Volume 2 The Miracle of Huo Village Chapter 392 The battle curtain opened

Unlike Li Huan and Ellijie in disguise, Stewart is still dressed in her punk clothes, wearing sneakers, dyeing her hair black that Li Huan likes, and standing there with a big grin on her back, like a high school student who is traveling, in fact, she is also the age of high school.

When Li Huan got out of the car beside her, Stewart rushed over excitedly, hugged Li Huan, and tried to take off Li Huan's glasses to take a look.

Li Huan hurriedly held down her hand, pointed to the crowds of fans pouring out of the airport, and said, "Do you want to be watched by them as pandas?" ”

Stewart said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, when they don't exist." ”

Li Huan smiled bitterly and said, "Shall we parry it?" ”

Stewart didn't wait for Li Huan to ask her where she was going, so she said, "I'm hungry, you take me to dinner, I want to eat authentic Italian pasta, pizza, the plane meal is so delicious." ”

Li Huan nodded and said, "Okay, I didn't have time to taste it, let's get in the car." ”

After Stewart got into the car, Li Huan said to the taxi driver in English, "Help us find a pasta shop that you think is the most authentic." Don't take us around, it's an extra 20 euro tip. ”

The driver was quite honest, and took the two of them to a not gorgeous, but very clean pasta shop, and the two of them asked for a 10 euro of pasta each, and Stewart ate half of it and threw it away, and took Li Huan to the pizzeria next to him to eat pizza.

After the two of them finished eating, it was already late, Li Huan was worried that this girl would go to the bar, and said, "Find a place to stay." The team had to go back by 10:30. ”

Stewart didn't object, but said, "I don't think you look like a disciplined person." ”

Li Huan shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's an extraordinary time, tomorrow is the finals, and it would be too bad if I didn't go back." ”

Stewart also knew that tomorrow's final would be a big deal, so he didn't say anything more.

The two of them found a four-star hotel at the corner of the commercial pedestrian street not far from the Olympic Stadium, Stewart booked a single room on the second floor, and then hurriedly went upstairs and entered the room with Li Huan, and hung up a Do Not Disturb sign.

At about 10 o'clock, Li Huan walked out of this four-star hotel that he couldn't understand the name, and he was in a good state of mind, and he couldn't see that he was sleepy at all. After getting dressed up, Li Huan raised his hand and hailed a taxi to the Greave-Lodge Hotel.

The next morning, Hoffenheim had an hour-long training session at the Olympic Stadium, then returned to the hotel for a meeting, a nutritious lunch at noon, a final acclimatization session in the afternoon, followed by a final press conference before the game.

This is the first official meeting between Rangnick and Pep Guardiola, and the first direct contact between the two teams since reaching the final. Rangnick finally felt the sharpness and courage of the young coach.

At the press conference, Guardiola said in person that he hoped to be able to play with Hoffenheim, Guardiola said that since ancient times, the competition has been nameless, almost every time the Champions League has been played very dull, often a solid defense, and then to catch the opponent's loopholes, rather than take the initiative to create offensive opportunities, when both sides are like this, in the end only by penalty kicks to determine the ownership of the championship, he hopes that Hoffenheim can play like a man.

Rangnick is not as sharp as Pep Guardiola's words, he said: "Barcelona is the representative of European attacking football, their lack of defense does not affect the level of Barcelona, Barcelona has never relied on his defensive success, and we and Barcelona, there is a big gap in technology, but although we will strengthen the defense, but we will not defend, we don't want to play penalties, we hope to get the Champions League trophy in 90 minutes or 120 minutes." ”

After the press conference, the annual finale, the Champions League final, the highest level of club competition in European football and even world football, finally entered the final stage.

With three hours to go, fans wearing Barcelona and Hoffenheim jerseys, waving flags to cheer for both teams, chanting slogans or singing team anthems, poured towards the northwest corner of the city of Rome like a tidal wave.

"Do you have a ticket?" This is the most common sentence of the fans around the stadium, some fans even dragged large suitcases directly from the airport to the stadium, they wanted to see if there were tickets first, and then consider the hotel.

The six makeshift shops that set up official UEFA souvenirs are crowded with fans, who basically pay for scarves, team flags and other souvenirs and wave them in their hands, regardless of the price.

In order to meet the needs of Chinese fans to understand the Champions League final in all aspects, the court station conducted a live broadcast of the game one hour in advance, and three professional sports reporters, including the famous reporter Jia Lei, were interviewed on the spot, and the latest information was sent back to the court station at any time.

In the studio hall of the imperial court station, the strongest combination composed of La Liga commentator He Wei, Bundesliga commentator Tao Wei, and commentator Zhang Lu is so strong that only the World Cup can compare with it.

When the fans outside the stadium gradually entered the stadium, the three commentators were introducing the fans in detail to the fans before and after the game, various tidbits, all kinds of rumors, hoping that the anxious fans could reduce their anxiety a little.

He Wei said: "The referee of this game may be more favorable for Hoffenheim, the Swiss Busaka, who officiated the match between Manchester United and Barcelona last season, and in the end Barcelona was eliminated by Manchester United, and finally Manchester United won the championship. ”

Tao Wei said: "The assistant referee is also Swiss, Swiss football and the Bundesliga play style is somewhat similar, such as Bayern's meritorious coach Heathfeld once coached the Swiss, and the referee enforcement scale in Switzerland should be closer to the Bundesliga." ”

Zhang Ludao: "I think the referee is also very important, but the referee generally makes the game run normally, and does not determine the direction of the game, we should mainly discuss the starting and formation of the two sides." ”

Tao Wei said: "Coach Zhang, due to injuries and bans, there are three previous main players in the Barcelona backline who cannot appear in the final: Marcos, Abidal and Alves, Henry and Iniesta are also injured; The absence of Barcelona personnel is so serious, what do you think about this problem? ”

Zhang Ludao: "Barcelona's defensive problems are deadly, even if the personnel are neat, they know that this is their weakness. At the same time, they also know that even if the game has been an hour, Hoffenheim can send a group of strikers to break through their door. So, this is a serious problem for BarΓ§a. However, I think Alves is still likely to play, and I can't underestimate Guardiola, although he is a rookie, he is very scheming and cunning. ”

He Wei cherished La Liga and said: "If Guardiola is a "rookie", then he is also a "rookie" produced by Barcelona. He grew up in Barcelona, played at Barcelona and now works for the club, so it's a good thing for him to coach Barcelona. As you might not expect, Guardiola may seem inexperienced, but in fact he has benefited greatly from it. Because he can cut through the distractions and instill his passionate theories into the team, he is not bound by worldly ideas to achieve success. He rarely gives interviews and does not appear with the chairman. All he thinks about is football, football, football, and his radical ideas. And his enthusiasm is also contagious to his players. ”

Zhang Ludao: "Whether Guardiola, a rookie, can win the Champions League final or not, he has been very successful this season, and if he becomes the Champions League champion, he will immediately become a legendary coach." ”

Tao Wei said: "The same is true for Rangnick, he will become a great coach as long as he wins the Champions League title, although he has not won the most championships, but he has created the most miracles, which can be called a miracle coach." ”

He Wei said eloquently: "It is difficult for ordinary good players to become good coaches, like Klinsmann, Maradona, etc., but Guardiola is different, he has succeeded now, he is the core on the pitch, just like Deschamps of the French team and Cruyff of the Ajax team." In general, the core players can be good coaches. ”

Tao Wei defended Klinsmann: "Klinsmann's environment is too harsh. It was his first time in charge of a club team, but he did quite well with Germany at the last World Cup. Sometimes, you have to be patient with the manager and not rush it. However, not playing in the Champions League, even for just one season, is a disaster for a big club like Bayern, which means losing money and high-quality players who must be signed to maintain their prestige. ”

He Wei said: "Director Zhang said that Guardiola is cunning, and I think Rangnick is also an old fox." It may not be possible to say that he is wise, but he must be very calculating, and after he was put on the table by Ferguson, he turned the book and killed Ferguson the second time. Chinese reporters and fans think that Rangnick is stained with Li Huan's light, but in fact, I think he is still very skillful. ”

Zhang Ludao: "I think even without Li Huan, Rangnick would have won the league title, but it might take a little more time. He has a set of things of his own. ”

Tao Wei said: "Li Huan is the reference coordinate in Rangnick's mind. Hoffenheim achieved great success in the combination of Li Huan and Rangnick, and the two people can't say who achieves whom, they should achieve each other. ”
