The noise of the Bernabeu stadium shook all sides, and the cheers of the two teams of fans in the stands were like waves, one after another. The scene was spectacular.
The world-renowned Champions League final officially kicked off after referee Webber whistled!
Inter took the lead in kickoff.
After Milito kicked the ball to Eto'o, the latter returned the ball. The two strikers quickly ran to the Monaco restricted area. Although Pandev also moved forward on the right, he was obviously not so radical.
Even though Inter Milan put forward an attack formation of 4231, they still defend and counterattack in their bones.
Just playing in the Champions League final, Mourinho really doesn't need to let inter shrink in the key defensive area of 40 yards in front of the goal like playing Barcelona.
The necessary pressure should be given to the opponent.
It is also a test of Monaco's state and defensive strength.
Sneijder encountered Suarez's counter attack at the back of the central circle. After his fast and smooth triangular pass with Cambiasso and Zanetti, he got rid of the close attack of Suarez and Gareth bell. Although he did not advance the offensive, he instigated a long pass forward in the central circle.
The football flew directly to the middle of the restricted area to find Milito, and Eto'o was ready to start the forward anti offside at any time in the left front of the restricted area.
After Milito stopped the ball in the chest, he was pressed by benatia behind him. He tried to carry the other party and tried to change the direction, but he saw nkuru kill in front of him, so he subconsciously knocked the ball across Eto'o's place.
Before Eto'o took over, Modesto took the initiative to break the ball.
Monaco successfully defended the opponent's game. Although both teams were actually restraining the attack for fear of mistakes in the defense line due to excessive attack, the pace of the game remained high. Just as situ Yunbing could smash the opponent through fast-paced continuous counterattack in French armour, Mourinho also knew this well, or Mourinho had already played this set well, They happen to coincide. The pace of the game can't be slow. Although it's good for defense, it doesn't help attack and score. To win the championship, you still have to score after all!
In the 8th minute of the game, Monaco's advantage in the number of midfielders began to be reflected. When wittsell and Perez pressed Sneijder together and matic paid attention to blocking Cambiasso's or Zanetti's forward insertion line, Inter Milan's passing direction was basically limited to Pandev on the side if they didn't pass the ball directly to the striker's feet, Gareth Bell's existence has a certain suppression on Maicon. Maicon has a strong ability to assist, but once the assist is frustrated, Monaco will turn around to hit his defense area, and Gareth bell will be like no one!
Sneijder was forced to pass the ball back, and Zanetti then slanted the ball to Pandev. At this time, morrow took the initiative to press forward. At the same time, Mattic also attacked Pandev in the direction, while Perez moved to the middle, and wittsel continued to press Sneijder.
In situ Yunbing's eyes, Pandev is actually a weakness in the attack and defense system of Inter Milan. The attack is capable, but it is not enough to form a burst point, so the defense can't be expected.
When Pandev realized that he was in a state of encirclement and suppression, he could not wait for his opponent to force himself into a dead end before considering how to break through, so he quickly observed the surrounding situation. There was no good passing line nearby, and Monaco's midfield blockade was also in place.
And he didn't know the situation behind him, so he had to risk passing the ball sideways to find Milito in the middle ahead.
At the moment of his ball, wiltonhorn immediately boldly grabbed the ball.
Even if Milito took the initiative to run and meet, he was still one step ahead of villtonhorn to walk the ball.
Wiltonhorn, who took two steps forward, sent a long pass with one foot on the ground.
The football rolled to the front left.
Pandev turned and chased back, and Zanetti also helped defend on the side.
Gareth bell takes the ball and turns and starts immediately!
When he soared to speed, Maicon was cautious in the sideline area outside the restricted area line.
But Gareth bell is obviously a little unstoppable!
Zanetti's defensive side is also slow, becoming a catch-up from behind!
Mourinho's face changed slightly on the sidelines. Gareth bell is a headache for him because he is too fast!
When Gareth bell came to Maicon with amazing momentum, his rhythm did not change at all, that is, he forced to overtake on the outside!
Maicon was afraid of the other team's ball turning inward, so he didn't dare to go to the outside defense too much. When he turned to intercept, he found that there was no chance to step down!
Situ Yunbing's eyes are bright!
Monaco does not have as many world-class stars as Inter, but there are players who can disrupt the other side's defense on the front line.
Gareth bell!
The audience was stunned. Gareth bell passed Maicon on the side!
As if Maicon had surrendered easily!
Speed advantage is sometimes very overbearing, which will invalidate the experience and ability of defenders!
If you have experience to predict and have the ability to intercept accurately, everything is a white tower without speed.
Of course, Maicon is right to guard the inside line and not give Gareth bell the opportunity to cut inside, because comparing the outside line to the opponent and the inside space to the opponent, the lesser of the two evils is the right, and the inside line is far more important than the outside line.
Gareth bell went to the bottom of the ball and swept the ball to the middle of the goal.
Suarez was closely marked by Samuel in the rush running position, and even the two had a collision action. Samuel took the first step to clear the ball out of the sideline.
When he stopped, Suarez held his head up and glared at Samuel with an unhappy look. In the competition for points just now, Suarez was hit by Samuel on his own initiative and nearly fell to the ground. Suarez thought the other party was intentional. In fact, Samuel was in the lead, and there was no need to hit that to clear the ball.
Samuel ignored Suarez, but Lucio came and scolded Suarez to go away. Suarez was a little reluctant. Referee Webber had to run to mediate and warn the players of both teams to control their anger.
The reporters in the media were not surprised.
It's strange that Uruguayan players, Brazilian players and Argentine players don't spark a little.
In the 11th minute of the game, Monaco repeated its old skills. While trying to limit Sneijder in the midfield, it forced Inter Milan to find Pandev as much as possible, and revealed a hole in the defense to give Pandev space. As long as Inter Milan players pass to him, Monaco will immediately encircle and suppress him!
But this time Cambiasso picked the ball to the left of the front court in the midfield. Eto'o quickly cut the ball after stopping the ball on the side. When nkuru came, Eto'o quickly knocked the ball across the middle, and Sneijder quickly pushed forward to get rid of wittsell and Perez. At this time, matic took the lead to release the shovel, and Sneijder was closer to the football, He poked the ball to the front and was brought to the ground by Mattic. As soon as Milito stopped the ball, benatia came forward from the side and rear to poke the ball away.
Referee Webber whistled and sentenced Mattic for a foul tackle without showing him a yellow card. Inter Milan won a free kick 35 yards from the goal.
In the spotlight, Sneijder took the direct free kick.
When everyone thought he would pass the ball, Sneijder shot directly!
Because the distance is too far, playing a parabola can make the football go over the top of the wall and start to fall, but it only gives the goalkeeper more time to save.
De GEA concentrated and did not relax. Although Sneijder's cold shot had a tricky angle, his strength was not great in order to ensure that the football did not fly. When the football was about to fall into the lower right corner of the goal, de GEA lunged in place and held the ball in his arms in a standard and beautiful manner.
Monaco fans praised de GEA's performance with warm applause.
In the first 15 minutes of the Champions League final, on the premise of being wary of each other's counterattack, Inter Milan's attack is still more threatening!
