There is still an hour before the game, and fans with tickets have basically entered the stadium and participated in the carnival of their respective camps.
The Champions League final is a time for fans to celebrate At this time, the players from both sides had also entered the field to warm up.
Aiello and Modric showed extremely good competitive status.
Head coach Mourinho saw this and stood on the sidelines and nodded frequently, obviously expressing his confidence in his attack.
Modric, who is more capable, is extremely satisfied with being in the starting lineup.
He has even thought of the team scoring the first goal in the game.
The forty-five minutes of warm-up time passed in a blink of an eye, and the players from both sides entered the locker room.
The next thing that appeared in the stadium was a theatrical performance full of ancient Roman characteristics, but these had nothing to do with the players of both sides in the final.
They were just the organizers of the Champions League final expressing their enthusiasm.
When Manchester United assistant coach Phelan closed the door to the visiting team's locker room, the noise in the stadium suddenly stopped.
Everyone's attention is on Ferguson, and they all know that the old coach Ferguson must have something important to say before the final.
In the past two seasons, Manchester United has not only lost to Chelsea, but also lost countless championships.
The most important of them are naturally the Premier League championship in two seasons and the Champions League championship last season.
Therefore, the upcoming Champions League final has become unbearable.
Make a mistake, otherwise Manchester United will become the laughing stock of the entire Europe Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Fletcher, Vidic, every player is extremely serious.
Ferguson wasted no time and said with a straight face: "We have been working hard for the Champions League final for more than half a month.
I believe that everyone here does not want to leave empty-handed.
Nemanja and Darren have worked hard during this period."
Everyone can see that why they are working so hard is to defeat Chelsea and win the Champions League trophy tonight.
In the past two seasons, we have learned enough lessons, so the upcoming Champions League final is absolutely important to us.
There is no room for error, we have to beat Chelsea and get back our own honor.”
Ferguson's entire face turned red due to excessive excitement, but he did not feel uncomfortable, but felt very excited.
Every player in front of him was full of fighting spirit, just like the Colosseum in ancient Rome.
Like a fighter who begins a life and death struggle At the same time, the Chelsea players in the home team's locker room are generally in a good mood.
They have maintained a complete victory against Manchester United in major games in the past two seasons, allowing them to go into battle lightly.
Coupled with the king of the finals, Ai Luo, Chelsea has no reason to lose this game. finals.
From a long-term perspective, several players have lost their sense of normalcy.
Obviously, this is not a good sign.
Mourinho's piercing eyes saw that many players were already underestimating the enemy, and he knew it was time to give them a blow in the head.
After all the players had organized their equipment and appearance, Villas-Boas gathered the players in accordance with Mourinho's request.
"Do you think that everyone here has decided that the next ninety minutes are just a formality?
Do you think that Chelsea will be the one standing on the highest podium after ninety minutes?
Do you think that we can win the championship without any effort?
Do you?
" No one expected that Mourinho’s first words would be four in a row, right?
They were all confused for a moment.
Mourinho glanced at the players who had been bluffed by him, and felt extremely happy.
Having recently studied Sun Tzu's Art of War, he already knew how to cure these arrogant soldiers, first giving them a stick and then a carrot.
"In the past few days, I have found that many players have neglected training.
This is not good news for us who are about to participate in the Champions League final.
I will not criticize by name here.
I hope everyone will take the next Champions League final seriously.
We should learn more from Ai.
At the age of 23, he He won two Champions League titles at a young age, but he still maintains his extreme desire for the championship.
This is very rare.

Don’t forget that there is also a great record in front of us.
The first team to defend the Champions League title since the reform of the Champions League.
This is The supreme honor, and then think about the bonus we received for winning the championship.”
As Mourinho's sense of rhythm has strengthened, some players who felt neglected have readjusted their mentality.
As the blind Italian singer Andrea Bocelli sang the song "noearefree", which is very characteristic of ancient Rome, the players from both sides followed the referee into the stadium.
The live broadcast then played the Champions League theme song "Champions of Europe", symbolizing the spiritual heritage of the ancient Roman fighters.
Go to the Champions League final and contribute a wonderful and classic Champions League final to all the fans present.
Players from both sides took sides.
After Champions League ended, the Manchester United players on the right side of the screen walked to the left side of the screen and shook hands with the four referees and Chelsea players who were officiating the game.
At the same time, the live performers exited the stage in a triangle with the entire sideline close to the host position, which was very enjoyable to watch.
However, most fans' attention is not here, but on Aiello and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Careful commentators have long noticed that the two people who usually joke around in warm-ups, player tunnels and handshakes actually There was no communication before the start of this game
"I don't know if you have noticed a detail.
Usually whenever there is a game between Chelsea and Manchester United, Ai and Cristiano Ronaldo will chat and encourage enthusiastically, but this time is unusual, whether it is warm-up, or in the player tunnel, or Or in the player handshake session that just ended, this scene did not appear.
Could it be because the two of them were too concerned about this Champions League final and there was a gap?"
BBC commentator Lineker said doubtfully.
Guest Phil shook his head and said: "It is said that Cristiano Ronaldo helped Ai in the regular press conference before the game.
The possibility of estrangement between the two is not established."
"That's really weird."
Lineker said in surprise.
"There is a small change in Manchester United's frontcourt in this game.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been active on the left wing, was placed in the center by Ferguson in this game, while the original starting forward Rooney was placed on the left wing and on the right wing.
"Korean Park Ji-sung" At the same time, while the broadcaster was showing the formation positions on the big screen, CCTV commentator He Wei, who was in charge of the on-site commentary, said.
After all the preparations were completed, Aiello and Drogba stood in the center circle, Aiello stepped on the football, and the referee Swiss Busaca stood in the center circle and raised his hand to ask whether the goalkeepers of both sides were ready, and then walked towards the Chelsea half who was close to the camera.
The circle is arcing, the whistle is in the mouth.
The 2008-2009 Champions League final is about to begin At this moment, whether it was the London media, the Manchester media, or the Chinese media and the Korean media, they all felt a sense of tension.
It is worth mentioning that this season’s Champions League finals were attended by a very large number of guests, including Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, British Prince William, UEFA President Platini and AFC President Hamann.
Originally Hamann did not come.
The announcement came to the scene, but two days before the game, I learned that South Korean international Park Ji-sung would start in the Champions League final, so I had to change my schedule and come to Rome.
The upcoming Champions League final has a different historical significance for Asia.
To the outside world, it can be claimed that Asia’s Champions League final derby It’s just that the Chinese and Korean media prefer to call it the East Asian Derby.
The referee Busaca lowered his head and checked the time on his wrist.
The on-site director also showed the camera to the Swiss, and the noisy scene magically quieted down at this moment.
Everyone was waiting for his whistle.
Half a second later, the whistle sounded.
The game starts Suddenly, the cheers in the stands suddenly exploded, resounding throughout the Rome Olympic Stadium.
No one noticed that Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney made eye contact at this moment.
Aiello kicked the football at his feet to Drogba next to him, and then ran towards the Manchester United half without looking back.
After getting the ball, Drogba kicked the ball to Modric.
The moment Aiello completed his turn, a red lightning flashed past him at high speed, so he subconsciously turned his head and looked over.
It was Cristiano Ronaldo.
"With a whistle from the Swiss, the game officially begins.
Now announce the starting lineups of both sides."
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray was about to announce the starting lineups of both sides.
He changed his voice and exclaimed: "It's so fast."

At the beginning, Cristiano Ronaldo was more than ten meters away from Modric who was holding the ball.
However, under his acceleration, the distance between the two quickly shortened, and the huge cheers from the Manchester United fans in the stands also overwhelmed the Chelsea fans.
The cheers were suppressed.
Modric's excellent overall view made him realize that a Manchester United player was approaching at high speed without controlling the ball at his feet, and passed back to the right center back Carvalho.
At this time, Rooney suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Carvalho who was holding the ball.
The latter did not dare to neglect and passed the ball to his central defender partner Terry.
Cristiano, who had missed the ball earlier, did not stop and rushed straight towards him.
To Terry.
Terry also did not dare to control the ball himself and passed the football back to goalkeeper Cech with his back to the goal.
Under normal circumstances, Cristiano Ronaldo should have stopped to save energy, but what he didn't expect was that he did the opposite, turned a small corner and continued to rush towards Cech who was receiving the ball.
No one expected Cristiano Ronaldo to be so desperate at the first moment of kick-off.
By the time Cech realized that he should have kicked the ball forward, he had lost the best opportunity, so he simply passed the ball to Terry who was stretched to the left back, but under the pressure of Cristiano Ronaldo , he made a mistake and kicked the ball out of the sideline.
The Manchester United fans in the stands also burst into loud laughter as they laughed at Cech's rare mistake
