Chapter 101: The Decisive Battle of Bruges 1
"Are you ready?"
"Of course!"
"Are you ready?"
"I'm ready!"
"Are you ready?"
"We're ready!"
"OK, everybody can see the Brugge players behind me! Yes, I just interviewed them. After the semi-final against Mosgaulen, Real Antwerp's player Yu Liang said in the post-match interview, that is, Brugge, are you ready? Haha, now I can tell you out loud that they're ready! Yu Liang, are you ready? ”
Yu Liang, who was sitting in front of the TV, watched the sports news of Belgium's *** TV station, with a helpless smile on his face.
"Are they powerful?"
Since discussing life events with Deng Yu, Deng Yu moved directly into Yu Liang's apartment.
The relationship between the two is on a straight rise.
But the only thing that can't be controlled is that Deng Yu really doesn't have any interest in sports.
This may be a common problem for artistic talents.
"Better than us!"
Yu Liang, who controlled his desires and was well rested, showed his level in these two days of training, which made Van Ake breathe a sigh of relief.
However, as the match day approached, the atmosphere in the training ground still revealed a hint of depression.
"Can you win, then?"
Can you win?
Yu Liang touched the back of his head, uncertain in his heart.
Compared to their squad, Club Brugge can be called luxurious, with internationals in every position.
The front line is led by Real Madrid striker Portillo and Croatia international Balaban, and is full of attacking power.
"You're going to win! Come on! ”
"Yes, we will win!"
Kissing Deng Yu's forehead, Yu Liang smiled.
Although the squad is not as luxurious as Brugge, football matches cannot be won by relying on the lineup.
If this is the case, Real Madrid will not be undefeated.
But the result?
With a luxurious squad, they have not only lost the league title in recent seasons.
After winning the club's ninth Champions League trophy, they have failed to reach the final for four consecutive seasons and have been excluded from the quarter-finals in the last two seasons.
They can't win the league and we won't lose this game.
Looking at the lights on the ceiling, Yu Liang muttered, "Yes, we will definitely win!" ”
……
"Yes! They're very strong and it's a tough game tomorrow night. ”
At the press conference before the game, Yu Liangmian swore by reporters.
"But that doesn't mean we're going to lose this game, we're going to do everything we can to win this game!"
"As for the pressure of the game, there is definitely one! After all, their strength is stronger than ours! But now the outside world thinks that this game, we lost, they are the champions, so I think they will be under more pressure! If they lose the title, how will they mix in Belgium after that? ”
As soon as Yu Liang's words came out, the reporters in the news hall immediately laughed.
For the upcoming cup final, Club Brugge has shown a great deal of confidence.
On various occasions, they have made it clear that they want to win the trophy in order to secure a Europa League qualification.
The reason why they show this great self-confidence is not only because of their own strength, but also because they simply look down on Real Antwerp, who have just completed the upgrade.
For a Belgian giant like Club Brugge, there really is no need for them to have a promoted horse in their sights. Even this promoted team, which was once a century-old powerhouse, was ruthlessly despised by them.
……
14 May 2006.
Because the venue for the final was played at the Van den Stock Stadium in Brussels.
So this morning, Yu Liang and his teammates had a physical training at the club.
After lunch, they took the team's bus directly to Brussels.
While they were heading to Brussels, the highway was littered with vehicles of fans heading to Brussels to cheer them on.
When they met the team bus, they waved the team's scarf and sang the team's anthem.
The league wins, the team is promoted and reaches the cup final.
Most Antwerp fans have never experienced anything like this.
After finally experiencing this kind of pomp, can the fans not be excited?
Looking at the vehicles passing by from time to time, the fans sang the team song passionately and waved the team's scarf, King Dong sighed, "The fans are so enthusiastic!" ”
"yes!"
Glancing out the window, Yu Liang answered, and then muttered, "So we can't let them down, we can't lose the game!" ”
When I arrived in Brussels, it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon.
They rested in the hotel for two hours, and after a brief dinner, they headed to Van den Stock Stadium for a warm-up session.
With nearly three hours to go, the stadium was empty and there weren't many people around, except for some media reporters on the sidelines.
As they warmed up for longer and longer, some fans gradually appeared in the stands.
At the end of a series of warm-up activities, many fans gathered in the stands.
Because there was a game in the evening, they didn't eat much for dinner. After nearly two hours of training on the field to warm up, they used a lot of energy. So as soon as they returned to the locker room, they were asked to refuel.
Football matches consume a lot of energy, in order to replenish the energy of the players.
Before the game, the staff of the club prepared some bread, fruit and other food in the locker room.
It's going to be a very intense game, so the energy will be even greater.
In order to ensure that he had sufficient physical fitness in the game, after coming to the locker room, Yu Liang immediately picked up two bananas and stuffed them into his mouth.
After eating two bananas, Yu Liang felt that his lost physical strength was slowly recovering.
Leaning against the top of the closet, he began to close his eyes and recuperate.
"Guys, keep resting! Let me say a few words! ”
Less than two minutes into his break, Van Ack walked in.
"The importance of tactics and games doesn't need to be repeated! This game is a defensive counterattack, and you must be stable when defending, and pay attention to each other's cooperation and protection. When counterattacking, the speed must be fast, and the opportunity to hit the goal directly......"
In the locker room, Yu Liang and they are making final preparations for the game.
At the same time, Verbeek on the commentary bench was also making a final introduction to the pre-match situation of this game.
“…… It was Antwerp's first cup final since 1992. Coupled with the fact that they won the league title at home not long ago, their long-term victory has made their fans look forward to them! Of course, they are also very confident in this game. As for the result, it will be 90 minutes later! First, let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides. ”
