Chapter 1,184, Going to the Bernabeu
Today is May 27, the day the Champions League final kicks off. At 19:30 local time, the Champions League final will officially begin.
Real Madrid held a press conference yesterday afternoon. At the press conference, Mourinho was full of confidence and issued a final declaration.
"We have the best players, the best fans, and the best stadium here! The final winner of this game must be Real Madrid! The Champions League trophy will definitely stay at the Bernabeu Stadium!"
Cristiano Ronaldo beside him is also ambitious: "In the 2015-2016 Champions League final, Manchester United took away our Champions League championship. If we win that game, we will become the first team in the history of the Champions League to win three consecutive championships. team. But in the end we lost. I don’t want to say more about that defeat. We finally waited until today, and now it’s our turn. Tomorrow we will definitely win against Manchester United and shatter their dream of three consecutive Champions League titles!”
Real Madrid players were very confident at the press conference and interviewed outside the stadium.
Ramos: "We must use the most ferocious defense to stop Manchester United's attack and make them collapse at the Bernabeu!"
Hazard: "We have the home field advantage today, and our teammates are in great shape. We are bound to win this game!"
Ibrahimovic: "I suggest you reporters write articles about Real Madrid winning the championship in advance, so that you can save a lot of things. After all, the result of the game is obvious."
Compared to Real Madrid's strength, Kim Tiger did not show any weakness.
At the press conference held the next day, Kim Tiger took Griezmann to the meeting.
Jin Taige stretched out the seven fingers of both hands and made two forward and backward gestures.
"We came here with two seven-time crowns. Our goal is not to win three consecutive Champions League titles, but to win a third seven-time crown! Manchester United will defeat all opponents who stand in front of us. Win it all!"
Griezmann also looked confident: "I won the Ballon d'Or last year, which ended the ten years of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. They are great players, and teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern are also great. The team, but now is different, now is the red era that belongs to Manchester United! We will take the three consecutive Champions League wins as an opportunity to continue to win the third seven-time crown and make Manchester United a red legend in this era!"
This time, Kim Tiger rarely issued a gag order. He made an exception and allowed the players to be interviewed by reporters.
In this way, the Manchester United players completely let go.
The last training session at the Bernabeu this afternoon. After walking out of the stadium, the players were surrounded by reporters, and the Manchester United players also expressed their expectations for the Champions League final.
The young Mbappe was very restrained: "This is my first time participating in the Champions League final. I am very excited. I hope today can leave me with the best memory."
Salah seemed very confident: "We will definitely defeat Real Madrid with our excellent offense in this game!"
Lewandowski was very calm: "Real Madrid is a very strong team and their defenders are very good, but we are confident that we can break through their goal and win the final game!"
Carrick, who is about to retire, seemed very calm: "I believe the team can win. This is the last game of my career. I hope to bid farewell to Manchester United with a championship and victory."
De Bruyne shyly said only one thing: "We will definitely win this game! We will!"
Alonso waved his fist, startling the reporter in front of him: "Guys, after this game you will know who is the best left back in the world!"
Maguire, Van Dijk, Koulibaly and other tall players walked out of the stadium with fierce looks. For a long time, no one dared to interview reporters...
After lunch,
Kim Tiger asked the players to take a good rest. After waking up in the afternoon, I did some basic stretching in the gym, and saw that the game was approaching.
Ferland was responsible for the team's internal management, and Adolf was responsible for the team's medical management. The two checked the corresponding material reserves again to confirm that they were correct.
There were less than two hours left until the game.
Jin Taige waved his hand: "Guys, let's go!"
The Manchester United soldiers took the bus and headed to the Bernabeu Stadium.
The hotel is very close to the Bernabeu Stadium, about fifteen minutes away. But it actually took half an hour of walking to get to the outside of the stadium.
Feilan said with some fear: "Tiger, fortunately you left half an hour early, otherwise we might not have time to warm up. I didn't expect this road to be so congested."
Jin Taige looked at the crowd outside the window: "They all come to the Bernabeu to watch football. I have inquired with the hotel front desk before. There is a heavy traffic jam here on match days, so I asked everyone to go ahead of time. Come here early to prepare. Well, it saves you the trouble of staying in a hotel."
Jin Taige is right. It can be seen from the players having lunch that everyone is already a little nervous.
In fact, this is normal. Although the players are experienced in many battles, facing such a heavyweight game, the players will inevitably have mood swings.
When the Manchester United players stepped off the bus, the Manchester United fans on both sides cheered loudly and the sound was deafening.
Scholes looked around: "There are so many Manchester United fans here today."
Everyone feels this way too. Normally, thousands of fans attend away games, but looking at the current situation, it's completely different. There are quite a lot of fans in this large area.
At this time, Manchester United fans lined up on both sides in an orderly manner. They cheered loudly, but no one asked for autographs or photos. Because they know that the Manchester United players are now occupied with the finals and must not disturb them. Letting them get in and warm up as soon as possible is the right answer.
The Manchester United players did not stay too long, just waved politely to the fans and then quickly entered.
Jintiger asked Scholes and Phelan to walk in the front. He pressed the formation from behind. Seeing that the players all walked into the tunnel safely, Jintiger felt at ease. Just as he was about to follow, he suddenly heard something behind him. someone shouted.
"Tiger! Tiger!"
The sound was so loud that it caused Jin Taige to look back.
I saw a few people standing at the front of the crowd. He was so anxious to move forward that he didn't pay attention.
The person calling him was Fatty Rodney, and standing next to him was Cook. It seemed that the brothers of the "King of Demons" were here.
Jin Taige waved to everyone, expressed his gratitude, and was about to leave.
But he suddenly saw a person standing next to Cook, which made him stunned for a moment.
Then, Jin Taige did not follow the players into the stadium, but walked in the direction of Cook...
