The team had a little adaptive training and set-piece drills in the afternoon. ┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛The morale of the players is high, and there is also a trace of tension spreading.

The last time Inter Milan entered the Champions League final was more than 30 years ago. The last time they entered the final was in the 1971-72 season before the restructuring of the Champions League.

None of the current batch of players has ever played in a Champions League final. This lack of experience is likely to be fatal when it appears on the field.

Of course, from this point of view, Liverpool is actually similar.

Maybe they are also tense on the training ground.

After training, the players returned to the hotel, and Mancini did not allow everyone to go out and wander around to avoid accidents.

Some people were playing games in the room, some were chatting, Ronaldo found a few people to play poker, and Ricardo played table tennis with Adriano, Ze Maria and several Italian players.

There was no suspense about the outcome, and Licado naturally became the player with the highest level of table tennis in the team.

After Adriano was beaten 21:3, he threw the racket and sighed: "I almost forgot, you are half Chinese, so I shouldn't ask you to play table tennis. In this world, when it comes to table tennis, no one is Chinese rivals."

"Do you want to continue?" Licado asked with a smile.

"I won't come, it's too depressing to play with you, it will affect the state of the game at night," Adriano said with a proud smile, "I'm not like someone, I want to start."

He and Ricardo are too familiar, and he doesn't shy away from making such jokes.

Riccardo didn't care, but there was someone lying next to him with a gun, Vieri looked depressed, and Zemalia also looked a little sad.

Who wouldn't want to play in a Champions League final? For most players, reaching the Champions League final is a once-in-a-lifetime event. If you can only be a spectator, and what is even more depressing is that like Vieri, you didn't even make the squad. Complicated.

Adriano didn't realize that he said the wrong thing, and he didn't notice that the faces of several players around him turned bad. Although he was born in 1982, he was 23 years old, but he was still an immature boy with a low emotional intelligence. Not even Ricardo can compare.

After a dinner of high-energy food, the team set off for the Ataturk Olympic Stadium.

Fans also started to enter the stadium early.

When the players on both sides began to warm up, a large number of fans from both sides had poured into the field.

According to official statistics, this pinnacle game attracted 80,000 fans to watch the game, including about 12,000 Inter Milan fans from Italy, slightly more Liverpool fans, and some bits and pieces from other countries. fans, the rest are Turkish fans.

When the team was warming up, the fans on both sides had already started blasting each other's team songs, trying to overwhelm each other. Inter fans sang "Pazza Inter" and Liverpool fans sang their famous "You'll never walk alone". The singing is intertwined, but it is as distinct as the players of the two teams warming up on the court.

Ricardo doesn't have any special feelings for this Liverpool player. Except for Gerrard, he has a general impression of the rest of the players. This Liverpool lacks superstars, not even a player with whom he wants to exchange jerseys.

He likes Irving very much, but unfortunately Irving has gone to Real Madrid.

Ronaldo is quite popular. As the number one player in football today, he has no shortage of fans wherever he goes. Cisse and Baros all find opportunities to talk to him and express their admiration for him. Gerrard also Come over and set up a few words with him.

Inter Milan's coaching staff just got Liverpool's squad. Liverpool's starting midfielders were exactly as they expected. The lone striker did not choose Cisse, who performed well in the league, but chose the stronger and better-skilled Baros. The hidden front chose Kewell.

This is a bit of a surprise. After all, Kewell only played 7 games throughout 2005 and has been plagued by injuries. The Inter Milan coaching staff thought in advance that he would not start.

Kewell has good skills and fast speed. He is two different types of players from the other candidate for this position, Smicer. Mancini hastened to come up with countermeasures and will give new instructions to the players in the locker room later. instruction.

Kewell must not be underestimated because of too many injuries and poor state this season. Once he breaks out, the destructive power it causes is astonishing. He made 182 appearances and scored 46 goals during his time at Leeds United. As a player closer to the midfield, his scoring efficiency is not low.

Inter Milan made an unsuccessful bid of 25 million euros for him in 2000, and his form has since declined. He came to Liverpool as Leeds United fell into financial crisis and sold players.

This is definitely a player to focus on.

As for Baros on the front line, Mancini doesn't value him very much, and 10 Baros can't compare to the threat of one Ronaldo.

The ones Liverpool need to focus on are Steven Gerrard and Harvey Alonso.

Gerrard is the core of Liverpool, the spiritual leader, an important scoring point, and the engine of the midfield. There is no need to mention his importance and the role he plays in the team.

Harvey Alonso is Liverpool's midfield commander and metronome. He shines under the Spanish coach Benitez and is also one of Liverpool's most indispensable players.

He and Gerrard are currently the only two world-class players in Liverpool.

As for the other players, they are all players with obvious advantages and disadvantages. Most of them are in the middle and lower levels of the intercontinental level. In terms of "star flavor", there is a lot of gap with Inter Milan's lineup.

Liverpool's 442 today is likely to adopt a parallel position. Xavi Alonso and Gerrard jointly occupy the midfield, with Riise on the left and Luis Garcia on the right.

Among them, Riise is a typical full-back with a balanced offense and defense. Perhaps he is more suitable for the position of left-back. His long-range shots and free kicks are important offensive weapons for Liverpool.

And Luis Garcia is a Spanish winger with excellent skills. His defensive ability is slightly weaker, his offensive power cannot be underestimated, and he is good at cutting inside. Had he come out in an era that favored the use of inside wingers, he might have shined even more. He scored fantastic goals against both Juventus and Chelsea and is a player that Inter cannot ignore.

Not to mention Liverpool's defense, the advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious. Facing strikers like Ronaldo and Adriano, it is impossible for them not to concede goals. The question is how many concedes.

After the warm-up, the two sides returned to the locker room.

The Inter Milan players listened quietly to Mancini's adjustments.

Finally Mancini stopped explaining, he paused, waved his hand suddenly, and raised his voice: "Gentlemen, you have always wanted to stand here, and now you are standing here. You have paid a lot to finally get here, I'm so proud of you."

"I know, you all want that trophy. And this is the closest we get to that trophy. Miss this time, I don't know if there will be such a good opportunity in the future."

"So, go do your best and don't leave any regrets in your career."

"'Winning the Champions League runner-up' is a completely different concept from 'won the Champions League trophy'."

"So, go and fight bravely for me, stepping on the corpses of Liverpool people, and ascending to that high podium!"
