Chapter 180

Inter Milan and Real Madrid arrived in Manchester one after another, and the media squatting at the airport became busy. They took turns taking photos to document the next day's news.

The entourage of the two clubs is very large. In addition to the normal squad of 18 players, Recoba, Materazzi and other players ineligible to play due to injury also traveled together to the UK.

Everyone at Inter Milan, the team that just won the championship trophy, is in a very good mood. They smiled and waved to reporters and fans. Vuong Phong's appearance made fans scream, and some bold female fans shouted ambiguous words at him. .

The same evening, Inter Milan went to Old Trafford to get used to practicing on the field. Bergomi, the famous Inter Milan and the first team in his life, visited their training site and said in an interview that although Real Madrid is very strong, now is the era of Inter Milan!

"We won three championships. We have a young and strong leader. Even though Real Madrid is filled with superstars, it's time to sink this galactic battleship!"

Although Zanetti is still the captain of Inter Milan, Bergomi clearly believes that Wang Feng is the real leader of the team.

After practice, head coach Cooper participated in a regular press conference. As for leader Bergomi, he did not have a positive reaction but emphasized that the opponent's strength is very high and that Inter Milan will definitely do their best.

"For a team full of superstars like Real Madrid, we cannot let them play without any problems. We will focus on the midfield arrangements. As for the arrangement, Cooper did not say it clearly, and the reporters present also understood that it was definitely inappropriate for him to say it now.

Regarding the team's shortcomings, Cooper attributed it to the experience of the Champions League final. After all, Inter Milan has not been able to reach the finals for many years, and there are very few experienced players in the team.

"The pressure of competition will affect the performance of the players. It's inevitable but I think our players can adapt well, especially Wang Feng. He was born with a big heart. I have complete confidence in him."

.....

Real Madrid then also organized adaptive training on the field. Coach Bosque said: "Real Madrid is a regular visitor to the Champions League and is the club that has won the most championships. We won five championships in a row.

"Since the restructuring of the Champions League, no club has been able to win consecutive championships, and we will win this honor to reflect the glorious history!"

For Inter Milan's Vuong Phong, Bosque expressed the highest interest and will organize the tightest defense to limit him, "Vuong Phong will be defeated against the best defense in the world."

.....

"Everyone, good evening everyone. Welcome to the 2002-2003 UEFA Champions League final. This is Old Trafford in England."

"The two teams tonight are Real Madrid from La Liga and Inter Milan from Serie A."

"Real Madrid participated in the Champions League final for the 12th time and won 9 championships. Inter Milan participated in the Champions League final for the 4th time and won 2 championships. It should be noted that this was the last time Inter Milan participated in the Champions League final. Started in 1972."

"From a data perspective, Real Madrid beat Inter Milan. They were also Champions League champions last year so they have an absolute advantage in terms of playing experience."

"But Inter Milan, the team returning to the Champions League final after 31 years, is not a good player. Wang Feng, the team's best striker, scored 18 goals in the Champions League, far ahead of other players. in the finals."

"Did the star-studded and experienced Real Madrid win the championship or did champion Vuong Phong help Inter Milan win the cup? Let's wait and see."

.....

After a short song and dance performance, the two teams followed in the footsteps of English head coach Orlando Walvendi and entered Old Trafford. Real Madrid players wear the iconic white jersey, while Inter Milan wear their home blue jersey. black shirt.

Real Madrid's starting lineup is four four two, goalkeeper Iker Casillas. Defenders Salgado, Charles, Iron and Elguera.

Midfielders Zidane, Makelele, Figo, Guti.

The attackers were Raul and Ronaldo.

Inter Milan's starting lineup also has 442 players, including goalkeeper Toldo.

Protect Cordova, Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Pasquale. Midfielders Di Biagio, Zanetti, Dalma, Ribéry.

The attackers were Wang Feng and Vieri.

.....

Real Madrid guessed the right to serve first. Captain Hierro greeted his teammates upon returning, called everyone to gather and said: "I have the right to serve the ball in the first half. I was lucky. Once the match started, we settled into a rhythm. , attack and defend according to the coach's arrangements, the opponent is just a new team that entered the Champions League final, if we surpass them then we must have the final say, understand?"

Everyone on the Galaxy Battleship nodded simultaneously.

The two teams arrange their formation. Raul and Zidane stood in the center circle, preparing to serve the ball. Wang Feng is very worried about Inter Milan's defense. The absence of Materazzi, Koko and others due to injury, along with poor coordination between Cannavaro and Cordoba, seriously affected the stability of the defense.

"It seems that after the opening match, we need to create more of a threat up front, put pressure on the Real Madrid defense and prevent them from attacking at full strength!" Vuong Phong thought quietly. UU reads www.uukanshu.com

When looking at Real Madrid's half, Ronaldo smiled and nodded at him, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. He took the match with Inter Milan very seriously.

..... Under the whistle of referee Wal Wendi, the curtain on the final was finally opened.

Raul quickly passed the ball to Zidane and then retreated back to his own half. Zidane also returned the ball to the backcourt to organize himself. Real Madrid did not attack from the beginning.

On Inter Milan's side, Vieri and Wang Feng quickly squeezed in front to block Real Madrid's pass, while Di Biagio and Dalma in midfield did not go too far but just crossed the midfield line and waited. Both sides appeared very cautious. Carlos passes the ball to midfielder Guti. Dalma quickly moved forward to stop him. Guti decided to return it to defender Salgado. The latter looked forward and suddenly kicked. A selection card was sent directly to Raul in the front yard.

After the Spaniard blocked the ball to his chest, he turned around and dribbled along the sidewalk. Even though he was closely followed by Pasquale, thanks to his excellent technique, he still found an open cross path.

Ronaldo reacted in the penalty area, received the ball and faked a move to eliminate Cannavaro and then shot straight into the goal. Goalkeeper Toldo was very focused and blocked the ball with one hand. Zambrotta followed and used his big foot to open the chair.

Real Madrid takes the first shot of the match! The threatening attack almost rewrote the score, Inter Milan players on the field and head coach Cooper on the sidelines were all in a cold sweat.

Toldo loudly reminded the defenders to focus and pay attention to Ronaldo and Raul's foot skills, which were too dangerous for the defense.
