No. 1034: The battle of life and death is coming!
On April 25, the day of the life-and-death battle between Real Madrid and Bayern in the Champions League semifinals, the pinnacle showdown will be staged at the Bernabeu at 8 o'clock tonight.
At half past six in the evening, when Madrid is lit up and crowded, Real Madrid fans either head to their sacred place at the Bernabeu or call their friends to the bars.
Tonight, they will have to support their team in a different way, and they will see first-hand how Real Madrid overthrew the Bundesliga giants at the Bernabeu and made their way towards the treble!
At the Bernabeu, there were many fans from both sides, and there were a lot of Bayern fans.
After Borussia Dortmund won the Bundesliga ahead of schedule, Bayern fans could only pin their hopes on the Champions League.
In the first leg, their side lived up to expectations with a 3-1 win over mighty Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena to end their unbeaten run in all competitions this season.
This laid a solid foundation for Bayern's promotion.
However, in the Spanish national derby three days ago, Real Madrid, who were defeated at their feet, actually directed a tragedy at the Camp Nou, beating Barcelona 5-1.
Real Madrid's fiery form made them worry about Bayern's promotion, so they came to the Bernabeu to cheer for their team.
They hope that Bayern can withstand the bombardment of Real Madrid and finally advance to the Champions League final as they wish.
Soon after, the Bayern bus drove into the Bernabeu.
Journalists from all over the world immediately became excited.
Three days ago, the journalists were in Barcelona for interviews, and they simply did not return home after the Spanish national derby, where two Champions League semi-finals were about to be played.
After the Spanish national derby, they took a short break in Barcelona before arriving in Madrid.
After tonight's game, they will be back in Barcelona for an interview on the Barcelona vs Chelsea match.
As Bayern got off the bus up and down, the atmosphere at the scene became lively.
In addition to Van Gaal, Thomas Muller became the most wanted interview for journalists, who were eager to ask him how he felt about coming to Madrid.
The reporters were visibly disappointed, and neither was interviewed by the media.
Van Gaal told a reporter he was familiar with: "I said it in the pre-match press conference in the afternoon. ”
Some journalists were unrelenting: "Mr. van Gaal, can you tell us now, will Thomas Muller start?" ”
In his pre-match press conference in the afternoon, Van Gaalming did not give a clear answer to that question.
Van Gaal did not answer reporters this time and walked towards the dressing room.
As for Thomas Muller...... The teammates quickly disappeared from the reporter's view and entered the locker room.
The only one left was Arjen Robben, who scored two goals in the first leg.
"After the first leg, a lot of people thought that Bayern would have no problem qualifying for the final, and they were optimistic about Bayern.
I said then that Bayern is not happy now, the game at the Bernabeu is very tough.
I still hold that view, tonight was definitely a very tough game and Bayern were likely to be put to the test.
However, I'm still very confident in tonight's fight and I hope I can keep the first leg in shape! ”
The Dutch winger's years at the Bernabeu were not glamorous, he did not enjoy the trust of the manager at the time, and he was not an absolute workhorse for Real Madrid.
That's why he applied for a transfer to the Allianz Arena and became a part of Bayern.
At the Allianz Arena, Robben finally found his form, quickly occupied the main position, and gradually became the heart of Bayern's attack.
He has helped Bayern win one victory after another with wonderful breakthroughs and beautiful goals, which has been recognized by the club and loved by fans.
Marca asked: "Chen's form is hot, and Mr van Gaal has repeatedly said that Bayern can curb Chen's play, do you think so?" ”
Robben's face changed slightly, and he replied to the reporter seriously: "Two years ago in South Africa, Chen has proven himself to the world, and as a teammate of the Dutch team, I know how terrible he is. ”
"It's very difficult to completely contain Chen, what we have to do is to try to make him less exposed to football, not to give him speed and space and opportunities."
Robben then left the reporter.
Journalists digested what Robben had said while waiting for Real Madrid to arrive.
Five minutes later, Real Madrid's buses arrived slowly, and the reporters were immediately ready to call.
As soon as the subject they wanted to interview stepped out of the bus, they immediately made a warm call.
The scene is very much like some of the streets of Amsterdam, where scantily clad girls call out to passing men.
Mourinho ignored the enthusiastic calls and walked towards the road ahead without squinting like a decent gentleman.
Real Madrid's face in charge of Cristiano Ronaldo accepted these enthusiastic calls and came to the reporter.
"I've finally waited for this moment!"
Cristiano Ronaldo said: "We don't think about the physical fatigue, in our hearts, we can rest after tonight's game. We're ready for a fierce battle! ”
"You will see a tireless Real Madrid, you will see a fighting Real Madrid!"
On the other side, Chen Fan is being interviewed, and the reporters are more concerned about what Real Madrid fans are doing at the airport and hotel, because the fans are standing up for him.
As one of the parties involved, the journalists wanted to know how he felt.
"Thank you to the fans for everything they have done for me, I can only repay them with goals!"
This sentence is very powerful, the reporters nodded one after another, and the goal effect in front of him can be ranked in the top three in football history.
Some Spanish media even exaggerated, "Scoring goals is as common for Chen as eating, and it would be strange if he didn't score in any game, just like he didn't eat at a certain meal." ”
……
At 7:40 a.m., the starters from both sides appeared in the tunnel and Robben, a former Real Madrid player, gave a friendly hug to his former team-mates.
Although the two sides are very nervous in front of the media now, they still have no problem in private.
Chen Fan hugged Robben and whispered, "After tonight, I invite you to drink." ”
Robben shook his head with a smile and said, "You didn't ask me to invite you to drink when you came to Munich." ”
Chen Fan said helplessly: "That's a matter of no way. ”
Robben looked at him with a helpless expression, became inexplicably happy, and asked with a smile, "How are Emel and the little guy?" This time I forgot to bring a gift, and the next time I come to Madrid, I will take it with me to visit them. ”
Chen Fan nodded and said, "They are in good shape. Welcome to our home! ”
Thomas Muller frowned and looked at Chen Fan and Robben, who were talking cordially, and since the players from both sides came to the players' tunnel, he found that Chen Fan had not looked at him at all.
He was ignored......
"They're in good shape."
State?
Damn, are you all about the game?
Robben glanced at Chen Fan, shook his head and returned to Bayern's team.
Subsequently, the starters of both sides walked into the stadium under the leadership of the four referees, and they were still greeted by a tsunami of cheers!
The battle to the death is about to begin!
