It was drizzling in the sky.
Ferguson subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky.
Then he felt a headache because the team did not prepare special cleats for rainy days.
If the drizzle turned into light rain or moderate rain, then Big trouble But soon, he felt relieved.
The same prelude to preparation, so Chelsea should not be prepared either.
But when Ferguson turned to look at Chelsea's coaching bench, he became quite speechless.
What appeared in his eyes was a row of long spikes, that is, cleats, being prepared, and they were arranged in an orderly manner.
This was definitely a favorable development for Chelsea.
Of course, Ferguson would never allow the team to lose at the starting line, so he hooked his fingers at his assistant Queiroz and ordered: "Ask Kyle to go to the physical store outside the stadium to buy some spikes according to the player's shoe size. , the speed must be fast” Queiroz turned to look at the prepared Chelsea coaching area, nodded, and then turned around and ordered Kyle Dost, the logistics team leader who came with the team, to temporarily purchase long-spiked sneakers off the court.
Although the rain was very light, the players on the field began to be cautious, for fear of accidentally slipping to the ground.
The game went on for another two minutes with players on both sides being cautious, and the rain became a little drizzle.
This is definitely not good news for Manchester United.
Immediately, the on-site director took advantage of a dead ball opportunity and showed the camera to the Chelsea bench, which immediately caused several discussions in the studio.
"Haha, Chelsea are so well prepared.
When we thought that both sides in the final would frequently fall to the ground in the rain, the scene shown on camera tells us that such a situation will only happen to Manchester United."
Looking at this shot, BBC commentator Lineker laughed.
"I have to say that Chelsea thought carefully before the game.
I remember that the weather in Moscow today will be cloudless and there will be no rain at all.
Therefore, both teams are destined to ignore this detail, but there is no What comes to mind is that Chelsea actually prepared special spikes for rainy days.
Perhaps the success or failure of this Champions League championship will be determined by details."
Huang Jianxiang also praised Chelsea's good logistics work.
Only the local commentator in Manchester curled his lips and said: "This is a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.
Even if the weather forecast is clear, long-spiked spikes for rainy days will be prepared.
Damn it."
Chelsea boss Abramovich, who was sitting in the VIP seat at the scene, smiled and kissed his girlfriend Dasha Zhukova.
It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the team's logistical work.
Just now he was worried about what the team would do.
If there was a slip on a rainy day, and now it's gone, the game will be different again.
Perhaps, my beloved Chelsea will really win the Champions League this season Isn’t this crazy investment in the past few years just for this shining silver Champions League trophy?
Thinking of this, Abramovich leaned forward and looked at the Saint-Bride Cup, the Champions League championship trophy placed on the podium.
The club staff had prepared the long spikes.
Ai Luo nodded with satisfaction and was still congratulating himself on his excellent memory.
Of course, the one who should be more grateful was the great god Lin Hai.
If he had not written that novel, then he would have been I will definitely not remember this detail.
However, this is not the time to change to long spike shoes.
First of all, the turf is not slippery enough to use long spike shoes.
Secondly, the referee will not allow them to change their sneakers at this time, unless they go to the sidelines one by one to change.
However, this will very likely lead to a partial situation of playing less and playing more.
The situation is extremely detrimental to the team and they can only be replaced collectively after the regular time is over.
Why wait until the end of regular time to change sneakers?
Why not end the battle within ninety minutes?
Ai Luo slapped his forehead fiercely, and he really entered into a misunderstanding.
Manchester United coach Ferguson also had the same idea.
He did not expect the logistics director to buy back the spike.
It would be best if the battle could be resolved within ninety minutes.

So he took advantage of the left back Evra when he was close to the sideline.
He explained a few words and asked the players to strengthen their offense in the final period and score as many goals as possible, otherwise it would be dangerous if the rain becomes heavier.
Although the rain at this time was still at the pre-light rain stage, Chelsea players had already been disturbed.
In the 85th minute, Aiello pretended to take a long shot from the front of the penalty area.
All the Manchester United defensive players focused on him.
As a result, the fake shot turned out to be a real pass.
His right ankle changed and the ball was passed to almost no one.
Lampard, who was being man-marked, subconsciously raised his right foot and shot from 10 yards away from the goal.
But at this time, an accident occurred.
The left foot did not step firmly at the critical moment and slid forward.
The right foot could only continue to kick instinctively.
The effect was astonishing.
The football was not kicked, but it hit the ball.
On the foot of Brown, who was on defense, the referee Michel called for a foul.
Then the ball changed hands.
Veteran Scholes controlled the ball in the backcourt.
Seeing no one coming to press him, he could calmly look up and observe the position and movement of his teammates.
However, he did not find a suitable passing point, so he again He passed the ball back to centre-back Rio Ferdinand and then ran forward a few meters, directing the movement of his teammates in the midfield.
After the explanation, he returned to the center line and signaled Vidic to pass the football.
The latter gave the ball to Scholes without hesitation.
Hargreaves, Tevez, and Rooney in the frontcourt all retreated a little, seemingly preparing to receive Scholes' pass.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo on the left was not seen slanting Chelsea's defensive right rib along the wing, which is the gap between Essien and Terry.
"Pay attention to the defense on the right rib."
The back line and the defensive players in front of the back line are all focused on the ball carrier and the Manchester United players in the area at the front of the penalty area, but goalkeeper Cech can use his peripheral vision to see the high-speed diagonal pass.
Cristiano Ronaldo, hence the loud reminder.
At the same time, Scholes had already brought the ball to Chelsea's half-circle arc, and then he suddenly made a long pass.
Essien was startled by a flash of red lightning in front of him, and then when he saw the football flying in mid-air, he subconsciously stopped and raised his right arm high to remind the linesman that the Manchester United player who was behind him was offside.
But he was surprised to find that the linesman did not hold up the side flag, but continued to run with Cristiano Ronaldo moving forward.
Even if he thinks with his toes, he knows that this is not offside.
Terry is very experienced in the game.
Even though he felt that Cristiano Ronaldo was suspected of being offside, he still kept retreating and prepared to clear the ball.
It's just that it's difficult to judge where the football will land, so I can only turn around and focus on Cristiano Ronaldo, who is about to take the ball, and deal with it when the time comes.
Cristiano Ronaldo's sudden diagonal pass into the right flank of Chelsea's defense was not a sudden thought, but one of the backup tactics before the game.
The previous straight up and down was to confuse Chelsea's defensive players, so that they formed a formation in a short period of time.
Fixed thinking, when the time comes to suddenly change the offensive method, it will be an opportunity for the team However, Ferguson's previous gestures from the sidelines indicated that he knew that the opportunity waiting for him could be taken advantage of.
Sure enough, when he accelerated from the wing along the right rib of Chelsea's defense, Scholes' long pass came over, and the quality of the pass was better than Cristiano Ronaldo expected.
Fast and flat It is very suitable for players who come in behind to handle the ball, and at the same time it also increases the difficulty of clearance for defenders.
Because the forward path of football is consistent with Cristiano Ronaldo, that is, it is misaligned with the defensive players.
If you want to make a clearance, you can only hope that Cristiano Ronaldo who has the ball will make a stoppage error, thereby competing for the second landing point.
But here comes the question, will Cristiano Ronaldo make a mistake?
He has scored two goals in this game and is in hot form 15 yards away from the goal, he directly used his chest to stop the ball on his forward path, and then raised his right foot, preparing to shoot.
"Cristiano Ronaldo" shouted the local commentator in Manchester excitedly.
Terry, who had been waiting for an opportunity behind Cristiano Ronaldo's diagonal right, knew that he could not wait any longer, otherwise the goal would be in danger.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who had already prepared his bow and arrow, noticed that Terry behind him was about to steal the ball, so he quickly put his right foot down again, and lightly tipped the falling football to the left with his toes.
When Terry was about to kick the football, he discovered that Cristiano Ronaldo did not wait for the ball to fall to complete the shot.

Instead, he took advantage of the quick pace of his feet to pick the ball to the left side of his body.
Trouble now Terry had no time to stop his foot and kicked his left foot directly on the right calf of Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just picked the football.
As a result, the latter screamed subconsciously and fell to the turf holding his right calf. beep Immediately, referee Michelle's whistle sounded.
Terry quickly turned around and raised his hand towards the referee to show that he had not committed a foul.
"Mr.
Referee, foul" "foul" "Penalty red card" "Asshole, what are you talking about?
It's obviously a flop."
Ballack was closest to Rooney.
He didn't care whether Terry committed a foul or not and just defended it.
The other Chelsea players saw the referee's movements and eyes and realized what he was about to do, so they speeded up and blocked the referee in an attempt to change his next move.
Michel pushed aside the Chelsea players in front of him, then walked up to Terry, took out a red card from his trouser pocket and showed it.
Then he pointed to twelve yards.
This is a penalty plus a red card:
