Super Marshal

The bus from the hotel to Old Trafford was eerily quiet.

The street outside the car is noisy.

The Old Trafford Stadium, which can accommodate more than 70,000 fans, will be full tonight. 20,000 to 30,000 fans from the two teams came to the scene, and there are still many fans who failed to enter the stadium. They are scattered in Old Trafford Ford around.

The closer to the stadium, the more fans, the more congested the road.

At the beginning, there were constant yelling and cursing from rival fans, and some even secretly threw plastic bottles at the bus windows.

The piercing sirens pierced through the sealed car windows, and the police shouting on the loudspeakers kept warning the fans on both sides.

There are too many people and the order cannot be controlled, and that will have unimaginable consequences.

Fortunately, they did a good job.

The noise outside the car made the silence inside the car extremely abnormal.

Every player is sitting in his own position, with his own thoughts.

Since this morning, each of them has spent in a tense atmosphere.

Everyone knows that the most important game in their careers is coming soon. Whether it will be recorded in history or become a stepping stone for their opponents depends on their performance in the 90-minute game.

Gao Han sat in the first row of the bus, the seat exclusive to him. He closed his eyes and took a nap, feeling the bus wriggling slowly in the flow of people. When there was cheering outside, it must have passed the Atlético de Madrid fans gathering area. If it is shouting and cursing, it must be the fans of the opponent AC Milan.

The path, named after Manchester United legend Sir Matt Busby, is not long, but it feels like a long walk.

It's finally here!

Hearing the sound of brakes, Gao Han opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

Outside the car were all Atlético de Madrid fans, they surrounded the whole bus, the driver didn't even dare to open the door, everyone was waiting for the on-site staff to come to maintain order.

Gao Han took out his mobile phone, and there were many text messages from people in it.

Xiang Tianming and his parents have already entered the arena and found their seats. They are all wishing Gao Han victory.

Lin Xia and Chu Yao came to the scene to interview on behalf of the Spanish branch of the Chinese News Agency, and they also entered the venue, in the media area.

Javier Mattayana and Jose Ramon de la Morena also sent messages of congratulations.

And that unknown little Israeli girl who sent a rather playful text message.

"Idol, I'm here, please rest assured."

"I skipped school and ran away from home. Before I left, I made a bet with my classmates. You must not lose, otherwise I will have no face to go home. I will always support you!"

For this cute little fan, Gao Han responded with a smile.

Feeling a bit feminine!

The response of the police and staff was quick. As soon as the bus arrived, they immediately came to maintain order.

Enthusiastic fans cooperated with their work, but there were still many fans who kept shouting and even banging on the car door, encouraging the team to go up and down.

They hope to use their voices to bring strength to the players.

"Don't let them down, guys!" Gao Han stood up and shouted at the players in the carriage.

Everyone nodded solemnly.

"let's go!"

At the moment when the car door opened wide, the voices of the fans rushed towards us like a tidal wave.

Gao Han got off the bus first, waved to the enthusiastic fans with the police and staff on both sides clearing the way, and walked quickly into the entrance of the Old Trafford Stadium.

According to Gao Han's original plan, the team should conduct pre-match training in advance.

Unexpectedly, AC Milan entered the stadium at about the same time as them.

This also made Gao Han feel the determination of AC Milan.

"It seems that you have met your opponent this time!" Ferguson's voice sounded beside him.

The Manchester United manager made the trip to meet him before the game and needless to say, that was support in itself.

Gao Han took a deep look at the AC Milan players on the field and Ancelotti on the sidelines, without saying a word.

The Rossoneri's calculations are the same as his. They have to enter the game state from the beginning, so they have to warm up and train in advance.

Although it is only a trivial detail, it can be seen that Ancelotti attaches great importance to it.

"You guys, the most important thing is to stay calm, be patient, give full play to the advantages of passing and controlling, fight when you have the opportunity, and control when you don't have the opportunity, don't rush, and look for opportunities slowly."

Gao Han understood what Ferguson said, but he still smiled and thanked him.

Don't look at Atletico Madrid's winning streak all the way, but in fact, in the face of these powerful opponents, the Sheets Legion does not have an absolute advantage in strength. In the final analysis, it is because the team is too young.

Although the Young Guards are full of passion and drive, everyone is eager to win, but there are also natural weaknesses of lack of experience and patience.

Especially in this kind of final, facing an old fritter like AC Milan, it is even more obvious.

"Remember, no matter what happens, you can't rush." ​​Ferguson patted Gao Han's shoulder earnestly and said.

Gao Han smiled at him, "Understood, after the game, I will treat you to a drink."

Ferguson laughed, turned and walked back to the passage.

There is still an hour before the game, AC Milan took the lead in announcing their starting list.

This surprised the reporters in the media area.

"Single striker?"

"My God, AC Milan has changed to a single striker!"

The media area was completely fried.

In such an important game, any troubles between the two teams will be noticed by media reporters and magnified.

"Goalkeeper Dida, the defense is Kaladze, Maldini, Nesta and Costacurta, the three midfielders are Ambrosini, Pirlo and Gattuso, and the two attacking midfielders are Seedorf and Rouge. I Costa, the lone striker is Inzaghi."

Four three two one, Christmas tree formation, this is a bit different from the double striker style adopted by AC Milan some time ago.

The addition of a midfielder is obviously to strengthen the midfielder.

"It seems that tonight's AC Milan will pay more attention to defense than ever before."

"Who says it's not? Look at this lineup, it must be defensive and counterattack."

"Atletico Madrid has encountered a tough bone this time. Ancelotti's team has not conceded a goal since the knockout round."

"And they have more experience, each of them is a well-known general who has experienced many battles, so it is difficult to deal with."

"Now it depends on whether Atletico Madrid can stabilize their position, and don't make the mistakes of Deportivo."

...

The media reporters talked a lot, making Lin Xia's beautiful face full of worry.

This is the most important game since Gao Han's debut. If he wins, he will establish his position in European football. If he loses, although he will not be beaten back to his original shape, he will definitely be hit hard.

Moreover, just last night, Gao Han called her and mentioned a bet he had made with himself at the beginning of the season.

"If I win tomorrow night, I will do one thing!"

Gao Han didn't say what was going on, and Lin Xia didn't ask, but she was a witness to the game.

And she could also feel the strong desire to win in Gao Han's heart.

But I'm afraid that he is too obsessed with victory and fell into the trap of Ancelotti.

"Don't worry, Gao Han must have his own measure." Mataiana persuaded from the side.

Lin Xia couldn't hide her worry, but she could only pray in her heart.

"Goalkeeper, Cech."

Upon hearing Gao Han's roll call, Petr Cech immediately stood up from his seat, nodded to his teammates around him, and then sat back down again, with a dignified face throughout the process.

Gao Han also took a deep look at Cech, and continued to point out the starting lineup.

"Left back, Jankulovski."

"Left centre-back, Carvalho."

"Right centre-back, Marchena."

"Right back, Dario Srna."

"Left midfielder, Deco."

"Deep midfield, Xabi Alonso."

"Right midfielder, Marcos Senna."

"Shoot forward, Kaka."

"Forward, Villa."

"Also, Torres."

Every time Gao Han pronounced a player's name, they would stand up solemnly, nod to their teammates before sitting back.

This is Atlético Madrid's starting XI, with the remaining seven players on the bench.

Gao Han looked around at the players in the locker room, trying to make himself look more relaxed and calm.

"At the tactical level, what should be said and what should be noted, we have said it before, and I will remind you again, don't make those unnecessary fouls easily, because the opponent's free kicks are very good, especially in our threat area. "

"Also, after the start of the game, we have to work hard to control the ball and the rhythm in our hands. Believe me, AC Milan will definitely be a defensive counterattack, but they are likely to rush after the opening. We must control the situation and stabilize the situation. Rhythm."

"Even if we are unlucky and we lose the ball first, it doesn't matter, we continue to stick to our ideas and thinking, and we must not let our opponents lead us by the nose, otherwise, we will surely die."

The players all nodded.

After the team reached the Champions League final, Atletico Madrid's training centered around this game.

Everyone has also carefully prepared for this game for half a month. Everyone is very clear about what they should do and what they should not do after they step on the court.

"There is no doubt that this will be the most important game of all of you so far in your career. This is the Champions League final, but I must remind you, what is it that we are able to walk into this stadium?"

Every player raised his head and looked at his coach.

"My request to you is very simple, don't think about winning or losing, focus on it, don't make mistakes, follow our pre-match arrangements, and play according to the rhythm we are familiar with."

"You must believe in me. As long as you believe in me and listen to me, then we will definitely be able to defeat our opponents."

"During the game, no matter what happens, no matter what you encounter, you must not be chaotic or anxious. You can see me at any time, and I will always stand and fight with you."

The players kept nodding their heads in agreement.

Their trust in Gao Han has been around for a long time. It was not obtained in a few words or a few games, but in the past two and a half years, Gao Han led the team to win one after another. .

"Come on guys, answer me, do you believe me?"

Gao Han stretched out his hands towards the players on both sides.

All the players on both sides stood up, stretched out their hands, grabbed Gao Han's hand vigorously, and overlapped each other.

"letter!"

"letter!!"

"letter!!!"

"Very good!" Gao Han nodded vigorously.

"Let's go!"
