On the morning of May 24th, the charter flight of the Inter Milan team arrived at Istanbul International Airport!

Although Istanbul sent a large number of police to maintain order at the airport, it still failed to prevent a large number of fans from coming to the airport to meet the airport. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is mainly the Inter Milan fans who arrived in Istanbul in advance, and there are also some local Turkish fans and Chinese fans.

Chen Xi and his teammates were obviously used to seeing this kind of scene, and everyone smiled and signaled to the fans, then walked out of the airport and boarded the bus.

Inter Milan is back in the Champions League final after 33 years!

Moratti was not stingy, so he secured a five-star hotel in Istanbul, Barceloeres Intopkapi, located west of Istanbul city center, less than 20 kilometers from the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, the final venue in western Istanbul!

Since 98% of Istanbul's inhabitants are Muslims, there are some Islamic-style buildings that can be found everywhere in the city of Istanbul.

However, at this time, Chen Xi and his teammates didn't have much to think about.

With only one day to go until the decisive battle, they need to get used to the climate and atmosphere of Turkey.

After a short break at the hotel and lunch, the Inter Milan team went to the Ataturk Olympic Stadium for a training session on acclimatization.

The Ataturk Olympic Stadium is the largest stadium in Turkey, with a full seating capacity of more than 75,000 fans, with the only regret being that there is a track and field track between the stadium and the spectator seats.

It's just that most of the Inter Milan teams have played in Turkey with clubs or national teams. Turkey is known as the country with the scariest atmosphere in European football.

I believe that tomorrow's final, the atmosphere will definitely not be able to find out.

Of course, the stadium was empty at this time, and everyone couldn't feel the atmosphere for a while!

…… Liverpool came to Istanbul almost immediately after Inter Milan.

As the reigning champions of the Champions League, their popularity is also very high. Of course, compared to Inter Milan, it is still slightly inferior.

Among them, the most vocal is naturally the team's number one star and captain Gerrard!

There is no doubt that he will be Liverpool's number one threat in this final.

However, before the game, there was news in the Italian media that Mourinho was ready to bring Gerrard to Inter Milan this summer and reunite with Chen Xi in Meazza.

Such a scandal obviously has the effect of disturbing the morale of the Liverpool military.

In fact, the scandal about Gerrard has not been broken since last summer.

The best centre-back in world football today has attracted the attention of a number of big clubs, including Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and AC Milan.

For Mourinho, if he can really bring Gerrard to Inter Milan, he will naturally welcome it with open arms.

Chen Xi also hopes to be able to reunite with Gerrard, but if Inter Milan wants him to be a lobbyist and persuade Gerrard to join, he may not do so. After all, he didn't want to fall out with his old club.

…… With the arrival of the two finalists in Istanbul, the city's heat seems to have reached a height.

The big game is about to start, and the fans on both sides are gathering strength and waiting for the game to begin.

In the past two days, the streets of Istanbul have been almost occupied by two colors, one is blue and black belonging to Inter Milan, and the other is red belonging to Liverpool.

Even local fans will choose to join a team based on their personal preferences.

Since 2000, two Leeds fans have died in the turmoil in Istanbul. As a result, there is a deep gap between Turkey and England, two of the hottest fans in European football.

In this way, Turkish fans are more willing to stand against the English team Liverpool and thus choose to support Inter Milan!

As a result, Istanbul became half of Inter Milan's home stadium.

…… In the afternoon, the coaches of both teams also attended the press conference for the Champions League final.

Benitez and Mourinho, the old rivals, did not fight at the press conference, but said something unnutritious as if they had been discussed.

This also makes the media very bored!

On such an occasion, shouldn't you try your best to break the morale of the other party?

How can you have such a good time?

Are they all young coaches, they don't have any anger at all, and they are hairy?

…… However, no amount of slander by the reporters could change the atmosphere of the press conference.

Obviously, Benitez and Jose Mourinho have both focused on tomorrow's game.

…… Finally, the eve of the decisive battle ended with the rising sun on the morning of the 25th.

The long-awaited Champions League final has finally arrived!

As the time for the tournament gets closer, the atmosphere in Istanbul gets hotter and hotter.

And, over time, this fiery atmosphere began to gradually concentrate on the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in the west of Istanbul.

By the time the afternoon came, it was already overcrowded.

At the beginning of the afternoon check-in, the crowd began to gradually move into the stadium.

More than 70,000 people entered the venue from the afternoon to the evening.

At this time, there were still about three hours before the game.

In the middle of the court, the staff is setting up the court.

As the highest honor of European football clubs, the specifications of the Champions League final are naturally very high.

Therefore, they are also meticulous in the layout of the court.

At this time, the fans on both sides had no intention of observing the busy staff on the field, because for them, the war had already begun the moment they entered the stadium.

The two sides are like singing activities during the military training of students, you sing and I appear.

For two historic teams like Inter Milan and Liverpool, their fans have countless fan songs in addition to the team anthem. So they don't need to repeat the team song again and again, but "the music continues, the good songs continue"!

…… As night fell, it was also known that the time for the game was getting closer.

It was also at this time that the bus from Inter Milan sailed from the hotel to the Ataturk Olympic Stadium.

The car was quieter at this time, and although the Inter Milan team was full of stars, not many of them had experienced the Champions League final.

People are always a little nervous when facing the "first time". Therefore, even if most of the players in the Inter Milan team are experienced players, at this time, it must be false to say that they are not nervous at all!

Sitting next to Chen Xi today is Vieri, the famous prodigal son who has been in and out of many clubs. Among them, when he was at Lazio and Juventus, he won the European Cup Winners' Cup and won the UEFA Super Cup. But he didn't win the European Champions Cup, which symbolizes the club's highest honor!

It can be said that this is a regret in his career.

Today, he naturally hopes to make up for this regret.

"Edison, how does it feel to hold the big-eared cup?" Vieri asked suddenly, and after a moment's thought, he added, "I mean, is it any different from lifting other trophies?" ”

Although Vieri has always regarded himself as a big brother, in terms of honor, Chen Xi, a young man, can be said to be his senior.

Chen Xi obviously didn't expect Vieri to ask such a ...... Lovely question.

"Big eared cups? It's big, it's cool! Chen Xi replied succinctly. After speaking, he showed a hint of silver~ evil smile.

"you, I'm serious!" Vieri obviously knew that Chen Xi was joking, so he said angrily.

"What's the hurry? Wait another three hours, won't you be able to pick up the big-eared cup with your own hands? Chen Xi was also serious at this time, but when he said this, he seemed full of confidence.

Chen Xi's confidence also infected Vieri.

Yes, there are less than three hours left, and if you win this game, you can try the taste of winning the cup with your own hands?

How big is it? How cool is it?

Vieri is like a man in a hurry, and he can't wait to touch ...... Uh, the big-eared cup!

After talking to Vieri, Chen Xi also fell into a burst of memories.

A year ago, around this time, in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, Chen Xi, like Vieri, was looking forward to his first European Champions Cup.

That time, Chen Xi got his wish, when the team was three goals behind and he himself dislocated his shoulder, they still stubbornly tied the score and won the penalty shootout!

This time, his teammates, who were fighting alongside him at the time, became opponents on the field. Chen Xi can be said to have a different feeling.

Thinking of last year's final, Chen Xi couldn't help but set his eyes on Mourinho and Carvalho in front of him.

The two were also participants in the final last season, but they were the tragic runners-up!

Coupled with last season's UEFA Cup final, Chen Xi has already taken away the two European championships that originally belonged to Mourinho and Porto.

Now, he and Carvalho are teammates, and Mourinho is his coach!

Maybe God arranged for me to make amends for them, right?

Thinking of this, Chen Xi seems to have another reason to win today's final!

In fact, for Chen Xi, there is no need for reasons to win and win the championship!

But today's opponent is Liverpool, the team he fought for. Therefore, he can only find some reasons for himself, some ...... In the race without reservation, give your best to give the reason!
