Chapter 364 The Strongest Spear and Shield

The Allianz Arena in Munich is one of the few five-star arenas in Europe.

From a distance, the stadium looks like a huge rubber boat. The white ellipsoid is surrounded by many airbag-like structures, which is full of modernity and has a strong visual impact.

The UEFA Champions League final is at the prime time of the weekend evening. When night falls, these airbags emit three kinds of lights, red, black and white, and slowly switch between different colors. The colored beams will be irradiated on the outer shell of the stadium. The stadium is constructed as a huge luminous body.

The total capacity of the stands of the stadium is close to [-], but due to safety reasons, only [-] seats have been sold to the outside world. But looking around, the Allianz Stadium has been divided into two distinct parts by red and blue.

The red one is the home team Bayern Munich, and the blue one is Chelsea. Two seas of different colors are separated by a shallow trench, surging restlessly in their respective areas.

In this game, Bayern did not have any home court advantage, because they, like Chelsea, could only sell more than 7000 tickets to the outside world-the remaining bulk were sold to neutral fans through UEFA channels.

As the TV station with the most viewers, CCTV's live broadcast team also got an exclusive box. In addition to Duan Yixuan and Tao Wei who have been working in Munich for a month, two other commentators also joined their team.

Although the Bundesliga is not as flourishing as the Premier League, nor as star-studded as La Liga, most of their games are played during prime time in China, and the broadcast fee is much cheaper than the Premier League and La Liga, so CCTV is more willing to broadcast, so It has also cultivated a large number of enthusiastic audiences. As the overlord of the Bundesliga, Bayern does not need to worry about fans.

And what about Chelsea?
As Abramovich burned a lot of money, stars were quickly recruited by him. Famous coaches such as Mourinho, Benitez, and Ancelotti successively moved to the Blue Bridge. The Blues have already become rivals to Manchester United and Arsenal. Although they are not as far-reaching as the Red Devils and Gunners, they also have a large number of fans of their own.

Accompanied by the melodious theme song of the UEFA Champions League, the commentators also started their work.

"Bayern vs. Chelsea, this should be a clash of spears and shields, right?"

He Wei, who just arrived in Munich two days ago, said while sorting out his commentary:
"In terms of the number of goals scored, Bayern is undoubtedly the team with the most offensive firepower this season, scoring more than 300 goals throughout the season, almost three times that of Chelsea...

On the other hand, Chelsea, although they struggled in the Premier League and finally only qualified for the Europa League, they played their defense to the extreme in the Champions League, especially in the two-round double-kill Barcelona game, which was their defense and counterattack. peak!Two guides, do you think the shield is stronger in today's game?Or is the spear sharper? "

"Hey," the older guest Zhang Lu smiled first, "In such an important match as the Champions League final, both sides will undoubtedly attach great importance to it. The first thing they need to do is to stabilize their defense. Barcelona is so sharp. Attack, failed to beat Chelsea, I don't think Chelsea will at least not fall into the disadvantage."

Although he had been worried about Bayern before, but now someone praised Bayern's opponent, Tao Wei immediately refused:

"I don't quite agree with Zhang Zhi's words. If we only talk about defense, Bayern Munich also performed well. Heynckes' defensive training is unparalleled, whether it is Lahm, Badstuber, Boateng, Alaba, or the midfielder Longshut, Schweinsteiger, Gustavo, their defensive ability..."

He stopped suddenly.

Because he knows better than anyone else that among these seven people, four of them cannot appear...

Duan Yixuan took over the topic:

"It is a pity that, whether it is Bayern or Chelsea, there are many main players who cannot appear in the starting lineup due to injuries or suspensions, and both sides have used many substitute players.

For Bayern, Contento, Tymoshchuk, Kroos and Müller have all entered the starting lineup, while Chelsea have Bosingwa, Luiz, Kalou and Bertrand as substitutes. Both sides have obvious shortcomings , maybe this will make the rhythm of the game more lively..."

He means:

There are obvious holes in the defense of both sides, so there may be more goals in the game...
-
But the facts have proved that Duan Yixuan is definitely not a prophet.

Chelsea chose to hide and defend from the first second after the opening. They looked at the African monster Drogba and the blue lamp Lampard in their hands, but they insisted on not attacking Bayern's airy defense...

The ball was completely controlled by Bayern. They blasted 9 shots in half an hour, but they were resolved one by one by the defender and Petr Cech without exception.

I'm sorry, this statistic is wrong. Only one of Bayern's 9 goals was blocked by a defender. The remaining 8 times all flew out of the goal frame. Petr Cech didn't touch the ball at all...

It wasn't until the 33rd minute that Cech made his first effective save: Arjen Robben's volley from the penalty area line was easily embraced by him, and then Chelsea launched a fast break.

The result of this fast break turned into a free kick. Mata directly kicked the goal high from 22 meters away from the goal, breaking the embarrassing record of 0 shots for Chelsea.

The subsequent game continued the situation of the first three 10 minutes:

Bayern continued to hold the ball and continued to form an attacking trend.

"Roben cuts in! Hit the post!"

"Müller made a follow-up shot! Cech blocked it!"

"Franck Ribery hits the penalty area and shoots a cold arrow! It's a hair's breadth!"

"Kroos free-kick! Wide of the post!"

"Gomez! He swayed Cahill! He shot near the penalty spot! Hit, hit, fly!"

Both German and Chinese commentators are using such commentary to describe such a game.

Chelsea's players lined up two neat lines of defense inside and outside the penalty area, admiring Bayern Munich's menacing performance, but they couldn't even hit the goal...

When the first half of the game ended, Bayern had contributed 15 shots, while Chelsea had only 2 shots, and the ball possession rate was 65% to 35%. Except for the success rate of headers, all Chelsea's statistics were comprehensively scored by Bayern. suppress……

Bayern's offensive players seem to be able to easily dribble the ball into Chelsea's penalty area every time, but when they enter the penalty area, they realize that this is a bottomless swamp!

The four defenders Bosingwa, Cahill, Louis, Cole, plus the goalkeeper Petr Cech have become an insurmountable iron wall for Bayern players!
Entering the second half, Bayern still maintained a strong firepower pressure, and Chelsea had almost no way to cross the half.

As Chelsea's Zhengyin center forward, Drogba's only shot ... was more than 40 meters away from Neuer, which shows their embarrassing situation on the offensive line.

Chelsea didn't have the strength to attack at all, and Bayern's players were more confident in pressing forward. Schweinsteiger and Kroos in the midfield frequently advanced to participate in the attack, leaving a large open area.

If Chelsea has a Long Shute who relies on speed to eat, he can sneak Bayern players into dogs in this large space every minute!
But there is no such player in Chelsea's lineup. The majestic Drogba is certainly not a speed forward, and the short Mata is better at organizing offense. Mikel, the African genius who was once known as comparable to Messi, has completed Turned into a defensive defender, he blocked the penalty area line with the captain Lampard and formed an iron gate. The young substitute Bertrand had no idea what he was doing. He almost became a The full-backs are already out of breath just to deal with Robben's crazy inside cuts, how can they have time to think about counterattacks?

So Bayern kept attacking, and Chelsea's players were completely rooted in their own half. Except for the few set-piece opportunities, those defenders didn't even bother to come out of the penalty area...

Time was ticking away in Bayern Munich's frenzied attack and shooting, and the one-sided Champions League final came to the 80th minute.

There are still 10 minutes until the end of regular time.
