Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 518
At six o'clock, the fans had already started to enter the stadium gradually. With the fans entering the stadium, the Stade de France gradually became lively, but at this time the players of both teams had already returned to the locker room. After the fans entered the stadium , just chatting with each other, it seems that they are recharging their energy and waiting for a while to erupt.

The Stade de France has a total of 1 seats, of which more than 1 are Real Madrid fans who came with the team, and Lyon also only has more than [-] people, and the rest are all neutral fans.

What I have to mention here is that European fans have identity registration, and every fan is registered with the club they support. When buying tickets, the conductor will check the real identity to ensure the division of fan camps and seats. This is conducive to the normal progress of the game.

After all, hostile fans sitting together will definitely cause chaos.

And this also suppressed the team's small private actions. After all, in this kind of game, any team hopes to have more fans who support them.

However, it is obvious that UEFA is very tight on this point. The share of Real Madrid fans is only 1. Even in France, there are only 1 fans in Lyon, and the rest are all neutral fans. Another half of them are not French fans, they are tourists who come to Paris, or other fans who just want to experience the atmosphere of the competition.

In this way, the fairness of the game is effectively guaranteed.

But in fact, although the system is very tight, it is impossible for all the fans present to be neutral. There will always be supporters in the fans' hearts. For French fans, of course they will support the Lyon team, so the fans who support Lyon in the field are obviously Ask for more.

Such an atmosphere is not good for Real Madrid.

But despite this, the number of Lyon supporters does not have an overwhelming advantage. Wang Li and a group of top Real Madrid stars have an undeniable influence in Europe. Most of the fans who just come to enjoy the game will choose to support Real Madrid.

Therefore, the number of supporters of the two teams is not much different, and Real Madrid has a disadvantage, but it is not obvious.

At this time, the players and head coaches of both sides also stayed in the locker room and started the final pre-battle deployment. At this moment, every minute and every second is very important. In order to increase the winning rate a little, the two teams The head coach doesn't shy away from putting in a lot of work either.

The UEFA Champions League game is different from other games. In order to achieve the maximum viewing effect, reporters from TV stations, newspapers, magazines, and news websites in various countries can get the big list of the game before the game. Whether or not it is exactly the same, unless there is a real injury to the player, there may be changes.

Of course, the head coaches of the two teams also got the opponent's lineup.

Houllier looked at Real Madrid's roster and didn't feel much in his heart.The Real Madrid team is almost the world's attention. They rarely have a surprising starting lineup, and now Real Madrid's lineup is almost their main lineup.

Perhaps there is only one change, that is, Zidane did not play in the middle, and he participated in the game as a substitute player in this game.

Such a starting lineup did not surprise Houllier at all. At least everything is still in his hands. This feeling is the best, because he is not afraid of accidents.

On the other hand, Carlo also has Lyon's starting roster. This list also has some deviations from Lyon's main lineup, but the deviation is not large. They still play the traditional 442 formation of the Ligue [-] team, which does not seem to be surprising. place.

Ke Carlo is different from Houllier. Seeing this very ordinary starting lineup, he was a little puzzled, because every team that played against Real Madrid would come up with some tactics to deal with Real Madrid's offense, but now Lyon's The lineup doesn't reflect that.

"Could it be that he wants to fight against Real Madrid?" Carlo thought so, but he shook his head immediately, even he himself couldn't believe the situation.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that this idea was the most correct.

"No matter what, our strength is guaranteed, and it's useless for them to play any tricks!" This is another thought of Carlo.

In fact, even in the face of unexpected tactics or arrangements, Carlo seldom made adjustments to Real Madrid's formation. Facts have proved that this approach is correct, because Real Madrid has been victorious so far, which also strengthened Carlo's belief in Confidence in the team, he felt that in the face of strong strength, playing tricks would be futile.

Therefore, although Lyon's starting was a bit unexpected, Carlo was not afraid at all. He firmly believed that the team could win the final victory, and now he couldn't wait to start the game, because he wanted to watch the black-haired kid enter the game. The ball, watching the team use goals to hit Lyon's morale little by little, watching the team win the supreme trophy!
A group of Real Madrid players sat around in the left-wing locker room of the Stade de France, and Carlo walked back and forth with the roster in his hand. Seeing that the time was almost up, he read the opponent's roster to the players, and then laughed. He opened his mouth and said: "There is nothing surprising about their starting lineup. Everything that needs to be said has already been said, so I don't want to talk about emphasizing tactical arrangements now."

"This is the last game of the season and the most important game. You should know what it means. I think very few of you have played a few games like this. Real Madrid last time Participating in the Champions League final was three years ago!"

"However, I hope you play it as a normal league, we are Real Madrid! The best team of the 20th century is also the best team of the 21st century, and the other side? I didn't hear it when I was a kid Said its name."

Hearing this slightly sarcastic remark, the players in the entire locker room laughed.

Caro ignored the performance of the players, but continued on his own: ". This season, we have been performing very well since the winter break. We defeated Arsenal and Chelsea by a large score, and eliminated the difficult team. Benfica, and our rival Barcelona were also humiliated by us with eight goals, our performance was perfect." Speaking of this, Carlo pointed to the outside and said: "You know what the fans outside say about us ?"

"They say we are invincible, just like the Benfica coach Koeman, he said we are invincible, yes, the fans are not optimistic about Lyon, so what will they say if we fail?"

Hearing this, the players below all started to think, but Wang Li continued with a smile: "They have no strength at all, they can't even beat a French team!"

Carlo smiled and said: ". Their words are much more sinister than this! So, we have come to this point, we must win. This season, our triple crown has reached the final step. I miss you No one wants to fall from here!"

"Go! Go beat them and take the championship trophy that belongs to us! We will take it to Madrid and come back to Madrid with the trophy to revel. I think this will leave you with some of the best memories of your life!"

After Carlo finished speaking, he was dragged away by the assistant coach, and then it was time for the players to move freely, and it only took a few minutes. After a while, they will go to the player tunnel to prepare for the game.

At this time, Wang Li felt as if he had passed away. He kept thinking about last season, when he represented Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League final in Istanbul. At that time, the head coach Mourinho also said something to encourage the morale of the players. At that time, his words made all the players feel excited. This is where the Portuguese's personal charm lies.

Compared to Carlo, Mourinho is indeed more charismatic, and his words are very domineering, not as weak as Carlo.

However, comparing the two has advantages and disadvantages. Carlo is much more friendly than Mourinho. At least in the locker room, no player is dissatisfied with Carlo. This may be another kind of his personal charm.

And now, the second UEFA Champions League final in his football career is about to start. One day ago, Wang Li was even a little excited, but when this time came, he calmed down instead.

Looking at the other teammates, they seem to be the same way, but they are not in a hurry when they really get there.

"Everyone listen to me, this is our reality. A few days ago we won the No. 30 league championship trophy, and now we have a chance to win the tenth Champions League trophy! This is a coincidence, but with Eastern The words of the ancient country are also a kind of providence, the tenth championship trophy, this is really very meaningful!"

"This is the best opportunity for us to create history in the new century. If we miss it, we will not be able to win two meaningful championships together. Even if we win the Triple Crown next season, we will leave a lot of regrets."

"So, everyone has to work hard! Try to show your strength in the first half and show them how great they are!"

Wang Li's words cheered up the spirits of his teammates. As the captain of the team, he should also boost the morale of the team before the game.However, Wang Li's phrase 'the tenth championship trophy' did arouse the players' expectations.

No. 30 league titles and the tenth Champions League title. It is really meaningful to win these two meaningful championship trophies together.

"We're going to win the Triple Crown!!"

"Triple Crown!!"

"Triple Crown!!"

Soon, the players in the locker room shouted loudly to boost the morale of the team and of course themselves.Although such an approach was somewhat abnormal, in fact, these players were more or less nervous. In front of this kind of competition, even a star like David Beckham was extremely nervous.

But now everyone shouting slogans together greatly reduces the tension of the players and boosts their morale, waiting for the game to start.

Just when Real Madrid was ready to play in high spirits, the fans of the Stade de France had already entered the stadium. , many, many came to the scene, and they will not miss such a football feast.

But in a VIP box in the north stand, there are two faces that no one can imagine, that is Chelsea's coach Jose Mourinho and Inter Milan's chairman, Mr. Moratti.

How did these two people come together?

No one can tell.However, if the two were photographed walking together by the reporter, I am afraid that there will be another round of public opinion explosion. As the head coach of Chelsea, but watching the football with the chairman of Inter Milan, such a scene is intriguing.

At this time, Mourinho looked at the stadium with a blank face. Players from the two teams had gradually entered the field. He dragged his chin to watch this scene, wondering what he was thinking.

"If Chelsea don't sell Allen, you should be standing on the pitch now." Moratti said with a smile.

"The club always thinks more than the coach. If there is only me in the team, I will not let such a player leave. He is a genius, an unparalleled talent. Among the players I have ever seen, he is the best. Excellent." There was no expression on Mourinho's face, but there was a kind of helplessness and reluctance in his words: "I thought I could defeat him, but I lost, completely. A coach loses For a player, that's a huge irony."

"You don't have to ask for so much, at least you are leaving soon, maybe he will come to Meazza next season."

Hearing these words, Mourinho suddenly turned his head to look at Moratti, and said excitedly: "Really?" However, he immediately shook his head helplessly, and said to himself: "That is Impossible, Real Madrid will never let him go."

Real Madrid may be much less likely to let someone go than Chelsea. After all, Wang Li's level has surpassed all players. It is impossible for Real Madrid to let such a player leave the Bernabeu. It will make them feel bad in any aspect. small problem.

Moratti also shook his head and said, "I can only do my best, I hope my sincerity can impress him."

Mourinho thought about it and understood what Moratti meant.

Now, at the Chelsea club, he has some disputes with the chairman Roman Abramovich, so he has already planned to leave Stamford Bridge.In fact, he doesn't want to leave the Premier League, after all, it is the most popular league, and when he decides to leave, he will definitely not look back.

It seems that Moratti appreciates him and invited him to watch the football game in Paris this time.

However, Mourinho knew that the reason why the chairman next to him invited him was that he wanted to get the black-haired boy on the field.Inter Milan's crisis is great, but after this season, because of the Calciopoli incident, AC Milan was forced to relegate, Juventus was fined, and many teams were involved. Inter Milan is undoubtedly the biggest winner.

So at this time, as long as Moratti can find a good coach, then the international may get out of the trough and move towards glory.

The more important reason for inviting him is that he has a good personal relationship with the black-haired kid on the field.

Yes, Moratti values ​​this very much. When Wang Li was still at Wolverhampton, Moratti wanted him, and he was suspended for half a season after his brilliant Chelsea career. period, so Moratti hesitated, but now seeing Wang Li's crazy performance as always, Moratti was moved again.

He wants to bring Wang Li to Meazza and to Inter Milan.

So how can Real Madrid let people go?This is almost impossible. Even ordinary fans know that it is impossible for Wang Li to leave Real Madrid now. It should be said that it is impossible for Real Madrid to take the initiative to release him.

What should I do?
There was only one way to go, and that was the dark-haired kid who volunteered to come to Italy, to San Siro, and to join Inter Milan.Obviously, the former Inter Milan did not have this charm, but what about now?Mourinho came to Inter Milan.

Then the team has capital, because among the coaches, the relationship between the Portuguese and Wang Li is undoubtedly the best. Playing the favor card and adding a price that will make Real Madrid's executives excited, this is Moratti's idea.

Even so, there are still not many chances for Inter Milan to get Wang Li, but it is still a chance, isn't it?
Moreover, Mourinho's coaching ability is beyond doubt. This is almost a guaranteed profit. Therefore, Moratti has already negotiated with Mourinho. Rinho has no reason to refuse at all.

"Hopefully he'll come."

After Mourinho woke up from his contemplation, he smiled and said: "Let's watch the game, I think the game will be very exciting."

Moratti nodded and said, "It will definitely. That black-haired boy has never let others down, but I don't want to see a fight, haha."

With the chatting between Mourinho and Moratti, under the anticipation of everyone, the game on the field has already begun, and the first kick-off is Real Madrid.

It seems that Real Madrid's offensive routine today is a bit conservative. When they played Chelsea, Arsenal, and Benfica in the past, Real Madrid's offense was aggressive, with a look of 'we will win by attacking', but today they are more aggressive. Due to the positional battle, the football passed many times in the backcourt, and took advantage of the opportunity of a Lyon striker to grab the ball before it was passed to the middle.

This style of play is a bit conservative, and the attack speed is also very slow. When the football is passed on the wing, it is directly intercepted by Lyon's midfielder.

Next is Lyon's offense.

Apparently, Lyon is also very conservative.After stealing, they did not launch a large-scale fast break, but they also played back and forth in the backcourt. It seemed that they were a Spanish team rather than a French team known for their overallity.

Both teams started a tentative attack.

In fact, this is also a guarantee of stability. There is no understanding between these two teams. In the history of more than 100 years, they have no record of fighting in the knockout stage of the Champions League.

Such a situation is really rare, and Lyon is really a complete new army.

Therefore, both teams planned to attack tentatively at the beginning of the game to find out the opponent's routine and style of play. This made the performance of both teams mediocre in the opening 15 minutes, and it seemed that defense was greater than offense.

This kind of game is drowsy, but the players present did not complain. Real players understand this situation very well: the more important the game, the more boring the game process will be.

Will this scene really happen to an offense-focused team, though?

The fans don't know, but since the 15th minute of the game, the Real Madrid players have already made their own judgments, and the offense has become more and more violent.
