Chapter 380 Ace vs Ace

The 2017-2018 Champions League final was getting closer as both teams entered the stadium. As the top scorers and top stars of the two teams, Li Qing and C Ronaldo were the focus of the pre-match live broadcast director, and there were 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 opposite the main stand, and swept horizontally to the right, until it ended with C Ronaldo on the far right of Real Madrid.

At the same time, there was a huge circular canvas with the Champions League logo in the center circle of the stadium, which was constantly shaken by dozens of volunteers, creating a very strong sense of déjà vu.

After the Champions League theme song "Champions League" ended, the staff and volunteers in the middle of the stadium quickly evacuated the stadium one after another, leaving the venue for the Real Madrid and Liverpool players who were going to play next.

Since Liverpool drew the visiting team before the game, they took the initiative to walk to the Real Madrid side that drew the home team and shook hands one by one. Li Qing, who was walking at the back of Liverpool, had his first contact with C Ronaldo before the game, which was the handshake.

The 33-year-old Ronaldo was facing a formidable enemy, but he was still very graceful in the handshake before the game. 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.

Then, there was a pre-match photo, and then the captains of both teams, Henderson and Ramos, walked to the referee Ma Riqi to guess the ball before the game.

That is, the referee Ma Riqi would take out a silver coin and tell the captains of both teams which side they belonged to. The side that was thrown on the back of the hand was the winner and had the priority to choose the side.

In fact, most of the side selections before the start of the game were decided based on the positions of the players, so it is better to say that it is the right to kick off rather than the right to choose the side, because the side that wins the right to choose the side means losing the right to kick off.

The coin thrown by the referee Ma Riqi showed that Ramos won the right to choose the side, which means that Liverpool won the right to kick off.

For Li Qing, it is better to have the right to kick off than to have a useless right to choose the side.

Many times, the blitzkrieg is initiated by the kicking side.

Real Madrid has lost many lightning goals in the Champions League. The most famous one is the Dutch striker Makaay. In the knockout round of the 2006-2007 Champions League, Bayern striker Makaay broke through the goal guarded by Casillas less than eleven seconds after the start of the game.

In the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals this season, the victim is still Real Madrid. They were scored a lightning goal by Juventus striker Mandzukic in the 76th second of the home game.

Zidane is a particular coach and is also superstitious. He will not allow the mistakes made by the team in the past to be repeated. The superstition lies in the fact that the starting lineup of this season's Champions League final is exactly the same as that of last season's Champions League final.

Klopp thought Bale would start before the game, so he made targeted deployments. However, it is not difficult for Isco to start. He only needs to find the video tape of Real Madrid's Champions League final last season. Moreover, he has a clear understanding of Zidane's technical and tactical play, so it is not a big problem to deal with it.

He has a hunch that as long as the defenders do not make mistakes actively, there is a 90% chance of defeating Real Madrid at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev.

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

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

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

Just as Klopp's thoughts were wandering, the referee Ma Riqi blew his whistle: "Beep~"

"aoaooaoaooaooooo——"

At the same time, the fans at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev shouted like a tsunami, creating a fanatical atmosphere for the game.

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

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

Although Van Dijk has performed very steadily in the past, the stage of the Champions League final is somewhat tense. He did not handle the ball as steadily as in the past, but kicked the ball directly to his own attacking left side.

Firmino failed to win over Varane, and the ball was headed to Modric by Varane.

Emre Can, Henderson and Wijnaldum cooperated with Mane to suddenly rush up and pressure the Real Madrid players to get the ball in the middle and backcourt.

Even though Modric had extraordinary skills, he didn't dare to show off his footwork too much. He didn't dare to pass the ball to Toni Kroos, but directly gave it to the right back Carvajal who was behind.

Carvajal was very straightforward. With a full beard, he looked strong and simple-minded, but in fact, the court was very high. He swung his right foot and kicked the ball to Liverpool's defensive half.

For defensive players, it is better to avoid mistakes than to make achievements.

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

Therefore, he felt that the team should focus on stability, and as for grabbing the start... it depends on the situation.

However, the following game did not go as Zidane expected. The ball kicked by Carvajal to the front court was controlled by Ronaldo. Real Madrid players quickly supported and Liverpool players retreated to their own half of the field to defend, leaving only Li Qing at the forefront.

Ronaldo used his teammates to cover him. He took the ball and suddenly accelerated from the left to cut in. Then he kicked it about 30 meters away from the goal. The ball was like a cannonball. Goalkeeper Karius chose to block the ball with his fist for safety.

"wowowoowooooooooo——"

The regretful voices of Real Madrid fans rang out at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev.

One minute later, Liverpool got an offensive opportunity. The ball came to Li Qing's feet on the right side of the attack. He used his superb footwork to pass Marcelo, Modric and Casemiro in succession. Without waiting for Ramos to block, he directly shot with great force.

Navas did not dare to neglect and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

"wowoowooooooowo——"

Liverpool fans held their heads with regretful hands and subconsciously shouted with regret.

I don't know if Ronaldo was influenced by Li Qing's revenge, he made a series of high-quality shots in the following time, forcing Karius to make a key save.

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

"Li Qing and Ronaldo are in such good shape, aren't they?"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, couldn't help but say as he watched the two people who could be broadcast.
