Chapter 73 A whistle blows, the final starts
The colorful flags fluttered in Ernst Happel Stadium, and the shouts were shaking. The 2008 Swiss Austrian European Cup final was held here. More than 50,000 fans in the game roared wildly, and the sound was shaking the earth.
"Spain, Spain, Spain!" The fans of the Spanish national team cheered and roared wildly in the stands, cheering for their team. They danced wildly with the Spanish red team scarf in their hands, and shouted in a stern manner.[]
The flames, red flames shine in the night sky of Vienna, Austria, dazzling and dazzling.
"Germany, Germany, Germany!" Of course, the fans of the German national team were not willing to be outdone and roared wildly. They were fighting spirits wildly under the swaying of the battle flag, and their chests were filled with excitement, waiting to vent at any time.
The atmosphere in the stadium was extremely hot, and fans from both sides cheered for their teams frantically, looking forward to the start of the final.
There are many celebrities who come to the stadium today. Many very famous musicians in Austria appeared in the stands, and countless celebrities from all walks of life appeared at the Ernst Hapel Stadium in Vienna.
The most eye-catching one is the important leaders of the two teams of Germany and Spain, the Spanish King Juan Carlos and the King Princess and Princess appeared on the stadium, while the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the President appeared in the stands of this game.
Of course, Austrian Prime Ministers also appeared, and Swiss Prime Ministers also appeared in the stands at Ernst Haper Stadium. This game was such a gathering of celebrities and was extremely attractive.
The hot atmosphere in the stadium attracted everyone, and the commentators of national television stations on both sides were also very excited and busy.
At this time, the players on both sides were in the locker room, listening to the final tactical deployment of the head coach and making the final preparations before the game began.
In the locker room of the German national team.
Lof leaned against the door of the locker room and looked around his players. Lof then walked to his position, in front of the tactical board. In Lof's eyes, the players of the German national team were full of fighting spirit and bravery at this time, which made Lof feel more confident.
Although before the game, he said in an interview with reporters that the champion would be theirs and that the Spanish national team could not pose any threat to them. However, Lov knew in his heart that it was just a harsh word.
The Spanish national team... is very strong! Loew knew very well that the Spanish national team was very strong, with the strong midfielder, excellent skills, fast and flexible, which was indeed a bit troublesome for the tall and powerful German national team.
Of course this is a disadvantage, but isn’t it an advantage? The German national team can insist on playing high ball, so the Spanish national team will definitely feel uncomfortable.
After thinking about it carefully, Lou turned around and said to his players: "The strength of the Spanish national team lies in his midfield and his skills. It is obvious that the opponent is a single striker in this game and will focus on the midfield. This is their advantage. Our offense quickly passes through the midfield, then turns to the two sides, using the width of the court, not entangling with the opponent in the midfield, and then playing high balls in the penalty area. We have an advantage."
Then Lov drew two lines on the tactical board to signal the players of the German national team on both sides to seize the gap left by the Spanish national team on the assists on both sides and cut in, giving the opponent a fatal blow.
After setting up the tactics, Löw thought about it carefully for a long time, then felt that there was no problem, and then relaxed and left the time for the players themselves.
At this time, Barak was very excited. It was time for them to break the spell. He didn't want to be the runner-up again and win the nickname "King of Thirteen Ya".
Gong Zheng was very nervous at this time. After all, this was his first time participating in the finals of such a large-scale event. Of course, a young player like him was nervous. Although Gong Zheng had also seen some big scenes in the Fantasy Ball God system, he was still excited here. Listening to the deafening shouts outside, no one's heartbeat didn't speed up.
"Champion! We are going to decide the championship! German national team, champion!" Suddenly, Barack, the German national team's midfield core, immediately stood up and raised his fist and shouted loudly.
"Champion, we are the champions! Champion, we are the champions!" The players of the German national team stood up one after another, held their fists high, and roared wildly.
Seeing the players' fighting spirit, Lof, who was leaning against the locker room door, had a faint smile on his face.
In the locker room of the Spanish national team.
The old coach Aragones sat in front of the tactical board, drew two lines on the tactical board in succession, and then turned around to say to the players of the Spanish national team: "Fight behind, beat behind the opponent's two centre-backs, the opponent's centre-back is tall and big, but the turn is too slow. As long as we hit them hard behind, I firmly believe that the victory of this game will belong to us."
Spanish players held up the two lines on the tactical board one after another, and they all clearly imagined the tactics of the old coach Aragones in their minds.
"Fernandez, the next task of your game is to score goals. Seize every opportunity to score goals. We need a championship!" Spanish coach Aragones said very seriously.
"I understand, boss!" Fernandez Torres said, touching the hair between his forehead.
"Carles on the defense line must resist the young boy who called Gong Zheng today. I firmly believe that the boy will start in this game. Gerald pays attention to assisting defense and don't give that boy a chance. You must protect the title of best scorer for David!" The old coach Aragones immediately turned around and looked at the defender and said.
Carles Puyol and Gerald Pique nodded very firmly, and then said very seriously: "Boss, don't worry, he won't have a chance today!"
"Okay, there are only so many tactics today!" said the old coach Aragones immediately. "I think you already know the importance of this game, so I won't emphasize it more. But, I have to say the last sentence: The champion is from Spain!"
"Champion! The champion belongs to our Spain!" The players of the Spanish national team stood up one after another and shouted firmly.
"Okay! For the championship, move forward!" The old coach Aragones was like a general in front of the formation. With the wave of the flag, the Spanish soldiers rushed out of the locker room like beasts out of the cage.
When the Spanish national team players rushed out of the locker room and flocked into the player channel, where were the German national team players and members of the referee team of this game waiting.
The referee of the game is Rossetti from Italy. Rossetti is a referee who regards football as his life. In addition to his identity as a football referee, Rossetti, 40, is also the manager of a hospital in Turin. Rossetti believes that this is a recognition of him and his referee team work. He said that he will do his best to complete the work awarded to them by UEFA. He believes that this will be the most important game in his referee career. In addition to this final, the opening match of this European Cup against the Czech team is also jointly enforced by these three referees.
At this time, Rossetti was chatting with his two assistants, waiting for the on-site commentator's entry prompts. It could be seen that their expressions were very relaxed and there was no tension that people thought.
"Hello, fans, spectators, today we will bring you the final final of the 2008 Switzerland and Austria Europe. The two sides against the Bullfighters Legion Spanish national team and the German national team of the German national team." Monica Lilhaus, a beautiful commentator at the German national team sports station, explained excitedly.
"Okay, now the players from both sides are ready to enter the court, and the atmosphere in the whole audience is suddenly excited. The players from both sides are coming out!" The beautiful commentator Monica Lilhouse suddenly screamed in surprise.
Exciting music immediately sounded in Ernst Happel Stadium, and the fans in the Stadium cheered wildly.
Amid the cheers, the players from both sides followed Italian referee Rossetti out of the player channel. Walking in the German national team, the moment they walked out of the player channel, huge noises of cheers poured into Gong Zheng's ears, trembling with his eardrums. In an instant, Gong Zheng's heart beat rapidly, and the blood in his body was surging.
Excited, so excited.
Listening to the hot cheers, Gong Zheng felt that his heart was about to melt, which was so hot. This was the first time Gong Zheng experienced this in this European Cup. When he came to the stadium, players from both sides of the German and Western sides were listed on both sides of the referee group.
"Okay, the players on both sides have already appeared. What I have to do is play the national anthem ceremony!" The beautiful commentator Monica Lilhouse explained excitedly.
At this moment, the national anthem ceremony on site had begun. The first thing to play was the German national team's song. When the national anthem sounded, Gong Zheng stood in the crowd and felt a surge of pride in his heart. The cameras on the scene slid one by one on the faces of the German national team players...
After the national anthem of the German national team ended, the national anthem of the Spanish national team was played. Then the captains of both sides were called by the head coach to pick the side. At this time, fans of both sides in Ernst Haper cheered excitedly, because the final was about to begin.
Gong Zheng did the final warm-up on the court. Although he had already done warm-up exercises before, his unpleasantness could make his body cool down. Only by keeping his body warm can he avoid any accidental injuries on the court.
At this time, the captains of both sides had completed the side-picking ceremony. The German national team wanted the right to pick the side-picking. Barack asked for the goal behind the German national team fans, and the right to the ball was handed over to the Spanish national team.
"Okay, the players on both sides have already stood in their respective positions, and the final of this European Cup is about to begin." Monica Lilhaus, a beautiful commentator at the German National Sports Station, explained with great excitement, her big eyes stared at the stadium, and the football under the feet of Spanish striker Fernande Torres.
"Flute!" Rossetti blew the whistle in his mouth, and the final of the 2008 Swiss Austrian European Cup officially began.
Chapter completed!
