Chapter 539: England Explodes!

To be honest, when Ling Feng saw Ronaldo's social media, he almost couldn't hold back.

As expected of you!

How did he have the courage to post such a movie-like line on his social media?

However, considering that Luo Ge was an extremely narcissistic person, he felt relieved.

Ronaldo's never-give-up spirit is worthy of admiration.

Even though the team's legends and the media are touting Real Madrid's dominance in the Champions League.

But in Ling Feng's opinion, the outcome of this game had been decided from the beginning.
Of course, judging from the strength on paper, the star-studded Galacticos are definitely stronger than Manchester United.

However, if football matches are only judged by strength on paper, then last year, given that their strength on paper was not as good as Real Madrid, they would not have been able to win the final and win the Champions League!

What's more, Manchester United is also strengthening its lineup this summer? !

Judging from the starting eleven alone, there is actually not much difference in the strength of the Manchester United and Real Madrid lineups.

The Red Devils trident of Ibrahimovic, Lukaku and Rashford is compared to the BBC combination of Benzema, Bale and Ronaldo. Perhaps the latter is slightly better.
The Red Devils midfield led by Ling Feng and assisted by Kante and Herrera is already better than the ceremonial midfield trio consisting of Modric, Kroos and Casemiro!
On the defensive line, Luke Shaw, Maguire, Bailly and Valencia each have their own strengths compared to Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal.

In the goalkeeper position, De Gea is not much inferior to Navas.

As for the bench depth, both sides also have some talented players who can change the situation to a certain extent.

For example, Lingard and Martial;

For example, Asensio and Isco
Judging from the competitive state of this season, Manchester United clearly has the upper hand!

Manchester United has remained undefeated in all competitions so far and has won the domestic treble!
However, Real Madrid's performance in all competitions has been fluctuating, and they have lost ten games throughout the season!
However, in the Champions League, Real Madrid seemed to be assisted by God, which was extremely mysterious.

This season, many Real Madrid fans are joking:

Is it still worth watching Real Madrid's Champions League games?
We just kicked a few random balls in the first eighty-nine minutes, and somehow we won in the final moments!
The way to win is too mysterious and difficult for normal people to understand.

At this point, Zidane was given the nickname "Emperor Xuanzong of Qi" by the fans.

In the eyes of noble Real Madrid fans, Manchester United, the team that once defeated them in the Champions League final, is a thief!
In last year's Champions League final, Manchester United stole the Champions League title that belonged to them, shattering their dream of defending the Champions League.

Especially Ling Feng, who scored the winning goal, has since become the second most hated player among Real Madrid fans, second only to Messi!
So, no matter what, they must beat Manchester United this time and take back the Big Ear Cup that belongs to them!
. . .

As everyone in the football world was eagerly awaiting the match, the day of the final soon arrived.

There is such a place, which once caused the Bundesliga giant Bayern to lose;

He also helped the Spanish team to sweep Italy with four goals and win the championship in one battle;

That is the Olympic International Stadium in Kiev!
As the anxious high temperatures of midsummer hit, the Champions League final made the entire football world boil before the World Cup!

May 5th, the day of the finals.

The Olympic International Stadium, which can accommodate 55,000 people, was already full.

The Premier League's big devil Manchester United and La Liga's galactic battleship Real Madrid will decide a new European king in this stadium!
There are several highlights in this final:
The first one is the competition between Ling Feng and Ronaldo for the Champions League Golden Boot!

As the star players of Manchester United and Real Madrid, Ling Feng and Ronaldo have both scored 16 goals in the Champions League this season, ranking first in the scorer list.

He is only one goal away from the single-season Champions League goal record set by Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the final, Manchester United and Real Madrid had to rely to a large extent on their star players to win.

Therefore, whether the two can score in the final may determine the outcome of the game!
The second is whether Real Madrid can stop Manchester United from defending the Champions League title!
Last year, Manchester United was still a roadblock for Real Madrid to defend their title;
This year, Real Madrid has become the last brave man to stop the Red Devil from dyeing the entire European continent red with blood!
In just one year, Manchester United and Real Madrid swapped identities.

I have to say, it really makes people sigh at the charm of football!

In this year's Champions League, Real Madrid can be said to have reached the final among a number of strong opponents.
However, the Galacticos did not demonstrate their dominance during the group stage.

Especially the fact that they were defeated by Tottenham both at home and away has cast a big question mark on whether this Champions League champion can go further.

However, after entering the knockout stage, Real Madrid proved with their performance that they are still one of the strongest teams in Europe!

When facing strong teams such as Paris, Juventus and Liverpool, Real Madrid defeated their opponents one by one.

Although the process was a bit difficult, thanks to Ronaldo's superb performance and Zidane's metaphysical support, Real Madrid finally achieved the feat of reaching the finals four times in five years!
On the other hand, the opponent Manchester United has shown its powerful dominance like the devil since the group stage.

They won all the group matches and swept Sevilla, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the knockout stage, reaching the final with a perfect record!
Moreover, Manchester United's dominance over the game is better than Real Madrid.

Therefore, in the pre-match predictions given by major gaming companies, Manchester United's odds of winning the championship are still slightly lower than those of Real Madrid.

An hour before the game, both sides announced their starting lineups.

Real Madrid still uses the iconic 433 tactical formation:

Goalkeeper Navas;
The four defenders are Carvajal, Ramos, Varane and Marcelo;

Three midfielders, Casemiro, Modric and Kroos;

The trident is Ronaldo, Benzema and Isco!
This lineup has not changed at all from the starting eleven in last year's Champions League final!

However, compared to last year, Real Madrid's substitute lineup is missing two "bench bandits" Morata and James Rodriguez, as well as defensive backbones such as Danilo and Pepe.

Replacing them are young players such as Ceballos, Theo, Llorente and Mayoral.

Compared with last season's luxurious bench of "one lineup for the league and another lineup for the Champions League", Real Madrid's bench depth has declined after Morata, James Rodriguez, Danilo, Pepe and other players left the team one after another.

As for the long-standing problem of lack of rotation players in the defensive midfielder position, Real Madrid simply solved it by recalling young player Llorente.

Perhaps it is because the loss of the team is too serious, coupled with the fact that main players such as Bale and Benzema are plagued by injuries, and the substitute lineup cannot be replaced in time, that Real Madrid, which has always had a luxurious lineup, has experienced a league collapse this season under the pressure of fighting on two fronts in the league and the Champions League!

As for Manchester United, there are two changes in the starting eleven compared to last year.

The right winger Rooney became Lukaku, and the center back Rojo became Maguire.

The changes in these two positions are obvious improvements.

Compared to Rooney, Lukaku is younger and more impactful;
Compared to Rojo, Maguire is calmer and has better passing ability.

On the bench, there are players such as Lingard, Martial, Mata, Neves, Rojo and others.

Seeing the rosters of both teams, even the commentator couldn't help but sigh:
It is worthy of being the pinnacle showdown of the highest level clubs in Europe!
It is worth mentioning that the market value of Manchester United and Real Madrid happen to be the top two teams in the global team value list.

Real Madrid first, Manchester United second!
In other words, this is also the most expensive match in the world!
On the eve of the game, players from both sides also gathered in the player tunnel.

Compared to the bustling stadium, the players' tunnel was filled with silent smoke. Unlike last year, Ling Feng, wearing the captain's armband, no longer shook hands with his opponents.

He just stood quietly at the front of the queue, looking straight ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was standing at the end of the Real Madrid team, did not take the initiative to greet Ling Feng.

However, before going on the court, his eyes were fixed on the Red Devils No. 7 who had once defeated him.

The resolute look in his eyes seemed to be saying:

"I won't lose this time!"

Will the Red Devils Manchester United break the curse and defend the title after the reform?
Or will Real Madrid complete its revenge and regain its hegemony over Europe?
The answer will be revealed in ninety minutes!

. . .

Beep!
With a long whistle from the famous Serbian referee Mažic, the Champions League final officially kicked off!

Real Madrid took the lead.

Facing Real Madrid, which has Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United did not adopt high-pressure pressing.

Because both Kroos and Modric have the ability to pass the ball over the top and behind the back.

Moreover, Real Madrid's ability to pass the ball from the backcourt is also quite good.

What's more, last year they defeated Real Madrid with low defense and sharp and quick counterattacks!

Therefore, Mourinho continued to park the bus calmly on the stage of the final.

Real Madrid, which controlled the ball, did not launch a large-scale attack.

Perhaps it was a decisive final, and both sides were very cautious in the first ten minutes.

Every attack is a cautious test of the opponent's strength.

It wasn't until the 16th minute of the game that Manchester United took the lead!

Ling Feng retreated to receive the ball, and after turning around, he made a long diagonal pass to Lukaku on the right.

The "Belgian Soup Brother" took the ball and looked at Marcelo in front of him, then suddenly made a Soup-like move, stepped on the accelerator and forced his way past the "World's No. 1 Left Player" Marcelo, then cut inside all the way to the front area of ​​the penalty area and shot directly!
With a bang, the ball was hit directly onto the second-tier stands!
This wave of operations also caused sighs in the stands.

However, Ling Feng and other Manchester United teammates just thought it was just basic operations.

In this game, Manchester United still gave up the ball, seized the opportunity of offense and defense transition, and counterattacked Real Madrid!

Real Madrid, caught in a positional battle, is in the same situation as last year.

They had the ball, but all the passes were ineffective and they couldn't find much space to pass or break through.

Moreover, Real Madrid players clearly felt that Manchester United's defense was tighter than last year.

Even in the past year, Zidane and the coaching staff have been studying Manchester United's tactical style of play.

However, they still haven't found a good way to break through Manchester United's dense defense.

The two magic weapons to break through dense defense, set pieces and long shots, have no effect on Manchester United.

Especially the tall central defender named Maguire, almost no overhead ball or cross ball could get past his big head.

As for long shots, Ling Feng and Kante, two super midfielders with unlimited physical strength, will not leave any gaps, giving Real Madrid players the opportunity to shoot in the middle.

Of course, if it was so easy to crack, Manchester United would not have been undefeated this season and defeated all opponents!

Just when Real Madrid was at a loss, Manchester United discovered the truth after more than 20 minutes of testing and observation:
What are you doing?

How did this Real Madrid become so bad?!

In terms of passing and controlling the ball, Real Madrid does not have the midfield control of Manchester City and Barcelona;

As for counterattack, they didn't give Real Madrid any chance to fight back.

Therefore, compared to last year, they suddenly felt that this Real Madrid was weaker than last year.

Of course, what they don’t know is that they are now stronger than last year!

That’s why people feel that Real Madrid has become weaker!

When the game entered the 32nd minute, the situation on the field suddenly changed!
Ronaldo got the ball on the left and made a wall pass with Benzema who came over to receive the ball.

However, the force of Benzema's heel kick was a little light, which prevented Ronaldo from getting the ball and gave Herrera a chance to steal the ball.

With one step, he grabbed the ball and without any delay, he immediately passed the ball to Ling Feng in the middle.

The latter made a Marseille turn, passed Modric who was trying to steal the ball, and then advanced with the ball.

After pushing across half court, he made a lob pass with the outside of his foot and found Lukaku who was firmly behind on the right.

Because Marcelo was standing a little forward, he was unable to catch up and could only use all his strength to run after Kaku.

But this time Kaku learned his lesson.

He dribbled the ball inside with his left foot and came to the right side of the penalty area, pretending to shoot into the far corner. Then he faked a shot and dribbled to the right with his left foot, and then made a reverse triangle pass to the middle with his right foot!
When the Real Madrid players followed the ball, they were surprised to find that the Red Devils' most dangerous man appeared at the end of the ball!
The Red Devil's number seven stopped the ball steadily with the outside of his right foot.

The murderous intent in his eyes was beyond words!
"Don't let him get up!"

"Get on top!"

Amid the shouts of Navas and Zidane, Ramos and Varane rushed forward with fearless spirit.

At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds:
We must not let Ling Feng take a long shot!

However, the Red Devil's No. 7 is still one step faster than them!
Ling Feng was seen swinging his right leg at an extremely fast speed, and then with a "bang", he kicked the instep of his foot and hit the target!

The next second, the ball shot out!

Perhaps only a professional high-speed camera could see that the entire ball did not rotate at all, but drew a straight and elusive trajectory, like an extremely sharp sword, passing through the sky above the Olympic Stadium.

Of course, with such a terrifying speed, even Navas couldn't stop the ball from flying past his fingertips and finally into the upper right corner of the goal!
With a swish, the net was splashed with layers of white waves.

At the same time, the entire stadium suddenly exploded and began to boil!

No one expected that the Red Devils captain would turn into England's explosive guy. With just one long shot, he easily broke through Real Madrid's defense and was the first to penetrate Navas's defense!
