The strongest winger

Chapter 1109 "Like a Stranger"

When the players of both sides walked from their respective locker rooms to the player tunnel to assemble, the on-site director also switched the camera to this place, and the fans watching the live TV could clearly see the players coming out one by one, divided into two rows.

The players of Valencia and Real Madrid are very familiar with each other, and many of the two teams are teammates of the national team. However, this annual Champions League final made them temporarily put aside the so-called compatriot friendship. They have no communication with each other, just like strangers.

They regarded each other as air, but the commentators in the on-site commentary booth did not regard them as air, but analyzed the upcoming Champions League final, some explained the starting lineups of both sides, and some commentators discussed the past records of the two teams.

At the same time, in the four stands of the Stadium of Light, the fans of both sides could not wait to burst into loud cheers. Even before the players entered the field, their voices broke through the geographical boundaries and flooded into the passageway overwhelmingly.

The spirits of many players were lifted, especially the players of Real Madrid. In order to prepare for this Champions League final, they even voluntarily gave up the league when they had the chance to win the league championship, so this final is not for them.

Standing at the back of the team, the head star Cristiano Ronaldo held his head high and kept his eyes fixed on him. Even though countless cameras in the player tunnel were aimed at him, there was no reaction. His eyes... only had the desire to fight.

In addition, Chinese international Zhang Linpeng, who will be playing against Ai Luo in this game, is also full of passion. As the most powerful right back in Europe in the past, he has no good way to face the national team captain Ai Luo, which makes him feel a little ashamed.

Therefore, under the background that the team as a whole hopes to win the championship, Zhang Linpeng really wants to prove himself!
The Valencia players standing in the left row think relatively simply. They have been the kings of Europe for the past three seasons. Their self-confidence is extremely sufficient, and their advantages are still relatively obvious.

Winning is a matter of course, and only losing will become news, so what the Valencia players have to do is to continue their glory.

As a king, you should have the attitude of a king.

Since Real Madrid players have no intention of taking the initiative, why should they lower their stance?

The two different mentalities disappointed the media who paid attention to the dynamics of the player channel...

At this time, there is undoubtedly only one person in the focus of everyone's attention.

That was the captain of Valencia, Aiello. He stood first in the queue on the left, with his high head slightly upwards, and a confident smile on his lips, as if the next one was not a final, but the most common friendly match.

However, not many people know that deep down in Ai Luo's heart is to play every game as a final, otherwise he would not be so successful. At his golden age of 28, he won the honor that countless players could only dream of...

The referee looked at his watch, and then waved his hand. The four referees and the players from both sides followed behind him and walked towards the court.

Accompanied by the background music of the UEFA Champions League theme song "Champion Europe", players from both sides stepped onto the pitch.

When the fans of both sides in the stands saw the referee team coming out, they broke out the first wave of cheers before the start of the game.

But this time the opening ceremony was a little different. After the players stood in a straight line, a Portuguese female singer entered the court from the side and hummed along with the melody of the live broadcast.

At the same time, the narrators in the on-site commentary also began to introduce the starting players of both sides in the final, from names to numbers, to height, weight...

In addition, the broadcaster displayed on the screen the formations of both sides in the final and the positions of the starting players.

In the player channel, players from both sides did not communicate with each other, so the handshake before the game became the only contact between the two teams.

After the narrators in the on-site commentary had finished introducing the players of both sides, the captains of both sides had already come to the Dutch referee Kupels in the final, which meant that the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final was getting closer...

It is worth mentioning that the referee who enforced this final is very familiar with the Chinese and Spanish internationals who appeared at the Stadium of Light. In last year's Confederations Cup final, it was the referee of this final.

Therefore, Ai Luo took the initiative to greet the referee Kupels and leave a good impression on the referee.

However, it was not a good impression for Casillas, because they lost to the Chinese team led by Aiello in the Confederations Cup final last year!

※※※

Casillas beat Aiello in coin guessing, but the win was of no use, as Valencia, who got the kick-off, had the upper hand, as the Champions League final on a neutral ground affected both sides equally.

So Casillas chooses the side where his teammates are.

After the side selection was over, Aiello and Casillas were sandwiched between the referee Kupels and took a group photo.

Immediately, they returned to their respective halfs, stood in line with the pre-match formation, and waited for the final whistle to sound.

In addition, the fans of both sides and the neutral fans in the stands held their breath, and the sound of the scene gradually decreased to the lowest level, as if the volume was turned to the lowest level.

"The players on both sides are standing in their respective halfs. The 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final is about to begin. I believe that the fans sitting in front of the TV can't wait for the game to start, but we have to wait a little longer because...the referee hasn't blown his whistle yet."

The on-site director switched the camera to the middle of the field. Valencia captain Aiello stepped on the football, Cavani stood beside him, players from both sides stood in their positions, and the referee Kupels also put his whistle in his mouth. Guest commentator Xu Yang in the commentary said jokingly.

"--beep!!"

Two seconds later, the Dutch referee Kupels blew his whistle.

"CCTV, CCTV, viewers and friends, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final. The defending champion played against Real Madrid. The match has now begun. Valencia is wearing a white traditional jersey. They attack from the right to the left of the camera. Real Madrid wears a black away jersey. They attack from the left to the right of the camera..."

Accompanied by the referee's whistle, CCTV commentator He Wei uttered the traditional CCTV commentary lines like a conditional launch.

At the same time, more than 6 fans burst into loud cheers, cheering for the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final!
