Tao Wei explained the Bundesliga, and naturally had a bias towards the Bundesliga, and after admiring it, he immediately said: "In fact, from a defensive point of view, Li Huan should have the upper hand this time, and Messi is a failure." ”

He Wei naturally disagreed, and said: "This is not an opportunity, Messi captured it with his acumen and speed, so it can't be regarded as Messi's failure." ”

Zhang Lu was on the side and said: "Li Huan has a deep defensive foundation, he didn't give Messi a chance to take advantage of, Messi's ability to capture fighters is amazing, he enters the game quickly, and he almost grabbed the mistake of Hoffenheim's back at the beginning, it can only be said that he is equal, who is the final winner, it depends on the next game." ”

Today's Barcelona is more aggressive, Alves after the ball went out of bounds, quickly ran to the front to send a throw-in, Xavi also quickly moved closer to Messi, and the three formed a small tactical assault group.

Hoffenheim's defense also put a lot of effort into it, Li Huan followed Messi closely, Weiss followed Xavi closely, and even Alves, who took the throw-in on the sidelines, was harassed by Arshavin and did not let him serve easily.

Alves was angry because in the case of two teammates being marked, he was the only point of contact, and only when the ball could form a first pass, they were able to use their flexible movement to operate, so that the opponent could not keep up with the rhythm and could not touch the ball, and like this, without even the first pass, there was no talk of passing coordination.

Alves lifted the ball up and down, signaling to the linesman that Arshavin had no way of serving in front of him. The linesman ran over and motioned for Arshavin to give way and not block Alves' serve.

Arshavin is not a defensive player after all, and when he saw the linesman speak, he gave way to the side, Alves looks very rude, but he is actually quite a cunning guy, and he likes to use complaints to win the sympathy of the referee, take advantage of fake throws, and provoke opponents with small actions. As soon as Arshavin conceded, he threw the ball to Xavi.

Xavi didn't stop the ball, just like a wall, it bounced directly to Alves, and then ran away, Alves also received the ball and passed, as if he knew where Xavi was going to run, and passed it right in front of Xavi.

Messi also moved at the moment of Alves' pass, and Xavi seemed to know where Messi was going to run, and the ball passed directly in front of Messi.

Of course, they don't have the ability to predict, but they all pass the ball to the empty space, and the players who run are also running to the empty block, and they are used to playing tacitly, basically the ball arrives at the person, so it looks like they know where their companions are going to run.

Messi, Xavi and Alves formed a triangular passing space on the left side of Hoffenheim, all of which were one-kick passes, so that Hoffenheim's three marking players could not make a tackle with their feet, and could only run passively behind their butts.

At first, Hoffenheim also hoped to wait for Messi, Xavi, and Alves to make mistakes, and they couldn't believe that any team could maintain such a continuous pass without making mistakes. But soon the Hoffenheim players despaired, even if they left a small space for the Barcelona players, the Barcelona players were still able to accurately pass the ball to their teammates' feet, and they did not miss a dozen kicks in a row.

This feeling is worse than when playing against Arsenal, when they play against Arsenal, they still have a chance to touch the ball, and the ball is under the feet of Barcelona, they only have the opportunity to kick people, this feeling is not helpless, it is despair, it is frustration, it is inferiority.

Just when the Hoffenheim players were dazed, the ball had already passed to Iniesta's feet, Iniesta took a step forward to receive the ball, saw that Henry had started, and immediately passed straight behind Baker.

After all, Beck is still young and inexperienced, he feels that the distance behind him from the bottom line is already very close, he didn't expect Iniesta to dare to pass the ball behind him, Iniesta passed the ball very tricky, Baker wanted to break the ball just out of reach, and when he turned around to chase back, Henry the Great had no chance to give him, the speed of the Great was a little worse than the peak, but it was not worse than Baker, the young man, when the ball was about to go out of the bottom line, Henry had arrived and passed the ball directly to the penalty area.

Baseline crosses, such a close distance makes it difficult for defenders to do, although they have a large number of people, but they are afraid of the goal, but the offensive players do not have this scruples, just touch the ball, so even if there are many defenders in the penalty area, if the defensive skills are average, and the protection between each other is not enough, it is easy to be broken by one or two opponents.

However, fortunately, Henry did not have enough time to pass the ball, and he passed a high ball in a hurry, and Eto'o and Messi, who grabbed points in the Barcelona penalty area, had a header greater than or equal to zero. No one touched this ball, and it spun directly out of the bottom line.

When Hoffenheim kicked off the goal, Li Huan walked up to goalkeeper Hildebrand and said, "I'll kick off." ”

Hildebrand is a little strange, but Li Huan has absolute dominance of the ball in the game, and Li Huan's long pass is very accurate, Hildebrand understands that Li Huan may be ready to use the long pass to test Barcelona's backline.

Vanney was at the front, it was Pique who was staring at him, Puyol was on the side to help defend, Li Huan's long pass spanned almost the entire stadium, and it fell exactly more than a meter in front of Vanney, Vanney was facing away from Barcelona's goal, Pique wanted to go around the front defense, but Vanney always stuck the position with his body, Pique just couldn't pass, there was a free kick threat from Li Huan, and Pique didn't dare to foul Vanney behind his back. The ball was stopped by Ruud van Nistelrooy with his chest.

Puyol stepped forward to defend, Vanney did not dare to slack off in the face of the two defenders, protecting the ball to find Arshavin on the left, Arshavin quickly pasted to the middle when Vanney got the ball, and Weiss, who was relatively free in the middle, also assisted forward to receive Vanney.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was very experienced, and seeing Arshavin coming over to attract the attention of the Barcelona defence, he stuck to Pique and took a step sideways with his left foot, and directly half-turned and volleyed with his right foot.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot was so sudden that he didn't look at the goal, he was shooting by feeling, but it was a quality shot that went straight to the left side of the goal.

Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdés knew the reputation of Vanney's king of the small penalty area, but he didn't expect to start shooting outside the small penalty area at a distance of about twenty-five or six meters from the goal, and it was such a difficult half-turn volley, Valdés is a nerve knife, or that kind of excited player, although not very stable, but once he plays well, it is like a divine help, and the Champions League final is such an occasion that stimulates Valdés's excitement cells, he reacts very quickly, and a flying side pounce saves the ball out of the bottom line.

Seeing that there was a warm applause again, the shot was beautiful, the save was even more beautiful, such a shot is worthy of the name of the Champions League final, unfortunately there was no goal, of course, for Barcelona fans, it should be lucky that there was no goal.

The on-site commentator entered the game in advance, and Voffenheim's goal did not score, but he was excited like a goal, "Van Nistelrooy, the Dutch shooter has an extremely beautiful shot, this is the first shot of the whole game, Hoffenheim's shot, the game has just been less than five minutes, Hoffenheim's players are at a disadvantage in possession, but Li Huan's long pass and quick attack won a very threatening shot, and now Li Huan is the one who takes the corner." ”

Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot was a thrilling one that the Hoffenheim men were almost disillusioned by Barca's skill in the opening minutes, and it made them feel that they were not completely out of chance of threatening the Barca goal. Therefore, when Li Huan took a corner kick, in addition to the players designated before the game to compete for a header in the Barcelona penalty area, the other players also pressed forward in unison, ready to clear the ball, forming a second opportunity to attack.

Hoffenheim has three high points in the penalty area: Simunic, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Gustavo, and there is also Timoshchuk on the outside of the box ready to shoot from distance. Li Huan's corner kick was passed to the penalty area to find Vanney, hoping to use the air advantage to break Barcelona's goal.

But after Barcelona has Pique, the ability to defend high-altitude balls has been greatly improved, Pique is 1.91 meters tall, and has been influenced by the Premier League for two years at Manchester United, and he is familiar with high-altitude balls, which is also the foundation of his foothold in Barcelona, he and Vanney jumped at the same time, grabbed points at the same time, and actually used the advantage of height to hit the ball first, but Pique's body is still a little thin, and he didn't control it well when he cleared the siege, and the ball just fell to Timoshchuk's feet, and Timoshchuk raised his foot to play, The ball hit Puyol and bounced off the line again.

When Li Huan sent a corner kick again, he didn't look for Vanney again, Vanney has become the target of Barcelona's key defense, Li Huan decided to seek a breakthrough from others, he passed the ball to the back point to find Simunic, with Simunic's height of 1.9 meters, Barcelona's captain Puyol may not be able to prevent him.

However, Hoffenheim still underestimated Barcelona's air defense ability, and the outside world belittled Barcelona's air defense ability very low, in fact, it was a misunderstanding, mainly because Barcelona's foot skills were too good, so that it seemed that their header was very bad, so that other league teams thought that as long as they hit a high-altitude ball, they could break the goal, in fact, there are not many cases of Barcelona being scored by opponents with high-altitude balls this season.

Although Simunic's height is dominant, but the Barcelona lion king Puyol is very strong, he used his body to carry Simunich, Simunic was difficult to jump, but Puyol was a head shorter than him to grab the header first, Simunic is a defender knows how lethal it is to be played by Barcelona at this time, he used his body to resist Puyol at the moment when Puyol jumped up to clear the siege, Puyol was trying to shake his head to give Xavi a counterattack, was carried by Simunic below, the ball did not know where it went, The man also fell.

Although the referee Busaka did not see Simunic's foul action clearly, his rich experience made it easy to guess the truth of the matter, because Puyol could not have fallen down like a stroke when he was about to reach the ball, there must have been a foul below, Busaka whistled and ran over, awarded a free kick in the backcourt, and verbally warned Simunic.

When Barcelona controlled the ball again, Hoffenheim fell into the embarrassment of passively running behind the Barcelona player's buttocks, wanting to steal, couldn't touch the ball, ran with the player, watched Barcelona pass continuously, and played with the ball as a toy.

Before the game, Rangnick made detailed arrangements for the defense, Weiss was specifically targeting Xavi, Tymoshchuk followed closely with Iniesta, Comber and Simunic clamped Eto'o, Li Huan looked at Messi, Baker stared at Henry, but it was not very useful to mark people in the game, and the Barcelona players just kept passing the ball back and forth, and there seemed to be no ** shot. But when Hoffenheim is impatient to be stunned, as long as a little space is revealed, Barcelona's lethal direct pass or side breakthrough will appear immediately, and every Barcelona player seems to have the ability to pass the ball like a straight ball in the front midfield, which makes Hoffenheim players unguardable.

The game played a little more than ten minutes, Hoffenheim's players were played by Barcelona's pass, and could only shrink to the backfield to defend, they did not have much physical exertion, but they were very nervous mentally, Barcelona's through ball was like a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, so that they had to be on guard at all times. This is the feeling of a game that Hoffenheim has never experienced, they can't enjoy the game, they can only feel depressed and helpless. If this weren't the Champions League final, Hoffenheim's players would have been waiting for it. Attacked in a big way.

It seems that the Barcelona players who control the ball at will are actually not easy, Hoffenheim's marking and turtle defense leave them too little space to cooperate, they keep passing the ball but can't find Hoffenheim's defensive gap, although their passing skills are very smart, almost as natural as breathing, but they are chasing and running around the opponent's ghost, and they are also worried that once the pass is wrong, the opponent will get it, and they will be counterattacked immediately, Arshavin has strong personal ability, and Van Nistelrooy's shooting skills are exquisite, They pressed so high in the formation that it was very dangerous to counterattack.

Barcelona and Hoffenheim have their own advantages and worries, before the goal, the comparison is the flash of genius players, the mistakes of the super unlucky, the test is the patience of the players on both sides, is the manager's ability to command and adapt on the spot.

There was no goal in the game, but the fans on the scene did not feel bored, because the atmosphere of the game was very tense, every pass of Barcelona was hidden and killed, it was likely that the moment he looked at it, Barcelona scored a goal, in the first ten minutes, Barcelona did not have a shot, but there were as many as three or four threatening direct passes, each time it was a little worse, but once it was obtained by the Barcelona players, it was immediately a single knife, or a chance to shoot directly.
