According to data from a survey conducted by an authoritative organization before the game, this Champions League final has attracted great response and attention all over the world. Even in the United States, which is known as the football desert, there are many fans and non-fans paying attention to this game.

In addition to the 85,000 fans who came to the scene, more than 20 million British people in the UK will watch this live broadcast, accounting for one-quarter of the UK's total population. In addition, in the world, more than 150 million fans will watch this live broadcast, which set a new historical record in the Champions League final.

Although surveys show that China and Asia have provided a large number of viewers for the live broadcast of the finals, in order to take care of fans around the world, UEFA still decided to set the game to kick off at 45 pm, and it was already early in the morning after the end.

Tottenham and Manchester United are a little dissatisfied with this arrangement because such late game will definitely affect the performance of players, especially for the group of young players of Tottenham Hotspur, but Ye Qiu has no choice but to do everything he can to help the team resolve the problem by trying every means before the game.

The ball was opened at 45 points, but at the time of the point, the entire Luzhniki Stadium was already full of half of the seats. Judging from the distribution of the stands, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United fans were clearly separated, with white and red being distributed on the opposite sides of the stadium, and the fans of both teams were also showing their magical powers.

Manchester United fans entered the venue early and organized a chorus of 10,000 people. They used singing to suppress Tottenham Hotspur fans and encourage the morale of the team and players.

But soon, as more and more Tottenham fans arrived at the stadium, they were not showing any weakness.

I saw that all Tottenham Hotspur fans were holding a team scarf in their hands and also holding some blue and white flags. When everyone was ready, they saw them all raise the flags in their hands.

At this time, the live TV camera took a far-reaching perspective and saw a lively cockfighting on a round football appeared in the stands where Tottenham Hotspur fans were, exactly the same as the redesigned team logo icon of Tottenham Hotspur.

Everyone in the audience was amazed by the actions of Tottenham Hotspur fans, which was definitely organized before the game.

The chairman's stands are from north to south, and the fans of the two teams are far away from the east and west, Tottenham Hotspur on the east, Manchester United on the west, and there is a large stadium and track and field stadium in the middle, but the fans of the two teams are not showing any weakness and directly attacking their opponents.

The characteristic of insults, humiliation, and personal attacks is that you can attack the opponent with all your might, but it is not without a bottom line. There are many things that go beyond the bottom line that both sides will not do, but outside that, you can attack your opponents unscrupulously or even personal attacks them.

The big screen of the stadium is constantly playing the entire process of the players and coaching teams of the two teams arriving at Luzhniki Stadium. All fans can clearly see that from getting off the bus, entering the player passage, to entering the locker room, everything is clearly presented to all fans, allowing them to understand the situation before the game.

But all this has happened for a long time. Now both teams are currently in the locker room, making final preparations, and the head coach is also hurrying to make the final arrangements, waiting for the start of the game.

"This will be a battle of dragons and tigers"

"We can see the current tension between the two teams from a lot of details. Whether it is Ye Qiu or Ferguson, they have not announced the starting list of this game to the public. This makes us still completely unpredictable even now. What tactics will they adopt to fight the opponent in this game."

"In order to better explain this game with everyone, we specially invited famous European football professionals, Barcelona football godfather John Cruyff, and former Chelsea head coach and famous Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho."

"Hello everyone"

"Hello everyone"

Mourinho and Cruyff both heard voices one after another, greeting the fans watching the live broadcast. Mourinho's tone sounded a bit stiff, which was in line with his usual arrogant image.

"Both are famous people in football. I wonder what they think of this game? How do you evaluate these two teams? Or, who do you think has a better chance of winning? Come, John, let's talk about it first," the commentator asked.

Cruyff said hushed, "Actually, I mentioned it in the column early this morning. From the perspective of cards, the strength gap between the two teams is not big, and it is hard to say who wins and loses. Although Manchester United won two consecutive games against Tottenham Hotspur in the league, they played very hard in both games, and it can even be said that it was a bit of a lucky win. Tottenham Hotspur lost unjustly."

"Yes, so now there are many fans and reporters rehabilitating Tottenham's two consecutive losses," the commentator laughed.

"However, I think that in this game, in addition to testing the strength and the coach's on-site command and arrangement, a very important point is to test the players' psychological quality and ability to withstand pressure. Tottenham Hotspur is definitely at a disadvantage."

The commentator smiled again after hearing this, "I looked at your column before. You think a mature team should place the average age around the age of about the year, while Tottenham Hotspur is only over 22 years old on average. Do you think this is not a reasonable young class, right?"

"Young" Cruyff nodded, "Youngness means lack of experience and lack of self-regulation ability. Of course, youngness also has the advantage of youth, that is, there is motivation and energy, but in general, youth is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, it can be invincible, but if you use it well, you will lose miserably."

The commentator knew that Cruyff had a good relationship with Ye Qiu, and it was not difficult to see from his words that he actually favored Manchester United, but he refused to say things that he thought Manchester United had more hope of winning the championship, so he didn't force himself and turned to Mourinho.

"Jose, you used to be a match with Ferguson and Ye Qiu, and I noticed the news. You went to London not long ago to watch the Champions League semi-finals. How do you evaluate this Tottenham Hotspur?"

"It's beyond doubt that a very good team, otherwise they wouldn't have reached the final." Mourinho gave his own opinion and judgment. If the opponents were not Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in this game, he would not have made an exception and agreed to be the commentator.

"But as Ferguson said before the game, Tottenham Hotspur is a team, how to say it is not a very stable team. They have times of performing very well, but also times of performing very badly. I think a very important issue is the midfield structure of this team."

When Cruyff heard this, he interrupted, "Modric"

Mourinho has not had a good relationship with Cruyff, but he does not have as many conflicts as Ye Qiu's previous life. He nodded and said: "Yes, at first glance, Modric seems to have performed well in Tottenham Hotspur midfielder. His abilities are quite good, but for the Champions League finals, his shortcomings are also quite obvious."

"The same problem is Beckham. Once Beckham comes on the court, Tottenham Hotspur's ball control and game control will definitely decline, because Beckham and Fabregas are both direct players and like to pass forward instead of using their feet to control the ball, so Ye Qiu will introduce Modric."

"But Modric's problem is also obvious. He can't control the front trident, Fabregas beside him, Mascherano behind him and two full-backs who like to get forward, but he is not that kind. I can't control you, so I'll try every means to integrate into your kind of player."

Hearing Mourinho say this, Cruyff interrupted again: "Yes, Modric reminds me of Riquelme. He is like an Eastern European version and a relatively modern Riquelme. But the two have one thing in common, that is, the team must play football at their pace so that their strength can be maximized."

"Yes" Mourinho agreed with Cruyff's words for the first time, "but if you want to play football in accordance with his rhythm and method, the threat of the trident in the front court will be greatly weakened. And once you play football in accordance with his method, the problem of his lack of passing and penetration ability will be exposed, so no matter how Ye Qiu chooses, the midfield is a problem."

When the commentator heard this, he finally saw some professional tricks and suddenly realized: "No wonder there is a rumor in the transfer market that Tottenham Hotspur wants to introduce a midfielder. It is obvious that Ye Qiu understands this truth, so he wants to sign a player."

"But I have a very strange question, why did Ye Qiu want to introduce Modric?"

Cruyff smiled, "In the eyes of many fans, transfer is a very simple thing. Players are brought in. It is a one-plus-1 game. But as a head coach, he must know clearly that signings have always been a double-edged sword, with good and bad aspects. I think the same is true for Ye Qiu to introduce Modric, and he was very cheap at the time."

Mourinho nodded and said, "I think he did have the idea of ​​renovating Modric at that time, or let Modric play a substitute, but what he didn't expect was that Beckham was injured later, which directly led to him having to let Modric play the main player. Moreover, the team performed well, so he had no reason to adjust the main lineup."

After listening to it, the commentator changed a topic, "So, you are all optimistic about Manchester United? Is there no problem with Manchester United? Or, Manchester United really has such a big advantage in winning the championship?"

Mourinho laughed, "Of course not, Manchester United's problem is also obvious. Players are aging, Giggs, Scholes and Gary Neville, whom Ferguson relies on, are not young anymore, and Berbatov does not actively press and run in the frontcourt, which is also a big problem for Manchester United, but relatively speaking, Manchester United is more mature

"Actually, Ferguson had already shown his tactical ideas before the game," Cruyff took over and said, "If I guess, I believe Ferguson must have been fighting at the beginning. No matter what tactics you, Tottenham Hotspur arranged or what ideas you thought, I just wanted to attack in one round. Because you are young and because you have no experience, I will attack you directly, completely disrupt all your arrangements and ideas, and then slowly deal with you."

"This is the most terrible situation for Tottenham Hotspur"

Mourinho also nodded, "The two teams have strong offensive abilities, but Manchester United's defense is better and counterattack ability is stronger. Moreover, when encountering a team like Tottenham Hotspur, you must not give up the initiative and suppress him from the beginning. So, I think whoever plays the game well will be able to dominate the game."

Cruyff also added: "Especially for Tottenham Hotspur, the start is very, very important. If you don't play well, any result may occur and happen. I believe that Ye Qiu will definitely be able to realize this."

"He can realize that, but the players may not be able to meet his requirements. This is the biggest hidden danger to Tottenham Hotspur's start." Mourinho expressed his disapproval of Tottenham Hotspur with a relaxed look on his face.

Cruyff did not refute this.

Although football games are full of unpredictability, many times, many things are destined long before the game begins. The key is, as the head coach, how do you see clearly the situation on the field, adapt to the situation and turn the team's current situation and get out of the predicament.

The atmosphere in the home team's locker room was very tense, and everyone was looking at Ye Qiu attentively. Ye Qiu was standing in the middle of the locker room, looking at his players. Many of the things that should be arranged have been arranged before.

"Next, I announce the starting list of this game"

Everyone in the locker room seemed very nervous and quiet. From their departure from the hotel, even when they got up this morning, anyone could feel a sense of tension from them, so they talked little, even Ribery, who was the most active on weekdays, has become a boring egg now.

"Goalkeeper, Peter Cech; left back, Vargas, right back, Alves, central defender, Hangland and Thiago Silva" This defense line is Tottenham Hotspur's main defense line, without any injuries, and the starting lineup is not surprising.

But Aveloa was still a little disappointed. He originally thought that the team played against Manchester United, and in order to deal with winger Cristiano Ronaldo, he should give him more opportunities, but in the end Ye Qiu chose Vargas and Alves.

"Midfield, Mascherano dragged it back, Modric and Fabregas started" Ye Qiu made a solemn arrangement again, and when he spoke, he looked at Beckham. This game was his variable, and he revealed this point obscurely before the game, so although Beckham was a little disappointed, he was not displeased.

"Front court Trident, Ribery, Van Persie and Messi"

There are almost no accidents in the frontcourt offensive players. Apart from injury ceases or rotations, the three players will usually start, because they are the strongest guarantee for Tottenham Hotspur's offense.

After announcing the starting list, Ye Qiu looked at all the players solemnly, "As I told you before, don't be stressed, don't be nervous. When we come here, we have no choice, there is only one way, that is, fight to the end."

"What I want to remind everyone is that Manchester United must start with a snatch attack. They want to curb us through a snatch attack, but we cannot show weakness and play attack. We are not losing to any team, but I also must remind everyone that we must focus on our attention, especially when defending, we must pay attention to the distance."

Cristiano Ronaldo's strongest attack weapon this season is to penetrate the two ribs. Manchester United used Berbatov and Tevez to pull enough gaps and space for Cristiano Ronaldo to insert the two ribs.

With the strength of the Portuguese, as long as the distance between the defensive players on both sides is widened to more than fifteen meters, you will be almost fatal because his impact speed is amazing. Once he is allowed to rush into the penalty area, he can be at ease whether it is a ground ball or a high ball. He is a very comprehensive and very terrifying scorer.

"Also, I want to tell you one more thing, no matter what happens on the court or any accidents happen, we should not be confused and make mistakes casually. We must play the game completely at our own pace and cannot follow Manchester United. We must use our pace to drag down Manchester United so that we can have a chance to win

"Now, I'm standing here, standing among you, wait a moment, I'll walk to the sidelines, but I'm still with you."

Ye Qiu stretched out his hand, and the players stood up one after another, walked to the middle of the locker room, stretched out their hand, hugged Ye Qiu with one hand, hugged his teammates' shoulders, and formed a circle, while their other hand overlapped in the circle, and everyone was very close, but they didn't say anything.

Even in the locker room, they could still hear the shouts of fans coming in from the stands outside. Although they didn't understand it very clearly, they all obviously believed that it was the shouts of Tottenham fans.

"We have been waiting for this day for a long time."

"I hope that when you walk out of the players' passage, you can look up your head, look at our fans, listen to their shouts, and then tell yourself in our hearts not to let them down, because we are Tottenham Hotspur, we have worked hard to come to this stadium and participate in this final."

"Opportunity is something we don't know how much sweat we have done. Never let it slip away from us easily, stretch out our hands and grab it, then we will become heroes. After the game, we can still raise our heads and stand up, and face those fans who have traveled thousands of miles to support us.

"Guys, comrades, after appearing, pass every ball, do every tackle, make every breakthrough, and grasp every shot. Don't leave any regrets in our career, do you understand?"

"Understand" the players responded in unison
