The Champions League final must be a sleepless night. For many fanatical fans, this is their festival. Everyone is ready to shout wildly on this night. As participating teams, Italian and English fans are out in full force.

A week before the game, more and more English and Italian people were looking for tickets on the streets of Istanbul. Even if they couldn't find tickets, these fanatical guys planned to stay in the city and cheer for the team outside the stadium.

This fanatical mood did not make the two clubs feel nervous, but made the Turkish government feel like they were facing a great enemy. Especially in the attitude towards British fans, these Turks seemed a little contradictory. They hoped that more people would come to activate the local economy.

They were also worried that there were fanatical saboteurs hidden in these English fan groups. After all, everyone knew how powerful English football hooligans were. If something happened, I'm afraid that Turkey's security environment would be greatly affected. If that happened, it would really be a loss.

In particular, the relationship between the English and the Turks has become very bad since five years ago. When Galatasaray played against Leeds United at home, there was a conflict between fans on the street, and two English fans were stabbed to death on the street.

Although this happened five years ago, don't expect the fans of both sides to forget this festival. Slight stimulation may cause another conflict between the fans of the two countries, not to mention the heated debate between British and Italian fans.

In the three or four days before the decisive battle, at least two hundred fans of both sides were sent back to their country because of conflicting behavior in public places, and this conflict seems to have no possibility of stopping. There is no way. Sometimes you can only use fists to convince the other party.

Especially the English, they often call those Italians women. In their opinion, these guys who look very feminine are simply women. If they can't beat the other party with words, then fists and wine glasses are the best weapons, although this kind of counterattack looks very violent.

Although English fans are often called football hooligans, some extreme Italian fans are not necessarily good people. It is not surprising that such small-scale conflicts broke out between the two sides. The only depressed people are the police patrolling the streets of Turkey.

However, this surging group of fans has brought considerable economic benefits to Istanbul. Hotels that are usually not crowded are almost full, and bars and places of entertainment are also filled with a lot of visitors. This may be the only good news for them.

Compared with these crazy fans, the clubs of both sides seem unusually quiet, even a little silent. Mourinho and Ancelotti have rejected many media interview requests a week before the game, and those players have also chosen to shut up very smartly.

This is a very sensitive moment. No one wants to stir up any waves before the game. Even if Mourinho usually loves to quarrel with the opposing coach, he now hopes that everything can be quieter. After all, this is a decisive battle, and he needs to calm down and adjust everyone's competitive state.

Besides, bickering is not what we should do at this time. There is no point in fighting in the air. If we want to fight, we can wait for the pre-match press conference, there will be plenty of opportunities, but it is really not challenging to bully Ancelotti who is not very combative at ordinary times.

At this time, Mourinho really missed old men like Ferguson. Only a verbal storm with such a tough old guy would be enough. Bickering with a person who is usually like a good guy is no different from bullying. It is too non-confrontational.

Chelsea and AC Milan have both chosen the closed training method to deal with the entanglement of the media. Now even the media reporters who are familiar with each other find it difficult to catch the news from the internal teams of both teams, but the more so, the more the comments in the newspapers will fly all over the sky.

Not only are the tactical arrangements of the head coaches of both sides speculated, but the war of words between the newspapers and celebrities of the two countries has also become extremely hot. When this peak confrontation comes, it is estimated that no one is willing to take a step back, especially the dialogue between such strong teams, which will attract more predictions and comments.

Lin Yi now feels the atmosphere of another Champions League final. Compared with last year when they met Monaco, this is a completely different level of competition, including the propaganda war in the newspapers, which is constantly changing and exciting.

The coaches who coached in the clubs of the two countries have become the vanguards in this war of words. Although these Premier League coaches do not like Mourinho, the fight against Serie A still makes them stand on the side of Chelsea, especially Ferguson, who believes that Chelsea will definitely win.

"We have had a direct confrontation with AC Milan, so I know what those Italians can do on the field. Maybe they can rely on the midfield to suppress in the game against Manchester United, but this method does not work for Chelsea because those guys are very strong."

Ferguson's words can be regarded as using personal experience to prove the strength of both sides from the side. The two-round defeat against AC Milan obviously made the old man feel resentful, but what he said is not without reason. Chelsea's midfield confrontation ability is indeed stronger.

If AC Milan wants to defeat Chelsea purely by relying on its own ball control and pressure, then Ancelotti must have made the wrong calculation. From the beginning of the season to now, no team has been able to control Chelsea, especially In the midfield, the Blues almost dominated everything.

And after AC Milan was almost reversed by PSV Eindhoven in the game, this statement seemed to have found evidence. Many English coaches and columnists believed that Chelsea would not let their opponents suppress it, and even they had May control the lifeline of the midfield.

Strachan, a famous Premier League coach and current football commentary columnist, believes that Chelsea will definitely defeat AC Milan and then dominate Europe. Mourinho's team's conquest cannot be stopped by Milan's defense. Those Italians will definitely be there. A crushing hand-to-hand combat.

Strachan believed in his column that after seeing AC Milan’s embarrassing performance against PSV, Chelsea should have been obviously inspired. They no longer have to be afraid of such an opponent, although in experience The opponent has the upper hand, but in terms of confrontation, Chelsea obviously has the advantage. The Italians' current playing style is very monotonous, and the team is also very old. Chelsea should follow the example of PSV. The Dutch champions always take the initiative, and they continue to Applying pressure without giving the Milanese a chance to breathe, Chelsea also has the ability to always press opponents at a high pace.

There are also many people who have the same idea in Strachan, especially many people believe that the current strength of Serie A has declined significantly. Only Milan and Juventus can support the situation in the European war, and the rise of the Premier League has been comprehensive. Sexually, Chelsea will be the representative of this.

Even a Frenchman like Wenger who rarely speaks out said in an interview, "I am optimistic about Chelsea. They can win the Champions League trophy. The reason? It's very simple. AC Milan's age structure determines their success in the competition. It’s a very tiring time period, that’s why.”

Although Wenger didn't say much, the old guy hit the nail on the head. The AC Milan team, whose average age is already 30 years old, does have physical problems. There is no doubt about this, otherwise they would not be playing against Egypt. There were so many fatal mistakes in Inhoven's confrontation.

There are not enough qualified substitutes, lack of rotation, and AC Milan has always been chasing Juventus in the league. They are really tired in two-line operations, especially at the end of the season. This kind of tired affection is almost It's written on the faces of every AC Milan player.

Including Shevchenko told the media after his thrilling promotion, I was too tired. I didn’t get a rest in seventeen games. This fatigue has probably made the invincible Nuclear Warhead feel that his legs are weak, including the Italian media. I have also said that physical fitness is indeed a big hidden danger.

This problem has never bothered Chelsea. In the past five rounds of the league, most of Chelsea's main players have received enough rest. Mourinho, who won the league championship in advance, has been concentrating on preparing for the Champions League final. This advantage may It is what Ancelotti envies the most.

However, in the last two rounds of the league, AC Milan has also rotated most of its main players. It can be seen that Ancelotti does not want to let his physical fitness hold him back. He will definitely adjust well before the showdown in Istanbul. The state of the main players in the team will lead to a decisive battle.

Compared with physical problems, Ancelotti is obviously more worried about how harsh Chelsea's defense will be. He even doubts whether Mourinho will set up a pure iron barrel formation for himself. , and then dragged it until the penalty shootout.

Although Ancelotti does not believe that Chelsea will give up the offense, the opponent's defense is really enough to give him a headache. Only the devil knows how to tear it apart. In the training sessions of the past week, the Italian guy has been training The team's ability to break down dense defenses.

Damn training, this is what Ancelotti cursed in private, because he was very depressed to find that the Italians, who had always relied on defensive counterattacks, this time they had to face a pervert who was better at this kind of tactics than them. There's no way it won't make you depressed to death.

However, compared with Ancelotti's depression, Mourinho seems very relaxed at the moment. All the tactical arrangements have basically been formed in his mind. What he needs to do now is to mobilize the players' emotions before the game. This is a game of rise for Chelsea.

If you want to be a wealthy team, it's easy to do it. Going to the court and destroying a wealthy team is the easiest way. . .
