Chapter 921: The First Man of the Legend

"All the fans in front of the TV, welcome to the live broadcast of the UEFA Champions League final in 2010-2011 at Wembley Stadium in London, England. ”

"As you can see from our live TV footage, there is already a crowd of more than 80,000 fans gathered in the stadium for what is about to be a showdown between two teams that have been called the best in Europe in the last few years. ”

"The scene was also full of gunpowder, with Premier League fans known for their popularity and Catalan fans as enthusiastic, and the two forces clash in the Wembley Stadium. ”

Gao Han's Manchester City have been the most eye-catching team in European football in the past two seasons, they have won almost every title they can win, and Pep Guardiola's Barcelona have also performed well, and everyone feels that this season's Dream Three team is better and more efficient, except for the loss to Jose Mourinho in the Spanish Copa del Rey this season. ”

"Both teams walked into Wembley Stadium with multiple trophies to compete for the crown. ”

"Judging from what we learned before the game, Gao Han should still play with the main lineup in this game, and should still insist on playing with a three-four-three tactical style, and Guardiola should also continue to play in a four-three-three formation, but there are many professionals speculating that Puyol may be used to replace Abidal who has recovered from a serious illness in terms of left-back. ”

'We all know that Abidal had surgery for a liver tumour just a few months ago and it was successful and he recovered quickly, but it is also a question of whether he will be able to recover to his best and cope with City's strong attack in such a showdown. ”

"If Puyol is really deployed at left wing-back, then it will be Argentine centre-back Milito who will replace Puyol, but the player's performance this season has not been reassuring, and this is a big suspense before the game. ”

"From the bench lineup, Manchester City is really better, and Gao Han has been in rotation all season, which is very successful. ”

It is worth mentioning that this is the fourth time in Gao Han's career that he has reached the Champions League final, and he has won the first three titles, which has equaled the legendary record in the history of European football, and if he wins it again tonight, he will become the first legendary person in the history of European football for more than 100 years. ”

"But in this game his opponent is not bad, Pep Guardiola, the legendary captain of Barcelona, but he also has a very special identity, he used to be a player under Gao Han, and after retiring as an assistant in Gao Han's coaching team, the two are still close friends in real life, and they have a very close relationship with each other. ”

As early as yesterday's pre-match press conference, Gao Han joked that the most important thing for them in this game was not the championship at all, because their friendship was enough to share the St. Bride Cup. ”

Guardiola also said at a press conference that for him, Gao Han is not only his best friend, but also the most respectable teacher, this final is a test for him, he hopes to be able to show better results than before, as for the championship, he does not care. ”

After all, these two of the most popular managers in European football are already owners of multiple Champions League titles, three in Gao Han and two in Pep Guardiola, both of whom have won the Champions League for nearly four years. ”

This also makes people look forward to this final, to see whether Gao Han, the teacher, is better, or Pep Guardiola, the student, is blue. ”

Gao Han saw off the players, got his things ready, walked out of the dressing room, walked to the exit of the players' tunnel, and saw Guardiola from afar, and the Barcelona manager also saw him quickly.

"Hi Pep. ”

"Hello, Gao Han. ”

The two friends, who had not seen each other for a long time, met and hugged warmly.

The scene was also captured by live footage lurking in the players' tunnel, and soon appeared on the big screen outside the stadium, causing the stadium's more than 80,000 fans to boil in unison, and everyone cheered loudly.

But the two people in the tunnel also quickly noticed the presence of the camera, and immediately raised their hands towards the shooting team, signaling that they wanted a little space for personal communication, and the shooting team also politely expressed their understanding and immediately transferred the camera to the players.

"How's it going?" asked Gao Han and Pep Guardiola as they walked side by side to the exit of the players' tunnel, smiling.

Guardiola shrugged, "You know, I've played it a few times, but it's still nerve-wracking every time. ”

"Me too, slowly getting used to it. ”

No one would like to have more trophies, especially for a supreme honour like the Champions League, which is a coveted reward for all footballers, and the excitement is far greater than the money.

Gao Han has won three, Pep Guardiola has two, both are among the most current managers in European football today, and at their level, the Champions League final is often more than just a win.

"You played Arsenal away and Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, both of which gave me a lot of excitement, and if you haven't figured out how to close the holes in the team, then this game is probably enough. Gao Han laughed.

Whether it is Arsenal or Real Madrid, they did not retreat in both games, but took the initiative.

Gao Han and Pep Guardiola's tactical concepts are very similar, and Manchester City and Barcelona have very similar tactical systems, which makes everyone very much looking forward to seeing the pinnacle showdown between the two teams.

"To be honest, there are a lot of teams that think the same way as you, but whether it can become a reality depends on the performance on the pitch, your offense is indeed strong enough, but the defense is not necessarily solid, right?"

"Attack?" asked Gao Han.

"Attack!" Guardiola replied in the affirmative.

Both of them stretched out their right hands, snapped, and shook them together, and they both laughed.

"I tell you, no one can win forever, including me. ”

Guardiola listened carefully, but didn't understand what Gao Han meant.

"If I had a choice, I'd rather be the first to beat me than anyone else, so, come on, don't let me down!" Gao Han patted Guardiola on the shoulder hard, smiled and walked out of the player tunnel first.

At this moment, he had already made up his mind that he would never use skill cards in this game.

He's going to rely on his truest level to beat Pep Guardiola and his Barcelona.

It's as if he's beaten Alex Ferguson, beaten Jose Mourinho, beaten Arsene Wenger and the likes this season.

He has to rely on his own ability to win a Champions League!

Behind him, Guardiola was suddenly moved, and he understood that this was Gao Han's expectation and encouragement to him.

"Don't worry, you're going to lose!" Guardiola's eyes sharpened.

Beating Gao Han is more tempting for him than the Champions League trophy.

…………

In the presence of referee Casse, Puyol beat Xavi Alonso to steal possession for Barcelona.

For two teams that also value possession, there is undoubtedly a certain advantage to kicking off first.

City's starting line-up was no surprise, with Petr Cech in goal, Vincent Kompany, Xavi Martinez and Mascherano at the back three, with Xavi Alonso behind and David Silva and Luka Modric in the middle, Kaka in front and Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Alexis Sanchez forming a trident.

Gareth Bale, Sturridge, James Milner and Vertonghen, among the many players who have been on the bench this season, are on the bench and waiting for the manager to call him at any time.

Barcelona also played their main role, with Valdés in goal, Abidal, Pique, Puyol and Alves at the back, Sergio Busquets behind, Andres Iniesta and Xavi in the middle, and Pedro, Ibrahimovic and Messi in the trident.

Pep Guardiola eventually opted for left-footed Abidal over Puyol, as Gao Han expected.

The two sides played a fast pace immediately after the opening, with Barcelona taking the lead and passing directly to the backfield for a succession of passes.

Manchester City pressed hard and chased the ball at Barcelona's feet.

Both sides seem to be unreserved, wanting to firmly hold the initiative from the start.

Barcelona sent the ball to Alves on the right after a succession of passes.

The Brazilian right-back dribbled the ball into City's half on the right, but David Silva was able to make a one-on-one tackle on the ball and roll towards the centre circle.

The two teams scrambled the ball back and forth in the centre circle, and it was Xavi Alonso who eventually sent the ball forward and passed it directly to Benzema, but the French striker stopped the ball to Kaka and the Brazilian midfielder split the ball directly to the left.

Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball, faced Alves, cut directly with the ball, and passed the ball back to the left with his heel, David Silva followed up with a left-footed curling cross, but Benzema failed to catch up in the penalty area, and the ball was picked high by Valdés.

Manchester City's first attack made their way into Barcelona's penalty area, but they couldn't threaten.

Barcelona quickly organised a counter-attack, Valdés wanted to throw the ball in his hands, but City's trident was on the front.

This delighted the fans throughout Wembley Stadium, and the two sides were going to fight each other without reservation.

Valdés tossed the ball to Puyol, but the latter, who was entangled by Cristiano Ronaldo and was forced to drive forward with a big foot to find Messi, but it went straight out of bounds.

But just when Barcelona was worried that Manchester City was going to launch a fast attack again, the throw-in was thrown directly to the backfield, Xavi Martinez raised his hand and signaled the players to slow down, and the three central defenders fell back and forth in the backfield.

This suddenly made Barcelona, who had retreated to the half, a little depressed, and the three players in the front field had to press again.

Barcelona's forward press was not papery, and soon forced Manchester City to make a mistake when passing forward, and Barcelona seized the opportunity to play a counterattack.

After Iniesta retreated to receive a pass from his teammate, he turned and started with the ball, and used his skillful ball control skills to take the ball out between Modric and Mascherano and pass it to Messi's feet.

Messi took the ball in the middle, faced Xavi Alonso's step-by-step pressing, and dribbled the ball directly, after passing Xavi Alonso, he was entangled by Xavi Martinez, and when he broke through at an acceleration, the ball went wide, and Kompany grabbed Ibrahimovic to clear the ball and stabbed it directly to the front.

This time it's City's turn to fight back!

The two teams staged a fast-paced offensive battle in the stadium, passing and receiving the ball to each other and cooperating extremely skillfully, which was very efficient, making the scene very smooth and beautiful, and the more than 80,000 fans on the scene also entered the high court at the beginning of the game, and were excited.
