347 The game begins

"Hello everyone, this is the scene of the Champions League final between Parma and Manchester United. We can see that the game has not started yet, but the stadium is already full. Although the game is played in far away Russia,

But Manchester United fans

We, there are still many people who come to the scene to cheer for their team. I just heard that the tickets for this game have been sold out early. It is said that the prices of the tickets have been raised to sky-high prices. I hope

The fans who came to Russia to watch the game all bought tickets."

As a highly valued game like the Champions League final, the game has not yet started, and the broadcast cameras of various TV stations have already begun to prepare. The camera swept over and saw Manchester United fans occupying a huge area in the stands. They followed

The team traveled all the way to Russia to cheer for their team.

"As you can see, there are obviously fewer fans from Parma than from Manchester United... But this is also related to UEFA's ticket allocation. Parma has been allocated fewer tickets, so they have fewer people. But we

It can also be seen that many of the neutral fans at the scene support Parma. This

After all, this is Russia, and Arshavin, who is the core player of Parma, is the captain of the Russian national team. Although he was born in St. Petersburg, he was still welcomed by the fans during the game because of his status in the national team. Overall

The atmosphere of the stadium is more like Parma."

While he was talking, the camera had turned to the player tunnel, and players from both sides were already standing in the player tunnel.

"The players on both sides are ready to play. Let's take a look at the lineups of these two teams. Parma's formation is still 4312, with goalkeeper Frei, and the back line is Grosso, Agger, and Xiao

Cannavaro and Zabaleta. Their three defensive midfielders are De Jong, Yaya Toure and Motta, while their frontcourt is Arshavin, and the forwards are Cavani and Milito - this is what they

The strongest lineup.”

"Manchester United's formation is 442. They arrange goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, and the back line is Evra, Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, and Brown. In the midfield, they use Ronaldo and Skol.

Si, Carrick and Hargreaves, and Rooney and Tevez on the forward line. But we all know that although Manchester United submitted

It is a 442 formation, but when they play, more often, it is more like 433. And in this game, we can see that Giggs was not included in the roster. In the game with Chelsea, Giggs scored

If you receive a yellow card, you will be suspended from the final and will not be able to play. This is a huge loss for Manchester United."

The camera showed the players in the tunnel, and the players from both teams were already standing there. The players from both sides looked calm, without any major emotional fluctuations. The final was about to begin, and now the players were ready to play.

It was an important game, and it could be seen that their emotions were very calm.

"In terms of the players played by Parma, some of them are different from those against Liverpool, and the difference is even greater than that against Chelsea. They replaced Balzaretti on the left and replaced Tula at the center back position.

Well, replaced by Cannavaro. This game

In this season, Parma has two very good players at the left back position. Grosso is better at defending, while Balzaretti is not strong enough in defense, but he cooperates better with the players. When playing against Chelsea

, Parma still uses Balzaretti, but

Now Grosso has started to be used. This has a lot to do with Manchester United's powerful attack power on the right wing. Cristiano Ronaldo is a great threat on this wing. Parma has changed to a better defender, probably to defend Cristiano Ronaldo.

.And Thuram was still the main player in the last game, but

He was replaced in this game. This should be due to the stronger overall impact of Manchester United, while Cannavaro has stronger sweeping ability and better defensive strength. It can be seen that these two changes,

They all did it against Manchester United, and they still have a lot of preparations."

As a commentator, Lineker was able to see what Parma was thinking when he analyzed Parma's defense. But when he saw the frontcourt, his tone was a little less optimistic, "We can see that Parma

The frontcourt players almost sent out their best players. In the last round of the game, because they were against players like Lyon, their players all got

After a full rest, no one was absent. Their frontcourt players are all the main players, and on the bench, they also have Keita, Rossi, Crespo and other players, plus Balzare

Thierry and Thuram, their strength is still outstanding. Compared with them, Manchester United has the problem of Giggs' absence, which will also be a big problem for Manchester United."

"However, even so, the strength of Manchester United's players should be better than that of Parma. Ronaldo's performance this season is no worse than Kaka last season. As long as he is on the court, Manchester United has a great advantage.

And not to mention, the other players at Manchester United are also very strong. Even after the death duel with Chelsea,

But their main players did not suffer too many losses. The three players in the midfield and frontcourt still did not lose. Cristiano Ronaldo, Tevez, and Rooney are still on the court, and Hargreaves in the midfield can guarantee their defense.

, in addition there is an outstanding Scholes, in terms of overall strength, they are still stronger than Parma."

After all, Lineker is still an Englishman. He is also very confident in the strength of the English team. Moreover, there is nothing wrong with what he said. Ronaldo has really performed very well this season.

Last season, Cristiano Ronaldo was already the best player in the Premier League. Last season was the only season in the Premier League where his goals and assists both reached the top three in the league. After this season, his playing style has become

A lot has changed. He no longer takes care of everything and does everything, but starts doing more and more

Use shooting to show his value. After this season, he has scored more than 40 goals in total, which is quite surprising. Especially since his position at Manchester United is still a full midfielder and a midfielder.

He scored more than 40 goals, which gave Lineker a lot of confidence in him.

Although in the eyes of many people, Cristiano Ronaldo's performance against Chelsea this season was slightly worse. Compared with Kaká, who was almost violent against strong teams last season, there is still a gap, but Lineker said that his strength

Very strong and always without any mistakes.

"Parma's weaknesses should still be two. One is that their goalkeeper Frey is not strong in attacking ability and is a goal-line goalkeeper. This is a characteristic that can be exploited. The other weakness is their left back.

——With Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United can have a great advantage when encountering almost all players. Under the attack of such players, it is difficult for Grosso to gain the upper hand."

Parma actually doesn't have any particularly big weaknesses as a whole, at least Lineker can't see any problems with them. However, the two problems he mentioned are indeed Parma's troubles: their goalkeeper is indeed slightly inferior, and

Facing Ronaldo, there are indeed only a few people who dare to say that they can completely gain the upper hand.

"Another area that needs attention is the coaches of both sides. We are all familiar with Sir Alex Ferguson. This season is the second time he has reached the Champions League final. He is 69 years old this year. It can be said that he has

He is the oldest coach in the Champions League this season. On the other side of him,

It’s Li Bin. He is just 34 years old this year. He is the youngest coach in the Champions League. He is two years younger than Deschamps, who led the team to the final at the age of 36. It is very surprising to lead the team to the Champions League final at this age.

I have to say that the head coaches of both sides, one is old and strong, the other is young and promising, they are both very good coaches."

On the court, the players had already filed into the stadium. At the entrance of the players' tunnel, Li Bin and Ferguson shook hands and walked away to both sides. Li Bin walked to the coach's bench and did not sit down, but stood there and watched.

On the court. On the other side, Ferguson sat on the coaching bench, leaned on the backrest, chewed gum in his mouth, and stopped watching the game.

"It can be seen that there is a big difference between the coaches on both sides. Li Bin is obviously a young man and can't sit still anymore, while coach Ferguson is very relaxed, but I don't know how long his relaxed mood can last?

And who among them will be the biggest winner today? Let us see."

After successfully arousing the audience's interest, Lineker stopped talking and handed the camera to the players on the court.

The players from both sides have already taken the field, and the captains of both sides are already tossing coins to decide who will kick off first. Manchester United's captain is Ferdinand, while Parma's captain is Cannavaro Jr.

Ferdinand won the coin guess, but this was not a big deal to Cannavaro. For him, what needs to be noted more now is that Parma has arrived.

This is the Champions League final, the highest level competition in Europe. And now, we are finally here.

Parma's journey has not been easy. Cannavaro has seen how the team has come step by step over the years, and he also knows how he has come step by step. Four years ago, he connected with the ball.

He is not the main force of the team. Until now, standing in the Champions League finals, everything feels like a dream.

Sometimes, he feels that life is really an interesting process: four years ago, he was Bonera's substitute. At that time, Bonera and Ferrari were prosperous, and he could only sit on the bench.

, nothing. What now? Bonera has been scolded to death in Milan, and Ferrari's level has continued to decline, but he is standing on this court.

Although speaking of it, he is still only a rotation of Parma, not the absolute main force like Agger, but this also makes him very satisfied. He knows how much hard work he has spent to get here, and he saw Bonera

, Ferrari and the others ended up, of course he was very satisfied with the life he had now.

I am not a genius, so this opportunity is particularly rare for me. If Manchester United falls, they will still be Manchester United next year, but if Parma loses, I will be nothing next year.

This is the greatest glory in my life. No matter what, I will win this game.

Presumably, my teammates think so too, right? This is our greatest moment!
