Volume 5 Chapter 40 UEFA Cup Final

Lansdowne Road Stadium, one of the oldest stadiums in the world, has hosted rugby matches since the 19th century. It is located in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.

And here is also the venue for the 2010-11 UEFA Cup final, which can accommodate 50,000 spectators.

On May 18, 2011, both Atletico Madrid and Porto had arrived in Dublin one day earlier and completed the field adaptation training, just waiting for the battle tonight.

Porto obviously values ​​this UEFA Cup championship more than Atletico Madrid. Think about this group of players and their 33-year-old young coach, who are all at a vigorous age.

And they are preparing to complete the triple crown in Portugal, and no one can give up the opportunity to fly to the branch and become a phoenix.

Boas is relatively low-key, as can be seen from his refusal to compare with Mourinho.

The title of "little madman" is not very comfortable, and no one likes to live in the shadow of others, even if he is the most successful manager in Portugal.

"Atlético de Madrid have a strong squad and they are focusing on the domestic La Liga, but despite this, they have easily reached the final for the second year in a row, which shows how scary they are," said Boah. Si said in an interview with the Portuguese media before departure.

He also wanted to use this as a reminder to his team members who may have developed a sense of pride. After all, they led the second place in the domestic league by more than 20 points and won the domestic cup.

This UEFA Cup can be said to be their last game of this season. It is not a big god, but a small god is just around the corner. After all, no matter how weak the UEFA Cup is, it is still a European game.

"They have Mark, Aguero, and Sanchez in their team. Ancelotti is also a world-class coach. We must be humble and give 120% effort to fight for victory. Atletico Madrid is our team this season. The most powerful opponent I have ever encountered”

In Portugal, this final has been hotly fired, because it is usually not their turn to fire in the Champions League final.

Atletico Madrid left Spain relatively low-key. In the previous league game, they won again at home, but Barcelona was tied away by Getafe. Their point difference came to two points again.

But the Atletico Madrid team has no hope. How could Barcelona lose at home in the last round?

They put all their attention on this final. As for the league, just play supernormally. Anyway, if you dare to send Barcelona in the last round, I will dare to accept this championship.

"Porto is not an easy opponent, now they are full of technicality and play very beautifully," Ancelotti accepted an interview with "Sky Sports" after arriving in Dublin.

Speaking of which, Boas's style of play is quite similar to that of another academy player, Rogers. They both like to press in high positions and play offense. The 433 formation, walking on the ground, gives the frontcourt players a high degree of freedom.

When the player's ability is up to standard, it can indeed please the fans and win the victory. This is true of Porto now and the runner-up Liverpool under Rodgers in the previous life.

This is the success and failure of Xiao He, and their failure in the later stage was also due to the fact that this formation had too high requirements for players, and the level of their team building or selection was very average.

The reason why Klopp has a similar high-pressure style of play but can succeed everywhere is because Klopp's team building level is too good. Given him a cycle, he will definitely be able to buy suitable players.

"But this is the only championship we can compete for this season, we must fight for it with all our strength," Ancelotti continued, "If the boss invests hundreds of millions and gets nothing, then there must be something wrong with our work, and we must avoid this. "

The face of Chelsea boss Abramovich is vivid, and Ancelotti does not want to repeat the mistakes of last year. Although Nasser did not give him any hard targets this season except for the Champions League place, he also cares about the outside world. It is not that he has left AC Milan. He can't do it.

time is approaching,

Since Dublin is very close to England, a lot of English media came, Mark Qin also met many old acquaintances, even the editor-in-chief of "Echo" came.

In their words, the Premier League without Mark Qin seems to have lost its color all of a sudden. Although there are many wealthy stars, it lacks dominant players.

Now take this opportunity to come and interview him. After all, although Ma Keqin is in Spain, his news is reported in the newspapers in England almost every day, and the popularity is very high.

Now the whole of England is looking forward to him being able to take advantage of the trend to win the European Cup and complete the second round of national team honors.

To say that England's performance in the European Cup is even worse than the World Cup. It has participated in the 13th tournament and only entered the knockout rounds twice, failed to appear in the 7 qualifiers, and went home in the remaining 4 group matches.

Is this the history of a strong team? It's clearly a big team!

South Africa's victory made the England fans' spirits unprecedentedly high. Looking at the year of the big game, the longing will come naturally as scheduled.

"It's too far to talk about the European Cup now", Mark Qin said with a smile when he was interviewed by them at the hotel, "I understand the feelings of the fans, but what I need to do now is to win Porto, and then prepare for next season, the European Cup I believe Capello will handle the matter well."

"To be honest, now England fans only care about when you win the European Cup, haha," Claire laughed.

"Privately speaking, England's European Cup historical results are seriously inconsistent with our status. This is not only the expectations of the fans, but even the Queen and the Prime Minister are very concerned."

"You are not in England this season, so you may not feel deeply. Since South Africa won the championship, football has become the pride of the whole people in England. The hot spot is the hot spot. Your team-mates from the national team are on TV in turn."

Ha, this Ma Keqin expected it. After all, it is the World Cup. I don’t know how many people have achieved, and professional players don’t have to struggle with money. Thinking about how much money the domestic gang made when they entered the World Cup, no one knows. What's more, England is winning the championship.

No matter what, Capello must earn more than Milu, not to mention himself, Jonathan is handling it.

"Our results in the qualifiers are good, and there should be no major problems in entering the main match." Ma Keqin couldn't get around it and could only chat briefly. They still have 4 qualifiers, and they will all end this year. It's time to watch the main game group.

To be honest, he has long forgotten what happened in the 2012 European Cup, and he has no time to care about it now.

After a brief rest in the hotel in the afternoon, around 5:00 in the evening, Atletico Madrid boarded the bus and set off directly to the stadium.

The game will officially start at 8 o'clock in the evening!

The stadium in Dublin has been open for fans to enter since the afternoon. In addition to the more than 10,000 tickets allocated to both sides, there are more neutral fan seats.

After all, this is the Europa League final with Mark Qin participating, and most of the neutral fans are here for him.

This may be the only UEFA Cup final that Mark Qin participated in in his entire career. In the eyes of many people, it is even more meaningful than the Champions League final.

Because this is very likely to allow Mark Qin to complete the real Grand Slam and win every championship.

Whether it is team honor or personal honor, very few people can achieve this. After all, the Golden Globe and World Cup champions have won a large number of people, and it seems that only Beckenbauer is counted.

Even Zidane is excluded because he has not won the UEFA Cup and the Copa del Rey, which is not a real Grand Slam.

The only national team honors that Ma Keqin lacks are the European Championships and the Confederations Cup. The English clubs lack the FA Cup, but the Spanish clubs lack more honors.

If he really got it all, he would really be called the modern version of the football emperor.

When countless fans were waiting in the stadium, Atletico Madrid's bus finally arrived late, and the crowd burst into violent cheers instantly.

Stars are more famous because they are more popular. There are far more fans welcoming Atletico Madrid than Porto. Although most of them are fans of the team wearing Atletico Madrid jerseys, there are also many neutral fans wearing everyday clothes.

"Mark Qin, the king of the ball", "Mark, I love you", "Atletico Madrid, the champion", "MKQ18 is here to report!"

Their origins can be roughly judged from the signs raised by various fans. Chinese fans, Mark Qin fans, fans of the team, and Liverpool fans also came.

"We miss Mark, you have to take good care of him", this is what Big Sam of MKQ18 said when he met Atletico Madrid fans outside the stadium. From the portrait of Mark Qin held up by the other party, they did not need any language communication, and immediately synthesized gang.

Whenever this happens, Ma Keqin feels happy. In fact, many happiness in life has nothing to do with material things.

It is a great happiness to have fans. Sometimes they even care about you and tolerate you more than your friends.

It's just because they simply like you without any impurities, so he is always patient with fans, and he never starts acting just because of how much money he makes.

Because he knows how to cherish and be grateful!

He couldn't get out of the car, so while the car was driving slowly, he seized the time to wave and interact with the fans outside, letting them know that he had seen them coming all the way, thank them for their support.

"Let's go through the wind and rain together...until the sun shines." Ma Keqin didn't know if they saw the news and knew that they had lost to Messi this year.

But when they sang this familiar song, Ma Keqin felt a tremor in his heart, and gradually more and more people sang this famous team anthem.

Yes, not only Liverpool, but also several teams use him as the team song, because it contains the spirit of sharing weal and woe.

It is the feeling of forging ahead hand in hand, they are expressing their attitude, when there is such a group of people standing behind you, apart from being satisfied, you are still satisfied.

This is my group, belongs to my group!

Atlético de Madrid's bus slowly entered the player's tunnel amidst the sudden singing, and disappeared from the sight of the crowd.

What I brought with me was full of pride!

The stadium is full of voices, and a season has come to an end like this. Both teams want to put a period on themselves, not a question mark or an exclamation point.

They are not familiar with each other, and they even talk about whether they can meet again in the future, but tonight, only one of them can go back with a smile.

When Mark Qin came out to warm up, more intense cheers broke out in the stadium, and even made people feel that who won the game in advance.

Even the players in Porto have to look sideways. Could it be that this is Atletico Madrid's home court? That's just because they don't know how many Englishmen and Chinese are here today.

"Friends from the audience, friends from the audience, this is the live broadcast of the 2011 Europa League final. I am your old friend Zhan Jun, and the match will start in half an hour..."

The domestic also pays special attention to this Europa League final because of Mark Qin's participation, and it is not even worse than the Champions League final.

Moreover, Danube Sports has already started warming up early. This summer, Ma Keqin will have a trip to China.

When he didn't want to go, his hands were empty, that didn't fit his style at all...
