Chapter 499 The curtain opens
Yesterday's weather forecast said that there would be light to medium rain in Dortmund today. When the players of Inter Milan got up the next day, they found that it was really drizzling and there was no sign of stopping in a short period of time. Jiang Mu asked the players to change into long nail sneakers. The rainy day has a greater impact on the performance of technical players and is more beneficial. With the performance of an impact team like Liverpool, Jiang Mu should hurry up to let the players adapt to the Westerlunfa Stadium after the rain.
The game was played at 8:45 p.m. In the morning, the fans from both sides who came to Dortmund to watch the game reached 7-8. The streets and alleys were full of Liverpool fans wearing red jerseys, red scarves, pulling red slogans, and Inter Milan fans in blue and black jerseys holding blue and black scarves.
During the training, Inter Milan's team songs came from the stands from time to time. Occasionally, players made wonderful movements, and the fans burst into applause, as if the game had begun.
At this time, the training is mainly to adapt to the field and maintain the state. The time is very long, but the strength is not very strong. Two hours later, after the training is over, the Inter Milan players simply took a shower in the home team's locker room before returning to the hotel.
In the afternoon, UEFA organized the last press conference before the game at Westernfa Stadium.
The first person to the venue was Holler and his captain Haipia. In the face of hundreds of reporters, Holier still kept a low profile. He reiterated that the UEFA Cup final was very difficult. Inter Milan was the most powerful team he had ever met, but he also cautiously expressed his desire for the championship.
"... Inter Milan's strength is stronger, but in the game, whether you can show your strength is another matter. Generally speaking, the details determine the winner. Inter Milan and Liverpool had a hard battle before the final, and there will be no physical advantage. We should not only consider 90 minutes, but also consider overtime. This season's UEFA Cup will be won by golden balls. I think this will bring more excitement and uncertainty to the game. Which team will the final champion belong to? It's hard to say..."
Liverpool captain, Finnish international Haipia, also expressed his strong desire to fight. "Yes, our opponent is so strong that no team can beat them, but for a knockout match like the League Cup, it is useless to win all the previous games. If you lose the last game, you will lose all. ...Our previous opponents are also very strong. Barcelona and Arsenal are first-class, but in the game, we have defeated them. One League Cup and an FA Cup champion are definitely not enough. Our goal is to win the League Cup championship... "
Holler told reporters not to only see Ronaldo's strength. Inter Milan also has many excellent players. "If we only stare at Ronaldo, then we will definitely not win this game. Before Ronaldo returned from injury, Inter Milan had never lost. Ronaldo just let them It's even more terrifying. There are five or six world-class strikers on the front line of Inter Milan. As far as I know, Roby Kean has the strength to break through any defense line. The impact of the horror Ivan Zamorano is very strong. If these players don't study seriously before the game, they will bring me great trouble in the game..."
Inter Milan arrived 15 minutes later than the original press conference. Jiang Mu and Sanetti apologized to the reporters, and then Jiang Mu directly asked the reporter to ask questions, and they answered.
When the reporters asked questions, they asked about Inter Milan's starting lineup again. After Jiang Mu's debut, his starting lineup became a mystery. Before the game, it always triggered countless speculations. After the game began, they found that their guesses were not correct, and after the game, they found that Jiang Mu's platoon was so. Amazing.
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "There are still a few hours before the game. I haven't decided on the final start, but most of the players have decided, and you will know then."
German players are very tough in the game, and German reporters also have a persistent spirit. They also insist on asking Jiang Mu who are the players identified?
Jiang Mu pointed to Sanetti and said, "It is certain that there will be Javier, and Frey. Of course, Pirlo will also appear on the court. You can guess the other players. Isn't it good to leave a little suspense? Anyway, you will eventually know."
As the captain of the team and the left and right hand of the head coach, Sanetti helped his coach relieve the siege in time. "We have 18 players, and these people are in the best condition. As for who will start, it doesn't matter. Just like Ronaldo, he still decides the game as a substitute."
When the reporter asked which player in the Liverpool team is the most threatening, Sanetti said: "Every player in Liverpool is very strong. We can't say which one is stronger, because if we determine which is the strongest and we defend him with all our strength, we will find that other players are more threatening to us. Big."
Jiang Mu answered the question about whether the players and coaches have extra bonuses after winning the UEFA Cup. He said, "Of course, Chairman Moratti promised a lot of bonuses, but we don't fight for bonuses. There is something more important than money."
The German reporter was still more concerned about the excitement of the game and asked Jiang Mu what he would do if Liverpool used the barrel array?
Jiang Mu replied, "I don't know how Liverpool will play this game. Whether it's offensive or defensive, radical or conservative, it's their freedom. Let's just play our own game."
There are also reporters from the Celestial Empire to attend the press conference. The Celestial reporters pay more attention to the referee and ask Jiang Mu what he thinks of the French referee Visieres who came to enforce the law?
Jiang Mu said with a smile, "The referee is very important, but he must make himself unimportant. If after the final, no one can't remember and want to know the name of the referee, then he is the best referee. UEFA sends a French referee to enforce the game, which may be more conducive to the essence of the game. The degree of color, French football has always been relatively romantic.
The press conference was very harmonious. The reporters did not get much news at the meeting, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of the reporters. They knew that the most lively and tense news materials were on the court, and it was just a dessert before the game.
The light rain of almost a day finally stopped. Night gradually came, and the street lights outside the court lit up one by one. It was getting closer and closer to the start of the game. Many fans began to move towards Westerham Field.
The highest point of Westerlenfa Stadium is the huge team logo of the two final teams, Liverpool and Inter Milan. This kind of equal treatment of host and guest makes the players and fans on both sides of the game very happy. They will not feel like they are in a foreign country, but it is like fighting at home.
At 7 p.m., the fans had just started to enter. Liverpool's players in the Westerland Stadium were doing the final drill for the final. The Red Army players were wearing their traditional red, with serious expressions, making quick and concise cooperation, and received warm applause from the stands from time to time.
The chairs on the stands of Westerlen Field are all yellow. It echoes the deep sky and brilliant lights, and is extraordinary. Under such a profound background, the already feverish League Cup football game has added a few points.
Both Liverpool and Inter Milan both got 20,000 tickets in this game, and the rest were for neutral fans, but the fans who came to Dortmund exceeded 50,000. Liverpool, England and Milan, Italy, thousands of miles away, Anfield and Meacha all stood up a big screen. Fans from both sides at the scene will not sleep here.
Tonight, there will be countless venues in the League Cup. In Germany, Argentina in South America, Finland in Northern Europe, and China in the East - every country is happy to have its own compatriots in the final team. The UEFA Cup is also proud to show the best "national players" in the world at its football ceremony.
At this time, there are 20 special children on the edge of the green field. They are decreasing in turn, the oldest is 10 years old and the youngest is 3 years old. At 8:45, these 20 special children will take out Liverpool in red and Inter Milan in blue and black, and accompany these two eye-catching colors into the court. At this moment, they are practicing how to be beautiful and natural under the aunt and coach.
By 7:30 p.m., the Westlon Field Stadium, which can accommodate 67,000 people, was basically full. At this time, some literary and artistic programs began to be performed in the center of the stadium. In order to welcome the guests who came from afar, it was also to make trouble for football hooligans not to be bored in waiting. The organizer was also specialized Cheng invited a popular band from Germany to sing. For a quiet and safe game, the German Football Association took great painstaking efforts.
At 8:10, the commentators at the scene appeared in the comment table one after another, and they began to dict the classics to warm up for the first heavyweight final in Red May.
These commentators have a certain popularity in their respective countries, but at this time, it is the German commentator Marcel who determines the atmosphere of the stadium. Ralph, at this moment, he is reporting to the fans the starting lineup of the two sides that he has just got.
"In this game, Liverpool drew at home, and they wore traditional red uniforms. In this game, they still put on a 4-4-2 formation. The goalkeeper Westwede, the four defenders are: Babel, Henkoz, Haipia, Carragher, McAleister and German veteran Harman, who failed to start in the midfield and FA Cup finals appeared in the midfield position, young Gerard, England's tougher Mo. Fei is separated, and the front players are still Owen and Hesky. Fowler, who has been optimistic about before the game, sat on the bench. He is as surprising as McCollister's starter.
Inter Milan's starting lineup in this game is also shocking. There is no doubt about goalkeeper Frey. The backline combination of Cordoba is matched with Materazzi, and the two sides are Sanetti and Simic. Such a combination has speed and height, and Sanetti can also attack, which is also considered Both offensive and defensive. The midfielder is a three-waist combination, Pirlo, Yugowizi and Dibiano, the front midfielder is Seydorf and Rekoba, and the only striker is Vieri.
Ronaldo, who is in such excellent condition, sat on the bench, which shocked everyone. However, it is not the last player to appear on the court, and there is a possibility of change. Jiang Mu has always been unexpected, but he put the substitute on the field, scored a goal, and staged a hat-trick in the Milan derby. Ronaldo of France is put on the bench, which is not unexpected, but a test of people's IQ.
German commentator Marcel. Rafe was a little angry about Ronaldo.
