381、The Strongest Spear and Shield

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

From a distance, the stadium looks like a huge rubber boat, with many airbag-like structures outside the white ellipse, which not only looks modern but also gives people a strong visual impact.

The Champions League final is the prime time of the weekend evening. When night falls, three types of lights of red, black and white are sprayed from these airbags, and they slowly change between different colors. The colored beams will be illuminated on the stadium shell, forming the stadium into a huge luminous body.

The total capacity of the stadium stands is close to 70,000, but due to safety factors, only 63,000 seats were 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 home team Bayern Munich, and the blue one is Chelsea. Two oceans of different colors are surging restlessly in their respective areas across the shallow trench.

In this game, Bayern did not have any home advantage, because like Chelsea, they can only sell more than 17,000 tickets to the outside world - the remaining big heads were sold to neutral fans through UEFA channels.

As the TV station with the most viewers, CCTV's live broadcast team also obtained an exclusive private room. In addition to Duan Yixuan and Tao Wei who had worked in Munich for a month, two other commentators also joined their team.

Although the Bundesliga is not as prosperous as the Premier League and not as popular as La Liga, most of their game time is in China's prime time. In addition, the broadcast fee is much cheaper than that of the Premier League and La Liga, CCTV is more willing to play, so it has also cultivated a large number of enthusiastic viewers. As the overlord of the Bundesliga, Bayern does not need to worry about the fans' problems.

And what about Chelsea?

As Abram spent a lot of money, the stars were quickly recruited by him. Mourinho, Benitez, Ancelotti and other famous coaches moved into the Blue Bridge one after another. The Blues have long become a giant team that competes with Manchester United and Arsenal. Although they are not as far-reaching as the Red Devils and the Gunners, they also have a large number of fans of their own.

Along with the melodious theme song of the UEFA Champions League, the commentators also started their own work.

"Bayern vs. Chelsea, this should be a confrontation between spears and shields, right?"

He Wei, who had just arrived in Munich two days ago, said while sorting out his commentary:

"From the number of goals, Bayern is undoubtedly the most offensive team this season, scoring more than 300 goals throughout the season, almost three times that of Chelsea...

On the other hand, although Chelsea struggled in the Premier League and finally only qualified for the UEFA Cup, they put their defense to the extreme in the Champions League, especially the two-round double-killing Barcelona, ​​which was the pinnacle of their defensive counterattack! Two mentors, do you think today's game is stronger? Or is the spear sharper?"

"Hehe," Zhang Lu, an older guest, laughed without saying a word. "In such a major game in the Champions League final, both sides will undoubtedly attach great importance to it. The first thing they have to do is to consolidate their defense. With Barcelona's sharp offense, they failed to defeat Chelsea. I think Chelsea will at least not be at a disadvantage."

Although I have been worried about Bayern before, now some people praise Bayern's opponent, Tao Wei immediately refused:

"I don't quite agree with Zhang Zhi's words. If only the defense is concerned, Bayern Munich will perform well. Heinx is unmatched in the defense. Whether it is Ram, Badstuber, Boateng, Alaba, or Long Shute in the midfield, Schweinsteiger, Gustavo, their defensive ability..."

He suddenly stopped.

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

Duan Yixuan took over the topic:

"It's a bit regrettable that both Bayern and Chelsea have many main players who are unable to appear in the starting lineup due to injuries or suspensions, and both sides have activated many substitutes.

In this regard, Contento, Timoshchuk, Kroos and Muller all entered the starting lineup, while Chelsea had Bosingwa, Louis, Kalu and Bertrand on the bench. Both sides had obvious shortcomings, and perhaps this would make the pace of the game more rapid..."

What he means:

There are obvious loopholes in both sides' defenses, 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 retreat from the first second after the opening. They looked at the African Warcraft Drogba and the Blues' magic lamp Lampard in their hands, but they did not attack Bayern's air-flowing defense line...

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

Sorry, this data is wrong. Bayern's 9 goals were blocked by the defender only once, and the other 8 times were all flying out of the goal frame. Cech did not touch the ball at all...

It was not until the 33rd minute that Cech made his first effective save: Robben's volley on the penalty area line was easily held in his arms, and then Chelsea launched a fast attack.

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

The subsequent game continued the situation in the first thirty minutes:

Bayern continues to control the ball and continues to attack.

"Robben cuts inward and shoots! Hit the post!"

"Muller's shot! Cech blocks it!"

"Ribary attacked the penalty area and suddenly shot a cold arrow! A slight difference!"

"Kross scored a free kick! He missed the post!"

"Gomez! He shook Cahill away! He pulled his feet and shot near the penalty spot! He beat and beat, and he shot away!"

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

Chelsea players lined up two neat defense lines inside and outside the penalty area, admiring Bayern Munich's performance of coming in a fierce manner but not even hitting the goal...

After the first half, Bayern had already contributed 15 shots, but Chelsea had only two shots, and the ball possession rate was 65 to 35. Except for the heading success rate, all Chelsea's data were completely suppressed by Bayern...

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

Four defenders, Bosingwa, Cahill, Louis, Kerr, and goalkeeper Cech have become insurmountable walls for Bayern players!

Entering the second half, Bayern still maintained strong firepower and Chelsea could hardly cross the half.

As Chelsea's main center, Drogba of Warcraft's only shot... he was more than 40 meters away from Neuer, which shows their embarrassment on the offensive line.

Chelsea had no strength to attack, and Bayern players pressed forward with greater confidence. Schweinsteiger and Kroos in the midfield frequently stepped forward to participate in the attack, leaving a large area of ​​empty positions.

If Chelsea had a Long Shute who relied on speed to make a living, he could slip Bayern players into dogs in this vast space every minute!

But there is no such player in Chelsea's lineup. The majestic and mighty Drogba is certainly not a speed striker. The short Mata is better at organizing offense. Mikel, who was once known as comparable to Messi, has become a defensive defender. He and the captain Lampard on the field have formed an iron gate on the penalty area. The young substitute Bertrand has no idea what he is doing. He has almost become a full-back, but he is already out of breath when dealing with Robben's crazy cut inwards. Where can I have time to consider counterattack?

So Bayern has been attacking, and Chelsea's players are completely rooted in their half. Except for the only few set-piece opportunities, the defenders are too lazy to even come out of the penalty area...

Time passed by Bayern Munich's crazy attack and shooting bit by bit, and this one-sided Champions League final came to the 80th minute.
Chapter completed!
