Chapter 491 Istanbul Night ([-])

"Friends of the audience, friends of the audience, here is the UEFA Champions League final live broadcast for you by Sky Sports..."

"This is CCTV..."

"This is the BBC..."

On the evening of May 2005, 5, the sports-related media all over the world had only one thing to pay attention to, and that was the final of the UEFA Champions League!
The UEFA Champions League has also experienced half a century of baptism, and has gradually developed from no one's attention to the current worldwide attention.

And Arsenal, from the very beginning as a rookie in the Champions League, has grown to win the Champions League now, and even have a chance to defend the title.

Arsenal has already become one of the top European giants.

It's just that whether they can successfully defend their title is still a question.

The major gaming companies are obviously optimistic about AC Milan in the odds setting for the Champions League this time.

Because of the several expansions of the Champions League, the number of teams participating in the competition is gradually increasing. If the probability of defending the title is calculated by simply ignoring the difference in team strength, it may be one in 24.

One-thousandth of the difficulty can be imagined.

Even if the strength factor is added, the strength of clubs such as the two teams in the Western Super League and the top three in Serie A are still so strong. Because of the expansion of the Champions League, games that could only be played by champions in the past have become a feast for the giants. It may not be one in a thousand, and it will definitely not be high.

It is precisely because of this that in the years after the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has been able to complete the task of defending the Champions League.

Even if it is two finals in two years, only Arsenal and Juventus have achieved it in these years. AC Milan's results in two finals in three years are enough to make people look high.

Moreover, AC Milan is equally strong, and Shevchenko and Crespo are more famous than Henry and Klose.

Even if Bergkamp is not injured at this time, it will not work. After all, Bergkamp is too old at this time. Many people believe that even if he is not injured, it will be difficult for him to complete such a fierce game.

In the last game of the Premier League, although Bergkamp showed his strength, he also exposed all the problems caused by his old age.

It's embarrassing, veterans don't die, they are just gradually withering, and they don't even have the last chance to bloom.

Is there any chance for Arsenal to reach another final in Bergkamp's career?
Thinking that Bergkamp is likely to retire directly because of this injury, and that he will never see Bergkamp galloping on the court again in the future, the fans feel a little heartbroken.

But objectively speaking, AC Milan, which has swept Serie A this season, looks much better than Arsenal, which stumbled and won the Premier League title at the last minute.

Most fans feel that this season's Champions League champion will eventually be handed over to AC Milan, which has the "Champions League DNA", which is also normal.

Perhaps in their opinion, in terms of player strength alone, AC Milan may be even better.

The afterglow of Serie A has not completely dissipated, and many people have not really felt the horror of the rise of the Premier League.

The Ataturk Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate more than [-] people to watch the game together, is now overcrowded. The Champions League final will start in the evening, but in the afternoon, fans have already started to enter the stadium one after another.

A few hours before the match between Arsenal and AC Milan, the entire stadium was basically fully occupied.

Outside the stadium, there are several large display screens for fans standing on the square to watch the game.

And Istanbul, at least the Thrace region that belongs to the European part, is flooded with red today.

The game is about to start. The main colors of the jerseys of Arsenal and AC Milan today are red, so a bright red of red and white, and dark red of red and black divide the entire Ataturk Olympic Stadium. It is a neutral fan area where the clothes are not uniform in color.

The main color of the two teams is red. Of course, a home and away game must be divided, otherwise no matter who it is, it will be difficult to distinguish the two teams.

Arsenal were lucky enough to draw at home, keeping their home jersey in red and white sleeves.

And AC Milan needs to wear their white away jersey in this final.

But what is interesting is that the away jerseys of Arsenal and AC Milan are both white. From the perspective of outsiders who are not familiar with the two teams, no matter which team they are drawn to the home and away games, they will finally be shown on TV. , It’s all red and white matches-after all, the red and black jerseys still give people a big red color when they are broadcast on TV.

Arsenal's players wear red shirts and white sleeves, while AC Milan's players wear red and black shirts.

Ancelotti wore a simplified and light suit, but Shao Bo was more informal. He simply appeared in a T-shirt and jeans, and he wore light sneakers provided by Arsenal's sponsors.

Football games are not like the NBA, requiring staff such as coaches and assistant coaches to wear formal suits.

It's just that most football coaches, in order to show their authority, consciously wear some serious clothes.

Malcolm Arison, the former Manchester City manager in the 1970s, always liked to wear a camel sheepskin coat with a fedora.At the time, the classic camel coat meant "I'm serious, I'm successful, I have a wide range of ways", in fact, he did lead Manchester City to win the FA Cup and the league championship in one fell swoop.

However, as Shao Bo, who directed the game and led the team in his early 20s, it is useless to wear serious clothes.

Even if he COS the King of England, it's useless.

It's better to relax and mingle with the players.

This set of extremely casual and sporty clothes looks casual and fashionable on Shao Bo's body.

"Maybe, after the final, the short sleeves worn by Shao Bo with the words "Arsenal must win" will be sold out?" The commentator of Sky Sports couldn't help but sigh after seeing the close-up of Shao Bo. .

During this period of time, if any curious fans click on Arsenal's official website and go to Arsenal's official store, they will definitely find that the same style of short sleeves is on display on the shelves.

At this time, Shao Bo was not only preparing for the game, he also ran an advertisement for the club's products - this was a game watched by hundreds of millions of people on TV, how could the opportunity of free advertising be missed?

The light clothing just reflects Shao Bo's youthful vigor and vigor. Not far away, although Ancelotti is only 45 years old, he can be regarded as a "young handsome" compared with other head coaches, but his head The white-haired Ancelotti is obviously not as popular with young people and the media as the thick black-haired Shao Bo.

While commanding on weekdays, Shao Bo never forgot to do some simple exercises, so his body lines are maintained very well. In this regard, Ancelotti also lost for a while - the good life in Milan made this former player in the stadium The player who was chasing honor together with the Milan Three Musketeers became potbellied.

Even Ancelotti had to say: "Time is not forgiving."

Fortunately, this is the venue of the Champions League, not a fashion show. Otherwise, those players living in Milan will let Shao Bo know why Milan is called the fashion capital.

Both teams had warm-up activities here before, and as the final of the Champions League, before the players went on the field, it was simply a big traditional project, a huge football-shaped spread pulled up by dozens of caddies. was pulled apart.

After all these warm-up activities are over, the current UEFA Champions League will soon begin.

This time, when it was a coin toss to choose the ball or the field, AC Milan won.

As the captain of AC Milan, Maldini and Henry guessed the coin as team representatives. After that, Maldini, who guessed right, chose the ball, and they AC Milan wanted to attack first.

As one of the sharpest offensive teams in Europe this season, if you want to win, you must use a sharp spear to pierce the enemy's shield wall!

The UEFA Champions League is about to start, and now the eyes of the whole world are on here.

"The last battle of European football this season, is Arsenal able to successfully defend the Champions League? Or is AC Milan able to create the glory of winning the Champions League twice in three years? Let us quietly look forward to the upcoming Champions League match!"

Just when the game was about to start, the major gaming companies finally closed the betting on who would win between Arsenal and AC Milan.

Thousands of fans all over the world have bet on the final of the Champions League. Now that the game is about to start, the gaming company no longer accepts any bets.

No matter who wins or loses, the result will be announced within two hours!
Because they guessed the coin first, Maldini and the others chose the ball, so Arsenal will naturally choose a venue that is beneficial to them.

But it's night now, and they will switch venues in the first and second half, so it doesn't really make much sense to choose a venue at this time.

It is precisely because of this that Maldini chose the ball.

Take the lead in attacking and bring out the spirit of AC Milan. They need to use offense to directly gain an advantage.

With a player like "Nuclear Warhead" Shevchenko, not using it is a waste.

Even if it is a confrontation, AC Milan must let Arsenal know how good they are!
After all, facing a sharp team like AC Milan, even if Arsenal really wanted to rely on defensive counterattacks to win, it would not be so successful.

Tactics also need to be set differently according to different opponents.

　After this game is over, there will be a [big] surprise.I was cheated by the coach, and the time for subject [-] was too long. I'm sorry that the third shift will have to wait until the weekend.
