[〈May 19th UEFA Champions League Final〉 Manchester City VS FC Barcelona]

The game that soccer fans around the world look forward to the most.

Two days before the European Champions League final, provocative articles poured out, but among them, there was one that was receiving particular attention.

[ UEFA Champions League final ticket price is beyond imagination… expected to be the highest in history]

There was noise coming from all over about this.

According to reports from Spain’s credible media outlet Marca and the UK’s Guardian, the ticket price allocated to Manchester City fans is known to be at least 5.5 million won.

Of course, he was a nobleman at this level.

Since it was a section with a difficult view of the stadium, 30 million won worth of money was needed to purchase Category 2, which was a higher section.

And the VIP zone was in the 40 to 50 million won range.

For comparison, it is comparable to the World Cup.

The reason the European Champions League has come to this point is because it has become such a hot topic.

A match between Manchester City, who has already achieved a treble and an undefeated win, and Barcelona, who are dreaming of taking flight with a treble just around the corner.

There were quite a few interesting elements there.

The first element was ‘revenge’.

[Will it be Pep Guardiola’s revenge against Barcelona or Barcelona’s revenge against Woo Ho-Young?]

People’s first concern was whether Guardiola, who was fired from Barcelona, would be able to successfully seek revenge against Barcelona.

There is no revenge in the world more thrilling than winning the Champions League against the club that was sacked.

And the second was the relationship between Barcelona and Woo Ho-young.

A bad relationship that cannot be separated even if the affiliated league changes.

This time, unprecedented interest and expectations were focused on whether Barcelona would be able to defeat Woo Ho-young.

Barcelona’s supporters, Culé, wanted to win against Woo Ho-young just once.

And the third thing fans were interested in was the match between Lionel Messi and Woo Ho-young.

[Lionel Messi breaks his own record with 17 points]

Messi showed explosive scoring power in the semifinals against Bayern Munich, reaching 17 points.

He has already achieved 51 goals in La Liga, so if he continues to do well in the second half of the year, he might be able to surpass 100 goals this year.

Hoyoung’s momentum after the Beijing Olympics had a positive effect in many ways.

On the other hand, Hoyoung was currently leading the team with 19 goals.

In relation to this, major sports media outlets in Spain were covering it from various perspectives.

[〈As〉 Woo Ho-young should not be compared to Messi, but to the entire Barcelona team]

[〈Marca〉 The match between Woo Ho-young and Lionel Messi is not a rivalry, but a clear hierarchical relationship… When analyzed in depth, Lionel Messi is about two It turned out to be at a lower level]

As and Marca media, which do not have a very good relationship with Barcelona, were busy praising Woo Ho-young while criticizing Messi.

The pro-Barcelona El Mundo and Sport media did the opposite.

[〈El Mundo Deportivo〉 The chronic problem of Asians, ‘Skill rapidly declines after age 21’ Lionel Messi’s biggest invisible weakness]

[〈Sport〉 Number of dribbles per game, number of successful dribbles, number of successful left foot shots, etc… in full The reborn Lionel Messi is ahead of Woo Ho-young in numerous records… Some experts said, “It is not at all that Lionel Messi is outclassed in a match between the two.”] [

〈Don Ballon〉 Lionel Messi defeated Woo Ho-young in this match. In order to deal with him, he has received secret strategies from Maradona and Pele.]

And Don Ballon, known as the ‘Messi-only media company’, showed his admiration for Messi as always.

The majority of soccer fans were also cheering for Barcelona.

Didn’t they say that neutrality was originally about being on the side of the weak?

Although Barcelona’s fans were already overwhelmingly numerous, the wave of support for Barcelona was growing stronger, with even soccer fans hoping for a revolt by the underdog.

The atmosphere within the club was also as good as Manchester City.

But the ideal and reality were starkly different.

Experts predicted ten out of ten Manchester City wins.

This was a fact that could be seen just by looking at the odds allocated to Manchester City on betting sites.

But there was also the opposite.

The famous columnist and editor-in-chief of Spain’s Don Ballon presented the possibility of Barcelona’s victory by providing plausible reasons.

[Spanish soccer magazine Don Balónn]

[Written by La Saeta Oscuro]

[A high-flying bird falls on the wings of a soaring bird]

[Upcoming European Champions League final. As a soccer expert, I think Manchester City has a very high chance of winning. The reason is because of Woo Ho-young.

The first time I covered Woo Ho-young in an article was about 7 years ago, and at that time, the article mentioned that Woo Ho-young’s only weakness was ‘age’.

But look at Woo Ho-young now.

Now, he stands tall at the top of the world with a vibrant youthful spirit that no one else has. Manchester City also rose to that position. But what goes up fast comes down fast.

Currently, Barcelona can be compared to a ‘flying bird’. The team recorded 100 points and 110 points in the league, and Lionel Messi and David Villa scored 120 goals in the season. This is a performance that is not much inferior to Manchester City.

In addition, Barcelona has one huge advantage that Manchester City does not have. That means having the experience of winning the Champions League.

On the other hand, neither the manager nor the team at Manchester City have any winning experience. There will inevitably be shortcomings in preparing for the finals, which will inevitably affect the confidence of the players.

Moreover, Barcelona’s players know Guardiola very well. If you dig deeper into his soccer philosophy and tactics, you will be able to sufficiently exploit the loopholes.

Considering these circumstances, the author confidently predicts Barcelona’s possibility of victory. Now is the time to defeat Woo Ho-young. Nevertheless, if Manchester City wins, I promise that I will not write articles criticizing Woo Ho-young in the future.]

The editor-in-chief of Don Ballon was showing great faith in Barcelona.

Barcelona this season was that strong.

Of course, in the second leg of the semi-finals against Bayern Munich, controversy arose and they were called ‘Buy Celona’, but in this final, it was out of the question.

This is because the current situation in the European Football Confederation is very serious.

It was all a result of Real Madrid.

The course of the incident was as follows.

[Chairman Calderon, angry at Real Madrid’s absence: “It’s the fault of some incompetent staff. “We will rebuild the club by rebuilding it,” he said, announcing a change in business.]

[Some staff at Real Madrid rebuttal, “It’s the leadership that is incompetent. The power of awake socios is absolutely necessary to remove the stained shadow.”]

Attached.

Due to that poor performance, Real Madrid was divided right after the season ended.

The problem did not end there.

[Real Madrid’s current kit manager ‘Revealed the installation of a wiretapping device in the visiting team’s locker room under the direction of Bruno, the stadium general manager’ The game in question was the semi-final against Manchester City… Reexamining the interview with Woo Ho-young, who said that all tactics were exposed]

[Bruno, the stadium general manager Administrator confessed, “Calderon ordered it.”]

When a large-scale investigation was conducted, all the charges were revealed very simply.

This was a passage that proved that Calderon’s interpersonal relationships were that weak.

Accordingly, a prosecution investigation was launched as reports were received regarding various internal corruptions.

The anti-Calderon forces that had been hiding everywhere rose up.

[Real Madrid leadership’s non-transparent financial management exposed]

[Protests for President Calderon’s resignation that continue for several days]

[There are even suspicions of manipulating the ‘golden retriever’ caught by Ho-young Woo… On the other hand, Ho-young Woo receives a commercial offer for dog products… [Seoul]

[Real Madrid continues to fall from bad news to bad news… ‘Destruction’]

Even coach Pellegrini and various players were subject to gossip.

At the same time, Real Madrid was literally on the verge of collapse. [Key players

such as

Cristiano Ronaldo,

Thanks to that, the game was going to be played very cleanly.

The match venue is Allianz Arena.

The opening ceremony was held on May 19th in very sunny weather.

FC Bayern Munich’s honorary president and Germany’s greatest legend, Franz Beckenbauer, appeared as an ambassador for the finals and added glory to the game.

After a while, the opening ceremony began.

Jonas Kaufmann, the world’s most unique tenor, passionately sang ‘The Stars Shine’ and immediately after, world-renowned violinist David Garrett stepped forward and performed a solo performance.

At the same time, the Champions League trophy ‘Big Ear’ appeared above Tongcheon and the two began to sing together.

And as soon as a spark appeared in the air, it magically transformed into a large replica trophy and the Champions League theme song played.

It was that moment.

[Ladies and Gentlemen! Please welcome Your teams! For UEFA Champions league final!]

-Ce sont les meilleures équipes! (They are the best teams!)

-Es sind die allerbesten Mannschaften! (They are truly the best teams!)

Players from both teams who entered with the sound of that glory cheered. They stood side by side right below.

It was the moment when the large club flags in the supporters’ section of both goal posts were waving.

“Waaaaaaaa!”

The greatest show on earth.

It was a level that no one could deny that it was the greatest performance in the history of the European Champions League.

It was also a monumental event that the British Prime Minister, German Prime Minister, American President, French President, etc. were watching the game in real time at the ongoing G8 summit.

[To the 66,000 spectators and the hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, the game will begin soon.]

After the grand opening, silence came to the stadium.

Then, after a while, the supporters of both teams who had been waiting for this day spoke in unison.

It was just as the countdown began.

““Three!””

““Two!””

““One!!””

Bleep!

““Woooooooo!!””

[Yes, the 2012 European Champions League final has finally begun! Manchester City challenges for a new throne. And Barcelona challenges him!]

Manchester City came out with a 4-3-3 formation as everyone expected.

The same was true for Barcelona.

[He looks like a manager who pursued the same kind of soccer as Barcelona’s Tito Vilanova and Guardiola. The basic structure of tactics seems to be the same as Man City.]

[That’s right. You could say it is a battle between teacher and disciple. Since he was a soul partner with Guardiola, he would know him better.]

[It could be said to be a double-edged sword. You can see through other people’s thoughts, but it’s easy for your own thoughts to be discovered.]

[But I don’t know. I heard a rumor that Barcelona made the most thorough preparations ever?]

[Haha. We will soon find out if the rumor is true.]

Tito Vilanova, his student, took the lead.

It was quietly revealing its presence as if it had prepared a secret weapon.

[From the start of the game, Barcelona players are applying strong forward pressure. It looks definitely different from usual.]

[I see. The players are moving around actively, surrounding Man City’s players from various directions. Very brave.]

A very complex tactic that can be seen at a glance.

It is difficult to press on all four sides, but Barcelona partially changed the formation like an endlessly changing cell, leaving no room for the opponent.

It was a team-based pressure that could not even be imitated with a reasonable understanding of tactics.

This is only possible if one person has at least two roles.

All of these were tactics devised by renowned tacticians and famous managers and coaches from all over the world together with Tito Vilanova.

They were busy with their own work, but the reason they came together was to achieve one goal.

Ho-Young Woo’s Manchester City.

It was a secret organization created to defeat it.

And so began a fierce battle in which everything was on the line.
