In the stands, Wang Shihan, Zhou Ying, and Gu Qingqing had just entered the stadium, and they took their tickets and found their positions.

"That's a lot of people. Wang Shihan looked around, the stands were almost full, and occasionally there were a few vacant seats, but Wang Shihan believed that this was by no means that the tickets were not sold, but that people had not yet arrived.

She looked at the pitch and said, "This place is very clear. ”

Zhou Ying smiled: "Directly above the rostrum, it must be very clear. ”

Gu Qingqing pointed to the rostrum below and said to the two: "Look, who are those two!"

Zhou Ying and Wang Shihan looked over, and the two people Gu Qingqing was referring to were none other than AC Milan club president Li Yonghong and Manchester City owner Mubarak.

Since Wang Shihan and the three of them were sitting in the back, they couldn't see the facial expressions of the two big bosses, and they could only see from some body movements that they shouldn't have any communication now. Sometimes some fans don't understand why it is embarrassing to arrange two owners of two teams to sit next to each other in such a crucial game?

Of course, since UEFA has arranged it this way, there must be a reason for it, and the fans should not worry about it.

In the press gallery, Chen Hui and Yuan Qing arrived early in the morning, and the two were talking about something, but the sound at the scene was a little noisy, and the people around them couldn't hear what they were talking about. In fact, even if they hear clearly, it is useless, most of them are foreigners around them, and they basically can't understand Chinese.

In the player tunnel, the main players of the two teams have lined up and stood up, Zhang Shujie is still standing last, Yan Tao and Chen Zihua are standing in the middle of the team, the two of them have no requirements for the position of standing, unlike Zhang Shujie, who has to stand at the end as if he has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Inzaghi had asked him what he would think if one day, he was at the head of the line.

Zhang Shujie's answer was: "If there is really such a need, I will do my duty." ”

As several referees on duty walked out, the players of the two teams also followed their steps and slowly walked into the court. Then the players of the two teams took a group photo, because AC Milan drew the "home sign" for this game, so they stood in a row on the pitch and waited for the Manchester City players to come and shake hands.

When Zhang Shujie and Ma Junqiang shook hands, they all quietly exerted their strength with each other, obviously with the meaning of challenge, and no one was convinced.

By the time the players came out, the fans in the stands had gradually ignited their passion, but when the players stood on the pitch and prepared to kick off, the stadium instantly became quiet again, as if everyone was waiting for the moment when the big game began. In the first half, AC Milan chose the venue and Manchester City chose the ball. Sergio Aguero stood in the centre circle, waiting for the kick-off.

The referee was looking at his watch, with a whistle in his mouth, and after the stadium was quiet for about ten seconds, a crisp whistle sounded, and Aguero passed the ball back to Xu Ziyi.

The 2016/2017 UEFA Champions League final has officially begun!

***********************

"Audience friends, good evening, this is CCTV5 to bring you the 2016/2017 Champions League final, which is explained by He Wei and Xu Yang. The two sides were Serie A champions AC Milan and Premier League champions Manchester City, with AC Milan attacking from the left side of the screen in red and black striped shirts and black shorts in the first half, and Manchester City attacking from the right side of the screen in sky blue shirts and sky blue shorts. ”

He Wei said this, Manchester City launched the first attack of the game, De Bruyne was diagonally on the left side, blocked by Locatelli, the ball bounced back to Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi took advantage of Chen Zihua to get close, transferred the ball to the right side in the middle, Jesus caught the ball and wanted to force Antonelli, but Antonelli stuck very tightly, Jesus failed to break through, was forced to dunk the ball back, and passed to Aguero.

"Manchester City's attack is very fast, but AC Milan's defense is not porous at this time, let's see if Manchester City can make AC Milan's defense make mistakes in the pass. ”

Sergio Aguero crossed the ball diagonally to the right, Gabriel Jesus got past Antonelli, stopped the ball with his right foot, took two steps forward to the right side of the penalty area, and then crossed the ball towards the penalty spot.

De Bruyne stepped in, and just as Manchester City's first wave of attack was about to form a threatening shot, Yan Tao appeared in time and kicked the ball to the front of the goal, relieving the crisis in front of goal.

"Manchester City's attack was ruined by Yan Tao. It is not difficult to see from their offensive thinking that Guardiola is still implementing the attacking routine he is best at, but it has been accelerated compared to before. ”

Xu Yang agreed with He Wei's statement: "That's right, this is also his change after a season in the Premier League, the pace of the Premier League is already fast, if you don't increase the speed, Manchester City may not be able to win this league title." ”

He Wei said "um", and said: "Let's introduce the starting lineups of the two sides, AC Milan has a formation of 433, goalkeeper Donnarumma, defenders Antonelli, Yan Tao, Romagnoli and Abate, midfielders Bonaventura, Chen Zihua and Locatelli, and forwards Deulofeu, Zhang Shujie and Suso. Manchester City also formed a 433 formation, with goalkeeper Ma Junqiang, defenders Kolarov, Kompany, Liang Xiran and Fernandinho, the midfield trio of De Bruyne, Xu Ziyi and Silva, and the three forwards of Sane, Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus. ”

The ball fell to the middle circle, Chen Zihua won the header and gave it to Locatelli, Locatelli passed Bonaventura again, Silva pasted it, Bonaventura saw that the surrounding space was relatively wide, and planned to take the ball forward by himself, but he didn't expect that as soon as the passing action was made, the ball was cut off by Silva.

He Wei smiled: "How could Bonaventura think of playing tricks in front of Silva?"

Xu Yang also said: "Although Silva's style in defense is relatively weak, his skills are not picky, in the whole Manchester City, in terms of foot skills, only Xu Ziyi is better than him, others like De Bruyne and even Aguero are a little worse than him." ”

"Yes, Bonaventura's actions just now are what Silva used to play when he was younger. ”

After Silva broke the ball, he did not carry the ball forward alone, he found that AC Milan's formation contracted very quickly, blocking his way forward in just two or three seconds, so he distributed the ball to Fernandinho on the wing, and ran to the front, Fernandinho passed back to Silva, Silva did not stop the ball, a pick-up pass, the ball flew over the heads of Locatelli and Antonelli, and fell to Jesus in front.

"Manchester City's attack hit AC Milan's back 30 meters again, and in less than five minutes, Manchester City launched two attacks in a row, while AC Milan's side had zero attacks for the time being. ”
