On the evening of June 3, the 62nd Champions League final will be ignited at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales!

After a brief pre-match performance, former Welsh scorer and this Champions League final ambassador Ian Rush, holding the Big Ear Cup, slowly walked into the Millennium Stadium amid the cheers of fans all over the court, and placed the championship trophy at the exit of the player channel.

Then, the players of the two teams slowly walked out under the leadership of German referee Brich.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the field was pushed to Gao Chao, and thousands of fans on the scene were shouting wildly.

Since winning the Champions League in 1996, this season is Juventus' fourth time reaching the Champions League final, but the first three times ended in failure without exception, which makes them the team with the most losses in the history of the Champions League final.

Real Madrid has become the most successful team in the history of the Champions League. Not only has it entered the Champions League finals the most and won the most, but it has also had five consecutive championships and three consecutive championships later. Recently, it has been another three consecutive championships and is currently striving for four consecutive championships.

Everyone seemed to see Real Madrid's domination over European football. All opponents, even UEFA, were very troubled by this, hoping to limit Real Madrid and avoid a situation where they dominate.

But this season, Real Madrid is unstoppable in the Champions League, knocking down strong teams such as Naples, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid, showing an unstoppable side.

This also made everyone feel a headache because they couldn't beat Real Madrid openly on the football field.

As for the so-called conspiracy theories in some media, they basically won’t exist. Even if there is one, they won’t be too obvious, because over-the-counter suppression will inevitably seriously damage the authority and commercial value of the Champions League event.

Especially now, with the rising broadcast fees of Premier League, UEFA has also felt the crisis and is very worried that the European Super League will emerge again, so they are also trying every means to make the UEFA Champions League cake bigger and stronger.

Real Madrid, with superstars gathered, and Yang Yang, who has a strong popularity in Asia and North America, has undoubtedly become the best choice for UEFA.

More importantly, Real Madrid is so powerful that they really have no opponents in European football.

...

Real Madrid will play in a purple jersey tonight. The goalkeeper is Courtois, the defense is Marcelo, Xavi Martinez, Ramos and Carvajal, the midfield is Tony Kroos, Casemiro and Modric, and the frontcourt tridents are Hazard, Yang Yang and Suarez.

Juventus played tonight in a black and white shirt. The goalkeeper was the old goalkeeper Buffon, the defense was Sandro, Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzali, the double midfielder was Khdira and Pjanic, the frontcourt was Mandzuki, Dybala and Alves, and the center was Higuain.

Real Madrid's lineup is pretty good, with no personnel absent, but the goalkeeper's position was replaced by Courtois. A very important reason is that Juventus has two players with strong heading ability, Mandzuki and Higuain.

Courtois is tall and has a long legs, and has a higher and wider control range. Facing Juventus, who has obvious overall height advantages, he will be more confident. As for Navas, he can only sit on the bench.

Juventus also made adjustments, that is, in the right winger position, he did not choose the main player Quadrado, but chose veteran Daniel Alves, who has played for Barcelona for many years and is a staunch rival to Real Madrid and is very familiar with each other.

Also, at the right back position, Allegri did not choose Lichsteiner, but chose central defender Barzali.

Both teams have made adjustments and changes in the lineup, and they are obviously targeting the opponent, but in detail, we need to look at the players' positions and running positions in the game.

…………

…………

Real Madrid still pursues a safe tactic in this final.

Both Yang Yang and Zidane are very clear that Juventus is not as strong as Real Madrid and the bench is not as thick as Real Madrid. Allegri is likely to adopt the opening attack tactics to create some opportunities at the beginning.

In this case, Real Madrid does not need to fight head-on with their opponents, but should appropriately conquer and let their opponents fight.

Juventus and Atletico Madrid have many similarities, but there are also many differences. Whether it is such an opponent or the Champions League final, Real Madrid is very experienced. Yang Yang and Zidane have experienced too many such final battles. They are very clear about what their players and their opponents are thinking.

Therefore, Real Madrid is still looking for stability at the beginning, and first understand the opponent's tricks.

...

Sure enough, Juventus looks like a 4231 formation, but in fact, in the game, the Zebras adopted a tactic of three defenders, and the left back Sandro basically was in the midfield and frontcourt, and looked more like a wing attacking player, so there were only three defenders left in the backcourt.

This is also the reason why Allegri uses Barzali instead of Lichsteiner.

Not long after the opening, Sandro cooperated with Mandzuki on the left, and sent it to the front of the goal from the left. Higuain headed the ball from the front of the small penalty area, but was confiscated by goalkeeper Courtois.

Such a shot is hardly threatening Real Madrid's goal, and Courtois is very steady.

More than a minute later, Real Madrid's counterattack entered Juventus's penalty area. Bonucci tackled beautifully, intercepted the ball and quickly teleported it to the frontcourt. Alves made a cross from the right, and Higuain drew the ball from the outside 30 meters, but failed to get rid of Casemiro. He rushed to a long shot from 24 meters away.

Courtois once again performed steadily and held the ball in his arms.

Two minutes later, another long pass from Alves on the right was transferred, sending the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Mandzukichi quickly stepped forward, intercepted the ball in front of the baseline, and turned around and made a cross.

Xavi Martinez headed the ball in the penalty area and pushed the ball out of the penalty area, but Pjanic inserted it and volleyed after stopping the ball in his chest at the front of the penalty area.

The ball went straight to the lower left corner of the goal, but at the critical moment, Courtois swung sideways and saved the ball again.

In less than six minutes, Juventus made three consecutive shots, all of which threatened Real Madrid's goal, which also showed the determination and courage of the Serie A team, and also figured out Juventus' strategy.

They tried to start the game and even if they couldn't score a goal, they wanted to disrupt Real Madrid's rhythm. If they could win the lead, they would then adopt a tenacious and solid defense to curb Real Madrid's attack and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack and attack.

Real Madrid has had rich experience in dealing with such opponents and such strategies, so after Yang Yang saw the clues, he made a gesture with Modric and Tony Cross, and the team immediately made a little adjustment.

Soon, Juventus discovered that it was difficult for them to enter Real Madrid's 30-meter area.

...

Real Madrid's defensive strategy has also been adjusted tonight.

Yang Yang and Zidane both knew the characteristics of Juventus and studied their opponents very deeply. Therefore, Real Madrid's seemingly conservative retreat did not actually retreat into the 30-meter area, but more pressed from the mid-line to the 30-meter area.

It's pressing, not pressing.

Real Madrid's strategy is to press down, but not grab the ball, and the players do not leave the position easily. The focus of the defense is to cut off the players who run without the ball, and try to let Juventus get the ball and control the ball.

Before, Real Madrid also adopted such a tactic when facing Atletico Madrid, forcing it to not grab it, let Atletico Madrid control the ball, and then use the opponent's pass and catch mistakes to launch a counterattack and create a threat.

And everyone knows how sharp Real Madrid's quick counterattack is.

During the third shot, Pjanic appeared outside Real Madrid's penalty area. This was Real Madrid's defensive loophole, so Yang Yang quickly made adjustments, allowing Tony Kroos and Modric to pay attention to the protection of the front of the penalty area. Carvajal on the right basically did not step forward, and more to protect the wings.

From the sixth minute, Juventus found that his pass and receiving hit a wall after crossing the midfield, and it was difficult to pass from the midfield to the frontcourt. Whether it was Mandzukizi or Higuain, it was difficult to get the ball in the frontcourt.

Alves on the right, Dybala who retreated, and Pjanic who stepped forward were difficult to send the ball to the frontcourt player.

The area from the center line to Real Madrid's 30-meter halftime seemed to have become a minefield for Juventus to pass the ball, and they lacked effective means to pass the ball over.

Casemiro's role was played out at this time. He was more about oppression and pressing. Unlike Kante, he was like a rampage tank. No matter who the opponent took the ball, he would hit him immediately, but he was not good at intercepting the ball.

On the contrary, Kanter is short but very flexible and explosive. The French midfielder is better at intercepting the ball.

Originally, Juventus' attack strategy was to use the left and right wings, especially on the left, Mandzukichi and Sandro formed two wingers to form the number of players on the left and create opportunities. However, with Modric's retreat, Real Madrid steadily blocked Juventus' double-wing attack on the left.

Dybala and Pjanic were also restricted in the middle, and Alves on the right was also restrained by Marcelo. Juventus' entire attack was immediately in a dilemma, and it was difficult to create an effective opportunity to break into Real Madrid's 30-meter area.

This is also the confidence of Yang Yang and Zidane.

The reason why Real Madrid dares to take the lead and adopt the tactic of taking the lead is that they are very confident in the team's defense and believe that the team will not be easily scored by Juventus.

Once Real Madrid stabilizes their defense, then what follows is waiting.

Juventus controlled the ball at the beginning, but failed to score a goal for a long time, and even failed to pass into Real Madrid's 30-meter area. This made the Zebras have the ball rights, but they were secretly anxious.

They are not a team that is good at passing and controlling the ball. Once they have a lot of possession, they are more likely to make mistakes and don't know how to play.

Juventus' mistake is a chance for Real Madrid to counterattack.
