Chapter 466 Overthrow Mourinho!
The Champions League final is scheduled to be held on May [-], that is, Wednesday, at the Stade de France in Paris, France.
This is to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Champions League, so the final venue will return to the final venue of the first UEFA Champions League [-] years ago.
Barcelona meets Chelsea. This is a duel between the two most powerful teams in European football today.
In La Liga, Barcelona established a leading position in the league early and won all the championships this season in one go, only missing the Champions League. Chelsea is also a strong Premier League player and won the championship ahead of schedule. Mourinho won the Premier League for two consecutive seasons. Both teams are currently the most popular teams in European football.
Such a duel naturally attracted the attention of fans all over the world.
Long before the game, the two teams had already begun to battle wits and courage.
Barcelona was originally scheduled to fly to Paris on a charter flight from Barcelona on Monday evening, and even the hotel has been booked in advance.
This made many media from all over the world squat at the airport, waiting for Barcelona to come out.
But who would have thought that Barcelona temporarily changed their minds and did not go to Paris as originally planned, but postponed until noon on Tuesday. On Tuesday morning, they still conducted a closed training session in Gamper Sports City.
When Barcelona's chartered plane suddenly landed in Paris, media reporters rushed to receive the news, but Barcelona quickly took a bus from the tarmac to a hotel near Versailles.
In order to avoid the harassment of media reporters as much as possible, Barcelona even arranged the hotel in the suburbs, and directly rented out the entire hotel for the use of players, their families, and club staff.
Not only that, like last year, Rijkaard also brought all the players of the first team, including the injured, to Paris.
"I hope that like last year, when the team won the championship, every one of you was there!"
At the critical moment, Rijkaard's words were quite provocative.
In terms of logistics support, the club used a heavy-duty truck with four fronts and eight rears to load a large truckload of supplies from Barcelona to Paris. In addition to the players' training equipment and ingredients, the most special thing on the truck was a bottle of oversized champagne produced in Catalonia.
As we all know, France is rich in wine and champagne, but Catalonia also produces champagne. Although it is not as famous as France, Barcelona would rather choose their own champagne than use local materials from France.
Last year when they went to Istanbul, Turkey, the team forgot to bring champagne. This year they reached the Champions League final again. Barcelona is no longer the youngster of last year. Today, Barcelona is going to be the first successful defense of the title since the reform.
When the team arrived in Paris, the supplies had already been delivered.
All Barcelona eats and drinks in Paris, all on this big truck.
……
Unlike Barcelona, Chelsea's pre-match preparations are also methodical.
The Blues arrived in Paris on Monday evening, trained in a football field near the hotel on Tuesday morning, and went to the Stade de France for training in the afternoon.
According to the itinerary, their training time for adapting to the venue was before Barcelona, and the two teams happened to be staggered.
After training in the afternoon, Mourinho attended the pre-match press conference.
For the upcoming Champions League final, Mourinho said that he is full of confidence, and the players can't wait.
The Portuguese madman is as proud as ever. He said that the reason why Barcelona won consecutive victories is because they have never encountered a real strong team, such as Chelsea.
As for tomorrow night's Champions League final, Mourinho said that his greatest hope is that the team can finish the game neatly.
"As long as we play with 11 men, we can definitely beat Barcelona!"
This is also a set of Mourinho's psychological tactics.
Barcelona is good at passing and holding the ball, and there are technical masters like Su Dong, Ronaldinho and Messi, who take more balls and hold the ball longer, while Chelsea are good at running and defending. The style of the Blues has always been tough and aggressive.
Mourinho's vaccination in advance is to put pressure on the referee.
If the Chelsea player is really sent off, wouldn't that be what he said before the game?
Then everyone will definitely guess, is there really something shady?
However, if the referee considers the impact and relaxes the law enforcement standards a little bit, it will be more beneficial to Chelsea, because they are an aggressive style of play, and the loose law enforcement standards mean that they can violate Barcelona to a greater extent and prevent Barcelona from taking the ball and organizing attacks.
It can be said that Mourinho's remarks are very clever.
Of course, to use the rebuttal words of Cruyff's column, this is called cunning little cleverness.
……
Su Dong was also invited by UEFA to attend the pre-match press conference.
At the press conference, he said that he is negotiating a contract extension with Barcelona, "There is no doubt that my future belongs to Barcelona!"
For the upcoming Champions League final, Su Dong is quite experienced.
He has won a Champions League in Valencia, reached the Champions League final in Barcelona for two consecutive years, and won one last year. Now, Sudong has reached the Champions League final for three consecutive years.
In this regard, Su Dong said with a smile that the most important thing before the final is to maintain a stable mood.
"Many people say that we are the favorites, but I don't think so, because in football matches, especially in such an important final, you never know how amazing your opponent will play, so there is no such thing as a favorite."
Regarding the current situation of the team, Su Dong said that he is not worried about technical and tactical issues, and he thinks there is no problem in this regard.
The real problem is psychological.
"I think we might be a little anxious."
Three days ago, in the final round of La Liga, Barcelona played the away game against Athletic Bilbao with all substitutes. As a result, they lost [-]-[-] in the away game. Logically speaking, this is nothing, but some players were still affected.
"I'm a little worried about this. If we can't control this emotion well and restore calm before the game, then we will definitely be affected by it and even ruined by it in the game."
Su Dong said that he can understand this pressure, because everyone is eager to successfully defend the title.
The Champions League has been restructured for more than ten years, and no team has successfully defended the title so far. Even if there are Juventus who have reached the Champions League final for three consecutive years, they have only won one.
The tyrannical Real Madrid has gathered superstars in the past few years, but between 2000 and [-], it was also snatched by Bayern Munich, separated in the middle, and failed to defend the title.
It can be said that today's Champions League competition is more brutal than ever.
In this regard, Su Dong suggested that the team should try to avoid external interference, "Don't think about the championship, don't think about history, just focus on the game, I know it is difficult, because I have been affected by this before, but we must do it."
When talking about his teammates, in addition to talking about himself and Ronaldinho, Su Dong also mentioned Messi.
"If someone still treats Messi as a rookie now, then he will definitely teach his opponent a lesson in the final."
"Maybe, Chelsea's defenders know Su Dong very well, but they don't know Messi!"
The media at the scene also laughed, thinking that Su Dong was deliberately promoting his best friend to the top.
After all, in Barcelona, Su Dong is the well-deserved number one superstar. Messi's status is not even as good as Ronaldinho, Deco, Xavi and Puyol. His performance is indeed good, but he is still young after all.
…………
…………
The next day, the morning of the final.
When Su Dong read the morning newspaper in the hotel, he found that almost all the media automatically ignored his words about Messi, and focused more on him and Ronaldinho.
"Leo, tell me, you have no sense of existence!" Su Dong casually handed a newspaper in front of Messi beside him, "I've already said that, and they still don't believe it, so, for tonight's final, you have to work harder and slap them in the face fiercely to let them know how good you are."
Messi glanced at the newspaper with a smile, "I don't need them to know how much I have, you just need to know."
"That's no good, I've said everything, you just let go and mess up their defense line, and make Mourinho so angry." Su Dong laughed.
He and Mourinho are the same agent, and they have a good relationship in private.
But there is no way, who made them opponents on the court now?
"Jose's style is very cautious. He doesn't say anything, but he will definitely pay attention to Messi." Deco played under Mourinho, and he knows the style of the Portuguese madman.
Don't look at him always pulling three to five to eighty thousand in front of the media, in fact, he is a seriously insecure person in his bones, so his preparations for the battle are very meticulous, and he will not miss even a single detail.
"It's okay, when the time comes, I'll open up the defense. You can defend boldly and see which unlucky guy is defending you." Su Dong was a little afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
Messi smiled shyly and didn't say anything more.
People who are familiar with him will get used to his shyness, but only those who know him will know that behind this shyness and low-key, Messi also has a little-known pride and competitiveness in his bones.
He has never been unwilling to be a queen, and the reason why he admires Su Dong is because of his relationship with Su Dong and the help Su Dong gave him, which makes him obedient and obedient to Su Dong.
If it were anyone else, Messi would have beaten him long ago!
"Don't worry, I will still be there at that time." Ronaldinho is also a dribbling madman, showing his buck teeth with a smile, "Leo, let's try to dribble as much as possible on both ribs, and see who is more threatening."
This time Messi was blunt and nodded directly.
The appointment was successful!
"Leo, don't be afraid, I'll help you." Iniesta expressed solidarity with his buddies.
Ronaldinho was stunned. Is this going to be two against one?
Coupled with a Su Dong whose buttocks have long been in the past, this...
Ronaldinho immediately looked at Deco with "bad intentions", and the latter scratched his head in embarrassment, "Don't look at me, I'm Portuguese now!"
Everyone present burst into laughter.
Even Ronaldinho himself was overjoyed.
