Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 208 Champions League Final
For Dortmund, Liverpool coach Klopp is still full of affection.

In 2013, Dortmund broke into the Champions League final and eventually lost to the powerful Bayern Munich. The Hornets coach at the time was the current "Red Army" coach Klopp.

It almost brought Dortmund to the top of Europe. I have to say that this is not a small regret.

Once, the Dortmund team was so close to the top, only a little bit short.

Klopp is the Hornet who left with regret. When he met his old club again, he did not expect that it was already the final of the Champions League.

In the pre-match interview, when talking about facing his old club this time, Liverpool coach Klopp was full of emotions and sincere feelings. "I spent a good time here. I will never forget it. It is an extraordinary feeling to meet again. It is both familiar and strange. I wish Dortmund good luck and my team good luck in the final."

A few sentences contained Klopp's infinite expression. This German with a rough face and an outgoing personality also showed his true temperament.

Facing his past, Tuchel gave this answer: "It has to be said that it is a wonderful fate to be able to reunite on a stage like the Champions League final. I think this game is happy for Dortmund fans. I look forward to the two teams joining forces to contribute a wonderful game."

Without the smoke before the previous Champions League finals, there is only infinite warmth.

Knowing that Dortmund led by Wang Po came to the Stadium of Light, many Benfica fans have already made preparations. They are not Dortmund fans and do not support Liverpool. They come here entirely for the son of Benfica in their eyes.

From this city, this team went out, and in two years, the Benfica No. 80 who met them for the first time and tried their best for a main position reunited with them again.

Benfica fans have a feeling of hopeful success, full of pride.

game day.

The two strongest teams in the Champions League this season meet here.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, pushing the feeling of suffocation before the war to a climax.

Even with the risk of a rainy match, the entire stadium was still packed.

Half red, half yellow, Liverpool fans and Borussia Dortmund fans respectively, the two sides are clearly distinct.

Of course, there is also a small group, that is, the Benfica fans who entered the scene to cheer for Wang Po. They played their own slogan "Wandering home, welcome No. 80".

Compared with the tense finals of the previous finals, because of the coach, the fans of both sides were very harmonious before the game.

Cheer each other up and cheer for civilization.

The decisive battle is coming.

Dortmund's bus arrived at the stadium first.

The moment he got off the bus, Wang Po was full of familiarity. The Guangming Stadium in front of him was the starting point of his career. After so many years, he had witnessed his growth, and he couldn't wait to play on this stadium.

Many Benfica fans gathered outside the field, holding the No. 80 jersey worn by Wang Po.

Such a familiar scene made Wang Po feel as if he had returned to five years ago, with the cheers and shouts of Benfica fans lingering in his ears.

For this city, this stadium, the Benfica team, and the fans, Wang Po can only thank him. After satisfying the fans' desire to take pictures, he quickly entered the locker room to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle.

Warm-up session before the game.

Many Dortmund players took the initiative to talk to the Liverpool coach.

As the current head coach of the Hornets, Tuchel also generously stepped forward to hug Klopp and exchange blessings.

Of course, competitive sports are always cruel, and there is only one champion.

No matter how warm they are before the game, when the game starts, both sides must fight to the death for the final honor.

The passionate Champions League march has resounded through the Stadium of Light.

Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund fans held up the scarves of their respective home teams to form a scarf wall, waiting for the players to enter the stadium.

Standing in the team, the players on both sides didn't say a word, and everyone's expressions were very serious. Wang Po only felt that the air was suffocating and oppressive.

Entered.

The air mixed with the fragrance of earth gave Wang Po the illusion of debuting on the professional stage.

The air was stuffy, and the clouds in the sky were thicker.

Will it be a rain fight?

"Toot~!"

In the anticipation, accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The Champions League final is just about to start.

Liverpool was the first to kick off. As soon as they came up, Mane and Salah's two sharp knives made a big fuss about the gap between the two full-backs and the center back.

The left and right full backs, Arnold and Robertson also attacked.

Even if Dortmund is in charge here, in terms of numbers, it does not have much advantage in the face of the massive Liverpool team.

Robertson, who fell at a 45-degree position, made a two-for-one cooperation with Salah, who was back, and penetrated Dortmund's defense.

Although Salah is not tall, his core strength is very strong. With his back facing the tall central defender close to him, he is already firmly leaning on the opponent, and he does not suffer from physical confrontation.

Robertson, who hit the wall and cooperated with the ball, entered the penalty area with the ball. Facing the blockade of Dortmund's full-backs, he looked up and observed that his teammates had already ambushed and rushed in to grab the point. Just when everyone thought he would choose a low ball or a high pass, suddenly an inverted triangle was returned to Firmino, who was at the top of the arc in the penalty area.

Instead of fighting for the top, the center forward pulled out to support. This uncharacteristic choice of running position made the defensive side very uncomfortable.

After getting the ball, Firmino opened his bow and set an arrow, shot with one kick, and rushed to the corner of the goal.

Fortunately, Schmelzer was brave enough to save the ball with all his might.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool's sharp offensive system had already shown its fangs, and Firmino's shot shocked everyone into a cold sweat.

From the start of the attack to the end, it took only 4 seconds.

Such a quick attack method makes people shudder.

Dortmund's defense is destined to experience strong winds and waves in this game.

The sky has begun to drizzle continuously. The presence of rain will reduce the friction of the ball on the turf and increase the chance of many accidental balls.

Liverpool's corner kick was won by their central defender Van Dijk, but unfortunately, the header went over the crossbar.

Liverpool's opening two-combo attack gave Dortmund a serious blow.

Of course, the Hornet quickly responded.

Schmelzer looked at the ball to the right, where Wang Pola responded.

With the spinning high-altitude ball, Wang Po stopped very relaxed and freehand, as if there was a magnet, the ball landed firmly and did not move.
