The Mercedes-Benz limousine bus slowly arrived at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Through the car window, everyone found that the most surprising thing here was the people, everywhere, densely packed with people.

If there was an overhead shot from mid-air at this moment, it would be an amazing photo of people on the ground as small and dense as ants, and almost all the fans were wearing two different colour shirts, one in Barcelona in red and blue, and the other in the white of defending champions Tottenham Hotspur.

In addition, more than 2,000 police officers gathered at the scene, all stationed near the Olympic Stadium, and the city of Rome banned the sale of beer from 48 hours before the games

Not only that, but in order to ensure security and effectively curb scalpers, all tickets must be real-name.

Tickets for this season's Champions League final are specially designed, the tickets have a special chip that records personal information, including names and ID numbers, and have electronic codes, all fans must show their tickets to the security staff to scan when they want to enter the stadium, and show their passports or valid identification for verification.

This work began as early as after Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona reached the final, and all but a very small number of sponsors had tickets in their hands that did not use the real-name system.

Another important factor in UEFA's emphasis on security for this final is that it attracted dignitaries and celebrities from both the UK and Spain.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, the Mayor of London, and members of the British royal family will all come to watch the game, while Spain will even have the king, the prime minister, the prime minister of Catalonia, and dignitaries in attendance, and the political and business celebrities of the two countries have arrived in Rome early.

"This will be the most spectacular Champions League final in recent years, as Tottenham Hotspur, who play attacking football, meet a delicate Barcelona, and the two teams will face each other ⊥ everyone enjoy the best and best football game in the world."

The live broadcast of the game actually started long before the players of the two teams arrived at the scene, the fans also entered the stadium early, and the organizing committee also arranged a series of warm-up programs to set off the atmosphere of the game.

But soon, the eyes of the fans in the world, the attention of the fans seated in the stadium were all attracted by the live broadcast on the TV screen and the big screen of the game, and the black Belgian van Houl double-decker luxury bus that Tottenham Hotspur arrived at the scene, and the bus drove directly into the stadium, but countless reporters had already gathered here.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, Mr. Ye Qiu, I heard that Messi will announce his transfer to Manchester City after this game, is it true?"

"Mr. Ye Qiu, what do you think about Messi's father's private meeting with the top management of Barcelona?"

"There have been rumours that Tottenham Hotspur will sell off their big stars for a new stadium, what do you think?"

"There are a lot of rumours that you will sell Tottenham Hotspur, but you will sell a few big names in the team to arbitrage, do you have any personal response to this?"

"Franck Franck Ribery, I heard that Real Madrid is going to pay you a sky-high transfer fee, and Zinedine Zidane has also offered you to join Real Madrid, can you personally respond to this rumour?"

"Messi, I heard that Manchester City and Barcelona want to get you on board, do you have any personal options? Playing Barcelona in this game, will you be under pressure? Ever thought about releasing water? ”

All the reporters at the scene seemed very excited, but Tottenham Hotspur was the first to walk down from Ye Qiu, and then the team walked off the bus one after another, no one spoke along the way, no one was interviewed, even if they were handed the microphone in front of them, they all blocked it, and then continued to move forward.

Obviously, Ye Qiu issued a gag order before the game, not only to the players, but everyone in the club, except for press officer Robert Milson to clarify the truth about Jorge's appointment with Budge, no one was interviewed, and even a reporter with the team violated Tottenham Hotspur's rules by interviewing Tottenham Hotspur players and asking about Messi, and then the team knew about it and immediately expelled the reporter from the hotel.

I heard that the reporter is also from Spain and has a good relationship with Miguel Kico.

"Good evening, all the people in front of the TV, and welcome to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy, where we are now broadcasting live for you the final of the UEFA Champions League from 20UR to 2009

The two teams in this final are the Spanish giants Barcelona and the Premier League upstart Tottenham Hotspur from England, and by the way, the head coach of Barcelona is the legendary star of this team, Josep Guardiola, and the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur is the world-famous Ye Qiu.

"Both sides have done a lot of preparation before the game, and we still don't know the starting line-ups of both sides, but there are quite a few media before the game that Barcelona may adopt a solid game strategy in this game, because in terms of attacking ability, Tottenham Hotspur is absolutely the best in the world

"Tottenham Hotspur were undoubtedly better in the past, beating Bayern Munich, then Real Madrid, Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League, and then in the semi-finals by a talented opponent Manchester United."

"Tottenham Hotspur have shown a strong attacking force throughout the process, and this team has been a bit attacking and defending a bit in the past, but from the performance of this season, Tottenham Hotspur's defensive level has really improved considerably, mainly due to the maturity of Thiago Silva and Kompany, and the arrival of Ukrainian star Ziglinski."

"As early as the past three days, the New York Times launched a special edition of the Champions League for three consecutive days, inviting five well-known football reporters in the world, including the editor-in-chief of the French team newspaper, Bildman, the deputy editor-in-chief of the Spanish newspaper Marca, Segura, etc., they are all well-known football authorities in the industry, and in the analysis, almost everyone is optimistic that Tottenham Hotspur can defend the title, for the simple reason that they feel that Tottenham Hotspur's offensive and defensive combination is better than Barcelona."

However, there are also many professionals who believe that if Tottenham Hotspur is allowed to attack, and Barcelona is to use defensive counterattacks to score, this is also a very dangerous tactic, because Tottenham Hotspur's offensive ability is almost impossible for any team to defend, so there are also a considerable number of people who think that Barcelona should take the initiative to attack Tottenham Hotspur's defense, and the sooner they score, the better

"Everyone knows that this is a very difficult choice, whether to attack or defend, Guardiola has a big crisis, and on the entire tactical board of Barcelona, their biggest weakness is undoubtedly in the front, they need a stable player who can hold the ball, just like Messi of Tottenham Hotspur."

While the commentators were analyzing, the players of both teams walked into the stadium one after another to start the pre-match warm-up, after which they would return to the locker room for the pre-match preparations.

"This game can be said to have attracted countless people from all walks of life to the scene, not only the King of Spain, the Prime Minister and other high-ranking political officials, but also a lot of members of the British royal family, including Prince Charles and his two children, as well as the British Prime Minister, the Mayor of London and so on."

"UEFA President Platini, Barcelona legend Cruyff, German football legend Beckenbauer and other football celebrities also appeared on the rostrum, as early as before the game, Cruyff said in an interview that Barcelona's biggest chance of winning is that they must play this game well, play well and win the game."

Before the game, Premier League manager Alex Ferguson also said in an interview that it doesn't matter what tactics Barcelona adopt to play Tottenham Hotspur, the important thing is not to always think about beating Tottenham Hotspur with a rhythm or a way of playing, because this team is very adaptable and the on-the-spot changes are also very targeted.

"There are also many people who support Barcelona, believing that possession is Barcelona's most powerful weapon, and Barcelona should try to control the ball at their feet to avoid being given more possession by Tottenham Hotspur, because Tottenham Hotspur likes to keep the team's possession rate at around 55% in some past games, and if it can beat Tottenham Hotspur's possession, it will undoubtedly provide more opportunities for Barcelona

Soon, the live broadcast camera captured that Ye Qiu, who was standing next to the coach's seat of the away team, was waving to the people in the stands at the bottom across a circle of track and field, and the camera quickly captured the stands and found that he was greeting his two children, at the same time, Ye Qiu's wife Huang Chu and his family, as well as Eliza Moon, who came from the United States, were also sitting in this row of stands, and the two children were waving vigorously holding the small flag of Tottenham Hotspur.

"Lovely two kids, isn't it? They let us see Ye Qiu's side as a father," the on-site narrator said with a smile, after all, Ye Qiu rarely exposes his children to the camera, so this is a rare opportunity.

After the pre-match warm-up, everyone returned to the locker room and began to wipe and change clothes to prepare for the game.

Ye Qiu leaned against the door of the locker room, not letting anyone in or out, and then swept his eyes over the locker room, watching everyone either changing clothes, or making the most difficult pre-game preparations, many people were obviously adjusting their mentality.

With such an important match, who would dare to say that they won't be nervous?

As a head coach who has been coaching for many years, Ye Qiu will be nervous every time he plays, because no one can guarantee before the game whether his tactics in this game will work, even if it is a game with a huge disparity in strength, he does not dare to guarantee it, because this is not only a test of your tactical pertinence, but also a test of your player's performance.

It's like a singer who has held countless concerts, although he knows every song he has well, can he guarantee that he can sing well every time he takes the stage? Or, is there no blemish

Obviously not, so they can be nervous, and even sometimes, the more experienced you are, the more stressed you will be.

Of course, experience and mental maturity can help you resist stress very well.

Everyone was done with their business, put on their jerseys, put on their shin guards, and sat in front of the closet in the locker room one by one.

"In the Champions League final, we already had an experience at this time last year, and it was an extremely painful lesson丨" Ye Qiu waited until everyone was cleaned up before walking to the middle of the locker room, "Last year, we were nervous in the first half, and we were poured three goals in one breath by Manchester United. ”

Many people present have experienced that final, they are still impressed by it, I believe that as long as the people who have experienced that game, it will be difficult to forget the experience of that final in this life, from pain to surprise, from despair to miracle, that process seems to be beautiful in hindsight, but if you are given another choice, you will not hesitate to say, N

The reason is simple, the first half was an absolute disaster

"I believe that no one knows better than you how to play a game like this, so my requirements for all of you are very simple, just follow our usual tactical play, follow our pre-match plan, treat it with a normal heart, and play at your own level, and that's enough."

"I don't care what kind of tactics Barcelona will adopt after the opening, whether they want to attack or defend to the death, in short, for us, it is the same, we have to do our best to make a good start, which requires each and every one of you to throw away all the complicated thoughts in my heart, devote myself to this game, and stay 100 per cent"

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu walked to the tactical board in the locker room, on which only the names of the two Barcelona players were written.

Xavi and Iniesta

"As I said before the game, we have to try to break the connection between these two players during the game, and for them, our defensive strategy is to limit, not press, never pounce, but to force them to pass back, to slow down their ball progress, and to make it difficult for these two players to get along."

Ye Qiu used his pen to draw a vertical line between Harvey and Iniesta, cutting them apart.

'There's another player to note, and that's Seydou Keita, a player I know very well, so if Pep Guardiola puts him on the pitch in this game, you have to be careful with him on the edge of the box, his long-range shots and his attacking ability from behind are excellent, and if you ignore that, he will teach us a hard lesson'

"I can't guess exactly how Barcelona's starting trident will be configured in this game, but no matter how they configure, they can't change one thing, that is, they lack a solid and powerful point up front, unless they are willing to push Iniesta up front, but in this way, the distance between Iniesta and Xavi is too wide, whether they can still ensure the team's possession, this is a very doubtful thing, we have to change according to the situation of the game"

Everyone nodded after listening to Ye Qiu's words, a very important reason why Barcelona's ball control is excellent is that Xavi and Iniesta have formed a powerful midfield possession combination with Busquets behind them, plus Pique and Mascherano in the backline, the entire midfield can form an effective possession position.

Andres Iniesta advanced to play as a winger, which has also happened in the past, Iniesta's forward movement did give Barcelona a point to take the ball and play the ball, but there were problems in the midfield and back, which directly affected the team's possession.

This is also an important reason why Barcelona's offensive ability is not outstanding this season, there is a lack of a stable and effective point to take the ball in front, that is, Messi in Ye Qiu's previous life, there is this point and there is no this point, and the offense is completely two levels.

Barcelona has been constantly adjusting and running in in the past two years, and even after Guardiola came to power, the team's style has changed dramatically, and a very important reason is that because of the appearance of Ye Qiu, Messi is not in the Barcelona team, which directly led to Barcelona's team style having to change dramatically.

This is a bit like Apple, because of the emergence of Ye Qiu, Ye Technology has seized a lot of resources in advance, including a series of innovative applications and experiences of smart phones, which makes it difficult for followers to break the shadow of Ye Technology, either follow the road paved by Ye Technology, or it is difficult to develop it themselves.

So even now, Apple's mobile phone has not been followed, and the same is true for tablet computers, because the core multi-touch and a series of other patents are in the hands of Leaf Technology, it is difficult for Apple to make a breakthrough, but the brain drain is quite serious, and many talents have jumped to Leaf Technology, the most famous is of course Jonathan Ivey.

This world will always be like this, the forerunners can eat fragrant meat, and the followers often don't even have bones, so they can only drink some soup.

Of course, Ye Qiu never felt that he had anything to be proud of, because he had the advantage of being a traverser, so he had always worked very hard and diligently to strengthen his own level, and tried to continue this advantage of his for a longer time.

One of the most important principles is that you can't understand everything, but it doesn't matter if you don't understand, leave professional things to the most professional people.

Ye Qiu has always adhered to this principle of his own, which is why Ye Technology has its current glory, and it is also the peak battle of Tottenham Hotspur tonight
