Chapter 242 Intermission of the final

Robben's second missed single shot was the last threatening attack in the first half.

The game was a little calmer, until the referee Rizzoli blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and neither side had any good chances.

In the end, both sides entered the intermission with a score of 0:0.

"Huh..." He Ping breathed a sigh of relief in the commentary seat. "This first half is really too intense. This may be the hottest and intense first half of the Champions League final I have ever seen. Both sides have no reservations at all and are all in the attack. Such a game looks really exciting, but it is also nervous enough..."

"The two teams are very familiar with each other. After all, they have been entangled in the league for a long time. It is this familiarity that allows them to enter this extremely high-speed offensive and defensive transition from the first minute of the game without any temptation. Anyway, thanks to the two teams for giving us such a wonderful first half of the final!" Marcel Leif also praised the performance of the two teams.

There has always been a saying that "the nameless finals have been around since ancient times", which means that there are few games that can become classics in such an important final. On the contrary, most finals are difficult to be called exciting, and they can be regarded as representatives of "dollar" and "boring".

Because in such an important game as the final, both sides will make fewer mistakes as the first task, try not to make mistakes, and waiting for the opponent to make mistakes is the guideline for many teams to play in the finals.

Under such a thought, many teams will choose defensive tactics and play carefully and conservatively.

No one dares to attack rashly.

In such a situation, how could there be a good game?

Even if there is a defensive counterattack, it is worthy of the audience, let alone such a big-picture offensive battle.

Many finals often end up in penalty shootouts, which is related to this.

Although the penalty kick final is also exciting and exciting, full of endless unknowns and uncertainties. However, before the penalty kick final comes, the audience has to endure a dull and boring game for 120 minutes, which is not a good enjoyment.

For example, in the 1994 World Cup final, Brazil and Italy played a boring game in the scorching afternoon sun and hot weather in the United States. At that time, Brazil was considered the ugliest Brazilian team in the world, without the charm of samba football, only defense and counterattack. Italy was synonymous with defensive football.

It's a hell for these two teams to get together and be able to shoot good games.

The 1994 World Cup final is a microcosm of all major events.

Very few finals are against offensive battles.

Today's Champions League final was a refreshing attack from the first minute of the game. The audience was excited and the commentators exclaimed. Therefore, Marcel Leif was shocked and surprised many viewers in this game.

"...This first half can be recorded in history! If there is another goal, it will be perfect..."

During the half-time review, the guests thought the first half was exciting. Overall, Dortmund had the advantage again. They had more threatening shots than Bayern Munich. It was a pity that they failed to score in the end. The guests were also worried that Dortmund would not lead in the first half, so the fifteen minutes of the half-time break would be a chance for Bayern Munich to breathe.

Once you recover, it will definitely be a big threat to Dortmund.

By then, Dortmund will definitely regret their failure to score in the first half.

In the locker rooms of both teams, the coaches on both sides praised their team's performance in the first half.

Even Robben, who missed two single shots, was not criticized by Heinx. On the contrary, the old coach also praised and encouraged him: "I told you yesterday, Al Yang, you will be the key figure in this game. Your performance in the first half did not disappoint me. Look, I was right. So please continue to play like this in the second half! They can't keep up with your speed at all!"

Robben, who missed two single shots in the first half, was still feeling regret and pain for this. Now when he heard Heinx say this, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart - as a player, trust from the head coach is what they value most. The so-called "a scholar dies for his confidant", although Robben himself is a Dutch, he does not know that this Chinese idiom can mean the same.

He thanked Heinx for his support and trust in himself.

This season is the last season of Heinx's coaching career. Everyone hopes to use the championship to bid farewell to the old coach. The league championship is no longer possible, so the Champions League champion can no longer be lost.

On Dortmund, Klopp did not criticize the team for wasting opportunities in the first half. However, he still proposed to make the offense more efficient in the second half.

Because he also knows that wasting opportunities will be punished.

He praised Zhou Yi's performance. In the first half, Borussia Dortmund had so many offensive opportunities, and Zhou Yi played a very important and critical role in it.

Although he is under the key watch of Bayern Munich, he still frequently sends instant passes.

It can be seen that Zhou Yi is in good condition today.

I hope this good condition will not be wasted...

In Klopp's view, this season may be the only chance for him and his team to reach the top of Europe.

Next season, what should be gone is gone, and the players who stay still don’t know whether they can still maintain that fighting spirit and desire for victory. No one knows what the team’s environment will become.

After four seasons of running-in, the young team has fully matured and it is time to harvest the fruits.

During the intermission, in addition to the TV station, the first half of the final was also discussed on the Internet.

Everyone thinks this is the best Champions League final they have seen in the past decade.

It is rare for both sides to play against each other so unscrupulously. Moreover, the goalkeepers of both teams performed very well in this game, which made them not beaten into sieve when they attacked.

Neuer is naturally the most popular goalkeeper in football today, surpassing Casillas and Buffon to become the world's number one goalkeeper.

Weidenfeller is not to be outdone. He has maintained a high competitive level in recent seasons. The saves he made in the first half are also the highlights of his career.

At first, everyone thought that the Champions League final was a civil war between the two German teams, which might be boring. Many people who have this idea probably don’t pay much attention to the Bundesliga.

In their inherent impression, the Bundesliga seems to be useless except for its high broadcasting level.

But now I look at it and find that the level of German football is so high.

Both teams are world-class, no wonder they were the two teams that finally reached the Champions League final this season.

This is definitely not something that can be achieved by being lucky enough to get to this point.

In the knockout stage, Bayern Munich eliminated Premier League giants Arsenal, Serie A giants Juventus and La Liga giants Barcelona, ​​and entered the Champions League final. It has a lot of value all the way.

Dortmund was not inferior. He was assigned to the group of death in the group stage, and as a result, he easily advanced to the top in the group. In the quarter-finals and semi-finals, the Madrid two heroes were defeated one after another. They were able to advance to the finals, which was also very convincing.

And in a sense, Dortmund's current achievements are even more extraordinary - Dortmund is only ranked 40th in European club expenditures (including player transfer fees and wages) this season. With such inconspicuous investment, he has won a place in the league championship and Champions League final, which is even more amazing.

Of course, if Dortmund has achieved such achievements today, one person’s contribution cannot be ignored - Zhou Yi.

In the rear studio of CCTV, everyone was discussing Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi performed very well in the first half, and he was the best player for Dortmund in these forty-five minutes.

Bai Songyan even asserted that if Dortmund can win the Champions League this season, then Zhou Yi and the first midfielder in Europe will be fully established.

As Xavi and Pirlo gradually grow old, Zhou Yi is the next midfield master.

"Thinking about him being only twenty-two years old now, this is really terrible..." Bai Songyan sighed. But he was very happy inside, because it means that the next ten years of Chinese football will be enough for him to give him more expectations.
