Tired, so fucking tired!

This is Ibrahimovic's biggest feeling at this moment.

His physical strength was almost exhausted, and even though it was only seventy minutes now, he was really running out.

But he still kept walking back and forth on the court, sometimes even running.

Not because he was diligent, but because he was afraid that as soon as he stopped, he would never be able to run again.

Those damn legs trembled as soon as he exerted the force, and he wondered how long he would be able to hold out.

It was his first Champions League final and the best Champions League season of his career.

Debuted in Malmo, Sweden, became famous in Ajax in the Netherlands, and rose in Juventus, Italy, established himself as the world's number one center forward at Inter Milan, and then switched to Barcelona for an astonishing price, but was expelled from the Camp Nou after one season.

Ibrahimovic has won countless honors in his life, league titles, cup titles, he almost got it.

But the only thing is the Champions League, he has passed by again and again.

As a Swedish international, limited by the national team, he is destined to miss out on international competitions in his life.

What World Cup, what European Cup, what Confederations Cup, it has nothing to do with him at all.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to the Champions League.

Ironically, everyone has always said that he is the soft-footed shrimp of the Champions League!

The move from Ajax to Juventus coincided with the final glory of Serie A, the Old Lady was one of the strongest teams in Europe at the time, and Ibrahimovic was eager to reach the top of Europe at Turin.

Who would have thought that two years later, the phonegate broke out, Juventus was penalized, and they were relegated.

Ibrahimovic was unwilling to follow Juventus into Serie B, so he switched to Inter Milan.

The Nerazzurri were Italy's favourites to make a big splash on the European stage at the time, and Moratti has promised Inter Milan a run for the European title.

In fact, in those years, Inter Milan's investment was also quite large, and the overall strength was also very strong.

But it's still a little worse than the Champions League.

In Mourinho's first year, the team continued to be invincible in Serie A, but in the Champions League, it still failed to make a breakthrough, stopping in the round of 16 and losing to Manchester United.

This disappointed Ibrahimovic!

Because as he gets older every year, he is getting farther and farther away from his Champions League goal, and he is scared!

He has always been proud and confident, but he is afraid that he will end his career with a lifelong regret!

It just so happened that at this time, Barcelona, who had just swept the entire Europa with an unprecedented huge advantage in the European arena and won the treble, extended an olive branch to him, hoping to bring him to Camp Nou at an astonishing price.

Pep Guardiola promises to make Ibrahimovic a success at Camp Nou!

It should be much easier to win the Champions League in Barcelona than at Inter Milan, right?

Therefore, Ibrahimovic resolutely chose Spain!

Ironically, in his first season after leaving Inter Milan, Jose Mourinho's side won the treble, including the European title that Ibrahimovic dreamed of!

Ibrahimovic, on the other hand, has encountered an unprecedented career crisis in Barcelona.

That was the lowest point of his career!

He really regretted that his intestines were blue, and he even longed to slap himself a few ear scrapers countless times.

But in the world, where does the regret medicine come from?

If it's just regret, that's it, it's more important to question.

As soon as Ibrahimovic left Inter Milan, Inter Milan won the Champions League, and as soon as he joined Barcelona, Barcelona immediately had a tactical crisis, what does this mean?

It couldn't be easier!

This Swedish center forward is a tactical cancer!

This statement has appeared more than once in the newspapers, in the mouths of fans, and in the ears of Ibrahimovic.

He needed help, but at this time, Barcelona wanted him to transfer, and Guardiola told him, how can we continue?

I'll fuck you on!

I'm not playing!

AC Milan's Galliani wants to get Ibrahimovic, but his condition is that the transfer fee will be pressed and the salary cut will be drastically reduced!

But this obviously hurts Ibrahimovic's self-esteem too much!

It was at this time that Southampton, which had just been acquired, came to the door, and Young Master Huan went to Barcelona to talk in person, and was humiliated by the Barcelona management.

This made Ibrahimovic feel a strong sincerity!

What's more, Master Huan promised to build a competitive team around Ibrahimovic and rise strongly in the coming years!

Ibrahimovic made a crazy decision, he chose Southampton!

This was simply crazy in the eyes of everyone at the time!

The world's top three superstars, the number one centre-forward, joined a team in the third tier of England?

Isn't that crazy or what?

But four years later, who would still question Ibrahimovic's decision?

As the team's number one star, he led Southampton from League One to promotion to the Premier League, and in his first season, he won the Premier League title as a promoted horse and successfully defended the title again in the second season.

With this report card, who dares to say that Ibrahimovic was wrong to join the Saints?

What's more, Southampton miraculously reached the final of the Champions League when they participated in the Champions League for the first time!

This surprised Ibrahimovic like never before!

He's hungry for the Champions League, he's going crazy!

Therefore, in this game, he tried his best, he ran at any cost, and even let him retire on the spot after the game, he didn't care.

Because he knows this is his last chance!

He was tired, so tired that he seemed to fall down at any moment, but every time he turned his head to look at the St. Paulette Cup that was sitting on the sidelines, at the exit of the players' tunnel, his heart swelled up again.

This is the last regret left in his career, and he is eager to make up for it with his own hands!

But Atletico Madrid, the team that can reach the Champions League final, is it a fuel-efficient lamp?

After playing as a Swedish centre-forward for so many years, Atletico Madrid's defensive tactics in this game were perfect.

Although there were few counter-attacking opportunities and few dangerous attacks, they were quite unique in defending Southampton's attack, and they hardly gave the Saints too many chances.

Even if the two sides have made some adjustments to their playing styles after changing two players each, they still haven't been able to break the deadlock.

At the end of the day, it's the Champions League final!

Ibrahimovic felt like he was dying!

But the Argentine shorty, oh yes, the guy named Otamendi, was still scrappy.

That guy is really a fighter, and his grappling ability is quite amazing!

Even as an opponent, even if he is more than ten centimeters taller than him, Ibrahimovic is still not much to defend himself.

What's more, there's an experienced Godin behind him.

The two of them must have focused on Ibrahimovic, so the defense was very targeted.

This made the Swedish center forward admire and annoy.

Niang Xipi's finally came to a Champions League final, how could it be ruined by them?

Find a way, you have to find a way to break their defenses!

How to break it?

After adjusting the team's tactics, Atletico Madrid's tactics look more like four-one-four-one.

Not much has changed at the back, with Krijoviak in midfield and Isco and Koke in front.

The fact that these two players are still there proves that Atletico Madrid's determination to counterattack and attack is still there!

The two flanks are Antoine Griezmann and Carlos Tevez, with Antoine Griezmann playing more forward and skewing to the right, while Tevez cuts more inward between Southampton's midfield and defence.

Diego Costa plays as a lone striker, but his position is also a bit to the right.

This is probably related to the fact that Atletico Madrid's counterattacks often launch diagonal long passes to find the right side.

David Alaba was under a lot of defensive pressure on his side and it was impossible to provide attacking support to Eden Hazard up front.

Southampton, on the other hand, is more like a 442 tactic.

The backline is also the same, with two players in midfield, Toni Kroos slightly back and James Rodriguez up front and more free.

Eden Hazard on the left and Alexis Sanchez on the right, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic in central striker and Suarez roaming in front and back of him.

Although Southampton's midfield was much thinner, the ball was still at Southampton's feet.

So, the key question now is not how to get the ball back, but how to break down the opponent's defense!

With Atletico Madrid's tactics, there are often nine players at the back, leaving a Diego Costa in front, which is very layered and impregnable.

If you want to break it, you must disrupt their defenses!

Chaos, there is a chance!

Thinking of this, Ibrahimovic immediately made a decision.

"Louis!" The Swedish center shouted at Suarez.

When the Uruguayan looked over, he made a gesture.

The latter immediately understood, nodded and said, "Understood!" Then he ran away.

The Swedish centre-forward also glanced at Toni Kroos in the distance, signaling for him to retreat.

The German midfielder also immediately understood, informing James Rodriguez and his team-mates at the back.

Soon, it was clear to everyone at Southampton that Ibrahimovic decided to expand his range of action and dropped back to catch the ball.

Now it looks like both teams are playing as a single midfielder, one is Krry Chorwiak and the other is Toni Kroos.

But the tactics of the two teams are completely different.

It will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to take the route of the striker's drop-back, because once Diego Costa drops back, Southampton's two centre-backs can follow one.

In fact, Raphael Varane has often followed Diego Costa's pullbacks and pressed forward.

This makes it difficult for Diego Costa to make a difference.

But Southampton is different.

Ibrahimovic retreated, and Suarez immediately headed to the front.

And the two have a very tacit understanding.

As if this time, Ibrahimovic saw that the backfield found an opportunity to advance effectively, and immediately retreated and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

His route was biased to the left, trying to avoid Krijowiak's defensive zone.

Therefore, Suarez was smart enough to immediately go up to the centre, and the position was exactly in the defensive zone of the opponent's two central defenders and the intersection of the midfield.

This time, the players of Atletico Madrid have a headache, how to fix it?

With Suarez's personal ability, one-on-one, plus a Sanchez who comes from the right side at any time, two-on-two, Atletico Madrid is definitely at a disadvantage, not to say!

So, in the end, Atletico Madrid made a quick decision, Krigiowiak went to watch Ibrahimovic, the two central defenders did not dare to move, and kept a compact formation with Felipe, always keeping an eye on the Saints' attacking direction.

After the ball was passed back and forth at the back, it was not possible to see that it was not available, and passed it back to goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Neuer looked up just in time to see Ibrahimovic retreat and raise his hand for the ball.

So, the German goalkeeper did not hesitate at all, and directly passed the ball to the front with a big kick.

This seems more like a no-brainer.

But the problem is that when the ball reaches the front, the situation is different!
