Chapter 247 Playing the Champions League Final at the Bernabeu (25/134)

After Lazio accelerated the tempo and speed, Chang Sheng was looking forward to his team completely crushing Bayern Munich. M

But sometimes things don't go the way he thought they would.

Football games are always full of accidents of one kind or another.

It’s not that Bayern Munich is completely incapable of counterattacking. No matter how fast Lazio is, it’s impossible for them to attack for 90 minutes. They also need to rest and defend.

Bayern Munich also have the opportunity to attack.

With Ribery suspended due to a red card, Robben took over the heavy responsibility of attacking.

However, his offensive mode is different from that of Ribery. He is covered by the whole team alone. He dribbles the ball from the right and directly kills Lazio's penalty area.

Then suddenly cut inward at the front of the penalty area and began to dribble horizontally.

After opening the angle, he used his golden left foot to shoot directly!

This is how Bayern Munich attack most of the time.

Although everyone knew that Robben would make such a move, it was difficult to guard against.

That's actually what Robben did at the end of his time at Real Madrid.

That's how Juande Ramos and Schuster used him, moving him to the right and letting him cut inside.

A healthy Robben is almost unsolvable. As long as he raises his speed, no one can catch up to him, and then he cuts in and shoots, and the scoring rate is very high.

It's a pity that Robben in Real Madrid is too easy to get injured, and he sits in the stands most of the time.

Arjen Robben, who came to Bayern Munich, finally bid farewell to his injuries for the time being. He has performed very well this season. Bayern Munich can enter the Champions League final.

Bayern Munich's offense is very simple, but the effect is very good. They often score goals in this way in the game.

Six minutes into the game. Bayern Munich began their attack after overcoming a wave of Lazio's offensive.

Still Robben's dragon.

Changsheng also made targeted arrangements before the game.

Franck Ribery's absence allows him to focus his defense here against Robben. He doesn't have to worry about Robben's sudden long pass. Because Robben can't do it at all. He is either dribbling and shooting. Or the guy who takes the football all the way to the bottom line.

The so-called taking to the end of time means not passing the ball.

It was Robben.

Robben cut inside after an unreasonable breakthrough by relying on speed. Then on Chiellini.

In the face of Chiellini's defense, Robben's solution is also very simple.

Made a feint to shoot, and then dialed the football to the middle.

In order to block Robben's shot, Chiellini could only stretch his legs as far as possible.

But Robben started too fast. Even though he threw his whole body out, he still couldn't stop Robben's shot.

Although in order to avoid him, Robben deliberately swung the ball a little wider, causing the football to fly directly off the crossbar.

But Chiellini was also injured in this defense.

He pulled a thigh muscle.

Watching the football fly off the crossbar, Robben hugged his fifty-year-old head with regret.

Then he turned and ran away.

Chiellini lay on the ground and did not get up.

※ ※ ※

When the team medical team leader Fontana Domingo Chiellini thigh muscle strain. When Chang Sheng was told about the inability to continue the game, Chang Sheng couldn't help cursing.

Just five minutes into the game, his main central defender was injured. What is this?

five minutes. I will be forced to use up a replacement quota, which will make me hesitate when it is time to adjust later, worrying that the replacement quota will be used up and I will not be able to cope with some unexpected situations.

But he still has to make substitutions.

Chiellini couldn't hold on anymore.

The central defender position is very important.

Chang Sheng looked back at the bench.

Then his eyes fell on Francisco Pavon.

Thirty-year-old Pavon is considered a veteran of his team with rich experience.

He is the best candidate to replace Chiellini.

Moreover, Jose Passarella also partnered with Pavon for a long time before, and it was not until this season that he gradually became a partner with Chiellini.

If Pavon goes up, there will be no running-in problem.

Because I just warmed up before the start of the game, and now I only played five minutes of the game, so there is no need to run to warm up now.

Chang Sheng walked directly in front of Pavin.

"Francisco, did you ever imagine that you would have the chance to play a Champions League final at the Bernabéu?" he asked.

Pavon knew that Chiellini was injured, but he never thought it would be so serious that he would make a substitution in the opening five minutes... Generally speaking, as long as the injury is not too serious, the head coach will not play in the opening five minutes. Just replace it. Injured players do not want to end so early.

You know this is the Champions League final!

For Chiellini, this is his first Champions League final, and he naturally doesn't want to be replaced in five minutes. In the last Champions League final between Lazio and Manchester United, although Chiellini participated, he spent 90 minutes on the sidelines and did not get even a minute of chance to play.

So in fact, today is Chiellini's first Champions League final.

So he froze for a moment.

But he quickly realized - this is to let himself appear on the stage!

The boss's question reverberated in his mind, and the agitated voice became louder and louder, like thunder, rolling in, the lingering sound lingered, and could not disappear for a long time.

Playing the Champions League final at the Bernabeu?

He thought of the story before the game.

※ ※ ※

Lazio reached the Champions League final, and Pavon received a call from his former teammates.

Everyone congratulated him, but also envied him.

"You boy can play in the Champions League final at the Bernabeu! Do you know that this is the dream of all of us? It turns out that you alone realized it!"

Pavon just laughed: "I'm just a substitute. I don't know if I can be good at it. If I sit on the bench for 90 minutes, what's the point?"

This was a joke among friends, and Pavon didn't take it very seriously.

But when he received a call from Raul Gonzalez, he was surprised.

Although he played with Raul at Real Madrid, he doesn't think his relationship with Raul is good enough to talk freely with him.

His friends called immediately. It's because the relationship between them is very good.

What was Raul calling for?

As a result, Raul also called to congratulate him, but his tone and attitude seemed much more serious.

Congratulations to him for reaching the Champions League final at the Bernabeu with the team, and Raul also said that he will be there to cheer for him.

Pavin was a little flattered by the old captain's call.

Only after he put down the phone did he have a chance to think about why even Raul called himself.

Is this really an expression of congratulations?

After much deliberation, he felt that it might be because of the Champions League final held here. For every Real Madrid player. All meanings are extraordinary.

How eager his former teammates are to reach the final.

But they were eliminated at the time of sixteen and eight.

They became a joke throughout Europe, and everyone jokingly called them the "Dream Eight".

Although Pavon is no longer a member of Real Madrid. But he has feelings for Real Madrid, and he would feel dissatisfied when the team he had been playing for since he was a child left and was ridiculed like this.

Although Robben also played in Real Madrid, but in Raul's mind. Maybe I am a real Real Madrid man.

He is pinning the hopes of all real Real Madrid people on himself.

Watching him play here, maybe it's like they play here.

But... doesn't the old captain know? I am now a substitute player in Lazio.

It is impossible for him to start in the final.

The position of central defender is very special, second only to the goalkeeper.

Generally there is no problem, the central defender is not changed.

So as long as Jose Passarella and Chiellini do not have any problems, he should not have a chance to play.

As a result, who would have thought that the game had only started five or six minutes ago, and the boss stood in front of him and asked him to play...

it turns out. Friends, the blessings of the old captain have become a reality!

He will be one of those old Real Madrid players. The only player who can play in the Champions League final at the Bernabéu!

Pavin came back from the memories, he looked at the boss, then nodded and said: "I'm ready, boss!"

Chang Sheng shook his head: "Come on, let's talk on the sidelines."

Pavin got up and followed Chang Sheng to the sidelines.

Chang Sheng said to him: "After you go up, change positions with Jose Passarella. You play right center back and Jose plays left center back."

The boss asked Jose Passarella to defend Robben, but Pavon did not raise any objections.

He is aware of his situation, and if he is allowed to defend Pavon, he feels that the end result will not be any better than that of Chiellini.

Everything is aimed at victory, and for victory, he is willing to do whatever he is asked to do.

Chang Sheng's arrangement is as simple as that.

Chang Sheng didn't say what to do at the right center back position, but Pavon knew.

He is very skilled in defending this set of things.

In the end, Chang Sheng saw that the fourth official had gone to the sidelines holding a sign.

So he patted Pavin on the shoulder.

"Playing the Champions League final at the Bernabéu is a special experience for you. Enjoy it, Francisco."

Pavin nodded, and followed to the fourth official, ready to appear.

"Ah, Lazio is so unlucky today! Only five minutes into the game, their main central defender Chiellini had to be replaced due to injury, look at the Italian central defender who was lifted off, his face is full of frustration... I fully understand Understand his mood, you must know that this is the first Champions League final in his career! The last time Lazio and Manchester United played, he was a substitute and did not get a chance to play..."

"As Lazio's central defender this season, Chiellini has been very stable and played very well. Who would have thought that he was a left back before? Juventus must regret it... Now he is in the Champions League final It must be a heavy blow to Lazio's defense to leave the game early due to injury!"

"It seems that Bayern Munich is really Lazio's nemesis. Although Bayern Munich's strength is damaged in this game, God does not want Lazio to win, so only five minutes into the game, Lazio's neutral central defender Chiellini was injured. ... Now Lazio is also weakened. Such things can happen, I have to say that there are indeed many phenomena in football that we cannot explain..."

Listening to what the commentators said, the fans who could not go to the scene to support Lazio couldn't help frowning, worrying about the future fate of the team.

It's only been five minutes since the start, and such an unlucky thing happened.

What will happen after that?
