At 20:30 local time on the 27th in Italy, the Champions League final will begin at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Players from both teams appeared at the tunnel.
Su Dong saw Messi and others coming out and immediately greeted them.
"Hey, brother!" Su Dong smiled and opened his arms and hugged Messi.
Messi was also very happy and hugged Su Dong warmly.
Iniesta also came over, high-fived Su Dong, and hugged him warmly, not letting go for a long time.
Both of them are considered to be the players with the closest relationship with Su Dong in the current Barcelona team, and they are also Su Dong's best friends.
Although Xavi, Puyol and others have good relations with Soviet Union, after all, there are many barriers, especially Puyol.
In this game, he is the opponent Su Dong will face directly.
Another one is Pique.
Speaking of which, Pique is really interesting.
He came from a well-known local family in Barcelona and had a good family background. Just like Cesc Fabregas when he switched to Arsenal, Pique also hoped to make a career at Manchester United. However, the combination of Vidic and Ferdinand was too strong, and Ferguson could only
Rent him.
He played well in La Liga, but it was difficult to get opportunities at Manchester United, so Pique returned to Barcelona.
Under the guidance of Mourinho this season, Pique has firmly established himself as the main force in Barcelona's defense.
Tonight, Valdes is in goal, with Abidal, Pique, Puyol and Alves forming the backline.
Seydou Keita, Xavi, Yaya Toure and Iniesta partnered in the midfield, while Eto'o and Messi formed the striker.
As Heynckes expected, Mourinho adopted a 4-4-2 formation.
The dark and hard midfield of Seydou Keita and Yaya Toure can improve Barcelona's midfield thickness and interception ability. At the same time, these two players have good footwork to cope with Barcelona's midfield passing and ball control.
It's still ok.
…
Su Dong was very happy to see his old friend again.
He, Messi and Iniesta were all at the end of the queue, and the three of them were talking and laughing.
And Su Dong found an opportunity to ask Messi if he wanted to help him teach Pique a lesson?
This is what Messi said to Su Dong back then, but later Pique went to Manchester United. Su Dong never had the chance to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, they would now meet in the Champions League final. What Messi never expected was that Pique is now
His teammate, and Su Dong became his opponent.
Therefore, Messi could only scratch his head in embarrassment and tell Su Dong not to take it seriously and just play it leisurely.
"You have already won several Champions Leagues, let me win one too!" Messi said with an expression like "You have to be loyal, brother".
Su Dong chuckled, "Want the Champions League? Let's see if you have the ability!"
The three of them chatted about many things, but none of them had anything to do with the finals.
For example, Messi is starting to expand his mansion. He plans to sell Su Dong's villa and the one he bought originally, merge the two villas into one, and then hire a designer to redesign a larger villa.
mansion.
"Wow, this is a big project, you have become prosperous recently!" Su Dong said with a smile.
Messi is now considered a global superstar and a player that Barcelona values and his salary has soared after the contract extension. It is more than enough to expand the villa. He is no longer the rookie who needed to borrow money from Su Dong to buy a house.
But whether it is Messi or Iniesta, they all still remember the help Su Dong gave them back then.
Of course, personal friendship is one thing, but when it comes to football matches, they are still life-and-death rivals.

In Rome's Olympic Stadium, the temperature was 23 degrees Celsius, the humidity was 71, and there were 67,467 fans present.
The stands were crowded with guests.
In addition to UEFA President Platini and a group of UEFA senior officials, Spanish King Juan Carlos and Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero came to the scene to cheer for Barcelona. German Chancellor Merkel also brought government officials.
I came to Rome to cheer for Bayern Munich, and together with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and other government officials, the scene was filled with political and business celebrities.
The organizer also specially arranged a short but grand performance based on the theme of the city of Rome. The protagonist was Jupiter, the king of ancient Roman gods who was clad in thunder and lightning.
When the performing dancers gathered in the middle of the stadium, two huge team flags were lifted above their heads, slowly entered the stadium, and lined up on both sides of the stadium, while the blind Italian tenor Bocelli began to sing "Gladiator"
theme song.
Models in full attire walked into the stadium holding big ear cups.
The scene immediately erupted into thunderous applause and cheers.
After Bocelli finished singing the "Gladiator" theme song, he immediately started singing the Champions League theme song.
Players from the two teams slowly walked into the Olympic Stadium amid Bocelli's singing.
Thunderous cheers suddenly erupted in the stadium, and the pre-match atmosphere was heightened to the extreme.
The atmosphere of the finals is about to begin!
…………
…………
Goalkeeper Neuer, the defense is Marcelo, Pepe, Lucio and Lahm, the midfield is Mascherano in the back, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Modric are in the middle, and Ribe is in the frontcourt.
The combination of Li, Su Dong and Robben.
Like Barcelona, Bayern also had a well-organized team this time, with all the main players in the lineup.
Players such as Klose and Toni Kroos are sitting on the bench, ready to play at any time.
After Mourinho shook hands with Heynckes politely, he could not help but frown when he returned to his coaching bench.
No matter how confident he sounded in front of the media before the game, deep down, he knew very well that Bayern did have a slight advantage.
The key lies in Su Dong.
In fact, even now, he is not sure that the team can restrain Su Dong.
This is something no one can do!
In the past so many years, which team dares to say that it can freeze Su Dong?
The answer is, no!
If Su Dong can't be restrained, how will the game be played?
This is almost a big problem facing all Bayern opponents. Even if you think about it more deeply, Su Dong's goal is a high probability. That is to say, any team must consider Su Dong when facing Bayern.
What to do if you score a goal?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's difficult to deal with!" Mourinho said distressedly.
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he ultimately failed to find an effective way to restrain Su Dong.
Therefore, he can only rely on the players' on-the-spot performance.
Puyol is not as tall as Su Dong, and Pique can compete with Su Dong, but can he succeed?
…………
…………
On the court, the players from the two teams lined up in a row. After taking a group photo, the Bayern players walked past the Barcelona players one after another and shook hands one by one.
When Su Dong came to Pique and reached out to hold Pique's hand, the Barcelona central defender smiled provocatively at Su Dong.
"I have heard about you for many years, and I have always been eager to compete with you. Tonight, I will prove to everyone that I am the strongest central defender in the world!"
Su Dong felt it was new. After so many years, it seemed like this was the first time he encountered someone provoking him like this in person.
"Are you so confident?" Su Dong couldn't help but think of Messi's evaluation of him back then.
Pique raised his head and showed his chin, "In a word, I can guard the forwards that others can guard, and I can guard the forwards that others cannot guard even better. There is no strongest, only stronger. This is me, Gerrard.
Pique!”
arrogant!
So proud!
Su Dong even wondered if this boy felt that he was the hero of this novel?
How come you are so attracted to someone as if you are worth thirty-five or eighty thousand as soon as they meet?
Who gave you the courage?
"It's interesting. I hope your strength is as good as your eloquence." Su Dong smiled.
The two shook hands in a hurry, and no one else noticed anything. Only the people around them could hear the conversation they just had.
"Gerald, I don't think you should provoke him."
After going through the process, they returned to their own half. Captain Puyol went to guess with Bayern captain Lahm, and Iniesta frowned and said to Pique.
"Why?" Pique asked curiously.
"I understand Su Dong. Although he is peaceful and arrogant at heart, if you provoke him like this, it will only make him more in shape and fighting spirit, which is not a good thing." Iniesta complained.
A Su Dong who performs normally is already difficult enough. If Su Dong performs abnormally again, will Barcelona still survive?
Unexpectedly, Pique burst out laughing after hearing this.
"I just want him to perform better, so that I can show my strength. Through this game, I want to completely shatter Su Dong's so-called myth and let everyone know that he is no longer invincible, because I
Able to freeze him!"
Iniesta looked at Pique as if he were a fool. He thought, did this kid have a brain convulsion?
I knew he was usually a little arrogant, but I didn't know he was so arrogant.
Could it be that Portuguese madman who gave you the courage?
Who is Su Dong? Do I need to say more?
But as a teammate, Iniesta didn't say many words, but he was even more worried.
He had a close relationship with Su Dong, so he knew Su Dong's character.
Nowadays, the more polite Su Dong is and the more he smiles, it just proves that he is more energetic.
Although Su Dong plays very well on weekdays, in fact, he is definitely a competition-type player.
The more important the game, the more critical the moment, and the more he is challenged and stimulated, the better he will perform.
It is irrational for Pique to provoke Su Dong at this time!
…
"That boy is so crazy! He dares to challenge you in person!"
Pepe was standing in front of Su Dong just now and heard the conversation between the two clearly. After returning to his own half, he looked at Su Dong with a smile, as if he wanted to see his deflated expression.
Su Dong was noncommittal, "It's better to be a little wilder. Professional players need to be confident."
Just when Pepe was surprised that Su Dong had changed his gender, Su Dong changed the subject.
"Seeing that he is so confident makes me feel relieved, and I don't have much psychological burden if I abuse him."
Pepe was secretly amused that this was the Su Dong he knew.
At that moment, while Lahm and Puyol were guessing, Barcelona won the right to kick off.
This caused a burst of warm applause from the Barcelona fans at the scene, as if they had taken the lead.
Barcelona, which is good at controlling the ball, won the right to kick off and indeed took a slight advantage.
But Bayern was already prepared for this.
When the whistle sounded at the beginning of the game and Messi kicked the ball to Eto'o, Sudong quickly sprinted forward.
Seeing Eto'o's knock back, Su Dong's speed did not slow down and he went straight to Barcelona's midfield and even the back line.
