The sky was drizzling, and Ferguson subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky, and then he felt a headache, because the team did not prepare special non-slip spikes for rainy days, and if the drizzle turned into light or moderate rain, it would be a big problem......

But soon, he was relieved, the same prelude to preparation, so Chelsea should not be prepared either!

But...... When Ferguson turned his head to look at the Chelsea dugout, he was rather speechless.

What appeared in his eyes was a row of spike teams that were ready, that is, non-slip spikes, and they were arranged in an orderly manner, which ...... It's definitely a good move towards Chelsea.

Of course, Ferguson definitely didn't allow the team to lose at the starting line, so he hooked his finger at his assistant Queiroz and instructed: "Let Kyle go to the physical store outside the stadium and buy some spikes according to the player's shoe size, and come back, as fast as possible!" ”

Queiroz glanced at the prepared Chelsea coaching area and nodded, before turning to tell Kyle Dost, the team's logistician, to procure spike boots on the sidelines.

Although the rain was light, the players on the field began to be cautious, for fear that one of them would slip and fall to the ground if they were not careful.

With a further two minutes of caution on both sides, the rain was a bit of a light rain, which was definitely not good news for United.

Immediately, the on-site director took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to give the camera to the Chelsea bench, which immediately caused several discussions in the studio.

"Haha, Chelsea are so well prepared!! When we thought that the two sides in the final would fall to the ground frequently in the rain battle, but ...... This scene told us that this situation will only happen to Manchester United!! ”

Looking at this shot, BBC commentator Lineker laughed.

"I have to say that Chelsea thought it out before the game, but I remember that the weather in Moscow today will be cloudless, there will be no rain at all, so it is destined that both teams will ignore this detail, but what I didn't expect is that Chelsea actually prepared spikes for rainy days, maybe ...... This Champions League winner will be in the details! ”

Huang Jianxiang is also praising Chelsea's logistics for doing a good job.

Only the local commentator in Manchester pouted and said, "This is a blind cat that has touched a dead mouse, and the weather forecast on a sunny day will prepare spikes for rainy days, what the hell!" ”

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, who was sitting in the VIP seat at the moment, smiled and kissed his girlfriend Dasha Zhukova, obviously very satisfied with the team's logistics, just now he was worried that the team would slip on a rainy day, now well, so ...... Again, the game will be different.

Perhaps, the Chelsea they love, will really win the Champions League this season!

Isn't the crazy investment in the past few years just for this silver Champions League trophy?

Thinking of this, Abramovich leaned forward and looked at the Champions League trophy placed on the rostrum - the St. Bride Cup!

※※※

The club staff had already prepared spikes, and Iroh nodded with satisfaction, while also rejoicing in his excellent memory, of course, he should be more grateful to the great god Lin Hai, if he hadn't written that novel in the first place, then ...... I will never remember this detail myself.

However, it is not suitable to change to spikes at this time.

Firstly, the turf is not yet slippery enough to be used with spikes, and secondly, the referee will not allow them to change their boots at this time, unless they ...... One by one, they ran to the sidelines to change, but ...... This will likely lead to a local situation of playing more with less, which is extremely unfavorable to the team! Only when the regular time is completed will the group be replaced.

Why wait until the end of regular time to change your shoes?

Why not end the battle in ninety minutes?

Iroh slapped his forehead violently, and really stepped into the misunderstanding again!

In the same vein, Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson doesn't expect the logistics director to buy the spikes back, and it would be best if he could settle the battle in 90 minutes! Therefore...... He took advantage of a time when left wing-back Patrice Evra was close to the touchline to pull him and explain a few words, asking the players to step up their attack in the final period of time and score as many goals as possible, otherwise it would be dangerous if the rain became heavier......

Although the rain was still in the pre-light phase, the Chelsea players were already disturbed.

In the 85th minute, Iello feigned a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, and all the United defenders focused on him, only to fake a real pass and a change in his right ankle to pass the ball to the almost unmarked Frank Lampard, who subconsciously picked up a right-footed shot from 10 yards out.

But at this time, an accident occurred, the left foot footed at the critical time did not step on the ground, slid forward, the right foot can only instinctively continue to kick, the effect can be imagined? The football was not kicked, but it was kicked to the foot of Brown, who stepped forward to make up for the defense, and the referee on duty, Michelle, blew a foul.

Then the possession of the ball changed hands, the veteran Scholes controlled the ball in the backfield, and saw that no one came to press, so he could calmly look up to observe the position and running of his teammates, but he did not find a suitable passing point, so he passed the ball back to central defender Rio Ferdinand, and then ran forward for a few meters, directing his teammates in the midfield to run.

After the explanation, he retreated to the halfway line and motioned for Vidic to pass the ball, who did not hesitate to give the ball to Scholes.

Up front, Hargreaves, Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney all dropped back a bit, looking ready to receive Scholes' pass.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo on the left flank was not seen slanting the right flank of Chelsea's defence, which is the gap between Essien and John Terry.

"Watch out for the right rib defense!!" The attention of defenders in the back line and in front of the back line was focused on the ball carrier and the Manchester United players in the area at the edge of the box, but goalkeeper Petr Cech could see Cristiano Ronaldo cutting in diagonally at high speed, so he reminded loudly.

Scholes, meanwhile, had dribbled the ball halfway around Chelsea before he burst into a long ball.

Essien was startled by a flash of red lightning in front of him, and then saw the ball flying in mid-air, subconsciously stopped at his feet, and raised his right arm to warn the linesman that the United player was offside.

But he was surprised to find that the linesman did not hold the side flag high, but ...... Continue to run with Cristiano Ronaldo moving forward.

Even if he thinks about it on his toes, he knows that this is - not offside!

John Terry has a lot of experience in the game, and even when he felt Cristiano Ronaldo was suspected of offside, he kept stepping back and ready to clear the ball.

It's just that it's hard to judge where the ball will land, so I can only turn around and focus on Cristiano Ronaldo, who is about to get the ball, and deal with it when the time comes.

※※※

Cristiano Ronaldo's abrupt diagonal insertion into the right side of Chelsea's defence was not a whim, but one of the pre-match backup tactics, which were previously kept going up and down in order to confuse Chelsea's defenders, so that they formed a fixed mindset in a short period of time, and when the time came to suddenly change the way they attacked, it was an opportunity for the team!

However, Ferguson's gesture from the sidelines earlier was known...... The opportunity to wait is ready to be used!

Sure enough, as he accelerated down the right flank of the Chelsea defence from the flank, Scholes' long ball came in and the quality of the pass was better than Cristiano Ronaldo had imagined.

Fast and flat!

It's great for players who come in late to handle the ball, while also making it harder for defenders to clear.

Because the way forward of football is the same as Cristiano Ronaldo, that is, it is out of place with the defender, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who can only hope to get the ball, makes a mistake in stopping the ball if he wants to clear the ball, so as to compete for the second landing point.

But the question is, will Cristiano Ronaldo make a mistake?

He has already scored two goals in this game, and he is in hot form!

From 15 yards from goal, he stopped the ball with his chest and went straight to his own path, then picked up his right foot and prepared to shoot!

"- Cristiano Ronaldo!!" The local commentator in Manchester shouted excitedly.

Terry, who had been waiting for his chance behind Cristiano Ronaldo's diagonal right, knew he couldn't afford to wait any longer, otherwise the goal would be in danger.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was already ready to shoot with a bow, sensed that Terry was about to break the ball behind him, so he quickly lowered his right foot and toe to the left with the falling football.

When Terry was about to get to football, he found out...... Cristiano Ronaldo didn't wait for the ball to fall to finish his shot, but ...... Take advantage of the fast cadence at your feet and pick the ball to the left side of your body.

This ...... Trouble!

Terry didn't have time to retract his foot, and kicked his left foot directly on the calf of Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just finished picking up the football, only to let out a scream and fall on the turf with his right calf.

Beep――

Immediately, the referee Michelle's whistle blew.

Terry quickly turned around and raised his hand at the referee to signal that he had not committed a foul.

"Mr. Referee, foul!"

"Foul!!"

"Penalty + red card!!"

"Bastard, what are you talking nonsense? It's obviously a fake fall! "Ballack is closest to Rooney, and regardless of whether Terry has fouled or not, he defended it directly.

The other Chelsea players saw the referee's movements and eyes and realised what he was going to do, so they picked up speed and stopped in front of the referee to try to change his next move.

Michelle brushed aside the Chelsea player in front of him, then walked up to John Terry, pulled a red card out of his trouser pocket and showed it.

Then it pointed twelve yards.

This is...... Penalty and red card!
