Chapter 1066
"Ow!"

"it is good!"

"Li Huan! Li Huan!"

"Rooney... Rooney..."

At 5:28 on the evening of May 19th, local time in the United Kingdom, warm cheers erupted from the stands of the stadium. Ninety thousand fans threw away their umbrellas and stood up and applauded to welcome the appearance of the two final teams, Arsenal and Manchester United.

The young and handsome referee Kasey was at the front holding the red and white "London Final" UEFA Champions League ball, beside him was the fourth official Wade, behind them were assistant referees Eros and Ringer, and the bottom line assistant referees : Fabian, Bognar, they are all Hungarians.

Players from Arsenal and Manchester United led their caddies and filed in. Their faces were serious and solemn. Such a game worth hundreds of millions and related to the honor and status of the players, no matter how big the brand player could be Treat it like a child's play.

The players entered the arena to take group photos, tossed coins, and the reporters on the sidelines kept taking pictures. The commentator on the scene also loudly introduced the lineups of the two sides. With the names of the superstars he called out, The fans in the stands gave out warm applause, and popular players like Li Huan, Rooney and Fabregas were called out by tens of thousands of fans.

Manchester United's starting lineup in this game is not much different from what everyone predicted before the game. It is a 4231 formation. The goalkeeper is still the 40-year-old veteran Van der Sar. If Manchester United can win this game, Van der Sar will become The oldest player in Champions League history.

The four defenders are right back 20-Fabio, center back 5-Ferdinand and 15-Vidic, left back 3-Evra.

Four midfielders, 25-Valencia, 16-Carrick, 11-Gigs, 13-Park Ji-sung

Two forwards 10- Rooney, 14- Hernandez

Among Manchester United's starting players, the only unfamiliar face is Brazilian player Fabio No. 20. Many fans who are not familiar with Manchester United may not know who he is, but his twin brother must have heard of him even if he is not a Manchester United fan. It is Manchester United's left-back Rafael. Compared with Rafael, Fabio is versatile and has stronger attack power. In the Champions League, Ferguson hopes to strengthen the assists of the full-backs.

Although Nanigui is the player of the season selected by Manchester United players this season, his state in the recent period is obviously not as good as Valencia who has returned from injury, and the defensive ability of the Ecuadorians is not what Nani possesses, so this In the Champions League final, Nani only sat on the bench with Scholes.

In addition, Berbatov, the top scorer in the Manchester United team this season, was also pushed on the bench by Ferguson. Compared with the slow and handsome brother, Ferguson still believes in the spiritual Fernandez.

Arsenal's starting lineup goalkeeper 21 - Fabianski, four defenders 13 - Li Huan, 5 - Vermaelen, 6 - Koscielny, 22 - Clichy; three midfielders are 2 - Diaby , 4- Fabregas, 8- Nasri, three forwards, 14- Walcott; 23- Arshavin, 10- Van Persie.

Arsenal's 433 lineup was almost unchanged for a thousand years, but this time Diaby unexpectedly replaced Alexander.Song started his debut, and Nasri also replaced Wilshere.It is normal for Nasri to replace the young Wilshere. After all, Nasri has more experience. In such a world-class competition, Wenger believes in his compatriots more.But Diaby replaced Alexander.Song was really helpless, because the absolute main player Song accidentally twisted his ankle during training and had to withdraw temporarily. The appearance of the somewhat frizzy Diaby also added a lot of suspense to the game.The Arsenal fans off the field began to pray when they saw Diaby playing, hoping that the second master could play well and erect a barrier in front of the defender like Song.

"...The game is about to start. This is the sixth time that the British football mecca has hosted the European Champions Cup final. It was full. The two Premier League teams Arsenal and Manchester United reached the final. The Premier League won the Champions League trophy in advance. This is the glory of Arsenal and Manchester United, and it is also the glory of the Premier League. In the past five years, The Premier League has won the Premier League three times and won the championship and runner-up twice, such a great record can only be compared with that of Serie A..."

"There are many things to watch in this game. Of course, the biggest thing to watch is whether Arsenal may become the first team to defend the title after the restructuring. Judging from the current situation, it is possible for Arsenal to break the curse." Very, very big, but whether it breaks or not, it will be a classic because they are the Gunners and the Red Devils."

"force!"

The referee Kasai stood in the middle of the field and blew the whistle to start the game.

It was Arsenal who kicked off first. Van Persie tipped the ball to Walcott. Walcott passed the ball to Nasri in the midfield. Nasri continued to pass the ball backwards and handed it to Li Huan. .

At this time, Manchester United's players also quickly dispersed, advancing towards Arsenal's half in a zigzag shape.Evra and Valencia, in particular, all moved quickly to the midfield. Little Pea Fernandez also moved to Li Huan's right. Right from the start, he focused his attack on Li Huan's side. .

Most people can't understand Manchester United's approach. Fans have questioned whether this is Ferguson's tactical arrangement. The commentator and Arsenal players are observing whether it is true or Manchester United's feint.

Li Huan was also a little puzzled, thinking, did Ferguson suddenly lose his mind, didn't he know that his assists were very powerful?Li Huan boasted a bit, but because he didn't know what medicine was sold in Ferguson's gourd, he still passed the ball to central defender Vermaelen.

Vermaelen and Li Huan have been working together for a long time and understand Li Huan's meaning. Li Huan passed the ball to him instead of forward, or directly brought forward. This shows that Li Huan is not going to attack and wants him to throw the ball to the other side. Attack from the left.

The ball went from Vermaelen's feet to Fabregas's feet. Fabregas, who was in charge of distributing the ball, wanted to observe the situation on the field, but Manchester United did not want to give him this opportunity. Fabregas had just received the ball. Rooney rushed towards him like a small tank.

Few know Ferguson and Manchester United as well as Cesc Fabregas.So far, Cesc Fabregas has played against the "Red Devils" in the Premier League for 7 seasons, including the League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and Charity Shield.He is also very familiar with Rooney, knowing that Rooney, despite being short and fat, is actually very fast. Fabregas didn't want to lose possession of the ball, so he passed the ball back to Vermaelen again.

The little fat Rooney didn't stop. He passed Fabregas and went straight to Vermaelen to pounce. He pressed and attacked at the beginning of the game, and attacked Arsenal's strongest point. This is Ferguson's tactical arrangement before the game Rooney regards Ferguson as his father, and he obeys Ferguson's orders unconditionally, including letting him assist Ronaldo back then. Rooney has no complaints.

Rooney was not alone in Manchester United's press. When Rooney pressed Vermaelen, Park Sambo and Giggs also pressed forward, cutting off Vermaelen's forward pass and preventing Vermaelen from passing the ball again. Hand it over to Cesc Fabregas.

Although Rooney charged fiercely, Vermaelen didn't dare to use his big foot. He was worried that he would be unlucky and the ball would hit Rooney.Vermaelen still very cautiously passed the ball back to the goalkeeper again, allowing the goalkeeper Fabianski to kick.

Fabianski didn't open his feet either. As a member of a team like Arsenal, even the goalkeeper needs good passing skills and awareness. Fabianski passed the ball to Wu He hoped that Clichy could open a gap on the relatively empty left side.

Clichy is not considered a general. He has a lot of speed, but the full-back plays very conservatively. Not to mention being compared with Li Huan, he is even incomparable with Fabio who is facing him. After receiving the pass, he saw Park Sanlung rushed over like a desperate Saburo, and he still passed the ball to Walcott who was returning.

Walcott has already been targeted by Fabio and Giggs at the moment, and Clichy passed the ball to Walcott, which feels like letting his teammates go to the knife mountain.Walcott is not easy to hold the ball, and it is not easy to deal with it after he has the ball.

Walcott is young and energetic, although the situation is not good when receiving the ball, the passing route is blocked, only return pass or big foot forward.

Walcott is a bold man, and Arsenal's season-long winning streak made him a little confident. After seeing Fabio rushing over, he wanted to get past Fabio who seemed to be rushing fiercely, because After passing Fabio, there is a lot of space behind Fabio, and it is easy to take advantage of Walcott's speed.

Walcott dunked Fabio when Fabio was about to jump, but Fabio is not an easy person. Brazilian players are very flexible and conscious. In Walcott When dunking him, Fabio still touched the ball with his foot, causing the ball to deviate from Walcott's control.

Walcott wanted to adjust and continue to control the ball, but Giggs didn't give him the chance anymore. The veteran was like him cheating, with precise calculations and every stitch. Walcott's ball was farther away from his body. Gus came over with a sliding tackle and shoveled the ball directly out of Walcott's control range.

"Dangerous! Dangerous! Walcott is a bit overwhelmed, the ball is no longer within his control...not good! Park Ji-sung has arrived! It is very difficult for Walcott to foul, he can only watch United attacking in front of their own box."

Park Sanfei did not know when he appeared on the left side of Arsenal's penalty area again. The ball that Giggs tackled fell on Park Ji-sung's running line and was quickly caught by Park Ji-sung.Within two minutes of the opening, Manchester United made a steal in the frontcourt, forming an offensive situation.
