859 Psychological warfare
On May 19th, the whole Real Madrid team landed in Moscow!
Almost front and back, the whole Manchester United team also arrived in Moscow!
The arrival of two star-studded European giants in Moscow has ignited the city's football enthusiasm!
The streets are littered with well-divided fans wearing their own supportive jerseys.
The huge team of reporters is divided into two groups to spy on Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Real Madrid stayed at the hotel and the whole team began to recuperate.
The next day, Real Madrid went to Moscow for the 10th Champions League title in the club's history, so the club paid special attention to it, and the publicity and promotion work was cancelled in an effort to give the players a quiet and comfortable preparation environment.
The closed training continued into the afternoon, and Real Madrid turned to the final for a warm-up session.
A little later, a press conference was held before the Champions League final.
Speaking at the press conference, Bosque said: "Manchester United are a world-class team, they have been at the top of Europe for more than a decade, maybe a season or two is not satisfactory, but Manchester United can always get out of the slump and get back to the top very quickly, and this is inseparable from the fact that they have a great manager, Sir Alex Ferguson's coaching ability is admirable, and now he has a very strong squad, and I am looking forward to tomorrow night's game, Real Madrid and Manchester United meet. I can always give wonderful and classic games to the fans of the world, and tomorrow should be like that.
Real Madrid, who have won the Champions League nine times, have been looking forward to their tenth Champions League title for a long time, but I don't want that expectation to turn into pressure on the team, and I am confident that our lads will be able to adjust their mentality well. We've been outstanding this season. The whole team wants the best result in the final game of the season.
In that case. This season has been nothing short of perfect. ”
Reporters in the audience asked Bosque: "Real Madrid star Qin Xiong seems to have become more reticent recently, has he become depressed because of the disaster in China, and will this affect his performance tomorrow night?" ”
Bosque shook his head and said: "Of course not, Qin Xiong is a highly professional player, he knows what he should do, what you see Qin Xiong is a normal person, if you put yourself in their shoes, think about it." If it were you, shouldn't it be like this at this time? Of course he's sad, but I'm sure he's going to be 100 per cent in the game, he's always had high expectations and he's never let people down. ”
'Tomorrow night's game against Manchester United, did Real Madrid worry about anything? For example, which player in the Manchester United squad is a threat that should not be ignored? ”
Bosque smiled and said: "All the players at Manchester United cannot be ignored, and if anyone is ignored, it is a low-level mistake that cannot be forgiven and tolerated. It's not an exaggeration to call it childish.
But who is the biggest threat? I think Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney. Carlos Tevez and Paul Scholes have the ability to decide the game on their own, so tomorrow night is going to be tough, but I'm sure Real Madrid are ready for it. ”
When Ferguson attended the pre-match press conference, he likewise complimented Bosque.
"Bosque has been indebted to the fact that Real Madrid has become one of the most high-profile teams in Europe in a short period of time, his achievements are enviable, and if I had been told that Real Madrid would not lose a single game in a long season, I would have laughed it off and would never have believed it.
But Bosque did, and the only one with a chance to end Real Madrid's unbeaten run in all competitions all season was Manchester United.
Tomorrow night is sure to be a great game! ”
A Spanish reporter asked maliciously: "Will Manchester United sell Ronaldo to Real Madrid after the season?" The Real Madrid hierarchy has always been obsessed with Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ronaldo seems to be obsessed with the Bernabeu. ”
Ferguson's expression remained the same, but there was already some anger in his heart.
He had hoped for a peaceful final, but now it seems that he will have to come up with some psychological warfare tactics that are commonplace in Britain.
'Cristiano is happy at Manchester United and he's not going anywhere.'
After answering the reporter's question simply and clearly, Ferguson appeared light-hearted.
When the reporter asked: "Real Madrid's offensive firepower has attracted the attention of the entire European football world, but Manchester United's defense is also the strongest defense in Europe this season. ”
Ferguson was immediately interested.
Finally got to the point.
"Real Madrid's attack is indeed very strong, but if Manchester United has anything to fear, then there is only one player, and that is Qin Xiong.
In my opinion, the most important reason why Real Madrid's attack is so strong is that there is Qin Xiong.
If Real Madrid doesn't have Qin Xiong, sorry, it's not disrespectful to the other players of Real Madrid, but I don't think Real Madrid can achieve such brilliant results, tomorrow night against Manchester United will probably be AC Milan, or Liverpool, or Arsenal, sorry, 99% will not be Real Madrid.
It is an indisputable fact that Qin Xiong has made Real Madrid's attack unique, so it should be said that Manchester United will only worry about Qin Xiong's form and whether his on-the-spot performance will surprise us rather than whether Manchester United will be afraid of Real Madrid's attack. ”
Many Spanish reporters in the audience secretly cursed in their hearts: Old fox!
Ferguson's words were clearly meant for the Real Madrid players.
I want to tell the arrogant Real Madrid generals.
The greatest contribution to your team's achievements is Qin Xiong.
And without Qin Xiong, you will achieve nothing!
Ferguson put the discord meter on the table.
Just imagine, tomorrow is the Champions League final, if there are Real Madrid players who want to prove that they are more important than Qin Xiong, then insisting on playing individual performances may bury Real Madrid's tacit and mature attack group system.
Such a situation would benefit Manchester United.
But Ferguson probably only knows Qin Xiong on the field, but not Qin Xiong in life and training.
Qin Xiong, who has always been humble and gentle in getting along with others, has already won the respect of his teammates.
The Real Madrid team is not going to be unhappy because of the few words of outsiders.
While Ferguson's discord will not have much effect, it may have been prescient that his words today did become a seed that would take root in the hearts of many Real Madrid players in the near future. (To be continued.) )
