"Actually, we don't need to care too much about our opponents. Our strength is stronger than Liverpool. This is an absolute thing. Although those with strong strength may not be able to win in football games, we can win as long as we exert our strength." Jose said.

After Jose said this, the coaches became quiet. This is a sign that Jose wants to make a summary speech: "Although Liverpool has many rotations, their tactics are nothing more than these... The four defenders are definitely there. They will not be replaced by three or five defenders at this time. Whether it is Finnan or Aveloa, their characteristics are similar. They can run, have certain offensive ability, have good defense, and are also good physically. They are well-behaved full-backs. On the left, Riser and Aurerio are both full-backs with strong offensive ability, but Riser has better physical fitness and stronger long-range shooting ability, while Aurerio has better skills and better skills.

The ability to break is stronger. No matter who they send, their offense will be more fierce on this side. If Liverpool has a midfielder who is similar to Mascherano, Gerald will be a variable, because he may be on the top to play second striker. However, now Liverpool can use only one midfielder, Mascherano, Harman and Bicans have left, Dior is not enough to play rotation in the Premier League, and it is not enough to watch in the Champions League, so Gerald will definitely partner with Mascherano in the middle. What we have to do is suppress these two people in the middle attack, especially let Gerald focus more on defense rather than on offense."

"What if Mascherano plays a single midfielder?" Natal asked a question.

Jose laughed: "No team dares to play single midfielder when facing us, and Liverpool cannot."

Jose said this a bit arrogant, but he is qualified to be arrogant. Mallorca's midfield offensive ability has always been quite strong. Kaka alone is enough to make any back midfielder headache. This season, there is also Barack, who has strong forward insertion ability. These two people are midfield superstars who can use long shots to break the opponent's goal without defense at the front of the penalty area. As long as Benitez is wiser, he will let Gerald take into account the defense, and Mascherano focuses on defense...

"I don't know who Liverpool will send on two sides, but after all, they are just these candidates, Centen, Pennant, Cowell, Mark Gonzalez... Of course, it is also possible that one of the two players between Aurelio and Riser can be used as the left forward. These two players are players who can get up and down. No matter who they play, we don't need to pay too much attention. No matter how strong they are, they are not as strong as Figo, Stankovic, Ronaldo and Giggs. We are fully capable of defending both sides."

"Liverpool will definitely pay more attention to defense, so among the forwards, Kuyt will definitely be the first choice. This is a very diligent forward who can also participate in defense and help Gerrard relieve pressure in the middle. As for the other person, Bellamy will pay attention to his speed, and Crouch will pay attention to his height. Although Bellamy is very fast, his style is too unique and it will not be too difficult to defend. As for Crouch... Although he is tall, he is not good at heading. If he plays in the air, Damian and Pepe will make him suffer. What we care more about is the offense."

"In this game, I want to strengthen the midfield and disrupt their defense. Liverpool's wide offense is not particularly outstanding, so this game temporarily allows David and Andrees to play as a substitute, go to the three midfielders, strengthen the offensive and defensive capabilities of the midfield and suppress them!"

Speaking of this, Mallorca's coaches will know which midfielders they will play. Senna, Alonso and Barack will all play to strengthen their running ability and forward penetration ability in the middle, as for the forward line...

"My choice is Fernando and Miloslav." Jose said with a smile: "As for Ronnie, it will be more beneficial for him to play in the second half. Let Liverpool's defense line bear the impact of Fernando and Miloslav first, and then bear the breakthrough of Ronnie."

***************************************

Time flies very quickly. In the next few days, Mallorca and Liverpool both adopted closed training and news silence to prepare for the final - in other games, the head coaches of both sides may have a verbal battle to provoke some things. At this time, everyone will do their best to prepare for the game, because there will be no one to relax in such a game, and there will be no other situations...

The reporters were eagerly waiting for the start of the final. No one could get news these days, including Cameron, the official reporter of Jose. Everyone could only fill the newspaper with some speculation and predictions, but no one complained, because after the final came, there would naturally be big news...

May 24th, arrive as scheduled!

When Mallorca's team boarded the bus to the Athens Olympics, Mallorca's starting lineup was then delivered to the Champions League Organizing Committee. Liverpool's starting lineup was also sent out, and the major radio stations that were broadcast quickly also got the starting lineup list of both sides...

"Mallorca put Silva, Iniesta and Ronaldo on the bench in this game, and the other four substitutes are Sissoko, Mex, Puerta and Pinto, starting lineup 4312, goalkeeper Van der Sar, four defenders Macon, Ram, Mattias and Pepe. In the midfield, Alonso dragged behind, Barack and Senna were separated, Kaka was the one in front, and the forward partner was Torres and Klose. Liverpool sent them to the table.

The goalkeeper is Reina, and the four defenders are Finnan, Carragher, Agel and Aurerio, midfielder Mascherano and captain Gerrard serve as double midfielder, Pennant on the right, Riser on the left, and Kuyt and Crouch on the front line partners... The seven substitutes are second goalkeeper Dudek, defenders Hepia and Aveloa, midfielder Zenden, Mark Gonzalez, forward Cowell and Bellamy."

"Before this game, one thing that has been paid attention to is whether the captain of Mallorca, Damian Matthias, will touch the trophy before the finals start... You should know that Matias has participated in the finals of the Champions League three times as a main player. Before each final, he will touch the trophy placed at the exit of the player's channel, and then Mallorca won the Champions League championship. At the Champions League Best Player Award Ceremony before the start of this season, he said that if he has the chance to participate in the finals, he will continue to touch the Champions League if he has another chance to participate in the finals.

Touch, and I heard that he would never touch the trophy of the Champions League in all time outside the final day, even if the trophy of the Champions League in the past four years has been displayed in the trophy showroom in Mallorca... Let's take a look at the footage before the start of the Champions League final last season... Matthias was waiting in the player channel, and then followed the referee out of the player channel. When he walked past the Champions League trophy, he touched the trophy. Let's look at the slow motion... He reached out his hand, he touched it! He touched it!"

In fact, while the players of both sides were waiting to play in the player channel, Liverpool players were also looking at Matthias, who was standing at the forefront of the Mallorca team. Matthias seemed to have not noticed the gaze behind him. He stood there silently, waiting to walk out of the player channel...

Gerald tilted his head and looked at Matthias standing beside him - this is a guy who is about the same height as Gerald. He is only twenty-three years old now, four years younger than him, but he is already the leader of a club like Mallorca and has won so many honors...

Looking at the edges of Mathias as if he was cutting a knife and cutting an axe, Gerald couldn't help but remember what happened in the locker room before. Mascherano smiled and said to himself: "Captain, if that guy still touches the trophy, you can open his hand first so that he can't touch it!"

Thinking of this, Gerald smiled slightly - he would not do such a thing. Besides, Mathias touching the trophy is just like a player bent down to touch the lawn before he came on the bench. It is a way to pray and increase his confidence. Mallorca has won so many championships, but it is not because Mathias touching the trophy...

Gerald tightened his captain's armband. As a loyal kop, although Gerald has not won any honors in Liverpool, he used his performance to prove what persistence means. Liverpool reached the final of the Champions League this year. He hopes to use a championship to prove that his persistence is worth it!

At this moment, the referee who was responsible for taking the penalty for this game, German Vander, got the news that he could play. He turned around and signaled to the players on both sides, and then took the lead in walking out of the player channel.

Mallorca and Liverpool players also began to move their pace and followed them out.

In the middle of the player passage to the game lawn, there are two exhibition stands, one with the balls for this game, and the other with the authentic trophy of the Champions League - the trophy of the Champions League is retained by the winners of the previous year's Champions League every year, and will be taken back when the time comes. The winners of the Champions League can keep a copy of no more than four-fifths of the original size. However, clubs that have won three consecutive championships or won more than five times can keep the original. Real Madrid, Ajax and Bayern retained the original after winning three championships, and AC Milan also retained the original when they won the fifth Champions League in 1994. The Champions League is now the fifth replica.

Vander walked past the trophy, then picked up the football in front and clamped it under his armpit to kick off. The broadcast camera immediately pointed it at the championship trophy. All the fans watching this game wanted to see if this guy Mathias would touch the trophy...

Matthias seemed to have not even seen the trophy and walked over to the trophy. However, his right hand, which was dragging behind, seemed to be lifted up inadvertently, and then gently stroked the trophy...

"Oh! He touched the trophy! He touched it again! It seems that Mallorca is really bound to win the trophy of the fourth Champions League! However, Mallorca's performance in the Champions League in recent years is like Real Madrid who won five consecutive championships! If it weren't for being blocked by Chelsea in the 2004-05 season, they would have probably entered the Champions League final for five consecutive years and even completed the glory of five consecutive championships! La Liga teams can always perform such magical performance. Perhaps the French who are close to them will feel very depressed, because the Champions League was founded by the French, so far, only one French team has won the Champions League, and after winning the Champions League, there was also a scandal of bribing their opponents. Fortunately, the domestic opponents were bribed, but they were deprived of the league championship and did not deprive the Champions League. Otherwise, the French would not even be able to win a Champions League..."
