My greatest hope is that these two teams can dedicate a wonderful game to fans all over the world. These two teams are the strongest and best in European football today, and they are well-deed to play this final. For Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, everyone in UEFA and I feel very sorry. His retirement is a huge loss for European football. Of course, retirement is inevitable when he is old. I hope he will live a happy and healthy life after retirement!"
Glazer, the president of Manchester United Club, also came to Seville and said in an interview, "Alex's retirement? I have to admit that when I just heard the news, my first reaction was that it must not be true. Is it April Fool's Day today? Who is joking? When I confirmed that the news was true, I was in a terrible mood. I couldn't imagine what Manchester United would be like without Alex.
"If I can choose, I hope Alex will always coach Manchester United, even for a hundred years, but after all, people will be old. After communicating with Alex, I agreed to his request for retirement, because it is good for his health. Although I hope he will continue to coach, I can't Selfish and don't care about his health, I hope he can live a healthy life. Of course, this decision is extremely painful for me.
"We also need to look forward. Although Alex has retired, Manchester United is still the strong team. Alex recommended David to me as his successor, and David also accepted our invitation. He will be in charge of Manchester United next season. Alex's eyes have always been reassuring to me that since he is optimistic about David, Manchester United will definitely be able to rejuvenate the brilliance of the European Red Devils in David's hands!"
"Regarding the Champions League final, I certainly hope to be confident that Manchester United can win. To be honest, I don't know much about football, but I also know that this season's Manchester United team is different from previous seasons, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. Therefore, although the opponent Gosho is the Champions League champion for two consecutive years, we will definitely win. And this trophy is also the best retirement gift for Alex!"
Many well-known people have also expressed their views on Ferguson's retirement and this game. Everyone has blessed Ferguson without exception. Whether they had a good relationship with him before or not, they will show goodwill at this time; and they will The view of the UEFA Champions League final is that there are many people who support Manchester United, and there are also many people who support Gosho. It can be seen that no one is sure to guess the result of this game.
Judging from the odds of the betting company, the odds of the two teams are also quite close. Gosho only lead by an extremely narrow margin, which shows that the betting company is not sure which of the two teams can win the final victory, but the momentum of Gosho in the past few seasons and the record of the two teams last season allowed gambling. The company is a little more optimistic about the Gosho team.
After a full warm-up, on May 23, the finale of this season's European football, the champion and runner-up final of the UEFA Champions League, was held as scheduled at the Lopera Stadium, the home of Real Betis.
A few hours before the start of the game, the fans of the two teams came outside the court and waited for the game to be held. They sang and danced in the square outside the court, cheered for their team in advance, which also attracted the attention of the media all over the world. Before the annual Champions League final, it was gorgeous. The scenery.
The home jerseys of Manchester United and Gosau are exactly one red and the other is blue. The clothes worn by the fans of the two teams are also in these two colors. At a glance, it is clear.
The two teams of fans occupied a piece of territory in the square and sang against each other. The local police in Seville maintained order as if they were facing a great enemy, for fear of making trouble with football hooligans. However, the fans of these two teams are still relatively rational. They just cheer for their team with all kinds of songs and dances, and do not provoke the opposing fans, which also makes the police a long sigh of relief.
You should know that in Seville, there are two teams that are sworn enemies, that is, Real Betis and Sevilla. These two teams were originally one team, but in 1909, due to different ideas, they split into two teams. From then on, they became sworn enemies, two teams of the same origin. But it is more incompatible than many derby rivals in the same city.
Whenever there is a derby battle between the two teams, the most nervous people are the local police in Seville, because at this time, the fans of the two teams always have some conflicts, which puts a lot of pressure on the work of these policemen. However, it is also true that the police in Seville have also accumulated rich experience in dealing with fan conflicts, and these fan conflicts have never evolved into fierce bloody conflicts.
After the stadium opened, the fans of the two teams entered the stadium one after another and continued their singing and dancing in the stands, which made the police completely relaxed, because now the fans of the two teams can't contact directly.
After a long wait, the time gradually approached the start time - 19:45. The players of both teams had warmed up on the court and returned to the locker room to prepare for the official start of the game.
In the pre-match draw, Gosho drew the visiting team, so they will use the visiting team's locker room. Lin Fenglei looked around his players in the locker room and asked, "Are you ready?"
The players stood there with their hands behind their backs one by one, roaring energetically, "I'm ready!"
Lin Fenglei said, "Everyone must know very well that if we win today's game, we will win the three consecutive championships of the Champions League, but I don't know if you know how many teams have won such an honor?"
The team members obviously did their homework and said the answer at that time.
Lin Fenglei nodded: "Yes, everyone knows very well that only three teams in history have won more than three consecutive championships, and their names are all resounding. Real Madrid, Ajax and Bayern Munich. As long as we win this game today, the name of the Gosho team can join. In the list of these great clubs, and you will also become a part of this history.
The breath of players is getting a little heavier. As players, especially excellent players who have reached this level, in addition to making money, they also have higher spiritual pursuits. Such honor is undoubtedly what they dream of.
Lin Fenglei raised his voice: "I won't talk about tactics or anything. I've told you many times. I have one last sentence. If you want to be a part of history, then fight for me!"
The players shouted with all their strength: "Fight! Fight!"
