Long live the King of Balls

Chapter 165 We Are the Champions 7

The two sides in the Champions League final are Inter Milan and Manchester City.

However, when people mention this final at this moment, they are not only talking about Inter Milan and Manchester City, but also Real Madrid. This is not only because the final of the UEFA Champions League starts at Real Madrid's home court, but also because, whether it is Inter Milan or Manchester City, there are too many stories between the two teams and Real Madrid, too many origins, and too many subtle things.

First of all, it seems that we need to thank Real Madrid for being able to reach the final. Inter's best player in the Champions League is Sneid. So far, Sneed has scored three goals and five assists in the Champions League. These five assists are very important. In addition, Sneid's three goals are the key goals to determine the outcome of the game, helping Inter reverse Kiev to win the key group qualifying game, eliminating the Central Army through the quarter-finals and defeating Bayern Munich. Win the semi-finals!

It can be said that it is Sneid's outstanding performance that helped Inter Milan reach the Champions League final, and even Bayern Munich can reach the semi-finals. It should also be thanks to Real Madrid's gift. Robben's performance is the guarantee for Bayern Munich's entry into the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Last summer, in order to realize the superstar strategy, Real Madrid gave two Dutch stars, Sneid and Robben, to Inter and Bayern, in order to eliminate their predecessor's dissidents. Sneed, who joined Real Madrid for 27 million euros, was sold to Inter for 15 million; Robben, who joined Real Madrid for 36 million euros, was sold to Bayern for 25 million. After owning Sneide, Inter Milan found a midfielder who had been looking for for many years; after having Robben, Bayern finally had two wings. These two players play a central role in Inter and Bayern. To get these two stars at a low price, Inter and Bayern need to thank Real Madrid.

Roben's Bayern Munich was eliminated by Sneed's Inter Milan in the semi-finals. Now, Inter Milan has reached the final. For Sneid himself, this Champions League final in Bernabeu will also be a special experience. Sneid was swept out by Real Madrid last summer and suffered great humiliation. He was bent on proving himself. A year after the transfer, the Dutchman led the team back to the Champions League final, and the final was held at the home of Real Madrid. It can be said that for Sneeder, no matter what the final result is, he has a reason to hold his head high. Because he has told the world that he is not a loser, he is also a hero.

As for Manchester City, Robinho and Ronaldo in the team used to play for Real Madrid. Ronaldo joined AC Milan after being swept out by Real Madrid. Robinho was often replaced in the game because of dissatisfaction and fired at the senior management of Real Madrid, and was finally defeated by Real Madrid. It was sold to Manchester City at a high price. It can be said that Robinho and Ronaldo were not so happy when they left Real Madrid. This time, the two reached the Champions League final with Manchester City and will play in Bernabeu, which can also be said to be a comeback. Especially Robinho, if Ronaldo no longer needs to deliberately prove himself, then Robinho obviously needs this final to fight back at Real Madrid.

It is said that Real Madrid is also the focus of attention now, because Real Madrid is coveting the core of the two teams, Inter Milan and Manchester City.

Real Madrid wants to buy Zhang Yang, which has not been news for a long time ago, especially to see Zhang Yang's perfect performance in Manchester City, especially this season, Real Madrid is still in the top 16 of the Champions League with Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, and Zhang Yang led Manchester City all the way, not only winning the Premier League and the English League Cup, but also reaching the final of the Champions League! How can such an achievement make Real Madrid crazy, which has always been coveted by Zhang Yang?!

During this period, the Spanish and English media have always been full of transfer rumors between Zhang Yang and Real Madrid. Although Manchester City is not short of money, will not sell people because of money, and will not sell the team's flag, and Zhang Yang also publicly said that he would not leave Manchester City, the media can always find 120 reasons to prove that Zhang Yang is likely to join Real Madrid.

Among them, Marca said with pride and affirmation, "It is almost impossible for a player on this planet to be unmoved when facing the invitation of Real Madrid..."

In addition, in the past two days, the front page of the Spanish media has been full of another piece of news: Inter Milan coach Mourinho will become Real Madrid's next coach! Marca published Mourinho's latest interview: "Real Madrid is so great that without Pope Martin, there will be a big gap in my career." At the same time, the Italian media pointed out that Inter Milan President Moratti tried every means to retain Mourinho, but these efforts have not been fruitful. Mourinho has recently been saying that he feels under a lot of pressure in Serie A and Italy, and he can't feel any happiness, which is the main reason why he wants to leave Serie A.

Compared with Mourinho's ambiguous attitude, the attitude of being entangled by the media is very resolute: How can you see that I will go to Real Madrid? I'm very good in Manchester City. We have won two championships and may also win the Champions League. These are the achievements that Real Madrid can't achieve. Why should I go to Real Madrid?!

This is not polite to the super giant Real Madrid, but it really makes many people, especially Barcelona's fans, relieved. If Zhang Yang joins Real Madrid, it will definitely be a nightmare for Barcelona.

The day of the final is getting closer and closer.

Finally, it is May 22, the match day of the 2009/2010 Champions League final.

The Bernabeu Stadium is brightly lit. The voice is boiling. The final of the European Champions League is about to kick off here.

Manchester City fans from the United Kingdom and Inter Milan from Italy entered from different entrances under the escort of the police.

However, even so, there is still something that the fans of both sides deliberately go to each other's 'terrog'. Whether it is Manchester City fans or Inter Milan fans, they are unwilling to show weakness in the face of each other's provocation.

In the words of the media: These are two teams that are extremely lacking in the sense of championship!

Needless to say, Manchester City won the Premier League for the first time in 42 years. As for the Champions League, Manchester City has never won the final, which is the first time in history. Before, they have not even qualified in the group stage.

As for Inter Milan, it has been nearly half a century since they won the Champions League last time, which is still the glory of the era of 'Greater Inter Milan'.

Therefore, the fans of the two teams that reached the finals this time are extremely excited.

The Spanish police in charge of the security of the Bernabeu Stadium can be said to be a great enemy. The reputation of Italian fans and the English media is not very good. English football hooligans are world-famous, and in fact, the reputation of Italian fans can also be said to be extremely bad.

The security staff really tightened their nerves and were really worried that some drunken fans would do something crazy.

When the fans of both sides were tense outside, the players from both sides had already appeared and began to warm up.

The warm-up is very simple and will be over soon. The players from both sides left and returned to their locker rooms for final preparations.

Van Basten is in the final battle mobilization before the game.

The tactics that should be mentioned were arranged a day ago. At this time, there is not much time, and he will not talk about it again.

"Which of you has experienced such a game?" Fan. Basten looked at his players.

The players subconsciously look at Ronaldo and Zhang Yang. Needless to say, Ronaldo is the best striker in the past decade. Zhang Yang is the captain of Manchester City, the flag of the team, and now he is one of the best stars in football.

Ronaldo shook his head.

Zhang Yang also shook his head, "I only played the semi-finals once, not the finals."

The whole Manchester City team, no player has experienced the Champions League final!

The team members looked at Van Basten puzzledly, and Zhang Yang also didn't understand. What did the head coach say about this? Doesn't it add to the tension of the whole team?!

Van Basten continued, "I know some of you must be very nervous now. They think that we are the first time to play in the finals, and we will be very nervous, and even their confidence in winning is a little shaken. But what I want to say is--" Van Basten snapped his fingers, "Our opponent, Inter Milan, there is only one player in their team who has played the final. That person is Eto'o, Zhang Yang. Do you think Etoo is better than you?

"Of course not." Zhang Yang said.

"That's right. You all think your captain is better than Eto'o. Now, except for Eto'o, the whole Inter Milan is no different from us. We are all the first time to enter the finals. It's the first time for players from a big family like Inter Milan to play such a game. You should feel for yourself. To be proud! Really, Manchester City's performance this season is enough to scare your opponents! They play the Champions League every year, but they didn't reach the finals until today. You are much better than them!"

There was a burst of laughter among the players. Hearing what Van Basten said, they relaxed nervously.

"Guys. Now we have a great opportunity! Win this game and stand at the top of Europe, and we will make history! Does anyone think this is a very impossible task?

"Of course not!" Zhang Yang led the whole team to shout.

"Very good! Then cheer me up! Win the game, just as you have been able to do before!!" Van Basten said loudly.

PS: Through the book review area, Zhu Tou learned that a book friend in Chongqing is now fighting against the disease. Zhu Tou is here to wish this book friend a speedy recovery. The disease is not terrible. As long as we have a cheerful mentality and scientific treatment, we will definitely be healthy. I hope Zhang Yang can continue to bring happiness to this book friend.

Come on, get well soon.
