Chapter 430: The Verge
Chapter 430 is on the verge of breaking out
The lights of the Mestalla Stadium illuminate the stadium and the stands!
The fans on both sides are distinct.
As it is a neutral venue, both clubs have 20,000 tickets each, and in the stands on either side behind the goal, there are red and white striped shirts on one side and white Real Madrid on the other.
The remaining 15,000 tickets were for neutral zone fans, just enough to separate fans from both sides.
In fact, between the stands of fans on both sides, there is also a shot of security guards to prevent fans from crossing the line.
The stands were crowded, and if there was any disturbance, it would be a big deal.
Players from both sides lined up in the players' tunnel at the Mestalla Stadium and were ready to play.
At this time, the live broadcast was showing the starting lists of both sides.
Every time a player's name is read, there are cheers and boos in the stands.
It's a close fight.
The referee in charge of this match was Alberto Marienco, a famous whistle of the Spanish Football Federation in recent years. He was the only Spanish referee to officiate at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The Spanish whistler, dressed in a yellow referee uniform, was communicating with his referee team while waiting for the start of the match.
"Keep your players' emotions under control, two captains!"
Marienko said as he walked up to the captain at the front of the queue on both sides.
Both Casillas and Raul Garcia nodded, and at times like these, no one would be stupid enough to give the referee a face.
You must know that the referee is the absolute authority on the field, and if you offend the referee, the opponent's whistle in this game will be slightly off....... The difficulty of the competition has increased exponentially.
......
In the stadium, Gao Bo was already sitting in the coach's seat.
At this time, a camera was locking on him, and a close-up of the Atletico Madrid manager also appeared on the TV screen.
"Gao Bo! The head coach from China, this season, he could lead Atletico Madrid to the top! ”
Aduris sat in the commentary seat.
The environment of the commentary bench is still very good, there is a TV above their heads, so that the commentators can comment on some close-up broadcast footage at any time, and at the bottom, there is a clear view of the whole stadium, they can clearly see the position of the players on the pitch and the picture of running and attacking.
"They've basically locked up the league title this season, and if they win this game, Atletico Madrid will be the double this season!" Matteo said.
"What about the league? Is there no suspense in the league? Aduris reminded that after all, there are still six games left in the Atletico Madrid league.
"No kidding, Adu! Atletico Madrid are seven points clear of second place in six games, and unless Atletico Madrid loses three in a row in those six games, the title will still be theirs. Matteo said.
"And what do you think of this game?"
"I'm more optimistic about Atletico Madrid!"
"Really?! A lot of the media are optimistic about Mourinho. ”
"It's a 100 per cent win rate in the final, and it doesn't mean much to put it in this game alone, Adu."
The two commentators began to discuss the situation before the players came out.
.....
The managers of both sides were given a close-up on the television broadcast, and both managers looked very calm.
And before the start of the game, the TV showed images from the stands, and the Mestalla stadium was packed.
Later, in the box, many celebrities were also taken care of by the camera's lens.
Bosque, the head coach of the Spanish national team, appeared in the box, and he was surrounded by celebrities from all walks of life in Spain.
Real Madrid president Florentino and Atlético Madrid president Cerezo were also present in the stadium box.
Sitting in the middle of them was one of the elders the Spaniards was most familiar with.
King Juan Carlos I of Spain!
Every year in the Copa del Rey final, King Juan Carlos I of Spain comes to watch the match and present awards to the champions and runners-up. This year is no exception.
The main reason why the security level of the Mestalla Stadium is so high today is because of the presence of the King. Around the stadium, more than a dozen police cars and more than 5,000 police officers were on standby. The Valencian Autonomous Region government has put a lot of effort into making the game safe and orderly.
.....
In anticipation, the players from both sides finally lined up under the leadership of the referee team.
The atmosphere of the scene immediately reached a climax!
Fans on both sides cheered with all their might!
The whole stadium was like a volcano erupting, and the enthusiastic cheers went straight to the sky, and also to the eardrums.
Now Aduris feels like his eardrums are vibrating, and as a commentator, he has also covered many heavyweight matches this season.
The matches between Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona were all commented by him, and the national derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona was also narrated by this veteran commentator.
But the atmosphere in the league is very different from a final like this!
Because it's an encounter, a big battle where whoever wins will lift the championship trophy!
The enthusiasm of the fans of both sides for such a game is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary leagues.
"Okay, friends in front of the TV, and welcome to the 2010-2011 Copa del Rey final broadcast live on Kobe TV, at the Mestalla Stadium, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid! Now the players from both sides are already in line!! ”
"Let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams!"
"Real Madrid, their starting list compared to the last time the two teams met has a personnel change, Arbeloa replaced Kaka, who started the last game, appeared in the starting position, according to the formation map given by the broadcaster, Real Madrid's formation today is 4411 formation, but Xavi Alonso is in which area, we still have to observe, today's Real Madrid starting goalkeeper is still Casillas, on the back line, Abelloa looks like playing right back, Marcelo at left-back, the centre-back duo is a partnership between Ramos and Carvalho, and in midfield, Mourinho has three defensive midfielders, Khedira, Las Diarra, and Pepe from the centre-back position to the midfielder position! Xavi Alonso also started, and on the forward line, it was Benzema at the front, and Ronaldo was behind him! ”
"It seems that Real Madrid is still playing a defensive counterattack today, with three muscular midfielders, it is not easy for Atletico Madrid to break through Real Madrid's defense today!"
"Yes, but Atletico Madrid's squad is also quite strong, and there are also personnel changes in the starting list of Atletico Madrid today, Aguero and Diego Costa start, Atletico Madrid is actually a double center forward in this game, and Reyes is temporarily on the bench in this game. In other positions, goalkeeper Navas, Juanfran on the back line, Godin, Boateng, Sandro are lined up, and in the midfield are Modric, Kante, Raul Garcia! ”
As the commentator spoke, the players from both teams were already standing on the field.
Diego stepped on the ball in the centre circle and Atletico Madrid kicked off first.
The Mestalla Stadium fell silent and everyone was waiting for the moment when the referee blew the whistle!
