Chapter 182: Do You Guess I'm a Smoke Bomb or a Killer Feature? [Ask the bigwigs to subscribe! ] 】
London is certainly more likable in the summer than in the winter.
There is no cold fog and rain in autumn and winter.
Wembley Stadium is indeed a great place to host an important final.
And the atmosphere of football in England is very strong.
Leon has seen a lot of enthusiastic fans in London in the past few days.
On the day of the Champions League final, Li Ang and his team completed their last practice in the morning and were on their way back to the hotel.
I saw a number of local Real Madrid fan groups in London holding banners to express their support.
In the evening, the players of Real Madrid and Bayern arrived at Wembley Stadium in advance by bus.
The fans who were already full and clearly distinguished, immediately made the players of the two teams feel familiar and intimate with the game.
Of course, playing at Wembley, a stadium comparable to the Camp Nou, the feeling of the players on both sides is naturally very different from the usual league and Champions League matches.
Leon is not a European and was not as excited about playing at Wembley as his team-mates.
After looking around and feeling the size of Wembley Stadium and the number of seats, he had only one direct feeling.
Big enough!
Immediately, an inexplicable thought arose in his mind:
"If I can score a goal in this stadium today, how can I celebrate it and get the attention of the whole stadium?"
After this inexplicable thought flashed, Li Ang also shook his head with a smile, feeling that he had been a little inflated recently.
Although he also scored a goal in the final of the Champions League last year, this year's opponent is really not easy to play.
Don't talk about scoring goals tonight, if you can get an assist when the time comes, Leon feels that he will be more satisfied.
After a little imagination, Li Ang still packed up his mood and seriously devoted himself to the pre-game warm-up with his teammates.
The starting eleven lists of the two teams were basically issued at this time.
And the media, who didn't believe the words of the two teams at all, are also proud now.
Karim Benzema and Xavi Alonso looked very good as they warmed up on the sidelines, while Arjen Robben didn't look like he was injured at all.
All three of them were of course named in the starting line-up for both teams.
However, it is not without surprise starters.
For example, on Real Madrid's side, Modric's starting position was replaced by Matuidi.
On Bayern Munich's side, Thomas Muller's starting XI was also replaced by Robben, who had been a substitute in the previous two Champions League semi-finals.
Such a change was unexpected by many media and fans.
It was clear that both teams had a good tactical plan before the game
In terms of the subtle adjustment of the starting candidates, the tendencies of the two head coaches are also reflected first.
After Matuidi started in place of Luka Modric, the duo of central midfielders with Leon could certainly have a better performance in terms of interception and defence in the middle line.
In the first two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals, Robben, who played as a substitute, got the chance to start today.
Then Heynckes' tactical play is not difficult to guess.
Bayern's wings and wing-center combination tactics will be the first to make a move, while Real Madrid will make a fuss about interceptions in the midfield.
It looked like Heynckes wanted to play a head-to-head battle with Real Madrid.
However, Mourinho put the timing of the tactical force in the second half.
However, at this time, the media did not dare to tell the situation to death.
After all, the starter Matuidi is not unable to play offensive tactics, and his ability to insert back is still good.
What if Mourinho is still matryoshka dolls?
The London media, who had been teased by Mu Shuai before, were also cautious and did not analyze the opening tactics of the two teams in advance.
He Wei and Director Zhang, who have been debugging the commentary equipment on the spot, are also quietly discussing Real Madrid's playing arrangements today.
At the beginning, He Wei firmly believed that Mu Shuai was matryoshka dolls, and was ready to give everyone a big job after the game officially began.
But as time passed, after the players of both teams walked through the opening ceremony and finished their positions, he had to accept the reality.
Mourinho is not alive today, he is indeed going to play defense with Bayern in the first half and take the initiative to give up the initiative in attack.
Director Zhang looked at He Wei, who was obviously a little lost in his eyes, and no longer teased him, and took over the conversation and began to introduce the starters of the two teams.
"Bayern Munich's starters today are as follows:
Goalkeeper No. 1 Neuer.
Left-back No. 27 Alaba, centre-back No. 4 Dante partnered No. 17 Boateng, and right-back No. 21 Lahm.
The two midfielders are No. 31 Schweinsteiger and No. 8 Martinez.
The central midfielders are No. 39 Tonik Roth, the left wing-back No. 7 Ribery, and the right midfielder No. 10 Robben.
The central striker is No. 9 Mandzukic. ”
"On Real Madrid's side, the goalkeeper who started today is No. 1 Casillas.
Marcelo is the No. 12 at left-back, No. 3 Pepe and No. 4 Ramos at central defence, and No. 17 Arbeloa at right-back.
In midfield, No. 14 Xavi Alonso dragged behind, with No. 10 Leon and No. 15 Matuidi in central midfield.
On the front line, No. 7 Ronaldo and No. 22 Di Maria are on the left and right wings, and the central striker is still No. 9 Benzema. ”
As soon as Director Zhang's voice fell, He Wei, who had quickly adjusted his mood, also answered the call and continued:
"Okay, thanks to Coach Zhang for the introduction of the starters on both sides, we can also see that the starting formations arranged by the managers on both sides today are hoarded with five midfielders in the middle, but in terms of specific tactics, it may be slightly different"
Before He Wei finished speaking, the referee on duty pinched his watch and blew the whistle for the official start of the game!
He Wei and Director Zhang were both in good spirits at this moment.
"Cushion the table, put the cushion table! Dear viewers, welcome to the live broadcast of the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League final."
He Wei was still reading the opening remarks of the game, and Bayern Munich, who was the first to kick off on the field, had already spread out the formation and launched an offensive on both wings of Real Madrid.
According to Mourinho's assessment of Bayern's combat power last year, and the final response tactics
His strategy of defending first and then attacking in today's Champions League final was a failure.
After all, last year, Mourinho and the whole Real Madrid still thought that against Bayern, they couldn't just think about defending, because they couldn't defend.
At that time, Real Madrid did fight Bayern in two legs on the offensive end, and finally relied on a sharper trident and a strong attack in the middle to achieve success.
However, there is an old saying in Huaguo, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent.
There were some flaws in Bayern's squad last year, which they have strengthened through further run-in and transfer signings.
With Martinez in the midfield, Bayern's two waists are already very strong.
Today's Real Madrid wants to force Bayern in the middle, it will definitely not work.
Coupled with the improvement of Real Madrid's own defensive system and the growth and evolution of Leang, Mourinho made the decision to defend first at half-time and not rush to take the initiative to attack.
Compared with Heynckes, who was more brave and aggressive in tactical arrangement, Mourinho still chose the most secure style of play today.
This has nothing to do with whether he is conservative or not, he only cares about the choice, and with the title defended imminently, Mourinho just wants to win this Champions League title in the most secure way.
And Real Madrid's current strength, the defensive ability of the three midfielders composed of Leon, Xavi Alonso and Matuidi gives Mourinho the greatest confidence.
The trust he put in his players was quickly rewarded in the first five minutes.
Real Madrid's current defensive performance can really be described as leaky, or the habit of active defense and co-defense has been engraved in the bones of this Muhammad Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's players won one tough opponent after another last season with tough defence and sharp counter-attacks, and finally got all the glory they wanted.
It's been proven, they've proven themselves, it's a consistent and reliable way to win the title.
With a shared belief and the ability to make sacrifices for each other, Real Madrid withstood Bayern's slightly direct opening press.
Heynckes watched the first five minutes of the battle between the two teams on the sidelines and was not surprised by the result.
Because that's the level of defense that Real Madrid can play right now.
If there is a question of which team has the most attacking attack in European football at the moment, then Bayern will not make any concessions in front of Real Madrid.
But when it comes to which team has the best defense in European football at the moment, Bayern's players and Heynckes can only admit that they are indeed inferior to Real Madrid.
It's just a statement of the facts, Mourinho knows where his team is strong and Heynckes certainly knows it.
The strong attack did not work, and Bayern Munich quickly played a penetrating attack mode combining the side and the center under Heynckes's adjustment.
If the player in Bayern Munich's No. 10 position at this time is Thomas Muller, then Bayern's offensive tactics may still be concise and clear.
But when Bayern Munich's number 10 player was Kroos, more delicate technical changes came to Bayern's attack.
Leon is growing, and his opponents have not been idle in the past year, such as Tonik Rose, who is currently playing against him.
Last year's Kroos was entangled by Leon, and it was uncomfortable to pass the ball, and the organization was also very uncomfortable.
But this year, the two are in a position again, and Kroos's more calm and freehand way of organizing the pass suddenly made Leon feel tricky.
Because a player like Kroos who really uses his intelligence and passing to guide the team's attacking style, once he doesn't compete with you at all, you use his unfortunate way to limit it.
Leon has already used the defensive style of upper body confrontation and small gestures to entangle interference.
But Kroos was still able to move the ball steadily against him.
Leon's defensive approach was able to delay Bayern's penetration in the middle as much as possible, but it could not be completely stopped, unless Leon fouled Kroos maliciously.
But this was certainly not going to happen, and Leon could not have done so much to win.
Fortunately, at this moment, even if Leon's targeted defense fell into a little passive, he had the assistance of Matuidi and actively sweeping.
Bayern's other receivers are still struggling to advance.
And Leon has always been more observant, and he soon gained a lot of defensive inspiration from it.
After a quick and clear communication with Brother Long, Leon was no longer entangled in the one-on-one restrictions on what to do with Cross.
He also let go of his own half of the pitch and, like Matuidi, his target became all the Bayern attackers on his flank who could catch the ball.
And Kroos, who was not very fast, was handed over to Brother Long, who had dragged behind, to mainly mark the defense.
As soon as Leon's defensive strategy changed, he and Matuidi formed an interception and strangulation combination, which immediately made Real Madrid's defensive intensity in their own half a notch.
Kroos' passing threat was big, but his team-mates couldn't get through Leon and Matuidi quickly.
His organizational role was weakened in disguise.
And it is unlikely that Kroos will try to attack on his own and lead Bayern to a change of speed.
This kind of half-time offensive and defensive situation that is extremely beneficial to Real Madrid was seen by Mourinho, and before he could say anything, Karanka had already praised it first.
"This kid's brain is still as active as ever, he really gave him a chance!"
Mu Shuai smiled and nodded, but he was still more cautious in his mouth.
"I still can't be careless, don't look at this time, our overall defense is more superior, but we can't stand the strong individual strength of Bayern's two wingers.
After a while, we can withstand the repeated impacts of Ribery and Robben, and the overall situation of our half-court defense can be completely stabilized.
And don't forget, Bayern Munich have a lot of long-range shooters on the edge of the box. ”
As soon as Mu Shuai's words fell, Bayern, who had infiltrated for a long time and did not find too good opportunities, was inserted by Alaba who was inserted, and at a distance of 30 meters from the goal, he tried to bombard the goal!
Casillas was very focused at this moment, but it took a little effort to save Alaba's long-range shot from the penalty area.
And just when Bayern's players were still lamenting that this long-range shot did not get a corner kick opportunity, Real Madrid had already taken advantage of the situation to play a quick counterattack!
Modric did not start today, and the first receiver to follow up in the middle was naturally Leang.
Marcelo, who was originally leading the ball forward on the side, encountered Lahm's timely marking and pressure, and naturally it was Li Ang who was looking for the middle with a horizontal pass.
Schweinsteiger and Martinez, who haven't played against Leon for a year, are now chasing back and lagging behind.
It looks like it's a foolproof blocking scene.
But at the moment when Leon was about to face Martinez, Leon, who had seemed to have an average speed before, suddenly exploded and accelerated, and almost instantly surpassed and opened the gap with Martinez!
With such a terrifying acceleration ability, Martinez was still broken through the defense zone by Leon even if he was mentally prepared!
His turnaround speed wasn't slow anymore, at least not in the ranks of the big guys who defended the midfield.
But compared to the acceleration after Leon's outburst, Martinez's turn was like an aircraft carrier turning around, and the movement seemed to be slow.
And Li Ang also saw the timing at this time, and decisively sent a diagonal over-the-top pick!
This allowed Leon to avoid the possibility of direct confrontation with the attacking Boateng, and also allowed Ronaldo, who was diagonally inserted into the Bayern penalty area, to get a very good chance to hit the goal.
After all, compared to Boaten, Dante's speed and physical agility are obviously not comparable to Ronaldo.
If Boateng comes to defend Cristiano Ronaldo alone, then Real Madrid's attack is likely to end with Boateng destroying the ball.
But Dante's movements were just a beat slower, and Ronaldo didn't give Dante a chance to catch up with him and destroy the shot!
After stopping the ball on his chest, he adjusted his step, relied on Dante's Ronaldo to make full efforts, and finally completed the volley side shot!
The shot was almost impeccable from the adjustment to the power.
And the more than 40,000 Real Madrid fans at the scene jumped up from the stands almost at this moment and were ready to cheer!
But a big and abrupt hand that broke into the live camera blocked Real Madrid's goal.
It's Neuer!
Manuel Neuer stepped up in the most crucial moment of the first half so far!
He also almost volleyed sideways, and with one palm he lifted Ronaldo's perfect shot out of the goal line!
The mood of surprise and horror seems to have been reversed between the fans of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
However, at the moment, chaos continues in the Bayern penalty area.
Boateng, who was in a hurry to get back to the defense, watched the football rush towards him, but his position was a little too far away at the moment.
In desperation, he could only twist his body and reluctantly use his heel to make a back-knock like a clearance to the outside of the penalty area.
There is no problem with his choice and the idea of breaking the siege in the first place.
But the problem is that when he knocks the ball with his heel and kicks the ball in the wrong place, the direction of the ball is no longer under human control.
The Real Madrid attacking players and Bayern defenders, who were predicting that they wanted to compete for the football landing point, were dumbfounded at this moment!
And he thought that he would have no chance, so he slowed down his running, and Benzema, who was standing near the penalty spot at the moment, was also dumbfounded.
The soccer ball flew diagonally towards him in a daze.
Fortunately, Benzema, who was hit in the head by a huge surprise, was not stunned for long.
Out of a subconscious leg stretch, the football once again changed the direction of progress.
And Neuer, who just got up from the turf at this moment, obviously can't save Bayern's last line of defense again!
The soccer ball bounced across the line and hit the net at the end!
And at this moment, Li Ang, who also rushed into the Bayern penalty area, has jumped on Benzema's back, and shouted with surprise and regret:
"My assist! I'm out of assists! ”
However, in the huge cheers and hustle and bustle at the scene, Li Ang's excitement and complaining were not heard by others.
Benzema rushed to the corner flag area with Leon on his back to celebrate, and the rest of the Real Madrid players were naturally excited to rush up!
This time, the dramatic development of Real Madrid's counterattack finally had a result that made countless Real Madrid fans excited and excited!
The Real Madrid fans at the scene can finally let go of their heartache and cheer and jump!
And at this moment, Hai Shuai, who was angry at the roof of the bench for this unlucky luck, seemed to remember something after being angry, and looked at Li Ang who was celebrating with his teammates on the field!
Li Ang, who has been defending honestly before, played sixteen minutes in the first half, and he stepped forward once!
He didn't set up Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, and Benzema's goal looked like a fortuitous dribble.
But Heynckes didn't ignore Leon's role in the counterattack.
Without Leon's strong pass and Cristiano Ronaldo's shot, Benzema would have been able to pick up a chance to pick up leaks in front of goal?!
Heynckes got bogged down in a tactical problem that he had to think about.
"Is this kid Mourinho's smoke bomb or a killer weapon?"
