Chapter 496: Feverish Finals Atmosphere

In the end, Valencia's regular pre-match press conference ended on an unhappy note.

However, this is from the perspective of the Italian media, because they feel that Iroh does not know how to respect his opponent at all, and the final Champions League winner is announced with a day before the game, which belongs to the kind of uneducated, and in the end, it rises to the level of immorality.

I have to say that the media's copywriting ability is quite good.

Of course, the Spanish media is supporting Aillo's remarks, after all, Valencia now represents the whole of Spain, and Valencia itself has the strength to win the Champions League this season, so it should have such confidence to win the championship.

Regarding Valencia and Elloh's championship declaration, at the regular press conference held by AC Milan before the game, the reporter who had a good relationship with them naturally mentioned the question of participating in the interview with Valencia in the morning, especially about Elo's championship declaration, of course, by the way, there is a bit of oil and vinegar.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that AC Milan didn't make a tough response, Ancelotti seemed to be like an old demon who had cultivated the year before last, and immediately saw the media's lies, but in the thought that if he didn't respond, it might affect the morale of the team, as a good man, he was also quite skillful when he spoke, "It is the right of every player to express his enthusiasm for the championship, it doesn't mean anything, we just need to be ready for the final......"

The 40-year-old captain Maldini ignored it and replied with a hint: "Every player should be enthusiastic about the championship, this is the fundamental reason for the improvement of the players, so I believe my team likes this kind of opponent very much, because beating a team full of confidence will make our confidence go to the next level." ”

No one thought that Maldini, who was nearly 40 years old, would have such ambitions, and it was indeed an immortal legend! Energetic!!

When it was Kaka's turn to greet Kaka, he was still habitually modest, "Ai is a great player, but I am also confident in my own strength, but the final result can only be revealed after the end of the game." ”

After saying that, Kaka habitually drew a cross on his chest.

Compared with Valencia's regular pre-match press conference, AC Milan's regular pre-match press conference was really dull, except for Maldini's words, the answers of head coach Ancelotti and Kaka were not as strong as expected, or not hot enough.

However, what these media outlets don't know is that there is a lot of dissatisfaction with Iello's remarks within AC Milan.

Especially Ivan Gattuso, who threatened to prevent Elo from death when he first adapted to the venue, he is quite concerned about the Champions League title, and he still remembers Istanbul two years ago, he does not want to see Valencia win in tomorrow's final, so when the team is in a tactical lesson, he swears to let Elo do nothing in the final.

"Hey, Ivan, don't be ashamed then!" Here are Pirlo's words.

"Hahaha...... Yes, yes, yes, you lose a small person, and Paul, who is responsible for supplementing the defense, loses a big one! "Inzaghi was very excited to learn that he was the starting striker in the Champions League final, and he was also very enthusiastic when he was discussing!

Only Kaka fell into his own tranquility.

The champion is mine!

Kaka clenched his fists secretly, swearing in his heart.

On the day of the Champions League final, Iroh's biological clock woke up at six o'clock as usual, but because he was going to play his first Champions League final in the evening, he usually had to do 3,000 sit-ups, compressed to 500, just to feel his own muscle strength.

Of course, while the team had not yet had a collective meal, he also deliberately snapped his fingers to enter the strongest winger system, and watched his ungodly number jΓΉ and personal talent, and his restless heart calmed down a little.

When he came out of the system, he habitually took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, there were two missed calls and a few text messages, all of which were his good friends, and he replied to the text message in a unified manner, and when facing Taylor's text message, he didn't know if it was the reason for being particularly excited, so he replied to a text message: "Honey, I won't let you down!" ”

As soon as he put down his mobile phone and was about to go out to play with the team, the SMS prompt on his mobile phone rang again, looking at the remarks, Iroh smiled helplessly, pressed the 'open' button, and the text message was displayed: Hey, I'm so excited, dear, come on! I'm going to wear your shirt to cheer you on tonight.

Although helpless, I still have to reply: Okay, I'm going to gather with the team too!

'Drop'''''

As soon as the phone was put down, it rang again, but this time Iroh didn't reply, but turned it off directly, in Iroh's words, women can't get used to it.

The Valencian players gathered in the morning for a nutritious breakfast and then rested for an hour, then went for a half-hour jog on the training ground provided by the organizers, followed by some stretching exercises.

Albelda, who has just returned from injury, is doing some simple things in the company of the team doctor, and if there are no major problems, he can play tonight's game.

In fact, Albelda has fully recovered, accompanied by the team doctor Hernandez, just to let the media transmit a signal that captain Albelda's injury is not completely healed, and it is difficult to say whether he can play, and he was caught off guard by playing AC Milan.

After lunch, the team members rested for two hours to maintain a good mental state, and then went to the hotel for half an hour of strength training, and then went back to take a shower.

At half-past four, four hours before the game, the players began to eat dinner together.

At half past six o'clock in the afternoon local time in Greece, the team departed from their hotel under the flashing lights of reporters and headed for their destination, the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

Half an hour later, the entire Valencia team arrived on the periphery of the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

It is worth mentioning that the Valencia players did not need to worry about being interviewed by reporters or congested fans this time, and the organizers were thoughtful, and when the bus arrived at the stadium, the stadium security personnel fenced the road between the bus exit and the player's entrance.

The players arrived at the locker room at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, rested for a while, and then packed up their warm-up equipment, and the players were rushed to the pitch by Flores to warm up.

For a moment, Flores and his assistant Paul were left in the locker room.

Flores took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, this is a habit he has developed over the years, as long as he encounters something tense, as long as he takes a deep breath, it will get better, but this time there was an accident, he breathed two or three times in a row and did not feel relaxed, his heart was still pounding.

So his body was also beating violently with his heart and began to tremble.

Flores's physical abnormality was quickly discovered by Paul, who had come back from the tactical board, which completely startled him: "Enrique, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just a little nervous!" Flores waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.

Paul subconsciously rolled his eyes, is there such a scary thing for you? The whole person who was nervous trembled?? But what left him speechless was still to come.

"But now it's fine!"

Paul secretly pinched a handful of sweat, is there such a trick?

Although on the surface Paul blamed Flores for being shocked, but in his heart he expressed his understanding, he was also standing on the final of the Champions League for the first time, and men always care very much about their first time.

Even if he has done enough homework before the game: watching videos, analyzing the weaknesses of opponents, and filing various situations, but these are not enough for him to feel safe enough, as a professional coach, he has a good understanding of the unpredictability of football, plus this opponent is not small, it is AC Milan, who has won the Champions League six times! Reaching the final twice in three years and reaching the semi-finals once, Valencia has a lot of experience in the Champions League, and Valencia can't catch up.

So it is destined that neither Flores nor Paul can treat this game with a normal heart.

After about two minutes, Flores shook her head, brushing the bad feelings in her mind and waiting until she felt a little more normal before stopping.

The Olympia Stadium in Athens is a multi-purpose stadium, which means that there is also a track and field track around the perimeter of the football field, which makes the stands farther away from the stadium, and it is difficult to create an overwhelming or tsunami-like effect.

Of course, there are pros and cons, for example, some players are game-oriented players, and the better the atmosphere, the better the performance, while some players are more scared and make mistakes.

However, at this time, the southern end of the stadium was already the first to sound a loud song, which was Milan's team song "Milan, Milan", because the AC Milan players had already started to warm up on the sidelines.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the layout of the fans on both sides of the game.

Since this is a neutral venue, both sides of the match will need to draw a home-and-away draw before the game.

Valencia drew the home draw, while AC Milan drew the away sign, so the fan position is divided into north and south ends, the home team north stand, and the away team south stand, which is the most common layout in European football.

But because AC Milan's away shirt is white, and Valencia's home shirt is also white, AC Milan is wearing the home shirt again, so the separation of fans can be seen at a glance.

After about five minutes, the Valencia players began to walk out of the tunnel.

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed fans were the first to chant and then spread from one stand to several nearby stands, until the 'Bat Guards', a die-hard Valencian fan group that occupied the North Stand, reached the climax of cheers at the Olympic Stadium in Athens for the first time.

The atmosphere at the scene was very good, compared to the supporters of AC Milan, Valencia had more supporters, because in addition to the about 40,000 tickets distributed to the home and away stadiums, about 30% of the remaining 30,000 tickets for neutral fans were purchased by Chinese fans, so there were Valencia players entering just now, and the atmosphere in the stadium was on a higher level than just now.
