Simeone stood in the dressing room and all the players finished their warm-up and returned to the dressing room.

After all, they have all the preparations, and now there is only one thing left, and that is to listen to the boss before the game.

Simeone didn't rush to speak, but raised his wrist to look at his watch.

Then he said, "In 20 minutes, it will be the most important game of your career, and even of your life...... I remember two years ago, after we lost in Lisbon, I went to the post-match press conference...... When I walked into the venue, all the reporters who were waiting there stood up and looked at me and applauded. Frankly...... It was a very touching scene, and it was really different for me to be able to get so many applause as a loser. But I don't like that. ”

Simeone pursed his lips at this.

"As I choose, I want Carlo Ancelotti to enjoy this touching moment. I don't want to be sympathized and respected, I just want a championship. I'm willing to do anything for the sake of the championship. If we can't win the championship, then those touching scenes can only deceive others with cheap tears. If you're also moved by such a scene, you're doomed. Because you feel like it's not bad to lose the game...... Guys, every day, every night since then, I remember how it felt to lose the game. I watch the footage of that game at least once a month. ”

The players were surprised, they didn't expect their boss to be so ruthless......

Especially the players who experienced that defeat, they wanted to forget that game completely, and they didn't want to recall the scene that made them feel sad and painful.

As a result, their head coach did not forget it day and night, and even watched the game video once a month......

"Why am I doing this? I'm not trying to remember the feeling of defeat – something I don't do and can't forget – I just want to find a way to beat them. I wonder why we were able to equalise in the last minute when we were leading for so long. Some say it's because we're unlucky, don't ...... I would say that it was because we must have failed to do something right, we must have forgotten something very important that led to that goal in the 93rd minute. I looked over and over again, and I did find a lot of things that I didn't think about at the beginning, or that we didn't do well enough. I won't allow anything like this to happen again......"

Simeone said with a serious expression.

'After losing that game, we still won two league titles. But no matter how many other trophies we've won, if we can't win this Champions League, then we're not going to get back on our feet. Thank God He gave us the same opponent again in the Champions League final. This is the perfect time for revenge, yes, revenge! I'm sure each and every one of you is thinking about it. We have worked hard for two years for this reason, and we dare not slack off for a moment, just like the strength we have accumulated for two years. And now, it's time to throw that punch! ”

Simeone threw a punch.

"With the strength and anger that we have been accumulating for two years! Hit them in the nose! ”

Simeone said through gritted teeth.

Zinedine Zidane stood in the dressing room, surrounded by all the staff and Real Madrid players, and they all stood up, with Zidane as the center, surrounded by two floors.

Everyone put their hands behind their backs and listened to Zidane in the center of the circle.

“…… Half a season ago, no one could have imagined that we would be in the Champions League final. But when I decided to take over you, I had this idea, and I believe you can do it. It turns out that I was right, you do have the ability. I'm very happy because you all know that you play for the best team in the world and you deserve the crest on your chest! ”

Ramos held his head up with a proud expression.

"Maybe some of you remember how we beat them two seasons ago. But now you have to erase that memory from me, and don't think about how we won in the first place. Atletico Madrid today is completely different from the Atletico Madrid team of the past. If you still think the same way, I assure you, you will definitely lose. Zidane said with a serious expression.

He looked around and saw that every Real Madrid player he saw had a serious expression on his face, and there was no exception to his words that he took to heart.

This is very satisfying for him, and only then will he be able to ensure that he has the last laugh in the final.

Cristiano Ronaldo stood in the inner circle, his expression was just as serious, even a little murderous.

In the league, he has already lost to Gao Zheng, but fortunately he still has the opportunity to win the Champions League.

The league is a long process, and even if you defeat Gao Zheng, you can't win the league championship.

But the Champions League final is different, and now it's very simple – as long as I beat Gao Zheng, I can win the Champions League.

Individual combat and collective honor are highly unified.

And a game is a winner, as long as you win this one, you don't have to worry that there is a second round that can make Gao Zheng turn the tables again.

These two seasons have been very embarrassing for Cristiano Ronaldo.

His last title was the Club World Cup at the end of 2014, and neither he nor Real Madrid have won another honour since.

The league title is monopolized by Atletico Madrid, and the Copa del Rey title is monopolized by Barcelona.

Last season's Champions League didn't have the last laugh, but let Messi win the championship.

This season is the same, with both the domestic league and the Copa del Rey empty-handed, with only one Champions League title left to fight for.

This is a game that he and Gao Zheng must not lose.

"Remember, gentlemen, Real Madrid is a club with Champions League pedigree and we were born for the Champions League! It doesn't matter what our record is in the league and what they do, here, today, is our turf! Each one of you must be as fierce and aggressive as a lion guarding your own territory! Simeone's team is known for their fighting spirit, so you have to show them today, gentlemen can fight! ”

Zidane also rarely showed a hideous look in front of the players.

This scene is very similar to two years ago, when Real Madrid fell behind Atletico Madrid 0-1 in the Champions League final, Zidane rushed to the sidelines in a hurry, ran to Ancelotti and yelled at the field, and commanded the game on his behalf. At that time, Ancelotti looked at him in amazement, and it appeared in the news media all over the world - to be honest, Ancelotti was really scared by Zidane at the time.

At that time, there were also good people who gave Ancelotti the line: "In the end am I a coach, or are you a coach?!" ”

Unexpectedly, just two years later, he really led Real Madrid to stand on the field of the Champions League final.

This time, when he stood in the command seat, no one around him looked at him in surprise.
