……

The emergence of the starting lineups of both sides of the game also means that the Champions League final, which is known as being staged in advance, is getting closer and closer.

The neutral fans are looking forward to it very much, while the respective fans are somewhat nervous.

Especially Bayern fans, the two legs of the Champions League quarter-finals last season are still vivid in their minds.

In the first round as a guest, there was no way to fight back. In the second round at home, they drew 1:1 with Arsenal, but Arsenal obviously stayed strong in that game. Relying on the big lead in the first round, they would not play with you at all, in order to control Competition is the main thing.

There was still an hour before the start of the game, and players from both teams went to the court to warm up.

The respective head coaches focused on the temporary tactical arrangements made for the opponent's starting lineup before the game.

For example, Arsenal's regular main left back is Monreal and the right midfielder is Theo Walcott.

In this game, the two were replaced by Gibbs and Gnabry respectively. Naturally, Ancelotti needs to make corresponding adjustments based on their technical characteristics.

In the same way, Bayern has recently used Muller as the attacking midfielder and Koeman as the left midfielder.

Affected by his age, Alonso has become a substitute this season. In this game, he replaced Thiago's partner Vidal.

Wenger also needs to make corresponding adjustments to the original tactics.

When the players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms to prepare for the start of the game, the Allianz Arena, which can accommodate 75,000 fans, was already full.

With about ten minutes left before the start of the game, the game preparation bell rang in the home and away team's locker room, reminding the two participating teams to prepare to go to the stadium for the next peak showdown.

In the player tunnel, the on-site director gave a close-up of the faces of the stars of both teams.

When it was given to Martin, he stayed the longest.

There is no doubt that he will be the key star in determining the outcome of this game.

Martin played against Bayern players many times during his time at Wolfsburg, and last season he played two games against Bayern on behalf of Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals.

I'm not friends with many players, but... I'm talking about old acquaintances.

Say hello to each other before the game and put friendship first before the game.

Sanchez and Vidal are teammates in the national team. Gnabry was appreciated by Loew for his outstanding performance at Arsenal, frequently entered the German national team, and has a good relationship with Bayern's German national team teammates.

Monreal, Bellerin, Xavi Alonso and Xavi Martinez are all Spaniards working outside, talking and laughing.

Van Dijk has a brief exchange with big brother Robben.

Bayern players are quite wary of Martin, so when playing at home, they have to exchange a few pleasantries and show their friendship as a landlord.

Robben, who had chatted with Van Dijk for a few words, took the initiative to find Martin and talked about the things that happened at this stadium two years ago, and they laughed knowingly.

Only Neuer felt a little upset when he saw Martin.

Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at Martin, who was wearing the captain's armband on his left arm, chatting and laughing with the Bayern players, and said with a smile: "What is international style? This is international style! I believe Martin will definitely perform well in the next games and contribute to us. A wonderful and peak showdown!”

Players on both sides who were familiar with each other exchanged a few awkward words, and the referee Marzic, who was holding a football, greeted everyone to enter the field.

Martin, who returned to the front of the team, turned around and scanned the team, clapped his hands vigorously to boost morale: "Brothers, let us defeat our opponent Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena."

"..."

The Bayern players were all speechless, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Martin keenly captured the facial expressions of the Bayern players, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took the ball boy's hand and followed the referee Marzic into the court.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the players' tunnel, reporters in the mixed areas on both sides kept pressing their shutters.

The live broadcast then played the exciting Champions League theme song.

Champions League

Ce sont les meilleures équipes

Es sind die allerbesten Mannschaften

The main event

……

Every time he hears this theme song, which is very religious, Martin feels like his blood is boiling, and he is in full state.

The staff centered in the middle circle of the stadium kept shaking the large Champions League logo in their hands to the rhythm of the music of "Champions League". Players from both sides entering the stadium faced the main stands and stood on both sides with the referee team as the center.

When the Champions League theme song ends, the regular game process will begin.

Martin led his teammates to shake hands with the referees and Bayern players respectively, demonstrating that friendship comes first in the game.

After a series of necessary pre-match rituals, players from both sides stood in their respective formations on half of the court, waiting for the referee Mazic's whistle.

※※※※※

"Dragon Kingdom TV, Dragon Kingdom TV, what we are broadcasting for you now is the live broadcast of the first leg of the 2016/2017 finals of the 1-8 UEFA Champions League between Bayern and Arsenal."

Central 5 commentator He Wei blurted out the fixed opening remarks: "The one wearing the golden jersey and blue and gray shorts is the visiting team Arsenal. They attack from the right side of the broadcast screen to the left. The one wearing the red jersey and white shorts It’s the home team Bayern Munich…”

Meanwhile, Cavani kicked the ball to Martin.

"uuuuuu——"

Over the Allianz Arena, the home fans suddenly booed subconsciously.

After receiving the football, Martin originally planned to make a transition before running forward. After hearing the constant boos, he decided to show off his high-end operations.

Facing Lewandowski, who was leading the way, he deftly used fried balls to break through from the left.

Ergou was particularly unhappy with Martin and rushed fiercely, seeming to have forgotten the defensive strategy that focused on stability that coach Carlo Ancelotti had arranged before the game.

Martin had long wanted to humiliate Egou. Seeing the opponent coming up aggressively, his right shoulder sank and the outside instep of his right foot moved the ball to the front right. Egou's eyes lit up and he stretched out his left foot to reach for it. Martin was fully Taking advantage of the high frequency of his feet, he suddenly used the inside of his instep to slam the ball forward to the left.

The football running close to the ground rolled right under Ergou's crotch, and then rushed past Ergou's weak side like lightning before anyone could react.

The boos on the court were interrupted for 0.5 seconds.

Martin passed Ergou, and Bayern exposed a large breakthrough gap in the middle.
