Strong Waist
Chapter 126 The final begins
Puskas Stadium reopened this year after renovations, and the first game it hosted was the Europa League final.
This stadium, which can accommodate 90,000 spectators, is packed with seats at this time.
Although the Europa League final is not as popular as the Champions League, it still attracts a large number of local fans to watch the game.
Fueled by the Arsenal game, the expectations of these fans are even higher.
"Sky Sports Live, this is Puskás Stadium, I am Paul Merson!"
"I'm Dixon!"
“We will bring you the most professional and exciting explanations here!”
Paul Mawson's commentary was almost a roar, and the cheers filled the entire arena with a huge noise.
Beneath the noise is that thrilling pre-game jitter.
"This season's Europa League has entered its final game. After a season of fighting, Arsenal from the Premier League and Celta Vigo from La Liga will meet in the final. Both teams have never won the Europa League trophy. No matter which side they win, they will make history!”
"For Arsenal, they will face an unfamiliar opponent."
"Celta Vigo is an absolute dark horse in this Europa League. It went all the way from the group stage to the Europa League finals, and even defeated Schalke 04 in the semi-finals, playing a wonderful game!"
"And their leading striker Aspas is also highly anticipated. In the league, Aspas has helped Celta Vigo score 19 goals. His hot streak has continued into the Europa League. We look forward to their success. A more exciting performance!”
Dixon immediately took over and shouted; "For Arsenal, this game is also an extremely important game!"
"Looking at the last season, Arsenal did not have a wonderful season. They experienced many problems such as player departures, head coach retirement, etc. However, Arsenal still survived. Today Arsenal has completed After the reorganization, under the guidance of Mourinho, a united and strong Arsenal with Kai as the core is once again presented to us!”
"Arsenal have two phenomenal strikers at the moment."
"Lukaku and Kai, these two players have scored more than 20 goals in the league. This also tells us from the side how fierce this Arsenal's offensive firepower is!"
"For Celta, they have to be careful about the change of pace from Arsenal. They are very good at this kind of sudden power play!"
When the two commentators introduced the game, the cheers suddenly rose.
Players from both teams have already run onto the field to start warming up.
The camera captured Lucky directly.
This is the treatment of a heavyweight star.
Under the camera, Lucai's face was extremely relaxed. He covered his mouth and laughed with his teammates from time to time, as if he didn't feel any nervousness at all.
The black hair is meticulously combed to the side. The hair is not long, but very stylish.
Combined with the angular and resolute face and the stubble on the chin, it gives people an extremely tough look.
"Kai's performance is still extremely relaxed. After all, he has experienced the moment of winning the Champions League. As a hero of Arsenal's many championships, Kai's presence in the final is always amazing!"
After Paul Merson said this, Dixon nodded and said:
"It was two seasons ago that he took over the Arsenal captain's armband from Vermaelen. In these two seasons, Kai brought a Champions League trophy and an FA Cup trophy to Arsenal."
"He can definitely be called a champion captain, and he also made history by winning the Champions League trophy for Arsenal for the first time!"
"And today, they are on the stage of the Europa League final. Can Kai win the Europa League championship trophy for Arsenal again? Let's wait and see!"
The camera focuses on both sides.
Players on both sides performed warm-up exercises under the leadership of coaches.
Celta is conducting passing and shooting training more casually.
On the other hand, Arsenal barely touched the ball before the warm-up. After many basic warm-ups, they began to touch the ball.
The camera moves between the players on both sides from time to time, while also increasing the tense atmosphere of the final.
The Arsenal and Celta Vigo fans cheered loudly.
But the Arsenal fans clearly had the advantage, and their cheers were louder.
Although it didn't achieve the suppressive atmosphere at home, it was enough for the Gunners to hear their voices.
Cheers and songs!
Arsenal fans never stopped for a moment, and their enthusiasm and fighting spirit were constantly passed on to the Arsenal players.
Finally, the warm-up was over and the players from both sides returned to the locker room.
The scene also ushered in the warm-up before the opening.
Amidst the grand music, the trophy representing the Europa League championship appeared.
The Europa League trophy is called the ‘Bertoni Trophy’, but because the shape looks too much like a water bottle, many people are willing to call it the ‘Water Bottle Cup’.
The trophy is made entirely of silver and has an octagonal shape. It is simple and capable without any handles.
Before the cup competition was restructured in the 2009/10 season, UEFA regulations stipulated that after a club won the championship for three consecutive years or a total of five times, they could keep the trophy permanently.
But after the reform, the winner of the Europa League will receive a replica of the trophy for collection!
After a club wins the championship three times in a row or five times in total, they will receive a special mark certificate to replace the original trophy.
Of course, this kind of regulation is not important to Arsenal or Celta Vigo.
After all, neither team currently has a championship trophy.
Maybe there is hope for Serbia, but Serbia has already been eliminated from the Champions League.
After the trophy appeared, the atmosphere at the scene became obviously heated.
Everyone knows that after the 90 minutes of the game, one club will win the trophy.
This is where their hard work has come from all season long.
Amid fierce cheers, the starting players from both sides had changed their game jerseys and appeared in the player tunnel.
Lucky wore the captain's armband and held the team flag in his hand, standing at the front.
The caddies beside him turned their heads and looked around from time to time, looking extremely curious.
The players from both teams looked solemn.
They are all extremely serious about the upcoming game.
The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:
Arsenal (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Martinez.
Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.
Midfielder: Aubameyang, Kante, Wilshere, Lucky, Mane.
Forward: Lukaku.
Celta Vigo (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Alvarez.
Defenders: Marius, Cabral, Roncaglia, Castro.
Midfielder: Daniel Voss, Ladoya, Hernandez.
Forwards: Aspas, Guidetti, Sisto.
Both sides fought with their full strength.
The absence of injuries is very good news for these two teams and even this final.
Soon, under the leadership of the referee, the players from both sides crossed the arch and entered the field.
The cheers at the scene became more and more intense.
After a brief group photo, players from both sides shook hands.
The captains of both teams were also called to the referee's office.
The two captains exchange team flags and choose sides.
Finally, the referees shook hands and ran to their respective halves.
Celta had the opportunity to attack first, while Arsenal chose the left half.
After the captains of both teams arrived, Celta center Guidetti pressed the ball in the center circle, waiting to kick off at any time.
Tension spread.
The referee pressed the earphone for final confirmation, then waved his right hand down and ran out of the center circle.
The sharp whistle sounded and the game officially started.
Broadcast stations around the world are also reporting intensely.
"The 2016/2017 Europa League final between Arsenal and Celta Vigo is about to begin!"
"Game start!
Game start!
! "
"The game has officially begun, and the answer to this game that determines the Europa League championship will be given after 90 minutes!"
Among the opening remarks of many commentators, Celta took the lead in launching a sneak attack after kicking off the ball.
Ladoya suddenly kicked the ball to the front right wing, trying to find Aspas to connect.
But as soon as Aspas took a few steps, he was struck by a figure in front of him, and then he was stuck in position.
When the ball hit the ground, he failed to touch it.
Celta's first sneak attack was easily resolved by the alert Arsenal.
