Chapter 559 Chapter [196] - The eve of the final - [Today's third update]
The league is over, but Manchester United did not start the holiday like other teams, and now Manchester United still has a very important game to play, and that is the final UEFA Champions League final!
When everyone is on vacation or reporting to the national team, the Manchester United team is still carrying out their daily training. They are preparing for the final Champions League final, because time is running out!They must be well prepared and strive to bring this Champions League home! !
All eyes are on the Spanish Bernabeu, where the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League final will be held.The opponents are Manchester United from the Premier League and Inter Milan from Serie A!
And when the whole world is focusing on the Bernabéu, major media around the world are also reporting on the game, and at this time, Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" reported such a news-the five key figures of Inter Milan who will decide the final!
Watching the theater and watching the corners, it is also those who play football who decide the game on the football field.In the Champions League final at the Bernabeu, who is the most worthy of attention?
NO.1 Diego Milito
"Prince" is the well-deserved best player of Inter Milan this season. He played perfectly in the league and was also the Nerazzurri's killer in the Champions League.Milito scored 3 goals in the Champions League. Among them, the away game against Dynamo Kiev, the home game against Chelsea and Moscow CSKA Inter Milan were all opened by Milito and finally won with one goal. In the home game against Barcelona, Milito dominated the game with one shot and two passes.
Before the Coppa Italia final and the last round of the league, Inter Milan also relied on Milito's decisive goal to finally win the cup. The more critical the game, the more the stage for Milito to perform. Of course, Inter Milan also hopes to do it again at the Bernabeu.
NO.2 Eto'o
Eto'o can never be forgotten in the Champions League final. After all, this is a man who has lifted the Big Ear Cup twice and scored goals in two Champions League finals. He is also the most decisive active player in the Champions League.It was his experience that helped Inter Milan survive the many obstacles in the Champions League. Although there were not many goals this season, Eto'o's two goals at home against Rubin Kazan and away against Chelsea were all key.Many people may have forgotten that Eto'o was also a former Real Madrid player, and the "Cheetah" at the Bernabeu was equally high-spirited.
NO.3 Sneijder
The qualitative change of Inter Milan this season began with the arrival of Sneijder. The Dutchman has become the center of the Nerazzurri's frontcourt attack with his excellent overall view and overall awareness. Inter Milan has successfully transformed from a single fight in the Ibrahimovic era to a team attack this season. Sneijder is the foundation.Therefore, in the Champions League final, Sneijder's performance will be the key to the smooth operation of Inter Milan's offense.Moreover, Sneijder was driven away by Real Madrid last summer. Like Bayern's Arjen Robben, returning to the Bernabeu as the main hero of their respective teams this time is an excellent opportunity for Sneijder to retaliate against his old club.
NO.4 Lucio
Although Lucio was injured at the end of the season, after a few weeks of recuperation, his injury has long been fine.Lucio also held back his energy to make the old owner regret, but his old club was Bayern Munich.After Van Gaal arrived last summer, he almost "can't wait" to drive Lucio away. The Brazilian captain can forget his old worries and new grudges this time.In Inter Milan, Lucio has become the core of the defense. His air defense ability, his back row insertion and brave and decisive fighting spirit have technically perfected Inter Milan's almost perfect defense. Moreover, with his knowledge of Bayern, Lucio will definitely become Mourinho's important staff in the final.
NO.5 Zanetti
The Champions League final is extraordinary for Inter Milan, but it is even more special for Zanetti. As the captain of Inter Milan himself said, "It seems to be destined." The Bernabeu happened to be Zanetti's 700th game on behalf of Inter Milan.If he can win the big ear cup as the captain on such a milestone night, it will undoubtedly be the best reward for Zanetti's 15 years of loyalty and diligence.And although he is almost 37 years old, Zanetti is still indispensable to Inter Milan. Whether he will continue to be the only weak left-back of Inter Milan in this game, or return to the midfield because of Thiago Motta's suspension is a big suspense for Mourinho.
Of course, there are more than these five players worthy of attention: Will Balotelli be reused?Can Cambiasso and Samuel, two former Real Madrid players, become heroes at the Bernabeu?Will Maicon and Rahm's matchup decide the game? ... Such a peak duel is destined to have endless stories.
Of course, when Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" reported such a report, England's "Sun" was not far behind. They also reported the same report-the five key players in the Manchester United team who decided the final!
NO.1 Xu Zhou
"Super Xu" is definitely the biggest hero of Manchester United this season. No matter in the league or in the Champions League, Xu Zhou scored the most goals in the team, and also the most in the league and the Champions League. Moreover, Xu Zhou's goals are all key. In almost every important key game of Manchester United, Xu Zhou will perform a solo savior show. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the biggest hero of Manchester United this season!
Moreover, Xu Zhou's ability is super strong, and he has also won the UEFA Cup, the Olympic Games and the U[-] European Cup.
NO.2 Rooney
Without Xu Zhou, Rooney would definitely be the center of Manchester United's attack after Cristiano Ronaldo left. He would be the sharpest offensive weapon of Manchester United.His goals in the league are second only to Xu Zhou, and he is the silver boot winner of the English Premier League this season. Although Rooney's goals in the Champions League are not many, they are all wonderful and have a huge effect.This kid has seen all kinds of big scenes since his debut, and even participated in the Champions League final several times. His performance will definitely make people's eyes shine!
NO.3 Giggs
Giggs is very important in the Manchester United lineup now. He is not only the spiritual leader of the team, but also a symbol of rich experience. It is almost like he, an experienced old man, is leading this group of little brothers to fight the world. His scheduling in the midfield and sharp breakthroughs on the wing are still the only means for Manchester United to attack. He will definitely be the guarantee for Manchester United to perform well at the Bernabeu!
NO.4 Leo Ferdinand
Rio Ferdinand is the backbone of Manchester United's defense and a barrier in front of Manchester United's goal. His strong defense and command and control of the defense will be the most critical part of Manchester United's solid defense.Rio Ferdinand has been injured and stopped since this season, but this is more able to see his importance to this Manchester United team!Therefore, he is likely to become the most shining star of Manchester United at the Bernabeu!
NO.5 van der Sar
Van der Sar is equally important to this Manchester United team. Although he is older, it is said that after this season, Van der Sar will retire and leave the football field.This is definitely a big blow to the Manchester United team. He is very important to the Manchester United team. In this season, he has saved the team from difficulties many times and kept the goal many times before being able to send Manchester United to the Champions League final. Van der Sar may become the last flash in the Bernabeu!
Of course, in addition to these, there are Nemanja Vidic, Carrick, and Berbatov. They may all decide the final direction of the game. This game will definitely leave us with a widely circulated story! !
The Champions League final is getting closer and closer. England's "Sun" and Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" reported the starting lineups of Inter Milan and Manchester United respectively.In view of the authority of these two major media, their predictions are of considerable reference value.Inter Milan will send three strikers to play, and for Manchester United, they are likely to line up for the second round of the semi-final against Lyon.
At present, all Inter Milan players will go to Madrid with the team. Almost all players in the team are ready to play. Except for the injured Thornton and the suspended Motta, these two will definitely not be able to play.Therefore, Mourinho was unable to line up the starting lineup for the fierce battle against Barcelona.So how would Mad Men adjust? "Gazzetta dello Sport" revealed that, compared to Inter Milan's fierce battle against Barcelona and Chelsea, Mourinho will only make one adjustment, which is that Zanetti will change to play midfielder to replace Motta, while Chivu will play at the left back position.
However, the Italian media still expressed some concerns.This is because the impact of Motta's absence is far greater than people's expectations.This season, Motta's role is extremely obvious. In the game against Chelsea, Motta used his outstanding performance to prevent Lampard from performing. In the first round against Barcelona, Motta's restrictions on Harvey were also the basis for Inter Milan's victory.In the Coppa Italia final, Motta also had a winning assist.The significance of this offensive and defensive midfielder to Inter Milan is far beyond the interpretation of goals and assists.
According to OPTA data, Motta is the player who passes the most balls per unit time and has the highest success rate of forward passes among all midfielders of Inter Milan. Although the data of 4 goals and 4 assists in the league is not particularly dazzling, Inter Milan has more than ten league goals. Motta completed the penultimate pass before shooting.In addition, he averaged a frontcourt steal per 32 minutes in the league. The data is also strong.His absence will give Mourinho a headache. "Gazzetta dello Sport" believes that compared with Motta, Montari is too rough and makes too many mistakes; compared with Motta, Stankovic has a poor sense of position and insufficient organizational skills.Therefore, the most suitable candidate to replace Motta is Zanetti, so that Chivu is the only choice as a left back.
Nani on the left side of Manchester United will be suspended for a yellow card, which also makes Alex Ferguson very headache.According to the report of England's authoritative media "The Sun", Alex Ferguson is likely to let South Korea's king of three lungs, Park Ji-sung, replace Nani in the starting line-up!
Although there is a big gap between Park Ji-sung and Nani, they each have their own strengths.Although Nani's offensive contribution will definitely be greater than that of Park Ji-sung, but in terms of defense, Park Ji-sung is better than Nani, and the three-lung Park's undefeated behavior on the field will definitely make up for Manchester United's offense.And they also have Xu Zhou, a powerful winger, to strengthen Manchester United's offense, so Manchester United is not as stretched as Inter Milan!
"Gazzetta dello Sport" predicts Inter Milan's starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Cesar/Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Chivu/Zanetti, Cambiasso/Pandev, Sneijder, Eto'o/ Milito
"The Sun" Preliminary Manchester United starting (4-4-1-1): Van der Sar/Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, Rafael/Park Ji-sung, Carrick, Giggs, Xu Zhou/Rooney/Berbatov
Before the competition, the saliva first.Before the absolute focus of the Champions League final, how can there be less debate from all sides?
It has always been Mourinho's magic weapon to use speech to irritate opponents or put pressure on opponents before the game. This time against his old opponent Alex Ferguson, Mourinho is also unambiguous.Mourinho sarcastically said on the media opening day: "They only care about referees, because Manchester United can't forget how they eliminated Bayern Munich and Lyon with red cards and penalties..."
After arriving in Madrid, Mourinho went on to spur Manchester United.
"Nani's suspension was the right decision." The coach of Inter Milan said, "The penalty is fair. I watched the video of Nani's foul. It was a foul that could hurt people. In that case, it is normal to add another two to three game suspensions. Maybe this punishment is a bit harsh. He should be allowed to play in next season's game, but there is no doubt about the red card, and additional punishment should be given." The implication is that Nani should not play in the final. What is Manchester United still clamoring for?
Oriali, Inter Milan's transfer consultant, also learned from Mourinho.
"We reached the final because of our outstanding performance. We defeated those teams that were considered to be the favorites in the Champions League in great games and successfully advanced. Manchester United can come here because they played at a high level against Bayern Munich and Lyon. But don't forget that in these two opponents they relied on the referee's red card and a penalty kick to advance!" Oriali satirized Bayern.
In addition, Oriali, who once lifted the Hercules Cup at the Bernabeu, is also eager to reach the top of the world again at the Bernabeu: "We have experienced a thrilling season, and we are eager to make our dreams come true. Of course, all of us know the characteristics of the Red Devils. They never admit defeat and will fight until the last moment. And we will not waste energy thinking about other things, we will concentrate on doing things that can help us win the cup."
