After the team warmed up, the players returned to the locker room.
At this moment, fans all over the world are sitting in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of this game.
At this time, the starting lists of both sides have also been taken out, and experts from major radio stations conducted analysis based on the starting lists of both sides.
From the starting point of view.
In fact, the two teams have not made much changes, because at this time, there is no possibility of a surprise victory for both sides - the lineups of the two teams are here, is there any other team now? Can the team produce a player from its youth academy who can change the game at this level?
Where in the world do so many wall hangings come from?
Therefore, in the starting lineup, both sides are very normal and line up according to their usual strongest lineup.
On the Bayern Munich side, goalkeeper Neuer, center back Boateng partnered with Dante, left back Lahm, right back Rafinha, double midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger partnered with Tymoschuk, attacking midfielder Kroos, the wingers on the left and right are Ribery and Robben, the starting center Gomez, Muller is temporarily sitting on the bench, a position of 4231.
On Malaga's side, there is a 433, with goalkeeper Caballero, center back combination Demichelis partnering with Matteisson, left back Monterrey, right back Sanchez, and the iron triangle in the midfield is Turalang and Caballero. Sola, Joaquín, and Yelo played as left wingers. Isco played as an attacking midfielder and stood on the right wing. The starting center forward was Baptista, and Ruud van Nistelrooy sat on the bench. .
Pellegrini valued Ruud van Nistelrooy's experience, but he wanted Baptista, who is stronger and more physically capable and can provide more confrontation and defense, to rush forward first and wait for the second half of the game. Then consider replacing Ruud van Nistelrooy and using his experience to find shooting opportunities.
Experts from all walks of life are doing their best to analyze the starting lineups of both sides.
Eleven simple people can be analyzed and come up with flowers.
In fact, with the development of modern football, formations have become less and less valuable as a reference.
During the game, the formation cannot be so fixed - players change positions and formation changes are very common.
In football matches, formations will change according to changes in the form of the game.
4231 may become 442/433 at any time, 433 may also become 343/352, etc. It is meaningless to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the formation.
In the locker room, the coaches of both sides did not worry about the opponent's formation at this time.
In fact, there is nothing to worry about.
Anyway, Bayern's initial position is 433/4231, which will be adjusted according to different opponents. Málaga's side is either 433 or 442. In short, there is not much change.
The teams that can reach the Champions League finals are basically teams with a relatively stable main structure. It is difficult for a team with an unstable main structure to make it all the way to the end in such a competition.
The tactics of both sides have become very fixed after a season.
In this regard, coaches from both sides have conducted very detailed research.
What every player should and should not do on the court has almost formed a muscle reaction.
In a competition like the Champions League final.
What if the head coach slowly told his players twenty minutes before the game: "Ah, this is our strategy for this game."
Come on.
Then don't kick it.
The field is more professional than you.
It is impossible for the Dragon Country national team to be so amateurish.
What tactics are used in a game must be implemented in daily training.
What's more, it's a game like the Champions League final. In fact, Malaga had been preparing for this game a month ago.
It is absolutely impossible for a head coach to just slap his head and come up with a few clever ideas from behind to determine the outcome of the game.
The tactical choice for any game is finally formulated by the coaching staff after analyzing the opponent and supported by detailed data. It is the crystallization of collective wisdom.
Therefore, many people actually believe that what a head coach really needs is not how good at tactics, but as a team leader, leading the coaching team to formulate the correct route - just like Ferguson.
In fact, Ferguson has long stopped intervening in the team's tactical training and other matters at Manchester United. In terms of training, he almost always hands off the responsibility to his assistant coaches.
Many people seem to have the impression that tactics are the sole responsibility of the head coach, but in fact that is not the case, otherwise the head coaches would not need a large coaching team.
And at this moment.
In both teams' locker rooms.
What are the coaches on both sides saying?
Of course it is to encourage the fighting spirit of the players on both sides.
Tactics require years of practice.
But emotions are a matter of a moment.
There are many factors that affect the outcome of a football match.
Strength is the foundation, and fighting spirit, or the "game attitude" that Dragon Kingdom fans are very familiar with, actually fluctuates around the basic strength.
The stronger the fighting spirit.
Of course, it will burst out with greater combat effectiveness on the court.
"Guys, we have finally reached this arena. In fifteen minutes, perhaps the most important game in the lives of many of us will begin. Perhaps many of you will encounter such a scene in the future, but By far, this game is the most important game in our lives!”
In the Malaga dressing room, Pellegrini's tone was very calm, but the players couldn't help but quiet down when they heard him speak.
Nervousness is inevitable.
Many players have their own ways of relieving their nerves.
But when the head coach started to talk, many players began to feel at ease - at least, we didn't seem to be unprepared for this game, and the head coach seemed very calm.
"I noticed a lot of voices saying that Bayern Munich is far stronger than Malaga, that Bayern can no longer be runner-up, that Bayern's home court is at the Allianz Arena, etc. It seems that we should win this game as a matter of course." said Heynckes, who was also calm.
"But I actually agree with this statement. I may not agree with the process of their argument, but I agree with the conclusion: this is a game that we must win. But we are not doing it for anything else, we are doing it for ourselves. We are the better team, there is no doubt about it, but this is not a reason for us to lose our normalcy because of this, and we cannot be fooled by the media."
"Our opponent is Bayern Munich. They are very powerful and one of the biggest teams in Europe. The game between them and Real Madrid is called the European Derby." Pellegrini shrugged, "European Derby. It seems that they represent the highest level of football in Europe. In fact, this is the case. They are the best team in Germany and probably the best team in Europe. But you know that Real Madrid has also been our team many times. Defeat, we have a lot of experience in defeating such a super giant."
"We are very unlucky this season. I know how humiliating the title Sanya King is! But I am very calm now because we have never given up the game. We are able to get to where we are today because we really We have the strength of the European championship, so in this game, let us take back the trophy that symbolizes the European championship and put it in our honor room. This is our redemption, the redemption of this damn season! In 2010, We have lost once on this stage, but we are back here again two years later. This is enough to prove the strength of Bayern Munich. We are not so much fighting against Malaga, but rather fighting against the past us. , Bayern Munich is back and we are here to take what is rightfully ours!"
In the locker room, no one made a sound.
But Heynckes has seen the flames of reluctance burning in the eyes of many players.
"The real strong man is the one who can defeat himself. Today, we have this opportunity, we have the opportunity to face the challenge. Thank God, please don't let this opportunity slip away in front of us!"
No one spoke in the locker room.
But Heynckes saw the light in every player's eyes.
Some players stood up excitedly and shouted: "This time, we must win!"
"Victory belongs to us!!"
"To hell with your damn fate!"
"What I emphasize is focus and attitude! Whether it's offense or defense, discipline and positivity must be maintained at all times! From the beginning of the game, we must put pressure on them from any angle! Even if it's a foul, even if it's a penalty Card! Guys, this is the best stage, this is the best opportunity!! Many people say Malaga is the dark horse, but let us tell them now with our strength! Fuck the dark horse, we will be The upright European champion!"
The words have not yet fallen.
Ye Luo suddenly stood up with his blood boiling.
Clang.
The chair behind him was knocked to the ground.
But now no one pays attention to such small details.
Ye Luo took a deep breath, stretched out his fist,
"Come on, brothers!"
He did not continue his tirade.
When his fist was extended.
There was no excitement on his face, replaced by calm.
Very peaceful.
Under his influence.
The emotions on the faces of many players have gradually calmed down, and everyone is now gradually calming down.
The fists gradually came together.
Everyone stood in a circle.
"come on!"
The crowd roared!
The voice changes from calm to high-pitched in an instant.
Suddenly.
The calm sea seemed to be turbulent.
A group of bloodthirsty sharks walked out of the locker room door with red eyes.
When players from both sides are standing in the tunnel waiting to come out.
Players on both sides were calm, silent and determined.
The two teams had faced each other in the group stage, but the match at that time no longer had much reference significance, because at the level of the Champions League final, the psychological states of both sides were completely different.
Neither party spoke, and only staff members walked back and forth in the tunnel.
"They're out! The finals are about to begin!"
Everyone got excited.
This is the Champions League final. A European giant like Bayern Munich is facing off against the La Liga champions, the dark horse of the Champions League, Málaga, who may miss the Champions League next season. This kind of drama is really a gimmick.
The Allianz Arena entered its first climax with the appearance of players from both sides!
The huge cheers of the fans shook the stadium.
So much so that the Champions League theme song that was playing became a little noisy.
Just as the players from both sides lined up to enter the stadium, the camera first showed close-ups of some key players, and then suddenly switched to the stands.
"Platini also came to the scene. Of course, he was the guest of honor after the game. If Malaga finally won the championship, I wonder what Platini's expression would be like?"
A commentator said.
There is a lot of bad blood between Malaga and UEFA this season.
Even before the semi-finals, the news of Malaga's ban from the European competition next season was directly revealed to interfere with Malaga's preparations and mentality. However, unexpectedly, Malaga eliminated Barcelona under such circumstances and entered the final. .
So many people are thinking in their hearts
Platini doesn’t know how he feels now,
No one would think that Platini could do anything wrong in a highly anticipated event like the Champions League final.
The Champions League is UEFA's most profitable competition.
Making trouble in the finals is not a sign of failure.
In fact, Platini is really worried about Malaga winning the championship.
The defending champion of the Champions League will not be able to participate in the Champions League next season. The news effect is really explosive.
But he has no other choice now but hopes that Bayern Munich can stop Malaga.
Thinking of those slaps at the Olympique Lyonnais.
Platini felt a dull pain in his face.
He now sees that Ye Luo has become more and more disgusted with this damn Dragon Country man. He is not as humble as Messi at all.
If this guy wins the championship.
How arrogant does that mean?
Platini felt very unhappy when he thought of this.
He saw the Dragon Nation people everywhere on the court and felt even more unhappy.
But now he can only hold it in, there is no other way.
As the referee blew his whistle.
The game officially begins.
Ye Luo kicked the football out, and a flash of light rang out in the stands.
Like stars in the night sky.
The much-anticipated Champions League final has finally begun.
The first to kick off was Bayern Munich wearing a red jersey.
In the first half of the game, they attacked from left to right. Behind them were their own fans, and the stands in the direction of their attack were the stands where the Malaga fans were.
Although there were many Dragon Kingdom fans in the neutral stands on both sides who came to the scene to cheer for Ye Luo, they did not have much organization, so although there were many people, they could not form a joint force. Now the ones who dominate the stadium are still in A battle between die-hard fans from both sides in the stands behind the goal.
In the cheers of the die-hard Bayern Munich fans.
Bayern Munich launched the attack first.
The football moved quickly along the wing.
Lahm, Robben, Kroos, and midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger pressed to this side to support the attack.
The four-man team passed the ball all the way up the left wing, and finally Ram made a pass at the intersection of the bottom line and the penalty area line.
In the penalty area, Gomez jumped high, shook his head and hit the goal. The football was slightly higher than the crossbar!
There was an exclamation of surprise throughout the stands.
The German commentators put their heads in their hands and let out regretful gasps.
"Gomez!! What a pity! The header was a little too high! Bayern Munich launched a quick wing attack at the beginning and created opportunities through teamwork. Bayern Munich almost got a dream start!"
Gomez missed the header.
Looking back, Malaga also immediately launched an attack, preparing to retaliate on the offensive end.
Yelo dribbled the ball along the line of the penalty area and then sent a diagonal through ball. Isco volleyed with his right foot without stopping the ball in the ribs of the penalty area!
The football hit the side netting and the net shook, reminding the stands of exclamations.
Some commentators even almost thought the goal was scored.
"Isco! What a danger!!"
"I almost scored a goal!"
"Less than two minutes into the game, both sides created a threat each! It seems that this game will not be dull!"
"Yeluo almost completed an assist just now, but unfortunately, Isco's shot failed to hit the goal. He pursued the angle too much!"
Isco was still standing in the penalty area, holding his head in his hands. He was annoyed that he failed to seize this opportunity, but he did not forget Yelo who passed the ball to him. After holding his head in his hands and regretting it, he directed at Yelo Thumbs up in the direction.
Ye Luo also felt a little regretful.
But he was not as upset as Isco.
It’s just a test of the state at the beginning.
Now it seems.
The opponent's defense is not airtight either.
There's a chance on offense!
Yello saw an opportunity on the offensive end, so why didn't Bayern Munich do the same?
Players on both sides felt the offense had a chance to break through the opponent's door.
The two goals scored by Gomez and Isco set the tone at the beginning of the game!
Neither side is conservative!
The confrontation between the two sides was also quite fierce.
Especially for Malaga, they also know that they are inferior to Bayern Munich in terms of overall strength, so they hope to gain the advantage of the game by running more actively and engaging in more intense confrontations.
From the beginning of the game, Malaga's pressing seemed very aggressive, and there were also a lot of moves on the hands.
The third minute of the game.
Turalang slid to tackle Kroos.
The German international held his ankle and screamed.
However, the referee on duty only whistled a foul and did not give a card.
This made the German commentator very dissatisfied: "Did Mr. Weber bring the penalty standards of the Premier League to the Champions League? I am not sure whether it is reasonable to arrange for a referee from England to referee this game, because I heard that Ye Luo It is very likely that the season will be in the Premier League. But in any case, such a foul is worthy of a yellow card warning. Webber should know that if he does not stop this behavior, the game will definitely move towards a situation that is difficult for him to control!"
Webber is a senior Premier League referee.
In the Premier League, he has been criticized as the "Queen of Manchester United referees", but in fact Weber is still a very senior international referee, having refereed the European Cup finals and many knockout rounds of the World Cup.
So it's not surprising that Weber will be the manager of this Champions League final.
Others also have this qualification.
Before the game, the German media did not say there was any problem with the referee.
However, after the game started, the German commentator became a little unhappy when he saw Malaga getting physical and confrontational.
They just started picking on the referees.
In fact, German commentators and reporters all know that if the standards of this game are too loose, it will actually not be beneficial to a team like Bayern Munich that has an overall superior technical and tactical advantage.
The commentators and reporters knew it.
Of course Heynckes knew it too.
He stood on the sidelines, observing the game.
Heynckes knew what Pellegrini wanted to do.
They hope to use fierce pressing to gain an advantage and make Bayern Munich fall into disarray under Malaga's pressing.
But Heynckes is not afraid of this.
If Bayern Munich were forced to scramble and get into trouble, they would not be able to eliminate Real Madrid and advance to the final.
In a 1-0 home victory over Real Madrid, Bayern Munich faced greater pressure from Real Madrid, but in the end they withstood the pressure.
Heynckes is not afraid of Malaga's pressing.
The only thing he was worried about was Ye Luo.
In other words, it was Ye Luo's state.
If Yello's state in this game is similar to the last time the two sides met at this stadium, then Bayern Munich will be truly in danger.
Heynckes decided to take another look.
Make some adjustments based on Yeluo's condition. If Yeluo's condition is not good, then he will continue to fight like Malaga.
If Ye Luo is in excellent form, then he will have to come up with ways to curb Ye Luo's performance.
The game only lasted five minutes, and the fierce confrontation between the two sides made all the fans seem not to feel the passage of time.
Everyone was staring at the screen, and the commentators didn't even have a chance to read the lineup of players from both sides.
But for the players on the field.
Five minutes was enough for them to fully enter the game.
Malaga summed up the experience and lessons learned against Bayern Munich in the group stage and decided to press Bayern Munich crazily to disrupt Bayern's overall offensive rhythm. At the same time, they also tried to speed up the rhythm as much as possible to allow both sides to enter the bayonet. In the head-to-head match - the first time the two sides met in the group stage, at the Allianz Stadium, Málaga defeated Bayern through head-to-head. When they returned to their home court, the coaching staff believed that the team had a great advantage in the group. It was big, so they formulated a defensive counterattack strategy, but they almost lost at home. If Yello hadn't scored at the last moment to help the team equalize the score, the first place in the group might have been taken away by Bayern Munich.
Therefore, Malaga decided to strike first in this game, speed up the tempo, and play enough rounds to utilize Yello's powerful finishing ability-as long as Yello can have enough shots, everything will be fine.
Yeluo also tried his best to integrate himself into the team's offensive rhythm during this process.
While playing with speed, Yelo is also concerned about losing the ball.
In countless virtual matches with Bayern.
Yelo summed up some rules of the lost games - first of all, Bayern cannot be allowed to steal the ball in the midfield and counterattack.
This requires Malaga to pass and cut the ball safely in the midfield and backfield.
But Yelo is not a backcourt player, and he cannot allow himself to receive the ball from the backcourt and initiate an attack.
It's like a positional assault.
If you had charged from several trenches away, you would have been killed by the enemy's machine guns over such a long distance.
so.
To break through the enemy's defense, it is best to shorten the charging distance as much as possible.
But in this case, if we want to ensure that we do not lose the ball in the midfield and backfield as much as possible.
Ye Luo's role is very critical.
He chose to retreat slightly and move laterally between the midfielder and the forward line to respond, trying to give his teammates in the midfield and backfield a better passing position, and try to avoid more cross-passes in the midfield and backfield.
In this way, Malaga's offense seems to be faster.
"Yeluo held the ball again. He successfully completed the turn and faced Tymoshchuk's defense. Yello passed the ball to the wing!"
Yelo did not overpower Tymoschuk, but chose to distribute the ball.
Joaquín got the ball on the wing, and at that moment, Cazorla had already advanced from behind him.
Joaquin didn't hesitate and just sent the ball over.
While running, Cazorla looked at the situation in the penalty area, especially when he saw Yelo eager to enter the penalty area, he passed the ball to the center without hesitation!
The football flew into the air, spinning and drawing an arc toward the top of the arc.
Such decisive passing is also a requirement before the game.
On the wing, as long as there is a gap, you can pass directly into the penalty area without considering whether the opportunity is good or not.
Because there are two forwards, Yelo and Baptista, in the penalty area.
Both have some aerial ability.
"Cazorla crosses!"
Ye Luo went straight into the penalty area and then jumped high.
Boateng took off with him.
Facing Boateng's defense, Yello was higher and had stronger physical confrontation ability, so he took the lead to grab the point, and then... headed the ball!
The football suddenly flew from the air toward the goal.
Throughout the Allianz Arena, exclamations and cheers erupted almost simultaneously, making the atmosphere in the entire stadium extremely noisy.
crucial moment.
It was Neuer who took the first shot.
Blocked the ball and blocked the baseline.
Corner kick!
All Bayern Munich fans breathed a huge sigh of relief.
They looked at Ye Luo in the penalty area, and many fans were shocked.
Courtside.
Heynckes' right eyelid twitched.
Ye Luo is in very good condition.
This is not a good sign for Bayern.
"This guy never seems to be in bad condition."
Heynckes murmured softly.
