I am the king of football

Chapter 460 Back to Wembley

As time approaches the end of May, summer is finally approaching. However, for England, an island country, the weather in the whole country is still not hot. The occasional thunderstorms make Londoners always carry an umbrella when going out.

On this day, when the streets of London were consciously decorated with a red theme by British fans, many fans appeared on the streets wearing red jerseys and carrying flags.

On this special day, even if it rains heavily, these fans will never dodge, because they will welcome the Champions League final with the participation of Premier League teams at Wembley, the greatest and most magnificent stadium in the whole of Britain.

This time, when Manchester United fans from all over the country and even the world flocked to London, neither the Gunners fans nor the Blues fans came out to make trouble for them. Even some bars that previously belonged exclusively to Arsenal and Chelsea fans made an exception and hung up the Manchester United flag on that day.

This made Dortmund feel tremendous pressure when the bus appeared on the streets of the city. Without a training ground provided by Manchester United's arch-rivals, they conducted training in a private stadium they rented during the period before the game.

Whenever their yellow and black colors appeared on the streets, they would be surrounded by huge boos, which caused considerable problems in the transfer of the team bus. Fortunately, half a day was not particularly difficult. After the final preparation time was over, Dortmund's bus successfully arrived at Wembley Stadium despite the huge boos.

Wembley, which can accommodate 100,000 people, is more magnificent than Dortmund's home stadium, Westfalenstadion. Although the Hornets' home stadium is recognized as one of the top devil's home stadiums in Europe, its architectural specifications are still far behind.

The players of the Hornets were quite amazed at this stadium. It was worthy of being the venue for the Champions League final. It was indeed an encouragement for them to be able to hold such a big battle here.

However, for their opponents, Manchester United is already very familiar with this stadium. From defeating their opponents in the League Cup and lifting the championship trophy here, their FA Cup semi-finals and final FA Cup were also held here.

In other words, this stadium has witnessed them win two championship trophies, and it is definitely a blessed place for Manchester United players.

When the Manchester United players set out from the training base provided by Tottenham and arrived at Wembley in advance, the players in the car were all talking and laughing. They had almost no nervousness caused by having to go to an unfamiliar venue for the Champions League final. For Manchester United players, this season they have regarded this stadium as half of the team's home ground.

Therefore, when the bus stopped in the Wembley parking lot, the players quickly entered the familiar locker room with ease, and without Ferguson saying much, they quickly changed into their jerseys.

Finally, after their boss nodded, the entire Red Devils team stepped into the stadium.

"Okay, as the host of Wembley, all the Manchester United players have entered the stadium. This game will usher in the third final in this stadium. You can see that all the Red Devils are in very good condition."

As it was the Champions League final, CCTV's live broadcast had already received the signal very early. Zhan Junzheng was constantly chatting with the host sitting in China about various interesting stories before this season's Champions League final. Looking at the Red Devils team on the field, he was also very excited.

"Chinese player Qin Hu is doing shooting training. According to the starting lineup provided by Ferguson, Qin Hu has once again become the undisputed starting striker of Manchester United's lineup."

This match has been hyped up for a long time in China, and the final will be held in the early hours of the weekend, so almost every household in China is watching the live broadcast on TV. Whether fans or not, the significance of Qin Hu's match has long been explained very clearly by various reporters and media, and everyone is looking forward to Qin Hu achieving the highest honor in the history of Chinese players.

At the same time, around the world, as live broadcasts from various countries came in, more and more fans were watching this match. For football fans all over the world, the Champions League final can be regarded as the last carnival of the season.

With the end of this tournament, the five major leagues will all enter the off-season, and everyone will have to wait for a long summer window before they can cheer for football again.

So, no one wanted to miss all this, and everyone's eyes quickly turned to the players from both sides on the court.

As Manchester United's warm-up was more than halfway through, all the Dortmund players entered the stadium. The Hornets players, wearing yellow and black home jerseys, were obviously younger than the average age of Manchester United, but none of them showed too much nervousness after entering the stadium.

There is no doubt that Barcelona has made great contributions in this regard. Although their two-round losses were embarrassing, they really gave Dortmund confidence. The competition experience and confidence that the Hornets have always lacked were directly made up.

"Oh!"

At Wembley Stadium, where there were more Manchester United fans on both sides, Dortmund's top striker Lewandowski fired a powerful shot into the goal, and then the entire Dortmund team also engaged in the final warm-up.

Both teams were very dedicated in their warm-up. When the two teams finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room, the players of both teams rarely interacted with their fans.

But the fans didn't care. As UEFA officials and guests arrived at their seats one by one in the South Stand of Wembley, Prince William, a member of the English royal family who loves football, also arrived as scheduled. After the UEFA president stood up and shook hands with him, Prince William sat directly in the C position.

When the camera turned to William, all the British fans in the stadium cheered to greet him. The fans of the Red Devils reacted the most, because in the first two finals when Prince William came to this stadium, their team eventually won the championship. In their eyes, His Royal Highness is also a lucky general.

What caused the second sensation was the entry of the Champions League trophy, which was tied with Manchester United's red ribbon on the left and Dortmund's yellow and black ribbon on the right. This symbol of glory, which is the dream of every team participating in the Champions League every season, was placed neatly at the entrance of the player tunnel.

When the two teams follow the referee onto the field side by side, all players will have the opportunity to get close to the trophy that has not yet been engraved with their names, and when the final whistle of the game blows, one team will have the opportunity to hold the trophy.

There is no doubt that this is the most direct and effective way to mobilize the troops of both sides to fight bravely.

Today's update! I've been so busy these days that I didn't realize that the 13 Champions League final was played at Wembley. I had previously written that the draw was held in Monaco, but now I've changed it. Please bear with me.
