Chapter 666 When the Champions League is underway

After the Coppa Italia, the time until the Champions League final was very short. Inter Milan didn’t even have time to celebrate winning the Coppa Italia and had to fly to Manchester. (144 book! Court No., pop-up...

Although this final was held at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester for the first time, it was the sixth final in England in the history of this competition. The previous five finals were all held at Wembley Stadium in London.

The times were 1963, 1968, 1971, 1978 and 1992. The Italian team only defeated the Portuguese Benfica team in the 1963 game to win the championship. In other words, the Italian team had already won the championship.

Haven't won a victory in England for 40 years.

Wednesday's final will be the seventh time Juventus has participated. Juventus has never scored more than 1 goal in each final. They only scored 3 goals in the previous six finals. Inter Milan

He has reached the finals five times and scored 8 goals, averaging 1.6 goals per game.

Since Juventus's historical record is very conservative and two Serie A teams are playing in the final, outside media and betting companies predict that the score of this game will not be a big one.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" commented: Juventus is a representative of rational football. They play balanced and stable football and know how to control it. But they are now missing Nedved and the "answer" they rely on most psychologically recently.

.Juventus, which lacks "answers", will not take risks in the final. Lippi's formation will become more stable and cautious. Di Vayo, who is in poor condition, is unlikely to form a trident with Pippin and Tebal.

Lippi will use 442, using Davis and Tazinardi as double midfielders in the midfield. Of course, he can also choose Tudor, use Camoranesi and Gianluca Zambrotta on the wings, and give up the attacking midfielder.

This formation makes Juventus look more stable and impeccable, but it lacks passion. However, Lippi seems to have no more choices, especially in a game like this.

Due to the success of last season, Inter Milan has lost its aggressiveness this season. Jiang Mu tried his best to adjust, but it can only make Inter Milan dance between passion and conservatism this season. But even so, Inter Milan still won the league and Italy

Cup champion, now facing Inter Milan in the most important final, Jiang Mu's style of play has become very critical.

Undoubtedly, facing a stable master like Juventus, it would be suicide to choose to be conservative, especially as Milan's defensive capabilities have always been problematic. Since Pirlo and Di Bianho are the only midfielder options, Jiang Mu may do more.

A big risk, let Ronaldinho serve as the attacking midfielder, let Vieri, Adriano and Robben act as the forwards, play a 4213 formation, and use the passion of the Brazilians to attack Juventus' flaws. As long as the Brazilians can

If he shows his form, he will be the biggest threat to Juventus.

"Turin Sports News" conducted a comparative analysis of the three lines of the two teams and believed that Inter Milan had a slight advantage in this final.

"Juventus has the upper hand in defense. This season, Juventus' defense is solid. They have only conceded 16 goals in 18 games in the Champions League. Montero, Ferrara, Thuram and Zambrotta, these four are powerful.

There are still a lot of small defensive moves. Inter Milan's defense is certainly not weak. The combination of Cannavaro, Materazzi, Zanetti, and Cordoba rarely gives the opponent a chance, but the defense of Juventus's midfield

The ability is stronger, so the pressure on Juventus's defense is not great. Once Juventus takes the lead in this game, it will strengthen its defense and rely on the defense to maintain the victory, so Inter Milan cannot let Juventus score first.

In the final analysis, the league is about offense, and the cup is about defense. Whoever has a good defensive counterattack will have the initiative. In the past 10 finals, the team with a balanced offense and defense has often been the final winner.

The strengths of both sides in the midfield are similar, and Inter Milan has the advantage. One of the two teams is good at offense and the other is good at defense: Inter Milan has attacking talents like Robben, Ronaldinho, and Pirlo, and they will never play in the midfield.

How many offensive opportunities are given to any opponent. If we talk about Inter Milan's weakness, it is Pirlo's defense in the middle, which will leave room for Juventus' penetration. Although the work efficiency of midfielder Di Bianho is high, he is in the middle

The sweep of the field can reduce the pressure on the defense, but it is difficult for one person's defensive power to compete with Juventus's midfield. For Juventus, the impact of Nedvěd's suspension is fatal. This season Nedvěd

Wade is the key figure in Juventus, and no one can replace his soul role in Juventus. His breakthrough goals and long-range shots are the magic weapon for Juventus to defeat the enemy. In the 7 games he has missed this season, Juventus has won 4 and 2

The results were 1 draw and 1 loss. All 4 wins were small wins by 1 goal. The opponents were mid-table teams such as Udinese, Dynamo Kyiv and Chievo. Among the 13 goals contributed by Nedvěd, 6

They directly pushed their opponents into the abyss, including Roma, Milan, Piacenza, Real Madrid, and Barcelona. Only because of Nedved's absence did Inter Milan have the advantage in the midfield.

The forwards of both sides are evenly matched, and Inter Milan can look forward to the first line. With the strong support of the midfielder, the strength of Vieri and Adriano will make Juventus's defense into chaos. However, Juventus forward Trezeguet

Both Del Piero and Del Piero are very capable of seizing opportunities. But without Nedvěd's distribution and support, Del Piero and Trezeguet, who have single and fixed offensive methods, may not be able to survive under the focus of Inter Milan's defense.

As. Under the impact of Inter Milan's two powerful centers, Ronaldinho and Robben in the midfield may play a fatal role.

Goalkeeper comparison: Juventus wins, Inter Milan's main goalkeeper is Toldo. Juventus' goalkeeper is Buffon, both are world-class goalkeepers, but Toldo is Buffon's substitute in the national team, and he is brave and calm, tall and

Compared with the flexible Buffon, Toldo is still a little less stable.

In its pre-match predictions, England's "The Times" believed that two teams of equal strength and familiarity would not have any scruples in the game, but there would not be any major changes. In the end, it is very likely that the Italian team would win.

The only way to decide the championship is to draw 0:0 and then decide the championship through penalty kicks. If a penalty kick is really taken, the Times will be more optimistic about Juventus.

"Bild" believes that the biggest variable is Jiang Mu. This Chinese, known as the magical coach, probably knows Lippi and Juventus better than anyone else. What tactics and attitude he adopts in this game will determine

With the direction of the game, Lippi could only respond conservatively. However, "Bild" also believed that the possibility of a big score in this game was unlikely. After all, this was a Champions League final.

Juventus coach Lippi also said in an interview that he doesn't care whether the game is exciting or not, nor does he care about the score. All he wants is the championship. This is the common thought of all Zebra fans.

Head coach Jiang Mu, who has led Inter Milan to the finals twice in a row, made similar remarks to Lippi, "After the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has been able to defend the championship. This shows that the competition in the Champions League is becoming more and more fierce.

The difficulty is getting bigger and bigger. Since ancient times, I have fought in unknown games. I also understand that in a game that determines the outcome, chance plays a huge role. Although we and Juventus are old rivals, I can only guarantee that we will win the game.

On the basis of winning the championship, I will try my best to please the fans and make the game more exciting."

On the evening of the 28th, in Manchester, the northern city of England, the eyes of fans all over the world will be focused on the famous Trafford Stadium, where the two Italian teams that have reached the final will compete for the trophy of the 48th Champions League: Juventus

Serie A and Inter Milan are the two most successful teams in Serie A. This time they have moved the stage of competition to Europe.

In Italy, Juventus is the undisputed number one club, and Inter Milan can hardly keep up with them. However, in the European arena, Inter Milan is stronger than Juventus. Inter Milan has won the Champions League three times in history, while Juventus

Si only 2 times.

This is the fourth time Lippi's team has participated in the Champions League final. He lost twice before and won once. If he loses the final again this time, he will become the first coach to lose the Champions League final three times, but now

The situation is unfavorable to Lippi. Juventus cannot play with its entire main lineup this time. The team's top star, Czech Nedvěd, received a yellow card in the second round of the semi-final against Real Madrid, which resulted in a cumulative suspension.

will miss the final. Although his replacement, Argentinian Camoranesi, is not weak, he still cannot compare with the Czech Ironman.

If there is anything good about Juventus, it is that the referee of this game is Marcus Merck from Germany. He has refereed 4 Juventus games in the UEFA Champions League this season.

The Bianconeri have 3 wins and 1 loss. This young referee has always been known for his strict enforcement and prone to red cards. Merck has refereed 89 international matches, and his Italian language skills are the best besides his native language. He can communicate with Italian players a little bit.

There is no problem. Davis, Ferrara, Montero and Tazinardi make a lot of small moves in defense, and prefer to use fierce interceptions to block the opponent's offense. Merck enforces Juventus games, Juventus

Si actually has more wins than losses and has never received a red card. You can imagine why Zebra fans like him so much.

Because this Champions League final was between two Italian teams, Italian fans began to enter Manchester three days before the start of the game. On the morning of the game, the entire Manchester almost became the world of Italian fans, and the streets and alleys were full of Italian fans.

Zebra fans wearing blue and black jersey zip-ups and black and white sword-striped shirts.

Due to too many fans going to watch the game, the roads near the stadium were blocked a few hours before the game. The most eye-catching among them were the young Inter Milan fans waving team flags and scarves. The spectacular scene of them marching side by side, as if

The army sets off for battle.

An hour before the game, most of the fans had already entered the stadium, and the shouts could be heard half a kilometer away from the stadium. After finally squeezing into the tunnel, the entire stadium was like a sea of ​​black, white and blue. The audience was full of people.

, flag-waving and cheering came one after another. Except for some seats reserved for neutral fans who came from all over the world, the rest of the stadium was occupied by densely packed Inter Milan fans and Zebra fans.
