Chapter 370

The Champions League final, this must be a sleepless night, for many fanatical fans, this is their festival, everyone is ready to shout wildly on this night, as Italian and England fans of participating teams are more It's all out.

A week before the start of the game, there were already more and more English and Italians looking for tickets on the streets of Istanbul. Even if they couldn’t find the tickets, these fanatical guys planned to stick to the city , cheering for the team outside the field.

This fanatical mood did not make the two clubs feel any nervousness. On the contrary, it made the Turkish government feel like an enemy, especially in the attitude towards British fans. These Turks seemed a bit contradictory. More to activate the local economy.

I am also worried that there are fanatical saboteurs hidden among these English fans. After all, everyone knows that English football hooligans are powerful. If troubles arise, the security environment in Turkey will be greatly affected. If that happens, That's really not worth the candle.

In particular, the relationship between England and the Turks has become very bad since five years ago. When Galatasaray was playing against Leeds United at home, there were conflicts between fans on the street. Two England fans were stabbed to death in the street.

Although this is already five years ago, don't expect fans from both sides to forget this festival. A slight irritation may cause another conflict between fans of the two countries, and this does not include the verbal exchanges between British fans and Italian fans. Hot debate.

In the three or four days before the start of the decisive battle, at least two hundred or so fans of both sides were sent back to China because of their conflicts in public places, and it seems that this conflict has no possibility of stopping. No way, sometimes it is said If you don't accept the opponent, you can only use your fists.

Especially the English, they often call those Italians pussies. In their opinion, this group of very feminine guys are just like mothers. If they can't talk to each other, fists and wine glasses are the best. Weapons, although such retaliation looks violent.

Although English fans are often called football hooligans, some extreme Italian fans are not necessarily good people. It is not surprising that the rate of such skirmishes broke out between the two sides. The depressed people can only be those in Turkey. Police patrolling the streets.

However, this kind of surging fan group has brought a lot of economic benefits to Istanbul. The hotels with few people are almost full, and the bars and places to play are also filled with a lot of visitors. This may be the only good news.

It’s just that compared with these crazy fans, the two clubs are extremely quiet, even a little silent. Mourinho and Ancelotti have rejected many media interview requests a week before the game, and those players They all wisely chose to shut up.

This is a very sensitive moment. No one wants to cause any disturbance before the game. Even though Mourinho usually loves to quarrel with the opponent's coach, but now he also hopes that everything can be quieter. After all, this is a decisive battle and he needs to calm down Adjust everyone's competitive state.

Besides, bickering is not something to do at this time. Fighting in the air is meaningless. If you want to fight, wait for the pre-match press conference. There will be plenty of opportunities, but if you want to bully Ancelotti, who is not usually very combative, Not really a challenge.

At this moment, Mourinho misses an old man like Ferguson very much. It is only enough to have a verbal storm with such a tough old guy. Bickering with someone who is usually like a good old man is not the same as bullying. There is no difference, it is too non-confrontational.

Both Chelsea and AC Milan have chosen closed training methods to deal with media entanglement. Now even media reporters who are familiar with each other can hardly catch news from both teams, but the more this is the case, the newspapers Those words will fly in the sky.

Not only guessing the tactical arrangements of the head coaches of the two sides, but also the war of words between the newspapers and celebrities of the two countries has become extremely hot. When this kind of peak confrontation comes, no one is willing to take a step back, especially between such strong teams. dialogue, it will lead to more predictions and comments.

Lin Yi can now feel the atmosphere of a different Champions League decisive battle. Compared with last year when they met Monaco, this is a completely different level of competition, including the propaganda war in the newspapers, and there are endless new tricks. A wonderful one.

The coaches who coached the clubs of the two countries became the vanguard in this war of words. Although the coaches in the Premier League did not like Mourinho, they still stood on Chelsea's side against Serie A. Ferguson, in particular, believed that Chelsea would definitely win.

"We played directly against AC Milan so I know what those Italians can do on the pitch, maybe against Manchester United they could press in midfield, but that didn't work for Chelsea. Because those guys are tough."

Ferguson's remarks can be regarded as using personal experience to prove the strength of both sides from the side. The complete defeat of the two rounds against AC Milan obviously made the old man feel resentful, but what he said was not unreasonable. Chelsea's midfielder The confrontation ability is indeed stronger.

If AC Milan wants to rely solely on their possession and oppression to get Chelsea, then Ancelotti must have miscalculated. From the beginning of the season until now, no team has been able to control Chelsea, especially In midfield, the Blues strangled almost everything.

And after AC Milan was almost reversed by Eindhoven in the game, this kind of remarks seems to have found evidence. Many England coaches and columnists believe that Chelsea will not let their opponents suppress them, and even they have May control the lifeline of the midfield.

The Premier League coach and current football commentary columnist Strachan believes that Chelsea will definitely defeat AC Milan and then rule Europe. The conquest of Mourinho’s team cannot be stopped by Milan’s defense. Those Italians will definitely be there Crushing hand-to-hand combat.

In his column, Strachan believes that after seeing AC Milan's embarrassing performance in the match against Eindhoven, Chelsea should be obviously encouraged. They no longer need to be afraid of such an opponent. The opponent has the upper hand, but it is clear that Chelsea has the advantage in terms of confrontation. The Italians are playing very monotonously, and the team is also very old. Chelsea should follow the example of Eindhoven. The Dutch champions always take the initiative. Applying pressure so that the Milanese have no chance to breathe, Chelsea also has the ability to always press the opponent at a high pace.

There are not a few people in Strachan who have the same idea, especially many people believe that the current strength of Serie A has declined sharply, only Milan and Juventus can hold up the scene in the European war, and the rise of the Premier League is already a comprehensive Of course, Chelsea will be the representative of this.

Even a Frenchman like Wenger, who rarely speaks out, said in an interview, "I am optimistic about Chelsea. They can win the Champions League. The reason? It's very simple. The age structure of AC Milan determines their It's been a very tiring time period, and that's why."

Although Wenger didn't say much, this old guy hit the nail on the head. The AC Milan team, with an average age of 30, did have physical problems. There were so many fatal mistakes in Indhoven's confrontation.

There is not enough thickness of qualified substitutes, lack of rotation lineup, and AC Milan has always been catching up with Juventus in the league. Transferring them is really tired in the two-line battle, especially at the end of the season. Written on the faces of every AC Milan player.

Including Shevchenko said to the media after the thrilling promotion, I am too tired, I have not been rested in [-] games, this kind of exhaustion has probably made the invincible nuclear warhead feel weak legs, including the Italian media I also said that physical fitness is indeed a big hidden danger.

And this problem has never troubled Chelsea. In the last five rounds of the league, most of Chelsea's main players have had enough rest. Mourinho, who won the league championship ahead of schedule, has been saving his strength for the Champions League final. This advantage may Ancelotti is most envious.

However, in the last two rounds of the league, AC Milan has also carried out most of the main rotation. It can be seen that Ancelotti does not want to let his physical fitness hinder him. He will definitely adjust before the start of the Istanbul match The status of the main players in the team is coming to a decisive battle.

Compared with physical problems, Ancelotti is obviously more worried about how tough Chelsea's defense will be. He even doubts whether Mourinho will put himself in a pure iron bucket formation. , and then dragged on until the penalty shootout.

Although Ancelotti does not believe that Chelsea will give up the attack, the opponent's defense is indeed a headache for him. Who knows how to tear him apart. In the last week of training sessions, this Italian guy has been training The team's ability to break through dense defenses.

Damn training, this is what Ancelotti cursed in private, because he was very depressed to find that the Italian, who had always relied on defensive counterattacks, had to face a pervert who was better at this tactic than them this time. Can't help but be depressed to death.

However, compared with Ancelotti's depression, Mourinho seems very relaxed at the moment. All the tactical arrangements have basically been formed in his mind. What he needs to do now is to mobilize the players' emotions before the battle. For Chelsea, this is a rising battle.

If you want to be a giant, it's easy to do. Going to the court to destroy a giant is the easiest way. . .
