Lee, he is the most special one in the world, as long as he stands on the final court, he has never lost!"
The reporter asked Ronaldinho what he thinks, and he admires Liverpool more, "Liverpool's style of play is more representative of the direction of development of football now, although I like Manchester City's tactical style, but I think Liverpool will win in the end!"
Kaka, who is in the same boat, appears to be cautious, believing that both teams have a chance and a reason to win, and that whoever plays better in the final will win!"
The South African National Sports Channel commentator exclaimed: "After the game started, Liverpool tried to attack with a long pass, Kompany ruined their attack with a header, and Liverpool got a throw-in!"
On the pitch, Liverpool appeared very cautious and did not come out of the nest, but left a heavy force at the back.
City were also very cautious, leaving Sergio Aguero alone in front of him, with the rest of the players retreating to their own half to defend.
With numbers not dominant, Liverpool's attack was very difficult.
In the seventh minute of the first half, Van Dijk suddenly made a long pass to the left side of Manchester City's relatively weak defense.
It's a behind-the-back ball.
Sadio Mane used his speed advantage to get away from Walker, pick up the ball near the touchline, and then play a cross-cross with Wijnaldum, who followed up in the middle, and cut in a one-two!
Wijnaldum's through ball broke through the City defence!
The atmosphere at Calderón Stadium began to change.
Mane was in the middle of Kompany's defense and suddenly crossed in front of goal!
The ball flew like an arrow against the turf in front of Kompany's outstretched toes!
Manchester City is in a hurry!
Firmino was about to stretch out his foot and stab when he was leaned in by Laporte next to him.
This one relied on to make Firmie
Noe couldn't finish the stab and the ball flew towards the back post!
The outflanked Salah became the hope of Liverpool!
Seeing that he could no longer stop Salah's shot, Delph lowered his center of gravity to block the angle of his shot!
Under Delph's block, Salah did not force his foot to shoot, and with a buckle of his right foot, he dodged Delph's block!
A suffocating scene appeared.
"Peng! ……」
Salah raised his left foot and shot hard!
As soon as he finished shooting, one leg appeared on the necessary route of football!
"Poof! ……」
The soccer ball hit that leg, suddenly jumped up and flew towards the goal!
Ederson jumped to his feet, held the slowed soccer ball firmly in the air, and lay down on the turf!
"Coax! ……」
The Calderón Stadium resounded with loud cheers of regret and cheers.
The regret is from the Liverpool fans, and the cheers are from the Manchester City fans!
The Liverpool Sport commentator exclaimed: "It was a successful attack, Van Dijk's long ball created a chance and Sadio Mane sent the ball to the most dangerous place!
Although Firmino couldn't complete the stab under Laporte's interference, it gave Salah a chance in the back!
Salah handled it very calmly, and Delph, who had blocked it, shot hard!
It's a pity that the football hit Laporte's leg and gave Ederson a chance.
It wasn't a goal-scoring shot, but Liverpool played a clean and dangerous attack!"
Manchester City Sport praised Laporte: "At the crucial moment, Laporte stepped up and blocked Salah's shot!
Good Laporte, Manchester City defenders followed one after another, dismantling Liverpool's dangerous attack!"
The German sports commentator said: "Although the number of Liverpool involved in the attack this time is small, they create a threat, and Klopp's attacking tactics are beginning to pay off!"
At this time, the Liverpool and Premier League fan forums are lively:
"It's a pity, if this goal goes in, Liverpool will win!"
"This ball is a win without Liverpool, brother upstairs!"
"Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger! Liverpool are really playing better than the Premier League!"
"Come on, Liverpool!"
The Manchester City fan forum exclaimed:
"Laporte! Pretty! Laporte!"
"Laporte!"
"It's dangerous!"
"The moment Salah got up and shot, my heart stopped working......
"Tonight...... It's not that easy......
"Champions League final, brother, how can it be so easy!"
……
At Calderón, Kompany picked up Laportra and gave him a big hug.
Laporte yelled at his teammates and signaled to cheer up.
Salah clutched his head in annoyance, damn it, avoid one, not the second!
Calm down a little more next time!
Firmino yelled at him and gave him a thumbs up.
Pep Guardiola was not very happy with the defense, thinking that the midfielder had not retreated deep enough, and yelled at the midfielder.
Jurgen Klopp was very pleased with the attack, clapping his hands and giving a thumbs up to Virgil van Dijk and Mane.
The ball finally came to the feet of Manchester City, and Liverpool immediately launched a high press.
The game instantly entered a fierce scramble, and the Liverpool midfielders did not hesitate to do their physical strength and carry out crazy pressing around the football.
The competition on the field is heating up.
City simply had no chance to push football up front, let alone attack.
It stands to reason that they have played a number of games against Liverpool and should have adapted to each other's tactics, but the intensity of Liverpool's scramble tonight was much higher than usual.
