Chapter 203 The Champions League Final Begins!

In the hilly area of ​​the Dnieper Highlands, there is one of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe, its name is Kiev.

At the end of May, warm and humid air currents came from the Atlantic Ocean, nourishing this land full of history.

Thousands of fans also came with them.

They all come from all over the world, with only one goal.

2017-18 Champions League final!

Most of them are fans of Real Madrid and Manchester United, and the rest come to watch this annual feast and go to see the World Cup in mid-June.

It is precisely because of this that UEFA chose to promote the campaign without any reservation, filling every corner of Kiev with player posters.

C Ronaldo, Benzema, Ramos, Pogba, Smalling, Chu Feng. In the center of Kiev, there is a football field that looks like a snow-white round cake with a large emerald green field in the middle.

It was completed in 1923 and was called Trotsky Red Stadium.

After the Soviet Patriotic War, the World Cup qualifiers and the 1980 Olympics.

Its name was changed four times, becoming the Kyiv Olympic Stadium, and it was reopened in 2011 as the main venue for the 2012 European Championship, hosting five European Championship matches, including the European Cup final on July 1, 2012.

Under the illumination of hundreds of lights, the glass structure of the stadium is reflected in a magnificent manner, like a magnificent and dreamy palace.

Manchester United players are undergoing pre-match training.

Bang! As the sound of the explosion rang out, De Gea looked back at the shaking door frame and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Chu, you are a monster, right? It's only been more than half a month, and your shooting power has improved significantly."

"Let me tell you a secret. I am actually an alien."

Chu Feng whispered quietly.

“It’s possible.”

De Gea thought about it carefully and nodded seriously.

Pogba next to him smiled and said: "You actually took it seriously? The game is the day after tomorrow, are you all confident?"

"We are the Premier League champions, we must have confidence! Real Madrid only won one Spanish Super Cup and lost to Barcelona twice this season."

Ibrahimovic punched the air hard.

This was his last game for Manchester United and the closest he ever got to the Champions League title.

You should know that although he has played for teams such as Barcelona, ​​Juventus, Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, and contributed 74 direct goals in the Champions League, he was able to enter the top 10 of the Champions League scorer list.

But their best result was reaching the semi-finals, at Barcelona, ​​the six-time champion.

Even if he tells the media that the game is meaningless without him, all professional players are eager to win the Champions League.

Because it represents the club's highest honor, no other award can compare to it.

"That being said, I'm still very nervous."

Smalling sighed.

"We can look at it from another angle. Real Madrid wants to create a fairytale of winning three consecutive Champions League titles, and we are the big devil who stops them. It's much easier to be a villain than a hero!"

Chu Feng patted Smolin on the shoulder.

Ashley Young smacked his lips. "You know what, what Chu said does make sense. Now think about the 2012-13 Champions League quarter-finals. We played two rounds against Real Madrid and only lost by one goal."

"De Gea performed very well in that game, blocking many sure goals. Keep working harder the day after tomorrow!"

Valencia added.

De Gea smiled bitterly and said, "Please don't say that again. At that time, Ronaldo jumped on the spot, was a head taller than Ferdinand, and smashed the ball directly into the goal. You must pay attention to Ronaldo during the game, and it is best not to give Real Madrid the opportunity to pass the ball."

After that, everyone practiced penalty kicks for a while and then vacated the field for the Real Madrid players.

Zidane had no intention of dragging the game into overtime.

After all, Real Madrid has the upper hand in overall lineup and has an absolute advantage in midfield, so they will definitely press Manchester United in the penalty area.

He will neither underestimate Manchester United nor overestimate them.

As for Manchester United's No. 7, he also arranged targeted tactics, letting Carvajal closely guard and assisted with Modric.

C Ronaldo and Benzema took turns to move to the side and attack Manchester United's left side.

If this still can't stop Chu Feng, he can only use the ultimate killer move and use unconventional methods to restrict the opponent.

As for people outside saying that Chu Feng’s playing style is like Ronaldinho?

Whether in Serie A or the World Cup, he has defeated his opponent, and later the two became teammates, but he just defeated the Galacticos.

On the green field.

Bale had just made a breakthrough with his speed, and Ramos subconsciously pulled him to commit a foul. Only then did he remember that this was a training match and reluctantly let go of his hand.

Since Pepe left Real Madrid, his partner has become Varane. This kid is good in every aspect except that he is extremely lacking in aggressiveness in defense.

Varane next to him remained silent.

He doesn't like that way of playing, but he doesn't think the other side is wrong. After all, Ramos is contributing to the team, it's just that the ideas are different.

After Real Madrid finished their pre-match walkthrough, they packed up and returned to the hotel.

The next three days were basically like this.

Soon it was May 27th.

Kyiv Olympic Stadium.

The surrounding streets were divided into red and white. The noisy sounds broke through the sky, and the quiet night sky was filled with the smell of impending storms.

Reporters aimed their cameras at the people getting out of the car.

Sports stars such as Nadal, Cannavaro and Beckham all came to the scene.

Oh, and Guardiola’s family.

When they were asked by reporters which team they favored, the group split into two camps.

Guardiola deadpanned: "Rationally, I prefer Real Madrid because they are stronger and have a more balanced squad."

"According to gossip, your daughter is dating Manchester United player Chu. The two were photographed together at the FA Cup final. Some even say Chu will transfer to Manchester City next season."

"So from an emotional point of view, do you prefer Manchester United to win the championship?"

The Sun reporter was like a shark that smelled blood.

Guardiola couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He took a deep breath and remained calm. "No, it's still Real Madrid. As for the rumors outside, they are unfounded. The two are just ordinary friends."

Beckham, who was standing behind him, covered his mouth and laughed. When the reporter handed him the microphone, he quickly regained his serious expression: "Chu is an excellent professional player. His dribbling has a special beauty, which is the perfect combination of strength and skill."

"And in my career, I have only seen two players with such self-discipline, and today they will be on the same green field."

"Who to support? I have played for both teams. If I have to choose, I would prefer Manchester United to win the championship."

At this time, the players have completed their pre-match warm-up and returned to the locker room to make final preparations.

Mourinho said solemnly: "Real Madrid's formation is 4-3-1-2, the same as we predicted before the game."

"But you don't have to worry about these things. No matter how they change, it doesn't matter. We will play according to our own arrangements."

"I have talked about too many tactics in the past half month. Now there is no need to adjust. I just hope you know who you are."

There was silence in the locker room for a moment, and the Manchester United players all raised their heads.

Mourinho picked up a black marker and tapped the tactical board. "We can be here today not because of the referee, not because of the opponent!"

"It's because of ourselves and the team that you know what to do."

"On my first day as Manchester United manager, I promised you titles and glory, a promise that was perhaps a little naive."

"But I think it also represents my belief in myself and my belief that I can do the best football with you guys."

"So what does best mean?"

Having said that, Mourinho suddenly pointed to the middle of the locker room, where there was a sticker of the Champions League trophy.

Then he said, word for word: "Being the best means winning the Champions League."

"Now every time I think of that penalty shootout, I can feel the same pain. Real Madrid fans always say that I owe them a Champions League title!"

“I hope you don’t have to have this experience.”

“.”

Chu Feng looked at Mourinho's slightly trembling gray hair, which seemed to be telling the vicissitudes of time and the glorious years in the past.

Then he slowly lowered his head, carefully stuck the muscle patch on to prevent it from falling off due to sudden changes in direction, and heard Mourinho's last words.

"Today they want to achieve the feat of winning the Triple Crown, but they still need to ask us if we agree or not!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Meanwhile, in the Real Madrid dressing room.

Zidane didn't get too excited, because Real Madrid players have been through many battles and have experienced heart-wrenching defeats.

They have learned to face the difficulties in life, overcome them bravely, and constantly surpass themselves.

They know what they want.

So they are the protagonists of this game, the decent characters in the script, they will create and become legends and open a new era!

After being reminded by the staff, players from both teams came to the player tunnel.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Mourinho shook hands with the Real Madrid players and smiled at Bale: "If you had taken the initiative last season, you would probably be wearing a red jersey now."

Bell scratched his head and wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.

After greeting Mourinho and his former teammates, Ronaldo glanced at Chu Feng indifferently, and then looked forward without looking away.

It's still really cold.

Chu Feng couldn't help but complain in his mind, but this was quite interesting.

Moreover, it seems that Ronaldo has specially made a hairstyle, which is similar to the ramen hair he had during his time at Manchester United, but he was still very young at that time.

Suddenly Chu Feng had an inexplicable feeling.

When he looked back, he found Ramos staring at him and making a throat-slitting gesture arrogantly.

He destroyed the second place in the Premier League scorer list in the Champions League semi-final, and he doesn't mind destroying the first place in the Premier League scorer list today.

In fact, this is a competition of momentum.

When Scholes played in the game, he would make a tackle without thinking twice, just to gain the upper hand in momentum and make his opponents afraid to make any move when facing him.

At the top level of football, every factor counts.

Chu Feng was not a coward, he pointed a gun at Ramos with one hand, showing his white teeth, full of provocation! Are the barefoot afraid of those wearing shoes?

No one has been optimistic about them since the beginning of this season.

No one thought they could win the Premier League, no one thought they could reach the Champions League final.

To finish first in the Champions League group was all about luck.

Advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League was all about luck.

What about the victory over Bayern in the quarter-finals? Everyone suddenly realized that there is no such thing as luck.

Manchester United went all out in every game and fought hard to win! At worst, they could lose the game and come back with a stronger lineup next year.

As long as there are no regrets in the process, there will be no regrets in the ending.

What about Real Madrid? Winning the treble after the Champions League reform is an unprecedented honor, but also an overwhelming pressure.

Ramos didn't take it too seriously. There were also players who didn't believe it before, but what was the result?

He still made me obedient to his treatment.

Olympic Stadium in Kyiv.

The opening show of the Champions League final is in full swing, with Dua Lipa, dressed coolly, singing her new song.

One Kiss

The familiar melody floated into the player tunnel. Chu Feng listened to the familiar melody and laughed again.

According to the trajectory of the previous life, it was Liverpool that entered the Champions League final, and this song later became Liverpool's "team anthem."

If that's the case, the opening performance will soon be over.

The exciting UEFA Champions League theme song suddenly sounded.

As the lens rapidly stretches.

The first thing that came into view was the glittering St. Beaulieu Cup, followed closely by two musicians holding cellos.

They are 2CELLOS, also known as the "Violin Duo", a music group from Croatia.

Amid the two players' moving and wonderful performance and in front of the 67,136 people watching, the players from both teams slowly walked out of the player tunnel.

"LeTV Sports! LeTV Sports!"

"Good evening, audience friends!"

"Now broadcasting to you the 2017-18 Champions League final!"

"Real Madrid vs Manchester United!"

"The atmosphere on site was very enthusiastic. According to statistics, 360 million people from more than 200 countries were watching the game online."

"The camera is for both players!"

"C Ronaldo, Benzema, Pogba, Chu Feng."

"Everyone, take a closer look at them and think about what kind of talent and hard work it takes to reach the Champions League final!"

"Looking back at the two teams' Champions League journey!"

"As the first defending champion after the Champions League reform, Real Madrid is launching the final attack for the third consecutive championship!"

"And what about Manchester United?"

"It's been eight years since they last reached the final, and 10 years since they last won the Champions League!"

"In the cold rain of Moscow in 2008, with six spectators watching, Manchester United beat Chelsea on penalties and stood at the top of the Champions League!"

"C Ronaldo burst into tears and Terry slipped tragically."

"This is the unpredictable nature of the pitch, and this is also the endless charm of football."

"What kind of twists and turns will happen at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev today?"

"Let's wait and see!"
