The forty minutes of warm-up time before the start of the game passed quickly, and the stands of the Maracanã Stadium were gradually filled with fans.
The players who had finished the warm-up returned to their respective locker rooms, waiting for their respective head coaches’ final arrangements before the game.
Prepare for the next finals As the players left, the Maracanã Stadium seemed much emptier, but the fans were not bored.
They were also rehearsing slogans and singing in advance, waiting for the start of the game.
Maracana is recognized as the largest stadium in the world.
After historical accumulation, the stadium has been renovated again and again.
Taking into account safety and other factors, the stadium's seatless stands have become history, and the seats with seats have also been controlled.
Within one hundred thousand, the specific number is ninety-five thousand.
There are only 90,000 tickets on the market for this Confederations Cup final, of which 5,000 seats are used as a buffer zone to prevent unnecessary fights between fans from both sides in case of emergencies when the game enters a stalemate stage.
According to a set of data released by the Brazilian Football Association after the tickets were sold out, Chinese fans who bought tickets accounted for half of the tickets sold.
This means that there were at least 50,000 Chinese fans watching the final, deducting 20,000 to 30,000 Brazilian fans.
Fans, there were only 20,000 Spanish fans who came to the scene.
Therefore, the Chinese fans' outburst of momentum was to completely suppress the Spanish fans, and some professionals in the press box and commentary box began to joke that a large population base has advantages.
However, this suppression of momentum did not last long, because the organizers prepared some artistic performances for the Confederations Cup final to add excitement to the final.
Of course, the most attractive thing was the following announcement by the on-site DJ about the political bigwigs who came to the Maracanã Stadium to watch the Confederations Cup final.
Among them, Chinese President Xi Jingping and his wife Peng Liyuan burst into cheers when they appeared in the camera.
The reason is very simple, that is, the Chinese fans who came to the Maracanã Stadium had an absolute advantage.
In the visiting team's locker room at the Maracana Stadium, the Spanish players were not as excited as before.
Instead, they were a little worried about the next game.
Almost all the players for this Spanish national team came from La Liga.
So they know several players of the Chinese team very well.
Aiello is the world's number one star.
As club teammates David Silva, Jordi Alba and Azpilicueta know his terror very well.
In addition, Real Madrid and Barcelona stars Casillas, Ramos Iniesta, Xavi, and Pique were all very impressed.
They did not have much confidence in their next games, because Ai Luo has left the Confederations Cup.
As the competition progresses, the state is getting better and better.
Everyone knows that Ai Luo is invincible when he is in good condition.
And the other players of the Chinese team should not be underestimated either.
Gao Lin, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, Wu Xi What a troublesome opponent in the finals.
Bosque has sharp eyes and is well-informed.
After taking a glance at the players, he knows what they are thinking, so he rarely clapped his hands to bring the players back to reality from their thoughts.
After all the players paid their attention, Bosque said slowly: "I know what everyone is thinking, but I want you to know your identity.
You are the European champions and world champions, and the Chinese team is just Asian Champion” As Bosque spoke, the Spanish players slowly recovered.
Yes, we are European champions and world champions, while the Chinese team is only Asian champions How do Asian champions compare with European champions and world champions?
Del Bosque's words were very helpful to the Spanish star.
The players who had previously frowned were relaxed and full of confidence in the next final.
So Bosque struck while the iron was hot and continued to cheer up the players, raising their fighting spirit to a peak state.
At the same time, Guardiola also encouraged the players' confidence in the locker room.
In his opinion, there is no problem with the skills of Chinese players, but some Chinese players are not very confident in playing.
Especially young central defender Shi Ke and central midfielder Huang Bowen, who represented the Chinese team in an international competition for the first time.
Players like Ai Luo, Gao Lin, Hao Junmin and Feng Xiaoting are full of confidence, so Guardiola also said something about the confidence of these old players.
What he wanted to express is that even if the past few Confederations Cup games were relatively easy, But the final is the final, and Spain is a past European and world champion and cannot be underestimated.
In fact, the Chinese players were summoned by captain Aiello before the game to put themselves in a lower profile.
In world football, although the Chinese team has a rapid rise and demonstrated strong strength, after all Since you have no experience in the finals of a world competition, it is very likely that you will be too excited about the game and lead to non-combat attrition.
Later, Guardiola re-instructed the starting players to deepen their tactical impression.

Spain and the current Chinese team are both taking technical routes, and their playing styles are very similar.
It is very likely that they will seize the initiative in the midfield.
Players must make full use of the width of the court and never stick to the ball too much. , otherwise the possession of the ball at your feet will be quickly lost.
Losing possession of the ball will undoubtedly lead to a loss of initiative, and the loss of initiative will cause a chain reaction, making it necessary to expend more physical energy to regain possession of the ball.
At the same time, Guardiola also asked Aiello to return to the midfield more often to assist his teammates in organizing attacks, and asked the two wingers to boldly press forward to provide assists when necessary to relieve the team's offensive pressure.
About ten minutes before the start of the game, two assistant referees knocked on the doors of the locker rooms of both teams in the final, reminding them that they could go to the players' tunnel and wait for admission.
Spain has won the European Cup and the World Cup, but it has not won the Confederations Cup, so many players in the Spanish team are very concerned about this championship.
They hope that many years from now, people will be talking about the great Spanish team that won all the titles.
The Chinese team's idea is much simpler.
Is it because they entered the finals to be the runner-up?
In addition, the Chinese team's on-field strength does not seem to be worse than that of Spain.
In terms of offensive ability, it is stronger than Spain, but it is not as good as the overall team.
After all, this Spanish starting lineup is not as good as Spain in international competitions.
They have appeared in dozens of games and have a very good understanding with each other.
What's more important is that he has a lot of experience in the Spanish finals.
At the same time, the on-site director also cut the camera into the player tunnel, so fans watching the live TV could see the starting players of both sides in the final.
And they also got a message, the finals are coming:
