Chapter four hundred and sixty-six famous game start
"At the beginning of this game, the Madrid Kings raised the speed and rhythm... The two teams have played against each other many times in the league and are very familiar with each other. There is no need to test each other. So the Kings played in the way they are best at.
Attack the Pirates' defense..."
Ten minutes into the game, He Feng told the Chinese fans in front of the TV his observations of the ten minutes of the game.
In these ten minutes, although it was the Pirates who kicked off the game, it was the Kings who had the advantage and created more opportunities.
Just as the experts and celebrities analyzed before the game.
The Kings of Madrid have more experience in finals and they know how to play in the Champions League final.
The players are more confident and dare to make moves.
This is a very important advantage for the proactive party.
The Madrid Pirates were obviously constrained by their lack of experience in the Champions League finals and played more cautiously after the start of the game, so they were on the defensive.
No matter how coach Parotti emphasizes to the players in the locker room before the game that this is just an ordinary game, the facts will not change.
The fact is that this is no ordinary game.
This is the Champions League final!
No matter how much you try to ignore the special significance of this game, the aura of the Champions League final cannot be erased.
So the Pirates players played cautiously after the game started, for fear of making mistakes.
Of course, this was also caused by their efforts to slow down the pace of the game according to Parotti's tactics.
As long as the ball is at their feet, they will not pass it forward immediately, but pass it crosswise or back.
Unless the opportunity is particularly good, it will be forwarded.
"Parotti wanted to turn the Pirates' midfield into a quagmire to trap the Kings players from moving forward."
In the stands, Tony Clark was chatting with his friend and assistant Matt Dawn about what he had observed.
"Parotti is a stable head coach. And their midfielder does have a relatively better advantage - after Kyrie's withdrawal." Matt said.
"But I don't think this is right, Matt." Clark shook his head. "Ten minutes into the game, Hu didn't get a single shot. If I had Hu, I would never let this wasteful situation happen..."
Matt teased: "You did, Tony."
Clark was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, we have had it before."
Then he continued: "If I were Parotti, I would make the team play more actively, put the football at Hu's feet more, let him shoot, and do everything possible to create scoring opportunities for him.
Instead of thinking about slowing down the king first..."
"Not everyone is a 'crazy', Tony." Matt smiled. "Put away your occupational disease, we are just here to cheer Hu."
Clark touched his chin and stopped talking.
But rather than saying that he suffered from an occupational disease, it would be better to say that he missed Hu Lai a little.
This season Leeds City finally finished sixth in the League One and qualified for the European competition again after a year, although it was the Europa League instead of the Champions League.
But for Leeds City, which is not a wealthy club, this result is already very good.
The club even gave him a new contract and extended it for another three years to show their satisfaction with Clark's work.
Clark has signed the contract, and it is a coach's happiness to be able to work in a club where the top management supports him.
It's just that Clark still feels sorry for Hulay's departure. He even imagined that if Hulay had not left, maybe he would not be standing in the stands of the Champions League final today, but in the coaching bench on the sidelines.

"The King of Madrid has been very aggressive during this period, especially Melli, who has been very active!"
While He Feng was talking, Merry got the ball again.
He takes the ball with his back to the attacking direction.
While catching the ball, knock the football behind you.
The ball passed under the crotch of the Madrid Pirates left back Ion Martinez who was defending him!
Melly turned and sprinted!
He is as flexible as a loach!
As a fast full-back, Ion's turning speed is actually not slow, but compared with Melly, it is still slow.
When he turned around, Melly had already shaken him off and was about to cut from the side to the center.
At this moment, Tonini, the left midfielder who was returning to defense, rushed forward and knocked Melli to the ground as he cut inside.
The referee's whistle sounded along with the boos.
"Tonini committed a foul! In the 12th minute of the game, the Kings of Madrid got a free kick in the frontcourt!"
This was actually just an ordinary foul, but the players of the Madrid Kings immediately gathered around. Some of them made trouble for Tonini who had committed the foul, while others put pressure on the referee, hoping to give Tonini a yellow card.
If the referee resists their pressure, then Tonini may take the initiative to apply for a yellow card if he is provoked and loses his composure.
This is also part of the Champions League final experience.
However, when Tonini faced the provocation from the Kings players, he shouted fiercely but did not make any hand movements - this was one of the experiences of the Pirates players in their confrontation with the Kings.
So the Kings players were busy in vain.
The referee did not give Tonini a yellow card because of this foul - the final had only started twelve minutes, and such a foul was not worthy of a yellow card at all.
However, fans from both sides in the stands started yelling at each other excitedly.
The commentators were also very excited:
"This is the derby! The first Madrid derby in the history of the Champions League final! It is said that finals have never been famous since ancient times, but with the addition of the Madrid derby, maybe this game will become a 'famous game'?"
※※ ※
The referee did not give Toni a yellow card, and both sides began to prepare for the free kick attack and defense.
Tonini's foul occurred in the ribs transitioning from the wing to the center. The straight-line distance from the goal is about 312 meters.
The Madrid Pirates arranged for four players to form a wall, while the others mixed with the Kings' offensive players in the penalty area.
On the Kings side, the two midfielders Dudu Carlos and Albin Eström stood in front of the football, and both of them can take free kicks.
After the whistle sounded, Dudu passed the football towards the goal with his left foot, but the height was not high enough. The football hit the wall and was cleared by Madrid Pirates defender Riva Moreno who was in the wall.
But at this moment, the referee suddenly blew the whistle to pause the game, and at the same time firmly pointed his hand... at the penalty spot!
"Eh?!" He Feng was shocked, "What happened? The referee awarded a penalty kick?!"
The scene was also in an uproar!
The Pirates players spread their hands with a puzzled look on their faces, while the Madrid Kings players cheered.
When everyone was still a little confused, the TV broadcast promptly slowed down the video.
Through slow-motion replay, you can see the football bouncing off the Madrid Pirates wall.
At first, some people speculated whether a handball was caused by a player in the wall of Madrid Pirates. However, after watching the slow motion, they found that the football hit the body of the player in the wall and there was no handball.
The football bounced down and landed in the penalty area, and both sides competed for the ball.
During the scramble, Cerrados and Moreno fought together, and Moreno was the first to clear the ball.
But while he was making a rescue, his open arm hit Cerrados in the face!
Yes, he kicked forward, waved back, and then gave Cerrados a firm slap in the face as he pressed forward to grab the ball...
Cerrados, who was hit, covered his face and fell in the penalty area.
Only then did everyone know why the king's captain suddenly fell down just now...
There's nothing to say. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, if you swing your arm and hit someone, it's a foul.
After all, rounding the arm and swinging it out cannot be regarded as a "normal and reasonable" defensive action in the eyes of the referee.
"...This is really..." After watching the slow playback, He Feng was speechless, "Moreno is an experienced defender after all. He really shouldn't open his arms at this time..."
"Actually, Moreno acted subconsciously. The main reason was that Cerrados was too active and quickly posted..." Yan Kang defended Moreno.
But regardless of justification or not, the penalty cannot be changed.
Moreno pointed at himself and appealed to the referee, indicating that he did not do it on purpose. The referee ignored him and went straight to the penalty spot.
At this moment, the sky above the center court was filled with boos.
Both the Madrid Pirates fans and the Kings fans were booing.
The former believe that this penalty should not be awarded - their reason is the same as Moreno himself, they believe that if it was not intentional, it should not be awarded.
The latter thought that the referee only awarded a penalty kick and did not give Moreno a yellow card!
This is a direct slap in the face to Cerrados!
As the main center back of the Madrid Pirates, if Moreno can receive a yellow card just twelve minutes into the game, then the Kings will be much easier to play in the next game.
But the referee only awarded a penalty kick without giving a card, which was equivalent to letting the Pirates off the hook.
Kings fans are naturally dissatisfied.
But their dissatisfaction quickly dissipated and they won a penalty kick after all.
On the other hand, the anger of the Pirates fans grew stronger and stronger. In the end, only the boos of the Pirates fans were left in the stands, mixed with the cheers of the Kings fans.
The head coaches of both sides also showed completely opposite states on the sidelines - after winning the penalty kick, Kings head coach Roy Wei raised his arms and shouted, already celebrating in advance.
Parotti first spread his hands to protest and appeal to the fourth official, and then returned to the coaching bench, shaking his head at his assistants. He was obviously dissatisfied with the penalty, but he had no choice but to complain.
, there will be no more extreme verbal actions.
He is truly a "good guy".
If Hantcek was the coach, I would probably have to fight with the fourth official...
Seeing that the result could no longer be changed, He Feng and Yan Kang sighed:
"The game only started ten...four minutes, and the Madrid Pirates were sentenced to death. For them who have no experience in the Champions League finals, this start is simply hell..."
Neutral commentators were very excited. For example, the British commentator Matthew Cox shouted excitedly: "Only fourteen minutes into the game, there has already been a penalty! If the King of Madrid can use this penalty to take the lead, Madrid will
Can the Pirates still play so steadily? If the Madrid Pirates also attack and encounter the Kings with sharp and direct offense... I don’t know how many goals there will be in this game!"
He is eager for a goal battle in this game. As for who wins the championship, he doesn't really care.
