The time for the game is getting closer.

In Glasgow, Scotland, the number of fans is increasing these days. The Glasgow police are very nervous.

Although Real Madrid and Blackburn Rovers fans have no bad records. Of course, this also has to do with history.

As everyone knows, Real Madrid fans are proud. Real Madrid is an aristocratic team, and Real Madrid fans consider themselves aristocratic. They don't bother to do football hooliganism. It's rare for them to go away or in an important final like this, and it's rare for them to be humiliated.

Even when they face Blackburn fans, they will look down on them. They naturally think that they are superior.

That's why they don't bother to deal with you country fans.

Therefore, although Real Madrid has many opponents, Real Madrid fans rarely have scandals.

And Blackburn fans don't have a bad record either. It's not because Blackburn Rovers fans are gentlemen. If in the 80s, when football hooligans were rampant in England, if Blackburn Rovers had good results, then Blackburn Rovers would have a lot of football hooligans as well.

Lancashire is a city because of the rise of the Industrial Revolution in England. But it's not just this, there are even more sinful origins.

The English city that benefited most from the slave trade in England was Liverpool. Liverpool became a big city through the slave trade. When it comes to the slave trade in England, Liverpool cannot be bypassed.

And Lancashire, which is not far from Liverpool, also gained some benefits at that time. And Blackburn, as Lancashire, also received some concessions.

So racial discrimination is not prevalent in Blackburn, but it is not uncommon. And Blackburn is not only black, but also Asian-descendants. Historically, Blackburn Rovers has plenty of rogue soil for football.

If it weren't for the later crackdown on racism and football hooliganism in English football, Blackburn Rovers would definitely have a lot of football hooligans running rampant now. But it was precisely because Blackburn had such poor results that year. There is simply no chance to show the world their football rogue culture.

Fortunately, the blows in English football in recent years have been very effective.

Even West Ham United and Millwall, where English football hooligans are the most active, their fans are much more honest. As a result, Blackburn Rovers fans are not well-known in world football.

Although neither fan has a bad record, the Glasgow police dare not relax at all. If there is any tragedy, then they will be disgraced and thrown to their grandmother's house.

Not only are there fans pouring in, but there are also more and more journalists from all over the world.

This is the Champions League final.

When George played the League Cup final, there were more than 300 reporters on the scene. And the Champions League final, which is the highest honor in European football, has doubled the number of reporters.

Although the World Cup is about to be played, the attention of the Champions League final is no less than that of the World Cup.

When the various media arrived in Glasgow, except for those who set up their media positions in the stadium, the other reporters were frantically looking for information. They started interviewing two teams, and two teams' supporters.

Of course, at this time, various football celebrities also came out to express their opinions.

However, on the whole, there are more voices in favor of Real Madrid. It's not because these football legends like Real Madrid.

It's the same at all times. The gun was the first birdie, and Real Madrid have been very good in recent seasons. They have won the Champions League twice in the last five years and reached the final of the Champions League this season. So there are a lot of people who don't like Real Madrid.

And after Florentino became the owner of Real Madrid, Real Madrid was even more arrogant. As a result, many people were offended.

But Real Madrid can still get so much support, all because Real Madrid's strength has been unanimously affirmed by people.

Even when those reporters interviewed George, they talked about Real Madrid. This made George really feel the influence of Real Madrid. Damn, in this way, he is also the youngest club manager in the Champions League final.

These journalists are so disrespectful of themselves.

In the end, unable to bear it, George coldly rejected the reporters. In the face of the triumphant reporter who showed Real Madrid's eight big ears cup, George replied viciously: "Real Madrid only has three Champions League in my opinion." The first five consecutive Champions League titles, that is embarrassed to show off. At that time, the Champions League was not as valuable as our League Cup in England. ”

George wasn't a good guy in the first place. I finally became an ostrich this time, but I didn't expect these Spanish reporters to be so arrogant and indifferent to themselves.

So George was also very angry. Of course, the words that come out are not good.

Hearing George's words, there was no overreaction on the Real Madrid side.

It's just that the captain of Real Madrid, Hierro, replied with a smile to reporters: "I heard that Blackburn Rovers has entered the Champions League final for the first time." ”

A simple sentence left Blackburn speechless.

Real Madrid and Blackburn Rovers are one in the sky and one in the ground.

In the midst of such noise, time flies.

In a flash, it was May 16th.

Hampton Park was already full of fans. Real Madrid fans, needless to say, it was the white squad. Blackburn, on the other hand, have a blue line-up.

This time to Hampton Park to play the Champions League final, it can be said that it hurt the fans of both sides.

Because this is the Champions League final, there are a lot of fans interested in the game. Not to mention Real Madrid, even the number of fans on Blackburn's side who want to buy tickets to watch the game has reached more than 40,000. Needless to say, there are more than 50,000 fans who want tickets for Real Madrid.

Unfortunately, Hampton Park can only accommodate about 52,000 people.

And some tickets will be reserved for neutral fans and some other team guests. As a result, Blackburn Rovers and Real Madrid were only able to get 40,000 tickets in the end. This was the result of the desperate efforts of both sides, otherwise UEFA would have been willing to offer 35,000 tickets at the time.

Both sides received 20,000 tickets each.

Before the game even started, fans from both sides began to cheer for their teams.

By this time George had already begun the final mobilization in the locker room.

"At this point, I don't want to say anything more. Suffice it to say that in a final, after many years, people only remember who the winner was, never who the runner-up was! ”

"Don't talk about the Champions League final more than ten or twenty years ago, even the Champions League final a few years ago. We can know who the Champions League winners are, but can any of you say who is the runner-up in every Champions League final? Anyway, I can't, I only remember the champion, who will remember the runner-up! ”

"So tell you. The runner-up is the loser! ”

"Are you going to be a loser and be ridiculed?"

"Nope! No! "All the players shook their heads hard.

George watched the pride of the players under him, and it took him seven years to finally reach the highest stage such as the Champions League final.

"Our opponent is Real Madrid, who have eight Big Ears Cups." George exaggerated the shouting of "Eight Big Ear Cups". Then he continued: "Are you afraid? ”

Sagnol stepped forward.

"Head, you don't have to provoke us. What about Real Madrid, it's not like we haven't beaten Real Madrid. ”

Other players also echoed Sagnol. "Yes, head. It's not Real Madrid. ”

"We are Blackburn."

"Eight big-eared cups, and that's because they didn't touch us."

Looking at the players whose answers were getting more and more outrageous, George laughed. Yes, exactly. As a dark horse, of course, compared to giants such as Real Madrid, Blackburn's entry into the Champions League final is indeed a dark horse.

What is the most important thing as a dark horse? It's about maintaining that fearless attitude.

Once a dark horse is unbalanced and afraid of the opponent, then it is impossible for the dark horse to continue to magical.

Therefore, the dark horse should be fearless.

"Okay, then let's tell Real Madrid. If you want a ninth cup with big ears, you'll have to ask us. ”

George did the final mobilization, and so did Bosque.

………… In the Champions League final, there are a lot of activities before the start of the competition.

But George waited patiently, and none of the fans found it cumbersome.

At this time, the Real Madrid and Blackburn executives also began to take their seats.

"Hello, Mr. Perez."

"Hello, Mr. Walker."

Although Florentino was very gentlemanly and Paulo. Walker and Williams say hello. But Paul. Walker still has some grievances, and even Williams is a little unhappy.

Because of Florentino's tone, although on the surface it seems nothing. But that demeanor was condescending.

Probably Florentino looks at Paul. Walker and Williams are gangsters looking at some juniors. Florentino is the president of Real Madrid, the world's No. 1 giant, while Paulo Fernando is the president. Walker and Williams are nothing more than owners and presidents of a small club.

Williams is experienced, or has been in the mall for so many years, without showing the slightest dissatisfaction.

But Paul. Walker is still young. This dissatisfaction was immediately evident on the face. Florentino shook his head secretly in his heart, this young boss is not hot enough. Florentino is an old fox, and even if he really looks down on you, he won't let you see it.

It was just deliberate. Florentino was very curious about the rise of Blackburn, so he gave it a brief try and found that Williams was quiet and Blackburn's boss was a little uneasy.

When all the activities were over, everyone was waiting for the referee's whistle.

"Hello everyone, this is the Champions League final of the 01-02 season. The match was played at Hampton Park in Scotland. The match was played by Real Madrid from Spain and Blackburn Rovers from England. ”

"Real Madrid have won the Champions League eight times so far and are deserving winners."

Blackburn Rovers are in the Champions League final for the first time. It is the biggest dark horse in the Champions League this season. ”

"One is the king, the other is the dark horse. It remains to be seen who will win in the end. ”
