What ball king, call me ball god

On May 5, at 29 o'clock in the evening.

Both Ajax and Liverpool are in Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano stadium.

There are performances before the Champions League final, so it will be 20 o'clock until the official game starts. The starters of Ajax and Liverpool can warm up on the court before 19:40.

But both teams only chose to warm up on the court before 19:20, and when there were 40 minutes before the game, everyone returned to the locker room.

Obviously, the two teams still have to conduct certain coaching sessions before the game.

At this moment, Ten Hag didn't talk about any technical and tactical things, because he also found that the Ajax players were a little nervous, which he fully understood, because he himself was very nervous. Everyone sitting here has reached the Champions League final for the first time.

All people here are equal in this regard.

Ten Hag put his hands in his trouser pockets because he found that his hands were shaking, which had never happened before, the feeling of nervousness mixed with excitement, mixed with anticipation, that's it. (ps When the author watched the live broadcast of the UEFA Champions League final for the first time in his life, he was so nervous that he was a little trembling. It is true that the feeling of anticipation and excitement can be remembered for a lifetime)

He was pacing, walking up and down.

Ten Hag didn't speak, he waited until all the players were seated, then took his hands out of his trouser pockets.

"Everyone is nervous, and so am I."

At this time, the players all saw Ten Hag's slightly trembling hands.

"This is the first Champions League final for all of us, from the players to the coaching staff. The tension is for sure. Liverpool and their players have entered the Champions League final for the second time in a row. Many of their players have experience in the Champions League final. of--"

"It's just a failed experience!"

Ten Hag spoke ill of Liverpool in the locker room, but obviously, this level of bad talk can effectively relieve the tension of the Ajax players, because everyone laughed.

"So their experience was a bad experience, it was a bondage for them! And we are traveling light, we don't actually have any baggage and burdens. We are not favored all the way, we won Real Madrid , The media said that Real Madrid's strength has declined, that Real Madrid's coach has a problem with the formation, and that we are upset. Okay! Next we won Juventus, they said we beat the old Juventus, and the declining Juventus The Serie A team is not a big favorite, but they are still not optimistic about us! We met Barcelona in the semi-finals. Before the game, few people were optimistic about us. They thought we could not win. Even when we won the first leg away from Barcelona, ​​we still There are a lot of media commentators who are not optimistic about us because they believe that Barcelona has Messi and can reverse. But the end result! It is we who have defeated the enemy and we have advanced. We have gone all the way and won these teams, what are the names Great teams, Real Madrid, Juventus, Barcelona, ​​they are all first-class giants. We have all made it through, and in the end, Liverpool, we won, is there anything surprising?"

"It's our last game of the season. It's also the last game of many players for Ajax, so don't leave yourself with regrets!"

After Ten Hag finished speaking, he stopped talking.

This time is the time left for the players.

At this time, the sound of the pre-match performance has already sounded on the court.

In this year's Champions League final, the guest performer before the match was the Magnum Band.

They sang four songs in a row, believer, thunder, Radioactive, and finally On Top of the World.

At the beginning of the fourth song, UEFA staff reminded the two teams that they could go to the player channel.

So the players of both teams prepared to stand neatly in the player channel.

At this time, the two teams will basically not greet each other, and there are indeed not many players who know each other between the two teams, and they have never played against each other before, so naturally there will be no so-called pleasantries.

Both teams looked straight ahead.

And just at the exit of the player tunnel, there is the Champions League trophy.

Due to various reasons, almost no players will touch the championship trophy before the game.

After all, Kaka touched the Champions League trophy back then, and in the end AC Milan lost the Champions League. At that time, some irrational AC Milan fans crazily insulted Kaka, calling him a poop.

After that, various media and commentators will talk about this topic every year.

Naturally, Lin Kedi wouldn't touch it. Although he wasn't superstitious, there was no need to touch it.

The two parties have already entered the stadium and started to line up to shake hands. At this time, the staff is urgently cleaning up the stage for the performance just now.

Lin Kedi felt helpless when he saw that some turf was even softened. How many fans really look forward to the pre-match performance. Who doesn't want to see the game start earlier?
Lin Kedi shook his head, shaking off the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Then the two sides shook hands before the game.

The captain took the side, and Ajax kicked off first in the first half.

Lin Kedi walked towards the middle circle.

Stand still, the ball was also taken by the referee.

Lin Kedi took a deep breath, trying to relax himself as much as possible.

"After a while, I passed to Schone first, and then I ran to the left, met Arnold, and hit a surprise. Yes, that's it, yes!"

Link put his hands on his hips, looked forward, and muttered to himself.

It is Chinese, Chinese.

Lin Kedi didn't do this before, but now Lin Kedi is really a little nervous, talking in his mouth is also a way for Lin Kedi to relax himself.

At this point, the referee is looking at his watch.

The UEFA Champions League final must start on time, and naturally there must be no mistakes in a single minute.

At this moment, Lin Kedi only felt that time passed so slowly.

"Beep—" The referee Skomina blew his whistle, and the game began.

Lin Kedi was like enlightened, and immediately turned around and kicked the ball to Shenei behind him.

"The final of the UEFA Champions League in the 2018-2019 season has officially started. Next, let me introduce the starting lineups of the two sides."

"Liverpool's starting formation today is 433, the goalkeeper is Alisson, and the defense line from left to right is Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip and Alexander-Arnold. The three midfielders are Wijnaldum on the left, Henderson On the right, Fabinho plays as a lone midfielder. The three forwards are Mane on the left, Salah on the right and Firmino in the centre.
