The Champions League theme song "Champions League" played from the speakers at the Stadium of Light.

This majestic song full of religious praise instantly set off a frenzied atmosphere in the audience.

"aaoaooaoaooooo——"

The fans became excited one by one and made deafening roars.

A series of necessary pre-match procedures have been completed, and the enthusiastic fans have rested and prepared for the upcoming Champions League final.

"Beep~"

With the whistle of Italian referee Daniele Osato, the 2019-2020 Champions League final was officially announced.

Bayern, which has a kick-off advantage, is very different from what many media and fans speculated before the game. They did not focus on stability as the public speculated, but adopted an extremely aggressive start.

Lewandowski, Koeman, Perisic, Thomas Muller, and Thiago all went into the attack, and the two full-backs moved forward quite a bit without being conservative at all.

Especially when he saw the two full-backs pressing forward almost parallel to the wingers, the pressure he felt increased as time went on.

Flick, who was standing in the coach's technical area, had a heavy face, obviously worried about the future of the team.

Full-back Alphonso Davies, who was preventing Arsenal from quickly counterattacking, felt the pressure from behind. With his back to the direction of attack, he could only kick the ball to Neuer near the center circle.

Apparently Arsenal fans applauded Martin for his superb jumping ability and accurate judgment of where to land.

Some of Bayern's famous players sitting in the VIP seats frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Flick's tactics.

Most of the eyes of neutral fans are focused on Martin, obviously wanting to see the outstanding performance of this new era football king on the court.

Facing Bayern's almost mercury-like attack, Arsenal, led by Martin, used a wide range of coordination to compress the space required for Bayern's attack.

"Bayern! Bayern!!!"

Frick hesitated.

However, with the continuous assistance of Martin and Kanter, there were no problems on the defensive end. It is just that the goals these fans wanted to see have not yet appeared.

Countless teams have tried to play it safe against Arsenal in the past, but the result?
No team ended well.

"what can we do about it?"

The Bayern fans in the audience were as excited as children when they saw their beloved team playing so actively, dancing and cheering for the team.

If the defense still loses the championship, it will feel aggrieved.

A deafening roar rang out over the Stadium of Light.

However, some famous players were pleasantly surprised by Flick's tactical choices, and were even full of admiration.

The quality was pretty good, with the football flying towards Boateng who took off in the middle of the penalty area with a strong internal rotation.

Central 5 commentator He Wei, who was broadcasting the starting lineups of both sides, changed the subject: "Bayern Munich's start is very different from what we imagined. They played very actively. Maybe the result may be different from Arsenal's past opponents."

Kahn, who currently serves as Bayern's senior executive, is particularly satisfied with Flick's tactics. He hopes that the team can play a different style at the Stadium of Light.

At least I tried.

Goretzka's wide-ranging movement can bring additional creativity and propulsion capabilities to Bayern's attack in the middle.

Alphonso Davies is the current offensive role that Bayern relies on very much. His breakthrough on the left is very sharp. Together with Koeman, who is also good at breakthrough, Arsenal's defense on the right is under great pressure.

If there is no way to score a goal in a short period of time in a surprise battle, then it is very likely to suffer a devastating blow.

"..."

The Arsenal fans in the audience were surprised by Bayern's comprehensive attack, but they were not worried for their beloved team.

Taking a step back, it doesn't matter even if we lose the game.

The football shot up from the ground and flew towards the Arsenal penalty area. Lewandowski didn't know whether he only had eyes for the football or it was intentional. After he took off, he knocked down Leno who also took off and reached out to pick up the ball...

Thiago can not only thread the needle, but also play a timely transfer role on the offensive end.

Ferland Mendy saw the moment when Kimmich made a cross, fell to the ground to block it, and shoveled the football towards the penalty area out of the baseline.

As we all know, Arsenal's defensive system is solid. Once there is no way to score, what will happen is a storm of goals.

"aoaoaoaoaoaoaooo——"

Soon after, a red figure was pulling green onions, flashed in front of Boateng at a speed visible to the naked eye, twisted his waist and shook his head to push the ball far outside the penalty area.

You can attack as you wish, but you won't score a goal anyway.

Arsenal's overall defensive ability is excellent, the conversion rate from defense to offense is extremely high, and the scoring rate ranks first in Europe.

Perhaps, tough offense will bring hope to the team to win the Champions League again after 7 years.

As long as the European hegemon Arsenal scores the first goal, the rhythm of the subsequent game will completely fall into the opponent's hands, and there will be no room for maneuver.

Naturally, Neuer did not dare to show off on the pitch of the Champions League final. He directly drove the football kicked by Alphonso Davies towards the opponent's half.

Thiago takes a corner kick from the right.

As long as I have Martin here, I'm going to win.

Aubameyang, who was chasing Alphonso Davies, pounced on his old rival Bayern goalkeeper without losing speed.

In the 8th minute, Lewandowski passed the ball to Muller in front of the top of the penalty area with Van Dijk behind him. The latter faked a shot and passed the ball to Kimmich, who advanced to the right rib.

The football that was supposed to be picked off by Leno had no restraints and fell straight into the unguarded goal.

All the Bayern fans were excited and cheered.

"wuwuuwuuuuu——"

"Beep~"

Arsenal fans booed harshly, and the referee Daniele Osato blew his whistle. He raised his right hand with his palm forward, indicating that Lewandowski had charged the goalkeeper and the goal was invalid.

The boos that echoed throughout the audience were instantly replaced by applause.

Lewandowski also spread his hands with a puzzled look on his face, indicating that he had not committed a foul.

Immediately, the on-site director gave a video replay. Looking at the slow motion, Leno had already touched the football with his hands raised after taking off. It was Lewandowski's side collision that caused the ball to be missed.

Running into the goalie is totally valid.

Leno was fine after being tested by the team doctor, but for the protection of the goalkeeper, the game was paused for a while, and he did not need to leave the field after receiving treatment.

After about three minutes passed, Arsenal prepared to launch an attack from the backcourt. The Bayern players had no intention of retreating to half-court defense and looked like they were going to defend from a high position.

Leno, who was already planning to take a big kick, saw that captain Martin was not afraid of Thomas Muller and Goretzka who were following behind him, and kicked the ball without any hesitation. Bayern's high defense was obviously premeditated. It seemed that only Muller and Goretzka were guarding Martin. When Leno passed the ball, Lewandowski and Koeman pounced at the same time, which means that Martin will receive the ball. Will face four-man marking.

Martin, who had a wide field of vision, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an imperceptible smile.

He had already observed the overall situation when he retreated to receive the ball. With his back to the direction of attack, he twisted his waist and raised his left foot to meet the ball and kicked the ball to the right rear of his body.

Goretzka, who was following closely behind on the right, and Lewandowski, who was on the front right, were heartbroken. They obviously did not expect Martin to do this.

The ball shot up from the Arsenal half-court, about 25 meters away from the goal, and flew towards the offensive left rib. Its smooth movement immediately set off a fanatical atmosphere in the audience.

"Oh My God!"

"Pierre Aubameyang!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray saw a red figure appear on the switching screen from the left side of the court at a speed visible to the naked eye, rushing towards Martin's unsightly turn and long diagonal pass.

"wowowoooooooo——"

Bayern fans in the audience let out a burst of exclamations.

Arsenal fans then let out a huge roar like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Arteta, who was standing in the coach's technical area, naturally clenched his fists. Bayern head coach Flick's pupils shrank, clearly giving off a look of panic.

Kimmich's speed is a shortcoming, and he had the task of high-position defense before. Martin's long diagonal pass without looking at anyone is very accurate, with just enough advance, which means that only right center back Boateng is available.

Boateng's speed is still outstanding at the central defender level, but compared to the speedy Aubameyang, he is not even a bit worse.

The most important thing is that high-position defense is integral. In order to complete high-position defense, the team must be integrated into a unit that advances and retreats together, which means that the overall formation is relatively forward.

Aubameyang made a premeditated move, while Boateng moved forward first and then suddenly stopped and turned around to start accelerating.

The speeds are not at the same level. As the running distance increases, their positions become more obvious.

The fans at the scene can clearly see Aubameyang gradually getting rid of Boateng half a body, one body, one half body...

Goalkeeper Neuer's strategy in this game is different from before. He has experienced many attempts by Martin to drop goals, and his position in this game is relatively low.

Facing the long pass from Martin to Aubameyang, he was unable to make the first clearance as usual.

Aubameyang, who was running at full speed, stopped and moved the ball to the empty area in front of the top of the penalty area.

Neuer, who did not attack immediately, naturally would not run out again. He chose to wait for the opportunity to attack in the penalty area.

Aubameyang himself has good single-handed ball skills, and he was instilled by Martin's 100% single-handed teaching. Facing Bayern + German national team double main goalkeeper Neuer, he did not feel any emotional inferiority, nor was he affected by the fact that the game was the Champions League final. The mentality is extremely stable.

In the blink of an eye, Aubameyang caught up with the football that had been stopped and walked out before, and directly adjusted his steps. He stepped on the top circle of the penalty area with his left foot and struck with his right heel.

Neuer was caught off guard and his belated reaction obviously failed to keep up.

Aubameyang's non-stop ball directly hit the goal and was close to the ground. Neuer, who was half a beat slow to react, was slow to get off the ground. His body had not fully reached the ground, and the football that was close to the ground had already rushed over first. Crossing the goal line and crashing into an unguarded empty goal...

“Goooooooooooooooooal——”

The commentator's drawn-out voice sounded in unison from the commentary box at the Stadium of Light.

"The game went into the 11th minute! Aubameyang received a long diagonal pass from Martin who kept turning the ball and broke Neuer's guarded goal! The defending champion Arsenal led the German giant Bayern Munich 1:0!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei gave an impassioned explanation.

"Bayern Munich's continuous attacks failed, and Arsenal used an extremely simple attack to break the deadlock and lead 1:0."

Football commentators were full of praise for Aubameyang's goal.

Aubameyang was extremely excited when he scored, celebrating the opening goal with his iconic somersault!
Head coach Arteta raised his arms and shouted excitedly, venting the ecstasy brought by the goal.

Bayern head coach Flick half-opened his mouth, huge pressure was rushing towards him, as if he had anticipated what kind of verbal criticism he would receive after the game.

"Why don't you defend yourself well? You have to show off!"

"So what if all the teams that faced Arsenal's defense in the past lost? Can you prove that the same is true for the game you lost?"

"You ruined Bayern's Triple Crown! Get out of class! You must get out of class!!"

……

Thinking of this, Frick closed his eyes in pain.

The Bayern players on the field looked at each other, obviously not expecting that the game would develop in this way.

Originally, I wanted to use continuous attacks to take the lead, then wear out Arsenal's patience, and then look for opportunities to expand the score...

Unexpectedly, Arsenal would take advantage of an opportunity that was not an opportunity to break the deadlock.

The Bayern fans in the audience were dejected, as if they had seen the result in advance.

Social media platforms immediately commented on Flick's chosen tactics. They believed that the tactics of rushing to the start were very unreasonable, otherwise they could still compete with Arsenal.

As the score falls behind, the next game will definitely enter Arsenal's rhythm, and it will become more difficult to win the game.

The live broadcast restored the entire process of Arsenal's goal.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said with emotion: "Martin controlled the situation of the game really well. He was able to capture the few offensive opportunities with his back completely turned to the offense. Aubameyang's speed, His skills were also perfectly displayed, handling Martin's long pass well, and he was also very calm when facing Neuer, and his superb shooting was fully demonstrated."

"Arsenal like this are simply difficult to beat."

Guest commentator Xu Yang said loudly.

Most commentators actually gave praise to Martin for his exquisite long diagonal pass.

After all, it was his pass that led to Aubameyang's goal.

The game restarted, and Bayern, which had a kick-off advantage, lost the momentum of giving up after the start and became steady and steady.

Head coach Flick didn't say anything. Judging from Martin's assist for Aubameyang's goal, it has been proven that his bold tactics before the game were wrong.

If we continue to hold high the offensive banner, it is very likely that we will fall behind by two goals.

At that point, the remaining game time will become meaningless garbage time.

In order to expose the possibility of winning, it is necessary to change the tactical play back to steady and steady play.

Arsenal, who were leading the score, did not rush to launch a goal to expand the score. They were extremely patient with the ball at their feet and never blindly attacked forward. Instead, they constantly involved Bayern's defense through passes, looking for opportunities for a fatal blow.

Bayern also became patient enough, so that both sides went back and forth without creating an absolute chance to score.

Time passes so quickly in high-level matches. In the blink of an eye, thirty minutes later, the scoreboard on the big screen still showed Arsenal leading Bayern 1:0.

Fans from both sides of the auditorium were also polarized. Arsenal fans were elated, while Bayern fans were depressed.
