Chapter 499 The curtain opens Next

"... The predecessor of the UEFA Cup was the International City Expo Cup held from 1958 to 1971. The UEFA Cup final held at the Westernfa Stadium is the 30th final since the event was renamed the UEFA Cup in the 1971-72 season. In the past 30 years, Italy The team won the League Cup nine times, the most times to win the championship. It was followed by teams from Germany (6 times) and England (5 times). Among them, Inter Milan has won the most championships. They have won the UEFA Cup three times in this decade, and Liverpool won twice in 1973 and 1976. If Liverpool can beat Inter Milan to win the championship in this game, they can share the title of King of the UEFA Cup with Inter Milan..."

"There seems to be no fate between Inter Milan and Liverpool. As a big team that appears in Europe every year, they have only met once in a hundred years of history and played two rounds. This is a miracle. Their only meeting was in the 1965 Champions League semi-finals, the first round of the country. Inter Milan lost 3-0 to Liverpool, and Liverpool beat Inter Milan 3:1 in the second leg, but they were eliminated because of fewer away goals. That season, Inter Milan won the second Champions League title in their history, and in the League Cup, the two teams have never played against each other..."

Marselle. When Ralph introduces the history of the two sides, the two head coaches in the locker room are making the final mobilization for the team to play.

Jiang Mu looked at the 11 players in the locker room with a serious expression, like a general who was about to go on an expedition patrolling his soldiers.

"The game is about to begin. This is the first championship we can win, and it is also the first test for us. This is a battle. This is a dialogue between men. If we win, we win not only the championship and honor, but also the respect of the world. If we lose, we lose everything, Bao Including our undefeated honor in the previous 20 games! How to choose, win or lose, nothing or everything, now in front of us..."

"Victory! We want to win!"

Under the lead of Sanetti, all 11 players made a cry from the bottom of their hearts, and they were extremely hungry for the championship.

"...No! I don't need you to answer me with your mouth. I need you to answer me with your feet on the court. Liverpool is very strong. I have repeated it many times before, but only when you get to the court will you understand that they are stronger than you think... If you take the lead, you must remember, as long as Before the game is over, you are not the champions! If you fall behind, you must also remember that you are as strong as them, and no one can defeat you except yourselves!"

Before Jiang Mu's words fell, there was a warm applause in the locker room. The players rubbed their hands one by one, and they couldn't wait for the game to start immediately.

Jiang Mu looked at the time and felt that it was almost done, like the players waving hard and saying, "Okay, let's go and bring the championship trophy back to Milan!"

"Good! We will definitely bring the championship trophy back to Milan!"

The players came up one by one to hug Jiang Mu, and then filed out of the locker room. So far, 90% of the work that Jiang Mu should do has been completed, and the rest is up to them.

In the locker room of the home team, Hollior is still tirelessly explaining tactics to the players. He also got Inter Milan's starting lineup. Ronaldo did not appear in the starting lineup, which surprised Holier and was very passive. He had to grasp the international team. Lan's playing players made arrangements again.

"Although it's a little unexpected that Ronaldo didn't start, it's also a good thing..." Of course, Hollier would not say that this was a mistake in his judgment. "Ronaldo is the most threatening striker of Inter Milan. He will definitely play in a suitable opportunity. Our previous arrangement will still be useful. Now, I We only need to deal with Inter Milan's single striker Vieri. The pressure on the back line may be lighter, but don't think that Inter Milan's ability to score goals with only one striker will decline. Their midfielders actually have the ability to score goals. Recoba is actually a No. 9 and a half, so no matter how we attack, the defense line is Keep three people..."

"Pierlo is still their core player. Look at him, Inter Milan's offensive threat is at least one-third less. Seedorf is the second core of Inter Milan. When Pirlo can't play a role, Seedorf can replace most of Pirlo, so when we kill Pirlo, we must Pay attention to the ball point of Sedorf..."

"Ronaldo can't play. The distance between our three lines, as well as the distance between the defender line and the penalty area, can be 10 meters. There is still a big gap between Vieri's speed in the counterattack than that of Ronaldo."

It should be said that Holier's work is in place, and the analysis and judgment of Inter Milan is very accurate. However, at this time, the shouts and applause of the fans in the stands outside have entered the locker room, and most of the players' minds are in the upcoming finals. At this time, it is not too much to talk about tactics. The big role is that Jiang Mu's hot-blooded or dog-blooded motivation is more effective for the players.

With five minutes left before the game, players from both sides and 22 caddies walked out of the mixed channel under the leadership of French referee Visier.

The stadium was opened two hours in advance, and the fans were anxiously waiting in the stands. At this time, they suddenly saw the players coming out, and they immediately burst into overwhelming applause and shouts.

"... It's 8:41 now. The players from both sides have come out of the locker room. The annual League Cup final is about to start. Let's compare the starting list of both sides to see if there is any departure between the players on the court and the starting list. Of course, the main thing is to see if Ronaldo is out. Field... Frey, Sanetti, Materazzi... Oh, Ronaldo did not start. Inter Milan's lineup and the starting list are exactly the same... Oh, Liverpool's lineup and starting list are exactly the same. They don't play tricks. As a big team, they all maintain the style of a rich team. ......”

Ap> In the shouts and applause of the commentators and fans, the players of Inter Milan and Liverpool walked to the middle of the court with the caddies and waved to the fans.

First, take a group photo, and then the players shake hands with each other and exchange the team flag emblem. At this time, the applause and shouts continue, especially the singing of Liverpool fans, which is particularly loud. The number of fans of the two teams is similar, but Liverpool fans are stunned to cover Inter Milan.

When the players finished the ceremony, Jiang Mu and Holier came to the sidelines. They looked at each other deeply, then shook hands and nodded, and walked back to their coach's seat.

Seeing the arrival of Jiang Mu and Hollior, commentator Marcel. Ralph began to praise Jiang Mu again.

"... This is a real magical coach. He is even as magical as God. This is not a blasphemy against God. Jiang Mu's achievements are really amazing. He doesn't seem to be from the ancient East, but from the distant outer galaxy. When he came to the Netherlands from the East, he was still silent. Unknown assistant coach, but three years later, he is already the winner of the Dutch Triple Crown and the Champions League champion. After coming to Inter Milan, he has won 16 consecutive games in the league, reversed Juventus and Roma, and became the leader of the league. The UEFA Cup also reached the final. In the face of such a coach, I really don't know that Holiel can Come up with a way to limit him and prevent him from winning the League Cup championship..."

At this time, Inter Milan President Moratti and Liverpool President Morse came to the VIP box, the commentator Marcel. Rafe continued, "When it comes to Jiang Mu and Inter Milan, it is natural to say that Moratti. Of course, the son of the Moratti family is not as capable as his brother. He is not even as good as his brother in any aspect, but his love for football is indeed that his brother can't compare with him. He only got one in the five years of taking over the League Cup. In the case of the Second League Cup, Moratti invited Jiang Mu. Although Jiang Mu was already the double champion of the Dutch League and the Champions League at that time, he was too young, only 27 years old, and still from China. However, Moratti finally chose him, so he chose a legend, even a legend of an era. . As for Chairman Morse, he really doesn't have much to say. The Morse family has been in the same boat with the Red Army for more than 50 years, witnessing almost all the honors and madness of Liverpool, ranking 42nd in the British wealth list of the Sunday Times. Since Morse took over the position of Liverpool chairman from his uncle John Morse in September 1991, he has been in the same way. He is a typical master of success..."

At this time, the lottery ceremony for exchanging the team's flag emblem of the two sides was over, and the caddies left quickly, leaving only the players of Inter Milan and Liverpool to come to their respective half, waiting for the referee Frenchman Visiers to sound the whistle at the beginning of the game.

At this time, less than a minute before the start of the game, the camera lens gave a gentle middle-aged fan. Commentator Marcelev said, "This female fan is not a star. She is Dennis, the wife of Liverpool player McLister, an ordinary woman. McLister is His wife Dennis, the oldest player in this game, just gave birth to a son Oliver for McOlister two months ago. Dennis was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was pregnant, but for the sake of her child, Dennis persisted for two weeks without chemotherapy. Now, she has finally recovered and came to the Westlonfa Stadium with her husband. She is a strong mother and a hardcore Liverpool fan. With such a woman looking at herself in the stands, McCulister will definitely be full of confidence and high morale..."

Forced!

At this time, the whistle of referee Visies blew, and the 2000-2001 UEFA Cup final began.
