Volume 1 Chapter 536 Defending the Title

"Congratulations to all the fans in front of the TV, you have witnessed the birth of a big team"

"That's Tottenham Hotspur"

The words of the on-site commentator were broadcast live and reached the fans of all the countries in the world that used English to explain the game, but he did not seem to be at all excited, but seemed calm.

For Tottenham Hotspur to beat Barcelona, in fact, from the first half of the three minutes scored two goals, everyone knows that Tottenham Hotspur is going to win, and in fact, throughout the second half, Barcelona can only passively defend, although there have been one or two very threatening counterattacks, but on the whole, it is difficult to shake Tottenham Hotspur's advantage.

"It's not a game that all the fans expected before the game, because it's the Champions League final, a crucial one, a final with billions of euros at stake, just like all the finals in football in the past, we can't expect it to be good and exciting, that's unrealistic"

Before the game, quite a few fans thought that it would be a wonderful game that represented the highest level of football today, but in fact, this game was basically lost after Tottenham Hotspur scored two goals in the first half, and then Barcelona was not strong enough, Tottenham Hotspur was not aggressive, and the game almost became garbage time.

"A lot of fans in front of the TV will probably be disappointed because they didn't see the flood of attacks, the great battles, the dazzling number of goals, but I would say that's football"

"Football has never been basketball or other sports, and in my opinion, this game, although it lacked passion and was a bit unstable, also contained a classic scene, that is, in the first half, especially in the first 30 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur's whole tactical layout, and the ability to control the game, reflected the charm of football"

"Ye Qiu didn't rush to attack at the beginning, nor did he defend steadily, but let Barcelona make the first move, so Guardiola attacked, Tottenham Hotspur resisted, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, the two sides went back and forth, although the fight was not very intense, but it was very suspenseful, and it made people nervous for them, because all of us, including the fans in front of the TV, were waiting for the goal to come."

"But we can never guess when the goal will come"

"So, all of a sudden, Alves picked up speed with the ball on the right and rushed through the Barcelona defence, Van Persie stopped the ball and assisted Ribery to score, and the whole process was very short, as if it was done in an instant, and maybe even some fans diverted their attention to take a bite of supper, and it was already over."

"It's football, it's never what you're going to know, you're never going to know what it's all about"

"But throughout the first half, I felt that I never got out of Tottenham Hotspur's control and Ye Qiu's design, so we saw that after Tottenham Hotspur scored, Ye Qiu changed his previous steady tactics and boldly asked everyone to press up and attack, so we saw the fastest and most charming three minutes."

'In those three minutes, Tottenham Hotspur showed their best attacking power and took advantage of Barcelona's lack of foothold after conceding a goal to score again.

"Perhaps, if we want to complain, we can only complain that Tottenham Hotspur's attack is too strong, because if the second goal comes later, then Tottenham Hotspur's offensive football will last a little longer, but because the second goal was scored quickly, Ye Qiu rationally adopted a safe tactic, but even so, they still pressed Barcelona in the second half, reflecting the comprehensive strength of their European team.

"It's not a great matchup, but it's a good game"

In fact, in the second half, UEFA President Michel Platini had already stepped off the rostrum early, walked on the sidelines early and waited, because there was no suspense at all, Barcelona was difficult to threaten Tottenham Hotspur's goal, is it possible to expect them to be able to reverse Tottenham Hotspur at the last moment like Manchester United in 99?

A miracle is a miracle because it can only happen once, and it can never happen again

"Congratulations, Ye Qiu" Platini walked towards Ye Qiu with a smile after the match.

Behind him are the top brass of UEFA, as well as the top of the opposing clubs, as well as some football legends such as Cruyff, Beckenbauer and others, who are all part of Platini's team, and they will all be on the podium later, only now they are all waiting on the sidelines for the awards

"Xie Lu Xie" Ye Qiu stretched out his hand and shook it with Platini, he never worried about this game from beginning to end, it can be said that there was no danger, and the reason for this result, he really didn't expect it.

Of course, he's not saying it's bad to have no surprises, as the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, of course he wants his team to beat their opponents without any dangers, rather than a Luzhniki miracle every game, right?

But Barcelona did not show their due strength in this game, which is also Ye Qiu's feeling

A rather important reason is that Guardiola is so tender.

Looking at this season, Barcelona can win the championship in La Liga and the Copa del Rey, which can only be said that Real Madrid itself is too uncompetitive, and in the Champions League, Barcelona has indeed not encountered a strong opponent, Lyon and Bayern Munich, the current overall strength is not far from the top in Europe, Barcelona has won very steadily, but has not won much advantage.

The two games against Chelsea were 0 I and were also unconvincing, especially away to Chelsea, Barcelona had been behind for a long time, but at the very least, Andres Iniesta's shot broke through the Chelsea goal and finally saved Barcelona.

It can be said that Barcelona's promotion process is full of luck and luck, of course, this is not to say that Barcelona has no strength, but that their strength is not enough to support them to the Champions League, at least in Ye Qiu's view, if you want to talk about the overall strength, Ferguson's Manchester United and Hiddink's Chelsea are more qualified than Barcelona to enter the final.

On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur also had luck in this season's Champions League, meeting Bayern Munich in the group stage, the team played smoothly, and in the knockout round, first met Real Madrid, who had a poor defense, and then met Sporting Lisbon, the weakest in the quarterfinals.

After playing Manchester United, these are the two most valuable games, especially the away game against Old Trafford, Ye Qiu feels that that battle is even a key game for Tottenham Hotspur to win the championship this season, more critical than the final against Barcelona, and he sacrificed a league game for this.

"It's really worthy of being the king of the cup" Cruyff also walked in front of Ye Qiu with a smile, and took the initiative to extend his hand to celebrate Ye Qiu leading Tottenham Hotspur to win the championship again.

Ye Qiu also smiled and shook Cruyff's hand, "Thank you and Barcelona for the gift you gave me before the game, since I received that gift, I have been thinking about how to repay you, so, how are you feeling now?" Is it okay? Satisfied? ”

Of course, Cruyff knew what Ye Qiu meant, and smiled a little stiffly, he did not object to Bacchi's private meeting with Jorge Messi, but what he didn't like was the practice of some people in Barcelona who actually revealed such a secret meeting to reporters in private and announced it to the public, which is obviously a lack of grace.

Although Cruyff did not instruct such an act, he couldn't refute some of Ye Qiu's words, because to a certain extent, many people knew that Cruyff was like the emperor of Barcelona.

"Anyway, congratulations," Cruyff felt, and if he didn't take the initiative, he might lose a friend.

He doesn't have many friends, especially friends who can be looked down on by him, even Laporta, Guardiola and others are difficult to be his friends, but Ye Qiu is one of the few friends he can look down on, and he has a good relationship with him, and the relationship between the two has started since Ajax.

Sometimes Cruyff looks back and thinks that things in the world are really elusive, if he could hold on a little more and put more pressure on Laporta, then I believe that Ye Qiu should be the head coach of Barcelona.

But if that's really the case, will there still be the current Ye Qiu?

"Xie Lu Xie" Ye Qiu was a little surprised, and he began to faintly realize that maybe although Bucky was Cruyff's most trusted assistant, what he did might not be clear to Cruyff, or he didn't support it

"When you have time to come to London, I invite you to drink" Ye Qiu added with a smile casually, "Ferguson's wine can't be bought outside" This can be regarded as a release of his kindness to Cruyff.

When Cruyff heard this, he laughed, "That old fellow's wine, I have to taste it when I have time."

In the home team's coach's bench not far away, Guardiola had a calm face, and through the translucent side of the coach's bench, he saw Ye Qiu, who was proud of the spring breeze, and saw Ye Qiu receiving congratulations from more and more people, many of whom are still UEFA bigwigs.

Although in the past period, many people have speculated that a key reason why Tottenham Hotspur can perform so well is that Ye Qiu has a very good relationship with UEFA bigwigs such as Platini, and Ye Qiu's sports service company has a lot of business with UEFA and even other countries' football associations.

But everyone also can't deny that Tottenham Hotspur has indeed shown a quality that is a cut above others on the pitch.

"Look at the chairman," Vilanova, who was sitting next to Guardiola, pointed not far away.

I saw that the president of Barcelona was congratulating and talking to Fabregas, Messi, David Silva, Ribery, Van Persie and other players in the stadium, and among these people, Fabregas, Messi, Alves, David Silva and Van Persie are all Barcelona's coveted targets, just to get one of them, Barcelona have to make a big blood.

"It's not bad to lose the Champions League and poach a few of his stars to relieve his hatred," Vilanova said with a smile.

This strategy of digging you to death if I can't beat you is not uncommon in the history of football, most notably Silvio Berlusconi's AC Milan, Real Madrid's Mendoza in the 90s, and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

The assistant's words, Guardiola also couldn't help laughing, stood up, sighed deeply, "Let's go, this belongs to the winner, we still have to avoid avoiding" After speaking, Guardiola walked to the player's tunnel.

Just as he was about to walk in, he found that a small figure suddenly rushed out of it, because he was running too fast, he didn't pay attention, and crashed directly into Guardiola's arms.

"Oh" Guardiola was fine, but the little girl hit the whole person and sat down on the ground.

At first glance, Guardiola is a little girl with black hair and yellow skin, who looks very cute, especially with two small braids, rubbing her white jade-like nose, and the corners of her mouth slightly pouted because of the pain.

"You're fine, are you?" Pep Guardiola leaned in and pulled her up with a smile.

"Huh?" The little girl obviously didn't understand, was he speaking English?

"You're fine, are you?" Pep Guardiola said it slowly, one more very simple.

This time she understood, shook her head and said: "It's okay, it's good, next time you walk carefully, don't be so rampage" looks like a little adult teaching a lesson, as if she was running too fast because she was wrong just now, right?

Pep Guardiola and Vilanova couldn't help but laugh when they looked at her swagger.

The little girl also seemed to know that she was wrong, and she was blushing from laughing, which added a little cuteness.

Just then, "Sister", another child ran out of the elevator of the stadium.

The two little ghosts stood together, their appearance was rare and somewhat similar, especially the little boy, the whole silhouette was very similar to Ye Qiu, but he looked more handsome than Ye Qiu, and his appearance was more delicate.

"Sister, what's the matter?" The little boy walked over and stood beside his sister, staring at the two adults with a little wariness.

"It's okay, I was knocked down by two fools," Xiao Huang Rong said angrily to his younger brother Ye Chen in Chinese.

"Oh" Ye Chen heard that there was nothing to do, "Let's go, sister, let's go to Dad, I finally sneaked down"

Two little kids, one four years old and one less than three years old, holding their little hands, ran towards the passage of the court

"These two children should be Ye Qiu's children, right?" Guardiola thinks that these two pink children are very cute, and their skin and hair color are very similar to Ye Qiu.

"It should be," Bilanova thought.

If they knew that Xiao Huang Rong called them fools just now, I don't know if they would think these two little ghosts were cute, maybe they would be so angry that they wanted to blow up their lungs now.

On the contrary, it was Ye Qiu, who was talking to the coaching staff in the stadium, and suddenly his leg was hugged, and when he looked down, he found that his son Ye Chen didn't know when he ran down, but Xiao Huang Rong was hiding behind Uncle Roland, the fat man, and made a grimace.

The sound at the scene was too noisy, it is estimated that he was shouting, but he didn't hear it.

Ye Qiu picked up his son, but this kid reached out and grabbed his face, just like Ye Qiu every time he went home, he liked to tease his father like this, and Xiao Huang Rong saw that his father was not angry, and he also ran out to be coquettish, and Ye Qiu put Ye Chen around his neck, let him grab his head, and picked up Xiao Huang Rong again, and then walked to the stands.

It wasn't until they saw the three of them appear that Huang Chu and Eliza Moon and others in the stands found out that these two little naughty ghosts didn't know when they ran into the stadium, which was really angry and funny, and the anger was that they were too messy, there were so many people, what should I do if I lose them? Laughingly, these two imps don't seem to be too stupid

During many of the team's dinners, Ye Qiu will bring his wife and two children to attend, so the players are no strangers to these two little ghosts, especially Huang Rong, who is a big ghost, this little girl can speak well with that mouth, English, Chinese, and French are all super slippery, of which English is learned in London, Chinese is learned at home, and French is learned from Eliza.

Of course, you are only proficient in speaking and communication, but you are definitely not good at reading and writing.

But this did not hinder her popularity among the players, and she was soon snatched away from Ye Qiu's arms by Ribery, playing with the court on the court, and soon even Ye Chen rushed up, because when he saw his sister playing, he couldn't be idle.

On weekdays, Ye Qiu hid his family, especially the two children, as if they were liver babies, for fear that the media would harass and pay attention to them, but now they appeared in the stadium so openly, and the group of reporters was not ready to take a quick shot, so the two children became the most eye-catching characters on the court.

When Tottenham Hotspur celebrated the team's defense of the Champions League, the organizing committee quickly completed the podium, and it didn't take long for Barcelona to change their clothes and return to the pitch one by one, obviously coming out of the pain of losing and taking turns to congratulate Tottenham Hotspur on defending their title.

At present, there are also many former players in the Barcelona team, or Tottenham Hotspur's veterans, although they all lost the game, they are also high for Tottenham Hotspur's performance and achievements today

When Guardiola saw Ye Qiu, he first praised his two children, and then issued a challenge, he firmly believed that he would be able to appear on the stage of the Champions League final again next year, because just now in front of the dressing room, Laporta has personally promised him that in the transfer of this summer, Barcelona will spend a lot of money to bring in reinforcements, and must make up for this shortcoming and deficiency in the team's offensive system.

With this commitment from the president of the club, coupled with the operation of Barcelona in the past period, Guardiola is full of confidence in this, and Ye Qiu did not show the slightest weakness, and directly smiled and said that any opponent is welcome to challenge

But what he didn't expect was that behind Guardiola's words, Barcelona had already poked their poaching tentacles into Tottenham Hotspur's pockets.
