Champion’s Heart

During the last dressing room break before the start of the game, Klopp told his players the latest situation: Casillas may make mistakes when throwing high balls, so you should pass more Lob the ball to their goal...

The players did not have any objections to coach Klopp's arrangements. The advantage of this team is its tactical flexibility.

Next, Klopp looked at his players, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: In a few minutes, we will have a fateful battle. After the restructuring from the Champions League, there has never been a ball. I believe everyone knows that the team can successfully defend the title. But to be honest, I don’t think this is a ‘curse’. I don’t believe this. Even if it is a ‘curse’, we are fully capable of breaking it. '! Because this season, we have broken too many 'impossibles'. When we were lagging behind Bayern Munich in the league, how many people thought we could still win the league championship? When qualifying for the Champions League group stage was in danger, how many people thought we could win the league title? How many people could have imagined that we could make it all the way to the finals?”

Klopp's words reminded many players of what they have experienced this season.

Indeed, it is not easy for them to reach the Champions League final.

This season, Dortmund has many objective and subjective reasons to give up, but if they really give up, then they will definitely not be able to stand on the stage of the Champions League final today.

Along the way, the hardships experienced along the way are vivid in my mind, and many people have to admire themselves when they think about it.

...All the difficulties we have experienced in the past have now become our courage and strength. Allowing us to stand in the Champions League final and face a powerful enemy. This is the last game of the season, with only one game left, We can make history. I firmly believe you can do it, and I would be honored to fight alongside you.

Players from both sides walked out of the locker room and lined up in the tunnel.

They looked intently and did not say hello to the opponents next to them, even though there were some teammates from the same national team.

But now is not the time to reminisce.

Outside the tunnel, the live broadcast was broadcasting the starting lineups of both sides.

There were huge cheers for every name that was called.

This is a neutral stadium, and the number of fans from both sides is about the same, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear that the cheers of Dortmund fans have the upper hand.

In terms of fanaticism, Real Madrid fans cannot be compared with Dortmund fans.

After announcing the lineup, Champions League final ambassador Luis Figo entered the venue holding the Champions League trophy.

At the same time, the broadcast camera also showed a group of old people in the stands. Marcel Leif introduced to the TV audience: ...These are former Celtic players. They were invited to watch this final live. They were in 1967 A member of the Champions League final when Celtic defeated Inter Milan in Lisbon and became the first British team to win the title...

After Figo placed the Champions League trophy on the holder, he waved to the fans in the stands and left.

Then the Champions League theme song played.

The referee team at the front led the players from both sides out of the stadium to music.

They're coming out! He Ping, who was commentating on the game at the scene, turned around and saw the players coming out, and he shouted excitedly.

The television broadcast also focused on the main players of both sides.

On Real Madrid's side, of course, it's Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale and the others. The focus of everyone's attention in Dortmund is Zhou Yi.

If there is any player in Dortmund who is almost at the same level as Real Madrid's superstar, then Zhou Yi should be the one that everyone recognizes.

Next is Royce, Mark and Aubameyang.

Yan Min also has a close-up shot. This season is his first European season, but he gave the world an amazing performance. He was just a substitute and rotation player at the beginning, but in the second half of the season, he has become the team's main player and performed very well.

Zhou Yi and Yan Min, for the first time, there are two Chinese players on the stage of the Champions League final! He Ping looked very excited. This is a small step for them, but I hope this is a big step for Chinese football! Nowadays, the attendance rate of China's domestic leagues is rising steadily, and the quality of the games has also been greatly improved than before. But I also hope that There are many excellent players who have experienced in the Chinese Super League and can go to the European League to further improve. Look at Yan Min. He is just an ordinary young player with some talent in the Chinese Super League, but after going to Europe, he has Such a big improvement...

He Pingzhen is a super qualified Chinese football fan. No matter what the situation, he will always think about the future and development of Chinese football.

After players from both sides took the field, they lined up, shook hands, and picked sides.

After completing this series of procedures, the competition will finally begin.

Dortmund won the pick-up, while Real Madrid won the kick-off.

Although the game kicked off at 7:45 pm, because Portugal is at the westernmost point of the European continent, the sun was still slanting in the western sky at 7:45 European local time.

This is very similar to China. Even if it is eight o'clock Beijing time, it is still bright here in Sichuan and the sun has not yet set over there in Xinjiang.

So it is rare that the Champions League final was held when there was sunshine.

Dutch coach Kuipers blew the whistle to start the game.

...The game has begun! Audience friends, audience friends! Welcome to the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final! The two teams are Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid! Both teams wear jerseys in traditional colors, and Dortmund wears yellow Black jersey, Real Madrid wears white jersey. The game kicks off from Real Madrid...

After the kick-off, Real Madrid launched an attack on Dortmund's goal.

The two teams are actually very familiar with each other. After all, they just played against each other four times last season, and they are almost exhausted...

So there wasn’t so much testing, just get started.

Real Madrid had a shot in the second minute.

Their forward Cristiano Ronaldo forced a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball was naturally high...

The ball changed hands.

Dortmund also took advantage of this opportunity to possess the ball and launched an attack on Real Madrid's goal.

And passed through the midfield smoothly, hitting the front edge of Real Madrid's penalty area.

Zhou Yi encountered Khedira's obstruction here and it was difficult to move forward, so he distributed the football to the wing.

Gave it to Yan Min.

Yan Min dribbles the ball to the bottom.

Real Madrid's right back Carvajal followed him every step of the way, preventing him from getting a chance.

Yan Min was almost reaching the bottom line when he suddenly stopped suddenly, turned around, and passed the football towards the goal with his right foot.

In front of the goal, Mark moved smartly, and before grabbing Ramos at the front point, he rubbed the football backward toward the goal!

Ramos failed to stop the ball, nor did goalkeeper Casillas, but the football did not fly into the goal, but slid out...

Oops! No one is following behind, otherwise as long as there is a touch, the ball will fly into the Real Madrid goal without any suspense!

There have always been rumors that He Ping is a Real Madrid fan, but judging from this commentary, He Ping is obviously not on the side of Real Madrid...

Mark - slipped through! Dortmund created the first threat of the game! They almost scored Real Madrid's goal in just three minutes of the game! Marcel Leif put his head in his hands .

Only three minutes into the game, there was almost a goal on the field, which seemed to indicate that this final was a bit atypical...

※※※

Dortmund almost scored Real Madrid's goal, which naturally scared the Real Madrid fans and stimulated the Real Madrid players.

Real Madrid then launched another attack. They directly passed the ball from the backcourt to Cristiano Ronaldo in the frontcourt. The Portuguese jumped high and passed the football to Benzema with his head.

Benzema then moved the football to the right wing. Bell moved forward at high speed. After receiving the ball from Benzema, he kicked the football ten meters away and then stalked after him. After catching up with the football, he was almost approaching Dortmund's thirty-meter area.

Real Madrid's fast attack! BBC's tacit cooperation! the Spanish commentator shouted excitedly. This is Real Madrid's chance!

Bale faced Hummels who came up to defend him, gently moved the football to the outside, and then overtook with speed, and then passed the football to the goal.

Benzema attracted Dortmund's other central defender Papastathopoulos in the middle, but the football flew over their heads and went straight to the back point!

There, Cristiano Ronaldo leaps high in the sprint!

Ronaldo - header!!

He rushed towards the ball and pushed the football into the back corner!

Weidenfeller, who ran back, jumped up, leaned back, stretched his arms, and was able to fiddle with the football pushed by Cristiano Ronaldo.

The football bounced up, grazed the upper edge of the crossbar and flew out of the baseline!

Ouch!! the Spanish commentator yelled regretfully.

Weidenfeller! He made a wonderful save! Marcel Leif exclaimed. He saved Dortmund's goal and prevented Real Madrid from taking the lead in the first four minutes!

A header three minutes into the game went out, and a header four minutes into the game was saved...

Only four minutes into the game, both sides had already created a killing opportunity.

This final looks completely different from those typical finals where players cautiously test each other after the start and do not want to make progress but just don't make mistakes.

It really surprised everyone who watched this final.
