Sure enough, the next day, newspapers around the world were reporting what had happened at the Anfield stadium last night.

Reds captain Steven Gerrard was suspended for a yellow card, missed the Champions League final, and the picture of Gerrard crying on the pitch last night was deeply engraved into the hearts of fans around the world and resonated with countless fans.

On the Internet, overnight, there were so many requests for the revocation of Gerrard's yellow card suspension, and even the official UEFA website almost came to a halt because of this, all in the hope that UEFA could prevent this tragedy from happening.

"For countless players, the Champions League final is likely to be the most dazzling stage of their lives, equivalent to their World Cup final, and how many World Cup finals can a player have in his life? How many Champions League finals will you have? ”

'We should try to present the best football on this best stage possible, and let the best players play on it and show the charm of football, so we all hope that UEFA will consider revoking Gerrard's yellow card suspension.'

That's what Yang Cheng made in an interview with German Kicker magazine last night.

But it was also last evening that Platini, a member of the UEFA executive committee and chairman of the disciplinary committee, said in an interview with television reporters that Yang Cheng's appeal about Gerrard's yellow card and suspension was simply unreasonable.

"When we have a set of rules and we have them running across Europe, and even from football leagues around the world, we should follow that set of rules instead of thinking that we deserve extra care."

It is obvious that Platini is righteously trying to accuse Yang Cheng as the spokesperson of UEFA at this time.

As for the Champions League final, Liverpool reached the final again after 20 years, and met Juventus, the opponent 20 years ago, as the time when he personally scored a penalty for Juventus and helped the Bianconeri win the Champions League, Platini said that he was very optimistic about Capello's team.

"As a footballer, I have learned three lessons over the past few decades, and only by achieving these three points can I win the Champions League, especially in the all-important Champions League final, which is indispensable."

"First of all, there is definitely a need for a manager with rich experience, which I think Yang Cheng will be slightly ahead of Capello, but the gap between the two is not big, Yang Cheng is relatively young, but he has three Champions Leagues in hand, which can be called the first person in the Champions League, but Capello is also very experienced, so the two are about the same."

"The second point is that I think the player's experience in the tournament is also very important, especially in this kind of final, if you don't have enough experience, as soon as you walk into the stadium and feel the attention of hundreds of millions of fans around the world, and your psychological quality is a little worse, you may collapse."

After a pause, Platini added: "A lot of great players are like that, they can do really well in the league, in the cups, in other games, but when it comes to the real crunch moments, like the World Cup final, for example, the Champions League final, they can't withstand that crazy pressure. ”

"For the second point, I think Juventus is better than Liverpool in every aspect, and even many players in the Liverpool team are reaching the semi-finals for the first time, plus they are relatively young, not as calm as Juventus, so in this regard, Liverpool is inferior to Juventus."

"The third point, a solid backline, this can be said to be Juventus's strength, looking at the current football, there are really few teams that can overwhelm Juventus defensively, Capello's ability to adjust the defense is a must, and it is precisely the solid defense that has created Juventus's brilliant record this season."

"On the contrary, Liverpool, although this team has done a good job defensively, but in fact, compared to Juventus, it is still inferior, at least in terms of defensive system and stability, it is inferior to Juventus."

After commenting, Platini smiled: "Looking at these three aspects, I think Juventus will be the number one favorite for this European championship, plus Liverpool's soul Gerrard will be absent from the final, which will bring a devastating blow to Liverpool's strength." ”,

The TV screen switches to the live broadcast room, and the host has a signature smile, which is very sweet, but a little mechanical.

"It's not just Platini who thinks Juventus can win the championship, but even in terms of odds, several large European bookmakers are also optimistic about Juventus, and the odds offered by BWIN, the ratio between Juventus and Liverpool is 1.40:2.80, and the old woman is twice as good as the Reds."

"William Hill has just adjusted the latest odds, Juventus are 1.83 to win the title, 3.5 to draw in 90 minutes, and Liverpool to win the title is 3.4, which is also a big margin."

'Obviously, everybody felt that Liverpool's overall fighting power was going to drop dramatically after losing Steven Gerrard, and it was almost a final that was seen as one-sided.

Early this morning, Cruyff made his decision in his column, and the headline he used was, a Champions League final that lost suspense, and the Bianconeri must win the Champions League; And AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, who was eliminated by Liverpool, also said that Liverpool does not have the strength to win the Champions League today, and Juventus is even better! ”

"Although there are still 20 days to go before the Champions League final, we can expect that the topic of the Champions League final will continue to be debated in the coming period."

……

When Sienna heard the movement of the door opening downstairs, she knew that Yang Cheng must have come back from a morning run, so she immediately ran to the front of the sofa, picked up the remote control, and turned off the TV directly.

When Yang Cheng came up, he happened to see her wiping the coffee table in the living room, her slender legs were close together, and her plump buttocks were raised high, this picture couldn't help but remind Yang Cheng of the little hot girl who lifted the hood in [Transformers].

With a snap, Yang Cheng walked over, slapped her plump buttocks heavily, and said with a smile: "Go away a little, beauty!" ”

Sienna was slapped in the face, glared back at him in some pain, and snatched it with one hand to remote control, "Go take a shower, it smells of sweat." She knew that Yang Cheng was not in a very good mood and didn't want him to see the news on TV.

Yang Cheng just sat down, shrugged his shoulders after hearing this, stood up again, and went to take a bath.

I took a shower, changed into dry clothes, and when I came out, a hot breakfast was ready.

"I've decided!" Sienna said as she ate her breakfast.

"Decided to lose weight?" Yang Cheng asked coldly.

Sienna gave him a blank look, "Do I still have to lose weight?" Where do you need to reduce? She deliberately stood up, holding her chest with both hands, revealing her beautiful figure, very well-proportioned, the only thing that is missing is that her chest is not plump enough, so she has to use both hands to support it, so she can be a little taller, as for other places, there are really no shortcomings.

"Or do you decide what to do?" Yang Cheng saw her like this and asked with a smile.

Sienna looked like you were changing the subject, "I decided to shoot a set of fan photos for Liverpool to support Liverpool to win the championship!" ”

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then put on a very serious expression, "Are you wearing clothes?" ”

Sienna almost went into the glass of milk in front of her again, she really had the urge to drown it directly, "Of course there is, nonsense, I'm not the third page girl of the Sun!" ”

"It's a pity!" Yang Cheng sighed.

"What a pity?" Sienna had a premonition that this guy had bad intentions, but she still asked.

"It's a pity that you have to wear clothes, if you don't wear them......" Yang Cheng's pair of thief eyes aimed at her like this, as if she had a perspective function, which made Sienna feel uncomfortable.

When Sienna heard this, she suddenly came over and asked with silky eyes: "Or, I'll come back with a camera another day, and you can help me shoot?" ”

It's such a tempting suggestion that you should really consider considering, especially if you shoot some big close-ups......

But just when Yang Cheng was about to agree, he suddenly remembered Brother Guanxi, and immediately shook his head like a drum, "Hehe, I don't have the interest of Brother Guanxi!" "Ever since the X-Shot, he's instinctively shadowed the photo.

He can avoid taking normal photos, and he doesn't even think about those abnormal photos.

He doesn't want one day, a compressed package of dozens of MB will appear on the Internet, all of which are nude photos of himself, which will be terrifying, and he will be a shadow for the rest of his life. ,

"By the way, what kind of photo did you say you wanted to take?" Yang Cheng hurriedly changed the topic.

Talking about this kind of topic that is not suitable for children early in the morning is a big test for any normal man.

"Solidarity photo, I wear a Liverpool shirt to take a few pictures, this kind of thing is something that many star fans of Premier League teams do." Sienna replied.

"Are you a Liverpool fan?" Yang Cheng said.

"I'm your fan, that's it!" Sienna took it for granted.

Yang Cheng thought about it and was right, "Then shoot it, but don't be too artistic!" ”

He is still very cautious about his own woman, for fear that she will accidentally show more flesh.

"Am I that casual?" Sienna gave him an angry look, she was used to this guy's conservatism and possessiveness, in the end, he was a machismo.

"It's not usually, it's just ......" Yang Cheng squeezed his eyebrows ambiguously, with an expression you understand, "It's not a person to get up casually!" ”

Sienna almost spilled the glass of milk in her hand and drenched the girl to death.

…………

…………

There are still 20 days to go before the Champions League final, but there are a lot of things that must be started as soon as possible.

For example, the team's training in Turkey, the hotel where they stayed, and so on.

Yang Cheng has always been a very detail-oriented person, and he decided to let Paul Beyer and the club's administrators make a personal trip to Turkey to inspect the hotels and training grounds that have been targeted, as well as to get a glimpse of the local situation.

For this matter, Yang Cheng handed over all the training on the afternoon of the 5th to Benitez and other assistants, and went to Anfield Stadium to discuss with Rick Parry and David Morse.

This afternoon, UEFA also sent a fax, asking Liverpool to cooperate with UEFA's publicity department to use the next 20 days to warm up for the Champions League final, and also sent a simple process for the Champions League final.

Unlike other Champions League finals, this year's Champions League final was a 20-year hiatus between Juventus and Liverpool, so UEFA had to hold a brief memorial service before the final.

Yang Cheng does not have the slightest opinion on this point.

'I hope that in the coming period of time, the management will be able to work with the team and everything we do next should revolve around the FA Cup and Champions League finals.

Yang Cheng's words were nodded in support by Rick Parry and David Morse.

"Don't worry, if you have any need, just ask, the club will support you unconditionally!" David Morse was even more direct.

For Liverpool, reaching the Champions League final is no less important than a league title, especially when their opponent is still Juventus, and Liverpool is holding their breath and wants to kill the old woman.

That's a good thing, but it's a bad thing if you don't get the scale right.

If a player is too eager to win and too eager to beat their opponents in the game, it is likely that this will be used by Juventus, who are not AC Milan, and Fabio Capello's side have a near-perfect defensive system.

"By the way, have you thought of a replacement for Steven?" Rick Parry asked with concern.

The UEFA fax has made it clear that Gerrard's suspension cannot be changed, meaning that Liverpool must play this final without Gerrard, which is a big test for the Reds.

Yang Cheng shook his head, stood up, and walked to the window, just in time to see the sun setting in the distance, outside the Shankly gate below, there were more Liverpool fans who came here today than usual.

Every game, even in normal times, there are many old Liverpool fans who come here to commemorate those comrades who suffered misfortunes in the past, so the flowers in front of the Hillsborough tragedy memorial have never stopped, as if this group of Liverpudlians has never forgotten the hatred and shame.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself!" David Morse walked up to Yang Cheng's side, smiled and patted Yang Cheng's shoulder, and encouraged.

Caesar smiled, not making a sound. ,

To be honest, no matter who it is, they can't ask Yang Cheng for more.

Although Liverpool has a slim chance of winning the league title this season, the second place in the league is already as stable as Mount Tai, and Yang Cheng's team has reached the Champions League final, even if it does not win the championship, it is an honor, and it will also bring Liverpool huge financial revenue.

Champions League income aside, the €50 million that Yang Cheng saved from the transfer market, plus the club's stadium operations in the Champions League, such as ticket and matchday revenue, are enough for Liverpool to pay off their debts.

In other words, Liverpool's Champions League revenue from UEFA will become the club's surplus after the end of the season.

And just now Yang Cheng also said that he is not very demanding in the summer transfer market, because he is very satisfied with the team's squad, so the club will use this huge amount of money for other purposes, one of which is to prepare for the construction of a new stadium.

In the past two seasons, Liverpool has not invested much in all the Premier League teams, and it can even be said to be relatively small, but it has won many titles such as the League Cup and the Premier League title, and is even expected to win the Champions League and FA Cup this season.

Judging from the results alone, no one can put forward any critical opinions on Yang Cheng.

And now Liverpool from the lineup, the value of the players has soared one by one, and the valuation of the entire team even exceeds Chelsea, ranking first in the Premier League, from this point of view, Yang Cheng has undoubtedly brought earth-shaking changes to Liverpool.

David Morse and Rick Parry are well aware that their decision to sack Houllier two years ago and bring in Yang Cheng is arguably the most correct and wise decision they have made since taking charge of Liverpool.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Seeing some silence, Rick Parry immediately spoke, left his desk, and walked over, "Have you ever thought about inviting someone to the Champions League final?" ”

Yang Cheng thought for a while, "Give me a few when the time comes." ”

Rick Parry nodded and agreed, at least a few dozen for the manager.

"Tickets are in short supply this year!" David Morse was a little serious.

In the decisive battle of Heisel that year, there was also a shortage of tickets, and almost all finals related to Liverpool would be in short supply, because Liverpool fans will always be so crazy in this regard.

UEFA gave Liverpool 20,000 tickets, but according to the club's preliminary estimates, Liverpool's demand is between 40,000 and 50,000, which means that if there are enough tickets, Liverpool fans can fill the Stadium of Atatuk, but even if there are only 20,000 tickets, there will still be more than 10,000 Liverpool fans going to Istanbul.

They will seek black market tickets there, and although the price will often be much higher than the original price, they will be willing to take it all upon to see the final and witness the historic moment for themselves.

The reason why the Heysel tragedy happened that year was also because many Liverpool fans and Juventus fans could not get tickets from the official, so they went to Heysel to buy some neutral black market tickets, and as a result, UEFA and the organizers did not do a good job in organizing this aspect, which directly led to Juventus fans sitting in the area of Liverpool fans.

"I just spoke to Juventus on the phone and we both had the same idea, which is to appeal to each other's fans as much as possible to be calm and rational during the game." David Morse remembered the events of that year, and it was somewhat sour.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Things have already passed, people, you should look forward!" ”

"That's why we're doing everything we can to restrain the fans!" David Morse laughed and said that if something happened, the club was responsible for the fans.

Yang Cheng also smiled, he knew that it was really not easy for Liverpudlian people to take this step, at least it proved that the knot that had been entangled in their hearts all this time was being unraveled.

"But don't worry, you can be friendly off the pitch, but inside the stadium, we won't be polite to Juventus!" David Morse said with a smile.

Yang Cheng and Rick Parry both nodded their heads and laughed.

Everything is improving in the team, how they hope that at this time, there can be a Champions League, which will greatly stimulate Liverpool, so that this aging team can bloom again with dazzling brilliance and regain its life...... ）
