Chapter 132: The Winner's Smile

Mourinho motioned for everyone to listen to him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Actually, I looked at the newspapers in the last two days and noticed that there is a word that appears very frequently." He raised the newspaper in his hand. "'Defend the Earth'. I love this gimmick, it's a gimmick, but there are some things it says right - it's really a battle to defend. We've been tired of Barcelona winning titles for more than three seasons and it's time to put an end to that once and for all. Although we stopped their quest for the title in Spain, they still have the quality in Europe. If we lose in this final, all the hard work we've put in the run has been in vain, you know that? ”

Mourinho asked.

The players didn't answer and Mourinho didn't need them to answer, he continued.

"So the real showdown is here. We've already given them two hard hooks before! He said as he did an uppercut. Now they are crumbling, but they can still hold on, if they are given time to breathe and wait for them to come to their senses...... Their strength is still there. ”

Don't look at Mourinho always looks down on Barcelona externally and is full of disdain for this team, but in fact he attaches great importance to this team.

'If we lose to them in this final and lift the European Cup, then they can get a breather. So next season, they will still be our strongest enemies, and they will be a big threat to us. But if we can beat them in the final and let them lose two Champions League finals in a row, it will be a very heavy blow for them. ”

Mourinho was looking at Chu Zhongtian when he said this. If Real Madrid can beat Barcelona, then Barcelona's two consecutive defeats are due to Chu Zhongtian, so he looked at him.

Jose Mourinho gave the players an analysis of the situation.

"It's a bit like a battle to defend, but it's not a battle to defend the planet, it's a battle to defend our honor! Losing to Barcelona leaves no honour to speak of, and the previous Copa del Rey and league titles have become a joke. Remember, in the world of competitive football, it's always the winner who is remembered. What is the final winner? The Champions League winner is! ”

At a time when Mourinho was giving his players what he did best to mobilise before the game, Pep Guardiola was also boosting the morale of the team.

'We suffered defeat at home but that should be the motivation and reason for us to win the Champions League. Since the day we lost to them at home, I know a lot of people are thinking about revenge. Now the opportunity has come, and the day we have been waiting for has finally arrived! ”

Pep Guardiola is not a manager who is very good at motivating his players with words, but he still has the most basic verbal skills.

'Real Madrid have done very well in the domestic league, that has to be admitted. But you have to let them know if we are better in Europe! ”

"A year ago, we came to the final and we lost to an unknown team. You can put it down to our underestimation of the enemy. A year later, against Real Madrid, will anyone still be underestimated? 'Pep Guardiola looked at his players.

"If we lose this game, we will have no excuses, everyone will say that Barcelona is not good, Barcelona is declining...... Do you want that? So, this game, must be won! ”

※※※ In the VIP box, the bigwigs, sponsors, and celebrities from all walks of life have already sat down, and there is not much time before the game starts.

Emily appeared in the box with her mother and Chu Zhongtian's parents, this was the first time the four of them watched the game together, and it was also the first time that Emily's mother, Ms. Miranda, came to the scene to watch Chu Zhongtian play.

Chu Zhongtian has reached the Champions League final twice in a row, and he hopes to defend the championship personally.

At the same time, in the seats of the ordinary stands, Hoffenheim fans from Hoffenheim and Munich also took their seats in their reserved seats, banners and other things were tied, slogans and portraits were erected, and they waited for the game to begin.

In the time leading up to the game, the Allianz Arena was a little quieter. Many people even couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate.

The atmosphere of imminent war has descended on every corner of this stadium.

The players from both sides finished their pre-fight mobilizations, walked out of the dressing room, and then assembled in the passage in front of the exit, waiting for the referees to take them out.

Most of the time, the teams of the two participating parties will take advantage of this time to say hello to each other or something, and if there are friends in the team who are already familiar with each other, they will directly cross the line to chat and chat, and no matter how bad they are, they will pat each other on the shoulder and touch their heads or something.

However, none of the above happened in the players' tunnel at the Allianz Arena prior to this match.

The players of Real Madrid and the players of Barcelona both treated each other as air and turned a complete blind eye.

Chu Zhongtian stood in the middle of the team and thought of what he had heard at Wimbledon. Wimbledon were a small team that had just been promoted to League One at the time, and they met a strong Liverpool in the FA Cup final. Jones suddenly attacked Liverpool in the tunnel under the leadership of Jones, who was the first to point at the noses of the Liverpool players and rant and curse. Liverpool's stars were completely confused - they were all seasoned players, they had played all the Champions League finals, they had never seen any big scenes, but they still felt inexplicable about the scene in front of them. I've never heard of someone suddenly verbally attacking an opponent before a match starts.

Pooh. Jones yelled viciously at the Liverpool players: "I'm going to cut your necks!" I'm going to kick your legs off! You'd better fucking be careful with me! ”

Under his leadership, Wise and other Wimbledon players also roared at the Liverpool players, and some raised their fists and made gestures to make moves.

The Liverpool players were completely stunned, they didn't react. This panic naturally affected their performance in the game. And Pooh. Jones did do what he said, and in the first three minutes of the game, he shoveled Liverpool's goalscorer McMahon on a stretcher, directly disrupting Liverpool's pre-match deployment. In the end, Wimbledon, who was weak, defeated Liverpool 1-0 in the final, creating the biggest miracle in the history of the FA Cup final.

Of course, today's Real Madrid is not a weak Wimbledon, as a century-old giant, it is naturally impossible to use that kind of "indiscriminate" means to interfere with the opponent and win the championship. Otherwise, if this matter spreads, even if Real Madrid wins the championship, it will not be recognized by everyone.

That's the limit of identity.

Chu Zhongtian withdrew his gaze on the Barcelona players, looked ahead, and waited to play.

※※※ Messi felt a burst of relief. He suddenly felt nervous for no reason, as if someone was staring at him, which made him uncomfortable.

He didn't look back, he just tried to make himself look like nothing was happening.

Now the pressure is gone, but it doesn't make Messi feel better, because the discovery makes him unhappy with himself - he is nervous because he is stared at...... How could such a feeling be possible in him?

He Messi, who has already won the World Footballer at a young age, was considered to be the successor of Maradona when he debuted, but now he does not mention his predecessors, and now everyone thinks that Messi can create a different path from Maradona, and he is a strong candidate for a new generation of football kings. He will not be the second of whom, he will be the first.

In terms of ball skills and character, he surpassed his sworn rival Real Madrid's Cristiano. Ronaldo, his football path should continue to be so proud.

Unexpectedly, last summer, he and his team suffered the heaviest blow - facing Hoffenheim, who was several times weaker than them in the Champions League final, this title was supposed to be in the bag, but a Chinese named "Chu Zhongtian" was mixed up.

When Chu Zhongtian restrained him and Xavi on the court, he already felt incredible, especially when he met a player for the first time, no matter how he broke through, he couldn't get by.

Later, when I saw Chu Zhongtian incarnated as a substitute goalkeeper, not only keeping Barcelona clean in extra time, but also completely keeping them clean sheet in the penalty shootout, I felt that this kid was not an earthling at all - does such a player really exist on this planet? Freezing Messi in the game, and keeping a clean sheet in the game for the goalkeeper who is known for attacking all of Barcelona's threatening shots, especially in the final stages of extra time, was completely beyond the scope of what the earthlings could do...... Messi's career has been on the rise since he hit the trail. Even if he is disappointed in the national team, he will never be disappointed at the club, one honor after another, one championship after another.

But the upward momentum was met with strong resistance last summer, and the two sides have been at a stalemate. It's the Champions League final this season.

Messi knows that if he wants to break this resistance and keep his career on the rise, he will have to beat Real Madrid in today's game to win the Champions League. Barcelona and him have suffered heavy defeats this season, losing all their games at home, failing to reach the Copa del Rey final and being beaten home and away by rivals Real Madrid in the league.

This kind of performance has made a lot of bad voices in the media, everyone knows that Barcelona's dignity and future are in this game, winning Real Madrid, there is a sea and sky in front of them, no one will question them, they can still maintain a strong psychology against Real Madrid in La Liga, and in Europe it has also proved that even such a strong Real Madrid cannot beat them, they are still the king of Europe.

So the media hyped up the gimmick of "Earth Defense War", which made Messi feel very unhappy. This completely treats Barcelona as an alien invader. With the success of Barcelona in recent years, there have been many voices in the media to demonize them. But in fact, this game is the real defense for Barcelona, they have to defend their glory and dignity, and they have to defend their future.

Real Madrid wants a revival? Let's all retire when we're all gone!

Inspired by fear, Messi thought that this game could not be lost no matter what, no matter what method was used, he must win!

In fact, Messi has been used to smooth sailing in recent years, and he has a shortcoming that has been criticized many times by the media, that is, Messi, as the core of the team, is a bit soft and not tough enough.

Now Messi is tough, because he has an opponent who has to be tough and play to his full strength.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian didn't know what kind of thoughts Messi had in his heart, he only knew that he was about to play.

The referees walked out of the dedicated lounge and crossed the path left between the two teams to the front.

Seeing the referees play, everyone consciously returned to the queue and lined up to play.

Then the referee looked at his watch, waved to the two captains, and the players from both sides were taken out of the field.

The referee who walked out of the tunnel held the ball for the final - the football had been placed on a pedestal like a trophy.

When the referee came out of the audience, the first wave of cheers rang out.

The captains of both sides walked out.

Puyol and Casillas stood behind the referee on the left and right flanks and followed the referees on the pitch.

The on-site radio also began to introduce the players on both sides, and every time he read a name, the player's information appeared on the big screen on the scene, including photo, name, number, height, weight, position and date of birth, and nationality.

Two large screens, one for Real Madrid players and the other for Barcelona players.

Chu Zhongtian stood at the end of the team, with Kaka and C. Ronaldo, and Messi was slightly ahead of him.

When these four people came out, the cheers at the scene were the loudest.

Messi, Kaka and C. Ronaldo are all long-established superstars, and Chu Zhongtian's cheers can be compared to them, which is obviously the reason for last year's Champions League final.

When Cornelia, Abel and the others heard Chu Zhongtian's name shouted on the live broadcast, they stood up and cheered with open arms.

There were also people waving the Hoffenheim flag painted with Chu Zhongtian's head.

Emily and the others in the VIP box also stood up and applauded Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian walked into the Allianz Arena again amid the cheers in the sky, and he knew that his friends in Germany must be watching him from a certain stand in the stadium, so he didn't look up to look for it.

Stepping into the Champions League final twice in a row is just the beginning for him, and he will win the Champions League twice in a row.

Defending the Champions League, such a thing has not been done by any team since the Champions League was restructured, but players can defend their titles individually through transfers. There was a case before Chu Zhongtian - Eto'o. The African Cheetah won the Champions League for Barcelona in the 08-09 season, and then he moved to Inter Milan, where he won the Champions League in the 09-10 season under the leadership of Jose Mourinho, becoming the first player to defend the Champions League as a player after the Champions League was restructured.

Although there was a Piqué before him, when Manchester United won the Champions League in the 067-08 season, Piqui only made one appearance in the Champions League group stage, and even less in the final. Even if he won the Champions League with Barcelona as a first-choice centre-back in his second season, this "defending title" is too far-fetched.

If Chu Zhongtian can successfully defend his title, he will be the second person to defend the Champions League as a player.

※※※ Players from both sides walked to the pitch, lined up for reporters to take pictures, and then drew Real Madrid, signed by the away team, to go over and shake hands with the players of the "home team" Barcelona.

The handshake between the two sides is very simple, that is, the hands touch and they are taken away. Unlike other teams, they all have to pat each other on the shoulder, on the face, and say something.

This season's fierce competition has made these basic politeness and gentleness gone.

The Real Madrid player and the Barcelona player touched their hands and parted, then hurriedly walked away. When C. Ronaldo shook hands with Messi, his frowning brow made Chu Zhongtian believe that if Ronaldo had a handkerchief in his hand, he would definitely take it out and wipe his hands carefully - the Portuguese have such a deep dislike for Messi.

It is not the first time that Chu Zhongtian has shaken hands with Barcelona players in the Champions League final. He really wanted to say to them, "What a coincidence, you're here too?" ”

Reminiscent of the first such scene, when the Hoffenheim players shook hands with them, there were many Barcelona players with unconcealed pride and disdain on their faces, in their arrogant eyes, it seemed that Hoffenheim was already a corpse, and the Champions League title was in their pocket.

Now their expressions are no longer proud and disdainful, and they can even be said to be a little nervous...... Their expressions were serious, too serious, which showed that they were nervous inside. Of course, Barcelona themselves will not admit this, and perhaps they themselves will not realize it - when facing Real Madrid, their team that should have a psychological advantage will be nervous!

When Chu Zhongtian shook hands with these Barcelona players, a smile appeared on his face.

It's not a friendly smile, it's the smile that comes naturally from the heart of a victor when he sees his defeated man.

Maybe there are still some of his teammates at Real Madrid who are afraid of this team, but he has not been afraid of Barcelona since Chu Zhongtian joined Real Madrid.

The whole world has a reason to be afraid of this team, and he can't have it. Because he hasn't lost a single game against Barcelona so far!
