Chapter 915 Great stage!
The Soccer City Stadium, which can accommodate 90.00 people, is completely full. More than [-]% of the tickets for the final have gone to the fans of both sides. Some South African fans who got the tickets chose to sell the tickets to England or Spain. A [-] Tickets in euros have been hyped up to nearly [-] euros, so there is still a price but no market.

At this time, the stands of the stadium were already full of voices, countless flags were fluttering in the wind, and some fans who couldn't wait even set off small fireworks on the stands.

When the England team appeared on the pitch and began to warm up, the England fans in the stands began to sing in unison.Just like what they did in the Premier League, they used their singing to convey such a message to the team --- we are with you.

England fans can be said to be the most capable of creating home atmosphere on the planet. Their singing voices, self-written and self-directed slogan songs, are the best weapons to create momentum.

The loud singing of England fans resounded through the stadium, which gave England players the feeling of being at home.

Seeing the rise of English fans singing, Spanish fans are naturally not to be outdone, and Spanish fans also began to sing, but Spanish fans were quickly defeated by the singing of English fans. At most, they could sing "We Is the Champion", as well as some Spanish songs, how can this compare to the HIGH that England fans wrote and sang.

***********
When the players from both sides began to warm up on the court, the media from various countries also began to get busy.

"This is the final venue of the [-] World Cup in South Africa, the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg. The final of this World Cup will be held soon. The two sides are England and Spain. In the previous World Cup, European teams have never played in other continents. We have won the championship before, and now England and Spain will meet in the World Cup final, which has ensured that a European team will win the championship away from the European continent for the first time!" Chaoting TV broadcast live five hours in advance of today's World Cup final, starting from the England team from the hotel , the live broadcast will begin.Liu Jianhong and Duan Xuan are the commentators for tonight's World Cup final, and it is Liu Jianhong who is speaking now.

"England will wear a white home jersey in this game. It is said that the FA intends to allow players to wear the retro jerseys of the [-] World Cup in England when England won the championship. However, this was rejected by Mourinho. No, he obviously doesn't like the FA's good intentions, he seems to want to mark his team to make their history, instead of nostalgic history's pathetic glory. However, our Spanish lads will not give them a chance." The Spanish narrator explained that it can be seen that there is no lack of sarcasm in this statement.However, he seems to have forgotten that compared with England, which has only won the World Cup once in history, Spain's championship glory book is just a blank sheet of paper.

"It's David (Beckham)'s first World Cup final, it's Frank (Lampard's) first World Cup final, it's Steve (Gerrard)'s first World Cup final. This is also Wayne (Rooney)'s first World Cup final, and this is Li Rui's first World Cup final... After [-] years, England has another chance to compete for the World Cup championship. We want to thank our boys! They gave us hope!" Lineker said a bit sentimentally, he used to be the England international and the top scorer of the national team, but until he retired, he couldn't feel the feeling of the World Cup final, let alone win the championship.At this moment, seeing that England is about to fight in the World Cup finals, I also feel a lot of emotion.

***********
"Now, the temperature in Johannesburg is [-] degrees, which should still be suitable for the game. However, as the night progresses, the temperature will drop. It's just that the game has already started at that time, and the players should have almost warmed up. It won't affect them too much."

"The top star of the England team, Li Rui, just said when he arrived at the stadium that the goal of the England team is only the championship, and only the championship. He showed a strong confidence in winning. And the Spanish team captain Puyol also expressed the whole team's hope for the championship. eager."

"In this World Cup, the Spanish team had only lost one game before. It was the first game of the group stage. They lost to the Swiss team [-]:[-]. Since then, the Spanish team has been advancing all the way; They have not yet experienced a defeat in the World Cup. Their most dangerous match was in the first round of the knockout round against the German team. The England team fell behind [-]:[-]. A super reversal was staged."

Commentators from various countries began to explain, although their own teams were eliminated.However, TV stations in various countries still attach great importance to the final report.Some countries even started live coverage five or six hours in advance.

***********
"Let's take a look at Spain's starting lineup, from the list we got. Spain sent their strongest lineup. The goalkeeper is Iker Casillas who plays for Real Madrid. The right back is Ramos, also from Real Madrid. S, the left back is Capdevila from Villarreal; the two central defenders are the combination of Barcelona-Pique and Puyol. In the midfield, Del Bosque chose to trust Barcelona players, except for those from Real Apart from Xavi Alonso in Madrid, the other four players are all Barcelona players, they are Busquets, Xavi, Pedro and Iniesta, and Villa from Valencia is on the front line; From this starting list, we can see that Del Bosque chooses to trust players from Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the two biggest clubs in La Liga, among which there are three Real Madrid players and six Barcelona players." Liu Jianhong said.

"Hehe, Barcelona should be number [-]. Villa on the front line has officially joined Barcelona." Duan Xuan corrected.

At this time, on the court, the English players had already finished warming up and returned to the locker room.

***********
The locker room was quiet. The players felt the tremendous pressure of the final. For a moment, they could only hear the players' heavy breathing.

Mourinho frowned slightly, the players were obviously too nervous, which is not good.

However, he has no good solution. In fact, in the World Cup finals, it is impossible to say that he is not nervous. It depends on whether the players can adjust their emotions as soon as possible after the game starts and concentrate on the game.

"The training in the past few days has been very targeted, and everyone understands our opponent Spain. This is a team that has always been difficult to deal with, but this does not mean that they are impeccable." Speaking of this, Murry Neo laughed, "In the eyes of outsiders, in fact, we are also a difficult team to deal with, so for Spain, we don't need to feel inferior to them. You know, we are the European champions. Two years ago, we But we eliminated them in the semi-finals."

Hearing what Mourinho said, the atmosphere in the locker room became better. Although sometimes the so-called statistics or battle history are rubbish, but I have to admit that at this moment, the players are more relaxed. I think, yes, we beat them once, in the semi-finals of the European Cup, we could beat them two years ago, and we can do the same today.

This is exactly the effect Mourinho wants. He doesn't want the players to be arrogant, but the necessary confidence must be established.

***********
Inside the Spanish team's locker room.

The players sat there, listening to Bosque making the final tactical arrangements. Although these tactical arrangements had been explained more than a dozen times, the players still listened carefully.

Bosque looked at these players and nodded with satisfaction.Their semi-final ended one day earlier than the semi-final between England and the Netherlands. Therefore, in terms of physical strength, the Spanish team is in a better situation than the England team. In addition, La Liga teams are better than Premier League teams here. The more rest you get during the year, the better off you will be.

However, what makes Bosque most satisfied is that the Spanish team is very united now. For example, Real Madrid and Barcelona are sworn enemies in the league, and players from both sides often have conflicts, as well as the differences between the Catalan region and the Madrid region. , However, now this Spanish team is very united, and those unhappiness and disputes have not been brought to the national team by the players.

A united Spain can win it all!
This is the confidence of the Spanish coach Bosque.

***********
The players have not yet entered the field, and the camera on the scene is now aimed at the VIP seats.

The VIP seats were really star-studded, the host South African President Jacob Zuma, England's Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip, Spain's King Carlos I and Queen Sofia, British Prime Minister Cameron, and Spanish Prime Minister Zapat Luo, these heads of state and dignitaries gathered together.

As for other performing arts stars, the stars are even brighter, F[-] British driver Hamilton, F[-] Spanish driver Alonso, tennis stars Nadal, Federer, Italian car king Rossi; Hollywood's Spielberg, basketball superstar Kobe Bryant.Bryant and Gasol all appeared in the VIP seats.

But at this time, the real protagonists of today's final are not these celebrities and politicians, but the [-] players.

Now, players from both sides are standing side by side in the tunnel, and in front of them are three referees, waiting to enter the field.

Many of the players on both sides knew each other. They were teammates, or even friends. However, at this moment, no one greeted them proactively. They even seldom spoke. All of them had serious expressions.

The noise outside the stadium is close at hand, as long as they step out, a real big stage, the greatest arena, is waiting for them!
