May 28, 2009, Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy.

The weather in Rome today is very good, with clear skies. There are many, many people on the streets of Rome. They are all wearing various jerseys, shuttling back and forth on the streets. They seem to have gathered into a galloping crowd. Like the ocean currents, turbulent and surging...

The Leeds United fans were very excited and excited. They roared loudly and shouted everyone's names to cheer for Leeds United.

Wearing white jerseys, they sang excitedly and cheered for Leeds United.

Of course, there were also many Manchester United fans at the scene, wearing red jerseys. It has to be said that Manchester United is one of the clubs with the most fans in the world, so there are very, very many Manchester United fans who come to Rome, and they are all from all over the world.

To be honest, there are more Manchester United fans than Leeds United fans.

However, the fans from both sides who entered the scene were almost the same!

The two teams received the same share of tickets. Although Leeds United may not have as many fans as Red Devils Manchester United, Leeds United actually has a lot of fans, so it is more than enough to fill the Olympic Stadium.

Now the fans of Leeds United are very excited and excited. Finally, they have appeared on the stage of the UEFA Champions League final again. This time they will take away the UEFA Champions League championship!

At this time, the Rome Olympic Stadium is full of people!

In addition to fans from both sides, there were also many fans of other teams, as well as many celebrities from all walks of life in politics and business, and many celebrities appeared in the stands.

Zhong Cheng’s father Zhong Yunhe appeared in the stands with Isabella George, Zhong Yan and Zhong Yao, as well as Kristina and Julia Oliveira.

They all came to the scene to support Zhong Cheng.

There are also many football coaches who came to the scene, such as Di Matteo, Rodgers, Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho, Ancelotti, Van Gaal and others.

It's more like a festival, a big party.

Before the game started, a specific opening performance was held in the Stadio Olimpico in Rome to warm up for this grand game.

Now the emotions of the fans on both sides have been aroused, and now everyone is waiting for the start of this game.

The fans of both sides were clearly separated in their respective stands. Both armies were wearing white and red jerseys. It could only be seen from the sky. It was very spectacular.

Countless aerial cameras are flying in the sky now, taking pictures of this spectacular scene.

Now the players from both sides have come to the stadium and are warming up before the game. This has attracted cheers from the fans at the scene, and the atmosphere at the scene is extremely warm.

When Zhong Cheng came to the stadium, he also felt the endless heat wave hitting him. The pressure of playing here is very huge.

This game will determine the outcome. Obviously the Red Devils and Manchester United will be very cautious. This should be a dull game.

But there is no way, no one wants to make a mistake at this time. A season's hard work was reflected in this game, and they didn't want to fail.

The Leeds United fans at the scene were all excited, singing the Leeds United team song and cheering for the Leeds United players. They are really very excited, much more excited than the Red Devils and Manchester United people, because they really don't have many opportunities to appear on such occasions, and Leeds United are full of endless expectations for this.

The Red Devils and Manchester United are very crowded, while Leeds United fans are just a bunch of country folk who have never seen the world.

Now the battle between the fans from both sides has begun. They are roaring crazily and criticizing each other, waiting for this game to come.

━━━Separating line━━━

"Hello, viewers and fans! This is BBC Sports, and I am the Mark Lawrenson you are familiar with!" For such an important game, BBC Sports will obviously broadcast it live.

"Hello, audience friends and fans. I am Eddie Gray, the commentator of this game. I am very happy to meet you again!" Eddie Gray said immediately.

"What we bring to you today is the final of this season's UEFA Champions League. Both teams are played against teams from the Premier League. This is a victory for the Premier League. The Premier League's title of No. 1 in the world is confirmed. Long live the Premier League!" Mark Lawrenson immediately said.

"The two teams we are facing today are the Red Devils Manchester United and the white team Leeds United. The Red Devils Manchester United are the champions of this season's Premier League and last season's UEFA Champions League. This is their way to defend their title. If this game If they win the game, they will become the first team to successfully defend the UEFA Champions League since the Champions League was restructured in 1992, and they will make history!" Mark Lawrenson continued.

"Their opponent is Leeds United. If Leeds United wins the championship in this game, it will be the first UEFA Champions League championship in the history of Leeds United Club. This is also for them. A historic breakthrough, Leeds United will also create a new era for them!" Eddie Gray said excitedly.

"Eddie, which team are you optimistic about now? Hey... my question is in vain. You must support Leeds United, right?" Mark Lawrenson said immediately.

"Of course, of course I support Leeds United. I am a Leeds United player and I think Leeds United are very strong. Under the leadership of Mr. Loya, Leeds United has undergone earth-shaking changes. I believe that Leeds United are very strong." United can win this game and win the UEFA Champions League!" Eddie Gray was full of confidence.

Mark Laurence shook his head directly and said: "I don't think so. But Loya is indeed very powerful. He has built Leeds United into a very powerful team. He is now very good." Successful. But what I want to say is that they are still far away from the Champions League championship. I am more optimistic about Manchester United. Leeds United are newcomers to the Champions League final. They are not that experienced. In this game, the Red Devils Manchester United will definitely make history and successfully defend the UEFA Champions League title!"

Eddie Gray was naturally unhappy when he heard this.

Eddie Gray is a die-hard Leeds United fan. He cares about this very much. He believes that Leeds United will definitely win today. Long live Leeds United.

Eddie Gray said: "I don't think there is any way for a newcomer to win the championship. At the beginning of the UEFA Champions League, wasn't the first team that won the championship also a newcomer? Those who won the UEFA Champions League for the first time. Isn’t it the first time for teams? The Red Devils and Manchester United also won the UEFA Champions League for the first time. Why can these teams win the UEFA Champions League for the first time, but not Leeds United?"

Mark Laurentian was slightly stunned and speechless.

Eddie Gray continued: "In my opinion, Leeds United is bound to win this UEFA Champions League. We will definitely win, definitely!"

Mark Lawrenson raised the corners of his mouth slightly and did not continue the question.

If this question continues, how can we explain this game?

At this time, Mark Lawrenson immediately said: "Okay, will Manchester United successfully defend the title, or will Leeds United break the club's history and win the championship for the first time? We will wait and see!"

Eddie Gray also immediately said: "We will wait and see!"

"Okay, now the players from both sides have come out under the leadership of the referee. We will now use this time to introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides today!" Mark Lawrenson said immediately.

"Yes, now we have got the starting list of both sides, let's introduce it to everyone!" Eddie Gray said immediately, staring at the starting list in his hand.

Today’s list of expressions from both sides is as follows:

Team: Manchester United, Head Coach: Alex Ferguson, Formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar

Back four [from left to right]: Pascal Chimbanda, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville

Midfield four [from left to right]: Franck Ribery, Yoann Gourcuff, Michael Carrick and Nani

Double forward: Berbatov and Wayne Rooney

This is the starting lineup of the Red Devils Manchester United team today. Obviously this is still a little different from usual. The veterans of the Red Devils Manchester United team, Giggs and Scholes, did not start. They sat on the bench, waiting for opportunities.

Giggs made this tactical arrangement, while Scholes was pushed to the bench due to the strong rise of Yoan Gourcuff.

There are no changes in the forward and defense lines. This is the current main lineup of the Red Devils Manchester United.

"This is the starting lineup of the Red Devils and Manchester United for this game. Now let's introduce to you the starting lineup of Leeds United today!" Eddie Gray said immediately.

Today, Leeds United’s starting lineup is as follows:

Team: Leeds United, head coach: Zhong Cheng, formation: 4-2-3-1

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Back four [from left to right]: Patrick Evra, Kompany, David Luiz and Lichtsteiner

Double defensive midfielder: Seydou Keita and Yaya Toure

Midfield three [from left to right]: Gareth Bale, Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo

Lone forward: Diego Milito

This is the starting lineup of Leeds United today. Obviously, this is the main lineup that Leeds United can field. This lineup is still quite complete, but Edinson Cavani was seriously injured and missed this opportunity. One game away, or even missing the next season, is a pain for Leeds United.

Due to the reduction of forward personnel, Zhong Cheng changed the formation and added one more person on the defensive midfielder, so that Seydou Keita gained more freedom. In this case, Leeds United's defensive line The barrier is much stronger, and it will become more difficult for Leeds United fans to break through.

This is the starting lineup for Leeds United today.

"Okay, this is the starting list of both sides today. Obviously, both sides have not exceeded everyone's expectations. In this game, Manchester United is going to fight Leeds United to the death. For both sides, there are no opponents. What's the secret? This game is an extremely transparent battle. Now it depends on which side can attack first and penetrate the opponent's weaknesses!" said Mark Lawrenson.

"Okay, the players on both sides seem to be ready, the game is about to start!" Eddie Gray immediately roared loudly.
