There is a dream called football

The pre-match press conference was attended by the head coaches of both teams. This was stipulated by UEFA. Before the match, the two sides shook hands and took a group photo in front of the Big Ears Cup. This scene was very funny because everyone knew that only one side could win the final.

Big ear cup.

"Sir Alex Ferguson, Tevez seems to have returned to the team. Is it a reconciliation?"

When asked such a question before the Champions League final, the reporter obviously meant it on purpose, but Ferguson thought it didn't matter and laughed.

"Carlos is very young and he has already paid the price. I think we all did something wrong when we were young. We pay the price and then life can go on."

"What will be the tactics for the final? Will it be as boring as the FA Cup?"

Ferguson laughed.

"I don't know, because tactics depend on the situation of the game. If the situation of the game changes, the tactics will also change, so it is definitely impossible for me to tell you what tactics we will use now."

"But one thing is for sure, that is, we will be more cautious, because this is the final, so the process of the game may not be so beautiful. At this time, what everyone values ​​​​more is the result."

"About the first launch?"

"I don't think I need to say it. You should also know that for those people, our lineup this season is relatively fixed, so there is no need to guess anything. If it were not UEFA regulations, I could announce the starting lineup now.

"

"Will league results give Manchester United some psychological advantage?"

Ferguson shook his head.

"We had a certain advantage over Chelsea in the league, but that's in the past, and the league and the cup are different. The league is either at Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge. In short, it is played in a stadium that we are very familiar with.

Yes, and for the Champions League final we have to travel to far away Moscow to play, which is difficult to adapt to, so everything is different."

"If you win the Triple Crown again, how will you celebrate?"

Ferguson chuckled, "Maybe I will take my whole family to the Maldives for vacation. I have been there once before. It is a beautiful place."

"Will you ask for a raise?"

"I think that's for sure, the board of directors has to give me a bigger check."

"Ha ha."

When it was Grant's turn, he kept his expression serious and basically faced the reporters with a serious face.

"We know you have been asked countless times, but we still want to ask you once, has Abramovich given you a commitment to work, especially before the finals."

Grant said, "No."

no.

A decisive answer.

"No matter how many times you ask, this is my answer, no, there won't be. Unless a new contract is placed in front of me, I really have nothing to say on this topic."

"What tactics will you use in the final? Defensive counterattack?"

As we all know, the most powerful tactics of Chelsea during the Mourinho era were to set the pace, not to worry about ball possession, and to defend and counterattack. Therefore, reporters instinctively felt that Grant would still use these unique tricks passed down from his ancestors when the situation was most critical.

Grant smiled, "Maybe, but Sir Alex Ferguson is here, so I don't think I will say too much."

"Ha ha."

"As for hiring, would you choose Shevchenko or Drogba?"

Shevchenko has always been controversial at Chelsea because owner Roman Abramovich likes the Ukrainian very much and even said that they are good friends in private. However, neither Mourinho nor Grant seem to be interested in Shevchenko.

.

This can only be said to be different in different leagues. For example, Kaká, when he was in Milan, he was omnipotent, like God, but after a few years in Real Madrid, he was useless.

Shevchenko is in a similar situation. If he had not come to Chelsea and had been at AC Milan, the Ukrainian's career would have reached a higher level.

This is a good example of transfer problems. Of course, for Grant, he doesn't care about this, he just wants to send better players.

"Shevchenko is very good. He will be in the substitute lineup. I will send him on when the game cannot open up. In the league, he can often score goals when he comes off the bench. He is our Sol

Skja.”

"Ha ha."

Grant is very smart, and he answered this question very cleverly. In this way, he did not slap Shevchenko in the face, and also saved the boss's face. It can be said that he accomplished multiple things with one stone.

"Regarding the goalkeeper position, we heard that Chelsea had some minor injuries before the game."

Grant straightened the microphone and said: "Thank you for setting off smoke bombs for Chelsea, but I can give you a clear answer. Cech is not injured and he will play in the game."

In fact, the reporter's news this time is very accurate. Cech really had a minor injury before the game. However, before such an important game in the final, you have to persist with a minor injury. Cech himself cannot be blamed for it.

I had to give up the game due to this minor injury.

The press conference is over, and the war is about to begin. Who will win? In the summer of 2008, who will have the last laugh among the two teams that went to Moscow?

This is the topic that everyone is most concerned about.

May 21st.

The eyes of all Europe are focused on the Luzhniki Stadium on the outskirts of Moscow, where the finale of European football this season will be staged.

The first thing to start is the theatrical performance, which is some of the most characteristic song and dance performances of the host country. This time it is in Russia, so Russian-style performances are indispensable. Dozens of teenagers entered the stadium and danced, and the songs also had very familiar melodies.

, you may not have heard of it, but Russian-style music actually has its own characteristics, such as "Evening on the Suburbs of Moscow". At least I can tell that it is completely different from Chinese music.

After the song and dance performance, the Big Ears Cup enters the stage, which is highly anticipated. The Champions League trophy will be handed over to the engraver immediately after the game, and he will carve the name of the latest Champions League champion on the trophy.

This is a very ceremonial thing, and it is also something that can make both parties excited. The premise is to win it all first.

Tonight one team will win it all and the other team will fall flat.

There was also a clear distinction in the stands, because the colors of the two teams were very different. The one who seemed enthusiastic was Manchester United, while the one who was like sea water was Chelsea.

Just as the fans were making noise, the players from the two teams had already lined up in the player tunnel, and they were ready to enter the field under the leadership of the referee.

The melody of the Champions League theme song sounded, and players from both teams began to enter the stadium under the leadership of the referee. Seeing the scene in front of him, even Li Qiao, who had won the Champions League championship, was very excited, and his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
