Chapter 533: Before the Champions League Final
Originally, Courtois and Eden Hazard might have hoped that Real Madrid would be the next stop, the former has the need to return to La Liga and reunite with their families, and the latter is a childhood dream, but the current achievements of Chelsea will surely make them choose to stay.
Thibaut Courtois has publicly stated that he loves Chelsea very much, and if he leaves, he will definitely return to La Liga rather than choose to play for Chelsea's opponents in the Premier League.
Then there's Chelsea's back-up goalkeeper Willy Caballero, who will be Argentina's starting goalkeeper for the World Cup this summer, and if they perform well, the team won't need to rush too much to include a goalkeeper, after all, keeping Courtois is the best.
In addition to the red card and injury, the Belgian goalkeeper is still crucial enough in the rest of the game, even if his teammates' various return passes are suspected of testing the goalkeeper, but Courtois can get it accurately.
In addition, playing big can create direct opportunities up front, so Courtois is indeed an indispensable part of Chelsea.
The next day, Courtois said in an interview with the media: "Thank you for your interest in my future and stay recently, but I haven't thought about it so much now, and the future belongs to the future."
Now my focus and the rest of the team and the coaching staff are on the next game, which is more important than my stay.
So before the Champions League final, I don't give any interviews that have nothing to do with the Champions League final, and I don't accept any offer negotiations!
We'll wait until the final to think about these issues, and no matter what the result is, I think it's not a big deal in front of the Champions League winners! ”'
…………
When Courtois's farce ended, the day of the Champions League final was quietly approaching, and Real Madrid took the lead in flying to Ukraine after training in Spain for nearly a week.
The 2017–18 UEFA Champions League is the 63rd top-flight club competition organised by the UEFA Union of European Football Associations and the 26th since the competition was renamed the UEFA Champions League.
The Champions League final is scheduled to be held at the Olympic National Stadium in Dynamo, Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
The Champions League final is about to kick off in Kiev, Real Madrid will face Chelsea, and if Real Madrid win this match, it will be their third Champions League title.
According to Marca, Real Madrid player Kroos insists that it will not be easy for Real Madrid to win the title.
Kroos has previously helped the team and won the Champions League three times.
Once in 2012-13 with Bayern Munich, and twice in 2015-16 and 2016-17 with Real Madrid.
In an interview, he recounted how he felt about participating in such a big event.
'We've never won three in a row before and I don't know if it's going to happen again in the Champions League.
We're looking for a treble and we're focusing more on Chelsea at the moment and we'll be motivated when we go to the final at the weekend. ”
When Kroos was asked about Real Madrid's rivals Chelsea, he said he admired Chelsea.
'Even though we have better possession of the ball, they will definitely put 100 per cent into the game or put more energy into playing against us.
I'm expecting an attacking Chelsea who can attack very quickly but we're going to stop them.
They're different from us, maybe because there's very little contact between us, but they're competitive and aggressive at the same time, and they're very strong in midfield and up front.
This will be an opportunity for Chelsea as it is likely to be their second Champions League title and they will be able to reach the final, so they will be going all out.
Actually, Chelsea's title favourites don't mean anything, just like we were against Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich before. ”
The media also spoke out one after another: "Real Madrid is expected to write a new chapter this year after making history by defending the Champions League last year."
The king of the Champions League, Ronaldo, broke all kinds of records, and last year's knockout round was like a god, with 10 goals in 5 games.
Chelsea have also undergone a complete transformation this season, unbeaten in all competitions, with the front trident netting and their key player Jones in astonishing form, scoring 109 goals in the league, 13 in the knockout stages of the Champions League and nine in the main game.
Of course, Chelsea's defense is slightly lacking compared to Real Madrid, and they often concede goals due to mistakes, so who can have the last laugh? ”
'From the current record analysis of the two sides, Chelsea have a better chance of winning the title.
Real Madrid estimates that it will not be easy to defend against Chelsea's trident, of course, Real Madrid's trident Chelsea want to defend is also unlikely, but in midfield Chelsea is a little stronger, but in the defensive position Real Madrid is a little stronger.
However, Marcelo will find it difficult to defend against Eden Hazard, and Jones is a greater threat to them, and Real Madrid do not have a reliable midfielder who can help defend on the left side, and the defense on the right side is okay.
Real Madrid can only rely on counter-attacks to suppress Chelsea, because of the positional battle, Chelsea is not afraid of a team without a central striker.
Without a centre-forward, Real Madrid have to rely on the midfield to play the ball, Chelsea have a good midfield strangulation, but both players have a week's rest and the players are fit enough to believe we will see a good game. ”
…………
While everyone was speculating about the outcome of the game, the Chelsea players began to fly to the Ukrainian capital.
In the Champions League final, UEFA usually allows both teams to wear home shirts to face each other as much as possible, and before the game, the two sides also shouted through the media, and this time the two sides completely saw the real thing.
At the pre-match press conference, both sides also announced their starting eleven lists!
There have not been much changes for Chelsea, with Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in goal, Andreas Christensen this season in centre-back, captain Cahill at left and vice-captain Cesar Azpilicueta on his right.
In midfield, N'Golo Kante partnered with Cesc Fabregas, on the right is Chelsea's attacking midfielder Willian, on the left is Chelsea's main left wing-back this season, Alonso, on the left winger is the thunderous Jones, on the right winger is Belgium's striker Eden Hazard, and the sudden front is naturally Costa who has scored a lot of goals recently.
Chelsea's lineup did not bring many surprises to everyone, after all, Chelsea's main squad has no injuries, and in the case of no injuries and no red cards at the core, there is basically no doubt about the starter.
There is a slight suspense about whether the right wing-back will be Willian or Moses, for example, if it is Willian in this game, Chelsea should be more attacking, although Willian is a midfielder.
However, he has a strong attacking ability from behind, and in all competitions this season, Willian has relied on his ability to attack from behind, scoring a total of eight goals in a limited appearance.
Where there is no possibility of change for Chelsea is up front, with José Kodic certainly playing Jones as a winger, Colsta, Giroud still on the bench and, of course, Eden Hazard, who has been playing as a right winger this season.
When Real Madrid announced the starting lineup, everyone was looking forward to whether Bale could be in the starting lineup, in the previously announced eighteen-man squad.
Bale has a name, which means that his injury should not be very serious, and maybe there is a chance to come off the bench or even start.
