In today's football competition, the referee will always become the focus of attention for every important match. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the 22nd, the Spanish newspaper "Marca" revealed that the country's famous whistle Mejuto Gonzalez will become the referee of the Champions League final!

Regarding the news, the president of the Spanish referees committee, Alminho, said in an interview: "This is important news for the Spanish refereeing community. It is a reward and affirmation for our work. ”

In this regard, the Spanish national television also reported the relevant news.

The Spaniard's belief that their whistle will officiate in the Champions League final is not unfounded speculation.

Collina is Italian, Frieske has retired, Bol has just officiated the UEFA Cup final, Michel, Hauge, Vasales and Saas, the four referees who have just officiated the semi-finals, Merck is the referee of the 2002-03 Champions Cup final, and Danish referee Nelson is the referee of last year's final.

In this way, almost all the famous whistles in European football have been discharged. In this way, it is no wonder that the Spanish media decided that their famous whistle Gonzalez would be the main whistle.

In fact, who will officiate the final should have been officially announced by UEFA before the game. As a result, UEFA was embarrassed for the Spanish side to reveal Gonzalez's name in advance, and it was not good to admit it or deny it. After all, the reason why they want to put the referee's announcement before the game is to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

As a result, the Italian media predicted that because of the Spanish media's approach, UEFA would most likely eventually change the referee.

This kind of temporary referee change is not new. In Athens 1994, AC Milan defeated Barcelona 4-0 to win the Champions Cup, and originally chose a Dutch referee, but a few days before the final, UEFA announced that "the referee had received serious death threats" and finally replaced England referee Don. In fact, it was later revealed that the Dutch referee was allegedly a good friend of Barcelona coach Cruyff at the time.

A similar scenario could also be seen this year, and if the Spanish referee officiates the final between Inter and Liverpool, Liverpool will have five of his compatriots, including coach Rafael Benitez and several key players, Marcos Alonso and Luis Garcia!

Inter Milan did not protest against the possibility of such a scenario. Vice-president Facchetti also said: "He's a good referee, why do we have to talk about how many Spaniards Liverpool have? ”

Obviously, Inter Milan do not have a bad impression of Gonzalez, because in the last two seasons, Gonzalez has always brought good luck to the Italian team: Juventus beat Bayern Munich 1-0, Inter Milan beat Arsenal 3-0, AC Milan beat Manchester United 1-0, Lazio beat Besiktas 1-0 were all his main whistles.

Most famously, at last year's European Championships, Gonzalez let Totti spit on Poulsen.

It is precisely because of this that no one in the Italian media has much objection to the referee.

In fact, in the end, the referee of the final announced by UEFA was none other than this Spaniard!

…… Although the Champions League final is still three days away, there has already been a massive migration of fans in Italy and England.

According to statistics, in the past two days, more than 40,000 fans from the two countries have flocked to the Turkish team Istanbul.

Due to the constant influx of fans into Istanbul, the city's restaurants are already full and prices have skyrocketed across the board. Some fans who did not have tickets stood for days on the most prosperous street in Istanbul, holding signs that read "I need tickets for the Liverpool-Inter match" with the slightest hope that someone would get their tickets refunded.

However, these fans are optimistic, believing that it is the people in Istanbul who are the most important things when the game is played.

Of course, for the arrival of England fans, the Turkish police are also the enemy.

After all, the hatred between Turkish and English fans is well known.

Turkey, a marginal country in Europe, has managed to host a final of Europe's top competition, and if there is disharmony outside the scene, the impact on Turkey will obviously not be good.

Therefore, the Turkish side also sent a large number of police forces to Istanbul, just to maintain the safety of fans inside and outside the stadium before and after the Champions League final!

………… As the final approaches, the predictions of football celebrities in various countries for this game also frequently appear in the newspapers of various countries.

Arsene Wenger, who has just led Arsenal to win the FA Cup this season, has publicly stated that he is optimistic about the Reds Liverpool!

His reason is simple, that is, Inter Milan is too tired!

"This season, Inter Milan have performed well on all fronts. The downside is that they have played more games than Liverpool, especially in the run-up to the Champions League final, when they have a tight schedule. As for the Liverpool team, although they were at the end of the league, they also tried their best to fight for the top four in the league. But after all, the Premier League ended more than ten days earlier than Serie A, and the Liverpool team has an absolute physical advantage! Arsene Wenger analyzed in an interview.

After Wenger's statement, his nemesis Ferguson also jumped out to oppose him.

"I support Inter! Their performances this season have been convincing and I am confident that they can achieve the treble! As for Liverpool, it is not difficult to see from their performances in the league this season that their quality has dropped significantly compared to last season. Or rather, they lost Edison, they lost the player who could win the championship for them! Ferguson's words were reminiscent of his feud with Liverpool.

If the Premier League is concerned, at least there are people who speak for Liverpool. In Serie A, several big club managers have been defeated by Inter Milan this season. The resentment in their hearts obviously won't make them say anything in support of Inter.

"Inter Milan are very strong. But Liverpool are by no means a team to be overlooked. In fact, no one thought they would win the title last season. Perhaps, this time they can break the cycle of no team defending the title since the Champions League was restructured! Ancelotti bluntly expressed his optimism about Liverpool.

"Liverpool are very strong defensively! Even, I think they are sometimes more like a Serie A team than we are. Their defense could surprise Inter Milan in the final! Capello, who was knocked out by Liverpool in the quarter-finals, also praised Liverpool's defensive prowess.

In addition to the coaches of the two teams, the host of the final, Turkey's famous coach Trim, who has coached Serie A AC Milan and Fiorentina, also gave an interview about the final: "When I was in charge of Serie A, Serie A was still the world's number one league. But in recent years, English football has grown rapidly. The Premier League has launched a powerful assault on Serie A. However, in Turkey, many fans are supporters of Italian football. I'm sure the Inter fans at the Otaturk Olympic Stadium will give a thumbs up to the enthusiasm of the Turkish fans! ”

In addition to these people, there are also football celebrities from all over the world, who also show their attitude.

The most depressing thing is that as a Brazilian, Pele was actually involved in the prediction of the Champions League final.

"Champions League winners? There is no doubt that it is Inter Milan! Their performances this season have been convincing and their games have been pleasing to watch. I'm bullish on Adriano, who is the epitome of Brazil's new generation of strikers and who will definitely be able to score in the final! Uncle Bailey said in an interview, the smile on his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum!

Damn it!

When the Inter Milan players saw Uncle Pele's prophecy in the newspaper, they all had an urge to scold!

Even Adriano, who is a Brazilian, has some opinions about Pele: He actually named me and said that I would score, you are trying to kill me, Uncle Pele!

After that, when the English media analyzed the advantages of the Liverpool team, there was one more article, that is, the Inter Milan team fell into the legendary "curse of the crow's mouth"! ――

The series of disturbances outside the stadium before the game were arguably not the main ones. The most important thing is the situation of both teams.

As for Inter Milan, the squad is full and there are no injuries or suspensions. The only problem, perhaps, is that they have a few fewer days off than Liverpool.

As for Liverpool, they can be said to have been plagued by injuries before.

Fortunately, as the final approaches, there is also frequent good news in the Red Army.

As the team's famous glass man, Colwill returned from injury before the game and has begun training with the team.

The previously injured French goalscorer Cisse returned before the final round of the league and scored a brace.

This also relieved Benitez, who could only play with one striker in Barosh because of the team's forward crisis.

However, this actually poses a difficult problem for him.

In this season's Champions League, after entering the knockout round, Benitez has always used a single striker tactic.

That's why people say he's conservative.

If last season, Liverpool relied on the strong attacking power of the Red Army's three musketeers to win the Champions League. This season, Benitez has relied on the team's excellent defense and counterattacks at critical moments!

Ahead of the final, Benitez also said he would not change his attitude of "don't lose or win" in the Champions League. This also means that he will continue to line up in the final with a four-five-one formation.

In this way, whether to send Cisse, who has just returned and showed great courage, on the single arrow, or continue to trust Baroshe, has become a problem for Benitez.

For the conservative tactics of the Liverpool team, Mourinho was also interviewed by the media.

Mourinho said in an interview: "I think there are only winning tactics and losing tactics on the football field, and there are no so-called conservative tactics or risky tactics! Rafael Benitez's leading Liverpool all the way to the final proved that his tactics were successful. Of course, the same tactics may be successful for other teams, but not necessarily for Inter Milan! ”

"What? You ask me what kind of tactics will be used in the final? Well, I tell you, I'll use the tactics of winning! ”

Mu Shuai's answer is still full of strong confidence, and even gives people a sense of arrogance.

But it was Mourinho who earned it with his excellent performances. Of course, if he loses this final, his so-called "winning tactics" will become the laughing stock of others!

Benitez did not refute Mourinho's words: "Yes, I will continue with the previous tactics. Of course, the final has his special surname. But I believe that if we defend well, we won't lose easily. ”

"Practice penalty? Of course, last season we won on penalties. Therefore, we will not neglect the practice of penalty kicks this time. Because in the finals, anything is possible! ”

In addition to the two managers, two of the most talked-about stars of the two teams were also interviewed.

Facing his old boss Liverpool in the Champions League final, Chen Xi has always been the focus of this game. However, some time ago, he has not been interviewed. It wasn't until the game was close that he expressed his feelings: "In such a special game, against Liverpool, it was obviously very difficult for me. After all, I had a great time with this team last season. To this day, I can't forget the group of teammates who used to fight side by side. ”

"I'm a professional footballer, though. I'm an Inter player now. Therefore, in the final, I will only have one thought, which is to help Inter Milan score goals, help Inter Milan win and win the championship! It's my duty! ”

"Maybe after the game, I'll call Stephen and they have a drink together. However, on the court, I have absolutely no reservations! But if I score in the final, I won't celebrate. Because, I don't want to hurt the Liverpool fans...... The lovely people who used to cheer and cheer for me! ”

Chen Xi's words can be said to have almost no smell of gunpowder before the war, and some are just strong human feelings!

Like Chen, Gerrard also showed his feelings: "It's hard to imagine that this time last year, Edison and I were still fighting side by side for the Liverpool title. This year, he has been the biggest obstacle in our way to winning the championship. Of course, I understand his departure. I never blamed him. So, in the national team, in private, we are still best friends. However, in this game, we only have one relationship, and that is the opponent! If he passes me with the ball, I won't hesitate to tackle him, even foul him! No way, that's football! ”

The two of them "base ~ full of affection" and sympathetic speeches also really added a bit of warmth to this much-anticipated game. However, no matter how warm you are, you can't change the fact that this is a life-and-death championship fight!
