I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

The National Stadium of Wales is not a professional football stadium, but a national main stadium mainly used for rugby union events and international rugby events. It was once the largest stadium in the UK, with a capacity of 74,500 spectators and a retractable roof. The architectural style of the stadium is grand, and the seats after expansion can even reach 82,000. It is a five-star football stadium of UEFA.

Although the capacity of the stadium is as high as 74,500, only about 70,000 people are actually allowed to enter. According to the ticket allocation plan, 41,500 of the tickets will be distributed to ordinary fans, and the two clubs that have successfully entered the Champions League final can each get 18,000 tickets, and the remaining 5,500 tickets will be distributed through UEFA. The official website sells to fans from all over the world. As for the other nearly 30,000 tickets, they were allocated to major sponsors by UEFA.

Of course, all the tickets basically ended up in the hands of fans from both sides around the world. After all, very few non-Manchester United and Real Madrid fans came to watch the game.

Judging from the size of the stands, the two teams are roughly the same.

When the fans began to enter the stadium in large numbers, both teams completed their pre-match warm-ups and returned to the locker room to prepare for the game. At the scene, the pre-match cultural performance began.

At 7:40 in the evening, players from both sides began to enter the stadium.

Like the encounter a year ago, Real Madrid still wore white jerseys, while Manchester United faced off in red.

The referee is whistler Blüch from Germany, and the entire referee team is German.

………………

In a distant country, the fans who stayed up all night watching the game heard the familiar commentary voice, because Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu, who are very familiar with everyone, were in charge of commentating the game.

"The players on both sides are ready to play under the leadership of their respective captains. The captain of Manchester United is the familiar Rooney, and the captain of Real Madrid is also familiar to everyone, Ramos!"

"Both teams are the hottest teams in the world today, and they are all star-studded. Their starting XI are all well-known stars, and even the benches are full of powerful stars. Superstars cannot enter the squad for the competition, such as Harry Kane, Martial, Smalling on the Manchester United side, and James Rodriguez, Vazquez, Pepe on the Real Madrid side..."

...

The broadcast camera was cast on the entrance of the channel, and the players on both sides were preparing to play. There are also some players who are greeting each other, such as De Gea, Mata and Ramos, Isco, and Ronaldo and Rooney...

Although you will have to turn your back on your back in the game later,

But off the court, they are still on good terms with each other.

Don't look at Ronaldo shouting fiercely before the game, as if he wanted to swallow Rooney and Manchester United in one gulp, but when we really met, the Portuguese was quite harmonious and was extremely polite to Rooney.

"The pre-match opening act is over and the fans seem to be in high spirits."

"The live broadcast camera switched to the player channel. We can see that the players of both teams are already lined up at the channel entrance, ready to play at any time, and the camera is aimed at tonight's referee, Blüch from Germany."

At this time, the substitute players and coaching staff members of both sides also came up from behind. They will go out of the channel first to the bench.

Ronaldo, who was hugging Rooney, let go of Rooney and greeted Ye Su. Ye Su responded and left with Carrick and others.

After Ye Su and the others left, Zidane also appeared. He also greeted Kante at Manchester United.

………………

After the coaching staff and substitute players of both sides passed through the passage, the referee Blüch greeted the players of both sides and began to line up to play.

When we came to the center of the stadium, the theatrical performance was over, and the theme song of the Champions League was played on the spot. After the two sides shook hands, the game will start soon.

Zhan Jun began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides in this game.

"Manchester United are playing in a 433 formation. The starting goalkeeper is No. 1 De Gea, and the back four are No. 3 Luke Shaw, No. 5 Maguire, No. 6 Van Dijk, No. 2 Kyle Walker, and three defenders. Midfield No. 19 Kanter, No. 17 De Bruyne and No. 8 Bruno Fernandez, the striker trident is No. 11 Vardy, No. 14 Ibrahimovic and No. 10 Captain Rooney."

"Real Madrid also has a position of 433, goalkeeper No. 1 Navas, four defenders No. 12 Marcelo, No. 4 Ramos, No. 5 Varane and No. 2 Carvajal, and the three midfielders are No. 19 Modri Qi, No. 14 Casemiro and No. 8 Kroos, the three forwards are No. 7 Cristiano Ronaldo, No. 9 Benzema and No. 22 Isco."

At this time, the publicity ambassador for the current Champions League final, Manchester United star Ian Rush came out of the tunnel holding the Champions League trophy.

On this day, the Manchester United star is obviously not too happy, and his face is very serious.

In the years when Ian Rush played for Manchester United, it was the years when the Red Army ruled Europe. During his time at Manchester United, the Welsh striker helped the Reds to five league titles in ten years, including a three-peat, as well as two Champions League titles.

However, with the opening of the Premier League era, Manchester United fell into a long-term loneliness. Ian Rush also chose to leave in his 15th year playing for Manchester United.

Ian Rush, who left Manchester United, also fell into a trough in his career. Because of his age and state, he failed to perform well whether he was playing for Leeds United or Newcastle.

And his beloved Manchester United has been sinking until now. Although he won the Champions League during the period, he has not been able to taste the taste of the league championship for 27 years.

And just today, he is very likely to witness his rival win the Champions League trophy at his home court, thus achieving a comprehensive surpassing of Manchester United in the historical status of English football.

This made him feel very complicated.

………………

When the two teams lined up and stood in the two halves of the field, Manchester United's Ibrahimovic stood in the middle circle and prepared to kick off. This is the chance that Manchester United won when they guessed the side just now.

In the locker room before the game, the Manchester United players formed a consensus, that is, to rush at the beginning of the game.

This is a consistent characteristic of the English team. They must start with momentum and bluff their opponents. This trick may not seem new, but it actually works.

For example, in the Champions League final last season, Manchester United scored a goal in the 28th second of the game through the opening attack, creating the record for the fastest goal in the Champions League final.

According to the new kick-off rules, now the kick-off team only needs one person to stand at the kick-off point to kick-off.

Ibrahimovic is ready to serve, Rooney and Vardy are standing on both sides of the center circle near the touchline, and Mata is standing on the top of the center circle near the Manchester United half, so that the ball can be returned as soon as possible to avoid Open Real Madrid's press.

With the whistle of the referee Brych, Ibrahimovic kicked the ball to Mata, and the Spaniard passed back directly.

Sure enough, Real Madrid rushed up quickly and rushed directly towards the hinterland of Manchester United.

De Bruyne stopped the ball, adjusted quickly, passed it to Maguire, and then distributed it to the left.

Vardy was still standing on the left side near the center line at this time. After receiving a pass from Maguire, Ronaldo and Modric both pressed towards him at the same time. He had to choose to pass back to Luke Shaw .

Real Madrid's frontcourt players immediately pushed towards the left back of England. Luke Shaw immediately picked up a pass back to the middle of the midfield and gave it to De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder gave Maguire a header. .

But at this moment, Benzema actively stepped forward to press, Maguire made a mistake in his busy schedule, and the ball was stabbed by Benzema, but fortunately the ball did not leave Manchester United's control, Luke Shaw kicked back to the penalty area from a long distance , sent the ball back to De Gea's feet.

After the Spanish goalkeeper stopped the ball with his foot at the front of the small penalty area, he slowly moved forward and passed the ball to Kyle Walker on the right before Isco.

Kyle Walker drove straight forward with a big foot and passed directly behind Modric.

Mata receives the ball and Rooney drops back from the front and raises his hand for the ball. Stopping the ball, turning around, Rooney started with the ball, and rushed diagonally towards the penalty area.

But as soon as he started, Casemiro stepped decisively and missed the ball, but tripped Rooney.

The referee Blüch decisively blew his whistle and gave Manchester United a chance to set the ball in the front court, but he did not draw the card.

The Manchester United fans booed immediately.

………………

This position happens to be the most comfortable angle for Rooney, but it is about 32 meters away from the goal, which is a bit far.

After Rooney put the ball away, he slowly pushed it back. Real Madrid is also on the verge of a formidable enemy, Zidane even rushed to the sidelines and directed the players to deploy defenses.

Everyone is very nervous, obviously worried about Rooney's direct free kick.

In the past two or three years, Rooney has been good at scoring direct free kicks.

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

Hearing Blüsch's whistle, Rooney took a deep breath and rushed forward quickly. After standing still with his left foot, he directly hit a curve ball with his right foot.

An obvious muffled sound was heard at the scene, and the ball was shot out quickly, passing over the head of the wall inside the penalty area, falling rapidly, with a strong rotation, and flew to the left side of the goal.

Navas also reacted extremely quickly, flying to make a save, and extending his right hand as much as possible. But when he felt the ball approaching, he found that the ball path in mid-air had an obvious drop, which immediately made him pale with shock!

Navas thought he had been defeated, but unexpectedly, there was another muffled sound next to his ear. With a bang, the ball hit the left post of the goal hard and bounced back to the penalty area.

In an instant, there was a burst of exclamation of relief.

The Manchester United players ambushing in the penalty area also rushed forward. Ibrahimovic and Vardy both rushed towards the ball. In the end, Vardy took the first step to hit the goal, but Ramos was faster and blocked Vardy's shot with his foot. bottom line.

corner kick!
