After a warm evening at home with his family, the next day the players and coaches showed up at the Furmelo training base full of energy.

Chang Sheng is very happy with the mental state of the players.

That's what he wants.

After all the players have assembled, Chang Sheng announces the punishment. The whole team rushed to Rome's Leonardo da Vinci International Airport by bus.

There, take a direct flight from Rome to London for the Champions League final.

Barcelona had already arrived in London ahead of schedule, where they were preparing for the game at Arsenal's training base.

Lazio doesn't have such a good reputation in London.

It can even be said that they were full of enemies in London.

When Lazio arrived at London Heathrow, they were greeted by more than 200 Lazio fans and more than 100 journalists.

As soon as Lazio came out, they heard the cheers of the fans.

And the flash of the camera's hand in the reporter's hand also lit up.

The exit hall of the airport flashed into daylight.

Lazio's players are used to such scenes.

They greeted the fans with a smile on their faces, but they didn't stop and walked straight to the bus parked outside.

That is, Chang Sheng's representative team stopped to be interviewed by the media and answered a few words.

"Champions, champions, we're here to win championships. Yes, since the Champions League was restructured, no team has successfully defended their title. I know that. But history is meant to be rewritten. If not for the championship, what are we here for? ”

Chang Sheng said.

"I have a good relationship with Pep, but it's not about this game. We're going to give it our all to each other. That's how we pay tribute to each other. ”

A reporter asked: "But have you thought about it, if you beat him, it might take him down from the position of Barcelona manager." In other words, your respect may cost him his job. Isn't that considerate for your friends? ”

Chang Sheng's expression was surprised: "The value of a manager is reflected in the victory. And this victory was won by one's own efforts, and definitely not by the charity of others. I'm amazed that you would have such an idea. The idea of hoping that the opponent will release the water and thus win is a shame for the manager! Good thing you're not the manager......"

The reporter looked embarrassed.

And some reporters who knew Chang Sheng next to him were snickering.

Chang Sheng: This must be an opportunity to answer questions to satirize this reporter.

This kind of levelless problem. If you ask it, you deserve to be ridiculed by Chang Sheng. His peers didn't sympathize with him at all.

When Lazio arrived in London, there was only one training session.

Tonight's acclimatization training and the next day's competition.

After an afternoon of rest in the hotel, the whole team went to Wembley Stadium in the evening for warm-up training.

The training was open to the media, and journalists were able to go to the Lazio training and ensure that no security guards would come to bomb them.

And Chang Sheng participated in the pre-match press conference.

At the pre-match press conference, Chang Sheng announced the team's starting lineup, which was not much different from what the media had speculated.

There were a number of players who did not appear in the starting line-up for last week's game against Lecce.

Constant victory gave them a rest.

That's why, against Lecce, both Chang Sheng and Lazio didn't care about fitness. It's a completely hard-hitting style of play.

Because there are many lineups for Chang Sheng. For him. There is no distinction between the main force and the substitute.

The quality of his first-team players is all close.

In the starting line-up announced by Chang Sheng, Klose returned to the main central striker position, and Cavani has almost recovered from his injury. But it's still a long way from playing, let alone an important game like the Champions League final.

So Klose is still in the main role.

This is a player who was bought to rotate Cavani. Unexpectedly, he became the absolute core of Lazio's offensive line this season, and the team's top scorer.

Not only that, but he also has a chance to win the top scorer in the Champions League this season.

Messi scored eleven goals before the final, while Klose scored ten.

This game is not only a match to decide which team will be the champion, but also a duel between two goalscorers who will win the top scorer in the Champions League.

So this final is actually quite interesting.

David Silva and Mario Goetze are on the left and right.

The midfield trio are Luka Modric, Ledesma and Ballack.

Luka Modric was at the back, with Ledesma and Ballack slightly up front.

Barzaretti at left-back and Cesar Azpilicueta at right-back.

The two centre-backs were Jose Passarella and Giorgio Chiellini.

Goalkeeper Handanovic.

Chang Sheng didn't hide this lineup, because for today's media and opponents, his starting lineup has no secrets.

Especially for Pep Guardiola.

Pep Guardiola knows Lazio very well.

Later in Barcelona's pre-match press conference, Pep Guardiola also announced Barcelona's starting line-up for tomorrow.

Naturally, it is also the strongest lineup.

Neither side intends to hold anything back in the final.

As Chang Sheng said, both sides have to give it their all, and this is how they pay tribute to each other.

※※※

On match day, the Wembley Stadium was already crowded around.

The Lazio and Barcelona fans looked friendly before the game – but there were plenty of reasons for the two teams to be friendly, they were from the same club, their two managers had a good personal relationship, and their tactical styles were similar......

But the relationship between the two teams has always been strained.

The two teams are from the same door and have similar tactical styles, which is one of the reasons for their poor relationship.

Even if the two managers have a good personal relationship, they can't make up for the gap.

But just because the team is not in good shape doesn't mean the fans have to be bad.

As long as the game doesn't start. There is no hatred.

Even the national derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid is often seen before the game with fans wearing Barcelona jerseys and hugging fans.

It seems to be very harmonious.

But when the game starts, if you dare to sit in the stands where Barcelona fans gather in a Real Madrid shirt, you have to admire your courage......

The game hasn't started yet. The fans of Lazio and Barcelona were naturally in for a treat.

When the game starts, this warm scene will disappear.

"It's going to be a very monumental game for Lazio. If they can beat Barcelona in the final, they will be the Champions League restructured. The first team to defend the champions! That's quite an achievement......"

"Lazio and Barcelona are old rivals, but this is the first time they have met in a Champions League final......

With two hours to go, a number of media outlets have already arrived at Wembley Stadium to broadcast live.

More than a dozen satellite broadcast vans aimed their antennas at the sky, and film crews spread across the square, looking for fans to come for interviews.

Different languages from different countries rang out in the square outside Wembley Stadium at the same time.

It's quite spectacular.

When the buses of Lazio and Barcelona appeared outside the stadium one after another, the square boiled and set off the first one.

The fans on both sides immediately tore off the friendly masks that they had enjoyed before.

Because Lazio buses came first, it was only natural that Lazio fans would have to cheer for their team.

The Barcelona fans distracted them with boos.

At this point, you can't tell how friendly they were before......

When the Barcelona buses arrived, it was the same. It's just that the relationship between the two sides has been reversed.

Barcelona fans cheered. Lazio fans booed.

Wait until both teams are in the dressing room. Wembley Stadium began to open for admission, with fans from both sides entering through the designated entrance.

The finals are about to begin.

※※※

In the dressing room, the Lazio players are resting.

At this time, there was still some time before the start of the game. There's no need to run out right away to warm up.

The players will take a break first and do something about themselves. For example, listening to music, praying, taking selfies with mobile phones, playing ball, and dressing up......

Various.

There were a lot of interesting things in the dressing room before the game.

Here you can easily see how each player is getting used to it.

Of course, the dressing room habits of different national teams are different.

In England, for example, the dressing room is like a discotheque. It was full of music, jokes, and chaos.

In Italy, the dressing room is always dead, like a church or a library. All were absolutely focused. If you're in the middle of it, you'll simply want to cut through that tension with a knife.

This is not the case with Lazio, though.

Because Lazio is not technically an Italian team.

The Italian media once ridiculed Lazio as the team that most resembles Spain in Italian football.

With a number of Spanish players in the Lazio squad and their manager Chang Sheng having been in charge of Spain for many years before that, the style of Spanish football is clearly imprinted.

Lazio was in the dressing room before the game, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

Of course, it's not going to be as relaxed as the dressing room of an English team, it's too relaxing.

It's not so noisy, everyone is doing their own thing, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

Music is also playing in the locker room.

Each team will have its own "songwriter", usually a player, who will choose a few songs to play in the dressing room before the game, depending on the team's preferences.

If these music are chosen well, it will greatly enhance the team's combat effectiveness. If you don't choose well...... That's the end of it.

Lazio's "music selector" is not fixed, but is changed every once in a while to ensure that the taste is always changing and the style is always new.

Now, before the match against Barcelona, the music playing in the dressing room is the soundtrack "dont_let_me_be_d" from the movie "Kill Bill" when the heroine "Black Mamba" and the Japanese female killer go head-to-head.

A fast-paced drum beat and slap sound as a prelude, making people's hearts and bodies jump with it.

The players with Lazio couldn't even help but writhe in the dressing room.

It's a flamenco that is not chosen by any player, but by their head coach Chang Sheng himself.

As I said before, the music in the dressing room before the game is also very important, good music can boost morale and help the players adjust.

Therefore, such an important pre-game music, Chang Sheng naturally has to take care of it personally.

In the end, he chose such a cheerful dance song, hoping to let his players play like dancing on the court, with rhythm and rhythm.

Victory depends on the details, and the details are all about it......

ps: ps, recommend this episode "dont_let_me_be_d", you can go down and listen to it, it's very emotional!
