Chapter 378 Destined

Real Madrid took the bus and rushed to the main road to the Kiev Olympic Stadium before Liverpool took the bus. Most of the Liverpool players on the red bus cursed the Real Madrid bus driver for his lack of quality. Klopp, Li Qing, Milner and a few others could It seems possible that Real Madrid coach Zidane or Real Madrid's big-name players asked the bus driver to do this.

The bus driver is employed by the organizer and will obviously not violate traffic regulations at such a time of high exposure. Therefore, it is very likely that Real Madrid coach Zidane or other star players asked the driver to do so.

The two buses entered the dedicated passage for the home and away teams. Li Qing, who was heading to the visiting team's locker room, noticed that the columnist who knew the game had posted that Real Madrid's bus was trying to get in the way and forced Liverpool's bus to brake suddenly, and there were thousands of comments.

Some fans think that there is nothing wrong with Real Madrid taking the white bus and hope that the poster will not engage in conspiracy theories. Some fans believe that Real Madrid is starting a psychological war with the Liverpool team in advance in order to gain an advantage in the next Champions League final. Some fans also hold a wait-and-see attitude. , not helping each other.

Li Qing thinks that Real Madrid is playing psychological warfare with the team by stealing the way. What is the reality?

It was Real Madrid manager Miguel Cento who wanted to kill two birds with one stone in this way. One was to bring psychological pressure to Liverpool, and the other was to bring goodwill, that is, to take the lead.

It was equivalent to the entire Real Madrid team taking the blame for Miguel Cento, so the Real Madrid players who saw the immediate media reports felt speechless, especially Ronaldo.

He believes that defeating Liverpool should be done openly and there is no need for such small tricks.

If small moves can win the game, why bother working hard?

Of course, the matter has already happened, and there is no use in explaining it. It will even leave criticism to those who are interested.

"aoaoaooaooaoooooo——"

More than an hour before the game, players from both sides came to the stadium to warm up one after another. About 60% of the fans came to the Kiev Olympic Stadium, and the empty seats were slowly filling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Real Madrid was drawn as the home team in the Champions League final and had a die-hard stand selection area. Real Madrid die-hard fans who are accustomed to the south stand gathered in the south stand of the Kiev Olympic Stadium, while Liverpool fans inhabited the north stand.

In front of the south and north stands, there is a huge team emblem, like an opposing battle flag, symbolizing that the final is imminent.

The die-hard fans of the two teams wore their respective home white jerseys and red jerseys, extending to both sides. Looking through the helicopter's overhead shot, the formations formed by the fans of the two teams looked like flames and white clouds, with the Jinghe River clearly visible, the main stand and the auxiliary stand. There were fans from all walks of life, so it looked a bit disorganized.

The chants mainly came from the south and north stands, and because the fans had not yet fully entered, the chants were not particularly loud.

The Champions League final is very important for both sides of the game, because no team enters the final with the goal of being runner-up. In order to perform well in the next game, the players have to warm up very fully, especially the starting players.

Every action of Li Qing, Salah, Firmino and Mane is required to be very standard. The Champions League final is a competition that symbolizes the highest level of world football. Everyone wants to be the protagonist, even if Li Qing and Cristiano Ronaldo are The player identified as the most likely protagonist by media and fans around the world.

In the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League finals, Li Qing scored a total of 22 goals. Ronaldo scored 15 goals in the past twelve games. However, since Real Madrid advanced to the semi-finals, Ronaldo has failed to qualify in two Champions League semi-finals. Scoring a goal is quite depressing for Real Madrid fans.

Liverpool's leading striker Li Qing is a strong player. If Ronaldo cannot break the record of not scoring in two consecutive Champions League games in the Champions League final, then even if Real Madrid has a better lineup, it will be difficult to defeat Liverpool at the Kyiv Olympic Stadium.

On the other side, the Real Madrid players were also very active in their preparation activities, and even became more and more excited in the fanatical atmosphere.

There was still an hour before the start of the game. UEFA officially announced the starting lineups of both sides of the game. The major media immediately reprinted it for fans who were waiting in front of the TV or computer monitors to watch the announcement of the starting lineup.

Except for some surprises in a few positions, Real Madrid's starting lineup has no shooting difference from what the media predicted before the game. The official formation is 4312, with goalkeeper Navas and defenders Marcelo, Varane, Ramos and Cava. Hal, midfielder Modric, Toni Kroos and Casemiro, attacking midfielder Isco, and forward is Ronaldo's partner Benzema.

Liverpool still uses the usual 433 formation, with goalkeeper Karius, defenders Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip and Alexander-Arnold, midfielders Henderson, Wijnaldum and Emre Can, and forwards Mane, Firmino and Li Qing.

…

Zidane didn't feel any surprise when he got the Liverpool starting list. It can even be said that he guessed all the positions correctly. The biggest controversy in the media before the game about Liverpool's starting lineup was whether Li Qing would play as an attacking midfielder, and Zidane The idea is that Li Qing will not appear in the front midfielder.

Why?

The reason is very simple. When the Champions League reaches the final, any team will seek stability first. People who are familiar with Li Qing know that he rarely participates in defense. Klopp led Dortmund to the Champions League final and suffered a lot, so he will definitely emphasize defense. Li Qing's appointment as the right winger saves him some trouble.

If Klopp knew Zidane's idea, he would definitely be speechless. Originally, according to his idea, Li Qing, Mane, Firmino and Salah would start at the same time, but after discussing with two assistants before submitting the starting list, he finally decided not to rush to start, that is, let Salah sit on the bench.

Klopp, who got the starting lineup of Real Madrid, guessed it almost right before the game. He thought the starting player would be Vazquez or Asensio, but he was replaced by Isco.

However, for Klopp, the time to think of a solution is enough, after all, it is nearly half an hour before the players finish warming up and return to the locker room.

When Liverpool players returned to the locker room one after another, head coach Klopp suddenly shouted, and the players who were about to take a shower turned their heads subconsciously.

"While you were warming up, Zeljko, Peter and I decided to make adjustments in some positions. Emre Can replaced Mohammed and Li played as the right winger."

As soon as Klopp finished speaking, Salah, Emre Can and Li Qing all changed their faces.

Salah's change is that he is depressed and surprised that he did not start the game. Emre Can is surprised, and Li Qing... is depressed.

According to the original historical trajectory, Salah, who played as a right winger, was "killed" by Ramos. Although Salah quickly caught up with the World Cup, his injury was not fully recovered, which had a huge impact, which was no different from missing the World Cup.

So replacing Salah as a right winger, wouldn't it copy Salah's injury?

Although he has an item of severe injury immunity, which can be immune to severe injuries once, it is somewhat not worth using here...

Destined?

Oh-My-God!
