***********
"Beep!" With the Italian referee Rossetti's whistle, the championship battle of the 13th European Cup officially kicked off.

In the tactical arrangement before the game, Mourinho emphasized one point, that is, to 'strive for the first goal', so after the game started, the England team was very active.

Li Rui was very active at the beginning of the game, frequently raising his hands to ask for the ball, and his teammates also cooperated very well, often handing the football to his feet, and let him lead the offense.

"The England team is becoming more and more mature. Li Rui has integrated into the team very quickly. Now, most of England's offense is related to Li Rui. Obviously, this is also Mourinho's tactical arrangement." Tai I am quite satisfied with the performance of the England team after the start of the game.

After the start of the game, the German team was very cautious. Unlike the tentative attack shown by the England team, the German team focused on defense. First, they stabilized their formation and then waited for an opportunity to counterattack. .

***********
Beckham took the ball, Schweinsteiger came up to intercept, Beckham chose to knock the football back.After Lampard got the ball, he dribbled forward with the ball. Using his strong body, he squeezed away Rolfes, who had been following him, and passed the football into the penalty area.

Li Rui got the ball in the penalty area. He leaned against Mertesacker beside him, and then pushed Mertesacker away with his waist and abdomen. Then he twisted his waist, turned around, adjusted his step slightly, and then It's just a long shot, and the whole movement is beautifully connected.

The quality of the shot is also very high. The power of this shot is great. The ball just left the foot and arrived in front of the goal in an instant. Amidst the exclamation of the German fans, Lehmann made a beautiful side attack and blocked the ball. bottom line.

"Beautiful shot! Lehmann saved Germany, he blocked a wonderful goal." Lineker was talking, watching the slow-motion replay, full of praise for Li Rui's shot, and Li Rui shot the entire goal There is no sloppy action in the action, it is very crisp.

***********
Li Rui shook his head. When he shot the goal just now, he almost thought that the ball was there, but he was thrown out by Lehman.

After the start of today's game, Li Rui's biggest feeling is that this game will be more difficult for him. The two central defenders of the German team, Mertesacker and Metzelder, are tall and tall. Li Rui is at a disadvantage physically for that type of defender, and he can't take much advantage.

The England team's offense was very strong after the opening, and the offense followed.

In the 11th minute, Gerrard received a long pass from Hargreaves, stopped the ball with a beautiful chest, controlled the football under his feet, and Ram immediately came up to intercept.

Gerrard looked at Lampard, who was coming to meet him, which made Ram think that he was going to pass the ball to Lampard, and immediately shifted his center of gravity. However, this was just a deception. When Ram shifted his center of gravity, Gerrard , suddenly flicked the ball with his toes, the football flew up and passed over Lahm’s head, Li Rui ran back in the penalty area, and under the interference of Mertesacker, he barely returned the football, and Gerrard who followed was just kicked Long shot.

Lehmann didn't react at all to the long-range shot. The football flew past the post and hit the billboard behind the goal, making a loud noise.

***********
"Beautiful! This is the England we want to see! The Germans have no strength to fight back! Now, everything is fine, only one goal away!" Taibi shouted.

"That's right!" The England fans in front of the TV held up their wine glasses and agreed loudly. After the game started, the England team took the initiative on the field, and the Germans were oppressed to defend passively, which made the England fans feel very refreshed, just as The commentator Taibi said that it is only one goal away from the climax.

***********
The England commentator and England fans were very happy, while the German commentator seemed worried. Every attack of the England team made them break out in a cold sweat.

"What about our offense? Defense can't score goals. The team needs to attack, and use offense to contain the English offensive!"

Before the German commentator finished speaking, Rooney received a pass from Beckham, and after colliding with Li Rui, he lifted his foot and shot a long shot. However, what made the German fans feel relieved was that this kick Rooney didn't have the strength to kick the goal, the football was not fast, and Lehman fell to the ground and hugged the football firmly.

Later, Lehmann got up, strode to the penalty area line with the football in his arms, and immediately threw the ball to attack.

"Counterattack!" Lyman roared loudly.

***********
Lehman's hand throw was so powerful that he almost threw the football near the center circle.

Ballack received Lehmann's pass, and then without waiting for the ball to stop, he directly passed a long pass and passed the football to the frontcourt. This is the moment of counterattack, and he is not allowed to make extra moves.

Although the German team was very passive after the start of the game, in the frontcourt, Podolski was always cruising in the frontcourt, which is a signal ready to counterattack at any time.

At this time, England's attack had just ended, and Lehmann's vigorous throw of the ball launched a quick counterattack. It took only a dozen seconds for the football to pass from the German team's penalty area, to Ballack's feet, and then to the frontcourt. The players haven't had time to replay yet.

Almost at the moment when Ballack passed the ball, Podolski started to start and accelerated to run forward. In England's attack just now, Terry, who was behind the defense, hurried back and raised his hand to signal Podolski to be offside.

***********
"The German team's counterattack! Be careful!!!" Lineker suddenly became nervous.

"Counterattack! Opportunity - kill the Englishman!!" The German commentator burst out excitedly, which scared the Austrian commentator next to the German commentary seat. It is rare for the serious Germans to have such a crazy moment. Football can make them so groggy.

Terry ran back desperately while raising his hand to signal Podolski was offside.

But the linesman ignored his complaint, and the referee's whistle did not sound.

"No offside! No offside! The anti-offside was successful! Polti! This is Deutsche's chance!"

***********
Terry didn't hear the whistle, and he didn't have time to think about whether Podolski was offside. Since the referee signaled that there was no offside, it was dangerous now, and he yelled something bad in his heart. Terry chased Podolski. In the past, he shouted loudly, signaling his teammates to return to defense.

In fact, there is no need for Terry to remind. When Ballack passed the long pass, everyone realized the danger. At this moment, Richards was running back desperately on the wing, and Ferdinand was also tightly Following the footsteps of Klose on the other side, he must be careful that Podolski passes the ball to Klose.

***********
Podolski did not pass the ball to Klose. He noticed that James was a bit forward. Obviously, James is a little hesitant now. Whether you stick to the door or stick to it, you must be resolute, and you must not hesitate, otherwise it will be a disaster.

That's it for the moment!

Noticing that James was standing a bit forward, Podolski moved in his heart and immediately chose the hanging door.

The football flew away from the toes, drew an arc, and flew towards the goal. James was taken aback. He took two steps back again and again, and at the same time tried to raise his arms, hoping to touch the football. The shot was really beautiful. James retreated again and again, his arms were almost stretched to the limit, but he still couldn't touch the football. He slipped and fell on his head.

The football continued to slide, and almost flew into the goal by rubbing against the crossbar, then rolled up the net, and fell to the ground with a swish.

***********
"Goooooooooooooooal!!!!"

"What a beautiful goal! Podolski's lob shot!! This is the most beautiful goal of the German team in this European Cup! And this goal gave us a 1-0 lead! Long live Germany!! "The German commentator raised his arms and shouted.

"Damn...the Germans took the first shot, but they scored...this is really bad! James made a low-level mistake, and his hesitation was fatal! This is really a stupid mistake." Tabby took off the headset angrily Drop, obviously, this conceded goal made him very annoyed and depressed. England shot 5 times after the opening, but missed the goal, while the German counterattacked and scored.

The German commentator cheered excitedly for the goal, while the English commentator seemed annoyed, and the fans of the two countries in the stands behaved similarly to their commentators.

A huge cheer erupted from the stands where the German fans were seated, arms raised in cheers.

The England fans put their heads in their hands and couldn't believe their eyes.It is no wonder that England fans have such an expression. After the start of the game, England's performance was excellent. Whether it was ball possession or the number of shots, England had an absolute advantage. Moreover, strictly speaking, Podolski's shot, It should be the first shot of the German team, and it actually scored, which is really frustrating...

***********
Podolski, who scored the goal, seemed extremely excited. He raised his fist, waved his mouth, and roared at the same time. He rushed to the stands of the German fans and received thunderous applause and cheers from the German fans. At this moment, it is a national hero in the hearts of the Germans!
"What nonsense!" Li Rui spat on the ground, feeling very unhappy and depressed. England had the upper hand. Even Li Rui himself had a shot that was almost inevitable, but he failed to score. In a blink of an eye In the meantime, the German took the lead with his first shot, which is really uncomfortable.

***********
On the sidelines of the court, seeing the football flying into the goal, Mourinho lowered his head and cursed, and kicked falsely, as if to vent his displeasure.

And the team leader Alan Shearer beside him was also a little emotional. He waved his arms angrily and muttered in his mouth, dissatisfied with the hesitation of England goalkeeper James when he attacked.

The English players on the bench also held their heads. Obviously, this conceded goal dealt a huge blow to the morale of the England team.

***********
England's side is gloomy, but on the bench of the German team not far from England's bench, it is another world, full of cheers.

When the substitute players of the German team saw the goal, they all jumped up and waved the towels in their hands, even the coats, and everything that could be waved, venting their excitement and excitement.

The head coach of the German team, Loew, was almost the first to jump up when the football flew into the goal. He jumped up three times in a row, which shows how excited he is.

This is the final of the European Cup. If you can score first, you will be one step closer to the Delaunay Cup. Can you not be excited, can you not be happy?
***********
"After the start of the game, England had the upper hand and continued to attack. Unexpectedly, it was the passive German team that broke the deadlock first. This is really surprising!"

"It was a beautiful counterattack! In addition to Podolski for the goal and Ballack for the assist, the German fans would like to thank the goalkeeper Lehmann. Initiated, the German team's counterattack was too fast, from Lehmann's throwing the ball to the goal, it took less than half a minute... The England team played their beautiful start in this cup, but now the score Falling behind - but that's the beauty of the game of football, isn't it?"

In the 15th minute of the game, the first goal of the 13th European Cup final finally appeared, but the goal was the passive German team, which surprised the neutral commentator, but anyway, the goal Appeared, this is the happiest thing for neutral fans.

Goals appear, and the following games will become more and more exciting.

***********
Mourinho made a gesture, asking the players to hold their ground and not be affected by this conceded goal.

"It's only 15 minutes, there is still half an hour in the first half, there is plenty of time to score goals! Don't panic!" Captain Beckham also clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

It is impossible not to be affected. After all, the scene is dominant, the morale of the team is very good, and everyone is in good condition. Under such circumstances, the opponent is allowed to take the lead. This is not a small blow to the English players.

Especially goalkeeper James, because his unresolute attack made Podolski's wonderful lob, which made him blame himself. He kept thinking about the goal just now, and even got a little distracted. Tiger's long-range shot was not powerful, but James let it go. If it wasn't for Terry's sharp eyes and quick feet, he quickly kicked the football out of the sideline with a big foot, and Klose would have succeeded in making up the empty goal.

Although he was very annoyed, Terry did not get angry at James. The position of the goalkeeper is too sensitive. At this time, getting angry at James will not do any good except to make him blame himself and make mistakes.

"Don't think about the conceded goal just now. It's not your fault. If you want to object, I'm the most responsible for the offside failure just now." Terry pulled James and said.

***********
In the 23rd minute of the game, England almost equalized the score.

Beckham suddenly made a long pass from the right. This pass tore through the defense of the German team. In front of the penalty area, Li Rui inserted at high speed. Instead of stopping the ball, he used the arch of his foot. Putting the football to the other side, Rooney got the ball, which surprised the German team's defense. Mertesacker was the one behind the German team's defense. He just rushed to Li Rui, but saw Li Rui pass The ball was gone, and it was too late to turn around and pounce on Rooney.

Rooney got the ball, went inside the penalty area, and rushed in!

"Single-handed! England's chance!" Lineker's high-pitched roar sounded.

However, at the same time Rooney waded the football into the penalty area, the goalkeeper Lehmann of the German team decisively abandoned the goal and attacked. When Rooney wanted to shoot, he found that Lehmann had already rushed to his side. up.

***********
The German commentator was naturally full of praise for Lehmann, whether it was Lehmann's vigorous throwing of the ball to launch a quick counterattack just now, or this decisive attack, they all performed well.

On the England side, there was a lot of wailing. Just now Podolski was also single-handedly. James’ hesitation allowed the German to score. In a blink of an eye, England also got a single-handed chance. out.

This contrast is even more depressing.

The German fans gave Lehmann applause and cheers.

On the TV, Podolski's goal just now and England's single-handed goal were also repeatedly played.

A glimmer of gloom floated over the minds of the England fans. Thinking of the previous major games, England had been injured when they met Germany. They began to have a bad feeling about the result of today's game...
