The strongest winger

Chapter 1045 Epic Contest

The 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League final at the new Wembley Stadium is getting closer and closer, and there are hardly any empty seats.

From the perspective of the stadium, the north and south stands are occupied by Dortmund's die-hard fans and Valencia's die-hard fans respectively.

The huge team logo poured down from the north and south stands. The bat of the Valencia team logo and the BVB-09 of the Dortmund team logo are like peerless masters facing each other.

What's interesting is that the two stands where the hardcore fans are located tacitly displayed large posters of their respective banner players. The Valencia fans held up a huge poster of Captain Aiello, while the Dortmund fans held up the vice-captain Feng Xiaoting.

Just like the Chinese media boasted before the game, in addition to the peak duel of this game attracting attention, the current head-to-head confrontation between the world's No. [-] striker and the world's No. [-] central defender is also the appetite of the media and fans.

As in the past, players from both sides of the game entered the stadium to warm up in the 10th and [-]th minute of the game, and the stands of the stadium have been created by the fans of both sides to create a fanatical game atmosphere. They each cheered wildly for the teams they supported.

After a lapse of one year, the new Wembley Stadium once again became the venue for the Champions League final. The popularity of Aiello here is no different from that of the 2010-2011 Champions League final. The moment he appeared on the stadium, the whole stadium seemed to tremble slightly.

Many Dortmund players who came to the stadium from the player tunnel were very dissatisfied, so they tried their best to beat Valencia in the next game, and let the fans in the stands know that the myth of Valencia ends here!

Especially Dortmund's German international Reus, he and Aiello both played left wingers in the Champions League final, so there will inevitably be some comparisons between the two before the game.

But it is no surprise that in the perception of the media, even if Reus is a newly promoted German international, he is still not qualified to be compared with Aiello, because when he was 27 years old, Aiello had already won five UEFA Champions League titles, and there are countless league titles and cup titles.

In terms of the number of goals scored, the two are even more incomparable. Ai Luo scored twice in the 16th round of La Liga this season and announced that he surpassed the historical top scorer of La Liga, Sala, and became the new historical top scorer of La Liga with 252 goals.

When the game reached the 37th round of La Liga, Aiello scored 284 goals and continued to create new highs.

As for the UEFA Champions League goal scorer list, Ai Luo's total number of goals in the UEFA Champions League in eight seasons has already exceeded [-] goals, which is still a new record.

And Royce is a player born in 1989, which means that he is only three years younger than Aiello, but his total league goals and Champions League goals are far behind Aiello...

In addition, the Polish international Lewandowski is also quite upset. It stands to reason that his big four in the first round of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid at home will be highlighted by the media before the game.

But what I didn't expect was that the first character to appear in the media writer's pen would always be... Ai Luo.

Listening to the shouts erupting from the stadium stands, Royce and Lewandowski looked at each other, and the extremely strong fighting spirit could be seen from each other's eyes.

Everything... See you in the competition!

On the contrary, Feng Xiaoting, captain of Dortmund who started this game, behaved naturally. There is always a huge difference between forwards and defenders, because the players who score goals are often forwards, and fans will only remember the forwards who score goals.

As for the defenders, fans choose to ignore them more. Only defenders who have played stably for a long time will be remembered by people.

After the official warm-up time of four to 10 minutes, the players from both sides returned to the locker room and followed the final deployment of their respective head coaches before the game, while preparations for the opening ceremony began in the new Wembley Stadium, which is the obligation of the host of the Champions League final.

But this is not what Chinese fans pay attention to. The focus of Chinese fans is in the player channel.

As players from both sides appeared in the player tunnel, the live broadcaster also switched the camera. Soon, Valencia's captain Ai Luo and Dortmund's captain Feng Xiaoting had an exchange.

Looking at the two chatting in the camera, Duan Xuan, the commentator of BJ Studio, said excitedly: "This is definitely an epic scene! Chinese internationals Ai Luo and Feng Xiaoting represent Valencia and Dortmund respectively, and both of them are the banner figures and captains of their respective teams!! Just looking at the communication between the two, I can already guess how exciting the game will be!"

Of course, at this time, the shot of the goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei is naturally indispensable. After Feng Xiaoting and Ai Luo's hug is over, he actively hugs and encourages each other.

After the start of the game, as Duan Xuan judged before, Dortmund, with the strongest lineup, relied on the advantage of having more young players, running at all costs to make up for their technical deficiencies.

Esven Bender and Gundogan's double defensive midfielders are very stable, and the tacit understanding between them formed after many games makes it impossible for Valencia's unique penetration in the middle to pass the ball.

In addition, Feng Xiaoting and Hummels are both in good condition, especially the performance of captain Feng Xiaoting, which can be said to be the best moment of his career.

The two consecutive confrontations between him and Ai Luo ended in victory. Of course, he used small movements to affect Ai Luo's stopping and dribbling in the blind spot of the referee's vision.

As a teammate from the national youth team to the national team, Feng Xiaoting has a good understanding of Ai Luo's technical characteristics, so he always adopts a close defense when defending, and does not give Ai Luo any space to break through, and then uses the team's cooperation to limit Ai Luo's activity space, resulting in minor flaws in the operation of Valencia's offensive system.

Similarly, Dortmund's offense had a hard time reaching Valencia's defensive half because they put too much energy on defense.

Reus and Gotze, who were ambitious before the game, were busy defending, and only Lewandowski was used as a tactical suppression.

So 10 minutes into the game, it looked like the two sides played very openly, but in fact there was no attack that threatened the goal.

The game lasted until the No. 12 minute, when Ai Luo was adapting to Feng Xiaoting's defensive rhythm, using the tacit cooperation with his teammates to temporarily throw off Feng Xiaoting, and suddenly shot a cold arrow 28 meters away from the goal.

Twelve of Aiello's goals in the entire 2012-2013 season came from mid-range and long-range shots, which are very accurate.

The same is true for this sudden shot, forcing Weidenfeller to make a wonderful save in order to keep the goal.

Looking at Ai Luo who felt a little regretful, Feng Xiaoting pulled up the captain's armband that had fallen off. He knew... This game will be more difficult than he imagined!
