Red Rebels

519 Final Day

According to the itinerary of the Red Rebels, they were originally supposed to arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport at noon on Tuesday. However, it has been raining in Manchester these days. I heard that Paris is also facing the rainy season. In order to adapt to the venue more, Mourinho decided to The departure time is advanced to Monday evening.

As a competitor, Barcelona will go to Paris on Tuesday evening. This is not to say that they are too big, but because the weather in Barcelona has been surprisingly good in the past few days. Instead of coming to Paris to soak in the rain, it is better to stay in Barcelona. , so that there can be more opportunities for joint training.

It is said that Rijkaard is practicing a tactic against the Red Rebels, and it is unknown whether he will be able to work in the final.

As for the main lineup, Rijkaard said in an interview with the media that he already knew it well. As for the right wing that many Spanish media had been worried about before, Rijkaard said there was no problem at all.

When commenting on Rijkaard's words, many experts noticed that on the one hand, because the Red Rebels' opposing left winger Cristiano Ronaldo was in poor condition, the Portuguese wasted a lot of opportunities in the 38th round of the Premier League. , which ultimately caused the Red Rebels to lose the Premier League title to Liverpool, and then performed poorly in the FA Cup, causing the Red Rebels to lose again.

Some people say that if Mourinho insists on continuing to trust Ronaldinho, the Portuguese will give Barcelona gifts during the game!

As a person involved, Ronaldinho has always complied with the gag order issued by Mourinho and has not accepted any interviews. He does not want to be interviewed, but his mood seems very bad, just like the sky above Paris, with dark clouds.

Get on the bus from Charles de Gaulle Airport and prepare to go to the hotel booked by the club. It is located on the outskirts of the city and has good facilities. It can provide a training venue for the team, and the club itself has also flown some training equipment from Manchester to Paris, which makes the football team The team can get a quiet training environment there.

When passing the Arc de Triomphe, while the Red Rebels players on the bus were rushing to watch the scene, Ronaldinho, who was sitting by the window, was playing with his mobile phone without any thought.

Until now, Mourinho has not announced the starting lineup for the Champions League final. There are rumors that this is because Mourinho is very dissatisfied with the recent performance of some players and will make certain adjustments to the starting lineup. Luo bore the brunt.

The Portuguese blames himself very much for his performance. He has never been a person who likes to shirk responsibility. He knows very well that his poor performance was the main factor in the game against Everton, and he does not need those "chaotic" things. Poor reasons and excuses, they are the behavior of a weak person, Xiao Luo is not one, so he will not shirk the blame.

This made him try every means to help the team in the FA Cup final against Liverpool, but in the end he found that Benitez's tactics completely restrained his performance, making him move to the left or the right. , couldn't get any space, the whole game was mediocre, and many opportunities were wasted, including two must-goals.

Because of his own relationship, the team lost two championships, so Ronaldinho was naturally not happy.

On the one hand, since the team has not announced the 18-man roster, on the other hand, the Red Rebels have always insisted that the whole team is united, so Mourinho arranged for all the players of the first team to go to Paris this time, and the club even loaned out every player. All the players were sent a ticket and air ticket, and arrangements were made for them to come to watch the game.

This is the Red Rebels' tradition of treating players!

Beckham was sitting on the bus, and he was always paying attention to Ronaldinho.

He knows that the Portuguese is in need of help recently. As the captain, even though he cannot play for the team on the court, he still wants to do his best to help the team.

Since the Red Rebels were suddenly advanced this time and were notified on the official website only after the team set off, no fans on site knew about the arrival of the Red Rebels, which allowed the players to quietly check into the hotel in the suburbs of Versailles. this hotel.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but Beckham happened to live in the same room as Ronaldinho.

Some people say that among the three stars of the new generation of the Red Rebels, Kaká is the most approachable, Messi is the shyest, and Ronaldinho has the most iconic temperament, especially his uninhibited smile, which can always make players who like him Fans, especially female fans, screamed in shock.

He will be Beckham's most ideal partner in business!

This is the evaluation made by the Red Rebels' Commercial Department, so the Red Rebels naturally chose the highly symbolic No. 7 jersey for Ronaldinho. This is Beckham's jersey number at Manchester United, but when it comes to After the Red Rebels, he chose No. 23, but inherited from Manchester United, the Red Rebels' No. 7 jersey is always particularly eye-catching, especially when paired with Beckham.

The bad boy really caused trouble for the club. He changed girlfriends faster than he changed cars. The gossip he created off the court was no less than the scoring opportunities he created on the court. This made him quickly become a favorite of the media. The new darling, although his strength and achievements have not yet reached the peak, his reputation is not weaker than that of the now popular Kaka.

But I don't know why, behind closed doors and alone in a room with Beckham, Ronaldinho always feels indescribably nervous.

It's not because of Beckham's overwhelming momentum. In fact, the England captain always has a kind smile on his face. He is also known as a good person in the team, but for some reason, Ronaldinho just feels the pressure.

"You seem to be in trouble recently, Cristiano!" Beckham said casually while packing his luggage.

Xiao Luo paused while packing his things and shook his head: "No, it's nothing!"

Beckham did not lighten his smile because of Ronaldinho's cover-up. He still said slowly, with that faint smile, "Yes, it's nothing. Everyone will encounter all kinds of troubles. It depends on us." What kind of mentality should I use to deal with him!"

Having said this, Beckham suddenly turned around, sat on his bed, and looked at Ronaldinho with a smile. He didn't continue talking until the Portuguese noticed it and turned around to look at him.

"Want to know how I solve my troubles?"

Ronaldinho obviously hesitated, but finally nodded and sat down, face to face with Beckham!

"In 1998, my situation was even worse than yours now. I became a public enemy. You must have heard that some fans even issued a death order to me. At that time, I lived in fear all the time. , harassment, worries and troubles, I really didn’t know what to do at the time. I was worried about my family and my future. I felt... this world is simply a hell, a terrible hell!"

Beckham spread his hands. From his words and deeds, it is not difficult to see that this is a true portrayal of his mood at that time. As long as you recall what happened before and after the 1998 World Cup in France, it is not difficult to guess that at that time Beckham's situation is worse than that of Ronaldinho now.

"I thought about giving up. Really, don't doubt it. I really thought about giving up. I wanted to retire. But I thought again, no, I can't just give up. I can't just give up when I encounter any difficulties. Give up when you have setbacks. If that's the case, wouldn't I have let down the team, the coach, and the fans who really support me?"

"At this time, I had a group of good friends helping me and explaining to me. Xiao Yu was one of them. Then I quickly understood that if I want to fight back, I can only prove myself with facts. As a professional player, The proof comes on the court."

After finishing speaking, Beckham shrugged, "You know the next thing. In the 1998/99 season, Manchester United became the Triple Crown champion, and I almost won the World Footballer."

"You are much luckier than me, Cristiano, because while I was grateful to Manchester United and longed to play for this team until my death, I was abandoned by them and turned into a commodity on a supermarket shelf. Labeled, but you won’t. You are a member of the Red Rebels. You play for the best club in the world. You have the best players in the world as teammates and the best fans in the world. Singing your name, they all support you and help you selflessly!"

"It depends on whether you are willing to extend your hands and accept us!"

I don't know when, Kaka, Messi, Curtis, Terry and others all walked into this room. They all walked over with a smile, and some even sat down next to Ronaldinho.

"David is right, Cristiano, don't think too much, you have proven yourself, you can do it!" Kaka smiled and patted Ronaldinho heavily on the shoulder to encourage him.

"Remember, Cristiano, we will always support you!" Curtis even punched Ronaldinho in the chest, hitting his strong chest moderately.

Feeling the support of his teammates, Xiao Luo felt a warm emotion rushing straight to the top of his head, igniting every cell in his body along the way, and then nodded heavily.

Xiao Yu and Mourinho stood side by side in the corner, watching the players walking out of the room side by side and heading to the fitness room. Ronaldinho seemed to have let go of his knot, and the two smiled at each other in unison.

"It seems that this should be your idea too!" Mourinho smiled.

Xiao Yu shrugged, "I hope this won't cause you dissatisfaction, Mr. Madman!"

Mourinho shook his head and laughed. He felt that Xiao Yu took action at the right time, which saved him a lot of trouble, especially now that the competition was approaching, he was completely worried about the Champions League final.

Although the Red Rebels won the League Cup this season, the tasteless trophy cannot quench their thirst for the Red Rebels. After losing the FA Cup and the League one after another, Mourinho is eager to win a trophy. Champion cup.

This ambition is indeed very big. After all, since the Champions League was restructured, no team has ever been able to successfully defend the title. However, Mourinho hopes to challenge this record, especially when the Red Rebels are likely to be empty-handed. , he is even more determined to win the Champions League.

As he said before, the Red Rebels were born with champions. Since their birth, they have slept with champions almost every year. He couldn't sleep without champions. Now he can proudly say that he is just a champion. The League Cup championship cannot satisfy him at all. What he wants is to create history and win two consecutive Champions League titles!

However, Barcelona is also very strong this season. In addition, the team has just experienced consecutive losses, and the morale of the players is somewhat low, which will bring certain variables to the game.

There is also what Rijkaard said that he has found a tactic to crack the Red Rebels. What is this?

As one of the founders of the Red Rebels' tactical system, Mourinho himself knows best that no set of tactics in this world is perfect, so he has to constantly make adjustments and changes. This season the Red Rebels The tactics have also been valued and cracked by many teams, and certain changes must be made next season.

But in this game, he must ensure that he wins Barcelona!

Black Swan has indeed achieved success in the past few years at Barcelona. He has won two consecutive league championships and now has reached the Champions League final. The limelight is not lost to the Red Rebels at all, and he has successfully opened up a new world for Barcelona. A completely new tactical situation is chasing possession.

Xiao Yu once said that chasing possession is just the beginning. With slight changes, Barcelona can go further in this tactic and achieve amazing transformation, especially after players such as Xavi and Iniesta have grown up rapidly. .

On the other hand, the Red Rebels have reached the Champions League finals for two consecutive years, won the championship last year, and had players win the Double Footballer of the Year award for two consecutive years. All these make the Red Rebels the number one team in football today, with shining stars and a gathering of stars. Although The players are still hungry for glory, but Barcelona has a deeper desire.

But just when Mourinho was worried about how to deal with Barcelona, ​​UEFA announced the referee of the final.

Terje Haug!

Although a Norwegian has rich coaching experience and has also experienced law enforcement in the World Cup, European Cup and other competitions, he has never been in charge of such an important final. Even UEFA officials said that for Hauge, law enforcement is The Champions League final is a huge test.

After the announcement of the referee, it immediately caused an uproar***, especially in the round of 16 knockout rounds. Hauge once refereed the match between Arsenal and Barcelona at the Nou Camp Stadium, and the result was that there were too many referees in the game. This penalty was biased in favor of Barcelona, ​​which caused dissatisfaction among English fans and Arsenal Club.

In addition, UEFA also temporarily replaced a linesman who claimed to be a Barcelona fan because the linesman put on a Barcelona jersey during an interview with the media and proudly claimed that he was a Barcelona fan. Fans are proud to be able to officiate Barcelona's final.

But soon he received a removal order and a fine from UEFA!

On the evening before the final, tickets to the Stade de France had become hard to find. Several local French fans, in order to enter the Stade de France and see the whole final, pretended to be robbers and broke into the stadium without permission. City Hall, threatening and intimidating the city councilors with a toy air gun, but not for money, but for a few tickets!

This tidbit unintentionally brought more attention to the final, and also brought huge challenges to the security facilities of the final. Even when the Red Rebels and Barcelona adapted to the venue, the security system of the Stade de France was in a state of chaos. The enemy seems to be afraid of Bin Laden's attack!

It was in this strange atmosphere that the final day came belatedly!
