"Well, that's really what Leon said? Ha... This is very in line with his temperament, then I will return this sentence to him, and I also wish Chelsea the Champions League dream next year~

It's a different final and it's fair to say it's been a long time since the fans have seen a team like ours on the stage of a Champions League final, so it's going to be exciting and I'm looking forward to it.

We prepared a lot and you will see a fully prepared Atletico Madrid team on the day of the final, and last year's injury is now the driving force for us to move forward.

Of course, the tactics have to be kept secret first, and the experience against Mourinho is always unforgettable, and I will have a drink with him after the Champions League final, win or lose......"

When the content of Leon's interview after the FA Cup final was transmitted to Spain, Simeone, who was leading the team to prepare for the game, also responded generously in an interview with the media.

However, just like Mourinho now, when a reporter asked Simeone about the tactical arrangement of the Champions League final, he also laughed and did not talk about it.

Chelsea in London is considered to be close to the water.

After winning the FA Cup, Chelsea had just one day off and the next day they played an early training match at Wembley Stadium.

The FA is of course opening the door to Chelsea at this time.

However, the media in England were very dissatisfied.

Because Mourinho directly chose closed training, no reporters were allowed to film and interview Chelsea training at this time.

Not only the team training match at Wembley Stadium, but also the subsequent Chelsea preparations at the Cobham training base were kept completely confidential.

The last six days of preparation and recuperation passed quickly.

Atletico Madrid started preparing for the Champions League directly after finishing La Liga.

They have no other games to play, so they have an extra week to prepare for this time than Chelsea, who have also played a cup finale.

But everything depends on the pros and cons.

The whole Atletico squad is definitely more rested, and they have more time for tactical preparation and drills.

But these days, they can't get any other big teams to play, and at most they can only play in-team training matches.

Therefore, the feeling of Atletico Madrid's whole team is basically incomparable to Chelsea.

That's one of Chelsea's big strengths in this Champions League final.

Of course, all kinds of analysis and discussion before the game are only on paper, and the specific preparation of the two teams can be seen in the actual battle.

On the morning of June 5, Simeone led his team to London ahead of schedule.

Atletico Madrid and Tottenham have agreed in advance to rent a training venue.

In the afternoon of the same day, the whole Atletico Madrid team, which had completed the daily training, also took a bus to Wembley Stadium to complete the stepping point.

Having reached the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons, Atletico Madrid can now be said to be completely reborn compared to the same city team that Leon was familiar with at the beginning.

The biggest difference isn't just the change in the positions of a few starters.

Simeone, on the other hand, has managed to integrate his tactical style and temperament perfectly into the current Atletico team.

Players who didn't work well with his tactics and didn't really recognize his tactical philosophy have left Atletico.

In this regard, Simeone and Mourinho are actually very similar, their individual tactical characteristics are very strong, and they are also the same in the team.

As long as they have 100% trust from the team's top management, they can use their tactical will to transform a team into a team of iron-blooded players who can achieve great results.

The same defense is based on the same emphasis on the competition for space on the court, and it can also play fast and sharp counterattacks.

This Atletico side does have a lot in common with Chelsea now.

Both teams have also been able to torture their opponents with their unique pressing counter-attacking play in their respective leagues.

So a large number of fans who have been tortured by these two teams are now very "gloating".

They can't wait to see Atletico or Chelsea being tormented by their own style of play!

The tension leading up to the Champions League final is filling the streets of London.

And Li Ang, who had been silent for almost 6 days, also updated his social media on the morning of the Champions League final.

He did not clearly express his determination or mood at the moment, but released a series of date numbers.

May 29, 2011, August 17, 2011, May 19, 2012, May 25, 2012, August 31, 2012......

After the date was updated to May 30, 2015, Leon only posted a meme touching his chin and making a thinking gesture.

At first, many fans didn't understand what Leon was trying to say.

But when a Leon fan posted the cup final that year the numbers represented, it was instantly clear to the large number of neutral fans.

"Damn, I let this guy get it again! He hasn't lost in all the cup finals he's played in since his debut! ”

"It's a great way to express confidence, I like it!"

"Hey guys, I've counted, Leon has won 11 cups since his debut! This is an exaggeration, he has only just turned 24 years old! ”

"Ahem, although I know the name of the England Community Shield is small, you shouldn't have left it out as a brother, so Leon now has 12 cup titles in his hands."

"Then let Atletico interrupt Leon's record of winning the championship as long as he reaches the cup final, it's terrible......"

Li Ang's social media update made fans who had been holding back for almost a week enthusiastically discussed.

And Li Ang does have the capital to live.

Even Melo couldn't win 100 per cent of the cup finals, but he did, and the opponents he faced in the final were not weak.

Atletico Madrid is indeed strong enough, but if you really want to compare, the current Atletico Madrid is still a strength gap compared with Barcelona in 12 years and Bayern in 13 years.

The stronger opponent Li Ang has already crossed, and there is no reason to show weakness to the current Atletico Madrid.

And they have all reached the Champions League final, and if they don't boost the morale of the whole team at this time, when will it be?

usually keeps a low profile to save character, and that is also to play stably on today's final stage.

To say that the strength of his teammates and the tactical arrangement of the coaching staff, Li Ang is absolutely confident.

But many of his young team-mates have never played in a Champions League final, and even Ibrahimovic has no experience in a Champions League final.

So in terms of mentality, Li Ang feels that it is necessary to add some material to his teammates, so that they don't have to be too nervous, and they must be confident first!

Facts have also proved that his work was not in vain.

Although he was ridiculed by Mu Shuai, when everyone rushed to Wembley Stadium by bus in the afternoon, Li Ang could clearly feel the relaxation of the atmosphere in the team on the bus.

It's completely different from the overly serious atmosphere on the pitch when they were training yesterday.

After changing his equipment in the locker room and warming up, Leon deliberately pinched Hazard's shoulder and jokingly told him to relax.

"I'll have to count on you in attack today, Eden, don't look at how hard the media blew Atletico's backline before the game, you have to believe me, I've played against them, you can definitely beat Juanfran in attack..."

After being instilled with chicken soup by Leon, although Hazard still felt nervous in his heart, he was still emotionally relaxed.

After a bit of gags with the rest of his young teammates, Li Ang gradually restrained his smile and seriously devoted himself to the final warm-up before the game.

In today's Champions League final, TV stations or online platforms with copyright in various countries have started live broadcasts earlier than before.

Therefore, fans from all over the world basically saw the tail of the warm-up session of the two teams.

After the warm-up, both teams of players also trotted back to the tunnel quickly.

They will seize the last bit of time to raise morale and the game is about to begin, with all eyes on the world's fans at Wembley Stadium today!

Radio 5 also sent a huge commentary and interview team to the scene today.

He Wei and Xu Yang, the two old partners of the five TV commentators, were broadcasting the commentary live today.

Because of the free broadcast, most fans in China still choose to watch the live broadcast of Channel 5 today.

After arriving at the point, the players of both teams began to follow the pace of the referee team onto the court.

And He Wei also interrupted Xu Yang's chatter in time, and seized the time to introduce the starting situation of the two teams to the domestic audience tonight.

"Okay, the Champions League theme music is playing, and the real battle is about to begin!

Chelsea and Atletico Madrid have yet to win the Champions League, so no matter which team wins tonight, dear viewers, we will be witnessing the birth of a new Champions League winner!

Here's what Chelsea started for today:

The trident on the line of attack is Ibrahimovic, who we are very familiar with, Eden Hazard De Bruyne.

In midfield, it was no surprise that the iron triangle of Kroos, Nemanja Matic and Leon also made their debut.

At the back, John Terry and Thiago Silva formed a central defensive duo, with Bertrand at left and Cesar Azpilicueta at right.

The starting goalkeeper was still Petr Cech.

On the Atletico Madrid side, because Griezmann was injured in the Champions League semifinals and was reimbursed for the season, it was Raul Garcia who replaced him in the starting striker position today.

Atletico's other starting striker is Diego Costa.

In midfield, Gabi and Thiago were behind in the middle today, while the left and right wing-backs were Koke and Arda Tulan respectively.

At the back, Godin and Miranda formed a double central defence, with Felipe Luiz and Juanfran at left and right wing-backs.

The goalkeeper is Thibaut Courtois, who has continued to spend this season on loan from Chelsea. ”

As soon as He Wei's words fell, the players of the two teams had basically completed the pre-game ceremony.

Leon winked at Costa as he shook hands.

However, Costa made a pouting expression at him.

The two are also old friends on the court, although they haven't met on the court for almost two years, they know each other's playing styles well.

The fans at the scene did not wait long, and at 19:45 that night, as soon as the time came, the referee who pinched the watch directly blew the whistle for the start of the game!

Chelsea, who started today's game with a 433 formation, took the initiative to roll out the formation and launched a tentative attack on Atletico Madrid.

Simeone would love to see such a situation, and when it comes to pure attack, his team is indeed no match for the current Chelsea team.

Especially when striker Antoine Griezmann is still out injured.

Atletico is very good at defending and counter-attacking, and the players on the field will also play very comfortably.

Originally, he thought that Mourinho would not give him this opportunity, but now it seems that Chelsea are still somewhat arrogant......

Simeone's eyes showed a hint of joy, and on the field, Atletico's starters also quickly and skillfully switched to the full line of defense.

Chelsea's attack soon penetrated into the Atletico half.

At least on the surface, Chelsea are now in complete control of the pace of the game, and have formed a pressure on Atletico.

But fans who are familiar with Atletico's style of play know.

Now the two wings of Atletico Madrid, which are retracted in the half, are like two fists that are accumulating, and they are contracted in order to play better with force.

Without Antoine Griezmann, Atletico's counter-attacking midfield could be affected.

But with Diego Costa, the current top center forward, as the fulcrum in the frontcourt, Atletico Madrid's counter-attacking system is still quite complete.

Atletico Madrid, who played four midfielders, blocked the middle of the midfield to death.

Leon made a few breakthrough attempts with the ball, but he couldn't force his way through Atletico's defensive shackles in the middle of the pack with Gabi and Thiago.

In terms of feelings, Leon feels that Atletico are the only team in Europe that can compete with Chelsea in defence.

Atletico's defence is very pressing, and the emphasis on space is basically the same as Chelsea's.

Both teams like to use strong runs and frequent rebounds to create a strong defensive side in local space.

If you blindly attack, you will be like Real Madrid in the last round, not to mention exhausted in the offensive end, and you must always be wary of Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack.

Li Ang quickly had a bottom in his heart, and in the 7th minute of the first half, he saw him make a tactical gesture of pressing down on his teammates behind him.

Then the whole Chelsea team, which had just been attacking aggressively, changed its style and abruptly lowered the pace of the game.

Mourinho is standing on the sidelines at this time, and he has also made tactical adjustments to recycle the formation.

The tacit understanding of this pair of master and apprentice made Simeone have a bad thought in his heart.

Chelsea started the game with just seven minutes of rhythm and decided to settle in control.

This saucy made countless fans in front of the TV dumbfounded.

The operation of grabbing the start does not work and adjusting tactics in time is not uncommon in football.

But your Chelsea have only been attacking for less than seven minutes before decisively shrinking the formation, is this attempt a little shorter?

Atletico Madrid's players on the pitch also looked at each other.

Chelsea started to play possession in midfield, so will they continue to defend meaninglessly, or will they press out and fight for the ball?

The tactical choice question was tossed to Simeone by Jose Mourinho.

Or rather, from the very beginning, the whole Chelsea team did not have the idea of completely overpowering Atletico in attack.

This brief attacking probe has given Chelsea's players an idea of Atletico's form today.

The only multiple-choice question to do in tactical games has always been to find a way to drag the opponent into the field that he is good at.

Atletico are also good at defending and counter-attacking, so Chelsea will not be able to press Atletico for a long time.

Since it's not easy to decide in one fell swoop, let's make a fuss about Chelsea's best attrition!

I heard that you Atletico are very good at running?

Coincidentally.

We can run in Chelsea too!
