Located in the middle of the European part of Russia, Moscow, which straddles the banks of the Moscow River and its tributary, the Yauza River, is the capital of the Russian Federation and the capital of the Moscow State. It is also the political, economic, cultural, financial, transportation center and the largest comprehensive City.

Moscow, which has a temperate continental humid climate, has frequent and extreme weather.

The long melting period of ice and snow starting from December every year makes it very difficult for people from other regions to adapt to the climate here. The long winter and dark weather, as well as the weather at minus ten degrees all year round, are even more daunting.

But at the same time, the icy and snowy Russia has also bred strong and strong-willed people here.

And of course the fiery football here.

They have won 12 Soviet league championships in history, which is second only to the current Ukrainian Super League. Dynamo Kiev.And they also won 10 USSR Cup championship trophies.

It can be said that before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the entire Soviet Super League was a situation where Sparta Moscow and Dynamo Kiev took turns.

In 1991, they even reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. Although they lost unfortunately, as a team far away from the European continent, their ability to often face all opponents in the European war is a testament to their strength. affim.

From the next 92 years, Spartak Moscow also ushered in their peak.

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1992, the Russian Premier League began. Due to the withdrawal of the Kiev Dynamo team affiliated to Ukraine, in the eight seasons from the 1992-1993 season to the current 2000-2001 season, Spartak Moscow The team also achieved the domination of the Russian Super League, and also wrote its own legend and history with an unprecedented eight consecutive championships.

In the history of their foreign campaigns, although they have repeatedly performed as dark horses, in addition to reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League in 1991, they only entered the European Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Cup in 1993 and 1998 respectively. semifinals.

Under such circumstances, they, who achieved eight consecutive championships last season, naturally turned their attention and focus to the more important European battlefield.

They were like giant bears hiding in the woods in a snowy day, quietly waiting for their opponents.

"This ghost weather!"

Due to league reasons, the Leverkusen players who arrived in Moscow just one day before the game in advance cursed inwardly after getting off the plane.

It was only September at this time, but unlike Germany, the average temperature of [-] degrees here made the team members temporarily unbearable.

Facing the upcoming game, everyone wants to go all out to meet the first Champions League game of the season in the best condition.

The temperature difference between day and night in Moscow is large. Once you have a cold, you can almost only sit on the bench in such weather.

Fortunately, the staff of the club had already prepared and brought standard coats and jackets for the players.

The players who put on their jackets felt better. Even the physically strong Kovac brothers did not dare to joke about their state. Only by doing a good job of keeping warm can they maintain a good competitive state during the game.

Under the leadership of the staff, the players entered the hotel directly, and did not familiarize themselves with the competition venue in advance.

After repeated consideration by the staff and Worrell, it was decided that the team members who first arrived in Moscow should take a rest to adapt to the weather here.

Facing the next day's game, everyone is full of ambition. They are eager to release the depression in their hearts with a victory. The current situation can be said to be full of wind and rain. Although there is no movement in the media, ordinary people I didn't hear any wind, but as the Leverkusen players in the whirlpool, they all smelled an ominous smell.

The same goes for Kenny.

Kenny's mood at this time is no less than when he came off the bench in the European Cup. This is his first Champions League game. Here, he will once again walk on the European stage. He wants to let the world know that he is still here.

September 9th is sure to be a special day.

“Welcome to Moscow!!!”

With the passionate roar of the Sparta team's home commentator on the scene, the Leverkusen players walked into this very famous stadium in Eastern Europe, which is now the home of Sparta Moscow, Luzhniki stadium!

Of course you can also call it the Lenin Stadium.

"Ula!!!!!!!!!"

Driven by the home commentator, the roar of mountains and tsunami came from all directions for a moment, which not only made the Leverkusen players feel a little uneasy, but even Kenny, who was born in AC Milan, jumped out of the corner of his eye.

Due to the limitations of geographical location and the popularity of the league, his understanding of Sparta Moscow, which is far away from the European continent, is only on the news and hearsay.

The bad weather here is more famous than football here.

Entering the Luzhniki Stadium at this moment really shocked Kenny. Compared with Milan's San Siro, which can accommodate 8 people, the Luzhniki Stadium will not be inferior in the slightest, even worse.

Although it is only a group match of the UEFA Champions League, the atmosphere at the Luzhniki Stadium at this moment is no less than that of the European Cup final. The historic Luzhniki Stadium has been brought into the world of football.

Luzhniki, located in downtown Moscow, Russia, is the largest stadium in Russia with a total of 84745 seats.

But Kenny looked around, and the number of seats in the Luzhniki Stadium at this time should be no less than [-]!

The deafening cheers and cheers are almost suffocating. In such a huge stadium, the voices of as many as 10 people converge here. One can imagine the hustle and bustle here.

With the appearance of the Spartans Moscow players, every time the on-site commentator reads a name, it will cause the fans in the stands to cheer through the sky, and their figures almost make the earth tremble.

In contrast, the Leverkusen players are as fragile and helpless as a boat in the sea!

Perhaps at this moment, the balance of victory and defeat has tilted!
