Chapter 367 Champions League Final
However, unlike Kenny, this bad boy Alan Smith, who is called the prince of Leeds United by outsiders, is showing a very nervous look at this moment. Obviously, the Champions League final + unfamiliar position + the match against the world's top players After all, the triple challenge made Kenny, who is about the same age as him, feel tremendous pressure.

Seeing such a situation, Kenny is also worried. He is not good at motivating his teammates. At the same time, after discovering such uncertain factors, he also has a lot of doubts about the arrangement of the head coach O'Reilly. Is this kind of adventure really good? It seems to Kenny that if he really wants to form such a formation, Dacourt seems to be more suitable. You must know that Dacourt's composure often makes Kenny feel inferior, facing a player like Zidane It may be much better for Leeds United not to seek merit but to seek no fault.

Of course, this is just Kenny's personal thoughts, maybe O'Reilly has deeper considerations.

"...I'm fine, Loris, you know, always have been."

Hearing Kenny's concern, Alan Smith seemed embarrassed for a moment like a child whose inner thoughts had been seen through.

"Of course, we all understand your ability, don't think too much, you need to remember that this is the best opportunity for the whole world to understand you!"

At this moment, Viduka came over and patted Alan Smith on the shoulder with his broad and powerful palm, comforting him.There is no doubt that in many cases, the head coach O'Reilly is like the father of these young boys in Leeds United, strict and loving, while center Viduka is like the elder brother of everyone, always caring, intense and urging everyone.

Especially when the old captain Radebe was injured and gradually faded out of the team due to age, Viduka was more like the captain of the team to some extent, but this did not mean to belittle Woodgate.You must know that as the commander of the rear defense, he played a much better role in stabilizing the morale of the army than people thought at first.

Hearing Viduka's encouragement, Alan Smith's face obviously improved a lot, which made Kenny temporarily relieved.

"Okay! Gentlemen, I believe that you are already familiar with all the tactics! Step by step, what you have done is much better than the outside media and even the fans imagined, but now I think you can do even better. Good! Think about Germany, Spain, Turkey, and Italy after a season! How much you have paid for this, and now is the time to reap! Show your best form and set off!"

Coach O'Reilly looked down at his watch, then raised his head and said loudly.

"Leeds United! Must win!"

In O'Reilly's not-so-enthusiastic words, the players were filled with passion and boldness in their hearts, and they echoed loudly.It is true that it is a great test for every player to fight for a few lines in such an intensive and intense competition as the Premier League and at the same time squeeze out a little time to fly to various places in Europe for competitions.Everyone has paid a lot in pursuit of this honor, and now at the last moment, O'Reilly's words undoubtedly resonated with everyone.

You must know that if there is only one game a week in the Premier League, most Premier League teams will arrange about 10 training sessions this week, each of which will last between 60 and 90 minutes. Slightly different, but each preparation cycle generally consists of three phases.The first stage includes the post-match summary and physical recovery of the previous game. The second stage is physical and tactical training. This stage usually lasts for four days, and the third stage is state adjustment and pre-match preparation.

For professional players and clubs, only through these three steps can the players understand the shortcomings of the previous game, the tactical arrangements that need to be made in the next game, and make sufficient preparations for these two items. Training and adjustment are exactly how the team can face the next opponent with a complete state and targeted tactics.

And whenever it comes to double matches a week, not only the team's training session, but also the time for these three stages will be very tight. Without good recovery and tactical training, it will put great pressure on the players' bodies. It is also very difficult to arrange and implement tactics.

So it is so difficult to even play double matches a week, let alone in the fourth-tier battlefields like the Premier League and the Champions League, what kind of hell abuse is for the players.

I have to say that the starting point of the head coach O'Reilly is also very old-fashioned. He did not encourage the players to be worthy of the club and the fans, but told them that this final hard work is a reward for their hard work in the past eight months. An explanation.

And this also aroused the greatest sympathy among the players. Under the roar, the players all ignited a raging fire in their hearts, and then the generals adjusted their clothes and filed out.

The overcrowded locker room was emptied in an instant, and only the huge clock was still advancing minute by minute.

7:40 in the afternoon.

In the not-so-wide player channel, the players from both sides are waiting for each other under the leadership of their respective captains. Gradually, the tense atmosphere spreads among everyone. war.When it comes to teams wearing white jerseys, nine out of ten fans will say the name of Real Madrid without hesitation. Few people will remember that there is also a club called Blanche in the Premier League, that is Leeds couplet.

In fact, before 1961, Leeds United had been using blue and yellow two-color mid-point shirts, white shorts and blue socks with yellow socks as the team uniform style. It is incompatible with white.But in 1961, the then legendary Leeds United coach Don Rivet imitated Real Madrid, who dominated Europe at the time, and hoped to change the team's uniform color to all white, hoping that the team could achieve the same goal as the opponent. Achievements, so in that year Leeds United officially adopted the all-white uniform as the home jersey style.

Although Leeds United did not achieve astonishing achievements like Real Madrid in the later days, the white jersey style has been retained and is still in use today.

In this game, Real Madrid wore home white jerseys, while Leeds United players wore tops with golden collars and royal blue as the main color, white shorts, and yellow and blue socks as team uniforms. The jersey is specially prepared by the Leeds United Club for this Champions League final. It is a retro of the predecessor of Leeds United, the team uniform of Leeds City, to tell every player that for today's goal of reaching the top of Europe, the Leeds have already I have been fighting for it for a hundred years!
"Focus on what you see! As always, the trophy will be brought back to Leeds!"

Perhaps sensing the nervousness of his teammates behind him, the captain Woodgate who was standing at the front suddenly opened his mouth to encourage, then he turned around and applauded the players trying to drive the atmosphere, and at the same time, the superstars of Real Madrid also rushed They encouraged each other, but they were much more relaxed than the Leeds United players who reached the Champions League final for the first time, and they were more at ease.

"Wow, the Hampton Park stadium in Glasgow, Scotland is already overcrowded at this time, with more than [-] fans pushing the atmosphere up, the flags, fireworks, and huge banners have become the most eye-catching features of the Hampton Park stadium." Scene. I have to say that the current Hampton Park Stadium has become a sea of ​​white, but these two distinct white teams will compete for the final championship here today!"

"The fans were singing inspiring songs, jumping, cheering, such an atmosphere is unheard of! We saw in the VIP box, Mr. Lennart Johansson, President of the UEFA Federation, and Mr. Geha, Chief Executive Officer De Aigner came to the Hampton Park Stadium in person to witness the final of this year's highest competition for European clubs! In the boxes on both sides of them were the chairman of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, and Leeds United. Chairman Ridsdale! They will also be here to watch their players play the final match!"

"There is no doubt that this Champions League trophy is inevitable for both teams! The Spanish construction tycoon Florentino won the support of the former old chairman Mendoza in the re-election of the chairman, and defeated the former Sanz to become the After becoming the 14th chairman in the history of Real Madrid, he strongly advocated the superstar policy, and claimed that the club will implement the transfer strategy of "one superstar a year" under his leadership.

We can see that the Real Madrid Club has entered a new historical period since then. At the beginning of the election, Florentino’s first important signing as the chairman was the signing of the Portuguese star Luis Figo. With a world record worth of US$5610 million, he became the first foreigner in the era of Real Madrid's "Galaxy Battleship". Together with Raul, Carlos and Hierro, he formed a strong lineup, and the arrival of the Portuguese helped Real Madrid win the 2001 La Liga champions.

In 2001, the Frenchman Zidane became the second "prey" of Florentino. The transfer fee of up to 7600 million euros broke Figo's record. Since then, Real Madrid has owned the two most expensive players in the world!

Although we don't know which player Florentino, who has become a legendary businessman after the end of this season, will bring to the Bernabeu again, but we do know that this year, which coincides with the centenary of Real Madrid, the superstar They have only one goal, and that is to become the champion of the Champions League for the ninth time, to rule Europe, and to add the most colorful touch to the club's centennial birthday! ! ! "

"On the other side of them, Leeds United, wearing retro jerseys, is the most two-eyed new team in European and even world football this season. They continued their excellent record in the European war last year and rewritten the results of the semi-finals. In order to reach the final, you must know that such results are beyond reach for many wealthy clubs in these two seasons!"

"But this alone can't satisfy this group of ambitious young people in Leeds United. After they fell into the sand last year, they once again introduced the sharpest attacker, the Italian Loris Kenny! The player who helped the Italian team score the golden goal to reach the top of Europe, now has many honors, the Bundesliga extraordinary king, the best foreign player in the Premier League season, the best scorer in the Premier League, and the player who won the most times in a single game in the Premier League this season !

Countless giants have already fallen under his right foot. Even Leeds United's opponent Real Madrid had an incredible goal by Kenny at the Bernabeu last season!Will Kenny, who has already scored ten goals in this season's Champions League, increase his goals again in this game?Let us wait and see! "

"From our point of view, the stands on three sides have become a sea of ​​white. The fans are wearing white jerseys, holding white scarves in their hands, and waving white flags. This scene is huge and spectacular."

"Under the exciting Champions League theme song, the players of the two teams walked into the field under the guidance of the referee team! At the same time, the atmosphere at Hampton Park Stadium has reached the top! Law enforcement The referee team for the game was from Switzerland, and the referee Urs Meyer! He started flipping coins to the captains of both sides after confirming the choice, and the players from both sides quickly dispersed to their predetermined positions in the tactical arrangement of the season. "

"Sure enough, in this game Real Madrid played their best lineup 4-1-3-2, the goalkeeper is the 31-year-old veteran Cesar Sanchez, he is an excellent goalkeeper from the Real Varatura youth system. , as a hard-working goalkeeper, he only missed 1995 league games during the 2000-4 period when he played for Real Varadorie. In the 2000/01 season, Cesar moved to Real Madrid with his stable performance. Substitute for Jun Casillas.

However, in the 2001/02 season, Cesar replaced Casillas as the starting goalkeeper with his own efforts. He played many times in La Liga and the Champions League. The fans questioned, but at this time he has conquered everyone with his performance! ! "

"On the defensive line, there are Real Madrid's left-wing supreme, the left-back Carlos who has repeatedly contributed to the club with his pervasive assists and powerful free kicks, the hot Spanish international center back Elguera, and the captain of Real Madrid. Defensive leader Fernando Hierro, and right winger, right back Salgado."

"In the luxurious lineup of the midfield, there is the midfield barrier, the French iron waist Makelele, and the world-renowned Zidane and Figo. Finally, the Bernabéu prince Raúl and Luis Figo will start this game on the front line. Supernova Morientes."

"Of course, this is not all of Real Madrid's strength. On the bench there are Casillas, McManaman, Conceicao, Solari, Guti, Pavon and others."

　Dear spectators, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! ! !
