The strongest winger

Chapter 773 Positive C Luo

There is still an hour before the game, and fans with tickets have basically entered the stadium to participate in the carnival of their respective camps.

The Champions League final... belongs to the moment of carnival for fans!

At this time, players from both sides had already entered the field to warm up. Aiello and Modric showed excellent competitive status. Coach Mourinho saw it and nodded frequently standing on the sidelines. Obviously, he was extremely satisfied with the fact that he had placed Modric, who has a stronger offensive ability, in the starting lineup. He even thought of the team scoring the first goal in the game.

The 45-minute warm-up time passed in a blink of an eye, and players from both sides entered the locker room.

What followed on the stadium was a theatrical performance full of ancient Roman characteristics, but these had nothing to do with the players on both sides of the final, but the organizers of the Champions League final showed their enthusiasm.

When Manchester United assistant coach Phelan closed the door of the visiting team's dressing room, the noise from the stadium stopped abruptly.

Everyone's attention is on Ferguson, and they all know that the old coach Ferguson must have something important to say before the final.

In the past two seasons, Manchester United has not simply lost to Chelsea, but has lost countless championships, the most important of which are of course the Premier League champions in two seasons and the Champions League champions last season. Therefore, the upcoming Champions League final cannot be missed, otherwise Manchester United will become the laughing stock of the whole of Europe!
Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Fletcher, Vidic...every player is very serious.

Ferguson didn't waste any time, and said directly with a straight face: "We have been working hard for the Champions League final for half a month. I believe that everyone here does not want to return empty-handed. You can see the efforts of Nemania and Darren during this period. What are they working so hard for? To beat Chelsea tonight to win the Champions League trophy!! We have learned enough lessons in the past two seasons, so the upcoming Champions League final is absolutely unmissable for us. We want to beat Chelsea! Take back our own honor!!! "

Ferguson's entire face was flushed from being too excited, but he didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, he was very excited. Every player in front of him was full of fighting spirit, just like fighters who were about to start a life-and-death struggle in the ancient Roman Colosseum!
At the same time, the Chelsea players in the home team's dressing room are generally in a good mood. They have won all major games against Manchester United in the past two seasons, allowing them to play lightly. Coupled with the presence of the 'final king' Aiello, there is no reason for Chelsea to lose this final.

From a long-term perspective, several players have lost their sense of normalcy.

Obviously, this is not a good sign.

Mourinho's eyes were burning, and he could see that many players had underestimated the enemy with his vicious eyes. He knew it was time to give them a blow!
After all the players sorted out their equipment and appearance, Boas gathered the players according to Mourinho's request.

"Does everyone here have already decided that the next 10 minutes is just a formality? Do you think that Chelsea will stand on the highest podium after 10 minutes? Is it possible to sit back and relax and win the championship without any effort? Isn't it??"

No one thought that Mourinho's first sentence would be four consecutive "is it?"

Mourinho glanced at the players he had bluffed, feeling extremely happy. He has recently studied Sun Tzu's Art of War and already knows how to heal this group of "arrogant soldiers".

"In the past few days, I found that many players have neglected training. This is not good news for us who are about to participate in the Champions League final. I do not name names here. I hope that everyone will take the next Champions League final seriously and learn more from Ai. He won two Champions League titles at the age of 23, but he still maintains an extreme desire for the championship. This is very rare! Don’t forget... there is another great record in front of us-the first team to defend the Champions League since the restructuring of the Champions League. This is the highest honor! Think about our winning The prize money for the next champion..."

With the strengthening of Mourinho's sense of rhythm, players with a sense of neglect have readjusted their mentality!

Italian blind singer Andrea Bocelli sang the song "Now-We-Are-Free", which is very characteristic of ancient Rome. The players of both sides entered the stadium behind the referee, and the live radio played the Champions League theme song "Champion Europe", which symbolized the inheritance of the ancient Roman fighter spirit to the Champions League final, and contributed a wonderful and classic Champions League final to all the fans present!

Players from both sides occupy each side. After "Champion Europe" was played, the Manchester United players on the right side of the screen walked to the left side of the screen, and shook hands with the four referees and Chelsea players who were enforcing the game.

At the same time, the on-site performers and the entire sideline close to the host seat form a triangle exit, which is very ornamental.

However, the attention of most fans is not here, but on Aiello and Cristiano Ronaldo. The thoughtful commentator has long noticed that the two people who are usually joking during the warm-up, player channel and handshake have no communication before the start of the game...

"I don't know if you have noticed a detail. Usually, whenever it is a match between Chelsea and Manchester United, Ai and Cristiano Ronaldo will chat enthusiastically and encourage each other, but this time is unusual. No matter whether it is the warm-up, or in the player tunnel, or the handshake of the players that just ended, this scene did not happen. Could it be because the two of them cared too much about this Champions League final and created a gap?"

BBC commentator Lineker said doubtfully.

The guest Phil shook his head and said: "It is said that Cristiano Ronaldo also helped Ai speak at the regular press conference before the game. The possibility of a gap between the two is not established..."

"That's really weird."

Lineker said in surprise.

"There is a small change in Manchester United's frontcourt in this game. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been active on the left, was placed in the middle by Ferguson in this game, while Rooney, the original starting striker, was placed on the left, and Korean Park Ji-sung was on the right..."

At the same time, He Wei, the CCTV commentator in charge of the on-site commentary, said while the broadcaster was setting up their positions on the big screen.

After all the preparations were completed, Aiello and Drogba stood in the middle circle, Aiello stepped on the football, and the referee Swiss Busacca stood in the middle circle and raised his hand to greet the goalkeepers of both sides. Then he walked towards the Chelsea half-court circle close to the camera, with his whistle in his mouth.

The 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League final is about to begin!
At this moment, whether it is the London media or the Manchester media, or the Chinese media or the Korean media, they all feel a sense of tension rushing to their faces.

It is worth mentioning that the spectators of the UEFA Champions League final this season are very rich. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, British Prince William, UEFA President Michel Platini and AFC President Harman originally announced that Harman did not come to the scene, but two days before the game, he learned that South Korean international Park Ji-sung will start his debut in the UEFA Champions League final, so he had to change his itinerary and come to Rome.

The upcoming Champions League final has a different historical significance to Asia, and it can be called "Asia's Champions League final derby" to the outside world!
It's just that the Chinese and South Korean media prefer to call it the 'East Asian Derby'.

The referee Busacca lowered his head to check the time on the watch on his wrist, and the live broadcaster also showed the camera on the Swiss, and the noisy scene was miraculously quiet at this moment, and everyone was waiting for his whistle.

Half a second later, the whistle sounded.

Game start!
Suddenly, the cheers in the stands exploded, resounding throughout the Rome Olympic Stadium.

No one noticed that at this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney had an eye contact.

Aiello kicked the football at his feet to Drogba next to him, and then ran towards the Manchester United half without looking back, and Drogba kicked the ball to Modric after getting the ball.

The moment Ai Luo finished turning around, a red lightning flashed by at a high speed, so he subconsciously turned his head and looked over, it was --- Cristiano Ronaldo!

"With the whistle of the Swiss, the game officially began. Now let's announce the starting lineups of both sides..." Sky TV commentator Andy Gray was about to announce the starting lineups of the two sides, when the voice changed, he exclaimed: "The speed is really fast!"

At the beginning, Cristiano Ronaldo was more than ten meters away from Modric who was holding the ball. However, under his acceleration, the distance between the two quickly shortened. The huge cheers of the Manchester United fans in the stands also suppressed the cheers of the Chelsea fans.

Modric's excellent overall view made him realize that there were Manchester United players approaching at high speed, without the ball under his feet, and passed back to the right center back Carvalho.

At this time, Rooney suddenly accelerated and rushed to Carvalho who was holding the ball. The latter did not dare to neglect the ball and passed the ball to the center back partner Terry.

Terry also didn't dare to hold the ball himself, passing the ball back to goalkeeper Petr Cech with his back to goal.

Under normal circumstances, Cristiano Ronaldo should stop to save energy, but what he didn't expect was that he did the opposite, turned a small corner and continued to rush towards Cech who received the ball.

No one thought that Cristiano Ronaldo would be so desperate at the moment of kick-off.

By the time Petr Cech realized he should have kicked the ball forward, he had lost the best chance, so he simply passed the ball to Terry at left-back, but under the pressure of Cristiano Ronaldo, he made a mistake and kicked the ball out of the touchline.

The Manchester United fans in the stands also burst into loud laughter, laughing at Petr Cech's rare mistakes.
