Chapter 497 Finals Begin
The word "Guaranteed to advance" is as dazzling as it is to the Barcelona people.
But in the face of the condemnation of many media, they are powerless to argue.Although Barcelona received a little unfair treatment during the game and Abidal was sent off with a red card, Chelsea received more unfair treatment throughout the game.In contrast, they have benefited. Now that they have benefited, why are they arguing?Make a fortune in a muffled voice.
Although the Chelsea players were worried about this game, and newspapers and magazines often used words such as walk-up promotion, but as the major seasons came to an end, the voice of condemnation gradually became much smaller.
However, as the day of the Champions League final draws closer, the matter of Barcelona being recommended for promotion was once again brought up by the media.
It is always said that they are recommended for promotion. As Barcelona's head coach, Guardiola is of course upset. Isn't this denying the results of their hard work?At the pre-match press conference, Guardiola became angry when he was asked by reporters again about the promotion.
"The referee did make some inexplicable penalties during the game, but the referee's will is beyond our control! I don't want to talk about anything unrelated to the game now!"
"Would you have the chance to sit here and talk about the Champions League final without that terrible game?"
Hearing what the reporter said, Guardiola became furious.
"I didn't, you did!"
After speaking, Guardiola stood up and left the press conference directly, leaving the reporter with an embarrassed face.
Since the recommendation of promotion was brought up again, the Manchester United team naturally had no way to escape the reporters' questioning.
In an interview, Yu Liang said: "Whether Barcelona or Chelsea are our opponents on the stage of the final, the result is the same, we were defeated!"
Rooney said: "I think I can only say that I am very sorry to Chelsea. I think we will still have the opportunity to stage a red-blue battle in the Champions League final stage in the future. The most important thing right now is to beat Barcelona and win the championship! Last season we had Beat them, and this season will be the same!"
Ronaldo said: "I can't comment on that game. For me, the most important thing now is the final in front of me. I will help the team achieve the defending title!"
After Manchester United's three generals expressed their views on the upcoming final, Manchester United's godfather Sir Alex Ferguson also expressed his views.
"It was indeed a bad game, it was destined to be a stain in the history of the Champions League, you can't erase it, you can't erase it, it will continue with the Champions League...Barcelona is a strong opponent , under the leadership of Guardiola, their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. Tomorrow's game will be a tough game. We will fight for the championship... I don't think there will be such low-level mistakes on the stage of the final , we will present a wonderful showdown for everyone.”
Although Ferguson did not explicitly say that Barcelona would be recommended for promotion, the last sentence still warned UEFA, if you want to make a move on this to prevent them from defending the title, then I'm sorry, the bombardment will never run away.
At 5:27 on the evening of May 20, the game officially started in the Olympic Stadium in Rome. More than 45 fans poured into the stadium, including Spanish King Juan Carlos, Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero, and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusco. Ni, Britain's Prince William and UEFA President Michel Platini.
Before the official start of the game, there was a short but grand performance in the arena. In the gladiator theme song sung by an Italian tenor, models dressed in golden clothes entered one after another holding big ear cups.The short but grand performance came to an end after the UEFA Champions League theme song ended.
When the theme song of the Champions League sounded, players from both sides followed the referee team into the stadium, bringing the atmosphere to the extreme...
"The players from both sides have entered the field, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides!"
The UEFA Champions League final attracted worldwide attention, attracting nearly 200 countries and regions to broadcast the game live.
In China, not only CCTV 5 broadcasted live, but also large sports portals such as Global Sports also broadcast such a game online. Domestic fans can watch the final in different regions through different channels.
When the players from both sides entered the field, different commentators on major domestic live broadcast platforms said this in unison.
Then they began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides there.
"Ferguson still has a 442 formation, and the veteran Van der Sar starts at the goalkeeper position. The nearly 40-year-old Van der Sar is old and strong. He performed well during the season and was successfully nominated for the best team in the Premier League. He has recently completed a match with Manchester United's contract extension, he said that this will be the last contract of his career, and he will choose to retire after completing this contract! In front of Van der Sar, he is still the best central defender combination in the Premier League, Ferdinand and Vidic , Ferdinand had discomfort in his calf before, and it seems that he is recovering quite well now. Teenager Evans is sitting on the bench and waiting. The right back O'Shea is the starter, and the Brazilian teenager Rafael is sitting on the bench. The defender is still the French international Evra. In the midfield, the veteran Giggs won the starting lineup, separated from the Korean Park Ji-sung on both sides. This is the first time a Korean player has appeared on the stage of the Champions League final. Carrick and Chinese players Yu Liang partnered in the middle. Today they will accept a huge test. Whether Manchester United can beat Barcelona depends on whether the two of them can freeze Barcelona's midfield. Manchester United's striker today is Ronaldo and Rooney, Berba Tove and Carlos Tevez are both sitting on the bench. Chinese player King Dong was reimbursed for the season and is still recovering from his injury, but he appeared in the stands. We had a chat with him before the game. He hopes the team can complete the defending title! "
After introducing Manchester United's starting lineup, the commentator immediately introduced Barcelona's lineup.
Although Manchester United has Yu Liang and King Dong and is the home team of many Chinese fans, Barcelona also has a large number of fans in China.
"Barcelona is still in a 433 formation, goalkeeper Valdez, because Alves and Abidal are suspended, Guardiola puts Puyol on the right back, and Guardiola uses veterans on the left back. Sylvinho, the left flank he guards may be the main attack direction of Manchester United. Pique, who once played for Manchester United, is partnered with Yaya Toure. Well, in midfield Xavi, Iniesta and Butzquez partner. Messi, Henry and Eto'o form the Barcelona attacking trident. Barcelona has scored more than 130 goals in all competitions this season , Messi scored more than 30 goals in all competitions this season, and Messi also led the way with eight goals in the Champions League. Ronaldo, who won the top scorer last season, only scored 4 goals this season. Withdrew from the top scorer competition early. With Rooney's 5 goals, it is difficult to shake Messi's top position, so Messi can basically be sure to win the top scorer."
When the commentator had just introduced the starting lineups of the two sides, the referee Busacca from Switzerland in the Olympic Stadium in Rome blew the whistle for the start of the game!
