Chapter 764 Champions League Final (3)(1/2)
May 28, Rome Olympic Stadium
There was already a tsunami in the stands. Even though the final battle had not begun, the atmosphere among the fans was already extremely hot. In the face of the final championship, no one could calm down.
While the players on both sides were warming up, the singing in the stands never stopped. Vardy was worried that they would not have the strength to cheer for the team after the game began.
In the player channel, the atmosphere seemed dull. There were no players in the teams that were too familiar with each other. Only Valdy, who chatted with Pique for a few words and joked.
Chairman Pi has just returned to Barcelona this season and has been playing for Manchester United before, but this tall central defender with excellent skills has not received much opportunity at Manchester United.
Valdy has already shining with stars, but Pique is still the substitute who can't even play the ball. Usually, few people in Manchester United are willing to deal with Espanyol.
Only Valdi and Ronaldo regard it equally. Sometimes Pique will be invited to the party, so their relationship has always been good.
Indeed, Vardy knew in his previous life that Pique was a pure regionalist, but he was unwilling to involve politics and football. At least you are my teammate now, and everyone has a good time to get along with. As for how you are willing to go in the future, that is your own business.
"I don't want to face you very much today. I'd better let Yaya Toure, that black man and forcefully get involved with you. I hope you like this type!" Pique said to Valdi mischievously.
Vardy shrugged, looking indifferent. Anyway, he was always here. Even if Yaya Toure is black and hard, isn't he still less black and hard?
In the end, they were all completely defeated by themselves, and in fact there is no essential difference between them and ordinary defenders.
Although Vardy is thin, her ability to fight is actually not bad at all after being systematically improved.
Vardy admitted that he could not hit Drogba, but Vardy was definitely not afraid of him if he changed him.
Yaya Toure is a standard B2B player. Later, at the peak of Manchester City, he won’t mention the defense for now. He can score more than 20 goals alone, which is definitely a bulldozer. He simply dribbles on the court and pushes him horizontally.
Vardy likes this type of player very much. In the England national team, Gerald and Lampard are teammates, and in Inter Milan, Cambiaso is also supported by the back. Vardy always feels much more relaxed on the court.
However, today Yaya Toure plays a guest appearance as a central defender, and it is very likely that he will specifically target Valdi. With his athletic ability and physical fitness, Valdi is really not easy to deal with.
God is fair. Giving you enough flexibility, you cannot give you a tank-like body. These are two parallel lines that completely disjoint.
Before appearing, Vardy looked at Messi and found that Messi was actually looking at him. His eyes met. Vardy saw the meaning of challenge and infinite fighting spirit in Messi's eyes.
Shaking his head and chuckled, he was young and frivolous, as if the coal boss is still a passionate boy, always thinking that he has the ability to defeat anyone, so when facing Vardy who is stronger than him, he will show a stronger desire to fight and try to prove himself.
This is very second-rate!
Vardy felt that he had long passed the age of being able to compete with others, and that would only make him look very childish.
So, Vardy just grinned and smiled at Messi, thinking that the smile was filled with sunshine.
But in fact, this smile made Messi a little creepy, because in his opinion, Vardy's smile was definitely not good-looking.
When Valdy smiled, God was distressed!
This is by no means a joke. If Vardy had targeted you, maybe when you had seen God, you wouldn't know how you died.
Playing football well, Messi is not afraid, just afraid that Vardy is thinking about how to make you funny, and before he knows it, he will get cold.
Players from both sides walked into the stadium, and the stands immediately reached a climax. All the fans began to shout at the top of their lungs, and the deafening cry also shocked the players on both sides.
Both teams haven't won the Champions League for a long time.
The last time Barcelona approached the Champions League championship was in the 2005-06 season, but in the final, they lost to Manchester United where Vardy was.
As for Inter Milan, it is even longer. At least this wave of players has no experience in the Champions League final.
So now, the players are extremely excited. Amid the fans' calls, it seems that their hearts are about to jump out of their mouths.
Dong
Dong
Dong
......
Every heartbeat resonates with the impulses in the heart and stimulates the players' nerves.
Here, they are already determined and ready to go!
The Champions League final, we are here!
......
The first one to kick off was Barcelona. The tactical system of this Catalan giant is exactly the same as that of the Spanish national team. The only difference is that they have Messi, while the Spanish national team does not.
The difference is very big. As a team based on the passing and control tactics, it is a very happy thing to have a star with excellent threatening area forward ability. In the Spanish national team, it is not able to play the role played by Messi.
After the opening, Spain opened the team, and kept stumbled on the midfield and backcourt, mobilizing Inter Milan's midfield defense to find opportunities and wait for opportunities.
Inter Milan firmly implements the tactics that they are best at, pressing at high positions in the midfield, stabilizing defense, and then making a quick strike.
Just like the European Cup final in 2008, Spain vs. England, it is a completely replica.
Spain has the advantage of possession, but Inter's offense is even more threatening, and this is no different.
And this is also very consistent with the fans' expectations for this game. If Inter Milan controls the ball and Barcelona strikes back, it will be strange.
A few minutes later, the test of both sides ended and the real contest began.
Facing a team with extremely smooth ball control, Vardy is very distressed. He is always slipping around like a monkey. Not to mention whether it is embarrassing or not, he is also irritable, right?
If you ask Vardy who his opponent he doesn't like the most, then the answer Vardy will definitely not be a monk like Pepe, a clingy centre-back who is as clingy as snot, or a striker who scores goals, but a core organization like Xavi.
Among them, Xavi is the most unbearable for Valdi. On the court, the circle was so confused.
For such an opponent, Vardy can only keep sprinting and then sprinting, and then use limited defensive characteristics such as barbaric collisions or deadly flying tackles to force the opponent, and the chance of success is not high.
Today's referee obviously has strict law enforcement standards. Vardy was fouled for two consecutive times to grab the ball against Xavi.
The two defensive characteristics only have the effect of reducing the foul being judged, but they cannot be completely avoided, especially when the referee's eyes are shining, which is actually not very useful.
At this time, Vardy knew that he could not do whatever he wanted, otherwise he would be able to get a yellow card for too much stealing action, which would definitely not be worth the loss.
Fortunately, Inter Milan has excellent defense. Even if Vardy cannot grab the ball, Barcelona's offense will be difficult for Inter Milan's midfield defense, and there is not much danger.
So finally, Vardy simply stood there and watched Barcelona's slow pass without any hesitation.
If you want to pass it on, just pass it on slowly. Anyway, as long as you don’t cause trouble for us, I don’t know who is in a hurry in the end.
At least Inter Milan's tactical style determines that they will never be the impatient person.
The game was far from as exciting as everyone imagined. After more than ten minutes, the two teams did not have a real threat to attack. The scene was extremely dull, which made the fans feel very disappointed.
There is no way. It does not mean that the two super strong teams will definitely be full of passion when they fight. Mars hits the earth as fiercely. When the championship trophy is placed on the podium on the sidelines, even Barcelona must first ensure that they do not lose the ball, and then consider how to win.
Of course, the truly exciting moment has not yet arrived. When the two teams gradually make a real shot, the excitement will be presented to the fans.
After the 10-minute test, Barcelona gradually began to increase the number and frequency of forward shots. This subtle change has shown Barcelona's determination to attack.
In fact, the real first wave of threatening attack was indeed played by Barcelona, and they also scored goals, giving Barcelona a lead.
In the 12th minute of the first half, Iniesta broke away from the left small range and passed two Inter defensive players, but did not go in the penalty area with tight defense, but continued to go down the sideline, and finally passed a cross.
Although Macon, who was in the peak state, may not be able to grab the ball under Iniesta, at least it would not be easily passed. Macon, who had been forcibly following Iniesta, had already raised his foot to intercept the moment Xiaobai made a cross, and finally successfully blocked the cross from the baseline.
Xavi took the corner kick and flew over the penalty area. Matrazi, who had a clear air-resistance advantage, rushed outside the penalty area, but Messi grabbed the second landing point. Taking advantage of the inter Milan players rushing out, Messi scored a pass and scored into the penalty area, preparing to land at the feet of Cheetah Etoo.
Etoo quickly turned around and wanted to touch the small penalty area. Cambiaso was shocked and stretched out his foot to intercept the ball. At this time, you must not hesitate. Any hesitation may bring the most fatal blow.
However, what Cambiaso didn't expect was that before his foot touched the ball, Etoo staggered and fell into the penalty area, as if he was mixing something.
Before Cambiaso could react, Etoo quickly adjusted his posture and lay on the grass, spread his arms and kept waving up and down, shouting loudly at the referee inside his mouth.
Even if I didn't hear him yelling, even if I guess with my butt, I could guess what he was yelling to protest.
At this time, Cambiaso finally realized it.
Are you actually cheating on a penalty kick here?
But what he couldn't accept was that the referee quickly rushed into the penalty area, and the whistle kept ringing, and his fingers were on the penalty spot, giving Barcelona a penalty kick.
In an instant, Inter Milan players were in an uproar. The players rushed over to surround the referee and protested with ferocious expressions, especially Cambiaso, with the anger in his eyes as if he wanted to swallow the referee alive.
This is by no means a joke. Even if the referee is unlikely to change the penalty, they still can't suppress their impulse and anger. This penalty kick was like a bolt from the blue, slashing directly on their heads, causing unbearable pain.
What a joke, can you get a penalty if you just fall into the penalty area?
Then there is no need to compete in this game. Everyone is lying in the opponent's penalty area to see who has the better posture and who wins the game?
Cambiaso was humble!
He didn't even touch Eto'o's hair!
Etoo's purest diving move is already the purest, and it makes people hate it.
The Barcelona fans in the stands cheered, while Inter Milan fans angrily scolded, which was completely two extremes.
Barcelona players rushed over to help the referee clear the ball, which was beneficial to Barcelona's penalty and must not be pulled back by Inter Milan, otherwise they would be sorry for Etoo's wonderful and vivid performance.
No matter how Cambiaso explains and how to use his limbs to cover up Etoo's fake fall, the referee is unmoved and determined, as if he is so fair and able to stick to principles.
Cambiaso finally turned around and fisted angrily, punching him hard, and this action also brought him a yellow card.
Inter Milan players looked at the referee with cold expressions, as if they were watching the enemy who killed their father. If there were no legal constraints, the referee might not have known how many times he had died.
Vardy turned around and walked silently outside the penalty area. The penalty kick had become an established fact and he could not change it.
The thing that is most worried about happened. Whether it is UEFA's manipulation behind the scenes or whether it is just Barcelona's strategy, the problem now is that Inter Milan is awarded a penalty kick and may face a backward situation in one minute, and the blow to Inter Milan's morale is the worst.
Next, it can be expected that Barcelona, which led the way, will definitely make more invalid passes in their own half, using passes instead of defense, dragging Inter Milan to the abyss of hell.
To be continued...
