Chapter 388 The Eve of the Decisive Battle (Daily Transition)
Cardiff is the capital of Wales.
The area is equivalent to one-tenth that of London.
A poet once said: "You can never predict which way the wind blows in Cardiff."
England and Scotland gave birth to "Braveheart", why can't Wales give birth to a classic drama?
As the Champions League final approaches, thousands of fans flock to the city.
"Why are pictures of Bale and Ramsey everywhere?"
"Two of them are Welsh, and the clubs of two Welshmen have reached the Champions League final!"
There are three days left until the Champions League final.
Players and coaching staff from the two clubs came to Cardiff in advance.
Real Madrid boss Florentino also arrived in Wales early.
The war is coming.
However, Ser Radio exposed a recording of him: "If Neymar plays for Galacticos, then it will be very simple for him to win the Ballon d'Or. Real Madrid always allows players to get everything they want. Real Madrid missed out on Neymar." Mal, everyone knows this."
This sentence has no impact on the morale of the Real Madrid team. The players just listen to it as amusement.
Zidane believes that Bale can be sold to make room for salary to sign Neymar.
Florentino did not agree: Selling Bale? Isn't it just a slap in the face?
...
The two teams have staggered their training times at the Millennium Stadium.
Players from both sides cannot meet and will not take the initiative to meet.
After Li Kang finished training every day, he did not watch the game videos, but watched the documentaries of various clubs.
He still couldn't understand Zidane's tactical arrangements.
In the documentary "Heart of Eleven Crowns", the tactical adjustments in Real Madrid's locker room were broadcast live...perhaps it shouldn't be called adjustments.
Zidane was just shouting: "Be calm and don't concede the ball easily... Focus on defense... Casemiro can take more long shots! Marcelo and Carvajal should actively participate in forward moves." attack."
Immediately afterwards, Nacho, Modric, Varane, and Benzema were communicating on tactical details...
Compared with other clubs... this style is totally different!
What’s interesting is...even Real Madrid officials are making complaints about: metaphysics.
Simeone once said after a La Liga derby: "I thought Zidane would discover Atletico Madrid's weaknesses in the second half and make adjustments, so I made another change... but he did nothing! Atletico Madrid The competition was lost like this.”
...
Maguire handed over a dry towel and said: "The closer to the game, the more nervous I become."
Welbeck asked in confusion: "What is there to be nervous about? When I was taking a nap, I dreamed that I scored Real Madrid's goal!"
Maguire patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "The smarter the person, the more likely he is to be anxious."
far away.
Wenger's expression was calm.
He has failed on the stage of the Champions League final, and it was the kind of failure that was reversed by his opponent.
...
Final day.
The whole city of Cardiff is brightly lit.
Posters of Bale and Ramsey can be seen everywhere.
Real Madrid fans and Arsenal fans were surprisingly calm. They gathered on both sides of the street, waiting for the club bus to enter.
The main entrance of the Millennium Stadium.
The top executives of the two clubs entered the venue surrounded by reporters.
The Kroenkes were about to say something.
The guns and cannons in front of him suddenly moved away.
There were waves of exclamations from the crowd behind: "Beckenbauer!"
The reporters turned around in an orderly manner and gathered around excitedly.
Although Beckenbauer left the FIFA Executive Committee early, he is still a celebrity that UEFA and FIFA must invite on major occasions.
When it comes to influence in football politics... few legends can compare to him. After all, he was once able to influence the host country of the World Cup "fairly and above board", and the whole world could not find any fault with it.
As for the referee who helped the German team replace Korean referees during the World Cup in Japan and South Korea? That is a small matter in comparison.
"Both clubs have top players in the world, and I was looking forward to their peak showdown a month ago."
"predict?"
"Real Madrid is used to exerting strength in the second half this season. Arsenal may be able to suppress their opponents in the first half, just like Atletico Madrid."
"Galaxy Battleship will replace Bell at about sixty to seventy minutes to determine the outcome of the game!"
Beckenbauer's tone was a bit perfunctory.
The reporters were a little disappointed with the answer: Real Madrid played like this for almost the entire 2016/17 season. Can't Prince Harry directly express which club he is optimistic about winning the championship?
Gradually, the topic shifted to Mr. 200 million in the arsenal.
The German legend's eyes lit up and he suddenly became energetic.
"He is a treasure from the Bundesliga to the world!"
"Every time I see him raising his hand to direct during a game, I feel inexplicably moved."
Applause fell here and there.
The reporters were greatly disappointed. This was similar to what Pei Huang said about Messi ten years ago: "Every time I see Messi get the ball in a game, I feel inexplicably moved."
....
Millennium Stadium.
The grandstand, which accommodates more than 70,000 people, was divided into two halves.
Half of the pure white is sandwiched with purple, and the other half is red and white. Small flags of different colors are gently swayed.
The green field is covered by a dark blue carpet, and hundreds of staff are squatting around it.
The exciting Champions League theme song played.
Three flags gradually appeared: the Champions League LOGO, the Arsenal flag, and the Real Madrid flag.
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers."
"Welcome to the 2016/17 Champions League final."
"Arsenal and Real Madrid will stage a peak showdown in Cardiff, the capital of Wales!"
"We will witness the final cadenza of the season at the Millennium Stadium!"
"On the road to the final, Arsenal and Real Madrid both showed their different temperaments!"
"Liverpool legend Yin Rush placed the big ear cup on the stand at the exit of the tunnel!"
"No matter which side wins this Champions League trophy, it will make history!"
"The Gunners on top of Europe?"
"Real Madrid becomes the first defending champion since the Champions League was restructured?"
"Let's wait and see."
Duan Xuan and He Wei worked hard to adjust their emotions: because one of them is a Ronaldo fan and the other is a Real Madrid fan.
During the explanation process, you must maintain a neutral attitude.
...
The temperature in Cardiff is a bit low at night.
Everyone in the tunnel put on a jacket.
Ramos and Carvajal warmly embraced their national team teammates in the opponent's queue.
Yinske quietly pulled down the zipper, revealing the purple jersey underneath.
"Li, the position of the Champions League slogan on Real Madrid's jersey is better than that on Arsenal's jersey."
Li Kang lowered his head and took a closer look before nodding seriously.
The warmth of the national team lasted only ten seconds.
The passage soon returned to a tense atmosphere.
Maguire took a deep breath, adjusted his hair, and whispered: "Li, that Pepe is staring at you with evil intentions!"
Xhaka heard this and immediately looked at the Real Madrid defender defiantly.
The powder keg is about to be ignited at any time.
Only Ronaldo stood at the front of the queue, looking quietly at the green field of the final, with perseverance in his eyes.
