The 40 minutes of warm-up time before the start of the game passed quickly, and the stands at the Maracanã Stadium were gradually filled with fans, while the players who had finished the warm-up returned to their dressing rooms to wait for the final deployment of their coaches before the game, and prepare for the next final!

With the departure of the players, the Maracanã Stadium looked much empty, but the fans were not bored, they were also rehearsing slogans and singing in advance as they waited for the game to start.

As the largest stadium in the world, the Maracanã has been renovated again and again after the precipitation of history, and in consideration of safety and other factors, the stadium's unseated stands have finally become history, and the number of seats with seats is also limited to 100,000, the specific number is 95,000.

Only 90,000 tickets were sold for the Confederations Cup final, with 5,000 seats being used as a buffer to prevent unnecessary brawls between fans on both sides due to sudden incidents that occurred when the game entered a stalemate......

According to a set of data released by the Brazilian Football Federation after the tickets were sold out, Chinese fans who bought tickets accounted for half of the tickets sold, which means that there were at least 50,000 Chinese fans watching the finals on site, deducting 20,000 to 30,000 Brazilian fans, and only 20,000 Spanish fans came to the scene.

Therefore, the momentum of the Chinese fans is to completely suppress the Spanish fans, and some professionals in the press and comment seats have begun to ridicule that a large population base is an advantage!

However, this momentum did not last long, as the organizers prepared some theatrical performances for the Confederations Cup final to cheer up the final.

Of course, the main attraction was the announcement by the live DJ that they would come to the Maracanã to watch the Confederations Cup final.

Among them, Chinese President Xi Jingping and his wife Peng Liyuan appeared in the camera and the cheers erupted the most, and the reason is very simple, that is, the Chinese fans who came to the Maracanã Stadium had an absolute advantage.

In the away dressing room at the Maracanã Stadium, the Spanish players were not as emotional as they used to be, but had some worries about the upcoming matches, and almost all of the players in the Spanish national team were from La Liga.

So they know a couple of players in the Chinese squad very well, with Arlo being the world's number one and club team-mates David Silva, Jordi Alba and Cesar Azpilicueta knowing how terrifying he can be.

In addition, Real Madrid, Barcelona stars Casillas, Ramos Iniesta, Xavi, and Pique are all very impressed, and they do not have much confidence in their next games, because Ailo is getting better and better with the deepening of the Confederations Cup.

Everybody knows...... Iroh who is out of shape is inexplicable!

And the other players of the Chinese team should not be underestimated, Gao Lin, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, Wu Xi......

What a headache for the final opponent.

Bosque's eyes were fierce and well-informed, and he knew what was going on with the players after a glance at them, so he clapped his hands in a rare way to pull the players back to reality from their thoughts.

After all the players' attention was invested, Bosque said slowly: "I know what is going on in everyone's minds, but I want you to know what you are, you are European champions, world champions!" Whereas...... The Chinese team is just the Asian champion! ”

As Bosque spoke, the Spanish players slowly came to their senses.

Yes, we are European champions, world champions, and the Chinese team is only the Asian champion!

How do Asian champions compare to European champions and world champions?

Bosque's words were very useful to the Spanish star, and the players who had been frowning a little before were relaxed and full of confidence in the final ahead.

So Bosque struck while the iron was hot, continued to cheer up the players, and raised the players' fighting spirit to a peak state.

At the same time, Pep Guardiola also encouraged the confidence of the players in the dressing room, in his cognition, there is no problem with the skills of Chinese players, but some Chinese players are not very confident in the game.

Especially the young central defender Shi Ke and the central midfielder Huang Bowen, who represented the Chinese team in an international competition for the first time.

Players like Ailuo, Gao Lin, Hao Junmin, and Feng Xiaoting are full of confidence, so Guardiola also said something about the confidence of these old players, and what he wants to express means that even if the past few Confederations Cup games are relatively easy, the final is the final, and Spain is the European champion and world champion in the past, which should not be underestimated.

In fact, the Chinese players were called up by the captain Ailuo before the game, to put themselves in a lower posture, in world football, although the Chinese team is rising very fast, showing very strong strength, but after all, it has no experience in the finals of the world competition, and it is very likely that the game will be too excited and lead to non-combat attrition......

Guardiola then re-admonished his starters to deepen their tactical impression.

Spain and the current Chinese team are both taking the technical route, and the style of play is very similar, will likely appear in the midfield to snatch the initiative of the game, requiring players must make full use of the width of the court, do not stick to the ball too much, otherwise the ball will be lost quickly.

Losing possession will undoubtedly lead to a loss of initiative, and the loss of initiative will cause a chain reaction, which will have to expend more energy to regain possession.

At the same time, Guardiola also asked Iello to return to midfield more often to assist his teammates in organising the attack, and asked the two wings to press forward boldly to assist when necessary to ease the team's attacking pressure......

About 10 minutes before the start of the game, two assistant referees knocked on the doors of the dressing rooms of each side of the final, reminding them that they could make their way to the players' tunnel and wait for their entry.

Spain has won the European Championship and the World Cup, but the Confederations Cup has not been won, so many players in the Spanish team are very concerned about this championship......

They want to be talked about years from now - that Spain is awesome! All the championships have been won!!

And the idea of the Chinese team is much simpler, enter the final...... Is it for the runner-up?

In addition, the on-field strength of the Chinese team does not seem to be worse than Spain, and in terms of offensive ability, it is stronger than Spain, but it is inferior to the overall kneading, after all, this Spanish starting lineup has appeared in dozens of games in international competitions, and they have a very tacit understanding with each other.

More importantly, Spain...... The finals are very experienced!

At the same time, the live director also cut the camera into the players' tunnel, and those who watched the live TV broadcast could see the starters of both sides in the final.

And they also got a message that the final is coming......
