Chapter 548: The Final Battle Comes
When Sarnia's farce is over, the day of the Champions League final has quietly arrived, as if Diego Costa's injury and Sarnia's contract renewal issue are the two teams' skirmish before the Champions League final .

After nearly a week of closed training in a sunny Spanish town, Atletico Madrid took the lead in flying to Portugal.

And Arsenal also asked the airline to let the flight attendants on the Arsenal special plane be the same people when they flew to Munich, Germany and Madrid, Spain. Arsenal reversed Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the away game to enter the final, so They think it will bring them good luck.

"Stadio of Light", also known as "Weilos Stadium", the official name is Benfica Stadium. It is a professional football stadium located in Lisbon, Portugal.Luz is the name of the parish where the stadium is located, and this word also means "brightness" in Portuguese, so the stadium is also commonly known as the Stadium of Light.

And here is the venue for the Champions League final - the Stadium of Light in Lisbon!

This stadium can accommodate 4000 people and is a standard modern football stadium.It fully meets the requirements of UEFA's five-star football stadium, and the European Cup finals have been held here, so the facilities of this stadium are completely complete.

Benfica's home stadium is the same as their jersey, which is red and white.This is similar to the theme colors of Atletico Madrid and Arsenal, and there is another interesting thing about it.In the Champions League final, UEFA usually allows the two teams to wear home jerseys as much as possible, but because the theme colors of Atletico Madrid and Arsenal are very similar, the two teams did not have much trouble with UEFA about this matter before the game. Lipstick.After all, wearing the home jersey in the Champions League final can increase the team's momentum, morale and luck to a certain extent.

But if both sides of the game are wearing the same color jersey, it will interfere with the vision of the referee team and the fans, so both Arsenal and Atletico Madrid want to wear their home jerseys.

In the end, UEFA still let Arsenal wear the home jersey, and Atletico Madrid can only wear their yellow first away jersey, but interestingly, Arsenal's away jersey is also yellow.So no matter what, it's a red vs. yellow game.

Before the game, the two sides also shouted through the media, and this time the two sides have completely seen the truth.

At the press conference before the game, the two sides also announced their starting XI list!

There has not been much change here at Arsenal. The goalkeeper is naturally Polish goalkeeper Szczesny. The central defenders are this season's iron partners, Modesat and Koscielny. The left back is Gibbs and the right is the previous trouble. The uproarious French international Sarnia.

In the midfield, Ramsey, the Welsh midfielder with Flamini's partner, has the vice-captain Arteta in this position, but this season Arteta doesn't play much time, most of them are Flami Ni or Wilshere to play this position, the 31-year-old vice-captain has become a rotation.

Above the front waist is Ozil, Germany's genius midfielder, which is awarded by Arsenal this season. On the right is the Spanish attack midfielder Cassara. On the left is the product of the product produced by Arsenal's outstanding youth training Wilshill. Sudden The previous goal is that the goal, such as hemp, led Arsenal to the current Chinese genius Li Zihan.

Arsenal's lineup did not bring many surprises to everyone. After all, Arsenal's lineup is like this. When the core of a specific position has no injuries or red cards, it is basically no doubt that it will start.A little bit of suspense is who will partner with Ramsey in the midfield. There are more partners that can be combined. It can be Arteta, Flamini, Wilshere or Cazorla.

The only difference is whoever partners with Ramsey is doomed to what tactics Arsenal will play. For example, if this game is Flamini, Arsenal should be more offensive, although Flamini is a defensive midfielder However, his ability to run from behind is still very strong. In all competitions this season, the French midfielder relied on his ability to attack from behind and scored a total of four goals.

What Arsenal still has to change is the striker. Wenger can choose to let Li Zihan play as a winger and put Giroud on top, or let Giroud sit on the bench. Of course, since the second half of the season, Podolski has not played much time, and he has not even had as many opportunities as the teenager Chamberlain, so this is not an unexpected change.

When Atletico Madrid announced the starting lineup, everyone was looking forward to it.Looking forward to whether Atletico Madrid's striker Diego Costa can enter the starting list. In the previously announced 18-man roster, Diego Costa has a name, which shows that his injury should not be very serious. There is also the opportunity to come off the bench or even start.

As for the goalkeeper, Atletico Madrid has no second choice like Arsenal. The Belgian genius Courtois, who was loaned to Atletico Madrid by Chelsea, performed very well. He has suppressed the famous Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas and Barcelona for two consecutive seasons. No. [-] goalkeeper Valdes, so Atletico Madrid will replace the Belgian's starter unless his brain is broken.

In the central defender, the Uruguayan captain Godin partnered with the Brazilian central defender Miranda, who has not returned from injury for a long time. This combination of South American central defenders is also the main theme of Atletico Madrid.On the left and right sides, there are naturally no suspenseful Juan Fran and Luis Felipe.

In the midfield, Thiago, Gabi and Raul Garcia stand in a parallel line, all in the central midfield position, instead of being separated in the wide midfielder, and above the midfielder is the newly promoted Spanish international Ke gram.

Such a midfield combination is still a test for Arsenal. All three of Gabi are all-round midfielders with both offensive and defensive capabilities. They can attack and return.At the same time, in addition to his role as an attacking midfielder, Cork's tireless running around the field is also his personal characteristic, and he can often help the team make contributions on the defensive end.

And Arsenal only have Flamini and Ramsey in the midfield, but Flamini is already old, and his shortcomings of lack of physical strength and slow defense speed have been exposed in the second half of the season. Ozil above. Don't mention him in terms of defense.

Cazorla often returns to defense actively, but his personal defensive ability and short body are not dominant.Chamberlain did a good job on the defensive end, but he was not in the starting lineup in this game.

Therefore, in terms of the overall strength of the midfield, Atletico Madrid has a slight advantage, at least in the interception and defense of the midfield.

Of course, the midfielder is not actually the focus of everyone's attention, and everyone's attention is still on the striker's starting lineup.When the list is announced here, fans or the media who often follow Atletico Madrid games have already had a hunch.

Sure enough, after Simeone finished reading the name of David Villa as the center forward, he continued: "The last one is Diego Costa!"

"Sure enough, it has appeared!!" It was beyond everyone's expectation, but also within everyone's expectation.

When Arsenal heard assistant coach Steve Boulder tell him that Diego Costa was in the starting line-up for Atletico Madrid, Wenger smiled and said: "I knew it."

"I knew it was a game!" Li Zihan said to his teammates when he was getting used to the playing field.

"The importance of the Champions League final is self-evident, so how could he miss this game, all this is Atlético Madrid's way to confuse us!" Li Zihan was gearing up.

You must know that when he learned that Diego Costa might miss the news of the final, he was upset for a long time.He likes challenges, and he believes that without challenges, he cannot make progress. This is why he is always full of fighting spirit and why he can often turn the tide.

Every time he meets a strong enemy or a strong star, Li Zihan will always be inexplicably excited. This excitement is stronger than that of doping.

Perhaps it is easier to understand with the Chinese kung fu saying "if you meet the strong, you will be strong".

Of course, Li Zihan is not like this. Most football players are like this. For example, when many young players reach the age of seventeen or eighteen, the club will consider bringing them to the first-team training or participating in some substitute games. If you are not good, you will also rent them out to see higher-level leagues, instead of staying in the reserve team and playing the reserve team league.

Only in the competition with strong teams and high-level competitions can they make progress and improve.Li Zihan is like this, the only difference is that he is more obvious than other players.

After the first rounds of the two sides came out, the "big immortals" from all walks of life began to analyze the two sides and predict the outcome of the game.

But this game is more difficult for Daxian, because both are right and wrong. Typical Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.It is a bit different from the traditional Arsenal and Arsenal and Madrid in the past. In the end, the conclusion is that this game should be evenly matched matches, and the final result depends on the core players of the two sides Li Zihan and Diego Costa. Play
In fact, without the analysis of "Calling Beasts" and "Bricks", everyone knows that this is a close game, and at the same time key players will definitely play a vital role. Otherwise, how can they be called key players? What about the core players? !
