Chapter 111 2013-2014 Champions League Final

"Beep~"

When the full-time whistle sounded, the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium were in a low mood, as if they had lost the game.

The Real Madrid players on the field were all the same and felt depressed.

The scoreboard shows the score is 3:1.

The home team goes first and the away team goes last.

Logically speaking, getting a victory to bid farewell to the entire 2013-2014 season is a very happy ending, but considering that in another game played at the same time, Barcelona drew 1:1 at home with Atletico Madrid, which means that they scored one point away from home. Atletico Madrid remains at the top of the league with 90 points.

Real Madrid, which scored three points in victory, was at a disadvantage due to the mutual winning-loss relationship with Atletico Madrid, so it had to settle for second place.

Of course, there are some Real Madrid fans holding on to hope at the Santiago Bernabeu.

What if... Barcelona beats Atletico Madrid?

However, there was no change in the score until the end of the game at Camp Nou. The two sides tied at 1:1, each with one point.

The Atletico Madrid players at Camp Nou were crying with joy. Many of their players had never received attention from wealthy teams before this season. However, as Atletico Madrid ranked first in the league this season and advanced to the Champions League finals, the worth of these players, The popularity has increased to varying degrees.

Now that they have won the league championship, their exposure and income will definitely increase qualitatively.

Professional players themselves are fed by youth. In their limited career, they have won a highly valuable league championship, and also entered the Champions League finals. They are surrounded by glory and have a successful career. Why not do it?

The Real Madrid players at the Bernabeu Stadium were slightly depressed after learning the news of Atletico Madrid's draw, but their moods eased as time went by.

As a Real Madrid player, how many of them have not won top honors?

Don’t you have the ability to accept this?

Losing the league title has become a fact, and then there is the Champions League final.

Compared to the La Liga title, the Champions League title is obviously more important.

Tang Zheng has won the Bundesliga championship, the German Cup championship, the German Super Cup championship, the Europa League championship, the Champions League championship, the European Super Cup championship and the Spanish Copa del Rey championship. He only missed the La Liga championship.

But then again, the contract period between the two parties is still very long. This season is the first season to join Real Madrid. At the beginning of the season, the team lost too many points due to a disagreement with Cristiano Ronaldo.

I believe that the entire team will perform better in the next long season, and the league championship is certainly not a problem.

Besides winning the Copa del Rey this season, there will be a more valuable Champions League title next.

Since we haven’t won the league title, let’s work hard for our second Champions League title!

Tang Zheng felt much better after clearing his thoughts. Then he shook hands with Cristiano Ronaldo and walked towards the main stand in unison.

The 2013-2014 French Women's First Division season has ended. Tang Zheng's girlfriend Zhao Lina and Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend Irina were talking in front of the first-floor stands.

They were chatting happily when they saw Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo approaching. They ended the conversation tacitly, opened their arms, and hugged their boyfriends respectively.

Real Madrid fans were very excited when they saw Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo slowly approaching, but they knew that at this time they should leave their time to Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have made great contributions to Real Madrid this season.

The on-site directing was very good, and the close-up shots were just right on Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina, Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina, who were in love with each other.

Countless single fans sitting in front of the TV rolled their eyes helplessly when they saw this scene. Seeing that Real Madrid missed the league championship, it was a miscalculation. T·M·D still wants to eat dog food?

※※※

Real Madrid regretted missing out on the league championship and no longer attracted attention. Atletico Madrid, which won the league championship, became the coach of major media attention.

Because Atletico Madrid won the championship after 18 years, it broke the nine-year rotation between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Barcelona won the championship six times and Real Madrid three times.

The last time Real Madrid and Barcelona monopolized the league title dates back to the 2003-2004 season, when Valencia, coached by Benitez, won two league titles in three seasons.

Simeone and his team enjoyed the joy of winning the league title at the Camp Nou, and the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands and in front of the TV were undoubtedly happy.

The last time Atletico Madrid won the league championship was eighteen years ago. In the 1995-1996 season, the current head coach Simeone still represented Atletico Madrid as a player. In that season, Atletico Madrid finally won the King of Kings with Simeone's amazing performance. cup champion.

Eighteen years is enough for an infant to grow into the pillar of a family.

Many older generation Atletico Madrid fans cried with joy. This championship... they had waited for too long.

The Atletico Madrid fans at the scene watched captain Gabi holding up the symbolic league championship trophy. They are no longer limited to the current league championship.

A week later, there is another Champions League final!

Since the league can beat Real Madrid to win the league championship, why can't it beat Real Madrid to win the Champions League title again in the Champions League?

At the regular press conference after winning the championship, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone and captain Gabi were very domineering when interviewed by the media, as passionate and aggressive as their playing style.

Simeone spoke bluntly and with a sharp tone: "The teams that enter the finals never aim for the runner-up. You heard me right! Champion! We want the Champions League championship!"

The next day, most of the focus of European mainstream media centered on the new La Liga championship.

It can be said that Atletico Madrid won the league championship as expected. Their performance throughout the season was very stable, but there was a slight gap in the penultimate round and the penultimate round, and they suffered two consecutive league defeats.

Fortunately, Real Madrid and Barcelona also made mistakes, which means that Atletico Madrid has abruptly adjusted the easy mode of winning the championship to the difficult mode.

But the biggest highlight is that Atletico Madrid regained the league title after 18 years, and also monopolized Real Madrid and Barcelona's dominance of La Liga for nine years.

From the perspective of La Liga's influence, this is a good thing.

Compared with Real Madrid and Barcelona taking turns taking the throne, having a team stand up and compete for the championship can increase the enjoyment of the league, so Atletico Madrid's victory can increase the attention of La Liga.

Otherwise, many fans will subconsciously choose Real Madrid or Barcelona when watching La Liga. Now with Atletico Madrid, coupled with the old powerhouses Valencia and Athletic Bilbao, the viewing experience of La Liga will be greatly increased.

Closer to home, Atletico Madrid, which won the league championship, did not take the team open-top bus to the City Hall or the Plaza de la Harvest to celebrate the league championship like the champion teams that usually win the league championship. Instead, they prepared for the Champions League at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon a few days later. finals.

The same is true for Real Madrid, another participating team. They are preparing for the Champions League final in an orderly manner at their Valdebebas training base.

Assistant coach Zidane is responsible for the team's regular tactical drills and competitions, while Ancelotti and Clemente are responsible for tactical layout and research on Atletico Madrid's tactical flaws.

This is not the first time Tang Zheng has participated in the Champions League final.

The same is true for most Real Madrid players. Last season's Champions League final at the new Wembley Stadium was reversed 3:2 by Dortmund, led by Tang Zheng.

But there are also Isco, Carvajal, Casemiro and Illarramendi who joined Real Madrid last summer and have no final experience, so the Champions League final is relatively nervous for these players.

Of course, it’s more about expectations.

When it comes to tension and anticipation, Atletico Madrid players are even worse.

Except for David Villa, who won the Champions League when he represented Barcelona, ​​many players, including head coach Simeone, have no experience in the Champions League finals.

Therefore, during preparations for the Champions League final, Simeone had to adjust his mentality while studying Real Madrid. However, he has a flexible mind and many methods. He knows that David Villa has participated in the Champions League final and won the championship.

Therefore, Simeone will invite David Villa as a part-time psychological counselor after the tactical class to help the players relax their nervous and excited mood.

Nervousness is useless in key games, and excitement is good for key games, but it also has many disadvantages, so it is very good to have an experienced veteran on the team before the Champions League final.

An old house where a treasure.

The Real Madrid stars at the Valdebebas training base prepared for the Champions League final as usual, and this situation lasted until two days before the final.

The entire Real Madrid team took a flight from Madrid to Lisbon, more than 500 kilometers away, in the morning to prepare for the Champions League final at the Stadium of Light two days later.

Atletico Madrid, another team flying to Lisbon, apparently deliberately staggered their schedule with Real Madrid. They took another flight to Lisbon that afternoon.

As the two teams arrived in Lisbon respectively, the 2013-2014 Champions League final became closer and closer in a full sense.

As one of the largest overseas customers of the Champions League, CC5 receives high standards of treatment, and the corresponding interview team and live broadcast team are also very high, even more than the four major domestic online TV platforms combined. .

Of course, this is directly related to CC5 TV buying out the live broadcast rights of the Champions League in mainland China.

Lisbon is a city with a long history. During the Age of Discovery in the 16th century, it had become one of the most prosperous ports in Europe at that time.

Time flies, and Lisbon is still the capital of Portugal, in its prime, and the center of Portuguese football.

It is a pity that the Portuguese Super League has been unable to become the top European league due to various factors such as territorial restrictions, but this does not prevent the Stadium of Light from becoming the venue for the Champions League final.

Tickets for the Stadium of Light, which can accommodate 64,000 fans, have long been sold out, so as the game time gets closer and closer, tickets without real-name tickets are sold at sky-high prices, and they are priceless.

The Real Madrid team arrived in Lisbon, and the player who received the most attention was naturally Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of the Portuguese international team, followed by Pepe and Coentrao.

Especially Cristiano Ronaldo. In the European play-offs of last year's World Cup, it was precisely because of Cristiano Ronaldo that he scored four goals in two rounds to help Portugal defeat Sweden and advance to the World Cup main game.

In the hearts of the Portuguese, Cristiano Ronaldo is a national hero.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and die-hard Benfica fans dismissed Cristiano Ronaldo and even booed him.

That afternoon, Ancelotti did not take the team to train at a venue provided by UEFA. Instead, he gave the players a half-day off so that they could spend time with their families or girlfriends and wives and relax before the game.

Tang Zheng, nicknamed the national boyfriend by Chinese fans, lived up to the title. He and his girlfriend Zhao Lina accompanied Tang's father and mother to enjoy rare family happiness in Lisbon, a city with a long history.

After playing in the Champions League final, Tang Zheng didn't have any time to rest. He had to return to China quickly to meet up with the national team and prepare for the World Cup in Brazil next month. This means that this afternoon is likely to be Tang Zheng's first time before the end of the World Cup in Brazil. The most leisurely afternoon.

As a celebrity, although Tang Zheng himself wore sunglasses, his girlfriend and parents around him did not make any modifications, so it was inevitable that he would be recognized by some reporters and fans.

For Tang Zheng, this was an expected result.

Lisbon is so big, there are so many fans, and there are so many reporters with a keen sense of smell, it is very difficult to not be noticed.

Happy time is often short-lived. One afternoon passed in a blink of an eye. Tang Zheng sent his girlfriend and parents to a five-star hotel in the center of Lisbon and then took a taxi back to the hotel where he was staying in Real Madrid.

The time schedule the day before the game is quite tight. According to UEFA arrangements, Real Madrid adapts to the venue in the morning and Atletico Madrid adapts to the venue in the afternoon.

As time goes by, the football-mad atmosphere in the city of Lisbon becomes more and more frenetic.

On the day of the match, which was May 24th, local time in Europe, Lisbon’s fanatical football atmosphere reached its peak state in recent days.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 90,000 Spaniards rushed to Lisbon from Madrid alone, while the entire city of Lisbon has a registered population of only 580,000.

It is a pity that the tickets for the game are limited, and at least half of the Spaniards who have come from afar will not be able to watch the live broadcast.

But Europeans are world-famous for their love of football matches. Even if they don’t have tickets to enter the stadium, they can still watch the 2013-2014 Champions League final at the Stadium of Light in bars and squares on the streets of Lisbon.

Just like the usual focus battles, fans from both sides and neutral fans gathered at the Stadium of Light more than half a day before the start of the game.

Real Madrid fans wearing white jerseys and Atletico Madrid fans wearing red and white striped jerseys are clearly different from each other. The meeting of the two teams as rivals in the same city for the Champions League final has also brought some instability to Lisbon's security maintenance and has become a mainstream in Europe. Some off-field content reported by the media enriched the coverage material of the Champions League final.

Of course, what really attracted attention was the Champions League final at the Stadium of Light in the evening.

It is worth mentioning that compared to previous Champions League finals, the two sides in this game were more stable. They did not spend time fighting with each other and were wholeheartedly preparing for the Champions League final.

It is Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid who are focusing on preparing for the Champions League final, which also brings some confidence to football experts and fans.

The first city derby in the history of the Champions League final, it must be exciting!
