Ferguson hasn't appeared in the eyes of the media and fans for a long time.

The last time he appeared at the FIFA Awards, but he was the Best Coach Award for Running. When he made his debut again, he sat in the main stands at the Lisbon Light Stadium as a special guest.

After the game, he will serve as an award presentation guest to present the best player of this final tonight.

But during the game, he was still appreciating this peak showdown more.

As the world's top coach in the past, especially after resigning from Manchester United, Ferguson's mentality became easier, and he saw more in this game, and he also had a deeper understanding of the arrangement of two world-class coaches, Ancelotti and Simeone.

To a certain extent, this final represents the most advanced technical and tactical trend in European football at present.

Both of them basically made no major mistakes. Simeone's problem was that Diego Simeone got out after only nine minutes of playing. This must have been an unfortunate accident, proving that Simeone lost the bet, but he can't blame him for this.

Diego Costa is so important to Atletico Madrid that it is so important that Simeone is willing to gamble for him.

Ancelotti is mature and experienced, and very smart and pragmatic. The entire formation is incredible, but there are some problems with the players' execution, especially Casillas's mistake in attack, which is really inappropriate.

This is a low-level mistake that should never appear on the Champions League final stage.

"Unclearly, Casillas is thirty-three years old." Ferguson suddenly thought of this question and felt quite sad.

Since retiring, his mentality has improved a lot, but he has been feeling more and more.

His wife told him that this is called old age.

"Yes, since his last fracture and injury, his condition has declined sharply. The thirty-three-year-old should have been the golden age of goalkeeper, but for a goalkeeper of his height, it is very deadly." UEFA President Platini was also very moved.

Casillas can be said to be a goalkeeper representing the history of the Champions League. His debut won the Champions League championship for Real Madrid, followed by two championships in three years, and then witnessed the decline of the Galaxy battleship. After the trough, he experienced a new round of peak starting in 2009. In the past ten years, no goal in European football will be more representative than him.

In terms of strength, Buffon is definitely the world's best, but when it comes to honor, the Italian goalkeeper is even slightly inferior, especially in the Champions League and European Cup.

But this goalkeeper who represents an era finally showed signs of fatigue.

"The goal is so big, the tall goalkeeper has long hands and feet and a large control range, but the reaction speed and physical flexibility, especially the explosive power of both legs, is inevitably weak. The short goalkeeper has short hands and feet and a small control range, but it can be compensated by the advantages of reaction speed and physical flexibility, especially the explosive power of both legs."

If you watch the training of the short goalkeeper carefully, you will definitely find that their explosive strength training on their legs is something that must be carried out in every training class, because they rely on this to make a living.

"The ball in the first half was indeed a mistake that should not have happened, but if it were the young Casillas, he would definitely be able to get it out, but his consciousness was obvious just now, but his body could not keep up." Platini was also quite regretful.

This mistake will make Casillas' situation at Real Madrid even more embarrassing.

But this is professional football, cold and ruthless.

As they get older, their reaction speed, physical flexibility, and especially the explosive power of their legs will continue to decline. This is very fatal for short goalkeepers, because they will gradually find that their bodies cannot keep up with their consciousness, but for tall goalkeepers, they do not rely on this to make a living, so they can maintain their peak period for longer.

For example, goalkeepers such as Buffon, Van der Sar, and Cech have always maintained their condition very well, but once the short goalkeeper reaches age, it is basically difficult for them to maintain their performance at their peak and decline rapidly.

...

In the stadium, Real Madrid's quick attack, David Silva tried to cut in after getting the ball on the right, but was directly tackled by Atletico Madrid players, giving Real Madrid a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt, but they didn't even get a card.

Real Madrid was very dissatisfied with this and put pressure on the referee, but they were not allowed.

This made Ferguson turn his head and look at Simeone in front of the coach's seat, and he feels funny in his heart.

"Fortunately, I don't coach now, so don't worry about touching him, otherwise I would probably be angry to death by him." Ferguson laughed gloatingly.

Football rules are there, and you can do anything on the court as long as the rules are not violated.

Simeone's team is on the verge of fouls. What's even more rare is that his team has a very good grasp of the foul standards. Everyone is very calm and rational, and there will be no such hot-headed fouls.

This proves that they are a group of well-trained "rogues".

There is a saying that gangsters should not be scary, they are afraid that gangsters are educated.

Simeone and his team are a group of educated "rogues".

Yang Yang personally took the free kick. He had just given it once. This time, he still had a tricky angle and had a good arc. He walked around the wall and took the upper left corner directly, but Courtois reacted very quickly and flew with one hand to save the ball.

This wonderful save won a lot of applause, and even Ferguson and Platini couldn't help but applaud him.

"This save is very powerful!" Ferguson sighed.

Platini also agreed very much. Yang Yang's free kick was very good and his level was very high, but he was saved by Courtois. "In the tall goalkeeper, his reaction was very fast."

Ferguson nodded, but couldn't help but think of Casillas in his mind.

The twenty-two-year-old Courtois reminds him of Casillas when he was 22. That year, in the Champions League knockout stage, Casillas helped Real Madrid defeat Ferguson's Manchester United at Old Trafford. At that time, the Real Madrid captain also performed bravely and often made some amazing saves.

But now, Casillas is already old, but the new generation of Courtois, De Gea and others have performed well.

The waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the past, this is the ruthlessness of time.

"I heard that Barcelona wants to buy him, while Real Madrid wants to buy De Gea." Platini smiled and tentatively.

Even the president of UEFA can sometimes be quite gossipy.

Ferguson laughed, "The biggest problem for Barcelona is that the division of offense is unclear, the defense is too thin, and the goalkeeper is only part of it. Even if Courtois goes, it will not make up for much. As for De Gea... he cannot go to Real Madrid!"

Platini was a little surprised when he heard Ferguson speak firmly, but he soon thought that De Gea was personally introduced to Manchester United, and even if he retired, Ferguson still had great advice at Manchester United.

It is hard to find the top goalkeeper in European football today. De Gea is the foundation of Manchester United's revival. Moreover, the Red Devils are not short of money at all. What they lack is excellent players. As long as they can negotiate a renewal of De Gea, everything is not a problem.

...

Ferguson and Platini chatted in the stands without saying a word, mainly because after the start of the second half, although the tactics of both teams were fine-tuned, Atletico Madrid retreated and Real Madrid pressed forward, and the scene was still stalemate.

This stalemate is a huge pressure and exhaustion for both sides of the game, but it is a bit dull for the bystanders, so that Ferguson and Platini are both killing time through conversations.

And everyone also knows that as time goes by, Real Madrid will be under increasing pressure.

But just when the game time jumped into 60 minutes, Real Madrid intercepted the ball near the center line. David Silva tried to drive the ball forward again, but found that Yang Yang suddenly appeared on the left and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

The Spanish midfielder passed the ball without thinking, and Yang Yang turned his back to the attacking direction. After stopping the ball on the left, he turned around and cut in, and immediately started to accelerate.

He stopped and turned around, and the whole movement was like flowing clouds and flowing water, very chic.

After turning around, Yang Yang immediately accelerated the start, first crossed Gabi who was defending him with his right foot, and then dunked the ball over Juan Fran with his left foot, making Atletico Madrid's right back blocked.

After passing two players in a row, Yang Yang suddenly accelerated and rushed directly towards Miranda.

Atletico Madrid central defender quickly stepped forward and wanted to block Yang Yang, but Yang Yang directly swayed continuously and threw Miranda away and cut inside.

At this moment, everyone was shocked because Yang Yang cut inside the left and shot the ball with his right foot, which was his specialty.

As a central defender with rich experience and outstanding strength, how can Miranda not understand?

The moment he was shook by Yang Yang, he chose to commit a foul almost without thinking, and directly reached Yang Yang's chest, grabbed his jersey, and pulled it hard.

Yang Yang lost his balance and fell sideways to the left of Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

Referee Kepps quickly ran over, whistle the foul, and showed a yellow card to Miranda.

This made Real Madrid players very dissatisfied, believing that it was condoning Atletico Madrid's malicious foul.

"Sir, he has just passed three people. Next we will be two-on-one. Whether it is a goal or an assist, we have advantages, but they chose to foul. Is this just a yellow card?" Suarez was very annoyed.

He is ready to run.

But such annoyance is useless. The referee signaled that he would enforce the law according to the rules, and it would be reasonable to give a yellow card.

There was a lot of booing in the stadium, and it was obvious that they were a little dissatisfied with the penalty this time.

Yang Yang didn't understand that Atletico Madrid had thoroughly understood the referee's law enforcement standards, so he adopted such a tactical approach.

The foul this time was 28 meters away from the goal, which was about the same position as David Silva had just happened.

"How is it? Is it okay?" Suarez walked over, grabbed Yang Yang's hand, and pulled him up.

"It's okay." Yang Yang patted the grass clippings on his body, but the white jersey was already stained.

He has fallen to the ground many times tonight.
