Chapter 580: This Is a War, Not a Competition!

Stamford Bridge, 28 May.

The Chelsea and Barcelona players have finished their warm-up and are back in the dressing room, waiting for the game to begin, while the coaches of both sides are preparing their pre-match speeches and some arrangements.

However, the starting lists of both teams have been released, and TV stations around the country have begun to analyze and evaluate the starting lists, and the fiery atmosphere has begun to brew before the game.

Barcelona have had some changes in tactics and line-up since Martino took charge, but overall it wasn't too big, and this time he fielded the full squad without injury.

The formation remained 433, with goalkeeper ValdΓ©s, centre-backs Gerard Pique and Mascherano partnered, and the two full-backs were Alba and Alves.

Sergio Busquets is still in charge at the back, followed by Cesc Fabregas and Andres Iniesta.

Xavi sat on the bench because of his age, like Puyol.

There are three people in the front, namely Messi in the middle, Neymar and Sanchez on the wing.

This squad can be said to be very strong, especially Messi and Neymar, the two players, who have very good skills under their feet, and are extremely difficult to defend during the game, and will definitely become a big enemy in the Chelsea backline.

Chelsea are still in the standard 4231 formation, with Petr Cech in goal, and the four defenders being Gary Cahill, John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic and Ashley Cole.

At the back is a combination of Frank Lampard and Ramirez, with Oscar in the middle, Eden Hazard on the left and Schurrle on the right.

At the forefront, it is naturally the omnipotent Lin Yu.

Jose Mourinho met the demands of John Terry and Frank Lampard. Let them start, and now Chelsea have Gundogan and Luiz in the main positions.

Of course. John Terry and Frank Lampard have shown what they can do in the previous games, they were on the pitch. It can also play the role of fixing the needle of the sea, after all, they are all old players, they are more experienced, and they can also be in danger.

The commentators can also tell the almost unchanged lineup of these two teams, who will be under more pressure, and so on.

But in fact, whether it is Barcelona or Chelsea, frequent changes between frontcourt players are very common, and Lin Yu may be a striker at the beginning. Maybe kicking and kicking, he will switch places with Oscar.

Eden Hazard may start on the left, but after a while, he may go to the right, and everyone has experienced a lot of good players and knows when to choose the most suitable position to play.

Barcelona is the same, even if Messi appears on the side, it is not surprising, except for the position of the defender on the field, there are many variables in other positions.

in the locker room. The managers of both teams have started to make some demands on the players, and of course, these are more details.

Jose Mourinho and Barcelona have played each other many times, despite Martino's tenure. Barcelona has changed a little, but the whole Barcelona is still dominated by attack and possession. It's just a little bit more long passing.

Martino hasn't played against Chelsea, but everyone knows it. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea have always been known for their counter-attacking defence, if they don't have the confidence to hold them down. Then you must have to pay attention to defense, otherwise if a monster like Lin Yu gets a single chance, it will be like looking for death.

For the tactical requirements, the two coaches did not say much, grinding the gun in battle, even if it is gone, it is useless, both sides are not cowards, they can't be scared, only when the tip of the gun is sharpened, can they get twice the result with half the effort during the game.

And the two teams have always insisted on their own style of play, maybe when they encounter a weak team, they will try a new way of playing, but when they encounter a strong team of the other team's level, most of them will stick to their own style of play.

Winning by surprise, maybe you can take advantage of it at the beginning, but after a long time, you can't hold it, or play steadily and steadily, which is the best policy.

After the tactical reminders and requirements, the next step is the "sensationalism" that the managers are best at.

Pre-game reprimands, sometimes the effect is really much more useful than the previous player, good reprimands, can completely improve the team's morale and fighting spirit, from the beginning of the opponent completely down, so that the opponent can not raise his head.

"We've worked hard for most of the season, we've killed countless opponents, and we've slapped countless people who look down on us in the face! So in this last game, I don't think anyone wants to be slapped in the face, right? It's a man, then stick to it until the end, don't leak so early! Mourinho shook his fist and said to the players with an impassioned expression.

……

"Who is number one in the world? Who is the European champion? We! It's us in Barcelona! Are we afraid of a team that only plays defensive counter-attacks and retreats? We have the best players in the world! The best training in the world! There is no reason why we should lose to Chelsea! Martino is also encouraging his team, and the two coaches have different words, but they both mean the same thing.

……

"Of course, the media boast that we are a new generation of Cosmos Team! This is something to be proud of! But I hope you don't get too proud of it, Barcelona's attack is terrible, and if you are not careful, you can be doomed! It's good to have fighting spirit, but you must not lose your vigilance because of this, whether it is Messi or Neymar, you must be optimistic about me, and you must not let them score! "It's up to morale, but you can't make the players too proud, Mourinho knows very well that football is about balance, and sometimes high morale is not necessarily a good thing.

……

"Team Cosmos? Do they deserve it? It's not that I look down on Chelsea, leaving Lin Yu, they are nothing! Pique! Mascherano, you remember, you can't let Lin Yu have a chance to get the ball today, let alone give him a chance to shoot! As long as Lin Yu is sealed, they are finished. Martino named Lin Yu because for him, Lin Yu was indeed an inevitable danger. If you don't defend Lin Yu, no matter how good the team's attack is. That's going to be a problem, too.

……

Jose Mourinho: "Can the Chelsea dynasty be built today? It's up to you, I just hate not being able to go to the court with you right now! For our dynasty! For our glory! We have to work hard! And also...... I think many people have not forgotten the Stamford Bridge tragedy. We lost that game badly, but now that it's a fact, it's not interesting to talk about it anymore, and I say it now because I think you can beat your opponent with your strength and turn the page of humiliation! ”

……

Martino: "They always talk about the Stamford Bridge game, I wasn't your coach at the time, but I think it's the ones who don't have the quality to make excuses! Today. Here, it's Stamford Bridge, you have to beat them with your strength and silence them completely! I believe that for Mourinho, some of you players hate him more than me, he once went wild at the Camp Nou, and even poked Vilanova's eyes with his hand, this kind of person does not deserve to be called a world famous coach, let's tear off the mask of his coach today. ”

……

The emotions of the Chelsea players have been stirred. To use hatred, to use the pursuit of glory, whatever it is, in short, the players are really united now. I can't wait to go on the pitch and compete with my opponents.

Their bodies are trembling!

It's not about being scared, it's about being excited! It's the excitement that needs to be played to be able to vent!

"Men's football is a man's sport. And not a sport for boys! They call us rude, and that's because they fall down at the touch of a like a! They said we fouled. That's because they know how to fake fall! What Cosmos Team? What is the first in the world? These are empty words! It's a man, all you have to do is do your best to win this game! Don't care what people say. As long as we don't underestimate ourselves, that's enough! ”

"Can it be done? Defeat the coat of beautiful football and make football more pure? ”

"Yes!"

The emotions of the team members were mobilized again, as if a pack of wild beasts were howling.

"Remember, if we want to win the Champions League twice in a row, and if we want to do what our predecessors failed to do, we have to work harder than they did! It's been a tough season, we've done a lot of training, we've been through a lot of difficulties, and now, today, it's the perfect time to test us! ”

"Your teammate Lin Yu is leaving Chelsea, do you want him to take away any regrets? I know that the relationship between you is very deep, and since this is the case, it is even more important to let him leave happily and let him fulfill his long-cherished wish in the last game! ”

……

"They're six-time champions? No! You always have to remember that the first to win the six crowns was Barcelona! It's not Chelsea! They still want to win two consecutive Champions League titles after the restructuring? Delusion! The championship is ours! Martino's emotions gradually became excited, he was actually very jealous and envious of Pep Guardiola's achievements in Barcelona, so he also wanted to win a glorious six-time crown!

Now, his team has won the league championship, won the Copa del Rey, and then, as long as he wins the Champions League, then the three most important titles have already been obtained, what La Liga Super Cup, European Super Cup, Club World Cup, it is only a matter of time.

Once because of the consecutive championships, Barcelona's players had a kind of championship fatigue, they began to become numb, without the enthusiasm and pursuit they once had, but after the painful lesson of being humiliated by Bayern 7:0, they finally woke up again.

Martino is fortunate to have a more scrappy and ambitious team, in which Cesc Fabregas, Neymar, Alexis Sanchez and Jordi Alba are all desperate to win a Champions League to prove their quality.

And Messi has also become scrappy because of Lin Yu's qualification, he has begun to decline because of injuries, and now he is once again announcing to the world that "I, Messi, are back!" ”

Once the world's No. 1, how could he allow Lin Yu to be trampled underfoot? He was not reconciled, and he was even more unconvinced, so he had to do his best to finish this game.

In Barcelona's dressing room, the players were clenched tightly and their emotions were mobilized.

Two managers, two different reprimands, but the effect is the same, maybe today's game will really turn into a battle of dragons and tigers, and neutral fans must be feasting their eyes.

……

"Some media say that our Premier League teams are playing too savagely, so let's show them savage today! Don't care about anything, after the opening, you have to play harder! Kick harder! To scare them! A team like Barcelona is most afraid of a team with a tenacious style, and you happen to be their nemesis! Don't be afraid of a yellow card, as long as you don't get a red card, there is no problem! ”

"That's right! Get those back to Barcelona! Terry clenched his fists and yelled.

For a moment, there was a deafening roar in the Chelsea dressing room, and everyone hated the same enemy, already treating Barcelona as a real enemy, and this Champions League final as a battlefield, not just a game.

Lin Yu clenched his fist, although he has no enmity with Barcelona, but as a Chelsea player, he has the responsibility to feed Chelsea for revenge.

And as a player who is about to transfer to Real Madrid, he also has the responsibility to kill Barcelona and bring a generous gift to the future club. (To be continued......)
