On the morning of May 20, on this rather romantic day, all members of Chelsea set off on a plane to Moscow, Russia.

In the afternoon, players from Manchester United and Chelsea arrived at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow to adapt to the final stadium in advance for tomorrow's final.

The Manchester United team moved faster. After arriving at the Luzhniki Stadium first, coach Ferguson directly attended the pre-match press conference that day. While Ferguson was talking to reporters, at the Luzhniki Stadium, under the watchful eyes of the media, Sky Sports broadcast cameras and fans in front of the TV, Manchester United players began to jog and relax in the field. warm up.

After the warm-up, the Manchester United players played a game of hoops. Ronaldinho was very active and kept passing and knocking the ball with his heels and insteps, which frequently caused exclamations from reporters on the sidelines.

"Ronaldo leads the Champions League scorer list with seven goals. The media have made predictions that there is a very high possibility that this year's Ballon d'Or will be given to Ronaldinho. Before that, Ronaldinho's A strong competitor is Barcelona's Messi, but Barcelona's record this year is not ideal, which will largely affect the final voting choices of national team coaches and media reporters. "

But when it comes to the future winner of the Ballon d'Or, I think if Endritt leads the team to win the championship in this year's European Cup, then Endritt will directly become a strong competitor for Ronaldinho. I think as long as they all watch Endritt's game carefully, then the national team will win. Coaches and reporters will not hesitate to vote for Endrit.

"No, no, your expectations are still too high. It is very difficult for a goalkeeper to win the Ballon d'Or." Except for Yashin who won the Ballon d'Or in 1963, no other goalkeeper has ever won this honor. Even if Endrit is only nominated this year, he is still a modern goalkeeper in modern football. " A very big improvement."

"If Chelsea wins the final in tomorrow's final, no media in the world can deny the fact that Endrit is the number one goalkeeper in the game."

The topic immediately went off topic. The director looked at the rising ratings and had no intention of stopping it. So after Ferguson left the press conference and rushed to the Luzhniki Stadium, the commentators' topic returned to Manchester United. .

At the Luzhniki Stadium, the Manchester United coaching staff gathered the players and handed them vests, allowing them to conduct a very brief sprint training on the court.

After the sprint training, Manchester United staged a team match on the second half of the pitch - it was said to be a game, but in fact it was almost like a game. With so many media present, how could Ferguson let the outside world know what Manchester United will do tomorrow? Kick?

The Manchester United players at the scene were divided into two teams. The ones wearing red vests were Manchester United's main center back and striker combination. Rooney and Tevez stood on the striker, and goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. On the defense, Sylvester, Ferdinand, Brown and Hargreaves line up from left to right, while the three midfielders are Park Ji-sung, Anderson and Fletcher.

The yellow team that was fighting against the red team was Manchester United's wing players. Ronaldinho and Nani, two Portuguese players, stood at the front, one on the left and one on the right. Behind them, the three midfielders were positioned in the same position. In a small triangle shape, Saha stands at the front, Scholes and Giggs are on the left and right, echoing Ronaldinho and Nani in the frontcourt.

Evra, Evra, O'Shea and Carrick on the yellow team's defense are not inferior at all compared to the red team's defense. The only weakness is probably that their yellow team's goalkeeper Kussack is not as good as his opponent. Van der Sar's.

Of course, in addition to these people, the young player Piqué was ordered to be a maverick, wearing a green vest and participating in the attacks of both sides as a free man.

When the belated Chelsea players arrived at the scene, what they saw was a fierce match. The red team, with its main center back and forward, was trailing the yellow team 1:4. Ferdinand was making a strange scream angrily, using He tried his best to kick the football towards the goal as if he was angry.

The Chelsea players stopped and watched, and then they all expressed the same emotion: There are so many people!

Who wouldn’t drool after seeing the depth of this bench? If Manchester United's substitute lineup is pulled out to compete alone, their Premier League ranking will not dive into the relegation zone.

When Manchester United's team training was coming to an end, Chelsea players also entered the stadium and started practicing on the field. After the warm-up was completed and training began, the commentators on Sky Sports were stunned.

"Ashley Cole, is he wearing goalkeeper gloves?"

Ashley Cole was in high spirits and very excited. He put on his gloves and stood in front of and behind the goal, calling his teammates to shoot. His fighting movements were very exaggerated, and he showed his teeth and claws every time he made a save, but the effect was good. He hit high and low, and fluttered left and right to resolve the merciless slams of his teammates.

"You guys are going too far! This ball is kicked too hard! Slow down, slow down! This is my first time as a goalkeeper!"

Ashley was all over the floor, except for Wright's extremely fast shot that broke through Outside of his defense, the remaining shots were blocked by Ashley.

The commentators were stunned, saying that they had seen a ghost, no, they had seen God!

Amidst the exclamations, the commentator Elsie suddenly thought of a past event, "On the eve of the 2002 World Cup, Emerson also played as a goalkeeper. At that time, he injured himself during a save and missed the entire competition. Will Ashley's playful saving behavior like this..."

"No, no, no," Elsie's partner Bloom quickly interrupted Elsie, "Probably not. Look, they The save is over, but Ashley is still fine. Tomorrow is the Champions League final, Chelsea will definitely be measured, and there will be no surprises. "

Ten minutes later, I watched the team doctor and assistant coach rush onto the court to help Ashley. When they came to the sidelines for treatment, Bloom and Elsie fell into silence. They looked at each other and then saw the same question in each other's eyes: Which one of us is the crow's mouth?

During the passing and receiving training after the warm-up, Ashley was tackled from the backcourt by Kalou during a consecutive stoppage. At that time, Ashley lay on the ground and could not get up. After some simple treatment, Ashley returned to the court and started jogging, and no longer participated in the team's passing training.

Ashley before the injury: The husky running wild all over the floor.

Ashley after the injury: The down-and-out puppy

Ashley was completely unable to get excited or laugh after being caught in a heavy rain. After the Chelsea players confirmed that the injury would not affect Ashley's ability to play tomorrow, they couldn't stop laughing, and the entire stadium was instantly filled with a happy atmosphere.

Ashley: ...

at 22:45 Moscow time on May 21, the first cross-day final in the history of the Champions League will officially blow the opening whistle.

Although the start time was very late, the entire Luzhniki Stadium was brightly lit that night, and every fan who arrived at the scene was in high spirits. Chelsea fans who were traveling with the team started cheering in the stands before the game even started. Four Crowns" banner.

"Coach Ferguson has arranged a 442 lineup for this Champions League game, with goalkeeper Van der Sar, defender Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra."

"During yesterday's team training, Vidic did not appear throughout the whole process. At that time, many Media reporters thought that Vidic would miss today's Champions League final, but in fact, coach Ferguson made a false shot, and Vidic recovered well and started directly in today's game."

"Midfielder Carrick, Scholes, Hargreaves and Ronaldo, forwards Rooney and Tevez.”

"Hargreaves and Tevez performed very vigorously in yesterday's team training. Hargreaves directly deceived Van der Sar with two right-footed arcs, while Tevez's two angry shots Both shots went straight through the goal. Even if they don’t know whether the two can continue their hot state in today’s game,

the commentators began to introduce Chelsea’s starting lineup after briefly talking about it.

"Chelsea still played 433 in this game, goalkeeper Endrit, defenders Essien, Carvalho, John Terry and Ashley."

"Although there was a small accident in yesterday's training, Ashley recovered Well done, this game is still the starting lineup."

"The three midfielders Makelele, Ballack and Lampard, and the three forwards Malouda, Cole and Drogba."

"It is worth mentioning that Mo. Delic appeared on the bench in today's game, wearing a Chelsea jersey. "

Dinamo Zagreb released him a little late. He was not included in the player list by Mourinho in this game. " On the list, but because he has signed a contract before, if Chelsea wins the quadruple championship this season, Modric will also have this honor. "

Crow has stopped playing at home and is waiting for the start of the European Cup. Qi sat in front of the TV and looked at Modric in the stands, his back teeth almost shattered: This kid is so lucky! If you join the team and haven't played a single game, you will win four championships with the team!

Crouch's agent Grupp sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand to push Crouch, "We are watching the game, why are you grinding your teeth?"

Crouch opened his mouth, wanting to complain about the lucky guy Boy, but the words turned into something else as soon as they came out, "I will appear in the transfer market during this summer's transfer period, right?"

Grupp nodded slightly, "I have been communicating with Chelsea before. ."

Crouch breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to stare at the picture on the TV. Thank God, the camera finally moved away and no longer focused on the lucky boy but on Coach Capello in the stands? !

"Coach Capello!"

Crouch stood up suddenly and walked around in frustration: the summer transfer period has not yet started, but the news that he is leaving Liverpool has been released, and his next home is Chelsea. If he went to watch a Chelsea game at this time, he would definitely be criticized by Liverpool fans. After all considerations, he did not go to the scene.

But Coach Capello went to the scene! If he goes with coach Capello, it will be to see his national team teammates...

"Gerrard?"

"What Gerrard?" Crouch turned his head to look at Grupp, "Where is Gerrard?" "

He's at the scene now," Grupp subconsciously lowered his voice, "The camera just scanned him..."

Crouch:? ? ! !

No, at least call him!
