Greenery Reverses The Madness

St. Petersburg Stadium.

Good evening, dear viewers, this is the St. Petersburg Stadium in Russia. The 2021-2022 European Football Champions League has finally reached the final that attracts global attention!

The two teams that have reached the Champions League finals this season are the defending champions Manchester United from the Premier League and French Ligue 1 hegemon Paris Saint-Germain.

Both teams have already won the local league championship. Today, Manchester United is expected to be crowned the Triple Crown. If Paris Saint-Germain wins the cup, it will become the second Champions League champion in Ligue 1 and will also be crowned the Quadruple Champion.

If you only look at the background of the two teams and their past record in the Champions League, Manchester United may have an overwhelming advantage!

But if you look at the starting lineups of the two teams, there is no doubt that this will be a close matchup.

If there are viewers who have not paid attention to European football in the past few years and suddenly watched this game today, they will be very surprised.

Ronaldo is still at Manchester United.

Ronaldo is also teammates with Varane.

Ye Yifeng is actually teammates with Varane.

Messi's teammate is still Neymar.

What’s even more bizarre is that Messi and Ramos actually became teammates!

Now Ronaldo and Ramos will be rivals.

Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams.

Manchester United started 433.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Telles.

Midfielder: Pogba, B Fee, Fred.

Forwards: Rashford, Ye Yifeng, Ronaldo.

Paris Saint-Germain's starting number was also 433.

Goalkeeper: Donnarumma.

Defenders: Achraf Hakimi, Ramos, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes.

Midfielder: Paredes,

Gueye, Verratti.

Forwards: Messi, Mbappe, Neymar.

Although this game is full of stars, if the best team in European football in the past ten years is selected, at least half of the starting players of the two teams can lock in the places, and stars like Pogba, B Fee, Verratti, etc. , looks extremely dim under the light of stars such as Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi, Ye Yifeng, Ramos and others.

Among these stars, Ye Yifeng, the number one super giant in football today, is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.

He is aiming for his fifth European Champions League trophy in his career.

At the same time, his performance this season is generally considered by the European media to be the best of his career.

In other words, he's reaching new heights.

If you just look at the data, his scoring efficiency is no higher than when he was at his craziest time at Atletico Madrid.

But the reason why Ye Yifeng has become stronger in the eyes of many football critics is that he is more mature and comprehensive.

When Manchester United is in the embarrassing situation of having many injured players and no one available, Ye Yifeng can appear in any position on the team except goalkeeper and play a core role.

Fleet Street counts him playing in eight different positions this season.

Centre-back, full-back, defensive midfielder, central midfielder, attacking midfielder, two wingers, center forward.

The comprehensive ability is rare in history!

Because of this, his evaluation among all football critics has risen to new heights.

He redefined the abilities and roles of superstars!

Judging from the cards, Manchester United may not be able to defeat Paris Saint-Germain today.

But the Red Devils fans must have full confidence in their team because they have Ye Yifeng!

Well, the much-anticipated Champions League final is about to kick off, let us enjoy this championship battle at the top of Europe!

Paris Saint-Germain took the lead.

Messi flicked the ball to Mbappe, who passed the ball back, and then the Paris Saint-Germain trident rushed forward.

Manchester United's forwards actively counterattacked and intercepted in the midfield.

Although Messi is over 35 years old, he is still the target of Manchester United's defense.

Messi and Ronaldo, who are entering their twilight years, are facing the same treatment.

In the early years, pundits and fans were at odds with each other about who was the best of the modern era.

Now it's a matter of slandering each other about who is the team's cancer.

But on the court, which team would dare to relax their defense?

Do you really treat them like an ordinary player?

It is undeniable that the strength of the two of them has declined a lot, but the lower limit of their strength is still very high!

Verratti cooperated with Nuno Mendes on the left side of the backcourt and then sent the ball to the left side of the frontcourt.

After Neymar received the ball, he dribbled forward quickly.

At this time, no one is discussing when Neymar will take over and become the benchmark of the times. He is a few months older than Ye Yifeng and has already reached the 30-year-old mark early.

As long as he is alive, Neymar has not been able to live up to the arrogance of his predecessors, but he is still full of the free and easy style of Brazilian players.

He is the well-deserved top player in Ligue 1. In this final, it seems that he is not even among the top three players.

But this will help him perform better and the pressure will not be so great.

During the dribbling process, he stepped on his bicycle and changed directions to go outside to pass Pogba. Facing Dalot's frontal blockade, he chose to pass the ball through the ball. His technical performance was pleasing to the eye.

In terms of skills alone, Neymar is the best in today's final.

No other player displays his skills as naturally as he does.

When he continued to dribble toward the left flank of the penalty area, Maguire's interception caused him to change the direction of the ball again and reach the bottom line, and then decisively passed the ball back in an inverted triangle.

Mbappe followed up in the middle and Messi cut in from the right into the middle of the penalty area to receive Neymar's pass. He shot the ball directly to the upper left corner of the goal without stopping.

Boss Mei has never been known for his strength, but this time his clever shot was blocked by Fred, who was filling in.

Paris Saint-Germain fans are extremely excited.

It seemed that Manchester United could not stop their attack at all.

In this star-studded final, there is no doubt that the defenses of the two teams are under the greatest pressure.

Anyone who looks at the other side looks like they have bumped into Wang Zhao!

After Paris Saint-Germain took a tactical corner kick, the Tridents were all on the outside and did not go deep into the penalty area. When Nuno Mendes made a cross from the wing, the Tridents moved into the penalty area together to attack the area behind the defense.

As a result, De Gea attacked and grabbed the ball first.

De Gea immediately threw the ball to initiate a fast break.

Ronaldo, who ran quickly along the left wing, quickly passed the ball diagonally to the center.

Ye Yifeng followed up quickly, stopping and moving forward to advance the attack.

When encountering Paredes, he stepped on his bicycle with his right foot and pulled the ball with his left foot to change direction and break through to the right.

Before Paredes could stretch his legs, Ye Yifeng drastically changed his direction and passed him.

When Ye Yifeng came to the wing with the ball and was about to meet Nuno Mendes, he passed the ball diagonally to the right.

Rashford ran wildly around the outside line to gain a deep advantage, almost leaving the Paris Saint-Germain defense behind. Before the football was about to roll out of the sideline, he dunked the ball back inside, and he had already stepped into the offensive dangerous area!

Continuing to dribble forward quickly, Rashford sent a cross from the edge of the penalty area.

The football rolled towards the left rib area of ​​​​the penalty area.

Ronaldo sprinted up and hit the horse, stopped and changed the direction of the ball to widen the distance between him and Achraf Hakimi, and then when he started to shoot, Marquinhos blocked him.

The old super giant moved the ball across and then reluctantly took a shot.

Ramos, who ran wildly and retreated into position, shoveled straight away!

The football shot by Ronaldo was blocked by Ramos' right leg and then refracted and flew out of the baseline!

The Red Devils fans applauded after a moment of regret.

But after things got better, the fans of both teams felt uncomfortable.

This sense of déjà vu that climaxes right after the opening scene is not one-sided and one team is happy. When one party is happy, the other party will suffer.

Manchester United's corner kick attack went into the middle of the penalty area. Ye Yifeng fought for the ball, but his header was reluctant and the ball went above the crossbar.

In the 4th minute of the game, the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder organized an offensive and passed the ball to the right.

As boss Mei was dribbling forward, he encountered a head-on interception by B Fee. He controlled the ball with his left foot and dunked it while changing directions to accelerate to complete the breakthrough. When he advanced forward, he encountered Pogba and Fred.

He accurately sent the ball from between the two to the center of the penalty area.

When Mbappe received the ball, he directly knocked the ball towards the right rib of the penalty area. It seemed aimless, but after knocking the ball, he accelerated and changed direction to go around Varane to chase the ball. It was quite similar to when Gareth Bale passed the ball to Three Seconds. Finally, your own style!

When Mbappe caught up with the ball again, even though the shooting angle was narrow, he still forced his kick to hit the goal!

De Gea blocked the near corner of the goal in time, and the football was blocked by his palms subconsciously!

If you only look at the data, Mbappe is a real asset in the Paris Saint-Germain team this season.

But Neymar and Messi are absolutely indispensable for covering and containing him and creating a better environment for him.

Some Manchester United players will leave in the summer, and this will also be Mbappe's last game with Paris Saint-Germain!

He will go to the Bernabeu in the summer and try to write his own legend there!

If he can perform with a dominant performance in the Champions League final, it will be natural for him to ascend to the throne in the new era.

Before the Paris Saint-Germain fans had time to regret that Mbappe's shot failed to score, they instantly became on tenterhooks.

Manchester United's fast break passed halftime!

Ronaldo met Hakimi on the wing and passed the ball across the middle. Ye Yifeng ran to meet Gueye and knocked the ball back with his heel without looking back.

Gueye can be regarded as a defensive warrior who grew up in Ligue 1, but he didn't seem to even have a chance to take action against Ye Yifeng!

B fee follows up and passes the ball diagonally to the right.

Rashford touched the ball during his movement and cut inside.

When dribbling into the middle, Ye Yifeng made a diagonal run to the front and right of the penalty area.

Paris Saint-Germain's defense suddenly became a bit chaotic.

Paredes went to intercept Rashford, who passed the ball diagonally to Ye Yifeng's position.

Guye rushed towards Ye Yifeng in a hurry.

However, when Ye Yifeng received the ball, he suddenly stopped and then reversed and dribbled the ball in the middle. After the two of them passed each other, Ye Yifeng reached the top of the arc.

Rashford's advance has suppressed the back line.

Paredes just retreated into the penalty area and rushed outside to defend.

But Ye Yifeng had already started to shoot.

The left-footed inside arc shot made all Paris Saint-Germain fans grit their teeth and pay attention to the drama!

It looks like this horse is heading for a dead end!

Donnarumma, who dared not claim to be a god in the European Cup last summer, but was definitely one of the top three goalkeepers in the world, is tall and has long arms. This time he flew to save and gritted his teeth to the limit, but he still felt despair!

boom!

The football hit the left goal post close to the crossbar and popped out of the baseline.

call!

Not to mention the Paris Saint-Germain fans, their players have a sense of survival on the court.

Ye Yi's face remained unchanged and he looked at the Paris Saint-Germain players around him.

In terms of defensive strength alone, Paris Saint-Germain may be the second-last team Manchester United has encountered in the Champions League knockout rounds this season.

The last one is naturally the aging Juventus.
