Chapter 540: The Decisive Battle of Rome (2)
Before the opening ceremony, Han Sen stood in the middle of the Olympic Stadium in Rome, warmed up with his teammates, and kept looking around the stadium, as if trying to find his lover and relatives and friends in the chaos of 60,000 people, while observing another famous European stadium, all of which was recorded by the camera at the scene.
The Stadio Olimpico in Rome is the home of both Roma and Lazio clubs, and as a world competition, it hosted the 1960 Olympic Games and the 1987 World Championships in Athletics, as well as the 1990 World Cup final, in addition to three European Championship finals. Liverpool were European champions here twice, in 1977 and 1984, while Juventus won the Champions League in 1996. The Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United will be the fourth time that the Stadio Olimpico in Rome has hosted the Champions League final, and the second time since the European Champions Cup was converted to the UEFA Champions League.
"Oh, we saw Han Sen's figure on the footage of the star warm-up roll call replayed on the big screen in the stadium." He Wei said with a smile, "Han Sen was concentrating on the pre-game warm-up training at the time, and we didn't see any emotions from him for the time being. β
Zhang Lu said with a smile: "As a mature football player, it is also my duty to obey the arrangement of the head coach, and besides, Barcelona's youth training policy is also used properly and blamelessly. We can only sigh that Han Sen was not born at the right time, he just missed a football event for the time being, the game is very long, and anything can happen in 90 minutes. β
He Wei said: "Okay, we saw that the substitutes on both sides have entered the field first. The contest is about to start, let's go through an ad and we'll be back soon! β
"Guided by Lee. Where did it go? Gao Hongbo turned to Li Xinran and said, "I thought you couldn't find your way." β
Li Xinran sat down beside Wei Miao and Qi Xin casually: "It's okay, I went out to answer a girlfriend's call." β
Seeing that Gao Hongbo continued to watch the field after asking, Qi Xin whispered to Li Xinran in the back: "You said that we came with the national team this time, and we didn't say a word to Han Sen, will this kid be unhappy!" β
Without waiting for Li Xinran to speak, Wei Miao cut on the side: "Now this kid is extremely unhappy." And then a whole bunch of us jumped out and laughed and said, hey, we're in the national team. Come and see you lively, guess which one he chooses to hit the wall or jump into the river? β
Li Xinran coughed and whispered: "They are all international players, pay attention to the impact!" This time, Coach Gao is also giving you a chance to learn more from Han Sen's low-key for the sake of you being my disciples. Focus on playing Germany. β
"Alright. Welcome back after the ad and let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides. He Wei said, "Barcelona drew the home team today and can play in the traditional red and blue uniforms, while Manchester United can only wear the away white jerseys." Barcelona today is the No. 1 ValdΓ©s. Right wing-back captain No. 5 Puyol, centre-back No. 3 Pique and No. 24 Yaya? Toure, left wing-back No. 16 Silvinho, midfielder No. 6 Xavi. No. 28 Sergio Busquets, No. 8 Iniesta. Forwards No. 10 Messi, No. 9 Eto'o, No. 14 Henry. Although Han Sen failed to start, he entered the 18-man squad for the game, and if there is no accident, there is still a great possibility of appearing. β
Zhang Lu said: "I hope Han Sen maintains a good attitude, especially don't be annoyed by this so-called Asian No. 1 title, the key is to look at the performance on the field, you see that among the previous Chinese players, Han Sen is not the first person in the Champions League, there are Dong Fangzhuo and Sun Xiang have participated in the Champions League, but now when it comes to Chinese players in the Champions League, Han Sen is the first person who deserves it." β
He Wei said with a smile: "Director Zhang said very well, I hope Han Sen can appreciate our hard work and support, and then take a look at Manchester United's lineup, Ferguson sent a 433 lineup today, which is a team like Barcelona this season, one of the few teams that dare to confront each other in an offensive formation, goalkeeper No. 1 Van der Sar, defender No. 22 O'Shea, No. 5 Ferdinand, No. 15 Vidic, No. 3 Evra, midfielder No. 8 Anderson, No. 16 Carrick, captain No. 11 Ryan Giggs (captain), striker No. 13 Park Ji-sung, No. 7 Cristiano? Ronaldo and No. 10 Rooney. Of course, among today's players, there are also some small tidbits, to share with the audience and friends, on Manchester United's side, Van der Sar became the seventh person to participate in the Champions League final four times, and the third oldest player to play in the Champions League final, second only to Zoff and Maldini, Park Ji-sung is the first South Korean to appear in the Champions Cup final, I think the appearance of the Chinese on the field will also be realized tonight. On the Barcelona side, today is the birthday of Thierry Henry's daughter and Iniesta's 50th Champions League appearance, which is a very meaningful game for these players, which will also become a source of motivation for them to fight. β
Han Sen, who entered the field first, saw that the silver European Championship trophy had been placed in the center of the entrance route when he passed through the players' tunnel, and because he couldn't play for the time being, he naturally couldn't walk past the Big Ear Cup, so he could only take a look at it from a distance, and then for fear that tens of thousands of people on the scene would see his helplessness, he quickly shrank his head and walked to the bench on the other side.
"See Han Sen?" Li Jingjing asked Xu Yun. Her husband said next to her, "The black-haired one, sitting on the bench!" β
"If you can't play such an important game, you must be suffocated." Although Li Jingjing doesn't know much about the ball, seeing today's scene and posture, coupled with the explanations of others, she naturally knows what the situation is today.
Xu Yun looked at Han Sen's vague figure from a distance, and mumbled, Binyan next to him was still bowing his head and taking notes, while Yang Man was inattentively texting, and seemed to be broadcasting remotely again, occasionally raising his head, and quickly glancing at Barcelona's bench once or twice.
The starters of both sides have entered at this time, ready to start the game, Han Sen and Bojan and Pedro are sitting together, and the two people around him are also very likely to play. Assistant coach Vilanova sat on the other side of Hansen and watched as Pep Guardiola went to greet Ferguson.
"Messi, Puyol, ValdΓ©s, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Busquets!" Zhang Lu said with admiration, "A full 7 players from the Barcelona Academy are standing on the final venue of the highest level of competition in Europe at this time, regardless of victory or defeat, the success of the Barcelona club's business philosophy has overwhelmed many clubs that rely only on buying and selling players, which represents a healthy and orderly club management model." β
In fact, Ferguson's Manchester United used to have a 92 golden generation, but now things like David Beckham and Neville Jr. have left Manchester United, and Gary Neville has retired, Scholes is also dying and incompetent to be the main team, only Giggs is still on the field as the captain. In fact, time is the master of everything. He Wei smiled poetically, "Okay, the game begins, let's watch the game." β
Manchester United took the lead in kick-off, only to see that after the kick-off, Park Ji-sung and Ronaldo two wings suddenly soared to the bottom, and then the middle was slightly adjusted, Carrick immediately made a long pass to find two wings, Ronaldo on the left side of a few big strides, grabbed the ball with his chest before Puyol, saw that there was no hope of breakthrough, and immediately pushed to Anderson after inserting it, Yaya Toure, who came over to help defend him, saw that a stride blocked Anderson, knocked Anderson into a stumbling moment, and the referee immediately blew a free kick.
"So fast!" Wei Miao took the lead in the stands and gave a low shout, as he was also a full-back, he could best discover the mystery and essence of watching the world's best wing attacks in the stands of this high-level game.
After two seasons of tempering, Han Sen can also be called the world's top in terms of the speed at which technical actions are processed, not to mention that there are also fast breakthrough masters like Messi, Eto'o and Henry in the team, but when I first saw Ronaldo, his arrogant and unreasonable fast breakthrough, and the momentum that drove the whole team to follow up, still made Han Sen have the same two words in his heart as Wei Miao, but Han Sen did not shout, but unconsciously moved his body beside Bilanova.

Today, I am shocked to hear that the former Barcelona coach Vilanova passed away due to illness, as a character in my novel, I am glad that I did not demonize him in any way, and I would like to send blessings to Bishuai's family and express my condolences to Bishuai. (To be continued......)
