At this time, all the fans have entered the stadium, and the Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate nearly 10 people, is full of seats, because the jerseys of Arsenal and Bayern Munich are mainly red, so at a glance, the stands on all sides are full of endless red , is particularly spectacular.

Arsenal are warming up for the game in a corner of the pitch and the players look to be in good shape.

Cazorla was talking in Alonso's ear, and the latter listened a little casually, looking up at the rostrum from time to time.

It was probably because his half-year-long pursuit finally had a response, and the two had just confirmed their relationship. In short, as long as Ling Yun was there, even if he couldn't stay by her side all the time, his attention would always follow that figure. .

Accompanied by his entourage, Prince William came to the scene. Ling Yun warmly greeted them. The two looked very familiar. Because the stadium environment was too noisy, the two of them were head to head and talking close to ear during the whole communication process.

Prince William was accompanied by a young boy with blond hair and a baby face.

Alonso noticed that Ling Yun would look at the young boy next to him from time to time. Although he could not observe Ling Yun's eyes and expression from Alonso's perspective, the smile on the boy's face It is not difficult to guess that the relationship between them is very close.

The three chatted enthusiastically for a long time, until a staff member from Arsenal came to find Nick, and Nick whispered something in Ling Yun's ear, and the latter left.

Before Ling Yun left, he still didn't forget to whisper something to the young boy, and after the explanation, he even reached out to smooth out an inconspicuous wrinkle on his collar.

This action was a bit too intimate. Alonso had never seen this blond boy before, so he didn't know his identity, let alone his relationship with Ling Yun.

It wasn't until the assistant coach called everyone back to the locker room that he took his gaze away from the rostrum. Ramsey and Wilshere were still gossiping beside him. Unexpectedly, Prince William also came to watch the game.

Before the official start of the match, there was a small ceremony. The starting players of Arsenal and Bayern lined up on both sides of the referee. Prince William came to the field accompanied by Ling Yun. Ling Yun introduced Arsenal to him in a proud tone. Na players.

In fact, it was just a simple personal introduction plus the player's name, but Prince William listened very carefully, and had to chat with Ling Yun and the players from time to time.

When it came to Alonso, Ling Yun just stretched out his hand, and before he started introducing, Prince William would take the lead: "I know, Harvey Alonso, the best player voted by the Premier League players this season."

After the end of each season, three organizations in the Premier League will select the best players, namely the official Football Association, the Premier League Players Union and the English media organization.

Among the best players selected by these three organizations, it is recognized that the one with the highest gold content is the second one, which is the best player voted by the players.

This year, in the selection of the three best players, the top scorer Van Persie won the best player officially certified by the FA and the best player selected by the media, while Harvey Alonso won the player with the highest number of votes The best in my mind.

Alonso stretched out his hand to shake hands with Prince William, but couldn't help looking at Ling Yun beside him.

After the introduction of the Arsenal players, Prince William came to the Bayern players and asked their captain Lahm to introduce the players of the team.

After the whole ceremony, the group returned to the rostrum. At this moment, UEFA President Michel Platini and Bayern Munich President Rummenigge were already seated.

Arsenal, who drew the home draw today, wore their home red and white jersey, while Bayern wore a black away jersey.

Although people often say that there is no name in the competition, in today's Champions League final, the two teams showed a very positive attitude from the beginning, and they played not conservatively at all.

Arsenal still maintained their consistent pass-and-control style of play, focusing on ball control, making full use of the width of the field to cooperate with passing and receiving the ball, in order to find loopholes in the opponent's defense to launch an attack.

Bayern Munich is more aggressive. Their two wide players Robben and Ribery not only have strong personal strength, but also have very rich experience in competitions.

Their team lineup is more complete, and the team's age distribution is more reasonable, but Arsenal's side seems too young and not well-known.

But this is not important, although there is a certain gap between the two teams in terms of worth, fame and even strength.

But Arsenal are the Premier League champions after all, and they are not much worse than their opponents. What's more, boss Xiaoling invested [-] million pounds, and the players he bought are not just thinking of using two seasons to deal with emergencies, but are rushing to build for the next ten years. Bought by the team.

Robben and Ribery are really strong, plus Mandzukic at the top, Gibbs, as Arsenal's weakest link, has already been figured out by Bayern, and Ribery knows it by his appearance Not a kind person who will take pity on young players, not to mention that this is the Champions League final, who doesn't want to win the Big Ears Cup.

Therefore, Bayern's offense is very aggressive. Every time they stare at Gibbs and bombard indiscriminately, Alonso had to exchange positions with Pogba to assist Gibbs in defending Ribery.

Attentive Premier League fans have already noticed that Alonso's style of play is much tougher than that of Liverpool, and his coverage is larger than that of Real Madrid.

It stands to reason that as players grow older, their physical strength declines, and the range they can cover on the court becomes narrower. However, the Spaniard seems to grow inversely. In just one season, from state to physical fitness to technical and tactical level on the court, have significantly increased.

Be worthy of the name, the older the more demon.

However, in the 10st minute of the game, Alonso not only played a stable interception role on the defensive end, but when the team switched from defense to offense, he was the first initiator and point of delivery.

His long passes often have a sharp effect and can accurately give him the expected position.

However, Bayern not only has a strong front line, but also Lahm, Boateng, Alaba and others in the defense line are also very strong. Apart from Giroud, Arsenal's frontcourt players can't get cheap against them.

Despite this, Arsenal played several beautiful attacks in the first half, but Bayern goalkeeper Neuer was brave enough to save Arsenal's must-go goal twice.

The game on the field was really exciting. Both sides switched offense and defense very quickly. Arsenal likes to cooperate with continuous one-foot passes and catches, while Bayern likes simple and rough quick counterattacks.

In the stands, the passion of 9 fans was driven by the bloody struggle on the field, and the shouts of mountains and tsunami never stopped.

Prince William suddenly leaned into Ling Yun's ear and asked him: "Are you nervous?"

"It's okay." Even if Ling Yun was nervous, he wouldn't admit it on his face.

"Tell me." Although William was chatting with Ling Yun, his eyes were always on the field. "When I asked you to invest in Aston Villa, you had to choose Arsenal."

Ling Yun said: "I don't like Aston Villa, but you like to vote yourself."

"Don't you think it would be very fulfilling if the team fighting for the title today were Aston Villa?"

"Absolutely not."

"..."

The blond boy with a baby face suddenly put his head between the two of them: "It's been a long time since I played golf, let's have a date sometime."

The two people in front said in unison: "No."

While the three were chatting, an unexpected danger appeared in front of Arsenal's goal.

With a long pass from Schweinsteiger, Robben, known as Peter Pan, started very quickly. The 198cm Mertesacker turned around to chase, and was pulled away in an instant. There was no chance of a tactical foul.

In the blink of an eye, Robben came to the penalty area, and the hearts of the Arsenal fans in the stands were severely gripped. In such an important game, one-on-one against the goalkeeper, let alone a star of Robben's level , Even if you change players casually, the possibility of losing the ball is very high.

Robben's shot was very decisive, but he just adjusted his step slightly with his left and right feet, and then kicked to hit the goal.

His hand has been raised, he thinks he has chosen a very good angle, in this one-on-one situation, Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny is absolutely impossible to save.

Ling Yun, who was sitting on the rostrum, couldn't help sitting up straight, and Rummenigge, who was several seats away from him, seemed to be about to stand up and applaud in the next second.

However, there is nothing absolute in this world, let alone on the football field.

Szczesny leaped into the air and rushed towards the ball that was about to go over the goal.

The eyes of more than 9 people present were fixed on him alone. In the next second, he fell heavily back to the grass, but the ball flew over the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

The 23-year-old Polish teenager is also a beet trained by Arsenal's own youth training. Ling Yun has always been quite satisfied with his performance, but the goalkeeper position is as important as half the team. Ling Yun also considers But whether it is necessary to introduce another goalkeeper to rotate between the league and the Champions League.

Neuer's performance on the opposite side was much more stable than that of Arsenal's Beets. In the first half, he made 3 saves with a [-]% success rate, including Alonso's threatening long-range shot.

After all, Wembley Stadium is located in London, and the number of Arsenal fans who came to the scene far exceeds that of Bayern fans, which is considered to be more than half of Arsenal's home court.

Arsenal's game in the first half did not disappoint the fans. Judging from various official technical statistics, they even surpassed Bayern in terms of possession rate and attacking 30 meters in front of the goal.

However, until the end of the first half, neither side could score a goal.But I have to admit that the 45-minute fast-paced match was very enjoyable for the fans. Until the players returned to the player channel to take a break, the chorus of thousands of people in the stands still did not stop.

The Bundesliga champions and the Premier League champions met in the Champions League, and the popularity was comparable to sparks hitting the earth. Moreover, Arsenal has never been short of traffic this season. The number of fans is astonishing, and the number of hostile fans is even more astonishing.

As soon as the first half of the game ended, the two sides had heated discussions on the Internet. Some people said that Arsenal was obviously not Bayern's opponent, and some people refuted why Bayern hadn't scored yet.

"Arsenal have a weakness on the pitch, an Achilles' heel, but Bayern have none."

"But Arsenal also has explosive points. Hazard, Cazorla, and Rosicky may all seize the opportunity to score first."

"Forget it. The only thing Arsenal is better than Bayern is the midfielder. How many cakes Pogba and Alonso fed Giroud, he spit them out. This Ligue [-] striker, this Not half as many goals as Van Persie did this season."

"Van Persie is the top scorer in the Premier League, but does he have a championship?"

"What does Van Persie have to do with Giroud if he doesn't leave Arsenal?"

"Then who is to blame? It can only be blamed on the little boy in his heart blindly guiding JB to transfer."

"..."

The guest commentators invited today in the "Sky Sports" live broadcast room are Graeme Souness and Paul Merson, which is very interesting. The former was a Tottenham Hotspur player, while the latter is Arsenal. He is a famous star in Highbury, has a large number of loyal followers at Highbury Stadium, and is also an out-and-out gunner himself.

The two people's commentary in the studio obviously had a clear stand. As soon as Bayern got the ball, Souness would turn up the volume and shout into the microphone: "Opportunity, this is an opportunity."

Until Bayern's offense was resolved by Arsenal, Paul Merson would breathe a sigh of relief: "Alonso's return to defense was timely. His vision is very wide and he will not give Ribery any chance."

Souness said: "But Gibbs obviously can't defend against Ribery. With the addition of Alonso, they can barely fight each other. I guess Robben will also come in the second half. Their tactics today are Mainly attacking Arsenal's left side, goals will come sooner or later."

What people say is true, and Merson has nothing to refute, but he said: "But Arsenal's offense is also very threatening. It is not certain who will score first in the second half."

After a 15-minute break, the two sides entered the second half of the game. Wenger made a substitution decision shortly after the opening. He still replaced Rosicky with De Bruyne.

Therefore, Souness also joked in the studio: "Did Wenger read those comments on the Internet, so he replaced De Bruyne so quickly? Wenger is quite superstitious."

Merson immediately retorted: "De Bruyne is very strong, okay, he has breakthroughs, skills, and an imaginative pass."

Souness interjected: "Speaking of passing, I think the key to Arsenal's victory over Bayern lies in Alonso. After all, he is the only Arsenal player with experience in the Champions League final. It's a pity that Bennett Si made a mistake and let him go."

Souness, a former Tottenham player, was sold to Liverpool very early. Strictly speaking, he should be regarded as an out-and-out Liverpool star. When he mentioned Alonso's name, his tone was inevitably a little sour.

Wenger naturally trusted De Bruyne to replace him at such a critical moment. Although Rosicky is very strong, he is 33 years old and has been plagued by injuries for many years. It has obviously declined.

The current professor is no longer the Arsenal head coach who was stretched on the bench in the past. He doesn't have to wait until six or seven 10 minutes later to consider the issue of substitutions. Now he can make substitutions immediately according to his own tactical adjustment needs. People decide.

I dare not say that the depth of the bench is one of the best among the European giants, but at least I no longer have to worry about the problem of no one available.

But at the critical stage of 60 minutes of the game, the shortcomings of Arsenal's players' inexperience were fully exposed.Perhaps their personal abilities are very strong, young and energetic, but compared with Bayern, which has reached the Champions League final three times in four years, they are not so interesting.

Although the players seem to be inexperienced, Wenger on the bench is experienced in many battles. From the situation on the field at this moment, it is not difficult for him to see that Bayern is really not far from scoring goals.

Robben's mentality has changed a little since the one-handed miss just now, but he is still very hard on the field, but he has not been able to find the state of shooting. After missing good opportunities again and again, he becomes a little quiet .

It wasn't until halftime that they changed to a new tactic.

Arsenal's right-back Sarnia is a standard black and hard, the main force of the French team for many years, with good offensive ability from assists to the frontcourt, fast recovery speed and good positioning, it is difficult to break through.

But the other side is different. Gibbs is obviously a stunned young man who is easy to get ahead. He often penetrates deeply. Once Bayern quickly counterattacks, he will not be able to come back.
