Milan, the fashion capital of the world, Italians have invested almost all their talents in literature and football, so they have created a fashion capital like Milan, so there will be a "small World Cup" known as Serie A, no matter how bad Italy's performance in international politics or military is, but their achievements in literature and art and football are enough to make the world respect.

The San Siro, or Meazza as it is called, is a symbol of Milan football that has played countless classic matches just six kilometres from the centre of Milan, and is home to two Serie A giants, both AC Milan and Inter Milan.

Maybe the Italians do put too much energy into literature and football, so some of their domestic political, economic and management work is very general, such as the San Siro or Meazza stadium, although it is the home of two Serie A giants, but it does not belong to any team, but belongs to the Milan government, logically speaking, whether it is AC Milan owner Berlusconi or Inter Milan owner Moratti is not the owner of the lack of money, but it is a pity that They have enough money to do almost everything they want, but they can't own a stadium.

With the gradual decline of Serie A, Serie A teams have rarely appeared in the Champions League final in recent years, and the era of Serie A sweeping Europe has gradually passed.

The same is true of this year's Champions League, although the venue of the final is placed in San Siro, but the two sides of the final are all from Spain, and this year's Serie A team has not even entered the semi-finals, which makes the Italians a little regretful, and even affected the ticket sales of the final.

Compared with other players in Real Madrid, Liu Han came to Milan for the first time, after all, his professional football career has only just started less than two years, last year at Arsenal he met Fiorentina in the Champions League group stage, and later went to Rome before leaving Arsenal, but did not play against Lazio, and after coming to Real Madrid, he played against Lazio, in addition, Liu Han has never collided with any Serie A team, but this time he came to Milan, the team he wants to face is actually an old acquaintance, Valencia can be regarded as Liu Han's old enemy.

Real Madrid and Valencia both rushed to Milan after the end of the 35th round of the league, compared to Real Madrid's smooth sailing in the league, Valencia has lost hope of winning the league title this season, and even they have the possibility of falling outside the top four of the league, which is not good news for Valencia, if they fail to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final and fall out of the top four in the league, then Valencia will have to play in the Europa League next season. Therefore, for Valencia, the pressure on them in the Champions League final is actually greater than that of Real Madrid.

"Boys, our tactics for this game are very clear, which is to play a decisive battle with Valencia in midfield and use our strength to completely suppress them in midfield. Liu, I need you to come back to midfield and link up the team's attack and defence, and I'm sure the Valencia lads will be happy to see you again. Luiz, you have to be more active on the flanks and add crosses appropriately, because they don't have enough consistency in the centre-back position. ”

In Real Madrid's residence, Bosque explained the tactics to the players uncharacteristically very seriously, and Bosque was very confident in this final, but he did not underestimate Valencia, which is not a relatively easy team to deal with.

As the season draws to a close, Real Madrid have had another successful season, with the league title on the horizon and the Champions League final, and the players ready to celebrate, but before they can do so, they will need to face the next enemy seriously.

On May 23, 2001, the 00-01 Champions League final was officially played at the San Siro in Milan, Italy.

When the Valencia players saw Liu Han in the white jersey again in the players' tunnel, their feelings were mixed, in last season's Champions League match, they could be said to have been defeated by Liu Han alone, this tall Chinese left a big psychological shadow on the Valencia players, from the double in the group stage to the elimination of the semi-finals, Liu Han let Valencia can only silently lick the wound in the corner.

Cooper watched the two teams gradually walk to the field with mixed feelings, last season he had the opportunity to lead the team to the final final, but unfortunately he was disrupted by the annoying oriental, and today, when he led the team to the final, the oriental appeared in front of him again, this feeling made Cooper very unhappy, he even wondered if this oriental was sent by God to punish his unpiety.

Mendieta deliberately stared at each other for a few seconds when shaking hands with Liu Han, he had too deep an image of this tall Oriental, originally he could accept Barcelona's invitation to go to Barcelona at the beginning of this season, but for the resentment in his heart and the earnest retention of the coach, Mendieta finally chose to stay in the team, working hard for the team's Champions League dream, of course, if possible, it is best to really beat Liu Han.

Liu Han saw his strong fighting spirit from Mendieta's eyes, but he didn't care, for this game, Liu Han was bound to win, and nothing could stop him.

With the referee's whistle, the final officially began, with Valencia kicking off first.

Claudio Lopez and high school forward Karui tee off in the center circle.

Compared with last season, Valencia has strengthened a lot this season, not only with the addition of high school striker Norwegian player Kalou, but also the addition of Argentine midfielder Aimar, who was originally the starting center Angulo who was abandoned by Cooper due to poor form.

Lopez passed the ball back to his national team teammate Aimar, Aimar is one of Argentina's emerging stars in recent years, although his position in the national team has been Riquelme's substitute, but I have to admit that he is indeed a very strong player, the height of only 1.7 meters Aimar relied on his flexible running and accurate passing to lead the Argentine national youth team to the World Youth Championship in 97.

After the start of the game, Valencia uncharacteristically launched a direct attack on Real Madrid, changing the tactics of midfield control in the past, but holding high to find the high point of Kalou, which brought a lot of threat to Real Madrid's defense. (To be continued.) )
