Manchester United arrived at Leonardo da Vinci Airport in Rome almost at the same time as Barcelona, and they arrived less than half an hour before Barcelona.

As soon as the whole Manchester United team walked out of the aisle, the reporters who had been waiting at the exit of the reception hall immediately surrounded them, and today at least hundreds of media and reporters came, this is the final of the Champions League, they are one of the two most watched teams in the world.

Even in the eyes of many people, the gold content and importance of the Champions League final are no less than the World Cup final.

From a football point of view alone, the number of 'fine' colours and stars in the Champions League final is even stronger than in the World Cup final. The World Cup final is more because of the huge influence on politics, which cannot be compared with the Champions League.

In addition, this Champions League final is also considered to be the most evenly matched and star-studded in recent years.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Yang Fan and Messi, these three are the top three players of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or in 2008, and the top three of these two awards appeared in the final of the Champions League at the same time, which is the first time in history.

Therefore, some media directly praised that the influence of these three players alone is enough to affect the entire football world.

There were also a considerable number of Manchester United fans in the reception hall, holding posters of Yang Fan or Cristiano Ronaldo or other Manchester United stars, shouting their names.

Because Yang Fan led Manchester United to the final of the Champions League, this is the first time that Chinese players have stepped on the stage of this top hall, so it is now exciting in China, CCTV did not get the live broadcast rights of the Premier League because of short-sightedness and picking the 'door', which allowed them to watch Yang Fan's popularity continue to rise, but they could not broadcast Manchester United's Premier League matches, and watched a large amount of sponsorship advertisements slip away from their mouths. Now, they are finally excited, because CCTV has the right to broadcast the Champions League. Therefore, in China, now on CCTV's major channels, they are all sports channel advertisements, Manchester United and Barcelona's Champions League final, Yang Fan, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, the three stars of the competition, which has definitely attracted the attention of countless people. Domestic football 'fans' can be said to be looking forward to this final.

A large number of Chinese reporters came to the scene, and there were also reporters who came to cover the Champions League final in the past, but neither the number nor the momentum can be compared with this time, according to statistics, at least more than 100 Chinese reporters came to Rome to report on the Champions League final.

※※※※※※※

Yang Fan was stopped by reporters. He was asked to talk about his outlook for the final. This is a CCTV reporter, they came very early and grabbed an interview position early.

"The result? Yang Fan took off his headphones, "If I say that I didn't come for the championship, you wouldn't believe it." "He is very uninterested in the questions raised by many domestic media, because these questions are too formulaic, there is a famous example before, after Liu Xiang won the Olympic Games, the first thing he was asked by reporters was 'Won the gold medal, are you happy?', isn't this nonsense?!

Therefore, although it was CCTV that interviewed him, Yang Fan was still not too polite, he did not forget it, when the Football Association criticized him and slandered him, Yang Fan tried to contact CCTV and disclose the truth of the matter, but, as the first mouthpiece of China's media, CCTV politely refused, and has always remained silent on this matter...... Later, I learned that CCTV had received greetings from the relevant departments and leaders, and this move was to not destroy the good atmosphere of preparation for the Beijing Olympics of the national Olympic team.

CCTV's reporters frowned, as the absolute bosses of China's media industry, as well as their strong political background, they interview anyone, and the interviewee is not flattered and polite, but they can't see the awe for them from Yang Fan's body.

Some of the other Chinese reporters laughed, and they often interviewed Yang Fan to understand Yang Fan's temper, but they didn't think anything about it. In fact, they are also admiring in their hearts, that is, Yang Fan, who is qualified not to be so polite to CCTV.

"Although this question is a bit abrupt, if you lose the final......" the CCTV reporter continued.

Yang Fan didn't like to hear this, he immediately frowned, and when the other Chinese reporters saw this, they said that it was not good, but they knew Yang Fan's temper and were worried that Yang Fan would be mad.

For us, the competition is like a soldier going to the battlefield, thinking that he will lose the battle before he even starts the war, so he simply surrenders. Yang Fan said angrily.

Ignoring this self-righteous reporter, Yang Fan turned his head and answered another Chinese reporter who asked just now, "I don't think I will have the opportunity to play in the World Cup in my life, the reason is clear." ”

Of course, these people are clear, and they are even more aware of two reasons, one is the bad relationship between Yang Fan and the Football Association, and the other is that Chinese football is poor, even with Yang Fan, but it is not so easy to enter the World Cup, and you don't want to expect a lion to lead ten sheep to face the tiger and wolf enemy What can be too big.

"I've always had a dream of wearing the jersey of my home country, playing in the final of the World Cup, winning the game and being on top of the world. Yang Fan said.

His words shocked everyone. If other Chinese players say such things, many people will think that they are so ambitious and funny, but when these words came out of Yang Fan's mouth, not only was it not funny, but it made these sports media practitioners feel a touch of sadness: Yes, Yang Fan's level of star, such a great talent, such a 'colorful' player, should be qualified to dream of the World Cup, dream of the World Cup finals, and dream of the highest honor stage! However, the reality is so cruel that he doesn't even have the opportunity to play for the national team, let alone the World Cup stage!

"So, this final is very simple. The Champions League final is my World Cup final. Thank you. Yang Fan continued.

Hearing this, all the people were shocked, and even the eyes of the CCTV reporter who was unpleasant before lit up with a solemn expression.

※※※※※※※

Yang Fan's voice was not high, but in the ears of Chinese reporters, it was particularly powerful.

Yes, Chinese football can't let its own 'fans' enjoy the joy of breaking into the World Cup finals, and even the joy of winning a game in the World Cup is a luxury, to put it mildly, in the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese team was humiliated on the stage of the World Cup, and now there is no chance to even rush out of Asia and accept the humiliation on the stage of the World Cup. It is simply impossible for Chinese football 'fans' to enjoy the opportunity to be proud of their country in the world's top football competition.

Now, for Chinese football 'fans', the greatest comfort and hope is on Yang Fan, seeing him gallop in the European football arena, watching him score goals, watching him win opponents like chopping melons and vegetables, and watching him achieve so much glory, this is what Chinese football 'fans' are currently happy about.

Now, Yang Fan regards this final as his World Cup final, for Chinese football 'fans', seeing Yang Fan's figure on the highest stage of European football, watching him compete for the highest glory, their mood is not 'excited', for these football 'fans', their hearts are comforted and 'excited', it can also be said that this game is regarded as the World Cup final!

"Yang Fan, is there anything we can do to help?" a Chinese reporter couldn't help but shout out in a 'excited' mood. After he shouted this, he regretted it a little, yes, how could they help?!

Yang Fan had already squeezed through the crowd and walked forward at this time, he was surrounded by reporters from Britain, Spain, and Italy, and when he heard the shouting here, he turned his head and seemed to think about it, and then said, "If possible, I hope to be able to look up and see the five-star red flag fluttering in the stands." ”

Hearing this answer, the reporters' hearts were 'excited' and 'swaying', and some people's tears burst out of their eyes.

"He's really playing this game as if it were a World Cup final. A reporter muttered, wiping the corners of his eyes as he spoke.

Looking at Yang Fan's back as he walked forward while accepting or declining interviews surrounded by those Western reporters, the Chinese reporters couldn't help but shout: "Come on!

"Come on! Yang Fan!"

"Come on! Yang Fan!"

"Yang Fan, you'll see!"

Yang Fan was surrounded by everyone and couldn't turn back, he waved his hand and walked out with his teammates under the protection of security personnel.

Looking at the shadow that disappeared into the crowd, the Chinese reporters were all embarrassed.

"I don't understand, such a top star, but there is no 'door' to serve the country. A reporter said hatefully.

This resonated with many reporters, who expressed their dissatisfaction with the Football Association.

"Okay, don't say these useless things, let's just talk about these things here, don't talk 'nonsense' when you return to China, otherwise you won't even have the opportunity to report on the national team. An old and serious reporter reminded.

"I'm afraid of him. A reporter said indignantly, "The national team without Yang Fan is a fart! Now the football 'fans' are most concerned about Yang Fan's report." Although they scolded on their mouths, they also knew that the Football Association was something they could not afford to offend, and it was impossible not to report on the national team.

"Alright, alright. Someone played a round and said, "Let's do something realistic to help Yang Fan fulfill his little wish." ”

The words struck an immediate chord.

The CCTV reporter immediately said, "Perhaps, we should ask the embassy for help." ”

This is indeed a good idea, and everyone really accepted this CCTV reporter who didn't like it very much before and stayed away from it for the first time.

※※※※※※※

Almost half an hour after Manchester United left, the Barcelona players landed on the runway at Leonardo da Vinci Airport.

The other team from the Champions League final, Barcelona, also came to Rome.

It was about the same as when Manchester United arrived, and the arrival of Barcelona also detonated the reception hall here.

Titicaca, the flash is a masterpiece.

The screams of the ball fans rang out.

A reporter from Italy's "Torino Sports Newspaper" squeezed in front of Messi and asked a question, "Mr. Messi, Mr. Messi, Yang Fan said that he wanted to step on you to win the championship, do you have anything to say?"

Before Messi could speak, Alves beside him shouted, "Sue sù such a self-righteous guy, he is a clown! Messi is a hundred times more powerful than him!"

The reporters were surprised, and they were also a little confused, did Alves and Yang Fan have any hatred? This Brazilian defender seemed to have a grudge against Yang Fan, and he was always the first to jump out.

Of course, the reporters can only be happy that Alves jumped out, this is a breaking point, and Alves's words are directly tantamount to personal attacks.

"Alves said Yang Fan is a clown!"

"Alves said that Messi is a hundred times more powerful than Yang Fan!"

"Alves once again expresses his contempt for Yang Fan!"

Journalists are already messing with how to hype up the manuscript.

Messi frowned slightly, Messi was still quite shy at this time, he didn't seem to be very comfortable with his teammates saying such straightforward and unfriendly words, he cleared his throat and thought about it before saying, "I don't know what Yang Fan said, I don't think a good player would say such a thing...... I wouldn't say anything like that. Of course, if that's what he meant, all I can say is see you on the field. ”

For Messi's 'sexual' personality, this is tantamount to a direct declaration of war, and it can be seen that Messi is actually quite angry in his heart.

※※※※※※※

Ferguson decided to talk to Yang Fan again, although Yang Fan now looks normal, continued to score goals in the game, and in the game with Arsenal, he also came over to hug Ferguson after scoring a goal, it seems that Yang Fan has come out of the influence of Ferguson's retirement, however, the captain of the team, Gary Neville, still came to tell Ferguson, Yang Fan is a little silent when no one is around, he is worried that Yang Fan still has love.

Therefore, Ferguson came to Yang Fan and planned to have a 'heart-to-heart' conversation with this disciple.

Of course, Ferguson didn't know that Yang Fan's current silence was more of an attitude towards the upcoming Champions League final, both a little awe, worried that he would not be good, but also a little impatient, and so eager to win the game and win the supreme glory.

Of course, it would be wrong to say that Yang Fan was completely unsympathetic to Ferguson's retirement, but it was not as strict as Gary Neville and Ferguson imagined. As a professional player, he already has the consciousness of constantly changing teams and coaches, but Yang Fan is just because he has deep feelings for Ferguson, and it is difficult to adapt for a while.

Yang Fan saw Ferguson coming to him, and subconsciously wanted to dodge, he thought that Ferguson was here to reprimand him, what he said in an interview before, after the fermentation of the media, has caused an uproar. Of course, this should be more to blame the media's misinterpretation and hype, but Yang Fan can't escape the responsibility of not being able to control his mouth.

Seeing that Yang Fan wanted to escape, Ferguson was mistaken, thinking that Yang Fan was still in trouble and was unwilling to communicate with him. The decisive battle with Barcelona is just around the corner, and Ferguson must ensure that Yang Fan puts all his 'essence' on the game and plays his best.

"What are you running?"

"No—nothing. Yang Fan returned.

"You ......" Ferguson thought that Yang Fan refused to communicate, and he scolded the 'bastard' kid in his heart, this kid is really stinky temper.

"Coach, do you have something to do with me?" Yang Fan asked with an innocent face.

"Alright, don't fight with me. Yang, I apologize to you, can't I apologize to you?" Ferguson said with a sigh.

"Why do you want to apologize to me?" Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, and then said, he kind of understood what Ferguson meant by looking for him. This surprised him, he really didn't expect Ferguson to take the initiative to find himself and say that he would apologize. You know, Ferguson is so strong and unruly at Manchester United, when did he go out of his way to apologize to the players?1At least, Yang Fan had never heard of such a thing, and he didn't think it would happen.

Ferguson was furious, he gritted his old teeth and looked at Yang Fan who was standing in front. "Are you going to make me say it?" he said through gritted teeth.

Yang Fan didn't answer, just looked at him quietly. Originally, the feelings for Ferguson's retirement had faded a lot, but at this moment, this situation was flooding again.

Ferguson was stared at like this for a while, but the old man sighed, he was defeated, and his voice was a little low: "Yang, I'm sorry to say goodbye, I'...... Well, I don't know what to say to you, but I don't want to leave you, I really didn't have enough of being your manager, and I thought I could continue to lead you......"

Yang Fan didn't speak, but his heart was warm, Ferguson's words made him feel very comfortable, and the feeling of being abandoned before was gone. In fact, what he needed was an explanation, or an apology, which Yang Fan himself did not realize.

"I've been in charge of Manchester United for twenty-two years, if I can. I also want to be there all the time and even watch you retire. When I brought you to Manchester United, I thought, I will train you to be the most 'outstanding' star, I will lead you, you can win more, and build another great dynasty......!

Ferguson said slowly, and Yang Fan listened silently.

"It's hard to make the decision to retire...... Listen to me, Young, you are the most brilliant 'goalscorer' I have ever seen, you can become the most goal-scoring striker in the history of football! In fact, I can't imagine what you have achieved in your season at Manchester United, you have shocked me, and I am even more convinced of what a wise decision I made to bring you to Manchester United, and now that I am retired, you will be the most valuable asset I have left to my successor...... In the future, you have to work well with the new manager, your temper has to change, not every coach is as good as me. ”

Yang Fan looked up at him, meaning, are you a good coach?

Ferguson laughed, and he patted Yang Fan on the shoulder, "Okay, having said all that, you just need to know that I'm sorry." Then, Ferguson walked away with some heavy steps, it was raining in Rome these days, Ferguson had rheumatism in his legs, and he was a little painful to walk. Yang Fan looked at Ferguson's back, looking at the old man's somewhat old back, he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he didn't speak, but walked over a few steps and grabbed Ferguson's shoulder. Neither of them spoke, Ferguson may have apologized to the player for the first time and said these words, a little embarrassed, or just a little tired, and didn't want to talk anymore, Yang Fan was very serious to support Ferguson, he knew that he didn't need to say anything, with actions and goals, with the championship to speak.
