Chapter 502: The Double Champion Sets Out
And Kyle heard this sentence conveyed by reporters at the post-game press conference and responded with a sentence.
"I'm very grateful to have been an opponent with him, only with a coach of this level can I continue to improve myself, by the way, I also want to wish him good luck in the Premier League, I hope we don't become opponents again in the future, it's very difficult to win him once."
Reporters also understand that the so-called want to win once here is definitely not as simple as winning a game, after all, when it comes to games, Kyle has won Guardiola many times this season.
"When you took over the team, did you think you could become a double?"
"Of course I didn't think about it, because the team wasn't in very good shape at that time, and I just thought it would be nice not to be too miserable."
"The season has come to this point, and you only have one last game left, do you have any new goals?"
Kyle smiled, finally revealing a bit of arrogance that no one had seen before.
"If I thought it would be satisfying to be relegated this season, now that I've won the double, I don't mind trying for a treble."
Although the reporters knew, they didn't expect Kyle to be so direct.
"After Real Madrid changed their manager this season, Zidane can be said to have made a big difference to this team. Whether it is relying on his reputation at the club or the support of the team, in short, Real Madrid are on the right track after a period of chaos at the beginning of the season, and play to their original strength. To be able to reach the final of the Champions League is proof of that. ”
Kyle's words sounded like he was complimenting Zidane, but some people felt that he was boasting, because the situation between the two was basically the same. They are all meritorious players of the team, they are all called upon at critical moments, and they are all first-team managers, and perhaps the only difference is that when they were players, their fame was very different.
Zinedine Zidane was the world footballer of the year, recognized as a superstar at the time. And Kyle, at most, can only be regarded as a defensive core, and there are not many opportunities to perform in the national team, maybe only Dortmund will be regarded as a top player by fans, right?
But none of that matters, heroes don't ask where they come from, and all in all, these two halfway managers from very different backgrounds have led their teams to the Champions League final, and judging from the results of this season alone, Dortmund are even better.
They have already won the league and cup double at home, while Real Madrid is left with only one Champions League to fight for.
Borussia Dortmund won the title in Bremen and celebrated on the occasion of their opponents, without delaying their return to their home stadium.
Watzke and Zorke, who were definitely a surprise for them, even gave the team a warm welcome.
When they watched Kyle and captain Lin Yi walk off the plane together with the salad plate of the Bundesliga champion and the German Cup championship trophy, the two senior executives were a little hot-eyed, how many years have passed, and they have not won these two trophies.
Although some people thought that this would be the result after beating Bayern Munich in the league at the Allianz Arena, when this fantasy really came true, whether it was the fans, the senior management, or even the players themselves, there was still a feeling of dream.
After hugging Kyle, Watzke had a very heated conversation.
Zolke walked up to Lin Yi, shook his hand and said, "When I signed you back then, I knew that one day you would make such a contribution to the team." Also, I really appreciate you for not leaving the team. ”
Lin Yi laughed, "Michelle, it's a little too early for you to say this, and when we win the Triple Crown, you may have nothing to praise us." ”
Dortmund have plenty of time to prepare before the Champions League final, as they still have almost half a month to go.
Kyle didn't rush to increase the team's workouts, and despite bringing the players together on the grounds of a closed training camp, he kept the players relaxed.
During this period, apart from having each player go home twice, the players spent all of their time at the training base.
In the two days since he went home, Lin Yi felt that Eva seemed to be a little haggard, maybe to follow the team to watch the game, and he was tired, right? Lin Yi, who felt sorry for her and didn't have much energy himself, stayed with Eva at home for two days, and personally cooked a few delicious meals for her.
Probably because she hadn't eaten it for a long time, Eva was full of praise for the vinegared cabbage and sour soup fish made by Lin Yi.
"When you go back to the training camp, I'm going to Madrid, and then I can stay at my dad's house, and then we can watch your final together."
"Haha, I don't know what he, as a Real Madrid employee, will think of my team when I win against him."
"I believe in you, and I will win." Eva shook Lin Yi's hand.
"If it weren't for the outside world's analysis, we don't know how many reasons we would lose, I would have believed it myself."
Lin Yi said this with a smile, but there was also a lot of sarcasm in his words.
Indeed, when Dortmund was about to face Real Madrid, those people who lost for the first time after Kyle took over suddenly jumped out and wrote tons of analyses showing that Dortmund would definitely lose to Real Madrid.
Whether it is strength or environment, in short, the time and place are favorable, they have all written it in, not only that, but there are many metaphysical things that have been considered by them.
Lin Yi only knew about these things, because he felt that there was no need to look at them.
If you can analyze the championship just by analyzing it, then what do you need the players for?
Maybe they just took out the garbage articles of the time and replaced "Barcelona" with "Real Madrid".
After a short period of warmth, Lin Yi returned to the training base again, although there was not so much training in the training base.
In fact, the main purpose of Kyle and them gathering together is not to let them improve any more, but just to hope that they will not be disturbed too much at this stage of the final stage, so as to affect their state.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, are in full swing of preparations, with Zidane using a good rest to inspire Cristiano Ronaldo, who is now desperate to play Borussia Dortmund and win a title while dominating the Champions League scorer charts.
Three days before Dort's departure to Madrid, Jurgen Klopp was once again at the team's training base.
He was about to move to Liverpool, and before leaving, he decided to take another look at this team that meant a lot to him.
By the way, cheer for your former players.
Looking at Kyle, who is now the team's vice-captain and has taken over the team, Klopp smiled a little kindly.
In fact, everything is similar to when I left, except that my identity in this team has changed from a participant to a spectator, or cheering. But wouldn't that be nice? There is also a lot to enjoy.
Kyle is actually very grateful for Klopp's recommendation to him, in fact, before he took over the team, he had a long talk with Klopp, at that time he felt that he might not be able to do very well, but Klopp told him, as long as you are brave and have a firm goal, with your ability, I don't think there will be any problems.
So Kyle has been doing what the coach has assigned to him, and so far, he has done a pretty good job.
"Okay, I won't talk too much with you, I hope you have good luck and win what you want. When you go to England in the future, remember to look for me. ”
Jurgen Klopp finally waved at his former players and left.
Kyle looked at Klopp's tall and generous back gratefully, hoping that he could make up for that regret for him.
Three days later, amid taunts and boos, Dortmund landed at Madrid airport.
Lin Yi didn't wear headphones because he didn't have this habit in the first place.
So the scolding and boos at the scene reached his ears well.
He actually understands Spanish, so sometimes it doesn't necessarily mean that he knows too many languages, because you can understand when someone scolds you wherever you go.
Royce looked at Lin Yi's expression and pointed to his big earphones at Lin Yi, but Lin Yi just waved his hand.
After rejecting his teammates' kindness, Lin glanced around the local fans in Madrid who were waiting to put pressure on them.
With a slight sneer, he waved his hand at them.
Lin Yi's provocative behavior escalated the boos at the scene, and they not only yelled and cursed Lin Yi, but also cursed him.
"That's the atmosphere of a Champions League final. But it's the coolest thing to beat your opponent in such an atmosphere. ”
Kyle walks in the middle of the line, wearing a very casual suit.
I remember when I came here a few years ago to play the semi-finals of the Champions League, I was still a player. At that time, Robert staged a classic big four at the Bernabeu, which amazed the whole world. It is also the status of his world-class striker.
When I think about that time, I really miss it, and it would be nice if I could play another game like that.
Walking and walking, Lin Yi also thought of the stalk of Lewandowski's big four, and while taking out his mobile phone to take a photo, he also stretched out four fingers.
The Madrid fans, who were already tired of scolding, immediately regrouped and began another round of sonic attacks.
Looking at these fanatical and radical fans, Lin Yi was not worried about what they would do at the hotel where the team was staying.
Modern football has developed to this point, and there are very few teams that play such a game, let alone Real Madrid fans who claim to be aristocrats?
As the capital of Spain, Madrid has an unusually strong football atmosphere, and everywhere you go, you can see the publicity about this Champions League final.
After arriving at the hotel, the players did not rest too much and went to the Bernabeu for a stamping session.
In fact, there is nothing to worry about in the state of the turf at the Bernabeu.
After all, Mourinho's Real Madrid has become a thing of the past, and now Real Madrid is under Zidane, and its reliance on defensive counterattacks is not as serious as it was back then.
Coupled with the strength of the midfield now, Real Madrid is gradually beginning to rely on the control of passing and cutting in the midfield.
Lin Yi felt it on the field, and then walked to a position far away from the goal.
Now I seem to have a longer range than before, and if I have the opportunity in this game, I might be able to try a few long-range shots.
The game was played two days later, and after arriving in Madrid, Kyle still maintained his "work and rest" mentality, ready to give his players a full day's rest.
While they were resting, a group of guests suddenly arrived in the hotel.
When he saw them, Lin Yi was also a little surprised, first surprised why they were here when they were already on vacation, and secondly surprised how these people got together.
The Barcelona players, along with Thiago and Xavi Alonso, the Spanish players who play for Bayern Munich, actually came to the hotel where Dortmund was staying.
As soon as Neymar, who was wearing a hat on the back, came in, he slapped Lin Yi on the shoulder fiercely.
"You beat us, but don't lose to those guys in Madrid! You know what!? ”
Neymar is joined by Suarez and Messi, as well as Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets.
After the previous few encounters, everyone is quite familiar.
Although the bayonets on the field are red, most of them will not carry the grievances in the game to the field.
Suarez, who doesn't talk much, doesn't know what to say with Bartra, and when the two of them were in Barcelona before, the relationship was obviously good.
Messi, on the other hand, is not at all as eye-catching as on the pitch, he just stands there and smiles at everyone talking and laughing.
Watching Lin Yi finish fighting with Neymar here, Messi walked to the No. 10 who shattered his dream of winning the six championships a few months ago.
"Come on. If you win, you'll be the Triple Crown. ”
"How can the triple crown be as cool as the six crowns, you have won it twice, how do you feel? Tell me about it. ”
"Anyway, when I didn't get it for the third time, I felt very unhappy." Messi smiled at Lin Yi, "You have to seize the opportunity this year, we will be terrible next year." ”
"Next year, we will only be more terrible." Lin Yi smiled confidently.
"I won't say anything about last year. You're going to have to give something this year. ”
After the two chatted for a while, before leaving, Messi said this to Lin Yi again.
"In fact, against Real Madrid, Mark is also very experienced. However, some games are more dependent on offensive players. ”
Messi patted Lin Yi, who was much taller than him, on the shoulder.
"We'll be there to cheer you on, and of course, if you lose, we'll laugh at you for the whole year."
"Rest assured. I won't give you that chance. Besides, we can laugh at you and get rid of you, right? Lin replied to Neymar with a wicked smile.
