Chapter 285 Istanbul

In fact, after watching Ronaldo and his agent team's recent performance, Jiang Feng and Ferguson have become more inclined to sell Ronaldo. Especially Jiang Feng, who has memories of his previous life, after seeing that Ronaldo did not change his nature because of coming to Manchester United, he even knew that this summer is the last chance to sell Ronaldo at a high price.

Why do I say that? Because next year is the World Cup year, but the Brazilian national team led by Ronaldo failed in the German World Cup and lost to the French team in the quarter-finals. Ronaldo, as the core of the Brazilian team, did not show his due level in the game, which is also considered a major reason for the Brazilian team's defeat. Therefore, Ronaldo also bears great pressure and condemnation for the team's defeat in this cup. After the World Cup, head coach Pereira resigned, and his successor Dunga obviously no longer trusts Ronaldo. Ronaldo's name did not appear on the list of major Brazilian events in the future.

The German World Cup has also become the turning point in Ronaldo's career, and from then on, he will fall at a comet-like speed.

This year will undoubtedly be the year when Ronaldo reaches its peak in his career. In addition, the looting of three clubs, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Arsenal, is undoubtedly the best opportunity to sell him. If you miss this year, next year, Florentino will resign from Real Madrid and the Galaxy Fleet will also be disintegrated; secondly, the subprime mortgage crisis will begin to emerge, and a wealthy man like Abram will shrink significantly, and the market will find it difficult to maintain his current hot state. It is unlikely to buy Ronaldo at a sky-high price.

Of course, Jiang Feng could not tell Ferguson about these situations. He just expressed to him implicitly that he did not necessarily keep Ronaldo's attitude.

Amidst the chaos, the Champions League final is quietly coming.

Jiang Feng's private plane also flew to Istanbul, the capital of Türkiye, which was his first time to come to this country established by the descendants of Turks.

Although Jiang Feng wanted to be low-key, he was as dazzling as a kilowatt-shaped light bulb wherever he went, and this time he went to Istanbul was no exception. However, because Jiang Feng expressed in advance that he was just the boss of Manchester United and went to Turkey to watch his team's game and did not want to be disturbed by too much outside world, so the Turkish official did not organize any welcome ceremony with great fanfare, but the Turkish Football Association sent officials to the airport to pick up the plane.

After arriving at the hotel where he was staying, the Turkish President specially held a dinner for him, and Jiang Feng had to go there.

Apart from that, Jiang Feng did not participate in any social engagements.

On May 25, local time in Türkiye, the day of the Champions League final.

When I opened the window, the cold morning wind poured in from the window on the 11th floor, and the river breeze on the back made a chill. The air conditioner was turned on inside and outside, but the temperature difference between inside and outside was not large. If it didn't rain, this weather would be very suitable for the finals.

In the hazy rain and fog, the spire of the hotel where Liverpool is staying in the distance is no longer visible, and the huge figure of the Atatuk Olympic Stadium is looming. Jiang Feng stretched, turned off the air conditioner, put on his clothes and went to wash.

In the afternoon, the outside of Atatuk Stadium became lively.

Fans from both sides who came from the UK were rushing to the stadium, and vehicles from many TV media were also driving in. There were also construction machinery such as cranes and hung flags of the two sides of the finals above the exterior wall of the main entrance of the stadium to separate the fans of the two teams and let these excited people enter the stadium through two channels according to the team they support to avoid chaos - everyone knows what English fans will do after drinking too much.

The sponsors' flags were even planted throughout the squares around the stadium and fluttered in the wind in the drizzle.

Located in the west of Istanbul, Turkey, the Atatuk Olympic Stadium is the largest stadium in Turkey. It is a full-seater stadium with a track and field track and track, and can accommodate 75,145 people. The stadium was built in 1999 and was completed in 2002. The stadium is called the Turkish founding father Kemal. The stadium was built to bid for the Olympics. In 2004, it was rated as the UEFA five-star football stadium and can hold the finals of the event held by the UEFA.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Feng took a Rolls-Royce and arrived at the Atatuk Olympic Stadium under the protection of his bodyguards, and quickly entered his booked private room, waiting for the start of the game.

Jiang Feng doesn't have much memory of this game, and he doesn't even remember whether it rained in the first game. As a Manchester United fan, he had never watched this final in that life because both parties were Liverpool and AC Milan, and had nothing to do with Manchester United. Jiang Feng only knew that AC Milan scored three goals in the first half of the game, almost killing the game, but Liverpool scored three goals in six minutes from the 54th to the 60th minute of the second half, dragging the game into overtime, and these six minutes were also called "magical six minutes". The final battle of the game was finally held, and Liverpool defeated AC Milan in the penalty shootout, making this game the most classic example of a reversal in European history.

In addition to this event, Liverpool has won the UEFA Champions League five times, so Liverpool can use the badge of honor. In addition, the traditional badge is blue, but because blue is the main color of Everton in the same city club, the Reds' badge is a dark blue badge with five characters and UEFA patterns. The usual rules of the game stipulate that teams who win the UEFA can retain the trophy for ten months and then return it to UEFA to prepare for the next UEFA final, but can retain a copy of the trophy. When Liverpool won the UEFA five times, the rules stipulate that the trophy can be saved permanently. Therefore, the trophy for the 2005/06 season UEFA Champions League was recast.

This time, Manchester United's goal is not only to win the Champions League championship, but also to destroy the dream of dying enemies to preserve the Champions League trophy forever.

...

Just as Jiang Feng entered the private room, the rain was still falling, and Manchester United was ready to warm up.

"Warm up! It's a little cold tonight, don't let your joints rust in the rain! Turn your body on!" Queros' loud voice sounded at the door of the locker room, which has become a routine before every game.

Under his urging, the players did not dare to stay in the locker room for an extra second. After changing their clothes, they ran out, passed through a corridor and entered the rain curtain.

"Jazz." Queros shouted when he saw that everyone had left and Ferguson was left in the locker room.

"Huh?" Ferguson didn't even raise his eyelids and sat in his chair to rest.

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier outside."

"I get it. Thank you, Carlos."

Queros nodded, turned around and ran out.

When Queiros came out of the locker room and entered the court, other coaches supervised the players to conduct warm-up training. He walked to the sidelines, looked at the warm-up situation for a while, and shook his head: "This turf is really bad."

A member of the coaching staff nodded and said, "I'm in a hurry to change the turf. I'm just hitting such rain."

"Even if you don't change the turf, it's bad." Queros grinned with his neck.

"I can only hope that the drainage system of this court can play its best..." the coach who spoke earlier murmured.

When the players finished warm-up and returned to the locker room from the court, everyone became a chicken. Each of them had neatly stacked dry towels and dry jerseys on their chairs.

"Stop catching a cold, wipe it dry quickly and change into dry clothes." Queros walked into the locker room with a wet dress. Before he could even wipe the water droplets on his face, he yelled first. He was such a conscientious assistant coach.

"How is the venue?" Ferguson asked.

"It will have some bad effects on the game."

Queros did not say "it would have a bad impact on us" because he knew that the adverse impact was aimed at both sides of the game.

"There is nothing to worry about. We have a headache, and we have a headache next door." Ferguson shook his head and did not take the weather seriously.

The locker room was messy and noisy. Everyone was busy changing clothes, and some people turned on the music to relax. Ferguson and Queros were also chatting casually. How could there be any tension before the final? If a Manchester United fan suddenly broke in, he would definitely be disappointed with the team's performance when he saw this scene?

But when Ferguson finished chatting with the people around him and stood up from his seat, it was all over.

The players consciously calmed down, and the noisy rock music came to an abrupt end.

"Okay, okay, guys." Ferguson waved his hand and signaled everyone to sit down. He didn't want anyone to stand taller than him.

"It's another final. Hey, why do I say 're Again'?" Ferguson laughed at everyone. Since he came to Manchester United, he has always faced various finals, and they are always destined to be the champion.

"We always have a fate with the champions. Last season, we won all the championships we could win, and this season we won the league championship, the FA Cup and the League Cup. There are not many teams in the world that have crazily robbed the championships like us, but I don't want you to feel any tiredness after you win these championships. Because..."

Ferguson paused for a moment, and he had to hang the appetites of these people.

"Since the European Champions League reorganization, no team in football can achieve the great achievements of winning the cup for two consecutive years. I said it was a "great career", and there is absolutely no exaggeration. There is a big difference between winning the first championship and defending the championship. I personally think that defending the championship is more difficult than winning the first championship. Why? Because we have become the target of public criticism and have become the target! Those people are holding hunting guns and squatting in the corner where you can't see, wanting to put the black gun while you are not paying attention! It's a pity that we were not defeated by them, we just went to bed.

The road is coming to the final... There is no controversy. We reached the final for two consecutive years! This is an amazing result. Guys! But if we can reach the final twice in a row and win the championship trophy twice in a row, it would be even more amazing! Of course, if the opponent we defeated is Liverpool, then his best thing is perfect!" He waved his arms vigorously, and Ferguson's "Showtime" came. (To be continued.
