Chapter 752 Escaped
Under the dark night sky, in the gorgeous night view of Rome, the Olympic Stadium is as bright as day, like a dormant giant beast, which is daunting.
Although it was far from the start of the game, the Olympic Stadium was already full of people.
The stands of the stadium, which can accommodate more than 6 fans, were occupied by fans from Liverpool and Barcelona. As the home team tonight, Liverpool fans all wore red jerseys representing Liverpool's tradition.
Barcelona and their fans eschewed Liverpool's red in favor of their own yellow away kit.
The fans of the two teams were divided in the stands, but both were doing their best to cheer for the team they supported.
This is a world-renowned peak duel that will attract the attention of all media and fans around the world.
Especially as the game time approached, guests from all walks of life gathered in the stands.
UEFA President Michel Platini, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, Spanish King Juan Carlos, Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero, British Royal Family Representative Prince William, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown...
This is not just a football feast, but also an annual event for European political and business circles.
Before the start of the game, a short but grand performance was held at the scene. The protagonist was Jupiter, the king of the ancient Roman gods wearing lightning, which fully demonstrated the long tradition and history of Rome.
Accompanied by the theme song of "Gladiator" sung by Italian blind tenor Bocelli, models dressed in gold entered the stadium holding St. Brad's cups. At this time, Bocelli began to sing the theme song of the UEFA Champions League, pushing the atmosphere of the game to the extreme.
……
"The pre-match opening act is over and the fans seem to be in high spirits."
"The live broadcast camera switched to the player channel. We can see that the players of the two teams are already lined up at the channel entrance, ready to play at any time, and the camera is aimed at tonight's referee, Busaca from Switzerland."
"We can also see the starting lineups of the two teams tonight."
"First of all, Liverpool, we saw the goalkeeper Reina, the defense is Aurelio, Skrtel, Carragher and Arbeloa, the midfield is Gareth Barry, Mascherano, Xavi Alonso and Gerrard, the front two forwards are Yang Yang and Dirk."
"At the moment we are unable to know Liverpool's formation, whether it is playing four-three-three, four-four-two, or four-three-one-two. Benitez's formation has always been surprisingly successful, and it is often very surprising."
"Whether it's Yang Yang, Gerrard, or Gareth Barry, these three players can play multiple positions at the same time, which gives Benitez more room for formation. How to arrange it can only be seen clearly in the game."
"It's the same here at Barcelona."
"We saw Valdes in goal, Abidal, Pique, Puyol and Daniel Alves in defense, Iniesta, Busquets and Xavi in midfield, Henry, Eto'o and Messi in front."
"Before there were reports from the media that Guardiola was likely to put Messi in the middle and let Henry and Etoola side, but whether this is the arrangement, we have to wait until the game to see clearly."
……
Yang Yang stood in the Liverpool queue, chatting with Messi and Iniesta in the Barcelona team.
Although it is said that they will turn their backs on their own during the game later, but off the court, they are still in harmony with each other.
Don't look at Messi yelling fiercely before the game, as if he wanted to swallow Yang Yang and Liverpool in one gulp, but when we really met, the Argentine was quite shy and was extremely polite to Yang Yang.
During the chat, following the referee Busacca's greeting, Yang Yang, Messi and others exchanged good luck, and then slowly walked out of the player channel along with the queue.
What greeted the players of the two teams was a tsunami of shouts from more than 6 fans in the stands. Everyone was in the stadium, and it was impossible to tell what they were shouting.
Some people were calling for the team, some were calling for the players, and some were calling for cheers, all intertwined and the momentum was overwhelming.
Gerrard is still quite superstitious. Before walking out of the player tunnel, he repeatedly told the Liverpool players not to touch the St. Blair Cup placed at the entrance of the tunnel anyway. It is said that if they touch it, they will miss the trophy.
Although I don't know where Gerrard heard the news, but no one in Liverpool really touched it.
Not only Liverpool, but also Barcelona players.
The 22 players from the two teams were divided into two rows. They entered the players from the left and right sides of the St. Blair Cup. From the beginning to the end, no one touched the UEFA Champions League trophy that was within reach. It looked so attractive.
……
Taking off the training jacket, revealing the game jersey inside, Liverpool began to set up their battles.
Barcelona beat Liverpool on side guessing, so Puyol won the kick-off.
At this time, the two teams set up their positions, and their positions were basically clear, and Yang Yang admired Benitez even more from the bottom of his heart.
At least in terms of pre-match preparations, Benitez really did a good job.
Because Guardiola really put Messi in the middle, Eto'o played on the right and Henry played on the left.
If Liverpool really adopts a double defensive midfielder, it is estimated that the first half of this game will be very passive, and even a careless one may lose the opportunity.
But what Yang Yang didn't know was that while he was amazed by Guardiola's strange move and Benitez's plan for a rainy day, the Barcelona players on the opposite side, including Messi, were also surprised by Benitez's impromptu change and Guardiola's ingenious plan.
Because Yang Yang and Kuiter are standing on both sides of the center circle, this means that Liverpool has adopted a double forward style of play.
Guardiola rarely took the initiative to provoke Liverpool before the game, hoping that the Red Army could take the initiative to fight against Barcelona, but in fact he knew very well that it was impossible for Liverpool to do so.
Sometimes football games are like this, it's elusive and elusive.
…………
…………
When the referee Busacca blew the whistle to start the game, Messi quickly kicked the ball to Eto'o, who quickly passed it back to the midfielder to Busquets and then back to the defense.
Yang Yang and Dirk both sprinted forward at the same time, taking the Barcelona defense line.
One aimed at Puyol and the other at Pique. The two put pressure at the same time, coupled with the forward pressure of Gareth Barry and Gerrard on the left, Liverpool formed an aggressive momentum after the opening.
This is Liverpool's opening strategy, hoping to frustrate Barcelona's spirit from the beginning and disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
Barcelona's players looked a little nervous at the beginning. After all, many of them played in the Champions League final for the first time. Unlike Liverpool, they had played one game two years ago, and many of them had even played three Champions League finals.
In terms of experience, Liverpool is even better.
Pique made a long pass and tried to reach the frontcourt, but Skrtel headed it down.
Liverpool launched a counterattack from the left and Aurelio sent a through ball across the halfway line for Gareth Barry to receive.
Yang Yang retreated from the front and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Stopping the ball, turning around, Yang started with the ball from the left, and rushed diagonally towards the penalty area.
But as soon as he started, Busquets stepped decisively and missed the ball, but tripped Yang Yang.
The referee Busacca decisively blew his whistle and gave Liverpool a chance to set the ball in the front court, but he did not draw the card.
The Liverpool fans booed immediately.
……
This position happened to be the most comfortable angle for Yang Yang, 32 meters away, which was a bit far.
After Yang Yang put the ball away, he slowly pushed it away.
Barcelona is also on the verge of a formidable enemy, Guardiola even rushed to the sidelines and directed the players to deploy defenses.
Everyone was very nervous, obviously worried about Yang Yang's direct free kick.
In the past two or three years, Yang Yang has been good at scoring direct free kicks.
"I don't know how Yang Yang's footwork is tonight?" The on-site commentator expressed the aspirations of all the fans in the stadium and in front of the TV.
Hearing Busacca's whistle, Yang Yang took a deep breath and rushed forward quickly. After standing still with his left foot, Yang Yang directly hit a curve ball with his right foot.
An obvious muffled sound was heard at the scene, and the ball was shot out quickly, passing over the head of the wall inside the penalty area, falling rapidly, with a strong rotation, and flew to the left side of the goal.
Valdez reacted extremely quickly, flying to make a save, and stretching his right hand as far as possible.
But when he felt the ball approaching, he found that the path of the ball in mid-air had an obvious drop, which immediately made him pale with shock, and the outside world's evaluation of Yang Yang's free kick appeared in his mind.
Fatal arc, unpredictable!
Valdes thought he had been defeated, but what he didn't expect was that there was another muffled sound beside his ear.
With a bang, the ball hit the left post of the goal hard and bounced back to the penalty area.
In an instant, there was a burst of exclamation of relief.
The Liverpool players ambushing in the penalty area also rushed forward quickly. Gerrard and Dirk Dirk both went towards the ball. In the end, Dirk Didier took the first step to hit the goal, but Pique was faster and blocked Dirk's shot out of the baseline with his foot.
corner kick!
"My God, it's almost there!"
"Barcelona escaped a catastrophe. Yang Yang's direct free kick arced very erratically. Valdés couldn't even stop it at all. In the end, the goal saved Barcelona."
"Liverpool's opening attack was very threatening, especially Yang Yang, who showed his skills at the beginning, using a threatening free kick and almost breaking through Barcelona's goal."
The Liverpool fans at the scene responded with warm applause, obviously affirming Yang Yang's opening free kick, but Yang Yang himself was not satisfied because he still didn't control his free kick just now.
The game has just started, and he hasn't really entered the state yet.
If this free kick was a little later, when his body warmed up and his footwork became more adept, then the ball would really have been scored. What a pity it was an excellent chance to score!
But he believes that this free kick is enough to deter Barcelona.
