The two sides had a long and busy schedule.
While Atletico Madrid was resting in the hotel, Chelsea, the other team in the Europa League final, also arrived in Amsterdam on the same day.
And what a coincidence, Chelsea also stayed in the Sofitel Legend Hotel.
Chelsea checked in a few hours later than Atletico Madrid.
When the Atletico Madrid players had settled in and were enjoying the hotel's services, the entire Chelsea team arrived late.
It was not until this time that both sides knew that their final opponents were staying in the same hotel.
This situation is really uncommon.
When the players on both sides heard that their opponents were staying in the same hotel, everyone was also very surprised.
The local media reporters were like cats smelling blood, and they came to the hotel one after another, trying to interview the players of both sides.
But they didn't succeed in the end.
When Simeone and Chelsea head coach Merit Sarri faced the reporters, their answers were surprisingly consistent, that is, they could interview me, but they couldn't interview my players.
So in desperation, the reporters could only interview the two coaches.
The two teams stayed in the same hotel, which saved the reporters from running back and forth.
However, the two shrewd coaches answered the reporters' questions with traps one by one without leaking a drop of water.
This made the reporters who wanted to make news feel helpless.
So after interviewing the two head coaches, some persistent reporters still stayed outside the hotel. Looking forward to the players coming out.
But this was destined to disappoint them.
Both teams have received strict orders that no one can leave the hotel without the permission of the head coach.
In the end, the disappointed reporters could only report the two teams staying in the same hotel.
Based on some interviews with the head coaches of both teams and their own imagination, they managed to put together a report.
In the report, the reporter speculated that the two final teams stayed in the same hotel, and they saw each other every day, and they could see each other's pre-match training clearly.
It was impossible for both sides to avoid conflicts.
When the conflict escalated, there might be a fight in the hotel.
If that happened, it would definitely be big news.
As a reporter, of course, I hope this will happen.
But what they didn't know was that the players of the two teams who lived in the same hotel were playing table tennis in a table tennis room.
The players who were playing now were Chelsea's main goalkeeper Cech and Atletico Madrid's Costa.
The two sides met while exercising after dinner.
The two teams had no hatred in history, so when the players met, there was no tension.
Moreover, the players of both sides knew each other, so they naturally communicated with each other.
Then naturally, a player proposed a friendly table tennis match.
In this way, both sides sent representatives to compete.
Chelsea sent their goalkeeper Cech as their representative, and Atletico Madrid originally wanted to send Lin Rui to play, but Lin Rui had something else to do at this time and would come later, so they sent Costa to fight.
When the game started, everyone found out that Cech was also a table tennis master.
Although Costa's table tennis level was not low, he still couldn't resist the opponent's attack.
In the five-game three-win system, Costa soon couldn't resist.
After being killed by Cech's fierce smash, Costa shook his head and put down his racket.
In the three games, he was defeated 5-11, 4-11 and 7-11 respectively.
"Who else wants to try?"
Cech asked proudly while turning his racket in his hand, looking at the Atletico Madrid players on the opposite side.
He was the one who proposed a competition just now.
As a goalkeeper, he has a super reaction speed, and in order to train his reaction speed, he also practiced table tennis for a period of time.
So in this table tennis desert, his level is the ceiling.
He proposed a competition, and he might have used this game to influence
The opponent's mentality.
So at this moment, after he defeated Costa, he challenged other Atletico players again.
Seeing Cech's appearance of asking for a beating, the Atletico Madrid players were of course not convinced.
Soon Koke stood up.
"I'll compete with you."
He came to the opposite side of Cech, picked up the racket on the table, and prepared for the game.
But soon, he was defeated by Cech's fierce smash.
And he was not as good as Costa.
The scores of the three games were 3-11, 2-11 and 3-11 respectively.
It was simply horrible.
Koke put the racket on the table with an ugly face and reluctantly retreated.
"Anyone else want to compete?"
Cech continued to challenge.
The other players of Atletico Madrid looked at each other for a while, and no one dared to stand up again.
They knew their level was not as good as Koke who had just gone up.
If I go up, I might get shaved bald, which would be embarrassing.
"No way, there are so many people in Atletico Madrid, don't you have even one person who can play table tennis?"
Seeing that no one came up, Cech pretended to be surprised.
His words immediately made the Atletico Madrid players feel very embarrassed.
At the same time, he was a little angry.
Just a casual exchange, are you so persistent?
Just at this time, the door of the table tennis room was pushed open.
Lin Rui walked in from outside.
Seeing Lin Rui, the Atletico Madrid players' eyes lit up immediately.
"Lin, come here quickly, go up and play a game with them. You Chinese people should all play table tennis, right?"
Koke waved at Lin Rui and said.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Lin Rui instantly understood what was going on. This was someone who had been beaten up, so he could get back on his feet.
Before Lin Rui spoke, Cech on the opposite side spoke first.
"Lin, I heard that you are Chinese. You Chinese are very good at table tennis. Do you dare to play with me?"
Cech said, waving at Lin Rui.
Hearing the other party's greeting, Lin Rui smiled and walked straight over.
Picked up the racket on the table, held it horizontally with his right hand, tried to swing it twice, and then looked at Cech and said, "Come on!"
