Chapter 512: It's already a miracle that they can enter the finals!
Zhang Zhongyi's trip to Athens cannot be said to be full of ups and downs, nor can it be said that it was not smooth at all.
They booked a pick-up.
Athens International Airport is too busy, there are too many passengers, many of them are 'grouped' to watch the game, and there are many domestic sightseeing groups, and it takes a long time to find a pick-up at the airport, but I was told that because the waiting time is too long, the fee will be charged more.
Zhang Zhongyi didn't care about spending more money, but it was different from the plan, and he always felt very unhappy.
They booked the hotel.
300 euros a night room, the price is not low, wait until you know that the hotel location is very remote, far from the center of Athens, and the Olympic Stadium is also far away, they have to take a taxi for half an hour to watch the game, considering that on the day of the game, the stadium will definitely be very congested, and it will take longer.
They also booked their tickets.
The matter of tickets is even more annoying, saying that it is a thousand euros a piece, but when I encounter a local scalper, the price has tripled.
Zhang Zhongyi is also a company owner, with a net worth of tens of millions of yuan, but the cost of three tickets is 6,000 euros more, which is still a bit too much, just watching a ball game, it costs nearly 70,000 yuan more, and it feels uncomfortable to think about it.
That's why Zhang Zhongyi called Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang thought that his father would come by himself, he overestimated the ability of the 'cheap stepmother', the 'cheap stepmother' went abroad to play once, or went to Southeast Asian countries, the first time in her life to Europe, she was not familiar with the place, she took Zhang Chen and was also very uneasy, so she could only run with her husband.
Zhang Zhongyi and the three took a taxi to find the hotel where Millwall was staying.
When he was on the road, Zhang Zhongyi chatted with the driver.
Athens local tourism people, including drivers, hotel service staff, etc., can speak some English, but most of the English is not very standard, and can only communicate simply.
Through a simple exchange, the driver knew that Zhang Zhongyi was going to the hotel where Millwall was staying, and seeing that they were Chinese, he asked, "Do you know Zhang Yang?" It's the Millwall manager! β
Zhang Zhongyi understood this, and immediately said with a smile on his face, "That's my son!" He is proud of what his son has accomplished.
This sentence also caused trouble.
After arriving at the place, the driver had to take a group photo with Zhang Zhongyi, and after getting out of the car to take a group photo, the driver also shouted to the people next to him, "Look! This is Zhang Yang's father! β
Now it's a big deal.
Millwall's hotel has too many fans nearby, and many players have the mentality of trying their luck, in case any player comes out, they can ask for an autograph and group photo, even if the luck is not good, their purpose is to cheer for Millwall.
Nearby fans heard the driver's shout and immediately gathered around.
Zhang Zhongyi's three people were surrounded in the middle.
The people who came around were very enthusiastic, including many England fans, and Zhang Zhongyi could have normal exchanges, and after the exchange, it was determined that Zhang Zhongyi was Zhang Yang's father, and they became very enthusiastic.
Zhang Zhongyi also seems to have become a star, and fans came over one by one to sign autographs and take photos.
At the beginning, Zhang Zhongyi felt very happy and met the requirements of many fans, but after a long time, Zhang Chen was clamoring to leave, and he found that something was wrong, because the number of fans around him did not decrease, but increased a lot.
The three of them couldn't get out.
If Zhang Zhongyi is himself, there will be nothing to do at all, communicate with the fans for a few words, a big man can squeeze out, but there are wives and children around him, and the two of them must not be squeezed out.
When dinner time was almost over, Zhang Zhongyi was still surrounded, and when he saw the police coming over, he shouted twice, "HELP!" HELPοΌ "With the help of the police, I was able to get out.
Zhang Zhongyi took his wife and children to the door of the hotel, and after being stopped by the security guard, they had a simple communication.
Zhang Yang told the security guard in front of the door.
When the security guard heard that Zhang Zhongyi said that he was Zhang Yang's father, he politely invited the three of them in, and took the initiative to take Zhang Zhongyi to find Zhang Yang.
When he really saw Zhang Yang, Zhang Zhongyi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately smiled bitterly, "It's too difficult to come here." β
"What's going on?"
As soon as Zhang Zhongyi told him what he had encountered, Zhang Yang immediately reminded, "You must pay attention, before and after the game, don't tell anyone that you are my father." β
"Why?" Zhang Zhongyi was a little puzzled, "Those fans are a little too enthusiastic, but they are still very friendly......"
"That's because you didn't run into unfriendly." "You should be meeting the fans who support us, but there are also a considerable number of supporters of Chelsea, that is, our opponents, before and after the game, they will not have a good face. β
"If we win and we win the game after the game, you don't know what to do, the angry fans don't know what to do!"
Zhang Yang's words were a bit serious, and his heart was indeed full of worry.
England is just a lot of football hooligans.
It can't be said that England fans are hooligans, but the quality of watching football is not much better, every time England encounters a big game, you can always hear about England fans fighting, and even a little commonplace.
If Chelsea lose the Champions League final, there will certainly be a lot of fans who will be very sad, and when they are sad, they will drink and like to do it when they are drunk.
At this time, they knew that Zhang Zhongyi was their father, and he was still standing in front of him, it was possible to do anything impulsively, it was unlikely that this kind of thing would happen, but it was always necessary to prevent it from happening!
What if?
If you really find out, it's too late to regret it.
Zhang Yang handed over the VIP box tickets to Zhang Zhongyi, took out Wilkinson's statement, explained it carefully, and then didn't have time to reunite or something, so he asked the security guard to help find a taxi.
It's time for him to give the players a tactical lesson.
ββββ
The day before the race was the most leisurely and the most intense.
When the Millwall team arrived at the hotel, they had a rest, dinner, tactical lessons, and then the players went back to rest, some of them idle enough to play video games.
The day was also intense.
The next day is the Champions League final, and the players who can play are feeling the pressure, the players who don't want to come off the bench, and some players are already thinking about whether to leave or stay to fight for big contracts.
In a team, there are all kinds of ideas.
The last final is very important, it is directly related to the ownership of the trophy, but the last game is the last game, and the end of the game means the arrival of the holiday, and the players are still looking forward to it.
All of the above is still a normal state of mind.
Zhang Yang felt that there was something wrong with his mentality, he didn't feel a little nervous, but felt very flat, as if he was going to face a small league.
Why not be nervous?
Zhang Yang thought deeply, and then found a reliable answer, "Maybe it's because the opponent is Chelsea!" β
Chelsea, old rivals!
In the past two seasons, Millwall and Chelsea, respectively, met in the league, FA Cup and League Cup, they are long-term rivals, competing for the league title, competing for the cup title, and now competing for the Champions League, but the venue has been changed to Greece, the meaning of the game is heavier, in fact, if you think about it, it is not a big deal.
When the tactics are arranged, it depends on the players' performance.
This reason persuaded Zhang Yang, and then his mind began to deviate, thinking of the arrival of his father, cheap stepmother and Zhang Chen, a warm current suddenly surged in his heart.
Zhang Yang then thought, "No one else came!" β
When communicating with Wilkinson, Zhang Yang realized this, and when facing the Champions League final, no one came to him to ask for tickets, and he didn't think about it.
After living in Europe for so many years, he still has a few friends, such as Andy, who is also his agent, and it is no wonder that Andy can't come, he is still busy with securities investment in the United States.
What else?
Denise counted one, and the relationship between the two seemed to suddenly become friends.
Catherine.
That violent woman!
Zhang Yang didn't know how to describe his relationship with Catherine, or ...... Ex-girlfriend? It's not right, the two have never been boyfriend and girlfriend, but they did have a relationship, friend, there is still affection between them.
Ivanka couldn't come either.
Maybe Ivanka will want to come, right? But she was still recuperating and couldn't fly to Greece.
Own daughter?
Whenever he thinks of his daughter who is far away in the United States, Zhang Yang feels a little heartbroken, and he can't help but take his daughter to him quickly, and get her mother in advance--
Or Ivanka!
Zhang Yang's mind was a little messy, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't understand why he was thinking about such nonsense the day before an important game.
"Now it's time to focus on the game!"
Zhang Yang forced himself to return to the topic, and his thoughts continued to deviate frequently, and finally he decided to look at Weibo and use the information that exploded on the Internet to divert his attention.
Ruan Hailong did a good job.
Although he also served as part of the securities investment work, Ruan Hailong still did a good job in the main business, Weibo continued to update, and there were five messages in the past two days, all of which were related to the Champions League final.
Some of them express their fighting spirit and anticipation, some express their feelings, and the most recent one is about their love for Athens, and they are accompanied by two photos of the scenery that 'seem' to be taken temporarily.
In fact, Zhang Yang didn't leave the hotel at all.
Zhang Yang shook his head and smiled, and checked the fan messages at the bottom, many fans left messages, hoping that Millwall could beat Chelsea and win the Champions League, and some messages were in support of Chelsea.
This is normal.
There are many 'villain brushes', all of whom like to go to each other's Weibo to sabotage, scold a few words in the past, write opposing remarks, and maybe get a lot of replies.
From this point of view, the content of the 'villain brush' is not necessarily the true thoughts of the heart, they may just want to sensationalize, get a large number of replies to the content, and satisfy a desire to be noticed.
That's all.
Zhang Yang looked at all kinds of voices of support and opposition, and his heart also re-surged with anticipation for tomorrow's finals.
He wants to prove himself.
I hope that Millwall, who I brought with my own hands, can truly stand at the pinnacle of Europe!
Nothing else is a big deal in comparison.
The attraction of football is always emotional, and Zhang Yang is also emotional, and it is rare to post a pre-game Weibo --
"#欧ε ε³θ΅#
I've read a lot of reports interspersed with analyses but I don't think there's any reason why we should lose to Chelsea.
So, the trophy must belong to us.
As for Chelsea, and Mr. Mourinho...... It's a miracle that they made it to the final! / smile / sincere / handsome"
