Chapter 291: A Special Gift
More than a week has passed since the earthquake struck, and as rescue efforts continue to work around the clock, more and more people buried under the rubble have been rescued. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
While the rescue is being carried out, the reconstruction of the disaster area is also in full swing.
Donations from all walks of life are being delivered to the disaster area from all over the country.
After experiencing life and death, the people in the disaster area who had fallen into despair began to rebuild their homes with grief in their hearts.
While the people in the disaster area are in full swing to rebuild their homes, Manchester United players in Carrington are sweating their sweat for their treble dreams.
More than £1 million in donations raised by Manchester United have already arrived in the affected areas. Manchester United's move has received a lot of praise at home. They have a large number of fans in China, and after Dong Wang and Yu Liang joined successively, Manchester United is the home team in the minds of many Chinese fans, and now after this good deed, it has attracted countless fans.
Manchester United fans are no slouch either, and in just one week, more than £50,000 has been raised on Manchester United's official website, which has also been used to rebuild the affected area.
In the run-up to the European Champions League, most Chinese fans are there to support Manchester United on a one-sided basis.
After two days of preparation in Carrington, the players arrived in Moscow by plane. There are only two days to go until the final day, during which the United players will need to adjust to the weather in Moscow. Time is tight for the players.
On their first day in Moscow, the United players had an open training session near the Luzhniki Stadium.
Due to the long journey, the content of the training is relatively simple, and the main focus is on recovery. Even so, there were quite a few fans gathered around the stadium to watch the training.
As the Champions League match day approaches, the city of Moscow is full of Champions League elements, and countless Champions League flags are hung on both sides of the streets.
Fans from all over the world strolled the streets of Moscow, enjoying the exotic atmosphere and waiting for a final.
After arriving at the Luzhniki Stadium by bus, the United players quickly followed the coaching staff into the stadium and began to train on the pitch.
"Damn!"
As soon as he stepped onto the pitch and stepped on the hard turf, Ronaldo couldn't help but complain.
Due to the climate, the Luzhniki Stadium is entirely covered with artificial turf.
The artificial turf is hard and tough, and the friction is large, which will affect the rolling of the football on the turf, which will naturally affect the tackle effect of the players.
At the same time, the artificial turf foundation is hard, and the elastic force of the football on it is too great, and the players have less control over the football, which will increase the players' mistakes. In addition, the hard foundation will affect the movement of the players on the court, which will increase the load on the ankles and knees of the players, and increase the probability of injury.
Of course, there are similar studies and comparisons done by research institutes, and they have found that playing or training on artificial turf does not increase the chance of injury for players, but on the contrary, certain types of injuries will reduce the risk of injury as a result.
However, there is also another study that shows that playing or training on artificial turf does not increase the chance of injury to players, but ankle sprains do occur frequently.
Because of the cushioning effect of the soil, it will play a good role in protecting the ankles of the players, which will reduce the elasticity of the football and facilitate the control of the players. This is also the real reason why major European clubs have spared no expense and manpower to adopt real grass.
For players who are used to real grass, artificial turf is nothing short of a disaster.
Especially for players like Ronaldo, who like to play tricks, they should pay more attention to artificial turf, and if they are not careful, their ankles may be sprained to varying degrees.
Another point is that the artificial turf is not conducive to high-speed sprints.
Because of the hard foundation, you can only choose short spikes or broken spikes to kick the ball on artificial turf, and the grip is obviously not comparable to real grass.
So although artificial turf has a big impact on Ronaldo, it is also not a small impact on Chelsea.
The stadium factor is affecting both sides.
Ronaldo only complained for a while, and quickly threw himself into the warm-up.
They will only need to get familiar with the artificial turf as soon as possible if they will be able to perform better tomorrow night.
Chelsea also entered the pitch for a training session at the end of the United session and headed to the press hall for their pre-match press conference, and they couldn't help but complain when they stepped on the artificial turf for the first time.
Manchester United and Chelsea were already familiar with each other, so in the pre-match press conference, both sides were relatively calm, and after the usual questions from reporters, the press conference ended. For both sides, any words at this time seem a little redundant, and only tomorrow after 90 minutes of real kicks will we know who wins and who loses.
The sun sets and the sun rises, and the day of the Champions League final is finally here.
Moscow had a sunny sky a few days ago, but today the sky was full of dark clouds, adding a bit of depression and dreary to the already tense Champions League final day.
After spending the day in the hotel, the players took the bus to the stadium after dinner.
"Here's a special gift for you!"
After the players warmed up inside the pitch and returned to the dressing room, Ferguson pulled out an envelope.
The players looked at the envelope with great curiosity, wondering what kind of special gift it was.
"It's a letter from the fans!"
Hearing that it was just a letter from the fans, the Manchester United players immediately lost interest.
"A letter from a heavenly fan!"
Immediately, all the players stopped what they were doing and looked at Ferguson.
"I'm sorry, Yu, I think you should read this letter to everyone!"
Yu Liang walked up to Ferguson's side, took the envelope, and was shocked to find that the letter came from Sichuan Province.
Yu Liang probably knew the meaning of the letter.
The first thing that catches your eye when you open the envelope is a photograph of a dozen children wearing Manchester United jerseys and smiling brightly.
The line on the top of the photograph indicates that they are a team from a secondary school, and it is clear that their faith is the Red Devils Manchester United.
Unfolding the letter, Yu Liang quickly glanced at it, and then read it in the dressing room full of emotion.
By the time he finished reading the letter, the mood in the dressing room had become a little somber.
The players sat thoughtfully in their seats.
"Guys, everybody's heard! This is the wish of the children in the disaster area, they want us to be able to lift the Champions League trophy! They are watching us from heaven right now, and for their sake, you must win this game! (To be continued.) )
