Chapter 157 The First Champions League Final
Barcelona at night is charming, with passionate Spanish girls and quiet coastal beaches.

If at this time, you spend a few euros and order a Spanish paella in a small restaurant by the sea, don't mention how much you enjoy it.

The fresh seafood and the same fresh big fish bones are stewed into delicious rice.With delicious rice, drink Canadian ice wine, and listen to the sound of the waves not far away, enjoy this wonderful night.

If the weather is good, here, you can also see the twinkling stars, bit by bit, like an oil painting.

But, today there is such a place that will never sell paella, and no one will care about the beautiful starry sky.They all sat on the high stands and looked at the ground, the green grass, dozens of people posing in various shapes on the grass, and a big football pattern appeared here.

Music in the style of the Baroque era, the theme song of the Champions League "Champions League":
They are the best team,

the most important event,
champions,
……

a big party,

A great sporting event.

The song of the Champions League, which has been sung for many years, resounded in the Nou Camp stadium, and the singing was flying, reaching the starry sky.

Yes, this is Camp Nou, and today is the final time of the Champions League!

Today, the eyes of the whole city of Barcelona, ​​Spain, fans from all over Europe and even the whole world are gathered here.

In front of more than [-] fans, under the close tracking of dozens of cameras, Shao Bo and Ferguson walked out of the player tunnel together.

He took away the league championship from himself twice, and Ferguson has already recognized Shao Bo's strength.Although it is the final of the Champions League, the two sides have played against each other many times and are familiar with each other. Here, they will play together.

Although Shao Bo snatched the third league championship trophy from Ferguson, but if he loses, he loses, and he just needs to win it back next season.Since Ferguson invited him to play together, he naturally couldn't show weakness and fall behind.

In fact, there is no need for the two to appear together like this, and no one asks them to, and no one is qualified to ask to do so.

It's just that this is still Ferguson's psychological tactics. It is not the same as Shao Bo's method against Lippi at that time, but the principle is the same. It is to find the opponent's weakness through provocation, and then target it.

The specific performance here is to oppress Shao Bo and irritate the opponent with the momentum of two championships, so as to stimulate the opponent to use some aggressive tactics.

It's not that Shao Bo doesn't understand Ferguson's thoughts, but he won't be irritated by Ferguson now. I believe the other party must know this, and it may take some time before he knows what other means are there.

If he only used the stadium with 10 people and the atmosphere of the final to motivate himself, Ferguson would have underestimated himself too much.

Sitting on the coach's bench, Shao Bo waited for the players to enter the pitch.Looking at a small arch placed in front of the player tunnel to display the Champions League final, Shao Bo suddenly smiled.

After poking Pat Rice next to him, Shao Bo smiled and asked him: "If a strong wind blows over here, won't the small gate of the Champions League collapse?"

Rolling his eyes, Pat Rice was a little speechless about Shao Bo's question: "With such high stands around the stadium, how could there be wind blowing in."

……

The players who attracted the attention of the fans more than the head coach were naturally the players, and the players of the two teams moved forward in order.And one of the more special players also appeared in the camera lens.

"Friends of the audience, friends of the audience, we know from the squad list released before the game that Sun Jihai may qualify as a substitute in the final of the Champions League. This is the first time a Chinese has appeared here. A final in one of Europe's top competitions! Let's see Sun Jihai, he's come out of the tunnel...well, the cameras are following him."

Along with the song, the players stood in two rows and walked past each other to shake hands.This means that the theme of the competition is friendship and competition.The handshake is to tell the players, don't just remember the competition, but forget the other purpose of the game.

The two sides soon began to prepare for the opening. Although Sun Jihai was sitting on the bench, the camera from China never turned away.Anyway, there is head coach Shao Bo next to them, both of them are the objects of concern of the Chinese people, and the director needs to edit the pictures here at any time.

Speaking of which, there are countless cameras on the court, and they shoot every corner of the court.Just waiting for an interesting scene to be cut by the director.Close-ups and the like are not intentionally turning a camera to shoot.

Both Sun Jihai and Shao Bo have been identified by Chinese audiences as "the key to the rise of Chinese football" or "representatives of the external image of Chinese football".

It’s just that Shao Bo didn’t dare to think about it this way. Whether it’s the rise or the image, he has to rely on his own domestic struggle. Even if he wins all the championships every year, he is also his own legend. May be good.

Chinese fans also put some of their emotions on the two, which is normal emotional sustenance.Shao Bo also liked Yao Ming very much back then, and felt that his achievements in the United States also brought glory to the people of the country.

It's just a pity that Shao Bo's nationality is not Chinese, so there is a natural sense of estrangement.And Sun Jihai's strength may not be enough to fight in the final of the Champions League. The audience will probably still watch a match similar to the Champions League final in previous years.

The game started with the whistle of the referee. When the coin was guessed just now, Manchester United won.They chose the ball, and Arsenal, who are more familiar with the Nou Camp, first chose a good side.

At this time, fans who originally had a traditional stereotype of English football fell through their glasses.Both teams did not use the traditional big-footed long pass and the method of holding high and playing high.Maybe only Beckham's missile-like passing can be counted?

After years of communication efforts, England's team has naturally made great progress.Whether it is Manchester United or Arsenal, they have already abandoned the backward long pass and sling style of play, and changed to a more mainstream and advanced ground flow.

Even the last game of this season, the two sides do not need to be stingy about physical strength.Both Manchester United and Arsenal have excellent wing breakthrough ability.The only thing that matters is whether the side of the two sides can't withstand the attack first, and the other side will surrender first.

Seeing this, fans from other countries realized that English football has caught up again, and they can no longer look at them with old thinking and old eyes.

What makes Arsenal better than Manchester United is that their wing ability is not worse than Manchester United, and they also have a better center breakthrough ability.

Andy Cole was injured in Manchester United's FA Cup clash with Chelsea.Although he scored a goal in the FA Cup, his absence from the Champions League final is not a good deal.

Now the absence of Andy Cole's Manchester United team is like a tiger without sharp teeth. Although the threat is still strong enough, it can be dealt with better.

Andy Cole was replaced by Sheringham, and his strength is also quite good.However, in Manchester United, he still can only play as a substitute.This time he was able to enter the starting list of the Champions League final because Ferguson thought that Solskjaer was the last substitute and was more threatening than Sheringham.

Dwight Yorke or Sheringham alone may not be able to compare with Arsenal's Ice Prince Bergkamp and Anelka, who has been rumored to be in contact with many giants.

In terms of striker's attack power alone, Shao Bo thinks his own team is better.

In the Manchester United team, Ryan Giggs, Robbie Keane, Ginger Scholes, and Beckham are mainly based on the 92 golden generation. The midfield combination composed of four is probably similar to Arsenal's current one. .

Overmars and Ljungberg are separated on both sides, and Petit and Vieira are connected in the midfield.Anyway, judging from the comparison of personnel alone, Shao Bo is not afraid.

As for the most obvious weakness now, Manchester United's left-back Sylvester is even more familiar with it.

Sylvester, who once moved to London and played for Arsenal, has all his technical characteristics in Shao Bo's mind.

Not to mention that he has many shortcomings that can be exploited when he has grown up, let alone that he is still in the growing period.The Nervous Knife is a little bit better, as long as he goes forward to assist, his defense will inevitably be prone to loopholes, and then in the process of returning to defense, he is especially prone to low-level mistakes.

This is why even though Shao Bo knew that Sylvester had played for Arsenal, he never thought of buying him while he was young.

Although Arsenal's veterans are old, they are also reassuring. In the Champions League final, their task is only to guard the goal, and it is enough for the teammates in the midfield to complete the attack.

As for the erratic passing route during the assist, the rhythm that his teammates can't keep up with, and the extremely prone to problems in running positions, he still has many problems that Shao Bo can think of.After all, he is still young, and he has only come to Manchester United for only half a year. No matter how powerful Ferguson is, it is impossible for him to make a qualitative leap in just a few months.

Even if he has the ability to play multiple positions, but now is the final of the Champions League, how can Ferguson boldly arrange him to play?

It seems that the scarcity of top full-backs is a world-class problem.

There was no time to show mercy to the opponent. Since Sylvester was already on the starting roster when Ferguson arranged, Shao Bo's opening instructions naturally asked the players to take the initiative to attack this point, break through from the opponent's weakest point, and get valuable goal!
