The press conference before the game did not have the swords and swords and the smell of gunpowder permeating the whole city, but this did not prevent those reporters with unlimited IQ and integrity to find topics on their own, from the lineups of the two teams, tactics, to the status of the players, and finally even
The tidbits about the players began to be served. Fortunately, the players of the two teams did not have an unexpected encounter with some tall and sexy beauties in the beautiful country of Moscow, otherwise they would be caught by the dedicated paparazzi.
We found another troublesome thing.
In the afternoon, fans have begun to enter the stadium one after another. For this game, probably well-known England fans came to Moscow from the UK to cheer for their team. However, not everyone will be lucky enough to get one.
Those who did not get tickets could only cheer for the team on the outside of the stadium along with the fans who were lucky enough to get tickets under the surveillance of the Moscow police who were on the verge of a formidable enemy.
In fact, the local fans in Russia were not allocated many tickets, probably less than 1, including one bought by Abramovich with his own money. The local fans in Moscow were very dissatisfied with receiving such few tickets. In the market
The price of a game ticket has exceeded the annual salary of a working-class person, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary families.
In addition, this stadium has also been criticized for a long time. The Luzhchini Stadium was originally an artificial turf. In the European Cup qualifiers, the England team suffered a big loss here. After losing the life-and-death battle, they missed the European Cup. No wonder it turned into a turf in the Champions League final.
After the Premier League became a civil war, some people would propose to move the final to Wembley. Since FIFA and UEFA have clearly stipulated that the final of official matches must be played on natural turf, the Luzhchini Stadium had to rush before the final.
Replace the turf. Although this work has been completed on time, it seems that the quality of the turf is not very good. Players on both sides feel very bad when adapting to the field. Of course, it is too late to improve now. It can only be done in this way.
The final, which attracted worldwide attention, was held on the lawn.
Grant has arranged a strange starting lineup for this game. Goalkeeper Cech still wears a helmet and Essien serves as left back. His only purpose is to limit Manchester United's flourishing Ronaldo on the right. This sharpest spear and
The direct battle between the strongest shields should be an important factor that can determine the outcome of this game; the combination of Terry and Carvalho is still in the middle. This is a problem without harmony. If the two players are not injured,
Then starting together should be the best choice. If Manchester United has a high forward, then Alex may have a chance to play. However, neither Tevez nor Lu Xiaopang, the two players on Manchester United's front line, is over 1 meter tall.
8 is completely useless, so the conservative Grant still chose this pair of central defenders. Grant did not arrange too much strength in the midfield. Obviously he did not want to tangle with Manchester United in the midfield. Lampard
, the partnership between Ballack and Makelele requires intensity and defense, but the organization is really unsatisfactory. The forward is a combination of Joe Cole, Drogba and Malouda. The original two full-backs directly
Speaking of the forward line, Grant needs to use the two players' ability to cut inside and press in the frontcourt. It is safest to burn the flames of war in the opponent's half.
For Manchester United, veteran Edwin van der Sar is guarding the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper position is really getting better as he gets older. The Dutch veteran is really in the second spring of his life. His form is close to that of the world's top goalkeepers such as Petr Cech and Saint Cassie.
Manchester United's defense can make Manchester United's defense impregnable; Evra and Brown are separated on the left and right, and Ferdinand and Vidic partner as central defenders. In the Premier League, there are not many central defenders who can compete with Drogba in physical terms.
Dicky is one of them. If Vidic's defense reflects the toughness, then Ferdinand's performance goes to the other extreme. As the current captain of the Three Lions, the 20-year-old Ferdinand has already improved his playing style.
They are becoming increasingly mature, and the defensive understanding between the two is also very commendable; the midfielders Ronaldo and Hargreaves are responsible for the two wings, Scholes and Carrick cooperate in the center, and Rooney and Tevez are on the strikers.
combination.
The prince appeared on the bench as expected. In fact, Chelsea did not do a good job of keeping secrets. Before the game, everyone knew that the prince's injury would not allow him to play, but they did not expect that Grant would still use him.
Is he included in the squad to be a mascot? Anyway, Ferguson did not consider the existence of the prince when arranging tactics.
After the game started, both teams were cautious. On such an important occasion, both sides would definitely focus on defense first. Only by not conceding a goal can they prepare for the next attack. This is a consensus, so both sides were still tentatively attacking at this stage of the game.
, and there is no direct fight with real swords and guns.
The first team to make an effort was Chelsea. The midfielder used a few simple moves to distribute the ball to the wing where there was a lot of space. Malouda made a breakthrough on the left, but unfortunately the cross was deflected by the Manchester United defense. Vidi
Qi and Ferdinand are both defenders with excellent headers. This kind of easy cross ball is difficult to threaten Manchester United's goal.
In the 6th minute, Manchester United also tried to attack once, and the first shot of the game also appeared. Hargreaves's pass-like lob from the right was caught by Cech, without any threat.
The pace of both teams seemed very slow. Manchester United had the advantage of possession in the first minute of the game, but there was basically no threat to the ball. The two teams had very few offenses that could reach the opponent's penalty area. Manchester United's
The offense relies more on Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese, who has gradually become the world's number one star under Sir Alex Ferguson's personal training, has now become Manchester United's sharpest weapon. His condition is related to Manchester United's victory and success.
no.
During the opening period, Cristiano Ronaldo followed Sir Alex Ferguson's tactical arrangements in a regular manner. He mostly broke through and passed the ball from the wing. There was no room for his personal cutting and shooting. In the 16th minute
, he made a successful breakthrough on the left and then passed the ball down. The ball was very fast and the landing point was good. Unfortunately, Hargreaves, who followed up in the middle, failed to hit the ball from the back point. Although this attack failed to score a goal
, but it also scared the Chelsea people into cold sweats. The one who joined the outflanking in the middle was not the unreliable Hargreaves. If replaced by someone with a slightly stronger header, it would be a huge threat to Cech.
, maybe Chelsea will fall behind right after the start.
Gradually, Manchester United's offense became stronger. After a tentative attack at the beginning, the Red Devils started their own offensive mode. Due to the small number of Chelsea players, the midfield was gradually controlled by Manchester United. In this way, the football was at the feet of the Red Devils.
Constantly passing the ball to look for holes in Chelsea's defense that may appear at any time.
Manchester United received consecutive set kicks in the 1st minute. Unfortunately, there was no suitable position to hit the goal directly. Ronaldo's genuine elevator free kick had no place to play and could only be dismissed in front of the goal. Cech was very interested in this kind of high-altitude free kick.
The ball was grasped very well, and all the first points were in hand, without giving Manchester United a chance to attack the goal.
The game gradually became more intense, and the heated atmosphere made the players on both sides unable to restrain their emotions. In the first minute, Scholes elbowed Makelele during an aerial battle. Both of them fell to the ground and attracted the attention of the crowd.
Surrounded by teammates. In fact, it is rare for players from both sides to fight each other on the court. Even this kind of surrounding situation is rare. However, the prince felt that he was really destined to rush into these courts, so he
In less than a season, he has experienced such hot and exciting scenes many times, and has also experienced the addiction himself several times. Therefore, he has been criticized by fans for being violent and barbaric. In fact, it is quite unjust. Is it possible to have to do this even if he has been wronged?
What kind of logic is it to bear it, after being slapped on the left cheek, you have to bring the right cheek up for another slap? How can you endure it? Not necessarily. But the prince still has martial arts to protect himself.
I have suffered a loss in this regard. Of course, I still have to accept punishment after the game. This is unavoidable.
Regarding the irrational behavior of the players, the referee gave the two players a yellow card as a warning. Although Makelele, a French tough guy, is not young, his body is still strong. Just now
In the chaotic situation, he was unscathed. Poor Scholes didn't know where his nose touched and the blood started to flow. He went off the field to be treated. Not long after, he returned to the battle with his nostrils blocked. He was extremely tenacious.
After the game restarted, the players on both sides acted much more disciplinedly, and the scene looked better.
In the 6th minute, the first threatening shot finally appeared in the game, and it was this threatening shot that led to the goal. Manchester United played a corner kick, and Scholes suddenly handed the ball to Brown, who was approaching.
Pulling outwards and passing the ball from the corner of the penalty area, Cristiano Ronaldo headed the ball to the far post and succeeded in the near corner. Essien, who was marking him, didn't know whether it was because his head was showing off or something, but he didn't take off and looked at Cristiano Ronaldo like a passerby.
Ronaldo easily headed the ball into the gate guarded by Cech. 1-, Manchester United took the lead to break the balance. This was Ronaldo's 8th goal in the Champions League this season. The Portuguese was extremely excited and ran to the stands where the Red Devils fans were.
Celebrate venting and kissing the Manchester United crest.
Of course, his action is not meaningless. The Spanish media has been reporting on the news that Cristiano Ronaldo will transfer to Real Madrid in the summer, which has caused quite a stir. He is using this celebration to
Tell everyone, "Look, I love Manchester United and I will not leave Manchester United.".
