424 Extreme Bombardment!

The Allianz Stadium in Munich is cheering and shaking the sky!

"The 2011-2012 European Champions League final was held today at the Allianz Stadium in Munich!

The two teams that came to the peak matchup of the Champions League are Hamburg in Germany and Chelsea in England!

Both teams have beaten defending champion Barcelona in the Champions League this season, so it is well deserved to be able to stand on the final stage!

Hamburg reached the Champions League final again 29 years later, while Chelsea reached the Champions League final for the second time since 2008!

It is hard to say that these two teams have a foundation in the Champions League. No matter who wins the final victory and wins the trophy, it will be a new page in the history of the Champions League.

The following is a list of starting positions for both sides today.

Chelsea started 451 today.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Bosingwa, Cahill, David Louis, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: Karau, Mikel, Mata, Lampard, Bertrand.

Forward: Drogba.

There are also players such as Maluda, Torres, Essin, Ferrera, Romeu and other players on the bench at any time.

Hamburg drew away today, and their starting lineup was 433.

Goalkeeper: Navas.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Boateng, Matuidi.

Midfielder: De Bruyne, Kante, Rakitic.

Forwards: Griezmann, Giroud, Reus.

Sure enough, Situ Yunbing unexpectedly listed Giroud as the starting center in the final stage of the season, while Aubameyang, Son Heung-min, Paulinho, DeMer, Matison and Westman sat on the bench!

Before the game, many media made predictions about the Champions League final. Many media's view is that this final will be very conservative and boring. Chelsea is best at defensive counterattacks. Hamburg plays more defensive counterattacks than proactive attacks in the Champions League this season, so Hamburg will also have a high probability of defensive counterattacks.

But I hope the game will be more intense and exciting. In any case, this is a Champions League final. Let us enjoy this peak showdown together!"

With the referee's whistle whistle, Chelsea took the lead in kicking off, and the 2011-2012 European Champions League officially kicked off the curtain!

While Hamburg's formation was shrinking, the three forwards rushed through the midfield and carried out a crazy counter-attack, completely in a stance that they had no temptation with their opponents.

After Lampard and Mata passed the ball to each other, they could not find a good route to pass the ball forward, so they passed the ball back to Bosingwa on the back line, who passed the ball to the front court with a big foot when Reus was still pressing.

Drogba rushed to compete for the football landing point, but the ball was a bit big when stopping, causing Kant to quickly break out from the side and cut the ball down accurately.

Hamburg obtained the ball rights and began to organize the offensive. Chelsea's formation quickly recovered. It seemed that even though they took the lead, they had made the defensive awareness earlier than Hamburg.

After stopping the ball on the left side of the center circle, Rakitic was counterattacked by Mata. He knocked the ball back to Matuidi. When the defense gradually pressed forward, he overwhelmed the ball to the right. Azpilicueta seemed to assist without restraint.

Today, the young player Bertrand, as the starting player, was a little nervous when facing Azpilicueta's impact. Azpilicueta quickly completed the pass and cut with De Bruyne in front of him and then killed Bertrand's defense from the outside.

Hamburg attacked extremely strongly from the right!

After entering the offensive dangerous area, Azpilicueta saw that Lampard had a tendency to assist in the defense of the wing, and he quickly passed the ball to the right in front of the penalty area, without giving Ashley Cole a chance to defend.

Griezmann received a back-to-back shot from the penalty area line, and then turned around and penetrated David Louis behind him.

Giroud in the middle also made a slant pass and sent the ball to the line where Griezmann was inserted forward.

David Louis turned around and fell to the ground to intercept him, and he poked the ball out of the bottom line!

"Wow! Hamburg almost created a threatening shot at the beginning. If Griezmann and Giroud collided with the wall, then Griezmann would definitely be able to directly form a shot!

David Luis's fall-off interception is very critical. It can be seen that Chelsea's defense is very vigilant today. At the same time, Hamburg's investment in offense is beyond imagination. The full-back assisted significantly at the beginning of the game!"

Situ Yunbing, who was calm and decent, had the requirement for the team at the pre-match preparation meeting that he had to rush to Chelsea's defense line without any effort during the game!

If they are consumed by each other, then time is likely to be gone!

The tactical requirement is to attack the whole way after the game, at least Chelsea cannot take action to counterattack!

It is obvious that Bertrand's side is the target of better impact!

Hamburg took a tactical corner kick, and Griezmann passed the ball to De Bruyne who came to meet him, and then Griezmann quickly ran into the penalty area. He ran a semi-arc trajectory and first returned to the position that was not offside. Then when De Bruyne encountered a press, De Bruyne kicked a straight pass close to the bottom line of the penalty area.

Griezmann rushed out from behind Lampard. Due to the consistency of the running, when the Chelsea players reacted, no one could keep up with him as soon as possible!

Griezmann knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area before the bottom line in the penalty area and went to the right.

Chelsea made up for the defense line in front of the goal and turned around and saw Kanter shooting from a long shot!

Football flew straight to the stands!

This long-range shot was not good, but Hamburg's aggressive attack attitude after the opening game was already deeply rooted in people's hearts in just 2 minutes!

Di Matteo still looked calm and at Camp Nou and Stamford Bridge, he had experienced even more terrifying moments, which was a mad attack from Barcelona!

It is undeniable that the pressure brought to the opponent when Messi takes the ball is incomparable to other players.

But it does not mean that Hamburg's offense is not threatening.

When Chelsea thought they had recovered from the sudden attack of their opponents after the opening, they found themselves wrong, and Hamburg's performance after the opening was more like a warm-up!

The three forwards were raving in the midfield and frontcourt, and Chelsea, who had weak positional combat capabilities, could only launch a long pass in the midfield and backcourt!

There are many reasons why Chelsea is not favored by the outside world. Intuitively speaking, their core offensive point is only one, that is Drogba. Drogba can almost only fight alone when fighting counterattacks. It is not realistic to expect 34-year-old Lampard to rush forward in time to respond, and Mata is not a star in the fast-speed category. After all, only Karau may be able to assist Drogba, and Bertrand, who Dimatio sent to the field today, may also be expected, but after the opening game, Hamburg attacked the right side first, first of all, made Bertrand tremble and had no free energy to devote himself to the attack!

With Karau and Drogba alone, Chelsea's chances of winning really don't look high, especially Drogba is also 34 years old. Karau is at his peak, but his limitations of his strength make him look nothing special at the peak.

Chelsea's long pass in the backcourt was naturally looking for Drogba. When Drogba took the lead in occupying the football landing point, Van Dijk rushed up with a strong and resolute look on his face. When the two of the same figure collided together to fight fairly, the two were bounced away by the interaction force!

Drogba's move to stretch his legs and trying to stop the ball was naturally affected, but the ball stopped directly!

Van Dijk stepped forward and got stuck in the position to cut off Drogba's connection with football, and then sent the ball out with another diagonal pass.

Hamburg's backcourt defense was successful!

Van Dijk and Drogba looked at each other, like the change of an era!

De Bruyne touched the ball in the right side of the center circle and took two steps back to the drift. When Mata stepped forward to press, De Bruyne half turned around and passed the ball diagonally to the left of the center circle. Rakitic just stopped the ball and encountered Mikel's press. He poked the ball forward like a dragonfly.

Mikel turned around and looked at it. What caught his eye was that Reus took the initiative to lean towards the middle lane and successfully responded. Lampard did not dare to go up and rob, for fear that the back line would lack a barrier, so he retreated to sit in the middle lane in front of the penalty area.

After dribbling forward for 10 yards, Reus immediately hit the ball across the right side because Bosingwa turned into the middle to press and intercept Reus!

Although the football that rolled to the right seemed to be controlled by Bertrand, Griezmann retreated to the position before him and walked back!

Bertrand immediately turned to chase, looking a little blind. Griezmann turned halfway and swept the ball to the side. Ashley Cole just followed Griezmann and caused a gap on the side. Azpilicueta rushed up at lightning speed to meet the ball and cross it!

Football flew straight to the middle in front of the goal. Terry sat in the stands for the suspension today to watch the game. David Louis and Cahill guarded the back line. Giroud was not in physical confrontation with these two people, but his experience and ability may be a little short of time.

After David Luis interfered with Giroud, Cahill rushed to the header to clear the ball!

Although the Hamburg offensive seemed fierce, it had not really put pressure on Cech.

The football that Cahill cleared was just stopped by Mikel. Before Mikel could change direction, Kanter unexpectedly broke out and directly intercepted the ball!

Kanter has a very wide coverage today!

He was given high enough freedom by Situ Yunbing. On the one hand, he had no physical advantage in defending Drogba, and on the other hand, his speed even if he started chasing back in the frontcourt, except for Karau, he had enough speed to catch up with both Mata and Lampard!

Kante intercepted the ball and dribbled forward two steps. When facing Lampard, Kante knocked the ball back diagonally to De Bruyne who was in front of the penalty area. The latter directly sent out a straight pass to the middle of the penalty area.

Giroud, who was actively retreating, took advantage of the situation and made a ball to Reus, who was on the left side of the penalty area. The latter rushed forward and dribbled into the left side of the penalty area!

Bosingwa lost him!

Cahill and David Louis immediately adjusted their defense, while Reus shot from the left side of the penalty area!

He grabbed the ball to the near corner, but unexpectedly, Cech responded quickly and saved the ball from the bottom line!

Reus breathed a sigh of exclamation at the Allianz Stadium, but Reus did not breathe, and ran to the corner kick area to prepare for a corner kick.
Chapter completed!
