The referee, Rossetti, is an Italian and he was the one who officiated the opening game of this tournament. The 41-year-old is 1.90 meters tall and has officiated in many important competitions such as the 2006 World Cup, European Championship qualifiers and the European Champions Cup.

Chelsea beat Liverpool 3-2 at home in the Champions League semi-final on 30 April this year, and Rossetti's control at Stamford Bridge won praise from British TV commentators. Rossetti has officiated three matches in the previous matches of this tournament, in addition to Switzerland's narrow defeat to the Czech Republic in the opening game, he also officiated Russia's win over Greece in the group stage, and Turkey's win over Croatia in the knockout round.

The game he officiated was generally satisfactory, but there was still much to improve. But tonight will be the day of the Italian referee's life, as he officiated in a major final for the first time.

Hearing Tang Jue's words, a groan came out of the Italian's heart: God, this guy is still such a headache! This is the first time I've been a referee in a major final, so can't you give me peace of mind?

Tang Jue played two seasons in Serie A, and Rossetti has officiated Milan games on several occasions, and he has seen the brunette dominate the game on several occasions. However, he could also see that the brunette had several clashes with opposing players.

"Shut up!" The Italian couldn't help but turn around and roar at Tang Jue: "If you provoke me again, I'll give you a yellow card!" ”

The French players were stunned, as this was the first time they had seen a referee warn a player before the game. Frings wanted to rush up and kick Tang Jue's ass a few times, but when he heard the referee's warning. He stopped his impulses. The corners of his mouth turned up, and the German back sneered.

Brat! Just wait to die, the referee is already eyeing you!

Tang Jue looked at Rossetti, who was already angry, his face was not embarrassed or annoyed, but full of smiles.

"You don't have to be angry, we're just kidding."

The Italian snorted coldly, turned his head and led the player towards the pitch. Lyman patted Tang Jue on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up...... Surprise appeared in the eyes of the Germans, they did not think of the damn guy at all. How dare you talk to the referee like this.

Henry smiled and shook his head. Ribery looked at the black hair at the front of the line with admiration, and whispered: "Don, it's really different from ordinary people!" ”

This was how the pre-match clash between the two sides ended, and the Germans felt weird psychologically. Tang Jue's sentence "I like to step on people very much!" ”。 It made the French players very psychologically comfortable. Silly X. You're fighting with him......

……

Fans from both sides walked out of the players' tunnel and were greeted by overwhelming cheers!

A gleaming silver trophy came into view. That's the famous Delaunay Cup!

The Delaunay Cup is the name of the trophy of the European Championship, which commemorates the first secretary general of UEFA. Henry the Frenchman? Delaunay. In 1958, the first European Nations Cup qualifiers began. The trophy has a unique shape and was created by Arthur of Paris? Bertrand designed and produced it in 1960. It was engraved in French with the words "European Nations Cup Football Championship" and "Henry? Delaunay Cup".

In 2006, UEFA created a new European Championship trophy specifically for the European Football Championship. UEFA recast the Delaunay Cup because the previous trophy was damaged during the celebrations that followed France's victory at Euro 2000.

Henry? Delaunay, the first secretary general of UEFA, began on 15 June 1954 and died suddenly on 9 November 1955. Back in 1927, Henry? Delaunay on the Austrian Hugo? Mi Su jointly proposed the idea of establishing a European Cup, proposing that the event be held alternately with the World Cup, and that qualifiers be held every two years.

When UEFA was founded in Bern in 1954, he again made this suggestion: "The matches will be played by the football associations of all European countries, and there should not be too many matches in the finals. This tournament does not clash with the World Cup and does not require the exact same players to participate. In the end, the first European Championship was held in 1958, but unfortunately Mr. Delaunay had already passed away.

Delaunay is one of the advocates and promoters of French football and European football. At just 23 years old, he held a key position in the predecessor of the French Football Federation and suggested the creation of Charles? Simon Cup - the predecessor of the French Cup. From 1930 onwards, he also served as a representative of FIFA's International Affairs Department and contributed a lot to perfecting the tournament's system.

The winner of each European Championship will be awarded to Henry? Delaunay Cup, but the trophy itself belongs only to UEFA. The champion team may only have one replica trophy marked "Replica" and no more than four-fifths of the size of the original trophy for commemorative purposes.

UEFA rules that only countries that have won three consecutive European Championship titles, or a total of five titles, can have an original-sized Henry? Delaunay Trophy. So far, no national team has been able to meet these criteria, and the most wins have been won by the German team who have won the title three times. A win for France tonight would tie the Germans for the most titles.

Thuram and Thierry Henry have a burning eye, and it would be a feat for them to become the first players to win the Delaunay Cup twice. Eight years ago, they were on top of Europe.

Ribery and other players who participated in the European Championship final for the first time did not hide their inner desire, like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman. A fine light flashed in Tang Jue's eyes, and he said softly to the Delaunay cup: "You are mine!" ”

If Alice was here, she would definitely think that Tang Jue was talking to her. That's right, Tang Jue's tone of voice was like talking to his girlfriend.

Perhaps the Delaunay cup was too dazzling, and when Barak saw it, his eyes were slightly closed, and the Hercules cup and the big ear cup appeared in his mind...... These trophies were once so close to him, but they were all far away from him again and again.

"Tonight, I will never let you stay away from me!" Barak said to the gleaming silver Delaunay cup. Twelve runners-up for him. That's a shameful record. He won't let the record continue tonight.

ESPN exclaimed: "Players from both sides have entered the pitch and the final is imminent!" ”

Milan TV said: "The VIP table was full of dignitaries, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other dignitaries came to cheer for their teams. FIFA President Seppet, UEFA President Michel Platini and other football heavyweights are all present, and they are coming to witness the new championship! ”

TVE football commentator Antonini exclaimed: "The final is on the horizon and the two best teams are about to decide the final champion. Before the game, the German media slammed Don, mainly because of his phrase 'I'm going to trample Germany under my feet!' ’”

Henrique, a famous commentator on France Télévision? Hilario exclaimed: "Don has scored in all 10 major tournaments he has participated in, which is a god-like record that people look up to. Tonight. Will he be able to continue his record? ”

"If you can. That would be the 11th consecutive tournament with a goal! ”

"Some people say that this is the era of Tang, and he is creating his own immortal feats. Not surprisingly, he will be a strong contender for this year's World Footballer of the Year. If he can win the World Footballer of the Year this year. Then he set a new record - the World Footballer of the Year for three years in a row! ”

"This is the first time that the World Footballer of the Year has been awarded. This is the first time this has happened! ”

German television said: "Tonight is for Balak. It was a monumental night, and if he could win the championship, he would break the curse on his head. The great Ballack said before the game. He'll break the spell tonight and win his first major tournament title! ”

Tang Jue and Ballack became the most mentioned names in the commentators, and the two men were the spiritual leaders of their respective teams, as well as the talking points. The impact that Tang Jue left on people was that he was a player born for the championship. Ballack, on the other hand, is a tragic figure, and as a world-class midfielder, he has never won a major tournament. Twelve runners-up is the result of his many years of career.

Flags fluttered in the stands, and fans on both sides were already in a state of battle. They sang loudly and waved their scarves rhythmically. Fans on both sides think that they are the twelfth twelveth of the team, and since they are the twelfth, then they have to fight with the team.

The big stage has been set up, the actors have been put in place, just waiting for the director's orders, they will put on a big show for fans all over the world.

Dutch TV began to introduce the starters above: "Loew has a formation of 4231, and the goalkeeper is Lehmann from Arsenal; Four defenders: Friedrich, Mertesacker, Metzelde, Lahm; Two midfielders: Hitzersperger, Frijns; Three defenders: Podolski, Ballack, Schweinsteiger; The only striker: Krauser. ”

"It was rumored before the game that the injured Ballack started the game, and Loew wanted the midfielder, who had missed out on the title 12 times, to win his first major title on the pitch himself."

"The French formation hasn't changed since the knockout round, it's still a four-four-two. Goalkeeper: Kupe; Four defenders: Abidal, Thuram, Gala, Sagnol; Four midfielders: Malouda, Tulalang, Makelele, Ribery; Two strikers: Don, Henry. ”

"The French trident continue to start and they will be attacking the team. Before the game, it was suggested that Germany should cut off the connection between Ribery and Don and block the golden passage on the left side of France, and it was not known whether Domenech would adjust the direction of attack. That's one of the highlights of the game. ”

In the VIP seat, French President Nicolas Sarkozy whispered to Platini beside him: "Can Don bear it?" ”

Platini nodded and said, "He has no problem." ”

Sarkozy thought for a moment and asked: "Is there a problem with the referee?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, I mean ......"

Platini frowned and whispered: "What I can give France is a fair and just playing environment. ”

At eight o'clock, with the referee's whistle, the final began!

Henrique, a famous commentator on France Télévision? Hilario shouted: "The Euro 08 final is on!" Don's first European Cup final has begun! ”

German television exclaimed: "Balak's second Grand Final has begun!" He's going into the game tonight with an injury to win his first trophy! (To be continued......)
