The new Wembley Stadium is the largest professional football stadium in the UK and the second time it has hosted a Champions League final since its reconstruction, with Barcelona reaching the top of Europe in the 2010-2011 season.

After a year, the new Wembley Stadium is once again hosting the Champions League final.

One of the finalists is a traditional European supergiant, and the other is a European upstart.

In international popularity, Real Madrid can definitely get rid of Dortmund a few streets, but it is definitely better to play Dortmund on the spot, so many media are more optimistic about Dortmund with young players as the team.

The two teams have met twice in the Champions League group stage this season, and if it weren't for Ozil's last-minute free-kick at home, Dortmund would likely have beaten Real Madrid home and away.

The TV stations that have the rights to broadcast the Champions League final have also repeatedly broadcast the two Champions League group games as a basic reference before the Champions League final.

As the Dortmund players entered the stadium one after another from the players' tunnel, there was a huge cheer from the stands.

At this time, the occupancy rate of the new Wembley Stadium was already very impressive, and the stadium that can accommodate 90,000 fans was filled with about 60,000 fans, close to 2/3.

In terms of ticket allocation, Dortmund and Real Madrid each have 30,000 tickets, and the remaining 30,000 tickets will be divided between the organizers and UEFA sponsors and partners.

So the cheering and shouting has not yet achieved the desired effect, but considering that the new Wembley Stadium is not Westphalais Lun Stadium, and many fans are still in the stadium, it is normal that there is no deafening effect.

Of course, while the Dortmund fans cheered, it was natural that the Real Madrid fans cheered and booed, affecting the mood of the Dortmund warm-up players.

It's just that this possibility is negligible, Dortmund once faced 90,000 fans at the Camp Nou, and now it is not a piece of cake to deal with this kind of boo of 10,000 or 20,000 people?

Immediately, the Real Madrid players entered the stadium in turn to warm up, and the Real Madrid fans subconsciously cheered.

And the Dortmund fans are happy to take revenge, and they make a lot of noise while the Real Madrid fans cheer.

In the production of sound, Real Madrid fans are naturally inferior to working-class Dortmund fans, after all, many Real Madrid fans are upper-class people, and they disdain to fight with working-class Dortmund fans.

The boos created by the Dortmund fans were not very loud, but the ears of Cristiano Ronaldo on the field still made him a little unhappy.

Because Ronaldo in this game is like holding back his strength to beat Dortmund, give Tang Zheng some color to see, and let him know that some people can't be underestimated!

As time went on, the new, seemingly empty Wembley Stadium gradually filled up.

Avid fan supporters also hung banners, slogans and giant posters in prominent places to set the mood for their favorite team.

It is worth mentioning that Dortmund drew the home team and subsequently got the first choice of the stands.

As we all know, the most atmospheric stand at Dortmund's home Westphalabe Lun Stadium is the South Stand, so the club chose the South Stand in the selection of the stands, so the South Stand of the new Wembley Stadium, the venue of the 2012-2013 Champions League final, belongs to Dortmund fans, and the North Stand belongs to Real Madrid fans.

Neutral fans are located in the middle of the main and secondary stands, separating the loyal fans of the two teams.

When it comes to neutral fans, the percentage of fans from China is very high.

According to incomplete statistics, about 1/4 of the 30,000 fans are Chinese fans.

Because many Chinese fans with economic advantages pay several times or even ten times higher than the market price to buy tickets, so there are many Chinese fans among the neutral fans.

Chinese fans support Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng's Borussia Dortmund has received more support as a result.

By the time the warm-up was over, the new Wembley Stadium was truly packed, and the stadium was full.

The atmosphere was extremely frenetic, with the Dortmund fans in the South Stand singing "Das-Vereinslied" en masse, the tall and strong men waving their yellow and black flags shirtless, and other fans holding fan scarves while singing.

Yellow-black is originally a very dazzling color, so it gives people a very strong visual impact.

The Real Madrid fanatics in the North Stand were no less than good, and they also sang the team song "Come on! Madrid!", which drove everyone's enthusiasm.

However, in the noise created, Real Madrid fans are not as good as Dortmund fans.

Not to mention that the majority of die-hard Dortmund fans come from the working class, the number of Chinese fans joining alone is enough to suppress the momentum created by Real Madrid fans.

The warm-up lasted about 40 minutes, and then the stadium was watered in accordance with FIFA regulations.

Immediately, the organizer of the new Wembley Stadium began to perform with British characteristics.

The first thing Dortmund players do when they return to the dressing room is to rinse off their sweat and then change into new jerseys, socks, shin guards and boots.

Of course, the most important thing that cannot be ignored is the organization of personal image.

The oldest player in Dortmund's squad is goalkeeper Weidenfeller, who is 32 years old, just past his prime.

It's an old age in the world of football, but it's still relatively young in terms of a person's lifetime.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

The second oldest is right-back Piszczek, who is also only 28 years old, the golden age of professional footballers.

The age of the other core players is basically in 24 or 5, like Gotze and Gundogan, who are still in the 90s and younger.

Tang Zheng, who will appear as the captain of Dortmund in the 2012-2013 Champions League final, is only 23 years old, which is very young.

When you are young, you naturally want to show your handsome side in front of the fans.

Compared with most of the usual hairstyles, this Champions League final is all the players constantly applying hairspray to their heads, as if they don't need money.

It wasn't until he was meticulous that he tapped his head in satisfaction with the mirror in the dressing room, and then said very intoxicatedly: "Handsome." ”

Tang Zheng's hairstyle hasn't changed much since his debut, and he has always been refined and short, so his finishing time is basically the shortest.

Medium-length hair, like Hummels, takes a relatively long time to care for.

Fortunately, the new Wembley Stadium is now preparing for a theatrical performance, and the players still have some time to play, so they are not in a hurry.

Head coach Jurgen Klopp and two aides, Gerliko Bouácz and Peter Kravitz, have returned to normal after a period of nervousness, sitting on a plush sofa in the home dressing room with their legs crossed and waiting for the players to put together their personal appearances.

In the away dressing room, the preparation of the Real Madrid players was almost the same, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who was very concerned about his personal image, and the hairspray he applied on his head made his entire head shine.

Manager Jose Mourinho and his assistant Faria sat straight on the sofa and waited quietly for the players to get ready for the game.

The new Wembley Stadium is holding a large-scale cultural performance with British characteristics, and the stands are already full, but the atmosphere is much lower than the warm-up stage of the players, after all, it is now a stage of recuperation for fans.

The next game is the real feast.

Besides, the art show is not what fans want to see, they want to see a wonderful Champions League final.

After a while, the Dortmund players in the home team's dressing room finished sorting out their personal images, and Tang Zheng also wore the latest Evospeed series 1.1 sneakers released by Puma this morning.

The color can't say much about the world, but it is definitely comfortable enough, and it can even be said that this is the most suitable sneaker that Tang Zheng has ever worn for his own situation.

The shoes are comfortable to wear, and Tang Zheng naturally hopes that he can play better in the next Champions League final, and then lead Dortmund to win the second Champions League title in team history.

When the time comes, the fans will not say anything about a new challenge.

It is an eternal truth that people go to higher places and water flows lower places.

When everyone was ready, Klopp coughed lightly, took the tactical board handed over by his assistant Gerlico Bvac, and glanced at everyone in the room.

He noticed that the players looked very good, and there was a faint sense of excitement on their faces.

Excitement for Champions League games is a good sign, which means that players are more likely to get into shape during the game!

In terms of tactics, Klopp does not have the latest additions, and they all repeat the explanations around the tactics established before the game, which is deeply remembered and understood.

……

In the visiting dressing room, Mourinho glanced at all the players in front of him, especially the starting eleven.

In terms of the starting line-up, Mourinho deliberated and consulted with the coaching staff, and the goalkeeper finally chose captain Casillas.

The reason for choosing Casillas was not that he was courting Mourinho, but that Mourinho's coaching staff believed that Casillas had more experience in key matches than Diego López.

After all, Casillas is Spain's main goalkeeper for three consecutive major titles, having won two European Championships and a World Cup.

In order to be sure, it is not uncommon to choose Casillas.

At the same time, Mourinho can also send a signal to the outside world.

The so-called discord between the generals and commanders is just a rumor.

The back four were Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos and Arbeloa, with Khedira partnering Xavi Alonso in the back and Di Maria, Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo up front, with Karim Benzema up front.

Mourinho did not revisit the pre-match tactics as Klopp did, but proceeded from the overall morale of the team and said bluntly: "I will say something straight here, this is a game about the Champions League final, whether you have a game against me before, I want you to show the best of yourself, the Champions League is not for me, but for each of you to have one more Champions League title in your career." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Ramos, Xavi Alonso, and Arbeloa, the three local Spanish players, and then said indemgently: "You have won the league championship, the Copa del Rey champion, the European Championship and the World Cup, but you lack a Champions League title in your resume, and now the opportunity is in front of you, whether you can grasp it is not up to me, it is your attitude and hard work to decide!"

Casillas pouted as he listened, a little unhappy, believing that Mourinho was deliberately ignoring himself.

In fact, Casillas won the Champions League with Real Madrid in the 1999-2000 and 2001-2002 seasons.

Finally, Mourinho looked at Cristiano Ronaldo: "They all say that Leo Messi is the best player in the world, I don't think so! because the best player is you! Cristiano Ronaldo!

Although Cristiano Ronaldo has some contradictions with Mourinho, he chooses to abandon his preconceptions and listen attentively at the moment of the big game.

The number one star in the team has such a good attitude, not to mention the other players.

For the first time, Modric, who missed the starting line-up, felt that the atmosphere in the team was so harmonious, and it was not at all like the previous dressing room performance.

That's good, though.

The atmosphere in the team is good, which is good for the next Champions League final!

Meanwhile, assistant coach Faria turned his head and looked at Mourinho meaningfully.

He finally knew why he had been willing to follow him for so many years.

It turns out that personality charm is really important!

While the two teams were making final preparations, TV commentators, who had the rights to broadcast the 2012-2013 Champions League final, analysed the official starting lists submitted by both sides to UEFA.

Dortmund, who were drawn to the home team, offered the usual 4231 formation, and there was not much change in the use of personnel.

One of the biggest changes comes from the midfield configuration, Gundogan's partner is not pure defensive player Sven Bender, but the captain of the game, Tang Zheng.

The goalkeeper is still Weidenfeller, the four defenders are very neat, Schmelzer, Hummels, Subotic and Piszczek, the three forwards Reuss, Gotze and Kuba, and the striker is Lewandowski, the scorer of this season's Bundesliga.

Speaking of league scorers, Dortmund's number one assister and Bundesliga assist king Tang Zheng is also the fourth top scorer in the Bundesliga this season.

So Mourinho's starting line-up double-backs once again sent Xavi Alonso to partner Khedira to strengthen the central defence.

Andy Gray, the British Sky commentator with the starting line-up in his hands, shook his head and said: "Jose Mourinho is still so cautious and has set up two gates in the midfield, but Jurgen Klopp's team did not let Don play as the forward he is most familiar with, I think the starting line-up is more targeted Jurgen Klopp." ”

He added: "Of course Xavi Alonso is in a lively position, he can act as a protective barrier when the team is defending, and he can also be one of the most dangerous attacking playmakers in attack, relieving Mesut Ozil's pressure. ”

As soon as Andy Gray's words fell, his partner Martin Taylor laughed: "No matter how strong Jose Mourinho's targeted deployment and on-the-spot adaptability is, I believe that Don has the ability to change the final result of the game, believe it or not, I have a special feeling that Don will dominate the game!"

"Don will referee the game?" Andy Gray shook his head and laughed, "Martin, you magicalized Don." ”

"As for whether you believe it or not, I do. Martin Taylor said with a shrug of his shoulders.
