Chapter 321 Champions League Final
On May 28, football fans around the world will focus their attention on Milan, Italy, where one of the most anticipated finals of this summer's football will be held.
So far in the Champions League, only the two Madrid giants have staged a derby in the final. Today, they will face each other again in the final after two years.
The huge tifos played by the fans of both teams in the stands attracted a lot of cameras, and everyone was waiting for the upcoming big battle. Almost all the management of both teams were present, and many La Liga celebrities and bigwigs were also in the stands, laughing and chatting. For them, no matter who won the championship today, they would be the winners.
While sorting out his equipment, Leandri carefully looked at everyone in the locker room. Everyone was relatively calm. Except for Kroos, Casemiro and himself, the starting players were basically the main players who won the championship two years ago. Moreover, he and Kroos both had experience in winning the Champions League. Fat Tiger also had strong mental attributes and generally would not let down. As for their young head coach, he had won trophies as a player and also contributed a goal that people still talk about today.
It’s not a big problem. The rest depends on bayonet fighting on the field!
"Gentlemen!" Zidane clapped his hands and drew the attention of all the players.
"I'm a little excited. I never thought that we would be able to reach the final in my first season as coach, but later I thought it was natural." Zidane looked around at every player, "Look at the spirit of our boys. We are the best team in the world, with the best players in the world. We deserve to be here!"
"Ryan, Sese...you have done very well, but today I need you to do better, just like playing in the upcoming European Cup, like the final! And our striker, BBC is the best striker combination in the world!" Zidane called on the players one by one, "Seeing you, I believe that as long as we play normally, Real Madrid's eleventh Champions League trophy will definitely be lifted by you! Okay, I'm still a little nervous..."
Everyone was originally full of fighting spirit because of Zidane's words, but suddenly they were a little confused by the head coach's last sentence: Why are you still nervous?
Zidane touched his bald head and said, "I have never dealt with anyone in the name of the Champions League champion coach."
The locker room burst into laughter, Marcelo laughed so hard that he fell into Modric's arms and even arched his back twice.
The staff outside came and knocked on the door to signal the players that they could get ready to play. Zidane patted everyone on the back or butt to cheer them on.
Leandri was patted on the butt and kissed on the ear by his old Zidane. He took the large goalkeeper gloves in his hands and returned the greeting to Zidane, "Don't worry Zidane, we will definitely win today, I promise!"
Just as Zidane hopes Leandri's career will go smoothly, Leandri also hopes that their young coach can have a good start in his first season coaching the first team.
Everyone greeted each other briefly in the player tunnel. Ramos saw Torres next to him with a very serious expression and went up to hug him. As for the others, they basically didn't give the Real Madrid players much of a good look. They were all thinking about revenge.
This summer, Bosque did not choose the Holy Child on the front line, and Torres could not follow Spain to France, so after playing this final, he completely entered vacation mode this summer, which is generally not the result that any star wants.
Leandri looked at the water and shook his head. This is the feeling of youth, pure...
If he didn't know it was impossible, he would have wanted to ship the couple.
Under the watchful eyes of the whole world, referee Clattenburg blew the whistle to start the game.
They are old rivals, so it is natural for both sides to throw away their cover and fight each other with real swords and guns.
Zidane's arrangement for today is to let the players use a more aggressive attack, putting pressure on Atletico's defense through stable control of the midfield and breakthroughs on the flanks.
Atletico Madrid created a chance just 5 minutes into the game.
Koke ran without the ball and received a cross from Saul in front of the penalty area. At the 12-yard position, the alert Pepe rushed to defend almost at the same time.
Leandri easily blocked this light, mis-hit shot with one hand.
Leandri kicked off, Pepe received the ball and looked around. Just as he kicked the ball, he saw Atletico's frontcourt players actively running, and they even successfully intercepted and stole the ball in the frontcourt.
So fierce?
Leandri saw the Atletico Madrid players running towards him again.
It's poisonous, right? Even though it's very easy to score a goal at the beginning, you're too aggressive. Don't you plan to allocate your physical strength?
Despite what he was thinking, Leandri quickly prepared to save the shot.
Torres had just stepped into the small penalty area when he raised his leg and shot next to his good brother Ramos. The ball flew past the feet of Pepe who came over to defend. It was too late for Carvajal to come over to continue defending. In the emergency, Leandri jumped high like a god, slapped the ball in front of the goal line, then ran forward on his knees and held the ball tightly in his arms.
Good boy, it has to be you!
Zidane also put his heart at ease on the sidelines, and then sighed that Leandri was really reliable.
Seeing that they returned empty-handed, Atletico Madrid was a little annoyed but still ran back slowly. Griezmann was still trying to see if there was a chance to steal the ball again.
Leandri kicked the ball directly to the front court with a big kick. He really didn't dare to leave any chance for Atletico Madrid.
In fact, Atletico Madrid cannot be blamed. These players have been holding back for two years, thinking about winning the Champions League trophy one day to show off their talents. As a result, this year's stage is at San Siro, and they thought of AC Milan in the 2006-07 season, when they successfully avenged themselves against Liverpool after the tragic defeat in Istanbul.
If Milan can do it, why can't Atletico Madrid?
So everyone in Atletico Madrid is holding back their energy today. No one knows how they have survived the past two years. Thinking of the daily sarcasm from their annoying neighbors, they decided that if Atletico Madrid wins the game in 90 minutes, they will definitely pay back the money they put in with interest!
Simeone, who was wearing a suit on the sidelines, was even more involved than the players. He was shouting orders on the sidelines. He wanted revenge so much.
The ball came to Modric's feet, and he kept passing the ball to Kroos and Bale to move the ball forward.
But Atletico's defense was also solid. Felipe kept a close eye on Bale, and Augusto also stuck to Modric to prevent him from finding a chance to shoot from long range.
All the shots were blocked, but Modric suddenly stopped the ball and stopped moving it forward but instead made a sideways knock.
Horizontal knock?
Cross!
Real Madrid's midfield commander met the ball and shot it coldly!
Oblak's performance today was equally impressive. He clenched his fists and hit the ball out of the baseline.
During the corner kick phase, Leandri looked around in the backcourt hoping for a chance on this corner kick. After all, this is their defense's forte. Unfortunately, he failed and did not pose any threat to Atletico.
In the 15th minute, Bale sped up on the wing and no one could defend him easily. Juanfran had no choice but to knock the Monkey King down just in front of the penalty area.
A free kick from a well-placed position.
Kroos kicked off, but Xiao Kuan did not choose to shoot directly, but passed the ball diagonally to the middle of the penalty area. Bale received the ball with his back to the goal and headed it to three meters in front of the goal. Ramos, who was alert, suddenly came out and stretched out his left foot before Oblak and shot the ball behind him.
1-0!
The whole stadium was almost on fire. Needless to say, the excitement of the Melco Club was beyond words, but Atletico Madrid was really a bit overwhelmed at the moment. It was Ramos again, Ramos again!
Two years ago, he performed the 9248 miracle in a set-piece to help Real Madrid survive and win the championship. Today it was him again, and it was in a set-piece again!
Ramos and his teammates ran to the stands where Real Madrid fans gathered. When Leandri ran across half the court and stood next to Xiao Kuan, they just heard the fans in the front row shouting loudly that the team was too strong.
? ? ?
Leandri doesn't understand. Have you forgotten that there was a header from Bale in the middle? How can you just match people up like that? Was it you who came up with the pairing of Voldemort and Lin Daiyu?
Leandri pulled the excited Kroos and suddenly kissed him on the face, and then kissed Bale and Ramos on the face. Goal, goal, as long as I kiss all the heroes, you won’t be able to tell who I want to kiss, hehe!
Leandri looked proudly at the person who had just shouted "dragging your feet is an evil couple", only to hear the other party become even more fierce, shouting that he could dominate the whole world.
Cross turned around and kissed the man on the face again, whispering in his ear, "You can only let me 1."
Because the fan was shouting so loudly, Ramos also heard it. For some reason, he rushed over excitedly and shouted, "Ryan, they let me 1 you!"
Leandri pushed the person away and forced him to turn off the microphone.
Get out of here! I'd rather die than be your 0!
Atletico Madrid, which was behind, quickly launched a counterattack. Griezmann and Torres frequently bombarded Real Madrid's defense, but the overall performance of the defense in front of Leandri today was much more stable than before. No one wants to fail at this moment, no one will complain about having too many trophies, and no one will want to taste the tears of defeat and see if he is really bitter.
In the 29th minute, Gabi tried a long shot from the center, but was blocked by Ramos' body.
Five minutes later they made a comeback. Torres cut inside and tried to break through Ramos but was blocked by Shui Ye. When his chance of shooting became slimmer and slimmer, Torres had no choice but to kick the ball hastily, but Leandri easily caught it on the spot.
Simeone brought an iron-blooded and unyielding spirit to Atletico Madrid after taking over as coach. The lag at this time instead aroused the bloodiness in their hearts. For a while, Atletico Madrid's performance on the field gradually gained the upper hand, and the ball possession rate and number of shots completely exceeded Real Madrid. Thanks to Leandri's high and low blocks, the score was maintained.
In the 38th minute, Leandri got up from the ground again, holding the ball that Griezmann had just shot into the goal.
Looking at the Real Madrid goalkeeper covered with sweat and stains, the Atletico Madrid players who had been unable to equalize the score could not help but recall the scene two years ago. They were unwilling to accept that they would fall in the same position and that the tragedy of losing all three Champions League finals would be written in the club's history.
They are strong enough, but why is reality always so cruel?
The two teams entered the halftime break with the score remaining the same, but not long into the second half, Atletico Madrid's situation became even worse.
