Chapter 645 The Miraculous Battle of Huo Village Begins
Different from Li Huan's Alizee in disguise, Stuart is still in her punk outfit, wearing sneakers, her hair is dyed black which Li Huan likes, standing there with a travel bag on her back, like a high school student traveling In fact, she is also at the age of high school.

When Li Huan got off the car beside her, Stuart rushed over excitedly, hugged Li Huan, and tried to take off Li Huan's glasses to have a look.

Li Huan quickly held down her hand, pointed to the crowds of fans pouring out of the airport, and said, "Do you want to be watched by them as a panda?"

Stuart said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, just pretend they don't exist."

Li Huan gave a wry smile and said, "Can we fight it?"

Stuart didn't wait for Li Huan to ask her where she was going, and said, "I'm hungry, take me to dinner, I want to eat authentic Italian pasta, pizza, the plane meal is terrible."

Li Huan nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't had time to taste it yet, let's get in the car."

After Stuart got in the car, Li Huan said to the taxi driver in English: "Help us find a spaghetti shop that you think is the most authentic. Don't take us around, this is an extra 20 Euro tip for you."

The driver was quite honest, and took the two of them to a spaghetti shop that was not fancy but very clean. The two ordered a 10 Euro macaroni each, but Stuart threw it away after eating half of it, and took Li Huan to the side Pizzeria to eat pizza.

After the two finished eating, it was getting late. Li Huan was worried that this girl would go to a bar, so he said, "Find a place to stay. The team stipulates that you must go back before 10:[-]."

Stuart didn't object, but said, "I don't think you look like a disciplined person."

Li Huan shrugged and said, "It's an extraordinary time. Tomorrow is the final. It will be too bad if I don't go back."

Stuart also knew that tomorrow's final was no small matter, so he didn't say anything more.

The two found a four-star hotel at the corner of the commercial pedestrian street not far from the Olympic Stadium. Stuart booked a single room on the second floor, then he and Li Huan hurried upstairs and entered the room, hung up the do not disturb Brand, a long absence is better than a newlywed, for the two of them, every minute and every second is precious now.

At about 10 o'clock, Li Huan walked out of the four-star hotel whose name he couldn't read. He was in a good state of mind and didn't look tired at all.After straightening his clothes, Li Huan raised his hand to hail a taxi and headed for Lagrave Hotel.

The next morning, Hoffenheim had an hour of training at the Olympic Stadium, then returned to the hotel for a meeting, had a nutritious meal at noon, and had the last adaptive training in the afternoon, followed by the last game before the game press conference.

This is the first official meeting between Rangnick and Guardiola, and also the first direct contact between the two teams after reaching the final.Rangnick finally felt the sharpness and courage of the young coach.

At the press conference, Guardiola expressed in person that he hoped to play against Hoffenheim. Guardiola said that since ancient times, there has been no famous game in the competition, and almost every Champions League game has been very dull. To catch the opponent's loopholes, instead of actively creating offensive opportunities. When both sides are like this, in the end, only penalty kicks can determine the championship. He hopes that Hoffenheim can play like a man.

Rangnick is not as sharp-edged as Guardiola's words. He said, "Barcelona is the representative of European offensive football. The incompleteness of their defense does not affect the level of Barcelona. Barcelona has never relied on his defensive success. And we Compared with Barcelona, ​​there is a big gap in technology, but although we will strengthen our defense, we will not stick to it, we don’t want to shoot a penalty shootout, we hope to win the Champions League trophy within 10 minutes or 120 minutes.”

After the press conference, the annual grand finale - the Champions League final, the highest level club competition in European football and even world football, finally entered the final stage of the competition.

Three hours before the game, fans wearing Barcelona and Hoffenheim jerseys, waving flags cheering for the two teams, shouting slogans or singing team songs, rushed towards the city of Rome like a tide. Even if it is the first time to come to Rome, foreign fans who don’t know where the Olympic Stadium is don’t have to worry about finding their way. After they get off the plane or train, they don’t need to walk around at all. will take him around the field for the final.

"Are there any tickets?" This is the most common sentence among the fans outside the stadium. Some fans even came directly from the airport to the stadium with their big suitcases. Consider the hotel thing.

The six temporary stores for official souvenirs set up by UEFA were crowded with fans. These fans basically did not ask the price, bought scarves, team flags and other souvenirs with money, and just waved them in their hands.

In order to allow Chinese fans to fully understand the UEFA Champions League final, the Imperial TV broadcasted the game live one hour in advance. Three professional sports reporters, including the famous reporter Jia Lei, were interviewing on the spot, and Send back the latest information to the imperial court at any time.

In the studio hall of Imperial TV, La Liga commentator He Wei, Bundesliga commentator Tao Wei, and guest commentator Zhang Lu formed the strongest combination. The lineup is so strong that only the World Cup can be compared.

When the fans outside the arena gradually entered the arena, the three commentators were introducing the ins and outs of the game, various tidbits, and various rumors to the fans in detail, hoping that the anxious fans could reduce their anxiety a little.

He Wei said: "The referee of this game may be more favorable to Hoffenheim. The Swiss Busacca, he used to officiate the battle between Manchester United and Barcelona last season. In the end, Barcelona was eliminated by Manchester United and Manchester United won the championship. "

Tao Wei said: "Assistant referees are also Swiss. Swiss football is somewhat similar to the Bundesliga. For example, Bayern's meritorious coach Hitzfeld once coached the Swiss. The standard of refereeing in Switzerland should be closer to that of the Bundesliga."

Zhang Ludao: "I think referees are also very important, but referees generally let the game run normally, and they don't decide the direction of the game. We should mainly discuss the starting lineup and formation of the two sides."

Tao Weidao: "Director Zhang, due to injuries and suspensions, there are three previous main players in Barcelona's defense that cannot appear in the final: Marcos, Abidal and Alves, Henry and Iniesta are also injured. In the body; the absence of Barcelona personnel is so serious, how do you look at this problem?"

Zhang Ludao: "Barcelona's defensive problems are fatal. Even if they are well-organized, they know that this is their weakness. At the same time, they also understand that even if an hour has passed in the game, Hoffenheim send a group of strikers to break through. Their gate. Therefore, this is indeed a serious problem for Barcelona. But I think Alves may still play, and Guardiola cannot be underestimated. Although he is a rookie, he is very scheming and cunning. "

He Wei is very familiar with La Liga, saying: "If Guardiola is a "rookie", then he is also a "rookie" produced by Barcelona. He grew up in Barcelona, ​​played for Barcelona, ​​​​and now works for the club. Speaking of coaching Barcelona, ​​​​you are familiar with it. You may not think that Guardiola seems to be inexperienced, but in fact he has benefited a lot from it. Because he can eliminate the troubles and instill his passionate theories into the players, without being bound by worldly ideas. He was successful. He rarely gave interviews, and he didn't show up with the chairman. All he thought about was football, football, football, and his radical ideas. And his enthusiasm spread to his players."

Zhang Ludao: "Regardless of whether Guardiola, a rookie, can win the Champions League final, he is very successful this season. If he becomes the champion of the Champions League, he will immediately become a legendary coach."

Tao Wei said: "The same is true for Rangnick. As long as he wins the Champions League title, he will become a great coach. Although he does not win the most championships, he has created the most miracles. He can be called a miracle coach." gone."

He Wei talked eloquently: "It is difficult for a good player to become a good coach, such as Klinsmann, Maradona, etc., but Guardiola is different. He has succeeded now. He is the core on the court. Like Didier Deschamps in the French team and Cruyff in the Ajax team. The general core players can be good coaches."

Tao Wei defended Klinsmann: "Klinsmann's environment is too harsh. This is his first time coaching a club team, but he did a pretty good job with the German team in the last World Cup. Sometimes, for The manager needs to be patient and not rush. However, if you don't play in the Champions League, even for one season, it is a disaster for a big club like Bayern, which means losing money and signings to maintain prestige. A high-level player."

He Wei said: "Director Zhang said that Guardiola is cunning, and I think Rangnick is also an old fox. It may not be said that he is wise, but he must be very good at calculating. After he was put together by Ferguson, he turned over the book the second time. Ferguson got rid of it. Chinese reporters and fans all think that Rangnick is in favor of Li Huan, but I actually think he is very capable.”

Zhang Ludao: "I think even without Li Huan, Lannick will win the league championship, but it may take a little longer. He has his own set of things."

Tao Wei said: "Li Huan is the reference coordinate in Rangnick's mind. Hoffenheim achieved great success through the combination of Li Huan and Rangnick. The two can't say who makes the other, it should be mutual success."

PS: I changed a bit about Alves, this is to suit the needs of the novel.
