Chapter 272 Home Base Point

Amid the chaos, Manchester United began preparations for the Champions League final on the morning of May 24.

Media reporters from all over the world gathered in Manchester and wanted to interview Manchester United players on this matter, but Ferguson issued a gag order on this matter early on.

In addition, Manchester United's training in the past few days has also adopted a closed mode in order to prevent players from being disturbed by the outside world.

In addition to the Giggs scandal, there were also natural disasters that had a major impact on the Champions League final.

The Icelandic volcano continues to erupt, which has a great impact on European aviation. Volcanic ash has spread to Scotland and Ireland, causing flight disruptions. The British Meteorological Department has long predicted that volcanic ash will cover southern Britain at noon on the 24th.

The volcanic ash could close the UK's airports for days or even weeks.

Therefore, Manchester United, who originally planned to fly to London, temporarily changed the mode of transportation to taking a train.

Fortunately, Manchester is only two to three hundred kilometers away from London. Whether by plane or train, the impact will not be big. This can be regarded as the advantage of playing at home.

But it's a bit of a problem for Barcelona, ​​because they have to race against volcanic ash before the decisive battle against Manchester United. As of the early morning of the 24th local time, 12 round-trip flights between Spain and the British Isles had been cancelled.

Barcelona was supposed to fly to London at 9 a.m. local time on the 27th, conduct field adaptability training on the morning of the 28th, and then participate in the Champions League final in the evening. However, the severe situation of the spread of volcanic ash forced Barcelona to change their schedule.

The club even made plans in case the plane couldn't take off on time.

If you can't fly, Barcelona can only choose the following two options: take a bus to Paris first, and then take the "Eurostar" express train from Paris across the English Channel to London; or take a bus to Calais, France, and then take the English Channel No matter which plan is used to travel from the undersea tunnel to London, the journey will exceed 2,000 kilometers, and the fatigue of traveling and traveling will greatly affect the team's preparations.

Barcelona suffered from volcanic ash when they played in the Champions League semi-finals last year. In the first round of their away game against Inter Milan, the volcanic ash caused the airport to close, making it impossible to fly to Milan. The entire Barcelona team had to take a bus to go to the away game. The 1,000-kilometer journey was too long. The team traveled for more than 10 hours and stayed in France for one night on the way, which greatly consumed the team's physical energy. As a result, in the Meazza match, Barcelona lost 1:0 to their opponents. After a 3-goal reversal, they were eventually eliminated by Inter Milan.

The team flies to London in advance to avoid the hassle of traveling, but the more than 20,000 Barcelona fans who will go to Wembley to watch the game may not be able to fly to the scene. No wonder Guardiola said worriedly: "Now our worries are mainly focused on On the fans. The final will be exciting and we are playing for the fans, but if half the stadium is empty, it will make people feel uncomfortable. You must know that Manchester United is playing at home, their fans do not need to fly."

………………

After two days of preparation, all Manchester United players boarded the train from Manchester to London in the evening of May 26.

This is really a rare experience for Bell. Of course, this is not to say that Bell has never taken a train. Before time travel, his main mode of transportation when traveling in the East was trains. In many cases, he would take trains for more than ten hours or even more than twenty hours. Now these two or three The hour's drive is really just child's play.

However, after traveling through time, Bell really rarely takes the train, because when Manchester United plays away games, he either takes a plane or a bus.

According to Ferguson's arrangement, Manchester United will arrive in London around 8 o'clock tonight and then check into the hotel that has been booked. On the morning of the 27th, the team will conduct a training session at Tottenham's White Hart Lane training base, and in the afternoon they will go to a concert to relax the players and reduce stress.

Then on the day of the game, I went to the new Wembley Stadium for practical training in the morning, and then waited for the final to start at 7:45 pm.

The game was held at Wembley Stadium, and Manchester United actually had the upper hand. Although the first Champions League Gold Cup in the history of the Barcelona club was won at Wembley Stadium, this was already 19 years ago, and the newly renovated Wembley Stadium is even stranger to Barcelona. On the contrary, Manchester United often plays games here and has played many games here this season. The most recent game was the FA Cup final two weeks ago. The Red Devils are very familiar with the venue environment.

With the right time, location, and people, Manchester United is actually playing at home.
