Chapter 237: A Warrior Who Stepped on the Battlefield

The Champions League final is no stranger to Manchester United fans.

Last season in Milan, at the Meazza Stadium, they had a fantastic final. There, Manchester United reached the top of Europe for the first time since the Ferguson era!

This season, United reached the Champions League final for the second consecutive season, and the final took place in Wales, England, close enough to Manchester that United fans only need to drive a few hours to get there.

It stands to reason that Manchester United fans could have turned the final venue into their home stadium if they were so close, but UEFA has considered it.

The Millennium Stadium has 82,000 seats, and the tickets allocated to the two clubs are 25,000 tickets for each club. So the easiest thing for Manchester United fans is the 25,000 tickets that can be purchased in the club's stores and on the official website.

However, since 15,000 of them are only available for Manchester United Season Pass holders, if you are not a Manchester United Season Pass holder, you will have to grab the remaining 10,000 tickets.

Old Trafford was packed and there were so many United fans that tickets to the final were hard to come by.

Some people will say that 25,000 tickets were given to each of the two teams, and there are still more than 30,000 neutral tickets left to be purchased.

In fact, it is also very difficult to buy these more than 30,000 copies.

Of the more than 30,000 tickets, 20,000 of them are distributed to various sponsors of the Champions League, and it is not known what these sponsors will do with these tickets, and perhaps many people can buy tickets through sponsors' channels. And the remaining neutral tickets sold by UEFA are only 10,000...

The 10,000 copies are available worldwide, which means that local fans in the UK can buy them, and fans from the rest of the world can buy them as well.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Manchester United fans to wrap up these 10,000 tickets.

Therefore, in the stands, it is unlikely that Manchester United and Barcelona will have far more fans on one side than on the other, and Manchester United will not be able to make the Millennium Stadium their home stadium just because the final venue is in the United Kingdom.

However, there are other ways for United fans to do so, with both sides evenly matched in the stands, but what about around the stadium?

Manchester United fans have decided to surround the Millennium Stadium in red, and they want to breathe the same fate with the team in Wales.

From two days before the game, Manchester to Wales motorway from Manchester to Wales was filled with Manchester United fans' cars.

They held the Manchester United flag out of the car window and waved it in the wind as they raced.

I don't know how many people have been fined for this...

.......

Cardiff City seems to have become Manchester at this point.

The city is full of Mancunes, with their Manchester accents, wearing red jerseys, and you can tell what they're here for.

On the evening of June 2, welcomed by Manchester United fans, Manchester United's red bus slowly drove into the parking lot of a five-star hotel, about five kilometres from the Millennium Stadium.

The team will rest in this hotel for a while, and then go to the Millennium Stadium later to get used to it, in fact, there is nothing to get used to, the weather in Wales is similar to England, and the Millennium Stadium is the Welsh National Stadium, and his turf is of the same variety as the Wembo, and it is said that even the length of the trim is about the same.

At about half past eight in the evening, the whole United team went to the Millennium Stadium for a training session on acclimatization. Carlo Ancelotti was very satisfied with the condition of the turf, and in order to prepare for the Champions League final, Fang Min made the layout of the stadium.

The warm-up session for acclimatization was followed by a pre-match press conference.

Ancelotti and Enrique attended one after another, and the two did not meet.

"Barcelona are a very great team, and to play against such a strong team in the final, you have to give it your all and give it all if you want to win it!"

"I think Messi is a player who has gone ahead of his time, and in another 20 or 30 years, people will give Messi the right evaluation!"

Ancelotti said when facing reporters.

And Enrique actually didn't say anything too nutritious, he had a very high opinion of Li Qingshan. Then he gave high praise to Manchester United. The managers of both teams have been very low-key. When mentioning the opposing team, they all maintained a lot of respect and put their posture quite low.

However, a reporter asked about the situation of the infighting in Barcelona, and Enrique only brought the topic over.

.........

On the eve of the race, the wind was calm.

At this time, everything seemed to be quiet before the game, and all the fans in the world were waiting for the game to start.

Final! It's right in front of you.

At times like these, football is the main story! Whatever happens before the game, it's ultimately up to your feet to figure things out.

Will Barcelona reach the top of the Champions League in Wales and avoid the embarrassment of a season with all four of them empty?

Can Manchester United break the spell and become the first team to defend the Champions League?

It will all be revealed at the Millennium Stadium the following night.

When they woke up the next morning, there was no training and the players just had some body warm-up in the hotel gym.

After a lunch break and light physical training in the afternoon, it's time for dinner.

We didn't eat much for dinner, and after the basic energy supply was ensured, we couldn't eat anymore.

If you eat too much, you can't run!

Most of the players will follow the principle of "eat less, eat more" before the game.

Some people will say, it's time to compete, how can you "eat less and eat more"?

In fact, the team will give the players extra meals at half-time. It's usually a good idea to eat bananas, which are the best fruit for energy. It replenishes quickly, and it is easy to feel full, and it will not eat too much.

However, Manchester United's meals at halftime are still very distinctive, and Manchester United have a chef who is responsible for adding meals to the players at halftime. Dim sum, pasta, etc., delicious and tasty.

Of course, you can't eat too much!

After a light dinner, the players take a break in their respective rooms for the last rest before departure.

Before departure, the instructors will inform them to come downstairs to assemble. With the last two hours left before the race, they will leave for the venue.

Where, the players will warm up for the final preparations for the game!

After the warm-up, the head coach will do a final mobilization meeting in the dressing room to fully mobilize the emotions of the players.

Finally, it's a game!

When the players come out of the locker room, they will be like soldiers on the battlefield!

No one can stop them!
