Chapter 763: Champions League Final (2)
Rome in May is not too hot, the temperature is very pleasant in the evening around 18 degrees, the Mediterranean climate is very nourishing for men, and it is no wonder that there are so many handsome men in Italy that there are many male models on any football team.
That's right, this season's Champions League final is taking place in Rome, where Inter Milan won the Coppa Italia just over a week after beating Lazio.
Compared to Barcelona, this is also half of Inter's home stadium, from Milan to Roma, it is better than from Milan to any city outside of Italy.
With four days to go before the Champions League final, Inter Milan had already moved to the capital for the final preparations, and even though they were very familiar with it, they still didn't dare to be sloppy.
Even if Inter Milan has a big advantage, in this treacherous football world, it is never fate, and no one knows which dog paw lifted the championship trophy until the moment when the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
As strong as Inter, in fact, most players are already nervous at this time, no matter how strong Inter is strong, in the final analysis, they have not won the Champions League, and even reaching the Champions League final for them is the first time that a big girl is in a sedan chair!
But in recent days, especially after coming to Rome, he has been going to the toilet much more often than usual, so that every time Vardy, who is in the same room with him, wants to use the toilet, he has to rush into the toilet first to pull him up, and then he can sit on it;
Sneijder has become a devout believer, as long as he has free time, he puts his hands together on his chest and makes a prayer, probably either praying for his Champions League final goal or praying for something to happen on Barcelona's side;
Even the old captain Zanetti had a feeling of having trouble sleeping, and there was no difference at all because of age and knowledge.
In short, just as Vardy played in the Champions League final for the first time at Manchester United, there was no one in the team except for Vardy.
Human nature, just like a candle in a cave room, I am afraid that it is only once in this life, when you lift the bride's hijab, can you not be nervous?
It's easy to understand, because you don't know whether it's the country or the beauty of the prosperous world under the red hijab, if it's the latter, imagine Costa's ugly face that can make you chrysanthemum, not to mention nervous, scaring you to death will not pay for your life.
So Vardy has been very prodigal these days, on the one hand, he wants to decompress his teammates in this way, and on the other hand, he is actually really promising.
The pre-match atmosphere intensified, culminating in the arrival of the Barcelona squad in Rome, which meant that the biggest game of the season in European football was really about to begin.
The supporters of both sides are clearly distinguished, no matter how the media analyzes and predicts, they unswervingly support their own teams, and the melon-eating fans are also divided into two factions, arguing endlessly.
Here it is said that Vardy is stronger than Messi, and there is that Barcelona's tactics are more advanced, and here it is the fact that Mourinho is a top manager, and then there is immediately a refutation on the grounds that Mourinho started as a small translator, while Guardiola is a top player and must have a better grasp of the field than Mourinho......
However, it is clear that on the last question, Vardy is at a disadvantage, at least Henry is 1.88 meters tall, nearly 10cm taller than Vardy, according to the ratio of foot length to body length, Vardy has been able to get a rough conclusion, Henry's foot is 44......
It's not a shame to lose to Henry in terms of foot size, but if somewhere also loses in length, you can't look up!
But fortunately, the two of them are not so boring, can they still find a place where no one is there to compare?
Anyway, Vardy wasn't stunned at all!
If you really analyze the lineup and do not consider the addition and increase of tactics, then in fact Inter and Barcelona should be evenly matched.
Comparing them one by one, it is difficult to say who has the advantage, and if you add up according to the value of the players, the gap between the two teams may even be within 10 million euros.
First of all, the goalkeeper position, on the Inter side, Cesar is the number one country in Brazil, and Barcelona's Valdés is the second country in Spain, which is stronger or weaker between the two, it is really difficult to compare;
On the back line, Inter's two central defenders, Materazzi and Samuel, although they are not young, are still outstanding in ability, and have always played the role of the mainstay, McCone on the right is recognized as the world's No. 1 right-back, and Maxwell on the left is also a top fullback, such a defense, even the captain Zanetti can only sit on the bench as a substitute.
On Barcelona's side, because Alves and Abidal, the pair of main fullbacks, were suspended, so that Puyol had to pull to the right, Yaya Toure and Pique appeared in the central defender position, and Silvinho appeared in the left fullback position.
If Barcelona's defense line is neat, then it will definitely not be inferior to Inter, but now the improvised patchwork defense line is obviously a hidden danger, and at this point, Inter is already in the lead.
In terms of midfield, it is the strongest place in Barcelona, and the golden iron triangle of Habaib is even faintly above the iron triangle composed of Xiaobei and Shuangde of the England national team, with organization, assault, defense, and a clear division of labor.
Coupled with Messi's retreat from time to time, Barcelona's midfield control is unparalleled in the world, and even Inter Milan is difficult to match.
On the side of Inter, the combination of Sneijder, Cambiasso and Stankovic may be stronger in defense than the Barcelona midfielder, but in terms of attack and organization, they are not opponents at all, which is also where Inter is inferior to Barcelona, and it is impossible to admit it if you want to.
On the front line, Barcelona is at the forefront of the cheetah Eto'o, on the left is the great Henry, on the right is the soul of the team, Messi, the offensive combination of the three is terrifying, daunting.
In comparison, Inter's side is definitely not inferior, and even surpasses.
Needless to say, Ibrahimovic, the status of the Swedish tower in football is definitely higher than Eto'o, and even now it is not inferior, in terms of ability, it is also more comprehensive, and it is more able to cooperate with Vardy;
Although the little Mancini on the left is not stingy, as long as he can play seriously, his ability can also rank in the top five among the wide players, and in terms of role, he is also greater than Henry, who is declining in form with increasing age and cannot play his full strength on the side;
Then, there is the comparison between Vardy and Messi, in this position, Vardy wins!
On the whole, the lineup configuration of Inter and Barcelona is actually comparable, which is why some people are optimistic that Barcelona can overturn Inter.
However, for these fans, more fans can completely refute Vardy's past performances.
As we all know, Manchester United's squad configuration is not worthy of the status of the top giants in many cases, but Vardy can lead a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs to defeat opponents far stronger than himself and win the Champions League, doesn't this tell the story!
No matter how strong the opponent is, it is useless, Vardy is authoritarian and disobedient, the stronger the opponent, the more combative Vardy is, the more energetic, the more crazy he is, and as a result, the more miserable the opponent.
Can Barcelona withstand a full-fledged Vardy?
It's difficult, at least for Pep Guardiola, and it's an unavoidable problem.
Because you can't always communicate calmly with a very unreasonable person, and Vardy is like that, and you can't prevent a very unreasonable Vardy.
Perhaps many Barcelona fans firmly believe that Barcelona can win, but they also think that Vardy may score goals and break through Barcelona's goal, and Barcelona will win if they can score more goals than Inter.
In the markets and odds offered by major European bookmakers, Vardy's odds of not scoring are 29 to 1, which is quite exaggerated, as if it was decided that Vardy would definitely score.
In the odds of who will score first, Vardy's odds to score first are 1.15 to one, which is outrageously small, and the other players on both sides combined are just Vardy's foils, including Messi.
......
At the pre-match press conference, Guardiola and Mourinho didn't know if they had discussed it in advance, and they unanimously made a declaration of victory in front of reporters.
In terms of verbal warfare, even if Guardiola grows a full head of hair on the top of his head in the spring, he is probably not Mourinho's opponent, and if Mourinho is ruthless, he will definitely be able to make Guardiola bald again.
However, Mourinho doesn't know if he has been with Vardy for a long time, but he seems to have changed sex, and he rarely goes to fight with others anymore, he prefers to pretend invisibly, first let the team win the opponent with a full face, and then put on a high-ranking appearance, and even the Inter players can't stand it.
However, this game is also true, there is no need for a war of words, and it is not a shouting and desperately trying to make excuses for yourself after losing, that seems to be a lot.
On the contrary, Guardiola is a little bit of a joke with Mourinho, but under Mourinho's light breeze, it did not make a little wave, so that reporters feel that when the two coaches go out today, they must have taken the wrong persona!
Interestingly, when the reporters asked the two managers who was stronger Vardy or Messi, Mourinho had not yet spoken, and Guardiola blurted out a sentence "Messi is stronger!" I can't help but look sideways.
Just like in the previous life, when Ronaldo and Messi sang the two turns, world football was divided into two factions, people who have a relationship with Messi say that Messi is the strongest, those who have a relationship with Ronaldo say that Ronaldo is the strongest, and those who have a relationship with both of them say that the two are as strong.
And now Guardiola's behavior is actually the same as the above-mentioned effect, because Messi is in the team, can he still say that Vardy is stronger.
It's just that the reporters are a little scoffed at this, who is stronger, don't you have a point in your heart?
Even Mourinho next to him looked at Guardiola with a strange look, and that look clearly seemed to be looking at a stupid beep.
Are you so hairless that your brain is frozen?
It is recognized in world football that Vardy is the first person, and Messi can only be regarded as a catch-up at most.
When Pep Guardiola's words appeared in front of the fans through the media, even Messi's fans were a little embarrassed, in fact, they didn't feel that way......
The atmosphere before the game is always lively, but the players on both sides have no way to be interviewed, which is the club's decision, for fear that they will be influenced by public opinion.
Vardy was teasing in the team, but he was also thinking.
This game, I'm afraid, is not as simple as imagined.
Not to mention the strength of Barcelona when it won several championships in advance, if you simply analyze off-field factors, there is no doubt that Barcelona is very advantageous.
Who is Who's own son?
Who is Who's godson?
Vardy was too lazy to say that everyone knew that.
Maybe Barcelona really has the strength to win the championship, and there is definitely a fundamental difference between winning the championship with the strength and winning the championship in other ways.
Vardy definitely doesn't want to meet a referee in the Champions League final who sometimes pretends to be blind and sometimes has a bright eye, nor does he want to meet an actor lying on the ground with his eyes covered and peeking at the referee, otherwise, everything will be uncertain.
Honest, Vardy is not afraid of anyone, he is afraid that someone is not upright, and he is not ashamed at all, for such a person, Vardy just wants to slap him hard.
Tease is not toxic and harmless, but the way some people win the championship has hurt the whole world football.
Don't say that misjudgment is part of football, I don't care if you're blind, but you should be blind to everyone!
Is it a misjudgment, don't you have a little pressure in your heart?
I hope everything is calm, Inter Milan wins the championship smoothly, Vardy is tired, even if it is a tease, he doesn't want unexpected accidents to happen around him, he wants to quietly lift the championship trophy, is it difficult?
No one is uglier than anyone else, no one is more noble than anyone else, you pass two more balls and think you are the savior who saves world football?
Should the fans of the world kneel in front of you and bow to you, and reverently raise the championship trophy above your head and put it in your hands?
If you still want to make a profit with this tactic, then I don't mind slapping you in the face at all!
You don't deserve victory, you don't deserve championships, you don't deserve glory, you don't deserve the cheers of the fans!
Vardy didn't know when he was about to become angry again, and it seemed that the resentment of his previous life had not subsided.
It's just that he feels that his worries are not unreasonable, some things are not diverted by any little butterfly wings, virtue is still that virtue, urine is still that urine, can you still expect the dog to change to eat Xiang?
