1083 The wind meets the thunder, who is the only one who knows the long night?(1/2)
St. Petersburg Stadium.
"Good evening for everyone, everyone. This is the St. Petersburg Stadium in Russia. The 2021-2022 European Football Champions League has finally arrived at the final of the world-renowned final!
The two teams that reached the Champions League final this season are the defending champion Red Devils Manchester United from the Premier League, and the French Ligue 1 overlord Paris Saint-Germain.
Both teams have won the local league championship. Manchester United is expected to be the treble champion today. If Paris Saint-Germain wins the cup, it will become the second Ligue 1 Champions League champion and will also be the four-champion champion.
If we only look at the background of the two teams and their past record in the Champions League, Manchester United may have an overwhelming advantage!
But if you look at the starting lineup of the two teams, then this will undoubtedly be a fairly good showdown.
If some viewers had not paid attention to European football in the past few years and suddenly watched this game today, they would have been very surprised.
Ronaldo is still at Manchester United.
C Ronaldo is also teammates with Varane.
Ye Yifeng and Varane are also teammates.
Messi's teammate is still Neymar.
What’s even more strange is that Messi and Ramos actually became teammates!
And now Ronaldo and Ramos will be in the position of opposing each other.
Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.
Manchester United starts 433.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Trees.
Midfielder: Pogba, B Fee, Fred.
Forwards: Rashford, Ye Yifeng, Ronaldo.
Paris Saint-Germain's starter was also 433.
Goalkeeper: Donaruma.
Defenders: Ashraf Hakimi, Ramos, Marginhos, Nuno Mendes.
Midfielder: Paredes, Gayer, Verati.
Forwards: Messi, Mbappe, Neymar.
Although the stars gathered in this game, if the best European football team was selected in the past decade, at least half of the starting players of the two teams in this game can lock in at least half of the quota, and stars like Pogba, B Fee, Veratti, etc. appear extremely sad under the light of stars such as C Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi, Ye Yifeng, and Ramos.
Among these stars, Ye Yifeng, the number one super giant in football, is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
He is pursuing his fifth Champions League trophy in his career.
At the same time, his performance this season is also widely regarded by European media as the best in his career.
In other words, he is at a new peak.
If you only look at the data, his goal efficiency is no higher than when he was at the craziest time in Atletico Madrid.
But the reason why Ye Yifeng has become stronger in the eyes of many football critics is that he is more mature and comprehensive.
When Manchester United is in an embarrassing situation where there are no one available for the camp, Ye Yifeng can appear in any position except the goalkeeper and play a core role.
Fleet Street has counted that he has served in the team this season in eight different positions.
Central defender, fullback, back midfielder, central forward, front midfielder, two wingers, center forward.
The comprehensive ability is rare in history!
Because of this, his evaluation among all the ball critics has risen to a new level.
He redefined the abilities and functions of superstars!
Judging from the cards, Manchester United may not be able to beat Paris Saint-Germain today.
But Red Devils fans must be full of confidence in their team because they have Ye Yifeng!
Well, the highly anticipated Champions League final is about to kick off, let us enjoy this championship battle staged at the top of Europe!”
Paris Saint-Germain took the lead in kick-off.
Messi gently transferred the ball to Mbappe, who passed the ball back, and then the Paris Saint-Germain trident went to the front court.
Manchester United's forward actively counterattacked and intercepted in the midfield.
Although Messi is over 35 years old, he is still the focus of Manchester United's defense line.
Messi and Ronaldo, who are entering their twilight years, are receiving the same treatment.
In the early years, from basketball critics to fans fighting each other, who is the best contemporary?
Now, we are hacking each other and who is the cancer of the team.
But when it is on the court, which team dares to relax their defense?
Do you really treat them as ordinary players?
It is undeniable that the strength of the two of them has declined a lot, but the lower limit of their strength is still very high!
Verati and Nuno Mendes cooperated from the left side of the backcourt and sent the ball to the left side of the frontcourt.
After Neymar took the ball, he quickly dribbled forward.
At this moment, no one has discussed when Neymar will become the benchmark of the times. He has entered the thirty years old, a few months older than Ye Yifeng.
Living, Neymar was unable to live out the prestige of his predecessors, but he was still full of Brazilian players' free and easy styles.
He is a well-deserved leader in Ligue 1, and he seems not even to be the top three in this final.
But this will help him perform more, and the pressure will not be so great.
While advancing, the bicycle changed direction and went to the outside line to pass Pogba. Facing Dalot's frontal blockade, he chose to score the ball, and his skills were pleasing to the eye.
In terms of football skills alone, Neymar is the best in today's final.
No other players can show their skills as naturally as he does.
When he continued to dribble and kill to the left rib of the penalty area, Maguire's interception made him dial the ball and change direction to the bottom line again, and then decisively turned the ball back into the triangle.
Mbappe followed up in the middle and restrained it. Messi cut inside from the right and entered the penalty area in the middle to receive Neymar's pass. He kept shooting directly and shot the ball into the upper left corner of the goal.
Boss Mei has never been good at his strength, but this time his trick shot was blocked by Fred, who was filling up with his body.
Paris Saint-Germain fans are extremely excited.
It seems that Manchester United can't stop their offensive at all.
In this final where stars gather, there is no doubt that the most pressure on the two teams is the defense line.
Everyone looks like they have encountered a king!
After Paris Saint-Germain took a tactical corner kick, the Trident was on the periphery and did not go deep into the penalty area. When Nuno Mendes made a cross from the side, the Trident ran to the penalty area and attacked the area behind the defense line.
As a result, the ball was first grabbed by De Gea.
De Gea immediately threw the ball with his hand to instigate a fast break.
Ronaldo, who was running quickly along the left side, responded and quickly passed the ball diagonally in the middle.
Ye Yifeng quickly followed up and stopped and wading forward to advance the offensive.
When encountering Paredes, he stepped on his right foot and pulled the ball with his left foot, and changed his direction to break through on the right.
Before Paredes could stretch his legs, he was greatly changed by Ye Yifeng.
When Ye Yifeng, who was dribbling on the wing, was about to meet Nuno Mendes, he passed the ball diagonally to the front right.
Rashford ran around the outside and played a deep advantage, almost leaving Paris Saint-Germain's defense behind. Before the football was about to roll out of the sideline, he dunked the ball back to the inside and stepped into the dangerous area of the offensive!
Continue to move forward and quickly dribbled, Rashford sent a cross from the edge of the penalty area.
The football rolled towards the left rib area just now.
C Ronaldo rushed up and slammed the ball, and changed direction to pull the distance from Ashraf Hakimi. Then when he took a kick, Marginhos blocked him.
The old super giant pivoted the ball and cut it across again and barely shot.
Ramos, who was running back to the position, directly put the shovel in!
C The football shot by Ronaldo happened to be blocked by Ramos's right leg that was used to shovel and then refracted and flew out of the bottom line!
The Red Devils fans immediately applauded after a burst of regret.
But after recovering, the fans of both teams felt uncomfortable.
The feeling of climax after the opening is not that one team is happy, and when one side is happy, the other side will suffer.
Manchester United's corner kick attack was suspended into the middle of the penalty area. Ye Yifeng fought for the football landing point, but the header was relatively barely enough, and the football was above the crossbar.
In the 4th minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain organized an offensive and passed the ball to the right.
Boss Mei was intercepted by BF when he was pushing the ball with his left foot, and he moved the ball with one click and one click to complete the breakthrough. When he was pushing forward, he was attacked by Pogba and Fred.
He accurately sent the ball from between the two to the middle of the penalty area.
