Chapter 526: The Declaration of the Paris Airport
readx;
While the rest of the Spanish teams were disbanded and the players were on vacation, Real Madrid continued to train as usual. The players did not have any resistance to this www.biquge.info but were all excited, just because they had the opportunity to participate in the final of the Champions League.
Players from other teams, even training doesn't make much sense because they don't have a chance.
On this day, Wang Li still came to the club very early as usual, and the training in the past few days was carried out in the club, and he did not go to Real Madrid's professional training ground, which was mainly because Carlo just wanted the players to do some training to recover their condition.
This kind of training is boring and boring, but Carlo feels that the overall strength of Real Madrid is much stronger than Lyon, so as long as the team maintains a normal state, it is normal to win, so as long as the team can have a normal state of play, there is no need to do any special arrangement training.
And these days, Wang Li has not trained for his surname, he only keeps practicing long-range shots and some shooting moves.
In fact, Wang Li is also very much looking forward to the upcoming Champions League final!
Even if Wang Li can participate in such a competition every year, but only once a year, such a highest-level, highest-level competition, he has an extreme expectation in his heart, after the victory, the team can get the club's highest honor championship trophy, is there anything better than this?
Perhaps, the last time he participated in the Champions League final, it was a pity because he was sent off at half-time, but anyway, the game was won and he won the first European championship trophy.
And now, in his second time participating in this competition, he feels that he should play at a higher level and strive to lead Real Madrid to a hearty victory, a perfect victory, so that the championship trophy will be more meaningful.
Thinking about it, Wang Li had already come to the training ground.
In Pingyue, there will be no one on the court during this time period, Wang Li will always be the first one, but today he saw a player, that is the captain of the team, Pavin.
"Francisco?" Seeing Pa Wen, Wang Li was a little surprised.
"Oh? Allan. ”
Pavin's short brown hair looked very sophisticated, and when he saw Wang Lihe kick the ball into the goal, he said hello and said, "You come so early every day?" ”
Wang Li nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What?" Your injuries? ”
Pavon suffered a leg injury in the last league game and has been recuperating during this time, which has kept Wang Li as Real Madrid's captain on the field.
"The doctor said that in the next two days, I can participate in the adaptation training." Clearly, Pavon is happy to be able to recover as he is in time for the all-important Champions League final.
"That's really good news." Wang Li said with a smile.
Although he thinks that even if Pavon does not play, Real Madrid can still win, but in fact, the relationship between the two in the club is very good, aside from other things, just personal feelings, he also hopes that Pavon can play, after all, this kind of game for other players, there are not a few opportunities in their lives.
And if Pavon can play, it will definitely be a big boost to Real Madrid's backfield, and the backline led by him and Ramos will feel much stronger.
The two chatted a few more words and began to do some warm-up training on the court.
Soon, the Real Madrid players came to the training ground one by one, and they were surprised to see Pavon, because according to Pavon's injury, it is normal to miss the Champions League, but the early return from injury is a big help to Real Madrid, as the captain of the team, Pavon's popularity is not bad, and every player ran over to congratulate him.
However, Carlo, who was late, didn't say anything more about Pavon's appearance on the court, so he should have known about it a long time ago.
Although Real Madrid symbolically blocked the news, the press media was definitely very well informed, and those who were friendly with Real Madrid had all kinds of information channels - janitors, lawn caretakers, cleaners, some of the club's staff, and so on, almost all of them were more or less connected to the media.
At noon on the day Pavon participated in the club's training match, many journalists and media had already received the news, and they immediately made up a lot of 'insider' reports, which were preceded by a sentence of 'gossip' or 'inside information'.
However, although the official club of Real Madrid has not confirmed the news of Pavon's return, a photo of Pavon on the training ground in the newspaper Marca almost completely explains everything.
"In the Champions League final, Real Madrid captain Pavon is expected to make a comeback!"
Such news made the attention of the entire European media immediately focus on Real Madrid, Pavon has no doubt about Real Madrid's important surname, he is not only the captain of Real Madrid, but also the number one defender of Real Madrid, such a player can participate in the game, has a great impact on the game.
At least it's not that easy for Lyon to score.
In fact, in Pavon's absence, Real Madrid's defensive quality was definitely a big problem. In the game with Pavon participating, it is obvious that Real Madrid has conceded more goals than Pavon without participating in the game, such real data is in front of us, and everyone can't help but pay attention to Pavon.
Wang Li is Real Madrid's No. 1 star and the No. 1 striker, and Pavon is the cornerstone of Real Madrid's backline.
Florentino's 'Zidane Pavon' style Real Madrid business strategy also shows this, and Pavon's appearance is not only a big player in the team, he is also the best star that Real Madrid has cultivated since Florentino became president.
And now before this Champions League battle, Pavon has made a comeback, which has a great impact on Real Madrid's morale and image.
But when the media was vigorously discussing, a significant event happened in Real Madrid, which was an internal incident and was not spied on by the media, but it had a very great impact on Real Madrid.
In the afternoon, Carlo arranges a match-up match to adapt to the surname.
This kind of confrontation is a confrontation between the main team and the substitute, the purpose is of course to let the main players find the state of the game, adapt to the rhythm and atmosphere of the game, and take into account the training of the team.
However, before the start of the training match, Pavon took out the captain's armband when he was changing clothes.
After looking at the armband closely, he turned to Wang Li, put the captain's armband on Wang Li, and then patted him on the shoulder, the meaning of which was self-evident.
This scene was seen by many players, they were all staring at Wang Li and Pavin with interest, such a scene is difficult for other players to interject, but the other players of Real Madrid do not have much feeling in their hearts, mainly Pavon is already the captain of Real Madrid, and it doesn't matter if Wang Li is the captain of the team.
At Real Madrid, both were backed by all the players, and now that Pavon has handed over the captain's armband to Wang Li, the rest of the players don't feel much.
But as a party to the case, Wang Li reacted and wanted to return the armband to Pavon, but Pavin shook his head: "Allen, the team has been able to play so far, your credit is the greatest, you are the captain of the team, I think you are more suitable than me." ”
Such a sentence was exchanged for Wang Li's sincere smile.
In fact, Wang Li doesn't care about the position of captain of the team, his performance and positioning in the team are there, even if he is not the captain of the team, no one will object to what he wants to do on the field.
And the meaning of the captain's armband is an 'official' form, with the captain's armband, Wang Li has become the leader of the team as a matter of course, which is a recognition.
Seeing Pavon's expression, Wang Li knew that he couldn't change his mind, so he took it very happily and took it directly on his arm, which made all the players in the team applaud
While Real Madrid was training hard and making final preparations for the final, the Lyon team in France was of course also preparing.
Lyon's head coach Houllier didn't think of any good tactics, with Barcelona, Chelsea, Benfica, etc., all failed, Houllier didn't think he was better than Mourinho, Rijkaard and other famous coaches.
Therefore, he simply didn't want to do more training to adapt to the surname, and increase confrontation training to prepare for Real Madrid.
If the outside media knew that Houllier was doing this, they would definitely be even less optimistic about Lyon, but Houllier has his own ideas.
Lyon are at their peak and have won several domestic cup and league titles in a row, which is a glorious result. For Real Madrid, maybe other teams have to do something about the surname, but it turns out that that approach has not had much effect.
So, what if the team and Real Madrid go hard?
As soon as this question appeared, Houllier felt that his eyes lit up, if Real Madrid was not the brunette boy, Lyon would not be afraid of Real Madrid at all.
Lyon's forward line is not weak.
The most gratifying thing for Houllier is, of course, the team's top scorer Juninho Jr., who has been the team's top scorer for several seasons in a row, and has also won two Ligue 1 top scorers.
Juninho. Penambucano (referred to as Juninho Jr.) is a Brazilian player, he is the top scorer in Ligue 1 for three consecutive years in 03/04, 04/05, 05/06, but don't think that the top scorer is necessarily a striker, in fact, Juninho Jr. is a midfielder, he is most memorable for his high accuracy, rapid drop and powerful free kicks.
After 2000, Juninho Jr. was favored by Lyon for his performance in the Brazilian league, but because of a contract dispute with Lyon, he did not play for a whole season. That said, Juninho Jr. excelled in his first season at the French club, winning Lyon's first league title and the French Super Cup.
After several years in a row, until now Lyon has won these two honors against the goals of Juninho Jr., and among them, the role of Juninho Jr. is unquestionable, he is not only a large number of goals, but also the key goals always appear on him, such a player even Real Madrid coach Carlo has highlighted to the players.
With Juninho Jr. as the core of the attack, Lyon's attacking ability can be imagined, by no means comparable to ordinary teams, in fact, to reach the final of the Champions League, Lyon has fully proved the strength of the team.
Therefore, head coach Houllier is very confident in the team's forward line, and he believes that Real Madrid's poor defense will never be able to hold Lyon's attack.
Defensively, Lyon's pillar is not a single player, but the team's goalkeeper Kupet.
In 1996, the 24-year-old moved from Saint-Etienne to Lyon, a very risky move because the two teams were only 80 kilometres apart and had long been bitter rivals.
Saint-Etienne is a traditional powerhouse in Ligue 1, but it has declined in recent years, and Lyon has become stronger year by year after getting Coupe, and has now achieved five consecutive Ligue 1 titles, from this point of view, Kupet's original choice was the right one.
Now, Kupet's performance in the Lyon team is undoubtedly the best goalkeeper in Ligue 1, his achievements are not high, perhaps for him, the saddest thing is to be in the same era as the French goalkeeper Barthtz, the 1998 World Cup, so that Bartts has become irreplaceable France's number one main goalkeeper, even if Butts is now reduced from Manchester United to Marseille, even if he is suspended for half a year without a ball to play, but Kupett still can not completely replace Bartts's position.
Of course, these are the personal worries of the players, and for manager Houllier, Kupet is the pillar of Lyon's back, and with him in front of goal, Lyon's defence is always so solid.
In this way, Lyon have the world's best stars leading the team, both in attack and defence, and the team is generally united, at least in this regard, much better than Real Madrid, and the French team has always been known for its overall operation, which is by no means comparable to the Spanish team.
So, even though Real Madrid has a lot of stars, Houllier is not too worried at all.
No matter from which point of view, there is only one Wang Li who makes Houllier scratch his head the most.
With that brunette kid, how much does Real Madrid's strength increase? - Double, this is the conclusion reached by Houllier after constantly analyzing Real Madrid's game, with that brunette boy's continuous attack, Real Madrid's overall situation has really at least doubled.
This is not to say that Wang Li himself plays a greater role than the entire Real Madrid team, but his contribution to the team on the field and the bonus to the strength of the striker, after all, he has scored too many goals.
How can such a Real Madrid team play?
Hollier thought about it for a long time, and could only come to one conclusion - fight!
It's a simple word, but that's the best way, as long as Lyon plays better than Real Madrid in the game, and the team's strikers wear shooting boots, then Lyon can still win.
What are the probability of winning?
20 percent.
This is the conclusion that Houllier came to after some research, this conclusion is really frustrating and disappointing, but Houllier is satisfied, after all, this probability is much stronger than Benfica, what Koeman said after the game, almost all over the world, everyone remembered nothing else, only one sentence - Benfica will never win Real Madrid.
That is, the odds of Benfica winning are about 0
As the competition passed day by day, the atmosphere of the competition became more and more intense.
At this time, the media in Spain and France also began to make pre-match reports to gain a pre-match public opinion advantage. One after another, reports came out one after another, but most of these reports still revolve around the preparation of the two teams, this one says 'Beckham is in good shape', the other says 'Juninho Jr. scored a goal in training', etc., these reports obviously have no substance.
Both teams were training before the game, and very few players and coaches were interviewed, so it was really hard for the media to get any first-hand information.
But this day was an exception, as Real Madrid arrived in Paris on a special plane.
It was on 23 May, two days before the final began, and Carlo was clearly trying to give his players a day to get used to the pitch, and there was no room for sloppiness in the Champions League final.
For the final of this Champions Cup, UEFA attaches great importance to it, because this is the 51st Champions Cup final, which is a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Champions Cup, which is very meaningful, so this Champions Cup will be held in Paris, France, which is also the venue of the first Champions Cup.
Not only in terms of significance, in fact, Real Madrid and Lyon will definitely get more attention from UEFA when they enter the final, because UEFA has always wanted to make the five major leagues develop in a balanced manner, and whichever league comes out on top, then which league will be suppressed, which has always been the standard of UEFA's actions.
The French league, which has always been outstanding, has obviously been at a disadvantage, but this time Lyon reached the Champions Cup final, such a result is what UEFA wants to see, so before the game, UEFA even took the initiative to build momentum for this game, which is really rare.
It's not the first time Wang Li has been to Paris, but he is a stranger to the city, the last time he was here was when Chelsea played in the Champions League group stage against Paris Saint-Germain, and now think about it, it was at least a little over a year ago.
However, this does not hinder Wang Li's popularity.
He had just arrived in Paris and had not even gotten off the plane when a large crowd of fans came to welcome him.
These fans should be considered a ragtag army, mainly English and Spaniards, there are many local Parisian fans and fans from other countries, although it is only a ragtag army, but its number is definitely not to be underestimated, from the scene at least 5,000 people, and it is said that there are more fans outside the airport who cannot enter, which seriously affects the normal operation of Paris International Airport.
Of course, this is what Paris airports should be concerned about.
When the Real Madrid players walked out of the airport one by one, the 'ragtags' gave almost all the cheers to Wang Li, and few other players could get a share.
Compared to Wang Li's reputation in Europe, other stars can only be ashamed of themselves.
This made Wang Li a little excited and excited, he waved at the fans and shouted "thank you", and then there was an even bigger cheer, which made the other players jealous.
As soon as the players walked out of the airport, Wang Li was stopped by a group of reporters, mostly French journalists, who were probably able to stop the Real Madrid players here through the 'back door'.
In the face of this opportunity, of course, the reporters handed the microphone to Wang Li's mouth for the first time, and saw so many fans shouting Wang Li's name, and a reporter took the lead in jokingly asking, "Allen, seeing that there are so many fans in Paris supporting you, what do you want to say the most at this time?" ”
Wang Li waved his hand to the fans again, and then said excitedly: "I want to say to all the fans, I will bring the championship trophy from here to Spain!! ”
Hearing this, these French journalists were as disgusted as if they had eaten flies
