Chapter 920: He's the Best!
Summer is about to begin, but the cold wind in London still carries a hint of chill.
In the morning, the weather is still overcast, giving people a sense of imminent storm, but this still can't stop the hot emotions of the fans, and the streets of London are full of unrestrained football.
In the Champions League final, London is crowded with fans from the UK, Spain and around the world, and the hotel near Wembley Stadium in the west is overcrowded and hard to find, but for Lin Xia, it doesn't matter at all.
Their house near Kensington Palace never sold.
With the end of April, after Prince William's wedding, officially moved into Kensington Palace, the surrounding housing prices can be described as rising by leaps and bounds, attracting the attention of investors all over the world, and it can even be said that there is no market.
It happened that there was a holiday this time, so Lin Xia took Xiao Gaoshen and invited his parents-in-law, his parents, and Xiang Tianming, who accompanied them, to live in a mansion near Kensington Palace.
In the morning, when they had nothing to do, the group decided to take a stroll around nearby Hyde Park.
According to Gao Han, in order to better set off the atmosphere of the Champions League final, the London City Council held a large-scale fan amusement event in Hyde Park, which dressed up the huge Hyde Park as a paradise for fans, attracting all fans who came to London, which was very lively.
A group of people leisurely strolled through the streets of London, talking and laughing.
Xiao Gaoshen is the most active among the crowd, he doesn't let people lead at all, he takes the lead in front, and he makes everyone laugh.
Lin Xia was brewing a pre-game column of his own while walking.
Last night, she was invited to a UEFA event and met a number of people, among whom she was impressed by the FA official in charge of youth training, who wanted Linxia to convey his gratitude for what Gao Han had done at Manchester City.
"As you can see, we have a rainy weather all year round, the climate is very cold, which is not suitable for the development of football at all, unlike sunny Spain, which is the ideal place for children to chase football, even in the winter, they can enjoy football as much as they want, while our children can only shiver in the cold storm. ”
"The difference in climate has a very big impact on football culture, which has formed the traditional culture of English football in the past few years, but do you know that Gao Han has been to the Premier League twice, and he has refreshed our understanding of football twice, and he has made us realize that football can also be played in this way in this land. ”
"Objective climatic conditions can be improved by physical facilities, for example, we are encouraging clubs to build indoor training grounds, but culture is so deeply rooted that it is often extremely difficult to make a small change. ”
"Thank you very much to Gao Han, the new football culture he brought is slowly changing us, including the academy. ”
This was the first time that someone had praised and thanked her husband in front of Lin Xia like this, and she felt extremely proud and proud.
Just as everyone was walking leisurely, Xiao Gaoshen, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
The handsome little guy first looked ahead in a daze, then turned around and shouted to the crowd who were slowly walking over, "Mom, look, that's Dad!"
Everyone followed Xiao Gaoshen's gesture and saw that at the entrance of Hyde Park in the distance, a realistic poster of Gao Han was erected, so that people could clearly see it from a long distance.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this poster, because it was so huge and very realistic.
And when they took Xiao Gaoshen's hand and approached the huge poster, they saw that countless fans gathered under the poster who had heard the news, and took photos with the poster under the maintenance of order by the on-site staff.
Among the crowd of fans, the most clear and clear voice they can hear is, "He's the best manager in the world, and there's no one better than him." ”
In a word, Lin Xia and the others are honored, and they are even more proud than boasting about themselves.

In the afternoon, it was drizzling in London and temperatures hovering around 10 degrees, with a bit lower expected before tonight's game.
Pep Guardiola sits in the café at the Grover Hotel, looking out at the gray world through the drops of water on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
On the table next to him was a morning Guardian newspaper, with a front-page column by gold medal journalist Greene Wald, detailing his thoughts and predictions for the Champions League final.
Pep Guardiola knows Greene Wald, knows him as a friend of Gao Han, and can always reveal some clues from the pre-game, so this time I wanted to read his column.
According to Green Wald's speculation, the main lineup of Gao Han's game will not change in the slightest, and it will still be the main force, making it clear that the horses will attack to break Barcelona's defense, which makes Guardiola look like iron.
His own team knows best, how to defend, Guardiola knows in his heart.
Barcelona has three full-fledged central defenders in the team, in addition to the rightful main player Pique, and the aging Puyol, there is also a lot of injuries Gabriel Milito, but the Argentine central defender who spent Barcelona 20 million euros has never played the main team except after the first season after joining.
And Pep Guardiola's Ukrainian central defender Ziglinsky, who originally had high hopes, only played for one season after joining in 09, and was sent back to Ukraine for various reasons.
In the left-back position, Abidal has just undergone liver tumor surgery and has recovered very quickly, but his form has not been particularly stable, and Brazilian left-back Adriano played the main role during Abidal's recuperation, but his performance was not ideal, which made Barcelona's left-back position always a hidden danger.
In fact, whether it is Gao Han or Guardiola, it is very clear that the meeting of the two teams is destined to be an offensive battle.
Barcelona is not defensive, Guardiola is impossible to defend, and Manchester City will only take the initiative and will not give up possession to Barcelona, so it is still unknown who will die between the two teams.
Just judging from the pre-match cards, the cold Manchester City is clearly slightly better.
According to the information obtained by the Barcelona scouts, in the last training session yesterday afternoon, Gao Han opened his training to the outside world, and arranged a group of main lineups during the training of the detachment, which made everyone have to admire his courage and confidence.
But Pep Guardiola is more concerned about the details, it is said that during the training period Manchester City's players behaved very relaxed, frequently on the field of wonderful performances, the players also talked and laughed with each other, Gao Han even played up, once the ball rolled to the sidelines, directly pulled out the leg and shot angrily, the result was shot into an anti-aircraft gun, and even the ball was snatched away by the fans who came to watch and did not return.
This is a psychological battle against Guardiola before the game.
Guardiola smiled wryly, "You still know me too well!"
He still clearly remembers that when he was Gao Han's assistant, Gao Han once said that he thought too much about everything, and sometimes the more he thought about it, the easier it was to suffer from gains and losses, so it was better not to think about anything at all, roll up his sleeves and fight.
Even now, he hasn't practiced such a state of mind.
Pep Guardiola looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows covered with drizzle droplets into the hazy and hazy world outside.
It's like he's in the mood right now.
…………
…………
Before the decisive battle, it is always extraordinarily quiet.
The road from the hotel to Wembley Stadium, Manchester City has not known how many times it has been back and forth in the past year or so, and it has long been very familiar, and the bus driver is also very familiar with it.
Everyone in the car seemed very calm.
In fact, Manchester City is very different from the teams that Gao Han has led in the past, because this team is almost all famous stars, they are very experienced, and they know how to coordinate their mood before the game, adjust their emotions and prepare for the game.
Even when it comes to Champions League finals, they are no strangers to them.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka have all been there many times, Xavi Alonso, Luka Modric and Petr Cech have all done it once, and they have all won the title.
All of this makes Manchester City not lose to Barcelona in terms of game experience.
Of course, the La Liga giants have a bit more experience in the Champions League.
The team's bus sped along the highway in north-west London and soon found its way into Wembley Stadium.
Under the highway is Wembley Avenue, which leads directly to the stadium, and the road is full of shops on both sides, which is already brightly lit and crowded, and each subway will send fans from all over the world into Wembley Avenue, and the crowds will push forward in waves, sending everyone into Wembley Stadium in the distance.
The bus bypassed the pedestrian walkway and entered the confines of Wembley Stadium before stopping at the players' tunnel leading to the dressing room.
Due to the separation of people and vehicles, there are not many fans waiting for the arrival of the team at the entrance of the players' tunnel, and everyone chooses to enter Wembley Stadium in advance and wait for the game to begin.
But Manchester City's arrival still caused many fans to cheer.
After all, this is the place of the English.
Tonight, the whole of Britain is cheering on Manchester City.
After the bus stopped, everyone in the car did not get up immediately, but looked at Gao Han, who was sitting in the front row.
The Manchester City manager got up from his seat, calmly turned around and looked at the players in front of him through the lights on the roof of the car.
This could well be his last game for Manchester City.
When Gao Han was looking at the players, the players were also looking at him, they had worked together for two years, and many things and many words no longer needed to be said, as long as they looked at each other, they knew each other's meaning.
How to play the game, it has been arranged before the game, what should be said, what should be paid attention to, Gao Han has also been repeatedly advised.
The rest is up to the players on the pitch.
Gao Han stood straight like this, watching, all the players were also standing in front of their seats, looking at the head coach silently as well, which made the atmosphere in the carriage a little tense.
It was also at this moment that they were somewhat nervous before the war.
This made the bus drivers at the front a little confused, not knowing what was going on, why did they all stand and don't speak, and didn't get off?
Did you go to the wrong door?
But when you look at the car, the stadium staff is obviously signaling that he can get out of the car, and the security personnel and police on the scene are also in place, separating all the fans from a passage, so that everyone can enter the players' tunnel unhindered and go directly to the locker room.
Why don't you get out of the car?
It wasn't until the bus driver couldn't help but want to ask that Gao Han coughed heavily.
"Guys, are you all ready?"
"Get ready, boss. The players replied in unison.
"Very good!" Gao Han nodded vigorously, "Let's go!"
After saying that, he turned around and stepped out of the bus first.
