Hearing "bang", a football slammed into the junction of the crossbar and post and bounced back to the front of the goal again. The goalkeeper made a save, but he didn’t even touch the edge of the football. The football flew from the front of his hands to the goal and then flew to the front of the restricted area from his feet.
Fallonhorst jumped up high. He tried to push the football out of the boundary. There was not enough material. When he watched the football continue to fly out, he suddenly felt a bad feeling. The dazzling sunlight was blocked by a figure, and a yellow figure jumped up high. In the middle, the figure completed an amazing flip and then slowly fell to the ground.
"The goal is scored" Huang Jianxiang once again declared to all the audience in front of the camera that "the upside-down gold purchase is so beautiful. This ball is at least two meters off the ground. At this height, Adriano has completed such a difficult move. We have to be amazed at Adriano’s state this year. This goal can definitely be selected as one of the top ten goals of the year. Congratulations to Ade, congratulations to Dortmund Club, congratulations to Chairman Li Ning, although the game has not yet reached the time of celebration, I believe this moment will come soon."
After the goal, Adriano was more wonderful than the excitement. The upside-down structure not only ignited the enthusiasm of the fans, but also ignited a certain emotion that Adriano had been silent for a long time in his heart. He lay flat on the ground and let his teammates press himself heavily to feel the weight of his teammates and feel the support of the earth. At this time, he felt his heart beating hard. With every heartbeat, an inexplicable force followed the blood vessels all over his body. He felt a kind of strength, an omnipotent force.
One goal can change many Werder Bremen teams. After losing the goal, Shaff also sent all the strikers in his hand, but a four-striker array didn’t bring them good luck. By the eighth minute, Adriano made another counterattack, and the opposing defender forced the goalkeeper to cheat and easily sent the football to the gate.
From this moment on, everyone knows that the champion belongs to Dortmund.
Chapter two hundred and sixteen Prepare for the UEFA Cup
When the referee blew the whistle, the whole stadium was boiling. Dortmund fans shouted wildly. They excitedly waved their yellow jerseys and sang the term champion of the club song. It has been nearly ten years for them. Today, Dortmund team won the German Cup, but everyone firmly believes that they will usher in more honors soon. Although Werder Bremen fans are a little frustrated, UEFA has determined the rules of the season competition. Because Dortmund team has won it. They also automatically replenished a seat in the UEFA Cup in the Champions League. Werder Bremen fans consciously stayed on the field and waited for the award ceremony quietly, while Werder Bremen players went to their stands and bowed to thank them. This is the strength gap. Dortmund team has really moved towards the direction of the king from this moment on.
In May, the sun shone on people’s bodies, but the players felt a little cold after being soaked in sweat. After the ceremony, these main players rushed into the lounge and then changed clubs to win the championship, and specially customized commemorative clothes. When they appeared in the center of the stadium again, the music "We are the champions" began to play on the stadium speakers. The cameraman turned his camera in the direction of the fans. At this time, Dortmund fans were crazy to be able to shape them with one word.
Shouting, hugging and kissing crazily, they don’t know how to express and vent their emotions. They can vent their emotions in the simplest and most primitive way. The goal that Li Ning has been pursuing has come to them in the first year of taking over the club. Everything seems so surprising.
"The champion is" Zwangziger, president of the German Football Association, put down his speech. He looked at the Dortmund fans in the stands and shouted "Dortmund team"
As the Dortmund team reported a few words, Rosicky held high the trophy in his hand and showed it to the surrounding Dortmund fans, while other players also picked up the gold medal on their chests or kissed or shook the colorful confetti all over the sky and instantly sprayed it to the neat slogan around them.
"It feels good to be a champion." At this time, all Dortmund players silently felt that most of them had never experienced the championship. It turned out that this feeling was so wonderful.
On the second day after the game, various German media reported the news that Dortmund won the championship in a large space. The general media agreed that Dortmund’s winning the championship this time was a natural thing. All newspapers spoke highly of what Li Ning had done after he took over the club. They all agreed that Li Ning was a real football investor. When he succeeded in Dortmund, everyone had to be supported by Li Ning’s strong financial support. When it came to the financial problem, reporters had to associate Abramovich. They made a comparison between the two most beautiful investors in Europe today. The German media all agreed that Li Ning was more knowledgeable about business than Abramovich.
This report was written by Li Ning Shang, such as Hess and matthaeus, before the meeting. When he pointed to the media in the newspaper and commented that he knew how to run the business, Hess left his mouth and muttered a few words. He changed hands and picked up the financial report at hand, pointing to the face and showing red numbers. Then he tilted his head and stretched his face, so he looked at Li Ning Shang again seriously.
"Ha ha" gave Li Ning a quick laugh and immediately changed the subject and said, "My dear Mr. General Manager, you see that our team has finally helped us to win the first championship. I think we can reduce the contract signing amount for a season to about 10%. If we can win the UEFA Cup this Sunday, it will be a big deal, don’t you think?" Please clap Hess’s back. Li Ning’s words of changing the subject really worked.
"I hope so," Hess raised a smile. "If the club can really win the UEFA Cup trophy, I will definitely increase the signing fee by 20%, but our opponent is Barcelona."
"If there is no 30% increase, we will find another sponsor." Li Ning returned to his seat and regained his businessman color. He looked at Hess and said, "If we can beat Barcelona, it will prove that we have the strength to fight in the Champions League. We will set foot on the Champions League stage. We will tell those sponsors that we are not dark horses and we are really giants."
Hess has no doubt about this passage in terms of foresight. After observing Li Ning’s business operation last season, Hess is very confident in it. The only thing that makes Hess dissatisfied is that Li Ning’s business operation is too much.
"I’d like to ask your opinion. After the UEFA Cup comes out, I’m going back to China. During this period, my vice chairman, Mr. matthaeus, talked. I hope he can take charge of the transfer, and I also hope that you can settle all the sponsorship contracts and help head coach Manzini formulate the team’s pre-season warm-up plan and implement it. Is there any problem?" Li Ning Shang asked Hess
"No problem," Hess spread his hand and asked, "When will you be back?"
"I haven’t decided on the specific time, but I will definitely come back before the new season. I have informed Manzini that all the young players trained by other clubs will be handed over to him for a week to see how we have made progress in the next half season. You should be careful about the lives of these children."
Hess nodded his head and wrote his schedule into his palm.
Seeing Hess’s PDA, Li Ning cleared his throat and said softly, "There is one more thing to tell you." Seeing Hess looking up at himself, he went on to say, "In order to help the team win the Bundesliga championship in 2008 and be more secure in the Champions League, I made a budget of 150 million euros to introduce players in the season."
"What?" A loud cry went out from the chairman’s office.
Rest, entertainment and tactical drills for Barcelona have become Manzini’s little training these days. It’s very easy for the players, but Manzini obviously feels that the players are laughing less. From the serious attitude of the players, he knows that the players are very excited to face such a strong player. They are all looking forward to showing their strength in the final and beating each other to achieve a double championship. It’s hard to say that accidents always happen.
The UEFA Cup final is also scheduled to be held in the third place. Marseille, France has undertaken the final. The collision between Dortmund and Barcelona has made Marseille club operators very excited, because they also have a certain income with the quality of ticket sales.
It is precisely because of the collision of strong teams that the club has raised the price of all tickets according to the instructions of UEFA. Before the arrival of the two teams, 70% of the tickets have been booked online. On the day of the game, the bursting of the stadium can be expected. What the general manager of Marseille is most willing to do these two days is to check the ticket sales on the ticket sales network from time to time.
Both teams arrived in Marseille on Thursday. Due to the prior request, Dortmund Barcelona stayed in different hotels, which was a fair period or to reduce unnecessary friction. When booking hotels, UEFA calculated that the difference between the two hotels and the stadium was less than 1 minute by car. Only from this detail, the development of European football has far surpassed other regions.
If a large number of reporters rushed to Marseille before the arrival of the two teams to prepare for the broadcast of the game, then more fans arrived in Marseille a day or two before the game. Suddenly, the hotel industry in Marseille was booming like never before, and the occupancy rate of all hotels reached 100%. Tents appeared in the streets of Marseille in Germany. Although it was not original, it still attracted some media reporters to take pictures and publish them on the title page of the newspaper, showing how much fans paid attention to the game.
Just as the winner of the German Cup predicted that all the media would be unified, the media of the UEFA Cup winner showed their consistency. This time, it was not Dortmund but their rival Barcelona.
In comparison, Barcelona is even more famous, which can be reflected by the number of French people on the sidelines of the two teams’ public training sessions.
Although there are fans wearing yellow jerseys on the sidelines every time Dortmund team trains in public, you can know that these are German fans who come with the team when they speak German, while French-speaking fans around Barcelona team account for a considerable number.
Noting this, Li Ning always unconsciously observes that the opposing team is asked to sign the autograph, and Ronaldinho secretly wonders the possibility that Barcelona will let him leave the team and how much he will pay to attract such a superstar.
Chapter two hundred and seventeen Battle UEFA Cup (1)
"goalkeeper number one Valdes; Defender line No.2 Belletti, No.4 Marcos, No.5 Puyol, No.12 Van Bronhorst; Halftime No.6 Harvey, No.15 edmilson and No.20 Deco; StrikerNo. Jiuli No.9 Eto ‘o No.1 Ronaldinho "When the commentator reported Ronaldinho’s name, he simply shouted out. Although the whole team had shown two core trends before Eto ‘o was injured this season, as far as fame is concerned, people still think that Barcelona’s real core is Ronaldinho. The whole stadium is boiling in Marseille, and the fans in the whole stadium are divided into three parts: one third yellow and one third purple. There is also a third of the French fans, except for the yellow area, who burst into unusually loud cheers. There is no way to make their opponent Barcelona. Who makes Barcelona have so many brilliant and world-class stars? Dortmund players can pretend to see nothing and hear nothing when they see and hear this scene.
Before the start of the game, it can be reflected that the team position is lower than that of the other team. After the entrance, Dortmund was arranged on the left side of the referee. Here is the visiting team position. Before the game, the two players shook hands slowly. Adriano walked up to Ronaldinho and smiled slightly, while the other team patted Adriano on the shoulder. Both sides were teammates of the national team. Looking up, they didn’t look down, and now they showed a posture of being out of place. It was really unreasonable, but after the game started, it was another matter.
Before the start of the competition, Li Ning had a cordial exchange with Barcelona President Calderon in the stands. Although it was not the final of the Champions League, if the heads of all clubs in Europe were bound to watch the game, there was not much exchange between the two clubs last season. However, saviola’s visit to Li Ning on Christmas Eve made both sides have a good impression on each other. Facing Dortmund’s rapid rise this year, Calderon obviously gave a warm handshake and a close hug. Plus, when chatting for ten minutes, both clubs showed good prospects in the future.
When the players from both sides were in the middle circle, the whole stadium was quiet, and everyone focused on the referee, which made the referee on duty very proud to be arranged by UEFA to enforce the law in this game, which proved his value.
The crisp and sharp whistle resounded through the field, followed by "Bang"-the sound of feet touching football, followed by cheers all over the sky.
Rosicky seems a little nervous at this time. When facing Riquelme, he feels more excited. But now he sees Ronaldinho, the most powerful player in the world football, standing opposite him. He has a little self-confidence in his own strength. There is often a line in heaven and hell. If he can beat his opponent this year and play a leading role in it, he will usher in a better future. But if he loses his ability here, he will be questioned. Who will greatly reduce the attraction of the former Bundesliga?
Glancing at Ronaldinho Rosicky, he didn’t choose his favorite breakthrough with the ball, but gave the football to Dorasu behind him, and he bypassed the opponent’s body and ran to Barcelona’s restricted area.
Obviously, the nervousness is not only attributed to Rosicky’s extremely cautious play in the first ten minutes, careful small-scale short-term cooperation and tentative breakthrough, but Barcelona’s goal was not threatened by penetration. Ronaldinho took the penalty and hit the post.
Although he didn’t score a goal, judging from Manzini’s excitement and shouting on the sidelines, he was very dissatisfied with the performance of the players. Most of the players in the team had no experience in the European finals. This disadvantage made the players very nervous at the opening stage. If this tension is allowed to spread, the game will not be played.
Looking around the venue, Manzini, a member of the team, focused his attention on Adriano. After all, Ronaldinho is a teammate of the national team, and both of them often train together during the national team training. When facing Ronaldinho’s defense, he can still maintain a stable mentality and break through the opportunity of shooting a sideline ball. Manzini pulled the opponent to his side and confessed to him.
When the football was thrown back to the field again, all the fans were surprised because they saw a phenomenon that never happened. Adriano withdrew to the midfield and Rosicky formed a double front waist formation, leaving a Kavinaji in the front line at this time.
Mancini certainly knows that it is not suitable for a striker to suddenly change to play in midfield. Players need more long-range shooting skills besides one foot. They are an organizer. It is most necessary to send the football to others at the right time to help his teammates complete an attack. But for Adriano, there is absolutely no problem in shooting, and it is not impossible for small-scale teammates to create opportunities. However, it is really difficult for him to make a good shot at a long distance.
But what Manzini wants is not that Adriano’s appearance in this position is only a short-term transition. It is definitely a wave of resources to keep an efficient shooter away from the penalty area. This arrangement of Manzini is based on the fact that Adriano has no burden in one-on-one or even one-on-two confrontation. He dares to take the ball and break through and maintain a high success rate. He needs Adriano’s other players to set an example. He needs players to know that the other side is not one foot more than himself and he is not worse than the other side.
The football arrived at Adriano’s foot and looked up at Ronaldinho’s position. Seeing that the other team was still some distance away from him, he began to pay attention to the movements of others around him. It’s not that Adriano was afraid of Ronaldinho. The first two men also had two face-to-face opportunities, and both sides won once. However, Manzini confessed to himself that it was in the shortest time to arouse the passion of other players and dispel their fears.
Not far away from Harvey’s choice, Decoy wanted to pass the other side, which was also a Brazilian midfielder, but it took some twists and turns. Adriano pulled the ball behind him with his own technical strength, and he accelerated his running speed. When there was still half a meter left in front of Puyol, Adriano lightly threw the ball at the speed and left the other side behind him.
At this time, he has already rushed into the restricted area and looked aggressive and rushed to his face. Belletti Adriano suddenly stopped and pulled horizontally. Then he kicked the door and the football flew to Valdes like a cannonball.
A sideways diving, because Adriano shot at a tricky angle and it was a ground ball, Valdez didn’t get the football into his own hands, but only touched the corner of the football, but it was enough to save the fate of the whole team. The football changed direction and flew out of the baseline field at a high speed against the post. The Dortmund fans gave a sigh of regret, leading the team by more than 70% in the final and winning the game. Didn’t the fans come here to cheer for their team in the hope that they could win a victory and comfort themselves?
Regret shook his head Adriano walked to the small restricted area. He was waiting for the corner kick. Camorasi walked to the corner point vaguely. He heard Manzini shouting and looked in the direction of the coach’s seat. He saw Manzini make a tactical gesture of No.3 and raised his hand to the other side. At the same time, Camorasi made a tactical gesture of No.3 while waking up, and everyone responded to Manzini’s instructions.
Camorasi didn’t kick his foot. Suddenly, a straight plug was stuck there. Dede suddenly started from the midfield and inserted into the edge of the penalty area at high speed. Dede drew a ball at the bottom of the football, which was one and a half meters high across the entire penalty area. Because it was too close to the goal, no player in Barcelona tried to block the ball from the baseline with his foot, but made way for the goalkeeper to collect it in his arms.
Valdes opened his arms and quickly ran forward to embrace the football. Just as he took the second step, Valdes felt that a dark figure was blocking the sunlight and Adriano was his first reaction. Valdes quickly stepped back. Valdes opened his arms and blocked all the shooting angles of the opponent.
Instead of shooting, Valdez immediately moved to the center of the goal and Adriano greeted the ball. Suddenly, with a hook, he ferried the ball to the top of the arc, where Rosicky had already squared his posture. A powerful volley ball slammed into the goal post and bounced off the sideline. Dortmund finally gave Barcelona a goal post in the 25th minute of the half-time, and the game returned to the starting point. At this time, both sides finally returned to a balance from the situation or psychology.
Chapter two hundred and ten Decisive UEFA Cup (2
Mancini’s eyebrows were slightly loosened. Adriano changed the player’s mentality only through an excellent breakthrough. In the one-on-one confrontation, the players were finally able to play their usual 10% strength, and they were no longer timid. The other team’s reputation was indeed greater than their own players, but these players in their own hands were also the main members of national teams. No one has more legs than anyone else. Even if there is a gap in strength, it is definitely not as big as it just showed. Continue to observe the players on the sidelines. It didn’t take long for Manzini’s eyebrows to bounce together again. The personal gap between the two players is reflected in the fact that a few players, such as Ronaldinho and Eto’ o, are absolutely excellent. They are also players at a higher level than ordinary players, but in the overall cooperation comparison, the team seems to have some gaps.
Organizing the Barcelona attack in Ronaldinho is like a sprinkler. On how tight the defensive position is, they can always find the gap by constantly inserting the ball and launch a heart-pounding attack. Not long ago, Ronaldinho got the ball in the midfield. He glanced at Dortmund’s penalty area and was one foot long. At the same time, the winger quickly killed the ball and grabbed it before Metzelder. He controlled the ball in his own foot and shot it directly. If abbiati was not in a good position, the ball would have hit the goal. Only this attack performance, Manzini was surprised in a cold sweat.
Both teams are famous for their offense in the national arena. As the saying goes, when the two teams meet, the brave wins, but Manzini is deeply ignorant at the moment. Dortmund alone can’t defeat Barcelona’s technical and tactical cooperation, and it is not necessarily better than himself. However, because of the superstars like Ronaldinho and Eto’ o, they are definitely superior to their opponents in tactical execution.
It seems that it is a hope to defeat the opponent according to the attack, but it is impossible for rammstein to abandon the attack and defend because he has personally experienced the opponent’s attack in Manzini and lost the idea of letting the team concentrate on defense.
Manzini’s mind kept spinning, and he was deeply immersed in anxiety. He thought of last season’s Champions League final, in which Arsenal were scored twice by Barcelona and lost the championship. The two goals scored in the scene were the result of Barcelona players’ personal flash.
At this time, Manzini no longer thought about nine minutes to solve the fighting idea. His only thought was to drag the game into extra time or even penalty. At that time, the Barcelona players’ mentality would change and it would be possible for their team to win.
After waiting for forty-six minutes, Manzini finally ushered in a half-court game, which made him feel gratified that his team didn’t concede a goal. Although the scene was extremely passive, there was still no problem if the result was better than that. In this year, the most important thing for everyone to observe is to observe the result, and there is nothing worth caring about in the process. Although this way seems more utilitarian, it is also an inevitable trend in the material society.
In the lounge, Manzini first asked about the players’ status. Because they are used to playing downwind ball, Dortmund club met for the first time. It is bound to have a great change in the mentality of the team in all aspects. The heavy pressure not only kills the players’ will, but also consumes their physical strength.
After getting a definite answer, Manzini decided to take a relatively conservative play at half-time, remove a striker and join a midfielder to play with double forebacks. This will not reduce the defensive pressure of the other team, but also enhance the robbery ability of some teams in the midfield. Since Barcelona’s greatest advantage is in the midfield, it will carry out defensive destruction from its strongest place, thus consuming the belief of the other team.
