Chapter 859 I'm Going to Stare at You Tonight!
On May 22, the Champions League final.
From the morning, the whole Madrid was immersed in the atmosphere of the finals.
Tonight's peak matchup is the last game of this season for Real Madrid, and it is also the most important battle. The media and fans all over the world are eagerly looking forward to see whether Real Madrid is better, or Inter Milan once again. Put on a magical play.
The Madrid city government also made preparations early. Traffic police were arranged at almost every intersection in the whole city, for fear that fans of the two teams would clash before the game, especially near the Bernabeu Stadium.
At noon, there are still eight or nine hours before the Champions League final, but fans of the two teams can be seen everywhere on the main urban road from the Plaza Mayor in the center of Madrid to the Bernabeu Stadium. If you pay attention, it is not difficult to find Real Madrid fans. It will be relatively more, after all, this is the basic market of Real Madrid.
But what's interesting is that tonight at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid will use the visiting team's dressing room.
Since Inter Milan's home jersey is blue and black, Real Madrid's jersey this time is still white at home.
On the road, there are obviously more Real Madrid fans wearing white jerseys than Inter Milan, and they are also more active and excited.
Real Madrid has reached the Champions League final three times recently, and without exception, they have all won the championship, beating Juventus, Valencia and Bayer Leverkusen respectively to win the championship. It can be seen that Real Madrid has more experience in dealing with the Champions League final.
The last time Inter reached the Champions League final dates back to the 1971-72 season, when Inter Milan lost 0-2 to Ajax at the Feyenoord Stadium in the Netherlands and lost the Champions League final, the Nerazzurri. The last two Champions League finals have also been lost, the other being to Celtic.
However, what is interesting is that although Real Madrid reached the Champions League final twelve times and won nine of them, one of the only three losses was to Inter Milan, which is the only time in the history of the two teams. meet in the Champions League final.
At that time, Inter Milan defeated Real Madrid 3-0, laying the foundation for the era of Great Inter Milan.
The historical grievances between the two teams have made the fans on both sides nervous, and the two teams represent two different styles.
Inter Milan is known for its tenacious defense, while Real Madrid has the sharpest offensive firepower in world football today. This battle between the spear and the shield has also filled the world's media and fans with expectations.
Everyone wants to see who will have the last laugh at the Bernabeu tonight.
This sentiment was also reflected in the tickets.
The Bernabeu Stadium can accommodate more than 80,000 fans, but as soon as the tickets went on sale, they were immediately snapped up by enthusiastic fans, and even one ticket was hard to come by. On the morning of the match, there was news outside that the scalpers of the finals Tickets have been fired for 2,000 euros, but no one is still willing to sell them.
Not only fans on both sides reacted enthusiastically, but even Chinese media reporters and fans were very excited.
Before the game, UEFA included a number of domestic media in China as its official partner media, including the first time that many domestic media had the right to ask questions at the pre-match press conference.
You know, Yang Yang answered more than 30 questions during the press conference the night before the game. In addition to the questions from UEFA official and world authoritative media, three Chinese media were qualified to ask questions.
This also made the domestic media and fans very excited, because they all knew very well that it was because of Yang Yang.
Yang Yang has reached the Champions League final for the fourth time, winning all the first three championships, and this time everyone is looking forward to him. With such a top superstar participating, UEFA and Real Madrid are both interested in developing the Asian football market. , is naturally a green light to the Chinese media, and welcomes Chinese media and fans to participate in the Champions League final.
According to the information disclosed by Chinese media, Real Madrid has reserved a total of 1,000 tickets for Chinese fans, but the supply is still in short supply. .
On match day, hotels and restaurants in downtown Madrid were overcrowded.
As the game time approaches, the roads leading to the Bernabeu in the urban area are also full of fans, and fans can be seen everywhere holding up tickets for tickets, hoping to buy a scalper ticket at the last moment, and the signs also say Out of their psychological price, the highest has reached 3,000 euros.
This is equivalent to twice the average monthly salary in Spain, and even in Madrid, which has the highest salary, the monthly salary is only about 1,800 euros, which shows the popularity of the tickets.
The closer to the Bernabeu, the larger the number of fans. As long as there is a slight movement, it immediately attracts the attention of countless fans on the scene.
For example, a vehicle with the Inter Milan team emblem approaching the Bernabeu was immediately "blocked" by the fanatical fans, and he almost couldn't get into the stadium. Finally, it was clear that the Inter Milan officials who came to the scene to check the environment made a fuss. Field Oolong.
But everyone knows that the footsteps of the final are getting closer.
…………
…………
The finals are still three hours away.
The entire Real Madrid team got on the bus in Valdebebas and officially went to the Bernabeu Stadium.
This section of the journey was originally only about fifteen minutes, but considering the crowd on the day of the Champions League final, the club gave double the time, which proved to be very necessary.
The bus traveled under the attention of the fans throughout the journey, and Real Madrid fans kept chasing after them along the way, cheering for the team.
In the car, everyone is trying to adjust their emotions.
Yang Yang sat in his place, listening to Jay Chou's singing coming from the headphones, sometimes looking out the window, and sometimes watching the beating information on the phone screen.
Since early this morning, he has been receiving blessings from relatives and friends, as well as former teammates and even opponents.
He also patiently responded to them one by one, thanking them.
At this moment, sitting on the bus to the Bernabeu, it would be an absolute lie to say that he is not nervous. He is not a robot, and he will have the emotions of ordinary people. He will be nervous, but he has his own set of stress relief methods. .
This is already his fourth Champions League final, and he believes that as long as he walks into the final court and steps on the soft grass, he will put all his complicated emotions behind him.
But before that, he was just like everyone else, nervous, nervous, excited...even a little scared.
He has always been worried about Mourinho's team.
Benitez was right, everyone thought it was a contest between Real Madrid's spear and Inter Milan's shield, but in fact, this was also a contest between Real Madrid's shield and Inter Milan's spear.
But as a team advocating attack, as a top La Liga giant, Real Madrid's defense has never been reassuring.
Even if Benitez has done a very good job this season, he still can't change that.
...
The closer the bus gets to the Bernabeu, the more fans it encounters.
The police specially came to greet them, and were responsible for clearing the way in front of them to prevent fans from hitting the team's bus.
Countless Real Madrid fans are chanting slogans to win the championship, and some fans even sing the team's team anthem, which should become the main theme of tonight's Bernabeu, although there are nearly 30,000 fans of Inter Milan who came to the scene.
When I came to the Bernabeu Stadium, the bus stopped directly at the player tunnel.
Under the leadership of Benitez, the coaching staff, and the staff of the stadium, everyone in the team quickly got into the player tunnel, and did not have any contact with the fans outside.
The whole process took a total of half an hour.
Yang Yang and his teammates packed up in the locker room, changed their clothes, left the locker room on time two hours before the game, walked out of the player tunnel, and went to the stadium for the last training session before the game.
At this time, Inter Milan had come to the scene ahead of schedule.
...
"Hey, Yang."
Mourinho was standing at the entrance of the player tunnel. As soon as he saw Yang Yang and others coming out, he immediately greeted him.
"Hello, Jose, welcome to the Bernabeu." Yang Yang stepped forward with a smile and hugged the Portuguese madman who had always been optimistic about him. Although he did not appreciate Mourinho's football style, this It didn't stop him from admiring Mourinho's character and his coaching ability.
"Oh, please, we are the home team tonight." Mourinho humorously.
Yang Yang shook his head with a smile, he really forgot about this.
Mourinho then met with several Real Madrid players, including Ibrahimovic and Raul, and exchanged a few polite greetings.
The players in the Inter Milan team also noticed Yang Yang, especially Maicon.
The Brazilian right-back has performed very well in Inter Milan in the past two years. He can be called a one-stop on the wing. Even in the Brazilian national team, he has steadily overtaken Daniel Alves of Barcelona and played the main role of the national team.
This comrade-in-arms who was behind Yang Yang at Ajax has now become an opponent in the game.
Maicon first greeted Yang Yang and others from afar, and then took advantage of an opportunity to pick up the ball and ran over to meet Yang Yang.
After a long absence, the two right-wing partners embraced warmly.
Sneijder, Fermaelen and Maxwell and other teammates of the year also came forward to meet.
"It's really unlucky, we are facing you tonight!" Yang Yang pointed at Maicon and smiled.
Maicon also laughed, "I only have one task tonight, and that is to stare at you!"
Real Madrid has always been rumored to buy Maicon, and the Brazil international has mentioned it to Yang Yang more than once. He is eager to come to Real Madrid and continue to fight with him, but no one knows the specific transfer.
But the only thing that is certain is that tonight Yang Yang and Mai Kong must have a point-to-point battle with Maimang.
Yang Yang is also very clear about Maicon's strength. If the Brazilian right-back really focuses on defense, it will indeed be a headache for him.
Moreover, he had a hunch that Mourinho would not just let Maicon guard him alone.
