1362 Countdown to the Battle of the Peak

The war on the local battlefield in England has expired, and the teams are entering the operation of summer transfers.

Liverpool has been working hard to prepare for the Champions League final.

Local Liverpool fans have begun to produce slogans and banners used in the Champions League final. Since the Champions League final this season is held at the New Wembley Stadium, this is more beneficial to Liverpool, and the support of local fans will be higher, giving them a certain home court advantage.

At the same time, it will also reduce the consumption of Liverpool's journey. It is already common for them to go to London to compete.

On May 28, the entire Liverpool team arrived in London and stayed in a hotel around New Wembley Stadium.

Barcelona arrived in London two days early, with the king of Britain on one side and the king of Spain on the other side. The two teams set off a new round of football frenzy in London.

Major European media paid attention to the preparations of the two teams throughout the process.

The day before the game, Barcelona held a pre-match press conference.

Guardiola said in a look at the Champions League final: "The match at the New Wembley Stadium will bring some pressure to Barcelona, ​​but that doesn't matter. Barcelona will welcome this game in the best condition. I deeply admire Liverpool's progress and achievements in the past two years. They have brought English football philosophy to the extreme and incorporated into the advanced European football philosophy. Koeman is a respected coach and looks forward to tomorrow's game."

A reporter from Sky Sports then asked: "Barcelona was eliminated by Liverpool in the Champions League knockout last season. Will this bring psychological pressure to Barcelona?"

Guardiola shook his head and said, "You will win and lose in the football world. If you are strong, then you should win more than you lose. But there are no teams that do not lose. Liverpool has also lost many games this year and lost in the league and the Champions League. Will they have psychological pressure when they meet the team that defeats them next time? This is not true. We are now focusing on preparing for the game. The goal is to win the championship trophy at the New Wembley Stadium. If there is pressure, this is, but I hope that such pressure will be transformed into the team's motivation."

"Why did you agree with the competition between Messi and Qin Xiong, this Champions League final will determine the Golden Globe Awards at the end of the year?"

Guardiola thought for a moment and said: "I would say Messi is the best player in the world, Koeman would say that the best player in the world is Qin Xiong, Mourinho would also say that Ronaldo is the best in the world, etc. We all have unparalleled stars. When such a discussion becomes a stalemate, then team honors will be a better evaluation standard. In my opinion, both Qin Xiong and Messi have contributed great strength to the team's brilliant achievements. Now it is correct to see who will win the Champions League championship to select the Golden Ball Award, but taking a step back and not winning the Champions League is not useless. It should still be objectively recognized by the outside world."

The pre-match press conference here at Liverpool is a routine matter.

Koeman also expressed his admiration for Guardiola when looking forward to the finals.

"Barcelona has been the top team in Europe for many years, but it is Guardiola who made Barcelona a super strong team. His football philosophy spread all over the world. He led the team to overturn tradition. I am very impressed and surprised by his achievements. Although we beat Barcelona last season, this does not mean that we can take it lightly in tomorrow's final. Barcelona faces the pressure given by Real Madrid in this season's league. They overcome difficulties and finally win the championship, which makes Barcelona better in form. Now, we have to leave all distractions behind. Focus on entering the Champions League final, and then play a wonderful game that can be recorded in history! Because this is the peak competition in European football!"

How to deal with Barcelona's pass control?

When the reporters asked this question, Koeman smiled and said: "Efficiency. We are not obsessed with the ball. What Liverpool pursues is to make both offense and defense more efficient. Barcelona want to control the ball, and they can control the ball, but unless they can prevent Liverpool from touching the ball, then Liverpool will display the skills we are good at."

On May 29, on the day of the Champions League final, fans from Liverpool and Barcelona could be seen everywhere around the New Wembley Stadium in London. There were helicopters from TV stations overlooking the shooting site, and the scene was particularly spectacular.

After warming up, the players from Liverpool and Barcelona returned to the locker room to listen to their respective coaches’ pre-match talks.

Koeman looked at the energetic players and said in a deep voice: "I don't think I need to say anything more. You go out and enter the arena, and do your best to defeat Barcelona, ​​and then we win the Champions League trophy and create a new history!"

The Liverpool generals nodded tacitly.

Since the reform of the Champions League, no team has been able to defend the title, and because no team has been able to defend the title successfully for too long, so once Liverpool can do it, the achievements of this team will be even more shining and shock the whole world!

This is a critical moment when the club goes to a new height and the players' own achievements reach a new peak!

Win this game!

Win this game!!!

The players walked out of the locker room together and met with the Barcelona generals before the exit of the player's passage, waiting for the start of the game.

Ten minutes before the start of the game, this season's Champions League ambassador, Leinkell, made a powerful shot outside the New Wembley Stadium to "start" a brief artistic performance of the opening ceremony of the Champions League final. A group of dancers in black suits danced in the stadium, and Jamaican Lightning Bolt also entered the venue as a special guest. Guardiola and Koeman smiled and shook hands and patted their shoulders before the game to encourage each other.

When the referee team conducted routine inspections on players in the player's channel, Liverpool players and Barcelona players had some greetings in the player's channel.

Qin Xiong and Messi patted each other on the shoulders. When they had the opportunity to meet in the past, the two might be joking, but they won’t!

When they walk out of the players' passage and step onto the court, they will meet each other, and they are destined to be filled with regrets of loss after the game!

The pre-match literary performance ended, and the referee group ordered the players to prepare for the show.

The two teams walked behind the referee group with their heads held by the caddies and entered the court together.

The magnificent Champions League theme song is mixed with the shocking and hustle created by the fans of the two teams at the New Wembley Stadium. The players of Liverpool and Barcelona stepped into the stadium, lined up, and everyone's eyes were either sharp or calm, with a sense of fighting, and a momentum suddenly burst out!
