Chapter 1117: .1117 difference!

Ukraine, Kiev, Olympic National Stadium.

The starters of Liverpool and Arsenal walked into the stadium with a heroic caddie.

The momentum on the scene rose a bit more!

Amid the deafening noise, the kick-off ceremony before the Champions League final was presented to all the audience!

"Good evening, friends and spectators! Welcome to follow the camera to the Olympic National Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine!

The 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League final will be staged here!

The two teams that have reached the Champions League final this season are Liverpool and Arsenal from England!

The situation where two Premier League teams reached the Champions League final at the same time happened ten years ago. What's interesting is that the final was staged in Moscow, Russia, neighboring Ukraine!

Ten years ago, Manchester United and Chelsea competed for the Champions League, which symbolized the prosperity of the Premier League of that era!

Ten years later, Liverpool and Arsenal compete for the Champions League title, which also represents the arrival of another Premier League glory!

Liverpool have won the title four times in the past four seasons. If they win the championship today, they will equal the five consecutive Champions League titles created by Real Madrid. At the same time, they will become the first team in European football history to win 10 Champions League titles in total!

Compared to Real Madrid’s five consecutive championships more than half a century ago, the difficulty for Liverpool to win four consecutive championships today has surpassed the era when Real Madrid crowned the crown. If Liverpool can claim the Champions League crown for five consecutive years, it can definitely be awarded to Liverpool. The honor of an all-time best team!

Arsenal entered the Champions League final as a dark horse this year. The last time they were able to reach the Champions League final was 12 years ago. The Arsenal led by stars such as Henry, Campbell and Pires unfortunately lost to Barcelona and Klopp in the final. Can you lead Arsenal to the first Champions League in club history today?

Let us look at the starting players of the two teams.

Liverpool started 433.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Arnold, Van Dijk, Coulibaly, Robertson.

Midfielder: Kanter, Eriksson, Casemiro.

Forwards: Mbappe, Lewandowski, Sane.

There is nothing surprising about Liverpool's starting lineup. They came up with the strongest lineup to face the Champions League final.

Arsenal's start is also 433.

Goalkeeper: Karius.

Defenders: Bellerin, Koscielny, Lovren, Chambers.

Midfielder: Milner, Ramsey, Wijnaldum.

Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Arsenal also ranked their strongest lineup in today's final!

Situ Yunbing and Klopp are passionate in every confrontation. Can today's Champions League final present a more exciting and shocking experience than before?

Let's wait and see! "

The starters of Liverpool and Arsenal set their formations in their respective half after the kick-off ceremony before the match.

Confident Liverpool is obviously better than Arsenal in momentum.

Klopp once said in the pre-match press conference that whenever and wherever he encounters Liverpool, it will be a tough fight, hard fight, it will be very difficult!

Meeting Liverpool in the Champions League final will only be more difficult!

The reason is simple, Liverpool played too many finals!

Situ Yunbing coached Liverpool for 6 years, but even if the time span is calculated based on 10 years, no team in European football today has more experience than Liverpool's finals!

The game hasn't started yet, just look at the temperament displayed by the players of the two teams and then the judgment will be made.

With the referee's whistle, Liverpool and Arsenal's Champions League final officially began!

Arsenal, who took the lead in the kick-off, immediately launched a fast break. Ramsey and Wijnaldum sent the ball to the front right after a quick pass from the midfield.

Arsenal can enter the Champions League final because their striker trident is very efficient. If you only look at the number of individual goals, Arsenal’s goals without a striker are ranked in the top five, but if you look at the striker trident’s score Number of balls, then they rank second!

The first is Liverpool!

But in terms of the number of individual goals, Messi and Ronaldo have scored too many goals, so no player in Arsenal can score in the top five.

Salah leaped on the right side of the frontcourt to move forward quickly, Casemiro quickly assisted in defending the wing, Kanter stayed in the middle, Salah finished off Robertson in the change of direction of the ball. "Egypt Messi" did have an inside cut on the right. When Casemiro was about to kill, Salah shortly passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Firmino took the initiative to catch the running position before Coulibaly and made a transitional diagonal pass of the ball. The football was sent to the right side of the penalty area, and Salah swiftly killed Coulibaly!

Near the bottom line, Salah made a pass to Mane who was looking for a long distance.

Although Mane cut from the left to close to the bottom line, although he received Salah's pass, it was difficult to pass Van Dijk or expand the shooting angle.

Mane kicked the ball with his left foot to the outside line and immediately kicked the shot!

The volleyed football went straight to the corner of the goal. Although Van Dijk focused on blocking the outside line, he was indeed unable to block the inside line. The football shot by Mane was directly hugged by Ter Stegen in front of the left goal post.

There is no threat.

But at any rate, the Arsenal team played very successfully!

"After the opening, the first wave of Arsenal's offensive was completed! What a surprise!

Although it did not turn the chance into a goal in the end, it was after the first wave of offensive that the goal was completed. Arsenal was not considered to have almost no chance of winning like before the game! "

The final match between Liverpool and Manchester City is somewhat unlike a confrontation between English teams.

But the battle with Arsenal will definitely bring the style of the Premier League team to the fullest.

Fast pace, high confrontation!

Situ Yunbing was not surprised by this, because after all, Klopp is not as ingenious as Guardiola in the technical and tactical system. He pays more attention to the individual players of the team.

Exerting the energy of each player to the limit, under a proper system without a special system, they can exert a strong combat effectiveness.

Whether in Dortmund or Arsenal, his team will give people a feeling that even if every player is doing their best, every player is doing their best!

This is exactly why his team is considered passionate.

When Liverpool began to attack, Arsenal quickly withdrew while also fighting fiercely behind the center circle.

When Casemiro was in possession of the ball, he was quickly hit by Firmino. Fortunately, Casemiro quickly passed the ball diagonally to the left.

When Sane was in possession of the ball, Bellerin watched the changes, but Salah's press after he came to himself made Sane a little surprised, because the opponent returned too quickly!

Klopp's team is more able to achieve the same rhythm as the whole team. When the wing needs to be defensive, the winger is absolutely in place and will not look at the frontcourt.

Sane forced a crosscut and encountered Milner. In the crack, Sane made a short pass to the center of the penalty area.

Lewandowski could only knock the ball back to Eriksson under the pressure of Wijnaldum, and the latter sent the ball to the penalty area without waiting for Ramsey to get close. Forward to the right.

Mbappe, who cut in place, passed the ball at the same time!

The football passed to the right side of Lovren's body, and he quickly ran from the left to kill it!

Although Lovren was very vigilant, he turned around to seize the position for the first time, but Mbappe's speed caught him off guard, so Lovren turned back to the inside to block Mbappe's shooting angle.

When Mbappe regained possession of the ball in the right side of the penalty area, he pretended to shoot directly and shook Lovren's center of gravity. He smashed the ball and then looked for an angle. Lewandowski cut forward and was pressed by Koscielny. Defensively, Mbappe didn't have more room to play, and Sane did not run out of the distance inside the cut!

Mbappe made a pass fake when Lovren turned around to grab the ball, but knocked the ball back to the front of the baseline, passed the right foot and kicked the goal!

The football flew to the near corner of the goal, I saw the goalkeeper Karius quickly moved to block the ball out of the baseline with both palms!

"Mbappe's shot was blocked by Carrius! Liverpool got a corner kick.

Just now Mbappé has passed Lovren twice in the Arsenal defense zone, which is very exciting!

First the ball was divided, then the fake fax was passed, and Lovren was passed twice!

Can Arsenal withstand Liverpool's mad attack? "

Klopp frowned slightly on the sidelines because Carius blocked the ball from the baseline!

It stands to reason that Mbappe's shot is almost exactly the same as Mane's shot before!

The same angle, the same position, just one in the left side of the penalty area, and one in the right side of the penalty area!

But the goalkeeper's performance was different. Ter Stegen could hold the ball smoothly, but Carius sent the ball out of the baseline and gave Liverpool a corner kick!

This may only be a slight difference, but the actual opportunity is very different!

Ter Stegen can directly instigate Liverpool’s attack by holding the football. Carius blocked the ball from the baseline but allowed Liverpool to get a corner kick. The ball is still at Liverpool's feet. Can it be the same?

Klopp did not have any premonitions, except that it was the first time that Karius played such an eye-catching final that would be a little nervous, and the pressure factor cannot be ignored.

Liverpool took a tactical corner kick, Arnold received Eriksson's pass from the front side, and was forced by Mane. Arnold quickly slid the ball into the right side of the penalty area.

Fast forward Mbappe almost succeeded in countering offside. Fortunately, the Arsenal defense did not take the risk of taking offside tactics. Defender Koscielny ran all the way and took the lead in physical confrontation with Mbappe, making Mbappe unable to touch the ball. When he took possession of the ball, he bumped the ball out of the baseline because his center of gravity was unstable.

Klopp did his best to thoroughly study Liverpool’s play style before the game. Like this tactical corner kick, Liverpool basically has three styles of play. They either move to the penalty area and play long shots, or suddenly pass through the ball. The opponent's defense line is caught off guard, or it is to hang the penalty area and catch the opportunity of the opponent to stare at the leaker!

Klopp and his Arsenal are definitely paying unprecedented attention to this Champions League final, and they have done enough preparations!
