Chapter 372 The Game Begins

But Li Yi didn't know that there were two unexpected people who came with his uncle's family, Liu Ruofei and Yang Min, both of them happened to be in Hengdian, and they both happened to have time, so they had the idea of ​​coming to Europe to experience the charm of football.

In the stands, the fans are already in place. The stadium that can accommodate more than 8 people is full of seats, and the supply is even in short supply. Many fans are in the square outside the stadium, and even bars and hotels in Istanbul.

As the protagonists of this game, both teams have finished warming up and returned to the locker room to make final preparations.

"Guys Are you nervous? Excited? Anyway, I'm nervous and excited." Li Yi didn't give the players a chance to reply.

"But I don't think Fernando will be nervous or excited. After all, he has won three Champions League titles," Li Yi said, turning to Hierro.

"Nono no, no matter how much you participate in a match like the Champions League final, you will be nervous and excited. I was so nervous that I didn't sleep well last night," Hierro said shaking his head.

"Hey Will it affect your state today? If not, you have to tell me. I think Gio and Adil will definitely not mind replacing you. You know, we are going for the championship." After Li Yi finished speaking, Chiellini and Lamy, who were already wearing substitute uniforms, immediately took off their clothes, and then made a bodybuilding movement.

"No Actually, I was joking. I'm not nervous or excited at all. Anyway, I've already won three championships." Hierro shrugged and said with a relaxed and helpless expression.

Li Yi and Hierro were very successful. At least the nervousness on the players' faces was replaced by smiles.

"Guys It's normal to be nervous and excited, and I believe the same is true in the locker room on the other side, so both sides are equal," Li Yi continued.

"But at the same time, it is unequal, because we have an advantage. In the league this season, AC Milan has not defeated us."

"Just like in the quarterfinals, Juventus had nothing to do with us. Now I believe AC Milan will do the same. You know, AC Milan's performance in the league is not as good as Juventus." Cagliari is almost crushing in the league this season.

"So, as long as we can overcome our nervousness and excitement and not let these two emotions affect us, then the final victory of this game belongs to us."

"ChampionGuys, I'm waiting for nine or ten minutes to stand on top of Europe and celebrate that great moment together." Li Yi successfully relieved the tension of the Cagliari players and mobilized their emotions.

Of course, there are still some differences from the locker room to the stadium, especially in such an important game, this will be magnified invisible, so everything can only be verified after the game starts.

Soon, players from both sides met in the player tunnel and became familiar with each other. Although this was not the first time AC Milan experienced a civil war in the Champions League final, it still gave them the illusion that they were in the league.

But thinking of the league, the faces of AC Milan players become very ugly. This season, AC Milan has not won Cagliari in the league, and the unbeaten record of 58 games that AC Milan is proud of was also broken by Cagliari.

In contrast, Cagliari saw the AC Milan players' faces were quite peaceful. After all, since the first match last season, AC Milan has never won against them.

"It's interesting to say that Cagliari's first opponent back in Serie A was AC Milan. In that game, Cagliari showed the level that a newly promoted team should have, and they had no power to fight back against the giants." When the players of both sides were preparing to debut, the commentators from various countries were still talking.

However, who would have thought that after that game, Cagliari immediately lost the immaturity of the newly promoted horse, and never gave AC Milan a chance to win them.

"Come outCome out Audience friendsThe players from Cagliari and AC Milan are on the stage." Under the leadership of the Spanish referee Mehuto Gonzalez, the players from both sides appeared on the stage normally.

"Ooh" As the players from both sides came on the field, the first wave of cheers came from the stands of the Ataturk Stadium.

Cagliari lineup:

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defenders: Balzaretti, Hierro, Barzagli, Maicon
Midfielders: Ribery, Conte, Guardiola, Poborski

Forwards: Milito, Zola

This starting lineup was last season's regular lineup, and this season, Zola and Hierro mostly appeared on the bench, but in the finals, Li Yi will definitely let his hometown play.

AC Milan lineup:

Goalkeeper: Dida

Defenders: Maldini, Stam, Nesta, Cafu
Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf
Front waist: Kaka

Forwards: Crespo, Shevchenko
In this game, Ancelotti did not use the best Christmas tree formation, but AC Milan's formation changed a lot. Obviously, for this game, Ancelotti made a lot of changes and arrangements.

But at this moment, the players on both sides ignored the cheers in the stands, because their eyes were only on the big ear cup, St. Bradley.

"Carlo, I hope the outcome of this game will not affect our friendship." On the sidelines, the coaches of both sides came together.

"I hope this sentence can be effective for you," Ancelotti fought back without showing any weakness.

"HahahaOf course, I hope you can have a pleasant food journey." Li Yi laughed and hugged Ancelotti.

"I've always heard that Li Yi and Ancelotti have a good relationship, and today it's finally confirmed." The camera immediately pulled to the sidelines.

"This is my wish for you," Ancelotti said.

"HeyDudeYou can't stop repeating what I said." Li Yi pretended to be helpless and separated from Ancelotti.

"Isn't Li Yi nervous?" Liu Ruofei and Yang Min said incredulously in the VIP room.

Although the two don't usually pay much attention to football, they also know what kind of final this is and what will be decided in this final, and people can feel the frenzy outside even in the VIP room.

"In the football world, some players are born for big occasions. My brother is this type of head coach," Liu Yao said proudly.

At this time, the score on the court had already started, and the captain of Cagliari won the coin guessing. According to the pre-match arrangement, Caconte chose the opening ball.

Immediately, the referee's whistle sounded, and the curtain of the Champions League final officially opened. Zola passed the ball diagonally to Milito, who turned around and passed it back to Guardiola.

With a diagonal pass, Guardiola did not pause at all, and directly passed the ball into the AC Milan half, and passed it to Poborski, who was plugging in at high speed.

Facing the captain of AC Milan, Poboski didn't have the slightest intention to stop, and rushed, but soon, the referee's whistle sounded.

Foul, AC Milan captain Maldini brought down Poborski.
