"The Premier League and La Liga teams have monopolized the European finals this season. In the UEFA Cup final a week ago, Sevilla beat Middlesbrough 4-0.

"The Stade de France is full of seats, and players from both sides are warming up. Manchester United's number one star and captain is now attracting attention. As the No.1 in world football today, he won three European Ballon d'Ors and two World Player of the Year awards for himself. Of course, many female fans came here purely to see his handsome face, but it is a pity that this super handsome guy is already famous..."

The TV in the VIP box of the Stade de France is playing Sky Sports' live commentary in English.

And Ye Lanqiu, the protagonist in the narrator's mouth, is in a very good mood at the moment.In terms of career, the first film in her life that can be called a big production has finished filming last month. This is a film she has put a lot of effort into, and she feels very good after filming.In terms of relationship, the relationship with her little boyfriend Yin Jun is very stable. Although Yin Jun played football in the UK, the two got together less and separated more, but this did not affect the development of their relationship.

Moreover, the private jet Gulfstream G550 customized by Yin Jun will be delivered soon, which will definitely change the current situation where it is difficult for the two to get together. At that time, whether Yin Jun flies back to China in his spare time, or she flies to the UK to meet Yin Jun in his spare time. It will be very convenient to get together.

………………

Just when Ye Lanqiu let go of his thoughts, the world-renowned UEFA Champions League final had already started with a whistle from the Norwegian referee Hauge.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United showed a strong desire to attack. Their first attack was very threatening. Rooney flew the header, Evra made a pass from the bottom, and Ronaldinho was pressed by Barcelona player Ronaldinho. , a shot went slightly wide.

Ronaldinho, as Barcelona's left winger, will definitely have many opportunities to face Ronaldinho, who plays Manchester United's right winger, in the game.

Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard stared at the field, he was observing the opponent's tactics: attack as soon as he comes up, is this an active attack?
If this is the case, Rijkaard is welcome. Barcelona is not only good at passing and controlling, but also very strong in counterattack.

However, Rijkaard soon realized that he was too happy too early, because Manchester United quickly returned to the defense after the end of the attack. They put up a tight defensive formation in their second half, waiting Barcelona attack.

Ferguson sat on the coach's bench and stared at the field quietly. Manchester United's tactic in this game was to defend and counterattack. He just waited and waited for Barcelona to attack.

Manchester United or Barcelona, ​​who is more eager for this UEFA Champions League title?Ferguson thought he was from Barcelona.

He has led Manchester United to two trebles, and three Champions League titles, which is already great. It would be a good thing if he could get another one, but if he can't get it, it won't hurt his reputation. .

At the very least, Ferguson himself was relatively calm.

And Barcelona seems to be different. Their coach Rijkaard said in an interview with the Spanish media that he will lead Barcelona to make history.

Not to mention whether Rijkaard said casually to the Spanish domestic media or really thought so, Ferguson believed it.

Furthermore, in the final, is there a more secure tactic than defensive counterattack?
………………

Soon, Ferguson was relieved that Barcelona was not playing conservatively. Seeing Manchester United retract their defense, they immediately pressed up.

However, in the face of Manchester United's tough defense, Barcelona played very hard. Even if they are the best team in world football today, but under Manchester United's high pressure, it is still difficult for them to have more than three feet. Attack the pass.

This time, Edmilson wanted to pass the ball to Ronaldinho, but Fletcher predicted it correctly. He grabbed the pass in advance, successfully intercepted the pass, and then quickly sent the ball to Giggs in front. .

"Counterattack! Manchester United's chance to counterattack!"

The excited shouts of Manchester United fans suddenly sounded in the stands.

Manchester United showed everyone what counterattack speed is. Giggs directly crossed to find Yin Jun. The captain of Manchester United took the ball forward at high speed. Evra made a pass from the bottom, Rooney jumped up from the center and headed the ball. The football was thrown by Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez. Ronaldo's follow-up shot was blocked by the defender on the goal line.

Manchester United's players were all raising their hands. They signaled that the Barcelona players had handballed, but the referee Hauge on duty for this game didn't say anything. He signaled that it was a corner kick.

Giggs took a corner kick. Although Barcelona's defense line is not high, Puyol and Marcos have a good sense of position. This time Puyol grabbed the spot before Ronaldo, and Deco controlled it. The second landing point, and then drove out with a big foot, and survived the dangerous situation in front of the door.
