Chapter 821: Let Me Hot My Feet
There are a lot of people who have been waiting for this game for a whole season.
For example, Ramos, the former Real Madrid captain is still haunted by the humiliation of Real Madrid fans at the beginning of the season, in order to prove himself again, his performance throughout the season can be described as perfect, and he didn't even get a red card, which is a world of difference compared to him before, you know, in the past, he was embarrassed to call Ramos if he didn't get two or three red cards, and this season, in addition to being suspended for accumulating yellow cards, he was insulated from red cards.
Shameful and courageous, it was he who led the Manchester City backline and ensured that the team successfully came to this game. At the beginning of the season, Manchester City's defense still had a lot of holes, but after continuous run-ins in the season, Manchester City's defense is also close to perfect, which can be seen from the 38 rounds of league games, because they set a record, 32 wins and 6 draws, they won the title with an unbeaten record, and they conceded only 15 goals!
With an average of just 0.35 goals conceded in a league game, what else can be found fault with such a defense? There has never been such a result in the entire English league history, partly because their defense is strong enough, and on the other hand, it also shows that Messi's terrible deterrent power up front is that the opposition is tired of defending and has no chance to attack.
In short, Manchester City's current level is not the same as it was in the Bernabeu Cup before the season.
"It's like a fake ......" In the tactical meeting, Zidane himself thought it was incredible, you know, Real Madrid's defense is already invincible, but the league has conceded 17 goals.
"It's a lot tougher than it was at the beginning of the season."
Zidane's coaching style is a bit different from other coaches, he likes to sit in the conference room with his players and discuss tactics together, a bit like the knights of the round table in the Middle Ages.
He is no longer a rookie after three years of coaching experience, but he has not changed his style.
"Those three BTs scored 111 goals in a season, is this still human?" Zinedine Zidane calmly analysed Manchester City's stats. Not surprisingly, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Suarez have scored 111 goals in the Premier League, and that's just the data of the three of them, not counting the others, in fact, Manchester City have scored a total of 132 goals in the Premier League this season, far more than any team in Europe, and also broke the league goal record set by Barcelona and Real Madrid together.
Of the 111 goals, Ronaldo scored 45 and Messi scored 32. Suarez scored 34, which shows how much firepower their attacking firepower is.
On Real Madrid's side, Benzema scored 34, Aguero 39, Morata 15, Liu Hao 16, adding up to 104, and the four people combined with the data are also less than them.
Defensively and offensively, Manchester City are statistically superior.
If you have to find out a statistic that is scarier than theirs. That's Liu Hao's assists, it's simply at the level of an ancient demon beast!
50 assists in the league, it's simply a cosmic statistic!
Liu Hao has played more than 50 games this season, almost an average of one assist per game!
So Zidane then humored.
"It looks like they're even better than we are. But we also have a statistic that is better than them, Liu's average performance of one assist per game tells us that as long as Liu is on the court, then we are actually 1:0 ahead. They can be bullforked in other teams. But when faced with us, they are absolutely afraid! Let's not be fooled by their flashy data. ”
"They're definitely struggling with what to do with us right now."
"In fact against a team that has few weaknesses, we have to be ourselves. Whoever doesn't take the initiative to make mistakes is likely to have the last laugh, and the comparison is who makes fewer mistakes. They will no longer dare to attack wildly, they will kick carefully. We need to run more, we need to be more aggressive, and our goal is to run one kilometre more than each of them, and as long as everybody can do it, then we have more chances than them! ”
"Be careful, their hunger is definitely not less than ours, a Premier League title can't satisfy their appetite, their goal for the season is actually the Champions League! And we, too! Whether to give them their first Champions League, or to get our twelfth Champions League! ”
In fact, Pep Guardiola's team does have a shadow on Real Madrid, and a season of invincibility does not mean that they can be invincible against Real Madrid.
They can be confident that they can take down any opponent, but against Real Madrid, they don't know what to expect.
If it hadn't been for the Bernabeu Cup game before the season, maybe they wouldn't have that idea now, and they would have been able to play without any pressure.
Of course, as Zidane said, two teams with no weaknesses play against each other, as long as they are more patient and who does not make mistakes. You can't control anything else, or suddenly a genius jumps out and does something crazy.
There is no shortage of talent in both teams, it can be said that there are geniuses in every position, and the next second of talent, you never know what they are going to do.
So, it's a battle of geniuses!
The city of London is bustling with fans from all over the world flocking here to watch the fight of the century, perhaps the rarest game in football history.
More than 1,000 journalists gathered at the Emirates Stadium to occupy the best positions on the pitch early. Fans also entered the stadium several hours early for fear of missing the game.
The British police did not dare to slack off, and dispatched 2,000 police officers to maintain order.
※※※※
Liu Hao can clearly feel that Ramos, who is standing with him, is completely different from before.
On his body, there was not a single ripple, no anxiety or restlessness, and his whole body was very calm and resolute.
A growing Ramos is terrible! Now even if Liu Hao uses words to stimulate him, it is estimated that he will not have any reaction and be indifferent.
Of course, it's not just Ramos, it looks like the whole Manchester City team, and Pep Guardiola has built them into a team of kings, not just the star-studded team they were at the start of the season.
Confidence was written all over everyone's face.
Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Suarez are closely linked. Full of clouds and light winds, the three top killers, but they couldn't see any murderous aura on their bodies......
"You'll regret it too."
Liu Hao still spoke, he still tried to challenge Ramos's nerves, but Ramos still didn't have any expression, he was really ready.
The UEFA Champions League theme song is still playing at the Emirates, and all the passion has not changed, but it is really different from previous years.
The game was about to start, and everyone seemed excited. Only the players feel different, including Liu Hao.
It's his fourth Champions League final, the first time for Arsenal, the second for Real Madrid, the third time for Juventus, and he won the first three times, and this fourth time for him, it's no different from the first three, but after you get used to being a big winner. I didn't think about failure.
But this time he felt a little pressure.
To say that there is no pressure in front of Messi, Ronaldo and Suarez must be false, facing the strongest trio on the planet, people will have some ideas.
Previously on the field. Even if you meet Messi or Ronaldo, it's just one of them, and now facing three BTs at once, this feeling is really different. There's even a sense of excitement.
As the so-called master is lonely, only when you meet a real master, will you get excited. Apparently this is the case now.
Before heading to the World Cup, the Champions League final in front of us is the most important thing.
If you can win this Champions League and then play the World Cup with the Chinese team, there is nothing more perfect than this.
He thinks so, and other people will actually think the same way, why don't opponents also want to chase the World Cup glory after winning the Champions League?
After the Champions League theme song was played, when Ramos and Liu Hao shook hands, the former even laughed softly. Ramos's calmness is far beyond Liu Hao.
It's terrible to play against an opponent like that.
The game just started in an incredible way.
Zidane and Pep Guardiola both had the same mind, and after the game began, neither team rushed to attack, and the tactical thinking of both sides was the same.
In such a top-level contest, both managers chose to be conservative. The more important the game, the more it will not be open, Manchester City need the title, Real Madrid also need the title, so they can't attack aggressively, both sides are quite conservative, although the midfield is fiercely contested, but when it comes to the opponent's penalty area, everything is inconclusive......
Be careful, take it one step at a time, and then the first half was over. Even if there is a genius like a forest, no one dares to really stand up and change all this.
A lot of people thought it was going to be a thrilling game, but it was actually quite dull. When everyone thought that the tridents of the two teams would stage a goal battle, it turned out that they were more defensive-oriented.
If it was usual, maybe they would have killed all sides, but now their duty is to work hard to defend, and Liu Hao doesn't even have a chance to touch the ball......
In the second half, the two sides tacitly did not make substitutions, and continued to play in the starting lineup, with both sides holding a mentality of adapting to changes with the same.
The best 11 are already on the pitch, what changes need to be made?
Especially Zidane, although Liu Hao did not touch a ball, he will definitely not have the idea of replacing Liu Hao.
Guardiola is also on the other hand, Yaya Toure and Ramos's defense in the middle is quite successful, especially Ramos's ability to let Liu Hao not touch the ball once, and he is so calm and calm, which has exceeded Guardiola's expectations.
Both managers stood on the sidelines at the beginning of the second half, and even their movements were exactly the same, both of them holding their cheeks and seemed to be thinking, but in fact, both of them were looking at each other from time to time, and they both wanted each other to change first......
However, neither of them chose to change.
"Did Zidane and Pep Guardiola talk on the phone before the game? If you look at the two of them now, they may be saying in their hearts -- you are changing formations, you are attacking, you are coming to fight me, come and fight me...... If one of them moves first, it means that the other side will also get a chance, and now both of them are waiting for the other to strike first, so that they can fight back. But now there is no action, Messi and Aguero they play the role of midfield defense more often, and do not play their offensive strengths, both sides can't afford to lose, everyone is waiting patiently, looking for opportunities. ”
"Neither team has the certainty of winning, the certainty of eating the opponent, there has never been such a situation in the history of football. Maybe everyone doesn't want to record in the history books that on May 26, 2018, in the UEFA Champions League final at the Emirates Stadium in London, England, so-and-so team lost to so-and-so...... No one can afford to lose and suffer, even if they are already one of the best teams on the planet. ”
"Of course, Liu Hao also set a record, this is also the record of the longest time I have seen Liu Hao not touch the ball, the game has been played so far, he has not touched a ball, but this does not prevent him from continuing to stay on the court, but I think Liu Hao must be thinking at this time, how to help the team, how to break the balance on the court, although he seems to be sleeping, but he never forgets to look for opportunities, maybe, in the next minute, maybe in the next second."
Yes, this is a game that no one can afford to lose, so Ramos has been keeping an eye on Liu Hao from beginning to end, and people all over the world can give Liu Hao a chance, but he will definitely not.
It's not that Liu Hao didn't have a chance to touch the ball, but that he didn't have a good chance to touch the ball. For example, those foul set-pieces, Liu Hao can play them, but there is no point, because the fouls of the Manchester City team are far away from the big penalty area, so it doesn't make sense for Liu Hao to play.
But in the 73rd minute, this set-piece opportunity, Liu Hao shouted loudly to his teammates on the field.
Originally, this set-piece in the backfield of this side could be kicked out by any teammate, and it was not his turn to run back at the front.
But he couldn't help it.
I didn't touch a ball for 73 minutes, so what is it......
So it was supposed to be Godin's set-piece, but Liu Hao ran all the way back to play.
It is normal for Liu Hao to run back, but he ran back more than 70 meters at once, what does this mean? Ramos was surprised at the first time! I thought Liu Hao would make some amazing moves!
Pulling the whole body, not only Ramos felt incredible, but even Guardiola on the sidelines suddenly shouted, shouting Ramos to catch up, and the other Manchester City players on the field were also like big enemies, who knows what Liu Hao is going to do!
Even Godin, who was preparing to kick off, felt a little baffled.
Benzema, who has been cooperating with Liu Hao for a long time, can't touch his head.
Liu Hao, what is this for?
Benzema was a little confused and couldn't understand Liu Hao's tactical intentions.
Don't...... Zidane was even a little excited......
"Let me warm my feet......" Liu Hao smiled and gently pushed the ball to Godin......
"This ......"
"Liu Hao came all the way back just to kick off a ball?" Huang Jianxiang was dumbfounded, and he was also surprised, and then he figured out what was going on...... (To be continued.) )
