381 Tricks(1/2)
381 Two tricks
As night fell, the whole row of Chester Road, which was filled with retro English-style buildings, was filled with fans coming and going.
Most of them are a group of neutral fans, but there are also some fans of the two teams who come from afar. Since Chester Road is closed to Old Trafford Stadium and vehicles are prohibited, they can only walk to Old Trafford Stadium.
Tonight is not only a festival for Inter Milan and AC Milan fans, but also for all fans in the world who love the sport of football. No matter whether they come to the scene or not, no matter how the time difference between them and Manchester is, they will wait on time in front of the TV and silently wait for the game to arrive.
Natalie ran quickly on Chester Road, and she was anxiously looking at the surrounding situation. If it weren't for the annoying police officers who were careful to guard against it, she would have crossed the iron fence in the middle of the road without hesitation, and walked directly from the road in the community introduced by the driver, and arrived directly at Old Trafford Stadium.
This damn iron fence is very long, and you can only pass by the four forks of Sir Matt Busby Road, but it was a red light.
"Damn it, it's 6 o'clock!" Natalie was sweating and panting, but she couldn't take care of anything.
After finally waiting for the green light, she crossed the road and rushed to the Old Trafford Stadium with an iron-covered iron frame in the distance. In fact, she only needs to look at the direction of the fans walking and ensured that she would not be wrong.
Tonight, two huge advertisements were drawn outside the Old Trafford Stadium, one was Inter Milan and the other was AC Milan.
Just as she arrived at the stadium, the phone rang again.
"Hey, Lucky Star, have you arrived?" Yang Cheng's concerned tone came.
Natalie smiled comfortably. She liked to hear Uncle Cheng's caring tone, "I just arrived at the door and I'm going in!"
"Well, I'm right in front of the home team coach's seat. You can see me when you come out, so let's not talk about it!"
Yang Cheng hung up the phone directly.
He was very busy all day today, received many text messages and several phone calls.
Charlize Theron would not come. She originally wanted to come, but Yang Cheng didn't let her come, worried that her long journey would be bad for her health and that she would also have to take care of the children.
But Heidi Crum, Sienna Miller, Melissa Trio and others sat in the stands. They were all closer, or came to England early, so they were not as slow as Natalie.
Aniston is the most funny. She said directly that if Yang Cheng wins, she will confess her love, which puts a lot of pressure on Yang.
He raised his head and walked through the wet air. He saw that Natalie was waving at him at the location he had booked before. The little girl was so excited that she almost shouted at Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng was relieved, and he was worried that Natalie would have an accident alone.
Seeing that she had arrived, Yang Cheng turned off his phone directly, turned around, and looked at the Inter Milan players who were warming up on the field in the distance. They all looked very active, and the players were playing the monkey walking game on it.
Inter Milan came to the stadium to warm up 20 minutes earlier than normal time, while AC Milan arrived on time. Therefore, in terms of training warm-up, they were 20 minutes later than Inter Milan, but this does not mean anything.
Yang Cheng watched the players relaxing on the court, but he did not intervene, but let them play on the court, and even used one or two unique tricks from time to time, which made Inter Milan fans who came to the stands cheer.
When it comes to small skills, Inter Milan is really not a good team, there are many skilled players in the team.
Compared to Inter Milan's relaxation, AC Milan's warm-up seems a bit serious and stern, but it does not reveal too much tension before the competition. After all, they are all players who are used to big scenes.
"Are you really relieved Shevchenko and Da Inzagi?" Benitez came over.
During the warm-up of AC Milan players in the distance, Shevchenko and Da Inzaghi all hit the goal, especially the Ukrainian. He had a very beautiful arc shot and shot straight into the dead corner. He looked sharp and the goal was good.
"Of course!" Yang Cheng was very confident, "If they all squeezed into the middle, I wouldn't be afraid at all."
Benitez didn't say anything more. The tactics before a game were actually guessing the opponent's thoughts. Yang Cheng has always done a good job in this regard, and Benitez felt ashamed of himself.
"They will attack at the beginning of the game, and I won't read it wrong!" Yang Cheng said confidently.
First, Ancelotti will not let the initiative of the game be handed over to Inter Milan. Second, Ancelotti needs to use a round of attacks to show off his momentum. If he still seeks a stable defense from the beginning, AC Milan may not be able to defend.
In the current team, except for Martini, Costakuta, Inzagi, Gattuso and other players, the rest of the team have entered the Champions League finals for the first time, and even Ancelotti and his coaching staff are the first time, which makes AC Milan lack experience.
There is a gap in strength and lack of experience. If you don’t take advantage of the opportunity to seize the opportunity, then Ancelotti will be too difficult to play in this game, because once the initiative is captured by Inter Milan, no one can do anything about it.
Benitez chose to believe in Yang Cheng.
In fact, Espanyol himself is very clear that it is impossible to fight the surprises because they are so familiar with each other. It is not difficult to find out the opponent's tactics and starting lineup. Therefore, the key to the victory or defeat of this game is not tactics, but the physical and psychological preparations of the players of the two teams.
It can be said that whoever does better in these two aspects will be able to win the game.
Benitez understands this, and both Yang Cheng and Ancelotti understand it too.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Cheng believes that Ancelotti will attack at the beginning.
Indeed, AC Milan has suffered losses in this regard, but sometimes it is like this. You have suffered losses, but you still have to do this because if you don’t attack, you will have no chance at all.

The players warmed up on the court, and the fans had already entered the court one after another.
In the North Stand at Old Trafford Stadium, Inter Milan fans completely dyed the entire North Stand into blue and black, and pulled out a huge, ultra-long banner with the words: "Come on, we will win the Champions League again and create a triple-championship!"
There are other scattered but conspicuous banners and slogans, "The great Inter Milan will be born tonight!", "Get over and pay homage to the European king, Milan's losers!", "Kill those damn Rosenile, brave blue and black warriors!"
As for the slogans and provocations of Inter Milan fans, AC Milan fans also fought back. They also pulled out various banners and slogans to criticize and humiliate Inter Milan and the fans, and even shouted that they would make Inter Milan kneel at their feet.
The entire Old Trafford Stadium, the shouts of Inter Milan and AC Milan were heard one after another, and the songs of the two teams were heard everywhere. The fans of both sides created huge momentum and were desperately trying to overwhelm the other in momentum.
The number of tickets for fans on both sides is the same, and the number of fans on both sides is similar. In the neutral ticket area, fans on both sides are also very different to prevent conflicts between the two sides.
This makes the entire stands of Old Trafford Stadium clearly differentiate and no one has the advantage.
When the time was almost over, the players on both sides walked back to the locker room one after another.
The decisive battle is coming soon!
The entire Old Trafford Stadium is filled with tensions of storms!

In the home team's locker room, Inter Milan players were preparing for the pre-match in an orderly manner.
Almost everyone took off their clothes and prepared to change into a dry sportswear. For them, the comfort of the sportswear may affect their performance, and they want to prevent this from happening.
Yang Cheng quietly watched the players prepare in the locker room.
When all of them calmed down and sat in front of the wardrobe, preparing for the final preparations before the competition, he walked out and came to the middle of the locker room.
"At this time, no matter how you talk about tactics or cooperation, it's useless. It's a waste of time. I'll focus on making two requests on you, and you can keep them firmly in my heart!"
"First, the mentality must be relaxed. We have experienced a Champions League final, we have defeated countless strong enemies, and we have achieved countless glory. We are not a newly formed team. We have enough experience to deal with the current situation. I believe you all should understand how important it is to maintain a relaxed mentality in this kind of game."
Yang Cheng slowly swept over every player, "The more nervous you are and the more persistent you want to win, the worse you will perform. So I hope you can treat this game with a normal mind. AC Milan is just a very ordinary opponent, and this is just an ordinary league. What we have to do is just to face this game actively and actively win the victory of this game, that's all."
The players nodded one by one.
"Second, patience. I ask each of you to bring me enough patience and everyone must be mentally prepared because our opponents are very tenacious. Even after 90 minutes of this game, it will still be a 0:0 game. At this time..." Yang Cheng deliberately paused and gave the players some room for thinking, "We must continue to maintain patience and confidence."
"But one thing is very important, that is, once the game enters a stalemate, no one can have a negative mentality, and they cannot think in their minds about how not to lose the ball or make mistakes, because the more you think so, the more you lose the ball and the mistakes will come to you at any time!"
"We are Inter Milan, we have always been a whole. Even in the most difficult and stalemate time, we have a group of teammates around us. We all have to support each other. We must actively and bravely face difficulties and solve them. Therefore, even in a long stalemate, even when our physical fitness is almost consumed by time, we cannot shake our beliefs, we will win!"
In fact, in many football matches, especially such critical finals, the more they are, the more they are, both sides become afraid of making mistakes, fear of losing the ball, and then become conservative, which eventually leads to mistakes.
Yang Cheng always believed one thing, that is, proactive tactics are always more advantageous than passiveness.
It’s like he always believes in one sentence, and his destiny is in his own hands.
"Tonight, in this stadium, everything may happen. Maybe we will lose the ball first, maybe our opponents will play better than us, maybe we will lose and lose. But I hope everyone can trust each other, trust me, trust your teammates, and trust yourself."
"From this season to now, we have experienced a lot and paid a lot. We finally walked into this stadium. We finally had the opportunity to stand on the top of Europe again and create the history of Italian football."
Yang Cheng held his right fist and said word by word: "I believe that my team is the strongest!"
"I believe that we will be the best tonight!"
"I believe that the final winner tonight will definitely be us!"
"I believe even more that you will never let all of us down!"
"I have always believed in you very much, and I even believe in you more than you yourself, because I am your head coach and your boss. I tell you that if you can do it, then you will definitely do it!"
"Okay, we can do it!"
"It can definitely be done!"
The players stood up excitedly, and each of them was full of fighting spirit and wanted to rush out of the locker room door.
Yang Cheng paused and was very satisfied with the morale shown by the players, but this time he did not let them go out of the locker room directly because he did not want them to be excited to enter the game from the beginning, but hoped that they could continue this excitement throughout the game.
"Next, you can all quietly think about our season, think about every game, every opponent we have experienced, and every dilemma we have encountered. Think about how we got through it? Think about it again, are we afraid of losing? Have you ever lost?"
After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he nodded to Paul Bayer in the distance, and a melodious melody immediately floated in the locker room, and then gradually added more rock and heavy metal music elements, gradually pushing the music to a climax.
This was what Yang Cheng prepared after reaching the finals. He was a fan of World of Warcraft in his previous life. After watching [Internet Addiction War], he liked this song [Free Bell] very much. He had heard it countless times and could recite the melody and other things. Therefore, he specially made it and used it in the locker room to inspire the players' fighting spirit.
Today, this song is just a melody and has not been sung, but Yang Cheng has heard it many times and is very satisfied with the effect. The assistants also think it is quite good after listening to it. After all, it was Yang Cheng hummed it and made by professionals. The quality is still very reliable and will not lose to the song in his previous life at all.
When music started to play in the locker room, Yang Cheng stood inside the door of the locker room.
Not long after, the referee rang a ringtone in the referee room, asking all players to gather in the player's passage and wait for the appearance.
After Yang Cheng heard the ringtone, he signaled everyone in the locker room to continue, while Yang Cheng himself turned around and walked out of the locker room door.
I saw that Ancelotti and others in the away team's locker room were already greeting the AC Milan players. They walked out of the player's passage one after another, lined up in neat queues, and walked forward slowly. When they passed by Yang Cheng, they all looked at him with malicious intentions.
Ancelotti landed at the last head. He looked at Yang Cheng standing at the door with some suspicion, unable to tell what trick this Chinese was doing.
"Hello, Mr. Ancelotti!" Yang Cheng greeted with a smile.
To be continued...
