Chapter 679 The Finale Begins
In the luxurious Bernabeu home team dressing room, Manchester United players are wearing knee pads and shin pads to make final preparations before going on the field.
Ferguson stared at his disciples, but what came to mind was what he said to Mourinho last season: "I have two of something and you only have one, and I'm not talking about the thing in your crotch." stuff.
Ferguson was talking about the Champions League title.
This is what the legendary British coach Clough once said to Ferguson. At that time, Ferguson had not yet won his second Champions League championship, and there was no way to refute being ridiculed by Clough.
Although Mourinho has an absolute advantage over Ferguson's record, Mourinho cannot argue with Ferguson's words. Ferguson was relieved at that time, but if Manchester United loses this game, Ferguson believes that he is arrogant. Mourinho will definitely throw this sentence in his face.
With time running out, Ferguson decided to say a few more words.
"Our opponent is a terrifying army because his coach is Mourinho! They have defeated Chelsea and Barcelona! Are you scared?" Ferguson looked around his disciples. The players' faces were full of excitement and excitement. Excited, a little nervous, but not afraid at all, "I don't see you scared, because you know we are equally strong. Last season we defeated Mourinho and his army, and everyone can start in Inter Milan." The players are all very strong, but we cannot allocate all our energy equally to everyone. Everyone must know who is the one who controls the rhythm of Inter Milan? Who is directing Inter Milan? You must firmly control the opponent's most The influential person is Gao Xiaodong! I believe you must be deeply impressed by him. He eliminated us once last time. This time we want revenge! A great player cannot be defeated twice by the same enemy! Did you hear that? ?”
"I heard it! BOSS!"
"Can it be done?"
"No problem! BOSS."
Hearing the resounding answers from his disciples and seeing the unconvinced look on Rooney's face, Ferguson felt relieved. Hearing that the Spanish referee Uentiano had already started blowing the whistle to assemble, Ferguson waved to the players, "Let's go !Fighting for Manchester United’s fourth Champions League!”
Manchester United's players filed out of the locker room, just as Inter Milan's players also walked out. The players from both sides looked at each other, and sparks immediately appeared in their eyes. Everyone just stared at each other, and no one was willing to back down.
Referee Uentiano is used to this kind of situation. He stood calmly between the players of the two teams and separated them. "Are everyone here? If so, let's go."
As soon as Untiano interrupted, the tense atmosphere disappeared. Players from both sides held the hand of the ball boy and followed Untiano towards the court.
Ferguson and Mourinho walked behind the team. They looked at each other and smiled. Ferguson said: "Jose, congratulations. This is really an unexpected reunion."
Mourinho smiled and said: "No, this is an expected meeting."
Ferguson smiled: "I would like to know how much better Inter Milan is compared to last year."
Mourinho said tit for tat: "Just enough to beat Barcelona and Chelsea."
Ferguson smiled: "Although we also won the championship last season by defeating Barcelona and Chelsea, I don't believe you are as lucky as us."
Mourinho said calmly: "History always has amazing similarities."
Ferguson laughed: "Then let's wait and see."
Although the game has not started yet, the Bernabeu Stadium is not lonely. The big screens in the stands are showing exciting scenes of Inter Milan and Manchester United's promotion. Reporters ran to the stands to interview the fans, and the on-site commentators were introducing the off-field tidbits.
The die-hard fans of both sides had already begun to "fight" in advance. At first, fans from both sides were chanting for their stars. Later, Manchester United fans sang the Manchester United team song, and Inter Milan fans also sang the Inter Milan team song. Fans from both sides were singing. Howling desperately, trying to overwhelm the opponent.
When the Inter Milan and Manchester United players came out of the mixed tunnel, the singing in the stands immediately stopped, and almost all the fans in the stadium began to cheer and applaud. The sound was earth-shattering, even louder than the previous singing battle between the fans of both sides.
The reporters immediately turned their cameras to the players on the field, and the flashlights kept flashing, especially the focus players like Rooney and Gao Xiaodong. I don’t know how many films were murdered.
The on-site commentator immediately became excited when he saw the players coming out, "Inter Milan's players came out! Manchester United's players came out. Today's protagonists have all appeared. Now let's determine the starting lineups of both sides."
"Inter Milan starting line-up: goalkeeper 12-Cesar; back four 13-Maicon, 6-Lucio, 25-Samuel, 4-Zanetti; double midfielder: No. 5 Stankovic, 19 - Cambiasso/three attacking midfielders: 9-Eto'o, 10-Gao Xiaodong, 27-Pandev; lone forward/22-Milito. This is a 4231 formation, Motta was suspended and Stankovic replaced him In Motta's position, Motta has finer skills and stronger ball-playing ability. However, although Stankovic is not as good as Motta, he also has a certain passing ability. In addition, he also has a long shot. Sneijder has He recovered from his injury, but out of caution, Mourinho still put him on the bench, and his replacement was Pandev. Pandev and Sneijder have different characteristics, but there is not much difference in ability between them. Other starting positions There is no suspense.”
"Manchester United's starting lineup: goalkeeper 1-Van der Sar; four defenders: 2-Gary Neville, 5-Ferdinand, 15-Vidic, 3-Evra; double midfielders: 16-Carrick, 24-Evra Letcher, three forwards: 13-Park Ji-sung, 25-Valencia, 18-Scholes; single forward 10-Rooney. This is also a 4231 formation. Facing Mourinho, a master of counterattacks, Ferguson's The formation was more cautious, with only Rooney playing as a forward. Fletcher and Carrick formed a double midfielder in the midfield. Park Ji-sung on the wing was unable to run away. Valencia was young and physical, and Scholes also had good defense. Ability, even forward Rooney does not hesitate to use physical strength, and is often called a defensive forward. This starting lineup ensures Manchester United's ability to return to defense. It is very difficult for Inter Milan to break Manchester United's goal through counterattacks. The only variable is captain Gary. Neville is too old and I don’t know if he can stop the impact of Inter Milan.”
"On offense, Park Ji-sung's current state is difficult to provide much help. Valencia cannot completely fill the firepower gap after Ronaldo left, but his speed and breakthrough are good, but his shooting skills are much worse. Rooney alone can think It’s even harder to break through Inter Milan’s door.”
"Both teams attach great importance to defense. It is probably not easy for anyone to break through the opponent's goal. In such a game, the coaches of both sides know the basics. It is normal to be cautious. Maybe a penalty kick is possible in the end..."
When the commentator introduced the starting lineups of the two teams, the players from both sides had already taken a group photo, and the captains of both sides, Zanetti and Gary Neville, came over to exchange team flags and emblems.
When Zanetti walked over, a banner with the number 700 was displayed in the stands, and the Inter fans stood up and applauded because this was the Inter Milan captain's 700th game on behalf of the Nerazzurri.
Zanetti has always been a model of continuous appearances. He can play in multiple positions, rarely takes cards, and rarely suffers injuries. Therefore, during the 15 years he played for Inter Milan, Zanetti completed a record of 699 appearances, averaging Over 46 games per season!
The appearance record holder of the Nerazzurri is Bergomi. During the 19 years that the old captain played for Inter Milan from 1980 to 1999, he set a record of 758 appearances. For Zanetti, who still has three years of contract, breaking this record It's almost inevitable.
After the captains of both sides picked sides, they each returned to their own half. Inter Milan forwards Milito and Eto'o, who had the right to kick-off, came to the center circle to prepare for the kick-off.
Two minutes later, with fans around the world watching, Spanish referee Uentiano blew the whistle, and the finale of the 2009-2010 European League - the Champions League final kicked off.
