All-around center

In the Kiev Olympic Arena, the live commentary position is arranged in the recessed position on the tenth floor.

The surrounding area was isolated with glass to isolate some sound waves, but due to the intense cheering at the scene, the effect of these soundproof glass was not too obvious.

Krausiewicz sat in front of the commentary box, sorting out the data in his hands, and from time to time turned his head to look at the court through the glass window.

In another hour, the game will start.

This is the European Cup final!

"Camera check completed!"

"Line check completed!"

"There is no instruction to change the signal in China yet!"

The staff were busy making arrangements for the live broadcast of the game. Their voices were very excited, and many of them even had a hint of trembling.

In response, Krausiewicz couldn't help but smile.

In 2008, when they broadcast the final for the first time, he was equally nervous.

Of course, I am very nervous now!

"Your water!"

A young staff member handed Krausiewicz a bottle of water.

But because he was too nervous, before Krausiewicz could reach out his hand, the other party let go of the water bottle, which fell directly to the ground.

"sorry!"

The young man said quickly.

Krausiewicz did not blame him. Instead, he stood up with a smile, picked up the water bottle, and asked, "Are you nervous?"

The staff member nodded, pointed to his heart and said, "It feels like it's going to explode!"

"Take a deep breath!" Krausiewicz smiled; "This can provide some relief."

The young man immediately nodded and followed suit.

At this time, the conductor in front shouted: "Boss, the signal is coming in!"

Krausiewicz nodded quickly. He returned to the commentary box and sat down. He adjusted his clothes, put on the special sound-isolating earmuffs on his head, checked the microphone again, and then gave a thumbs up to indicate to himself. Debugging completed.

The director nodded and said loudly: "The signal is about to switch, everyone be prepared! 3, 2, 1!"

Krausiewicz watched the red light on the camera turn on. He immediately adjusted his state and shouted in the highest pitched voice;

"This is the stage for the 2012 European Cup finals. We are broadcasting the European Cup finals live in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine!"

"After 2008, we have once again reached the European Cup finals. This is such an amazing thing, but we still can't relax! The powerful German team is just opposite, and they have become the biggest obstacle preventing us from reaching the top!"

"Tonight, the stage of the European Cup final, in two and a half hours, the champion will be chosen!"

"Let us cheer our soldiers with the loudest cheers!!"

Krausiewicz turned his head suddenly and shouted: "Look! They are coming out!"

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

In the Kiev Olympic Stadium, fierce cheers suddenly rose.

Tens of thousands of fans in Croatia and Germany were shouting loudly.

Under the gathering of all kinds of noise, players from both sides walked out of the tunnel and came to the court to warm up.

The camera keeps focusing on Su Ke.

As the most watched player in this World Cup and also the top scorer, Suker naturally attracts a lot of attention.

"Suker! His performance is as outstanding as ever. From the beginning of the group stage, Suker has been the most critical role in Croatia's tough battles. Suker was an active figure in those difficult games. For Croatia, Suker's Their existence represents their powerful attack!”

"Especially in this European Cup, with Rakitic's outstanding performance, he has shared Suker's offensive pressure to a large extent, which also caused the opponent to become even more confused about our defense!"

"Currently, Suker leads the scorer list with six goals. Let's wait and see whether he can win the European Cup Golden Boot again!"

The camera turned and came to the German side.

"Klose, Germany's offensive arrow is also the top scorer. In the rotation between Gomez and Klose, Klose still scored four goals with his outstanding performance, especially in the rotation in the group stage. After that, entering the knockout rounds, he has already locked in the main position.”

"Klose performed very well in the European Cup. He also scored 14 goals in the World Cup. One more goal will equal the record of 15 goals in the World Cup set by Brazilian star Ronaldo, and even surpass it. !”

"So we can't have any relaxation!"

"The strength of the German team is not only reflected in their forward line, but overall mobilization is also a crucial link."

"Just like what we saw in the semi-finals against Spain, in that fierce game, the German team resisted Spain's passing and control again and again, disrupting their rhythm. For us, we must play well. More rigorous!”

Krausiewicz's tone was extremely serious.

That semi-final really shocked him.

The German team's rhythm control was so good that even Spain's passing and control failed to penetrate the ball. Instead, they were beaten to pieces by the high-position press.

The German team used fierce counterattacks to threaten the Spanish goal again and again.

Although many people say that Spain's loss was based on internal collapse, football practitioners and professional analysts know very well that even without the internal strife in the second half, Spain would have been beaten to death by the German team.

Starting from the European Cup semi-finals, the so-called luck factor has become very small.

Real hard power confrontation is the key!

In the stadium, the players of both sides quickly completed the warm-up.

During the whole process, they did not communicate at all.

Even when Mandzukic and Vukojevic faced their club teammates, they did not exchange any glances.

Regardless of the club, they are opposite in the position of the national team.

They are opponents!

Soon, the players of both sides returned to the locker room for final preparations.

The locker room of the German team was extremely heavy.

Lahm put on his captain's armband, took a deep breath, and said loudly;

"Guys! Come around!"

When everyone formed a circle, they hugged each other's shoulders.

Lahm said in a deep voice:

"I hope you remember what we are fighting for. The tragedy before cannot continue. The patience of German fans is limited, and we cannot fail again!"

"I know very well the feeling of falling in the key finals again and again. That kind of bad situation makes me crazy!"

"I don't want you to encounter the same things, for this reason."

Lahm took a deep breath and said loudly: "Let's win this damn European Cup! Let's not be supporting roles to set off others, let us be the protagonist tonight!"

"Forward! Germany! ——"

Everyone roared; "Forward!! Germany! ——"

Croatia's locker room.

Srna stared at everyone:

"After many games, we finally reached the final. I don't ask you to live up to the fans, but you must live up to yourselves!"

"We train day and night, and win one game after another. We are not here to set off others!"

"Remember! We are the defending champions of the European Cup!"

"How many people are waiting to see us laugh, but we won't give them such an opportunity. Show your fighting spirit and win this game!"

After that, Srna looked at Besic and said, "Coach, you have one last word!"

Besic glanced at Srna and nodded slowly.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Besic said slowly:

"What I want to say is very simple, I believe in you!"

"Most of the players here are players I discovered. Since you entered the professional league, I have watched you grow step by step. I am very proud that I have trained a group of national team players. They are wearing the national team uniforms and fighting fiercely!"

"I am very proud that your growth has exceeded my expectations. You are born to break all the shackles!"

"I wanted to say that you can enjoy this game, but this is a high-sounding statement in itself, which is very irresponsible!"

"So, I want to say."

Besic clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "Win this game and beat Germany!"

Everyone pressed down suddenly and shouted in unison.

"Beat Germany! ——"

In the player channel, an atmosphere of oppression that was so oppressive that it was breathless permeated.

The players from Germany and Croatia stood silently on both sides.

Their eyes were calm, but the concentration shown in their eyes was stressful.

This is the stage of the European Cup final.

The battle of all efforts is for this game.

They came here, and they had to show it without reservation.

"Go out!"

"Go out!"

The captains of both teams said.

Accompanied by fierce cheers, they stepped out of the player tunnel, passed through the arch of the European Cup, stepped on the plastic track, and entered the central stadium.

When they lined up neatly, the flash lights on the scene were connected.

The intense cheers made people's adrenaline soar.

Reporters from all over the world were recording this moment.

Those faces full of fighting spirit!

The final lineups of both teams are as follows:

Croatia (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Subasic.

Defenders: Srna, Vida, Lovren, Strinic.

Midfielders: Perisic, Vukojevic, Rakitic, Modric, Suker.

Forward: Mandzukic.

Germany (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Neuer.

Defenders: Lahm, Hummels, Badstuber, Boateng.

Midfielder: Reus, Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Khedira, Podolski.

Forward: Klose.

"Compared to the group stage, the German team's lineup is not much different, which means that the German team's general policy has not changed. They will not put too much energy into defense, but in this case, how can they limit Suker? This is a big problem!"

"After all, in the group stage, Suker has proved that no matter what, he will directly explode the terrifying ability of the wing. After that game, the German team will obviously not make such a risky move again!"

Loew on the sidelines looked solemn.

He certainly won't make the same mistake again.

But he can't give up attacking.

Therefore, in the defense of the left wing, more investment needs to be made in the wing forward, that is, Reus's retreat.

Reus's retreat, combined with Schweinsteiger's restriction and Lahm's defense, the trinity is used to defend Suker.

This is to limit Suker in the mobile game, which also requires the defensive players to have a strong sticking ability, at least they cannot be passed by Suker immediately, and they need to wait for support.

Ram is also very clear about this, but compared with the group stage, his pressure is greatly reduced.

There is a big difference between sticking to someone and waiting for support and one-on-one defense.

He is confident that he can stick to Suker and wait for support to arrive.

There is not much difference in the formation and tactics on the Croatian side.

Except for the change of formation when playing against Italy, Croatia used this formation to confront the opponent.

This also shows Besic's trust and patience in this formation.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, this game is a head-on collision, and the bonus of routines is not great.

Whether it is Croatia or Germany, they have their own tactical basics, so they will not be affected by the so-called routines, and can only fight with hard power.

The captains of both teams, Srna and Lahm, exchanged team flags under the watchful eyes of the whole world.

The German team got the opportunity to kick off first.

Croatia returned to its own half and waited for the start of the game

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Beep beep beep beep beep! ! ! ! !

Hush hu ... !

All kinds of noisy sounds filled the stadium.

Cheers, applause, boos, etc.

This also proves that the European Cup final is about to begin.

The lights on the scene illuminated the stadium like daylight, and the fans of both sides cheered loudly, giving the players the most intense cheers.

"Come on! Come on! Dad! Come on!"

Suqi wore a small Croatian jersey, held a small flag in Aunt Betty's arms, and waved his arms desperately to cheer.

At this moment, the whistle sounded.

Beep! ! !

The game started!

"This is the final of the 2012 European Cup."

"The game has begun"

"The game begins!!!"

Commentators from all over the world made opening remarks at the same time.

Klausevich also shouted into the microphone; "The game begins! The European Cup final, Croatia vs. Germany, Germany will kick off first in the first half!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

As soon as the game started, Croatia sprinted forward.

Croatia started to press high at the beginning of the game.

"They are coming up, retreat to receive the ball!"

Schweinsteiger yelled, he dared not be careless.

Bang!

Schweinsteiger turned his back and passed the ball to Khedira.

Khedira passed the ball forward to Ozil.

But Ozil did not dare to turn around and immediately passed it back.

Behind him, Modric and Vukojevic were also watching.

Schweinsteiger immediately rushed to the ball, and under the interference of Suker, he passed the ball forward to Reus.

As soon as Reus received the ball, he was knocked over by Strinic.

Ah~~~~

Reus screamed and fell to the ground.

He was not injured, and he could cheat a card if he screamed again.

But the referee did not show a yellow card, but verbally warned Strinic.

However, Strinic was not affected.

"Good job!"

"That's right! That's how you kick it!"

"Don't let them pass it!"

When the ball reaches a dangerous position, it's a foul even if you get a card, not to mention that this time it's not a serious foul.

Looking at Strinic's clean performance, Suk nodded slightly.

What he fears most is that these rookies are too nervous and dare not kick.

But Strinic dared to confront right after he came up, which is a good signal.

Germany's frontcourt set-piece.

Schweinsteiger took the penalty and directly hung it in, intending to try it.

But the ball was cleared by Srna who jumped high.

Rakitic easily unloaded the ball, and at the same time, with his back to the goal, he pretended to turn to the left, and after deceiving Khedira's center of gravity, he immediately turned along the right side and drove straight in.

However, when he just ran to the center circle, the German team's retreat had already arrived.

"What a fast defense!"

Rakitic said secretly.

He wanted to find Suker, but the angle to pass to Suker was almost blocked by the German team.

Rakitic could only stop suddenly and pass the ball horizontally to Modric.

Modric met a pass, and the ball was suspended to the gap behind Boateng, and Perisic accelerated to sprint.

Just as he was about to touch the ball, Boateng suddenly rushed out from the side and knocked Perisic to the ground with a collision.

Ah~~~~

Perisic also screamed and fell to the ground.

But the referee stretched his hands forward and did not blow the whistle, which meant that there was no foul.

Croatia immediately counter-grabbed on the spot!

"Fuck!"

"So much pressure!"

Boateng passed the ball to Badstuber in the middle.

As soon as the latter looked up, he saw Mandzukic and Suker rushing towards him from the left and right sides.

"Clear!"

Neuer yelled.

Badstuber kicked the ball directly, and he didn't care about the ball at this time, just being able to clear the ball was good.

The ball fell far into Croatia's half, and Vukojevic headed the ball to Srna on the side.

Srna received the ball and opened his hands to the left and right.

"Steady! No rush!"

Hearing this, the Croatian players suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the game started, the two sides had a fierce attack and defense transition confrontation.

Huh~~~~~~~

It was not only the players who breathed a sigh of relief, but also the commentator Klausevich.

"Srna took the initiative to stabilize the rhythm. At the beginning of the game, the German team took the lead and launched an attack. We also changed our colors immediately. The rhythm of both sides was very fast and the confrontation was equally fierce."

"At the beginning of the game, the two teams directly entered a state of excitement. They did not give the other side any time to adapt. Every attack was a real threat to the goal without any test!"

German commentator: "This is destined to be a fierce game. Croatia has the same idea as us, which will lead to the rhythm of the game inevitably developing in a fierce direction. In this process, we must be careful of Croatia's sudden change of rhythm!"

The commentators on both sides were very nervous.

On the other hand, the third-party commentator was excited.

"This game is good!!"

"Neither team has any test links. They started bombing the opponent's penalty area at the beginning!"

"The rhythm can be faster! Let us secrete more adrenaline!"

"Come on! Keep sprinting! We like to watch fighting!"
