On the field, Zhang Shujie and his teammates were warming up, judging from his expression, he was still very relaxed, after all, with two Champions Leagues in hand, he was used to seeing big scenes.

He latched on to Andre Silva's pass and slotted it into the back of the net, but Donnarumma couldn't save it and could only smile at him. Zhang Shujie laughed.

On the side of Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar's expression is a little more serious, he is different from Zhang Shujie, he has not won the Champions League (in reality, Neymar won the Champions League with Barcelona in the 2014/2015 season, but in the story this year's Champions League belongs to Li Mu's Chelsea), so he attaches great importance to this title, which will be an important weight for him to compete for the Ballon d'Or. Among today's football superstars, Neymar is more hungry than anyone else for this award.

The fans in the stands had already put up banners in advance, and An Rong and all the members of the national team were present. Ma Junqiang looked at Xu Ziyi in the warm-up, and his heart was full of emotion. Xu Ziyi, who was still playing for Manchester City last year, and compatriots Ma Junqiang and Liang Xiran entered the final together, but lost to Zhang Shujie's AC Milan.

Thinking of this, Ma Junqiang sighed, Liang Xiran beside him heard his sigh, turned his head to look at him, Ma Junqiang also looked at Liang Xiran, the two glanced at each other, and then they both smiled bitterly.

After the warm-up, the players walked off the pitch and walked to the locker room. Inzaghi didn't say much about tactics, and in this game, the counter-attack will be his main style of play: "Let's defend first, two wings, Rodriguez and Conte, you guys go back a little bit and don't leave the gaps behind them. I'm going to hold on and then I'm going to think about the offense. ”

Rodriguez and Conte nodded, and Inzaghi said: "In the midfield, Xu Ziyi and Chen Zihua should not be too close, we should fight more in the midfield, suppress them in the midfield, and use your passes more to penetrate their defense." Also, the striker, Andre, you are in the front, but when you are defending, you need to come back. ”

Silva said, "Understood. ”

"Zhang Shujie, I give you full freedom, the entire midfield, where you feel you are needed, you will go. But you have to remember that your first priority is to score goals. ”

Zhang Shujie nodded and said, "Understood, sir." ”

"I don't have anything else to say, so let's just play according to our usual training. ”

Inzaghi didn't want to throw too much baggage on his players. In fact, if you want to talk about pressure, Inzaghi's pressure is definitely greater than Emeli's, if AC Milan can't win the title this year, then they will lose the opportunity to make history, and the next time I don't know when to wait. Although the team has Zhang Shujie, but the strength of other teams is also very strong, who can guarantee that they will be able to enter the final and win the championship again for two consecutive years next year? No one dares to say this kind of thing.

In the dressing room of Paris Saint-Germain, Emeli also pays special attention to the team's defense, but he is different from Inzaghi. Inzaghi only arranges a free man in the front court for Zhang Shujie, whether it is offensive or defensive, he can be absolutely according to the situation on the field, and in Emeli's tactical arrangement, the three people in the front court can not come back to defend directly, which has a heavy defensive pressure on the players in the middle and back. It's not that Unai Emmelly is unaware of the dangers of this move, but they managed to reach the final and win the league title in this way, and regardless of the pros and cons, the team has already played well, and if they had made a temporary tactical change, I am afraid that the players may not have played so well.

"When you're defending, the three of you won't go too far back. I think AC Milan will counter-attack with what they are best at defending and I need you to keep the pressure on their backline at all times so that they can take care of it when they counter-attack and once the attack doesn't come down, there will be gaps in the back. ”

Unai Emmelly said as he drew two lines on the two wings of the tactical board with a marker, which is exactly what AC Milan's wide defence will do. Obviously, Emily wanted Milan to take advantage of the gap left by the two sides to attack when counterattacking, so he let the three of them stay in the front as much as possible. Probably he saw from the video that Rodriguez usually can't go up and down, and often needs Locatelli or Xu Ziyi to fill the position. It has to be said that Emely's idea is wonderful and risky, but it is not known how effective it will actually be.

Emely said that he wanted to put defense first, but in his bones he still wanted to rely on the front trident to find a breakthrough in attack, and attack was a goal he refused to give up. Compared to Inzaghi, Emeli hopes to break the deadlock in the first half, while Inzaghi first thinks about not conceding the goal, first looks at Emeli's tactics, and then decides on the attacking idea.

The game was about to start, the players from both sides walked out of the dressing room and stood in the players' tunnel, Zhang Shujie stood first in the AC Milan queue, and at the top of the Paris Saint-Germain queue was Thiago Silva, the former world's No. 1 central defender who also played for AC Milan. Milan fans also have deep feelings for him, you must know that before Yan Tao came to Milan to consolidate the defensive line, the "brother and daughter-in-law" was the biggest guarantee for Milan's defense, but it is a pity that the two failed to play on the same team and failed to join forces against the enemy.

The players of the two teams slowly walked into the stadium with the referee team, and the voices of fans on both sides were heard in their ears, and Zhang Shujie felt a little noisy in his ears. Still, he enjoys the feeling and as a star he needs the support of the fans.

After the players of both sides took a group photo and took pictures, Zhang Shujie and Thiago Silva chose the venue, the two had played in Serie A, Zhang Shujie at that time was far less than now, and now his brother-in-law is about to turn 34 years old, if he can't win the Champions League this year, he may have no chance in the future.

In the first half, AC Milan chose the venue, Paris Saint-Germain chose the ball, the two captains exchanged team flags, then shook hands with the referee and walked back to their own half.

Donnarumma jumped a few steps in front of the goal, moving his body simply, Yan Tao stretched out his arms, which was basically his habit before the game, Bonucci tidied up his sleeves, Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi gave each other a look, Andre Silva, who was standing outside the center circle, took a deep breath, as if to relieve his tension, and as for Zhang Shujie, he also stood outside the center circle, facing Silva, without any expression on his face.

The stadium became quiet at this moment, and for some reason, before many major tournaments began, the otherwise noisy stadium always became a little quieter. Maybe everyone is waiting for the kick-off, and everyone knows that the real battle will only come after the referee blows the opening whistle.

"Toot!!"

The referee blew the whistle and announced the start of the 2017/2018 UEFA Champions League final!
