Chapter 539 England explodes!
To be honest, when Ling Feng came across Ronaldo’s social media, he almost couldn’t hold his breath.
As expected of you!
How did he have the courage to post this kind of movie-like lines on his social media?
However, considering that Brother Luo is an extremely narcissistic personality, he was relieved.
Cristiano Ronaldo's spirit of never admitting defeat is worthy of admiration.
Even team stars and the media are trumpeting Real Madrid's dominance in the Champions League.
But in Ling Feng’s view, the outcome of this game has been decided from the beginning.
Of course, from the perspective of paper strength, the star-studded Galaxy Battleship is definitely better than Manchester United is stronger.
However, if football matches were only based on paper strength, then last year when their paper strength was not as good as Real Madrid, it would have been impossible for them to win the final and win the Champions League!
What's more, will Manchester United strengthen their lineup this summer? !
Judging from the starting eleven alone, there is actually not much difference in the strength of the lineups between Manchester United and Real Madrid.
The Red Devils trident of Ibrahimovic, Lukaku and Rashford, and the BBC combination of Benzema, Bale and Ronaldo, perhaps the latter is slightly better;
By Ling The Red Devils midfielder, led by Feng and assisted by Kante and Herrera, is already better than the midfield three composed of Modric, Kroos and Casemiro!
On the defense line, Luke Shaw, Maguire, Bailly and Valencia each have their own merits compared to Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal.
In the goalkeeper position, De Gea is not far behind Navas.
As for the depth of the bench, both sides also have some monsters who can change the situation of the battle to a certain extent.
For example, Lingard, Martial;
For example, Asensio, Isco
Judging from the competitive state of this season, Manchester United clearly has the upper hand!
Manchester United has not lost in all competitions so far and won the domestic treble!
However, Real Madrid's status in all competitions has been ups and downs, and they have lost ten games throughout the season!
However, in the Champions League, Real Madrid seems to have divine help, which is extremely mysterious.
This season, many Real Madrid fans are joking:
Do you still need to watch Real Madrid’s Champions League games?
After a few random kicks in the first eighty-nine minutes, I don't know why I won at the last moment!
The way to win is too mysterious for normal people to understand.
At this point, Zidane has also been nicknamed "Qi Xuanzong" by fans.
In the eyes of noble Real Madrid fans, Manchester United, the team that once defeated them in the Champions League final, is a thief!
In last year's Champions League final, Manchester United stole the Champions League title that belonged to them, shattering their dream of defending the Champions League.
Especially Ling Feng, who scored the winning goal, has since become one of the two most hated players by Real Madrid fans, second only to Messi!
So, no matter what, this time they must win against Manchester United and get back the Big Ears Cup that belongs to them!
. . .
With everyone in the football world looking forward to it, time soon came to the day of the final.
There is such a place that once allowed the Bundesliga giant Bayern to return home in defeat;
It also allowed the Matador Legion to sweep Italy with four goals and decide the country in one battle;
That is the Olympic International Stadium in Kiev!
As the anxious midsummer heat hits, the one thing that makes the entire football world excited before the World Cup is the Champions League final!
May 26, the day of the finals.
The Olympic International Stadium, which can accommodate 55,000 people, is already full.
The Premier League giants Manchester United and the La Liga team Real Madrid will decide a new European king in this stadium!
There are several highlights in this final:
The first one is the battle between Ling Feng and Ronaldo for the Champions League Golden Boot!
As the stars of Manchester United and Real Madrid, Ling Feng and Cristiano Ronaldo have both scored 16 goals in the Champions League this season and are tied for the top scorer list.
Only one goal away from the single-season Champions League scoring record set by Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the finals, Manchester United and Real Madrid rely largely on their own stars to win.
Therefore, whether the two can score in the final may determine the outcome of the game!
The second one is whether Real Madrid can stop Manchester United from completing their Champions League defense!
Last year, Manchester United was still a stumbling block for Real Madrid to defend its title;
This year, Real Madrid became the last brave man to stop the Red Devil from staining the entire European continent with blood!
In just one year, the identities of Manchester United and Real Madrid have been interchanged.
I have to say, it really makes people marvel at the charm of football!
In this year's Champions League, Real Madrid can be said to have reached the finals among many strong opponents.
However, in the group stage, the Galacticos did not show their dominance.
Especially the double defeat by Tottenham at home and away has raised a big question mark as to whether this Champions League king can go further.
However, after entering the knockout rounds, Real Madrid used their performance to prove that they are still one of the strongest teams in Europe!
When facing strong teams such as Paris, Juventus and Liverpool, Real Madrid defeated their opponents one by one.
Although the process was somewhat difficult, with Ronaldo's superb performance and Qi Zuxuanxue's protection, Real Madrid finally achieved the feat of reaching the finals four times in five years!
Looking at their opponent Manchester United, from the beginning of the group stage, they showed a powerful dominance like a devil coming to the world.
Victory in the group stage, and swept Sevilla, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich all the way in the knockout rounds, reaching the final stage with a complete victory!
Moreover, Manchester United's dominance of the game is better than Real Madrid.
Therefore, in the pre-match predictions given by major gambling companies, Manchester United's winning odds are still slightly lower than Real Madrid.
An hour before the game, both sides also announced the starting lineup.
Real Madrid still uses the iconic 433 tactical formation:
Goalkeeper Navas;
The four backs are Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, and Marcelo;
The three midfielders are Casemiro, Modric and Kroos;
The three-pointer The halberds are Ronaldo, Benzema and Isco!
This lineup has no changes from the starting eleven in last year’s Champions League final!
However, compared to last year, Real Madrid's bench lineup lacks the two "bench gangsters" Morata and Ronaldo, as well as defense backbones such as Danilo and Pepe.
Instead, they were Ceballos, Theo, Llorente, Mayoral and other young players.
Compared with last season’s luxurious bench of “one lineup for the league and one lineup for the Champions League”, after players such as Morata, Ronaldo, Danilo, and Pepe left the team one after another, Real Madrid The depth of the bench has declined.
As for the ongoing problem of lack of rotation players in the midfielder position, Real Madrid only solved it by recycling young player Llorente.
Perhaps it is because of the serious loss of the lineup, coupled with the fact that main players such as Bell and Benzema are suffering from injuries and the substitute lineup cannot come up in time, which has led to Real Madrid, which has always had a luxurious lineup, this season. Under the pressure of the two-front battle between the league and the Champions League, the league collapsed!
As for Manchester United, there are two changes in the starting eleven compared to last year.
Rooney, the right winger, became Lukaku, and Rojo, the center back, became Maguire.
The changes in these two positions are obvious improvements.
Compared to Rooney, Lukaku is younger and more impactful;
Compared to Rojo, Maguire is calmer and has more outstanding ball-playing ability.
On the bench, there are also players such as Lingard, Martial, Mata, Neves, Rojo and others.
Seeing the rosters of both sides, even the commentator couldn't help but sigh:
This is indeed the pinnacle duel between the highest-level clubs in Europe!
It is worth mentioning that the values of Manchester United and Real Madrid are exactly the top two teams in the world.
Real Madrid is first, Manchester United is second!
In other words, this is also the most expensive showdown in the world!
On the eve of the game, players from both sides also gathered in the player tunnel.
Compared with the excitement inside the stadium, the players' tunnel was filled with silent smoke. Unlike last year, Ling Feng, wearing the captain's armband, no longer shook hands with his opponents.
Just stood quietly at the front of the queue, looking straight ahead, not knowing what I was thinking.
C Ronaldo, who was standing at the end of the Real Madrid queue, did not take the initiative to say hello to Ling Feng.
However, before taking the field, his eyes were fixed on the Red Devils No. 7 who had defeated him.
The determined eyes seemed to be saying:
"This time, I will not lose!"
In the end, it was the Red Devils and Manchester United who broke the curse and completed the victory. Defending the title after the restructuring?
Or will Real Madrid complete its revenge and regain its European hegemony?
The answer will be revealed in ninety minutes!
. . .
Beep!
With a long whistle from the famous Serbian whistler Mazic, the Champions League final officially begins!
Real Madrid kicked off first.
Facing Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United did not press high.
This work was compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Because both Kroos and Modric have the ability to pass the ball over the top.
Moreover, Real Madrid's ability to play the ball in the backcourt is also good.
What's more, last year they defeated Real Madrid with their low defense and sharp quick counterattacks!
Therefore, Mourinho also continued to set up his bus calmly on the stage of the final.
Real Madrid, who had control of the ball, did not attack aggressively.
Perhaps it was a final that determined the outcome. Both sides were very cautious in the first ten minutes.
Every time I attack, I carefully test the depth of the opponent.
Until the sixteenth minute of the game, Manchester United took the lead!
Ling Feng retreated to catch the ball. After turning around, he directly sent a long diagonal pass to Lukaku who was pulling out on the right.
The "Belgian Soupmaker" took the ball and glanced at Marcelo in front of him, suddenly made a soup, stepped on the accelerator and forcibly overtook the "World No. 1 left" Marcelo, and then all the way Cut inside to the front area of the penalty area and shoot directly!
With a bang, the ball was directly hit into the second-floor stands!
This wave of operations also caused a sigh in the stands.
However, Ling Feng and other Manchester United teammates just think they are gay.
In this game, Manchester United still gave up the ball, seized the opportunity to switch offense and defense, and fought back against Real Madrid!
Real Madrid, which is stuck in a positional war, is also in the same situation as last year.
We had the ball but it was all invalid passes, unable to find much space for passing or breakthrough.
Moreover, Real Madrid players clearly felt that Manchester United's defense was tighter than last year.
Even in the past year, Zidane and the coaching staff have been studying Manchester United's tactics.
However, they still didn't find a good way to crack Manchester United's dense defense.
The two magic weapons to break the dense defense, set kicks and long shots, have no effect on Manchester United at all.
Especially the tall central defender named Maguire, almost no overhead ball or cross ball can pass his head.
As for long-range shots, Ling Feng and Kante, two super midfielders with unlimited physical fitness, will not leave any gaps to give Real Madrid players a chance to kick in the middle.
Of course, if it were so easy to crack, Manchester United wouldn't be able to defeat all their opponents this season!
Just when Real Madrid was at their wits end, Manchester United discovered the truth after twenty minutes of testing and observation:
What are you doing?
How did this Real Madrid team change? !
In terms of passing control, Real Madrid does not have the midfield control like Manchester City and Barcelona;
In terms of counterattack, they did not give Real Madrid any chance to counterattack.
Therefore, compared to last year, they suddenly felt that this Real Madrid team was weaker than last year.
Of course, what they don’t know is that they are stronger than last year!
That’s why I think Real Madrid has become weaker!
When the game reached the 32nd minute, the situation on the field suddenly changed!
C Ronaldo took the ball on the left wing and hit the wall with Benzema who came to meet him.
However, Benzema's heel strike was slightly lighter, which prevented Ronaldo from getting the ball and also gave Herrera a chance to steal the ball.
With one quick step, he grabbed the ball and without any delay, he immediately sent a direct pass to Ling Feng in the middle.
The latter made a spin in Marseille, passed Modric who was rushing forward, and then advanced with the ball.
After pushing past half-court, he made a pass with the instep of his outside foot and found Lukaku who was firmly inserted behind him on the right.
Because Marcelo was standing slightly forward just now, he couldn't catch up at all. He could only use all his strength to chase after Kaku's butt.
But this time Kaku learned the lesson.
He dribbled the ball with his left foot and cut all the way inside. He came to the right side of the penalty area and tried to shoot into the far corner. Then he faked a shot and dunked for real. He dunked to the right with his left foot, and then fell down suddenly with his right foot. Triangle cross to the middle!
When the Real Madrid fans followed the ball, they were surprised to find that the Red Devils' greatest danger appeared at the end of the ball!
I saw Red Devil No. 7 stop with the outside instep of his right foot and stop the ball steadily.
The killing intent in his eyes is beyond words!
"Don't let him kick up!"
"Go up!"
In the shouts of Navas and Zidane, Ramos and Varane both acted with fearless spirit, Rushing forward suddenly
At this moment, there was only one thought in their hearts:
Ling Feng must not be allowed to take a long shot!
However, the speed of Red Devil No. 7 is still one step faster than them!
I saw Ling Feng swinging his right leg at an extremely fast speed, and then with a "bang" sound, he kicked the instep to explode!
The next second, the ball shot out with a swish!
Perhaps only a professional high-speed camera can see it. The entire ball without any rotation drew a straight and hard-to-capture trajectory, like an extremely sharp sword, cutting across the sky above the Olympic Stadium.
Of course, with such a terrifying ball speed, even Navas could not stop the ball from flying past his fingertips, and finally got into the upper right corner of the goal!
With a swish, the net splashed with layers of white waves.
At the same time, the whole stadium exploded and boiled!
No one expected that the captain of the Red Devils would transform into an England explosive brother and easily blast through Real Madrid's defense with just one long shot, taking the lead in piercing Navas's fingers!
