584 Can you endure being stabbed in the back by a good brother?
This is an unprecedented Champions League final!
In order to take care of the global broadcast, the game was scheduled to be held at 22:45 in the evening.
In other words, this game will be completed on the 21st and 22nd. This is the first time in history that this kind of Champions League final will be played on two days.
Due to the peculiarity of the delayed kick-off time, the organizers and UEFA arranged a large number of fan activities before the game, including opening a luxurious Bayern and Manchester United fan area outside the Luzhniki Stadium to avoid conflicts between fans of the two teams.
conflict, and at the same time, it also mobilizes the atmosphere for the fans at the scene in advance.
But in the evening, it suddenly started to rain in Moscow.
This rain has long been foreshadowed, and the weather forecast has predicted that this season's Champions League final is likely to turn into a rainy battle.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Bayern players took the familiar team bus and set off from the hotel. They watched the fans walking in the rain along the way and arrived at the Luzhniki Stadium, where they were warmly welcomed by Bayern fans.
When the players got ready in the locker room and walked into the stadium to start training, they found that the area where fans from both teams were concentrated was already filled with enthusiastic fans.
As usual, Bayern got the home team draw, so they will wear red jerseys, while Manchester United got the away team draw, so they will wear white jerseys. But what is surprising is that the stands where the Manchester United fans are sitting are all wearing the away team jerseys.
White.
This has to impress people with the loyalty and enthusiasm of Premier League fans, as well as the team's fan organization ability.
Bayern fans formed a red square, with countless Bayern flags waving in the hands of fans, while almost every Manchester United fan had a scarf. It is said that many people took out commemorative scarves from when Manchester United reversed Bayern in 1999.
Fans of both teams were singing to each other, both wanting to suppress their opponents.
The big screen at the scene also deliberately created this kind of confrontation, constantly switching screens to show the provocative actions of the fans of the two teams on the big screen, so that the fans of the other team could see it more clearly, which further ignited the atmosphere in the stadium.

…
Su Dong wore a long-sleeved training suit provided by his sponsor and ran back and forth on the court. From time to time he rushed to catch passes from his teammates and occasionally took a kick to see if his footwork tonight was smooth.
For this competition, he had carefully prepared for more than twenty days, and there was no room for error.
Occasionally, I look back and look at the Manchester United half in the distance. They also seem to be preparing for the game.
Ronnie looked very active. After completing a wonderful long-range shot, he won warm applause from the fans at the scene. He did not forget to turn his head and look at Su Dong.
Su Dong immediately smiled and gave him a thumbs up. The Portuguese raised his right hand and smiled from ear to ear.
This guy deserves praise!
Just praise him a little, and his tail will rise high in the air!
This is also the reason why Su Dong deliberately did not fight back before the game, just to boost this kid's arrogance.
"He seems to be very excited tonight, you two should be careful." Su Dong walked towards Pepe and Lucio.
Both of them immediately looked at Ronnie in the Manchester United half-court, their expressions a little solemn.
Today's Ronnie is no longer the Ronnie he was in Sporting Lisbon. His physical fitness has improved greatly.
Although football players need skills with their feet, their body is the foundation.
Without a good body, no matter how good your skills are, you won't be able to perform well.
Lucio and Pepe are undoubtedly very capable central defenders in singles, and their bodies are also very good, but it is not necessarily possible to guard Ronnie, because the Portuguese has excellent speed and explosive power, and his skills with his feet are also quite good.
.
"Don't worry, this kid is very promiscuous. If you hold on, he will become anxious." Su Dong said with a smile.
He knows Ronnie better than anyone else, and naturally he also knows Ronnie's character.
Pepe and Lucio both nodded, this is indeed an effective countermeasure.
…
"Hey Sue!"
Before taking the field, in the tunnel, players from both teams were waiting to play.
When Ronnie saw Su Dong, he immediately greeted him with open arms.
"Ha, buddy!" Su Dong hugged him warmly.
Pepe also came up and hugged Ronnie.
Ronnie also noticed Marcelo next to Su Dong and pointed provocatively at the Brazilian left back.
Heynckes speculated before the game that Manchester United's offense would definitely focus on attacking Bayern's left, so Ronnie is likely to appear on the right, which is the position he is most familiar with and plays most.
Now that Ronnie is provoking Marcelo, this is undoubtedly confirmed.
"How are you preparing?" Ronnie asked Xiang Su Dong with concern.
Su Dong smiled and said, "It wasn't very good at first, but you said that in the media before, and now you are provoking my teammates in front of me. I am very angry now."
"Angry?" Ronnie also smiled, "That's right, I just want to anger you, then defeat you and win the game!"
This is what he said when he won the World Footballer of the Year award. He hoped to defeat Sudong in an honest manner.
When the Manchester United players saw Su Dong coming out, many of them took the initiative to come over and say hello to him.
This is the first time Su Dong has met Vidic.
how to say?
Really strong!
How strong is it?
He made Manchester United fans completely forget about Stam!
He successfully froze the African elephant king Didier Drogba!
Vidic and Ferdinand won the championship last season. This season, they are known as the strongest central defender combination in the history of the Premier League. They don't even have one behind them, which shows how powerful they are.
But it's interesting to say that Vidic is a Serbian central defender, but his characteristics are very similar to those of a traditional English central defender.
He has super strong strength and impact, super frontal defense and high ball defense capabilities, but the shortcomings are similar, that is, his turning speed is slow, but the slowness here is also compared to the top central defenders.
Ferdinand is an Englishman, but he is the English central defender who least resembles an English central defender.
Even though he has black ancestry and is tall, his height, strength, heading, frontal defense, etc. are indeed very good, but his most powerful thing is his footwork and awareness, whether it is the instigation of the back line.
Whether it's attacking or organizing defense, Ferdinand is excellent at both.
To put it simply, Ferdinand is the marshal and Vidic is the warrior.
As strong as Drogba, he can't get any benefit from these two central defenders.
Behind them, in front of the goal, stood Edwin van der Sar, who was tall and long-armed and had superb goal-line skills.
These are the two major factors that have allowed Manchester United to sweep across Europe in the past two years.
The defense depends on them, and the scoring depends on Ronnie!
"How do you feel?" Ronnie put his arm around Su Dong's shoulders and asked with a smile.
Manchester United's defense is better than Bayern's, even in the midfield.
Su Dong looked at Ferdinand and Vidic with a smile, not afraid at all, "I'm very excited now."
"oh?"
"I'm looking forward to seeing how strong the central defender combination is that can defeat Drogba. I hope I won't be disappointed!" Su Dong showed no fear.
"I hope you won't let us down!" Vidic said harshly.
…………
…………
After a brief performance, players from both teams ran onto the court one after another.
Soon, Su Dong and everyone at Bayern realized something was wrong.
Bayern's lineup is 4231, the goalkeeper is Kahn, the defense is Marcelo, Pepe, Lucio and Lahm, the double midfielder is Bastian Schweinsteiger, Mascherano, Modric
In the center, in the frontcourt are Ribery, Sudong and Robben.
This is actually no surprise, because this is Bayern's strongest lineup.
Manchester United's lineup is also not surprising.
The goalkeeper is Edwin van der Sar, the defense is Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic and Wes Brown, the midfielder is Hargreaves and Carrick at the back, Scholes is up front, and Cristiano
Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez form a trident.
The lineup has not changed, but Ronnie's position is a bit surprising.
He did not appear on the right as Heynckes expected, but went to the left.
As early as during Sporting Lisbon, Ronnie was capable of playing on both sides, but when he arrived at Manchester United, he played more on the right, but later also appeared on the left, and there is a difference between playing on the left and playing on the right.
The right wing is more about breakthroughs and crosses from the wing, as well as diagonal insertions behind the penalty area, but he has an additional skill on the left wing, which is to take the ball from the left wing and cut in and then kick. On the left side of the front edge of the penalty area, his kick
Knocking on the door is very threatening.
It can be said that this is the area where he is best at scoring.
Tevez is very fierce, but when it comes to sharpness, Ronnie is the sharpest.
Now it seems that Ferguson has placed the sharpest Ronnie on Bayern's right. Is this to suppress Lahm?
…
Manchester United made slight adjustments to their formation, and Bayern also did not rest on its laurels.
Heynckes has also made adjustments in the midfield. Bastian Schweinsteiger is positioned further forward and Mascherano is deeper, which makes Bayern look like a four-three-three formation.
This is not without reason, because Heynckes asked Bastian Schweinsteiger and Modric to suppress Carrick, and even assisted Sudong and the front three to force Manchester United's defense.
Both teams made targeted adjustments, which also caused some confusion for their opponents.
…
After the game started, both teams played more cautiously.
Bayern and Manchester United are more familiar with the rhythm of the game and their opponents, and at the same time they are also pondering their opponents' tactics.
When masters compete with each other, there is really no need to face life and death as soon as they come up.
Especially teams like Bayern and Manchester United, which are known for their stability, don't need to do this.
Both Ferguson and Heynckes are good at striking from behind.
The prerequisite is to first understand your opponent's strategies and routines.
This made the game a bit dull, and neither side even completed the kick, which was indeed very surprising.
But after ten minutes, both teams gradually became familiar with each other.
Manchester United took the lead and had the upper hand on the scene, especially from the two wings. They sent two crosses directly, but they were cleared by Lucio and Pepe's headers and failed to pose a threat.
Rooney and Tevez can't get any benefit from Bayern's two central defenders.
But soon, Ronnie couldn't stand it anymore. After he got the ball on the right, he started to lead the way near the center line and drove straight in. He wanted to kill Lahm directly, but Lahm blocked the inside and the Portuguese suddenly spiked the ball.
, want to cut inside.
But as soon as he spiked the ball and made an emergency stop, Su Dong, who was returning to defense, took a decisive step and knocked him to the ground with the ball.
The whole stadium screamed in surprise.
The on-site commentators all screamed.
"Ronnie is probably going to be angry now! Can he bear it when his good brother stabs him in the back?
