Chapter 128: Germany, the final venue
readx;
When the draw was made for the quarterfinals, Chu Zhongtian began to look forward to reaching the finals. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ InfoBecause he has many friends in Germany, and the Allianz Arena in Munich has left him with many fond memories, and his Hoffenheim career is almost closely linked to this stadium.
Chu Zhongtian knew that he would meet many old friends at the Allianz Stadium, but he didn't expect to see them at the airport, so he was a little surprised.
Those fans were also very excited to see Chu Zhongtian appear, they waved posters in their hands, and shouted Chu Zhongtian's name loudly to welcome him back to Germany.
In the face of such enthusiastic fans, how could Chu Zhongtian turn a blind eye and walk over like this? So he approached manager Jose Mourinho and asked him for leave to sign autographs for these fans.
Mourinho looked in the direction he was pointing at the blue fans and nodded his head away.
Chu Zhongtian said goodbye to the team and walked in front of this group of Hoffenheim fans.
These fans seemed very excited, and one of them said to Chu Zhongtian in a slightly trembling voice: "Huan, welcome back to Germany, Chu!" β
Chu Zhongtian didn't see an old acquaintance like Aunt Cornelia among these people, he thought that this should be Hoffenheim's fan organization in Munich - Hoffenheim had just been promoted to the Bundesliga and had a fan organization in Munich, and it has grown and grown in recent years, and the number has surged.
"Thank you for welcoming us at the airport!" Chu Zhongtian greeted them in German.
Some fans presented Hoffenheim jerseys and posters ready for him to autograph.
The fat man who greeted Chu Zhongtian first didn't do this, but just talked to him: "Come on for the final, Chu!" β
Chu Zhongtian was giving people autographs, and looked up at the fat fan who was talking, he didn't know this person, but he still smiled and nodded politely to express his gratitude.
"You can beat Barcelona! Right? "The fat man seems to be very fond of this topic." You were able to beat Barcelona when you were Hoffenheim, and now that you're playing with the stronger Real Madrid, it shouldn't be a problem to beat Barcelona, right? β
Chu Zhongtian handed back the signed jersey to the fans, and then said to the fat man: "This is not good, football matches cannot predict the score." But...... I'll try to win. β
The fat man waved his fist: "You must be able to do it!" I have faith in you, there is only one person in the world who can beat Barcelona! β
Chu Zhongtian wondered where this fan's confidence in him came from to be able to say such affirmative words. But I was grateful for his confidence.
Of course, he didn't know that the fat man had been with Hoffenheim and his story.
That's just one of thousands of stories from ordinary fans, and such stories happen every day.
After Chu Zhongtian signed these enthusiastic fans who had come to welcome him, he turned around and caught up with the team.
Fritz. Abel looked at Chu Zhongtian's back, he didn't like Hoffenheim because Chu Zhongtian was genius, but he changed because of Chu Zhongtian. Now that Chu Zhongtian has gone to Real Madrid, he has not become a fan of Real Madrid because of this, he is still a fan of Hoffenheim. Although Hoffenheim is no longer as brave as he once was, he is glad that he is surrounded by more like-minded companions.
All thanks to Chu Zhongtian.
What he said just now was not to win favor, he really believed that Chu Zhongtian had a way to deal with Barcelona and a way to lead Real Madrid to defeat a sworn enemy and win the championship.
Come on, Chu!
β»β»β»ββ¦β¦ At 10:45 a.m. this morning, a flight from Madrid, the capital of Spain, landed at Munich International Airport, and Real Madrid, one of the teams participating in this Champions League final, arrived in Munich, three hours ahead of their opponents......
The midday sports news was playing on the TV, and the news was about Real Madrid's arrival in Munich.
As the venue for this year's Champions League final, the German media also paid close attention to this final, although there were no teams from Germany among the teams participating in the Champions League final...... But at least the teams that will be in the Champions League final include two internationals from Germany and one player who has made a name for himself in Germany.
So this game still deserves the attention of the German media.
Mesut Ozil and Khedira are German internationals who play for Real Madrid, while Chu Zhongtian is considered to be a superstar produced by the Bundesliga.
Rangnick looked away from the TV and returned to the person across from him.
"I'm sorry, Horst, what did you just say?"
Opposite sat Horst. Somewhat reluctantly, Helt repeated what he had just said: "I mean, Schalke 04 can guarantee you power and status in the team, you can get almost the same freedom as you did at Hoffenheim, and you can build the team according to your ideas...... The doors of Schalke 04 are always open for you as long as you want, Ralph. β
Rangnick smiled.
Chu Zhongtian was being introduced on the TV opposite him: "...... Chu moved to Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga from Ligue 1 club Metz in the summer of 2008, when Hope spent a club-record β¬30 million for him, which proved to be worth it. Hope and Rangnick got it right, and their side went on to win a league title and a Champions League in three seasons, which was nothing short of a miracle for Hoffenheim, who had been an amateur side of the southern German regional league a few years ago...... And Chu is the key figure in the miracle of the countryside...... Look at Hoffenheim this season, after Chu left the team and turned to Real Madrid, they finished eighth in the league and did not even qualify for the Europa League......"
Helt noticed that Rangnick was wandering again, and he realized that the television behind him was probably to blame, so he turned his head to look. After reading it, he turned to Rangnick and said, "I know it's not easy to find you another Chu, but at Schalke 04, you have a chance to start over." You know, we used to have a very good cooperation at Schalke 04......"
Rangnick said to Hault: "It's not a small matter, I think I need time to think about it, Horst. β
"Of course, of course. Of course you have to think about it. It's not a trivial matter......" Hale nodded in agreement, but he added, "but you'd better inform me of your decision sooner rather than later, you know...... Time waits for no one, and the new season is about to begin. β
For the players, the season has just ended, it's time for vacation, and the new season is still far away. But for the club's hierarchy and managers, the new season is almost underway.
"I will, I want to...... After watching the Champions League final, I'll give you an answer, Horst. β
Today Helt came to him on behalf of Schalke 04 club and wanted to coach Schalke 04 himself. He did have some intrigues, starting with six seasons in charge at Hoffenheim, the longest he has managed in a team. He led the team to the pinnacle of his coaching career, winning both the domestic league and the Champions League. What else can you do if you stay on this team? Defending these two titles? It's too difficult.
Rangnick felt that it was time to start a new cycle, just like Chu Zhongtian said when he left Hoffenheim. A cycle is over, and a new one is coming.
But he still hopes that he can think about it seriously, at least let him watch the Champions League final before making a decision. Maybe in Chu Zhongtian, he can still find inspiration?
The league has ended, and Hoffenheim's high-tech training base, which has only been in use for a season, is quiet and quiet.
However, in the town of Hoffenheim, near the team's former training ground, visitors can still be seen.
Because of the success of Hoffenheim's team, this little-known town has become a tourist attraction, and many tourists and journalists have flocked to this town to find out why such a town with a permanent population of only 3,000 can produce a team that beats Barcelona in the Champions League final and lifts the European Cup.
The tourist boom that the Champions League has brought to the town has not subsided.
Cornelia led a wave of tourists to her family's house, a blue-and-white chimney with a painted Hoffenheim player's house, which has become a scene in the town of Hoffenheim and a must-stop for anyone who comes here for travel and interviews.
Cornelia opens the door and welcomes visitors inside.
The house was filled with photos of the owners of the house with the Hoffenheim stars, as well as jerseys signed by the Hoffenheim stars.
Many of the decorations and knick-knacks in the home bear traces of Hoffenheim Football Club, and it can be seen that the owner of this house is indeed very much in love with this team.
Cornelia explained the origin of these photos and autographs...... This is the club's owner, Dietma. Mr. Hope came to the house in search of photographs of his childhood footprints β another reason why this house is so famous is that it was once home to Germany's richest man, Dietmar. The place where Mr. Hope was born and lived as a child.
This is a photo of the club's legendary coach Rangnick when he first arrived at the club, when Hoffenheim was still struggling in the southern German regional league. But since then, Hope's team has begun to dream big...... There is a very eye-catching photo of Hoffenheim beating Barcelona at Wembley Stadium to lift the European Champions Cup.
In the photo, it is easy to find the captain Chu Zhongtian holding the trophy in the center.
A tourist pointed to the photo and asked: "Chu left the team after winning the European Champions Cup, is this a blow to you?" β
Cornelia nodded, "If I say no, you'll think I'm lying." Yes, his departure is our loss. β
"How many people turned to resent him after he left the team?"
"I don't know...... Anyway, I don't have anyone like that around me. Cornelia shrugged.
"Then why didn't we see him on your faΓ§ade?" Some tourists pointed out this. On the outer wall of Cornelia's house, there is such a picture of winning the championship, on which all Hoffenheim origins are there, but they just don't see Chu Zhongtian.
If this is the case, then this Cornelia is lying, at least she herself is the most resentful of Chu Zhongtian.
Instead of getting angry when she heard the tourist's question, Cornelia turned around and walked to the gate, then beckoned everyone to come out.
After everyone came out, she closed the door from the outside, and when the gate and the door frame were combined, a complete image of Chu Zhongtian holding the European Champions Cup and cheering appeared vividly in front of everyone.
The dynamic painting method and bright colors were as if Chu Zhongtian would jump out of the middle of this door at any time.
Faced with such a beautiful door, some of the tourists couldn't help but exclaim.
With a proud look on her face, Cornelia introduced to the visitors: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most legendary character of Hoffenheim - Chu!! β
Real Madrid arrived in Munich three hours earlier than their arch-rivals, and three hours later, the entire Barcelona team arrived at Munich International Airport on a flight.
At the airport, the team was also welcomed by many media and fans. You must know that Barcelona also has a lot of fans in Germany, because they play football very beautifully and gorgeously.
Some media lamented that this Champions League final may be the clash between the two most popular teams in world football today, and the number of fans of Barcelona and Real Madrid is among the best in the world, and this clash is a real "peak matchup".
In an interview at the airport, Pique summed up the past season.
'We lost the league title, it's not a big deal, we've won three in a row. I would say that only the Champions League final is the most important thing, and as long as we can beat them and lift the trophy, this season can still be called perfect! β
Pique's words were then ridiculed by the Madrid media: "The man who has lost the Copa del Rey and the league title in a row is embarrassed to say that this season is perfect? What is perfect? If Real Madrid can beat Barcelona in the final and lift the European Cup, it will be a perfect season. β
"I would advise Piquet to read more books and study what 'perfection' is."
Journalists are always very sharp when they scold people.
If you talk about it, let alone Pique, all the Barcelona players combined are no match for these journalists.
But they have a way to silence the Madrid media, and that is to beat their backing Real Madrid in the final and then humiliate the Madrid media and Real Madrid to their heart's content.
The Catalan media are less interested in a verbal war with the Madrid media over Pique's words, and they are more concerned about whether Guardiola has found a way to deal with Chu Zhongtian. The two meetings this season, combined with one in last season's Champions League final, have made all Barcelona fans realise that the talent of Chuzhong is their biggest threat. Now in the "most threatening to Barcelona" list, Chu Zhongtian has surpassed Mourinho and is at the top of the list.
Barcelona supporters had been expecting news such as "Chu was injured in training and could miss the Champions League final".
But to their disappointment, Chu Zhongtian's body pretended to be like a cow, even if he practiced every day, he didn't show any tiredness, let alone any injuries.
By now, both teams have arrived in Munich, and the Catalan media has little hope of digging up the news of Chu Zhongtian's injury.
Instead, they asked Guardiola if he had any remedy for Chu Zhongtian.
Pep Guardiola said: "Of course there is, but I'm sorry I can't tell you. β
The media in Madrid scoffed at the claim. If you don't tell us, how will we know if you have it? We don't know if you really have it, so isn't that what you say? You say yes, that's what you say? What about cheating children?
The Catalan media began to cheer, believing that Guardiola had finally found a way to restrain Chu Zhongtian.
Although Guardiola did not say it, they all expressed understanding and believed that it was a necessary measure of secrecy. The match against Real Madrid was so important that if something was leaked before the game, it could have led to a loss.
They completely agreed to keep the "method of dealing with Chu Zhongtian" a first-class secret.
They even have a tacit understanding not to guess before the game, in case they guess, isn't it tantamount to leaking secrets in disguise? Let Real Madrid know that the cunning and hateful Mourinho will definitely change his plans and make targeted deployments...... So is there really a crack for Guardiola?
The answer is yes.
Pep Guardiola is looking forward to this final, as he has already figured out how to deal with Chu Zhongtian, and for this, he has also changed Barcelona's football tradition.
It can be said that he has done everything for this championship.
It can also be seen how important this title is to Guardiola.
Pep Guardiola will surely know that this game will be key to the continuation of Barcelona's dynasty, and if they lose to Real Madrid in the final, they will be held back by a rising Real Madrid. Pep Guardiola can already feel the threat that Real Madrid presents to him, and in order to stop Real Madrid, he will have to beat his opponents in this game and stifle the threat in the cradle.
As long as they can beat Real Madrid and lift the Champions League trophy for the fifth time, then Barcelona's success can continue. The significance of the victory of this game is to tell the world that even if Real Madrid, which has Chu Zhongtian, Mourinho, and three world footballers, cannot beat Barcelona, and other teams in the world should not dream of beating Barcelona, and Barcelona's unification of world football will become an indisputable reality!
