Chapter 620 Just because a leopard loses its arms doesn't mean it's out of danger

Ribery's father was the only one who came to watch the game?

Almost all the family members of the Bayer Leverkusen players came over and the club took care of everyone by giving five tickets to each player in the first team. However, Zheng Zhi had more tickets in his hand, he got 30 tickets, and they were all given away, and almost the entire group of relatives and friends came.

When Manchester United played the final with Bayern Munich last year, he invited five friends who stayed abroad to watch the Champions League final together, and he was a spectator at that time. Three days later, he was one of the protagonists, and he was going to stand at the Stade de France as the main heart of Bayer Leverkusen against Real Madrid.

In another quiet hotel not far from the training ground, Zheng Zhi chartered the entire hotel and used it exclusively for relatives and friends to live, in addition to relatives, Li Weifeng, Li Yin, Yang Chen and those guys are here, including food and accommodation, and watch the Champions League final for free, who doesn't come? Many teammates in the national team want to come, but unfortunately Zheng Zhi really doesn't have enough tickets in his hand to satisfy everyone.

However, Chinese fans are different, as they began to seek tickets to the Champions League final after Bayer Leverkusen reached the Champions League final.

The Stade de France in Paris has a capacity of 80,000 people, but the final ticket is said to have reached 90,000, and it was sold out three weeks ago.

In the announcement of Bayer Leverkusen FC, fans are reminded that the club prohibits the transfer of tickets under any circumstances, and the club will crack down on any fans who resell tickets through unofficial channels. Fans who have already purchased tickets but are sure that they will not be able to attend the match can contact the official ticket office and the club will issue a full refund for them.

But what is the use of such a measure?

Bayer Leverkusen received a total of 30,000 votes, but it was still far from enough. There are about 200,000 people in the entire Leverkusen area, but only about 25,000 fans were able to buy tickets, and the remaining five were missing.

"The 5,000 tickets that were taken by the Chinese fans meant that 5,000 Chinese fans would arrive at the Stade de France, and of course, there would be some tickets that would re-enter the hands of European fans," Bild said. When Leverkusen started selling tickets on the first day, there were many scalpers roaming around every day, buying tickets by various means, and even taking away the tickets they had already bought at a high price. And now, looking to buy a ticket to the Champions League? Estimated to cost £1,000, this is not alarmist, and there are people everywhere in Paris now peddling such expensive tickets. But even so, there are still many fans who are willing to take out their money bags to buy tickets, especially some Chinese fans who come all the way from the East, they are too rich. ”

Of course, there are also Chinese fans who are angry at such behavior, and some international students studying in Europe are reluctant to spend so much money to buy a ticket.

The day before the game, when the Servants came by ship from the English Channel to buy a ticket in front of Chinese scalpers, when they heard the price, they scolded on the spot.

"What a lack of morality!"

"Are you Chinese?"

"£1,000!"

"That's my living expenses for two months!"

How frustrated, how desperate, how angry.

"No wonder the most careful thing to go abroad is the Chinese people, look at your ugly faces, phew!"

The international students looked at each other with contempt.

"I didn't force you to buy it, I don't have the money to come and watch what ball? Wouldn't you sit at home and watch live TV? "Of course the scalpers are not happy, selling tickets is a business, and they are not forced to sell money to buy them, and they are also high-priced recycled tickets, why did they become ugly when they got there?

"Forget it, this kind of person is like this, they specialize in pit the countrymen, they don't have the slightest patriotism. We're sitting outside on the big screen today. ”

"If they had the ability, they should have gone to buy tickets for Real Madrid early~"

……

……

When Worrall went down to the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel on Wednesday morning, he felt bad for a moment.

"How?"

"What about people?"

"Haven't you come down yet?"

Worrall looked confused, because only Ronaldinho and Ballack, who did not play in the restaurant, were dining around the table, giggling and laughing happily, but they couldn't be counted on, and none of the other players who played the game were gone!

"Oops, didn't they sleep last night and can't get up today?" Worrall thought of this possibility and turned to ask the assistant teacher beside him.

"I don't know."

"But can't everyone be like that?"

The teaching assistant is also unclear.

"Chief,"

Barak suddenly said in a loud voice: "They all went to the training ground in advance,"

"They can't wait, they've all run through the training ground."

Hiss~

So that's the case?

Worrall and the assistant coach looked at each other and were immediately relieved.

Understandable. Wasn't it the same when he represented Marseille against AC Milan in '93? I didn't sleep for almost the whole night before the game, I couldn't sleep in bed for four hours, and I ended up sitting on the windowsill and watching the stars in Munich for the night, only to fall asleep at dawn and miss the last training session.

Now, aren't they also very similar to themselves?

Hopefully, the result is good, we can beat the unbeatable AC Manchester United that year, and we should beat Champions League giants Real Madrid this year.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he sat down quietly and began to enjoy a comfortable breakfast.

Under the leadership of Zheng Zhi, everyone ran 6 kilometers up, and then carried out basic training, and there will definitely be no high-intensity training today, just maintain the state and suppress the excitement until the arrival of eight o'clock tonight.

The starting lineup has been decided, and there is no difference from Worrall's arrangement the other day. Kovac returned to the regular right-back role, with the only change being that Ribou and Ponte were in the starting XI at the same time. Worrall opted for the more secure 451 formation rather than the 442.

In order to ensure adequate sleep and fitness, Worrall drove everyone back to the hotel at 10 a.m. to rest, and did not practice until 11:30 a.m. as usual. Although many reporters followed them, Worrall never responded, and it was not until 3 p.m. that he brought Zheng Zhi to the pre-match press conference.

"Rudy,"

"You can bear it, we've interviewed Bosque at least five times in the past few days, and you didn't plan to speak until today, do you want to try to delay another half a day and wait until after the Champions League final to be interviewed?"

"Oh, if you want that, then I'd be happy to cooperate with you." Worrall smiled, and after the mustache on his face shook up, he looked a bit like Hong Kong star Lin Zixiang, even in terms of hairstyle.

"No kidding, Rudy, is your starting lineup set?"

'It's set, but I'm not going to tell you at this time, we need to keep the starting line-up until half an hour before the game, and by then you'll be clear.'

Worrall is often like this, everyone is used to it, and every time they hide, leaving the starting list last.

"Is this game an offense or a defense?"

"The Italians say defense wins the championship, doesn't it?"

No nutrition!

The Spanish reporter squeezed out the German reporter and interjected:

"How are you going to deal with Raul, the top scorer in the Champions League?"

'Raul is a brilliant talent, but we do have a way to deal with him, I think football is a 22-man game, so we don't have to be afraid of one player, we just play as a whole and everything is natural.'

Still no nutrition!

The answer is also not interesting.

The Spanish reporter turned his head to Zheng Zhi.

"Zheng, as long as you play, do you know that you will be the youngest player in the history of the Champions League final?"

"Huh?"

"I really didn't notice this," Zheng Zhi was slightly surprised, he turned 20 years old in three months, but ...... This is wrong.

"But I think you're mistaken, the record for the youngest player to play in a Champions League final is definitely not mine."

"It's Frank Ribery."

He pronounced Ribery's name, but his heart cried out with sorrow. He remembers that the record for the youngest player in the Champions League final was held by his opponent Raul Gonzalez, and without Ribery, he could have made new history, but alas...... What a shame.

The Spanish reporter was obviously stunned, he really didn't think about Ribery from beginning to end, he just thought about Zheng Zhi, who would have thought that there would be a Ribery?

The French journalist was nearby, and they immediately cheered, "yes, the youngest player to play should be Frank Ribery,"

"It's us French!"

The French reporter instantly became proud, really like a rooster. When everyone was talking about Zheng Zhi, they finally found the topic, Ribery was too face-saving for the French.

Of course, Yan Qiang of "Sports Weekly" couldn't make them laugh too happily, he immediately shouted in English.

"Although Franck Ribery may be the youngest player to play in the Champions League, Zheng Zhi is also likely to be the youngest goalscorer in the Champions League? As long as he scores in the game, he also makes a new history. ”

Wow~

The crowd below was in an uproar again.

This is indeed a record.

"But if Ribery also scored, wouldn't Ribery also set such a record? Haha, it's still Frank Ribery who has the advantage. ”

The Spanish reporter shook his head, "As long as Real Madrid wins, what's the point of which of you getting this record?" ”

"You're too confident, the game isn't over yet, don't be slapped in the face by your own words."

The Spanish journalists' words instantly aroused the displeasure of journalists in Germany, China, France and even Brazil, where almost all of them supported Bayer Leverkusen, who did not have Spanish players in the team.

At this time, Zheng Zhi was thinking about what Yan Qiang said just now, the youngest goalscorer in the Champions League final? This record is indeed ...... It doesn't matter if it's Ribery or himself, as long as he can score, it's okay.

"Zheng, as far as I know, this is the most challenging race you've had this season, and you've never lacked so many helpers around you?"

Zheng Zhi retracted his thoughts and looked at the reporter who asked the question.

"What does it mean to lack so many helpers?"

"We're still 11 guys."

"My helpers have never been less, no more, no less, they have always been there. I know what you're trying to say, but you're wrong, in a crucial game like this, the technical stuff is less important, it's the will, the determination, the confidence and the luck that are more decisive. I'm sure all my teammates will put in the best performances. ”

'I wish Real Madrid thought the same way, so we're smiling.'

Could it be that Real Madrid still dares to be proud?

Of course not.

Bosque was also quite low-key in the subsequent press conference, and he would not let his tail go up because of the lack of major generals at Leverkusen.

"Just because a leopard loses both arms doesn't mean it's out of danger."

"Because they're armed to the teeth."

"Once you get bitten, maybe it's a tragedy."

'So I've been emphasizing to the players these days that nothing has changed at all with this Bayer Leverkusen team, they're baring their teeth and grinning, just waiting for us to come up to us and bite us hard.

"So, what we have to do is hold the shotgun, focus on every movement of the leopard, and when he pounces, we will give them a few shots!"

Although the spinach company is still optimistic about Real Madrid, the handicap is getting lower and lower, and now it is a goal, but Bosque does not dare to be careless.

……

……

"Audience friends, fans and friends, good evening, I'm Huang Jianxiang,"

"I'm Zhang Lu,"

"Welcome to the 99-00 Champions League final, Real Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen."

"Today's match will be played at 20:00 Paris time at the Stade de France,"

"I believe many fans are familiar with the Stade de France, which was the venue for the final of the 1998 World Cup in France, and the French team won the Hercules Cup on its home turf two years ago, crowning the Hercules Cup champion for the first time in history. We were all spectators of the World Cup at the time, and our national team couldn't come here. However, two years later, our hero, Zheng Zhi, the pride of Chinese football, brought us back here. ”

"Tonight, we're no longer spectators."

"We are Zheng Zhi's strongest backing!"

"We are fortunate to be able to witness the greatest players of Chinese football standing at the Stade de France to create miracles."

"Once he wins the championship, he will make countless pieces of history and will go down in the history of football in China, Asia, Europe and even the world."

"And at this point, the first person in Asia must belong to Zheng Zhi, not Che Fangen!"

"Of course, even if he fails, he is proud enough, he is already on the stage of the Champions League final!"

Far away in the capital of China.

A number of Korean students sat in their dormitories staring at their televisions watching the Champions League final.

"What does this guy say about Smecta?"

"It's so hateful, Smecta!"

"If you win the championship, you will talk about Smecta !!"

……

……

"Hehe, it's not Che Fangen who is surpassing him,"

"This is the Champions Cup, not the League Cup!"
