As soon as the "Young Guards" arrived at the Rome airport, journalists from all over Europe surrounded the group. Simon Grayson had no choice but to accept an interview with the reporters.

"Yes! I really hope to get this Champions League trophy. We have the confidence and strength to win the trophy!"

"Of course, Inter Milan is still very strong, otherwise they would not have reached the Champions League final!"

"Is the one who scored goals? Shaq! I believe Shaq, who is in good shape recently, will score goals. His current condition reminds me of him ten years ago. Although the Italian team's defensive ability is not weak, you all know that Shaq can break through any team's goal."

"Haha, the starting lineup is related to the tactical arrangements of our team. I don't want it to be exposed so early! Mancini is an excellent coach. If he knows our tactics, we will face many difficulties in this game."

Simon Grayson held a press conference for a full and half hour at the airport, talking about possible transfers from the Champions League final itself, which gave the reporters the maximum satisfaction, so Simon Grayson left.

The reason why Inter Milan has performed well this season is mainly due to their head coach... Robert Mancini!

Because Bartini retired, Mancini returned to Inter Milan this season and led the team to the Champions League final, which is a typical example of success in the second-hand palace. When he coached Inter Milan twenty years ago, he could only be limited to the Italian domestic Serie A league, and he had no results in the Champions League. He wasted the financial support of Inter Milan at that time, Moratti, and was completely a reflection of his lack of personal ability.

But now... Mancini, who is already 60 years old, returned to Italy after traveling for a long time. He is already an experienced coach and is able to lead Inter Milan, who is not very strong, to reach the Champions League final. Mancini makes great contributions.

However, Mancini still showed his due modesty before the game. Although he was a few years older than Simon Grayson, he was really incomparable in terms of results.

"Simon is a great head coach. His coaching level is the world's top. His team can always show a very strong dominance. Leeds United this season is very strong. If we want to defeat them... we must exert 12% of our strength to be possible. Now both I and the team are ready."

Mancini said it very modestly and placed himself and the team as a weak person, but he still didn't expect that his team would be... so weak!

At 19:45 pm on May 31, in the Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, less than a minute before the game began, the players of Inter Milan had not yet touched the ball. Leeds United, who was the first to kick off, scored!

Shaq kicked the ball in the middle circle and kicked the ball to Brookman. The ball was passed back to Ashley Hood, then transferred to Ben Parker on the left and passed directly to Lance in the front left.

After taking a few steps in the horizontal wheel, Lens passed the ball to Brookman in the middle. Then Brookman controlled the ball, looked forward at Shaq's position, and kicked a curved ball with a "bang", and the ball was directly sent to Inter Milan's penalty area on the right side!

Shaq turned around and ran into the Inter Milan penalty area diagonally. He directly faced Inter Milan goalkeeper Ziller!

Shaq raised his right foot and made a fake shot. The German goalkeeper shook his center of gravity for a while. He then used his left foot to push the ball to the outside of the right and took two more steps, then he took the ball into the lower right corner of the Inter Milan goal with a "boom" sound!

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"The ball has been scored! The game has just begun, and Leeds United took the lead! The goalkeeper is Shaq! This is Shaq's 19th goal in the Champions League this season! Tsk tsk! It's true that he is the king of football Shaq!"

Leeds United's side was stunned for a moment before celebrating in surprise. Several substitutes were not yet on the bench, but the ball... actually went in!

Simon Grayson laughed and hugged Harvey for a moment, then stood on the sidelines and clapped, and gave a thumbs up. He really thought that Brookman, who was better at defending than John Allen, could even give Shaq such a wonderful assist.

Because of Leeds captain Jonny Hausen, Leeds United's recently commonly used midfield combination John Allen + Brookman became Jonny Hausen + Brookman. Simon Grayson still thinks Jonny Hausen's experience and fighting spirit can play a greater role. In addition, in games like the Champions League final, the captain cannot play as long as he is not seriously injured, he must not be absent.

Leeds United led 1:0 less than a minute after the game began, making Leeds United side ecstatic and Inter Milan side felt like they were in a dream. But among the people sitting in the stands, there was one who was in a very complicated mood, that was... Marsio!

The Brazilian central defender who has been confirmed to join Inter Milan after the summer transfer window opens a month later, will not have many opportunities to play after the winter transfer period. Simon Grayson also told him clearly that Marsio could understand that he would give Knuckles more training opportunities. After all, he will no longer enjoy better treatment.

But seeing Leeds United winning the "triple championship" in England and reaching the Champions League final, Marsio felt a little uncomfortable. Now seeing his old club leading the new club on the court, he felt even more confused. He didn't know whether to cheer for his old club's goals or sigh for his upcoming tragic fate.

At the same time, Marcio still felt a little jealousy and regret in his heart!

If... if...ah, then I should be one of the members of the UEFA Champions League trophy on the court now!?

Think about how huge benefits it would bring if it could win the title of main central defender of a Champions League champion team!?

As Marcio, who is extremely familiar with Leeds United, he knows Leeds United so well. Once Leeds United gains a lead, this team will become invincible. Shaq, Lons, and Hoydenk's three-arrow speed is definitely a nightmare for all opponents!

Even if Leeds United does not play defensive counterattack, once they find their offensive rhythm, they will definitely be able to break through any opponent's goal. There is no doubt about this!

The backward Inter Milan side immediately made tactical adjustments. Mancini waved his hand and signaled that the team would turn to defense to offense!

This is the Champions League final. Losing one goal is also losing, and losing two goals is also losing. It is better to take advantage of the beginning of the game and the opponent has just scored a balloon and has not yet fully entered the state. It is really not possible... Then just withdraw and defend.

Mancini's move was really effective. In the next ten minutes, Inter Milan was playing hard around Leeds United, but the retracted Leeds United defended very tightly. After two years of training from Simon Grayson and the competition in these two seasons, the young players finally began to mature. With Shaq, Jonny Hausen, Ashley Hood, Ben Parker, the performance on the court can only be described as calm.

Leeds United's steady defense is not a good thing for Inter Milan!

In the 12th minute, Leeds United launched the most threatening counterattack after the start of the game. Shaq pulled the ball to the right and took the ball. After seeing the situation of his teammates following up, he stopped and got rid of Nigerian left-back John Overrey. After flashing a free kick, he kicked the ball to Hoydenk's feet in the middle.

Hoydenk dribbled the ball into the Inter Milan penalty area. Facing Ziller who was attacking, he also learned Shaq's previous moves and thrust the ball towards the front right, then chased after him and swung his right foot to complete the shot.

"Bang!"

The ball flew towards Inter Milan's goal in the lower left corner, and was about to fly into a dead corner, but it was bounced back by the goal post with a "despite" sound!

"oh--"

Hoydenk hugged his head in pain...

At this moment, Ziller, who turned around to chase the ball, barely received the ball bounced out of the goal post. There was a blue figure that was sliding against the ground in front of him, and then he made the ball into the goal with one kick!

This...what's going on!?

You know, in this Champions League final, Inter Milan is wearing their traditional jerseys, blue and black arrow shirts!

"Own goal!"

"God! Inter Milan's luck is so bad! Own goal! Go back to the 4th, Argentine central defender Luis Pereira tackled the ball into his own goal!"

"Does Louis want to transfer to Leeds United next season? Such a ball...he dares to tackle his own goal!?"

"Inter Milan is so unlucky! Leeds United are so lucky!"

When Hoydenk turned sadness into joy, laughed and ran towards Shaq, the commentators from various countries gathered in the commentators' seats, and there were also people who said anything.

Argentine central defender Luis Pereira, who scored an own goal, just lay quietly on his goal line, his chest undulating rapidly... His eyes were closed, which was so painful!

In such a critical game as the Champions League final, when his team fell behind with one goal, he actually... scored an own goal!

Damn it!

It's so fucking damn!

Inter Milan coach Mancini was dark on the court. Because he couldn't get Marcio immediately in the winter transfer, he bought it and planned to serve Marcio as a substitute for Marcio next season. It was indeed useless!

Fortunately, Inter Milan is about to have Marsio, and then it will have a stable defense line!

only……
Chapter completed!
