Chapter 1116 Game Day

On the day of the competition, it is generally a group action, and there will be no individual activities.

The main one is easy to manage.

Of course, Lucky's pre-match interview is an exception, after all, it is a mandatory requirement of the Champions League organizers.

However, the interview will also be conducted at the hotel.

At about 7:00 in the morning, Lucky finished the interview, and there were only a few main questions, so just confuse them casually.

After bidding farewell to the reporters of the competition group, Le Kai came to the restaurant.

"Today's dishes are still not rich enough!"

Wilshere started complaining when he saw the game meal.

As a master who loves meat, he should not eat too much meat before the game, so as to keep his body light.

For this reason, Wilshere will complain about the pre-match meal every time before the game.

There is no big requirement for these Lucky.

Whether it's a vegetable salad or a meat set meal, Lucky is very happy to eat.

After feeling a little full, the players began to put down their knives and forks and stopped eating.

The time on the day of the game is still a bit tight.

After eating, the players took the bus to the field to adapt.

Around 10 o'clock in the morning, they arrived at the Nou Camp.

This stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 people, is empty at this time.

In addition to some lawn caretakers, guides and event personnel arranged by Barcelona, are Arsenal players.

The whole field-stomping activity will not last for too long, which is a process of adaptation.

At noon, the field has to be watered and inspected once to ensure that there are no stones or sharp objects on the field to ensure the normal progress of the game.

Arsenal completed the stampede at 10:30.

It took a total of half an hour.

Back to the hotel at noon and eat again.

This time, they had to eat more generously. After all, the game was at night, so they couldn't eat anything high in calories after the afternoon.

For this reason, the noon meal generally meets the energy intake needs of the players.

After a full meal, Mourinho arranged for the players to gather in the tactical room.

This is the last tactical arrangement before the game.

This is also the final adjustment, and the specific list of matches will be announced during this time period.

The entire tactical course took an hour, and the players took a short nap, which was considered to be lack of energy.

The next step is to fully prepare for the evening game.

The most difficult aspect of the away game is not the pressure brought by the away fans, but the ability to adapt to an unfamiliar environment.

For example, how to adapt to the high temperature in Barcelona.

Despite the experience of swimming for a day, the players still feel a little uncomfortable.

The timing of hydration and how to ensure the state of the body will be finally adjusted at this point in time.

The time came to the evening unconsciously.

At this time, it is time for the Arsenal players to set off for the competition venue.

Under the arrangement of the staff, they boarded the car uniformly, and the equipment and other equipment have been delivered early.

At five o'clock, Arsenal set off on time.

At the same time, Barcelona on the other side also went to the stadium during this time period.

The two sides almost arrived at the Nou Camp.

Different from the daytime, the Camp Nou stadium at night is very hot.

A large number of away fans from Barcelona and Arsenal gathered here, and the local police in Barcelona also maintained order.

The subway is running one after another, transporting more fans of the two teams to the stadium.

It can be said that this area has gathered more than 100,000 fans.

This is also the charm of the Champions League.

At this time, the Camp Nou stadium has undoubtedly become the focus of the entire city and even Spain.

Arsenal's bus arrived at the stadium amid cheers.

After entering the stadium from the side door, there are already guides at the door to guide them like a locker room.

Along the way, the players walked in silence.

This also adds to the tension before the game.

After entering the locker room, Arsenal's casual staff are already waiting here.

Seeing the players walk in, they all started clapping their hands and cheering.

"come on!"

"Guys! See you tonight!"

"Take the victory!"

"Let's have a blast!"

Arsenal players followed the staff to high-five, and immediately came to their lockers.

The jerseys used for the game are already hanging on the locker, and the warm-up clothes are stacked here and there on the table in the middle.

There are two sets of game jerseys and warm-up jerseys.

The locker room before the game was not as lively or solemn as the outside world thought.

Everyone is doing their own things in an orderly manner.

For example, Hummels and Jimenez sat together, discussing issues in a low voice.

Kanter wore headphones, dazed in a daze.

Wilshere quickly put on the warm-up suit, and immediately led a group of teammates who were slightly unwell to the physiotherapy room.

There is a small therapy room off the side of the locker room.

There are three physiotherapy beds inside, on which players can receive pre-match massages from masseuses and some bandages to fix their ankles.

Lucky stood in front of the locker room, and he and the event staff made the final confirmation.

"Our match list will be reported later, yes! The starting lineup has not been confirmed yet."

"Okay, we have prepared the team flag!"

After the final confirmation with the staff, Le Kai returned to his place to change the warm-up clothes.

At this time, the outside world began to gradually become lively.

Waves of cheers also poured into the locker room through the wall, which is a signal for fans to enter.

It was at this moment that the tension gradually spread.

Lucky put on Arsenal's warm-up suit, turned around and shouted: "Everyone, move faster, it's time for us to warm up!"

Hearing Le Kai's call, the players speeded up.

Soon, they got all dressed and followed Lucy out of the locker room.

When passing through the player tunnel, the cheers of 100,000 Barcelona fans on the scene were enough to make some rookies soften their feet.

After all, it was the roar of 100,000 people, and any rookie who came to Barcelona for the first time would be frightened by this battle.

Even some young Barcelona players have had the problem of being frightened by the cheers of the fans at their home court and their feet are weak.

But this time the Arsenal players are all experienced players, and they were not intimidated by this atmosphere.

The warm-up is in charge of Arteta.

This guy jumped up and down and started to lead the players to fully warm up and stretch their bodies.

During the whole process, the Arsenal players were constantly adjusting their state.

The lights are a bit dazzling, but the air is still stuffy.

Especially in a stadium where 100,000 people gather, in this stadium without air conditioning, the whole is a big furnace.

Although there is not much activity, the body has begun to sweat.

"Be sure to pay attention to replenishing water. After returning, everyone must replenish enough water!"

Arteta took the trouble to inform that before the game, this guy will become extremely verbose.

But this is also for the good of Arsenal.

Barcelona on the other side is also warming up.

The Barcelona fans at the scene have begun to call Messi's name.

With waves of calls from 'Messi', there is a lot of pressure on Arsenal players.

After all, the name Messi itself represents the word 'powerful'.

Messi is still a classic gymnastics warm-up, running around the court alone.

But compared to the past, Messi's warm-up is more thorough and active.

It can be seen that he also has great pressure on this pizza.

Soon, the two sides completed the pre-match warm-up and returned to the locker room.

This is also the last adjustment before the game.

Back to the locker room, the first thing to do is to change the jersey for the game and replenish water at the same time.

At the same time, the coaches took out some bananas and handed them to the players who needed them.

After all, the last time I ate was at noon, and my stomach happened to be a little hungry at this time.

But before the competition, they cannot eat. Fruits like bananas are the best food for preparing for the battle.

Lucky also ate two bananas, and his appetite was slightly bigger.

After feeling a little settled in his stomach, Le Kai got up and was ready to go on stage.

With Lucy getting up, other Arsenal players followed suit.

Mourinho and other coaches also applauded loudly and clapped their hands, sending encouragement to the players.

Arsenal and Barcelona players came from around the corner almost at the same time.

Both sides are oncoming.

Le Kai and Messi's eyes collided in the air, and the eyes of both of them were cautious and dignified.

There is no communication between them.

After coming to the player channel, turn left and right, each came to their own station and began to stand quietly, waiting for the start of the game.
