Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man.

Before the game, Zidane said for the first time that he was not as good as Ronaldo. The reason he gave was: "He can always stop the ball and then score."

([Zidane: If I were the same generation as Cristiano Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo would still be stronger).

In this game, Ronaldo's two "catches and hits" in the penalty area proved that Zidane was right. In terms of shooting, Ronaldo has stepped from the palace level to the historical level.

The reason why I single out Ronaldo's shooting is because to be fair, he and Benzema (including the opposite Higuain) did not have enough impact on the progress of the game.

The biggest attraction in terms of formation in this game is naturally the choice between Bell and Isco.

Whoever starts between the two has advantages and disadvantages for each other. No matter who Zidane chooses to start, the final result of the game will prove whether Zidane's choice is correct. But regardless of the result of the game, the connection between Isco, Kroos, and Modric ensures that when Real Madrid wants to control the ball, they are the undisputed team that can control the ball best.

When it comes to chemical reactions and maximizing effectiveness between players, and how to maximize combat effectiveness with a limited squad, you can look at Juventus in the first half. It is basically the best in world football.

Specifically, it can be seen clearly from the beginning of the game that Juventus does not have the so-called 3 defenders in the starting lineup, and the switching between 5 defenders is a typical 442. Alex Sandro plays left back, and Barzalila plays right back. , and Alves was pushed to play in right midfield.

Therefore, the two wings of Juventus' midfield, Alves on the right and Mandzukic on the left, are not orthodox midfielders. Instead, they can be regarded as a full-back pushing up, a forward pulling down, and Di playing in the middle. Bala, a sloping avant-garde line.

There is no secret. This position is the norm for Juventus this season. Zidane must have studied it thousands of times. But at the beginning of the first half, at least for the first 10 minutes, Juventus still had the advantage. One of Allegri's tactical innovations at Juventus can be said to be the "positioning the midfielder behind" and then "positioning it behind" created by Ancelotti.

Although in a certain sense, Pjanic is the core of Juventus' midfield, his task is only to receive the ball from the backcourt in the midfield position, pass it forward, or use his technical ability to participate in building a passing chain. . The function of determining the direction of the attack has partly been transferred to the back line.

A linked reaction is that when the back line composed of Chiellini, Bonucci, and Barzagli, plus the midfielder of Pjanic and Khedira determine the direction of the attack, the frontcourt players become further functional.

Take this game as an example. Manju's style of play on the left wing is to receive the ball from the back (especially the high ball) as an offensive bridgehead, and then hand the ball to Sandro who comes in behind or Dybala next to him.

Alves on the right can be used as a winger in advance and can help Barzagli in defense when the situation is anxious. (It is similar to Guardiola's full-back as a midfielder. Because in the context of high division of labor among various positions in modern football, if you want to have tactical innovation, the first person who can operate is the full-back).

Juventus' irregular positioning maximized effectiveness and chemistry in the first half. But when Real Madrid gradually took the advantage in the second half (I think there are two reasons for this change of situation, one is that Juventus' physical strength declined, after all, Juventus ran a total of eight more kilometers in the first half, and the second is that Isco got the ball more), Juventus couldn't get the ball in the midfield, and Manju and Higuain were separated.

The disadvantages of this formation are also reflected. That is to say, although Juventus' organizational functions have been moved back, the frontcourt, Manju and Alves are not capable of breaking through and directly attacking from the wing. As a result, if Juventus is in a disadvantageous situation and unable to control the ball, the personal adaptability of the frontcourt attacking players will be reduced. If it is not enough to meet the requirements, it will be more difficult for Juventus to reverse the situation.

Juventus is under the leadership of master tactician Allegri (I think there is no doubt in saying this now), the tactical chain has changed and interlocked, and as long as one of the links is broken, such as Juventus' ability to control the ball and control the situation in the midfield If they lose to the Real Madrid midfield, then the frontcourt players will not be able to provide support from behind and forward, and their personal ability to break the game will be low, which will create a trap and make it even more impossible to reverse.

When watching the second half of this game, I suddenly thought of the first game of the Finals between the Cavaliers and Warriors. In terms of team configuration and chemical reaction, the Cavaliers have reached the best level that this team can achieve after being baptized and tempered throughout the playoffs. There is nothing wrong with just picking up this starting lineup and the second lineup, but when the opponent is a level higher than you in terms of physical strength, there is nothing you can do (of course, it is only the first game of the NBA Finals, and the Cavaliers will still have a chance later. But what I mean is that this Juventus is like the Cavaliers, with good chemical reaction, but the upper limit is visible and tangible. On the opposite side, I personally have no way to predict what the Warriors/Real Madrid at full strength will look like).

Another thing is that when Juventus was trailing 1-3, they wanted to adjust, but at this time the only person sitting on the bench who could change the situation was Cuadrado (he did change the situation later).

As for Real Madrid, there are Morata, Bale and Asensio on the bench. After Cuadrado, the only backhand player, received a red card (I objected to the penalty of this ball), Marchisio and Lemina had limited impact on the scene.

Dybala's demise represents the death of the only person in the Juventus frontcourt who has the ability to change the situation.

This is the first time since the Champions League was restructured that a team has defended its title.

As far as Real Madrid is concerned, in fact, regardless of market effects, in addition to Melo, the top players in world football in their prime years, no matter who they buy, may not necessarily include Bale, Isco, etc. in the team. Morata and Ronaldo are good. But taking into account Real Madrid's love for tossing, the possibility of replacing Bale, Morata, and Ronaldo with popular players (such as Mbappe) cannot be ruled out.

Real Madrid have to win every title, and Juventus need to prove their dominance in Italian football.

This is not alarmist. The last time a Serie A team won the Champions League was seven years ago.

That year, Inter Milan defeated German double champions Bayern Munich 2-0, who also wanted to win the Triple Crown, becoming the Champions League champion and the first Italian Triple Crown team in history.

That was the last golden era of Serie A. They had the world's top central defender Thiago Silva and Europe's number one midfielder Sneijder. The Premier League and La Liga could not poach talents from Serie A unscrupulously.

Seven years later this year, Serie A has long lost its glory.

Before the start of this Champions League final, Juventus positioned themselves as a challenger and their remarks were very low-key.

In a regular press conference, Allegri talked about confidence and courage, because this is also what Juventus lacks. Real Madrid was the last Champions League champion and had won 14 of the previous 11 Champions League finals, while Juventus had been runner-up in 8 out of 6 Champions League finals.

Real Madrid before the game was completely different from Juventus. They regarded themselves as defenders and their posture was relatively high. Vanella, who has just turned 24, admitted that the runner-up is worthless and Bell hopes to win the championship at home.

Head coach Zidane came to post a photo show. Kalembe, Raul, Carlos, Figo, Zidane, Mijatovic, Salgado and Seedorf in the picture have all played for Real Madrid and won a total of 20 Champions League titles.

The 39-year-old Gianluigi Buffon saved Zidane's header, and this may be his last Champions League final. He has already experienced two Champions League defeats.
