The strongest winger

Chapter 497
As soon as the two sides came out of the locker room in the final, the director of the Olympic Stadium in Athens showed the camera to the player channel, allowing the fans waiting in the stands and in front of the TV to feel the atmosphere of the upcoming Champions League final.

"Good morning, audience friends. We have now received the signal transmitted from the Olympic Stadium in Athens. I believe everyone in the camera is very familiar with him, right? That's right! This is our number one star in China - Ai Luo!"

Liu Jianhong, the commentator of the CCTV-5BJ studio, looked at the person shown in the camera and started the opening line of the UEFA Champions League final.

"It seems that his mental outlook is very good, and he has an indescribable self-confidence. I firmly believe that this game will be very exciting. If I guess correctly, Ai Luo will definitely score in the final!"

The guest commentator in the BJ studio is Gong Lei, the only Chinese player who was nominated as the World Footballer in the past.

"Director Gong's vision is very unique, and we also hope that Aiello can score in this crucial Champions League final, just like the goal he scored in the second leg of this season's Champions League semi-final!" Liu Jianhong changed his voice after finishing speaking, because the camera had switched to the past, "The one that appears in the lower left corner of the camera is Wang Xiaolei, a goalkeeper from Shanghai, China who saved Xavi Alonso's key penalty in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, and also directly threw the ball to assist Ai Luo to score! "

……

The game is coming soon, even the experienced AC Milan players are beginning to feel a little nervous. After all, in terms of strength, Valencia still has a slight advantage, and there is still an advantage of being young.

Like AC Milan's defense line, the four main defenders add up to 130 years old, with an average age of 32 years old. Experience seems to be very rich, but physical fitness is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. As Ancelotti thought, physical confrontation is completely incomparable with young people, so this defense line can only use experience and awareness to play.

Therefore, the team's defensive midfielder Gattuso has a very heavy task in this game. Ancelotti is going to follow the example of Mascherano in Benitez's tactics to defend Aiello and not give him any room for breakthrough.

Like previous key games, Gattuso will slowly recall the head coach’s pre-match arrangements just before the start of the game, and he can fully implement it when the game is played. This time he is a little different from usual. He turned his head to look at Aiello, who is directly left of the player tunnel.

I don't know if it was intentional, but Aiello is the third captain of Valencia, so he is the third behind Albelda and Baraja, but Gattuso is also the third behind Maldini and Ambrosini.

Aiello was having a final exchange with his teammates. His expression was very natural, and he played with his teammates from time to time. It seemed that he was not disturbed by the fact that the final was going on, so Gattuso quickly realized that Ailuo was not an easy opponent to deal with. It seems... the record of scoring goals in a single season in the current Champions League is still a bit level...

In this game, Ancelotti used his most commonly used Christmas tree formation, which is the four-three-two formation. In order to fight against Valencia's three technical midfielders, the midfielder specially arranged Gattuso, Ambrosini and Pirlo.

But among the three midfielders, Pirlo and Ambrosini are both inclined to attack, especially Pirlo, although he is placed in the position of the midfielder, but more often he is pretending and concentrating on organizing offenses.

Then only Gattuso and Ambrosini are left to protect the midfielders in front of the central defender, and the heavy responsibility of marking Aiello is still placed on Gattuso, who does not have a strong sense of position. Coupled with his strong willpower and abundant physical fitness, in the entire AC Milan formation, he is the only one who is suitable for full-time marking Aiello.

After thinking clearly, Gattuso looked away, but his fists were quietly clenched.

"Ancient Greece, ancient Athens, and the Olympic Stadium ushered in two glorious journeys. 13 years ago, AC Milan beat Barcelona, ​​another team in La Liga, 4:0 on this venue, setting the largest score difference in the European Champions Cup final..."

Following Huang Jianxiang's opening remarks in the on-site studio of the Olympic Stadium in Athens, players from both sides of the final followed the referee holding the final ball and two assistant referees from the player channel to the court.

At the same time, the entire Olympic Stadium in Athens resounded with huge cheers.

The reporters separated the players and went to both sides of the court, and desperately pressed the shutters in their hands on the players on the field.

When he walked to the UEFA Champions League trophy in the middle of the entrance to the stadium, Ai Luo turned his head and took a look, but he was quickly pushed down by David Villa behind him, and continued to walk forward, otherwise the 'crash incident' would happen again.

The two teams face the main stand of the stadium side by side, with the center line as the boundary, each occupying one side. At the side and rear of the two teams, there is a huge team badge hanging from the top of the pitch to the pitch turf. Below the team badge is a column of letters: 2007 UEFA Champions League final!
It seems to be reminding the fans at the scene that the most eye-catching Champions League final on the planet is about to take place!
In front of the sides of the competition, there are two square formations of the UEFA Champions League trophy graphics made by dozens of ball boys holding canvas.

It was not until the players were lined up that they spread out slowly.

At this moment, the stadium's radio suddenly played the exciting UEFA Champions League theme song "Champions League"

When playing the "Champions League", the camera of the stadium director gradually switched from the AC Milan player on the far left of the host position to the player on the right, until the last player in Valencia, David Silva.

"...Before the game, many AC Milan players said this in interviews with reporters. They defeated the most powerful Barcelona dream team here 13 years ago. Today, in this blessed land, they think they can still beat this Valencia team, which is known as the strongest in Valencia's history. However, Valencia's head star Aiello said in an interview that his goal is the championship!! Let us look forward to the final of the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League!"

The fans sitting in front of the TV saw a computer-generated stadium in the camera, and the starting lineup of the home team Valencia first appeared on the small stadium.

"In this game, Valencia sent their most commonly used four-three-three formation. The goalkeeper is the Chinese teenager Wang Xiaolei who represented Valencia in the European competition for the second time this year! The four players in the defense are Del Horno, Albiol, Ayala and Moretti, and the three midfielders are captain Albelda, Baraja and Ballack who have returned from injury! The three forwards are David Silva, David Villa and my country's number one star - Aiello!"

During the period when the on-site commentator announced the starting lineups of the two sides in the final, the players on both sides of the court were shaking hands, and the handshake of Ai Luo and Kaka, the key personnel of both sides, was specially taken care of by the host.

"The two players shaking hands now are the key players in the final. Ai scored 17 goals in 12 UEFA Champions League games in Valencia, and Kaka did not give up. As a midfielder, he scored [-] goals in limited opportunities. So from the perspective of goals, the state of these two players will directly affect the final result of this game..."

However, Ai Luo and Kaka who shook hands were not as complicated as imagined. Instead, they nodded and smiled at each other, and then shook hands with the next player.

However, when Aiello shook hands with Gattuso, an episode happened, and the latter had an obvious forceful movement when shaking hands.

※※※

Taylor Swift, Ai Luo's family and friends, Wang Xiaolei's family and the family members of other players all stood on the first stand closest to the stadium. This unusual scene made many reporters feel the possibility of digging for information, but it did not attract much attention.

It is very different from the buddies who went to the Nyau Gargenwald Stadium to cheer for Aiello two years ago. Now He Puqi, Liu Wei, Li Ze-min, and Zhang Tao seem to have a successful look. In this world where people rely on clothes, they look like dogs wearing expensive Armani suits, and their temperament has soared infinitely.

And they are also holding a beautiful woman who is the envy of every man. It looks more like a tourist at the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

The beauties in the stands are always one of the shots that the stadium director likes to capture.

At the same time, the players from both sides in the finals also finished shaking hands. Ai Luo and Wang Xiaolei waved at the stands of their families at the same time, so the response from the stands was very fierce, and huge cheers rang out again.

"Come on, little Lei!"

Captain Albelda walked towards the referee Zhu with the team flag. After Ai Luo waved to the family in the stands, he turned around and stretched out his right hand, and hugged him.

"Come on, David!"

"Come on, Raul!!"

"Come on, Michael!!!"

Ai Luo gave high-fives to his teammates one by one. After all, this is a game related to the championship, so it must not be sloppy!

One minute later, all the ceremonies were over. In the final, the two sides stood up according to their own formations. Inzaghi and Kaka stood in the middle of the court, waiting for the start of the game.

German referee Herbert van der took center stage at the moment, standing just outside the arc of Valencia's half, eyes fixed on the watch on his wrist.

The huge Athens Olympic Stadium slowly fell silent, and the fans in the stands were all looking forward to the whistle.

The referee Herbert van der put the whistle in his mouth, looked left and right to make sure that both players were ready, and then he blew the whistle hard!
beep~~~~
With the whistle of the referee, the much-anticipated Champions League final was announced.

Inzaghi moved the football under his feet to Kaka, but Kaka did not drag his feet, and directly passed the ball back to the team's brain Pirlo.
