The referee Howard Webb also has a bald head. After the famous Italian bald referee Collina retired, Webb became the most famous bald whistler. His two linesmen are Michael Malarkey and Darren Kahn.
The fourth official is Martin Atkinson. These three enforcers are also from England. They are also one of the alternative enforcement teams for this year's World Cup semi-finals or finals.
With the whistle of "Bald Sheriff" Webber, the Europa League final officially began. The reason for this nickname is that in addition to international football referees, Webber also has a part-time job. He is a police officer in Yorkshire, England.
of Sheriff.
The whistle sounded, and the Nordbank Arena in Hamburg, which accommodated 50,000 people, burst into cheers. Amid the cheers of the fans, Berg kicked the ball to Ruud van Nistelrooy, who then passed the ball back to Chen Zhuo outside the center circle. The Hamburg team
Begin planning to launch the first attack.
Flores remained standing next to the bench from the beginning. As soon as the game started live, the camera quickly showed a close-up of Flores. Flores frowned and looked very nervous.
(two)
That's because Flores noticed something was wrong as soon as he came up. There were all kinds of things wrong. Hamburg indeed had 11 starting players on the roster announced before the game, but why did this position look weird!
After serving the ball in the center circle, Van Nistelrooy moved to the top of the arc in the penalty area, but Berg ran to the left wing. Why, didn't Berg always hold the top of the arc in the penalty area and help Van Nistelrooy with the ball by fighting for the top? How did he run?
I went to the wing. It seems that there is no example of a Swede playing on the wing in my memory!
And Elia, the Dutchman who is good at using his left foot switched to the right wing. Tunai Torun, who is good at using his right foot, moved to the left midfielder position. The full midfielder switched to the reverse foot position and actually played this
A tactical routine where the winger goes against his feet, or the two forwards go against his feet!
Platini also turned his head and pointed at Beckenbauer, who was sitting one seat away, as if he was also exchanging opinions on Hamburg's lineup. Loew actually took out a pen and paper in the first minute and started writing.
Painting records.
After all, it is the finals, and there is a lot going on on and off the court.
"The winger's reverse-footed style is actually not a particularly new tactic. Robben of the Netherlands and England's Joe Cole are both typical examples of the winger's reverse-footed style. The left-footed Elia was originally the same in the Dutch Cup.
Created as a template by Robben, in this arrangement, the winger does not pass the ball in the traditional tactics, but cuts in about 35 meters from the bottom line, dribbles the ball laterally and creates a goal opportunity..." He Wei said to the audience
They are interpreting.
Whether it's fresh or not is relative. If it's against Bayern Munich, everyone knows that Robben is left-footed and will play as a right midfielder. Everyone knows that when he gets the ball, he doesn't go down to the ball but cuts across and shoots at an angle.
Making a defensive arrangement targeting surnames is nothing new.
For Atletico Madrid, they did not prepare the Hamburg team to play such a tactic of the full midfielder cutting inside, and it was also a bilateral midfielder cutting inside!
After receiving Chen Zhuo's through ball, Elia made a move, then moved his left foot horizontally and cut inward. Midfielder Thiago followed Elia closely, paying attention to blocking the angle to prevent Elia from letting go.
If there is a chance to kick, the long-haired iron guard Uyfalusi is also ready to fill the position at any time.
Seeing that there was no chance, Elia crossed with his left foot and passed diagonally to the left...
(three)
Berg used his body to hold Atletico Madrid's right back Perea and protected the ball within his control. He looked up and observed. Perea squeezed from behind, but Berg didn't move at all...
Flores frowned even more. Isn't this the "powerful winger" tactic used by the boy born in the 1990s in the previous games? He actually asked Sweden's little Ibrahimovic to play this tactic today!
Gasson's attempt has achieved results, and it will naturally continue. Therefore, Berg actively accepted the role of this "powerful winger" in this week's training, from "tactical core" to "transit hub" and then to "
"Powerful winger", "Little Ibrahimovic" Berg is now also able to integrate a variety of offensive routines into Hamburg's offensive system.
After taking control, Berg did not rashly break inside, but passed back to the left midfielder Tunai Torun, just like Elia easily got rid of the opponent's full midfielder Jurado on the right, Tunai.
Torun cut inward laterally to get rid of Raul Garcia without any particular effort. Facing midfielder Paul Assuncao, Tunai Torun bucked his right foot and accelerated suddenly...
"Toot~~~" Paul Assuncao knocked down Tunai Torun, foul!
Less than a minute into the game, "Bald Sheriff" Weber awarded Hamburg a free kick in the frontcourt. The straight-line distance between the ball and the goal was only about 22 meters...
At this time, Flores has completely understood the Hamburg team's intentions...
The back-foot tactics of the left and right midfielders changed from bottom to inside, and Berg changed from a transitional hub in the middle to a powerful winger on the wing. Various tricks that Atletico Madrid players were unable to adapt to in a short period of time concealed a real purpose.
That is, using the characteristics of defensive midfielder Paul Assuncao, who has a large range of movements and is prone to fouls and cards, to find a firing position for their super cannon!
Fortunately, the referee did not show a yellow card. Otherwise, he would have been fighting with a yellow card for more than a minute after the opening. It would have been difficult to deal with in the following time. 22 meters... this distance is too close! It is in the penalty area.
About six meters outside the line, the Chinese had scored a penalty at twice the distance! Flores couldn't help but have a headache.

"Are you sure you don't need to show the red and yellow cards, Mr. Sheriff?" Chen Zhuo ran to the spot where the foul was committed, holding the ball and greeting the referee.
The referee nodded and understood what Chen Zhuo meant, and asked: "Are you going to choose to shoot quickly and not wait for the whistle?"
Chen Zhuo quickly put the ball away and asked, "Is there no problem if I put it here?"
The referee made a signal to serve and quickly backed away.
Flores on the sidelines discovered the exchange between Chen Zhuo and the referee. At this time, in the penalty area, goalkeeper De Gea was holding the goal post and directing his teammates to stand on the wall. Captain Fran was facing De Gea.
Ya called on his teammates to move left and right to block the angle, and the Atletico Madrid players pushed away the Hamburg players who were trying to build a wall one by one, but no one stood in front of the ball, so it was probably better to take the free kick.
What you gain is less and what you eat is less.
"Hey! Go up and stop him, don't let him hit!" Flores shouted as he rushed from the bench to the sidelines. He wished he could rush over and hug Chen Zhuo's legs!
Chen Zhuo took two or three steps back and after a short run-up, he shot with his right foot seemingly casually!
De Gea, who was concentrating on arranging the wall, found that the crowd that had just been lined up suddenly dispersed, running around like a flock of sheep. When he was confused, he noticed something flying from the top towards the far corner of the goal...
"Whoosh", there was a soft sound of the ball rubbing against the ball, and the ball hit the corner! The referee blew the whistle to indicate that the goal was valid, raised his hand to look at his watch, and the game started at 2 minutes and 15 seconds.

After scoring the goal, Chen Zhuo took off his jersey to reveal the vest underneath, and showed the words on the front of the vest to the Hamburg audience in the stands.
It's a very interesting German word, and its Chinese meaning is "No matter where I am, my heart will always be with you."
The commentator led the audience in the stands to chant Chen Zhuo's name over and over again through the live sound system. The commentator shouted "general" and the audience shouted "patton". After two or three times, the live sound system started ringing.
The sound of the charging horn, the band and fans on site will also play along with the sound, and the scene is extremely spectacular.
The camera panned to the rostrum. Hoffmann accepted the congratulations from the people around him with a cheerful face. He frequently shook hands and expressed thanks. The guests applauded and nodded. Platini turned his face sideways and gestured to Beckenbauer, as if
I asked Beckenbauer if he remembered the time when the two of them were players, when tens of thousands of people would shout their names in the stadium...
Karlheinz sighed with a sad tone: "Is this Patton saying goodbye to us? This should be a carnival moment, why is it filled with sadness of farewell? I want to say, no matter what, let us thank him
The goals and assists it brought us, the surprising moments it brought us..."
In another city in Germany, Heidi was watching the live broadcast alone in her room. If it hadn't been for a sudden change, would Patton have confessed to herself in this way after scoring a goal today for the whole world to witness?
How happy it would be to bless the love between two people.
Heidi shed tears silently, watching his game for the last time. Starting tomorrow, forget this person...can you do it?
When the live broadcast turned to the stadium, the referee had already shown a yellow card to Atletico Madrid captain Forlan, who was pestering him to the midfield. Flored also angrily ordered several players to catch Forlan and several others who were still chasing him.
The referee pulled the players back. It's useless to make such a fuss. Quickly stabilize your emotions. Don't let this sudden conceding of the ball affect your mentality!
1:0, this is a fantastic start for the Hamburg team playing at home.
There is also a number "10" displayed on the big screen. With this goal, Chen Zhuo has become the top scorer in this Europa League with 10 goals.
