This Champions League final is a real matchup!!

The media also called the game a showdown of the times!!

The team that has won the most titles in the history of the Champions League is Real Madrid, the best team of the last century is also this team, and this season's Real Madrid has shown a surprisingly strong performance, and now even if they say that they are the best in the world, few fans will directly deny it, because they can't find a stronger team than Real Madrid.

Lyon, on the other hand, was so unknown in the twentieth century that it was almost unknown, but since the turn of the century, Lyon have won five Ligue 1 titles in a row, and their results in European competitions have improved year by year, and this year they reached the final of the Champions League.

Judging by Lyon's results, they are stronger than Bayern Munich, the hegemon of the Bundesliga, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this team is a rising powerhouse in the new century. Therefore, before the game, the media called the game "the showdown of the times in football", which is a direct collision between the best teams of the 20th century and the new giants of the 21st century.

Since the French football newspaper launched the name "Showdown of the Times", various media have quoted it, and the Showdown of the Times has become synonymous with this final.

Many media have used this word, and the media in the ancient countries of the East also use this word to describe the game, and it is worth mentioning that it should be a neutral media, but most of the media fans in the ancient countries of the East all support Real Madrid.

Yes, there is a sense of nationality in the ancient Oriental country than abroad, and almost none of the fans or the media are neutral, which is mainly due to a kind of 'standing faction' and 'sense of honor'.

In the ancient country of the East, most fans have an idea that they must support one side when watching football. This kind of thinking seems a bit incredible to many fans in Europe, but in fact, when fans in ancient Eastern countries watch the game, there will definitely be a side to support, maybe before watching the game, they have already figured out which side to support.

And without a team to support, these fans won't even be in the mood to watch the game, because they rarely really watch the game from an appreciative perspective.

In the two teams of Real Madrid and Lyon, the vast majority of fans in the ancient orient will of course support Real Madrid. In the ancient country of the East, there are a lot of Real Madrid fans, and Real Madrid's reputation in the ancient country of the East is also extremely loud, even many non-fans know this name.

This is the so-called 'positional' thinking, which makes fans in ancient Eastern countries support Real Madrid.

However, this kind of thinking is hardly influenced by the media in the ancient Orient, and most of these media adopt a neutral attitude when reporting on foreign events. However, the idea of 'sense of honor' has made the media also side with Real Madrid. Wang Li, the world's No. 1 football star with Chinese blood, is undoubtedly popular in the ancient Oriental country. Neckham has become the most famous foreign star in the ancient Oriental country. And Wang Li is in Real Madrid and has this relationship, of course they will choose to support Real Madrid.

"This is a clash of the times, can Real Madrid keep their unbeaten run in the Champions League final? We don't know if Lyon will emerge and win the trophy against Real Madrid, but we hope that Real Madrid will be the winner, and that would be the perfect result."

This is the attitude of the media in the ancient Orient.

However, there is clearly more to the pre-match than that, as this is the final matchup of the season and the pinnacle of European club competition, with media coverage of the game almost overwhelming.

For example, on the day he arrived in Paris, Wang Li and his teammates went to the hotel together, and after packing up, they went to the hotel lobby to eat together, but they did not eat the hotel food, but the athletes' meals prepared by the club's professional chefs.

It's a must.

Before the game, there can be no situation within the team.

is such a thing, which has been analyzed by the media, and they also focused on reporting what Wang Li has eaten, and then made a comment on these foods, and finally pointed out that after eating these foods, it will not affect the state of the athletes, nor will it cause diseases, etc.

However, after the report, many fans were worried about Wang Li's appetite, and they felt that eating so much food would cause diarrhea and other phenomena.

On the second day, a reporter asked this question, and Wang Li felt very 'embarrassed' after hearing it, and he said bluntly: "I usually eat a little more"

Then, fans said that they knew the secret of Wang Li's outstanding performance, because he ate more than other players.

“”

Of course, this is just a pre-match farce, in fact, both teams were training closely the day before the game, and they took the time to adapt to the venue and worked hard for the team's victory.

The players are in training and everything is done according to the club's requirements, they have very little personal space and not many opportunities to be interviewed.

For the time before the game, Carlo's requirement is that the players must all follow the team, whether it is eating, sleeping, etc., even down to the minute, before the game, the team must pay attention to every detail, and there can be no mistakes.

Wang Li is also with everyone, eating nutritious meals provided by the club and doing the same training as his teammates, which he rarely did before. But now, he's the captain of the team and he has to lead by example.

However, Wang Lidao doesn't have much feeling about this, even if he is allowed to train by himself, he can't train anything in a day, but together with everyone, he can also increase the momentum of the team.

On the night before the start of the game, Wang Li even served as a patrol, at 10 o'clock, he went to each room to see if his teammates were sleeping, this is the task given to him by Carlo, Wang Li felt full of novelty for this job, he felt that if he could catch a certain team chatting, it would be interesting.

It's a pity that Real Madrid's teammates all seemed to follow the rules, and even though they couldn't sleep the day before the game, they still lay in bed and silently closed their eyes to rest.

In the face of this kind of competition, they have to keep themselves in the best shape!!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the next day has arrived.

This morning, Wang Li woke up from meditation very early, and then came to the first floor of the hotel, asked the team's nutritionist for some breakfast, and after a while, the other players also came out of the room one after another to have breakfast together.

The game was played in the evening, so they weren't in a hurry.

In the morning, Carlo arranged some simple training, mainly to train some passing and receiving with these practical things, so that the players can integrate into the game faster, and at noon, after lunch, they collectively returned to the hotel to rest, adjust their bodies to the best state, ready for the final battle.

At half past three in the afternoon, the players of Real Madrid walked out of the hotel one after another, and after gathering, they were ready to take the bus to the Stade de France in Paris.

As the bus walked, both sides of the street were filled with media reporters and fans, all kinds of cameras and cameras kept taking pictures, and the hotel where Real Madrid was staying was only 11 kilometers away from the Stade de France, but the 11 kilometers took an hour and a half.

When the Real Madrid bus drove into the stadium, less than two minutes later, the Lyon bus also drove into the stadium, at this time, media reporters began to do live commentary outside the stadium: "Audience friends, now that both teams have arrived at the stadium, this era showdown is finally about to begin, let's wait and see!! ”

The Stade de France is located in Saint-Saint-Francis in a small town north of Paris. Dennis.

At that time, at the time of the site of St. After Dennis, the French did not name the new stadium "Saint. Denis", and instead named it "the Stade de France". This is because of the "St. "Denis" is the name of an ancient martyr, and the use of "France" as the name of the new stadium not only symbolizes the spirit of the entire French nation, but also has a more modern flavor.

The stadium was built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup and was used as the venue for the 1998 FIFA World Cup final. On July 12, 1998, France won the World Cup for the first time at home by beating Brazil 3-0 in the World Cup final. After the completion of the stadium, it has been used as the home of the French national football team, including the World Cup qualifiers, the UEFA Nations Cup qualifiers and other events.

Compared with San Siro, Old Trafford, Bernabeu and Westphalia, which have experienced the vicissitudes of life, the Stade de France is really young, although it has experienced the baptism of major competitions such as the World Cup, the Confederations Cup, the European Champions Cup final, and the fame of the French team winning the World Cup, but its connotation, its undertone, and its history cannot be compared with the first four stadiums.

A set of data is enough to illustrate the youth of the French stadium; San Siro is 79, Old Trafford is 95, Bernabeu is 58, Westfalen is 31 and the Stade de France is only 8.

That said, the stadium is remarkable in terms of facilities and significance, and in just a few years it has become the most famous course in France.

And now, the 2006 Champions League final will also be played here.

Judging from the current scene, the fans in Paris are really crazy, in front of the Stade de France, is the Place de Santa Maria, this square has a long history and covers a wide area, but now such a pedestrian street square has been completely occupied by fans, and it is initially estimated that there are at least 100,000 fans in the square at this time.

This number is shocking enough, and many fans are even worried about the problem of entry, after all, when the stadium is open, there is a queue to enter, and it is not easy for many fans to crowd together to find a place in the queue.

Of course, most of these fans don't have tickets.

With only 80,000 seats, it is impossible to accommodate so many fans, and the reason why they come here is just to get close to the world's top football matches.

Of course, for French fans, cheering for Lyon is also one of the reasons.

It is worth mentioning that French fans are not like Italian, England, and Spanish fans who will not care about their own national teams, this is because the strength of the French football team is very strong, but the strength of the French league clubs is really not very good, and the French team enters the Champions League final, which is almost a rare thing to encounter once in ten years, so even the fans of Lyon's rival city still hope that Lyon can win the championship.

After all, no matter how famous Real Madrid's stars are, Lyon is a French team.

Fans aside, the two teams entered the stadium and changed their clothes in the locker room, and the two managers went to the press conference as soon as possible.

And this time, Wang Li also went with Carlo to participate. "With the game going on in a few hours, will there be some tension within the team?"

As soon as he arrived at the press conference, a reporter asked directly, and in the face of this question, Carlo said lightly: "The players in the team are all experienced and experienced players, and many of them are not participating in the Champions League final for the first time, so we have nothing to be nervous about, just an ordinary league game." ”

Hearing this, Wang Li, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but pout.

Carlo's words are right, but in fact he is the most nervous person, as a manager, and is the first season in charge of the top league, he encountered this kind of top matchup, saying that he is not nervous Carlo himself knows that it is a lie, but he knows that as a manager, he must remain calm in front of the media and fans, which is not only related to the morale of the team, but also related to the image of Real Madrid.

In the face of Carlo's composure, although the media were very dismissive, they still just sat back in their seats, and then the second media questioned: "Mr. Carlo, can you tell us what you expect from the result of the game?" ”

This is a French journalist, and he just wants to find out what Carlo has in mind to win.

If Wang Li were faced with this problem, he would definitely say "we will be the winners" and "100 percent, there is no doubt about it", but Carlo is much more 'gentleman', he said: "We are very confident in the competition, we have prepared everything before this trip to Paris. I believe in my players and I believe that I will be happy with the result. ”

This may be a kind of shirk, directly shifting the object of the reporter's questioning to the Real Madrid players, and Carlo emphasized that he 'believes in the players', so the confidence of the players is my expectation, as for how much confidence the players have? You can ask the players, I'm not going to answer anyway.

This kind of vague answer made the reporters around him not have much confidence in what would come out of Carlo's mouth.

On the other side, Lyon coach Houllier was also besieged by reporters, many of whom wanted to know what lineup and tactics Houllier would use to deal with Real Madrid.

For these questions, Houllier responded vaguely, in fact, he didn't do any special tactics at all, just wanted the team and Real Madrid to fight hard, but this can't be said to reporters face to face.

Both managers have this attitude, so that all the reporters have put their hopes on the only player in the hall, and that is, of course, Wang Li.

"Alan, can you tell us what it's like to be in Paris? Wouldn't you be a little excited to come to the Stade de France? What are your prospects for this game? As soon as the Paris Evening News reporter opened his mouth, he asked three questions directly.

"Prospects?"

Wang Li was stunned for a moment, reacted and smiled, nodded and said: "In the Champions League final, I don't think there will be any other prospects except for the championship." ”

"It's not my first time in Paris, I feel good about the city, the French are romantic, and there were fans who asked me for a few autographs before the game, and they didn't surround me, they just asked for autographs, and from that, I think the city of Paris is not bad."

When answering the question, Wang Li made a joke, and the audience smiled, before continuing: "I have never been to the Stade de France to play, I heard that this stadium has only been built for eight years, I don't have any special feelings, I just think that the facilities are very modern, well, let me think about it, the dressing room of this stadium feels very good." ”

Listening to Wang Li's words, the audience suddenly burst into laughter.

The reporters could see that the black-haired boy in front of him was not nervous at all before the game, and he behaved very casually, but the kind of confidence in his bones would still be unconsciously expressed, this inexplicable feeling made the French media tremble, but it made other media happy.

While the Spanish media is rejoicing, they are also a little disappointed, because the world's No. 1 player in front of him, although he is in Real Madrid, is an Englishman, after this Champions League final, he will belong to the England team, and the Spanish team can be said to be mortal enemies, this situation is really disappointing.

The lively press conference ended quickly, after which the players of both teams went to the stadium for warm-up training, and at 6 p.m., the two teams returned to the dressing room to make final preparations.

At this time, the managers of both teams have already got the opponent's starting squad - Lyon goalkeeper: Kupet; Defenders: Abidal, Kakapa, Chris, Riverile; Midfielders: Malouda, Juninho, Essane, Virtos; Forwards: Anderson, Govu; Real Madrid goalkeepers: Casillas; Defenders: Carlos, Ramos, Pavon, Ciciño; Midfielders: David Beckham; Baptista, Gravison; Forwards: Allen, Raul, Robinho; Referee: Vasalas (Germany)
