As soon as the second day dawned, the Lazio players turned their heads to look out the window.

As a result, the sun was shining outside.

Some of the Lazio players laughed.

I think their boss is really neurotic...... Yesterday I told them what to do if it rains during the game...... It caused them to sleep at night and dream of playing in the rain.

As a result, I saw the sun shining outside the window for a week, blue and white clouds, and a blue sky.

Could it be that the boss is back in the Champions League final for many years, and he is a little nervous?

Quite a few began to get up and wash up, and then went downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast.

When they walked into the cafeteria, they found that Chang Sheng was already there, and he was sitting at the table near the door, and every player who entered the door could see them, and he could see them.

But he doesn't say hello to the players. Only when these players take the initiative to greet him, he will nod his head and indicate that he understands.

Obviously, he was the first to get up in the team.

While eating, Chang Sheng kept looking out the window.

Several of the coaches who sat at the table with him were surprised. Finally Rudy. Gonzalez couldn't stand it anymore and asked him, "What are you looking at, Chang?" ”

"I'll see when it rains." Chang Sheng said and turned his head to look out the window.

Rudy. Gonzalez rolled his eyes along with the other coaches.

"Speaking of which, it's strange to me, why do you care so much about whether it rains or not?" Rudy. Gonzalez asked after rolling his eyes......

"I don't know, maybe the rain will bring us some signs......" Chang Sheng coped absent-mindedly.

He had a gut feeling in his heart, this instinct, does this mean that it will rain during the game today?

"Are you the mysterious wisdom of the East? And if the rain is not good for us? ”

"It's not good for any team that sticks to a passing tactic on the ground." Chang Sheng withdrew his gaze.

He wanted to take this opportunity to test how much he had changed about the world, and then see if his memories could still work.

It's been 10 years since he came into the world, and he's changed more and more of it, for example, Liverpool didn't win the Champions League without Benitez, so Liverpool didn't win the Champions League in 2005, when Jose Mourinho's Chelsea won the title. And the master tactician Benitez is still working on his own future in Getafe.

For example, because of himself, Inter Milan still has not won a league title.

For example, in this year's Champions League final, the two teams that entered the final were not Manchester United and Chelsea, but Manchester United and Lazio.

He's changed a lot, but he always likes to change a little less and a little slower.

If it didn't rain in overtime, but in the first place, it rained, it meant that something more had been changed before he knew it.

And these things may not seem to do him any harm now, and may even help him...... But who knows what will happen next?

If it waits until extra time and then it rains, then everything is normal.

It's like the spinning top on the table has just turned, or it hasn't turned at all.

The lack of rain became a sign of some kind of symbolism.

※※※ As a result, we waited until the players were about to board the bus, and the weather was very sunny. The forecast on the radio is also that there will be no precipitation over Moscow this day.

It looks the same as Chang Sheng remembers.

It stands to reason that he should breathe a sigh of relief, but in fact, Chang Sheng's ** feeling is becoming more and more obvious, he feels that every time he takes a breath, it seems that what he inhales is not air, but water.

The club's equipment manager, who is responsible for the equipment of the players, and the equipment of the players should be set off in advance.

Chang Sheng stopped him and asked him what he had brought with him.

"Every time you put in two jerseys, they're short-sleeved. Shin guards, sneakers......"

Chang Sheng interrupted him: "What kind of nails are the sneakers?" ”

"SG's, when I got used to the field yesterday, I hit the turf very soft, and even a little unreliable...... So we decided to go with SG's. The equipment administrator replied.

Football spikes are the most important part of football boots, and there are many categories here. It's not just a simple long nail and a short nail.

Most of the spikes used in professional competitions are SG and FG.

SG is an abbreviation for soft_groud, which translates to soft grass. Compromise spikes are suitable for grass with soft or very soft surfaces, such as undead grass, especially after rain. The spikes of such shoes are usually metal spikes that can be zìyóu loaded and unloaded, somewhat similar to the spikes worn by track and field athletes. Sometimes we see a football game where the pitch gets very scary because of the rain, and the players usually change to longer spikes. Because these sneakers can be loaded and unloaded with various specifications of spikes, they can adapt to various conditions. However, because metal spikes are relatively heavy, if speed and agility are to be emphasized, many people will choose to use FG sneakers.

The so-called FG, which is similar to SG, is the abbreviation of firm_groud, which translates to hard grass, suitable for relatively hard grass, in general professional games, according to the different softness of the field, players will only choose the appropriate wedge in SG and FG. These shoes are the most popular choice for playing on the grass.

There are also many different versions of the same sneaker.

Take Nike's Assassin 8 as an example. The SG version of the Assassin 8 sole is a prototype metal spike that can be removed, while the FG version has a long, flat plastic nail that cannot be detached.

In this game, because the players reacted to the soft turf after acclimatizing to the field, the equipment manager chose SG shoes with detachable spikes.

The reason for this is that it was originally a turf pitch. However, UEFA has stipulated that all Champions League finals must be played on turf. That's why the Turf has been cultivated since nine months ago for the tournament.

However, after the turf was laid in the last period, it was found that the turf was uneven, and such turf was obviously unusable.

So the turf that had been cultivated for nine months was shoveled off.

Then they urgently imported another batch of turf from Slovakia. But this kind of turf is not enough to satisfy them, but unfortunately, they have no time to look for other turf.

The turf that feels fluffy now is imported from Slovakia.

Chang Sheng thought of that hunch again, so he asked the equipment administrator, "Long nail or short spike?" ”

"Short spikes." The equipment administrator replied.

"Bring another set of spikes." Chang Sheng said.

"Spikes?" The equipment administrator was a little surprised.

Spikes are only useful on very, very soft and muddy surfaces, and too long spikes can affect power and grip, and there is a risk of ankle injury, which is not particularly good for ankle protection.

From the professional point of view of his equipment manager, the turf condition of the Lurì Nikki Stadium in this game is to use the normal length of SG spikes, and there is no need to change the spikes.

"Well, I have a hunch that it might rain tonight." Chang Sheng had to explain to the equipment administrator.

The caretaker turned his head to look out of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the red sunset facing the window.

Then he turned his head and nodded to Chang Sheng: "Okay." ”

Although he didn't understand why Chang Sheng did this, the reason for the rain didn't make sense at all.

But anyway, bringing an extra set of spikes doesn't take up space and weight, so bring it.

※※※ The equipment manager and his equipment set off in advance, and after about 40 minutes, the players were about to board the bus.

The media gathered outside the hotel lobby, and there were many enthusiastic Lazio fans blocking the door.

Seeing the Lazio players rushing out of the hotel lobby, the Lazio fans became excited, chanting the names of every Lazio player who appeared.

Reporters leaned in and pressed the shutter of their cameras.

The camera reporter carried the camera and stood on a relatively high place, showing this scene in a panoramic way.

There are reporters on the scene doing the connection.

"This is the first time in Lazio's history that they have reached the Champions League final, and you can see it from the number of Lazio fans...... The Lazio fans are very welcoming! ”

In the footage, it is densely packed with fans wearing blue Sè Lazio jerseys.

What made the reporters and fans at the scene wonder why the first reaction of every Lazio player after coming out was not to turn his head to look at the cheering group and reporters, but to look up?

※※※Every Lazio player will look up before coming out to board the bus.

There was no scorching, but it didn't rain either, and there was a bright moon in the night sky, and the stars were dotted, and although the stars were not obvious, the moon could still be seen very clearly.

Even at night, it's still sunny...... Summer nights in Moscow always come late, but despite this, it should be considered evening now.

It's 8:30 p.m. local time in Moscow.

The Champions League final will kick off at 10.45pm local time, to take care of the television broadcast time of a huge part of the European country.

At 10:45 p.m. Moscow time, it was the prime time in Western Europe.

The players who saw Mingyue lowered their heads and muttered in their hearts: "What does this look like it's going to rain?" The boss is really too nervous, right? ”

Chang Sheng watched the movements of these players from behind, and heaved in his heart: "These stinky boys!" ”

Obviously, people don't believe his claim that this match could be a water fight.

In fact, Chang Sheng can't say whether he should hope that it will not rain or that it will rain.

If it rains, it means that the whole thing is different from what you remember. So how many things will be different from what he predicted?

If it doesn't rain, won't the skills you prepared in advance be in vain?

The four competition skills, he was all prepared according to the premise of fighting in the rain.

If it doesn't rain, although all of your competition skills are useless, at least the effect will be discounted.

First of all, if it doesn't rain, you won't be able to walk in the air, and the competition skills for the top will be useless.

Secondly, there will not be too much far, because it is more dependent on short passes to penetrate and hit Manchester United's penalty area.

Thirdly, the frequency of the second drop point will not be as high as in the rain war.

Perhaps only the physical confrontation competition skills will not be affected. Because whether it rains or not, you need to fight physically.

When Chang Sheng finally walked out and was ready to board the car, he enjoyed the loudest cheers. Lazio fans know very well who is the number one contributor to Lazio's current situation.

They gave all the cheers to the number one hero.

But what is still strange to everyone and reporters is that even after Chang Sheng came out, his first reaction was to look up...... What's going on here?

Is there a UFO on the baby?

As a result, some fans and reporters also began to look up...... But without exception, all they could see was the moon and the stars, and they couldn't find even a dark cloud in the Qianjing sky......
