When Yin Jun's parents and family were led by Christy to the VIP box in the stands, the game was about to start.

At this time, the names of the players from both sides are being played on the radio, and every name that is read out will win huge cheers from the stands.

The commentator is also introducing the starting rosters of both sides.

In this game, Monaco has drawn the home team, and they will play in the home jersey.The away team Manchester United will wear the away blue jersey.

摩纳哥出场阵容(4321)：门将30号罗马；后卫线4号伊巴拉，27号罗德里格斯，32号吉韦，3号埃弗拉；三后腰14号西塞，7号贝纳尔迪，15号齐科斯；前卫8号队长久利，25号罗滕；单前锋10号莫伦特斯。

There is nothing too surprising about the formation of the two teams. Both Ferguson and Deschamps have sent the strongest lineup in their hands.For Monaco, it is a little surprising that Pursau did not start.For Manchester United, there are certain problems in the defense, but there is nothing to do. Ferdinand is still in the suspension period. Although the Belgian defender Van Buyten introduced in the winter window has recovered from injury, Ferguson did not dare to let him start. Helpless We can only continue to trust Wes Brown.

In the stands, there are also celebrities gathered, Prince Rainier III of Monaco, Prince Albert, Prince William of the British royal family, British Prime Minister Blair, Barroso, Chrissman, Schumacher, Samaranch, and Manchester United star Charlie Sir Leighton and others came to watch the battle.

………………

Manchester United captain Roy Keane shook hands with the three referees and Monaco's captain, Jolly, before walking back to his own half and waving for everyone to gather around.

"Guys, we're making club history!" said Roy Keane, holding out a hand.

"Champion! We want a champion!" Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy stretched out his hand and said.

"Yes, champion!" Giggs stretched out his hand.

"Champion!" Ronaldo pressed his hand.

"Champion!" Yin Jun shouted.

"Champions!" Scholes exclaimed.

"champion!"

"champion!"

……

Eleven players, their palms stacked up, higher and higher.Everyone's expressions are serious, excited, eager and courageous!
Everyone's hands were piled together. As the captain, Keane looked at the crowd and said again: "I am honored to be able to play football, fight together, and compete for the championship with everyone. I hope this championship is not the end, but our goal." Another starting point for chasing more honors!"

After a pause, the iron-blooded veteran who was about to turn 33 years old shouted loudly: "Champion!"

Everyone was emotional, and together with their captain, they pressed their palms hard and shouted loudly: Champion!champion!champion!
On the Monaco side, the Monaco players also formed a circle, and they were also undergoing the final pre-war mobilization.

"This is the stage of the Champions League final, my friends!" Monaco's captain Jiuli said today. "Let's lift the championship trophy and bring the glory back to Monaco. Let's work together!"

………………

Players from both sides stand in their respective positions and wait for the kick-off.

The ever-noisy Schalke Stadium also fell silent at this moment, and everyone was waiting for the opening whistle to sound.

When the referee was on duty, the Dane Nelson looked at the players on both sides, then at the time, and then at the fourth official on the sidelines, and then he blew his whistle vigorously.

Monaco kicks off first.

This high-profile Champions League final game has entered the rhythm of Monaco from the very beginning.The Ligue [-] team took the lead in attacking Manchester United.

This is what it should mean, and not surprising.

Although Monaco is slightly inferior in terms of strength, the more so, the more often it is necessary to grab a wave.This is a temptation, but also a psychological tactic.The general meaning is to tell the other party, I am not afraid of you!

Of course, if it can disrupt the opponent's rhythm and tactics, that would be even better.

Giuly played very actively on the right. In the second and third minutes respectively, he dribbled the ball twice. Although he failed to form a shot, it also gave Monaco's offense momentum.

Evra and Ibarra were also very active on the two wings, and they pressed frequently during this wave of attacks.These two full-backs are types with strong assisting ability. Evra is a French native defender, and Ibarra is on loan from Porto. He was abandoned by Mourinho before because he focused on offense and light defense, so Mourinho will trust Ferreira more.

It can be said that from the very beginning, Monaco played very passionately and aggressively.

………………

United are not against Monaco.When Ferguson arranged tasks before the game, he repeatedly emphasized that Manchester United should focus on stability in combat, and strive to stabilize the defense first, and then slowly attack.

Monaco's opening attack made it logical for Manchester United to take the defensive.Especially for the defense of the two flanks, both Giggs and Ronaldo retreated more actively, especially Ronaldo ran very hard, coupled with the double midfielders behind, ensured that Manchester United's defense was solid.

But in the opening 7 minutes, Manchester United got a good chance.

After the double midfielder intercepted the ball from the center line, Keane quickly handed the ball to Ronaldo on the right, instigating a quick counterattack.

At this time, Yin Jun had already stretched out his hand and pointed forward, signaling Ronaldo to pass the ball quickly so that he could go straight behind Monaco's defense.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was playing such an important game as the Champions League final for the first time, seemed a little nervous. In a hurry, he didn't know whether he didn't pay attention or reacted. , The ball was also broken.

In just a few seconds, Manchester United switched from defense to offense, and then from offense to defense, and Monaco created the first shot of the game.Morientes headed the goal slightly higher.

Ronaldo got up from the grass bitterly, looking very remorseful, and regretted the mistake just now.

Yin Jun ran back from the front, reached out and touched Ronaldo's head, and comforted him: "It's okay, it's like this for the first time, and I get nervous easily."

"I was a little confused just now." Ronaldo hurriedly explained, he was afraid that Yin Jun would misunderstand that he wanted to show off deliberately, so he didn't pass the ball.

Yin Jun smiled, touched his head harder, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and get ready. Remember, this is the final of the Champions League. Every time you handle the ball, you must be clean and tidy, otherwise our goal may be exposed. Under the opponent's attack, don't act recklessly!"

Ronaldo kept nodding, remembering Yin Jun's words.
