Chelsea and Manchester United are old rivals in the Premier League, and more than 20 days ago, the two teams also started a 'life-and-death struggle' for the league title, plus the two teams have a lot of England national team teammates, and they are very familiar with each other, so this Champions League final was considered by many experts to be the final game before the game, and the game cannot be viewed in a normal light.

It is the sharp knife characters of both teams who decide the final victory!

In other words, the winner of this Champions League final is in the hands of Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Therefore, the handshake and conversation between the two in the pre-game warm-up has become one of the rare highlights before the final.

During the warm-up for the final, it was clear that the entire Luzhniki Stadium was divided into three parts: the Chelsea fan zone, the Manchester United fan zone and the neutral fan zone.

But the interesting thing is that during this time, there was not a trace of boos in the stands from beginning to end, all of them were huge cheers, which made the players on both sides of the stadium warm up work extremely hard, and also contributed their best form, especially the state of Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney, which is very amazing!

The warm-up time of both sides in the final was controlled within half an hour.

The rest of the time was spent in the locker room, and both coaches knew that the final was about the players' on-the-spot performance in the game, not a fixed technical and tactical play.

Because, they are too familiar with each other!

……

As Villas-Boas closed the locker room door, the cacophony coming from inside the pitch came to an abrupt halt, and the attention of the starting eleven was focused on Jose Mourinho.

They all know it...... At this time, Mourinho will certainly have a lot to say.

Indeed it is!

Mourinho first glanced up at the mental outlook of the players, and then nodded with satisfaction after finding that it was good.

"We have been preparing for this Champions League final since we beat Liverpool 3-1 away in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, so we are more prepared, plus we have an all-powerful Ai, we have more reasons to win this Champions League final, but ......" Mourinho changed his voice: "But our opponents Manchester United have more rest than us, they have been preparing for this Champions League final since the end of the league, they have a certain advantage in terms of fitness. But then again, they haven't played for 10 days to keep themselves in shape, and we're different! Five days ago, there was a thrilling super comeback at the new Wembley Stadium! So...... There is no doubt that we are in better form!! ”

Villas-Boas admired Mourinho's incitement very much, and the players who were relatively restrained before, after his encouragement, instantly put their nervousness behind and turned into a blood spill for the next Champions League final at any time!

Meanwhile, in United's dressing room, Ferguson was cheering up his players.

As an experienced championship coach, he knows when to focus on technical and tactical play, and when to focus on the psychology of the players.

"Lads, we're next up for the UEFA Champions League final!! In other words, we only need to win this game to win the championship!! I know no one here other than Evan and Owen has tasted the Champions League!! So guys, you guys have to give everything you have for these 90 minutes! Thus winning the Champions League!! ”

Everyone listened to the passion, especially the veteran Scholes, when Manchester United reversed Bayern to win the Champions League, he failed to participate in the final due to the suspension of accumulating yellow cards, so his goal has always been to follow Manchester United to the Champions League final again, and now with such an opportunity, how can there be any reason to give up? While continuing to listen to the old coach Ferguson's speech, he clenched his fists.

Similarly, the love affair between Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, the Champions League title is the second most prestigious honor in the world after the World Cup winner, and it is the coveted honor of all professional players. The two looked at each other tacitly, and then nodded tacitly.

Obviously confident in the Champions League final!

The camera returns to the Chelsea dressing room.

'I'm sure you remember what I said when I took charge of Stamford Bridge four years ago, right?' Mourinho abruptly shifted the conversation to four years ago.

Me, Jose Mourinho! He is a highly decorated coach!! And you guys, now it's nothing!!

Suddenly, the team's veterans John Terry, Frank Lampard and Claude Makelele suddenly remembered Mourinho's first words on his first day at the Cobham training base.

"And now, you have the opportunity to sue me, and the people of the world...... You guys! Champions League winners!! ”

Knock knock knock -

There was a knock on the locker room door, and the voice of the assistant referee was heard: "The game time is about to start......"

"Alright, guys! Now it's the final stage of the Champions League final, get ready, and in 90 minutes, tell the world that you are the Champions League winners! Mourinho finally clapped his hands and said passionately to the players.

"Let's go!!" Mourinho smashed his fist in the palm of his hand.

※※※

At the same time, players from both sides left their seats and walked out of the locker room, where they converged in different directions towards the players' tunnel.

As soon as he walked out of the locker room, Iroh suddenly remembered a novel written by the athletic god Lin Hai that he had paid attention to before, as if it was raining heavily on the way to the Champions League final in Moscow, so he turned to the assistant coach Boas: "Andre, help me prepare a pair of spikes!" ”

Then, without waiting for Boas to ask rhetorically, he patted his shoulder and kept up with his teammates' movements.

Looking at Ailo who walked away, Boas was a little inexplicable, not that he had already learned from the weather forecast in Guò that the weather in Moscow in recent days was very good, cloudless and sunny......

Why are you preparing spikes? Could it be raining??

Countless question marks immediately appeared on my head.

"What's wrong, Andrey?" Jose Mourinho was the last to walk out of the dressing room, so he was a little puzzled by Villas-Boas standing at the door of the dressing room in a daze.

Boas came back to his senses, and as he walked forward, he told Mourinho the strange plea for help from Iello just now.

"Oh?" Mourinho's eyes lit up, but he had been negligent recently, in the past important games were to prepare two pairs of short spikes and long spikes for the players, but recently he has been too busy to forget these details, so he sternly instructed Boas to let the club staff go to temporarily purchase spikes according to the players' shoe size.

Before the finals, although the coach enlightened and relaxed, when he arrived at the players' tunnel, he still couldn't avoid the tension from the depths of his body and mind.

"Well, the players from both sides of the final have come to the players' tunnel from their respective dressing rooms, which means that the final of the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League season is about to begin......" As the signal cut in, the commentator in the live studio began to speak.

The same can be said for Elo, who has chosen to speak to Ballack and occasionally to Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.

His failure to focus on the direction of the Manchester United players throughout the process made Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney a little dissatisfied. But the problem is that during this time, Iroh has been communicating with his teammates, and he has no intention of looking at the past at all......

What Iroh didn't know was that while he was focusing on decompressing with his teammates, he drew the resentment of his two friends.

※※※

When the referee held the ball for the Champions League final and led the players of both sides out of the tunnel with the two assistant coaches, the stadium radio sounded the Champions League theme song "Champions Europe"

This song is played in every Champions League game, and it is numbing for many players, but not for Iro, and I don't know why, whenever he hears this religious song full of praise, he always feels empowered.

Interestingly, when Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were at the end of the two teams, passed by the silver Champions League trophy between the two teams, they both subconsciously turned their heads to look at it, and secretly swore in their hearts: "Ninety minutes later, you are mine!" ”

Unlike other stadiums, the Luzhniki Stadium has a player tunnel facing the northeast corner flagpole of the pitch, so it takes a little longer for players from both sides to walk to the centre of the pitch.

At the same time, the camera changed from a close-up of the players to a long shot, and the center circle of the stadium is a three-dimensional football iron gate made of the Champions League logo, which contains countless small red hydrogen balloons, which slowly fly into the sky through the exit at the top of the guò, symbolizing Russia's peace-loving and freedom-loving.

On both sides of the pitch, there are also Champions League final volunteers pulling the huge team emblems of both sides of the final to the main stand.

The camera then switches again, returning to the focus of the final, Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo, and using technology to push the camera to the face, giving a close-up.

'The 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League final was played at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, where the temperature was 14 degrees Celsius, and Chelsea and Manchester United were already on the pitch, and it was a good chance for United to win the Champions League for the third time and for Chelsea for the first time...... The spectacular Luzhniki Stadium was a very lively ceremony, with the captains of the two teams, John Terry and Rio Ferdinand, the central defensive partners of the national team, while Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo were their best friends in private...... This well-known final will bring us a different kind of excitement......"

Huang Jianxiang, the commentator of the CCAV-5 station of the Champions League final, said excitedly.

What followed was all the pre-match procedures for a game, with John Terry shaking hands with Manchester United captain Leo Ferdinand as captain, then exchanging flags and guessing sides.

John Terry won the pick but lost the tee off in the right half of the screen he chosen.

In the end, the players of both sides stood up and waited for the referee Michelle's whistle.
