Chapter 1494 From the Great Way to the Simple
From the last round of La Liga to the Champions League final, there is a total of one week of rest.
In the past nine seasons, Real Madrid has entered the Champions League final eight times and has successfully won the championship. In terms of preparing for the Champions League final, they have an experience advantage that no one else can match. They clearly know when to do what.
After playing the last round of La Liga and receiving the La Liga championship, Real Madrid trained in Madrid for two days. The team quickly organized a trip. It was still the players and their families who went to the Canary Islands for vacation.
The team stayed in the Canary Islands for three days, and all expenses were borne by the club. The players only had one training session every day to maintain their state, and the rest of the time was basically spent playing and relaxing.
Three days later, the team returned to Madrid from the Canary Islands.
On May 24, after two training sessions in Valdebebas, the team took a flight to Kiev, Ukraine in the evening, accompanied by all members of the team's first team.
This is also a consistent tradition of Real Madrid. Although there are only 18 players in the game lineup, all first-team players will arrive at the scene.
...
In Kiev, Real Madrid chose the five-star Central Opera Hotel.
This hotel is located on the east bank of the Dnieper River, in the center of Kiev, very close to the National Opera House and St. Sophia Church, and less than three kilometers to the Olympic Stadium, the venue of the competition. It only takes ten minutes by car.
The hotel facilities are very complete, including spa, gym, solarium, sauna and massage.
As in the past, Real Madrid directly booked the entire hotel, which is specially used for first-team players, coaching staff, staff and board management, as well as players' families and invited guests, including the Spanish royal family and government officials.
This is a rare historic moment to witness Real Madrid's five consecutive Champions League championships. Not to mention Spain, even European football, almost all political and business celebrities are flocking to it. Everyone wants to witness the birth of this historic event. .
Of course, Liverpool also released harsh words early, they will not let Real Madrid get what they want.
...
The team arrived in Kiev at night and was warmly welcomed by the fans.
The enthusiastic fans cheered and screamed wildly as the Real Madrid players stepped off the Emirates plane.
The most conspicuous thing at the scene was a piece of cardboard portrait of Yang Yang, which was custom-made one-to-one, wearing a white Real Madrid jersey, which was particularly dazzling in the night, especially under the flashing lights of the media and fans, there were thousands of Many fans were chanting Yang Yang's name, and it was unclear whether it was a Real Madrid fan, a local Kiev fan, or a special trip from other parts of the world to watch the Champions League final.
A reporter from Marca took pictures of the spectacular scene of welcoming Real Madrid and said it was just an appetizer.
Sure enough, when the team arrived at the hotel, thousands of fans gathered outside the hotel gate.
This time Yang Yang could see clearly that some of them were Spanish fans, some were from Germany, some were from the Netherlands, some were from the UK, and a small number of them were from China, because they called Yang Yang in Chinese, which was very kind.
Yang Yang also walked over specially, shook hands with this group of compatriots from the motherland, and thanked them for coming to the scene to cheer for him.
"We waited here five hours in advance to grab this spot." The fan, who didn't know his name, smiled at Yang Yang contentedly, as if to her, being able to shake hands with Yang Yang and meet each other, don't Said to wait for five hours, even if she waited for ten hours, she would feel happy.
Yang Yang was also very moved. He hugged this lovely fan again and asked them with concern if they had found a hotel to stay in. After getting a positive answer, Yang Yang felt relieved.
"I will work harder, and I will definitely not let you make this trip in vain!" Yang Yang promised confidently.
And when the surrounding fans got the translation from the surrounding population, they were all in an uproar.
Everyone was calling Yang Yang's name, and even many Real Madrid fans were calling for him to stay.
The Kiev city government also paid great attention to Real Madrid, and arranged nearly 300 policemen to maintain order on the scene, which prevented chaos on the scene, and Yang Yang had no choice but to enter the hotel under repeated reminders from the hotel staff.

The evening of the 24th was crazy, but the schedule of the 25th was extremely tight.
Before every Champions League final, there will be a set of rigorous procedures.
For example, when to go to the scene to familiarize yourself with the field for training, when to accept interviews with media reporters, when to allow fans to come to the scene, etc., UEFA has strict regulations for all of these.
According to the pre-match negotiation and arrangement, Real Madrid's training on the familiar field is after Liverpool.
Since it was an open training session facing the media and fans, Real Madrid did not conduct much targeted training.
Those that really need targeted training have been completed in the past week.
In this training session in Kiev, Real Madrid just need to adjust their status and rehearse the routine items at the same time.
One of the more purposeful arrangements is that Real Madrid did not conduct penalty kick training, but they did conduct offensive and defensive training for set kicks.
This is a signal sent out by Real Madrid before the game, that is, the team does not intend to drag the game into a penalty shootout, but to end the battle in the regular game, or within 120 minutes.
Set-piece defense has always been Real Madrid's weakness, but this time Yang Yang and Zidane specially arranged set-piece offense and defense, also wanting to give Klopp a signal that Real Madrid will work hard to make up for their own loopholes.
...
After Liverpool's training, coach Klopp participated in the pre-match press conference, accepted interviews with media reporters from all over the world, and answered many questions, including some sensitive topics.
Klopp is satisfied with the current performance of his team, and believes that Liverpool's ability to reach the Champions League final is already a very big achievement in itself, and no matter whether they can win the championship in the end, it will not affect the greatness of this team.
The German coach also praised the team's number one star Salah, "He is very, very good and has a very good attitude towards the game. Many people think that he is very similar to Yang Yang back then, but in my team, I think he is better than Yang Yang."
After praising his number one star, Klopp quickly changed the subject and praised Real Madrid's number one star.
The Germans believe that Real Madrid is full of superstars, but Yang Yang is undoubtedly the most dazzling and threatening player among them.
"We all know very well that being able to freeze Yang Yang will be the key to Liverpool winning the Champions League."
"Only when Yang Yang gets the ball can he create threats and score goals, and we all know that when he gets the ball, it is difficult for us to stop him, so we must try to avoid this kind of thing from happening."
"We are about to face one of the best teams in the world with the most experience in the Champions League. This is the last game of the season. Anything can happen. We need to be ready for everything."
Not only that, Klopp also mentioned Yang Yang's contribution to Liverpool, "Even now, Liverpool and the Allianz Stadium still remember that during my stay in Liverpool, the media and fans kept telling me, Buy Yang Yang back."
Klopp spread his hands, "I want to too, but unfortunately, there is nothing we can do."
The Germans believe that if Real Madrid lets go of Yang Yang, it will definitely become the biggest decision-making mistake of Real Madrid management.
"I agree that Yang Yang is no longer at his peak, but he is still the most threatening player in the world. He is still a superstar beyond the first rank. This is undeniable."
"Many people think that Yang Yang can't play the kind of football he played at his peak, and now he can simply score goals."
"Yes, it's simple."
"Just like what Lineker said, it's not good to do a difficult movement that is difficult, but it's really good to do a difficult movement that makes people think it's easy, and Yang Yang is now It belongs to that kind, even the most difficult movements, he can easily and easily complete them at his feet."
"Some people say that Yang Yang's goals and performance benefited from the support of the Real Madrid team. Without him, anyone standing in that position can achieve such achievements. I think this is a manifestation of ignorance."
"Yang Yang has scored 50 goals and contributed 15 assists in La Liga this season. He contributed more than half of the team's goals, and then some people turn a blind eye and think others are more important? This is definitely against the football game ignorance!"
"Without Yang Yang, Real Madrid will definitely lose one level, or even more than one level!" Klopp said confidently.
"How important some players are, you can't understand them when you have them. Only when you lose them, you will regret it!"
When asked by the media, if Yang Yang leaves Real Madrid, would Liverpool be willing to invite him back, Klopp said almost without hesitation, "I am willing to go to Madrid to invite him back in person!"
This statement made the media on the scene very excited.
Whether it was a psychological battle before the game or from the heart, Klopp's words undoubtedly revealed Liverpool's fear of Yang Yang, and after nearly ten years of absence, the Red Army fans are still full of love and nostalgia for Yang Yang.
Although Liverpool reached the Champions League final again this season, all Red Army fans still miss the invincible Liverpool back then.
...
After Klopp, Zidane was also interviewed by the media. He did not counterattack Klopp's remarks about recruiting Yang Yang, but said that Yang Yang was ready.
"He was born for these important games. I can tell you with certainty that his condition has reached 200 percent. This is our last game of the season. He will still be the best player in the game. A decisive player."
Regardless of whether Yang Yang will leave the team after the end of the season, or whether he will continue to stay in Real Madrid, Zidane has played Tai Chi and avoided talking about it.
I'm really sorry, I made a mistake when I set the timer, woo woo woo... I'm sorry everyone!
