Chapter 746: Ace vs. Ace

When the referee held the ball for the Champions League final and led the players of both sides out of the tunnel with the two assistant coaches, the theme song of the Champions League sounded on the live radio.

The lyrics of this religiously hymned theme song, based on the style of Handel, a master of the Baroque era, are simply the repeated chanting of "they are champions" and "they are the best team" in UEFA's three official languages: English, French and German.

It's a musical glory that you hear every time you play in the Champions League.

I've been numb to listening to it for a long time, and I've treated it purely as background music.

But today, when he heard this song, he suddenly felt an agitation and felt his scalp tingle.

Because he suddenly remembered what Godot had said to him.

“…… In Europe, there is the European Cup, which is the crowning honour of European football, the title that all teams dream of, and if they can win it, it is also an opportunity for the players to make a name for themselves. ”

The scene where Godot said this appeared in front of Glory's eyes, and Godot, who was driving, explained to Glory.

"European football has the rules of European football, and the results you get in Brazil can only be used as a reference, and most people there don't know you, and in their eyes, it's the same as when you first came to Brazil. In order for European football to recognise you and accept you, you need to do well in European football, such as...... Win the European Champions Cup. ”

It's been four seasons since I arrived in Europe and I finally have the chance to be in the Champions League final.

Godot, I'm definitely going to win this time!

Melodious and majestic singing echoed over the Olympic Stadium: "...... They are the best team! The best team...... The most important events...... A big party, a great sporting event...... They are the best, they are the best! They are champions! Champions, the best team! Great team ......"

"Rong, you have to work hard to become a world-famous star!"

Glory turned to find Godot smiling at him next to him.

So he laughed too.

That's of course, Godot! I'm going to make a lot of money!

He withdrew his gaze, did not squint, looked at the somewhat whitish turf illuminated by the light, looked at the full stands opposite, and walked down firmly.

The only communication between Glory and Kaka before the game came when the players on both sides shook hands.

Prior to this, the two of them had not made any eye contact, although there were multiple cameras specifically aimed at the two of them, trying to capture some interesting footage.

But they were disappointed, from the beginning of the players' tunnel to the entrance ceremony, Glory did not look at Kaka, and so did Kaka.

Before the game, the media hyped the duel between these two people and various grievances and hatreds, and everyone was looking forward to the two of them being able to interact frequently in the game or something, otherwise how could it be hyped?

I didn't think that Glory and Kaka didn't cooperate at all.

Until the time of the handshake.

Glory who wore the away team walked up to Kaka, and then stretched out his hand: "I'll beat you, Kaka." ”

Kaka shook it lightly and hummed at the same time, "Are you only going to say that?" ”

"I'll have more, would you like to try it?" Glory returned the favor and then moved on to the next AC Milan player, Gattuso.

Gattuso looked at the glory and said with a straight face, "I want it." ”

Glory ignored him.

※※※

This is not the first time Wing has played against AC Milan, having played AC Milan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League two seasons ago when he was still playing for Werder Bremen. At that time, he was almost able to drag the game into extra time...... Eventually, his shot slid wide. Although Werder Bremen was eliminated by AC Milan in that game, Rong's personal performance was outstanding. Now that he has a stronger team, with the support of strong teammates, what can he show in this game? ”

"Kaka and Rong didn't make eye contact before the game, but what they said during the handshake was too noisy for us to hear...... But that's okay, we can ask the lip interpretation experts to analyze what they talked about......"

Gattuso seems to have joined their discussion, but Glory doesn't respond to him......"

"It's not a rumor or a secret that Kaka and Glory don't get along. Looking at the expressions of the two people, although they were talking about something, the expressions on their faces were not relaxed, and there was no smile at all. It seems that the relationship between the two is really not very good......"

……

The commentators have focused on Glory and Kaka.

The two of them are the focal points of this game.

※※※

Then it's all about the pre-game procedures that a game should have. Kahn shook hands with AC Milan captain Maldini, swapped flags and guessed sides.

Bayern Munich won the right to pick the edge in the guess, but the kick-off was taken by AC Milan.

The players then took their positions and waited for the game to begin.

The Chinese media, especially the photographers, were a little excited, and they pointed their cameras at Rongguang, and when the referee blew the whistle, they pressed the shutter to record a scene that would go down in the history of Chinese football - the first Chinese player to appear in the final of the Champions League!

In front of the TV, countless Chinese viewers also held such a mood, and many people were very excited, after all, this is the most glorious moment in the history of Chinese football. Of course, in the history of football in New China, there are really no glorious achievements. There was no champion in the continental competition, and the best result was the runner-up in the two Asian Cups.

In comparison, the glory is higher than that of Chinese football.

But Glory didn't think that way at all.

He was very calm in his heart, and he didn't think about the significance of being the first Chinese player to reach the Champions League final, nor did he think about whether his step was a big step for Chinese football......

He has only one thought on his mind now, and that is to beat Kaka and win the Champions League!

※※※

When the referee's whistle blew, the flashing lights in the stands were like a bright and vast galaxy.

The 2006-2007 Champions League final has officially begun!

Inzaghi knocked the ball out of the way, and Kaka followed up and passed it back.

Then AC Milan passed back layer by layer, and the fight was also decent, and there was nothing surprising. It can be seen from the beginning that Ancelotti's game is mainly about stability.

Try not to concede a goal at the beginning, after all, Bayern Munich have a hot form scorer like Glory, and like AC Milan, they are very good at counter-attacking defense.

In such an important game, whoever concedes the ball first means who enters the passive first.

So the finals are generally not too good-looking.

The commentators will either start to introduce the starting line-ups of both sides, or they will analyze the thoughts of AC Milan.

But it was at this time that the football was passed to Kaka's feet.

As soon as Kaka got the ball, the stands remembered a cheer from AC Milan, and this cheer was mostly female.

Rongguang couldn't help but pout when he heard this.

Sissies are popular with women!

Those who like me are pure masters!

Kaka didn't crave possession after getting the ball, he quickly handed the ball to Andrea Pirlo and ran off the ball himself.

Just as he ran to a position where he was temporarily unmarked, Pirlo sent the ball over.

Kaka received the ball in a comfortable position in a comfortable position.

Then he didn't hesitate, picked up his right leg, and shot directly from a distance!

He shot so suddenly that goalkeeper Kahn was stunned for a moment, but fortunately his reaction was fast enough, and he took off and rubbed the football with his fingertips, just like that, the football was slightly off the line and flew out of the bottom line!

"Oh!!" There was a burst of exclamations from the stands.

The commentators were stunned, and those who were still reporting the starting lists of both sides were also interrupted for a few seconds before reacting: "This ball...... Kaka's ball shot so suddenly! ”

"Kaka suddenly shoots from distance! The quality is very, very high! Slow-motion shows that Kahn's fingertips are still rubbing against the football, if not at all...... Maybe it's in! ”

"It's only been two minutes before the game starts, and Kaka has given Bayern Munich a dismount!"

"Judging from Kaka's long-range shot, he should be in good shape in this game!"

……

The commentators praised Kaka's watch.

Kaka himself felt a little sorry for the goal, and he held his head in his hands. Glory in the midfield looked back at him and snorted.

Another person in the limelight!

The screams of the women in the stands were louder, which made him very uncomfortable to listen to.

※※※

Although there are some regrets, Kaka is also very satisfied with his watch, although this long-range shot did not score, but if he continues to play in this state, it is only a matter of time before he scores!

When he turned around, he saw the glorious eyes, and he did not avoid it, but met his gaze.

Even...... There is also some provocative taste in it: This is my watch xiàn, you also take out your watch xiàn!

Sure enough, after seeing Kaka's eyes, Glory's gaze became sharp.

Seeing that his provocation had played a role, Kaka looked away.

※※※

Three minutes later, the football fell to glory at the hands of Bayern Munich when they attacked.

Glory, who retreated to the forward position, made a feint to break through at that time, and Gattuso, who was blocking in front of him, took a step back, and the space of this step allowed Glory to find the space to get up, he exerted his strength on the spot, and also picked up his right leg and pumped it the football. With the help of his own writhing waist and abdomen, he pumped the football towards the goal.

"Honor-!!"

Marcel Leif shouted.

AC Milan goalkeeper Dida also flew into the air, but he didn't touch the football.

Football is under the worried gaze of many AC Milan fans...... Sliding the door out!

"It's a shame I didn't get in!"

"It's the same high-quality shot, and after Kaka's long-range shot, Rong immediately changed colors!"

"It's a lot of fun! It seems that everyone's analysis before the game is right, this game is actually a duel between Rong and Kaka! ”

The fans of Bayern Munich also cheered: "You have Kaka, we are proud!" We are honored!! ”

Ace against ace, Bayern Munich fans are not afraid at all, they have absolute confidence in glory!
