Fame with a ball

Amidst the uproar, the first leg of the Champions League semi-final kicked off.

Before the start of the game, players from both teams were standing in the tunnel, waiting to enter the field. The atmosphere between them was a little bit tense, which was a bit different from last season when Juventus and Real Madrid played against each other. The relationship is still friendly, and the reason why some subtle changes have taken place now is probably due to the deliberate creation of the media for more than a week-if you want to qualify to appear at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Juventus and Real Madrid, either you die or you die. I live.

The Champions League final is a game surrounded by huge interests and glory. Which team would not want to stand in front of the whole world and receive flowers and applause?With such a huge temptation as bait, even if it is a team that meets again by chance and has no grudges or grudges, it will spontaneously develop a heart of resentment towards the opponent.

Lin Zhigao held a very shy female caddy in his hand. He just smiled and asked her name and age. The little girl with brown hair blushed and lowered her head, refusing to speak. At first, looking left and right, I met Ronaldo.

Opening his mouth, Lin Zhigao was about to say hello to the other party, but when he saw Ronaldo looking past him, he immediately turned his head away as if he didn't see anything.

Huh, why does it feel like the other party is angry... Lin Zhigao scratched his head, and when he was wondering, he suddenly saw Kaka pouted in the direction of Ronaldo, and then made a mouth shape: Twitter.

Lin Zhigao suddenly realized, and then felt a little guilty—he didn't expect that his Twitter match with Messi would have such a big impact.Originally, I just wanted to take some revenge on Ronaldo, but I didn't expect that there would be reporters who would mess up the water, and finally it escalated into another round of battle between Messi and Ronaldo. Lin Zhigao was obviously assigned to Messi's side, and Ronaldo As a person who has always had a good personal relationship with Lin Zhigao in the eyes of the public, he was immediately in the embarrassing position of being "abandoned by friends". It is estimated that he was ridiculed by some people, so he directly took his anger on Lin Zhigao, the culprit.

In fact, when it comes to faults, they should each hit [-] big boards, but Lin Zhigao, who knows Ronaldo's character very well, still thinks that it is undoubtedly impossible for the other party to talk to him first, so he took the initiative to give in and called "Cris."

Ronaldo turned his back to Lin Zhigao without moving his head, as if he didn't hear the shout.

"Cris!" Lin Zhigao increased his volume.

The back of the black No. 7 is still motionless, but his head is obviously raised, and he looks smug from behind.

Not far away, there were muffled laughter from several Real Madrid players. It was obvious that they all found it very interesting to see Ronaldo shutting Lin Zhigao off.

Verratti sneaked up to Lin Zhigao's side, touched his arm, and said in a low voice, "He doesn't even pay attention to you, so stop shouting, you will lose your face!"

Lin Zhigao shrugged indifferently. What he wanted was exactly this effect—look, he was dumped face by the other party in front of so many people. Ronaldo should feel balanced now, right?

5 minutes before entering the field, Mourinho led his coaching staff out of the Real Madrid locker room, but he did not go out of the tunnel to the field, but stood in the player tunnel, like It looks like you are waiting for someone.

Not long after, the door of the Juventus locker room was also opened, and Capello, the assistant coach and others walked through the passage, ready to enter the field.

"Mr. Capello!" Mourinho shouted to each other.

Capello was stunned for a moment, but he stopped and looked at Mourinho: "The game is about to start, what do you want from me?"

"I'm waiting here specially to shake hands with you." Mourinho said with a smile.

People around who heard this were a little surprised-Mourinho took the initiative to shake hands with Capello?When did madmen become so humble?

Capello was also confused by Mourinho's behavior, but Mourinho stretched out his hand, and he couldn't help it.Otherwise, after the game is over, Mourinho, with his big mouth, will have a topic that is distorted in front of the media, such as "Juventus has no way of hospitality, Capello is playing big cards" or something.

"This time in Turin, Juventus fans are very, very enthusiastic about us." Mourinho said with a smile while shaking hands with Capello.

Capello raised his eyebrows, not knowing what the other party was singing.

"In the middle of the night last night, a group of fans gathered downstairs in the hotel where we were staying for a midnight party. The noise was so loud that even earplugs couldn't stop it. On the way to the stadium today, there were Juventus fans excitedly heading to our bus. Throwing bricks on the car windows... These 'hospitality' really 'moved' us all at Real Madrid!"

Now everyone can hear that Mourinho is ironic!It turned out that he was deliberately waiting for Capello in the player tunnel. He didn't really want to shake hands with the opponent, but wanted to pick up the opportunity to retaliate and sarcasm the opponent!

The Real Madrid players shouted happily in their hearts, but most of the Juventus players felt embarrassed and uncomfortable, including Lin Zhigao himself, because they had no knowledge of this matter before.The private fan organizations in Europe are very developed, and most clubs only have the right to cooperate with the fan groups, but not to manage them. Many spontaneous activities of the fans are unknown to the clubs, including this time last night, the coaches and players of Juventus Most of them live in the outskirts of the city, and went home directly after training yesterday. How could they know that fans harassed Real Madrid's hotel in the city center in the middle of the night?

But when fans commit crimes, the club pays the bill, which is also a common law in European football.So Capello didn't explain anything to himself, but after Mourinho had satirized him enough, he said lightly: "If Real Madrid thinks it's unfair, then we can wait until we go to Madrid and let your The fans treated us the same way, and I promise I won’t ask you to complain about it when we play the next day.”

Even someone who is shrewd and quick-witted like Mourinho was stunned for a moment.

"If there is nothing else, we will play." Capello glanced at the Juventus players lightly, and took the lead out of the player channel.

The Juventus players hurriedly followed him out, and their morale was high for a while. Verratti took the opportunity to snicker at Lin Zhigao: "What the boss said just now is really domineering!"

However, Lin Zhigao has already begun to ponder whether he needs to buy a good pair of earplugs, and then suggest to the general manager of the club, Mr. Marotta, to replace the glass of the club bus with special bulletproof ones?

……

Juventini are looking forward to this game very much. In their view, Juventus met Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League. It is not bad luck, it is a good thing!Real Madrid was the team that knocked Juventus out of the Champions League last year. Juventus will naturally knock them out this year. That's called complete revenge!

The game is about to start, and the formations and starting lists of both teams are displayed on the big screen in the stadium.

After seeing Juventus' starting lineup and lineup, many people opened their mouths in surprise, and the commentator was stunned for a while before stammering: "Mourinho actually guessed Juventus in advance. Tus's starting lineup!" Capello's lineup for this game is very similar to the lineup that Mourinho guessed a few days ago, almost the same!

The camera lens was then aimed at the coach seats of both sides, and gave a close-up of Mourinho and Capello for ten seconds.

Mourinho looked up at the big screen, put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and smiled confidently and complacently.

Capello sat on the coach's bench with his arms crossed, his face expressionless, making it impossible to see what his mental activities were.

"What exactly was Capello thinking? Mourinho had already guessed his starting lineup a few days ago, but Capello actually put it in the game without making any changes. Is this behavior arrogance or self-confidence?"

In fact, Capello is neither arrogant nor full of self-confidence, he just can't do it - Mourinho's guess before the game has almost included all of Juventus's usual formations. In order not to be caught by the opponent in the game, Capello must use a brand new lineup to deal with Real Madrid, but with only one week left in the game, the new tactics cannot be matured at all. Formation Real Madrid such a strong opponent?That is simply asking for death!

However, if Juventus's most convenient tactics are used, and then they take advantage of the home court advantage to face Real Madrid, there is still some hope of winning.

There was a buzzing buzz in the stands from the fans, who were questioning Capello's choice and worried about the post-match situation.

And what about Capello?But he just continued to sit with a blank expression on his face.

Perhaps in the entire stadium, only his opponent Mourinho can understand what Capello's real thoughts are.

The starting lineup was informed by the opponent in advance?In fact, this will not have a fatal impact on the results of the game - there are many teams now, relying on one or two fixed lineups to survive a season, especially the main lineup, most of them are one, the core players Just one, like Real Madrid cannot do without Ronaldo, Barcelona cannot do without Messi, AC Milan’s offense is mainly completed by Ibrahimovic, Rooney is always Ferguson’s most important general... The whole world knows the common tactics of these teams And the core, but did they prevent these top strikers from scoring goals?

No, they can't stop it.Because there is no tactic in the world that can completely restrain another tactic. The outcome of the game depends more on the flash and cooperation of the players. People are the main body of the game, not rigid tactics.

To put it bluntly, Mourinho is still playing psychological tactics-the madman is creating an image of himself as omniscient and omnipotent, and trying to weaken the excitement of the home fans, attack the psychological defense of Juventus players, and let Juventus' home court The advantage is down to the bottom.

Now, the madman has got his wish to affect the home fans, Juventini's cheers and cheers are not as loud as before the opening, but what about his attempt to influence the other half of the Juventus players?Can he succeed?

Although he had been prepared for this point, Capello suddenly felt a little uncertain when he saw Mourinho's sinister smile on the opposite coach's bench.

……

When Mourinho's smiling, black-bellied face was photographed close-up and placed on the big screen, many Juventus players shuddered, and their minds were suddenly cast in a shadow.

Although the head coach has already told before the game, "Mourinho's psychological tactics are estimated to be played from before the game to after the game. As long as the two rounds of the semi-finals are not over, you must not relax your vigilance and trust him. Anything", but everyone still couldn't help sighing in their hearts: What a terrible opponent!

After the game started, Mourinho stood on the edge of the court and made a few gestures. The Real Madrid players immediately changed their formation according to Mourinho's instructions.

Capello sighed slightly off the court: Real Madrid really came prepared.

The Juventus players on the field immediately felt that their actions were greatly restricted after Real Madrid's change of formation, and their positions were not as free as before. They knew that this was what Mourinho had prepared for Juventus. Tactics, so I didn’t panic too much. Although the tactics were restrained, as long as Juventus can always grasp the rhythm of the game in their own hands, it will be fine for the overall situation.

However, Mourinho's smile still affected the psychology of some Juventus players. They had shadows in their hearts, their hands were restrained, and it was difficult to enter the game state for a while.

After 5 minutes of the game, Juventus didn't have a smooth rhythm, but Real Madrid scored the first goal!

Alonso made a pass from the left, and Ronaldo raised his foot and volleyed vigorously from 35 meters in the middle of the frontcourt!

Buffon got up early and the football went through his fingers and into the goal!

"Real Madrid... lead by one goal!" The Spanish commentator shouted excitedly after being stunned for a moment!

There was an uproar at the New Alp Stadium, and the Juventus players were also a little stunned. They didn't expect to lose the ball so quickly.

In a panic, the Juventus players quickly stepped up their defense, but the busier they got, the more trouble they got, and they failed to play their own rhythm in the two counterattacks.

Real Madrid entered the state because of this opening goal!

Mourinho smiled proudly off the court. Real Madrid's start was not in vain. He spent so much thought before the game.

And Capello just wanted to scold his mother, no, he scolded the players in Juventus' defensive line-I have warned you how many times Mourinho's insidiousness, why is he still right!

Real Madrid, who played more and more smoothly, launched another attack. Although the shot was unsuccessful, they gradually took the rhythm of the game into their own hands.

In the 15th minute, seeing that Juventus' own rhythm was being driven faster and faster by Real Madrid, Lin Zhigao, who would definitely go wrong if this continued, couldn't help but want to be a lone hero.

He wandered around the center looking for an opportunity. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the football was at the feet of his teammate De Qie Lie, and there were no Real Madrid players around him, so he immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Decherie glanced at Lin Zhigao and signaled him: Attack?

Lin Zhigao pursed his lips and nodded at him.

De Qie Lie smiled, immediately rubbed the ball under his feet, and drove it to Lin Zhigao!

Lin Zhigao kept his eyes on the football, only to find... Shit, the ball is off!

Lin Zhigao, who was waiting for the pass in the midfield, watched helplessly as the football drew an arc and flew to the right which was seven or eight meters away from him!Even though he has always had a good temper, he couldn't help but give Decherie a hard look!

Decherie immediately shrank his neck, and lowered his head guiltyly.

If the ball is lost, just throw it away, and at worst, he will chase it back... Lin Zhigao thought optimistically, and then turned around to chase the ball.

But as soon as he turned his body to the right, Lin Zhigao yelled: "Oops!"

The football that was passed by De Qie has been broken by Ozil!

Lin Zhigao immediately ran towards Ozil, but before he reached the opponent, Ozil lifted his right foot and passed the ball diagonally to Ronaldo!

"Back to defense! Back to defense!" Lin Zhigao could only warn his teammates loudly, regardless of other things.

Chiellini and Barzagli rushed towards the penalty area non-stop, and De Qie Lie, Pirlo, Marchisio and others near the midfield also immediately turned and ran back.

But they can catch up with Ronaldo's people, but they can't catch up with the ball at the feet of this goal machine!

Ronaldo raised his foot and shot!

The iconic big bang!

"Don't go in, don't go in, don't go in..." The Italian commentator couldn't care less about his objective attitude anymore, he kept muttering into the microphone, hoping his prayers would come true.

but……

The football got into the far corner of the goal cruelly!

Juventus are two goals behind!

"C-Ronaldo's signature slamming action, he was yelling at the Juventus fans after scoring... Oh, he wanted to tear his clothes, but was stopped by his teammates... If he just did that If I do, I bet he'll get a yellow card."

The home team is not strong enough, and the Italian commentator even sounded weak and sour: "Anyway, they can score first in the away game. Real Madrid's opening is really fantastic."

This start is a dream for Real Madrid players, but for Zebra fans, it is simply sensational and unacceptable!

But the cruel reality did play out like this.

Because the situation of the home team is not good, the fans have no momentum of cheering and cheering, and the stadium gradually becomes a little deserted.

In this somewhat silent atmosphere, some commotion suddenly appeared in the south stand of the stadium.

Feeling that the game was very stiff, the somewhat bored cameraman turned the camera around, accidentally aimed at the fans' stands, and stood still for an instant.

In the South Stand, some fans put up a huge slogan: Lin, you are unique, you are our zebra prince!

"I have seen this slogan played countless times by neutral fans, but it is the first time that it has been collectively held up by the diehard fans in the south stand!" The commentator commented: "The fans are holding it up at this moment There must be some other deep meaning behind this slogan, probably they are expecting Lin Zhigao to do something? After all, at this moment, he has become the only hope in the hearts of many fans."

Fans from other stands saw this slogan, suddenly realized, and then started shouting in unison: "Lin! Lin! Lin!"

"Lin! Lin! Lin!" The call resounded throughout New Alp.

The noise in the stands startled the players on the field. They all raised their heads and looked at the fans stands. After seeing the slogan, they looked for Lin Zhigao with all kinds of eyes.

Lin Zhigao was wandering in the midfield.The fans' calls caught his attention. Lin Zhigao looked up and saw the slogan, couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and then waved towards the fans' stands.

The shouts in the stadium suddenly doubled.

Capello and Mourinho on the bench looked complicated.

……

Of course, Lin Zhigao also wants to change the situation on the field, but he is not the illegitimate son of God. It is impossible for him to flick his leg from the midfield and the football will fly into the Real Madrid goal. He has to think carefully and work hard to make the game happen. Click Change.

There are generally two ways to improve team morale, non-stop attack, or a goal.

The offense can give people hope, the players see the possibility of an equalizer, and the fans will know that the team has been fighting for victory.A goal can directly boost morale and even reverse the situation.

Between offense and scoring, the latter is undoubtedly the best, but when the score is getting bigger and bigger and morale is low, even an inaccurate shot can temporarily restore some people's hearts.

Lin Zhigao didn't want to make unnecessary shots. Although those shots that he knew he would definitely not score could temporarily boost the team's morale, but if they failed to score repeatedly, the team would only speed up and fall into a deadlock.

Therefore, two or three times, when Lin Zhigao dribbled the ball into Real Madrid's half, and encountered the opponent's tight defense, he carefully chose to pass back.

Some people thought his choice was right, but others thought he was too careful. De Qie Lie ran to Lin Zhigao panting and asked him: "Everyone can't stand it anymore. The morale is so low. Take a chance?"

Lin Zhigao asked rhetorically, "What if my shot fails and Real Madrid seizes the opportunity to counterattack and expand the score?"

De Qielie was silent, and Juventus' defense also acquiesced in Lin Zhi's frequent return.

Finally, in the 39th minute of the game, Lin Zhigao caught a chance.

After Pirlo and Verratti made a pass, Pirlo made a short pass and distributed the ball to the right. Lin Zhigao stepped in in time and received the pass.

Almost at the moment when Lin Zhigao got the ball, Marcelo, Ramos, and Arveiroa quickly stepped forward to double-team Lin Zhigao.

The cooperation of Real Madrid's three defenders was very fast and perfect. After Lin Zhigao stopped the ball, they had already blocked all the possibilities of Lin Zhigao's passing!

Of course, a breakthrough is still possible, because the siege of the three of them is not particularly tight, they just formed a circle around Lin Zhigao. This is also a way of not putting all eggs in one basket, just in case something happens. , They were too close to Lin Zhigao and could not take into account other loopholes in the defense.

The three of Ramos are very confident. They think that under such circumstances, Lin Zhigao can neither break through nor pass the ball, so he can only accept it obediently.

But is this really the case?

Just when Marcelo was thinking about the timing and preparing to steal the ball, Lin Zhigao moved!

Lin Zhigao didn't stop, the goal of running was still Real Madrid's goal, and he even sped up a little bit, making it impossible to guess what he was trying to do.Not only that, Lin Zhigao also began to knock the ball back and forth quickly between his feet, making the three defending him not know where to start.

Seeing that the football could not be broken in a short time, the three of Ramos had to slowly tighten the defensive circle, hoping to trap Lin Zhigao inside.

At this moment, Lin Zhitian suddenly slowed down the movement of hitting the ball with both feet, and intentionally or unintentionally, he stopped the ball more under his left foot.

Got it!

Marcelo, who believed that Lin Zhigao would try to pass the ball in the near future, his eyes lit up, and his body had already rushed towards Lin Zhigao's right side. He wanted to break the ball before Lin Zhigao passed the ball!

However, Lin Zhigao quickly poked the toe and pushed the football out from the gap between Ramos and Aveiroa!

The commentator couldn't help but exclaimed: "Lin's dribble is so bold, if he is not careful he will pass the ball!"

Lin Zhigao is indeed bold. He chose this breakthrough method of separating man and ball to take a big risk, especially when there are three Real Madrid defenders in front of him.

But the first half of the game is coming to an end. If Juventus no longer scores a goal and enters the second half with a decline, the game will be really thrilling!

So Lin Zhigao had to take a gamble.

His breakthrough action made Ramos and Arveiroa very angry. Both of them breathed out with their nostrils fluttering, thinking to themselves: "You dare to play this trick in front of us, you think you are Who, Messi? Hmph! I must not be passed by you!"

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, the two of Ramos rushed towards Lin Zhigao, trying to make him pass the ball.

Ramos, Aveiroa, and Marcelo all shrunk their defensive line, preparing to firmly block Lin Zhigao's posture, but because Marcelo misjudged that Lin Zhigao would pass the ball, he started a little earlier, so After the three of them started running, a relatively large gap appeared between Marcelo, who was a few steps ahead, and the bodies of the other two.

Lin Zhigao was waiting for this gap to appear!

Lin Zhigao started instantly!The speed is fast and the momentum is strong, as if there is a super motor installed in his body!

Then, relying on his strong physical fitness, he gritted his teeth and squeezed between the bodies of Ramos and Abeloa, and got the football one step ahead of Pepe!

"Lin made a breakthrough! He really managed to beat three people in a row!"

"Exquisite human ball passing!"

After getting the ball, shooting immediately is king!

Lin Zhigao just adjusted his posture, then raised his right foot, and violently kicked the football away with the outside of his foot!

Casillas originally thought that Lin Zhigao would break through to the goal before choosing to shoot, because everyone knew that the goal would be more certain, so he never expected that Lin Zhigao would lift his foot so quickly. In a panic, Saint Cassie hastily judged the location intuitively, and then jumped over!

"WHATAGOAL!!!!!!" The commentator yelled into the microphone, as if he wanted to use a sonic attack to scare all the fans watching the live broadcast to death.

"Lin's powerful volley was unstoppable, even a good goalkeeper like San Cassie couldn't stop him! Juventus finally pulled back a goal in the 41st minute of the first half!"

The moment Lin Zhigao scored the goal, the New Alpi Stadium was also ignited, and even the live broadcast commentary room could feel the huge cheers from the scene.

"At this moment, the New Alpen Stadium finally has the atmosphere of the home team's stadium!"

In fact, it's not just a "somewhat" home atmosphere, New Alp is simply crazy at this moment!

The fans suppressed their emotions for a full four or ten minutes, and finally they could roar out at this moment, shouting: "This is my territory, I should score goals!"

"After Lin Zhigao saved the game, let's see what happened in the stands!"

The commentator stared at the big screen with great interest. The live broadcast of the game was aimed at the south stand of the New Alpi Stadium, which is also the stand with the most loyal fans.In the stands, a huge curtain was slowly being unfolded by the fans. One minute later, this huge portrait held high by hundreds of fans finally appeared in front of everyone.

"The huge portrait is divided into two parts, one is the Juventus number ten jersey with the name Lin on it, which obviously refers to our zebra prince. And the other part... oh my god, it's a crossed-out The Real Madrid jersey pattern with X! No number, but also Lin's name, the meaning of this giant picture cannot be more obvious, it is a manifesto!"

That's right, this is indeed a declaration, and it is a declaration given to Mourinho by the Juventinis.

The Juventus No. 10 jersey represents the fans' support for Lin Zhigao, and the Real Madrid jersey with a big red X suddenly expresses-Mourinho, don't you like our Lin very much?But now he is scoring goals on behalf of Juventus!He is our zebra prince, he does not belong to the Bernabéu!

The camera then cut a close-up to Lin Zhigao, but Lin Zhigao was staring at Real Madrid's goal intently, looking like he was about to move and want to continue scoring goals, and he didn't seem to notice the movement in the fans' stands at all.

Just when Juventus regained their morale and prepared to make persistent efforts to attack Real Madrid's defense, the first half of the game ended.
