Chapter 654: The Champions League Final Begins

.^8^1^.

Millwall fans celebrate the victory early.

They cheered and hugged in the stands, some fans drank prepared beers, and fireworks were set off in the back rows of spectators, and they didn't know how the fans brought in, which also caused chaos in the stands.

Amid the chaos in the stands all around, Millwall and Cardiff City played as normal.

The players on the field didn't have much to think about.

Millwall will definitely win, Cardiff City have no hope at all, their players know they don't have a chance, they just wait for the game to end, and when Millwall don't attack, they don't even have the heart to go forward and scramble.

At this time, the Cardiff City players have already become, "If you lose, you lose, it's not a shame to lose to Millwall, anyway, we are also the runners-up of the FA Cup, and we have won a great honor." ”

"And next year, you can still play in the Europa League......"

In this mentality, the game became boring, and the rest became garbage time, and when the 90 minutes were over, the referee did not even give a minute of stoppage time, and decisively blew the whistle for the end of the game.

At that moment, the audience was boiling!

"Congratulations Millwall!"

"FA Cup winner! FA Cup winners! It's not the first time Millwall have won the FA Cup, which also belonged to Millwall last season, but this season is special because they have won all the leagues, League Cups and other cups. ”

"The FA Cup, their sixth title!"

'Now the FA Cup belongs to Millwall and they only have one game left – the Champions League final!'

"I'm sure the Millwall fans, the Millwall club, and even everybody, have already seen the next game, and for Millwall an FA Cup doesn't seem like much because they still have this unfinished journey, but whatever that game is, Millwall must have had a great season and they have won all the titles in English football."

'It's a great opportunity, not even Manchester United, Liverpool before Millwall.

"Even if they haven't won the Champions League yet, they have created brilliance, and the glory belongs to Millwall!"

"Millwall, let's remember the name......"

Amid the shouts of the commentators, all the Millwall players lined up and bowed to thank the fans.

After that, it was the award ceremony.

As you can tell from the performance of the players, they are not too excited, and the process of celebrating is all 'formatted', which is almost equivalent to superficial work.

At the award ceremony, the players just accepted the award normally, without very excited shouts or anything like that, and Prince Andrew, who was in charge of the award, smiled bitterly.

After handing over the trophy to Maurice, Prince Andrew turned to Zhang Yang and said, "I really don't want you to win." Because the FA Cup is nothing to you, there is no atmosphere for awards at all. ”

'If it was that Welsh team, the scenario would have been completely different.

Zhang Yang smiled and listened.

After Andrew finished complaining, Zhang Yang asked about something of interest, "It is said that Ferguson's knighthood was awarded by Her Majesty after Manchester United won the treble in 99. ”

"As if to reward Ferguson for his contribution to English football?"

"yes?"

Prince Andrew didn't react for a while.

Zhang Yang smiled, "You see my contribution scolding? We've won the league three years in a row, we've won all of them this year, and of course, we're one side away from the Champions League, so I think Millwall's glory has surpassed Manchester United, right? I also hope that in the future, someone will call me Sir Zhang Yang. ”

Prince Andrew didn't expect Zhang Yang to bring up this topic at all, and he really began to imagine it--

Millwall can win the Champions League trophy, and Millwall, led by Zhang Yang, has created brilliance that clearly surpasses Manchester United.

What to do then?

Ferguson was awarded the Order of the British Sir for the glory of Manchester United, and was called 'Sir Alex Ferguson'.

What now?

Although Ferguson was also British, the Order of the British Knights, regardless of nationality, was awarded to people who had made a special contribution to the United Kingdom.

The young people in front of us have contributed a lot, Millwall has not only achieved brilliant results, but there are also many outstanding players who have entered the England national team.

So......?

What if there is no badge at that time, what will happen if Zhang Yang goes around and says?

The British royal family can't favor one over the other!

Prince Andrew felt a little difficult to do, he felt that there was a huge problem in front of him, and suddenly he thought of something and asked Zhang Yang, "I heard that your company seems to be called Zhang's Investment?" ”

"Right?"

"Your company has made a big move recently, and many people have heard that you are shorting the stock market?"

Zhang Yang smiled and did not deny it.

Ordinary people probably don't know the situation, and they don't even know that he has an investment company, but the people in the upper class have a wide range of channels, and the news must not be hidden.

"Can you tell me why you did that?"

"Make money!"

"Make money?"

Prince Andrew tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Of course I do. Well, do you think the stock market will fall? ”

Zhang Yang hesitated, looked left and right, and then whispered, "I judge that it will fall, if His Royal Highness the Prince has spare money, he can follow the trend and press, maybe there will be a good income." ”

Prince Andrew hesitated, "I'm going to think about it. ”

Zhang Yang smiled.

After the award ceremony, with the cheers of the audience, Andrew found Zhang Yang again, "No matter what, I will fight for you, but the result is not guaranteed." ”

"Thank you."

Zhang Yang didn't care, he just thought it was interesting, and said casually, if there is really a medal to win, he can be called 'knight' in the UK in the future.

It's very comfortable!

In modern society, royal titles are more symbolic and have little practical use.

Millwall didn't celebrate the FA Cup in any way, and even most of the fans just cheered and were happy about winning the FA Cup, as if the FA Cup was just a small title and didn't know how to celebrate.

Everyone is waiting for the last game.

The next morning, the club held a press conference for the FA Cup winners, and Zhang Yang did not talk about the FA Cup, but directly talked about the next game, "We don't need to celebrate, because we haven't reached the moment to celebrate. ”

"Everyone is waiting for the last game. We're not there yet, until the end of that game. ”

Then the media was talking about the Champions League final.

Champions League final.

The duel between Millwall and Manchester United.

This is a civil war for English clubs, and many people are more optimistic about Millwall, because in the past three seasons, Millwall have never lost to Manchester United, even in Moscow, there are more people who are optimistic about Millwall.

But United still have a lot of supporters.

Manchester United is one of the most successful clubs in the world, with many fans all over the world, and their influence is not comparable to that of Millwall, who have risen to prominence for a short time.

Many media have also expressed their support and optimism for Manchester United.

There is an article published in Manchester Sport, signed by former Manchester United legend, now French film and television star and director Eric Cantona, who believes that the ultimate winner of the Champions League will be Manchester United.

In this article, we use the comparison of players to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of Manchester United and Millwall, and conclude that 'Manchester United will lift the Champions League trophy in Moscow'.

In addition, Torre Flo, a famous player in English football, used historical tradition to analyze the matches between the two teams, "In the past three times against national opponents, two Champions Cups have been won by teams at the bottom of the league table. ”

"So Manchester United will be the winners!"

Torre Flo's statement sounds good because I don't know why, but the only time it wasn't 'taken away by the top team in the league' was when Millwall took on Chelsea last season and ended up beating Chelsea to win the Champions League.

Now that the two warring parties have become Millwall and Manchester United, this 'traditional history' is completely untenable.

There are also many media commenting on the game, and various analysis reports are emerging one after another, but before going to Moscow, both teams are silent, no players have come forward to talk about the game, and Ferguson and Zhang Yang have tacitly agreed not to make a statement.

Silence seems to breed an explosion.

On May 21, the first group of the tournament, the two teams arrived in Moscow.

From Domodedovo International Airport to the Luzhniki Stadium, red and white posters of the game representing Manchester United and Millwall appear every few hundred meters on dozens of kilometres of the road, as if to guide the way to tens of thousands of British fans.

British fans are the mainstream crowd that the event attracts.

Two days before the game, a large number of British fans began to enter Moscow, and Moscow hotels and bars were sold out early.

This has led to a law and order crisis.

The relationship between Britain and Russia is absolutely not friendly, and the poisoning of Russian agent Litvinenko last year made the relationship between Britain and Russia very tense for a while, and Russian and British fans are still hot-tempered, and the Moscow police have sent a large number of police forces to maintain law and order, and police patrols can be seen on the streets 24 hours a day.

In order to ensure the safety of the Champions League final, the British and Russian police have also put aside their previous suspicions and worked together.

The British police sent 60 experienced officers to Moscow to assist the Moscow police in keeping a close eye on British fans in Moscow.

British Airways has added extra flights to transport fans from both teams, and when the planes arrive in Moscow, Russia has also scheduled for fans from both sides to land at different airports.

This will avoid premature contact between fans on both sides.

The night before the game, the media finally interviewed Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, who was not as arrogant as before, but gave people a very low-key feeling, "This long game is not only a Champions League final for Manchester United, but also a mental challenge. ”

'It's like the outside world says, we haven't won against Millwall in three seasons and every player thinks 'can we win this time' and I tell them that winning or losing one game has nothing to do with other games.

"I believe we are no less than Millwall."

'Anyone has to admit now that Millwall are the toughest opponents, but it's not about the results and I'm sure the win will be for Manchester United'......
