Chapter 392 The Champions League final begins, and the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City!
May 6, Berlin Olympic Stadium.
Two years ago, Lin Quan had won the German Cup here with his Werder Bremen teammates.
After two years, I returned to this venue again, but I had a completely different feeling.
"Time flies so fast!"
When warming up before the game, De Bruyne put his hands on his hips, looked around the stadium where almost half of the people were sitting, and sighed.
"Oh, yes!"
Lin Quan nodded. Two years ago, he and De Bruyne were unknown players, and they only competed in the German Cup.
But now, both of them are top stars, and Lin Quan is even the hottest in football, and even has a chance to become the number one existence.
Compared with two years ago, the status of the two is no longer the same.
Time flies, but what remains unchanged is the human heart.
Lin Quan saw a group of lovely people in the stands, this is a group of Werder Bremen fans.
They are wearing the green jersey of the Parrot Legion. Most of the jersey numbers are the No. 10 worn by Lin Quan in Werder Bremen and the No. 6 worn by De Bruyne.
Among the blue and red-blue, this touch of green is particularly eye-catching.
There are not many of them, only about two or three hundred, but their appearance still moved Lin Quan and De Bruyne very much.
"Father, Brother Lin Quan, he saw us!"
In the stands, 12-year-old Grenny waved his arms excitedly and shouted.
Next to Grenny sat Mr. William and Ms. Anna and his sister Angel.
When Lin Quan was on loan at Werder Bremen, he once stayed at their home for a year.
"Quick, quick, print out the banner we made in advance!"
Seeing that Lin Quan noticed them, under the command of Mr. William, several people hastily unfurled a banner - Werder Bremen will always be your home!
Seeing this warm banner, both Lin Quan and De Bruyne were very moved.
Lin Quan's heart moved, and he ran to the sidelines to find a signature pen and a football, and wrote his name on the football.
The audience at the scene saw his move, and they were all very curious:
The game hasn't started yet. Is Lin Quan going to send autographed footballs to the fans?
Who is so lucky to have the chance to get Lin Huang's autographed football?
Lin Quan's actions not only attracted the attention of the fans, even the camera locked the lens firmly on Lin Quan's body.
Even the photographer is very curious, what is this guy going to do?
After Lin Quan signed his name, he put the ball on the lawn near the stands after the handwriting dried up, looked up at the area where Werder Bremen fans were sitting, and took a few steps back.
He kicked the ball toward the stands while running, and landed accurately in the area where Werder Bremen fans were.
Grenny saw a black shadow flying towards him, subconsciously stretched out his hands, and the football fell lightly into his hands.
The football's landing point is extremely precise, and the strength is just right, so that the fans who saw this kick couldn't help applauding it.
Mr. William was also very shocked. Unexpectedly, after two years of absence, Lin Quan's footwork and control of strength have reached this level.
When the football flew towards his son just now, he was worried that it would hurt someone, it seemed completely unnecessary!
……
In the other half, everyone in Barcelona was also warming up.
After finishing a set of training, Messi couldn't help but look back to the other half, searching for Lin Quan's figure in the crowd.
When he saw Lin Quan's move, he was shocked:
Has this guy's footwork reached such a terrifying level?
Feeling the gaze coming from behind, Lin Quan turned his head and looked at Messi from the air.
He stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of clenching his fist to cheer, signaling for Messi to show his best form in this game, and the two had a good fight!
Messi seemed to be full of confidence. After nodding his head heavily, he returned the same action to Lin Quan!
Both of them are full of confidence in winning the championship, but there is only one champion.
After this game, one person is destined to be disappointed!
……
At 18 o'clock, with the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.
The referee for this game is Güneit Chakir, from Turkey.
This person had made many controversial penalties in favor of Real Madrid in the matches between Manchester United and Real Madrid, which caused strong protests from Manchester United after the game.
Arranging such a referee to enforce the game made Manchester City and Barcelona feel very disturbed.
Manchester City is worried that Chakir will favor the La Liga team, while Barcelona is worried that this person is a supporter of Real Madrid and will blow their black whistle.
However, shortly after the start of the game, the doubts in the hearts of the Barcelona people were completely dispelled.
In the 4th minute of the game, Barcelona launched an attack and Rakitic scored in an offside position when receiving the ball.
However, the linesman and the referee did not call a foul, but instead believed that the ball was a valid goal.
This penalty immediately made the Manchester City players on the field unhappy.
They rushed up to surround the referee and asked the referee for an explanation.
The ball was obviously offside, but neither the linesman nor the referee said anything. Are they both blind?
"Hey, Mr. Referee, this is an offside goal, you can watch the replay on the big screen!"
Lin Quan pointed to the big screen above the court and said to Chakir.
The slow motion of the big screen at the scene is replaying the goal just now. From the slow motion playback, it can be clearly seen that this is an offside goal.
However, even with the hard evidence, Chakir still refused to change the penalty, and still believed that the goal was valid.
Even in order to maintain his authority, he also showed a yellow card to Manchester City captain Kompany who participated in the siege.
Kompany clenched his fists angrily and wanted to beat this guy up, but fortunately he was stopped by a few teammates.
"Captain, calm down, we are behind in the score now, if you are sent off again, we have no chance to play this game!"
Lin Quan was also very angry, but he forced himself to calm down.
At this time, you can't let your emotions blind your reason, and you can still play after one goal behind, but if there is one less player, it is really hopeless.
On the sidelines, Guardiola protested angrily to the fourth official for a long time, but the fourth official just replied innocuously, "If there is a problem, you can report the situation to UEFA" and it was over.
Guardiola vomited blood angrily, but he did not continue to pester the fourth official.
It is obviously impossible for the referee to change the fourth official's penalty, but this result is too unfavorable for Manchester City.
Facing Barcelona, which is in full swing this season, they fell behind by one goal at the beginning, and the central defender also received a yellow card.
This is simply the beginning of hell difficulty!
Originally, they had a lot of tactical options, but now that they are behind, Manchester City has no other choice and can only be forced to attack.
This is very different from playing against Bayern at the Allianz Arena.
The reason why they dared to play against Bayern at the Allianz Arena at the beginning was because they had 2 goal difference and would have a psychological advantage.
Secondly, they are on the road, and the more away goals the better for them.
But now the situation is completely different, this is the final of the Champions League, the winner is determined by one game, there is no home and away game.
They chose to play against their opponents at this time because they were already behind in the score. On the psychological level, Manchester City was already at a disadvantage.
Thinking of this, Guardiola was furious, wishing to greet the referee's family.
On Barcelona's side, the unexpected lead at the start gave Barcelona players and fans a reassurance.
Although many Barcelona players and fans saw it, it was an offside goal.
But the referee thought the goal was effective, and they naturally accepted this unexpected surprise with peace of mind.
"Hehe, Manchester City is nothing more than that, they didn't even make it to 4 minutes!"
Some Barcelona fans even got cheap and behaved, and began to mock Manchester City.
If you don't talk about the fact that the offside misjudgment is aside, it is really embarrassing to concede the ball in only 4 minutes of the opening.
There are naturally no underdogs who can reach the Champions League final.
When everyone is a top team, it is indeed a bit unreasonable for the opponent to break through their own goal so easily.
"I think Manchester City's defense is like this. I'm afraid Barcelona will score no less than three goals in this game!"
Barcelona fans look very optimistic, the powerful power of the MSN combination, they have witnessed time and time again in the league and the Champions League.
With such a perfect start, the mentality of the Barcelona team will be very relaxed, and their performance will get better and better.
As long as they show their full strength, Barcelona fans believe that no one in this world can stop them!
Seeing that the team scored a goal, Enrique didn't get up from his seat, but just applauded lightly, showing the demeanor of a master.
For this game, he prepared painstakingly for a long time.
Unlike Barcelona during the Martino period, Enrique was very aware of the importance of Messi to the team before the game.
Of course, he also knows that opponents will also guard against Messi.
Therefore, in this game, he gave up the right side and asked Messi to play the left side instead.
This move really exceeded the opponent's expectations. Just now, Barcelona's goal was instigated by Messi from the left.
Although due to injuries, Messi's explosive power has declined, and his breakthrough ability has declined compared to his peak period.
However, on this planet, he is still one of the top breakthrough players, and there are only a handful of people who can reach his level.
Due to Messi's great threatening ability, as soon as he starts, two or three people on the opposite side will attack him.
This has a great impact on Manchester City's formation, which has taken away a lot of Manchester City's troops in the middle, increased the space for Rakitic, Iniesta and others to move, and increased the threat of Barcelona's attack in the middle.
Everyone knows that MSN is the trident of my Barcelona, and it can destroy the city and pull out the stronghold.
But if I put the focus of the attack on the midfielder who goes in from the back, how should you respond?
Thinking of this, Enrique looked expectantly at Guardiola on the other side.
He really wants to see how Guardiola responds to his move?
Guardiola only watched for a few minutes before he had an insight into the opponent's intentions.
However, he didn't make too many adjustments to the team's formation, he just called Kanter and told him in his ear.
When Messi plays under him, the area of activity is the right side.
Corresponding to Manchester City is the left side, and at this time, Enrique changed Messi to the left side, corresponding to Manchester City's right side.
The right side of Manchester City happens to be the area where Lin Quan is often active.
In other words, Enrique is using Duzi's tactics to deal with Manchester City.
I have to say, this trick is very clever.
Because after Messi is removed from Barcelona, the overall strength of the remaining players is half a grade stronger than Manchester City.
Especially with Iniesta, Suarez and Neymar in their team.
Even without Messi, these people have the ability to control the situation.
Therefore, it is safe for Barcelona to trade with Manchester City.
However, Guardiola doesn't think so.
Before he personally coached Lin Quan, he might be very worried about whether Lin Quan and Messi would be blown up by Messi in a direct encounter on the court. After all, he knew better than anyone how terrifying Messi's strength was.
But after coaching Lin Quan for half a season, Guardiola realized that his worries were unnecessary.
The current Lin Quan can be said to have reached or even surpassed the strength of Messi at his peak.
If he and Messi exchanged money, Manchester City would not necessarily be the loser!
Moreover, the difference between Lin Quan and Messi is that although Messi's left and right feet are well balanced, it is not without reverse feet.
His inward cut method is an inverted foot inward cut type, but on the left side, the foot that is limited to touch the ball is on the outside, so the threat of Messi's inward cut shot is greatly reduced, and the threat of passing the ball is increased.
Therefore, Enrique put Messi on the left, sacrificing Messi's threat to the goal, and increasing his role in the frontcourt, especially on the left.
Barcelona's left winger is Neymar, and the left back is Alba.
Both of these two have extremely strong offensive capabilities, and they cooperate very well with Messi.
Messi joins the left, which can deliver a large number of shells for the two and amplify the threat of the two.
In this way, it can play the role of one plus one greater than two, further increasing Barcelona's offensive threat on the left, completely defeating Manchester City's right, and minimizing Lin Quan's threat.
Enrique's calculation is quite good, however, the direction of the plot seems to be different from Enrique's imagination.
In the 11th minute of the game, Barcelona Messi came to the left again, trying to replicate the previous attack.
However, Manchester City had long been prepared for their routines. As soon as Messi was in position, De Bruyne, Lin Quan, Kanter and others rushed over, forming a half-encirclement net against Messi.
Messi just glanced at it and didn't really care.
He has been in the game for many years and has been double-teamed by his opponents too many times to count.
Among the opponent's three players, except for Kanter who is a defensive champion and needs him to be more vigilant, the remaining two are offensive players and their defensive ability is not strong.
I saw him carrying the ball slowly, and after De Bruyne approached, he suddenly dropped his shoulders. After the cheating De Bruyne stretched out his feet, he quickly wiped the opponent, suddenly speeded up, and rushed forward along the sidewalk.
This is Messi's most proud move. The change of rhythm between static and movement can catch most defensive players off guard.
However, this time Messi made a mistake.
