Chapter 380 Ace versus Ace

The 2017-2018 Champions League final is getting closer as both teams enter the stadium. Li Qing and Cristiano Ronaldo, as the top scorers and top stars of the two teams, are the focus of the pre-match live broadcast, and they are given more close-up shots.

Accompanied by the magnificent singing of the Champions League theme song, the broadcast screen started from Li Qing on the far left directly opposite the main stand, swept across to the right, and ended with Cristiano Ronaldo on the far right of Real Madrid.

At the same time, there is a huge round UEFA Champions League logo canvas in the middle arc of the stadium that is constantly shaken by dozens of volunteers, creating a very strong sense of déjà vu.

The Champions League theme song "Champions League" ended, and the staff and volunteers in the middle of the stadium quickly evacuated the stadium, leaving the venue for the Real Madrid players and Liverpool players in the next game.

Since Liverpool drew the visiting team's draw before the game, they took the initiative to go to Real Madrid, who had drawn the home team's draw, and shook hands one by one. Li Qing, who was walking at the back of Liverpool, had his first contact with Ronaldo before the game. It was a handshake and greeting.

The 33-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo was facing a formidable opponent, but he was still very graceful in the pre-match handshake. He gently held Li Qing's raised right hand with his right hand, and patted Li Qing's shoulder with his left hand to show encouragement.

Immediately, there was a group photo before the game, and then captains Henderson and Ramos of both teams walked to the referee Marzic to guess the ball before the game.

That is to say, the referee Mazic will take out a silver coin and then tell the captains of both sides which side they belong to, and the side that is thrown on the back of the hand is the winner and has the priority to pick the side.

In fact, before the start of most games, the side pick is determined based on the positions of the respective players, so it is not so much the right to pick the side as it is the right to kick off, because the side that wins the right to pick the side means losing the right to kick off.

The coin thrown by the referee Marzic showed that Ramos won the right to pick the edge, which means that Liverpool won the right to kick off.

For Li Qing, instead of asking for the useless right to pick the edge, it is better to have the right to kick off the ball.

Many times the blitz is initiated by the kicking team.

Real Madrid has conceded a lot of blitz goals in the Champions League, the most famous of which was Dutch forward Ma Kai. In the knockout round of the 2006-2007 Champions League, Bayern forward Ma Kai broke through the goal guarded by Casillas in less than eleven seconds.

In the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals this season, the victim was still Real Madrid. They were scored by Juventus forward Mandzukic in the 76th second of the home game.

Zidane is a very particular coach and also quite superstitious. He will not allow the team to make the same mistakes in the past. The superstition is that the starting lineup for this season's Champions League final is exactly the same as last season's Champions League final.

Before the game, Klopp thought that Bell would take up a starting position, so he made targeted arrangements. However, it is not difficult for Isco to take up the starting position. As long as he finds the video tape of Real Madrid's Champions League final last season, and he is Zidane's The technical and tactical play routines are relatively clear, and there is not much problem in dealing with them.

He had a hunch that as long as the defenders did not make mistakes, there was a 90% chance of defeating Real Madrid at the Kyiv Olympic Stadium.

Thinking of this, Klopp looked towards the goal. If there were still problems with the defense, then... Karius was the only one left.

Now the team is world-class except for the goalkeeper position.

"It seems... we have to ask the boss to buy Brazilian international Alisson this summer."

Just when Klopp's mind was wandering too far, the referee Marzic blew his whistle: "Beep~"

"aoaooaoaooaooooo——"

At the same time, fans at the Kyiv Olympic Stadium let out a tsunami-like roar, creating a fanatical atmosphere for the game.

The iconic opening remarks of China 5 commentator He Wei sounded again: "Chinese TV, Tianchao TV, the game we are broadcasting for you now is the live broadcast of the final of the UEFA Champions League in the 2017-2018 season between Real Madrid and Liverpool, wearing red jerseys and red The one wearing the shorts is Liverpool, they attack from the left side of the screen to the right, the one wearing the red jersey and white shorts is Real Madrid, they attack from the right side of the broadcast screen to the left..."

Firmino kicked the ball directly to Van Dijk at the back line. Benzema rushed over like a wild horse.

Although Van Dijk has performed very steadily in the past, the stage of the Champions League final was somewhat tense. He did not handle the ball as steadily as in the past, but directly drove the ball towards his side to attack the left.

Firmino failed to win against Varane, and Varane gave the ball to Modric.

Emre Can, Henderson and Wijnaldum cooperated with Mane to suddenly attack, compressing the space of Real Madrid players in the midfield and backcourt to get the ball.

Even though Modric was very skilled, he didn't dare to show off his skills too much. He didn't dare to hand the ball to Toni Kroos, but directly gave it to the right back Carvajal who was behind to support him.

Carvajal is very straightforward. With a full beard, he looks like he has well-developed limbs and a simple mind. In fact, the court is very high. He swings up his right foot and drives the ball towards the Liverpool defensive half.

For defensive players, they don’t seek merit but seek no fault.

Standing in the command area of ​​the home team coach, Zidane frowned and was not very satisfied with the players' actions. However, as a former player, he knew that players often focus on the overall situation and cannot always complete the tactics formulated by the coach before the game.

Therefore, he feels that the team should focus on stability, and as for rushing to the start...it depends on the situation.

However, the next game did not go as Zidane expected. The football kicked into the frontcourt by Carvajal was controlled by Ronaldo. Real Madrid players rushed to support. Liverpool players filed back to defend their own half, leaving only Li Qing. One at the front.

Cristiano Ronaldo took advantage of the cover of his teammates. He took the ball and suddenly accelerated in from the left wing. Then he shot angrily from about 30 meters away from the goal. The football was like a cannonball. For the sake of safety, goalkeeper Karius chose to use his fist to hit the football. Blocked out.

"wowowoowoooooooo——"

The Kyiv Olympic Stadium echoed with the lamentations of Real Madrid fans.

One minute later, Liverpool got an opportunity to attack. The football came to the feet of Li Qing, who was attacking on the right. He used his superb foot skills to pass Marcelo, Modric and Casemiro in succession, without waiting for Ramos to step forward and block the ball. Blocked, a powerful and heavy long-range shot came directly.

Navas did not dare to neglect and lifted the football over the crossbar with one palm.

"wowoowooooooowo——"

Liverpool fans held their heads in regret and subconsciously let out a burst of regretful cheers.

I don’t know if Ronaldo was influenced by Li Qing’s retaliation. He then completed high-quality shots in succession, forcing Karius to make a key save.

Less than half a minute after the Liverpool fans here screamed, Li Qing over there completed a higher-quality long-range shot through personal dribbling and cooperation. If it weren't for Navas's quick reaction, Liverpool would have opened the scoring at the Kiev Olympic Stadium!

"Aren't Li Qing and Ronaldo in great shape?"

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei couldn't help but said as he looked at the two people he could buy for the broadcast.
