Super Storm

Under the dark night sky, in the gorgeous night view of Rome, the Olympic Stadium as bright as the day seemed like a dormant beast, which was daunting.

Although it was still far from the start of the game, the Olympic Stadium was already full of people and full of people.

The stadium stands, which can accommodate a total of more than 62,000 fans, are occupied by fans from both Liverpool and Barcelona teams. As the home team tonight, Liverpool fans are all wearing Liverpool traditional red jerseys.

Barcelona and their fans avoided Liverpool's red and put on their own yellow away jersey.

Fans of the two teams are very clear in the stands, but they are doing their best to cheer for the team they support.

This is a pinnacle of global attention, which will attract the attention of all media and fans around the world.

Especially as the game time approached, all the guests gathered in the stands.

UEFA President Platini, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, Spanish King Juan Carlos, Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero, British Royal Representative Prince William, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown ...

This is not just a feast for football, but also an annual event for European politics and business.

Before the start of the game, a short but grand performance was held on the scene. The protagonist was Jupiter, the king of ancient Roman gods dressed in lightning, which fully demonstrated the long tradition and history of Rome.

Accompanied by the theme song of "Gladiator" sung by Italian blind tenor Bocelli, the model in gold costume walked into the stadium with the St. Black Cup model, then Bocelli began to sing the Champions League. The theme song of the league pushed the atmosphere of the game to the extreme.

...

"The opening show before the game is over, and the fans look enthusiastic."

"The live camera switched to the player channel. We can see that both teams have lined up at the entrance of the channel and are ready to play at any time. The camera is aimed at the head referee tonight, from Busaka, Switzerland."

"We can also see the roster of the two teams tonight."

"First of all Liverpool, we saw the goalkeeper Reina, the back line was Orelio, Skotel, Carragher and Aveloa, the midfielders were Gareth Bari, Mascherano, Xavi Alonso and Gerrard, double forwards are Yang Yang and Kuyt. "

"At present, we are unable to know whether Liverpool's platoon formation is playing four three three, four four two, or four three one two. Benitez's platoon formation has always been surprisingly winning, often very impressive. accident."

"Whether it is Yang Yang, Gerrard, or Gareth Barry, these three players can be qualified for multiple positions at the same time, which gives Benitez's platoon formation more ample space, how to arrange it You can see clearly in the game. "

"The same goes for Barcelona."

"We saw goalkeeper Valdes, the back line was Abidal, Pique, Puyol and Daniel Alves, the midfielder was a combination of Iniesta, Busquets and Xavi, the frontcourt was Henry , Eto'o and Messi. "

"It was reported by the media before that Guardiola is likely to put Messi in the middle to let Henry and Etoola side, but in the end it is not the case, we have to wait until the game to see clearly."

...

Yang Yang stood in Liverpool's queue and chatted with Messi and Iniesta in the Barcelona team.

Although it is necessary to wait in the game for a while, but under the court, they are still in harmony with each other.

Don't look at Messi's fierce shouting before the game, as if he wanted to swallow Yang Yang and Liverpool in one bit, but the Argentine is still very shy and very polite to Yang Yang.

In the chat room, with the greet of the referee Busaka, Yang Yang and Messi and others had good luck, and slowly walked out of the player channel with the queue.

The players of the two teams were greeted by a tsunami from more than 60,000 fans in the stands. All of them were in the stadium. It was not clear what they were calling.

Some people shouted at the team, some shouted at the players, and others shouted to cheer, intertwined, and the momentum was loud.

Gerald is still superstitious. Before going out of the player's tunnel, he repeatedly told Liverpool players that they should not touch the St. Black Cup at the entrance of the tunnel anyway. It is said that they will miss the trophy after touching it.

Although I don't know where Gerald heard the news, no one in Liverpool really touched it.

Not only Liverpool but also Barcelona players.

Twenty-two players from the two teams were divided into two rows. From the left and right of the St. Black Cup, the players walked in. From the beginning to the end, no one touched the Champions League trophy at their fingertips. Obviously it looks so attractive. .

...

After taking off his training jacket and revealing the inside jersey, Liverpool began to open up.

Barcelona won Liverpool when guessing the side, so Puyol won the kick-off.

At this time, the two teams opened their positions and their positions were basically clear, and Yang Yang also admired Benitez from the heart.

At least in the preparation for the ring before the game, Benitez really did quite well.

Because Guardiola really put Messi in the middle, Eto'o hit the right and Henry kicked the left.

If Liverpool really takes a double-half play, it is estimated that the first half of the game will be very passive, and even one accidentally may lose the opportunity.

What Yang Yang did not know was that while he was surprised by Guardiola ’s tactics and Benitez ’s rainy plans, the opposing Barcelona players, including Messi, were also surprised by Benitez ’s on-the-spot change, and Guardiola's magical tricks.

Because Yang Yang and Kuyt are standing on the outer sides of the middle circle, this represents Liverpool's double forward.

Guardiola seldom took the initiative to provoke Liverpool before the game, hoping that the Reds could take the initiative to fight against Barcelona, ​​but in fact he was very clear that Liverpool could not do so.

Sometimes this is the case with football games.

…………

…………

When the referee Busaka blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Messi quickly kicked the ball to Eto'o, who quickly returned to the midfield to Busquets, and then back to the back line.

Yang Yang and Kuyt sprinted forward simultaneously to take the Barcelona defense.

One was aimed at Puyol and the other was aimed at Pique. The two pressured at the same time, plus the front pressure of Gareth Barry and Gerrard on the left, Liverpool formed an aggressive momentum after the opening.

This is the opening strategy of Liverpool, hoping to frustrate the spirit of Barcelona from the beginning and disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

The players in Barcelona looked a little nervous at the start. After all, many of them played in the Champions League final for the first time. Unlike Liverpool, they played one game two years ago. Many people have even played in three Champions League finals.

In experience, Liverpool are even better.

Pique made a long pass and tried to get to the frontcourt, but Scotell headed down.

Liverpool made a counterattack from the left, Aurelio hit the ball with a straight kick, and went past the centre line. Gareth Barry received the ball.

Yang Yang retreated from the front and raised his hand for the ball.

Stopping the ball, turning around, Yang started with the ball from the left and rushed diagonally towards the penalty area.

But he just started, Busquets decisively hit the ball, did not break the ball, but tripped Yang Yang.

The referee Busaka whistled decisively and gave Liverpool a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt, but did not draw.

Liverpool fans at the scene immediately booed.

...

This position is exactly the most comfortable angle in Yangyang, a little far away from 32 meters.

After Yang Yang released the ball, he slowly pushed away.

Barcelona is also close to the enemy, Guardiola even rushed to the sidelines and directed the players to arm.

Everyone was very nervous, and obviously worried about Yang Yang's direct free kick.

In the past two or three years, Yang Yang's direct free kick score has been very good.

"I don't know how Yang Yang's footwork is tonight?" The on-site commentator said the voices of all fans in the stadium and in front of the TV.

Only hearing a whistle from Busaka, Yang Yang took a deep breath and quickly rushed forward. After standing with his left foot, his right foot directly hit a curve ball.

At the scene, an obvious muffled noise was heard, and the ball shot out quickly, surpassing the head of the wall inside the penalty area, falling down quickly, with a strong rotation, and flew to the left of the goal.

Valdes responded extremely quickly, flying to make a save, and his right hand extended as far as possible.

But when he felt the ball approaching, he found that the ball in the air was actually falling obviously, which suddenly shocked him, and the external evaluation of Yang Yang's free kick appeared in his mind.

Deadly arc, unpredictable!

Valdes thought he had been defeated, but unexpectedly, there was another muffled noise next to his ear.

With a bang, the ball hit the post on the left side of the goal heavily and bounced back to the penalty area.

All of a sudden, a burst of relief exclaimed at the scene.

The Liverpool players ambushing in the penalty area also rushed forward. Gerrard and Kuyt both rushed to the ball. In the end, Kuyt took the first step to hit the goal, but Pique was faster. The shot blocked the bottom line.

Corner kick!

"My God, I'm almost there!"

"Barcelona escaped, and Yang Yang's direct free kick arc was very erratic. Valdes couldn't even stop it. In the end, the goal saved Barcelona."

"Liverpool's opening attack was very threatening, especially Yang Yang. At the opening, he showed his prowess. With a free kick full of threats, he almost broke the goal of Barcelona."

Liverpool fans at the scene gave a warm applause, obviously affirming Yang Yang's opening free kick, but Yang Yang himself was not satisfied, because he just didn't control the free kick.

The game has just started, he has not really entered the state.

If this free kick is a little later, when his body warms up and his footwork is more skillfully used, then this ball will really be there, what a pity to have a great scoring opportunity!

But he believes that this free kick is enough to deter Barcelona.
