Chapter 1338: Platini's Trick
After Lin Yu scored his 499th goal since joining Real Madrid, the first half of the game ended with the referee's whistle.
For Jurgen Klopp, conceding a goal in the last minute is undoubtedly like a nightmare, but when you think about it, it's not the worst, only one goal behind in the first half, this is not the end, it's not the end of the day, it's not the time to despair, everything has to look at the second half to see.
And because of this conceded goal, it also strengthened Klopp's determination to play against Real Madrid, because he has no second option, he has never been a manager who is good at defending and counterattacking, so let him play his shortcomings and avoid his strengths, which is not very reliable, he still believes in his team's offensive ability, as long as he wants, he feels that his team will definitely be able to compete with Real Madrid for this Champions League title.
The goal conceded in the last part of the first half was his negligence, he didn't expect Zidane to come to this hand, and it seems that the man who used to be called the most relaxed manager has now grown up.
Although the main attack in the latter part of the first half was done by Real Madrid's players, without Zidane's instructions, he would not have believed that those men would fight so hard.
As it was, Zidane took advantage of Barcelona's slackness after the equaliser and his players' strong desire for revenge. Wang, made such a fierce attack order.
All he had to do was to make a gesture at Lin Yu, because these were all practiced during his usual training.
So he may inadvertently make a gesture that represents a tactical adjustment, regardless of the opposing coach or the player. If you can't understand this gesture, it's impossible to take the necessary measures to prevent it.
Klopp turned his head to look at Zidane on the side. He knew that his current opponent was not just Lin Yu. And this difficult coach. But he can't give in because he can't go back, and if he doesn't get the results he wants this season, he'll be kicked out of Barcelona.
Giants coaches are like this, whether it is your own belief or not, as long as you can't get results, then you just can't.
This time in the Champions League final, if he can win, then he will definitely make a name for himself. He may even be hailed as the strongest manager, after all, the current Real Madrid team has never lost in the Champions League final, and the strength of this team is undoubted, and it is even hailed as the strongest team in the history of football.
But if he loses, he could fall off the altar and lose the trust of the club, as well as the players and fans.
Of course, he probably won't worry that no one is looking for him. Even a regularly defeated general like Villas-Boas will be wanted by a club, let alone a club that will return to Borussia Dortmund, and of course he may go to another team.
But he didn't want that ending. He will be unwilling, he came to La Liga, he didn't come to fail.
So this game. He has to win, he has to win!
……
Real Madrid in the dressing room. Zinedine Zidane's expression was relaxed, and he was proud of his players. I'm also proud of the changes I've made in the last stages.
Now, the players are full of confidence, and it can even be said that they are bursting, he thinks that there is nothing bad about it, Real Madrid is the hegemon of Europe, so there should be such confidence, no matter how strong the opponent is, we are the best, this is the mentality that a hegemon should have.
It's just that he wants to prevent some players from underestimating the enemy after their self-confidence is over-inflated, you can be proud, you can be proud, but you can't underestimate the enemy.
"To be able to lead Barcelona in the first half is a sign of our quality and it shows that you are better than them," he said. But let's not forget that we have a goal conceded, this goal means that our defense is not as good as we imagined, and the opponent's attack is not as bad as we imagined, if you think you have won now, then the last thing you get is probably a loss! What I want you to understand is that you can be confident, you can be proud, but don't underestimate the enemy, the score of 2:1 is not enough for us to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai, if you want to relax, then a few more goals ahead of them, understand? ”
Zidane's words, of course, the players of Real Madrid understand what they mean, they and Barcelona are also old rivals, naturally they will not underestimate the enemy, in fact, Zidane does not have to worry about this.
As for Lin Yu, that is a special case, Lin Yu has never taken Barcelona to heart at all, for him, this is just a team that can be defeated by him at any time.
……
Unlike Zidane's warning, in the Barcelona dressing room, Klopp's job is to cheer up his players, improve their fighting spirit, and not be intimidated by the current scoreline.
After all, the score was overtaken in the last stages of the first half, it was like falling from heaven to hell all of a sudden, there was no buffer zone in the middle, and the impact on morale was not a certain one, Klopp could ease up, but his players may not be able to, so he had to untie the knots of these players.
'The opponent was strong and they took the lead in the last moments of the first half. Are some of us scared to pee? Klopp asked in a mocking tone.
Then, without waiting for the players to answer, he continued: "If anyone feels that they can't beat the opponent, then you can withdraw from this game now, I will not stop you, of course, if you feel that you are a man with no eggs." ”
"We are not afraid of them!" Suarez stood up and shouted.
An imperceptible smile appeared on Klopp's lips, but he didn't speak.
'That's right, it's not a big deal, it's just a goal, we can equalize the first time, we can equalize the second time, and they don't defend very well. Messi also said that he is rarely so excited as he is today.
As a man, no one likes to be scolded for being eggless, so no matter what they thought before, now the Barcelona players are all angry, eager to go to the stadium and marry Real Madrid immediately.
"Very well, all I want is your eyes! What is Real Madrid! What is Lin Yu! What is Zidane! We are Barcelona! We are the strongest team. Get rid of them and ascend to the throne of the king of Europe! "It's already the equivalent of self-hypnosis. However, the effect is very good, and it doesn't really matter whether Barcelona is the strongest team or not. The important thing is that Jurgen Klopp has succeeded in rekindling the fighting spirit of Barcelona's players, and that is enough.
……
While both managers were doing their best to help their players get their best and get ready for the first half of the game, something unthinkable happened off the pitch.
"Why should we leave? We bought the tickets! ”
Right in the stands, a group of heavily armed riot police was driving away Dortmund fans.
"I'm sorry, we were instructed that you obtained tickets by illegal means, and we are worried about unsafe accidents. So please cooperate and get off the course! A leader said.
"Fart! If you dare to touch us, try it! I don't believe that there is no royal law in a democratic society, can it? "The Dortmund fans were so excited that they stood up and confronted the bomb police.
They were greeted by tear gas and beatings with batons.
They were forcibly taken out of the Allianz Arena and then thrown outside.
Soros received an internal call at this time, from a friend of his.
"What the hell is going on, I saw the Dortmund fans kicked out of the stadium and they didn't do anything." Soros asked.
"Hmph. Under the pretext that it is for security, it is shameful to say that these people have obtained tickets through illegal means and are likely to harbor terrorists. Said on the other end of the phone.
"What's the reason for that?"
"What else could be the reason. Barcelona protested, while Bayern Munich's hierarchy supported it, and Platini nodded. Three-way cooperation, to give Real Madrid a disadvantage. They don't want the Allianz Arena to become Real Madrid's home stadium, these bastards. The other end of the line replied.
"Damn it. That's shameless, isn't it? Soros was stunned, it was the first time he had heard such a thing.
"Not only that, in order to make their actions legal and reasonable, they also let those Bayern Munich fans who sold tickets come to collect the tickets, and then return the money to the Dortmund fans."
"Are Bayern Munich fans willing?"
"Yes! How could you not want to! These people hated Lin Yu to the core, and they had long regretted selling the tickets, and it was too late for them to be happy if they could get the tickets to re-enter at this time. ”
"Bastard, this is too shameless, can you still do this?" Soros, as the president of Real Madrid Club, couldn't help but burst into foul language.
"Mr. President, we don't have anything to do now, in fact they have a good reason, and UEFA has the backing of them, alas."
"Damn it, just endure it?" Soros said annoyedly.
"Don't worry, Mr. President, as early as when Platini was re-elected, Mr. Lin Yu had already managed to arrange for many people to enter UEFA, this time Platini did this, purely to make trouble for himself, he thought it was okay, but he didn't expect that the conversation between the three of them had already been recorded, and after the game was over, once the recording was announced, Platini should get out, did he really think that others could not do anything about him?"
"It's all after the game, but this game ......"
"Mr. President, you don't believe in Mr. Lin Yu's ability?"
"Ha Luha, what you said made me suddenly feel no more stressed. Yes, although I am very unhappy that they drove away the Dortmund fans, but I believe that Lin Yu, no matter what the other party does, we will definitely win this game. Soros laughed.
"Then Mr. President, I'll have to hang up, or that old Platini thing will be suspicious."
"You hang up, remember, the people who secretly assisted Lin Yu in collecting information, this time they must let Platini get out of UEFA, this is his own death, and he can't blame others." Soros gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't worry, Mr. President, I'm not used to this old thing for a long time."
Hung up the phone, Soros's face was a little not good-looking, because at this time, Bayern Munich fans had begun to enter, most of the fans who originally supported Real Madrid, but now, most of them have become fans who support Barcelona, there is no doubt that in terms of the momentum of the fans, Real Madrid is temporarily losing.
Soros thought about it, he simply dialed Zidane's phone, he felt that this matter should be told to the players, this is an opportunity to motivate them, and it cannot be wasted.
Good things sometimes turn into bad things, and bad things sometimes turn into good things.
In the locker room, Zidane pressed the hands-free, so what Soros said, everyone heard.
Pogba scolded shamelessly.
Lin Yu sneered and said, "Do they think this will make us succumb?" It's ridiculous, how many devils' home stadiums we've been to, and we haven't been killed, could it be that Platini's old thing is really getting more and more confused, really think that this can stop us from continuing to win the championship? ”
"yes, he was very wrong, he did it, and the command made us more united." Royce gritted his teeth.
"I'm glad to hear what you guys have to say. Lin Yu, Gundogan, Royce! The three of you are players who used to come out of Dortmund, and now your fans are being bullied, what to do, I don't think I need to say more, you should know the truth. (To be continued......)
