Due to its proximity to London, PSG had not arrived in London until noon the day before.

After checking into the hotel, the team took a short break and headed to Wembley Stadium to familiarize themselves with the playing field arranged by UEFA.

Gao Han is more familiar with Wembley Stadium than anyone else on either side, and during his time in charge of Manchester City, he led the team to play in this stadium I don't know how many finals, so Paris Saint-Germain was more prepared and set up more calmly.

With the arrival of the Champions League final teams in London, security in the UK has also been upgraded.

According to Agence France-Presse, the French and British governments have received credible information that individual suspects are planning bomb attacks on the Champions League final, especially in fan-populated areas, which has caused fear across Europe.

The British government also came forward to say that it will do its best to ensure the orderly conduct of the Champions League final, and they have basically locked up the suspects, but the time and place are not completely certain, but they promise to be fully vigilant.

Under the threat of terrorist attacks, Paris Saint-Germain's every move after arriving in London was closely protected, and the training of familiarity with the venue was cleared throughout the whole process, and no one was allowed to enter or approach.

Fortunately, under strict protection, the potential threat of a terrorist attack did not affect the preparation mood of the PSG players, and the whole familiarization training was carried out in an orderly manner.

It was sunset after training, and the team left Wembley Stadium and returned to the hotel with Zinedine Zidane and other assistants, while Gao Han was accompanied by UEFA officials to attend the pre-match press conference and the official UEFA dinner.

When Gao Han arrived at the venue, many protesters gathered outside to demonstrate, mainly to protest against UEFA's recent handing over of the Under-21 European Youth Championship to Israel, and many protesters held banners at the scene.

For such a scene, Gao Han has long been accustomed to it, as long as the scene is orderly.

"We have just received a notification from the London police that a group of extreme Catalan fans arrived in London and had a violent clash with the Paris Saint-Germain fans and the scene got out of control. ”

After the UEFA official in charge of the reception received Gao Han, the two walked quickly to the venue and said with a depressed expression.

Every year before the Champions League final, the off-field news always occupies the news page.

In European football, the influence of professional football is deeply ingrained in every corner of society, and countless fans regard it as a belief and want to take out their opponents in every possible way, and off-field conflicts are also endless.

"Has anyone been hurt?" Gao Han was used to it.

Not to mention the Champions League final, even in the French Cup final not long ago, local fans in Paris clashed with fans in Bordeaux, but the Paris police controlled it well and did not cause bloodshed.

"There are three fans who have been injured, all of them have been properly treated and are no longer in serious trouble, mainly due to some iron rods. ”

Gao Han was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This kind of large-scale fan gathering is often a huge test for the security and police of the host city.

"In addition, we have given the team notice that we will be at Wembley Stadium early tomorrow afternoon, and we will have an international superstar senior match in the afternoon as a warm-up event, when the legendary superstars such as Van der Sar, Figo, Cannavaro, McManaman will be present and will fight in teams. ”

Gao Han had already received this message before, it was a special arrangement of UEFA and a special event for this year's Champions League final, inviting a total of 24 retired legends to participate.

"Wait a minute, you can see them at the official dinner. ”

After Gao Han heard this, he happened to come to the press conference hall, nodded his head, pushed open the door and entered the backyard.

…………

…………

The entire Champions League final has been well established and the timing has been well planned.

Not long after Gao Han arrived at the venue, Barcelona coach Vilanova ended his pre-match press conference.

This year's winter in Europe came late and went late, and although it was late May, long-sleeved autumn clothes were generally worn.

However, Bilanova was obviously dressed more, wearing a thick black suit with a gray scarf, his face looked a little pale, and the whole person also gave people a feeling of lack of energy.

In the past six months or so, he has been traveling back and forth between Spain and the United States to treat his parotid cancer.

"Hey, Tito. ”

As soon as Gao Han saw Villanova, he immediately greeted him.

Although the two have never agreed, as Guardiola's assistant, Vilanova is no stranger to Gao Han.

"How's it going?" Gao Han cared about Villanova's condition.

Villanova smiled and nodded, "It's basically fine, but I'm a little weak." ”

As you can tell, everything went well with his treatment in New York, USA.

This also made Gao Han very happy for Villanova, and at the same time wished him a speedy recovery.

And Vilanova is also gearing up for the Champions League final, saying that he can't wait to let Gao Han be careful.

Gao Han smiled and said that he would not show mercy to Bilanova's men.

…………

…………

As with all pre-match press conferences, the process of the press conference before the Champions League final is pretty much the same.

Gao Han took the lead in announcing the 18-man squad for the game, except for Yaya Toure, who was suspended due to accumulating yellow cards, the other players who should have been selected were basically selected.

Gao Han regretted that Yaya Toure missed the Champions League final, because Yaya Toure is one of the most important players in the team's midfield, but he believes that PSG has enough bench depth to fill the void left by Yaya Toure well and will not have much impact on the game.

'For me, Wembley Stadium has always been a place of good fortune and I have been directing games in this stadium a lot when I was in charge of the Premier League, and coming back to Wembley Stadium gives me a very strong and familiar feeling. ”

"It's a football game that doesn't need to be mobilized, and being in the final is in itself the best motivation for the pros, and I'm sure my players will give it their all and we'll have the last laugh. ”

For Barcelona, the opponent of this final, Gao Han said that this team is still outstanding.

"In the last year or two, there has been a lot of talk about Barcelona starting to go downhill and leaving the top, but I would say that the level of this team is still very high, Vilanova is a very high level manager, he has his own coaching style, and he will adjust his tactics according to the actual situation of the team, and they won La Liga with an absolute advantage, which is not easy. ”

"Messi, Ibrahimovic, Andres Iniesta, Xavi and other players are very familiar to me, they are all very individual players, and there is no doubt that Barcelona are still one of the best teams in football today, so I think this game will be very competitive because both sides are hungry to win. ”

And Gao Han also mentions Paris Saint-Germain.

"All of us, including the whole of France, are looking forward to bringing us back to Paris, Ligue 1 is not low and it is developing very fast, but they have not been able to win the top honours in Europe for too long, maybe a St. Brover Cup can be a good stimulus for Ligue 1. ”

'I heard the French fans before and after coming to London and I wanted to not disappoint them. ”

At the end of the press conference, Gao Han also made an exception to talk about his plans for the future.

'Yes, it's a great honour for any manager and player, and for me too, but I'm going to be a little bit more calm because I've won it a couple of times, so I'm pretty sure I won't be sleepless tonight because it's an important game, but it's just one game. ”

'I would say that tomorrow's game will probably be the last Champions League game of my managerial career, the last time I lift the St. Bride Cup, and I have a lot of confidence in me, we will have the last laugh and my players will fight to do what we all want. ”

This confession is also equivalent to admitting the rumors from the outside world that he will retire, and for his plans after retirement, Gao Han said that he may take a break for a while and devote more energy to the operation of Chinatown.

"I believe that in the future, there should be no more hype about my confrontation with Chinatown. Gao Han laughed teasingly.

The media reporters also laughed, but there will definitely be other hype topics when the time comes.

For example, if Chinatown's performance is not satisfactory, Gao Han will fire the head coach in a fit of anger and take up the position of coach himself.

News like this is sure to catch the eye, and it's something that fans love.

…………

…………

After the press conference, Gao Han was taken by the staff to the venue of the official dinner.

At this regular dinner, in addition to the head coaches and officials of the two sides, not only the British royal family arranged for the cold neighbor Prince William to come in person, but also Ferguson and Beckham, as well as Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger and other famous coaches also accompanied him.

What pleased Gao Han the most was that the relationship between Ferguson and Beckham had improved a lot, and they began to communicate.

It is clear that after leaving the United position, Ferguson has gradually let go of the depression in his heart.

However, there was an unexpected incident at the dinner scene.

Although the London police have strengthened security measures due to rumors of terrorist attacks, there are still three extreme fans in Catalonia, disguised as on-site security guards, mixed into the dinner, and then raised slogans to protest against Gao Han, and two of them even rushed to Gao Han, threatening to beat Gao Han hard.

Fortunately, the three were immediately restrained, and the police arrested them on the spot.

UEFA President Michel Platini and Secretary-General Gianni Infantino also came forward to calm down, expressing regret over the incident.

Then, Platini personally apologized to Gao Han, and said that UEFA had passed Gao Han's appeal at the executive committee meeting this afternoon, and decided to adjust the yellow card suspension mechanism for the Champions League and Europa League.

Gao Han is also very happy about this, although Yaya Toure is not needed, but this is undoubtedly good news for other players, to ensure that similar tragedies will not happen again.

But after the emergency, Gao Han was not very relieved about the team staying in the hotel, and the dinner was not over, so he told Platini and Ferguson and others to leave the dinner scene early.
