No. 801: "Win against Arsenal because we are Manchester United!" ”
The Arsenal dressing room, with excitement and nervousness.
When the championship is within reach, no one is immune to vulgarity and tension.
Chen Fan closed his eyes and imagined in his mind the pictures of the difficulties he might encounter, and then what way he should use to solve the difficulties he faced.
He uses this as a way to defuse his tensions.
Cesc Fabregas couldn't stop drinking water, and Song wiped his face again and again.
"It's okay, my face is going to be scratched......"
Van Persie wanted to say that no matter how much you rub it, you can't become white.
If these words are spoken, they will definitely cause Song's dissatisfaction and be suspected of racism.
Song's hand was stunned for a moment, he slowly put down the towel, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Isn't it nervous, so I have to find something to do." ”
"Where can you be like the two of you, like someone who has nothing to do."
As he spoke, Song glanced at Chen Fan, who seemed to be closing his eyes and recuperating.
"People who have been in the World Cup final are really different......
Cesc Fabregas no longer drank water and sighed.
Chen Fan opened his eyes and was about to speak, Wenger's cough sounded, and he had no choice but to pout and shift his gaze to Wenger.
"I'm going to start by announcing tonight's starting lineup."
"Goalkeeper: Almunia; Four defenders: Klicy, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Sagna; Three midfielders: Diaby, Song, Ramsey; Three forwards: Arshavin, Chen, Robin van Persie. ”
Four, three, three!
Arsene Wenger is attacking tonight!
The Arsenal players understood Wenger's tactical guidance from the lineup, and Van Persie and Chen Fan exchanged glances, then nodded.
"At the beginning of the game, we have to be cautious, pay attention to safety when moving the ball, and don't give the opponent a chance to steal at the back."
Arsene Wenger began to work on specific tactical arrangements.
After arranging the tactics, he began to mobilize: "For us, the vast majority of the players are playing in the Champions League final for the first time, and nervousness is inevitable.
Appropriate tension is conducive to our technical and tactical level, but excessive tension is easy to make us deformed and not clear-headed.
So after the game, we have to focus on the game as soon as possible. ”
He exhaled a long breath and said: "This is the second Champions League final I have led the team to, and I hope that tonight I will no longer be the biggest loser, but the final winner!" ”
He paused, and his voice suddenly raised: "Children, tonight is a history-making night!" ”
"Now that we've set and rewritten so many records in the history of the club and football in the past two seasons, we're going to write a new piece of club history tonight!"
Van Persie took a deep breath and said, "Good! Brothers, make tonight a great night for us! ”
Song said loudly: "Arsenal will win!" ”
This sound ignited the passion in the hearts of the Arsenal players, and they shouted: "Arsenal will win!" ”
……
Unlike the enthusiasm in the Arsenal dressing room, the atmosphere in the United dressing room is depressing.
The clubbing incident did have a profound impact on United's preparations, and Giggs and Scholes, who knew Ferguson well, had never seen Ferguson laugh all day.
Ferguson quickly broke the gloom in the dressing room and said in a deep voice: "We are proud to have reached the Champions League final three times in four years!" ”
"After the new century, only we have achieved this great achievement!"
In the 11 years since 2000, the teams that have reached the most finals in the Champions League have been AC Milan and Manchester United, who have reached the final three times.
AC Milan have reached three finals in five years, winning the trophy twice.
Manchester United had reached the Champions League final in the 07-08 and 08-09 seasons for two consecutive years, including a penalty shoot-out victory over Chelsea in the 07-08 season, standing at the top of Europe for the second time in their history.
In the 08-09 season, they lost 0-2 at the feet of Barcelona at their peak, allowing Barcelona to achieve an unprecedented six crowns in that year.
That was the year that Barcelona was dubbed the "Cosmos Team" by fans.
Judging from the record of the Champions League in the new century, Manchester United is indeed proud enough.
The gloom in the hearts of the Manchester United players was driven away by Ferguson's words, and their faces slowly changed, and their mood was no longer gloomy.
"Tonight is the time for us to prove ourselves again in front of the fans all over the world!"
Ferguson's voice suddenly increased, and the fighting spirit in the locker room sprung up like mushrooms!
"Win against Arsenal because we are Manchester United!"
After Ferguson's words, the dressing room was completely boiling, and the gloom in the hearts of Manchester United players disappeared without a trace.
Yes, we are Manchester United, so we have to beat Arsenal!
Paul Scholes exclaimed: "We're going to make this a night for Manchester United, we're going to make red the main colour for tonight!" ”
As members of Manchester United's 96 golden generation, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are the undisputed leaders of United's dressing room.
His words were supported by a large number of players.
Nani said: "Coach, how do you play, we are so big, we will definitely not give Arsenal any chance tonight!" ”
United's stars turned their attention to Alex Ferguson.
Ferguson thought for a moment and said: "Arsenal are stronger than we thought, so we have to be prepared for difficulties. Chen and Robin van Persie, in particular, are very strong in attack. ”
"We even have to be mentally prepared to be behind."
Remembering the record between the two teams in the past two years, the hearts of the Manchester United players sank.
'Of course, we could have scored first and taken the lead.'
Looking back at the last few meetings between the two teams, United did open the scoring in three games, but they were unable to maintain their advantage until the end of the game.
Ferguson said solemnly: "Why did we take the lead three times in the last three times and finally be overtaken by the other party? ”
'That's why our thinking is still stuck in previous years, stuck in 'Arsenal will only play downwind, not against the wind', and that has proven to be completely wrong, at least for the last two years.
"So, tonight we have to change our thinking, especially after the lead, we can't let up any of them. Even if we are two or three goals ahead, we can't relax! ”
"We're going to be mentally prepared to devote every minute of each and every 90 minutes tonight!"
The Manchester United stars took a deep breath and nodded silently.
Arsenal are really different now than they were in previous years, they are terrible in their tenacity when they are down by the scoreline, which is very much like Manchester United.
"I'll announce the starting line-up: Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar; Four defenders: Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Da Silva; Four midfielders: Ryan Giggs, Carrick, Nani, Scholes; Two strikers: Berbatov, Wayne Rooney. ”
When the final name was pronounced, the dressing room fell into a deathly silence, and Fernandes looked surprised, he thought he might start for Wayne Rooney tonight, but ......
Rooney's face was full of shock!
