A qiē step by step.
It's true for the team, it's true for the fans.
Some of the fans who bought tickets for the two teams even arrived in Madrid yesterday, and the fans who did not buy tickets, except for a few who did not give up hoping that someone would refund the tickets temporarily, but more of them were still resigned to their fate and could only watch the game on the big screen at home or in bars and other places.
At seven o'clock in the evening, two and a half hours before the official start of the game, fans have already appeared near the Calderón stadium, but more security personnel, for this final, the Madrid city government sent hundreds of police and security guards, as well as dozens of medical personnel to prevent accidents, at the same time, Madrid 5 subway increased the number of trains, from 19 o'clock, almost every 5 minutes there will be a bus to the station near the stadium, in order to avoid chaos and fans stranded outside the stadium, The police also helped maintain order at the subway entrance, while the driveway next to the Calderón stadium was blocked early, while surveillance cameras were deployed to keep an eye on the movement of fans.
In fact, the city government's rivalry is not entirely due to the fear of any vicious incidents between the fans of the two teams, Malaga and Barcelona have no grievances in history, although the fans of the two teams are not very friendly, but they are not hostile, so even if this game smells of gunpowder, it will only be inside the stadium than outside the stadium. The main reason for the city government to do this is that Prince Philip of the Spanish royal family will be present to watch the game.
In addition to the police, the media was also one of the protagonists, and reporters speaking different languages finally stood outside Calderon Stadium and began to talk to the cameras about the Copa del Rey final that will be played in the evening, with Calderon Stadium as the backdrop.
An hour later, a large number of fans began to arrive at the stadium one after another, and the vicinity of Calderón Stadium, which had been a little cold because of the appearance of the police, suddenly became lively, and the fans of the two teams waving flags, wearing scarves, and singing the team song were as happy as if they were celebrating a festival. Even when the fans of the two teams meet, most of them do not interfere with the well water, and some are more friendly, and they will even take a group photo together.
At 8:40 p.m., the bus from Malaga arrived at the Calderón Stadium first, and the crowd of fans and reporters had long been separated by the security guards with a fence, and the first to get off the bus was Gabi, and the Spaniard, who like Coke, regarded Calderón as his football mecca, could not see any expression on his face, only showed a smile when the fans greeted him, followed by Gamèz, Apono ......
As the head coach, Lin Sen was the last person to get out of the car, and his expression was calm in sportswear that was no different from that of the players, and there seemed to be no tension on his face.
Less than ten minutes after the arrival of the bus in Malaga, the Barcelona bus also arrived at the scene, unlike the players in Malaga, the Barcelona players after getting off the bus looked unusually relaxed, facing the cheers of the fans and the cameras of the media, frequently smiling and waving, while Guardiola seemed to be discussing something with his deputy Vilanova after getting off the bus, and did not even raise his eyes......
--------------
The time came to nine o'clock in the evening.
Calderón, which opened the stadium to fans more than an hour early, was already packed.
Mrs. Cruz knew that the Rose Garden Stadium, Malaga's home stadium, was not the largest in Spain, but she always thought that no matter how big the stadium was, there were only more people, but today, she saw a completely different atmosphere from the Rose Garden.
Mrs. Cruz is located in the south stand of the stadium, in the middle of the position, the position should be said to be just right, not far enough to use binoculars, but not so close that you have to watch out for the "anti-aircraft guns" of the stadium at all times......
Just when Mrs. Cruz Sr. was shocked by the "masterpiece" of the stands opposite, she suddenly felt that her vision seemed to darken all of a sudden, as if a dark cloud had just drifted over the stadium to cover the stands, however, when she looked up, she suddenly found that it was not a cloud that covered her vision, but a huge curtain, a curtain that was still stretching out in front of her eyes......
Then, in the eyes of the Barcelona fans in the North Stand, a huge blue and white jersey appeared in front of their eyes.
The north and south stands echo each other.
Compared with the clear-cut north and south stands, the east and west stands are undoubtedly much more mixed.
"The final is the final, it's a good atmosphere." Looking at the enthusiastic actions of the fans on both sides of the stands, Jimmy, who had not seen such a scene in this stadium for a long time, sighed heartily.
Next to him, Barr, who finally came to the court, sat with his arms crossed his chest, and only snorted coldly when he heard the words, but did not speak.
In the VIP box above them, two young and delicate faces were looking down at the stadium with curious eyes.
That's Ariel and Cinderella.
After Boya brought the two into the box, she quickly left to accompany her second aunt, that is, Princess Victoria, and directly left the two of them aside, but this did not hinder the interest of the two who entered the box for the first time to watch the game, and the two were like curious babies, looking east and west, and then quickly came to a conclusion: this is not watching the game at all.
Watching the game live is nothing more than an atmosphere, but the box obviously excludes this most important factor, and it is like watching a live broadcast. Compared to the last time the trio watched a game at Calderón, it is undoubtedly more comfortable now, but it is much less atmospheric than before. Fortunately, the two of them are not even amateur fans, and the atmosphere of watching the game is of no importance to them at all.
"Ariel, are you really going to work for Lin?" After the initial freshness, Cinderella asked casually as she looked down with her binoculars.
"Of course. I even signed up for the training course. Ariel also replied casually, "When I graduate this year, I will report to Lin." ”
"He promised you?" Cinderella asked, lowering her binoculars and widening her eyes.
"Nope." Ariel waved her hand and said, "But he didn't object, I think it's okay." ”
"What do you think?"
"Of course." Ariel turned her head and smiled, "Don't forget, we all studied psychology, and I believe the reason why he didn't say yes was just because he wasn't sure if I could do it." ”
“……”
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass your little **." Alia laughed and said, "If he doesn't want me, there will be more teams." ”
"No kidding. Ariel. Seeing that Ariel was not serious again, Cinderella said helplessly, "It's just that if you and Boya leave like this, I will be the only one left in the future." ”
"Don't worry, Malaga isn't very far from Madrid, and I'll be back to see you often."
……
In the box next door, Boya met two unexpected people, Lin Sen's parents.
After seeing Boya, Lin Sen's mother greeted her warmly, while Lin Sen's father just smiled and nodded to her, and then, Boya sat quietly next to her, just like the last time she visited the embassy, listening to the other elders present, only when they paused, they glanced at the Calderon Stadium outside the window with the corner of their eyes.
Before the game started, Calderón was already a sea of fans, and the players of both teams were already warming up in the stadium.
Boya thought of Lin Sen, who must be below at this time, and suddenly felt a little envious in his heart.
----------------
Lin Sen did appear on the sidelines.
With less than half an hour to go before the start of the game and the start of the game already announced in the dressing room, he confirmed for the last time that his selection was not wrong.
At this time, the eleven starters who were warming up on the field were all covered with a rich green that represented excitement, although Lin Sen actually wanted to see a calm cyan, but in this case, it was obvious that he could not force more, because this was his first final, and it was also the first final of all the Malaga players who were about to start.
Absolute calmness is impossible.
Compared with the players in Malaga, the Barcelona players who warmed up on the other side were significantly calmer, at least in Linsen's eyes, there were five of them in the team, close to half of the team.
Xavi, Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o, Puyol and Messi.
All five are glowing players.
Messi's ability to squeeze into the "blue list" actually surprised Lin Sen, you must know that the first four people said that they have experienced a hundred battles, and it is not surprising that they can remain calm at this time, but Messi, who was still pressed by Xiao Luo last season, can also maintain such calm at this time, which makes Lin Sen a little depressed.
After half an hour of warm-up, the two teams left the pitch and entered the dressing room.
Lin Sen, who entered the locker room early to wait, watched his team members walk in front of his eyes one by one, and only when all the players arrived did he stretch out his hands and clap his hands vigorously.
Suddenly a pin drop could be heard in the locker room.
All the players held their breath and looked at their head coach, and then, they saw Lin Sen's mouth move, but he didn't make a sound, as if he wanted to stop talking, but just a moment later, Lin Sen's familiar voice sounded in the locker room.
I have said what I should have said.
You have done what you should have done.
Now, go to battle. Regardless of the final outcome of this match, I'm very proud of you.
