Volume 1 Chapter 471 To add insult to injury

An hour ago, both teams walked out of the tunnel and into the stadium, and at that time, their hearts were full of hope for the game, and they were both full of anticipation for the future, because they both thought they could win

An hour later, the Red-clad players walked out of the pitch and into the tunnel with a contented, even smug smile, and at this moment, their mood was written on their faces, on the gestures they made to greet their families and fans in the stands, and there was no need to say anything more.

And the Tottenham Hotspur players in white jerseys seemed to have fallen into a stinky ditch, and when they came out, they were stinking and beaten by stray dogs from passers-by.

Manchester United's players walked into the tunnel as if Napoleon's victorious army had passed through the Arc de Triomphe, with their heads held high and in high spirits; The Tottenham Hotspur players walked into the players' tunnel, like a lost dog chased by the enemy with nowhere to hide, and finally saw a dog hole in the corner of the wall, and quickly flew into it.

The shouts of Manchester United fans could be heard throughout the Luzhniki Stadium, and anyone could tell in their shouts the frenzied joy that they had already won the title ahead of schedule.

0 is definitely a score that condemns Tottenham Hotspur to death, and even if there is a miracle, it is impossible to reverse it

What's more, Ye Qiu often said that he was not favored by the goddess of miracles.

In the stands, there were many Tottenham Hotspur fans who left their seats, wondering if they would continue to return to their original seats after 15 minutes. Perhaps, a considerable number of them can't stand it anymore and want to leave, wanting to escape from this place that makes them feel ashamed and humiliated.

As soon as the first half of the game ended, Ye Qiu stood in the command area, watching the players leave one after another, and on the way, he also experienced the comfort of several veterans such as Van der Sar and Evra, or familiar players, but it was more like a kind of victor with pity and sympathy, comforting the loser, Ye Qiu didn't like to accept such comfort, so he looked expressionless from beginning to end.

Behind him, the coaching staff was busy at work, and Peter Brandt and others had already returned to the dressing room early, ready to make physical adjustments to the players at half-time, such as some massages, or to understand the physical and mental conditions of the players, so that they could understand their situation in the second half.

Roland was the first to go to one of the studios on the third floor of the Luzhniki Stadium, and Tottenham Hotspur's technical department staff arranged their office here today, in order to be able to quickly hand over the game data and analysis reports directly to the coaching staff, but now, all this seems to be unnecessary.

"The first half of this game is indeed a classic duel like a textbook" Cruyff looked at Ye Qiu standing on the sidelines, although he couldn't see his expression, his back gave people a very helpless frustration.

"Ye Qiu has done everything that a head coach should do, I believe he has done everything he can from the arrangement of the troops or from the pre-game points, but his team still suffered such a fiasco, which is definitely not a responsibility that should be borne by him."

"If you look at the process of the game, Manchester United's football is not as good as Tottenham Hotspur in terms of technical content, but Manchester United's football is more direct, faster and more powerful, he has shown almost everyone the charm of Manchester United football, and also told everyone a truth, technical skills cannot dominate everything."

"And we should also see that Manchester United is also stronger in the ability to take chances, of course, this is also related to the Tottenham Hotspur players are too impatient, especially after conceding the first goal, obviously messed up, but Manchester United's attacking efficiency is indeed higher, scoring three goals in a few attacks, this ability to seize opportunities is something Tottenham Hotspur does not have."

When he said this, Cruyff shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Some people say that a team that plays well always misses the championship, and perhaps, Tottenham Hotspur's encounter in this game will confirm this point again, because beautiful things are always so fragile and vulnerable." ”

Compared with Cruyff who still has a little sympathy for Tottenham Hotspur, Mourinho did not have the slightest politeness, and he directly said that Tottenham Hotspur could not have another chance in this game, and the championship had already belonged to Manchester United in advance.

"In fact, a very important reason for the debacle of Tottenham Hotspur is precisely the head coach, because Ye Qiu obviously misjudged his team, especially in his team's offensive ability, and was overconfident."

"I believe everyone still remembers that after Manchester United narrowly defeated Tottenham Hotspur 0, Ferguson once said that if he met Tottenham Hotspur again, he was absolutely sure that he could beat the opponent, at that time many people thought that this was what Ferguson said in order to cover up his victory, but from now on, he saw through the weakness of Tottenham Hotspur at that time."

"Playing in the cup is different from playing in the league, which puts a lot of emphasis on defence, or rather balance between attack and defence, and Tottenham Hotspur have not been very good defensively, especially compared to Manchester United, and they can finish second in the Premier League, and a big part of it is their attacking ability."

"From the process of this game, everyone will find that when their attack is contained, their defensive weakness is completely exposed, and Ye Qiu has always had a preference for Thiago Silva and assist-oriented full-backs that is difficult for outsiders to understand, so that the first half of this game suffered such a rout"

Football is like this, different people have different understandings of it, it's not surprising, so Cruyff and Mourinho have different views and ideas about Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur rout, which is understandable, both sides did not argue, but each said what he really thought in his heart.

In the middle of the chairman's stand, UEFA's bigwigs were moving around during the half-time break.

Abramovich is one of Russia's most famous tycoons and chairman of Chelsea, along with Manchester United's CPO David Gill, members of the Glazer family and, of course, Tottenham Hotspur's CEO Peter Kenyon.

Compared to other Tottenham Hotspur fans who are desperate for the team's 03 loss in the first half, Peter Kenyon is not in a very good mood, but it is not too bad, because he has indeed experienced a lot, and he has always had mixed feelings about football itself, perhaps this is an occupational disease.

It's like treating this final, in his opinion, Tottenham Hotspur can reach the Champions League final, which is already a victory in itself, which can at least win back huge benefits for Tottenham Hotspur, and even if the final rout deducts points, in general, the team is still developing and improving at a high speed.

As long as the current momentum continues, even if he loses the Champions League this season, the team will definitely be able to win it back in the near future, so in his opinion, this is obviously not a big problem, so his expression has always been very indifferent.

"Peter" Abramovich didn't know when he approached Peter Kenyon.

Kenyon raised his head and stood up, because he found that UEFA president Platini and other bigwigs had also come over, and they had obviously just come from David Gill's side, and they should have come to congratulate Manchester United.

"What a terrible first half, wasn't it?" Abramovich said with a smile to Peter Kenyon.

The tone was a little comforting, but he could also feel the schadenfreude, perhaps in his opinion, it was better not to reach the final than to suffer such a fiasco

"Football is like that, you can beat your opponent by a big score, and you can't stop your opponent from beating you, there is no team in this world that wins forever, does it?" Peter Kenyon replied lukewarmly.

Hearing Peter Kenyon's focused scoreline, Abramovich's face darkened and he was a little angry, but he didn't show it, because didn't his Chelsea lose to Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-finals?

Platini walked over and patted Peter Kenyon on the shoulder, "That's right, they Chinese have a saying, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, how can any team not lose?" But I think the only thing you can do in the second half is to try to minimise your losses, you know what I mean? ”

Peter Kenyon certainly understands what the UEFA president means, even if he loses, don't lose too ugly, if he really brushes up an unprecedented fiasco, no one wants to see it, and the loss to Tottenham Hotspur is also quite huge, especially the point deduction in the image.

For Platini, Peter Kenyon and Tottenham Hotspur have a fairly average impression of him, but the strategic purpose between the two is indeed the same, because Platini feels that the big teams are too strong and need to be suppressed to ensure the competitiveness of the major European leagues, so it is necessary to support the middle and lower teams.

Tottenham Hotspur wants to challenge the interests of the giants, and this team is obviously consistent with Platini's strategy whether it is from the owner, from the manager, or from the strength of the team, so the UEFA president has always had a good impression of this team, plus Tottenham Hotspur advocates attacking football and technical skills, which is also in line with Platini's taste.

But no one thought that in such a key final, Tottenham Hotspur had no choice between Jackie Chan and Adult Bee, and fell into the latter without any choice, which I don't know how many people who are optimistic about them have disappointed.

"I believe that Mr. Ye Qiu will make the best and most appropriate judgment, and I think that as long as the game is not over, we will only be behind, not lost, right, Mr. Platini?" Peter Kenyon replied without humility or arrogance.

Platini knew that he was not in a very good mood, but he was not very comfortable, but he felt that Peter Kenyon was a dead duck and refused to admit defeat, so he smiled, didn't say anything more, apologized to Peter Kenyon and left, obviously, he still felt that Tottenham Hotspur was out of play

After sending Platini and the others away, Peter Kenyon breathed helplessly, sat down again, and smiled a little helplessly, because he himself had nothing to do about the current situation, and his only hope was pinned on Ye Qiu.

At the very least, as Platini said, you can't lose too ugly

Ye Qiu didn't know what was going on in the stands, as soon as he walked into the players' tunnel, Peter Brandt came to him as soon as possible, and told him that his already terrible mood completely sank a lot.

Ribery was wounded

Every professional player has some injuries on their bodies, but Tottenham Hotspur's medical team has always been very careful to ensure that minor injuries and illnesses of players do not affect the game, but there are some injuries in the course of the game that no one can guarantee, and no one can avoid such things.

Ribery bumped into his left leg in a first-half confrontation with Rio Ferdinand, didn't feel it at the time, got up and jumped a few times before continuing to play, but after the game, Peter Brandt noticed that his left ankle was swollen.

"You have to think about who to replace him," Peter Brandt handed down the death sentence for Franck Ribery's trip to the Champions League final, "and you have to go in and persuade him, you should know his character very well"

Ribery is a hooligan when he plays tricks, it is useless for anyone to tell him, and no one can persuade him, except for Ye Qiu.

As the saying goes, one thing drops one thing, Ye Qiu personally went to the French construction site to poach him, a brick mover, to the Premier League, and personally cultivated him into the hottest superstar in the current world of football, even if Ribery has a big temper, he doesn't dare to vent to Ye Qiu, but every time he sees Ye Qiu, he has to wither.

This is not because Ye Qiu's temper is greater than him, but because Ye Qiu has already established in his heart the authority of a master, a father, and a brother.

"TND" Ye Qiu exhaled a few heavily, turned around and kicked towards the wall.

Peter Brandt can understand Ye Qiu's mood at this moment, he played so badly in the first half of the loss, and he didn't even give full play to his usual strength of two or three percent, and now he was just about to reorganize and counterattack, but he folded the most powerful general, how could Ye Qiu's mood be good?

Just when Ye Qiu was thinking about what to do, Roland Shepas also came out of the elevator of the stadium, holding a thick stack of thirty or forty pages of reports in his hand, which detailed the information and data of the two sides in the entire first half, as well as the analysis of Manchester United's strengths and weaknesses.

Ye Qiu took the stack of reports from Roland's hand, but the Dutch fat man did not hand it over to him immediately, but grasped it tightly.

"There are still forty-five minutes, even seventy-five minutes, and we haven't lost yet," Luo Fatzi said heavily.

Ye Qiu pulled hard, and directly pulled the report into his hand, "I know better than you" After speaking, he walked to the locker room, while Luo Fatzi was eye-to-eye with Peter Brandt, and the latter also looked aggrieved, because he didn't know what Ye Qiu was thinking in his heart.

As soon as I pushed the door open, I heard Ribery shouting from inside, "Seal me up, I can still play in the second half"

The rest of the players were silent, no one spoke, so the dressing room was so quiet that only Ribery's voice was clear, and it also showed how low the mood of all the Tottenham Hotspur players is now.

Ye Qiu pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in, he swept the players sitting on the three walls of the locker room for the first time, and then his eyes fell on Ribery's left ankle, which was indeed very swollen and not suitable for playing, even if it was closed.

Seeing Ye Qiu walk in, Ribery also stood up, looking very excited.

His excitement is definitely not fake, as he is currently at a pivotal moment in his career

Even before the Champions League final, many media have been hyping and publicizing, believing that the most eye-catching performers in Europe this season are Tottenham Hotspur's Franck Franck Ribery and Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, both of whom are the best stars of the season and the most powerful contenders for UR World Footballer of the Year and European Footballer of the Year.

Coincidentally, both players reached the Champions League final, so many people say that this year's Champions League final, as well as the European Championship in the summer, will be an important criterion to measure who is better than these two players, and whoever performs well will be able to win the World Footballer of the Year and European Footballer of the Year.

Therefore, for Franck Franck Ribery, this Champions League is not only about the team's honor, but also about his own performance, but also about his future and future, because he hopes that he can one day become the best star on the planet like his predecessor Zinedine Zidane.

Yes, when he was a brick mover in France before, he never had such extravagant hopes, and he didn't even dare to dream of it, but people will change, and people's dreams and goals are constantly changing with the change of circumstances

That's it

If he ends this Champions League final with a score of 03 like this, then he will be tantamount to letting the honor at his fingertips pass away, and such an opportunity may be difficult to appear again in his future career.

The athletic life of a professional footballer is so short, so fragile, so elusive, who knows what will happen in the future? Who can guarantee what will happen to them in the future?

"Head, I" Ribery saw Ye Qiu walk in, and wanted to open his mouth to ask.

But Ye Qiu waved his hand, "I know what you want to say, I understand you."

But soon, Ye Qiu's words changed, "But I'm sorry, Frank, I don't have a habit of joking about player injuries, so in the second half, you have to stay on the bench." ”

Ribery's mind went blank as soon as he buzzed, and his first reaction was to justify and explain, but Ye Qiu shook his head.

"However, I can promise you, Frank" Ye Qiu stared at Ribery's eyes with a solemn face, and promised word by word: "Everything you missed today, I will definitely help you regain it, I, and Tottenham Hotspur, will definitely help you regain a Champions League that belongs to you, this is my promise and guarantee to you"

"However, in the second half I couldn't let you play because we were going to fight back"
