The war of words was not over, and Liverpool left Liverpool on Monday morning for Athens to prepare for the Champions League final against old rivals AC Milan.

Before Liverpool arrived in Athens, the police in Athens became nervous.

English football hooligans are famous all over the world, and among British football hooligans, Liverpool fans are clearly the best of football hooligans, and two tragedies in football history are related to Liverpool.

In 1985, Liverpool reached the final of the European Champions Cup. The match was played at the Heysel Stadium against Juventus. Before the start of the game, Liverpool fans broke the fence used to separate fans from both sides and provoked Juventus fans. The weight of the clashes eventually led to the collapse of the wall, killing 39 fans, most of them Italians. In the following game, both players had no intention of fighting, and in the end Liverpool lost 0l to Juventus. As a result, England's team was banned from European competitions for five years, Liverpool was banned for 10 years, which was later changed to Year U, and 14 Liverpool fans were accused of manslaughter.

Hillsborough tragedy: On April 15, 1989, in an FA Cup semi-final match against Nottingham Forest football team, after the start of the game, 50uu Liverpool fans were still unable to enter, and the police officer opened the gate but did not give the necessary guidance, causing 50uu people to rush to the same stand, and the crowding caused Yan zhòng stampede casualties, 96 people were killed, more than 0 were injured, 94 fans died on the spot on the same day, o Four days later, the 95th fan died of his injuries in the hospital, The 96th fan died after 4 years.

Now that it's the Champions League final again, and the two sides in the final are Liverpool and Italy, it's strange that the police in Athens aren't nervous.

This year's Liverpool is better than two years ago, they won the league title, the state is in full swing, in order to watch Liverpool in Athens, almost 50,000 Red Army fans came to Athens, Milan also has 30,000 fans, a total of more than 80,000 people, but at present only 50,000 or 60,000 fans have tickets for this game, and the remaining 20,000 or 30,000 fans without tickets are basically in a state of disorganization and management, and the Athens police are worried that they will make trouble.

In order to prevent fan disturbances, the Athens City Police decided to take measures to separate the fans of the two teams from the moment they arrived in Athens. Liverpool fans will be arranged to travel to the stadium by bus, while AC Milan fans will travel by metro.

The chief of the Athens Police Department, Demos Chakis, also paid a special visit to Simon Garcy, the British ambassador to Greece, and asked the British authorities to prevent unticketed fans from coming to Greece to watch the game, and strive to stop the unticketed fans at the source.

Italian fans have suffered heavy casualties in the Heysel tragedy, and in order to prevent similar incidents, Italy also sent police to Athens to help the Greek police maintain order in the game.

Liverpool felt this tense and strict atmosphere when they stepped off the plane, the security guards and airport police were several times more than usual, and the checks were extremely strict, so they almost escorted the Liverpool players to the bus to pick them up.

There were a lot of fans and reporters who picked up the airport, some of them were local Greek fans, and more were out-of-town fans who came to Athens in advance, wearing Liverpool jerseys, holding scarves and flowers, singing Liverpool's team anthem, giving Liverpool's players a feeling of returning to Anfield.

In the face of enthusiastic fans, Liverpool's players certainly can't ignore it, there are so many reporters on the scene, although they know that it will delay a lot of time, they still enthusiastically sign autographs and take photos of the fans, and repay the fans in this way.

When meeting with the fans, Benitez, Chen Yu, Gerrard and others also accepted live interviews with reporters mixed with the fans, they just simply said a few words about the scene, and did not take it seriously, but the reporters were also very satisfied, a few words are enough, as a reporter, if you don't turn a few sentences into an article that attracts fans, then they are definitely not qualified.

It took almost a minute for the Liverpool players to get out of the airport and get on a luxury bus sent by club staff to the hotel.

Coming to the hotel, Liverpool's players did not rest for the first time, but had a meeting, Liverpool came to Athens two days in advance, and the players had a lot of free time, Benitez was worried that some players did not know self-control, and made some news, which would affect the morale of the team, so it was necessary to hold a team meeting in advance to ring the alarm bell for the players.

During the meeting, Benitez highlighted the record and asked the players to be careful in their free time, not to go to nightclubs, not to drink too much, and not to go late at night. Benitez then told the players that this time the club's top management and owners are very serious about this game, and the two American owners will not only give a big prize for the championship, but also bring all their families to Athens to cheer for the team, and he hopes that the players will prepare carefully to ensure that they win the sixth European championship trophy in the team's history.

After the meeting, the Liverpool players went back to their rooms to rest, ready to step on the field and do a simple training

Chen Yu and coach Benitez enjoy a room by themselves, which is not enjoyed by captain Gerrard, but Liverpool has no objections, it is said that this is a quirk of Chen Yu, he does not like to live in a room with people, this is the case when he was in Florence, after coming to Liverpool, Liverpool's coaches and club managers have respected Chen Yu's living habits.

Chen Yu had just put down the box, changed his clothes and was about to sleep for a while, when the phone rang, it was Zhang Shubin calling.

Zhang Shubin is now in China, and he returned to China two days ago to help Chen Yu bring his family over to watch the Champions League final, but Zhang Shubin is now experiencing some difficulties.

Chen Yu's biological father and mother were willing to come, but they didn't want to take a flight with each other, because Chen Yu's mother hated Chen Yu's stepmother the most, and Chen Yu's father was also worried that his former and former wives would quarrel on the plane and affect the country's image, so he was unwilling to pass with his ex-wife.

Chen Yu's grandparents wanted to come, but they were afraid of causing trouble to Chen Yu, and they were worried that their bodies would not be able to take a plane, so they hesitated, so that Zhang Shubin had not completed the task of taking Chen Yu's family to Athens two days after returning to China.

Chen Yu was so angry and funny when he heard it, he had been divorced for so many years, and he was still like this, he couldn't sit together on a flight, and he was really speechless.

Chen Yu was not ready to bring his parents and grandparents over, but considering that they were getting older and older, Chen Yu was worried that it would be impossible to come out in the future, so he took advantage of this time to take his parents and grandparents abroad for a period of time, if the grandparents were not willing to go back, they would stay by their side, and if they wanted to go back, they would stay for a while and then go back, and at the same time let them rest assured that they were living well abroad, so as not to make them suspicious again.

Chen Yu pondered for a while, and asked Zhang Shubin to accompany his grandparents and mother, and let his father's family come alone, if he didn't have time, Zhao Muyu would be here soon, and let Zhao Muyu pick up his father and stepmother when the time came.

Because of the tight time, Zhang Shubin took Chen Yu's grandparents and mother to go first, and let two employees of his company accompany Chen Yu's father Chen Tao and his family on another flight.

Chen Yu just hung up the phone, and before he could put it down, Gao Fei called again and asked him to find a few tickets.

"How many tickets? Your tone is so big, no, this time it's really gone, my grandparents are here, I asked for these tickets from others. Now the tickets are too tight, only 17,000 tickets are given to the club, Liverpool has at least 50,000 people coming to Athens, fans are asking for tickets in front of the club every day, the staff are going crazy, where do you ask me to get it for you, I will print it for you. ”

Chen Yu immediately refused, he was not exaggerating at all, his ticket was also begged, but it was not what he begged for, it was the head coach Benitez who asked him from the club, the current war, no matter how nervous the tickets were, it could not affect Chen Yu's mood, Benitez personally asked Chen Yu for ten tickets from the person in charge of ticketing is CPOI Rick Parry.

"Nonsense, you also need to ask for votes? If you don't give me a ticket, I won't go to Athens to cheer you up, the black market tickets are too expensive, Nima is 5,000 pounds, and there is no market. Gao Fei said angrily, as a professional player, he couldn't get a few tickets, which made him very annoyed.

Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "You know a fart, you know how fanatical Liverpool's fans are, Nima's last Champions League final, Liverpool had 40,000 fans, Milan's 20,000 tickets have not been sold, you must know that Milan is much closer to Istanbul than Liverpool." Now the fans who watched all six Champions League home stadiums have not bought tickets, they are going crazy. Where do I get tickets, it's not about money. ”

Gao Fei was speechless, and said half-loudly: "Okay, I'll ask Uncle Zhang for a ticket, I don't believe that the sponsor will have a ticket in his hand, I asked him to get me one, originally my cousin's family wanted to come." ”

Chen Yu said: "It's good that you can come by yourself, and the tickets in the hands of the sponsors are also a turnip." ”

Gao Fei said: "Okay, five thousand pounds a ticket, I'm a little distressed, how can I let them come, but you have to invite me to dinner then." ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "That's certain, my grandparents are here, and there is just a lack of accompaniment." ”

Gao Fei smiled: "You have so many women, you still want me to accompany you." ”

Chen Yu smiled: "No matter how many women there are, they are not brothers, you and Uncle Zhang are necessary." ”

Gao Fei said: "Originally, I thought that if the ticket was not good, forget it, so I must go." ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "What do you mean by this, okay, if Uncle Zhang is not easy to handle, you call me, and I will ask Rick Parry if there is anything else." ”

Gao Fei said angrily: "You still have a way, and you actually asked me to find Uncle Zhang." ”

Chen Yu said: "I guess, the fans who watched all six Champions League home stadiums have priority, and they didn't buy tickets, which means that there are a lot of tickets that have not flowed into the hands of fans. ”

Gao Fei's eyes lit up, and he said: "The officials of the free country are also people, it must be like this, you ask, if you can't give some money." ”

Chen Yu said: "Okay, I'll ask you." There's only one. ”

Gao Fei said: "One is just one piece, Jaya is a reporter, no need." ”

Chen Yu said: "Why don't you let Jia Ya get it for you." ”

"Don't shirk it, it's you, you hurry up and ask me." After speaking, Gao Fei hung up the phone, not giving Chen Yu a chance to refuse.

Chen Yu shook his head, took out the tickets, counted them, ten, in addition to his grandparents, parents, Zhao Muyu, Zhang Youzhen, Xu Fei, and younger brothers and sisters, there was just one more.
