Chapter 203 The final begins

The atmosphere is a little different from Manchester United, and in the dressing room of Bayern Munich, the atmosphere is a little more subtle.

Pep Guardiola will no longer be the head coach of Bayern Munich next season, because he not only has a bad relationship with the media and fans in Germany, but also has many players who are dissatisfied with Guardiola within Bayern's players.

For example, Schweinsteiger, who was abandoned by Pep Guardiola. Schweinsteiger didn't get too many chances under Pep Guardiola, and the former Bayern Munich midfielder was very disappointed.

And in such a crucial game, Schweinsteiger could only sit on the bench.

Before the start of this season, Schweinsteiger was expected to join Manchester United, and in fact the piglets are quite expecting it. But in the end, his benefactor Van Gaal was hastily removed from Manchester United, and the eventual introduction of Schweinsteiger was not a problem.

Another Bayern big man, Muller, and Pep Guardiola are not very good. Muller was substituted six times in the Champions League, 13 in the league and early in the semi-final against Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup. Guardiola doesn't like Muller's style of play. The same can be said for this game, and if it weren't for Arjen Robben and Thiago both fresh out of injury, Muller would have been on the bench in the Champions League final.

Pep Guardiola didn't care, standing in the dressing room and looking around at his players.

"It's a shame we won't be able to work together next season. But I'm also lucky because I could have a European championship trophy with me before I leave. ”

Guardiola's tone was flat, not as excited as Carlo Ancelotti on the other side.

'No matter what we've been through this season, we've been to the finals together and some people don't like my style, but my football has brought this team to where it is.

"Anyway, it's a chance, a chance to win the European Championship!!"

"Faced with such an opportunity, does anyone want to give up? Tell me, someone would think, ah, wouldn't it be nice to finish second? ”

"Tell me !!"

Pep Guardiola's tone became stern, his voice echoing through the empty dressing room.

Schweinsteiger didn't speak, his face was expressionless.

Muller, who usually speaks, also lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Götze, who still couldn't start in this game, dodged his eyes.

Captain Ram stood up.

'The manager was right, it's an opportunity and we can't let it slip away from us anyway!!! Thank God for putting this opportunity in front of us, we need to unite! ”

Xavi Alonso, Pep Guardiola's descendant, also stood up at this time: "That's right, this is a European champion, I don't want to look back on regrets later!! ”

"To hell with the runner-up, that's the name of the biggest loser, we just want the champion!!" Robben also stood up and waved his fists.

Robben also has a high status in the Bayern dressing room, although he has just returned from injury and did not make the starting line-up, but at this time Robben also stood up to express his support for Guardiola.

Immediately afterwards, Lewandowski, Neuer, Thiago, Boateng, Martinez and other main players of Bayern stood up one after another, and under their leadership, the atmosphere in Bayern Munich's dressing room finally changed.

"For the !!! of the Champion"

The players roared in unison.

............

While the players on both sides were standing in the tunnel waiting to play, there was no conversation between the players, they were silent and serious, and the only allowed photojournalists in the tunnel were the click of the shutter and the flashing of flashing lights.

This is the Champions League final, and the players' expressions will not be relaxed.

And outside in the stands, the battle between fans on both sides has already begun.

Fans from both teams each occupy a stand behind the goal, which is an area for die-hard fans.

In the stands at Manchester United, fans put together a huge backdrop of red and white paper.

On a red background, there are large white letters - 1999

It was a fantastic season for United to win the treble, and they beat the opponents in the final, Bayern Munich.

Then a giant TIFO slowly rose from the stands, it was a huge Manchester United team emblem pattern, behind the team emblem, is the large and small silhouettes of Manchester United players this season, and the most conspicuous in the middle is undoubtedly the back of Li Qingshan wearing the No. 9 jersey.

All the cameras and cameras were locked on to the scene, and it was a way for United fans to show their support for the players.

The Bayern Munich fans on the other side were not far behind, and they also raised a huge tifo with a pattern of five big-eared cups lined up, and below each pattern, a set of numbers.

1973-1974

1974-1975

1975-1976

2000-2001

2012-2013

This is the season in which Bayern Munich have won the Champions League for the fifth time, and the Bayern players have listed them all.

After all eyes were drawn to this scene, the tifo continued to rise slowly, and an even bigger picture of the Champions League trophy appeared in people's eyes.

And below the trophy there is also a set of numbers.

2015-2016

This means that Bayern will win the Champions League this season! Bayern fans have expressed their support for the team in this way!!

"Before the game even started, the battle between the fans of both sides had already begun!!"

Duan Xuan, who was commenting on the scene, had already begun to access the live broadcast signal of CCTV, he adjusted his headphones and adjusted a comfortable seat position, ready for such a big battle.

"This is the first time the two sides have met in the UEFA Champions League final and I am sure everyone knows very well what happened in that game the last time they met in the Champions League final, it was almost one of the greatest miracles in the history of the European Cup!! Manchester United scored twice in stoppage time to beat Bayern Munich to lift the Champions League trophy!! ”

"In terms of overall titles, Bayern Munich have won five times and Manchester United three times. It's a clash between two European superpowers, it's a showdown between two great teams!! Such a final will attract the attention of countless fans!! ”

Duan Xuan looked suffocated, and he talked for a long time in one breath, so that the guest Li Yidi on the side had no room to interject.

After Duan Xuan finished speaking, Li said flatly: "We are more looking forward to Li Qingshan being able to play well in this game, if you are optimistic, Li Qingshan will become the first Asian player to win the FIFA Golden Ball Award!! ”

"That's right!!" Speaking of this, Duan Xuan's eyebrows also fluttered, quite excited.

........

The majestic Champions League theme song was played at the Meazza Stadium, and under the leadership of the referee team, the players from both sides stepped onto the pitch.

All of a sudden, the scene was thunderous, almost overpowering the music of the loudspeakers!!

"Audience friends!! Audience friends!! Players from both sides came on under the leadership of the referee team!! The 2015-2016 UEFA Champions League final will begin at the Meazza Stadium, where the showdown between Manchester United and Bayern Munich will begin!!! ”

Duan Xuan pressed the headset to his mouth with his hand and said excitedly.

He had to speak very loudly to avoid his voice being drowned out by the cheers of the audience.

He is commenting on the spot, which is different from the commentary in the rear, in the studio in the rear, the sound from the scene has to go through some processing, so that the sound on the scene will not affect the play of the commentator as much as possible, so when the rear commentary, the narrator does not have to be hoarse.

But at the scene, the narrator had to shout hoarsely as he does now. But in the atmosphere of the scene, their spirits were also quite high.

The two managers showed up on the pitch.

Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola. This is almost two generations of coaches, compared to Guardiola, Ancelotti has a richer coaching resume, but in terms of honors, it did not take long for the young Guardiola to catch up with the senior in front of him.

Pep Guardiola's Barcelona is arguably the most dominant team in recent years.

The two sides did not exchange many pleasantries, and after shaking hands with each other, they each sat down in their seats.

The TV broadcast gave a lot of close-ups of the players, and Li Qingshan was naturally indispensable.

Speaking of the experience of the Champions League final, Li Qingshan has a lot at all.

Counting this season, Li Qingshan has participated in the Champions League finals for three consecutive seasons, and such a final experience is not rich.

He is no longer the rough brother who stepped on the stage when he first stepped on the stage. Although the final still made him excited, Li Qingshan's temperament at this time was more calm, and his face was expressionless, making it impossible to see what he thought.

When entering, Li Qingshan looked at the sky.

Maybe there is a real possibility of rain!

There is no doubt that the weather will have an impact on the game, and if the game is played in a torrential rain, Li Qingshan will undoubtedly have more room to play.

But Manchester United can't put their hopes in the weather, and even if it doesn't rain, they won't be afraid of their opponents.

Li Qingshan was the last to step onto the pitch at the end of the United queue, stepping onto the turf of the Meazza Stadium.

"Just the right amount of water!"

Li Qingshan thought psychologically.

After watering the pitch before the game, the turf is filled with moisture so that the ball can roll smoothly and quickly, which is conducive to improving the pace of the game, increasing the spectacle and reducing the possibility of player injury.

But if you water too much, it will also increase mistakes, which in turn will affect the normal game.

Today, the amount of water on the Meazza Stadium is just right, so that on the soft and moderate turf, the football will not run too fast because the field is too dry, and it will not bounce too high after bounce on the ground, and at the same time, it will not affect the speed of the football because it is too wet and soft.

UEFA is very strict about the requirements for the playing field, and the stadium will naturally be strictly enforced.

This is also a benefit of playing in neutral balls.

If it is a game at Old Trafford, in order to deal with a team like Bayern Munich, which uses passing as the main means, the stadium side will often overwater it, making it more difficult to pass on the football turf.

Similarly, if it is in the Allianz Arena, the stadium will definitely have the advantages of Bayern Munich for the layout of the stadium. That's part of the home field advantage.

Li Qingshan thought as he lined up, and then shook hands with the Bayern players.

Then the captains of the two sides exchanged team flags and completed the edge picking ceremony.

After all the procedures were completed, the players from both sides came to their respective halves and waited for the game to begin.

And taking advantage of this time, the commentators of various countries are busy broadcasting the rosters of the two teams in this game.

Both teams fielded the best teams they could, and no one was trying to stay on top!

On the Manchester United side, goalkeeper De Gea, on the back line, the two central defenders are the partners of Hummels and Rojo, left fullback Sandro, right fullback Valencia, and also the captain on the field, three backs Herrera, Fellaini, Kramer, two forwards left Di Maria, right Mata, at the top is Li Qingshan, the formation is still the main 4321 Christmas tree used by Manchester United this season!

On the side of Bayern Munich, Guardiola discharged a 4231 formation, the goalkeeper is naturally Neuer, the right fullback is Lahm, and he is also the captain on the field, the left fullback Alaba is the center-back combination, and the center-back combination is Martinez and Boateng. The two midfielders Vidal and Xavi Alonso are paired, the three in the front line are Douglas Costa, Muller, Ribery, and at the forefront is the Polish striker Lewandowski!!

The players from both sides stood in their respective positions, with Lewandowski standing in the centre circle, waiting for the kick-off whistle.

Valencia won the right to pick the edge at the ceremony, he chose the side of the goal where his fans gathered, and Bayern Munich naturally won the kick-off, attacking from left to right, with Bayern Munich's die-hard fans behind them, and the direction of their attack was the side of the stand where Manchester United fans gathered.

On the televised footage, the camera first locked on several key players from both sides.

Li Qingshan!

Lewandowski!

De Gea!

Neuer!

Hummels!

Boateng!

Di Maria!

Ribery!

Mata!

Muller!

The switching of this group of shots tells the audience that this is definitely a close and competitive game!!

It's a showdown between the two leagues' respective overlords!

The winner of this race will be crowned the Triple Crown! Win all the major trophies of the season!

This is an honor that only the strongest team can get!!

Eventually, the anchor shot at the top of the pitch gives the pitch a top-down view, facing the team's centre circle.

Referee Jonas Eriksen from Sweden put the whistle in his mouth.

He was checking his watches with his assistants.

After both linesmen and the fourth referee signaled to each other that they were ready, Jonas Eriksen began the countdown.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle and the game officially began!!
