Mister Legend

Chapter 110 Champion, Champion

The summer of 2016 is destined to be a carnival for fans. The four-year European Cup will be held in France, and before that, the final of the UEFA Champions League will also come as scheduled.After a lapse of 765 days, the venue of the game has also changed from the Stadium of Light in Lisbon to the San Siro in Milan. The two sides are still old opponents, but half of the starting list has changed.Real Madrid's side has six main players who also started in the final two years ago, while Atletico Madrid's side has five.

However, compared to Real Madrid, which is plagued by injuries, it is still barely a skeleton, and his rivals in the same city can be called a huge change in the lineup.The super configuration of the double striker Villa and Diego Costa has become the double golden boy combination of Torres and Griezmann, which seems to have faded in attack power, and the sudden emergence of the teenager Saul is also shocking The eyes of countless people.Judging from the odds given by the betting company before the game, the three results of winning, drawing and losing in regular time correspond to 2.46, 3.03 and 3.24 respectively for Real Madrid who drew the home team. Compared with the final two years ago, it seems that the outside world thinks that The strength gap between the two teams has been narrowed a bit.

There have been many changes in the players, but the formation has not changed.Like the last final, Simeone still resorted to a 4-4-2 style of play, while Zizu also followed Ancelotti's model back then and used a 4-3-3 tactic.

When the Real Madrid coach announced the starting lineup at the pre-match press conference, it caused quite a stir in the media, because the starting lineup with an average age of 28 years and 175 days is the oldest record in the Champions League final in the past ten years. I am questioning whether this year's game will become a replica of two years ago, but this time the one who is physically dragged down by the opponent may become Real Madrid.

Of course, these figures and statistics have nothing to do with Li Modi who has entered the spectator mode.He came to Milan on a flight with Qi Zu's family. After resting in the hotel for a while, he met his golfer who rushed over - Rafael who had to withdraw from the French Open two days ago because of a wrist injury. Nadal.Yes, the Castilla coach found an opportunity to give away another ticket at the last moment, using it to comfort his friend who lost his tenth French Open title and created his worst performance at Roland Garros , should be the most suitable gift.

The two briefly chatted about the injury of their left hand, and after predicting the situation of the game tonight, they left Li Moody's room together, and came to the lobby to meet Veronica and four boys who looked like four Russian dolls. , and drove to the stadium together.There are still two hours before the official start of the game at this time period. It should not be too crowded when entering the ticket check, and there is still some guarantee in terms of safety.

After arriving at the parking lot, he followed the steps of buying snacks, queuing, checking tickets, and entering the field. Everything was calm, but after entering the stadium, the Castilla coach suddenly became excited.This is San Siro/Meazza!One of the holy places of football!Ever since he saw the live video of Serie A on CCTV for the first time when he was a child, Li Moody fell in love with this country full of romance and melancholy.The Dutch Three Musketeers, the German Troika, the "Pulsatilla" Ravanelli, the "bald" Lombardo, and the later famous Baggio and Batty. Of course, the god in my heart is indispensable-Diego Mar Radonna!These names and memories, which are still familiar after nearly 30 years, accompanied him through his wonderful childhood, adolescence and youth, until the complete demise of the "Little World Cup".In those years when he was obsessed with Serie A, this stadium was undoubtedly his favorite. Van Basten, Klinsmann, Gullit, Maldini and Baresi were all idols in his heart , and finally got the chance to come here in person, how can he still maintain a normal mind?
While he was sitting in his seat, a large number of fans had gradually poured into the stadium. According to reports, [-] tickets were sold for today's final. It was indeed a rare big gathering.As the number of spectators increased, the external speakers began to play the Champions League theme song and some famous European music, and the atmosphere in the auditorium gradually became hotter.There was a short performance before the official start of the game. After that, Baresi and Zanetti, the heroes of the two Milan teams, escorted the big ear trophy into the venue, and the battle was about to start.

With the whistle of the English referee Clattenburg, this world-renowned Champions League final was announced.The two teams were very cautious in the opening stage and spent a lot of time entangled near the midfield. It was not until the 5th minute that Atletico Madrid's Koke completed a goal. Unfortunately, the strength was too small and was easily confiscated by Navas.Real Madrid quickly counterattacked. Bale took a free kick from outside the penalty area on the right and went straight to the middle. Benzema made a half-volley shot with his left foot 4 meters in front of the goal. Under the interference of Semiro, he actually made a shocking save and blocked the close-in goal with his left foot. Then Marcelo's long-range shot from outside the penalty area went too far, and the Sheets escaped. .At this point all the Real Madrid fans were holding their heads, regretting that they had missed this great opportunity.

Since then, the two teams have made a lot of moves in the process of fighting, and there are frequent fouls. Carvajal also received a yellow card, which does not look very optimistic.

No. In the 15th minute, Real Madrid took the lead in scoring the goal when the situation was somewhat at a disadvantage. Dasheng's breakthrough once again won the team a free kick from a slightly longer distance.After Kroos passed the ball to the front point, the Welshman directly headed the ball back. Shui Ye, who was ambushing in front of the goal, grabbed the ball in front of Oblak and poked the ball into the goal. 1-0, Real Madrid took the lead to break the deadlock.However, when the players and fans were wildly celebrating, Li Moody hesitated and said to Nadal who was yelling at him: "The ball is offside! Don't rush to be happy, let's see how the referee makes a penalty." Just when the King of Clays thought the ball would really be blown away, Clattenburg signaled that the goal was valid, and waited for the kick-off at the midfield circle. This is really a slap.But they didn't know it at this time. Judging from the slow-motion replay of the TV broadcaster, this was indeed an offside ball, and Atletico Madrid was really wronged enough.

After the re-kick-off, the fans who had expected the game to be more exciting after the balance was broken were disappointed. The two teams did not create any decent offensive. In the rest of the first half, the score of 1-0 was maintained until halftime, and Li Moody almost fell asleep watching it.

Nadal wanted to go to the bathroom for convenience during the break, but was recognized by the fans, and was forced to do a group photo madness. In addition, there were too many people going to the bathroom, which led him to return to his seat after solving his personal problems By then, the situation had changed drastically.

Simeone was still a little dissatisfied with the performance of his midfielder in the first half, so he replaced the starting Augusto with Carrasco at the beginning of the second half, hoping to bring changes to the team.As a result, his goal was realized not long after the opening. Only 50 seconds into the kick-off, Griezmann passed through the crotch on the right side of the penalty area. Torres was caught by Pepe who wanted to rush to clear the ball Kicked from behind, Clattenburg decisively called a penalty kick, and the Real Madrid players were very dissatisfied with this.Nadal had just walked to his seat and before he sat down, he witnessed the process of Atletico Madrid winning a penalty kick. The frustration can be imagined.

Then, just when the fans on both sides were ready to return to the starting line, the referee blew the whistle to suspend the free throw. At the same time, he stepped forward and gave a yellow card warning to Navas who was delaying the time, which made everyone's spirits suffer again. test.Perhaps because of interference from the opponent's goalkeeper, Griezmann's penalty hit the crossbar in the middle of the goal strangely, and Real Madrid was pulled back in front of the goal.Immediately, the white ocean in the stadium began to surge, and all the Meilingers were crazily celebrating their survival. Nadal and Li Moody even hugged each other passionately and shouted loudly.

Since then, Real Madrid, whose morale has been greatly boosted, seems to be gradually gaining momentum, and slowly gained a little advantage in the fight in the midfield.However, Carvajal's injury in two minutes interrupted the good momentum of the entire team, and the famous "Dani Leak" came off the bench in the future.

In the next 10 minutes, Atletico Madrid suppressed their rivals on the field, and gradually caught up with the ball possession rate and number of shots that were lagging behind. Li Mudi kept frowning on the sidelines and had to comfort Qi Zunian from time to time. The youngest son, Elias, who is only ten years old, also sees that Real Madrid's current situation is very critical, and has been yelling anxiously.

Almost exactly the same as in the first half, Qi Zu's team got a good chance to score without an advantage. No. 70 minutes, Modric sent a through pass in the counterattack, Benzema inserted into the penalty area at high speed from the right, but unfortunately his one-on-one push shot was so outrageous that it directly hit the goalkeeper Oblak Real Madrid missed a great chance to seal the victory, and the stupid horse who missed the ball was replaced by Lucas Vazquez after 7 minutes.

Those who waste opportunities will be punished. Just when Real Madrid's offensive was getting higher and higher, and it seemed that they were about to score again, Simeone's team seized an opportunity to tie the score.Atletico Madrid captain Gabi suddenly sent a pick pass from the front of the penalty area. Juanfran's non-stop cross pass from the right side directly passed the ball into the small penalty area. The Belgian international Carrasco, who came off the bench not long ago, grabbed the ball Before the defending Vazquez, he fell to the ground and scored the ball into the opponent's goal, and the one who missed the goal was Danilo who came off the bench!

The goal came so suddenly that almost everyone was unprepared, so the moment the score was evenly divided, the supporters of the two teams fell into a double sky of ice and fire, and Li Mudi was also constantly He shook his head and sighed, and at the same time sighed in his heart: "I said before, this Brazilian is unreliable, how about it! If it were me, I would sell him directly before his value dropped too much. Keeping this guy in your hands is a disaster!"

Zidane, who was equalized, began to look a little conservative. Because he replaced the two main core players, Kroos and Benzema, when he was leading before, the team's offense is very unsmooth now. Coupled with the fact that Bell turned into a wave shooter again, and Ronaldo was also focused on defense, Real Madrid suddenly fell into an offensive shortage, and their ability to create opportunities plummeted.Fortunately, Atletico Madrid also failed to find any opportunities to score goals. After 10 minutes of fighting, the two sides that were not divided could only play 10 minutes of overtime.

Seeing this situation, the Castilla coach can make an extremely accurate judgment without recalling the memories of his previous life. The only way for Real Madrid to win is a penalty shootout. After competing for the goal, it is the safest way to focus on defense next.

Sure enough, in the 10-minute overtime game, Atletico Madrid used their physical advantages to firmly suppress their rivals in the same city. Bell even got tired and had leg cramps after a barely scored goal. Unfortunately, the team has no substitutions. He could only hold on to the place with a limp.And Simeone, who seems to be more scheming, is still holding two substitutions at this time. He successively replaced Lucas Hernandez and Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey. Lippe and Cork, attempting to kill each other for the remainder of the day.It's a pity that they gained momentum and failed to score. Instead, Real Madrid counterattacked several times to form an attack.In the end, the two teams failed to score in overtime and had to enter a brutal penalty shootout.

Up to here, the result of this game is no different from the previous life. Li Mudi clearly remembers that Real Madrid won the No. 11 big ear cup in team history in the end, so he was in such a tense atmosphere Still can maintain calm mood.The family members of Nadal and Zizou, who were already afraid to look at the field, gradually relaxed after seeing him swearingly predicting that Real Madrid will win. Juanfran, who made a free throw after the fourth round, took When the ball hit the bottom of the left post of the goal, they jumped up excitedly.And dozens of seconds later, when Ronaldo calmly pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal under tremendous pressure, the entire San Siro stadium became a sea of ​​white, while the other part of the red and white striped shirt instantly disappeared. For the hell of pain, the tears of this night are scattered everywhere...

After the game, the Castilla coach didn't see anyone, and immediately returned to Madrid non-stop. Two days later, in the second round of the championship semi-final, he led his team to a 2-0 victory over the semi-abandoned opponent. Wukang University has successfully advanced to the final finals, and the honor of the championship is already waving to Castilla not far away.
