Despite being right under the Eiffel Tower, the two didn't pay for an elevator up to get a bird's-eye view of Paris, and they didn't go to other famous tourist attractions. After taking photos at the Champ de Mars and eating ice cream, Don and Shania walked along the banks of the Seine, chatting as they went. Take a few photos once in a while. Don doesn't know anything about fashion and has little interest in shopping, while Shania has access to the most fashionable clothes and cosmetics because of her work relationship, and there is no need to go shopping. The two of them just walked aimlessly, very casually.

Don would ask her how she was doing, but he wouldn't criticize her for her minor mistakes at work, nor would he lecture her like Mom and Dad did. Shania loves this time, it's not stress-free at all.

Don also likes it, and being with Shania can make him forget about the upcoming Champions Cup final for a while. You don't have to think about the tactical arrangement of the opponent and your own team, you don't have to worry about this and that, you don't have to do ideological work for the players. Don't make a big fuss about attracting firepower...... Don't do anything. Like an idler, strolling the streets in the lazy afternoon sun of Paris.

If Shania was a girl who went to the street and went to the high-end shopping mall, and finally went home with a big bag, Don and her might not have the tacit understanding she has now.

He is not a very good person to deal with women, and he can sometimes seem helpless in the face of Sophia's enthusiasm; He will also feel embarrassed when faced with Chrissy's bold and direct; Even when she was alone with Yang Yan, she was restrained most of the time...... Only with the little girl Shania. He can be unpretentious, not embarrassed, and unrestrained, and his body and mind will naturally relax.

He didn't have the ability to read minds, and he didn't know what Shania was thinking or what it was like to be with him. Looking at the smile on Shania's face now, he wished he had the same idea as himself......

Afternoon time is short. Even though the sun was still shining, Don and Shania had to take their leave. In order to avoid being chased by the media, Don did not send Shania back to the hotel where she was staying, and Shania did not accompany Don back. The two waved goodbye on the streets of Paris.

Don returned to the hotel with a good afternoon and warm sunshine. The players from elsewhere have returned 66 times. Gathering the good guys, the team took the bus to the Stade de France to prepare for the final a day later.

To this day, Donn still has an indescribable feeling that he watched the UEFA Champions League final in front of the TV. In the pouring rain, Arsenal responded with ten men, leading Barcelona for dozens of minutes, and lost at the last moment.

So when he is now in the middle of a historical event and becomes the main character, the feeling of traveling through time and space becomes more and more obvious.

It was supposed to be the Champions League final when Arsenal were eliminated by their own team. Further back, Spanish Yellow Submarine Villarreal, which was supposed to appear in this season's Champions League, were eliminated by Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest replaced Villarreal in the Champions League and should have been knocked out by Arsenal in the semi-finals if the trajectory of Donn was followed.

Everything is turned upside down, and changing these places is its own time-traveling "Bug".

Because he is a bug, he led Nottingham Forest to become a bug as a matter of course.

Don stands in front of the window of his room in the hotel.

He remembers the time when it rained heavily in Paris, the final of the Champions League.

Now...... The sound of rushing water. Even if it's closing the windows. You can hear it clearly. Silvery rain lines poured down from the sky, and yesterday you could see the Eiffel Tower clearly, but today you can only see a vague black shadow.

He looked out at the hazy world and was distracted.

"Tony." There was a sound from behind the door opening, and Chrislak pushed it in. It's time to get out."

"It's raining so hard," Eastwood stood at the door of the hotel lobby, looking at the bus parked outside, and the sound ......of rain here was more pronounced and clear, unlike Donn's room with the windows closed.

The Forest players have all arrived in the lobby. And ready to go out on the field. Rain racing is no stranger to them, after all, the most important place in the UK is rain all year round.

But for everyone to take the European Champions Cup final very seriously. It can no longer be carried out in suitable weather. It's still very disappointing and disappointing.

"Will the game be postponed due to heavy rain?" Aaron Lennon, a child next to him, asked curiously.

Albertini shook his head: "No, the underground drainage system of the Stade de France is very good. There won't be much standing water on the site. And......" he glanced at the photographers who were wearing raincoats and shooting in heavy rain, "this kind of final is broadcast live to the world, and countless advertisers sponsor it, and the postponement will affect the interests of TV broadcasters, so they will not agree to the postponement."

"But it feels terrible to play in the rain so much...... It's always uncomfortable to get wet." Column frowned.

"Don't worry, maybe by the time we get to the stadium, the rain will be light."

Looking outside, Lennon nodded, but his frown still didn't stretch.

The game George Woo. But when he got to the stadium, he had to go to see his mother in the VIP box. So Albertini will put back on the captain's armband in Wood's absence. He is the only person this group of young players can rely on and rely on, in fact he is the first captain of the team, but he is only out of action for a long time, injured and stopped. It makes people remember Wood as the captain.

Only three members of the current Forest squad have experience in the UEFA Champions League final, one being goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. At Ajax, he played in two Champions League finals, the first time for Ajax and the second time on penalties against Peruzzi goalkeeper Juventus.

The second local to play in the Champions Cup final was Nicholas, who was in an embarrassing situation. I guess he himself doesn't want to think about this Champions Cup final experience. It was he who scored in the semi-finals to help Real Madrid knock out Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. Listen to the finals. He played in the final and scored the first goal. Boiling + Teng + Literature Collection, but afterwards, when people recall this year's Champions Cup, they will only remember Raul's long-distance run of nearly 70 meters, and remember Redondo's stunning backheel pass against Manchester United. Remember Morientes, remember Hierro, remember ...... Many people, but no one will think of him Anelka, for Real Madrid fans. After a season at Real Madrid, Anelka scored only two goals in 19 games, and Anelka failed in an outright manner, and he still does so now.

The last man to play in the final of the Champions League was captain Albertini. Like Edwin van der Sar, he won the Champions Cup once, and the 93-94 season was the last afterglow of the Milan dynasty, and it was a return to glory.bsp Anelka is reticent and it is too difficult for young players to count on him to pass on his experience. Van der Sar was very helpful. But with Albertini here, he still has to keep a low profile. After all, Albertini is the captain and he is nothing.

Donn and Chrislak stepped out of the elevator and came to the middle of the assembled team.

"Get out, guys." He clapped his hands and the players got up.

"Chief, it's raining heavily......" someone complained to Donn.

Don shrugged: "It's useless for you to complain to me, I'm not God. But. You should be glad to say that."

Hear him say that. The people around me were surprised, why did it rain so much, and they would feel happy? Rejoice in what? What's so good about this bad weather?

Seeing the surprised eyes of the players around him, Don En smiled proudly: "When you are playing the ball and something falls above your head and you are driven to the cool ground, you know that it is dark clouds and rain, not a flock of birds that have eaten badly."

Everyone reacted and burst into laughter, and the depression caused by the bad weather went away.

"Well, seriously, the rain is good for us. Barcelona's old men are accustomed to sunny beaches. Definitely don't like the weather. Let's go! He beckoned. The players boarded the car with a smile.

No matter how worried Don was about this following history and raining down. In front of the players, he still jokes with ease, so that no one can notice his faint uneasiness inside.

"Yesterday it was sunny, and today it's raining heavily. The weather changes too quickly and suddenly, right? Ribery looked up and muttered as he walked past him.

"It's a strange summer weather." Zim Bonda explained in a serious manner behind him.

Hear the conversation between the two men. Donn looked up at the sky. Yes, yesterday and the day before yesterday, the weather was very good, and he and Shania ate ice cream in the sunny and somewhat vicious square, but the temperature dropped a lot today.

Is this providential?

Bah! Don spat in his heart. If this is really providential...... Kouhu, Lao Tzu will go against the sky today. 口桀口桀口桀口桀......

The heavy rain did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the fans of both teams, and the Stade de France, which can accommodate 80,000 people, was packed. Just like the roof of the stadium on the edge of the flying saucer, the stands are tightly covered, and the fans do not have to sit in the rain to watch the game, which seems to be a reason why it did not affect the attendance.

Nottingham Forest's fans poured out, making the small town of Nottingham almost empty. Barcelona has a larger population than Nottingham, and there are more Barcelona fans than Nottingham Forest, and in the stands of the stadium, they are red and blue over Forest's dark red. Most of the stadium is paved.

However, when it comes to singing, Barcelona fans are no match for England fans. When it comes to creating an atmosphere on the pitch, England fans are a well-deserved master, they don't borrow any modern means such as stadium broadcasting, but just use their voices to create a terrifying singing voice that makes their opponents tremble. This is a tradition of English football. It is also a place of pride for England fans.

Fan chorus is always the most exciting sound in the world.

At this moment, the outnumbered Forest fans are fighting with the Barcelona fans in the stands.

Since this match is played by an English team, it is bound to come to many England fans. So the Paris police have increased their presence a lot. Tension is high throughout the city. No one wants to recreate the tragic scene of the German football hooligans beating the gendarme Nivelle into a vegetative state during the World Cup. Fortunately, so far, there have been no reports and records of Forest's fans being drunk. Gavin has a good fan base in England, but the price is a bit too big and too heavy......

When the players are on the warm-up ground, the Forest fans sing the songs they have made up for the players, and these people even have the ability to make up the lyrics on the spot and sing them to the tune of the most popular song of the moment. In comparison, it would be a bit more monotonous to not be a Barcelona fan at Camp Nou.

George's own mother.

As the final, the whole team takes it very seriously. Don didn't stay in the locker room, but went to the sidelines with the team, braving the rain to inspect the field.

He went up and took two steps, then frowned.

"The drainage system is not bad, but the site is slippery." Next to Chris Rac gave the conclusion.

Don nodded in agreement.

"Go back and have them prepare long spikes for the earth shoes. It doesn't have much impact on us, but on Barcelona......" he turned his head to look at the opponent who was warming up at the other stadium. Rijkaard was also seen on the sidelines. It seems that the water and turf conditions on the pitch are also being investigated. He couldn't see the expression clearly, but from the way the Dutchman kept his head down, he could tell what the opponent's head coach was feeling at this moment.

Barcelona is the epitome of the art of football, they are used to keeping the football at their feet, and 90% of the time the football is rolled on the ground. Ronaldinho, Messi, Eto'o, Deco, Xavi...... These are all technical football representatives and they should rely more on the field and weather than the Forest team. Precise ball control, dribbling and passing require the right conditions, and slippery conditions can be very restrictive and restrictive to their swings.

So, this bad weather seems to be better for Donn.

Deal. I, Nottingham Forest, play traditional soccer with you, keep the ball flying in the air, and then disrupt the rhythm of Barcelona's attack with body and rude fouls, dragging you into the rhythm we are most accustomed to and the best at it.

If this sudden heavy rain is really providential, I don't know who it is providential......

Donn didn't stay on the sidelines for long, and after learning what the field was like, he turned around and went back to the locker room. Use a dry towel to wipe off the rain on your head and face. Hang your wet jacket on a hook and wait for the players to come back.

The warm-up was soon over and the players returned to the dressing room at 66. The coaches were drying the towels for the players, and the dry jerseys were already hanging on the hangers in the locker cabinets in the dressing room. for them to put on.

Compared to when you were on the ground in the car. Now the players are visibly nervous and talk less. Most people choose to be silent at this time.

Don sees it all in his eyes.

"Nervous, guys?"

And no one answered him. But everyone paused.

"I'm nervous too." As soon as Donn said this, the people who had stopped laughed and went on with their own work.

"Hurry up and get nervous now, and forget that word when you get to the game." The team members change their clothes. Rubbing his head, Don also said to himself. It rained well and the people of Barcelona were more nervous than we were in this weather. Did anyone just see Rijkaard's expression? ”

He laughed twice in a hoarse voice.

When everyone is done with what they are doing, sit down and face them. Tang Encai continued:

"Play the way we're used to."
