Chapter 340 Not favored

On the day of the final, a glimpse of Switzerland's largest newspaper broke a big news. Four masked men with guns broke into the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, yesterday, taking eight staff members hostage, and asked UEFA to give them tickets for the 2000 UEFA Champions League final held today. Swiss police said, "This may seem incredible, but these people seem to be here for tickets." Four robbers broke into the UEFA headquarters at about 10 p.m. on the 23rd, then pointed guns at the staff and ordered them to squat under a table. According to the police chief of the Swiss city, "They said, 'We want to meet the president of UEFA, we want tickets'." Swiss reporters reported that the hostage-taking man pointed a gun at a hostage's head and shot him in the foot. The whole incident ended in less than 10 minutes, and no one was injured in the incident. The police immediately rushed to the scene and blocked the search, but could not find the two people.

The popularity of tickets, and the fans' extreme desire for tickets reflects the fans' desire for the dark horse and the king.

The Stade de France can accommodate 80,000 people, Alkmaar and Real Madrid have each been allocated 20,000 tickets, and the remaining 40,000 tickets are publicly sold to meet the needs of third-party fans around the world.

However, with Real Madrid's huge influence in the world and Jiang Mu's fans in China, these 40,000 tickets are just a drop in the bucket and can't meet the requirements of fans at all. On the black market, the tickets for the Champions League final have risen to 1,000 to 2,000 euros, 30 to 50 times the lowest ticket price, but This is also priceless. Even the live TV tickets in the cinema have been sold out. No wonder extreme fans will grab tickets with guns.

According to the French Immigration Bureau, in just three days, Saint-Denis, France, has flocked to nearly 100,000 foreign fans. The game began at 7:45 p.m. In the morning, the town of St. Denis was already overcrowded. Streets, bars and hotels, fans of all colors and languages were wandering around. Although Spanish fans and Dutch fans were not as notorious as English fans, the French police did not dare to be careless, almost every There are twice as many police officers on duty as usual at an intersection. In addition, there are also mounted police patrolling among fans to prevent fans from making trouble.

In addition to attracting ordinary fans, such a grand event has also attracted many football celebrities and businessmen. It is said that not only the president of UEFA will come, but also the king Maradona and Pele will also watch the game on the spot in the future. There is also news that Queen Beatrice of the Netherlands, who visited in France, may also come to watch the game on the spot. .

In the afternoon, the Queen's spokesperson confirmed the rumor that Her Majesty may come to see it for a while, but it will not be too long. Her Majesty hopes that Alkmaar can win glory for Dutch football and make a good start for the upcoming European Cup in the Netherlands.

Such a final naturally became popular in the media. When the Internet has not been widely used in people's lives, newspapers and TV are the main sources of information for fans. A week before the start of the game, the media was popular in the Champions League final.

In public opinion, all walks of life regard Real Madrid as a big hit. Maradona has played in La Liga and appreciates Bosk's Real Madrid very much: "Real Madrid has played a very beautiful football in the second half of the season. Whether they are injured or not, they can be full of self-confidence. My compatriot Redondo is a decisive figure in Real Madrid. If Alc If Marl pays too much attention to him, the other players of Real Madrid will have more opportunities. Real Madrid has many stars who can make a final sound, such as Raul, Anelka, and even defender Carlos.

Bayern coach Heathfield also believes that Real Madrid has a much greater chance of winning the championship than Alkmaar, because there are too many superstars in Real Madrid and has more experience than Alkmaar. He warned Jiang Mu with the experience of Bayern's elimination that this Real Madrid is difficult to play. He Our defense is very good.

Even the Dutch flying man Cruyff thinks that Real Madrid is very likely to win. Cruyff is not very popular with Jiang Mu. He thinks that what Jiang Mu plays is not Dutch football, but utilitarian football, but now Bosk's Real Madrid has the taste of full attack and full defense football. Cruyff said: "The champion will produce one every year. But beautiful football is eternal. The champion is a reward for beautiful football, not the other way around. Therefore, what I want is the victory of beautiful football, not which team to support.

It may be that Real Madrid's Champions League history is too brilliant. Even Pele did not support Alkmaar because his old opponent Maradona supported Real Madrid. He also believes that Real Madrid is likely to win their eighth Champions League championship, but Pele believes that the score will not be too big, and the only goal will be scored by his compatriot Carlos. He scored, "Carlos will use a free kick to determine the ownership of the championship."

At this time, the ball king Pele has not yet become a famous crow. He and Maradona are optimistic about Real Madrid, which also makes public opinion more inclined to Real Madrid.

European gambling companies are also optimistic about Real Madrid winning the championship. The odds given by BWIN are 1.40 for Real Madrid, 2.80 for Alkmaar, and twice as much as Alkmaar. William Hill set Real Madrid's odds to win the championship at 1.83, the regular time draw odds at 3.5, and Alkmaar's odds at the championship at 3.6.

It is said that Jiang Mu is very hot, and Jiang Mu is naturally willing to push the boat. Since reaching the finals, Jiang Mu has been saying: "Real Madrid is a super popular. Our goal is to reach the finals. Now that we have achieved our goal, and winning the championship or not is a victory."

But Bosque is not willing to be roasted by Jiang Mu on the stove. He said, "It would be a huge mistake to think that he is popular. The final is unique. Alkmaar is now the super strong team in the Dutch League, and the level of players is not low. They are good at overall fighting. They have more goals in the Champions League than we are. We have no psychological advantage.

Although Anelka said that Real Madrid would follow the example of Galatasaray in the final and attack football to defeat Alkmaar, Bosk smiled faintly: "This is not a specific problem of play. The only thing we know is to score one more goal than the opponent, or lose one less goal than the opponent. Football is A serious game. To play is to enjoy football and to have fun, but to show seriousness in work, collectivism and strategy. I think the best way is to maintain a balance between enjoyment and diligence. Playing Manchester United, against Bayern, and being careful to unite and cooperate, this is the main reason for our victory.

Although the whole world is not optimistic about Alkmaar winning the championship, and although the whole world is supporting Real Madrid, Alkmaar's fans and players still firmly believe that they can create miracles, because they have the magical Jiang Mu. Jiang Mu has the ability to turn decay into magic. In their opinion, on the football field, Jiang Mu is omnis everything. Yes.

During the morning training, there were nearly 20,000 iron poles of Alkmaar in the stands of the French Stadium. The stands were full of banners such as "We are champions", "Kle kill Real Madrid" and "the first crown in history".

The players are also encouraged. They perform very easily on the court, as if there is no pressure at all. They often play some very fancy movements and cooperate with them.

After the training, Ronaldinho, Tomarson, Lucio and other players were also interviewed by reporters. In the interview, Alkmaar's players also showed strong self-confidence.

Ronaldinho said, "I know that the whole world is not optimistic about us, but this does not mean that we will definitely lose. I believe we will win. We are the champion of the Dutch League. Real Madrid is only the fourth place in La Liga. Can't we beat Barcelona and Valencia, the second and third place in La Liga, can't we beat Real Madrid?"

What Tomasson said is also rude. "In the just-concluded League Cup final, Turkey's Galatasaray was not favored, but in the end they defeated the popular Arsenal 4:1. We respect the history of Real Madrid, but history is created by people, and we will win a new history."

Because Lucio is a defensive player, he should be cautious. "Real Madrid as a whole is very strong and awesome." We must be vigilant against every player of them, not just Raul, Morents, Redon and others. Their attack power is very strong, and their defense is very strong. They are a respectable team. It is an honor to play against them. Of course, it is a greater honor to beat them.

In the afternoon, after Alkmaar's last training, under the auspices of UEFA, Jiang Mu and Bosque attended the pre-match press conference at the Grand Stadium in France.

This is the first time that the two head coaches who are about to start the battle have such a close contact. When they meet, Jiang Mu is not as reruly as on TV and newspapers, nor is he so mysterious and magical. From his appearance, he is like a college student who has just joined the work, but his calm look and control everything. The aura makes people know that this is not an ordinary person.

After the two head coaches shook hands, Bosk first spoke. He first announced the team's starting lineup, which was exactly the same as Jiang Mu's guess.

"Damn, it's really such a lineup!"

"How can we play this game!"

"This Chinese is so amazing!"

After Bosk's announcement, all the reporters were in an uproar. They looked at Jiang Mu like a ghost. Envy, jealousy and hatred surged up in their hearts. Many reporters were thinking that if I could guess so accurately, I would immediately become famous.

After Bosque announced Real Madrid's starting lineup, Jiang Mu also announced Alkmaar's starting lineup. There is only one position wrong with Bosk's prediction, which also makes reporters look at Real Madrid's father Bosc's ability, because in the eyes of many people, Real Madrid's excellent results are only because of their The player's level is too high. In fact, the coach's ability is very average. If Bosco is really capable, he should be corrected when he was a firefighting coach the first two times. In fact, Bosque is the kind of powerful but low-key coach, and it is normal to be looked down on.
