Barcelona and Hoffenheim fans have already arrived at the stadium, flags fluttering in the stands, scarves flying, banners are torn to cover the sky, the sound of the team song is high-pitched, there is still half an hour before the start of the game, the Olympic Stadium has been decorated very warmly, like a festival, just a little more solemn.

The Spanish fans are more passionate than the German fans, not only because of the natural enthusiasm of the Spaniards, but also because the Spanish King Carlos, Prime Minister Zapatero, and the Prime Minister of Catalonia in Barcelona, Mondia, are also on the scene, which is a huge encouragement to the Spanish fans. They chant 'Long live Barça' and 'Long live the King' because Catalonia has always wanted to be divided, and some Catalan fans still chant 'Long live Catalonia' from time to time.

Hoffenheim still lacks heritage in Germany, and there are no dignitaries to help the game, but their fans are also star-studded, in addition to Hope, the founder of Europe's largest software company, German football Kaiser Beckenbauer came to the stadium, the French diva Ellie, and the popular Hollywood star Stuart also came to the scene.

Although the fans are not necessarily movie fans and fans, Stewart and Elliejie are so famous that even if you don't watch movies or listen to songs, you must have heard the names of both of them, and the cheers caused by their arrival even exceeded the arrival of the King and Prime Minister of Spain at one point.

With 15 minutes left before the start of the game, the commentators of the Imperial Court Station got the names of both sides.

He Wei glanced at the list and said: "Sure enough, we didn't guess wrong, Guardiola played a trick gun, he deceived a lot of people, Alves played, it seems that the Brazilian is not injured." Now let's take a look at the rest of the starters:

The goalkeepers are still Valdés, right-back Alves, central defenders Puyol and Pique, left-back veteran Silvinho, midfielders Iniesta, Xavi, and Buscos, and forwards Messi, Eto'o, and Henry.

The seven substitutes are substitute goalkeeper Pinto, defender Cáceres, midfielders Toure and Keita, and forwards Pedro, Boyang and Muniesa.

It is still Barcelona's traditional 433 formation, and when right-back Alves can start, Barcelona's backline has not lost much than usual, and only Silvinho is a weakness. Another surprising thing is that Busquez's starter, it is generally believed that the back should be Toure, Busquez is much less experienced than Toure, but after Guardiola became the head coach, he vigorously promoted newcomers, and Busquez's start was not completely unexpected. ”

Tao Wei said: "Hoffenheim's starting lineup has also changed, Rangnick took no less risk in this game than Guardiola, the young Baker appeared in the starting lineup, Li Huan became a left-back, this time Rangnick accurately guessed Barcelona's start, it seems that although Rangnick is not as good as Ferguson, but compared to Guardiola, he is still experienced."

Goalkeeper Hildbrand, right-back Baker, central defenders Simunic and Compaq, left-back Li Huan. There are only three players in midfield, but all three are defenders, Gustavo, Tymoszchuk, Weiss, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, Arshavin and Obasi up front.

The seven substitutes are: substitute goalkeeper Haas, defenders Ibertsberg and Jaisler, midfielders Eduardo and Strel, and forwards Demba Ba and Saviola. Zhang Lu said: "Arshavin should be a change of formation when he goes to the front, but Arshavin has played such a position in the Russian national team. Baker's replacement of the usual main left-back Ibezberg is indeed a bold move, but with such a lineup, Hoffenheim's chances of winning the championship are one point smaller, if Alves does not play, Barcelona's two wings are weak, even if Barcelona's attack is very strong, Hoffenheim is also very likely to score, and the victory or defeat is still a matter between the two. But after Alves came on the field, Barcelona has improved both in attack and defense, although Silvinho may not be able to block Beck's attack, but Guardiola will definitely have arrangements for the veteran's side, the key is the duel between Li Huan and Alves, and whether Hoffenheim's back line can block the attack of Barcelona's three striker superstars. ”

Tao Wei said: "Now it looks like Barcelona's midfield is a little thinner, the strength of the defense is a little poor, Xavi and Iniesta are basically defending by consciousness, only one Busquez does not dare to say that he can block Arshavin's inward cut to the middle." He Wei said: "Busquez is not as weak as the outside world thinks, this kid is very cunning, his ability to shoot the ball is very good, and he can occasionally go up to grab a header, enriching Barcelona's attack, but he lacks Toure's long-range shot." The three of them were talking about their views on the starting line-ups of both sides, when there was a deafening applause in the stands of the stadium, and it turned out that the players of both sides had already played.

Leading the way out of the tunnel were Swiss referee Bussaka and his two assistants, followed by players from both sides who led the team out of the tunnel.

At this time, the on-site commentator is also passionately introducing the line-ups of both sides, and the on-site commentator is very experienced, pausing every time the name of a player is pronounced, leaving time for the fans to cheer and applaud, so that it is clear which star is more popular.

The biggest names are naturally Li Huan, Messi, Henry and Eto'o, followed by Xavi, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Arshavin and Iniesta. In particular, the appearance of Li Huan and Messi caused almost two-thirds of the fans to applaud, and even hostile fans liked them.

This was followed by a routine group photo with players and referees from both sides, followed by the exchange of flags and emblems, and the guessing of the sides of the coin and the right to serve.

The long-awaited final is just around the corner, and the fans in the stands are as nervous as the players on the pitch, all nervously awaiting the whistle from referee Swiss Bussaka.

Busaka had been looking at his watch, and when the hand pointed to 7:45, Busaka finally blew the whistle for the start of the race.

Hoffenheim, who kicked off first, did not rush to attack, Arshavin and Ruud van Nistelrooy passed the ball back and cut forward to the edge of the Barcelona penalty area, while the other midfielders did not advance into the Barcelona half, which was obviously explained by Rangnick before the game.

But Barcelona's pressing was very tight, from Ruud van Nistelrooy and Arshavin passed the ball back, Messi, Eto'o and Henry rushed through the half like a tiger descending a mountain, and the three midfielders were all premised, except for Busquez who did not rush through the half, Xavi and Iniesta both forced the Hoffenheim half.

Arshavin and Ruud van Nistelrooy pressed forward because Rangnick hoped to be able to press Barcelona's back line a little further back to prevent their back line from being integrated with the midfield, but Barcelona's players were bold, and the four defenders pressed forward collectively in unison, throwing Arshavin and Ruud van Nistelrooy directly in the offside position.

As soon as Hoffenheim's return pass reached the midfield, Cheetah Eto'o rushed to Gustavo who received the ball like a sword, Gustavo didn't expect Eto'o to come so quickly, and in a panic, he directly wanted to pass the ball back to Li Huan. However, Gustavo's pass was a little small, and Barcelona's forward pressure was very resolute, and in a blink of an eye, Messi quickly rushed to the front of the ball and formed a one-half chance with Li Huan.

Li Huan's reaction was also very fast, and when he saw that Gustavo's pass was too light, he immediately stepped forward to grab the ball, which happened to be a confrontation with Messi.

This is Li Huan, if other players are replaced, they don't dare to rob at this time, everyone knows that Messi's passing skills are unparalleled in the world now, and the surname of the robbery may be very big, but Li Huanyi is bold and not afraid of Messi, and even Li Huan wants to try Messi's strength.

Messi is fast, Li Huan is fast, in an instant, the two people's feet touched the ball at the same time, Li Huan is very jealous of Messi, knowing that this Argentine has unpredictable ability, and the small technology is not comparable to ordinary stars.

Messi's action frequency is really fast enough, when both of them touched the ball, Messi actually made the action of pulling the ball back first, pulling the ball out of the control of Li Huan's feet, and then dialed it again, and wanted to shake Li Huan, these two actions were so fast that fans didn't see it clearly at all.

Although Li Huan was a beat slower, but he used his body to lean too timely, when Messi dialed the ball, Li Huan just leaned over, the height gap between Messi who is 1.69 meters and Li Huan who is 1.83 meters is very large, but the gap between the physical confrontation surname is even greater, even players like Ronaldo can't compete against Li Huan, let alone Messi.

Messi was leaned on by Li Huan, and he suddenly staggered more than a meter away, but the Argentine genius really deserves to be the fastest player in the world.

However, Li Huan's first action was successful, and the second defensive action immediately followed, a big fork-like herringbone tackle, directly shoveled the ball out of the sideline, and resolved Gustavo's passing error, of course, in the face of Messi, changing players, Li Huan directly grabbed the ball instead of shoveling out the sideline.

The contest between Li Huan and Messi began in less than a minute after the opening, which made the fans at the scene feel high, although the result was a tie between the two sides, but the warm applause still sounded like thunder, Barcelona fans chanted Messi's name, and Hoffenheim supporters chanted that Li Huan must win.

The two commentators and a guest of the imperial court station all shouted in unison, "What a chess opponent." ”
