Chapter 202: The Dismount of the Galactic Battleship
May 23, 2007!
Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece!
At 19:45 in the evening, the 06-07 UEFA Champions League final is about to start!
Players from both sides are warming up on the pitch, and the stands with a capacity of 55,000 fans flying the flags of Real Madrid and Arsenal clubs!
Red and white, Spanish and English...... The atmosphere created by more than 50,000 people is as surging and roaring as the waves and reefs of the Apollo Coast...... Never end, never stop!!
Before the game officially starts, it's time for the fans to perform. Satellite cameras cleverly captured several interesting images from the stands - a fat man in an Arsenal shirt shirtless in the cool night of May, with the Arsenal crest painted in bright red on his round beer belly, wearing a standard military cap and holding a Mauser gun in the shape of a toyman, leading the fans behind him to wave the flag and sing the Gunners' anthem...... And the Spanish fans are no slouch!
The tall blonde beauty was wrapped in a bright red matador suit emblazoned with the logo of the Real Madrid club, waving the glittering stabbing sword in her hand up and down, while the "beautiful bullfighter" stood next to two stout bearded men, dressed as angry bulls, wailing and falling to the ground under the sword of the Real Madrid matador...... Of course, the Bulls have the Arsenal club logo on their bodies!
The broadcast camera swept over, and there were countless such little tidbits in the stands!
On the big electronic screen in the center of the stadium, the key scenes of Real Madrid and Arsenal defeating their opponents in the previous games are constantly being replayed - the wind-scratching and picking shot of the alien fat man Ronaldo, the full moon scimitar of heartthrob Beckham, the heavy bombardment of Brazilian gunner Roberto Carlos, the thousand-mile solo ride of French gun king Thierry Henry, and the deadly pass of Spanish newcomer Cesc Fabregas...... The more than 50,000 fans in the stadium were brought back to happy memories of the previous goal, and every time a goal was scored, both Galacticos fans and Arsenal fans stood up and cheered and screamed for their heroes...... At the end, the picture is frozen in front of two huge photographs - it is the scene of Professor Wenger and the madman Li Tongfan directing the game!
Two people!
One suave, one sharp!
One is as still as water, and the other is as angry as a rushing wave!
Tonight, with less than 20 minutes to go, the two managers with very different surnames will be at the Stadio Olimpico for the clubs they represent and for the fans who support them...... They also battled their wits and strength for one of the most important games of their own coaching careers!
According to the official statistics before the game, more than 30,000 of the 50,000 fans are Arsenal fans...... 19:55!
Players from both sides led 22 cute little ball boys into the stadium to the music of the pitch, and the giant logo of the Champions League was opened in the center of the lawn, and the club logos of Real Madrid and Arsenal were on both sides of the logo!
The match will be broadcast live to more than 400 television stations in 156 countries at the same time through satellite technology, and more than 2,000 journalists from all over the world will come to the Olympic Stadium to broadcast the live broadcast, and no less than 200 commentators from various countries will give live commentary...... The scale is unprecedented!!
The 46-year-old Turkish referee has officiated a total of 6 Champions League games this season, awarded 2 penalties, showed 3 red cards, 11 yellow cards, and an average enforcement rating of 7.55.
20:00!
Force~~~~ Referee Medin Tokat blew the whistle and the game officially began!
Real Madrid, wearing the white jersey of the home team, kicked off first, Raul knocked the football back to Guti behind him, and then quickly stepped forward to the opponent's half, and the broadcast camera gave a volley overlooking the shot, and the players of the two teams were like a red and white army in close combat, ...... mixed together...... Good evening, audience friends! I'm ESPN commentator Zhan Jun, you are now watching the broadcast of the 06-07 UEFA Champions League final, and the two teams that finally entered the final are La Liga team Real Madrid and Premier League giants Arsenal Arsenal...... and the following is an introduction to the starting lineups of the two teams......"
On the commentary seat!
Uncle Zhan Jun is doing the same thing as more than 200 of his peers, and the famous mouth of the British BBC TV station Sester and the best praise Ruud also came to the scene, Seist's passion and Ruud's occasional black cold humor make the BBC broadcast football match 3.3 percentage points higher than the ratings of other competitors in the same period, and has become the new ace weapon of BBC football commentary!
And on Seist's right-hand side, the author's commentary team on Spanish national television, the beautiful Elisabeth Calerina, whose surname is also among them!
On the field!
The two teams are battling it out!
After the absence of the iron waist Gilberto Silva, Professor Arsene Wenger made a change to the 4-1-3-2 formation that the team had been using before - directly removing the midfielder and adding an attacking midfielder, obviously with the calculation of attacking instead of defending!
On the front line of the arsenal, Henry, the king of a generation of gunners, partners with Adebayo, the little monster of Togo!
The striker combination of these two has scored 48 goals for Arsenal this season, ranking first among the four giants of the Premier League in terms of efficiency, and Arsenal can finally qualify for the Champions League final.
Especially Togo's little monster Adebayo, after more than a year of Premier League experience, the rise of this game is like a rocket, and has firmly pressed the promising Dutch goalscorer Van Persie in the position of the third striker! With a height of 1.90 meters, outstanding foot skills, and the terrifying flexibility and explosiveness of a black man, it is enough to make the 23-year-old Togolese little monster a nightmare for any team...... In the midfield, Belarusian former Bundesliga "passing king" Hleb and Dutch genius Van Pei set up the Gunners' wings, while Czech genius Rosicky and this season's precocious genius Seske Fabregas supported the "central axis backbone" of the arsenal!
At the back, French rookie Klich, Swiss newcomer Senderos, Ivorian elephant Chlo Toure and former Chelsea defensive stalwart Gallas lined up from the right!
Standing in the Gunners' penalty area is Uncle Lehmann, who has just been "forty years old" and finally defeated a generation of lion king Kahn in the 06 World Cup and became Germany's No. 1 national goal!
As for Real Madrid, goalkeeper Santo Cassie, defender Robert Carlos, Joel Luca, Cannavaro and Ramos are the four fierce gods; The front is Gu Shuai, the back is Bei Shuai, the two wings are Reyes and Modric, and Ronaldo partners with Raul, the Lord of the Rings!
At the beginning of the game, the two sides completely gave up each other's temptations, and directly started the bloody battle of real knives and real guns!
Real Madrid used the ball to launch an almost goal-breaking attack in the first minute - Guti quickly turned to Beckham after receiving Raul's knock, and Bei Shuai directly made a long pass to Raul who had been inserted forward at the first time, due to Arsenal's lack of midfield, this kind of precision-guided long ball was extremely threatening for the Gunners backfield, and Raul, who was not physically strong, actually grabbed the first point and headed the ball back...... This rub seems to be a bit big, directly past the four big King Kong on the Arsenal back line and hoisted into the penalty area!
Since it was just the beginning of the game, the "Toures" didn't seem to be in the state yet, so they didn't turn around to deal with it at the first time, but waited for the old goalkeeper Lehmann to attack to "wipe his ass...... The fans in the stands had the same thought: the pass was too big, there was no threat!
However, there was a silver fat man who stood up unreasonably and told the rookies in the Champions League final with his actual actions what is called - speed!!!
The Swiss centre-back Senderos, who turned the least, only felt a white whirlwind blowing past him, and before he could figure out who was rushing through, the exclamations in the stands were already surging like the tide of the Apollo Coast...... "...... Ronaldo !!! The pace was so fast that Arsenal's defenders didn't have time to react...... Lehmann strikes, can he touch the ball? Uncle Zhan Jun's tone rose sharply: "Hey, the German international took the first step to shovel the ball out...... The game had just started and there was a great scene on the pitch, with Real Madrid warning their opponents with a very dangerous attack, and this was the Champions League final...... If you want to win a championship, you have to give it your all from the first second......"
Satellite broadcast footage - the fat man wearing the No. 9 Real Madrid jersey seemed to be stepping on the invincible Hot Wheels under his feet, and swooped past Senderos and Kolo Toure...... However, Arsenal's danger was not lifted, because Uncle Lehmann shoveled out to beg for ghosts fell to the feet of the golden wolf Guti, who was inserted more than 50 meters away from the goal, Guti did not stop the ball and directly slammed it with the instep of his foot, and the football flew upside down and slowly fell in the direction of the Arsenal goal...... "...... Dangerous!!!!! Guti's lob shot flew straight into the empty goal, will this goal go in???? Lehmann was too late to defend and Gallas was struggling to keep up...... Oh, God!!!! The French who never give up...... Gallas saved Arsenal from the brink of death!! Barb clearance on the goal line!! A thrilling scene, if the French defender slows down for a second, the whole football will cross the goal line......"
Football was like a sneaky burglar, and at the moment when he was about to slip into the goal, Gallas, the "Guardian Dog", who was the first to reach the goal line, kicked out with an irregular barb, and another Gunners defender who followed closely behind, Kolo Toure, kicked out of the touchline...... Only 1 minute and 18 seconds have passed in real time on the electronic scoreboard over the stadium, and Real Madrid's offensive has shocked all the gunners in the stands and in front of the TV into a cold sweat...... Edi's mother, the real TMD's hanging !!
Nine-time champion Real Madrid and Champions League final "first brother" Arsenal met for the first time, and they gave their opponents a vicious dismount!
The game, full of suspense from the beginning!
