As the players took the field and waited for the game to start, the lineups of Liverpool and Real Madrid also appeared in the broadcast footage in time.
Liverpool:(433)
Goalkeeper: Karius
Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson
Midfielder: Mo Yang, Henderson, Milner
Forwards: Salah, Ibrahimovic, Mane.
"For Liverpool, Klopp still arranged a 433 formation."
"Mo Yang played as a right center midfielder in this game, but fans who often watch Liverpool games know that Mo Yang's position is not fixed. Klopp gave him great freedom and he can appear in any position.
"
"And Liverpool's front line is not the Red Arrows of the Red Army. The starting player at the center position is not Firmino but Yin Bu."
"According to reports in the English media, Firmino seems to have a cold."
"Hehe!" Zhang Lu laughed when he heard Zhan Jun's words. "The key to this personnel change lies in Klopp's arrangements for Yin Bu. If he plays like Firmino, then Mo Yang's pressure will be relatively lighter.
.”
"On the other hand, if Yin Bu does not drop back in the midfield as frequently as Firmino does, then Mo Yang is likely to continue to travel between the front, middle and back three games. He needs to take on the task of supporting the striker. This pair of Mo Yang
Yang’s physical fitness will be a big test.”
Real Madrid:(4312)
Forward: Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema
Midfielder: Yinske
Midfielder: Kroos, Casemiro, Modric
Defenders: Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal
Goalkeeper: Navas
"Real Madrid's lineup is exactly the same as the lineup last season when they defeated Juventus and won the Champions League for the 12th time. There are no changes in personnel or formation."
"Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema partnered as a double striker, while Bell, Nacho and others sat on the bench."
"Beep!"
At 8:45 pm local time, with the whistle of referee Marzic, the peak showdown between Liverpool and Real Madrid officially kicked off.
"Okay, viewers, the game has begun. Welcome to watch the 2017-18 Champions League finals between Liverpool and Real Madrid brought to you by LeTV Sports."
"Whether it will be Real Madrid completing three consecutive championships or Liverpool winning the sixth Champions League trophy in team history, we will wait and see!"
"Watch your back!!"
"Watch your back!!!!"
Klopp stood on the sidelines and kept reminding the players on the court loudly.
Seeing that Real Madrid were as cautious as ever after the start and were not in a hurry to exert their strength, Klopp's heart immediately rose.
Klopp knows that Real Madrid's composure and late strike are the most terrifying.
It's like a cobra dormant in the thick grass, ready to give you a fatal bite at any time.
On the field, all Liverpool players were involved in the game. Everyone entered the game quickly and actively participated in pressing and attacking according to Klopp's pre-match arrangements, striving to increase the pace of the game and suppress Real Madrid.
This also led to a somewhat intense trend from the beginning of the game.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, took advantage of Liverpool's opportunity to attack. After receiving the ball, they quickly passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema behind Liverpool in an attempt to seek a quick counterattack.
In the second minute of the game, Liverpool suddenly formed a three-man siege on the left side of Real Madrid's half.
Yinbu, Milner, and Mane surrounded Casemiros and Modric.
Seeing that the ball was about to be lost, Casemiro turned around smartly and knocked the ball, directly blocking Milner behind him.
Casemiro resisted Milner on the right back and ran to the sideline, and then rushed to grab the ball before Robertson, trying to find Benzema in the frontcourt.
Seeing the ball rolling over, Benzema wanted to retreat to get the ball, but just after running a few steps, he saw a red figure suddenly jump out from the left front, poked his foot, and intercepted the ball very cleanly.
After Mo Yang successfully intercepted the ball, his speed did not slow down and he dribbled the ball directly towards the area in front of Real Madrid's arc.
When Salah, who had been in front of the top of the arc, saw Mo Yang coming, he immediately turned around and drilled into the rib area of the penalty area on the right side.
Because the two sides continued to compete in the left half, there was no one in the right half.
Salah's sudden start directly took away Marcelo beside him, and also restrained Ramos in the penalty area and did not dare to come out.
Therefore, Cross was the only one in front of Mo Yang.
As long as Mo Yang kills Kroos, he can directly choose a long shot or continue to break into Real Madrid's penalty area.
"The right half of Real Madrid's penalty area is a bit empty!"
"Chance!!!!!!"
Seeing this sudden change, He Wei and Xu Yang, who were providing commentary on the sports channel, stood up in excitement.
In front of Mo Yang, Cross lowered his center of gravity and backed away slowly, but when he saw Mo Yang rushing towards him without slowing down, he was a little at a loss and couldn't guess what Mo Yang wanted to do.
However, just when Kroos was hesitating, Mo Yang, who was running, suddenly stepped on the ball and turned around, pulling the ball back and forth with his left and right feet, performing a very fast Marseille spin.
Cross was caught off guard and tried to forcefully twist his body to keep up, but his feet suddenly slipped and he fell down awkwardly.
When the fans at the scene saw Mo Yang floating past Kroos and facing the Real Madrid goal, they all screamed in surprise.
“shot!!!!!!”
“shot!!!!!!”
“shot!!!!!!”
More than 20,000 Red Army fans were at the scene, tearing their necks and roaring.
The Real Madrid fans kept booing and wanted to use huge boos to disturb Mo Yang.
At the top of the arc, Mo Yang did not start as directly as the fans thought.
In other words, he didn’t have a chance to take off!
Because Modric had quickly rushed over from the left side of the ribs.
Mo Yang estimated the time. He felt that if he forced a long shot, there was a high probability that it would be blocked by Modric and Ramos who were blocking the front penalty area.
So he directly slowed down, and at this time Kroos behind him also climbed up and rushed up, trying to form a front-to-back attack with Modric to intercept the ball at Moyang's feet.
At the top of the arc, Mo Yang raised his foot and faked a shot as soon as Modric got close.
Modric couldn't believe it, but he had reservations about his blocking action.
Sure enough, when he saw Mo Yang's fake shot and real dunk move to the left to break through, he quickly changed his center of gravity, trying to turn around and follow up.
But the next second he turned around and saw Mo Yang dunking the ball back to the right.
Mo Yang's continuous spikes and changes of direction not only caused Modric to slip while changing his center of gravity, but also shook Kroos, who was rushing up from behind. At the same time, it also allowed him to temporarily break free from the front and rear pincers and gain a short kick.
Chance.
In the penalty area, when he saw Modric falling, Ramos couldn't wait any longer and immediately took a few steps forward to hit the top.
But his rich game experience allowed him to make the right choice.
Seeing that Ramos did not rush out of the penalty area, Mo Yang felt helpless.
He knew he couldn't wait any longer. Once Modric and Kroos joined again, he would have no chance at all.
So being forced, Mo Yang took the lead and kicked directly towards the right side of the goal.
"Shoot!!!!"
Seeing Mo Yang's shot, the 70,000 fans at the scene immediately let out a short exclamation.
"Oops, the ball went around Ramos, but not around Navas' fingers." Xu Yang explained loudly at the scene, with regret on his face.
Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines and looking eagerly, also waved his hands in annoyance.
Only Zidane looked content.
This kid is on the ball again!
It’s become even scarier!
Although he knew before the game through Liverpool's entire season's research that Mo Yang was getting stronger.
But seeing Mo Yang's series of breakthroughs on the spot, Zidane was still extremely frightened, feeling that he still underestimated this little monster.
"Lao Hu, are you sure the two players who were tricked just now are world-class midfielders? Why do I feel that they are so weak!"
The complaints from fake fans are the most deadly!
"Hahaha……!"
"This makes sense! Any midfielder is weak in front of Mo Yang!" Brother Hu and Yuan Hong looked at each other and burst into laughter.
This made Peng Yuyan look confused, "Did I say something wrong?"
"So spiritual! So smart! Tsk tsk!" Wei Qun also kept applauding. Mo Yang's wonderful performance made him dream back to his youthful days, and he actually felt as excited as when he first entered the professional arena.
"Two consecutive spikes back and forth changed direction. Not only did he successfully knock down Modric in front of him, he also led Kroos, who was following behind him, to the left. He then followed the trend to the right and escaped from the front and rear flanks."
Wei Qun exclaimed with admiration, "No one has this kind of super adaptability! And his seamless control of the ball with changing rhythms is even more amazing!"
"You still haven't seen enough!"
Fan Zhiyi smiled and said, "If you often watch Mo Yang's games, you will know that this kid is the kind of player who takes one step at a time and sees the next five steps. Sometimes you have to be hindsight to understand his thoughts."
