My uncle is Inzaghi

Chapter 222 Before the finals

In any case, the thirty-eighth round of the league is over.

This season's Premier League rankings were also born.

Champion Arsenal, runner-up Manchester City, third-place Chelsea, fourth-place Liverpool.

This is the team that has secured four Champions League spots for next season.

It is worth mentioning that.

Manchester United finished seventh this season - setting a record for Manchester United's worst performance since the beginning of the Premier League. You must know that in every Premier League season before this, Manchester United has never fallen out of the top three.

Champions Arsenal held a very simple awards ceremony at Carrow Road.

Even on the road.

But everyone is happy.

Although this is not the first time they have won the league championship, it is not easy to win the championship this season.

They encountered a wave of injuries in the league and suffered a winless streak.

In the end, they won this arduous league marathon with their strong performance against direct championship competitors.

After this game is over.

Arsenal returned to London and received a warm welcome from the fans.

But the club did not arrange too large a celebration.

because.

Even though the Premier League season is over.

But Arsenal's season isn't over yet.

There is a more important game waiting for them.

The players got together to celebrate.

Wenger just told them not to overdo it.

Then the decision to take a day off was announced.

Wait until the holidays are over.

They are about to prepare for the next UEFA Champions League final.

With the end of mainstream leagues across Europe.

Throughout Europe, the most watched game of the season: the Champions League final has become the focus of discussion in the media in all countries.

The media was abuzz.

On the contrary, the two teams seemed relatively calm.

Whether it's Real Madrid or Arsenal. Neither coaches nor players appear in the media too much.

Obviously, both sides are very cautious about this game.

No one thinks the Champions League final is an easy game.

Both sides are enjoying this final calm before the final storm arrives.

The team and players are relatively low-key.

But it was impossible for the fans on both sides to calm down.

In England, in Spain, all over Europe, and all over the world, fans from both sides, neutral fans, are talking about this game.

In the Dragon Kingdom.

Naturally, there are many people who support Li Mo.

But of course it can't be 100%.

First of all, Real Madrid's fan base in Dragon Country is definitely much stronger than Arsenal.

As the most famous football team in the world, Real Madrid has die-hard fans all over the world.

It can be said.

If it weren't for Li Mo.

Arsenal's popularity on the Internet cannot be compared with Real Madrid.

And now, in terms of Dragon Kingdom’s online voice.

Arsenal, instead, had the upper hand.

This is also understandable.

Although Li Mo did not choose to represent the Dragon Kingdom national team, the reason is well known. What's more, his Dragon Kingdom blood naturally attracted the support of most Dragon Kingdom fans.

in this case.

It is understandable that most neutral fans choose to support Li Mo.

besides.

The amount of attention paid to the game in terms of traditional media is also different from before.

The specifications are even starting to get closer to the World Cup finals.

Major merchants took the opportunity to use the slogan "Watch the Champions League final and cheer for Li Mo" and launched various "UEFA Champions League final discounts".

A scene of national carnival comparable to the World Cup finals was staged in Dragon Kingdom.

Amidst the uproar.

The Arsenal team is quietly preparing for the game in Lisbon. The team has basically had no contact with the media these days.

The team also did not conduct any special "targeted tactics" training.

In a game like the Champions League final, usually neither team will rashly change their playing style before the game.

The teams that can reach this stage have considerable strength.

Naturally, we will pursue "me first".

After all, the two teams that reached the Champions League finals are both at the top in terms of strength.

at the pre-game press conference.

Both Wenger and Ancelotti praised each other.

Wenger said Carlo Ancelotti is one of the best managers in the world today.

Ancelotti dared to say that Wenger is a symbolic figure in the Premier League.

Both sides made a lot of rainbow farts, but actually said nothing.

Two hours before the game.

Arsenal's players woke up from their lunch break.

In fact, many players didn't sleep at all.

In a competition of this level, even these experienced professional players will inevitably feel uneasy and nervous.

But this does not include Li Mo.

He slept very well, and Wilshere, who was in the same room with him, was even a little envious when Li Mo got up.

When the Arsenal players came out from nine o'clock and prepared to board the bus.

Arsenal fans who had been waiting outside for a long time burst into cheers.

The moment the players show up.

The fans immediately went into a trance.

Some fans held team flags.

Some fans held up the jerseys of their favorite players.

Some fans held up replicas of the Big Ears Cup.

The reporters' camera flashes lit up frequently.

among these media and fans.

There are many faces from the Dragon Kingdom.

Reporters from Long Kingdom are here to report on Li Mo.

This is their job.

The fans of Dragon Kingdom purely cheered for Li Mo.

After both sides of the Champions League final came out.

Keen travel companies immediately recognized the opportunity.

A large number of loose tickets were purchased by these Dragon Kingdom tour groups.

There is also a small episode in this.

It's just that some local fans in Europe find it difficult to buy tickets from the loose tickets launched by UEFA - this is actually taken care of by many merchants in Dragon Kingdom.

The ticket distribution for the Champions League final is as follows:

A total of 64,000 tickets can be sold at the Stadium of Light.

Ticket distribution.

Arsenal and Real Madrid each get 22,000, and UEFA have 20,000.

Tickets held by clubs are usually not sold to individual visitors.

Because they have to take care of their fans first.

For example, Arsenal allocates 10,000 of the 24,000 tickets directly to major fan organizations.

These fan organizations are well-organized and have a large number of members who can allocate tickets.

Secondly, it can ensure that they can give the tickets to real Arsenal fans.

In addition, one or two thousand tickets must be used to invite the team's sponsors, celebrities, etc. to the stadium to watch the game.

The remaining more than 10,000 pieces are sold on the official website.

Buyers need to rely on their Arsenal membership to purchase tickets.

In other words, the tickets in the hands of Arsenal are basically unlikely to be purchased by non-Arsenal fans.

Individual tourists can only buy from the 20,000 tickets held by UEFA.

But in fact, not all the tickets in UEFA's hands will be used for sale.

Invited guests and sponsors of the Champions League ask for part of the tickets.

So it can eventually flow into the tickets purchased by individual tourists.

In fact, there are only more than 10,000.

It's not easy to get a ticket to the Champions League final.

So when the tour group launched the project of "going to Lisbon to watch the Champions League final", it became extremely popular.

The previous Champions League finals were not without Dragon Country fans to watch the game.

But it is really rare for at least seven or eight thousand Dragon Country fans to buy tickets like now.

Except for tourists from the Dragon Kingdom.

There are also many local Dragon Country students in England and Europe who are fans.

Right now.

Li Mo and his teammates boarded the bus, and the bus painted in red and white colors started slowly.

Heading towards the Stadium of Light amid the chants of the fans.

Along the way, the street lights on both sides of the road were hung with the flags of the Champions League and the competition teams.

The atmosphere of the finals is upon us.

As the outline of the Stadium of Light appears at the end of the road.

A huge billboard comes into view.

It was a huge outdoor advertisement specially designed by UEFA for this Champions League final.

The advertisement features the backs of Li Mo and Ronaldo.

The backs of the two people were placed on both sides of the advertisement. In front of them were a red and white background with the flames of war burning, and a background with white as the main color.

It's a showdown between Arsenal and Galactica.

Huge posters greeted us.

Everyone's breath was suffocated.

Li Mo's eyes shifted from the poster to the stadium.

The team bus is slowing down.

Beneath the towering stadium.

A large number of fans are queuing to enter the stadium.

A large number of media are doing different reports.

A large number of camera lenses broadcast everything here to the world in detail.

Arsenal's bus drove in from the stadium vehicle entrance and disappeared from the sight of the media and fans outside the stadium square.

Click, click, click!

Under countless flashing lights.

Li Mo got off the bus with a calm expression.

Those microphones and cameras on both sides.

Like a corridor of swords.

Li Mo walked from this passage to the court step by step.

That's the battlefield he's about to fight on!

This is the picture that was just sent back! We can see that players from both sides have arrived at the stadium! ! "

In Madrid.

Those who couldn't attend the game were already watching the game live on television.

The host of Radio Corbe in Madrid is introducing the situation ahead to the audience.

On the TV screen, Li Mo stepped off the bus. The flash made the whole screen flash, and the shutter sounded. There were also reporters shouting something at this time to try to elicit a response from Li Mo.

Li Mo didn't respond. He looked calm and serious. He ignored all the microphones that were extended to him and walked quickly to the dressing room.

"Li Mo's expression looks a little serious."

said the Corbe radio host.

"Hahaha! It seems that even Li Mo is a little afraid of us!"

"They only have one Li Mo! We can definitely win!"

"Arsenal's overall strength is not as good as ours!"

Suddenly many Real Madrid fans said in front of the TV.

Unlike the media’s caution.

Real Madrid fans are full of confidence.

They feel that even if Li Mo scored 52 goals in the Premier League, they are not afraid.

Because they are Real Madrid!

Real Madrid's winning rate in the Champions League final is quite high!

Prior to this, Real Madrid reached the Champions League finals a total of 13 times and won 10 championships.

This winning rate is so high that it is even higher than their winning rate in La Liga.

In the eyes of Real Madrid fans, if this is an ordinary game, maybe Arsenal has a chance, but this is the final! Arsenal had no chance at all.

Because they are Real Madrid with the best lineup in the world, and they are the biggest giants in the world.

They are the best at playing finals like this!

Real Madrid fans believe it.

As long as their team reaches the finals.

You can definitely win the cup in the finals.

No matter how powerful Li Mo is, he can't fight against Real Madrid on his own!

Anyway.

Real Madrid fans think so.

This champion.

They are determined!

At this moment.

The TV screen switched to the scene of the players warming up.

"The two teams have already started to warm up! There is only one hour left before the game starts!"

He Wei's voice was mixed with the cheers of the fans at the scene.

At this moment.

The entire Stadium of Light is already packed with people.

Diehard fans from both sides were all arranged behind the goal.

Speaking of which, there is no grudge between the two teams.

But this is the Champions League final!

The two sides are naturally opposed to each other in the final!

As a result, fans of both teams started to cheer before they even entered the stadium.

Li Mo walked out of the stadium.

There were cheers and boos at the same time.

He stepped on the turf and walked towards the warm-up area. The atmosphere at the Stadium of Light was already very lively.

He knew the game wasn't going to be easy.

But it doesn’t matter.

Which game has been easy since entering the knockout rounds?

If only the Champions League title was so easy to win.

Arsenal will not build a team and has not won the Champions League title so far.

Warm-up is over!

Players from both sides return to the locker room.

Inside the Arsenal dressing room.

Wenger looked around at his players.

"Everyone, there is no doubt that this is our most important game. If we win this game, we will be the king of Europe!"

Wenger's voice was slow, paving the way for the subsequent outburst.

"We have to play our own style and control the rhythm of the game! We can allow them to get more possession of the ball, but we must remember that our purpose is to have a fatal counterattack!"

Ancelotti's face was unprecedentedly serious.

"We can't give Li Mo too much time to get the ball! I think you all know how dangerous he is!"

"We have to create more opportunities for Li Mo! Maybe it's difficult for us to calmly organize the ball into the penalty area, but it doesn't matter. We have Li Mo!"

Wenger looked at Li Mo.

"Everyone just passes the ball!"

Li Mo said loudly.

As the leader of the locker room, he needs to be careful with his teammates!

When I saw Li Mo was full of confidence.

Arsenal's players also felt at ease, and the tension before the game seemed to have dissipated a lot.

The sound of the Stadium of Light also became the background sound in this quiet locker room.

"We may concede the goal! But we must not panic because we concede the goal!"

Ancelotti's voice began to rise.

"We are Real Madrid! We are the strongest team in the world!"

"We are the most wealthy family in the world!"

"We deserve to win the championship!!"

"Our opponent is very strong, very strong!"

"Please note this, our opponent is Real Madrid! A team with world-class players in almost every position"

Wenger said.

"We have to be careful, but it's not fear!"

"We eliminated Barcelona and Bayern. We have no reason to be afraid of Real Madrid!"

"It's just a requirement for ourselves."

"Guys, I believe that if you can play our own football, then it will be a matter of course for us to win this game!"

"Many people say that Li Mo is unstoppable, but that is someone else, not us!"

Ancelotti stood up and stared at his players!

"Many people say that they are the most powerful team, they are aristocrats, they have noble status, and they are naturally different from other teams! But they are also human beings. When we drag them to wallow in the quagmire, when they are covered in filth When it’s muddy.”

"They'll be scared too!"

"They'll panic too!"

Wenger shouted loudly!

"Go! My warriors! Go! Defeat your opponents in your own way!"

"Go tell the world! This is Real Madrid! This is Real Madrid football!!"

Ancelotti finished his words.

All Real Madrid players stood up.

They clenched their fists and stared hard.

Everyone exudes endless fighting spirit!

"Go! My warriors!"

"Go tell the world that we have nothing to fear!"

The words have not yet been spoken!

Li Mo and his teammates suddenly stood up.

Roar in unison!

All of a sudden.

There seemed to be a group of wild beasts in the locker room!
