Gossip comes fast and goes fast.

When the Champions League final approached, Real Madrid were in no mood for gossip and everyone was in training for the final and most important game of the season.

Until then, Real Madrid have one more league game.

On May 19, the final round of La Liga was ushered in, with Real Madrid away to Malaga.

The Real Madrid coaching staff used the game as a warm-up before the Champions League, many players were given the opportunity to play, Zhen Shaolong also played 45 minutes, adapting to the state of the game, his performance could not be called very good, but he also scored a goal to help Real Madrid draw 2-2 with Malaga.

At this point, the league ends.

The final round of the league was still very meaningful, and after Real Madrid's draw with Malaga, the La Liga points were extended to 101 points, and a new championship points record was created.

In addition, Real Madrid are unbeaten in the season.

La Liga has never been unbeaten in the history of the season, in fact, there are very few unbeaten titles in the top five leagues, only twice, one in the history of AC Milan in the 1991-1992 season, they set a record of 58 games unbeaten and won the Serie A title undefeated.

The second team is Arsenal, in the 2003-2004 season, Arsenal's results were draws and 0 losses, scoring 90 league goals, and also creating the proudest memories in Arsenal's history.

Now it's Real Madrid.

Real Madrid won the championship undefeated, combined with last season's unbeaten record of 42 league games, which deserves to be noted by the media around the world.

What needs to be talked about in the last round is Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong played 45 minutes and scored a goal, a goal is nothing to him, but it has brought his La Liga goal tally to 61, surpassing the 60 goals scored in the Premier League last season, setting a new goal record in the five major leagues.

After the game.

A large number of media have reported on this, and the words Real Madrid and Zhen Shaolong frequently appear in the report.

One race, three records, it's really fascinating.

Real Madrid is about to participate in the Champions League final, and the Spanish media are also happy to use it to build momentum for the game, so that Real Madrid shows its suppression of Inter Milan and makes Real Madrid fans more confident that the team will win the championship.

Internally, there are not many people talking about it.

The players also congratulated Zhen Shaolong out of politeness, because in their opinion, it is very normal for Zhen Shaolong to create more goal records, they are all witnesses of the goal record, and in the last few rounds of the team's league, Zhen Shaolong did not play much time at all, otherwise he would definitely create a bigger record.

So, it's nothing.

With the progress of time, Real Madrid is also nervous, about to face the Champions League final, even experienced C-Ronaldo, Kaka, Raul and other players, are a little excited in their hearts, they have indeed participated in the Champions League final, and they have won the Champions League, but if they really have to face the new Champions League final, it is absolutely a lie to say that they are not nervous, because the honor of the Champions League final is too great.

That's the highest honour for European clubs!

The highest stage for players!

Hundreds of millions of people around the world will watch the game, and more than 100 countries will broadcast the game live!

Every action, every performance, and even every expression in that kind of competition will become the focus of many fans, and maybe taking a deep breath during the game can be noticed by tens of millions of fans, and there will be a lot of people talking about it.

This is the Champions League final!

On 21 May, two days before the start of the match, the club opened its doors to the media partners at noon, allowing Marca journalists to enter and interview the players.

The Marca reporter interviewed several players in succession and asked them questions about the final, and their feature name was, "Heroes out!" The final is a test for Real Madrid, a test for every player! ”

Pepe became the first "hero", not because of his fame, or anything, but because he was injured before, and after half a year of injury, he appeared in the Champions League for the first time, and it turned out to be a Champions League final, which sounds very interesting.

Pepe was very excited, he said, "I'm going to play in the final, and I'm feeling incredible. I was injured for half a year, and it was a difficult process, and I didn't know what I would face after I recovered from the injury, and I didn't know if I would be able to fully recover. ”

"Now I'm not worried, I've got the affirmation from the coach, the affirmation from my team-mates, and I'll start."

"It was a tough test for me personally and I knew I had to do well!"

The second to be interviewed was Raul.

Raul and Guti had dinner together from the restaurant, and when they went out, they ran into reporters, remembering to briefly ignore Guti next to him, and directly asked Raul for his opinion on the upcoming final.

"I'm not going to start and it's hard to play, but for me it's more important for Real Madrid to win. I'll cheer on my team-mates off the pitch and I'll do a good job off the pitch. ”

"I'm expecting Real Madrid to win the title, it's going to be an exciting time!"

The reporter immediately turned the camera on Guti, who was a little depressed and was ignored just now, and said simply, "Yes, I agree with Raul." ”

Next up is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo also said he was looking forward to winning the title, and he also talked about the experience of winning the title at Manchester United two years ago, "We beat Chelsea on penalties and it's still exciting to look back, but I hope to decide the winner in 90 minutes, the uncertainty of the penalty is too high. ”

It's clear that Cristiano Ronaldo has more confidence, he's younger, he won the Champions League two years ago, and more importantly, he has confidence in his own quality, combined with his confidence in the team, and he's sure he can win.

The reporter's interview with C-Ronaldo was a morale boost, and then they interviewed Casillas, Ramos and other players respectively, and everyone expressed their fighting spirit and confidence.

After a series of interviews, the reporter also appeared on camera, saying, "We can see that everyone has confidence in the game and believes that Real Madrid will win like this." ”

"We're going to be interviewing the game, and I'm sure our heroes already know a lot about the game and the opponent."

Meantime.

Zhen Shaolong was changing training clothes in the locker room, and he heard his teammates talking about the interview, and he inquired about the content, "The reporter will let me talk about the game and confidence." ”

It's easy!

Zhen Shaolong learned that it was a special interview, and the pictures during the interview would be reported and played, and he felt that he should make some preparations.

And then.

He opened the Internet search page, looked up some heated words, organized some words, and when he decided to interview, he memorized the content according to the content.

After being prepared, Zhen Shaolong was looking forward to the interview, he walked out of the locker room in his training uniform, and just arrived at the small flower bed to the training ground, he met the reporter of "Marca".

The reporter is a small middle-aged man, chubby and pleasant, and the smile on his face is full of "affinity".

Zhen Shaolong sees it this way.

The fat reporter is not alone, it is a small group of three, there is an assistant with a bag next to him, and a cameraman with a lens, they saw Zhen Shaolong and immediately greeted him.

"Can I give you a brief interview?"

"Absolutely."

Zhen Shaolong waited for the interview with a smile.

The fat reporter immediately asked, "Real Madrid is about to usher in the Champions League final, the opponent is Italy's Inter Milan, the club should have done a lot of work, so how much do you know about Inter Milan?" ”

"Zhen, for you, the most important thing should be the defense, can you talk about Inter Milan's defense, or talk about their defenders......"

“……”

“……”

Zhen Shaolong just wanted to talk about his ready fighting spirit, but he found that there was something wrong with the questioning.

Inter Milan's backline?

Hell knows!

Of course, Real Madrid will be prepared for the game, and will analyze Inter Milan's attack and defense, and the coaching staff will also arrange the corresponding style of play and remind the players to pay attention to which opponents.

But......

As a striker, what you only know is your own tactical play, and the opponent's information is to listen to the coaches, and other players will probably know what defenders Inter Milan has, and Zhen Shaolong usually cares less about this aspect.

Fortunately, how many names does he know?

"Ahem...... "Lucio! I know Lucio, it's a very good opponent, we meet it almost every season, and it's said that he went to Italy and had a success? I remember one time on Twitter, he also gave me a thumbs up! ”

The fat reporter nodded suddenly, "Indeed, Lucio is the most important player in Inter's defense, what about the others?" ”

Zhen Shaolong hesitated and thought carefully for a long time, "Gattuso? The guy who runs fast? ”

'He plays for AC Milan.

"Alexander-Song? But I remember he was at Arsenal, he didn't go to Inter? ”

'He's still at Arsenal.'

Zhen Shaolong continued to think embarrassedly, and suddenly thought of the name that must be an Inter player, "Eto'o!" Right! Eto'o! I remember he went to Inter Milan! ”

"He's a striker."

"Of course I know ......," Mr. Zhen added.

The fat reporter was embarrassed when he heard it, and immediately helped explain, "We can hear that Zhen Shaolong cares about the opponent of the striker, and he probably also cares about the opponent's striker players and what kind of performance they will have in the game." ”

Zhen Shaolong inhaled depressedly, simply took the initiative to face the camera, shook his head and said, "Okay, to be honest, I don't care what defenders the opponent has, I don't care at all, because no matter who it is, don't try to stop me from scoring." ”

"It's that simple!"

He said with great certainty as he shook his fist.

The fat reporter's eyes lit up, and then he said loudly, "That's right, this is Zhen Shaolong, everyone has seen it, this is confidence, in the game, not afraid of any opponent's confidence!" ”

At the same time.

Inter Milan FC was also riddled with pre-match tension, and they were more pressing than Real Madrid.

Because of the venue.

The match was played at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, with Real Madrid facing their opponents at home stadium, and the two days away from the game were two days, and the time was not shortened.

Inter Milan is different.

Inter Milan had to come to Madrid two days earlier, it felt like two days less than Real Madrid, they had already left two days before the game, they arrived in Madrid in the afternoon, and it felt like the game was starting immediately.

As the manager of Inter Milan, Mourinho's pressure is unimaginable.

Inter Milan eliminated Barcelona in the semi-finals, so that the team is full of fighting spirit, and the miracle can be said to be created by Mourinho, but the so-called "miracle" itself "means that Inter Milan is not as strong as Barcelona."

What about Real Madrid?

They beat Barcelona twice in La Liga!

So for Inter Milan, the final is not easier than the semi-final, and the Italian media expect Inter Milan to continue to create miracles, but miracles are not easy to create.

In the past 20 days, Mourinho racked his brains to think about the final, carefully study the opponent Real Madrid, in fact, there is nothing to study, Real Madrid wins mostly rely on the star play, the two most important players are Zhen Shaolong and C-Ronaldo.

C-Ronaldo is relatively better, and he may not be able to score goals when he gives the opportunity, but Zhen Shaolong is different, and there is no good way to limit it in world football today.

Mourinho knew he couldn't help it.

He tried.

Last season, Inter Milan met Newcastle United, it was the group stage of the Champions League, and Zhen Shaolong's two-legged performance was very experienced, so that Inter Milan had no way to do it at the back.

Mourinho carefully watched the videos of the two games, and he found that his defenders did not have any problems defending, but the opponent's performance was too good.

In the semi-finals, Real Madrid defeated Bayern Munich.

In the second leg, Zhen Shaolong's performance was also quite amazing, showing superb foot skills, and the long-range shot in the second half was also tricky, and Bayern could be said to have lost to him alone.

How can such a player be restricted?

If Zhen Shaolong is not restricted, let him score two goals, three goals, or even more goals, Inter Milan will not win at all.

In an interview with the media, Mourinho expressed his confidence in the game, but in fact, he did not have much confidence because he could not come up with a precise and effective way to limit Zhen Shaolong.

The only thing he could think of was--

Limit your feet.

When Zhen Shaolong got the ball, the player kept pressing closely, not seeking to be able to snatch the ball down, but just using all means to not give him the space to shoot normally, as long as he did this, he could limit his goals if he didn't let him shoot normally.

If it's just restricting space, it's much easier to defend.

There are two players who follow closely all the time, and they don't take the initiative to grab the ball, they just keep following, and no matter how good the technique is, it is very, very difficult to pull out the space.

Jose Mourinho has confidence in the quality of his players.

Lucio.

Cambiasso.

Mourinho handpicked two defenders and asked them to focus on limiting Zhen Shaolong.

Of course.

While sending two people to restrict, it will be difficult for Cambiaso to participate in the attack, and other players will also need to take care of the defense, and Inter Milan will have to play defensive counter-attack.

But.

Jose Mourinho is already good at counter-attacking, and he can't let Inter Milan and Real Madrid play against each other.

That's not going to race.

It's a towel.

Mourinho let out a long sigh and walked out of the room after looking at the time, Inter Milan was about to depart, and he was about to be on the plane to think.

That day.

The Inter Milan team arrived in Madrid to kick off the 2010 Champions League final.

Various media have interviewed and reported.

Real Madrid didn't seem to feel the urgency and they went about their day's training as normal.

Afterwards.

Manuel Pellegrini had a tactical lesson about Inter and the game.

In the process of the tactical class, Zhen Shaolong was a little sleepy, not that he didn't want to listen carefully to the class, but he explained a lot about the opponent's offense, he didn't need to participate in the defense, and the relevant content had nothing to do with him.

So, he slept again.

Every time Zhen Shaolong is sleepy in the tactical class, he can rest for more than ten minutes, and several coaches in the team will not disturb him, they are really difficult to be strict with Zhen Shaolong, because Zhen Shaolong's performance is so good that he can score goals whether he listens to the tactical class or not......

What else to say?

The coaching staff doesn't expect the same from everyone else.

Must be serious!

Must concentrate!

When a certain player is suspected of desertion, he will immediately be criticized by Pellegrini!

So.

Real Madrid's tactical lessons showed how unequal society is.

"Alas!"

Zhen Shaolong let out a sigh, he was not lamenting injustice, but was woken up by a sudden system prompt.

"Hint: There is a new system task triggered--

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho is going to limit you with a 'limited kick' approach, you need to show great shooting skills in the game and let everyone know that you can't be restricted.
