Chapter 178: Cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium
The Champions League final is coming, and both Arsenal and Bayern attach great importance to this final, because the honor of winning the Champions League is valued by all clubs, and this championship is a great process that will make history for any team.
Although Arsenal has a reputation as a giant, they have always been a little lacking in confidence, because Arsenal has never won the Champions League, and even Arsenal has only played one Champions League final before this. So this time Arsenal are very serious about this game, they want to make history, they want to win the Champions League and stand at the top of Europe.
If Bayern can do it, then German football will have the first treble in history. In Bayern Munich's history, the team has won the German top flight 22 times, the German Cup 15 times and the Champions Cup four times, but has never won three titles at the same time in a year. Bayern, who have fully recovered this season, have won the league title and the German Cup, and they are now missing the most important Champions League title!
The mainstream media in Europe believes that only a team that wins the league title, the top cup in the country (for example, in England, it is the FA Cup, not the League Cup), and the UEFA Champions League can be called a treble. Some minor events, such as a winner-or-lose Super Cup, do not count.
The reason why the Triple Crown is talked about by the world is that it is quite difficult to achieve a "Grand Slam". Although five teams have done it in history, it was in 1967 when the Celtics won the treble. Su Chao has not yet begun to professionalize; And in the seventies and eighties of the last century, when the Dutch duo did this. The competition in the Dutch league is not fierce at home.
It is truly considered to be the crown with gold content. Only Manchester United in 1999 and Barcelona in 2009. In 1999, when Manchester United won the FA Cup and Champions Cup, there were some magical factors; In 2009, Barcelona survived the semi-finals, but there were some controversies. All of this proves how difficult it is to achieve the Triple Crown.
Nowadays, the schedules of major leagues are intensive, and the national team and European competitions are becoming more and more frequent, and becoming a treble means that the team has to put in more effort and overcome more difficulties. The existence of these difficulties. It also makes the Triple Crown special and more golden.
Of course, Arsenal have no chance of creating a treble this season, they are out of the FA Cup early, but they can expect the Champions League to win and become a double is also a very showy thing.
Arsenal is determined to win this game, not only expecting the team to make history and win the first Champions League title in the team's history, but also because Bayern looks not in the best shape in this game, because Ribery is suspended, Arsenal naturally needs to grasp this rare advantage.
Arsenal's charter flight arrived in Madrid three days ahead of schedule and Arsenal needed to adapt to the climate. They need to adapt to the pitch at the Bernabeu; Arsenal will take this game very seriously and they will be prepared for more details. And the Bayern team also arrived in Madrid around this time. They also take this game very seriously; Bayern coach Louis van Gaal and his players Van Bommel and Schweinsteiger attended the pre-Champions League final press conference at the Bernabeu, although it was in this game that Ribery's ban greatly weakened Bayern's strength, but the Bundesliga team is still full of confidence to become the sixth treble team.
UEFA's most forward-looking decision was clearly to schedule this season's Champions League final at the Bernabeu, a decision that inevitably made Real Madrid the biggest joke in Champions League history. Real Madrid, Europe's biggest clubs, have missed out on the quarter-finals of the Champions League for five consecutive seasons, and they may not have dreamed of that outcome when they fought for the final at the Bernabeu.
The 09-10 Champions League final will kick off at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, where Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga and Arsenal from the Premier League will face off together. It was the most important match before the Shijie Cup, and it was also a big battle full of drama, and the selling point of the game was more than any final in history.
Stylistically, the two teams are more identical. Bayern have become a passionate team under the leadership of Louis van Gaal, they may not be solid at the back, they may not be strong in the midfield, but they can always use their iron and passion to get through the game, knocking out Fiorentina and Inter Milan, Bayern are relying on Robben's magical adventures, which is very similar to the Liverpool team a few years ago. The sweep of Lyon allowed the fans to see a perfect whole, which is also the source of confidence for Bayern fans.
As for Arsenal, with young players as the main team over the years, coupled with the rapid outbreak after Xiao Qing joined, the current strength of Arsenal is getting stronger and stronger; Xiao Qing has now scored thirteen goals in this Champions League game, and is only one goal away from being able to tie the record for the highest goal in a single season in the Champions League, and only needs two goals Xiao Qing to break the single-season goal record in the Champions League that has been in the dust for decades.
Spain's Santiago Bernabeu and Camp Nou have been famous, having held five Champions League finals before, and the Germans seem to have been cursed after failing to win their matches.
The Bernabeu Stadium can accommodate 100,000 fans, and at this time the Bernabeu stands are basically all dazzling red; Bayern fans love red, and the Gunners are familiar with their red; It's a clash between two passionate red teams that will face off in the Champions League final.
UEFA has brought the Big Ears Cup to the Bernabeu Stadium, and at the opening ceremony all eyes were on the maddening Champions League trophy in the centre of the pitch, and in 90 minutes, another team will have their name engraved on the trophy.
Bayern goalkeeper Bout; Rahms, Van Bitten, Demichelis, Bad Stubert at the back; In midfield, Robben, Van Bommel, Schweinsteiger, Altentop; Up front, Thomas Muller and Olich.
Bayern naturally has no reservations, except for Ribery's ban, the Bayern team has almost all the main players. They are hungry for victory in this match, and they are hungry for the honor of being crowned Treble.
As for Arsenal, this game can be said to have sent the strongest lineup, Arsenal, who had been resting for almost a month, basically returned all the injured players at this time, and now Arsenal is strong, and they believe that they can actually perform better at this time.
goalkeeper Samunia; From right to left in the back line, Sagna, Vermaelen, Gallas and Klich; Alexander Song at the back, Fabregas, Arshavin and Diaby in midfield; There is no suspense on the forward line is Xiao Qing and Van Persie.
Arsenal are full of confidence right now, and it is obvious that Arsenal have performed well this season, but Arsenal's serious injuries are also known to everyone. But this season's Zuihou game, which is also the one where Arsenal are likely to make history, Arsenal finally fielded the strongest squad of the season, and Arsenal finally looked to be free from injury as the season drew to a close.
Xiao Qing is full of confidence, Arsenal has a neat lineup in this game, although Arsenal has not had such a neat lineup for a long time in terms of tactics, but the tactical players of their own team are familiar with it, and the players are not worried about tacit understanding at all. As for Bayern Munich, Arsenal don't care what the tactics of their opponents are, they just need to follow their own tactics, they all think they have the initiative, and they will use the rhythm they are most familiar with to win this game.
The players of Bayern Munich and Arsenal are all holding caddies and standing quietly in the players' tunnel, in fact, Xiao Qing is relatively more familiar with Bayern's players, because he and Bayern played against each other several times last season. It's a really important game, the players from both teams are hungry to win the game, so they didn't speak, they are opponents now, and now is not the time to say hello.
Xiao Qing felt that his heartbeat was getting more and more intense, and I believe that at this time, both Arsenal and Bayern players felt like this; Because for the players of these two teams, they have very few players who have played in the Champions League final, and this Champions League final is a game that will make history for either team, they must take this game very seriously, they simply cannot afford to lose this game.
Xiao Qing believes that no one will not care about this game at this time, and they are fully prepared. The players of both teams are ready to walk onto the pitch under the guidance of the referee, and they are ready to launch a powerful sprint towards the Champions League title.
The cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium were thunderous, and the fans of both teams were naturally cheering in unison, both eager for the team to win the Champions League, and they needed to bring more support to the team away from home.
Xiao Qing's eyes were hot, and Xiao Qing, who led the caddie out of the court, stared at the maddening trophy in the middle of the court; The players from both teams are on the pitch and it's the biggest game of the season, it's a game that the world is watching.
Xiao Qing got most of the cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium, in addition to the fans of Bayern, the fans of Arsenal naturally gave Xiao Qing cheers, and the neutral Real Madrid fans also supported Xiao Qing more at this time, because Xiao Qing eliminated Barcelona in the game, eliminated Real Madrid's sworn enemy, and avoided the embarrassment of Barcelona at the Bernabeu Stadium.
