Although, four days before the Champions League final, there is still one round of league games in Serie A. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But media coverage of the Champions League final began almost as soon as the two legs of the Champions League semi-finals ended.

The media listed several highlights of this Champions League final early.

First of all, this Champions League final is a direct dialogue between two of the hottest young coaches in world football today.

Rafael Benitez was last season's Champions League winner, and this is his second season in contact with the team to reach the Champions League final.

As for Mourinho, with the UEFA Cup two seasons ago, he has led the team to the European finals for three consecutive seasons!

Both young coaches were also named for last season's UEFA Manager of the Year award, but they lost to Sven Eriksen, who led the Three Lions to their first European Championships.

These two young coaches had a direct conversation in the Champions League final last season. At that time, it was Benitez who had the last laugh.

It's just that a season later, Mourinho has become the manager of a top European giant like Inter Milan. However, Benitez's Liverpool team was forced to sell the team's two absolute main players, Chen Xi and Owen, due to debt problems. Among them, Chen Xi was the number one contributor to Liverpool's victory over Mourinho's Porto in the final last season!

Under the trade-off, Mourinho is naturally more optimistic.

Secondly, the dialogue between Liverpool and Inter Milan is also seen as a dialogue between two dynastic teams.

There is no shortage of brilliant records in the history of both teams, and the Liverpool team actually had more than four European Champions Cups in the late 70s and early 80s of the last century!

Inter Milan also had a history of winning the Champions League twice in a row in the sixties.

In the past two seasons, these two teams have created a season of their own!

Last season, Liverpool won the first four Grand Slam titles in the Premier League, and they are unbeaten all season!

This season, Inter Milan is even more crazy. With only four games left of the season, Inter Milan have won all of their games so far. The hope of achieving the Triple Crown is also very high!

Of course, when it comes to these two crazy seasons, people will unconsciously think of the same person, that is, Chen Xi, who has played for these two teams!

Last season, in Liverpool, Chen Xi broke a number of Premier League and Liverpool team history records.

When he arrived in Serie A, he was almost seamless. He has scored in all of his appearances this season.

Such a crazy young superstar has already made the whole European football world tremble.

Even, there is a saying in European football today: "If you win Edison, you win the championship!" It shows their affirmation of Chen Xi's role!

In addition to these origins, this Champions League final is also seen as a revenge game for Mourinho.

In last season's Champions League final, his side were held back by Liverpool after leading 3-0 and eventually lost on penalties.

The game was also seen by Mourinho as the most humiliating defeat of his coaching career.

It's just that when it comes to revenge. The outside world generally believes that Mourinho's real "enemy" is in his team, that is, Chen Xi.

After all, for two consecutive seasons, his team lost to Chen Xi's team in the finals of European competitions.

It is not so much that he has a grudge against Tottenham and Liverpool, but rather a grudge against Chen Xi!

In the end, the biggest attraction is naturally Chen Xi.

After three consecutive seasons of European finals with three different teams, he has won two times in a row, and this time he hopes to complete the third consecutive European championship and complete the "defending" of the Champions League in his own capacity!

Since the restructuring of the Champions League, no club has ever been able to defend its title in the Champions League, but Chen Xi himself hopes to complete this miracle!

Of course, compared to this, Chen Xi's face of his old club Liverpool in the final is the most concerned.

Last season, Chen Xi led Liverpool to regain the league championship after 14 years, and helped the team win the fifth Champions League title, and is worthy of the name of the new king of the Red Army!

However, due to Liverpool's debt problems, he was sold to Inter Milan for a record-breaking price, starting a new journey!

After transferring to Inter Milan for a season, he led Inter Milan to complete the meeting with his old club in the final, which is even more tortuous than the plot of the movie!

On this issue, the English media also conducted some random interviews with some Liverpool fans.

In this final, the attitude towards Chen Xi can basically be divided into the following types.

The first is contradictory, they express their understanding of Chen Xi's departure last summer. And, after that, he still cared about Chen Xi's performance. Therefore, after Chen Xi's team and Liverpool met in the final, it caused some trouble for this group of fans.

They are loyal Liverpool fans, but at the same time they are loyal "Xi Fan"!

In the game, there is no doubt that they cheered for the Liverpool team, but if Chen Xi performed well in the game, and even broke through Liverpool's goal, should they applaud Chen Xi?

This kind of contradictory fans accounted for most of the fans interviewed, reaching 62%, which shows Chen Xi's high popularity among Liverpool fans.

The second type is calm. They don't blame Chen Xi for leaving last season. It's just that, in their opinion, since Chen Xi has left Liverpool, he is no longer the king of the Red Army. Therefore, except for the national team competition, they will no longer care about Chen Xi's game.

In this Champions League final, they may not be able to boo Chen Xi like they usually booed their opponents, but they will never be happy because of Chen Xi's goal.

The proportion of fans who are calm is not small, reaching 26 percent.

The third type is extreme.

In their eyes, Chen Xi's departure is a betrayal of Liverpool.

From the moment Chen Xi left Liverpool, he became a traitor to Anfield. Then, not only will they no longer cheer for Chen Xi as before, but they will treat Chen Xi with boos.

Even in the national team competition, it is impossible for them to look at Chen Xi with a normal heart.

There are relatively few fans of this kind of extremism, but it is not impossible. It accounts for 7 percent of the fans surveyed.

In addition, five percent of fans said that they couldn't clearly explain their feelings for Chen Xi.

It is expected that in the Champions League final, Chen Xi will be the Inter Milan player who has received the least boos from Liverpool fans!

…… After analyzing the highlights of this Champions League final.

The media will inevitably make a comprehensive comparison of the two teams.

The first to be compared is the young marshal Benitez of both sides!

In the history of the two sides, Rafael Benitez has the advantage thanks to his victory in last season's Champions League final.

However, judging from the results of leading the team, Mourinho is more favored.

Regarding the comparison between the two, the media also generally believes that Portugal coach Jose Mourinho is slightly superior.

In the comparison of various lines, the Inter Milan team also has the advantage.

Needless to say, the "three fierce men" on the front line of the Inter Milan team plus the substitutes of the three powerful factions have made the Inter Milan team the team with the most goals in European football this season!

Liverpool, although they also have Baroshe, the bronze boot of last year's European Championship, and France's new goalscorer Cisse. But after the absence of Chen Xi and Owen, they obviously can't compare with the superstar strikers of the Inter Milan team!

Liverpool's only advantage may be their midfield.

Although Chen Xi's departure did affect Liverpool's strength, Benitez used his ability to make Liverpool's midfield more balanced.

Xavi Alonso is still in excellent form, and while he is doing his defensive duty, his precise long balls are also the strength of the team to launch counter-attacks.

Needless to say, Gerrard has always been the best central midfielder on the planet!

Colwill, who joined this season, and Luis Garcia, who arrived last season, will be able to provide effective support for the team's attack on both flanks.

Compared with Liverpool's midfielders with different styles, Inter Milan's midfielders have a greater role in interception. Stankovic also has a good contribution on the offensive end, but he is still lacking compared to Gerrard.

The other two defensive midfielders, Essien and Cambiaso, although they are conscientious defensively, are lacking the organizational skills of Xavi Alonso, or that sentence, a little less spiritual!

At the back, the Inter Milan squad is absolutely world-class, and the four main players are all key players of the world-class national team.

Relatively speaking, the four defenders of the Liverpool team are also internationals of various countries, but except for Carragher, who is in the England national team, the other three are all internationals of the second-rate or even third-rate national teams in Europe. And Carragher is just a fringe international.

However, Liverpool's defence is the result of their tacit understanding over the years.

With the exception of Finnan, who joined last season, the other three have been with Liverpool for several seasons.

Half of Inter Milan's four centre-backs have only moved this season.

Although Mourinho has his own unique ability in defensive adjustment, it is not so easy to solve in terms of tacit understanding.

It can be said that in terms of strength, Inter Milan is absolutely dominant.

But Liverpool also have their strengths, and as the defending champions, they are no strangers to the Champions League final. On the other hand, Inter Milan, who have been away from the UEFA Champions League for 33 years, may not be so familiar with the final.

Of course, the experience of Champions League finals in recent seasons like Chen Xi, Zambrotta, Carvalho and coach Jose Mourinho can also bring great help to the team!
