Chapter 144: We Are the Champions (Medium)

Time is fair for anyone, and before you know it, a week has passed, and at this time, the major European leagues have also come to an end.

After a season's journey, the end result is that some people are crying and some are laughing. Although it seems cruel and incomprehensible, there is no way, this is football.

The end of the major leagues has also made Europe about to enter a period of no football, which is undoubtedly bad news for fans. Thinking about the fact that I am about to face the fact that I have integrated football into my life, but I can't watch the game for a few months, I'm afraid that as long as you are a fan, you will not feel good.

The major leagues are over, and it stands to reason that the boom in European football has begun to subside at this time. But in fact, at this time, the eyes of the whole Europe, and even the whole world, are focused on the Camp Nou, the home stadium of Barcelona, because in this way, the most crucial game of the season is about to be staged, that is, the Champions League final.

This time, it is Liverpool and Serie A giants who can stand on the pitch of the Champions League final; To the disappointment of all England fans, AC Milan did not give Manchester United any chance to see the English team meet in the Champions League final.

anetbsp; The second leg of the match, this. The Brazilian genius Kaka, who had just joined AC Milan this season, suddenly exploded, passing and shooting, which made the entire Old Trafford stadium cry constantly.

AC Milan was able to stand on the ball in the Champions League final. On the field, I'm afraid no one will be surprised by this. After all, whether it is strength or experience, AC Milan is the best in the world. So no one will be surprised that AC Milan can reach the Champions League final.

It was Liverpool's promotion, which caused many to fall through the eye. Compared with everyone, Liverpool will tenaciously reach the final, and in countless strong conversations, tenaciously reach the final.

When Liverpool enter the knockout stages, every time they encounter . The strength of the opponents is very strong, at least stronger than Liverpool. Every time Liverpool is on the road to the Champions League, the outside world will think that Liverpool is about to be eliminated, but Liverpool, with its own perseverance and tenacity, makes people fall through the glasses again and again, and move forward step by step in the wind and rain.

Against Juventus, when everyone thought Liverpool would be eliminated and Juventus advanced, Liverpool unexpectedly eliminated the Bianconeri.

Against Barcelona, when everyone thought Ronaldinho would lead Barcelona to finish Liverpool and advance to the next round. Liverpool were like a wolf, with terrifying resilience and tenacity, on the contrary, sending Barcelona away.

Against the mighty Galactic battleship Real Madrid, when everyone thought that Liverpool's Champions League road this year would stop there, when everyone thought that Liverpool would be beaten into a sieve like last year by Real Madrid.

Liverpool are telling everyone in their own way that you are wrong. With a tenacious defense, Liverpool was stunned to let Real Madrid's superstars lose their way, which also made Real Madrid unable to step into the Champions League in the end.

Although Liverpool can be regarded as a traditional giant and a strong team, judging from the results of the past ten years, Liverpool can go all the way to the final of the Champions League, and it is definitely a dark horse among dark horses.

Of course, Liverpool was able to beat La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid on the way to the Champions League, which also made English fans relieved, not unconsciously in front of Spanish fans, standing up.

Your La Liga football level is just not good, what's the matter, you're still not convinced, you haven't seen the Champions League, your so-called two giants in La Liga have been killed by our English Liverpool, is this the so-called highest level of your La Liga?

I have to say that the mouths of English fans are absolutely very poisonous, and the Spanish fans who say these words hate itchy, but they can't refute the English fans. After all, Liverpool beat the La Liga giants twice in the Champions League, which is a fact that no one can change.

Unable to refute the English fans, the Spanish fans naturally secretly hated Liverpool, which also made Liverpool and anetetbsp; No way, who called the location of the Champions League final this time is the Camp Nou Stadium in Spain, for Liverpool, who killed the La Liga giants twice, Spanish fans naturally will not have any good feelings, so in the final, La Liga fans have also fallen to anetbsp; Although the Champions League final has not officially started, enthusiastic fans have already begun to arrange the atmosphere of the Champions League final in advance. Although the game has not yet started, the atmosphere of the final is already very strong at this time, with the Camp Nou as the center.

"Guys, are you ready?" In the locker room of Liverpool at Camp Nou, Lao Bei was also a little nervous at this time, and at the same time looked at the disciples sitting in front of him with a serious face, and asked lightly.

You must know that during this time, Lao Bei is really beautiful, not only leading the team to defend the league championship, but also leading the team to the Champions League final, this achievement, I'm afraid no one can achieve it.

You must know that Lao Bei has only been in Liverpool for two seasons, and he has won two league championships in two seasons, a Champions League semi-final, plus this Champions League final, 50% of the Champions League titles. This achievement is absolutely staggering and enviable.

Although he had made detailed preparations and research before the game, seeing that the game was about to start, even if he didn't have to go to the game in person, Lao Bei still felt very nervous.

But Lao Bei knows very well that no matter how nervous he is, he can't show it, otherwise it will definitely affect the morale of the team.

Therefore, although Lao Bei was very nervous at this time, he had to pretend that he was okay and start the usual pre-game mobilization.

"Don't be nervous!" It would be a lie to say that you are not nervous, you must know how many years it has been since Liverpool reached the Champions League final again. However, everyone is a man, and face is still very important, so even if he is obviously very nervous, he still wants to save face and say that he is not nervous.

Lao Bei knew more or less about this, but Lao Bei didn't bother to care about this, just continued.

"Soon, we are going to enter the last game of the 2oo3-2oo4 season, which is the Champions League final, think about how many years we Liverpool haven't come to this point, but this time, we Liverpool have finally come this far without being favored by the outside world, and with that alone, I am proud to be your manager."

"It wasn't a long game, it was only 90 minutes, but we at Liverpool have been waiting for this moment for I don't know how many years. Although the opponent is very strong, why don't we Liverpool go all the way, kill the opponents who are stronger than our Liverpool, and step on their corpses to get here. Alright, guys, Liverpool heroes, go for the final battle and take home that tempting big-eared cup. ”

Lao Bei's tone was very calm, very calm, but when it fell into the ears of the Liverpool players, it seemed very leaky.

"Ahh George yelled, ignored anyone, stood up and walked out of the locker room without looking back.

Everyone didn't say anything about George's strange behavior, because George's resoluteness could be heard from George's shouting just now. Thinking of this, the main players also stood up one after another, and also learned from George to roar and walked to the players' tunnel.

When George arrived at the players' tunnel as usual, the first thing he saw was the big-eared cup that was placed at the exit of the players' tunnel, and although the big-eared cup was a dead thing, it was undoubtedly the biggest temptation for any professional player.

Because in a sense, the allure of the big-eared cup is definitely higher than the Hercules cup. Because you want to get the Hercules Cup, your national team must be a strong team so that you can get the Hercules Cup.

But many players, with the exception of Brazil and the traditional football powerhouses such as Argentina and Italy, France, have a national team that is not very good.

In this case, it is almost impossible for these players to get the Hercules Cup. Therefore, in the eyes and minds of these people, the big-eared cup is the trophy they want the most.

No way, because of the level of the national team, there is almost no hope for the Hercules Cup if it is not a strong team. But the Big Ear Cup is different, if you have the strength, you will naturally stretch out of the giants, so the Big Ear Cup will not be as unattainable as the Hercules Cup.

"Hello everyone and welcome to Camp Nou, today is an important day because we are about to play this year's Champions League final at Camp Nou. Against both sides, Liverpool and AC Milan, they have gone through layers of tests and battles, and it is difficult to walk to the Camp Nou, as for which team will bring home this year's Big Ears Cup, let's wait and see. Okay, I won't say more nonsense, now that the players from both sides have entered the stadium, let's welcome the players from both sides with warm applause. ”

"Baby, wait for me, wait for me to bring you home." The moment George followed the referees into the court, George thought to himself as he passed the Big Ear Cup.

There are also many big names on the scene today, and the celebrities of Liverpool and AC Milan have also come to the scene, hoping to cheer for their beloved team.

Not only that, but there were also Spanish royalty, England royalty, and many old stars who have retired, but are still strange. Maradona, Cruyff, Platini, Pele, etc., as long as you can imagine the stars, basically this time they are all here.

After all, this is the Champions League final, as long as the players and fans, as long as there is a chance to be able to be there, I am afraid that no one can refuse to come to the Camp Nou to watch the Champions League final.

At this time, on the big screen at the scene, the list of both sides has begun to be announced.

For Liverpool, George and Owen are still playing as strikers, and in midfield, Colwill, Mitchell and Steven Gerrard are all in the middle, but Hamann replaced Alonso as a player this time. It seems that Lao Bei also hopes that in such an important game, Hamann can use his experience and mental quality to help the team win.

At the back: Carragher and Hyypia remain Liverpool's unstoppable centre-backs, with Yepes and Reese playing as left and right wing-backs respectively. As for the goalkeeper, it is, of course, Dudek.

For AC Milan, Shepchenko is at the front as a single arrow. In midfield, Kaka and Rui Costa followed, while Seedorf, Andrea Pirlo and Gattuso formed a defensive central midfield that could play both offensively and defensively.

Defensively, AC Milan is definitely the number one in the world, Stam and Nesta sit in the center back, Cafu and Maldini are the two old players in the left side of the team, and Dida, who is known as the world's No. 1 player, is guarding the center; Guess the ball, this is the first time George has come into close contact with Maldini, if it was placed in the past, George would definitely be very excited, but at this moment George only needs to have the will to fight.

Anyway, according to Maldini's career, it is still long, coupled with AC Milan's own strength, George still has a chance to play against Maldini.

So this time, George didn't have any politeness with Maldini at all, but just started picking the side and the ball before the game.

As luck would have it, Liverpool got the kick-off circle, and Maldini was not at all polite and chose the more favorable one; "Well, fans, spectators, this is the Camp Nou, and the Champions League final between Liverpool and AC Milan officially began with the referee's whistle."

In a shocking cheer at the Camp Nou, George handed the ball to Owen on the side, and Owen once again passed the ball to the backfield, and the two headed towards anetbsp; Because the game had just begun, the physical fitness of the players on both sides was not a problem at all, so as soon as the game began, AC Milan began to implement the tactics of pressing all over the court and began to rush over.

Hamann took the ball, used his strong body to lower Seedorf behind him, and passed the ball to Gerrard on the side.

Gerrard had just gotten his hands on the ball when Kaka had already rushed over. However, Gerrard did not panic and calmly handed the ball to Mitchell on the right.

Smitchell didn't give Pirlo a chance to perform, and after getting a pass from Steven Gerrard, he directly shifted the ball and handed the ball to Colwill on the left.

Colwill took advantage of the degree and directly shook off Gattuso beside him, and rushed towards the bottom line with the ball.

"Stop him!" Seeing that Colwill had the meaning of a bottom cross, he had already known before the game that Liverpool's high-altitude bombing was very sharp, and seeing this scene, Maldini couldn't help but remind his teammates loudly.

As AC Milan's left wing-back, Cafu certainly rushed forward. Before Colwill could pass the ball, he slid and shoveled the ball off the touchline.

"Damn, this old guy reacted so fast!" Rising from the ground, Colwill looked at Cafu, who had scooped the ball off the sideline, and couldn't help but think to himself.

"Hehe~ The game has just begun, and the two sides have already begun to play with their lives, and it seems that both sides want to win this game."

Nonsense, at this time, who on both sides will be conservative and who does not want to win the game earlier.

"George's header hits the goal ~ Dida, Dida reacted quickly and blocked Liverpool's attack sideways, and the Brazilian saved this time; While the commentator was still there babbling his opinions and opinions, Liverpool instantly completed the first attack of the game. Liverpool played the ball out of the touchline and scored a couple of passes before the ball was finally hoisted into the box by Smitchell.

George was not very powerful under Nesta's interference, which also gave Dida a chance to react and block the ball sideways.

"~ two demons!" Looking at Nesta, who had just defended himself, and Dida, who had blocked the ball, George couldn't help but think to himself.

The shadow of the tree of human life, one is known as the world's first defender, the other is known as the world's first reaction, and that one is especially easy to deal with. It seems that George wants to score goals and needs to work hard.

Seeing that there was no goal, George couldn't help but feel pity, although this attack was nothing and the chances were not very good. But because the game was so important, George was also very nervous and wanted to score early.

Therefore, even if the quality of the attack is not very good this time, it is normal to attack without a goal, and George can't help but feel sorry after seeing that there is no goal.

Smitchell took a corner, this time AC Milan did not give Liverpool any chance, under the protection of Nesta, Stam jumped high, grabbed Gerrard, and pushed the ball out of the box, the ball was instantly picked up by Kaka.

All of a sudden, the two sides were in a fiery battle, and both sides were constantly attacking each other's goals again and again.

Kaka and Shepchenko made a one-two, shook off Carragher's defense and fired a powerful shot that was sideways by Dudek.

Rui Costa made a wonderful pass to Shepchenko, but unfortunately Shepchenko's final shot was slightly off, and in the surprise of the whole audience, it flew directly out of the bottom line.

George passes Owen, but Owen's shot is ruined by Maldini, who arrived in time.

Gerrard burst into action from 30 yards out, but it was deflected wide.

The game has been going on for more than 20 minutes, and the two sides have still not been able to change the score on the field. Although both sides made a few dangerous attacks against each other, unfortunately they were a little unlucky and were unable to score for a long time.

"Pass, give me a constant pass!" Carlo Ancelotti stood on the sidelines and reminded the players loudly. Ancelotti knows very well that Liverpool's defense is very strong, even no less than AC Milan, after all, in the face of Real Madrid, Liverpool defended stubbornly, and the opponent could not score, at least Ancelotti has no confidence, his team can ensure that the goal is not lost when encountering Real Madrid's crazy attack.

Therefore, before the game, Ancelotti asked the players to pass the ball more, be patient, and tear apart Liverpool's defense by passing the ball, so as to give the opponent the most fatal blow.

Carlo Ancelotti's words really worked, and in the 31st minute of the game, AC Milan finally broke the deadlock on the field.

Rui Costa received a pass from Kaka, a scalpel version of the precise pass, the ball instantly tore through the Liverpool defence, Shepchenko quickly whipped up, caught up with the ball, and before Dudek came out to block, his right foot gently rubbed the ball, the ball flew past Dudek's hands and into the goal.

“coooooooooooooooa1!!! Andre. Shepchenko! In the 31st minute of the first half, the Ukrainian nuclear warhead received a wonderful pass from Rui Costa, grabbed the ball before Dudek blocked it, and sent the ball into the opponent's door in the form of a hanging shot. 1:o,anetbsp; As the ball got closer to the goal, the entire Camp Nou stadium instantly turned into a sea of joy, and countless AC Milan fans began to celebrate wildly, celebrating that the team was able to take the lead.

Uh~ Not only AC Milan fans, but also many Spanish fans at the scene, because the opponent against AC Milan was Liverpool, who doubled the La Liga giants, Spanish fans naturally did not have a good impression of Liverpool, and at this time they also chose to support AC Milan, seeing AC Milan score, Spanish fans also began to celebrate.

At this time, only a part of the North Stand remained silent at the huge Camp Nou, where nearly 30,000 Liverpool and England fans had arrived from England.
