Greenery Reverses The Madness

Manchester United defended their Premier League title and kicked off their dominance. After a day's rest at home, they set off for Porto, Portugal, the host city of this season's Champions League final.

YQ still exists. The team entered Portugal from the UK early, was tested and quarantined, and prepared for closed training.

During local training in Porto, Carrick called Ye Yifeng to his side.

He asked Ye Yifeng straight to the point: Ye, what do you think of this Champions League final?

Ye Yifeng was thoughtful.

Ask him what he thinks?

What could he think?

Just do it and that's it.

So he said to Carrick: Boss, if you have an idea, just say it directly. There is no need to ask me. I know you respect my opinion, but you also know me. I prefer simplicity and directness.

Carrick smiled when he heard this, then quickly put away his smile, walked along the sidelines with Ye Yifeng, and solemnly said: We failed to win the game against Chelsea twice this season.

I didn't win the first match, I thought it was because you weren't there.

but......

But I was there for the second match, and Manchester United also failed to win the game. We even failed to create many threatening offenses.

Ye Yifeng said.

On the eve of the Champions League final, since the head coach communicated with him, he did not hold back and actively cooperated.

Carrick nodded and said: Yes, I have analyzed these two games over and over again, as well as the important games on Chelsea's road to Champions League promotion, and I am not optimistic about the upcoming Champions League final.

If you told me that this was a mental panic caused by tension and pressure, I would trust you.

Damn it!

Ye Yifeng thought that Kashuai would have to find a scapegoat in advance? !

He quickly said: For the final, think about it more, it's definitely right.

Carrick also informed Ye Yifeng of his concerns without reservation.

My biggest fear is that the midfield will be suppressed and we will be completely passive.

The figure of the French little black egg appeared in Ye Yifeng's mind.

In that world, there are obstacles and in this world there is only one waist.

well!

He'll get a headache when he sees it.

In fact, from the first time he played against Kante when he played for Atletico Madrid, he almost had an emotional explosion caused by the opponent.

If Atletico Madrid's defense wasn't so impregnable, he could play whatever he wanted in the frontcourt, and I'm afraid Kanter would have used him as a stepping stone.

Years later, Ye Yifeng became stronger.

But Kanter didn't stand still either.

He acknowledged Carrick's concerns.

At the technical and tactical level, once Manchester United is frantically surrounded by the midfield led by Kante, there will be a gap between the front and back, and the formation will be cut. I am afraid it will take a lot of time to adjust at that time, and it may also affect the team's morale and mentality. In terms of status and other aspects, we are in a big headwind situation!

Ye Yifeng saw Carrick's expectant eyes, and he vaguely guessed what the other person wanted to say.

But I still asked more.

You want me to?

Well, yes, I hope you can make some sacrifices. I'm going to let you play as an attacking midfielder in the Champions League final!

This is an arrangement at a strategic level.

Ye Yifeng did not dare to say that he could definitely suppress Kante. As long as there was a match, the core player of Chelsea's defense would not be able to play its role.

Then Manchester United will at least not be passive in the midfield, and their overall offensive ability will have room to play.

sacrifice?

Harmful!

It's all for the team, and Ye Yifeng has never had any thoughts of sacrifice.

Moreover, when the team wins, the most glorious person is really not Carrick or other Manchester United players, but him, the captain, the man who stands on the ceiling of European football in the era of the Devil.

Probably B Fee has a history of being suppressed by Kanter, so Carrick's concerns are not groundless.

Ye Yifeng said to Carrick easily: No problem, we are all for the team, not counting sacrifices. Everyone hopes to win the game. If this is the most certain way, I will do my best to complete your tactics. Require.

Carrick's worries were swept away immediately, he hugged Ye Yifeng and smiled: To be honest, I admire you very much. Most people only see your honors and achievements, but they don't realize that you are the most valuable and even extraordinary person. quality.

Ye Yifeng waved his hand and said, I've heard a lot of bad things about me in the past few years. You don't have to be like this, otherwise I will think you have a conspiracy against me.

After saying that, Ye Yifeng went back to training.

Carrick chuckled.

During his playing career, he also cooperated and competed with superstars.

I’ve seen so many great players.

If you want to criticize Ye Yifeng's professionalism, it is actually not uncommon.

Scholes is very low-key, Keane is a tough guy, Ronaldo is persistent in winning, and Giggs practices yoga all year round to achieve the reputation of an evergreen tree.

Successful people in football have similar qualities, and they all have their own strengths.

But what Ye Yifeng has more than them is his understanding of the overall situation and his dedication to the team.

Too many top players cannot do this because they are all obsessed with doing what they are best at. Ye Yifeng is best at scoring goals, but he can play in the midfield and even take the initiative to serve as goalkeeper.

This is the rarest and most precious thing.

When a star can be broken into two halves and used, this star is amazing.

Ye Yifeng seemed to be splitting it in half and in half again, moving it wherever it needed to be!

...

The day before the Champions League final, the pre-match press conference.

Chelsea coach Tuchel led his team to the Champions League finals for two consecutive years, but failed to win the championship last year.

But he saved the fire and coached Chelsea midway, and his current results have completely exceeded expectations.

The league got a ticket to the Champions League.

Reached the Champions League final.

When he was asked about his outlook for the game in an interview, Tuchel used diplomatic language to compliment Manchester United, but also said that he was confident in the team and that it would not be easy for Manchester United to defeat Chelsea.

The outside world is just a little curious.

In the past two decades of European football, there have been many teams that relied on defense to win the Champions League.

2003 was the peak defensive showdown.

Porto in 2004, Inter Milan in 2010, Chelsea in 2012, Atletico Madrid in 2016 and 2018.

Manchester United in 2019 cannot be counted among them.

Even if that's a team coached by Mourinho.

In terms of defense, Chelsea now is no less than the defensive representative teams that have won the Champions League before.

But teams that are at the top of their game on defense all have good players on offense.

Porto may be weaker. Both teams in the Italian Civil War have familiar strikers.

Inter Milan's Milito became a legend in three games, Chelsea had Drogba, and Atletico Madrid had Ye Yifeng.

But who is there at Chelsea now?

Werner who has been labeled as a parallel import?

Tuchel did not answer this question directly.

In fact, he himself believes that his coaching at Chelsea has just begun.

It took nearly half a season to successfully transform the defense and polish it into shape.

There will be operations on the offensive side later.

It's just that we have to play a Champions League final at this time.

So he couldn't force it. He let himself go to avoid putting too much pressure on himself.

When Manchester United's Carrick was interviewed, he was asked by reporters whether he would be nervous leading the team to the Champions League final for the first time.

This is obviously a question only asked to rookie coaches.

Carrick doesn't mind, it doesn't matter what the outside world thinks of him.

Even at this time, he would rather the outside world despise him and look down on him.

Breathe this unhealthy trend into the Chelsea camp.

If Chelsea also thinks he is a rookie, they want to make a name for themselves with him.

That would be good for Manchester United.

Manchester United has not beaten Chelsea in the league this season, but Carrick has at least beaten Tuchel twice.

Paris Saint-Germain returned home from the group stage and was double beaten by Manchester United. There was also the tragedy of being massacred at home.

The coach at the time was Tuchel.

The reporter also asked about this.

Carrick shook his head.

How can Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea be put together?

There is no reference value.

Moreover, Paris Saint-Germain was affected by XG and was unable to attack.

It can be said that Manchester United has nothing to show off even if it slaughters its opponents.

In addition to having the shell of the French Ligue 1 flagship, the opponent's actual combat strength is not strong except for the striker.

May 29th.

Porto, Dragon Stadium.

Manchester United and Chelsea meet in the Champions League final.

This is Ye Yifeng's fourth time participating in the Champions League final. He has been recharging his energy before the game.

Now it can be said that it is ready to go.

When standing in the tunnel, the excitement in my heart was just like a small flame.

But while standing in line, his whole body suddenly burned!

listen!

What is that sound?

There was a uniform cheering from the fans outside the exit of the player tunnel!

A year later, Ye Yifeng once again heard the cheers from the fans at the game!

A strong torrent swept through the body.

This is what football should be like, the Champions League final, the fans are back!

Although this season's Champions League final restricted the number of attendees, it also brought the atmosphere of the game back to a scene familiar to all players.

The special effects opening ceremony before the Champions League game was even more explosive!

A series of six popular songs paired with dreamlike special effects is mesmerizing.

Technology is becoming more and more developed.

When Ye Yifeng and Chelsea captain Azpilicueta led the team into the field side by side, he felt that every pore in his body was absorbing the breath of passion!

Even though it was not full, the scene in the stands of Dragon Stadium was spectacular!

The flags of the Red Devils and Blues are everywhere!

The red and blue oceans compete!

Countless slogans were held high, and countless fans shouted and cheered. They were equally excited!

We're back!

Fight side by side with the team!

Ye Yifeng saw the large group of Red Devils fans, and also saw a small group of more alternative fans.

They weren't wearing Manchester United shirts, they weren't wearing Chelsea shirts.

Instead, he was wearing a jersey that perhaps only Ye Yifeng recognized among the players present.

At this moment, Ye Yifeng was in a daze, as if he was dreaming back to the past.

Penafiel!

That was the team where he debuted and the starting point of his career.

Fast forward eight years, and he has never been back to Penafiel, but since it is the Champions League final at the Porto Dragon Stadium, Penafiel fans, as locals, naturally want to come to support that magical boy!

Without the warmth of welcome home, they were like a group of passers-by, looking down at Ye Yifeng on the field wearing the Red Devils No. 7 jersey and captain's armband with the mentality of an old man.

The pride on their faces seemed to be silently telling: We are the first people in the world to witness his magic and madness!

Their appearance seemed to remind Ye Yifeng: Never forget your original intention!

Porto, where dreams begin!

Champions League final, dream come true!

In the era of the Demon King, no one is allowed to shake my rule!
