Dominate the Greenery

Chapter 388 Door Line
French local time on May 5.

The Stade de France, which was quite calm in the morning, became lively after lunch.

Although there are still six or seven hours before the final of the 51st European Champions Cup, a large number of Spanish fans have migrated since noon.

After 246 days and 124 games, the final in Paris, France, to commemorate the [-]th anniversary of the Champions League is about to start.

The two sides are the Spanish derby that UEFA officials are not happy to see, even if the match between the two teams is the Spanish national derby with the most influence.

The Stade de France is no stranger to players from both sides, especially Zidane, who won the Hercules Cup here, and Ronaldinho, who played for Paris Saint-Germain for two years.

"This is a contest between the core midfielders of the three eras, Zidane, Ronaldinho and Shrek. Zidane is elegant, Ronaldinho is flirtatious, and Shrek is tough. There are three styles, and they are also the three pillars of football development. stage."

"This is the fifth time Barcelona has entered the Champions League final. The only previous championship was in 1992. At that time, their opponent was Sampdoria, which was in full swing. Real Madrid No. 13 reached the final and won the championship nine times before. , The first championship was won in Paris, and that was also the first championship in the history of the Champions League. Since then, Real Madrid has monopolized an era, and no team can break the five consecutive championships."

Therefore, counting the glory of the two teams, Real Madrid may be even better.

But regardless of the past glory, this season has come to the present, and Barcelona finally no longer has to be catching up.The new Barcelona has begun to rise, and everyone can see their possible future glory.And almost the whole world knows that Real Madrid will not be able to continue next season. The Triple Crown is already the limit of their team. After the World Cup, the Galacticos will definitely collapse first, but that is a matter of the future.

Now, Real Madrid is playing against Barcelona, ​​and more than [-]% of fans believe that Real Madrid can win.

Yes, the limit is the treble, but now Real Madrid can reach the limit.

Perhaps Barcelona will have a brighter future, but today, in the summer of 2006, people all over the world are expecting Real Madrid to win the treble.

From the Copa del Rey to the league championship, and now, Real Madrid may have ups and downs, but for this final championship, they did their best and were stable enough, even if they exposed various problems during this period.

Carlo did not make self-righteous adjustments when arranging the starting lineup. After nearly half a month of adjustments, he can form a healthy main lineup.

Casillas, Cicinho, Ramos, Herguera, Carlos, Gravesen, Beckham, Sherry, Zidane, Raul, Ronaldo, a variable 451, Real Madrid has insisted Most of the season.

Compared with the healthy and complete Real Madrid lineup, Rijkaard thought a lot more when he chose to start. He even ruled out Messi at the last moment. This young man who may be Barcelona's future hope did not enter the squad in the end.In the choice of Deco's partner, because of Harvey's injury, Rijkaard chose his compatriot Van Bommel, and Iniesta, who was very popular, was finally placed on the bench.

Barcelona's starting lineup is: goalkeeper Valdes, defenders Oleg, Marcos, Puyol, Van Bronckhorst, midfielders Deco, Edmilson, Van Bommel, strikers Giuly, Eto'o, Ronaldo Aldinho.

Except for a few surprises, the starting lineup didn't surprise people much.The commemorative activities started at [-]:[-] p.m., with Beckenbauer, Michel Platini and other European football celebrities present to watch the match. It is reported that Michel Platini, the chairman of this year's World Cup technical team, will participate in the UEFA presidential election next year. But looking at his interaction with Johansson on the scene, there is no gap at all.

The competition is about to start after a series of cabaret performances.

When players from both sides entered the stadium, the Stade de France was already full.The opponents are so familiar, and so are the fans. For Xie Rui, the only thing he is unfamiliar with is the stadium.

After learning about Barcelona's roster, Xie Rui felt a little regretful. In his memory, Barcelona is incomplete without Messi and Iniesta, but obviously, at this time, the two have not yet settled down as the main players. qualifications.

"Aside from the duel between Zidane and Ronaldinho, the focus of this game should be Shrek."

Two years ago, when Xie Rui learned that he could not stay in the team, he may have been disappointed and regretted, but finally left La Masia peacefully. But now, most of his former teammates are sitting in front of the TV watching the game, but he is standing in front of the TV. Opposite Barcelona.

Although he downplayed his relationship with Barcelona, ​​every time he played against Barcelona, ​​he would have too many memories.But it's good now, Messi and Iniesta can't play, and the others don't have much friendship with him.In the battle of life and death, it is necessary to feel like a land of life and death.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Real Madrid got an excellent opportunity. After Xie Rui scored the ball from the center, he quickly moved forward, but the football did not return to his feet. The ball goes over the top, and then two quick kicks kill Van Bronckhorst.

Xie Rui immediately turned back to look at the position of his teammates, and then quickly entered the Barcelona penalty area without offside.

This was Real Madrid's first attack. Xie Rui's insertion made Barcelona's defense obviously unprepared, and Beckham's cross had already flown.Someone quickly marked people, and someone quickly rushed towards the possible landing point.

Xie Rui snatched the ball in such chaos, and Marcos took a step behind him, preventing Xie Rui from jumping up to head the ball, but Xie Rui, who couldn't jump up, simply pushed hard Remove the football.

Controlling the ball in the opponent's penalty area is not only a test of technique, but also a physical test.

Marcos pushed Xie Rui as much as possible, trying to push him out of the penalty area, but Xie Rui suddenly took advantage of his strength to dial the ball out after a hard push. The reverse dribble was not blind, and Xie Rui just ran away At the same time, he also took the opportunity to widen the distance with Marcos, gaining sufficient room for adjustment.

When Xie Rui faced the Barcelona goal head-on, Van Bommel turned around.

Seeing Marcos and Van Bommel rushing forward together, Xie Rui calmly flicked the ball to the right with the outer instep of his right foot.

Puyol didn't miss Ronaldo, but he couldn't stop Ronaldo either.

During the entanglement between the two, Ronaldo was the first to step towards the flying football. The football bounced off its feet and flew past Valdez who was rushing diagonally.

Cold sweat overflowed from Valdez's vest at once, but a muffled sound made Valdez get up excitedly from the ground.

Then Edmilson was seen slumping into the goal, with the ball flying towards the touchline.

Goal line save?
