The team had a bit of adaptive training and set-point practice in the afternoon. ┏ × ④③⑨⑨┛ The morale of the players is very high, and at the same time, there is a tension spreading.
The last time Inter Milan entered the Champions League final was more than 30 years ago. The last time they entered the final was in the 1971-72 season before the Champions League restructuring.
None of the current players have experience in the Champions League final. This lack of experience is likely to be fatal when it appears on the field.
Of course, from this point, Liverpool is similar.
Maybe they're also nervous about the training ground.
After the training, the players returned to the hotel. Mancini did not allow everyone to go out to avoid accidents.
Someone was playing games in the room, and some were chatting. Ronaldo found a few people playing poker. Ricardo played table tennis with Adriano, Zemalia and several Italian players.
There is no suspense in the outcome, and Ricardo has naturally become the highest table tennis player in the team.
After Adriano was beaten 21: 3, he threw the racket and sighed, "I almost forgot that you have half of Chinese ancestry, and you should not ask you to play table tennis. In this world, no one is Chinese rivals. "
"Do you continue?" Ricardo asked with a smile.
"No longer, playing with you is too depressing, it will affect the state of the game at night," Adriano laughed proudly. "I'm not like someone, I want to start."
He and Ricardo are too familiar with each other, and he does not want to make such a joke.
Ricardo didn't care, but someone was lying next to him, Vieri's face was depressed, and Zemalia looked a little sad.
Who doesn't want to play in the Champions League final? For most players, reaching the UEFA Champions League final is a rare occurrence in their lifetime. If you can only be a spectator, it is even more depressing that you have not even made the big list like Vieri, the feeling in your heart is too It's complicated.
Adriano didn't realize that he had said something wrong, nor did he notice that the players around him were getting worse. Although he was 23 years old, he was born in 1982, but he was still an immature boy with low emotional intelligence Not even Ricardo.
After having dinner with high-energy food, the team set off for Ataturk Olympic Stadium.
The fans also started to enter the court early. When the players from both sides started to warm up, a large number of fans from both sides have already entered the field.
According to official statistics, this peak battle has attracted 80,000 fans to watch the game. Among them, there are about 12,000 Inter Milan fans from Italy, Liverpool fans are a little bit more, and there are some scattered foreign countries. Fans, the rest are Turkish fans.
When the team warmed up, the fans on both sides had begun to beat each other, trying to overwhelm each other. Inter Milan fans sang "PazzaInter" while Liverpool fans sang their famous "You'llneverwalkalone". The singing is intertwined, but just as distinct as the two teams warming up on the pitch.
Ricardo has no special feelings for this Liverpool player. Except for his respect for Gerard, the rest of the players have a general impression. This Liverpool lacks a superstar, not even a player who wants him to exchange jerseys.
He likes Owen very much, but unfortunately Owen has gone to Real Madrid.
Ronaldo is quite popular. As the first person in football today, he is not lacking fans everywhere. Cisse and Baros have found opportunities to talk to him and express admiration for him. Come over and talk with him almost.
Inter's coaching team just got a big list of Liverpool appearances. Liverpool's starting midfield and backcourt players are exactly the same as they expected in advance. The single forward did not choose Cisse, who performed well in the league, but chose a stronger and more technical Baros, and the steals chose Kewell.
This is a bit unexpected. After all, Cowell played only seven games throughout 2005 and has been plagued by injuries. The Inter Milan coaching staff thought that he would not start.
Kewell is very good and fast, and another candidate in this position Smichel is two different types of players. Mancini hurriedly conceives countermeasures, and will issue new players to the players in the locker room. instruction.
Cowell must not underestimate him because of too many injuries and poor condition this season. Once he broke out, the damage caused is amazing. He played 182 times and scored 46 goals while playing for Leeds United. As a player closer to the midfield, his scoring efficiency is not low.
Inter had offered him 25 million euros in 2000 to buy him, but was unsuccessful, after which his status declined. He came to Liverpool as Leeds was caught in a financial crisis to sell players.
This is definitely a player who needs focus.
As for the Baros on the front line, Mancini doesn't value it very much, and 10 Baros are not as threatening as one Ronaldo.
Also in Liverpool's front are Gerald and Harvey Alonso.
Gerrard is the heart of Liverpool, a spiritual leader, an important scoring point, and a midfield engine. His importance and the role he plays in the team need not be mentioned.
Xavi Alonso is Liverpool's midfielder and metronome. He shines under Spanish coach Benitez and is one of Liverpool's most indispensable players.
He and Gerrard are currently the only world class in Liverpool.
As for the other players, they are all players with obvious advantages and disadvantages, most of them are in the middle and lower levels of the intercontinental level. In terms of "star taste", there is a lot of gaps with the Inter Milan lineup.
Liverpool's 442 today is likely to use a parallel position. Harvey Alonso and Gerrard joined together to occupy the midfield. Lisse on the left and Luis Garcia on the right.
Among them, Liser is a typical offensive and defensive winger. Maybe he is more suitable for the position of left back. His long shots and free kicks are Liverpool's important offensive weapons.
And Luis Garcia is an excellent Spanish winger with a weak defensive ability. His attack power cannot be underestimated and he is good at cutting. If he debuted in an era where he prefers to use incutting wingers, he may shine more. He scored wonderful goals against Juventus and Chelsea, and is also a player that Inter Milan cannot ignore.
Not to mention Liverpool's back line of defense The advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious. Facing forwards like Ronaldo and Adriano, they cannot miss the ball, but the problem is how many.
After warming up, both parties returned to the locker room.
Inter's players quietly listened to the adjustments made by Mancini.
Eventually Mancini stopped explaining, he paused, and suddenly waved his hand, his voice raised: "Gentlemen, you have been longing to stand here, and now you are standing here. You have paid a lot before finally coming here, I am proud of you. "
"I know, you all yearn for that trophy. And this is the closest we have to that trophy. Missing this time, I don't know if there will be such a good opportunity in the future."
"So go to great lengths and don't leave regrets in your career."
"'Get the Champions League runner-up' and 'Win the Champions League trophy' are completely different concepts."
"So, let me fight bravely, step on the high podium of the Liverpool corpse!"
