Six Hundred and Thirty-Seven Thank You for Coming to Real Madrid!
When traveling to Madrid, there is one place you must visit, and that is the Prado Art Golden Triangle.
When you come to Madrid and don’t walk around Paseo del Prado and feel the so-called artistic atmosphere, it’s like arriving in Beijing but not going to the Great Wall. You always feel a little incomplete, or you’re a little embarrassed to talk about it with others.
After all, it’s actually a matter of face!
Yang Cheng has lived in Madrid for almost a year. The climate here is very close to that of his home country, so he is very used to living there. It is much better than in England. It rarely rains throughout the year and most of the time it is sunny. The weather was good, so he walked around whenever he had free time. The art of Prado was no longer new to him.
There is a saying that is right, no matter how artistic something is, you will feel bored if you look at it every day!
But for Sienna, she was full of freshness about everything here. She even said that if she wanted to find inspiration, she would take Yang Cheng to the Prado Avenue.
Prado Avenue starts from the Harvest Goddess Square and passes through the Poseidon Square. Although it is known as the focus of the global art festival, in fact, it has now become the focus of the world's attention.
According to tradition, Real Madrid celebrates at the Plaza de la Harvest after winning the championship, while Atletico Madrid celebrates at the Poseidon Plaza after winning the championship. The two squares are only 500 meters apart, but they are symbols of the two rival teams.
Both squares are famous for their fountains and statues. The Plaza de la Harvest, also called Plaza Cibeles, is a magnificent fountain. In the middle is a statue of the Goddess of Harvest with two lions pulling a cart. It is also known as the most beautiful fountain in Madrid. .
To the south is Madrid's most famous art street, Prado Street, which houses the Prado Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Reina Sofia National Art Center Museum. They are three important museums in the world's art world. They include Van Gogh, Works by Picasso and many other art masters.
Because of art, it is fashionable!
Therefore, this is also the most famous fashion street in Madrid and even Spain. All the famous brands from all over the world can be found here. You can even see political and business celebrities on the street. Beckham, Victoria, Tang Nai Cruz and others can be found here. of regular customers.
Yang Cheng and Sienna walked all the way from the south of Prado Street to the north. They spent a whole day shopping and entered all three museums. Sienna also went to their store in Madrid to inspect the business. This store even It settled in Madrid several years before Yang Cheng, and it is one of the best-selling stores here, especially after Yang Cheng took charge of Real Madrid.
"a,
Are you just going to celebrate winning the championship here? "The two of them walked to the Harvest Goddess Square hand in hand, looking at the fountain and the statue from a distance. The afterglow of the setting sun elongated the shadow on the Harvest Goddess Statue, and the two-story fountain pool lit up patches of golden phosphorescence, which was beautiful. Extremely.
"If we beat Mallorca, yes!" Yang Cheng still refused to let go.
Before winning the championship, Yang Cheng would never say that he had already won!
He never wants his team to collapse at the last moment, so he never relaxes his vigilance in advance. This is the experience he has accumulated from many years of coaching.
Sienna glared at him angrily, feeling that this guy was extremely stubborn when it came to football.
"Do you know which team came to this square to celebrate winning the championship for the first time?" Yang Cheng asked.
Sienna shook her head, "How did I know? Isn't it Real Madrid?"
Yang Cheng laughed, shook his head and said: "It's Atletico Madrid!"
"Atletico Madrid?" That is Real Madrid's enemy. "Didn't you say that their celebration square is in Poseidon Square?"
"That was later. As the first team allowed to celebrate in the Plaza de la Harvest, they won the King's Cup that year. But after that, Real Madrid started the Five Eagles era and won five consecutive league titles in one go. crown, and then take over the Harvest Goddess Square as their own. From now on, Atletico Madrid can only go to Bō Seidon Square to celebrate."
Sienna couldn't believe it, and laughed and said: "No wonder Atletico Madrid fans hate Real Madrid so much!"
Even Hill said that as long as he can beat Real Madrid, it doesn't matter if he is relegated. This shows how deep the hatred is!
It is said that in order to help Barcelona win the championship this season, Atletico Madrid did not hesitate to lose to Barcelona. "But these are all rumors. Who knows if they are true or false?"
"I believe that at this moment in Barcelona, the Canaledas Fountain Square, which is known as Europe's oldest La Rambla street, the Barcelona city government is also planning the celebration ceremony after Barcelona won the championship." Yang Cheng said calmly.
His voice was very light, but in fact, to Sienna's ears, it was indescribably heavy.
Barcelona has not given up yet. Even though they were chased from being ahead by 10 points to now being 10 points behind, they still have not given up. It is even possible that the whole city is like Madrid now, still preparing for a big enemy. How to celebrate after winning the championship? Even the city government has to consider how to control traffic, how to welcome the team back from away games, etc.
The two cities and even football fans around the world are crazy about the upcoming game, and all the pressure falls on Yang Cheng, because now he is the leader!
"You will definitely win!" Sienna held his hand, as if to give him confidence.
Yang Cheng laughed, nodded and said, "Of course!"
Both of them laughed in unison, and their laughter attracted passers-by.
"You...are Mr. Yang Cheng?" A passerby nearby shouted in surprise when he noticed two men and women leaning on the sidewalk fence looking at the Harvest Goddess statue in the distance.
Yang Cheng turned around and saw a middle-aged Spanish man looking at him with excitement. He was secretly amused that he was recognized even though he was wearing big sunglasses, so he could only nod.
"Oh my God, it's you, you're amazing!" The Spanish player looked excited, "Are you here to see the scene in advance and think about how to celebrate?"
"Uh..." Yang Cheng wanted to say no, but the ball became even more excited.
"We heard that the city government has already made plans. When the time comes...,"
More and more passers-by stayed after hearing Yang Cheng's name, causing more and more passers-by to gather on the sidewalk. This spectacle not only attracted more and more passers-by, but also attracted traffic around the square, and even some Many drivers stuck their heads out and shouted Yang Cheng's name, almost causing an accident.
For a time, there was an endless stream of trumpets and shouts.
Yang Cheng shook his head helplessly at Sienna. The two of them quickly said goodbye to this group of enthusiastic fans before the police arrived, and ran away as fast as they could. There were even many fans chasing behind them.
After escaping the siege of the football club, the two went to eat at a Basque restaurant near the Bernabeu. This is known as the royal restaurant of Real Madrid. Raul, Beckham and others like to eat here. This can be seen from the restaurant You can tell from the photos posted that they include all of Real Madrid's first-team players.
This summer, during Real Madrid's Asian tour, Ander, the chef responsible for Real Madrid's catering, was the chef of this restaurant, which shows the close relationship between this restaurant and Real Madrid.
The reason why I brought Sienna here for dinner today is not only to take her to taste Basque food, but also to prepare for the dinner before Real Madrid’s last game. Just the day before the game, Yang Cheng will let everyone All the players came here for a dinner and final mobilization.
Although the whole world has announced that Real Madrid has won the championship, Yang Cheng still does not relax, because he knows that Mallorca is not a soft persimmon, and Real Madrid cannot win if they want to win, especially in the key battle, Real Madrid must be better than Be cautious at all times.
Yang Cheng never relaxed about this kind of preparation. He not only personally asked about the menu, but also had a round of communication with Andel. After all, they would have a long-term cooperation. After a week of preparation in 2007, when the day actually arrived, Yang Cheng was surprisingly calm.
The team went directly to the Mirasierra Hotel after having dinner at a Basque restaurant near the Bernabeu last night.
As usual, Real Madrid will stay in this hotel the night before a home game.
Yang Cheng was standing in the lobby of the hotel's floor dedicated to Real Madrid, looking at the drizzle outside. He looked calm, without any nervousness before the big game.
He made ten thousand preparations to defeat Mallorca. He has tried his best to help the team win this game. He firmly believes that the same is true for his players. If he still loses like this, then there is really nothing he can do. .
"You don't seem to be nervous at all!" Raul's voice came from behind.
Yang Cheng didn't look back. He was very familiar with his neighbor and smiled, "Yes, but I won't let others see him.
"Is this a required course for a head coach?" Raul walked to his desk and asked.
Yang Cheng nodded, "What? Are you interested in learning how to be a head coach?"
"have no idea!"
"Then don't think about it, you are still far away from retirement!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
He has informed the management that he hopes to sign a lifetime contract with Raul and Guti and keep them in the team until they retire, because in his opinion, maybe the existence of Raul and Guti has nothing to do with the team's tactics. The development is somewhat inconsistent, but Yang Cheng firmly believes that they can play a role in the team.
Moreover, Yang Cheng has talked with them. Although there is no guarantee of the main position, Raul and Guti are willing to stay in the team, even if they serve as substitutes in this young team, they are willing to do so because they both hope to be able to Be part of Real Madrid's resurgence.
"I was driving yesterday and passed the Harvest Goddess Square!" Raul looked ahead, as if recalling the scene when he passed the Harvest Goddess Square. "They placed a lot of flowers around the fountain pool, ready to be used by us. It’s used to celebrate after winning the championship, and even many players couldn’t help but celebrate in advance.”
Yang Cheng nodded and didn't say anything. He kept emphasizing before that he couldn't be careless.
"I haven't passed there for many years, Dazha, for... three years!" Raul thought very hard.
Since Real Madrid lost the league title in 2004, Raul has never been to the Plaza de la Harvest.
If you think about it carefully, this should be the first time that Raul, as captain, helped Real Madrid win a championship and led the team to the Harvest Goddess Square to celebrate.
You know, the Plaza de la Harvest has a long history. In order to protect it, the Madrid city government has always only allowed the captain to go up and tie a scarf on behalf of the team. Hierro did it before. This is the first time Raul has won the championship since he became captain. , for him, the meaning is naturally more different.
"In the past three years, I have been deliberately avoiding the Harvest Goddess Square. Even if I want to go nearby, I will choose the road. I don't even know why!" Raul shook his head and smiled bitterly, as if he was mocking himself.
The Plaza de la Harvest is a major traffic artery in Madrid. It is conceivable that a person who has lived in Madrid for so many years has deliberately avoided this square in the past three years, which shows how afraid he is of touching the scene.
Taking a deep breath, Raul smiled, "But I passed by there specifically yesterday, and I found that nothing has changed there. Everything is still the same. The traffic lights on the roundabout are still there, and the fountain is still so beautiful. , there are just some more flowers around the fountain pool..."
"To be honest..." Raul turned his head and met Yang Cheng's eyes, "You don't have to worry too much about us being careless, and you don't have to worry about our desire to win. You must know that we have been waiting for this game. , we have been waiting for a full year, we have endured for 3 years for this day, and we will not let the championship fly from our hands!"
Yang Cheng nodded, expressing his belief.
"Thank you for coming to Real Madrid, really!" Raul turned sideways and looked at Yang Cheng with emotion on his face.
The latter laughed and patted Raul on the shoulder. Without saying anything, the two looked forward side by side.
For Real Madrid, this championship is just the beginning!
It’s really hard to imagine such a grand occasion!
That is, when Real Madrid's bus arrived at the Bernabeu Stadium, there were hundreds of thousands of football fans gathered at the scene. A large number of them were not able to enter the stadium to watch the game and could only choose to greet the team outside the stadium. 's arrival
The street lights made the Santiago Bernabéu stadium look like a dream theater, and the grand scene of hundreds of thousands of football fans welcoming the team bus was like a show outside the Dream Theater, a show spontaneously triggered by the football fans. .
It is said that even the most ordinary and ordinary ticket at the Bernabeu has been sold for 1,200 euros, and the supply exceeds demand. This is simply a sky-high price.
On this night, the streets of Madrid will be empty!
But even so, the main streets in Madrid are still full of police on guard, because they have to be on guard anytime and anywhere to prevent this group of football fans from getting out of control.
According to surveys, tonight, the whole city of Madrid is paying attention to this game. If Real Madrid wins, at least one million Real Madrid fans will take to the streets. This is for Madrid, which has a total population of only 4.52 million. , is simply an incredible number, and don’t forget, what about those players who stayed at home to celebrate because of the crowd?
Of course, there is the worst possibility. If Real Madrid loses the championship in the end, will they lose their minds? Once so many balls get messed up, it will be a disaster!
In the Square of the Goddess of Harvest, before the game started, nearly 500,000 football fans had gathered here. They chose to watch the live broadcast on the large screen here, and then grabbed the most advantageous position here, preparing to wait for the team to win the championship. celebration.
In order to protect the Harvest Goddess Statue and the fountain pool in the middle of the square, the city government has already set up fences around it. Advertisements for Real Madrid's major sponsors are posted on the fences. Next to the fountain pool, there is a vehicle specially used for aerial work. The huge fire lift truck will be responsible for carrying Raul up to tie a Real Madrid scarf on the neck of the Harvest Goddess after Real Madrid's championship parade arrives here.
The surrounding police were on alert as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They separated the stadium and the fountain pool by a fence to prevent the team from entering. A row of scaffolding was set up in the separated area. Once Real Madrid If you win the championship, this place will be quickly turned into a stage. Real Madrid players will appear here holding the championship trophy and accept the worship of all Real Madrid players.
When this scene appeared on the big screen of the Bernabeu Stadium through the TV lens, all the Real Madrid fans in the audience immediately cheered. Coupled with the response of the Real Madrid fans outside the Bernabeu Stadium, the momentum was overwhelming for a while.
This momentum reached the climax of the first wave when the Real Madrid players walked into the stadium and warmed up. When they saw Yang Cheng following the team out of the tunnel, more than 10,000 Real Madrid players in the audience were all excited. They all shouted Yang Cheng's name.
Maybe, they booed him midway through the season, but this did not prevent them from completely changing their view of him, because this head coach led Real Madrid to a winning streak at the most critical moment. Currently, We are running, winning streak, and also running towards the league championship!
Tonight is also a day for all Real Madrid fans!
Spanish King Juro Carlos I came to the Bernabeu Stadium to watch the game in person, Spanish national treasure tennis star Nadal also came to the scene, the Chinese Ambassador to Spain, etc., as well as a series of other Spanish political and business celebrities from all walks of life gathered at the Bernabeu Stadium, and even There are countless high-class people fighting for their money just to get a ticket.
Of course, it is indispensable that in every game where Yang Cheng leads the team, the media must pay attention to the Princess Caesar they hyped up. This time they found that only Melissa and Terrio appeared in the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium. And she was still sitting with Zidane, talking about the game, which was somewhat disappointing.
However, when she and Zidane entered the stadium, tens of thousands of fans in the entire Bernabeu shouted "Princess", she smiled and waved to the fans, but it was the Spanish who accompanied Juan Carlos I to watch the game. Princess Letizia thought she was calling her, but fortunately Prince Felipe stopped her, otherwise it would have been a big mistake.
It was in this extremely enthusiastic and tense atmosphere, with the whole world paying attention, that the whistle officially blew for the last round of competition! ! .
