Chapter 574: Seeking
There was still some time before the start of the game, but the stands at the Olympic Stadium in Athens were already halfway through. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
More and more fans entered the stadium, and the momentum of the scene became louder and louder, which made all the fans who came to the Champions League final for the first time feel extremely excited, but some people were full of apprehension.
A five-member live broadcast team from Chinese state television entered the media stands at the Olympic Stadium as early as the afternoon.
They had a lot of things to prepare before the game started, such as plugging in the stadium's multimedia system, commissioning the equipment on site, and getting a feel for the atmosphere of the Champions League final.
For the sake of cultivating newcomers, the two commentators arranged by the TV station are newcomers.
One walked back and forth in the crowded media stands, constantly jumping and moving his body, and on a hot day, the temperature of the stadium was not low, and he just tossed himself to sweat profusely.
If fans who often watch the live broadcast of domestic games will not be unfamiliar with him, he is former international player Xu Yang.
His partner He Wei was sitting in a chair, looking at a thick notebook, and during the preparation period, he went back to watch all the games of Inter Milan this season, and remembered the notebook densely, and made enough preparations.
Moving and still, the two are also in harmony with each other.
"They should be almost there. Xu Yang walked over and said breathlessly.
He Wei raised his gaze from his notebook, hummed, and lowered his head again.
They are both commentators on the Champions League final for the first time, and they are well aware of the popularity of this final in China, and it is expected that more than 200 million viewers will watch the match live tonight, which will set a record for the most ever sporting event.
The TV station also attached great importance to the live broadcast of the game, but due to various considerations, two newcomers were finally arranged to come to Athens, Greece to commentate on the spot, which was an encouragement, but also a heavy pressure.
"Brother, you'll have to help me a little bit, brother. Xu Yang said a little nervously.
He's a professional footballer and the Champions League final is the stage of his dreams, but he would never have imagined that he would achieve his dream in this way, and tonight for him is not only a live broadcast of the Champions League final, but also a dream journey, both a fan and a commentator, and he is really nervous.
"It's okay, let's just do our best. He Wei seemed calmer.
Before they set off, they also specially consulted some seniors of the TV station to understand the situation of the on-site commentary, especially the Champions League final, and they were also mentally prepared for some general situations, and the only thing they were worried about was the rhythm.
Judging from the live TV, even the fastest transition between offense and defense will seem slow, after all, there is a TV set in the middle.
But in the on-site commentary, it is completely different, the pace of the game is very fast, and often a little carelessness misses a lot of important details, which will seriously affect the fans' viewing experience.
But as newcomers, they have no experience in these aspects at all, so they can only bite the bullet.
The media stands were just behind the goal, with the Inter Milan fans on the left and the Chelsea fans on the right.
Relatively speaking, Inter Milan fans are calmer and more organized, which is probably similar to the meticulous tactical order of Italian teams, while Chelsea fans are more passionate and loud, typical of Premier League fan style.
At that moment, the rest of the peers in the media area stands suddenly jumped up.
Both of them reacted immediately, and hurriedly grabbed their equipment and rushed after them.
When I rushed from the stands to the entrance of the players' tunnel outside the stadium, I saw the Inter Milan bus stop, and countless fans gathered around in the dark, all shouting Gao Han and the player's name.
Especially when the bus door pops open, the scene is louder.
Wearing a dark suit and a pure white shirt, Gao Han, who looked well-dressed, stepped off the bus first.
As soon as all the media reporters saw him, they involuntarily raised their cameras and shot violently, feeling as if they were going to capture Gao Han's gestures in their lenses.
Gao Han also waved his hand to the media reporters and fans very gracefully, stood sideways, and took the Inter Milan players on the bus out of the bus one by one and sent them into the players' tunnel.
The appearance of each player will attract the cheers of the fans at the scene.
Tonight, they will challenge Inter Milan for the third trophy in the club's history and another Champions League trophy after decades.
After the last player entered the players' tunnel, Gao Han smiled and waved goodbye to the media reporters and fans, and when he entered the players' tunnel, he also noticed Xu Yang and He Wei in the crowd, and immediately greeted them with a smile.
They met through Xiang Tianming when they were in China, and when Gao Han wanted to buy land to build a youth training center, they were also full support, and they were good friends.
But it was the first time for the two to feel the weight of Gao Han in the minds of fans and media reporters at the scene.
He's just like George Clooney and Tom Cruise.
However, the duo did not immediately return to the stands as the Chelsea bus arrived not long after.
But compared to the movement caused by Inter Milan and Gao Han, the Blues are relatively flat, and Mourinho caused a lot of movement when he went off the field, but compared with Gao Han, there is still a big gap.
This also made the two commentators from China personally feel the amazing influence of Gao Han in world football.
But what interested many media reporters was that when Captain Terry stepped off the bus, he seemed to be carrying something in his hand, wrapped tightly, and it was not clear what it was, but it felt a bit like a plaque or something.
Players from both teams entered the dressing room, and reporters and fans dispersed.
Xu Yang and He Wei also turned around and returned to the media stand, but they couldn't calm down for a long time.
"You say, with Gao Han's coaching performance, if he returns to China to lead the national team, is there any hope?" He Wei asked.
Xu Yang was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Don't say it, I've really thought about this question, and even I think that many fans in China have thought about it, he is a winning general, but can he also lead the national team to win all the way?"
"This ......" He Wei really couldn't say.
Gao Han is a winning streak all the way, but judging from the several teams he has led, first of all, they are all very powerful, at least Gao Han does have his own set of ideas and methods in selecting talents and forming teams, and the team he has formed is also quite competitive.
But the national team and the club team are clearly different.
Just like the Chinese national team, there are only a few talents, no matter how you choose, you can only choose from those people, as a head coach, how much can he improve the team?
So, my answer is, difficult. Xu Yang sighed regretfully.
"Could it be that even a god like Gao Han can't save Chinese football?" He Wei was frustrated.
Yes, football has no borders, but fans do.
As a die-hard fan, he wants to see the rise of Chinese football more than anyone else, he hopes to see a perfect and clean league environment, and he hopes to see the Chinese team compete with Brazil, Argentina, Italy and other world powerhouses on the World Cup stage.
But all of this can only exist in his imagination.
Xu Yang saw the change in He Wei's expression, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, why shouldn't he?
"It's good to think about it, really. Xu Yang patted He Wei's shoulder and comforted, "This person, there must always be some dreams, what if it really comes true?"
But as soon as these words came out, Xu Yang himself burst out laughing, and then let out a long sigh.
"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek. ”

…………
When Gao Han walked out of the players' tunnel and entered the Olympic Stadium, the fans in the stands erupted into a loud roar, and the whole stadium seemed to explode.
Not only in the stands where the Inter Milan fans were, but even in the stands of the Chelsea fans, there were many fans who took the initiative to stand up and cheer for Gao Han, and the entire Olympic Stadium cheered his name.
"I really didn't expect that it's been three years, and they still remember you. Guardiola said enviously.
It's not that he likes Chelsea, but he envies Gao Han for being able to get this affirmation from Chelsea fans.
Even now, there are still many fans who believe that Abramovich's entry into the ownership has only brought abundant funds, but Gao Han is the soul who has really laid the foundation for Chelsea's rise in recent years.
Therefore, in the minds of many Chelsea fans, Gao Han still has a supreme position.
Even if this one they are opponents.
Pep Guardiola and Cantarero were quick to put their players on the pitch for one last training session and warm-up before the game.
Yesterday afternoon, they had already gone to the Olympic Stadium for a training session and familiarised themselves with the venue, and now they are ready for the game.
The training was easy, the players didn't look nervous, and everyone was open, especially when it came to shooting drills, where every shot was just in the corner.
At first, Cesar would try to pounce, but in the end, he would just stand there with his hands on his hips and watch them shoot into the corner, which made everyone in the audience laugh.
And when it came to the later training of the monkey walker, Inter Milan's skillful continuous kick pass frequently made the stadium burst into cheers.
Chelsea arrived late and came out late to train.
Gao Han got the news that they were said to have encountered a traffic jam on the road.
This is one of the links where Chelsea's management has fallen short.
In order to avoid traffic jams, Inter Milan let the driver drive the bus from the golf clubhouse to the Olympic stadium three days in advance, just to better control the time.
The appearance of the Chelsea players was immediately greeted by a burst of cheers.
As soon as they walked into the pitch, they all looked at the half and the area where Inter Milan was located.
John Terry, Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele, Paolo Ferreira, Edwin van der Sar, Bridge, Joe Cole......
All the players during Gao Han's Chelsea coaching period walked directly to the Inter Milan coach's bench after walking out of the players' tunnel, and all of them took the initiative to greet and hug Gao Han, and the scene looked very touching.
There is no doubt that it is the Chelsea management who have made a feud with Gao Han, but that does not stop him from forming a friendship with the players.
To Gao Han's surprise, even Drogba and Ballack, who he hadn't had much contact, came over to shake his hand.
The Chelsea fans in the stands saw it, and instead of being outraged, many of them applauded and cheered.
But Chelsea's captain, John Terry, had been dragging at the end of the crowd, always carrying his wrapped plaque in his hand, and only solemnly handed it over when he arrived in front of Gao Han.
