Ti "Javier! ”

At Osasuna's Tahona training ground, the Osasuna players, who were chasing a ball to play and warm up, were startled by a shout from the sidelines. //**//

Unlike the top training bases of the big clubs, Osasuna's training ground is adjacent to the university stadium, which is very close to each other, and there is no closed isolation facility similar to that of the big teams, so the staff can come to the training ground as long as they enter the training base.

"There's an express letter from you!" The staff member grabbed a courier in his hand and shouted again towards the training ground.

Many players in the training ground were suddenly a little surprised, looking at the training ground, the one wearing a training uniform, his hair combed to the sky, but he had a sloppy beard, and he looked a little sloppy

How could he have a letter?

This should be the idea of many people!

There is no doubt that he was once Spain's star of hope, a sought-after top talent, known as the new Raul, with a prominent name, and when it comes to Portillo, all young players will be envious, because he broke all the youth team goal records held by Raul that year.

But now, he looks more like a sad person who has experienced vicissitudes, and his face rarely sees the sunny smile he had when he debuted, replaced by a sense of loneliness and helplessness that cannot be resolved.

Javier = Garcia = Portillo, Osasuna's No. 9 striker!

"From Madrid!" The staff shoved the letter into his hand, "Soft, it looks like something, isn't it a check?" ”

Portillo shook his head bitterly at the staff's jokes, he had cut everything off when he left there, and he never thought he would have any connection with it.

However, when I opened the envelope and pulled out the contents, it was a ticket for the Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, and there was a piece of paper with a sentence written on it.

May 27th, Real Madrid children, let's embrace the Champions League together!

Suddenly, for some reason, when he saw this sentence, Portillo's tears suddenly welled up, and he couldn't help but fall down involuntarily, and he couldn't help but resurface everything in his mind, a lot of the past that he thought he had forgotten, it turned out that he still remembered.

And it's still so profound!

Many players on the training ground noticed this scene, they saw that this seemed to never show much emotion, as if they didn't care much about anything, and even some dull teammates actually squatted on the sidelines and cried.

"You've been invited, haven't you?" A deep voice came from beside him.

Portillo raised his head and saw a fat figure, a manager who has always been very serious, even a little rough, Camacho nodded, he knew that as the former captain of Real Madrid, Camacho must have received this letter, and he would definitely go to this game.

"We're all Real Madrid kids, be strong, don't let people see jokes!" Camacho scolded majestically.

Portillo had a lot of respect for him, because he was one of the greatest players in Real Madrid's history, and quickly reached out to wipe the tears from his face and nodded heavily.

"Remember to book me an extra plane ticket to Rome!" Camacho said with a rare smile, but soon, he regained his usual seriousness, "But now, go back to training first!" ”

Osasuna are fighting for relegation this season, and the final round will be a crucial battle, so the whole team is very nervous.

Watching Portillo walk back to the training ground, Camacho also felt very uncomfortable. ..., Portillo was talented back then, known as a more talented young player than Raul, almost all Real Madrid fans were full of expectations for him, but no one thought that he didn't play at all, under Florentino's superstar policy, since Bosque left, he has completely become a marginal person.

Camacho didn't understand the feeling of being away from home, but he could imagine how hard Portillo had been hit by years of loan and hardship, and it was really hard to see a smile on his face, at least for now

"If it was Florentino, he wouldn't have done such a thing, would he?" Camacho's lips curled, he had been at Real Madrid for a while, and he certainly knew what Real Madrid was like under Florentino, but he also saw very well the changes that Real Madrid had made over the years.

At least from the fact that Real Madrid sent such a letter to all the former Real Madrid heroes and academy players, it is not difficult to see that they attach importance to the former players, as well as the changes and adjustments of the club's management policies.

It should be said that today's Real Madrid has returned to the road of football club from the former business operator!

In Zaragoza, not far from Pamplona, where Osasuna is located, Francisco = Pavon is knocking on the door of the office of head coach Marcelino.

Just this morning, he also received a letter from Madrid, which also included tickets for the Champions League final and an invitation with a copy of Florentino's own handwriting, but the most exciting thing for Pavon was the title, Real Madrid's child!

It's been a long, long time since that title was left for him!

The last time Real Madrid appeared in the Champions League final, Pavon was still in the Real Madrid team, but now, he no longer belongs to Real Madrid.

"Is there something wrong, Francisco?" Marcelino was slightly surprised when he saw Pavon.

"Can you give me time off on the 27th?" Pavon asked straight to the point.

Marcelino looked at Pavon Now as long as he talks about the 27th, everyone knows what it means, because the date of the Champions League final, no one will forget, it is a major festival for fans all over the world.

'You know, it's not easy for the team right now, we need to upgrade!' Marcelino said.

He is also under a lot of pressure, because Zaragoza offered him an annual salary of 2.4 million, which is the highest annual salary of the head coach in Spain, but compared with Real Madrid's Yang Cheng, his annual salary is not even a fraction of Yang Cheng's.

This is also a long-standing tradition in Spain, and the importance of the head coach is not appreciated!

But the huge annual salary also represents pressure, especially now that Zaragoza is not in a very good situation, Pavon is the team's main central defender in La Liga, and Marcelino does not want him to run back and forth

"I promise, sir will come back after watching the game, we will definitely be promoted, we will definitely be promoted to La Liga!" Pavon said with a rare look of confidence.

"Oh?" Marcelino looked at Pavon with some surprise because the centre-back has always lacked confidence.

"Trust me, sir!" Pavon said it again.

Marcelino looked at Pavin curiously, but couldn't find anything out of him.

Frankly speaking, Pavon is very capable, there is no doubt about it, Bosque was very optimistic about him back then, Florentino will propose Zidanega Pavon policy, this is not completely unreasonable, because Pavon does have a near-perfect central defender and technical characteristics, even now, his strength is still very good.

Pavon and Ayala, Marcelino's main centre-back combination this season, helped Zaragoza become the strongest defensive team in La Liga, but Pavon's flaw is also obvious, that is, a lack of self-confidence, and it is easy to make some bizarre mistakes in the course of the game, all of which should have a lot to do with what he suffered at Real Madrid that year. ..., and in the past year Marcelino had rarely seen Pavon attach such a strong importance to a thing, and give such confident assurance, which made him full of surprise, and he couldn't help but think that maybe he should be given a holiday.

With this in mind, Marcelino knew what to do.

"You don't have to train on the afternoon of the 27th and the morning of the 28th, but you have to show me the next game, otherwise... Marcelino didn't say what would have happened otherwise, but the meaning was clear.

He's always been a strong manager who likes to talk straight and he can do what he says

Pavin nodded heavily, "I won't let you down!" ”

With that, he turned and walked out of Marcelino's office.

Even Pavon himself didn't know why, anyway, after hearing that Real Madrid had reached the Champions League final again, and seeing Real Madrid send him such a letter, he felt that his originally empty heart seemed to be filled with something for no reason.

Yang Cheng once asked Antonio = Adan to convey that Real Madrid will always be Pavon's home.

"Is that what you mean, Mr. Yang Cheng?"

Like Portillo and Pavon, Getafe, Soldado, Callejón and others in Madrid also received such an invitation letter, in Valencia, Elgra also received an invitation, as well as Hierro and Bosque in the Spanish Football Federation, all Real Madrid people received invitations from Real Madrid.

How much is a ticket to the finals worth?

Not much, because UEFA arranges 20,000 tickets for each club to Real Madrid and Chelsea, but it is generally difficult to buy them on the market, and they can only go through scalpers, and one is probably a few hundred euros.

Wouldn't it make more sense to send tickets to these people in this way?

Whether the final is won or lost, no one knows, but Real Madrid did this, no matter whether they won or lost, they already won!

Reaching the Champions League final again after a 7-year absence, the tenth Champions League coveted by countless fans, these have made Real Madrid fans feel excited and excited, and King Juan of Spain = Carlos I said before that he would take the royal family to the Olympic Stadium to cheer for Real Madrid, hoping that Real Madrid can beat Chelsea and reach the top of Europa!

This also made tickets for the finals hard to find, and the scalpers made money one by one

As a participating club, Real Madrid can get 19,544 tickets in the six-person Olympic Stadium, but compared to Real Madrid's huge membership number, sponsor team, and celebrity fans from all walks of life, 20,000 tickets are really not enough.

"We've given away all the 20,000 tickets, but it's still not enough!"

In the Bernabeu's office, Piri shrugged helplessly.

To reach the Champions League final again, all Real Madrid people from top to bottom are very excited, especially Florentino, he now really feels that the introduction of Yang Cheng is definitely the most correct decision he has made in charge of Real Madrid for so many years.

"Although today is only the 25th, we have already arranged for some fans to arrive in Rome in advance through several airports in Madrid, Barcelona and Malaga, especially our sponsor Emirates, and then we will arrange for the rest of the ticketed fans to travel to Italy in an orderly manner."

Piri was talking to Yang Cheng, Florentino and others about the club's arrangements and progress.

"But we expect at least 30,000 more ticketless Real Madrid fans from all over the world to arrive in Rome, who will most likely not be able to enter the stadium!"

No one can do anything about this, after all, the capacity of the Olympic Stadium is so much, and some of the tickets left for sale are simply few for Real Madrid and Chelsea's Europa League. "But we have to be prepared, the Italian fans, especially the Roma fans, don't like us at all!" Piri said with a smile.

When Roma was bloodied by Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, this matter was ashamed of Roma fans, and Yang Cheng led Inter Milan against Lazio and Roma a lot of radical fans didn't like him at all, which made them stand on Chelsea's side in the final.

"Be sure to inform the Municipality of Rome and be careful!" Yang Cheng said worriedly.

Although the city of Rome is an ancient cultural city, it is actually one of the most racist places, and once the radical fans have drunk, what can't they do? The atmosphere in the Rome derby was very hot, both inside and outside the stadium, and there was no shortage of violence and fan clashes.

"Well, they've already started the prohibition in advance, and they'll be tightening security when the time comes!" Piri said.

After a pause, Piri added, "Based on the advice you provided before, we have chartered the Monte Maria Hotel in the Monte Maria district, which is very nice and only 4 kilometers away from the Olympic Stadium!" ”

Every time Yang Cheng goes to Barcelona, he likes to stay at the Juan = Carlos I Hotel, not because he wants to shoot the Spanish king's ass, but because this hotel is the closest to the Camp Nou, which can allow Real Madrid players to arrive at the stadium faster and reduce harassment.

The Monte Maria Hotel is located in the northwest of Rome, close to the suburbs, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the hotel is a bit similar to a country house, the location is relatively remote, only a small road can directly enter the hotel, which can avoid the players being harassed by fans in the hotel to the greatest extent, and prepare for the game with peace of mind.

"We have chartered a total of 72 single rooms and luxury suites, and we have scooped down a few floors, and we will have staff to patrol them to ensure safety!" Piri explained the arrangement.

This time, Real Madrid will let the players' families accompany them, which is also the practice of Spanish teams, but they will split into two flights, the family will arrive at the hotel on the evening of the 26th, and the players will go directly to Rome after a training session on the morning of the 26th, and on the afternoon of the 26th, they will have a training session at the Olympic Stadium to familiarize themselves with the playing field.

Yang Cheng made very detailed arrangements for the entire Real Madrid itinerary in Rome City, and even Real Madrid's two-day training session today and tomorrow, he focused on adjusting the state of the players, in order to make the players reach their best condition on the evening of the 27th.

Against Chelsea, there is no room for error, and even the smallest details can change the situation of the whole game!

Whether it is Real Madrid or Chelsea, although the list has not been announced, Yang Cheng and Mourinho know each other well, neither team has any players suspended in the semi-finals, and there is no injury attrition, only Yang Cheng announced before, Thiago = Silva was kicked by Rooney before the recurrence of the old problem.

But in fact, Rooney's kick was indeed very heavy, but the Real Madrid team doctor did a good job of protecting Thiago = Silva, the treatment was timely, the problem was not big, he missed training before, just to make him better play in the final, and he will be arranged for a radical cure in the summer.

This can be regarded as a smoke bomb released by Yang Cheng to the outside world!

"Reaching the Champions League final again in 7 years......" Florentino felt excited when he thought about it, looked at Yang Cheng, and looked solemn, "...... It's up to you! ”

Yang Cheng nodded, "I'll do my best!" ”

Frankly, against Mourinho, he is not sure of winning, but he is confident.

The toughest team in the world is the team that defends to the death, the bucket formation is the most difficult to break in the world, no matter how strong your offense is, you can't break the bucket formation casually, and Mourinho's defensive formation is more difficult to break than the average team's bucket formation, because he has almost limited every inch of space. ..., Yang Cheng's confidence comes from the improvement of the team's attacking power, and also from the team's increasingly balanced and mature tactical system, but whether he can break through Mourinho's defensive system, Yang Cheng is not very sure.

How to curb Real Madrid's attack, how to break through Chelsea's defense, how to limit weakened possession, this is laughed at by many fans as the three major problems in world football, so the confrontation between Real Madrid and Chelsea is known as a contest between offense and defense.

But now the outside world is arguing very much, and the two gangs who support Yang Cheng and Mourinho are fighting each other, after all, this represents two different tactical concepts, and the collision is naturally sparks, plus Yang Cheng and Mourinho are followed by a large group of fans and supporters, and the fight is naturally Mars hitting the earth.

This is undoubtedly a warm-up for the Champions League final.

On the contrary, the parties, whether it is Yang Cheng or Mourinho, seemed to be very low-key before the game, and the Portuguese did not have a war of words with the opponent before the game as before, but this time he did not accept interviews with reporters, but devoted himself to training.

The abnormality of the two has undoubtedly brought more mysteries to fans around the world, especially the lineups of the two sides, as well as the tactical arrangement, which makes all fans look forward to it.

After all, both of them can be called tacticians, and both teams are also outstanding, so such a contest is naturally interesting!
