Football’s First Defender

After the second round with Barcelona, ​​there are still three full weeks before the Champions League final on May 27. This also makes how to ensure the player's game state and be in the best condition on the day of the Champions League final. Dink's top priority!

After the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, in the 36th round of the Premier League three days later, Hiddink continued to insist on the rotation of the team to ensure that the main players would not be overtired due to continuous battles!

Although this game is a London derby with Arsenal, Hiddink's attitude is still indifferent. He would rather lose to his rivals in the same city in the league, but also ensure that his players can be at their best in the subsequent Champions League final state!

But to everyone's surprise, at the Emirates Stadium, even though Wenger sent the main players to start, it may be that the knockout match with Manchester United was too exhausting a few days ago, or it may be because of the results. The game is irrelevant, the performance of Arsenal players is extremely bad, and many players seem to have entered the holiday state!

Although Arshavin scored a goal for Arsenal in the second half with his personal ability, but Arsenal's overall defense in this game was terrible. Anelka and Kalou's striker combination completely penetrated Arsenal's defense. Chelsea finally beat Arsenal 4-1 in the away game!

Continue to maintain his winning streak in the league!

Even as a substitute player, he has proved his strength in this Chelsea team!

However, Chelsea's winning streak did not bring the team a counterattack in the league. Manchester United easily defeated their city rivals Manchester City 2-0 in the weekend game. Victory, a 2-1 away victory over Wigan Athletic, and finally won the Premier League championship this season two rounds ahead of schedule.

In the next two league rounds, Manchester United can also give players a certain amount of relaxation and prepare for the Champions League final two weeks later!

In the penultimate round of the game, Chelsea played with all their main players, using the Premier League game to ensure the player's state, and finally defeated the visiting Blackburn Rovers easily 2-0 at home! Didier Drogba and Anelka each scored a goal, continuing the good shooting state of the season!

The final game of the Premier League this season will kick off at the same time for all teams on May 24, and the Champions League final will be three days later!

In the last round of the league, Hiddink continued to send the full main lineup to play. Chelsea scored three goals in the first half, which fully proved that the players are in good condition recently!

Although in the second half of the game, in order to preserve their strength and avoid injuries, the performance of the Chelsea players declined to a certain extent, and Sunderland scored two goals in a row, but Chelsea still ended the 08/09 season with a victory. Ranked 3rd in the league with a gap of 7 points from champion Manchester United!

After the game with Sunderland, the Chelsea team flew to Rome, Italy, preparing for the Champions League revenge battle with Manchester United!

The Olympic Stadium in Rome is the host of this UEFA Champions League. As one of the most famous stadiums in Italy, it has hosted many large-scale events!

It is also the common home ground of the two teams of Roma and Lazio, and is well known by countless fans who follow Serie A!

The Rome Olympia Stadium can accommodate 105,000 people, including 80,000 seats and 25,000 standing seats!

In order to take care of the fans of both sides, Chelsea and Manchester United fans each get more than 30,000 seats, and the other seats are sold by local stadiums for local and fans from all over the world!

Also after the last round of the game, Manchester United, who had already celebrated the league championship at home and celebrated the league championship one round earlier, flew directly to Rome, just like Chelsea, to prepare for the nearby Champions League match!

Manchester United rented Rome's training ground, while Chelsea chose Lazio's training base!

The two Premier League teams will play the final of this UEFA Champions League on the soil of Italy!

Countless England fans also poured into Italy and the ancient city of Rome!

In addition to watching the Champions League final live, they can also take a slightly longer vacation and travel to Italy!

Many Chinese fans also came to Rome to cheer for Yang Feng, Chelsea and Manchester United! Chinese elements have also begun to appear on the stage of the Champions League final!

The whole Chelsea team, after arriving in Italy, immediately entered the mode of concentrating on preparing for the game. Except for some official interview tasks, the whole Chelsea team rejected outside interviews before the game!

On the other hand, Ferguson commented on the results of Chelsea and Hiddink in the second half of the season in the pre-match interview. Although he generally affirmed Chelsea's results, but inside and outside the words, it may not be that Manchester United is superior!

"Chelsea did well, but we won 4-1 in the two rounds this season and it's easy!"

"Thanks to Chelsea, at least our whole team is more willing to meet them than to face Barcelona!"

"A head coach who has led the team for half a year and relied on his predecessor Yu Ze for most of his tactics, I don't think he can beat me!"

Numerous quotes from Ferguson's pre-match interviews were reported, but Chelsea did not respond, they just kept silent!

In a routine interview afterwards, Hiddink revealed that he was very reluctant to fight a war of words, thinking that it had no meaning to football, it could be regarded as an insinuation of Ferguson Ferguson!

After that, Hiddink also revealed that during this week, the team, apart from the collective entertainment items, has closed the news from the outside world, so that the players and the coaching staff can concentrate on preparing for the game, rather than in some meaningless games. Waste of energy on things!

Sir Ferguson has hit a soft nail!

Although many good news media relayed Ferguson's words to Hiddink, Hiddink refused to comment because it had nothing to do with the game!

Hiddink's plan is very simple. If he has a pre-match confrontation with Ferguson, an old fox who has rich coaching experience and has been at the center of the professional football whirlpool in England for many years, he will definitely not get any advantage, so it is better to cut off the opponent's interference directly. This way, let the players and themselves have a quiet space, concentrate on coping with the game, instead of being recruited outside the game, causing psychological blows and emotional changes!

The Chelsea players also understood and agreed to Hiddink's suggestion to cut off communication with the outside world and concentrate on the game!

For most Chelsea players, Manchester United has been Chelsea's biggest opponent in recent years, whether it is in the Premier League or in the Champions League!

In the previous two years of the league, Chelsea fell behind Manchester United by a small gap, and lost the league championship! And the penalty shootout in the rainy night in Moscow last year, losing the Champions League champion, is the eternal pain of many Chelsea players!

This year, their goal is to take revenge and bring the Champions League trophy back to Stamford Bridge!

For this championship, in order to wash away the pain of failure in the Champions League final last year, the Chelsea players are willing to give up everything and concentrate on preparing for the game!

Many players understand that there are not many opportunities left for them to create brilliance in the European arena, and they must seize this opportunity to compete for the championship!
