Chapter 368: The Final Begins
Guaranteed promotion, such a word, for Barcelona people, as dazzling as it is. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, in the face of the condemnation of many media, they have no argument. Although Barcelona were treated unfairly in the game, with Abidal sent off, Chelsea were treated more unfairly throughout the game. In contrast, they have received benefits, and since they have received benefits, what are they arguing about? Make a fortune with a muffled voice.
While the Chelsea players were obsessed with the game, and the newspapers and magazines often used the words "guaranteed promotion", as the season came to an end, the condemnation became much quieter.
However, as the Champions League final match day is getting closer and closer, the matter of Barcelona being escorted to the promotion has been mentioned by the media again.
is always said to be guaranteed to advance, as the head coach of Barcelona, Guardiola is of course unhappy in his heart, isn't this just denying the results of their efforts? At the pre-match press conference, when asked by reporters again about the promotion of the guarantee, Guardiola was furious.
"The referee did have some inexplicable penalties in the game, but the referee's will is not something we can change! I don't want to talk about anything that doesn't have to do with the game right now! ”
'Would you have had the chance to sit here and talk about the Champions League final without that terrible game?'
As soon as he heard the reporter's words, Guardiola was furious.
"I didn't, you did!"
After saying that, Guardiola stood up and left the scene of the press conference directly, leaving an embarrassed reporter.
Since the promotion has been mentioned again, the Manchester United team naturally has no way to avoid the reporter's questioning.
In an interview, Yu Liang said: "Barcelona or Chelsea, they are our opponents on the stage of the final, and the result is the same, we were defeated!" ”
Rooney said: "I think I can only say a lot of regret to Chelsea, I think in the future we still have a chance to play in the Champions League final, and the most important thing at the moment is to beat Barcelona and win the title! We beat them last season and this season is no different! ”
Cristiano Ronaldo said: "I can't comment on that game, the most important thing for me now is the final in front of me and I will help the team defend their title! ”
After Manchester United's three generals expressed their views on the upcoming final, Manchester United's godfather Alex Ferguson also expressed his opinion.
'It was a bad game, it was destined to be a stain on the history of the Champions League, you can't erase it, you can't erase it, it's going to stay with the Champions League...... Barcelona are a strong opponent and under Pep Guardiola they have improved their fighting power and tomorrow is a tough game and we will fight for the title...... I don't think there will be such a low-level mistake in the final, and we will give you a good matchup. ”
Although Ferguson did not explicitly say that Barcelona will be promoted, the last sentence still warns UEFA that if you want to do something about it to prevent them from defending their title, then I'm sorry, the bombardment will definitely not run.
The match kicked off at 8:45 p.m. on May 27 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, with more than 60,000 fans pouring into the stadium, including King Juan Carlos of Spain, Prime Minister Zapatero, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy, Prince William of Great Britain and UEFA President Michel Platini.
Before the official start of the competition, there was a short but solemn performance in the arena, with the theme song of the gladiator chanted by the Italian tenor, and the gold-clad model entered with big-eared cups. The short but grand performance came to an end after the Champions League theme song.
When the Champions League theme song sounded, the players from both sides followed the referee team into the stadium, bringing out the atmosphere in the stadium to the extreme......
"The players from both sides are in, let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides!"
The Champions League final attracted worldwide attention, attracting nearly 200 countries and regions to broadcast this game live.
In China, not only CCTV 5 broadcasts live, but also large sports portals such as Global Sports broadcast such an event online, and domestic fans can watch the final in different ways and in different regions.
When the players from both sides entered, different commentators on major domestic live broadcast platforms said such things in unison.
Then they started to introduce the starting line-ups of both sides.
Ferguson is still in the 442 formation, in the goalkeeper position of the veteran Van der Sar to start, nearly 40 years old and strong, outstanding performance in the season, successfully entered the Premier League best team. He recently signed a contract extension with Manchester United, which he said would be the last of his career and he would retire after completing it! In front of Van der Sar, he is still the best central defender combination in the Premier League, Ferdinand and Vidic, Ferdinand had previous calf discomfort, and it seems that he is recovering quite well. Youngster Evans is on the bench. Right wing-back O'Shea was given the start, while Brazilian teenager Rafael was on the bench and France international Patrice Evra was still at left wing-back. In midfield, veteran Ryan Giggs won the start and was flanked by South Korea's Park Ji-sung in what was the first time the South Korean had appeared on stage in a Champions League final. Michael Carrick and Chinese player Yu Liang are partnered in the middle, and they will face a huge test today, and whether Manchester United can beat Barcelona will depend on whether the two of them can freeze Barcelona's midfield. In Manchester United's forward line, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney were paired today, with Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez both on the bench. Our player Dong Wang is reimbursed for the season and is still recovering from an injury, but he appeared in the stands, and we chatted with him before the game, and he hopes that the team can complete the defense of the title! ”
After introducing the starting line-up of Manchester United, the commentator immediately introduced the line-up of Barcelona.
Although Manchester United, with Yu Liang and King Dong, is the home team of many Chinese fans, Barcelona also has a large number of fans in China.
"Barcelona is still in a 433 formation, goalkeeper Valdés, due to the suspension of Alves and Abidal, Guardiola put Puyol in the right wing-back position, left wing-back Guardiola used the veteran Silvinho, his left side may be the main attack direction of Manchester United. At centre-back, Pique, who used to play for Manchester United, partnered with Yaya Toure, and it is unknown whether Pique can block the combined impact of Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney. Well, in midfield, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Butzques partnered. Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o make up the Barca attacking trident. Barcelona has scored more than 130 goals in all competitions this season, Messi has scored more than 30 goals in all competitions this season, and Messi has also led the way with eight goals in the Champions League. And Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the top scorer last season, only scored 4 goals this season and withdrew from the top scorer competition early. Rooney's 5 goals are also difficult to shake Messi's top position, so Messi can basically be sure that the top scorer will be in the bag. ”
Just after the commentator introduced the starting lineups of the two sides, the referee from Switzerland in the Olympic Stadium in Rome Busaka blew the whistle for the start of the game! (To be continued.) )
