Chapter 854 147 Final Battle at Wembley 1

Everyone talked and laughed in the locker room for a while, and then led by the coaching staff, they went to the stadium to do pre-match warm-up activities. It was already June, and summer had arrived. The weather was much better than winter, so the chance of players getting injured would be much lower, but warm-up before the game was still a very important step, not to mention that it rained in London yesterday.

Wenger also went to the stadium with everyone. Although Manchester United was playing at home, in fact, according to UEFA's algorithm, Trapani was the home team. Manchester United had not arrived yet, and there were already some fans in the stadium, but the number was not large. When Trapani's players and coaches came to the stadium, they were cheered by these scattered fans.

The players did not put on airs, and they greeted the fans who welcomed them, and then they started warm-up training.

Wenger asked the players and coaching staff about their feelings about the stadium conditions. The situation was good, and Wenger was relieved.

Hugo and his team also arrived at the stadium in advance. Today's game naturally cannot be without the support of the royal family. The one who came to watch the game was Prince William, who will be the British emperor in the future. Hugo came early because of him. Prince William wanted to meet Hugo at Wembley Stadium. This is a part of foreign affairs activities. Hugo can ignore it, but there is no need to do this. Besides, there is no grudge.

So Hugo agreed to Prince William's envoy, so he came early just to meet with Prince William. Why did Prince William want to meet Hugo? There is only one reason why he has never met Hugo.

As a top rich man, it is said that he is the richest man in Europe, an expert in Internet economics, and a legendary figure known as the "nerve knife" in football, Prince William has enough curiosity.

This prince just completed his wedding in April. That guy was really grand. There is no way. His wedding is a political event in the UK, not just as simple as ordinary people getting married.

Hugo is not as tall as him, but he is more handsome. The two chatted about football, the Internet and other topics. Some people said that Prince William is a football fan and supports Villa. Hugo was also curious and took the opportunity to ask. Unexpectedly, the prince really said that he really has a special liking for Villa.

Aston Villa has a lot of background, which is what attracted William, but Hugo still thinks that William may just be supportive.

After chatting with the prince for a while, Hugo said goodbye when it was almost time, and declined the idea of ​​watching the game with the couple. When he walked out of the royal box, Hugo met the Beckham family. Beckham was loaned to Milan, but his performance was actually very average, and Milan did not reverse the situation because of him.

The final held at Wembley was against two former clubs. Beckham did not choose not to attend like Ronaldo did. Instead, he came openly and accepted the free ticket from Manchester United, but also attended the party held by Hugo. When interviewed by UEFA official reporters before the game, Beckham said: "I can't make a prediction, I just hope that this final will be a wonderful final!"

Beckham also came to see Prince William. After all, he is a knight. The couple was also invited to attend Prince William's wedding, which is a great thing.

Back in the box, the time is getting closer and closer to the start of the game. I chatted with my family and waited for a while. The pre-match song and dance performance began. This year, UEFA also specially invited the world's fastest man Bolt to walk the runway. However, this flying man is not a fan of Trapani. He is a die-hard fan of Manchester United. He predicted that Manchester United would win several times before the game. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to belittle Trapani. There are not so many fools among public figures.

Lineker showed off the trophy, and after some singing and dancing, the players from both sides officially appeared. The referee was Hungarian Kassai. This referee had officiated many Champions League matches before, and this was the first time for him to officiate the final, but he looked very calm.

The players from both sides came to the stadium under the leadership of the captains, and cheers rang out in the stadium. In addition to UEFA taking some tickets, the other tickets were fairly divided between the two clubs. The number of fans of both sides was similar in the stadium. Of course, the ticket revenue eventually belonged to UEFA.

Manchester United is a very influential team. After the arrival of Glazer, Manchester United's performance remained stable under the leadership of Ferguson, but the team's strength did not seem to be good enough. Just look at their starting lineup.

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar

Defenders: Fabio, Ferdinand, Vidic, Rafael

Midfielders: Valencia, Giggs, Carrick, Park Ji-sung

Forwards: Rooney, Hernandez

Fabio and Rafael are twin brothers from Brazil. They were highly valued by Ferguson, but they were too young. Ferguson had no choice. The team had a lot of injuries before the final. The defenders were injured, and the midfielder Scholes was also injured. He had to use the veteran Giggs and the twin brothers.

Trapani's side is much more star-studded.

Goalkeeper: Kameni

Defenders: Maggio, Boateng, Barzagli, Evra

Midfielders: Mascherano, Schweinsteiger, Kaka

Forwards: Di Maria, Suarez, Messi

Kaka finally achieved a small counterattack. In this crucial final, Wenger put him in the starting position. In other positions, this is Wenger's mind. Trapani's strongest lineup at present.

Two iconic figures of the Premier League met in the Champions League final. When Wenger and Ferguson shook hands before the game, the big screen at the scene was specially close-up, which aroused the cheers of the fans. To be honest, the two people were a little emotional. No one expected to meet in such a situation. Ferguson and Wenger shook hands together, smiled and wished each other good luck.

"Whoever laughs last today will have a drink!" Ferguson laughed. This is Ferguson's habit. Many times after the game, he chooses to have a drink with the opponent's coach.

"Okay!" Wenger readily agreed.

After Kassai blew the whistle, the game officially started with the cheers of fans from both sides. Manchester United used the high-pressure tactics at the beginning. Ferguson wanted to grab the start. They actually studied Trapani for quite some time, but Trapani gave people a terrible feeling.

It is almost difficult to find the weakness of this team. They have both skills and physical strength. They fought with Barcelona who tried to destroy them with passing and control, but Barcelona did not have an absolute advantage in both rounds. They also played against Real Madrid who are good at defensive counterattacks, but Real Madrid still lost 0:3 at home.

Fast or slow, with or without skills, it seems that teams with various characteristics can hardly get an advantage in front of them, but Ferguson's team may be different from other teams in one aspect, that is, the cohesion is particularly strong, because the old man always stands there.

Manchester United's players ran very hard and actively, and the pressing still had a certain effect. Trapani can be regarded as a veteran in the Champions League. Wenger's strategy at the beginning of this game was to test. After a while, Manchester United's more positive attitude gave them a certain advantage and continuous offensive.

Manchester United fans were a little excited, and Sir Alex Ferguson was also looking forward to it on the sidelines. Unfortunately, it was easy for them to get into the penalty area as long as they did not restrict the crosses, but it was difficult to get what they wanted. The "Little Pea" really couldn't get any advantage from Barzagli and Boateng.

Rooney was specially assigned by Ferguson today and retreated to get the ball more often, but he also completed a wonderful long shot. Unfortunately, he did a good job of pressing the ball and the power was good, but the position was too straight, so Trapani's captain Kameni didn't have much trouble to receive it.
