As the World Cup in Germany is approaching, FIFA has issued a requirement a year ago for all professional leagues to schedule the end of the tournament before the 15th to allow enough time for the national team to prepare for the World Cup.

The Premier League ended early, the last round was played on May 7, and Serie A and Bundesliga also ended their last round of the league on the 13th and 14th, among which in Serie A, the Bianconeri have recently been caught in a phone gate dispute, but Inter Milan did not show mercy to Juventus, beating the old lady to win this season's Serie A title.

However, there are exceptions, the final round of La Liga also ended on the 13th, but Barcelona has to pay off the debt for the previous easing.

Previously, due to the fact that there were only three days between the 34th round of the league and the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona hoped that the Spanish Football Federation could adjust the schedule on the grounds of preparing for the Champions League, and finally changed the match from April 23 to May 13.

So while all the La Liga teams are playing the final game, Barcelona is playing the 34th round of the league, which should be regarded as the Spanish Football Federation's special care for Barcelona, and their final game will start on May 21.

But it doesn't matter much, because Barcelona are currently as many as 12 points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, and they don't need to worry about the league at all, so even after the team lost 2-3 away to Sevilla, Barcelona are still full of ambition to prepare for the Champions League final.

However, as the final approached, the atmosphere on the training ground was getting more and more tense, as this time they faced a different opponent than before, they had to face the Barsac star. Yang Cheng.

Originally, this kind of training is open to the public, and the atmosphere of the team is usually more relaxed, but when it comes to group confrontation, perhaps due to too much involvement, Oleg and Motta are in a scramble, the Brazilian moves too much, Oleg almost fights Motta, and Puyol almost punches his teammates in a collision.

"I can understand the emotions of the players!" At the end of the training session. Speaking to reporters, Rijkaard smiled and said he didn't mind the tension getting up, "It proves that the players take the final seriously, and I don't think it's a bad thing that they have a bit of a conflict on the training ground, on the contrary." It means they're all in game shape in training and I'm happy for that. ”

Immediately, a reporter handed over the microphone, "Are you worried about affecting the harmony and unity of the team?" ”

Rijkaard shook his head, "They're all professionals, I don't think that's going to happen!" ”

"You rarely show up at the training ground during this time!" A Spanish journalist then asked.

Rijkaard laughed and nodded, "Yes, my opponent is very strong, and my assistants and I must give 120,000 points of attention." We're always in the office, watching the footage, studying the tactics, analysing all sorts of situations that might arise in the game, and I want to be able to keep everything within our control. ”

"Have you found a way to contain Liverpool?"

Rijkaard smiled and nodded, "Of course, as Yang Cheng himself said, there is no perfect team in this world!" ”

"But we have seen that Barcelona has been practicing defense and penalty kicks for the past two days, does this mean that Barcelona will adopt more prudent tactics in the game?"

Rijkaard shook his head. 'No, it's not like that, it's just regular training and we practiced set-piece tactics!'

'But before the knockout rounds started, against Chelsea, you said that Barcelona never practice penalties and defending on the training pitch as seriously as Chelsea. The reporter asked relentlessly.

Rijkaard didn't expect the other party to choke on him like this. After thinking about it, he nodded: "Okay, I'll admit it, but it's just a regular preparation, okay?" We have to anticipate everything on the pitch. Including a draw within 120 minutes of play time. ”

"But as far as I know, Liverpool didn't practice penalties!" The reporter said.

"Hey!" Rijkaard could see that this guy was here to make trouble, "You're an English journalist?" ”

"No, I'm Italian!"

Rijkaard slapped himself on the forehead, "Milan Sports Newspaper!" ”

"Yes!" The other party nodded, this newspaper is Yang Cheng's die-hard faction. ..., "Listen, man, Yang Cheng is Yang Cheng, I'm me, whether he practices penalty kick or not that's his business, it's nothing to do with me, OK?" "This time Rijkaard is really a little angry, at least he definitely doesn't want to be compared to Yang Cheng all the time.

But Rijkaard was Rijkaard in the end, he was angry, but he quickly calmed down and continued to answer reporters' questions, without the slightest anger because of what had just happened.

"May I ask Mr. Rijkaard, how is your main lineup arranged?"

"It's almost, it's almost decided!"

After that, there were a few more painless questions, and Rijkaard was even in the mood to laugh about them, but soon, another reporter stood up and asked a few questions.

"Mr. Rijkaard, you can hear that you seem reluctant to be interviewed by an English journalist, I am a correspondent for the Guardian of England, can you answer me a few questions?" He reported himself first and kicked the ball to Rijkaard.

The latter was reluctant in his heart, but with so many reporters present, he could not say, "If I don't answer your questions from English journalists, wouldn't that offend all journalists?"

This group of guys is the uncrowned king, and they have an amazing temper, and there are few people in the football field who can control them.

"Of course you can, but it's better to have something to do with our Barcelona and the game, I won't answer those irrelevant topics!"

Rijkaard also kept an eye on it, he didn't plan to answer any questions related to Yang Cheng, it was purely to plug himself, everyone knew that this group of reporters wanted to create Yang Cheng's topic in every possible way, at this time, talking about Yang Cheng's rights and wrongs, wouldn't it be clear that he would use his own face to play a trick on Yang Cheng?

Who would be stupid to do that!

"It's definitely about the game!" The Guardian correspondent said with a smile.

"First question, UEFA has just released the list of referees and assistant referees, do you know?"

As soon as this question was asked, everyone present immediately knew that there was a good show.

Rijkaard frowned. He knew very well that as soon as the list was announced, the outside world was in a mess, but he still nodded.

"This time the referee was the one who sent off Del at Stamford Bridge and Camp Nou. Norwegian referee Terje of Orno and Lehmann? Hauge, and the two linesmen and the fourth referee are also from Norway, and many of them say that the appointment of this referee is of great benefit to Barcelona, what do you think? ”

I have to sigh at the speed and convenience of the information age. As well as the omnipotence of journalists and fans, not long after the list was announced, everyone listed the six games that Hauge has managed in Barcelona in recent years, with Barcelona winning five and drawing one, especially the last two games. He sent two red cards directly to Barcelona's opponents, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Because of this, Hauge was given the title of Barcelona Fuxing.

But there is also a more interesting point that Platini said with a smile in an interview with reporters after the announcement of the referee list for the Champions League final, "For Hauge, the enforcement final is a huge test, especially to control the trend of the game, it is undoubtedly more difficult!" ”

That seems right. But if you look at it from a more conspiracy theory point of view, how to get Liverpool quietly and send Barcelona to the throne of the Champions League winner, this is the biggest test for Hauge!

But it is clear that Rijkaard does not share this.

AC Milan would have felt aggrieved to say that, as they were 3-0 at Anfield in the second leg after leading 2-0 in the first leg. And the referee on duty is Yang Cheng's friend Merck. "Rijkaard's words are also sharp.

"It's different, Mr. Rijkaard, the appointment of Merck, AC Milan agreed before the game, but Liverpool is very dissatisfied with the use of Hauge and linesman Bogan, thinking that this is an insult to Liverpool!" The correspondent of the Guardian reminded.

Bogan, this is an assistant referee who doesn't have much reputation. But after UEFA announced that he would accompany his Norwegian compatriot Hauge to officiate the Champions League final, he actually wore a Barcelona shirt in an interview with a Norwegian newspaper, saying that he was a die-hard fan of Barcelona and supported Barcelona to win the championship.

Yang Cheng also encountered this incident in his previous life. But he didn't remember the exact situation very well, only vaguely remembered that it seemed to be withdrawn, but this time, UEFA rejected Liverpool's proposal to change the linesman, on the grounds that the time was too rushed. "I don't know exactly what the situation is, but I don't think it's unfair to exaggerate things to an extent just because Bogan is a Barcelona fan, or even to deprive him of the Champions League final. ”

"Yes, maybe he's a Barcelona fan, but that doesn't mean he's going to be biased in the final, we should trust their work ethic!" Rijkaard said it very righteously.

"But Hauge did officiate Barcelona in the knockout rounds twice, giving Barcelona's opponents a controversial red card in both games, and with Bogan's pre-match remarks, it is inevitable that people will not be suspicious." The reporter said with a smile.

Rijkaard couldn't come up with a response for a moment, shook his head and said, "I won't give any comment on this matter, thank you!" After saying that, the Dutch seemed to be a little worried about the continuation of the journalist entanglement on this issue, and directly ended the public interview.

"Look, he's a little weak-hearted!" The Guardian reporter sneered at Rijkaard's back.

"Shut up!" Immediately, a Spanish reporter countered, and it was clear that it should be a reporter from Barcelona's die-hard World Sport newspaper.

The Guardian reporter turned his head, looked at his peers, and sneered disdainfully: "It's you who should shut up!" ”

"What did you say?" A reporter from the Daily Sports newspaper also stood up to support his comrades.

Daily Sports and World Sports are the mouthpieces of Barcelona and the staunchest supporters of Barcelona, and over the years, they have not fought with Yang Cheng and hated Yang Cheng to the core.

"Say you should shut up!" The reporter from the Milan sports newspaper just now opened up.

Then, I saw that the reporters at the scene suddenly stood clearly into three factions, with the neutral faction being the majority, and the Yang Cheng faction having as many as a dozen people. The Barcelona faction is only three or four, and interestingly, the same Spanish newspapers, Marca and As, are firmly supportive of Yang Cheng.

I believe that if it weren't for the security guards at the training ground to dissuade them, the two factions might have a big fight, and the Barcelona faction would definitely suffer.

No matter how much you can fight, you can't stand the crowd!

"Don't do it!"

When Yang Cheng appeared outside the Laureus Awards ceremony in Barcelona, he was blocked by reporters. When pressed for his opinion on the matter, he smiled and stopped reporters who wanted to help him out.

"There's no need, I'm mentally prepared for the difficulties that can come my way in this game, because defending the title is always very, very difficult. But my team and I are very confident that on the football field, absolute strength can crush all the intrigues! ”

Yang Cheng didn't say it explicitly, but it was clear that he was sarcastic and sarcastic about some people.

As for the scope of these people, and who they include, he is happy to let journalists run free to their imaginations.

Melissa on the side? Trio listened with a smile. I think this guy is getting more and more aware of how to use the media.

Tall and tall, she wore a black flat-chested dress, highlighting her charming shaved shoulders and thin waist, holding Yang Cheng with slender hands, holding a black handbag in the other hand, and stepping on a pair of simple and simple high heels under her slender legs.

The whole dress looks very simple, but when worn on Melissa's body, it is indescribably charming, and it killed the eyeballs and film of countless people at the scene. The photographers even took a hard shot at these two men and women who looked very compatible.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, did you come with Miss Trio as a special companion? Or did it happen by chance? A reporter asked with a smile, but this question means something else.

The two are scandalous men and women, Melissa has always been called the princess by Yang Cheng's fans, and she has always been very supportive of Yang Cheng, and recently she has been supporting Yang Cheng in her column and blog to defend the Champions League, which inevitably makes people reverie about the relationship between the two.

"We made an appointment!" Yang Cheng replied with a smile.

Melissa raised an eyebrow as well. The smile made Yang Cheng tighter, with a happy expression on his face.

"What is your relationship...... "A French male reporter asked heartbrokenly, feeling sorry for French men because their most beautiful women were about to be snatched away by others.

"Very, very, very, very good friend!" Melissa replied, but she used several very many in a row. It's ambiguous. ..., Yang Cheng sighed, this Nizi likes this, "Let's go in!" ”

Melissa nodded softly, took Yang Cheng's hand, and the two walked side by side to the venue.

…………

…………

The 7th Laureus Sports Awards ceremony was very eye-catching, attracting countless sports celebrities, showbiz and political dignitaries, and the organizers also wanted to make Laureus the Oscars of sports, so the red carpet was indispensable.

But as soon as you enter the venue, you will immediately feel that the stars are shining, Nadal, Federer, Hingis, Tiger Woods, Moses, etc., as well as countless sports celebrities, and because it is held in Spain, so Spain's political and business celebrities are also present to support this sports event.

In the field of sports, although football is the first sport, it is also the most eye-catching, and it is also the most appealing sport, but in the Laureus Sports Awards, football has always been relatively weak, because this year's Liverpool and Barcelona teams have entered the awards, which is somewhat surprising, especially since these two teams have reached the Champions League final.

Barcelona's Rijkaard and his entourage came to the venue one step earlier than Yang Cheng, after all, they are the hosts, and Laporta is also the honorary president of Lawrence, so they are considered hosts, and they should come early to cheer.

Yang Cheng is not so free, the time is in a hurry, but Rick? Parry and the others came early.

Although it was a late arrival, as soon as he walked into the venue, the combination of Yang Cheng and Melissa immediately attracted the attention of the audience, not only because of Melissa, the first beauty in France, but also because of Yang Cheng.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng, please come with me!" Immediately, a staff member greeted her, and she was responsible for taking Yang Cheng and the two to their seats, after all, there were many guests and audiences in the venue, and there must be order and management.

"Thank you!" Yang Cheng smiled and walked with her.

The two walked down the trapezoidal venue, and people kept greeting Yang Cheng along the way, some met a few times, and some were not impressed, but Yang Cheng still had to maintain a polite smile to greet everyone and nodded, but sometimes he couldn't say his name.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng!" A handsome-looking young man next to him stood up and stretched out his hand towards Yang Cheng with a smile on his face.

"Hello!" Yang Cheng responded politely, he didn't know about tennis, so of course he didn't know, this is tennis rookie Raphael? Nadal, a Spanish tennis player, is very famous and is currently ranked second in the world, but his uncle used to be the core of Barcelona's defense, and Yang Cheng is a sworn enemy, but he himself is a die-hard fan of Real Madrid.

"Hello, Mr. Nadal, I often go to watch you play!" Melissa on the side saw Yang Cheng's embarrassment, and knew that his man was a football maniac, and he basically didn't watch other balls except football, so he knew that he couldn't recognize Nadal and took the initiative to clear the game.

"Hello, Melissa!" Nadal is a fan of Yang Cheng and certainly doesn't mind.

After Yang Cheng listened, he realized who this young man was, laughed at himself, apologized to him, and did not twist at all, but won Nadal's favor.

"I'm good friends with Igor, and I'm a Real Madrid fan, but he mentioned your name to me more than once, and when I heard that you could come to Real Madrid to coach, he and I were crazy!" Nadal said with a smile.

Is Igor Igor? Casillas, Real Madrid's main goalkeeper.

"Uh...... It's just rumors! Yang Cheng was a little embarrassed.

Nadal was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, nodded and said, "No matter what, I'm your fan!" ”

Yang Cheng chatted with him with a smile and continued to walk forward, but along the way, a few Spanish sports celebrities and political and business celebrities took the initiative to greet Yang Cheng, and he wondered, could it be just a scandal to make himself famous in Spain?

However, when he came to his seat and sat down, the big man next to him took the initiative to come over.

"Hello, welcome to Spain, Caesar!" He smiled and said, "But please answer me seriously, when will you come to Real Madrid?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
